27

Speaker 4: gazing out the window, deep size everywhere.

28
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: I always always feel for any football fan who has

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: to look at all of the people around them and

30
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: the things that when weekends come, that people ask you

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: to do. And it can either be of the variety

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: of errands grocery store and I don't know, chasing kids

33
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,000

36
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,240

00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,040

71
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: because I was like, I can just sleep all day.

72
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,119

Speaker 3: but love it.

77
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 5: I don't think that I could do that even if

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 5: I tried.

79
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm impressed because you know, like, I got teenagers

80
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: in the house, so I get the whole idea of

81
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: quote unquote staying up late. And I always teased with them.

82
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, at a certain point, you're no longer up late.

83
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: It's now what's called early. Right, you have flipped, and

84
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: it happened for me. It happens usually somewhere in that

85
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: three three thirty area. That's like I stayed up late.

86
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: If you get to four. To me, you're just up early.

87
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: So you didn't go to bed late. You just just

88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: just stayed up un till early, just stayed up.

89
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 5: You went to bed twelve hours ago.

90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: Yep.

91
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 3: What times you get up three o'clock?

92
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god, reckless? Oh my? So when will you

93
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: be able to go to sleep again? Oh?

94
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: I can go back to sleep. I'm a dad, dude,

95
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: I can go back to sleep.

96
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm impressed. I'm impressed. And and and the kids didn't

97
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: you know nothing? No, you didn't have any games today,

98
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: no coaching fifty teams.

99
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, it's great, all right.

100
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 4: It's one of the only weekends I'll have like this,

101
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: so I took advantage of it.

102
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. Like I said, I'd

103
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: do it if I could, I can't, so I don't.

104
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: And I've been I've been up for twelve hours already

105
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: and now I'm all ready to talk to you and

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: and UH, let's break down this game and UH and

107
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: everything that's going on around the league. And it also

108
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: allows us the opportunity to depart a little bit from

109
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: the league. I mean, I can tell you this. The

110
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: NFL doesn't want to hear this, but this is just

111
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: the facts of the matter. And I know Radio Row,

112
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: and for those of you who don't know what Radio

113
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: Row is, is kind of like the media center of

114
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl build up. In this particular case, when

115
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: it's in the Bay Area, the media center in Radio

116
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: Row is actually a good solid hour from where the

117
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: game is played in Santa Clara. But all of this

118
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: will happen right in the center of downtown San Francisco.

119
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: And there's a little secret that I unfortunately don't want

120
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: to tell the NFL, but I have to. And all

121
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: of the national media that will be there sure, and

122
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: the Boston media will be there in the media from

123
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: the Northwest, and then every other market gets to kind

124
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: of pick and choose who they want to talk to

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: and what they want to talk about this week. But

126
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: the host media outlets this week here in the Bay Area,

127
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: as the Patriots and Seahawks descend on the San Francisco

128
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: metropolitan area, are going to be talking about basketball. I'm

129
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: sorry to say it. The trade deadline is four days away.

130
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: This fan base has been force fed by the national media,

131
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: absolute Yannis fever, and I can't wait for Thursday at

132
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: noon in the center of the NFL world where this

133
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: entire city is going to be talking about whether they

134
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: did or did not get Yannis attended. Compole.

135
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: You think they're gonna get them? No? No, what would

136
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: they have to give up to get them?

137
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: All of it?

138
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: Everything?

139
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can tell you the deal.

140
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: The deal is you use Jimmy Butler's contract as the matcher.

141
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: But then if I'm Milwaukee, I say there's other contracts

142
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: I'd like to get rid of, be that Miles Turner

143
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: or Kyle Kuzma or whatever, and that on track gets

144
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: matched by whichever young player's Milwaukee wants. I would suggest

145
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: Jonathan Kaminga, Will Richard and Brandon Pajemski. But then we

146
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: get to the part that Milwaukee's really after four first

147
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: round draft picks and a pickswap. That's your deal. So

148
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: call it Janie and three and a half years of

149
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: Miles Turner in exchange for Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kaminga, Brandon Pajemski,

150
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: Will Richard for future first round unprotected picks and one pickswap.

151
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: You biten Bucks and are you biting Yannis?

152
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: I'm biting Bucks if but is Yannis biting? Yeah?

153
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 4: I think is gonna bite okay, because you get to

154
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 4: play with an all time great for two years. Uh

155
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: but I think uh, I think that's what he wants.

156
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: I think he wants. If you put Giannis and Steph

157
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 4: Curry in the pick and roll, I don't know how

158
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: you stop it.

159
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, now they have to play the whole game.

160
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 3: Uh stay healthy.

161
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: I mean stay healthy, not stop them or their knees

162
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: and their cabs anyway, go ahead.

163
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, But other than that, like, I don't I don't

164
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: see how you would even be able to stop that

165
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: that high pick and roll.

166
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy, I.

167
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: Mean it did, It's a pretty seems like a pretty

168
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: effective duoh. Yeah, to me, it's just kind of the

169
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: staying power of the whole thing. What's sustainable? Does Giannis

170
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: want to spend the next six years here when maybe

171
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: only half of it's with Steph and you.

172
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 5: Know all of that. But we we can get to that.

173
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 5: I know that we will.

174
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: But like, are you feeling kind of the same way

175
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: I am about this game? And again, I want to

176
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: I want to be mindful of the fact that yes

177
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: I'm here, uh in the Bay Area where the NBA

178
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: trade deadline is is story one, And part of that

179
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: is also because the Seahawks are playing the Patriots, and

180
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: I think Brea fans want to stick their head in

181
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: the sand on that.

182
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 5: But like, boy, I'm having a hard time finding the

183
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 5: kind of.

184
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: Buzz, excitement and kind of that chatter about this game.

185
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're waiting for Drake May's shoulder

186
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: to be okay or or what what have you. But

187
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: what what is your initial read.

188
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 5: On this matchup?

189
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 4: Initially it's ken New England proved to everyone that.

190
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 3: Their opponent schedules don't matter.

191
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: Can they okay? Can they prove that they're a good team?

192
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: Because no bad teams win the Super Bowl?

193
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: Right?

194
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 5: I don't even know if like bad teams don't go

195
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 5: to the Super.

196
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 4: Bowl, right right, So, but all we hear about is

197
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: what we hear about the strength of schedule, which is

198
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 4: the easiest in four hundred years or whatever whatever it is.

199
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: We hear they had to go through a backup quarterback

200
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 4: to get here. They had to play, you know, a

201
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 4: Texans team with c. J. Stroud who decided he didn't

202
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 4: want to play football anymore. So there's all there are

203
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: questions about, you know, their road to the Super Bowl.

204
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: And so for them, I believe it's more of it

205
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 4: doesn't matter who you line up against us, we're gonna win.

206
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 4: And this is an opportunity in this Super Bowl for

207
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: them to beat arguably the best team in the league

208
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: in terms of offensively and defensively.

209
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: So, you know, Seattle's role.

210
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: Was a little bit more contentious, sure, and proven so

211
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 4: for New England. With all that said, if they be

212
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 4: a team that had a war, because let's not forget

213
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 4: people including myself, were saying whoever won the NFC championship

214
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 4: game was gonna win the Super Bowl.

215
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 3: They've heard all of that. Yeah, no, it's not a secret.

216
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: This by the way, I just want to tell people

217
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: some of you have been around for a minute and

218
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: some of you haven't. Back in the day, early nineties,

219
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: there was an entire stretch, and it wasn't every year,

220
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: but this is what we did. NFC championship was the

221
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, and it was usually some form of the

222
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: Cowboys or the Niners or both that were doing whatever

223
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: they're doing in the NFC title game. The Giants moonlight

224
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: in there a little bit. It was kind of the

225
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: stretch where the Bills kept going to the Super Bowl

226
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: and losing even though a field goal gives them one

227
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: of those. But that was often the case. From this

228
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: is not that, no, I don't think no. I like

229
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: when I hear people go, oh, god, Seattle by a million,

230
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, eh, that's not how i've They might they

231
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: might win by a touchdown. Whatever. Again, I don't know

232
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: about Drake Man's shoulder right now. I'd like to hear more.

233
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: We'll get more information this week, maybe, but I don't.

234
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: I tend to never buy it when someone gets all

235
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: the way to the end and people go all their

236
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: schedule was easy.

237
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 5: Ah, that's a little flippy to get this.

238
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's tough because you play who you play right now.

239
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: There have been plenty of teams who've had terrible schedules

240
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 4: and having made the Super Bowl. So this a new coach,

241
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: a second year, second year quarterback. Uh, they spent a

242
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: bunch of new pieces. They spent the most I think

243
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: in the league in the offseason last year. So you

244
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 4: had to bring a new coach, new people, new players,

245
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: and a second year guy in and do the impossible.

246
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 4: And then they've been able to do that. So I'm

247
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: not going to discredit their journey and what they've what

248
00:13:59,240 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 4: they've gone through.

249
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: To get here.

250
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: They have had a week schedule, they have had some

251
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: breaks in the playoffs. They have, but for the most part,

252
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 4: they deserve to be here because they did what they beat.

253
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: The people in front of them.

254
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: They hear them, and it's not like i'd also I

255
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: would I would contend if that's where you're coming from,

256
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: then when they get a chance to go against a

257
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: good team, they would suddenly look they would look like frauds.

258
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: And that's not what's happened. This team played Buffalo twice.

259
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: They won once, they lost by four. The other time

260
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: they went into Baltimore late in the season and and

261
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: won that football game nobody else was beating the Houston

262
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: Texans over the last two months of the season, but

263
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: they did by double digits.

264
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 5: And I understand what happened with Denver.

265
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: I get it.

266
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 5: It was snowing and Jared Stidham was the quarterback. I

267
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: get it.

268
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: But they fell down by seven points against that really

269
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: good defense. They should have kicked a damn few. Boy,

270
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: we probably should have a conversation.

271
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: Good lord, I just thought about you. I was like,

272
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: here we go.

273
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 5: I think about you every time.

274
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: That's it. Here we go, here we go. You know what?

275
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: And actually, coming up next, let's dive a little further

276
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: into this because I think there are two tipping points

277
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: that have arrived in professional sports. One is football, one

278
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: is not. But two major tipping points have arrived because

279
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: of things that have unfolded just in the last three weeks.

280
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: So we can we can get to that. I'm glad

281
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: you're with us. Just stay with me when I ask

282
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: you this question. Okay, have you ever wiped with a

283
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: piece of dry toilet paper and wondered is this as

284
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: good as it gets?

285
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: Say what?

286
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: It's not a switch to life changing wet extra large

287
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: flushable dude wipes because wetter, just cleans better.

