But 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: I would argue, Brian, though, that it would be difficult 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: to find two bigger college football fans on this network 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: then you or me. 13 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 3: There's some that are equal, but. 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: I would have a tough time maybe finding someone who 15 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: loves college football more than you and I. 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 3: And we come. 17 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 2: Out on completely opposite ends of the spectrum in one 18 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: of the biggest spories stories in sports this week, and 19 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: that's not just the fourteen team buy being proposed for 20 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff, but it's the first round buys 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: that could possibly be headed to the SEC in the 22 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: Big ten. Good afternoon, Happy Sunday to you, Brian, No. 23 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: Same to you. 24 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 4: Dan Byer, I'm happy to be here with you, and 25 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 4: we are on polar opposite ends on this issue, and 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 4: it sounds like we're first taking it here, you know 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 4: what I mean, Like you take this position, I take 28 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 4: that position. No, it's how we honestly feel about the 29 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 4: first round byes. We are on completely opposite ends to 30 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 4: the table here. 31 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: In the news that came out this week were that 32 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: the SEC and the Big Ten, we're saying, hey, if 33 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: we're going to have first round bys, then they should 34 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: go to the champions of our conference. And now you're 35 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: getting pushed back from the ACC, and push back from 36 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: the Big twelve, and heck, maybe even push back from 37 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: the Group of Five, and push back from Brian know 38 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: who wants absolutely nothing to do with it. And I 39 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: actually think it's really the only fair thing to do 40 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: in this new world of college football, that sooner or 41 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: later people are going to have to accept that this 42 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: is what it is. And just the SEC and the 43 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: Big Ten are so stacked right now in entering the 44 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: up coming season that if you look ahead and you 45 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: look down the road, there is no way that you 46 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: can argue that the SEC and Big Ten are even 47 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: close to the other conferences, so they should be getting 48 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: first round byes, and it is actually something that makes sense. 49 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 2: Am I not loved the fourteen team bracket, but let's 50 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: be real here, the SEC and the Big ten are 51 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: going to be light years ahead of these other conferences 52 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: and deserve a first round by if it does go 53 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: to fourteen teams. 54 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: Okay, the first thing I think of is where do 55 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: I slot among everything else that you mentioned? You know, 56 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: am I like the Big twelve is over me? But 57 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 4: am I slightly ahead of the group of five in 58 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 4: terms of my annoying voice. 59 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 5: Just banging the table like no, this is stupid. 60 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 4: Here I go to a quote from Mike Gundy, head 61 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 4: coach of Oklahoma State, and I love how he said this. 62 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 4: He says, quote, a playoff format that guarantees a first 63 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 4: round by to any team, division or conference before the 64 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 4: season starts is unheard of in any sport as far 65 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 4: as I'm aware. Based on the premise proposed, a team 66 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 4: could be undefeated and ranked number one in the country 67 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: and still not receive a first round by because teams 68 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 4: were awarded one before the season even began. Like end quote, Yes, 69 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: Mike Gundhy absolutely shout out to you. 70 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 5: And your mullet. He is right on that. He's on 71 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 5: top of this one. 72 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 4: Like, I don't understand why if more times than not 73 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: you would have an SEC team or a Big ten 74 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: team earn the first round by. 75 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 5: Why would that need to be predetermined? Just earn it 76 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 5: on your own? 77 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: Why is that slotted? Can you imagine if we did 78 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 4: this in the NFL. What if they said before a season, Hey, 79 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 4: whoever wins the AFC West you get a bye, and 80 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: whoever wins the NFC East, you guys get a bye. 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: And they'd be like, well, the Niners, they actually have 82 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 4: the best record in twenty twenty four in the NFC, 83 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 4: that doesn't matter. We already predetermined that the winner of 84 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 4: the NFC East would get the buy. That makes no sense. 85 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: Should I believe there's no chance at all? 86 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: There are year seats, Brian know where there are two 87 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: top teams in a conference and one of those teams 88 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: is the second seed in the AFC and would have 89 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: to play a first round game, while someone in the NFC, 90 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: guess what gets a first round by and it's because 91 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: of the conference that they are in, Like there are parallels. 92 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: Mike Gundhy doesn't realize that there's an actual parallel to 93 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: what he's talking about. He's mad that this would be predetermined. 94 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 5: It would be trevy. 95 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: It would be predetermined that the Big Twelve gets two 96 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: automatic qualifiers in the bracket before the season even begins. 97 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: Like that sounds absurd. The Big Twelve, no matter how 98 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: crappy your conference may be, you're not only only gonna 99 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 2: get one with a champion, but you're also gonna get 100 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 2: another team in there. When the SEC or the Big 101 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: Ten may have five or six schools better than the 102 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: second team in the second best team in the Big Twelve, 103 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: they're already pred determining things. So it's not a new thing. 104 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: It's not that they're making it up. That's where Gundy's 105 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: point is. Often in the NFL, you gotta have two 106 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: of the best teams in the NFL. Colton Patriots, you 107 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: know for years manning against Brady, Well, guess what if 108 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: it was under this format, one of them would have 109 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: had to have had a first round opponent, because the 110 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: team in the NFC that had the best record gotta 111 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 2: buy Because that's what's set up. That's all that the 112 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: Big Ten of the SEC are going to be light 113 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: years ahead. And if you have a conference where you 114 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: have a twelve and one team in the Big Ten 115 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: or SEC, their schedule is going to be so much 116 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: better than what would be a Florida State scenario that 117 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: we have to face, the unbeaten scenario that Mike Gundy 118 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 2: talks about. That's what they're trying to avoid is well, 119 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: look at the zero in our lost column. Well, you 120 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: only played Clempson this year. 121 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 5: Well that's you gotta earn it. You gotta earn it. 122 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 4: Last year Washington was number two, like going into the 123 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 4: College Football Playoff, that was a Pac twelve school, that 124 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 4: was a non Big Ten, non SEC school, and under 125 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: this proposed format of like automatic buys, they wouldn't have 126 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 4: gotten a bye. So the number two ranked team wouldn't 127 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 4: have gotten a bye that goes to the top two teams. 128 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 5: That makes no sense. 129 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: The NFL, they don't have pre determined buys. 130 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 5: You earn it, like that's the thing. 131 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 4: If the SEC and the Big Ten have a representative 132 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 4: that earns it, great, have ad it. 133 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 5: But to determine that. 134 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: Before the season, as if what Florida State couldn't be 135 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 4: number one or number two, Clemson couldn't be number one 136 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 4: number two, go on and on. They can't teams that 137 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 4: could be up there, like they can't earn a buy 138 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 4: even though they're ranked number one debts. 139 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 5: That makes zero sense. 140 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: And the reason that they can't is like it or not, 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: it's what college football is. When you have the Big 142 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: Ten in the SEC so stacked and you even mentioned 143 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: this bracket. What are the four teams that made the 144 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: playoff this past season now have in common? They'll either 145 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: be in the Big Ten or the SEC. And the 146 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: gaps that were between the Pac twelve and the ACC 147 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: and the SEC over the past years, we're I don't 148 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: want to say negligible, but you could argue there was 149 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: a point where we thought maybe the Pac twelve was 150 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: the best conference in football this past year. Well, now 151 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: you lose USC, Oregon and Washington and then UCLA to 152 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: the Big Ten. The Big twelves champion was Texas. They 153 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: now go to the SEC. There's just no way that 154 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: you could take those losses of those schools. And I 155 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: love Utah, I love what Kyle Winningham has done. Arizona's 156 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: obviously going under some change with Jedfish no longer there, 157 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: but they had a great season last year. Them going 158 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: to the Big twelve and Dion Sanders coming in is 159 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: not enough to close the gap that the SEC and 160 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: the Big Ten have made by the additions of those schools. 161 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 4: I don't know why you want to predetermine that though. 162 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 4: And that's the thing is, if you look at the 163 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: SEC or the Big Ten, it's impressive the top team 164 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 4: that they have, but they still have teams that are 165 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: in the middle. They still have bottom feeders. You could 166 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: pick any school you want in either conference. They don't 167 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 4: play the best of the best the conference has to 168 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 4: offer from top to bottom. They've got some middle tier opponents, 169 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 4: they've got some bottom feeder opponents, and it's going to 170 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 4: be comparable to the schedules that other teams play in 171 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 4: other conferences not named the Big. 172 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 5: Ten or the SEC. 173 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 4: So play it out and earn it. You don't have 174 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: anything predetermined. 175 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: Do you think that the ACC then would say, all right, 176 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: we will do away with our automatic qualifying bids because 177 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: we want the opportunity for our potential champ to be 178 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 2: to get a first round by. 179 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 4: I don't know what they would say, but I know 180 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 4: that you can have your cake and eat it too, 181 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Like this idea that we 182 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 4: should just go along with the predetermined first round byes. 183 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, Dan, I'll meet you a slightly halfway. 184 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 4: It sounds like we might be on the same page 185 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 4: maybe on this one. I hate that in this fourteen 186 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 4: team playoff ort, we would have eleven automatic qualifying spots, 187 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 4: we'd only have three at large bids. And regardless of 188 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 4: the conference it could be whatever, Big twelve could be, 189 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 4: Big ten like to automatically qualify two or three teams 190 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 4: depending on your conference. What if you don't have a 191 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: team that's in the top fourteen and you automatically get 192 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 4: a seat at the table. 193 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 5: I don't like that either. 194 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: That's Louisville and the ACC this past year. You know, 195 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: they play in the ACC Championship game. And that's the question, like, 196 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: does the ACC with the ACC want to risk only 197 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: having one team maybe being their Numero Uno thirteen and 198 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: oh squad getting that first round buyer? Would they rather 199 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: have two institutions automatically be placed in the bracket. And 200 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 2: I think that's what the Big ten and the SEC 201 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: are saying is they're saying, listen, the gaps between our 202 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 2: leagues and their other leagues are significant. We are we 203 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: we understand that that if we're going to give them 204 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: two automatic qualifiers per league, that we at least need 205 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: something a little bit more, because there could be a Michigan, 206 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 2: Ohio State Washington scenario and here's Oregon sitting there and 207 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 2: they watch Louisville get into the bracket instead of the 208 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: Ducks because you know that could play out, or Oregon 209 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: in a Penn State because now you're also competing with 210 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: other SEC teams. That's where Gundhy was wrong in this 211 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: and saying that this has never happened before, but it's 212 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: actually happening within the bracket. To your point, Brian, they 213 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: should just take the fourteen best teams and if you 214 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: wanted to keep one from the group of five, then 215 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 2: move that in. But when you start as signing automatic qualifiers, 216 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: you're then limiting the power of the actual powers in 217 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: college football. And I don't know if people are just 218 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: so anti against the fourteen. I know you and I 219 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: don't love it, but it's the reality of what college 220 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: football is is there is just going to be a 221 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: huge enormous gap between what the SEC and the Big 222 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 2: Ten provide and the ACC and the Big twelve. And 223 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: that's where I actually think the big ten in the 224 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: SEC are like, you gotta at least give us this. 225 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: If we're allowing you guys for automatic spots, and maybe 226 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: two of those would already be earned, but they're sacrificing 227 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 2: other things. They want something off the top. And if 228 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: it's the top two seeds, I think it's only fair 229 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: for how far ahead those two leagues are going to 230 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 2: be past these other conferences. 231 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 4: I hate all of this, and I love college football, Dan, 232 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 4: I would if we're going to twelve teams. We've talked 233 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 4: about this, I'll give you the cliff notes version. I 234 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 4: would like to see the five and seven model, and 235 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: they have that. 236 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 5: That's what we have for two years. 237 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 4: And I would love to see home games throughout the 238 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 4: playoffs except the title game, just like the NFL. That 239 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 4: would be amazing to have every game at a home stadium, 240 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: way better than a neutral site in the semi final 241 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 4: round or what have you. Right, I would love that 242 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 4: if we expand it to fourteen, because we've got to. 243 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 5: Have more money, more money, more money. 244 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 4: If you had a five plus nine, I'd much rather 245 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 4: have that. I'd rather have five spots. You win your conference, Okay, 246 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 4: you get a seat there and you know we have 247 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 4: nine automatic like nine at large bids earn your way 248 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 4: in there. 249 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: I hate this and I don't think that the Big 250 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 2: twelve or ACC want that because they are Look at 251 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: what happened to Florida State, right, I mean, you lose 252 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: Jordan Travis. And I know this is not to say 253 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: that the Big twelve or ACC will have, you know, 254 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: to lose their starting quarterback. But another reason what was 255 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: so difficult was Florida State really kind of just hung 256 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: their hat on the win against LSU, you know, at 257 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 2: the start of the season, like that was the one 258 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: that you can point to where their conference didn't provide 259 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: much resistance outside of of what you had. Again, Louisville 260 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: was their opponent in the conference championship game. 261 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: Michigan. 262 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, they had to play Io win the conference championship, 263 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 2: but the week before they played an unbeaaten Ohio State team. 264 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: And so that's where I think like the ACC and 265 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 2: where the Big ten of the SEC also realizes if 266 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: you are the ACC, yeah, you kind of got to 267 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 2: accept what it is and it's a power plan. I 268 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: think we all kind of have to. Like there's we 269 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 2: could be mad at the fourteen team system. And it 270 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: may be we may be mad at the Big Ten 271 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: and the SEC for doing it, but in terms of 272 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: what they're asking, it actually isn't as big of an ask. 273 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: If you realize what the landscape of college football is 274 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: about to become. 275 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 4: It depends how you look at it, Dan, because I 276 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 4: could see it one way. Basically, what you're arguing is 277 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 4: you could have sixcess SC teams, Yes, fourteen team playoff. 278 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 5: It could happen. 279 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 4: And so by saying, hey, we only have three where 280 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 4: you're leaving some you know you're leaving, you're negotiating against 281 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 4: yourself a little bit, right. But if you say, well, 282 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 4: then okay, you got to give us a perk where 283 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 4: we get an automatic buy us in the Big Ten, 284 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: it's like, well, play that out. 285 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 5: You've got. 286 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 4: Whoever gets those buys, you've got a huge advantage that's 287 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 4: predetermined where you have to win three games to win 288 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 4: a title, while every team that doesn't have a buye 289 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 4: has to win four against the best competition the sport 290 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 4: it has to offer. That's a drastic difference, especially. 291 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 5: If you didn't earn it. You know, if you end 292 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 5: up being number one or number two, I don't have 293 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 5: a problem with it. 294 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 4: But if you're the fourth ranked team and you get 295 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 4: an automatic buy just because of your conference affiliation, what 296 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 4: are we doing here? 297 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 3: It's they look greedy. 298 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: They sound greedy because of how they've shaped this, and 299 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: it looks like they're asking for even more. 300 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 301 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: But again, like the I bring this inn arean, as 302 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: you bring it up, the SEC may feel that they 303 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: would want six teams in the bracket. Yeah, and that's 304 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: not going to happen if you allow the ACC and 305 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: Big twelve to have an additional automatic qualifier outside of 306 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: their conference champion. 307 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 5: That's right. 308 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: And yeah, so it's it's and listen, we're in a 309 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: spot now and this is this is reality. We are 310 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: going to be arguing if in this and I know 311 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: it's difficult to go un beaten in college football, but 312 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: you're gonna have thirteen and zero and a Big twelve 313 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: or an ACC against a twelve and one in the 314 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: SEC and the Big Ten, and it's it's not like 315 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: it was this past year at all, and where you 316 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: can say it's clearly like the twelve and one in 317 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: the SEC and the Big Ten will likely be better 318 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: than any thirteen and zero because of the quality of 319 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: wins those leagues put up against the Big twelve in 320 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: the ACC. 321 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 4: Well likely yes, certainly no, And the format is saying 322 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 4: certainly it will. And that's what I disagree with, Like, 323 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 4: just let it play out. If you earn it, you 324 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 4: earn it. I think this, and I'll say it fast, 325 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 4: and I think this is the bigger picture. And this 326 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 4: is why I hate all of this stuff is because 327 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 4: I see the SEC and the Big ten. They're already 328 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 4: starting to throw their weight around here and they're saying, 329 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 4: we need this first round by we should get X 330 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 4: amount percentage of the money. 331 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 5: We need. 332 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 4: This is we need more automatic qualifying spots. We need, 333 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 4: we need, we need, And one of two things gonna happen. 334 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 4: Either they're gonna get it and I don't like that outcome, 335 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: or they're not gonna get it and they're gonna say, hey, 336 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 4: why do we need all of you guys anyway? Sure right, 337 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 4: you're episode it's really headed. 338 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, you know, take our demands and accept them. 339 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: Otherwise we'll go off and do our own thing. 340 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 5: Yeah. 341 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: And then where does that leave the ACC? Because where 342 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: does Florida State want to go? Where would Clemson want 343 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: to go in such a power position, and it just 344 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 2: it sounds dirty, it sounds weird. It just I mean, 345 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: we were just coming off of the heels of the 346 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 2: twelve team announcement and now we're saying fourteen. And then 347 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 2: you add on that that the Big Ten of the 348 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 2: SEC want buys. I get it, I get the you know, 349 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: the the sticker shock and seeing that. But it's the 350 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 2: reality of what college football is about to become. That's 351 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 2: why they actually probably should be asking for it. 352 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 5: I hate it. 353 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 4: I hate it, Dan, because it goes against everything that's 354 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 4: made college football special. We're going to sacrifice some of 355 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 4: the meaning of the regular season to have more teams 356 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 4: in the playoff. 357 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 5: We get that. 358 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 4: But to then say, hey, even before we've teed it 359 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 4: up for the first game, we already have the SEC 360 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 4: and the Big Ten. Those are the byes, like those 361 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 4: are the automatic buys anybody whoever the top team is 362 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,239 Speaker 4: in those conferences. That goes against everything you and I 363 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: have watched since we've been alive. 364 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 5: I hate all of that. 365 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 4: It sucks for Mike Gundy to say it's unheard of, 366 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely for Sunny Dykes at TCU saying it's preposterous, totally 367 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 4: with them. Love those words. And they're absolutely accurate. When 368 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 4: you look at college football from a historical standpoint, this 369 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 4: goes against everything it's been forever. 370 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: H Hey, roll the dice TCU and see if you 371 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: get that second bit. If you don't win the conference, 372 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 2: and we'll see then we'll see how things go.

