00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 3: Listen. I'm not trying to be completely negative, all right.

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: I know we were pretty critical of the NBA, but

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 4: I do feel like if you were trying to get

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 4: people amped up, there's probably a better Sound Garden song

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 4: than this. And it's not saying it's a bad song, okay.

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 4: I just think that there's some songs with, you know,

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 4: a little bit more high energy.

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 5: Hi, why do you always have to be critical us?

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 5: Why can't you just accept it for what it is.

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 5: It's a good song.

20
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 4: I agree it's a great song, but I just think,

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: you know, there's certain songs that hit in this timeslot,

22
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: and then there's other songs that you just want to

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: listen to. While you're you know, like you're in the

24
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 4: woods with a thirty pack and a sod Off by yourself.

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: Okay, you know that's that that would be.

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 5: Thanks, thanks for taking it there.

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: I just think I just think that there's you know,

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: certain things that apply to certain situations.

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: But you know is what it is.

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 5: It is.

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: It is two pros and a cup of Joe.

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: Here on Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you.

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: No, LeVar Arrington. Uh, he is not here.

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 6: Leave.

35
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 4: Arrington will not be here today, he will not be

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: here tomorrow, and he will not be here Friday.

37
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: Man, look at what I'm doing them.

38
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: So if you if you tuned into this show to

39
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: hear LeVar over the next three days, he basically told

40
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: you to kiss his ass.

41
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: I hope, hope you're aware of that.

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: And kisses as whatever else you want I point to.

43
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 5: Have you ever heard this story? Do you know about

44
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 5: this from the whole Long Island University basketball program and

45
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 5: they celebration everything else. Have you heard this story yet?

46
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: Now?

47
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 5: So, there were two avid college basketball fans who they

48
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 5: just wanted to follow up a pathetic fan base team

49
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 5: and they wanted to try to start up like a tradition,

50
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 5: and so what has become now like a viral thing

51
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 5: with these these two guys that stated, I guess across

52
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 5: the court from each other while the other teams shooting

53
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 5: free throws, they yell fins up and they put up

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 5: their fins. The Long Island University is the Sharks. But

55
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 5: when you show the first video, it's just one guy

56
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 5: by himself, like down by the free throw line, and

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 5: then three other dudes all the way across the court

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 5: and what was deemed to be in the student section.

59
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 5: And this has now become kind of a trend, which

60
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 5: Long Island University I believe just played the NAC Championship

61
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 5: recently or last night. I think they've lost, but still

62
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 5: they've actually built up a fan It's become somewhat of

63
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 5: a trend. They've got a little bit height behind the program.

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 5: So it's pretty neat to see a grow. But also

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: just two avid college basketball fans, which really just means

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 5: they're they're huge gamblers because they all are involved in

67
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: March Madness. But that's how it all got started.

68
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: So I'm looking up the Long Island University Sharks. They're

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 4: in the Northeast Conference. Whatever the hell that is located

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: in Brooklyn. Yeah, it's twenty four and ten this year. Yeah,

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: all right, good for them first in the Northeast.

72
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 6: All right.

73
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: Good, so at least now they've seen it through and

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: now they're seeing some success there.

75
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: That's good. That's a feel good story. So good for

76
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: those guys. That's awesome.

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: By the way, here's something else that's awesome. Your former

78
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: teammate Gino Smith back with the Jets, just like he

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: was thirteen years ago when you were also with the Jets.

80
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: Geno Smith is now a member of the New York

81
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: Jets yet again. The Jets are acquiring Smith in a

82
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: trade from the Las Vegas Raiders. We're assuming that he's

83
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 4: passed his physical. You never know what these Raiders. They're

84
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: a real tricky bunch. But he has arrived to the

85
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 4: Jets in exchange for a twenty twenty six sixth round pick.

86
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: The Raiders will also be sending a twenty twenty sixth

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 4: seventh round pick in the trade. I can already tell

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: you right now that seventh round pick probably going to

89
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: end up in the bottom ten mock draft that I'll

90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: be doing coming up next month here on the show.

91
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: But Geno Smith back to New York, back with the Jets,

92
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: and apparently he's real fired up about it. This was

93
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 4: a text from a very pumped up Geno Smith, according

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: to Ian Rappaport, quote, complete full circle moment, back to

95
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: where it all began. I'm excited to connect with my

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 4: new teammates, coaches, and everyone in the building, as well

97
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: as build a new relationship with the fan base and community.

98
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: Your guy, Gino Smith back home.

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 5: You don't see this happen very often in sports in general,

100
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 5: let alone the NFL, so it is a full circle moment.

101
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 5: He's a completely different player and really man than what

102
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 5: he was back in twenty thirteen. I mean, I remember,

103
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: you know, a rookie coming in who was so kind

104
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 5: of trying to understand how to be a pro, how

105
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 5: to break down film, how to prepare himself week in

106
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 5: and week out. I mean, Geno's always had a lot

107
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 5: of talent and the ability to throw the football, and

108
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons why I've still being able

109
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 5: to have some long successful career in terms of how

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 5: that goes. But this is not as good of a

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: situation as he was drafted into, meaning the team that

112
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: he was trapped into was a lot closer and more

113
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 5: talented as far as being competitive than what this one is.

114
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 5: So I will say that I think that's the uphill

115
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: battle for all of this is he's going to be

116
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: on a team where the coach, if things don't go well,

117
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: is going to be on the hot seat. You know,

118
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 5: you've got your star receiver, which back then it was

119
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 5: Santonio Holmes. You know now it's Garret Wilson. But you know,

120
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 5: outside of that, and you've got you know, Brief Hall

121
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 5: in the backfield. But this is a team that offensively,

122
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 5: I think I'm not sure the offensive line is as

123
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 5: good as that one was. Well, guys like Nick Mangold

124
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 5: got rest of soul and the britishoft Ferguson on that front.

125
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 5: I mean, those those guys could absolutely get after it.