288
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,400

324
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: we thank you so very much. To me, two things

325
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 2: have probably hit some sort of a tipping point. I

326
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: don't know exactly how it's gonna unfold, but a tipping

327
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: point you just touched on one of them. I think

328
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: there's going to be a backlash to the backlash. There

329
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: used to be a backlash with conservative play calling go

330
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: for it, go for it, and then analytics took over,

331
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: and now everybody's going for it. And I've never heard

332
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: more people more NFL fans in my life get mad

333
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: at coaches for not kicking field goals. But we've moved

334
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: into an offseason where just about everybody I know thinks

335
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: that Sean Payton cost his team a potential trip to

336
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: the super Bowl by not kicking an easy three and

337
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: taking a double digit lead in the first half.

338
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 5: So I think it's gonna be different next year.

339
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 3: It has to be.

340
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 4: I mean, eventually, these coaches, they're going to learn. We've

341
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: seen the rise and demise of Dan Campbell and his

342
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 4: decision making in games that will send you to the

343
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: super Bowl. You have to know, and I know Sean.

344
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 4: You have to know, as Sean Payton with a backup

345
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 4: quarterback at home, you know what the weather is going

346
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: to turn into because you live there, right, You have

347
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 4: been prepared, They've You've had conversations about this.

348
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: All week. You have to know.

349
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 4: In this type of game with a guy who hasn't

350
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 4: played since twenty twenty three, I believe every single point

351
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 4: is paramount. If you're up by two scores early in

352
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 4: the game at home and inclement weather is coming you

353
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: with with the number two defense in the league, that's

354
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: the conversation that needed to be had in his head

355
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: or with his advisors whoever was in the earphones, going yet,

356
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 4: let's do it. That's any call the time out, and

357
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: then assessed and went back like, no, that's what I

358
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: would have said. So no, no, no, let's get this three.

359
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: Let's be up ten to nothing. Uh good kickoff. Let

360
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 4: our defense go to work. You know, second half, we're

361
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 4: not going to be able to see the field. And

362
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 4: he would have been like, you're right, let's get to

363
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: take the three. That changes the whole complexity of the

364
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: game by a mile.

365
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 2: Well, here, you just brought up for me. What is

366
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: question number one? And you know this professional sports teams.

367
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: When we hear fans talk about analytics, I wonder how

368
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: many of you listening to us know millions upon millions

369
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: upon millions of dollars and unbelievable levels of technology are

370
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 2: spent by professional sports teams now on analytics millions. They

371
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: have entire departments that are dedicated to.

372
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: Does with glasses just locked in a room.

373
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: The most unbelievable depth of information you could ever imagine.

374
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 2: And I watched that football game. I don't know this

375
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: thought crossed your mind. I'm like, you mean to tell

376
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: me that that department, the Broncos department, probably knows which

377
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: shoe trade meon Henderson ties first back when he was

378
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: eight years old.

379
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 5: But they don't know it's gonna snow in the second half.

380
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: You cannot convince me that that level of information is

381
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: available to teams, but you're just out here winging it

382
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: with something as simple as the weather. No, that overwhelmed

383
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: my mind that night. How can you be that in

384
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 2: depth and not know that it's gonna blizzard in the

385
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: second half.

386
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: I audibly gasped. I was because clutch your pearls moment,

387
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, what.

388
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 5: A ten point lead?

389
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 2: Was?

390
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 5: Gold?

391
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: Gold? Gold? Gold.

392
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: So my sentiments are you get what you get.

393
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: You sure do, except for its pro sports, so you

394
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: can get upset the old saying you get what you get,

395
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: don't get upset. No, they all got upset. I don't

396
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: know if y'all. I bet everybody noticed that. The Denver Broncos, Oh,

397
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: they kind of started all throwing stones at each other.

398
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 5: H Over.

399
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: Since that loss, you got Sean Payton out here firing.

400
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: People start talking about the inevitability of bo.

401
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: Nix's surgeries and injuries, and then.

402
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: Bo's like, Sean probably shouldn't be talking about my surgeries

403
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: and my injuries.

404
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: And I was like, WHOA, it falls apart fast, don't it.

405
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: WHOA?

406
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 5: This real feel good story just took a turn.

407
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 3: Don't it fall apart? Fast?

408
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: Fast?

409
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 4: One decision can crumble that thing. There's a guy in

410
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 4: Buffalo of a job.

411
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 2: Bro.

412
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 5: A third of the league got fired.

413
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

414
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: A third of the league got fired.

415
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: Seven jobs last year in this year.

416
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: My gosh, my gosh.

417
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: You know who has a job who hasn't been fired.

418
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 4: We will get fired if we don't bring this man in.

419
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 4: That's Steve no trade clause to say bring him out,

420
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 4: bring him out.

421
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 8: You're very kind, but completely mistaken. There is no such clause.

422
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: The uh should be that way.

423
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 8: While we are talking about this game, specifically Denver, which

424
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 8: amazingly was only seven days ago, doesn't seem like a

425
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 8: lot longer ago than this. Really New England won the

426
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 8: AFC Championship in that bad weather game, as it turned out,

427
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 8: ten to seven at Denver. Now, the word analytics is

428
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 8: used these days as a catch all, usually by people

429
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 8: for I hate stats or I hate people who like stats.

430
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 8: They don't actually know the analytics every time they rail

431
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 8: against the analytics. And Greg Olsen, who's one of the

432
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 8: great TV football analysts, did point out after hearing Mark

433
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 8: Schlarath sometimes a Neanderthal, speaking, if I hate analytics, I

434
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 8: hate all the analytics people.

435
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 9: I don't like the nerds.

436
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 8: You know, what are they doing going forward on the

437
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 8: You know Olsen's response that day was the irony.

438
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 9: Here is the quote.

439
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 8: Analytics actually said kick, but that's not as fun, I

440
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 8: guess end quote. The Broncos in the first half went

441
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 8: for it on fourth and one in the red zone

442
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 8: through incomplete, got no points, lost by three and Drake May,

443
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 8: you guys brought up the schedule they've had. They've played

444
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 8: good defenses and the passing game has not been there,

445
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 8: and they keep advancing through every round. Drake May had

446
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 8: eighty six yards passing in that game, was sacked five

447
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 8: more times. In the previous game when they ended the

448
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 8: Texans ten game winning streak, he had three touchdown passes,

449
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 8: but three turnovers as well and was sacked five times.

450
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 8: And then when they the home game against the Chargers,

451
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 8: it was only nine to three in the fourth quarter

452
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 8: and May finish with one touchdown pass, two turnovers, sacked

453
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 8: five times. The one great thing is he can run,

454
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 8: and he's been running. And at Denver first seven carries

455
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 8: of the game, the quarterback had sixty eight yards rushing

456
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 8: at a touchdown. His running back Ramandre Stevenson. It took

457
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 8: him twenty five carries to get seventy one yards rushing,

458
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 8: so in a game that had a combined fourteen punts

459
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 8: in the game, Drake May's team advances again. If Seattle

460
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 8: can just play its normally good defensive game and get

461
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 8: the pressure on May that he has seen from other

462
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 8: good defenses this postseason, if they can keep the quarterback

463
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 8: of New England to thirty forty yards rushing and not

464
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 8: sixty seventy yards rushing. I'm tempted to say out loud,

465
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 8: how does Seattle lose this game? And the only quick

466
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 8: answer I can is if Sam Darnold turns into a

467
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 8: turnover machine again. But that is the matchup of New

468
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 8: England at Seattle a week from today. By the way,

469
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 8: Seattle did win its game against the Rams last weekend

470
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 8: for the NFC Crown thirty one twenty seven, and Darnold

471
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 8: was superb nearly three hundred and fifty yards passing three touchdowns.

472
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 8: And while we had the game at Denver with almost

473
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 8: no offense, it was twenty five drives total and twenty

474
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 8: three first downs. Then we got the Rams at Seattle game,

475
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 8: which had a combine fifty first downs and Matthew Stafford

476
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 8: in defeat, threw for almost three hundred and seventy five

477
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 8: yards and three touchdown passes. But the Rams two big

478
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 8: bugaboos in that game. First off, the third down conversions

479
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 8: were awful one for eight, and yet again special teams.

480
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 8: It's the one thing that kept the Rams from being

481
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 8: the best team in the NFL this year. If they

482
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 8: had cleaned that up, without a doubt, the Rams would

483
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 8: be the number one team in the NFL this year.

484
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 8: It's why they lost at Philly. It's why they lost

485
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 8: on the punt return at Seattle late season. Of course,

486
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 8: they fumbled a punt guy thinking he can return. It's

487
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 8: in the NFC title game and they lose by four.

488
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 8: By the way, the Super Bowl matchup has only one

489
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 8: First Team AP All Pro player at its Seahawks wide

490
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 8: receiver Jackson Smith injigmut. Now, this is a guy who

491
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 8: in the regular season had one hundred and nineteen catches.

492
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 8: So yeah, he's the first player since Jerry Rice to

493
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 8: be leading the NFL in receiving yards while playing for

494
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 8: the one seed in his conference. But incredibly impressive to

495
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 8: me JSN is he's known first player in the Super

496
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 8: Bowl era to lead the league in receiving yards while

497
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 8: he's playing for an offense that ranks bottom three in

498
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 8: pass play percentage that year. They do not sling it

499
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 8: around the yard normally. They had two healthy running backs

500
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 8: during the season and used him, and yet this guy

501
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 8: had nearly eighteen hundred yards receiving. The only other Super

502
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 8: Bowls since the merger where we've had only one or

503
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 8: fewer All pros on the field nineteen seventy and it

504
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 8: was Chuck Halle Cowboys linebacker, and nineteen eighty two and

505
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 8: it was the kicker for Washington, Mark Moseley.

506
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 9: All Pro.

507
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 8: Do not be confused. It's not Pro Bowl. All Pro

508
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 8: is both conferences combined. There is one All Pro first

509
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 8: team AP player in this matchup. Now to the NBA,

510
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 8: We've got a game going on in New York. That's

511
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 8: at halftime. Lakers are leading the next fifty six fifty two.

512
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 8: Luka Donsich with eighteen points in the first half. Among

513
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 8: the earlier games at Boston, Jalen Brown thirty points and

514
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 8: thirteen rebounds as the Celtics rit Milwaukee one oh seven

515
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 8: seventy nine. Just saying the word Milwaukee, I'm obligated to

516
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 8: say and the NBA trade deadline is Thursday. Home games

517
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 8: for Detroit in Miami. They each won at home and

518
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 8: also Washington won at home, beating Sacramento won sixteen to

519
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 8: one to twelve despite thirty five points from Zach Lavine

520
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 8: College hoops number nine illinoisl winner at number five Nebraska

521
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 8: seventy eight sixty nine. There's an NHL outdoor game going

522
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 8: on right now at Tampa Bay. I don't know if

523
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 8: you saw, but pregame the hockey team, the lightning was

524
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 8: dressed completely in the creamsicle Tampa Bay Bucks football uniforms

525
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 8: to walk to the Tampa Bay Bucks Stadium where they

526
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 8: have the sheet of ice on top of the football field.