Like 445 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: forty thousand, like if he's already scored the most points. 446 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 2: I don't know what the forty thousand point threshold actually means, 447 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: but Lebron James passed it last night and again as 448 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: humble as ever in making a mark in the NBA, 449 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 2: despite losing to the Denver Nuggets. 450 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 7: To be quite honest with you, everybody wanted to see 451 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 7: me fail. When I got to the league. Everybody was 452 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 7: just like, it's not it's no way he's going to 453 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 7: be able to exceed, you know, the expectations that's put 454 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 7: upon him. 455 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 5: Okay, I missed that part, Dan. 456 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: I missed the I was. I thought I was alive 457 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 3: in three h four. 458 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: I was, But I also may have missed this part 459 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 2: where everybody was cheering against him. 460 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. 461 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 4: Well, the first thing, I like what you said about 462 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 4: throwing a party, you know, getting to forty thousand points 463 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 4: right there. It's kind of like Sinko to Sace. You know, 464 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 4: if you throw it's just sure a block party. It's like, okay, okay, 465 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 4: we can run it back. 466 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 5: I guess. 467 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 4: But yeah, Lebron, listen. First off, it's an amazing accomplishment. 468 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 4: And I swear only Lebron could say something so stupid 469 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 4: to take away our focus of how amazing this milestone is. 470 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 4: What is he talking about? Everybody wanted him to fail. 471 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 4: His games were on his high school games are on ESPN. 472 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 5: You think the. 473 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 4: NBA executives were like, man, oh, if only this guy 474 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 4: from Akron who has monstrous hype could not live up 475 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 4: to it and just fail miserably, that'd be awesome for us. 476 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 4: This is I think Dan, and you mentioned it. If 477 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,239 Speaker 4: you think about the social media day and age, and 478 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 4: of course Lebron he brings out the venom and a 479 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 4: lot of people if you get a steady diet of that. 480 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 4: I think sometimes you just believe that's what the masses 481 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 4: think instead of a small segment of So maybe that's 482 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 4: gotten him to think this, But there's no chance that 483 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 4: everybody wanted the guy to fail from the beginning. 484 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 5: That's not true at all. 485 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: Here's here's where I like think like Lebron misses at 486 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 2: times anywhere it's all all about him, Like when he 487 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 2: passes Kareem for the all time scoring mark, he's in 488 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: a Laker uniform. You could be very humble. You can, 489 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 2: you know, keep your praises on Kareem. I get it, 490 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 2: Like nobody else has forty thousand points. There's nobody else there, 491 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 2: So there's nobody that you could pass it along to. 492 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 2: But what you can do is saying, like, I think 493 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 2: forty thousand points is a testament to you know, my 494 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 2: long career and I wouldn't have a long career if 495 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 2: it wasn't without great teammates, with great coaches, with great trainers, 496 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 2: with everybody who's helped me along the way. I mean, 497 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: this starts when I was just coming into the league. 498 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 2: Then you name a couple of people, I think that's 499 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: the proper way to do it instead of saying you 500 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 2: all counted me out forty thousand points that are boom 501 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: in your face, boom roasted. 502 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just had a flashback with you saying that. 503 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 4: It made me think of Kevin Rant and not that 504 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 4: long ago he passed Hakeem Elijahwan on the all time 505 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 4: scoring list, and he just had a funny story where 506 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 4: he was like, my mom had a crush on Hakim 507 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 4: when I was growing up, and he was like, whenever 508 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 4: you pass one of the greats, it's awesome, and he 509 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 4: just kind of reflected on like his mom and the 510 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 4: game itself, and it was just like a cool moment. 511 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 4: It's like, Hey, I'm happy for KD to reach that milestone, 512 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 4: and we should be like that with Lebron. 513 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 5: But Lebron, I swear, could write. 514 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 4: A book in hustling backwards when it's one of these like, 515 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 4: oh ah, you guys wanted me to fail. No we didn't, 516 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 4: and that takes our focus away from an amazing accomplishment 517 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 4: that only one guy on the face of the earth 518 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 4: has accomplished. 519 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 5: That's that's really bad. I was. 520 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 2: I was in Cleveland in the summer of three and 521 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: bought a bunch of Lebron James stuff. 522 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 3: Was I a Cavs fan? 523 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: Heck no, yeah, right, there's no reason due but yeah, 524 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: that's where you know, I loaded up. And I would 525 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: have to think that there are a lot of other 526 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 2: people like me, and you know, and and the point 527 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 2: as well is when he talks about people being against him, 528 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: it wasn't until the heel turn of the Miami Heat, 529 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: maybe a bit, but they were still they were underdogs 530 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: in the finals, you know, to the to the San 531 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 2: Antonio Spurs in two thousand and seven, and they ended 532 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: up getting swept in that series. And I still think 533 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 2: that there was a lot of love for him, but 534 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: it was the heel turn when he ends up going 535 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: to the Heat, that changes some of the narrative. And 536 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 2: even still with that, there are a lot of people 537 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: who still followed him. And then he you know, mended 538 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: the hearts back in Cleveland. So this a lot of 539 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: people listen, A lot of people said that he wouldn't 540 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 2: be able to do this because it was unthinkable. I'll 541 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: give him credit in the in the fact of to 542 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: have somebody live up to the hype like he has, right, 543 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: just very very few have done. 544 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: But I feel that we've said that. 545 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: That's not hating, that's just I think having realistic expectations 546 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: of what you would think in NBA career would be. 547 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody thought forty thousand points. And if 548 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 2: he didn't say it in two thousand and three after 549 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: he was drafted, you're a hater. Just it's you know, 550 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 2: he's had such an amazing career. I don't know how 551 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 2: anybody could have thought he would have done this right. 552 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 4: And that's the thing is, I mean, think about it 553 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 4: from Lebron's perspective for a little bit, where he has 554 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 4: for his whole NBA career gotten a steady diet of 555 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 4: not as good as Jordan, not as good as Jordan, right, repeat, repeat, repeat. 556 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 4: No one thought anyone would pass kareems Mars. Sure, well, 557 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 4: most people did. Maybe there was a couple here or there, 558 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 4: but for the most part, the masses never thought that 559 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 4: mark would be reached. And he got there and then 560 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 4: got to forty thousand points. That's insane. But there's a 561 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 4: big difference between us being skeptical, like could anybody live 562 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 4: up to the hype that Lebron had coming into the 563 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 4: NBA and saying everybody wanted me to fail, Like that's 564 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 4: there's a big difference between those two. 565 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 5: So I'm just trying to see it from his point 566 00:26:59,320 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 5: of view. 567 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 4: If he goes on X and starts, hey, let me 568 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 4: check out my mentions, and it's just like you this 569 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 4: and you that, and you're not Jordan it you get 570 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 4: that for two decades, you might start to think, man, 571 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 4: the masses are against me, But it's not the reality 572 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 4: that everybody wanted him to fail. 573 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 5: That was never the case ever since he's been in 574 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 5: the NBA. 575 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: I think more than not, if you just break it 576 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 4: down percentage wise, Dan, I think more have wanted him 577 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 4: to succeed than to fail. That would be a true debate. 578 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 4: But to say everybody wanted him to fail, that's not 579 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 4: even close to be in the. 580 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 2: Case again, and he brought it upon himself with the 581 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: decision that I actually think was great for the NBA. 582 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: It wasn't great for the Cavaliers, but it didn't make 583 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 2: him that villain up until that point. I remember that 584 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 2: overtime game against the Pistons in Game five of the 585 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals, It's one of those games that you 586 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 2: get wrapped up and he started cheering, you know, cheering 587 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: for the person, and you had no dog in the fight, 588 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 2: you know in it. I mean, Chris Perherfet's a you know, 589 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 2: Pistons guy. I don't mean to exclude you from this, 590 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 2: but that's amazing basketball. When he's young in his career. 591 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 2: You may dislike him as a Pistons fan, but there's 592 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 2: no there's no hate or wanting him to fail at 593 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: any point. 594 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 595 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 8: I went to that Cavs parade, did you? 596 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 5: And they won? 597 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 9: When they won that, I was living in Toledo at 598 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 9: the time. I even got asked by the local stations Leo, 599 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 9: why I'm going there because I was working there. I'm like, 600 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 9: I'm never going to see anything like this again. He's 601 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 9: an icon. He's something that is unique to the culture. 602 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 9: And I got to experience that with millions of other 603 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 9: people who just swarmed Cleveland that day. That was a 604 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 9: piece of history. I don't think I would ever root 605 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 9: against that. 606 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 5: Was that when JR. 607 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 4: Smith was shirtless, Yes, what I did, so, I was 608 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 4: at the rally point. 609 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 9: What I didn't know is the barrier broke the minute 610 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 9: they left the queue, and that's why it was taking 611 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 9: hours for them to get to the actual rally during 612 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 9: the parade. 613 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 4: You know what, I'll say one thing real fast here, Dan, 614 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 4: because I just started thinking about it. 615 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 5: You could identify with this. 616 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 4: As a radio guy, I call some of the listener's joysuckers, 617 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 4: you know what I mean, where sometimes you finish the 618 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 4: show and then you go on X and it's. 619 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 5: Like you suck where's the normal host? You know what 620 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 5: I mean? 621 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 4: And Lebron has had to deal with a lot like 622 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 4: countless joysuckers over the last twenty plus years while he's 623 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 4: been in the NBA, and I hate that. 624 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 5: I hate that. 625 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 4: For as accomplished as he is and how much he 626 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 4: loves the game of basketball, there are joysuckers in bulk 627 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 4: that come along with that, and I hate that. But 628 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 4: that's the reality of it. But still it goes way 629 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 4: too far to say everybody wanted to see me thing. 630 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 2: It's even worse when it comes from your mom. Sorry mom, 631 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 2: just kidding. I was just kidding. 632 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 5: Your mom is like a show. 633 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've mentioned it before. She has given me tips 634 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 2: since she has told me. You know what, I didn't 635 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: agree with that point, but She's never said that show stunk. 636 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 2: Get a new hosts in there. She's never said that. 637 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 4: It's never been one of those I disagree and you're 638 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 4: a sad excuse for a human being. 639 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 5: She hasn't taken it to that level. 640 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: Has not said get Bernie Fratto in that chair. She 641 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 2: has not said that yet. Right yet, maybe you shall say, 642 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 2: get Manzy Bolanos in that chair. Maybe maybe Manzy that 643 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 2: could be the case. Monty is here to give us 644 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 2: the latest of what is going on, what's happened in 645 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 2: Monty on what. 646 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 10: Sorry, I'm trying to watch the Clipper game and trying 647 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 10: to give an update and trying to comment on what 648 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 10: you just said about Lebron James Brian, Hi, guys, you 649 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 10: know I would be fine if people were what would 650 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 10: you call them?