126
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: And defensively, you know, that was still during the Rex

127
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 5: Ryan years where you know, they didn't have any issues

128
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: getting interceptions where you're getting turnovers and they had the

129
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 5: ability to get pressured. You know, that was a team that,

130
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 5: if I'm not mistaken, I think they ended up being

131
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 5: you know five hundred that year or around maybe just

132
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 5: a game off of that, but it's just it's not

133
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 5: as good of a situation I think for him going

134
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 5: into it as what it was if he was drafted

135
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 5: into at least for a gard to the roster. So

136
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 5: he's guys were cut out for him. But it's another

137
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 5: opportunity and kind of a cool way to again come

138
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: full circle, and I think he's more equipped to handle

139
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 5: a lot of the adversity that will be thrown his

140
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 5: way as the Jets quarterback compared to again when he

141
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 5: was still there as a rookie, still learning, still kind

142
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: of growing. He's a completely different player today.

143
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: By the way you were naming off all those names,

144
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: I forgot how talented the Jets were back then. There's

145
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: a reason why they were a problem for the Patriots.

146
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: Like they beat New England in a playoff game at Foxborough.

147
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: They went to back to back AFC title games. The

148
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: Jets are really talented back then.

149
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, people, I mean Antonio and Carmarti on the outside.

150
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 5: You look at their linebacking crew. Up front, you had

151
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 5: guys like Mohamon Wilkinson, who's a hell of a player,

152
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 5: especially young. I mean they had.

153
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: Some studs was still there, was still there on the other.

154
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: Side, and you had Willy Coloonne up front to an

155
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: offensive line. I mean that roster was his talent as

156
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 5: some of the best that I played for over about

157
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 5: eight years. And it's you know, again looking looking at

158
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 5: what it is now, it's just gonna be a different challenge.

159
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 5: And that's where I say he's better prepared for it.

160
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 5: And I think if Aaron Glenn can get this thing

161
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: turned around and get the defense playing at a higher

162
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 5: level like Rex had been playing at, you know, they

163
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: could be competitive in some games. But I again, I

164
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 5: think it's an uphill battle. You know, based on what

165
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: last year looked like.

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: I know that it's easy to take shots at the

167
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 4: Jets because they make it easy and they've been a

168
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: disaster and all that. And we've obviously had our laughs

169
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: with with some of what's gone on there. And I

170
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: know that it would be easy to look at Geno

171
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: Smith and you know, oh god, you're going to bring

172
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 4: Geno Smith back. That's really going to work this time.

173
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 4: And then you see the comments from Geno Smith. I

174
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 4: think it illustrates something about him. I think he probably

175
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: recognizes Yeah, I get it, it's the Jets. It probably

176
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: wouldn't be my first choice, but you know what, I'm

177
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 4: going to be the starter. I know that I'm going

178
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 4: to get an opportunity to play. I know I'm not

179
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: going to be backing up, you know, a developmental quarterback

180
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,359
Speaker 4: at all likelihood. I'm actually going to get an opportunity

181
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: to play. And a guy like that who's already seen

182
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 4: his own mortality in the league, who's already seen what

183
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: can go wrong, especially you know if you're drafted at

184
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: a certain place and it doesn't work out initially. I

185
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 4: think he probably looks at this and cherishes the opportunity

186
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: to just play anywhere and be the guy, which he's

187
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: going to be with the Jets.

188
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: I think all those things are true. And I also think,

189
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: you know, they know that there could be some university here,

190
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 5: you know, based on how the season goes. Let's just

191
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 5: go back to Woodie Johnson not allowing Aaron Quin the

192
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: higher defensive coordinator and saying, no, you are a defensive

193
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 5: play call, you call the defense. That to me was

194
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: the first sign of they maybe feel like they made

195
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 5: a mistake. They don't want to make it a one

196
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 5: year thing. They're trying to get through this year. That's

197
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 5: that's how it feels to me, and unfortunately, for Tino Smith,

198
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 5: He's going to take the opportunity to go there, play

199
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 5: and start and be able to manage what will be.

200
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: You know, again, I think it up till battle this season,

201
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 5: but I think it sets them up to be in

202
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 5: a position to draft high next year and in a

203
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 5: much better draft class. And I know I keep, you know,

204
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 5: pounding the table for that class. But again, from what

205
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 5: I've watched and what a lot of people I've talked

206
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 5: to around the league say, is that that's what teams

207
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 5: are preparing to do. They're preparing themselves to be able

208
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 5: to draft a quarterback and down your draft. I would

209
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 5: not be shocked at all if the Jets to have

210
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 5: what the number two pick. Yeah, if they don't trade

211
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 5: back with someone who sees something in ty Simpson, if

212
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 5: they go that route and try to get out accumulate

213
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 5: more picks and then build up for what will be

214
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: that quarterback in next year's draft. Now, could they could

215
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 5: take ty Simpson as well and allow this year to

216
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: be a year where you know, Smith starts, ty Simpson

217
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 5: sits and learns. He doesn't have a ton of starting

218
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 5: experience at the college level. But it would be my

219
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 5: guest if they could straight out of it. They will,

220
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 5: or they would look at taking best player available. But again,

221
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 5: this is not a very highly touted draft in either

222
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 5: way for quarterbacks or for top end talent. I mean again,

223
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 5: we're looking at what I believe to be maybe a

224
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 5: historic draft class next year. Pete says five quarterbacks. Also,

225
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 5: you know, I'd say six, but not even that. I

226
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 5: think about guys like Jeremiah Smith who're gonna be coming

227
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 5: out too as a wide receiver. You're gonna plug in

228
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 5: right away as your number one wide receiver to throw to.

229
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 5: Ryan Williams out of Alabama, another absolute Blazer who's gonna

230
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 5: be talked about as part of that crew too. So

231
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 5: it's an extremely talented class all the way around, not

232
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 5: just a quarterback. And there are a lot of teams

233
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 5: setting themselves up to be able to get some of

234
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 5: those prize pieces in that draft. So if you look

235
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 5: at what the Raiders are this year and Genus just

236
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 5: started playing games for them, you know, maybe there's a

237
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 5: thought too of like, hey, he's gonna be a guy

238
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: who could manage a lot of the adversity, keep us

239
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 5: competitive games. Maybe we could win. But at the end

240
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 5: of the day, we're still gonna be able to get

241
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 5: through what could be a very adverse season with where

242
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 5: our rosters at, where our team's at, or this organization

243
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 5: right now, and look to make more of a reset

244
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 5: and twenty twice seven.