527
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 8: They're playing this outdoor game with temperature in the low forties.

528
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 8: It is the Boston Bruins in the lead at Tampa

529
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 8: Bay five to two in the second period. And finally,

530
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 8: the NFL new is the Arizona Cardinals new head coach

531
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 8: Mike Lafleur from the Rams. The Raiders are expected to

532
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 8: hire Seattle offensive quarter Clint Kubiak as head coach after

533
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl. The forty nine ers new defensive coordinator,

534
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 8: apparently Raheem Morris, the former Falcons head coach, and the

535
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 8: dolphins new defensive coordinator will reportedly be Sean Duggan from

536
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 8: the Packers.

537
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 5: Back to you, Steve, great stuff. Appreciate it.

538
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: Lots to chew on there, including those coaches he just

539
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: mentioned at the end. There's a fight online going on,

540
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: and isn't there always? But some are calling it the

541
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: McVeigh coaching tree, and others are calling it the Shanahan

542
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: coaching tree, and it's really the same tree, uh quite frankly,

543
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 2: because both of those guys, so did Rahee Morris. By

544
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: the way, they all came up together. So anyone with

545
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: the last name Lafleur, anyone with the last name Kubiak,

546
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: and you could really trace this to their dads too,

547
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: Mike Shanahan and Gary Kubiak, and but all the Lafloors

548
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: and all the Kubiaks and the Shanahans and the mcveigh's,

549
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: and you can look all up and down the league.

550
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 5: We joked that, you know, I mean, the third of

551
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 5: the league got fired.

552
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: At least of the third of the league right now

553
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: is being coached by this tree.

554
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 5: And you know, I guess why not.

555
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: Coming from the NFC West, which had three teams with

556
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: twelve wins or more. A tree you know, well, yeah, yeah,

557
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: you know very well.

558
00:30:53,720 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 4: That tree is serious. I just I love the I

559
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 4: love the level of knowledge on that tree. And you know,

560
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 4: when you say stuff like the apple doesn't fall far,

561
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 4: it's just not blood relatives. It's you know, you learn

562
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 4: the nuance of play calling a football, of defense, of

563
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 4: getting the upper end at its core offense and defense

564
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: at its core. It's trying to get an advantage offensively.

565
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get you on a defense that I

566
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 4: can take advantage of. Defensively, I'm trying to disguise and

567
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: make you think that I'm doing one thing and do another.

568
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 4: It's all to get the upper hand. And when you

569
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 4: have these type of prolific you know, coaching trees, they've

570
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 4: all studied under the senseis right, Like, so.

571
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: You like rosal ghoul.

572
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 4: Of of of play calling, this is one of those things,

573
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 4: is like all right, you know it's it's it's intense,

574
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: but I love it because it brings such a youthful

575
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: energy to the league. Right, It's it brings a new

576
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I remember when they first started, when Kyle

577
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 4: first started doing read options. I'm like, what the I

578
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 4: don't remember that in the Denver offense right right, RPOs

579
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 4: and stuff like that, And it's just the evolution of

580
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: great football. Min Mike McDaniel. He used to fill our

581
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 4: playbooks with the plays right and hand them out to us,

582
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 4: put them in our locker and collect them. And I

583
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 4: told Mike, I told Mike O six, I said, you know,

584
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna end up running running the league one day,

585
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 4: because that's how meticulous he was with the attention to

586
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 4: detail and stuff like that. So for me, you could

587
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: see it on him. All he wanted to do was

588
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 4: learn and sit in the corner and suck it up

589
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 4: like a sponge.

590
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: You know.

591
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: It was one of those situations where.

592
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: You can see, you know, you can see the people

593
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 4: who who are invested in this thing. And so now

594
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 4: you punt those trees and here we go. We got

595
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 4: a whole forest of great minds all over the place.

596
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: Man all over the place. McDaniel's another name that you

597
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: just mentioned. Even though he lost his gig, he's gonna

598
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: be running the Chargers and working with Justin Herbert. Boy.

599
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Charger fans should be a static.

600
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, I agree. I think that's a that's a

601
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 2: dark horse situation. Next year, for.

602
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 3: Sure they're gonna be slaying that thing around.

603
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: All right. So we're in the Fox Sports Radio studios

604
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 2: and there's so much to get to us.

605
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 5: We get ready for the Super.

606
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: Bowl, the NBA trade deadline, will continue to try to

607
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: see if we can get Ephraim to talk in the

608
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: middle of a Laker game.

609
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 5: I know that's probably yeah, I'm sorry, Hello, did I

610
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 5: say you know anything?

611
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lakers at Madison Square Garden right now. So we

612
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: got that, and then I got to pay the rest

613
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: of this off. I said there were two tipping points,

614
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: and I mentioned one of them is the field goal thing.

615
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: One of them is not from football at all, and

616
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 2: I'll bring that up coming up next to marketing from

617
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio.

618
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

619
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: Okay, we're sitting here live in these Fox Sports Radio studios.

620
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: That's say from salam My Mark Willard. And we don't

621
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: need to belabor this point because I don't think it's

622
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 2: where most people's heads are at right now, but they

623
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 2: will be later this year. As a follower, a coverer,

624
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 2: a fan of the San Francisco Giants, I wanted to

625
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: let you know, Ephraim, I've come to terms with the

626
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: Dodger signing Kyle Tucker to a quarter of billion dollars.

627
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 5: Okay, do you want to know why I've come in

628
00:34:59,360 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 5: terms with it?

629
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: Though, tipping point, based on the conversations I've had, based

630
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: on the reading that I've done, based on my sort

631
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: of like t Leave's opinion, that was the straw that

632
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: broke the camel's back. That was the deal that's gonna

633
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: get enough other owners this offseason to say it is

634
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 2: like I mean, and again, it's no shade at the Dodgers.

635
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: They've done it well. They've done it better than anybody else.

636
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 2: They've done it within the rules. They've done all the

637
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: things that all the other teams and all the other

638
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: fans wish their teams would do. But at a certain point,

639
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: I sort of look at what's happening in baseball is

640
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: kind of like the way you used to be allowed

641
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: to hit the quarterback. It's fair, like why does the

642
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: quarterback get special rules? Well, because at a certain point

643
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: the league goes, you know what sucks is when our

644
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: quarterbacks are all hurt, So we better do this for

645
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: the betterment of our overall product, and that's what baseball

646
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 2: will do too, and it will probably be some form

647
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: of a salary cap, salary floor. I think some of

648
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 2: next season will get missed because of labor disagreement all

649
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: of that stuff.

650
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 5: It's going to be a rough and tumble year. It's

651
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 5: going to be a really bad fight.

652
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 2: But when I saw that, like players from around the

653
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: league started speaking up and going, well, this is just like,

654
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: I don't know how you would like us to beat

655
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: that team.

656
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 5: This isn't like we'll go play.

657
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: But that's as kind of silly, right, And so the

658
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: league will make changes. The NBA made changes when the

659
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: Warriors signed Kevin Durant, they made changes. We're gonna do

660
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: aprons and luxury a tack penalties and all these things.

661
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 2: So doing that anymore. So same thing here, tipping point.

662
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: And it's probably a good thing for baseball as a

663
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: whole that the Dodgers did that, because come on, there

664
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: needs to be some sort of competitive balance.

665
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he look, this is what I would say. What

666
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 4: you're gonna say, I would say, get it while the

667
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 4: getting is good, open up the pocketbooks, throw extra twenty.

668
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 3: On on a player if you want them. That's what

669
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 3: I would.

670
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 5: Do you're saying that's all the teams.

671
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: Yes, see, I wonder if right now they're not anticipating

672
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: I'm watching some teams this offseason really change. Well, they

673
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: don't want to do a long They're like short term

674
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 2: deals only please, because if they do long term agreement

675
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 2: and then the rules change, you could end up in

676
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: a real spending freeze, right, you could like if this happens,

677
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are gonna have a problem in two years.

678
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: They're like they're gonna have like because they'll they'll literally

679
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: just be there'll be nothing but tax and so I

680
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 2: I see teams, it feels like potentially getting ready for that.

681
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 5: What it looks like to me.

682
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 4: Look, I'm you know, I'm a Dodger fan, So I'm

683
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 4: like running.

684
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 5: Up, Well, yeah, you'll get while the getting's good.

685
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 4: Absolutely, how many rings you want to row for?

686
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 3: Four would be great, But.

687
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: You know, it's lower like when the battle lose the

688
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: war thing, I think for fans of other teams, because

689
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 2: it's just like, what the hell is everybody supposed to

690
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: do about this? You know?

691
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you to me point, that's all.

692
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 5: I think. It's a deal that we're going to remember

693
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 5: years from now.

694
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 4: I get it, and you know, conventionally you would be

695
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: like okay, but you gotta realize, like some teams, the

696
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 4: floor is the thing that has to happen absolutely, whether

697
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 4: they put a cap on it, you gotta have a

698
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 4: floor because this underspending is out of control.

699
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 5: And that's way worse.

700
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 4: You're not way worse. It's worse for the fans, is

701
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 4: worse for the sport, all of it.

702
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: The Dodgers headlines, they'll grab the headlines, they'll force the issue,

703
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: but like the A's are way more offensive than the Dodgers.

704
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you have the white Sox, that's like, what

705
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 3: are we doing?

706
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

707
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 4: Well, that's the insulting part for me. It's like, okay, yeah,

708
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 4: you can run, you can. If they're gonna come and

709
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 4: you can pay them, then pay them. But don't not

710
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 4: pay people for whatever reason. It's not like you're trying

711
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 4: to get a great draft. But it's not like the

712
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 4: NFL where if you have the worst record, you're going

713
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 4: to get the number one pick in the draft and

714
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 4: that could change your whole franchise and.

715
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 5: You're a thousand percent right, You're a thousand percent right,

716
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 5: all right.

717
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: Mark Willardy from Salam, I gotta Sam Darnold question for

718
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: you coming up next.

719
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

720
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 5: I mean I'm thinking.

721
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 2: Probably about third quarter this time next week. Third quarter

722
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: of that football game is about where will be the

723
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: last football game of the twenty twenty five NFL season.

724
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: And we're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios,

725
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: looking ahead, thinking about it all as we get ready

726
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: and as we spend our first Sunday without football in

727
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 2: about four or five months. Really really glad you're with us.