So that's the only thing I 657 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 10: think is different. But the Clippers have extended their lead 658 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 10: over the Timberwolves in Minnesota, eighty two seventy eight is 659 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 10: a score less than five minutes to go in the game. 660 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 10: Kawhi Leonard twenty seven points, Anthony Edwards twenty five points. 661 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 10: The Celtics Warriors game has been over since halftime, but 662 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 10: it's still going and Boston is on top one twenty 663 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 10: eight to eighty one, four. 664 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 11: And a half minutes left in the game. None of 665 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 11: the starters are in. 666 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 10: But Steph Curry took nine three pointers and didn't make 667 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 10: a single one. He only made two shots from the field, 668 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 10: so yeah, I know, zero. 669 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 8: Of nine zers. 670 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 3: Threek is there like a game streaker? 671 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 11: Did he remember? He broke like he lost it. He 672 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 11: was on a streak for a long time. 673 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 10: And then he went a game without hitting a three 674 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 10: pointer and so that big, big long streak he. 675 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: Had it tweeted you saw Steph Curry. 676 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 11: Exactly what happened earlier. 677 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 10: Today, Luka Doncic dropped a triple double, but the MAVs 678 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 10: lost at home to the seventy six ers one twenty 679 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 10: to one sixteen. 680 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 11: Caitlin Clark dropped thirty five points today. 681 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 10: She became the Steve Steve Hartman hates this, but became 682 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 10: the men and Women's all time NC double A leading 683 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 10: score as number six Iowa defeated number two Ohio State 684 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 10: ninety eight or ninety three excuse me to eighty three. 685 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 10: On Fox, we got the NASCAR Cup Series still coming 686 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 10: from Las Vegas. We're officially in stage two and after 687 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 10: one hundred and forty two laps, Kyle Larson is in 688 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 10: the lead, with Kyle Busch right behind him and Denny Hamlin. 689 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 11: In third place. 690 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 10: So far, in the NFL, the Miami Dolphins are likely 691 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 10: unlikely to use a franchise tag on defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. 692 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 10: It would make him an unrestricted free agent, and the 693 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 10: NFL Network reports that the new kickoff rule crafted by 694 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 10: NFL Special teams coordinators would allow teams to attempt an 695 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 10: onside kick only when trailing in the fourth quarter, and 696 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 10: it would require them to declare it in advance. 697 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 3: H So do I declare bankrun like Michael Scott? 698 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 11: Michael, Oh God, so good, that's so good, thanks to you. 699 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 4: No surprise onside like Sean Payton in the Super Bowl. 700 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 5: We can't do that. 701 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 3: These rules are so fun declare. 702 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 2: These rules are so funky that I thought about adding 703 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 2: them to our show list. It would take up a 704 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: whole segment just to be like if the that, but 705 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: this than that. 706 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a mess. 707 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 2: It's it's they're gonna be more confusing than the overtime 708 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: rules in the playoffs. 709 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 8: Why they move up to the forty yard line is 710 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 8: what I want to know. 711 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 3: Like, they don't want thirty Yeah, they don't. 712 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: They don't, Well, they don't want it would be the 713 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 2: opposing It would be up the thirty yards. You'd be 714 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 2: in plus territory. They don't want a thirty or twenty 715 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 2: yard head start. They only want five or six yards downfield. 716 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 2: That's all they want. So you would be across the 717 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 2: fifty yard line under this new proposal. 718 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 9: The whole thing about the XFL kickoff is they had 719 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 9: solved it. They had figured out how to make it interesting, 720 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 9: to take away a lot of the injuries from it. 721 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 9: And now the NFL is like, we want that, but 722 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 9: also we want touchbacks. 723 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 5: Still. I don't it's weird, you know, I don't hate 724 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 5: the XFL rule. 725 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 4: We only had twenty two percent of kickoffs that were 726 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 4: returned last year in the NFL twenty two percent. 727 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 5: It was a touchback fest. 728 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 4: So if you give us the XFL rule, Like you're 729 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 4: explaining Dan and you actually get kickoff returns. I'd rather 730 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 4: have that than what seventy eight percent being touchbacks. 731 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,959 Speaker 5: That's just not a good product at all. 732 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 2: It's just confusing to figure out because some would go 733 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 2: back to the to the twenty, some would be to 734 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 2: the thirty five. So it just, oh kay, that's silly. 735 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 2: That part is layers upon layers. What is in silly 736 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 2: is what Monzi has to say. 737 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 3: She's got. 738 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 2: According to Monzi plus, has one part of the NFL 739 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 2: completely eaten up.

He's incredible. 773 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 5: I see it. 774 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 10: He's got raw talent. But is he ready to be 775 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 10: the face of a franchise. 776 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 5: That's a big. 777 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 10: Responsibility that requires a lot of maturity, and it's like 778 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 10: being in a relationship where the most important things are 779 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 10: communication and trust. His communication has not been the best. 780 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 10: After losing to UCLA, he refused to speak to the media. 781 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 10: I hate that he refused to shake hands with Utah. 782 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 10: He's at the Combine, not participating because he says there's 783 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 10: plenty of tape for people to watch, and he refuses 784 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 10: to do the medical examinations with the team. It's believed 785 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 10: by CBS Sports that he's the first player at the 786 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 10: Combine who's been invited to decline medical exams. 787 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 11: He doesn't have an agent. 788 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 10: Maybe that's why he thinks it's okay, but it's hard 789 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 10: not to see it as entitlement. It's reported that he 790 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 10: has made over ten million dollars in nil money. He's 791 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 10: been described again as a generational talent, So maybe he's entitled. 792 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 10: But how's it going to fit in a locker room 793 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 10: full of men, some of which we had had to 794 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 10: work incredibly hard to make a small percentage of what 795 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 10: he already made as a college player. I don't think 796 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 10: the attention that the media has given him is helping 797 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 10: him either, because the expectation is almost too high, Like 798 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 10: will this game his game translate to the NFL? If 799 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 10: he is surrounded by a better team, because that's what 800 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 10: the expectation is. 801 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,959 Speaker 11: But is he gonna have a chance to actually learn 802 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 11: and grow? 803 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 10: Does he have the maturity a guy who painted f 804 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 10: utah on his nails to be the face of a 805 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 10: franchise and become a team player. 806 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 11: I don't know. 807 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 3: Maybe the S stand for fabulous Utah. 808 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, sure, that doesn't fit on his fingernails. 809 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 2: I listen, if you're not shaking hands, if you're not 810 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 2: doing the press conference, that's one thing. But in this 811 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 2: whole about to be a pro process, you have to 812 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 2: do what you think is best for you to make sure, 813 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 2: especially because of where he is. 814 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 3: I have no problem with any of that stuff. 815 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 4: According to Monsei, I just want to know if Bob 816 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 4: Benson is shooting daggers in your direction right now. According 817 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 4: to Monci, Gilbert Arenas is proof that not everyone needs 818 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 4: a podcast. 819 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. 820 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,240 Speaker 10: I know, this guy thinks that because you're European players 821 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 10: don't bring guns into locker rooms, it means they're soft. No, no, no, 822 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 10: that's not the reason the defense has gone down in 823 00:37:58,840 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 10: the NBA. 824 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 11: But this has been going on for years. 825 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 10: He actually said that NBA took away aggression to open 826 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 10: up the euro. 827 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 11: League, and that's not it at all. 828 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 10: Luka Doncich said that the NBA you could score a 829 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 10: lot more easily than in the. 830 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 11: EuroLeague because of the roles in this space. 831 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,240 Speaker 10: In two thousand and one, the NBA added the defensive 832 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 10: three second rule and essentially took out zone defense because 833 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 10: a defender can't stand in the pain and wait for 834 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 10: you to drive. You have to be actively defending someone 835 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 10: and be within an arm's length of an offensive player. 836 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 11: The NBA has been shifting the league to. 837 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 10: Score more for years because it's more exciting, or so 838 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 10: they thought. Rookie starvik thro One Banyama said at the 839 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 10: start of the season NBA is faster, but the EuroLeague 840 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 10: is more physical. 841 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 11: The top two defensive players in the NBA are French. 842 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 10: The EVYB discussion the last couple of years has been 843 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 10: surrounded by non American players. He also said that it's 844 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 10: a three point shooting league because they're they're copying eurostyle 845 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 10: when EuroLeague prioritizes teamwork and fundamentals over shooting the ball. 846 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 10: I don't know if Gilbert Arenas has ever heard of 847 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,479 Speaker 10: Steph Curry or the twenty eighteen Houston Rockets who missed 848 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 10: twenty seven consecutive threes. 849 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 11: And thank you to Gee More or Thieves from Spain 850 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 11: who posted a chart of nineteen. 851 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 10: Players who have shot four hundred plus threes this season, 852 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 10: only three are European. 853 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 2: No, no, it's them hating that they didn't play in 854 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 2: that in this generation. 855 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 3: That's all it is. 856 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 11: It's stupid. 857 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 12: Well according to Manzi, all right, according to Manzi, if 858 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 12: it doesn't have marin aara sauce on it, then it 859 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 12: is not pizza. 860 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 10: I don't know it needs to hear this, but pizza 861 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 10: mus have three things, some sort of bread, marinara, and cheese. 862 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 11: That's it.

Caleb Williams, 926 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 4: on and on and on mock drafts. Here's my mock 927 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,399 Speaker 4: draft two point. 928 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 5: Oho. 929 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 4: You know, it's all about the draft, and meanwhile, free 930 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 4: agency is just about a week away. The draft is 931 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 4: like seven weeks away roughly, right, And isn't it funny 932 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 4: where we're just so draft, draft, draft, draft, and not 933 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 4: as much about free agency. We'll get into it when 934 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 4: it rolls around, but only being a week out. Think 935 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 4: about how that rivals being a week away from the 936 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 4: NFL draft. Dan, that's all you're gonna hear, That's all 937 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 4: you're gonna be talking about for the most part, and 938 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 4: free agency just doesn't rival that. So I don't know, 939 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 4: it's not quite I was thinking about where the draft 940 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 4: is a little bit like the college football playoff, or 941 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 4: we're just all right, what's gonna happen in Washington, Texas? 942 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,720 Speaker 4: We're all in and the non college football playoff bowl 943 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 4: games were like, Eh, that's just how it feels right 944 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 4: now with free agency, doesn't it. 945 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really weird because I don't think and heck, 946 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 2: we were just talking about college football, and if you're 947 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 2: just tuning in for the first time, Brian a huge 948 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 2: college football fan, Me a huge college football fan. I 949 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 2: don't think that we and I have no interest in 950 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 2: the combine. There's no connection to college football fans in 951 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 2: the NFL combine. 952 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 3: I don't believe, like. 953 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 2: I don't think you tune into the combine because you 954 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 2: love college football, and so I've always just tried to 955 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 2: figure out, then, what is it about the combine? And 956 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 2: so when you bring this point up about us being 957 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 2: so wrapped up in the mock drafts and the what 958 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 2: guys running the forties and into what guys bench press 959 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 2: and who said this, and that we're taking completely unknown 960 00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 2: you know, quantities of these players, we have no idea 961 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 2: really who they are outside of a few of them. 962 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 2: Whereas free agency we have Kirk Cousins, you have Baker Mayfield, 963 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 2: you have Mike Evans, you have Justin Fields on the 964 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 2: trading block, Guys that we know about guys that we 965 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 2: are very very familiar with that we watch weekend and 966 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 2: week out, that we had on our fantasy teams. And 967 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 2: I don't know the answer. And that's the crazy thing 968 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 2: about it is, I don't think that the combine is great. 969 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 2: I am not a Combine fan. Yet it feeds into 970 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 2: the craze of the NFL Draft, and I don't know 971 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 2: if it's the show. I don't know if it's the 972 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 2: drama and the presentation. I don't understand it myself. I 973 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 2: know sometimes free agency doesn't live up to the billing. 974 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 2: Maybe a guy just resigns with the team and he 975 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 2: was the biggest fish that there was. But still like, 976 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 2: there is more familiarity with the players who are available 977 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 2: bouncing between teams than there is in anything from the 978 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 2: Combine or these players coming to the pros. Yet we 979 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 2: love that one hundred times more than the Combine. 980 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's something where for the most part, 981 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 4: the unknown in the NFL is way more interesting than 982 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 4: the known. And there are exceptions. If some for some reason, 983 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 4: the Chiefs were trading Patrick Mahomes, that's the known, there'd 984 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 4: be a lot that was said about that, there would 985 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 4: be a lot of intrigue. But as far as like 986 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 4: Mike Evans, he's put up numbers for a decade with 987 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:24,439 Speaker 4: Tampa and. 988 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 5: It's like, Eh, where's he gonna go? Eh, we'll see, right, 989 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 5: But who's gonna take Roma Dounze? Right? 990 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,359 Speaker 4: Is it Maleak Neighbors or is it another receiver that's 991 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 4: gonna go first? 992 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 5: Overall? Is it Marvin Harrison Junior? Is that the right play? 993 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,240 Speaker 4: Like all that stuff, the unknown, for the most part, 994 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 4: I think is more intriguing. And when you talk about 995 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 4: the draft, that's the ultimate puzzle to try to put together. 996 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 4: And it's like we all become many gms and say 997 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 4: this team should do this and they shouldn't do that, 998 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 4: and they're out of their minds. 999 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 5: If they do this. 1000 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 4: And I think that we go back and look at 1001 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 4: past drafts and say, man, the Bears could have drafted 1002 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 4: Mahomes instead of Mitch Trubisky. 1003 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:05,720 Speaker 5: What were they thinking? 1004 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 4: You know, It's just it grows and grows and grows, 1005 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 4: and the popularity of college football feeds into that because 1006 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 4: you are familiar with the top end guys. 1007 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there are things that are true, like the 1008 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 2: the hit rate and free agency I think is a 1009 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 2: lot less than it is in the draft. But that's 1010 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 2: not what makes the draft exciting. Like when we talk 1011 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 2: about like free agency in terms of like those players 1012 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 2: truly working out, there are a lot of teams that 1013 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 2: just will wait for teams with a lot of cap 1014 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 2: space to go and spend money, and then they'll dive 1015 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 2: into the pool a week later to see what's left 1016 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 2: to see if there's anything of value or a of 1017 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 2: a bargain there. And that's you know, like the Seahawks 1018 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 2: are my favorite team, and that's kind of been their 1019 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 2: way that they've operated throughout free agency most of John 1020 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 2: Schneider's tenures. So maybe maybe that's a part of it, 1021 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 2: maybe because I just know that, hey, this opening a 1022 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 2: free agency subconsciously is not gonna be anything that the 1023 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 2: Seahawks are gonna go after. They're not gonna be you know, 1024 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 2: talking with Mike Evans or bringing in Kirk Cousins. You know, 1025 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 2: maybe in a weird way, maybe all of a sudden 1026 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 2: they're trying to talk with the Bears about justin fields. 