245
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: And also, if you think about it, because you mentioned

246
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 4: they've got the number two pick, they've also got the

247
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 4: number sixteen pick because that was part of the Sauce

248
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: Gardner trade when they traded him to Indianapolis. And so

249
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 4: that's that could be a spot to where if ty

250
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: Simpson is sitting there, teams could also want to trade

251
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: up and maybe feel like that's maybe a more appropriate

252
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: place to want to take him if they value him

253
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 4: more so at a sixteen as opposed to number two overall.

254
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: So they've got options, man like, trading back makes sense,

255
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 4: especially with the class that's coming in next year. And look,

256
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 4: I also when I think about Geno Smith too, because

257
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: we talked, we had a lot of conversations about, you know,

258
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: the fallout in Minnesota, letting Sam Darnold walk and then

259
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: seeing what happened. He goes on to win a Super

260
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 4: Bowl and you know what happened to I mean, I

261
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy, you call him nine whatever, get you know,

262
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 4: to each their own, but to see what happened there

263
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 4: and how that's perceived. With Sam Darnold leaving and when

264
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 4: his winning a super Bowl, I also look at it

265
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 4: and I go, man, Gino Smith was just there in Seattle,

266
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: like he was just there. He gets traded away, He

267
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 4: goes to the Raiders, They pay him what close to

268
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: sixty million dollars, give up a third round pick whatever.

269
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 4: The compensation was there, and it was awful. And Pete

270
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: Carroll the same, and so Gino Smith's probably looking around going,

271
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 4: damn man, like I like, you know, I was on

272
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: a potentially a super Bowl winning roster at the time.

273
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: Obviously they added a couple of pieces, you know, in

274
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 4: that in the next offseason. But I was on that roster.

275
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: They just won a super Bowl, and here I am

276
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: with the Raiders and we're a clown show. And so

277
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: I to the fact that he's going to be able

278
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: to get an opportunity after all that's happened in the

279
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 4: past year, and it's going to be going all the

280
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: way back to New York and getting that chance to start,

281
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 4: you know with some with you know, some talent there.

282
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 4: You got your Garrett Wilson the Breees halls you've mentioned.

283
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 4: I just, yeah, I look at it, I go I

284
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: feel good for Gino Smith. My hopes aren't that high

285
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: because the Jets, but at least he's going to get

286
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: another shot and another chance to start, and who knows

287
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: how many more of these he's going to get.

288
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 3: In his career.

289
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again a different player, now, much more matured player,

290
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: knows how to handle. At first, I thought he handled

291
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 5: a lot of the adversity last season. You know, people

292
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 5: tend to forget. They fired their office to Cordner midyear,

293
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 5: and I think Chip Kelly got a lot of blame

294
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 5: for what was going on. However, you know, when you

295
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 5: start reading more of the reports that came out from

296
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 5: Las Vegas, I mean, it was a clown show behind

297
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 5: the scenes in regards to how they were trying to

298
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: prepare for stuff. I mean, whether it's the old line

299
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 5: room and the blocking schemes and John Spytech down there

300
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 5: breaking down film with some of the old linemen because

301
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: they didn't feel like they were prepared. With Pete Carroll's

302
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: sons like kind of helping out on the staff coaching,

303
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 5: there's a lot of things going on there. He weathered

304
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 5: the storm. I mean, he really did. You know a

305
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 5: lot of stuff did this surface until it became more apparent,

306
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 5: you know, how things were being orchestraed on the coaching

307
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 5: staff with the firing of Chim Kelly. So again you're

308
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 5: bringing in a guy who is going to be the

309
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 5: face the franchise, at least initially as the quarterback, as

310
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 5: their starter again. And he's handled the New York media

311
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 5: before and he'll be able to handle it again. And

312
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 5: he'll be able to handle again some adversity that could

313
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 5: come from a team that stuggled to win games last

314
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 5: year and probably will struggle to again win games this year.

315
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just hold, for Geno's sake that I can.

316
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: And Paulie is not anywhere near the building.

317
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: You know, I knew this would come up. Well at

318
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 5: some point, I knew it would. You couldn't help yourself.

319
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 5: What I mean, isn't he busy? What's he busy doing

320
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 5: right now?

321
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

322
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I mean, well, because for those

323
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: that aren't familiar Gino Smith.

324
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: I think you need to touch on the ik And and

325
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 5: Pauli story.

326
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: Okay, well, so the reason I can in Pauli's name

327
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 4: is being brought up is because apparently there's a dispute

328
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: over money that was owed to him from Geno Smith.

329
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 4: There was a skirmish in the locker room, and the

330
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 4: report was that I Can and Polly punched Ginosmith and

331
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: broke his jaw. Now you hear that, you go, wow,

332
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 4: that's salacious enough, and then we go, oh but no,

333
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: but wait, there's more. When it comes to I Can

334
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 4: and Polly who back in I believe twenty fifteen, he

335
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: was arrested. There was police called because there was an

336
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: issue that he had. He was going to meet up

337
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 4: with a woman to consummate a plan of attack of

338
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: a sexual nature.

339
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: We'll put it that way.

340
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 4: He was going to meet up and get some stuff

341
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 4: done with a lucky lady that he met online who

342
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 4: I believe's name was Missy Lee. So he meets up,

343
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 4: he goes to this residence. He goes in the side

344
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: door and when he's there, he sees Missy Lee with

345
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 4: a blanket over her head, and for whatever reason, she

346
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 4: won't remove the blanket, and he thinks it's a little weird,

347
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: so he gets frustrated.

348
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: He just leaves.

349
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 4: Missy Lee texts Can and paul In says, come back in.