728
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: I got a Sam Donald question for you, and I'm

729
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: going to loop all the teams into this, even though

730
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 2: I think the situations are different. But let me ask

731
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 2: you this in the wake of the way Sam Donald

732
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: is playing, because as the Sega mentioned earlier, Donald isn't

733
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 2: just in the Super Bowl my man with an oblique injury,

734
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: crushed it in the NFC title game. He was fantastic

735
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 2: in that football game. I thought so incumbent upon all

736
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 2: of the teams who have had Sam Donald in their

737
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: quarterback room wearing their jersey to ask the question of, like,

738
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: how does the way he's playing now make those teams

739
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 2: look so who kind of has the egg on their

740
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: face the most in Sam Donald's career. This is his

741
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: fifth football team, So Jets, Panthers, Niners, Vikings.

742
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 4: That was chronological, right for that's a great question. And

743
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 4: for me, it starts with the Jets. It starts with

744
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 4: the Jets. The Jets because they didn't create an environment

745
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 4: to nurture and pull out his ability, which he obviously has.

746
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 4: And it's the Jets because they've done that to every

747
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 4: single quarterback that they've ever had outside of Broadway Joe,

748
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 4: and so it has to start with them. But then

749
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 4: the eggs also on the face of the Minnesota Vikings.

750
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 4: You had a sure thing in the building, and you

751
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 4: got a a guy, a young guy on a rookie

752
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 4: contract who may or may not be weak. I still

753
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 4: don't know what the quarterback he's gonna end up being.

754
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 4: But you had years, you had time to figure that out. Yeah, well, no,

755
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 4: you do, because you look what happened with what Jordan

756
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 4: Love Okay, Aaron Rodgers.

757
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay, it's okay. I mean that's a fair point.

758
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want Sam, you had to do

759
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 2: three years.

760
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it.

761
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 4: That's fine. Three years, that's fine. You don't lose anything.

762
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 4: You don't lose anything unless which I'm not sure they did.

763
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 4: Unless they thought JJ McCarthy was the guy. Well, and

764
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 4: that's not the sense I get from no from them

765
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 4: at all.

766
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 5: Listen.

767
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 2: I think that you can see when a team is

768
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: not aligned, and I think that this is probably one

769
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: of those situations where the football people thought and saw

770
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 2: one thing and the ownership people thought and saw something different.

771
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 2: It's like, you're not you're not putting that kind of

772
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 2: reason into a young player and then not playing him

773
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 2: right and and so you know, look, I think I agree.

774
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 5: I agree with the way you lay that out.

775
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: Let's start with the Jets and and think about how

776
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 2: poorly things are run to where the best thing we

777
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 2: got out of Donald as a Jet was a cool

778
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: quote where he was seeing ghosts ghosts, and that's that's

779
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: all we got. But the rest of the league you

780
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 2: could tell and you heard whispers and coaches would say it.

781
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: They're like, no, he's still got arm talent. He's got

782
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: arm talent. You just got to see about a situation.

783
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 2: But you want to know who like while everyone it's

784
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 2: easy to point laugh for the Jets, and it's super

785
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 2: easy to criticize the Vikings and the Niners over here

786
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: sort of get a pass because he really never even

787
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 2: played for them, and their quarterback is also good.

788
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 5: And I think that.

789
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 2: I mean that year that Sam Donald was there, they

790
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 2: went to a Super Bowl, So like, what are you, like,

791
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? You know, you know, like

792
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 2: that that's not something the Niners could have done. Can

793
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 2: we have a different conversation though about the Panthers? Yeah,

794
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 2: I mean, like you're gonna bring Sam Donald and Baker

795
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 2: Mayfield in in the same year for no reason and

796
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 2: for no reason, and then while both of them are there,

797
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: they're winning the job, they're losing the job. They're trading

798
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: back and forth, and and now both of them, I know,

799
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 2: Baker's not in it this year, but Baker Mayfield. Hell,

800
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 2: a month and a half into the season, we're like,

801
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: that might be the MVP. And now here's Sam Donald

802
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: and the super Bowl. These guys were both there, they're

803
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: both there, and they kicked them both out, and now

804
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: they're gonna pick up a fifty.

805
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 5: Year option on I know, well he had his best year.

806
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, up, I guess. But eventually you got to make

807
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 3: a decision, right, Yeah, I mean you gotta be like, hey,

808
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 3: that would be next year. Yeah, okay, I mean, you.

809
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 4: Know, look shout out to that young man for playing

810
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 4: and playing himself into a chance because they were like, Okay,

811
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 4: this is not gonna work. I still don't think he's

812
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 4: an NFL starting quarterback. Size matters, that's a real thing,

813
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 4: and it'll it'll be more and more difficult for him

814
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 4: because he's not growing anymore, not that I know of,

815
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 4: So he'll be put in a position where he'll constantly

816
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 4: not be able to see over his offensive line and

817
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 4: so on and so forth. So it's just a situation where, look,

818
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 4: does he have talent? Yeah, anybody who gets drafted into

819
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 4: the NFL has talent. Does he have enough talent to

820
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 4: be a starting quarterback? And the price that comes with that?

821
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 4: That answer is easier for me to answer, And that's

822
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 4: a no. That's what it build boils down to.

823
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 2: Right.

824
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's not talented. I'm not saying that.

825
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is he doesn't have enough talent. In

826
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 4: my opinion, our size are intangibles to be a starting

827
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 4: quarterback and garner that level of pay.

828
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 3: That's it.

829
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 4: And yeah, and and and others have gotten it, and

830
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 4: they didn't deserve it. But this is an experiment that's

831
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 4: been going on for going into five years now. And

832
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 4: unless they win the division, win a playoff game, those

833
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,959
Speaker 4: two things happened this year.

834
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 3: Damn near did.

835
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they're the lead against the Rams with a

836
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: minute to go, you know, and they did win the division.

837
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 2: And I think that division is now currently that division

838
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 2: is causing those teams that are in it to aim

839
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 2: too low.

840
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 5: That's what's happening.

841
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 2: So you like, to me, you're watching four football teams

842
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 2: that right now, let's talk about the quarterback position. I

843
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 2: think Baker Mayfield's a good player, but in that division

844
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 2: he's a damn star. And then what's happening everywhere else, Like, okay,

845
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 2: let's pick up Bryce Young's option, Let's act like Tyler

846
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 2: Shuck is Rookie of the year, and Atlanta's over here

847
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: going yeah, like, let's cut, let's let's let's let's cut

848
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins in what has been the weirdest I've said

849
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: this to you so many times, the weirdest quarterback handling

850
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 2: I think I've ever seen in my lifetime. To draft

851
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: somebody and then sign Kirk Cousins to that much money

852
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 2: and now they'll cut Kirk Cousins and they'll go back

853
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,479
Speaker 2: to a coming off of injury, Michael Pennix, who, while

854
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 2: it's very early, has never looked like anything more than

855
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: just slightly above. Okay, I wouldn't cut Kirk cous Well,

856
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 2: that's the word. Yeah, I like so No. So part

857
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,959
Speaker 2: of the problem is is I think that those teams

858
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: are trying to win the division instead of trying to

859
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 2: be great.

860
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 4: Yes, they're settling, which is crazy to say, for just

861
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 4: an opportunity to win the division.

862
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 3: Yep, But I mean when you do that in a.

863
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 4: Division that bad, you're just settling for mediocrity, like you're

864
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 4: you're not you're not trying to win the number one seed.

865
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 3: You're not trying to you know, win thirteen fourteen games.

866
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 5: They're not trying to win.

867
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 3: You've nine gets you in. You aiming for nine?

868
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 2: Well and eight or nine gets you in and oh,

869
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 2: by the way, it gets you in when over a

870
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 2: third of your schedule is against those teams, those teams,

871
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 2: so you by definition already have an easy schedule and

872
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 2: there still can't get to ten wins.

873
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're aiming too low.

874
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 3: Just imagine if let me see what.

875
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 4: Let me see, let's just say, for the sake of argument,

876
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 4: this will never happen. But Baltimore was like, you know

877
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 4: what we want to trade. We want to trade Lamar

878
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 4: and he goes to Atlanta.

879
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 3: Oh god, right, yeah, you want to talk about a

880
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 3: runaway train.

881
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 4: It would be like Tom Brady in the AFC North

882
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 4: for ten years.

883
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 5: Yes it would, Yes, it would. They would be an overwhelming.

884
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 3: Favorite every single year.

885
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 2: It's one of those teams needs to do is get

886
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 2: that get that position.

887
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 5: Right, and the Bucks kind of habit.

888
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 2: But even that is like, I mean, they didn't even

889
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 2: they didn't even win nine games.

890
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 4: Right, And I'm and I'm not Look, I just threw

891
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 4: that name out there as a hypothetical. I'm not saying

892
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 4: that that's an option or that could happen. I'm just

893
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 4: saying someone of that caliber mm hmm, Right, Joe Burrow

894
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 4: ends up in New Orleans. Now it's like, oh wait

895
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 4: a minute, that's twelve thirteen win team.

896
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 3: Yep.

897
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 4: But that's what I would be trying to do, because

898
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 4: I would be trying to do those type of things.

899
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 5: There just isn't I mean, there's nothing available.

900
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 2: No, there's not, like the two biggest names if you're

901
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 2: like looking at quarterbacks and it's not the direct aft.

902
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 2: The two most intriguing things this offseason are Malik Willis

903
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: and Mac Jones.

904
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 5: And I'm like, I'm out, I'm out.

905
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 2: I've told you this, this whole debate that rages through

906
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: here about who should they trade Mac Jones or not.

907
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, they're not going to get a great offer

908
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 2: for mac Jones. I don't think I could. Boy, I

909
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: might be wrong, but there'd be a terrible trade for

910
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,479
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers unless somebody comes with at least

911
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,919
Speaker 2: a second round pick. And I don't think anyone's gonna

912
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,439
Speaker 2: do that for mac Jones. No, I don't think so either,

913
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: and make them their starter.

914
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 3: I played well enough to get an opportunity, though he has.

915
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 2: But now, now make yourself a fan for a second.

916
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 2: You're a fan for a team and the team goes

917
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 2: We've made the move. We have given up our second

918
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 2: round draft pick, and Mac Jones is our starter next year.

919
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 5: How do you feel exactly?

920
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: And that's what no one understands. I feel like when

921
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 2: they just you look at the stats and you're like, oh,

922
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 2: he went five and three, like he looked super competent,

923
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 2: that's not That's not how you bring in a new

924
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 2: franchise QB and get your team and your fan base.

925
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 2: Yeah no, you just like what so he could go

926
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 2: somewhere where there's like a battle for the gig, you know,

927
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 2: or high level backup? Do you want to go pluck

928
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 2: him into you want to throw him to Houston so

929
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 2: that they feel ready If c J. Stroud keeps looking awful,

930
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 2: they got a pretty good backup already too.

931
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 3: I'm trading CJ. Stroud to the Rams?

932
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 5: Who to the Rams? To the Rams? Want CJ. Stroud?