1027 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 2: But I'm only bringing up hypothetical situations that would get 1028 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 2: me interested in this. But there they are sitting at sixteen, 1029 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 2: Brian and I'm like, okay, do you trade back? You 1030 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 2: don't have a second because you know you did the 1031 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 2: trade with the Giants to get Leonard Williams. Where do 1032 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 2: you do you? Can you get the tackle or guard 1033 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 2: that you're looking in the middle of the draft. Can 1034 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 2: you get a number one next year to set up better? 1035 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,879 Speaker 2: Those are all scenarios that I'm looking at. So maybe 1036 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 2: I'm as we're doing this exercise and talking it out, 1037 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 2: maybe I'm realizing on why it is more important to 1038 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 2: what you said. It's the unknown of what could happen. 1039 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,920 Speaker 5: That's really what it is. 1040 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 4: And with all this soon to be rookies, we're just 1041 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 4: trying to figure out who's gonna do what. You know, like, 1042 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 4: there's an interesting guy with You're gonna bring him up 1043 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 4: with JJ McCarthy, the Michigan quarterback, and where does he go? 1044 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,360 Speaker 4: Does he go higher than expected? Does he go higher 1045 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 4: than most people have him on their big boards? Just 1046 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 4: because the supply and demand aspect of quarterbacks, it's really 1047 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 4: interesting how all of that fits together. And I don't know, 1048 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 4: maybe it's a wrong thing, but there's something about new 1049 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,839 Speaker 4: that seems to be more interesting. And when these are 1050 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 4: about to be all rookies in the NFL when they 1051 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 4: get drafted, where they get drafted, who reaches, who does 1052 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,319 Speaker 4: what in the draft. There's just far more intrigue in 1053 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 4: that sure than NFL free agency. And some of these 1054 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,760 Speaker 4: bigger names in free agency they could make a way 1055 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 4: bigger impact, but there's just not as much intrigue building 1056 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,280 Speaker 4: up to that moment than there is the draft. 1057 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 5: We're talking more draft right now, and it's in late April. 1058 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 4: Free agency is like a week away, and we're like, eh, yeah. 1059 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,959 Speaker 2: Right, it's got like, you know, we've had a Reggie White, 1060 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 2: We've had Drew Brees, We've had you know, some of them. 1061 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 2: But there's there's not the big fish that we normally 1062 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 2: think and and even of someone's stature, if they're if 1063 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 2: they're good enough, usually they're not hitting free agency, so 1064 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 2: there is a cap. I mean, Kirk Cousins is a 1065 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 2: free agent and could be for a lot of reasons, 1066 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 2: but a top level depending on where your level is 1067 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 2: NFL quarterback. But he's coming off also off of an 1068 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 2: Achilles injury. Yeah, you know, and you're wonder, okay, if 1069 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 2: there's no Achilles and the Vikings continue to do what 1070 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 2: they do, is there more of a question do they 1071 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,919 Speaker 2: still want to bring them along? Like we're talking even 1072 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 2: damaged goods, you know, in that sort of factor of 1073 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 2: the top level free agency guys. Mike Evans seems to 1074 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 2: have been in the league for you know, twenty years. 1075 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 2: How many you know, how many good years are you 1076 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,359 Speaker 2: going to get for Mike Evans if he, you know, 1077 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 2: continues to play in it, maybe two or three, but 1078 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 2: it's not a fifteen year career that you drafted in 1079 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four draft. 1080 00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that our attitude toward veterans is oftentimes 1081 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 4: like I've already seen that movie. For instance, if you 1082 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 4: think of the Falcons Dan you brought him up. I 1083 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 4: think Kirk Cousins going over there with the numbers he's 1084 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 4: put up, the experience he has, mixed with all those 1085 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 4: top ten offensive players, right, top ten draft picks, with 1086 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 4: Jehan Robinson and Kyle Pitts, Drake London. To match all 1087 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 4: of that with Kirk Cousins, it's like, Okay, what's this 1088 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 4: gonna look like? 1089 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,399 Speaker 5: I would look at it like that, but. 1090 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 4: I think for the most part, it's like, Oh, Kirk Cousins, 1091 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 4: what's that gonna do. Meanwhile, if they drafted the unknown, 1092 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 4: they waited around. Maybe in the second round they got 1093 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 4: Michael Pennix Junior, there'd be way more build up for 1094 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 4: what's Penis Junior gonna do with all these guys compared 1095 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,799 Speaker 4: to Kirk Cousins, who's put up numbers for years. I 1096 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,640 Speaker 4: think we're just like I've seen that Kirk Cousins movie before. 1097 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,800 Speaker 4: I don't agree with it, but I think that's typically 1098 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 4: how it goes. 1099 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,760 Speaker 2: I you mentioned JJ McCarthy earlier, and the only reason 1100 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,759 Speaker 2: that I you know, bring him up, and I'm glad 1101 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 2: that you did, was you just mentioned Michael Pennix there. 1102 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 2: And I feel like there was at one point that 1103 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,799 Speaker 2: we thought Penix was going to maybe be a mid 1104 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 2: first round pick, and now it surely seems like he'll 1105 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,360 Speaker 2: be a second day guy, second round pick, maybe sneaks 1106 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 2: up at the end of the first round. But I 1107 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 2: just I don't see him being a first round pick. 1108 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:21,320 Speaker 2: Where JJ McCarthy is. I mean, we're now hearing rumors 1109 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,479 Speaker 2: of a top ten possibility. Yeah, and to the point, 1110 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,720 Speaker 2: you know, Monzie talked about it in According to Monzie, 1111 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 2: you know, game tape matters at some point. You know, 1112 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 2: there were times where Jim Harbaugh did not want to 1113 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,279 Speaker 2: put the ball in the hands of JJ McCarthy and 1114 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 2: relied on his running game to win football games. And 1115 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 2: it's amazing to me to see what McCarthy did in 1116 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 2: college and what Penix did in college and to see 1117 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 2: now their draft stocks kind of completely going in opposite ways. 1118 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 2: You know, Pennix maybe wasn't as big as he was 1119 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,879 Speaker 2: listening in college and McCarthy seemingly added some weight over 1120 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,879 Speaker 2: these next couple of months. But to see the rise 1121 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,439 Speaker 2: of JJ McCarthy to be like a top ten guy, 1122 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,440 Speaker 2: it's just to me, I understand the whole process. So 1123 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,359 Speaker 2: it's not like I don't get it, but in a way, 1124 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,319 Speaker 2: I'm also like I don't get it. 1125 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:11,760 Speaker 3: I don't understand how this happens. 1126 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 2: It was funny when Jamison Williams was at Alabama, he 1127 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 2: you know Tori's ACL. Remember he couldn't break through against 1128 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,879 Speaker 2: Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson in the Ohio State depth chart, 1129 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 2: which forced him to transfer to Alabama. And so he 1130 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 2: transfers to Alabama and then tears his ACL and people 1131 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 2: are putting them ahead of Garrett Wilson and Chris A. 1132 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,439 Speaker 2: Lave and I understand that we're talking about panning out 1133 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 2: into an NFL career, but at some point what you 1134 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 2: did in college and you know, has to matter at 1135 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,880 Speaker 2: some point. And that's where I just I don't know 1136 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 2: if Michael Pennit's is going to be a great pro 1137 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 2: I have no idea. But there was nothing in the 1138 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 2: college portion of what JJ McCarthy was doing that tells me, yep, 1139 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 2: I'm sold on this guy, and there's this late push 1140 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,760 Speaker 2: for him. Now all of a sudden, maybe a top 1141 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 2: ten guy could be the fourth quarterback off the board. 1142 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be honest with you, I think McCarthy he's 1143 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:03,560 Speaker 4: a tricky of value because I hear you where it's 1144 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,280 Speaker 4: not like he did jaw dropping things in college, because 1145 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 4: like you said, they relied on that running game, They're 1146 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,720 Speaker 4: relied on their defense. They didn't even throw a pass 1147 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 4: in the second half against Penn State, you know. 1148 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 5: And so I initially think like that where. 1149 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 4: It's like, we're really gonna go with McCarthy in the 1150 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,800 Speaker 4: top ten, what are we doing here? But then I pause, 1151 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 4: and I think, just because they didn't ask him to 1152 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,280 Speaker 4: do it doesn't mean. 1153 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:27,520 Speaker 5: He can't do it, you know. 1154 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 4: And this is a tricky comp because I'm not saying 1155 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 4: he's the next Justin Herbert, but I felt very similarly 1156 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,560 Speaker 4: to Justin Herbert when he was at Oregon and Mario 1157 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:44,399 Speaker 4: Christabaul was over there. Very conservative. They they'd run the ball, 1158 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 4: run it, run it. I don't know, Okay, we're losing, 1159 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 4: all right, go ahead, throw it. 1160 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:49,440 Speaker 3: Herbert. 1161 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 4: You know, he put up good numbers, but they weren't 1162 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 4: just jaw dropping. WHOA this guy is gonna be a megastar. 1163 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,719 Speaker 4: I watched all of his games. I did radio in 1164 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,760 Speaker 4: the there in Portland. We talked about Justin Herbert like crazy, 1165 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 4: and I'm like, he's all right, but they don't ask 1166 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 4: him to do a ton. And then he got to 1167 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 4: the NFL and it was like, wo wow, this guy 1168 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,719 Speaker 4: does have the goods. So I don't know that McCarthy 1169 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 4: is gonna be like that. 1170 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:18,839 Speaker 5: I just know that. 1171 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's dangerous when a team doesn't ask their quarterback 1172 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,439 Speaker 4: in college to do a ton. You start thinking, well, 1173 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,240 Speaker 4: that's because he can't, and it's like, well not really. 1174 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 4: They're just they ran the ball and played great defense 1175 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:32,800 Speaker 4: and that was their formula. 1176 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 5: So he's a tricky evaluation. 1177 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,839 Speaker 4: I haven't seen anything that jumps off and I'm like, 1178 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 4: oh man, I love this dude. I think he could 1179 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 4: do work in the NFL. Because it was a lot 1180 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 4: of one read, two reads. There wasn't anything great about 1181 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,760 Speaker 4: his progressions. But he's an athletic guy. It's pretty accurate 1182 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 4: and could he surprise a lot of people when he's 1183 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 4: asked to do more. 1184 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 2: It is possible he'll be a top eight pick. The 1185 00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 2: way that things are going, And that's not my confidence 1186 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 2: in him. I like confidence in them. It's how these 1187 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,880 Speaker 2: things end up going. Yeah, you know, like this is 1188 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 2: the hype is going to build and somebody's gonna end 1189 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 2: up falling in love with him. 1190 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 3: He's Brian No. I'm Dan Byer. 1191 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,839 Speaker 2: It is Fox Sports Sunday Live from thee Tiraq dot 1192 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 2: Com studios. Coming up next, we'll talk with our NFL 1193 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,319 Speaker 2: insider Adam Kaplan and who made the big strides at 1194 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 2: the combine and yeah, who is going to get in 1195 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 2: on this justin fields topic. We'll all talk about it 1196 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 2: next year on Fox Sports Sunday. Fox Sports Sunday, I'm 1197 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 2: Dan Byer. He's Brian No. Trucker Joe tweeted in kind 1198 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 2: of agreeing with my JJ McCarthy sentiments. You tried to 1199 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 2: compare him to mac Jones, but essentially it goes back 1200 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 2: to your point, Brian, of the unknown is kind of 1201 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,800 Speaker 2: what you want in the NFL. It feels like the 1202 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 2: potential is what you're drafting instead of maybe the known 1203 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 2: commodity of what you got with a Michael Pennix. And 1204 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,120 Speaker 2: I use the example of Garrett Wilson and Chris o'lave 1205 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 2: who were NFL ready receivers when they were still at 1206 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,719 Speaker 2: Ohio State, and Jamison Williams was getting just as much hype, 1207 00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 2: you know, as those guys were when they were entering 1208 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 2: the draft because of the what could be and he 1209 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 2: was coming off of an ACL injury. You know, in 1210 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,320 Speaker 2: that scenario, it is the A lot of the times, 1211 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,799 Speaker 2: it's of what you know just isn't as appealing of 1212 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:11,400 Speaker 2: what you don't know. 1213 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is, and you know, I wonder, man, 1214 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 4: we'll get into it. When you think about wide receivers, 1215 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 4: I know it's not gonna become like the running back position, 1216 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,320 Speaker 4: but if you think about this, Dan, think how deep 1217 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 4: the wide receiver draft is this year where it's got 1218 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 4: a lot of depth. If you think about a receiver 1219 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 4: like Mike Evans, who's been fantastic for ten years. Like, 1220 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 4: you have a real decision to make. Would you rather 1221 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 4: make Mike Evans a big offer or would you rather 1222 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,400 Speaker 4: draft a wide receiver that might be the fourth prospect, 1223 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 4: maybe the fifth prospect. 1224 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,239 Speaker 5: You might be better off doing that. 1225 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 4: And I know it's not gonna be the same as 1226 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 4: a running back, like Dobey a running back. 1227 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 5: Just draft a running back. Everything's gonna be fine. 1228 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 4: But you like, in certain instances with wide receivers, we're 1229 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,839 Speaker 4: just automatatically like, oh, he's worth it, throw money at him, 1230 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 4: don't even think about it. We haven't changed our thinking. 1231 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 4: If there's a deep wide receiver class, you might be 1232 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 4: better off going the cheaper route in the long run. 1233 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 2: Let's ask our NFL insider about Mike Evans and where 1234 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 2: he could be headed, and a whole lot more. You 1235 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 2: can read them on the Pro Football Network and here 1236 00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,600 Speaker 2: on the Inside the Birds podcast, and here I'm right 1237 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,360 Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. Adam Kaplan joins this. So 1238 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 2: free agency is about a week away. Hello, Adam, what 1239 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 2: is the likelihood of Mike Evans maybe finding greener pastures elsewhere? 1240 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 13: They're trying the bucks want and back. He definitely is 1241 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 13: interested in coming back, but his agent, Derek Gilmore, is 1242 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,919 Speaker 13: able to kind of gauge the interest out there being 1243 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 13: in Indianapolis this week, and that's what's what agents do. 1244 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,200 Speaker 13: He's been around a long time. He's had Mike since 1245 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 13: Mike's drafted I F TEXA and M in twenty thirteen. 1246 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 13: So they'll get a pretty good idea of what his 1247 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,440 Speaker 13: market will be. It should be fairly robust. Now I 1248 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 13: heard you, guys before I came on here. It is 1249 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 13: I mean, by Mike count I've got nine to ten 1250 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 13: receivers going off within the first sixty four picks. That's 1251 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 13: a lot, but that is really and they ran them 1252 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 13: all that by the way, they ran well on that 1253 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,680 Speaker 13: fast turf at the A. 1254 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,560 Speaker 5: Lukes Oil Stadium. It's a very deep and diverse group. 1255 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 13: You want taller guys, you could find that, you want 1256 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:11,960 Speaker 13: fast guys, you can find that, you want possessed receivers. 1257 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 5: You could find that. It's a very good group. 1258 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 4: What do you think building off that cap A couple 1259 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,720 Speaker 4: of teams, specifically the Dolphins with Jalen Waddle, the Eagles 1260 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,720 Speaker 4: with Devonte Smith. Those guys are in line for contract extensions. 1261 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 4: They already have Tyreek Hill and AJ Brown. What do 1262 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 4: you think about those teams paying a second receiver big money. 1263 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,600 Speaker 13: Yeah, So this is the problem Brian with Cincinnati and why, 1264 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 13: as I understand it, they decided to tag. They didn't 1265 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 13: even try to extend the contract of T Higgins because 1266 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 13: they know over the next two years, I mean, they 1267 00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 13: don't have to, but most likely they're probably going to 1268 00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 13: do that. They're going to extend Jamar Chase's contract. He's 1269 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,520 Speaker 13: eligible now for a contract extension down he's played three years. 1270 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:56,720 Speaker 13: There's really been no example of a team paying top dollar, 1271 00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 13: top five dollars two receivers. 1272 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 5: It's never happened before. I could remember. 