350
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 4: I can, and Poullie comes back in. Missy Lee's phone

351
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 4: lights up under the blanket and I can't, and Paulie

352
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 4: sees that missy Lee's got facial hair, then sees another

353
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 4: individual walk in the room. You know, no, no, we

354
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 4: don't have it confer whether or not it was the

355
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: gimp from pulp fiction who actually the real guy just

356
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: passed away last week. Thought some prayers, but I can't,

357
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 4: and Polly punched missy Lee, who turns out name was

358
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: probably Mike with a full blown beard under the blanket

359
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 4: as the phone lights up and there was an arrest,

360
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 4: teeth were knocked out, All sorts of stuff happened there.

361
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 4: So that is one of the all time great catfish stories.

362
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 4: Just imagine walking into somebody's house one time, they sell

363
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: you on coming back in again, and then you figure

364
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 4: out who they really are because the phone lights up

365
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: under the blanket and they've got to go tea.

366
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: That's terrifying.

367
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 5: So Raita, I hope you never put yourself in that situation.

368
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 4: Colrada, you better shave. That's enough, Oh man, Yeah, so

369
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 4: that's uh. But again, ginosmiths back, everybody he is back

370
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: and he is now a New York Jet again, so

371
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,640

428
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,720

429
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: eighty three points, the second highest point total in NBA history.

431
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 5: Did somebody explain to me what the hell was going

432
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 5: on with that game? Like, why are they sally bam

433
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 5: out of Bio? Is that just so you could go

434
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: past Toby's point total? Is that what this is about.

435
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 4: Oh that's correct. Yeah, yeah, that's correct. Yeah you got yeah,

436
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 4: you saw that. Yeah correct, Yeah, that's exactly what it was.

437
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 5: So the NBA has reached the point now where we're

438
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 5: trying to help other players just break records. I mean,

439
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 5: I guess that's that's why Lebron still playing. That is

440
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 5: that a case?

441
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 6: Yeah?

442
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, that's why I said it's a Papa shot.

443
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 4: When you play Papa shot, there gets to a point

444
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 4: to where you get an extra point the final ten seconds,

445
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: so like, and then everything becomes a three and the

446
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 4: rim starts moving from left to right, and they may

447
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: as well just do that, like if if we're going

448
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: to go all the way with this gimmicky garbage. And look,

449
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 4: it's not to say he didn't have a great game,

450
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 4: but I hope that people historically remember the game for

451
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 4: what really happened. You had players intentionally fouling so the

452
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 4: guy could go get more points at the line. Again,

453
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: incredible game, a really really good player. Was probably really

454
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: fun for he fans that were in attendance. All of

455
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: that is nice, but dude, they the whole thing felt

456
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 4: rinky dink based on the fact that they were manipulating

457
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 4: the game so that he could tack on points like

458
00:22:59,280 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 4: how's there?

459
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: How are hos anybody okay with this?

460
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 5: When would this ever happen in the nineties? What would

461
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 5: this ever happen in two thousands? Like what would this

462
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 5: have happened under David Stern in in all.

463
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: Seriousness, like it wouldn't It wouldn't have happened. I was

464
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 4: Ben Maller and I were joking. We were talking about,

465
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 4: you know, in the nineties, it wouldn't have happened because

466
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 4: you either would have had some guy who's hung over

467
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 4: from the night before or some random white guy who's

468
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 4: seven to one from you know, some some semi pro

469
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: league in Lithuania who would have just taken somebody out

470
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: at the knees, like he would have been brought in

471
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 4: to use his six fouls to make a point that

472
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 4: you're not going to have that happen against us.

473
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 3: That's how that would have worked.

474
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 6: Well.

475
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: The mentality of the league was just different. You know,

476
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 5: guys weren't friends, Guys weren't trying to team up. You know,

477
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 5: guys are trying to win championships, and they were cutthroat

478
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 5: about it, and they were physical and the way they'd

479
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 5: go about playing is took pride and defense. They took

480
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 5: pride in not allowing guys to do something like that,

481
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 5: and that's unfortunately where we've gotten to now with the NBA.

482
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 5: It's why it makes it such a hard product to

483
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 5: watch that we're just promoting a guy where both teams

484
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 5: are trying to help them beat a record. I mean,

485
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 5: what are we doing here?

486
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: I would also say, if you're the NBA and you're

487
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 4: so worried about everything being on the up and up

488
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 4: from a gambling standpoint, if I was a gambler, if

489
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 4: I was a sports book, I'd be looking at that going,

490
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 4: really that that's so so now everybody's in on it.

491
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: So is this you versus them? Or is it hey,

492
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 4: let's all be a part of history. That's and I

493
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 4: know that they're you know, nobody's gonna take that approach

494
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 4: because maybe you know it didn't impact the betting line,

495
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 4: but still the fact that that's allowed and that's going

496
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 4: on in a game would raise questions for me if

497
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 4: I if I was going to actually take that sport

498
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 4: serious and feel like, you know, at least I'm betting

499
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: on something that's on the up and up if they're

500
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 4: going to roll that out so some guy can get

501
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: a record, A.

502
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 5: Lot we're looking at too. But even more than that,

503
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 5: you know, where does the NBA players Union step in

504
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 5: and just try to protect I mean one of the

505
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 5: things that when you have a union, and obviously everyone's

506
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 5: talking about like cbas and work conditions, but it's also

507
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 5: about preserving the legacy of the guys before you. And

508
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 5: at no point to the other players around the league

509
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 5: go hey, guys, what are we doing, Like this isn't basketball,

510
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 5: This isn't a game that we were brought up on,

511
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 5: Like where we're propping up a guy or trying to

512
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 5: foul guy in the final moments just so you can

513
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 5: help break a record. I mean, it's ridiculous. At some point,

514
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 5: like the league needs to turn this thing over to

515
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: some players who remember how the game is supposed to

516
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 5: be played and what it's supposed to represent. I mean

517
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 5: that might be entertaining from Miami fans or there in

518
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 5: attendance or fans you get like a free taco or something.