933
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear about that.

934
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,959
Speaker 4: Why depends on if Matt Stafford is deciding to stay

935
00:53:59,040 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 4: or go.

936
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:00,440

1022
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 2: For me, it was my then eighteen year old son,

1023
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 2: he's now nineteen, and he's sitting on the couch and

1024
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 2: he's doing what they do, and just scrolling through that phone, Dad, Yeah,

1025
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 2: Luca got traded to the Lakers. I'm like, that's not real.

1026
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's not real. There's no way that's real.

1027
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 2: And there's all that, like this will happen at least

1028
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: once twice a month, you know, Like I can remember, gosh,

1029
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 2: a handful of weeks ago, my wife says to me, Hey,

1030
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 2: what happened with and I'm trying to remember which coach

1031
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 2: it was? Is one of the white coaches in the NFL.

1032
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 2: She's like, hey, he got caught sending out racist stuff. Huh.

1033
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm like I had been like John Harbaugh or something.

1034
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, what, I'm like, what are you talking about?

1035
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 2: And you know that like if you just on social media,

1036
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 2: it's a parody account. Take this or whatever. It's all

1037

Speaker 2: over Facebook or TikTok or whatever, and so they get you.

1038
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 2: And so when my son said that to me, I'm like, oh,

1046
01:00:55,960 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 2: my head of a more like surprising trade, honestly, like

Speaker 5: That's the winner for me.

1051
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,439
Speaker 2: I cannot think of something that surprised me more than

1052
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 2: that transaction.

1053
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 4: That was so out of nowhere that it was like, holy,

1054
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:31,919
Speaker 4: it was hard to believe. Yep, it was great for me. Yes,

1055
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 4: the rest of the league hated it, but for me,

1056
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 4: it was amazing.

1057
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 10: I don't know the rest, like Dallas hated it, but

1058
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 10: the rest of the league did because the other teams

1059
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 10: didn't get a chance to bid, Like you could have

1060
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 10: got a lion's haul for Luca if you knew he

1061
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 10: was I don't.

1062
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,800

01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 2: there's no, they don't owe that to the league.

1177
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 8: who was watching the final from the front row in Melbourne,

1178
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 8: is one of those rare men's players who has won

1180
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 8: also on the list, but Alcarez the youngest and the

1181
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 8: guy he beat in four sets in today's final is

1182
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 8: Novak Djokovic, who has twenty four career Grand Slam titles.

1183
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 8: If he had won today and he took the first set,

1184
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 8: if he had won, it would have been a twenty

1185
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 8: fifth and that would have set the all stump, the

1186
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 8: all time record for total Grand Slam titles. Before today,

1187
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 8: Djokovic at the Australian when he won the first set

1188
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 8: of a match, had a record of ninety three and two.

1189
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 8: And still Alcarez, amazing as he is, comes back to win.

1190
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 8: And this is a guy who in the Semis had

1191
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 8: won a five setter that went about five and a

1192
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 8: half hours, and that qualifies him for a final against Djokovic,

1193
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 8: one of the all time greats who had been in

1194
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 8: ten finals at Melbourne Park over the years and gone

1195
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 8: ten to zero in the Australian Final and still a

1196
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:51,839
Speaker 8: comeback win for the amazing Carlos Alcarez. And I'm tempted

1197
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 8: to say the career is just getting going back to you.

1198
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 5: Ooof yeah, that was that was a doozy.

1202
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? But yeah, that thing went deep,

1203
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 2: deep into the night. All right, great stuff, Steve, Thank

1204

1206
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 2: to get your expertise on this just because we talked about,

1207
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 2: you know, Shanahan.

1208
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 5: And McVeigh and the tree and all of that.

1209
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 2: What's your thought on Raheem Morris as the replacement for

1210
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 2: Robert Salad defensive coordinator forty nine ers.

1211
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 3: I think that's a good move.

1212
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 4: I think, you know, number number one, Robert sala is

1213
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 4: amazing to be able to do what he's he did

1214
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 4: with with what he had, and I still think the

1215
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 4: Jets made a mistake by fire.

1216
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, still.

1217
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 4: But I think, you know, you need that that that

1218
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 4: level of energy and fire that he has, and I

1219
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be great for the Niners.

1220
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 5: Apparently.

1221
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 2: He and Kyle Shanahan also like they have known each

1222
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,519

1223
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,760

1299
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 2: Like is someone making money off?

1300
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 7: This?

1301
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,760

Speaker 5: The Pro Bowl games?

1304
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 3: Tough sale?

1305
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's no different than And there's another one

1306
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 2: this year every February. Every March, here's a new football league.

1307
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 2: And they start advertising in December, coming in March, and

1308
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 2: then it's a football league and I'm like, do you

1309
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 2: all you all know that's not gonna work, right.

1310
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 3: There's a new league.

1311
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: They do this every year, and I know exactly where

1312
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 2: it comes from. It's not that people are aspirational. It's

1313
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 2: not that people have a new spin on it. It's

1314
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 2: not that people have a new idea. It's that and

1315
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 2: you know this better than anyone one with what you

1316
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 2: do in the entertainment world. It is executives in the

1317
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 2: world of entertainment who are trying to figure out, how

1318
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 2: can we grab the millions upon millions upon millions of

1319
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:22,759
Speaker 2: people that statistically depart when football stops. They depart, They depart,

1320
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 2: they're gone, They leave their TVs, they leave their screens,

1321
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 2: their iPads, their lap they leave, and so they try

1322
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 2: to capture them. And it's just funny to me that

1323
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 2: because I'm fifty one and every year they're like, we

1324
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 2: have an idea, how about stay with me now more football,

1325
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 2: but different, worse football. And everybody's like, Okay, how many

1326
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 2: times do we have to say no?

1327
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 5: It's because I mean harassment.

1328
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I said no every time you gotta say no.

1329
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 2: So Pro Bowl, NBA, in season tournament, I got a

1330
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 2: whole list of like why, why?

1331
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 5: What is in this for the fans?

1332
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 3: Now, what I will say is I do like the

1333
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 3: NBA in season tournament.

1334
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 5: I knew that was gonna get you going.

1335
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,560
Speaker 3: Why, It's just now.

1336
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 4: It's just a different level of competition that we're not

1337
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 4: used to having. Until after the All Star Break you think, yeah,

1338
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 4: it is those guys want to win that like he

1339
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,640
Speaker 4: was a joker first and everybody's like whatever, But no,

1340
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 4: when you watch those I'm talking about bad teams. When

1341
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 4: you watch those NBA Cup games, those are the best

1342
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 4: games of the season up until coming down the stretch.

1343
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 3: Hmm, without a doubt.

1344
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, I don't know if I have felt

1345
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 2: that in the past. I really, I really don't. I

1346
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,759
Speaker 2: don't like and maybe and and the other thing about

1347
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 2: it is even if they want it that bad, do

1348
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 2: you know what I think happens? But I think people

1349
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 2: get offended by that. Well.

1350
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I just want a good product that would

1351
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 4: defend me or not. I don't care.

1352
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 2: Well, but I think what I'm saying by that is, oh,

1353
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're gonna load manage every Tuesday, But if

1354
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 2: you making forty million a year, are dangled another half

1355
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:34,759
Speaker 2: mil now you want.

1356
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 3: To play, Yeah, but everybody not making forty million years.

1357
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, I don't I think that's so what if

1358
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 2: you make three million? I think a fan has every

1359
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 2: right to go. Now it matters to you that eight

1360
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 2: from that's fair. I think it's fair. I get right.

1361
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 2: If you the body and all of the analytics and

1362
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:00,759
Speaker 2: the information that we have, if you need to protect

1363
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 2: yourself and it's difficult, then I'm gonna listen to that.

1364
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 2: But if you're gonna turn on the Jets in the

1365
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 2: first half of the season because money's being dangled in

1366
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 2: front of your face, that's my issue with the NBA

1367
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 2: in season tournament is I want to know what's in.

1368
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:15,799
Speaker 5: It for the fans.

Speaker 3: A trip to Vegas.

1370
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 2: To do what I don't need. I don't need. I

1371
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 2: don't need Steph Curry to be there to go to Vegas.

1409
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:11,759
Speaker 4: in the in the building.

1410
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 3: It was amazing. That's fantastic, unbelievable.

1411
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 5: You had a way better reason to be off than me.

1412
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 3: What was you was hitting the tables.

1413
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:21,760

01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 3: There you go. That's today.

1415

1417
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 3: He didn't lose. You deserve it, I'm saying.

1418
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 5: But anyway, we're back and not done yet.

1419
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 2: So uh Giannis, the super Bowl, all of it is

1420
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 2: still on the table.

1421
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 5: Coming up next the.

1422
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1423
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah off We go into the night, broadcasting live from

1424
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:52,799
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios, and Super Bowl Week has begun.

1425
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:57,879
Speaker 2: Touchdown means something else this Sunday. For the last four months,

1426
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 2: touchdown meant six points. Tonight, it means the planes for

1427
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:06,799
Speaker 2: both teams have touched down here in the Bay Area

1428
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 2: which will be the site, and the build up begins

1429
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 2: now exactly seven days away from Patriots and Seahawks, but

1430
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 2: also the NBA trade deadline looms as well. Sitting there

1431
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 2: on Thursday, and it's pretty hard to find yourself scrolling

1432
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 2: anywhere without pictures of Giannis at Tennecompo showing up because

1433
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:32,639
Speaker 2: he is all the talk right now.

1434
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you this.

1435
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 2: You feel like it's kind of true or false, Like

1436
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 2: it feels like most of the time when there's one

1437
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 2: of these kinds of deals and I don't even know

1438
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 2: if that deal is going to happen. But when you

1439
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 2: have the major name on the market and somebody needs

1440
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 2: to give up the house in order to get the

1441
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 2: major name, and then we look at it five six

1442
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 2: years down the road, didn't the house usually win?

1443
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

1444
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, So whether it's.

1445
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 2: Jannie you were just kind of musing about Lamar Jackson

1446
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 2: and Joe Burrow, we could go anywhere else. Uh, that

1447
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 2: name's not really out there as far as a trade target.

1448
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say in baseball, but there certainly have been moments.

1449
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, would you do it? Is it circumstantial?

1450
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 2: Because it all like it's funny. It's kind of like

1451
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 2: I was mentioned in going to Vegas. It's kind of

1452
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 2: like going to Vegas where you always you know, that

1453
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,560
Speaker 2: Friday night flight is always really loud and boisterous, and

1454
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 2: everybody thinks they're gonna win. And then on Sunday, everybody

1455
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 2: is asleep, hungover and.

1456
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 3: Broke, lost souls coming back.