1273 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 13: This is my twenty fifth year of covering the NFL, 1274 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 13: and you're right to point that out. Now, the Dolphins 1275 00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 13: don't have to do anything again, Wattle, like Chase is 1276 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 13: only in its fourth season, he's only on his fourth year, 1277 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 13: and then they have the fifth year option, which they'd 1278 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,520 Speaker 13: pick up if they don't extend. They got two tags, 1279 00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,560 Speaker 13: so they don't have to do anything. They're now the Eagles, 1280 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,600 Speaker 13: I would tell you, I would be stunned if they 1281 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 13: don't extend DeVante Smith's contract. Why this is just kind 1282 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 13: of their mo They're the one team in the Nacial Football 1283 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,600 Speaker 13: like does not wait once they're eligible to extend. 1284 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 5: They get this done because they see where the money's going. 1285 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 13: Tyre Kill that the highest paid at receiver in the 1286 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,960 Speaker 13: history of the game at thirty million a season. He's 1287 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 13: not gonna get that DeVante Smith, but it won't be 1288 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,160 Speaker 13: too much less. And then the Eagles, as you mentioned 1289 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 13: with AJ Brown, one nugget here for you with AJ 1290 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 13: Brown's contract and why this could be his last year 1291 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 13: with the team. His salary cop number goes to a 1292 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,080 Speaker 13: twelve point five million to just over twenty six million 1293 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 13: next season, and his salary that's not guaranteed in twenty 1294 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,280 Speaker 13: five is fifteen point twenty five So this could very 1295 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 13: well be his last season as an Eagle. 1296 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 2: Adam Kaplin joining us here on Fox Sports Sunday. Are 1297 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 2: we any closer to finding out where Justin Fields will 1298 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:08,960 Speaker 2: play next year? 1299 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:09,360 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1300 01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 13: In my report Friday, which I put out on a 1301 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 13: sports grid, which I know a lot of people have 1302 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 13: asking abouts, I'll just address it. So what I said 1303 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 13: was that I don't see him going to Atlanta. I said, 1304 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 13: you never say never, but Let's not forget Zach Robinson, 1305 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 13: the new offensive coordinator with the Falcons. He is running 1306 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,240 Speaker 13: a true West Coast offense. This is the same one 1307 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 13: Shanahan McVeigh or running. Mcveigh's a little different than Shanahan 1308 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 13: Shanahan's this really old school. But Zach Robinson's running a 1309 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 13: timing based offense, so that is not a good fit 1310 01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 13: for Justin Fields. Again, I never say never, you know, 1311 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 13: the Falcons have a decision to make I feel more 1312 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 13: than Kirk Cousins would be a fit. Though the Vikings 1313 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:46,920 Speaker 13: want to be him back and he wants to be back. 1314 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 13: Kirk Cousins will be much better fit for Zach Robinson's 1315 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 13: offense by the way he has played in a West 1316 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 13: Coast scheme before. 1317 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 4: How about the quarterback domino's cap where the Falcons and 1318 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 4: all teams. Is Kirk Cousins the first domino to fall? 1319 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,720 Speaker 4: And then you think, well, if we don't get him, 1320 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 4: maybe Baker, maybe Field. Is it Kirk Cousins the first 1321 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 4: guy we got to figure out what's going on with him? 1322 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 5: I don't think there's much of a mystery. 1323 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,320 Speaker 13: It's certainly not a Lockdady returns to Minnesota, but he 1324 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 13: wants to be back. Talking to Vikings, they definitely want 1325 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,640 Speaker 13: him back. It's kind of harder for him because he's 1326 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 13: turning thirty six and August coming off off of a 1327 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,320 Speaker 13: devastating injury at torn Achilles. Now he did play great 1328 01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 13: ballot before he got hurt, and then Baker would be 1329 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 13: a team for Atlanta if they cannot if the Bucks 1330 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 13: somehow don't get him back. Now, both sides want to 1331 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,400 Speaker 13: do business with each other. It is a great story. 1332 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 13: One year four million was upside, which is what he 1333 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,440 Speaker 13: signed for last season. Want to bargain. But after that, 1334 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 13: it's they're all backup, folks. They're all backups. It's if 1335 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 13: you don't get one of these two guys, you're looking 1336 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 13: toward the draft, that's what you'll do. 1337 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan joining us here on Fox Sports Sunday. He's 1338 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 2: Brian Noah, I'm Dan Byer. So what do you make 1339 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 2: about this JJ McCarthy hype that Brian and I were 1340 01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 2: just talking about seeing now possible top ten position for 1341 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,840 Speaker 2: the Michigan quarterback after what took place at the combine. 1342 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,919 Speaker 3: Where does the Michigan product And all. 1343 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 13: Right, so it's funny you mentioned this so last night 1344 01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 13: I had dinner with some scouting people in Indianapolis and. 1345 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:11,560 Speaker 5: I brought this. 1346 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 13: I actually brought him up because they did not talk 1347 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 13: about him, and these guys aren't all covering the same area. 1348 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 13: So I said, hey, do you guys think you'll go 1349 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 13: in the first round. The three guys agreed and b 1350 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,720 Speaker 13: where do you think he goes? One guy said, look, 1351 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 13: I don't have a first round great on him, but 1352 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 13: I know he's going to go in the first round 1353 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:32,560 Speaker 13: because this is what happens. Quarterbacks get pushed up. I'd 1354 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,160 Speaker 13: say top twenty. Now the knock on him is now 1355 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,520 Speaker 13: I know he put weight on. There was a concern 1356 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 13: that he'd be around the two undred pounds. He put 1357 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 13: on some mass to his body. 1358 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 5: That's good. 1359 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 13: That certainly makes people feel better who aer than the 1360 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:52,040 Speaker 13: scouting world. But overall, you don't see him with great anticipation, 1361 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 13: great timing. Sometimes that's what his tape shows. I was 1362 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 13: told by someone in scouting. You like his elusiveness. He 1363 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:02,200 Speaker 13: can move, he can run a little bit. He's not small. 1364 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 13: I mean, he's got some length to him. But you 1365 01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,440 Speaker 13: want to see how he reacts to certain things. At 1366 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,200 Speaker 13: the next level. There are some questions whether he'd be 1367 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 13: ready or one to start, No doubt about it. That 1368 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 13: that's something else that was brought up to me because 1369 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 13: you don't see a ton of him under pressure. That's 1370 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,440 Speaker 13: the issue that some scouts had with bo Nicks, the 1371 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 13: argon quarterback. He should go somewhere between twenty and thirty two. 1372 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,960 Speaker 13: But you do struggle going through tape and seeing him 1373 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 13: through under pressure. 1374 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 4: How about the Chargers cap where you look at their 1375 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,040 Speaker 4: four guys that are going to count a lot against 1376 01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 4: the salary cap in Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, Keenan Allen, 1377 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 4: Mike Williams. What do you think is the best approach 1378 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 4: to maybe keeping a couple, maybe moving on. 1379 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,680 Speaker 5: From a couple. What do you think they should do 1380 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 5: to approach this the. 1381 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 13: Right Yeah, hard to believe they'll keep all four. I'd 1382 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 13: be very surprised. Now there's a segment the National Footballague. Look, 1383 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 13: if you want to keep a player, going to. 1384 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 5: Keep a player? 1385 01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 13: Now, Khalil Mack still showed he had a can still play. 1386 01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 5: He just turned thirty three. You never went to wait 1387 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 5: till it's too late. 1388 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,959 Speaker 13: This is, by the way, Max last year of his deal, 1389 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,720 Speaker 13: his salary cap numbers over thirty eight million, which is 1390 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:11,680 Speaker 13: a quarterback number. 1391 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:13,880 Speaker 5: You've got a new. 1392 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,680 Speaker 13: General manager, got a new head coach, new offense, defensive schemes. 1393 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,960 Speaker 5: Someone's gonna have to go here. I can't see it. 1394 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,600 Speaker 13: And by the way, Mike Williams nobod. They haven't made 1395 01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,440 Speaker 13: a decision on what they're going to do with these contracts. 1396 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 13: Mike Williams is coming up back from attorney ACL. His 1397 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,920 Speaker 13: salary cap number due to the restructure last September is 1398 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,840 Speaker 13: over thirty two million. You mentioned Keenan Allen who just 1399 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 13: cannot get healthy. He's also in the last year of 1400 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,640 Speaker 13: his deal, salary cap number for thirty four million. I 1401 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 13: wrote this for Profible Network to start last season that 1402 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,360 Speaker 13: it's hard to imagine both those guys would be back 1403 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:49,760 Speaker 13: in here we are and we don't know Williams of 1404 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 13: Terror's ACL, so I'd imagine one, if not two, of 1405 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,280 Speaker 13: these guys will go. And here's the other problem. Because 1406 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 13: most of these guys are not on a contract for 1407 01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 13: next season. It's hard to restructure because you're fading voidable 1408 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 13: years and more cap problems down the line. They're in 1409 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,600 Speaker 13: a tough way here. It's going to be it's gonna 1410 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:06,919 Speaker 13: be hard for them to get through all. 1411 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 3: This before we let you go. 1412 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,480 Speaker 2: And I know it's a tough day for a lot 1413 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,680 Speaker 2: of people around the NFL, the passing of Chris Mortenson. 1414 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 2: Obviously you spent time at ESPN, have been in this 1415 01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 2: insider game for decades. 1416 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:21,960 Speaker 3: What can you tell us about Chris Mortenson after? 1417 01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 5: I'm so glad you brought this up. This has been 1418 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:24,160 Speaker 5: a tough day. 1419 01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 13: I found out about it, you know, three or four 1420 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 13: hours ago, and it stopped me in my tracks. So 1421 01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 13: I told more at this when we worked together, we 1422 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 13: worked closely for two years before his illness. I told 1423 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 13: him that he was the inspiration for my career, that 1424 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,400 Speaker 13: that is something. 1425 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,000 Speaker 5: I'd been without him. 1426 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 13: And as a reporter, I remember where I was in 1427 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,720 Speaker 13: nineteen ninety eight, if we're not at a fancy football convention, 1428 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,600 Speaker 13: and I asked him this question, could you find out 1429 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,520 Speaker 13: what's going with Georgy Levins's contract? And it called ron 1430 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 13: Wolf and I picked this cell phone up and I'm like, 1431 01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 13: I can't believe this is that? 1432 01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:57,320 Speaker 5: Like I was like mesmerized. 1433 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,480 Speaker 13: Yeah, And I told him that we laughed about it 1434 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 13: and he's a special guy. The other thing that I 1435 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 13: love about him is He's sent. 1436 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:07,480 Speaker 5: You a really nice note. 1437 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 13: And I know we've seen people on social media, reporters 1438 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 13: in our business, you know, put this out. I'm probably 1439 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 13: gonna do something tomorrow mine. Yeah, my story's gonna be 1440 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 13: a little different. But he would always send encouragement like 1441 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 13: out of the blue sometimes and I'm I'm sad that 1442 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,720 Speaker 13: I do not have touch be in touch with him. 1443 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 5: In recent months. 1444 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 13: That's you know, obviously disappointing, but special human being and 1445 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,200 Speaker 13: again the number one inspiration in my career that this 1446 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 13: is not even close and no like Will McDonough, the 1447 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 13: late Will McDonough was another guy that I saw growing up, 1448 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 13: but to no more just to love him. 1449 01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 5: I'm telling you, the guy was a special human being. 1450 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 2: He's Adam Gaplan our Fox Sports Radio NFL. N's had 1451 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 2: our great words on the passing of Chris Morten's in 1452 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 2: earlier today. Adam, thanks so much.

It'll never 1567 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 2: be nine and a half. That's asking too much, but 1568 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 2: a feel you'll do pretty well in this one. 1569 01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:31,840 Speaker 3: All right? 1570 01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:36,040 Speaker 2: Good name one of two, Brian, of the NBA's all 1571 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 2: time highest scoring leaders that never played a game in 1572 01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 2: a Lakers uniform.

So, uh, we take Lebron off the list. 1575 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,639 Speaker 4: We take Kareem off the list, we take Karl Malone 1576 01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 4: off the list, and we take Kobe off the list. 1577 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 4: So we've got mj final answer. 1578 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,400 Speaker 2: All right, show me Michael Jordan. Yes, there he is 1579 01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:12,639 Speaker 2: number five, thirty and ninety two points. Derk Novitski also 1580 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,000 Speaker 2: would have been an acceptable answer, But then after that 1581 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,680 Speaker 2: you had Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neal, and then if we 1582 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,600 Speaker 2: wanted to extend it, Kevin Durant would have been the 1583 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,519 Speaker 2: third Carmelo Anthony played for the Lakers. So yeah, seven 1584 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,559 Speaker 2: of the top ten have worn a Lakers' uniform. Brian, 1585 01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 2: know you were easy? Yeah, you are often running. Let's 1586 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,200 Speaker 2: go question number two. It's my all time favorite question 1587 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 2: of easy as one, two, three, four. It's been used before, 1588 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,479 Speaker 2: but we bring it back today. Uh oh, name two 1589 01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 2: of three NFL teams that have never had the first 1590 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:43,599 Speaker 2: overall pick in an NFL draft? 1591 01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 5: Baby two? Okay, two of three. I might need a 1592 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:50,160 Speaker 5: lifeline for this. 1593 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 4: My initial thought is the Ravens because they haven't been 1594 01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:00,679 Speaker 4: around for that long. I don't I don't know. I'd 1595 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 4: have to workshop that one. If they've had the number 1596 01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,799 Speaker 4: one overall pick. I'm gonna workshop this with Bo Benson 1597 01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:13,960 Speaker 4: lifeline number one. Here, I could go team by team 1598 01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:20,120 Speaker 4: in nauseating fashion, and it would take forever for us 1599 01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:25,360 Speaker 4: to do that. But I'm thinking Baltimore, you thinking anybody 1600 01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 4: in particular Bo? 1601 01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 12: Baltimore sounds right, But I don't know if they were 1602 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 12: treated as like an expansion franchise and given a top pick, 1603 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:34,040 Speaker 12: I don't know if they. 1604 01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:34,840 Speaker 5: Were, I don't know. 1605 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,400 Speaker 12: I would think the Steelers have never been bad enough 1606 01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:42,160 Speaker 12: to be picking first overall, but that might be wrong too. Look, 1607 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:43,839 Speaker 12: thinking about some of the guys that played. 1608 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:48,000 Speaker 5: There, I don't know, because these teams that go back forever. 1609 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm worried about and the Steelers were bad for 1610 01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 4: a long time, so I don't know they could be 1611 01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:56,040 Speaker 4: on the list. 1612 01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 5: I'm not sure. 1613 01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:58,559 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's that's wow. 1614 01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:04,040 Speaker 2: This is my favorite question. I love this all right, Brian, 1615 01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,200 Speaker 2: Now are you are you ready to give a final answer? 1616 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:07,519 Speaker 2: Do you want to use a different lifeline? 1617 01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,960 Speaker 5: I thought Bo was going to chime in with you, Okay, yeah, Well, if. 1618 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:12,960 Speaker 12: Dan loves this question, then maybe the Seahawks are one 1619 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:13,479 Speaker 12: of the answers. 1620 01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,840 Speaker 5: You know, it's not a bad thought. 1621 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:20,720 Speaker 4: Let's go, and they haven't been around as long as 1622 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 4: the Steelers and some of these other teams. Right, so 1623 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:29,240 Speaker 4: we'll go Dan Ravens Seahawks. Final answer, All right, show 1624 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:33,160 Speaker 4: me the Baltimore Ravens. They did not get the opportunity 1625 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 4: to be the first overall because everybody moved over. They 1626 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,679 Speaker 4: were an expansion franchise, but not in the normal sense. 1627 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,160 Speaker 4: He got that one, correct. Show me the Seattle Seahawks. 1628 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 5: Yes, that is. 1629 01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 3: The other team to not have a number one. 1630 01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:54,200 Speaker 2: Pick first overall, the Denver Broncos, Denver Wow, Pittsburgh Terry 1631 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:58,080 Speaker 2: Bradshaw first overall. And so uh that's a way back 1632 01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:00,080 Speaker 2: in the way back machine. The Seahawks could I have 1633 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,040 Speaker 2: had number one in the first draft, but instead that 1634 01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:06,479 Speaker 2: went to Tampa Bay. They also drafted Rick Myra in 1635 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:10,360 Speaker 2: the early nineties at number two, but never number one overall. 1636 01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,519 Speaker 4: All right, shout out Irish, huh, Irish and Seahawks. It's 1637 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,080 Speaker 4: like you and me just combined forces. I don't know 1638 01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 4: if we can really bond over Rick Myra. You had 1639 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 4: a much better time with him than I did. 1640 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 3: That's true. I saw him at the Super Bowl. By 1641 01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:23,439 Speaker 3: the way, I walked past them. 1642 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:25,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, ah, Rick Meira, all right, yo, Noah's three 1643 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,800 Speaker 2: for three on the verge right now, on track for 1644 01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 2: a second straight perfect game.