519
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 5: He scores a certain amount of points, a certain amount

520
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 5: free throws, but you know, watching the end of it,

521
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 5: it wasn't even an entertaining game to watch, just because

522
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 5: of all the back and forth. I mean, it was honestly,

523
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 5: I was watching like a disbelief of what the sport

524
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 5: has become. And I feel like with the NHL will

525
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 5: all the momentum off of the Olympics, with the way

526
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 5: baseball has made some subtle changes, and you see the

527
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 5: impact obviously the the you know, the World Baseball Classic

528
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 5: right now. I just I feel like the NBA has

529
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 5: tried to pride itself and it's kind of you know,

530
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 5: the Christmas Day Game. Everything else. The NFL has taken

531
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 5: that away. If they're not careful, people will continue to

532
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 5: care less and less about that sport and it will

533
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 5: get surpassed by some of the others that have been

534
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 5: beneath it for a while because they're not. And this

535
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 5: is a large, large part to do with Adam Silver too.

536
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 5: He's not doing anything to guard the sanctity of the

537
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 5: actual game. It'slf instead of just letting anything happen. And

538
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: that was evidence of that last night.

539
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 4: And the problem is is that you'll get you'll get

540
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 4: people who want to defend the sport and the league

541
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 4: and and go all the way.

542
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 3: And I get it.

543
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: There's you know, TV partners and ESPNS involved, there's a

544
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 4: lot of people involved. But but they'll just they'll call

545
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: us haters, like they'll say, you're a hater, You're just trying.

546
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: To be a downer. All you guys are.

547
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 4: Doing is propping up football, when the reality is, nobody's

548
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 4: been more honest about awful football games that we've watched

549
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 4: over the past couple of years NFL college football than

550
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 4: this show.

551
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: We'll tell you the game sucks.

552
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 5: They were.

553
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 4: In fact, that was one of the one of the

554
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: great moments of the show. Getting to come in every

555
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 4: Monday after Penn State defecated all over themselves in another

556
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 4: game that was great, that was.

557
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 5: Fun for us, started off as a number two team

558
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 5: and an example of that.

559
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 4: That was just a wonderful time to exist on this

560
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 4: show every Monday morning, having to deal with that. But

561
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 4: I just, yeah, I don't know how you watch that

562
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 4: and you're just okay with it.

563
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: I really don't. I don't. That seems a little weird.

564
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 5: And I'd say this, like, I love the game of basket.

565
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 5: I grew up playing basketball, you know, and my daughters

566
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 5: now my kids are all well, all play basketball. I

567
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: actually feel like it is the best sport, the most

568
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 5: fundamental sport to teach kids at a young age that

569
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 5: will help every other sport they play. So like, this

570
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 5: doesn't come from any sort of mean spiritedness. This comes

571
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 5: from like, look at the ratings, look at the downward

572
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 5: trend of what's happening to that sport and why, I mean,

573
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 5: what we love is when we watch competition. You know,

574
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 5: one of the reasons why whether you're a hockey fan

575
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 5: or not. And you could say, well, I'm patriarch and

576
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 5: that's why I've watched, you know, the the Olympics, and

577
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 5: I watched you know, the men's hockey win and the

578
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 5: women's hockey win. That's it was about that. It's like, no,

579
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 5: it's not. It was because there was a competitive game,

580
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 5: Like anyone who watched that was like, man, it feels

581
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 5: kind of like David versus good Lias. We went to

582
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 5: overtime three B three and you're watching the three best

583
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 5: hockey players in the world for Canada and they couldn't

584
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 5: figure out how to get a goal and instead the

585
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 5: United States did. Like that's one of those all time

586
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 5: incredible stories. What story is that being told right now

587
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 5: in the NBA? I mean, Lebron and how long he's

588
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 5: playing into this at this point, but basically just playing offense,

589
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 5: not really playing any defense. I mean, like a team

590
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 5: propping up a guy just to beat Kobe's old point,

591
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 5: you know, total.

592
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 4: And also, like Charles Barkley is one of the most

593
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 4: brutally honest insiders you'll ever see. There's no He'll just

594
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 4: call it as he sees it, and that's why he's

595
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 4: so great. And Charles Barkley openly admits he prefers the

596
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 4: NHL playoffs over the NBA, and he's not, and he

597
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: covers the sport. They've got video of him watching hockey

598
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: games during the NBA games that he's covering on.

599
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: Set like that, I'll tell you everything you need to know,

600
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: Like it's right.

601
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 4: There'll he'll tell you, like, yeah, I prefer this product

602
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: over the other one.

603
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: It's just yeah.

604
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 4: That was I see the eighty three, and I'm thinking

605
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: of myself and the first, you know, and here's the problem.

606
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 4: I see the eighty three and the first thing I

607
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 4: thought of was how many free throws? Because when Kobe

608
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 4: got his eighty one, I think he had twenty free throws.

609
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: I think it was something around that number. And I

610
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: go and I check, and there's forty three free throw attempts.

611
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 4: The Wizards as a team, I think had twenty seven?

612
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: What are we doing?

613
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 5: And well beyond that, the game wasn't really that close

614
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 5: at them and thinking why are they fouling him? You're like,

615
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 5: what are the is this really about? Just trying to

616
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 5: get him back in the freequim Wine score with very

617
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 5: little time lights to surpass it. I mean, it also

618
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 5: leads to think, is it just guys love at a

619
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 5: bio that much? Did they dislike Kobe that much? I mean,

620
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 5: like I would imagine there's some players who idolized Kobe

621
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 5: and would want to protect that in a manner. You

622
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Like, there's guys who feel that

623
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: where were like, I'm not going to let him, you know,

624
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 5: take Kobe's record, or I'm not going to let him

625
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 5: take you know, this away from Kobe's legacy. Well, yet

626
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 5: apparently that's not the mentality of the league anymore.

627
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, if Kobe Bryant was in

628
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 4: BAM shoes last night, do you think he would have

629
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 4: been okay with people fouling intentionally?