1457
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 2: But then six months later you're like, I think we

1458
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 2: should go to Vegas. Like the same thing here. When

1459
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 2: someone brings up the idea of let's use Giannis as

1460
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 2: an example, you'll hear people go, well, if you got

1461
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 2: a chance to get Yannis, you do it?

1462
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 5: Do you?

1463
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 4: I would say, yes, there are very few occasions you

1464
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 4: can get a top fifty player, very few occasions.

1465
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 3: Sure doesn't happen a whole bunch.

1466
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 4: And so if you can do that, especially one with

1467
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 4: tread left on the tires, you have to you have

1468
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:33,880
Speaker 4: to take that in consideration.

1469
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 5: That's a yes from me, no matter what the cost.

1470
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 4: It depends, right, Like, so if we're talking Golden State,

1471
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:45,799
Speaker 4: we know Steph isn't going.

1472
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 5: Anywhere, No, but anybody else might.

1473
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 4: Anybody else is on the table, anybody. So you know,

1474
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 4: pairing two top fifties together, you know, is the new

1475
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 4: You know Big three. You can't do Big three anymore

1476
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 4: because that doesn't work right, right, So you know, pairing

1477
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:16,600
Speaker 4: two guys, like I said, you instantly have an unguardable

1478
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 4: offensive set. Right, You're going to get wrong every time

1479
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 4: on defense probably, and so it's just gonna keep that.

1480
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:27,799
Speaker 4: That's the juice, that's the energy.

1481
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 2: Okay, but look at this through like earlier, where you

1482
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:37,600
Speaker 2: surprised me is when you you basically stated with just

1483
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:41,760
Speaker 2: your chest out that yes, this like Giannis would like

1484
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 2: that pairing as well.

1485
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 5: Well, Steph's about turn.

1486
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 2: Thirty eight years old, and you're joining a team that

1487
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 2: in order to get you has got to give up

1488
01:24:54,680 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 2: seven years of draft capital. So even if Steph and yeah,

1489
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 2: he's still playing wonderfully at his age, and so will

1490
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 2: that continue. I kind of don't have really reason to

1491
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 2: say no, But the injuries will probably be a little

1492
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 2: bit more frequent, the play will decline a little bit,

1493
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 2: and somewhere in these next three years or so, he'll

1494
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:21,639
Speaker 2: turn forty and he won't play anymore.

1495
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:24,720
Speaker 5: Okay, Yiannis, Now what are you left with?

1496
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 2: You're thirty four, everybody left and there's no draft picks.

1497
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 5: Lots of cap space, but no draft picks. Is that

1498
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 5: the right thing for him to do?

1499
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 4: Opposed to staying in Milwaukee and well and doing what

1500
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,839
Speaker 4: he's been doing for the last ten years.

1501
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 2: I gotta think that there are other trade offers out there, Okay,

1502
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 2: like what, well, would you rather be in Miami?

1503
01:25:58,120 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 3: Of course you.

1504
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 2: Would the city or to win the situation.

1505
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 4: Oh well, no, they don't have anything done there, but

1506
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 4: that's a destination. Guys want to come to Miami, I know.

1507
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 4: So you would pair them with who it would be

1508
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 4: him and hat cass HEIMI Hakkas Junior, you.

1509
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 5: Know, Bam out of Baio.

1510
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 3: You probably may have to give up Bam for Giannis.

1511
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 2: I think that it would probably more be like a

1512
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 2: anemiler hero centered situation.

1513
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then you have Bam and and Yannis essentially

1514
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 4: the same person are the same. You know, Bam is

1515
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 4: a lesser Yannis in terms of his abilities on the court. Yeah,

1516
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 4: so what now, what who's actually going to shoot the

1517
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 4: three ball?

1518
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:47,879
Speaker 3: Well, I mean.

1519
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:53,719
Speaker 2: You're going to you're going to fill in around him? Okay,

1520
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 2: they do have there's some good young players. Yes, you'd

1521
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 2: have to give some of them up. Okay, sell me

1522
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 2: on it. So that's where that's where you'd go. You'd

1523
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 2: go join staff R l A and join Luca. Oh.

1524
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 5: I don't even know how the hell would you get

1525
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:12,040
Speaker 5: that done?

1526
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 3: It's impossible, right, That's why no one's talking.

1527
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 2: About it, right. I think it's funny that everyone's talking

1528
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 2: about the Knicks. How the hell do you get that done?

1529
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 2: You don't have any draft picks, you don't have any

1530
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:23,200
Speaker 2: young players.

1531
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 3: You have mkil Bridges. Yeah, that's why you don't have any.

1532
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 2: Draft picks, right right, And and the last thing on

1533
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 2: earth that the Bucks want are any established veteran stars,

1534
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 2: because what the Bucks would like to do is tank

1535
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 2: the rest of this year, yes, and and and get

1536
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 2: even more draft capital, like they want to start over

1537
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 2: all right, So, so.

1538
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 5: So you do this deal right now?

1539
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 3: I do the deal.

1540
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:52,719
Speaker 2: You do the deal.

1541
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 3: I would.

1542
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 2: If you're the Bucks, you do the deal. Yes, if

1543
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 2: you're if you're honest, you do the deal. And if

1544
01:27:58,439 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 2: you're the Warriors, you do the deal.

1545
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 5: Okay, well, then Thursday is going to be quite a day.

1546
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:05,680
Speaker 3: Quite a day.

1547
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 6: You know.

1548
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 2: I'll give you this like to me, and this is

1549
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 2: never a fun answer. I know everything's supposed to be

1550
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 2: yes or no and write it in ink and say

1551
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 2: it with your chest. I think every circumstance is different.

1552
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 2: With that, I don't think the Warriors have much of

1553
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 2: another play. They've sort of rearranged their situation over the

1554
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 2: last three years to be ready for this moment if

1555
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 2: it ever presented itself.

1556
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:36,759
Speaker 5: And now here we are. So therefore, if you're the Warriors,

1557
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 5: you do it.

1558
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 2: But I do think in general what I was mentioning earlier,

1559
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 2: which is, if you go back in history and look

1560
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 2: at herschel Walker, Ricky Williams, and actually even some of

1561
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:52,679
Speaker 2: the lesser things, like you want to go back into

1562
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 2: Lakers Lore. I was there, We were all there talking

1563
01:28:57,360 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 2: this out on a daily basis when they were in

1564
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 2: the process of being rumored to get Dwight Howard and

1565
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 2: then eventually getting Dwight Howard, and La thought that they

1566
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 2: had just purchased multiple rings when when that trade went down,

1567
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 2: they were an eight seed and got swept and that

1568
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 2: was the end of that.

1569
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 5: So I don't know, man, So these things always look

1570
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 5: great on paper?

1571
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,679
Speaker 3: That was yeah, yeah, I mean I think.

1572
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:39,720
Speaker 4: You know, trades are always hidden, miss unless you know

1573
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 4: free agencies, different trades are are, right.

1574
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 3: It took it took a while for you know, any like.

1575
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 4: Big trades to to to take hold. It's hard to

1576
01:29:56,520 --> 01:30:00,640
Speaker 4: middle the season, right, you know, there's feeling you just

1577
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 4: look at look at the Luca trade last year, like

1578
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 4: it took him a minute. He didn't even know what

1579
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:06,680
Speaker 4: was going on.

1580
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 2: Well, ye.

1581
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 4: Who was like, how the hell did this happen? And

1582
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 4: so it took up a real adjustment period. Now they

1583
01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:17,759
Speaker 4: turned that thing around and you know, made a run

1584
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 4: at it. But you know, it's it's one of those

1585
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 4: situations where you always want to be guarded. You don't

1586
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 4: want to make a mistake when it comes to giving

1587
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 4: up too much for something. But whenever it's someone like

1588
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 4: a Yiannis or like a Luca, then you you gotta

1589
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:43,240
Speaker 4: pull that trigger.

1590
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 3: You just have to.

1591
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 2: Hmm.

1592
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,439
Speaker 5: You're actually making me think that there's a chance this happens.

1593
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 3: I'm telling you.

1594
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,679
Speaker 2: I mean I thought there was a chance, but everything,

1595
01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 2: like you asked me off the top of the show,

1596
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 2: you think it's happening like no, But I mean, the

1597
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:04,760
Speaker 2: odds are less than fifty to fifty for anything in

1598
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 2: this space, so I'll keep saying no. But you know

1599
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 2: that's the challenge of an NBA star under these new rules,

1600
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,160
Speaker 2: with the aprons and.

1601
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 5: The tax penalties and all of that.

1602
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 2: Wherever they go when when you finally say it's time

1603
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 2: to go, when you go, you arrive at a barren spot.

1604
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 2: So where's he gonna go? I don't know when's he

1605
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 2: gonna go I don't know. But maybe the bigger question

1606
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 2: is do you think Giannis is ever gonna win another ring?

1607
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 2: Like what is the path for him to do that?

1608
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 2: And that's where I go. It getting I could have

1609
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 2: a machete in my hand. It is getting hard to

1610
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 2: see it, it really is. I know, you think if

1611
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,640
Speaker 2: Steph and him are together, it's just snap fingers, but

1612
01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 2: snap fingers doesn't usually work in the NBA.

1613
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:02,639
Speaker 5: It takes a minute. I don't know if they've got

1614
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 5: a minute.

1615
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:03,360
Speaker 2: Man.

1616
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 5: People are over here getting real old, real.

1617
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:07,599
Speaker 3: Fast, really fast.

1618
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 4: It seems like it's happening faster than normal, uh these days.

1619
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:13,720
Speaker 3: But look, that's that's it.

1620
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 4: When you look at the All Star Game, it's like,

1621
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 4: who are these people on the All Star team?

1622
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:19,360
Speaker 3: Right?

1623
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:21,880
Speaker 4: Like it's it's one of those you're really like, wait,

1624
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 4: who who's this guy?

1625
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:30,759
Speaker 3: But the league this turnover, there's turnover.

1626
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 4: And you know that the days are of the the Lebron's,

1627
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 4: the Steph, the KDI those are dwindling down. Those are

1628
01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:47,160
Speaker 4: winding down as they should. But who's the next Who's

1629
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 4: the next guy in the league? You know, we don't know,

1630
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 4: we don't know who that is.

1631
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:59,560
Speaker 2: I want to say this, This pairing of Caid Cunningham

1632
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 2: and Jay.

1633
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:01,439
Speaker 5: And Duran has my attention.

1634
01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to say that, but.

1635
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 4: You know, half the fans don't know who, right they are?

1636
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 5: Y' all know what team I'm talking about.

1637
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 3: Right, seriously like that?

1638
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 2: It's yeah.

1639
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,200
Speaker 3: But and that's what I mean by.

1640
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:20,800
Speaker 2: You gotta do it.

1641
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 5: You got to do it and then and then people

1642
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 5: know who they are.