Let's jump ahead to question number three in 1656 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,240 Speaker 2: our game of easy as one, two three four, where 1657 01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,000 Speaker 2: Brian has two lifelines left. Chris Prophet or technical producer 1658 01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 2: in Manzi Blanio's at the news desk, all right to 1659 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,160 Speaker 2: you ready, I am ready.

Name three of four 1661 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,519 Speaker 2: Brian schools that made the women's Final four last season 1662 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:23,439 Speaker 2: in college basketball. Okay, again, these aren't out here to 1663 01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:24,400 Speaker 2: trick you like there's a. 1664 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,719 Speaker 3: There's a path that you can usually find to an answer. 1665 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:35,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I definitely remember LSU and Angel Reese talking 1666 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,040 Speaker 4: trash to Caitlin Clark and Iowa. So we've got LSU 1667 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,880 Speaker 4: and IOWA, and I'm gonna have to use a lifeline for. 1668 01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 5: One of the other two teams. 1669 01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:46,880 Speaker 3: He's nodding her head. 1670 01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:50,240 Speaker 4: Okay, that seems like a good sign.

Tirec dot com 1745 01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be. We do talk about 1746 01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:54,880 Speaker 2: the NBA and just as we see the Celtics just 1747 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 2: completely dismantle the Warriors today from the get go the final, 1748 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,920 Speaker 2: as you heard Manci say, one forty to eighty eight. 1749 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,920 Speaker 2: Does a game like that change your mind at all 1750 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:09,000 Speaker 2: on the Celtics fortunes or the Warriors fortunes when it 1751 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:12,880 Speaker 2: comes to the to the upcoming NBA playoffs? Does does 1752 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,240 Speaker 2: that move the needle for you with either team, Brian, 1753 01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,200 Speaker 2: when you see an outcome like that today. 1754 01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:22,320 Speaker 4: Not really, it doesn't do much because we know the 1755 01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,320 Speaker 4: Celtics are a fantastic team. They might win a championship 1756 01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 4: this season. So it doesn't change anything I thought about them. 1757 01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,719 Speaker 4: They're crushing teams. They've won their games by an average 1758 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:34,880 Speaker 4: of over ten points, and that's one of the best 1759 01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,599 Speaker 4: marks in the history of the NBA. You know, most 1760 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 4: teams that have won by an average of ten points 1761 01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,439 Speaker 4: going to win a championship. So it doesn't change how 1762 01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:45,439 Speaker 4: I feel about Boston. But Golden State had been playing 1763 01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,439 Speaker 4: really well on the road, and some people are like, hey, 1764 01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,360 Speaker 4: look look at the Warriors winning again on the road. 1765 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,599 Speaker 5: They've won like seven in a row on the road. 1766 01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,080 Speaker 4: So it's just a reminder of It's like Denzel said 1767 01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,559 Speaker 4: in training Day, that day is dead dog. 1768 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,560 Speaker 5: Don't roll like that no more. That's the Warriors. 1769 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 4: The Warriors are not gonna do anything of note when 1770 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:07,000 Speaker 4: the playoffs roll around. 1771 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 2: It's also crazy to think that the Damian Liller trade 1772 01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:14,000 Speaker 2: likely would determine an NBA champion, but it would be 1773 01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics because of the Bucks giving up Drew 1774 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 2: Holiday and Drew Holiday finding his way. And I'm not 1775 01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:21,880 Speaker 2: saying that Drew Holiday is the only piece, because obviously 1776 01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,200 Speaker 2: Boston has been building made it to the finals two 1777 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,320 Speaker 2: years ago. But you add Porzingis, Derek Whites played well, 1778 01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,599 Speaker 2: and they sure seem to be a juggernaut. That's where 1779 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:33,240 Speaker 2: That's where I thought this sense was. That's the feel 1780 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 2: that I get on social media is that this was 1781 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,640 Speaker 2: Boston's statement, if there was a way to make a 1782 01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:42,439 Speaker 2: statement when they've already probably made statements throughout the first 1783 01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:46,040 Speaker 2: sixty games of the season, that this was the statement 1784 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,360 Speaker 2: game to do. So I will just say this, this 1785 01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,960 Speaker 2: is just the this is just the wet blanket or 1786 01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,960 Speaker 2: you know, the dark cloud on a sunny day. Just 1787 01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:57,960 Speaker 2: make sure you don't peak too soon. That's the only 1788 01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,720 Speaker 2: the only thing, right, Yeah, too soon. 1789 01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 4: And you know the other thing, Dan, I'll say it 1790 01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,720 Speaker 4: real fast, is you think about the Bucks. I think 1791 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,880 Speaker 4: they're an interesting case study, if you will. So I 1792 01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,120 Speaker 4: was very analytical. I don't mean to make it sound 1793 01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 4: like that, but they crashed and burned against the Miami Heat. 1794 01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:18,040 Speaker 4: They lost in the first round when they had the 1795 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,120 Speaker 4: best record in the East, and that was embarrassing. And 1796 01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 4: they changed all this stuff around. Right, They got rid 1797 01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:28,439 Speaker 4: of Bud, they got rid of Drew Holliday, they made 1798 01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:30,920 Speaker 4: the trade for Dame. And I get some of that 1799 01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,600 Speaker 4: because you got to keep Yannis happy. Gianness is like, 1800 01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 4: I'm here as long as you basically do things to 1801 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 4: make us title contenders every year. So that was conditional 1802 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,240 Speaker 4: love if you want, so, you got to keep you 1803 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 4: honest happy. I get that, But there's something to be 1804 01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 4: said for you don't have to just change and change 1805 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:50,760 Speaker 4: and change. Look at them now, are they any better? 1806 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 4: And I love Damian Lillard, but you mentioned Drew Holliday. 1807 01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,400 Speaker 4: Their problems are on the defensive end. Drew Holliday is 1808 01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:02,439 Speaker 4: a magnificent defensive Guardian Lillard is not. Are they any 1809 01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:06,840 Speaker 4: better with Adrian Griffin after Bud? No, they fired him. 1810 01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 4: Are they any better with Doc after Bud? I would 1811 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,680 Speaker 4: argue not. So it's one of these things. It's not 1812 01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,519 Speaker 4: sexy to say, Hey, let's run it back. Giannis was 1813 01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:16,760 Speaker 4: hurt for two and a half games in that first 1814 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,960 Speaker 4: round loss against Miami, who made it to the finals. 1815 01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,240 Speaker 5: Right, let's run it back, Let's retool a little bit. 1816 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,880 Speaker 4: We don't have to make massive changes it's not as 1817 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,439 Speaker 4: sexy to do that, but you might be better off 1818 01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,479 Speaker 4: running it back instead of making huge changes. 1819 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:32,519 Speaker 3: I don't think there was. 1820 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:35,519 Speaker 2: Any way that they thought that Drew Holliday would end 1821 01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:38,160 Speaker 2: up in a Celtics uniform. Yeah, you know, you know, 1822 01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 2: because when you think about like what that would set 1823 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:44,720 Speaker 2: up and lo and behold, that's what ended up playing out. 1824 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:46,960 Speaker 2: I do think they needed to make a change. Something 1825 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,040 Speaker 2: had to be done. You had to get better offensively, 1826 01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:50,400 Speaker 2: and this was a way for them to do it. 1827 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 2: It just came at the expense of Drew Holiday. And 1828 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 2: to your point, yeah, they're kind of looking for that. 1829 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,439 Speaker 2: You wonder if Patrick Beverly's going to provide that. I 1830 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,320 Speaker 2: joked last week on the Doc Rivers haters. The Bucks 1831 01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,439 Speaker 2: went two and zero out of the gate. They've won 1832 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,080 Speaker 2: their last five, granted the games against the Bulls. They 1833 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,439 Speaker 2: just beat the Hornets and back to back games. Now 1834 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,960 Speaker 2: it gets tougher for them. But again, the way Boston's going, 1835 01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:15,559 Speaker 2: whether it's the Bucks, the Cavs, or whoever, Boston's going 1836 01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:17,760 Speaker 2: to have have it on cruise control. And the other 1837 01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:19,599 Speaker 2: thing that we know about this time of year, Brian, 1838 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:22,000 Speaker 2: there are other teams that put it on cruise control 1839 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 2: that just want to end the season, yeah, and not 1840 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:27,320 Speaker 2: win games. So you will get a lot of ten 1841 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,240 Speaker 2: twelve game winning streaks from certain teams because there are 1842 01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,560 Speaker 2: teams that just don't want to compete anymore, and this 1843 01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 2: is where they mail it in. The Wizards have lost 1844 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,240 Speaker 2: fourteen in a row, so you know there's a team 1845 01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:41,000 Speaker 2: Memphis doesn't have much to play for. They've only lost 1846 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:42,400 Speaker 2: five in a row, but how much are they going 1847 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 2: to be locked in for the rest of the year. 1848 01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:46,599 Speaker 2: This is where you start seeing longer winning streaks because 1849 01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:48,160 Speaker 2: teams would rather lose than win games. 1850 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:49,599 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. 1851 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,800 Speaker 4: And I'm impressed by a couple of teams that could 1852 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,479 Speaker 4: be a little bit lethargic in the regular season. A 1853 01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:58,720 Speaker 4: team like Denver, they just won a championship and yet 1854 01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:00,880 Speaker 4: they're tied for the best record in the West. 1855 01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 5: They're forty two to nineteen. 1856 01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:05,960 Speaker 4: You know you think about That's why I'm skeptical about 1857 01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 4: a team like the Knicks, where I don't mean this 1858 01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:11,840 Speaker 4: as a negative, but they're a regular season, tryhard team, 1859 01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:15,080 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Like they are focused, they 1860 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:19,200 Speaker 4: bring the intensity every night. Tibbs has got him ready 1861 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:22,560 Speaker 4: and that's not a negative. It's just when the competition 1862 01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:26,320 Speaker 4: ramps it up in the postseason and they're meeting your level, 1863 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:28,599 Speaker 4: is there a drop off with the Knicks? 1864 01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,679 Speaker 5: So I can't wait for the playoffs. Man, it's gonna 1865 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:31,200 Speaker 5: be really interesting. 1866 01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Sixer's got a big win today against the Mavericks 1867 01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 2: doing so and Tyree Smacksy had to miss a little 1868 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:37,720 Speaker 2: of it and they didn't really even need him in 1869 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 2: the second half. But that's a good win. And there's 1870 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,760 Speaker 2: hope that Joel Embiid could come back at the end 1871 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:43,559 Speaker 2: of March. So a lot of NBA to talk about, 1872 01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:45,799 Speaker 2: But why not look ahead to the NBA Draft because 1873 01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:50,519 Speaker 2: that's where Lebron James enters The conversation entered it when 1874 01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:54,280 Speaker 2: the tweet was sent out that ESPN was removing Bronnie 1875 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 2: James from their twenty twenty four mock draft. They included 1876 01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:59,439 Speaker 2: him as a second round pick in the twenty twenty 1877 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,759 Speaker 2: five draft, and then Lebron came out with his tweet 1878 01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 2: supporting Bronnie and what it was all about, contradicting everything 1879 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:07,880 Speaker 2: that he had done over the last you know. 1880 01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:08,800 Speaker 3: Four or five months. 1881 01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:12,000 Speaker 2: We are able to move this story a little bit 1882 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:15,559 Speaker 2: ahead because of what Adrian Ward Genarowski said last night 1883 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,960 Speaker 2: prior to the Lakers Nuggets game that aired on ABC 1884 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,799 Speaker 2: about Bronnie James's future and how his future in college 1885 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,519 Speaker 2: basketball may not be as long as some thing. This 1886 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:27,680 Speaker 2: was wojan last night's broadcast. 1887 01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:31,280 Speaker 5: Only I talked to Rich Paul CEO clut Sports. Obviously 1888 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:32,479 Speaker 5: lebron james agent. 1889 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 14: He will also be Bronnie James's representative, and a couple 1890 01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 14: of things they're really gonna look at when they make 1891 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,919 Speaker 14: a decision about leaving school or returning for a sophomore 1892 01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:44,000 Speaker 14: year at USC. 1893 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,880 Speaker 3: Number one, Rich Paul and Lebron James. Bronnie James will 1894 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:49,440 Speaker 3: be far less interested. 1895 01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:51,720 Speaker 15: In how high he will be picked, but is the 1896 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:56,880 Speaker 15: right team interested, the right developmental situation for him, perhaps 1897 01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:58,280 Speaker 15: later on in the first round. 1898 01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:00,760 Speaker 3: But here's one thing that will consideration. 1899 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,680 Speaker 15: I was called by Rich Paul the idea that he 1900 01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:07,360 Speaker 15: needs to play with Lebron James, be on the same roster, 1901 01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,720 Speaker 15: play with him on the Lakers. That is, as Rich 1902 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 15: Paul said to me, if it organically happened, Lebron would 1903 01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:14,639 Speaker 15: be head over. 1904 01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:18,759 Speaker 16: Feels excited to play with Bronni. But in Rich Paul's words, 1905 01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,479 Speaker 16: Lebron wants Bronni to be his own man, and so 1906 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,880 Speaker 16: it'll certainly be something as we get further into the spring, 1907 01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 16: and he's got a decision to make, you know, they'll 1908 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,240 Speaker 16: have time to get a real sense of where they 1909 01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 16: stand in the NBA. 1910 01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:34,960 Speaker 5: From this twenty twenty four draft. 1911 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,640 Speaker 2: What a bunch of bs. And I'm not saying that 1912 01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:40,920 Speaker 2: Woj is full of bs, it's just the stuff that's 1913 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:42,040 Speaker 2: being being. 1914 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:42,599 Speaker 3: Fed to him. 1915 01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:47,479 Speaker 2: This is this Lebron playing with Bronni dream is still 1916 01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 2: alive and well, and they can deny it and they 1917 01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:51,760 Speaker 2: can do what they want. But that whole conversation of 1918 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,000 Speaker 2: what Woj was just saying that he had with Rich 1919 01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:58,479 Speaker 2: Paul just tells you, like, it's never mattered on how 1920 01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 2: good Bronni is, whether it be in a mock draft, 1921 01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,880 Speaker 2: whether it be how we watch him play at USC 1922 01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 2: or what he was like coming out of Sierra Canyon. 1923 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,640 Speaker 2: It's just all been the fact of how does this 1924 01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:13,640 Speaker 2: work in the James Gang plan of things? And the 1925 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,920 Speaker 2: thing that shocked me about it, how many times, Brian, 1926 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 2: do we have guys who are second round picks being 1927 01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:23,439 Speaker 2: like I I'm thinking about going pro but I want 1928 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:24,760 Speaker 2: to I want to make sure that I find the 1929 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:28,760 Speaker 2: right fit for me with a draft pick. Well, how 1930 01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 2: the heck do you know who's going to draft deal? 1931 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:32,479 Speaker 5: Exactly right, that's my whole thing. 