630
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: So he hell, he'd be paid well he'd.

631
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 5: Be paid, by the way, it would have never happened

632
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 5: that way anyway. You know, he wasn't gonna be taking

633
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 5: all his shots to your point at the free throw line.

634
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 5: He was going to be making sure he was taking

635
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 5: shots out on the court.

636
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 6: Yeah.

637
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:50,920

Speaker 6: I'm jealous.

687
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,000

689

691
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 6: Well, you're welcome to if you want. Friday. I'll probably

692
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 6: be tired of Jonas by that. I'm just kidding, of course,

693
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 6: just joshing, of course.

694
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were kicking around what happened in the NBA

695
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 5: last night?

696
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, but I want to ask you, are you

697
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 6: like on a phone?

698
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm si a cell phone. That's that's We're at

699
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 5: the last resort here of our technical capabilities.

700
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is that is how I would put that.

701
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 6: That is well put.

702
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 4: Hey, you know some uh, some hosts on this network

703
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 4: have done full shows when there was other options on

704
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 4: the cell phone.

705
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: So there is you know there really well you know.

706
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah.

707
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 6: Sounds like gottlieb oh no oh no, oh no, hey,

708
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 6: I heard you, miss class. Well, anyway about this Lebron thing.

709
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 6: You're right, though, that is the last resort. I mean,

710
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 6: I remember being on a phone being like, oh my god,

711
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 6: Rudy Gobert threw up on the court and COVID's happening

712
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 6: and we're all gonna die.

713
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 5: It wasn't it wasn't a pandemic that cost us. But

714
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 5: let's just say.

715
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 6: We're here, all right, all right? Did one of your

716
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 6: kids spill like gatorade or something on your comrades, like

717
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 6: what happened?

718
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 5: My assumption is my one year old just ripped a

719
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 5: port of power corps that has left me powerless for

720
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 5: my combat unit. That is my assumption. Yeah.

721
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 6: Wow, that's a rough ticket. And what's up with LeVar?

722
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 5: Well? That thought good question.

723
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's uh, you got took some time off hanging

724
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 4: out with the kids. They're back from college, so family time. Okay,

725
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 4: but we'll just say it's a PD suspension.

726
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 3: We'll keep it honest.

727
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you like to say he pissed hot?

728
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's on the gas.

729
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 6: All right. Well, I'm here and you guys want to

730
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 6: talk about the NBA. I did not watch a lot

731
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 6: of the NBA last night. I know the Lakers came

732
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 6: back to beat the te Wolves, which is impressive. That's there.

733
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 6: What third straight win without Lebron. They look like the

734
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 6: team they were when the season started and Lebron was

735
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 6: lying to everybody about having sciatica and taking some time off.

736
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 6: And because of that, these guys got a taste of

737
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 6: playing together. Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves and even that

738
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 6: very disinterested most of the time. DeAndre Ayton was into it.

739
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 6: And they came back and won the game. So that

740
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 6: was one thing that happened. So there'll be plenty of

741
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 6: debate shows about Lebron and disrespecting Lebron and all these

742
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 6: stupid things. And then we had the guys score eighty three,

743
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 6: but almost half of it for Bam was free throws, right,

744
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 6: Forty free throws.

745
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, forty three attempts.

746
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's hardcore. That's a lot of free throws to

747
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 6: get to eighty three, right, I mean that's I mean,

748
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 6: good for him, and congratulations and what a great moment.

749
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 6: But I think we can all agree that the NBA

750
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 6: has changed so much. A lot of these stats in

751
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 6: this weird stat era are I don't know, they feel

752
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 6: a little more empty. Maybe we all were gas lighted

753
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 6: into thinking the NBA was so great in the nineties

754
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 6: when it wasn't just because of the John Tesh song.

755
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 6: But one way or another, I mean, for me, that

756
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 6: was really the kicker, But one way or another, it

757
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 6: was a big night in the NBA. And there'll be

758
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 6: a lot of debate. They'll be debate about disrespecting Kobe

759
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 6: and his big, big night, and then they'll be debate

760
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 6: about Bam and whether or not it was legit. There'll

761
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 6: be debate about Lebron and if the Lakers are better

762
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 6: off without them, which they undoubtedly are, And there will

763
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 6: be debate about whether or not any of us should

764
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 6: care because Italy beat the United States last night.

765
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 5: The Greeks could ever do that? Could they?

766
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know. I mean, you could put together

767
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 6: a Greek baseball.

768
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 3: Team, Marqukus Mustakus, who yeah, yeah, you.

769
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 6: Can put together a Greek baseball team and just find

770
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 6: guys that are half Greek. Grew up in Clearwater, Florida,

771
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 6: different things like that. But but I don't know. The

772
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 6: World Baseball Classics interesting, it's kind of a built It's

773
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 6: sort of a built up event, which I guess anything

774
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 6: is when it started, and I remember going to World

775
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,480

842

Speaker 6: Amazing, right, I mean that's an amazing list.

852
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 5: What is the debate between a kazoo and a trumpet?

853
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 6: I think what they're looking for is like a band,

854
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 6: if you have it, like any old idiot can bring

855
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 6: a kazoo, But if you have a trumpet, you know,

856
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 6: it's assuming you know how to play.

857
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: That, right, you're a professional right.

858
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 6: So you know they want like a Latin makeshift band

859
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 6: in the crowd.

860
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 5: We just talking about Jonah's wedding.

861
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, wedding yea, And it sounds a lot like

862
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 4: we got we got married during COVID. They kept the deposit,

863
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 4: so maybe they're maybe they can finally.

864
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,479
Speaker 3: To do their job six years later.

865
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 6: Jeez, it's fortunate. Well anyway, that's the rules for the

866
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 6: World Baseball Classic. And now after all that, the Team

867
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 6: USA is going down. That's so they're going I don't

868
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 6: understand the tie breaker, but very few do.

869
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's basically you need Italy to win out right

870
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 4: if you're the US, or you need Mexico to not

871
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 4: score a lot of runs and win.