1643
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:26,680
Speaker 4: Yes, So we don't We don't get to know the

1644
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:30,800
Speaker 4: new stars until the playoffs. I think Kate got a

1645
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 4: huge boost last year in the playoffs. But for the

1646
01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 4: most part, there are not many Detroit Piston games on

1647
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:41,960
Speaker 4: national television, not.

1648
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:46,799
Speaker 2: Yet, not yet. Or maybe it's Victor. Maybe they're already ready.

1649
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're already ready. Now that everybody know him.

1650
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's right. I didn't even need to use his

1651
01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 5: last name.

1652
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 3: No, everybody knows him, that guy.

1653
01:33:55,880 --> 01:34:01,599
Speaker 2: Yeah. Demand Okay, let's dive back into the Super Bowl

1654
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 2: here coming up next, and I want to explore a

1655
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 2: little further your statement from the top of the show

1656
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 2: that the Patriots need to go prove in this game

1657
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 2: that they're a good team. So let's dive into that

1658
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 2: a little bit. And speaking of things we need to

1659
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:19,760
Speaker 2: dive into. Have you ever wiped with a piece of

Speaker 5: Winning games. Is winning games in the NFL easy?

1686
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 5: What do you mean against the good teams?

1687
01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 2: Right?

1688
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 4: No, against any any game is? It's one of the

1689
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:47,480
Speaker 4: most difficult things you can possibly does really.

1690
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:52,479
Speaker 2: Really do you remember when you and I before the

1691
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:58,680
Speaker 2: season started, were like Patriots Patriots, watch out for the

1692
01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 2: Patriots this year. And then they came out and they

1693
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:08,240
Speaker 2: lost at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders

1694
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:12,959
Speaker 2: the team with the number one overall pick. The Raiders

1695
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 2: defeated the Patriots in Foxboro, and one weekend the Raiders

1696
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:21,840
Speaker 2: were one to zero and tied for first, and the

1697
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:25,639
Speaker 2: Patriots were zero and one and time for last. Then

1698
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,600
Speaker 2: they went to Miami. He squeezed out a win, and

1699
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:31,680
Speaker 2: they came back home to take on Aaron Rodgers and

1700
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers. They lost that football game fourteen. They

1701
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 2: were one and two. This football team has lost one

1702
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 2: other game for the remainder of the year, and it

1703
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:53,839
Speaker 2: was a game on December fourteenth against the Buffalo Bills,

1704
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:58,280
Speaker 2: a game in which the Patriots led twenty four to

1705
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 2: seven at halftime. Now, they collapsed and they need to

1706
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:09,040
Speaker 2: be accountable for that. But that game was the only

1707
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 2: time they've lost a football game since September twenty first,

1708
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 2: So like, are we really sitting here in February telling

1709
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:25,120
Speaker 2: that team that they need to prove that they're good?

1710
01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 3: Is that a thing?

1711
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:32,280
Speaker 5: Does that make any sense to you?

1712
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense, But it's a thing.

1713
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:37,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Like I can go week by week and I

1714
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 2: get it. I get it. You know, you beat Carolina,

1715
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:46,760
Speaker 2: you did win on the road at Buffalo on Sunday night,

1716
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 2: at New Orleans, at Tennessee home to Cleveland, home to Atlanta,

1717
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:58,600
Speaker 2: at Tampa, home to the Jets, at SINC home to

1718
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:02,400
Speaker 2: the Giants, at Baltimore at the Jets again home to

1719
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. Nothing pops off the screen, Like even the

1720
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 2: win at Baltimore. They were trailing going into the fourth quarter.

1721
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:13,720
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson had gotten hurt, and then they came back

1722
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 2: and won. But I'm just always like, maybe this is

1723
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:20,640
Speaker 2: too simplistic. I always I look at teams in the

1724
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 2: league and when sebenty wins a bunch of games, and

1725
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:26,679
Speaker 2: people go, well, you haven't played anybody, Say, yes, they've

1726
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:30,920
Speaker 2: played the teams that don't win the games. That's the

1727
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 2: difference between a good team and a bad team. Some

1728
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 2: of the teams don't win the games, they're the bad teams.

1729
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:39,840
Speaker 2: And then the teams that beat the bad teams and

1730
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:42,520
Speaker 2: do it just about every time they play, that's.

1731
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 3: The good teams.

1732
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:49,679
Speaker 2: So I expect the Patriots to give him a game

1733
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 2: they might lose. Steve Disager might disagree with me. He'll

1734
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 2: be here in five minutes, he said. Off the top.

1735
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:57,920
Speaker 2: He kind of laid out a real good case for like,

1736
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I don't even know how the

1737
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 2: hell you can make a case that the Patriots can win.

1738
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, because it's a game and they're good.

1739
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 2: I mean, they're clearly doing something right.

1740
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:13,200
Speaker 3: They're doing something right.

1741
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 5: Their quarterback is going to finish second in the MVP.

1742
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, yeah, I would, I would, Yes.

1743
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 2: So tell me about that, tell me about oh, you

1744
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 2: haven't played anybody, versus a really good quote from so

1745
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 2: many coaches. But Mount Lafleur in Green Bay is the

1746
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 2: one who it just resonates from earlier this year when

1747
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 2: his team early in the year was feeling a little overconfident,

1748
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:46,919
Speaker 2: and he said, I try and like hell to remind

1749
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 2: these guys that it's a week to week league.

1750
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:56,559
Speaker 3: That's a great quote. It's week to week.

1751
01:39:57,360 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 2: So tell me about being a good team and going

1752
01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:02,520
Speaker 2: up against bad teams.

1753
01:40:03,439 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 4: It's easy to play down to your competition. It's a

1754
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 4: it's a it's a real thing where you don't take

1755
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 4: a team serious during the week. Like I'm not saying

1756
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 4: you don't go work. What I'm saying is it's just

1757
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:24,240
Speaker 4: a different thing. Like if you're going up against the

1758
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:27,360
Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs and then the next week you're going

1759
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:35,439
Speaker 4: up against Cleveland are the Carolina Panthers.

1760
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,680
Speaker 3: The energy is different, Okay.

1761
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 4: There's an expectation of winning when you're going up against that.

1762
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:46,040
Speaker 4: Like when I was playing, it's like the Colts, right,

1763
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:50,120
Speaker 4: We played against the Colts when I was in Houston,

1764
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:57,320
Speaker 4: and then you had Tennessee. Are are Jacksonville? Like the

1765
01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:00,719
Speaker 4: attention to detail was a little bit different against Peyton

1766
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:06,759
Speaker 4: Manning and the Coats in Denver, We'll go playing against

1767
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 4: the Raiders. It was different.

1768
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 3: Because a completely different situation.

1769
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 4: So it's easy to overlook teams or to think that

1770
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:22,800
Speaker 4: teams that's the that's the reason I liked Robert Sala

1771
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:24,679
Speaker 4: at the Jets and the job he did.

1772
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 3: They always came out to fight.

1773
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,320
Speaker 4: They were good, they were gonna they weren't just gonna

1774
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:32,840
Speaker 4: let you walk over them.

1775
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 3: Now, whether they won the close game or not.

1776
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:38,160
Speaker 4: I remember, I think at one point they had lost

1777
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:42,759
Speaker 4: like six games and we were total of like six

1778
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:46,920
Speaker 4: or ten points or something like that. But they were

1779
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 4: they were game. They were a young team trying to

1780
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:50,760
Speaker 4: find their legs to win.

1781
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 3: And so.

1782
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 4: Then they brought in Aaron Rodgers and in that experiment

1783
01:41:57,400 --> 01:41:59,640
Speaker 4: didn't work and it kind of like soured everybody on

1784
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:02,679
Speaker 4: Roberts Salah, and to me, it just didn't make sense.

1785
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 4: I thought, there are much better team when Robert Salah

1786
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:13,599
Speaker 4: was the coach, surely better than what we've seen of

1787
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:18,760
Speaker 4: them this year. And oh yeah, oh god, yes, yes, yes,

1788
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:23,639
Speaker 4: yes that bad. Uh So it's one of those things

1789
01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 4: where you, yeah, you have to Preparation is everything.

1790
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:29,240
Speaker 11: Now.

1791
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 4: The fact that Mike Vrabel had those guys ready to

1792
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 4: go every single week and they came to play and

1793
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 4: they were gonna give you everything.

1794
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:35,840
Speaker 3: They had.

1795
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 4: It's you know, that's why he's a good Coach of

1796
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:48,160
Speaker 4: the Year candidate, as he should be. Yep, it's it's

1797
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:51,439
Speaker 4: very nuanced when it comes to winning games like it.

1798
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 4: Anything can go wrong and everything can go right, and

1799
01:42:55,000 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 4: you can still lose the game. Momentum is everything. That's

1800
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 4: why I'm hell bent on coaches throwing games away by

1801
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 4: doing silly things but not taking points.

1802
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:10,040
Speaker 3: That bothers me.

1803
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 5: Fourth and two is a disease.

1804
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 4: Bothers the heck out of me. Yep, it's too hard

1805
01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:20,800
Speaker 4: to win games to do that. Too hard. I just

1806
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 4: don't get it. I don't get why you just throw

1807
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 4: something out the window.

1808
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:30,200
Speaker 2: So, which which which is why we always try to

1809
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 2: be on time for Steve to say, don't want to windows.

1810
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:35,480
Speaker 3: All the windows are closed.

1811
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:37,920
Speaker 5: Here they're gonna throw a good thing away. Uh.

1812
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:41,880
Speaker 8: Speaking of throwing things away, that was the method of

1813
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 8: operation for Sam Donald the first half of the season.

1814
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:47,639
Speaker 8: I did mention an obvious way that his opponent wins

1815
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:50,920
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl next Sunday, New England over Seattle is

1816
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,840
Speaker 8: if Donald reverts to that. Because first ten weeks he

1817
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 8: had ten interceptions thrown, including four in the loss at

1818
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 8: the Rams, and he threw two more in the rematch

1819
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:02,680
Speaker 8: with the Rams, that overtime classic in December, but no

1820
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:05,599
Speaker 8: interceptions thrown these last three games, which have all been

1821
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 8: against division opponents. And now they'll go up against the

1822
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 8: New England team that won every road game it had.

1823
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 8: And this is neutral site game, but certainly not at home.