1932 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like this statement is I don't this is 1933 01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:38,559 Speaker 4: from Rich Paul, you know, Brownie's agent. I don't value 1934 01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 4: a young player getting into the lottery as much as 1935 01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,439 Speaker 4: I do getting him on the right team in the 1936 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:48,320 Speaker 4: right developmental situation. That was the statement that you read, Dan, 1937 01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:52,680 Speaker 4: And it's like, this isn't usc you can pick what 1938 01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:54,000 Speaker 4: college you want to go to. 1939 01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,120 Speaker 5: You can't pick like, let's say I don't know for. 1940 01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,719 Speaker 4: The sake argument, the Orlando Magic are on the clock, 1941 01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:02,200 Speaker 4: and for whatever reason, you're like, no, no, no, that's 1942 01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 4: not a great developmental situation for Bronnie. Well, if they 1943 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:07,880 Speaker 4: pick you, that's where you're going. Yeah, that's just how 1944 01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:11,680 Speaker 4: it's the draft, which is this idea, Yeah, of like 1945 01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:14,880 Speaker 4: you got to be in the right developmental situation. Yeah, 1946 01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 4: if it just happens to fall that way and it 1947 01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:20,120 Speaker 4: works out, great, You have no control over. 1948 01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,719 Speaker 2: That, which tells me that there's got to be something 1949 01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:27,400 Speaker 2: in the works with some NBA team. And then when 1950 01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:29,559 Speaker 2: you think about that, we'll like what NBA team, Well, 1951 01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 2: there's not many to choose from, Like when we think 1952 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:37,240 Speaker 2: of like great NBA developmental teams to come into mind, 1953 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:40,519 Speaker 2: the Heat and the Spurs, Okay, like that, Like that 1954 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,760 Speaker 2: would be like you would think, like, okay, under Greg 1955 01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:45,640 Speaker 2: Popovich's wing, what could he do? Do you think that 1956 01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,400 Speaker 2: they really want to do Lebron a favor? 1957 01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:48,760 Speaker 3: No, I don't think. 1958 01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,240 Speaker 2: I think it would be tampering almost if you're consulting 1959 01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,360 Speaker 2: in a way of, hey, draft my guy in the 1960 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:56,479 Speaker 2: second round so he can develop. Do you think the 1961 01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:58,760 Speaker 2: Miami he want to do Lebron a solid I'm sure 1962 01:30:58,760 --> 01:30:59,200 Speaker 2: I don't. 1963 01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:01,439 Speaker 5: Think pat Riley, it's that. 1964 01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,559 Speaker 3: Absolutely, not no way in heck. 1965 01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:06,759 Speaker 2: But you have the Lakers sitting there with a second 1966 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:09,360 Speaker 2: round pick, and then you had the caveat like, well, hey, 1967 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:12,120 Speaker 2: if things happen organically, so. 1968 01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:13,280 Speaker 3: Then this does set up. 1969 01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,519 Speaker 2: So then Lebron says, all right, Lakers take my son 1970 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:19,160 Speaker 2: in the second round, and then I don't have to 1971 01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 2: opt out of my contract, and then I'll be in 1972 01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:23,800 Speaker 2: LA and it's a second round pick and I get 1973 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:27,040 Speaker 2: to fulfill the dream of playing with my son. Like 1974 01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:31,640 Speaker 2: it it is such laying the groundwork of trying to 1975 01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:36,439 Speaker 2: play this all out. I don't ever ever remember this scenario, 1976 01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:38,840 Speaker 2: and I know Bronni is different, But if he has 1977 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,879 Speaker 2: developing to do in the transfer portal in college basketball, 1978 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,840 Speaker 2: maybe you would want to go and transfer to a 1979 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,280 Speaker 2: different school where you feel like that coach could develop 1980 01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:50,600 Speaker 2: you as a player. Right, not be drafted in the 1981 01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:54,040 Speaker 2: second round by some NBA team that you've already struck 1982 01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:57,000 Speaker 2: a side deal with Like that is just it's weird 1983 01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:59,639 Speaker 2: and it's odd, and there's just there's too many things 1984 01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:02,120 Speaker 2: to play that Lebron is saying, all right, Lakers, you're 1985 01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 2: gonna take him with a second round pick and we're 1986 01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:05,320 Speaker 2: gonna play together next season. 1987 01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:07,360 Speaker 3: Otherwise I may have different plans. 1988 01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:12,040 Speaker 4: I get dan that sometimes your tastes will change in 1989 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:15,640 Speaker 4: your lifetime. For instance, an odd example, but off the 1990 01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,200 Speaker 4: top of my head, I used to hate when there 1991 01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:22,639 Speaker 4: was mayonnaise on my BLTs. Okay, I used to scrape 1992 01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,400 Speaker 4: the mayonnaise off, like, oh, it's ruined the sandwich. After 1993 01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:27,840 Speaker 4: a while, I would forget to ask him to take 1994 01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:29,560 Speaker 4: it off, and I just got used to it, and 1995 01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:31,960 Speaker 4: it my taste changed and I'm okay with it. Now 1996 01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:36,560 Speaker 4: is that the same thing as Lebron who initially is like, 1997 01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:38,479 Speaker 4: I definitely want to play with Brony. 1998 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:39,960 Speaker 5: I think that would be the coolest thing. 1999 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:44,120 Speaker 4: And now his taste has changed to ah, you know, 2000 01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:46,400 Speaker 4: I want him to be his own man, but we 2001 01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:48,560 Speaker 4: don't necessarily have to play with each other, you know, 2002 01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,600 Speaker 4: on the same squad, right, Like, I just don't know 2003 01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:54,800 Speaker 4: what to make of that. Where is that what he 2004 01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,479 Speaker 4: truly feels or is this him coming to grips with 2005 01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,320 Speaker 4: I really don't have any set and if that happens 2006 01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:04,759 Speaker 4: or not, it's hard to know exactly what he truly 2007 01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:06,520 Speaker 4: feels about that whole situation. 2008 01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:11,360 Speaker 2: I think it's all bs. I think that he completely 2009 01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:13,280 Speaker 2: wants to play with Bronnie. He doesn't want to make 2010 01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 2: it seem by the way it is a very selfish thing. 2011 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:18,599 Speaker 2: Like we talk about Lebron wanting to play with Bronnie. 2012 01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:20,800 Speaker 2: Is that Bronni's dream to play a season in the 2013 01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:24,599 Speaker 2: NBA with his dad? Is anybody? Maybe somebody has asked him. 2014 01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:26,960 Speaker 2: I I don't know, but it always seems like this 2015 01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:29,720 Speaker 2: was Lebron's dream to be able to do that and 2016 01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:31,960 Speaker 2: be able to have that legacy. But I don't know, 2017 01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:34,240 Speaker 2: if anybody has said, hey, hey, Bronnie, do you actually 2018 01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 2: want to play a season with your pops in the NBA? 2019 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:38,840 Speaker 2: Would you like to kind of carve out your own 2020 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:41,960 Speaker 2: you know, your own way. It's just it's too odd 2021 01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:44,360 Speaker 2: and there were just too many things that there with 2022 01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:47,320 Speaker 2: the it's not it's not about like where he is, 2023 01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,960 Speaker 2: it's where he can grow. Like what then you're gonna 2024 01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,320 Speaker 2: now spend time in the G League? Is that what's 2025 01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:54,000 Speaker 2: gonna happen? And you're gonna go back and forth in 2026 01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:56,360 Speaker 2: the G League? Don't you think maybe another year in 2027 01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,560 Speaker 2: college would be better? You know, by the way, is 2028 01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:03,679 Speaker 2: finally for college, there's three finalists when he was choosing 2029 01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:07,080 Speaker 2: on where to go, where usc that he ultimately picked, 2030 01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:11,839 Speaker 2: you know, went out close to home. Ohio State obviously 2031 01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 2: the bronze connections with Ohio but they fired Chris Holtman 2032 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:17,800 Speaker 2: this season. And Oregon, and you'd have to think that 2033 01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:20,719 Speaker 2: there was some sort of Nike connection in what Oregon 2034 01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:24,040 Speaker 2: has done. But Oregon's in danger of not making the 2035 01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:28,919 Speaker 2: NCAA tournament like it wasn't It wasn't the you know, Yukon, Kentucky. 2036 01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:31,960 Speaker 2: You know, sort of like hey, that are bringing him in. 2037 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,320 Speaker 2: All of these had like weird, I don't know, not weird, 2038 01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:40,840 Speaker 2: but angles that weren't necessarily about becoming the greatest basketball player. 2039 01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 3: Right, you know, like like to go to Ohio State. 2040 01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:47,000 Speaker 2: There's obviously the connection of Lebron being from there and 2041 01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:51,360 Speaker 2: staying at USC, you know, backyard, you're back home, But 2042 01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:53,519 Speaker 2: in terms of like improving which makes which tells me 2043 01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,599 Speaker 2: another thing that there is it didn't matter on how 2044 01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,479 Speaker 2: good or how bad he was, that there is this 2045 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,480 Speaker 2: plan in place that somehow is going to be manipulated 2046 01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:05,040 Speaker 2: so those two can end up playing together. And I 2047 01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,679 Speaker 2: just think it's very selfish on Lebron's part for doing 2048 01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:10,360 Speaker 2: it and to try to And I think they're going 2049 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,519 Speaker 2: to pin it on the Lakers because the draft comes 2050 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:15,720 Speaker 2: before Lebron will make his decision on whether he wants 2051 01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:17,840 Speaker 2: to opt out of his contract. I mean, like, those 2052 01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:20,519 Speaker 2: are the things that we're gonna end up having to 2053 01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:23,160 Speaker 2: deal with in June. And it really puts the onus 2054 01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:25,880 Speaker 2: on LA to end up making that draft pick in 2055 01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:27,439 Speaker 2: the second round when it comes to it, if he 2056 01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:28,200 Speaker 2: ends up entering. 2057 01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes me think of a couple of things 2058 01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:34,920 Speaker 4: where the first thing is with Bronni suffering that cardiac arrest. 2059 01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:39,720 Speaker 4: You know, that was last July, and that sideline him 2060 01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:43,040 Speaker 4: for nearly five months, you know, So how big of 2061 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:47,000 Speaker 4: an impact has that had on his freshman season at USC. 2062 01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:50,280 Speaker 4: I think it has made a big impact as far 2063 01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:53,559 Speaker 4: as that goes. So, yeah, maybe going back to USC 2064 01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:56,880 Speaker 4: for another year would be better for his all around career. 2065 01:35:56,920 --> 01:36:00,200 Speaker 4: He's going to make that determination. The other one thing 2066 01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:05,360 Speaker 4: I think about is you think about Austin Rivers. He 2067 01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 4: was on ESPN probably about a month ago or so, 2068 01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:11,000 Speaker 4: and he was talking about he hopes that Bronni goes 2069 01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:14,160 Speaker 4: to a different team than his dad lebron because of 2070 01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 4: his experience. He said, when I was coached by my dad, 2071 01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:22,040 Speaker 4: Doc Rivers, it was not a great experience because of 2072 01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 4: everybody having everything to say about, Oh it's just because 2073 01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:27,639 Speaker 4: your dad, bah bah bah. He was like, it could 2074 01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,600 Speaker 4: be a rough situation for Bronni. So I don't know 2075 01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 4: what Bronni wants to do. I mean, to be fair, 2076 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,519 Speaker 4: he might be that would be really cool. I don't 2077 01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:38,599 Speaker 4: know where he stands on that whole thing. But if 2078 01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:42,759 Speaker 4: that's not his desire and he feels like Austin Rivers 2079 01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:45,599 Speaker 4: did when he was coached by his dad, Doc. 2080 01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:47,920 Speaker 5: That would be a rough spot to be in. 2081 01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,680 Speaker 4: I mean, like there are rougher spots to be in 2082 01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:54,000 Speaker 4: in life, but that's not an ideal situation if that's 2083 01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:55,320 Speaker 4: not what you want to sign up for. 2084 01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:58,920 Speaker 2: And again, Lebron's tweet that he deleted this past week 2085 01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,200 Speaker 2: online Monday was can y'all please just let the kid 2086 01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:06,559 Speaker 2: be a kid and enjoy college basketball? And this message 2087 01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:08,560 Speaker 2: is like, how soon can we get him out of 2088 01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:11,080 Speaker 2: college basketball and be drafted into the second round and 2089 01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:12,080 Speaker 2: progressed by a team? 2090 01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:12,639 Speaker 1: Right? 2091 01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:13,160 Speaker 5: That's right? 2092 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:17,000 Speaker 4: And that was in January where he said he could 2093 01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:20,639 Speaker 4: play for us right now, and it was like, wait 2094 01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:22,439 Speaker 4: a minute, so which is it. 2095 01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:24,960 Speaker 5: Are we just letting him be a kid? Or could 2096 01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,880 Speaker 5: he play for the Lakers right here, right now? 2097 01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:27,120 Speaker 4: Right? 2098 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:30,120 Speaker 2: That just doesn't add up the most popular second round 2099 01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:32,639 Speaker 2: pick that we've had in along. And again, I don't 2100 01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:35,040 Speaker 2: put one ounce. I'm so glad Browny James is healthy. 2101 01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,360 Speaker 2: I'm so glad that he's been able to resume his career. 2102 01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:40,479 Speaker 2: I just think he's been putting into an unbelievably tough spot. 2103 01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 5: But he has been. 2104 01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:45,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, he has, Like this is no Joe Schmoe, that's 2105 01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:48,200 Speaker 4: your dad. Lebron's the only guy to get to forty 2106 01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:51,880 Speaker 4: thousand points. That happened last night, and now you're you know, 2107 01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:54,920 Speaker 4: you're on the same squad. That's not that it'd be 2108 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:58,120 Speaker 4: like I think of Ken Griffy Junior and his dad, 2109 01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,320 Speaker 4: remember that when they were sitting on the bench together, 2110 01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:04,280 Speaker 4: and there's that old clip, like not in high def obviously, 2111 01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:06,320 Speaker 4: and it's like, wow, that was really cool. Yeah, the 2112 01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:09,160 Speaker 4: kid went on to be an all time great. Ken 2113 01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:13,960 Speaker 4: Griffy Senior was not an all time great, Lebron. Most 2114 01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,680 Speaker 4: people have him as the number two overall player in 2115 01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:19,120 Speaker 4: the history of the game, you know what I mean. 2116 01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:21,600 Speaker 4: So to be teammates with that guy, that's different than 2117 01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:22,599 Speaker 4: the Griffies for sure. 2118 01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2119 01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:26,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, because because Ken Griffy Junior earned his way up there, 2120 01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:29,320 Speaker 2: and it's not that Bronnie. You know, Bronnie wouldn't have 2121 01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:33,439 Speaker 2: probably earned this spot, you know for what for where 2122 01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 2: he is in his game right now, it just doesn't 2123 01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:38,320 Speaker 2: seem that it's that it's earned. A story that we 2124 01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:41,320 Speaker 2: will continue to follow, which, by the way, almost hijacked 2125 01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:44,040 Speaker 2: last night's Nuggets. Nobody's talking about the Nuggets beating the 2126 01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,240 Speaker 2: Lakers again and doing it like in normal fashion, like 2127 01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:48,719 Speaker 2: they did in the Western Conference Finals. 2128 01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:49,880 Speaker 3: We're talking about this, all right. 2129 01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:52,479 Speaker 2: He's Brian though, I'm Dan Bayer, hanging out on a 2130 01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:57,120 Speaker 2: Sunday Nixon Calves just getting underway.