872
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 3: Like It's just it feels like it could have been done.

873
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 4: It also doesn't helpen your manager Mark de Rosa, I

874
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 4: don't know if that's an Italian name, but that's also

875
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 4: confusing when Mark de Rosa doesn't know that the US

876
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 4: hadn't already clinched into the next round and basically alludes

877
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 4: to the fact that the players got banged up after

878
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 4: the Mexico win and so they were dragging ass yesterday.

879
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 3: It's probably also not a great look.

880
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 5: You know, it sounds like a taliant spy. I mean,

881
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 5: how do we know they didn't plan one? And as

882
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 5: our manager, you know.

883
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 6: I don't know. I thought Italian Italy was friendly with

884
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 6: that angry Georgia Meloney. Their prime minister didn't. I don't

885
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 6: even know if Italy knows this is happening because all

886
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 6: the players are American guys. But I'm not surprised that

887
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 6: nobody knows the rules. And I'm not surprised. I guess

888
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 6: the guys on D Day didn't get beat up by

889
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 6: Mexico in day one. Right, Well we're dragging ass day two. Sorry,

890
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 6: we can't take the area is Italian.

891
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 5: They're usually having an Italian horn on and they're killing

892
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 5: them one about it, you know, like that's I get

893
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 5: a buddy. I'm not gonna dave names here Italian last name,

894
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 5: but I'm more Italian than he is. He's basically Irish,

895
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 5: but you would never know that base on his persona.

896
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 6: I thought, yeah, we have David Vassa, who really leans

897
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 6: into the Italian thing. But he doesn't like the World

898
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 6: Baseball Classic because he works with the Dodgers. So the

899
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 6: one thing I just keep thinking about Brady is when

900
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 6: this show's over, you're just gonna like hit hit the

901
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 6: hang up button on your phone.

902
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 5: I mean, it would be no different than me just

903
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 5: powering down the comra.

904
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 6: It's just, you know, I don't know, it's just kind

905
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 6: of funny to me, like, Okay, I'm gonna hang up

906
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 6: my phone. Now.

907
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what thought at least he's here, he's

908
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 4: battling through.

909
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: You know, there's something you know that.

910
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 6: You're absolutely right. A lot of guys would just be

911
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 6: like that lady in the com Mine a couple of

912
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 6: years ago on that radio show with Chicago, she had

913
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 6: a little echo and she just said f this and

914
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 6: threw her headset off. Remember that I did.

915
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 3: Want on the bam on a bio eighty stupid.

916
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 6: I mean, the guy averages eighteen a game and he

917
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 6: ends up scoring eighty three.

918
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 4: It's, by the way, he scored so many points last night.

919
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 4: His average is up to twenty. I was curious about that.

920
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 6: So hear what Craig Cartin wrote about it. No, he wrote,

921
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 6: the Miami Heat versus Washington Wizards game is a disgrace

922
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 6: to basketball. Miami up twenty six and fouling Washington as

923
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 6: soon as the ball is inbounded, missing free throws on

924
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 6: purpose to get Bam more shots and points is pathetic.

925
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 6: The Wizards are triple teaming Bam full court trying to

926
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 6: prevent him from scoring eighty three, which he now did.

927
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 6: He has taken over forty free throws at over forty shots.

928
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

929
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 6: Total s show at NBA.

930
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 4: It's also for the league that is so worried about

931
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 4: everything being on the up and up because of gambling,

932
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 4: and you've got these charades going on where teams are

933
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 4: in it together to get a guy a point total.

934
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 4: It's just the whole thing's awful. And then Steve Kerr

935
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 4: comes out and he's talking about how to improve the

936
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 4: league is by doing ten less games. At this point,

937
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 4: there's some people that just want eighty two less games,

938
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 4: and I just it's not anywhere close to what it was.

939
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, the player empowerment era has kind of gone out

940
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 6: of control, which is weird. I mean, you want the

941
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 6: people that deserve the money to be playing between the lines.

942
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 6: And obviously basketball players are very elite and very special

943
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 6: athletes and some of the best looking and most impressive

944
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 6: athletes in the world. I'm not saying they're the toughest,

945
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 6: but they are really graceful, and the propioception of knowing

946
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 6: where your limbs are when you're moving around, and not

947
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 6: only do they go up and down the court, but

948
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 6: they go up and down like pogo sticks, which is

949
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 6: what's really hard, jumping high and then jumping high again

950
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 6: the second time. That kind of stuff is really impressive,

951
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 6: and people don't concentrate on it. And there is something

952
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 6: to the fact that athletes are or fine tune now

953
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 6: and they go up and down a little faster, and

954
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 6: everything is a little bit more optimized than it was

955
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 6: from our era. But I think now that you kind

956
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 6: of take a longer view of it and look at

957
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 6: today's NBA from the mean mister Mustard outfit that Shay

958
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 6: Gilges Alexander wore the other night to eighty three points

959
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 6: for Bam of all people last night, and just Lebron

960
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 6: hanging on for dear life, fingertips, holding on to the

961
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 6: cracks and the foundation of him as a Laker, all

962
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 6: of it just you know, you figure that even though

963
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 6: maybe it's optimized and everybody's making more money, it's not

964
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 6: better than it was. I mean, it's probably the same

965
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 6: thing as college football right now. I'm not for players

966
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 6: not getting paid and I'm not for the weird, crooked

967
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 6: system that we grew up playing under, although I don't

968
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 6: think it was that bad when in retrospect, but I

969
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 6: mean it was almost better when when college football was done,

970
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 6: everything was done under the table, right like we almost

971
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 6: had we almost had a little bit more of an

972
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 6: understanding of the sport and we almost had a better

973
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 6: handle on how to cover it when everything that was

974
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 6: being done illegal was being done behind the scenes. And

975
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 6: now that everything is above board and everything is it's

976
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 6: kind of like Las Vegas right at the end of

977
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 6: that movie Casino where they say, hey, Vegas was better

978
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 6: when the mob ran it. You know, now that it's

979
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 6: all corporate and it's all you know, there's no there's

980
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 6: no intimacy anymore, there's no pride anymore, there's no I mean,

981
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 6: these are all interesting things. Like there's a lot of

982
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 6: great things that have come with with modern sports or

983
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 6: contemporary NBA and college football and the different things we watch,

984
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 6: even even the NFL. But there's a lot of stuff

985
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 6: when you look at it compared to the way it

986
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 6: used to be that is not as cool, and the

987
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 6: way that that guy got to eighty three last night

988
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 6: is probably one of those things. And the way people

989
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 6: dress in the tunnel is the other.

990
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 5: Well, put petriss I want to go back to the

991
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 5: World Baseball Classic and just and I noticed you were

992
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 5: you wanted more celebration from the walk off homer by

993
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 5: Puerto Rico.

994
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't see enough. I didn't see enough emotion.

995
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 5: Could you describe for our listeners what exactly that that

996
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 5: walk off home look like?

997
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 6: I mean, it looked like a choreographed party in a

998
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 6: different country. It was awesome, you know, I mean, it

999
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 6: was absolutely great. I don't know how you just stand

1000
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 6: there and wear that in the chest if you're Nicaragua.

1001
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 6: I mean, I think if it wasn't the American team,

1002
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 6: there might have been a fistfight if they cared enough.

1003
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 6: But it's fun to watch people get emotional. It's fun

1004
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 6: to watch people freak out. You know, it's really interesting. Brady.

1005
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 6: In today's day and age, if you build a stadium now,

1006
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 6: it's not all like this. We have great things in community.

1007
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 6: We have you know, the wave to the kids in

1008
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 6: the hospital at Kinnick. Yeah, at Florida, they sing I

1009
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 6: won't back down between the third and fourth quarter, the

1010
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 6: enter Sandman stuff in Blacksburg. I mean, there's a lot

1011
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 6: of stuff that is cool, But when you build a

1012
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 6: new stadium today, what are the one thing they're trying

1013
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 6: to build all the time? Sweets? Sweets and partitioned off areas.

1014
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 6: And you watch the World Baseball Classic and the World

1015
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 6: Cup is coming to la and coming to the United

1016
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 6: States North America soon, and I mean there's a real

1017
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 6: thing about being in community. It's not really our deal

1018
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 6: because we're sportscasters and we don't, you know, drink before

1019
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 6: the games and drink during the games and hang out afterwards.

1020
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 6: What we're doing is working. But standing with other people

1021
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 6: in a game and watching stuff is not as American

1022
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 6: that used to be. You know, we want to sit

1023
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 6: in a suite next to Ice Spice and Taylor Swift,

1024
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 6: like that's what we want to do, you know, Or

1025
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 6: like you're Kendall Jenner dancing along to Bad Bunny who

1026
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 6: you used to date, and Lewis Hamilton sitting in front

1027
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 6: of you, who you also used to date with your

1028
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 6: big fat cow sister Kim who he's dating now. You know,

1029
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 6: Like that's like the that's become the American the elite

1030
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 6: American sports experiences watching from a suite or watching yeah,

1031
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 6: there she is, or watching the Armenian Cow, or watching

1032
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 6: she needs to be milked. Brow us your problem, bro,

1033
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 6: You talk about Kim in such way. So I do

1034
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 6: think it's kind of sad that we don't stand together

1035
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 6: and watch sports in the same way in America like

1036
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 6: a lot of these people do because obviously they're having

1037
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 6: the time of their lives like Sergio dipp and we

1038
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 6: on the other hand, are just like, hey, I look

1039
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 6: at Ice, Spice, look at that. You know it's not

1040
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 6: I mean, and I know that people most a lot

1041
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 6: of people do still have that experience, but it.

1042
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 5: Feels like, is that because is this because we've made

1043
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 5: it a for TV product? Like I always feel like

1044
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 5: that TV networks battle between trying to make the atmosphere

1045
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 5: out of venue look incredible to be at, Like when

1046
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 5: you're home, you're like, God, I wish I could go

1047
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 5: to that. However, then when you go, it's like, well, now,

1048
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 5: like for example, halftime show, you brought up that bunny.

1049
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 5: People who were there in attendants are like, yeah, it

1050
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 5: was awful because the audio is actually just everything's piped

1051
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 5: in for TV not for the people who are actually

1052
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 5: there in attendance.

1053
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 6: You know, you're right about that. Halftime shows have just

1054
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 6: become a steady cam following a guy around in a maze, right, But.

1055
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 5: Is that part of its like we're so keen on

1056
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 5: making the product good for TV, we forgot about the

1057
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 5: people who actually go there in person.

1058
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 6: Well, I think that's a great point. But and you

1059
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 6: do the big noon show, so you would know. I mean,

1060
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 6: it's not like you guys are looking for a game

1061
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 6: that doesn't have anybody that's air, you know, I mean,

1062
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 6: I mean you guys. I mean that's part of the

1063
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 6: experience of having a great TV product is having a

1064
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 6: great crowd to show. I mean, when something bad happens

1065
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 6: to the home team, you immediately have a director trying

1066
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 6: to find a guy doing the surrender Cobra in the crowd, right,

1067
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 6: or people excited in the crowd, or people dejected in

1068
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 6: the crowd. I mean, the crowd is such a huge

1069
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 6: part of the production. But you're right, I mean, it

1070
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 6: isn't made for TV product, and that's how they're making

1071
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 6: the money. But it's a very difficult balance because every

1072
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 6: time there's a big crowd at any sporting event that's

1073
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 6: into it. It makes the event better on TV, at

1074
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 6: the event, for the players, everybody involved. So it's a

1075
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 6: very interesting thing. But I think when we have the

1076
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 6: World Cup and the World Baseball Classic and we get

1077
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 6: to see other people celebrating from other countries, singing songs,

1078
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:01,479
Speaker 6: being together, sharing their culture, it makes me a little

1079
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 6: bit more ashamed of Taylor Swift and Ice Spice if

1080
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.

1081