Really, 2211 01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:30,120 Speaker 3: the Pete. 2212 01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:34,400 Speaker 2: Maravitch record, I never yeah, like I just I felt 2213 01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:36,840 Speaker 2: it was very manufactured. And one of the things that 2214 01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:40,200 Speaker 2: I loved about the Caitlyn Clark story was how organic 2215 01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:44,479 Speaker 2: it was, was of just you know, this, this transcendent player. 2216 01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:49,599 Speaker 2: I couldn't have told you at the start of the year, Brian, 2217 01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:52,800 Speaker 2: if the if the men's player or the women's player 2218 01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,080 Speaker 2: was the all time leading scorer in college basketball. I 2219 01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:58,920 Speaker 2: didn't know if it was Kelsey Plum, I didn't know 2220 01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:01,920 Speaker 2: if it was Pete Mayrav I wouldn't have known who 2221 01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:05,040 Speaker 2: had more points. So I know it was a mark 2222 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:08,560 Speaker 2: today but I just I just I felt like, you know, 2223 01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:11,600 Speaker 2: Manti used the squeezing of the orange. I felt like 2224 01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:14,360 Speaker 2: we squeezed a little bit too much out of this. 2225 01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:17,880 Speaker 2: It just didn't it didn't feel organic like the the 2226 01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:21,560 Speaker 2: all time record very organic for women's basketball. But I 2227 01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,400 Speaker 2: had never once compared what Pete Maravich did or what 2228 01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:26,320 Speaker 2: Kelsey Plum did, or what the men's game did to 2229 01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:28,880 Speaker 2: the women's game of who had the most of anything, 2230 01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,280 Speaker 2: And I just I felt that it was just it 2231 01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:32,120 Speaker 2: was a little extra. 2232 01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:34,640 Speaker 3: I didn't, I didn't, I wasn't. I watched it. 2233 01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:37,519 Speaker 2: I wanted to see she broke the record on technical 2234 01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:39,479 Speaker 2: free throws at the end of the first half. But yeah, 2235 01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,600 Speaker 2: it just to me was what's so great about it 2236 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 2: is how organic it was. And I thought that today 2237 01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,479 Speaker 2: was just a little manufactured. She broke the mark, yes, 2238 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:50,360 Speaker 2: but it wasn't one that I thought. And by the way, 2239 01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:52,840 Speaker 2: none of that's her fault. It's everything that goes around. 2240 01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:54,480 Speaker 2: And just felt that it was a little manufactured. 2241 01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:59,559 Speaker 5: Interesting.

Twenty thirty would be 2366 01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:36,200 Speaker 2: the season.

Well, we've got replacement refs in 2388 01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:39,400 Speaker 4: MLS right now. And a story that got some traction 2389 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,799 Speaker 4: here is one of the replacement refs was replaced because 2390 01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:48,240 Speaker 4: photos started showing up on social media of the guy 2391 01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:52,720 Speaker 4: wearing an Inner Miami jersey.

Is how it works, and I get that, 2395 01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:08,599 Speaker 4: I understand that, but if you think about it, Dan, 2396 01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:13,040 Speaker 4: you could still be a fan and be unbiased as 2397 01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:17,760 Speaker 4: a ref. It'd be like a sports radio talk show host, 2398 01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:20,000 Speaker 4: like we have our favorite teams, right, do you think 2399 01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:23,080 Speaker 4: that we can't be so biased talking about teams? 2400 01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:25,280 Speaker 2: Ever, I sometimes think that if you're a fan of 2401 01:51:25,360 --> 01:51:28,960 Speaker 2: a team, you're more critical of that team, then maybe 2402 01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:31,160 Speaker 2: you would be because you know them. If you're a 2403 01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:34,200 Speaker 2: half glass empty guy like I am, I sometimes feel 2404 01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:36,120 Speaker 2: like I'm more critical of my team than maybe I 2405 01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:38,240 Speaker 2: should be, or I always look at the things that 2406 01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:42,599 Speaker 2: could go wrong with them. However, in this instance, if 2407 01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:44,559 Speaker 2: you can directly help them, and by the way, they 2408 01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:46,439 Speaker 2: didn't need it. They won five to zerl, so they 2409 01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:48,680 Speaker 2: they maybe that was part of the plan. Maybe the 2410 01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:51,880 Speaker 2: other guy was also a fan, and this is part 2411 01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:55,360 Speaker 2: of their you know, they're their misdirection. But I don't 2412 01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:59,479 Speaker 2: know anyway, And listen, it's not like they're a new 2413 01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:02,639 Speaker 2: an old team right like where it was like, hey, 2414 01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:05,320 Speaker 2: ten years ago, I had a you know, I had 2415 01:52:05,360 --> 01:52:07,800 Speaker 2: a Steelers jersey when I was in college. Now I'm 2416 01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:11,160 Speaker 2: an NFL ref. You know, like still those optics would 2417 01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:15,280 Speaker 2: would not be good. But this is a newer team. Obviously, 2418 01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:18,559 Speaker 2: the flavor of more than the flavor of the month, 2419 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:23,560 Speaker 2: are inner Miami. Yeah, you just you would like to 2420 01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:25,320 Speaker 2: believe the guy, but there's no way that you could 2421 01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:27,080 Speaker 2: do it. Heck, we look, we look out where refs 2422 01:52:27,080 --> 01:52:30,519 Speaker 2: are born in the NFL, like or in college football back, 2423 01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:31,200 Speaker 2: oh the guy. 2424 01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:31,519 Speaker 5: Guess what? 2425 01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:34,160 Speaker 3: The guy was born in Upper Michigan. No wonder why 2426 01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:37,479 Speaker 3: the wolver calls. You know we do that. 2427 01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:42,759 Speaker 4: Remember the the no call in that Rams Saints NFC 2428 01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:46,400 Speaker 4: title game. I'll never forget. Heading into that game, Bill 2429 01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:50,120 Speaker 4: Vinovich was the lead ref and the Rams were zero 2430 01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:53,879 Speaker 4: to eight in his games, and there was a petition 2431 01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,479 Speaker 4: floating around. All these people are signing it for Bill 2432 01:52:56,600 --> 01:53:01,479 Speaker 4: Vinovic not to ref that game because the Rams were winless. 2433 01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:01,800 Speaker 16: Wow. 2434 01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:06,080 Speaker 4: And then there's the no call that benefits the Rams 2435 01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:08,439 Speaker 4: when all these people are like, get them out of there, 2436 01:53:08,479 --> 01:53:10,719 Speaker 4: we don't want the guy. So yeah, you can imagine 2437 01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:13,519 Speaker 4: how it would go if Bill Vinovich was like wearing 2438 01:53:13,680 --> 01:53:15,320 Speaker 4: a hood At shirt or something like. 2439 01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:16,719 Speaker 5: People would be going crazy. 2440 01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:19,679 Speaker 2: Oh that's I did not realize that set because usually 2441 01:53:19,680 --> 01:53:21,240 Speaker 2: like you would have that like we know that was 2442 01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:24,160 Speaker 2: Scott Foster, you know, like with the NBA and Chris 2443 01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:27,839 Speaker 2: Paul like, but those things like aren't easily researched. Sometimes 2444 01:53:27,920 --> 01:53:29,639 Speaker 2: it's like, you know, a guy like Jerome Boger would 2445 01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:32,240 Speaker 2: throw so many penalties, and if your team penalizes a lot, 2446 01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:33,360 Speaker 2: you're like, all right, I don't know, we're in for 2447 01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:36,400 Speaker 2: a long game. But to have the Bill Vinovich rams stat, 2448 01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:39,679 Speaker 2: I had no idea. That's news to me. That's pretty amazing. 2449 01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:42,320 Speaker 2: Well hey there, look see it didn't matter. But those 2450 01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:45,480 Speaker 2: are all star crews as well. So even the best misscalls, 2451 01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:47,479 Speaker 2: whether you're a fan or not, I will say this, 2452 01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:50,599 Speaker 2: the ref that made the call and the fail mary 2453 01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:51,320 Speaker 2: uh huh. 2454 01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,800 Speaker 3: True story. He became a. 2455 01:53:55,479 --> 01:53:58,640 Speaker 2: Insider of officiating for us at Fox Sports Radio, and 2456 01:53:58,760 --> 01:54:01,960 Speaker 2: no kidding, our producers no longer here off the bigger 2457 01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,880 Speaker 2: and better things, had this guy's number and would call 2458 01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:06,960 Speaker 2: him up and would be a guest on our shelves. 2459 01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:09,840 Speaker 3: Yes, the guy too. And as the Seahawks fan. 2460 01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:12,240 Speaker 2: By the way, I knew it was an interception, but 2461 01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:14,719 Speaker 2: I also knew, I go, these guys don't know the rules. 2462 01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:16,719 Speaker 2: There's no way that they're gonna call it. They're gonna 2463 01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:19,800 Speaker 2: say ty goes to the runner. Offense gets it. So 2464 01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:21,519 Speaker 2: like I felt like I knew right away that they 2465 01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:23,200 Speaker 2: were gonna win the game, and sure enough when they 2466 01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:26,599 Speaker 2: looked at each other like touchdown, Yeah, it was a touchdown. 2467 01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,880 Speaker 4: It was crazy because you had the two officials and 2468 01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:34,160 Speaker 4: they were each signaling different things. So I'm curious the 2469 01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:37,280 Speaker 4: guy that you had on the air, which signal was 2470 01:54:37,360 --> 01:54:37,840 Speaker 4: he going? 2471 01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,440 Speaker 3: He was the one that did that, that gave the touchdown. 2472 01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:41,320 Speaker 3: That was the one. 2473 01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:43,200 Speaker 2: Because then he made a career out of it, like you, 2474 01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:47,400 Speaker 2: he profited off, which, by the way, he should have 2475 01:54:47,560 --> 01:54:49,640 Speaker 2: because he wasn't gonna ref another game like this is 2476 01:54:49,720 --> 01:54:50,640 Speaker 2: your moment in the sun. 2477 01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:53,320 Speaker 3: Make you know, make what you can of it. 2478 01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:56,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, to have him come out as an expert 2479 01:54:56,480 --> 01:54:59,000 Speaker 2: of knowing the rules probably wasn't our best judgment. 2480 01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:01,880 Speaker 5: But hey, man, props to him. He parlaid that into 2481 01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:02,640 Speaker 5: something bigger. 2482 01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:04,040 Speaker 3: That's great. Oh he's probably no. 2483 01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:07,120 Speaker 2: I'm Dan Baierrier Alive from the TIREC dot Com Studios, 2484 01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:11,440 Speaker 2: wrapping up this edition of Fox Sports Sunday.

Speaking of X formerly known 2491 01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:33,600 Speaker 2: as Twitter, Johnny Manzel took to Twitter yesterday. 2492 01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:36,240 Speaker 3: Did you see He's got Reggie Bush's back? Brian? 2493 01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:39,920 Speaker 2: I did see this, Yeah, he tweeted quote, So this 2494 01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:42,560 Speaker 2: is Johnny Manziel. You can back a Brinks truck up 2495 01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:44,280 Speaker 2: to my house and I still will not attend the 2496 01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:48,800 Speaker 2: ceremony or do anything involved until Reggie's Heisman trophy is 2497 01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:52,080 Speaker 2: back where it rightfully belongs. This is about doing what's 2498 01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:55,760 Speaker 2: right for everyone involved. Reggie's play on the field inspired 2499 01:55:55,800 --> 01:55:58,200 Speaker 2: me to be the football player that I am. To 2500 01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:01,800 Speaker 2: the Heisman. Trust, I hope you understand my positioning. You 2501 01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:03,720 Speaker 2: know that I have nothing but love and respect for 2502 01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:07,160 Speaker 2: that trophy and the people associated with it. It changed 2503 01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:09,040 Speaker 2: my life for the better forever, and I will be 2504 01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,480 Speaker 2: eternally grateful for that until my last day on this earth. 2505 01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:15,120 Speaker 2: The bond of the brotherhood means more than anything else. 2506 01:56:15,520 --> 01:56:19,920 Speaker 2: That's truly what makes the fraternity so special. Peace and 2507 01:56:19,960 --> 01:56:21,280 Speaker 2: then he tagged Reggie Bush in it. 2508 01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:22,840 Speaker 5: A little piece at the end there. 2509 01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:27,120 Speaker 2: I just there a couple of things with this. For 2510 01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:31,160 Speaker 2: as great as I think that Johnny Manziel was as 2511 01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:34,960 Speaker 2: a college football player and the year that he won 2512 01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:39,320 Speaker 2: the Heisman Trophy, let's also be real the Heisman Trophy 2513 01:56:39,520 --> 01:56:43,400 Speaker 2: in reality does not need Johnny Manziel. It does not, 2514 01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:47,840 Speaker 2: and in fact, the Heisman Trophy probably didn't love it 2515 01:56:47,880 --> 01:56:50,800 Speaker 2: when Johnny Manziel was doing what he was doing throughout 2516 01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:54,240 Speaker 2: his NFL career or what he explained what he was 2517 01:56:54,280 --> 01:56:56,280 Speaker 2: doing now in his college career, I don't think that's 2518 01:56:56,640 --> 01:56:58,080 Speaker 2: representative of the Heisman. 2519 01:56:58,240 --> 01:56:59,360 Speaker 3: I also think that it. 2520 01:56:59,440 --> 01:57:02,160 Speaker 2: Is Johnny man trying to get out in front of 2521 01:57:02,240 --> 01:57:04,920 Speaker 2: something and it's something he doesn't stand up for Reggie Bush, 2522 01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:07,120 Speaker 2: and not that he doesn't want the Heisman, but they 2523 01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:08,880 Speaker 2: do think that there will be a time where Reggie 2524 01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:11,040 Speaker 2: Bush gets his Heisman back once we get all this 2525 01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:14,080 Speaker 2: nil stuff cleared up. And that's where I think it's 2526 01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:16,680 Speaker 2: also of the of the positioning of being out in 2527 01:57:16,720 --> 01:57:20,000 Speaker 2: front and taking the stand. But in reality, the Heisman 2528 01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:23,360 Speaker 2: Trophy is a great trophy. It doesn't need Johnny Manzel 2529 01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:26,880 Speaker 2: and I just find it's an interesting stand to take 2530 01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:29,480 Speaker 2: for something that likely will come back to Reggie Bush 2531 01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:29,960 Speaker 2: at least. 2532 01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:30,360 Speaker 3: At some point. 2533 01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:34,080 Speaker 4: It's gonna take a lot more than Johnny Manziel for 2534 01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:37,360 Speaker 4: Reggie to get his heisman back, you know, and explained 2535 01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:40,600 Speaker 4: some of the history there. When when Johnny Manziel has 2536 01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:44,280 Speaker 4: documented being on the take when he was at Texas 2537 01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:46,800 Speaker 4: A and M. You know, I don't know if that's 2538 01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:49,760 Speaker 4: the guy that you want taking a stand for it. 2539 01:57:50,880 --> 01:57:54,360 Speaker 4: Like listen, I think Reggie should have his heisman. He 2540 01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:57,360 Speaker 4: accepted improper benefits when he was at USC and in 2541 01:57:57,480 --> 01:57:59,000 Speaker 4: that day and age, it was a no no. 2542 01:57:59,480 --> 01:58:00,520 Speaker 5: So I think he should. 2543 01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:04,360 Speaker 4: But it's an interesting conversation, Dan, where some of it 2544 01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:08,680 Speaker 4: I think is Reggie Bush was speeding when the speed 2545 01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:12,680 Speaker 4: limit was at a different speed that time, You know 2546 01:58:12,720 --> 01:58:13,080 Speaker 4: what I mean. 2547 01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:14,600 Speaker 5: So let's say you're speeding. 2548 01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:17,960 Speaker 4: Let's say you're going eighty in a sixty mile per 2549 01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:21,520 Speaker 4: hour zone and you get a ticket.