1824
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:15,680
Speaker 8: And yes, the Super Bowl teams did arrive in the

1825
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:18,680
Speaker 8: Bay Area tonight. By the way, interesting stat I saw

1826
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:20,599
Speaker 8: it was Super Bowl sixty at the forty nine ers

1827
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 8: Levi Stadium. That means every game this postseason will be

1828
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:27,479
Speaker 8: played outside. First time that's happened since the two thousand

1829
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 8: and two playoffs. Seattle, a team that's sixteen and three

1830
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 8: Jackson Smith and Jigma had ten more catches in the

1831
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:38,240
Speaker 8: NFC title game beating the Rams. That was for one

1832
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty three yards and a key touchdown late

1833
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:43,600
Speaker 8: first half, but the Rams were stopped by that Seattle

1834
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:46,479
Speaker 8: defense on a fourth down at the Seattle six with

1835
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 8: five minutes to go in the game. So a near

1836
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:51,799
Speaker 8: seven and a half minute drive for LA fourteen plays

1837
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:55,040
Speaker 8: eighty four yards got them no points and they lost

1838
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:58,080
Speaker 8: by four at Seattle. New England won ten to seven

1839
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 8: at Denver in the AFC champion Ship Game. The Arizona

1840
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 8: Cardinals new head coach is Mike Lafleur from the Rams.

1841
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 8: The Raiders are expected to hire Seattle offensive coordinator Clint

1842
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 8: Kubiak as head coach after the Super Bowl.

1843
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:11,839
Speaker 9: They just met with him on Saturday.

1844
01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 8: The forty nine ers new defensive coordinator is Raheem Morris,

1845
01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:18,200
Speaker 8: and the dolphins new defensive coordinator will reportedly be Sean

1846
01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:21,240
Speaker 8: Duggan from the Packers. He's worked with the new coach there,

1847
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:25,559
Speaker 8: Jeff Hafley, at three other places. To the NBA final

1848
01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 8: thirty seconds, Clippers are leading big at Phoenix one, seventeen

1849
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:33,120
Speaker 8: to ninety three Kawhi Leonard twenty five points. Neither Leonard

1850
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 8: or any other Clipper has been selected to the All

1851
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:38,439
Speaker 8: Star Game, which the Clippers Arena will host in two weeks,

1852
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 8: but Leonard could be selected to replace the injured Giannison Tinnekumpo.

1853
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:45,120
Speaker 8: The All Star reserves were named earlier this evening. Lebron

1854
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 8: James is one of them, an All Star for the

1855
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 8: twenty second straight year. Kevin Durant also on the list,

1856
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:53,920
Speaker 8: although he's out for Monday's Houston game with the sprained ankle.

1857
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 8: Also in the All Star Game, Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker,

1858
01:45:57,160 --> 01:46:00,000
Speaker 8: Karl Anthony Town selected as a reserve as well.

1859
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:00,200
Speaker 9: Well.

1860

Speaker 8: events to end the West Coast swing on tour. The

1922

1935
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:15,120
Speaker 2: the one thing, the one and maybe the only thing,

1936
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 2: Ephrom that's good about the football season coming to an

1937
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:23,519
Speaker 2: end is it reboots the seven thirty Pacific Times. Steve

1938

Speaker 2: goes deep on golf segment and we learned something and

1939
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 2: I got to know how you guys are feeling about

1940
01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 2: this sort of slow leak of the live players coming

1941
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 2: back to the PGA with tears in their eyes and

1942
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:40,240
Speaker 2: tails between legs.

1943
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 8: They really are making it punitive though, aren't they. Oh yeah,

1944
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 8: PGA Tour, you left us. You're not gonna collect this.

1945
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:47,400
Speaker 3: You're not.

1946
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,080
Speaker 8: It's as bad as the teams that we're trying to

1947
01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 8: join the ACC for football. It's fine, but you're not

1948
01:50:53,240 --> 01:50:55,760
Speaker 8: getting any TV money for the next seven years. You

1949
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,160
Speaker 8: want to play Florida State, great, but you're not getting

1950
01:50:58,200 --> 01:50:58,680
Speaker 8: what we have.

1951
01:50:59,080 --> 01:51:00,920
Speaker 2: Right. But then again, if you went to live for

1952
01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:03,160
Speaker 2: a few years, you got your money money.

1953
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 3: You're done and well.

1954
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:08,160
Speaker 8: And similar to SMU joining the ACC for football, as

1955
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 8: soon as they announced, hey we're in ac SU school

1956
01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 8: that they got donors coming out of.

1957
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:14,720
Speaker 9: The woodwork for that school. So they did make it

1958
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 9: up just a bit.

1959
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:18,840
Speaker 2: But you're what a what a great example of the

1960
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:21,760
Speaker 2: old age old question with every decision we make for

1961
01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:23,839
Speaker 2: love or money, right, And.

1962
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 5: This is like.

1963
01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:30,400
Speaker 2: I guess you did one and now you want to

1964
01:51:30,439 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 2: come back. It's just like a familiar story. I bet

1965
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:34,639
Speaker 2: we can all relate to it in life. You make

1966
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:37,720
Speaker 2: the decision about one, then you regret it, you come

1967
01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 2: back and try to make the decision about the other.

1968
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:44,519
Speaker 2: But I don't know, man, I don't know. Watching the

1969
01:51:44,640 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 2: emotions of the situation, it's like, I don't know. If

1970
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 2: you feel that way, then give the money back.

1971
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:54,800
Speaker 3: They not give them money. I give them money back.

1972
01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 8: And Brooks Koepka really was welcomed by the fans in

1973
01:51:58,000 --> 01:51:59,200
Speaker 8: San Diego this weekend.

1974
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:01,519
Speaker 3: The fans aren't mad.

1975
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:03,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got nothing against the guy.

1976
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:05,200
Speaker 3: They don't. They don't. Fans aren't mad.

1977
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:07,560
Speaker 2: Some of them were.

1978
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 5: Some of them were about the greater, the greater idea.

1979
01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:16,800
Speaker 4: That's like, you know, being mad, and how could they like?

1980
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 4: How remember how mad Cleveland fans went when when Lebron left. Hey,

1981
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:26,559
Speaker 4: guess what happened when he came back. Guess what happened?

1982
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:33,120
Speaker 4: Forgot it exactly. So it's that's what fans do. Their fanatics.

1983
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 4: They overreact, and then you can they'll come back again.

1984
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:38,840
Speaker 5: Social media versus real life.

1985
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 11: Social media versus real life, yep, yep, anger And then man,

1986
01:52:45,960 --> 01:52:49,280
Speaker 11: I've never and this is I'm blessed.

1987
01:52:49,320 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 2: I guess I've never run into a human being on

1988
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 2: planet Earth that's as mad as most people are on

1989
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:56,759
Speaker 2: social media.

1990
01:52:57,120 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 5: Man, goodness, great, never even I've never seen someone.

1991
01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:03,519
Speaker 8: Because when you're that mad in real life, sometimes there

1992
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:04,480
Speaker 8: are consequences.

1993
01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:07,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, usually, yeah.

1994
01:53:07,320 --> 01:53:09,960

Speaker 2: iHeart app. Soda laways pop up right there at the

2014
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:11,280
Speaker 2: top of your screen real quick. Like, I mean, all

2015
01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:15,479
Speaker 2: that said, do you think the Seahawks run away with

2016
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:17,280
Speaker 2: this or we got a close game?

2017
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:22,760
Speaker 4: I think it'll be close, Okay, I think, uh, you know,

2018
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:27,840
Speaker 4: Mike Rabels an excellent coach. You know, the weakest part

2019
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 4: of I think New England's team was their defense and

2020
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 4: not being able to get pressure on opposing offensive passers.

2021
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:40,360
Speaker 4: And and they've completely changed that in in the playoffs.

2022
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:43,480
Speaker 4: The defense is ringing one of the tops in the

2023
01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 4: playoffs now. And so I think that's it's all about

2024
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:50,680
Speaker 4: moments and it's all about coaching, and I think I

2025
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 4: think that that that keeps this game close. So last

2026
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:58,240
Speaker 4: game is is you you're not gonna save anything. I

2027
01:54:58,240 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 4: can tell you that, right, You're not saving nothing. You're

2028
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:05,000
Speaker 4: gonna let it all. You're gonna let it all out.

2029
01:55:05,360 --> 01:55:08,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's best that two week layoff. I

2030
01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:09,200
Speaker 5: think both these.

2031
01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 2: Offenses might have a little a little bit of a

2032
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:16,480
Speaker 2: hard time, might be a little sloggy for about three quarters,

2033
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:21,040
Speaker 2: a little sleepy. But also, I'm with you somewhat close.

2034
01:55:21,120 --> 01:55:24,960
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean the Seahawks can't cover. You know, they can

2035
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:27,720
Speaker 2: win by a touchdown. But I think both of these

2036
01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:33,560
Speaker 2: offense is gonna have a little bit of a hard time. Hey,

2037
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:39,000
Speaker 2: I just realized and you're probably Are you off next Sunday?

2038
01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:43,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, you are too. Well, I'm off five

2039
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:45,600
Speaker 2: to eight. I'm gonna do after the game. I'm gonna

2040
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:47,920
Speaker 2: do after the game. But the next time I talk

2041
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:53,000
Speaker 2: to you, did no more NFL games? Nope, no more

2042
01:55:53,080 --> 01:55:56,440
Speaker 2: NFL season. I thought we could have some fun. Just

2043
01:55:56,560 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 2: look back real quick. Let's do two or three things

2044
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 2: things that stand out. What are your top memories, your

2045
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:06,160
Speaker 2: top moments of the NFL season that has been to

2046
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 2: this point.

2047
01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 4: The fall off of the Kansas City Chiefs. I think

2048
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:14,240
Speaker 4: that's right at the top.

2049
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:15,760
Speaker 2: It just.

2050
01:56:18,280 --> 01:56:19,560
Speaker 3: The writing was on the wall.

2051
01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 4: You can see the Cracks can't win that many one

2052
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:26,720
Speaker 4: score games and expect to have that same level of

2053
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 4: of of success.

2054
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:31,680
Speaker 3: The next year. I think.

2055
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:33,600
Speaker 4: I think for me that the number that was the

2056
01:56:33,720 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 4: number one thing where I was like, Okay, well, you know,

2057
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:37,680
Speaker 4: now what what do they do?

2058
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:40,160
Speaker 3: Now? You know where do they go? Now?

2059
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 4: See, they're bringing Eric b Enemy back, They're trying to

2060
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 4: figure this thing out. And then the injury to Patrick Mahomes.

2061
01:56:49,920 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 4: So it's a lot of questions in the air. But

2062
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:53,960
Speaker 4: I don't think and I didn't. I didn't think they

2063
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:57,720
Speaker 4: would make the playoffs, but I didn't think. It just

2064
01:56:57,760 --> 01:57:00,160
Speaker 4: looked bad. They didn't look like the Kansas City Chiefs. Wow,

2065
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:01,680
Speaker 4: that's a really good one.

2066
01:57:02,600 --> 01:57:05,320
Speaker 2: I want to bring up the Thursday night game between

2067
01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:07,200
Speaker 2: the Seahawks and Rams. They just put on a good

2068
01:57:07,240 --> 01:57:09,680
Speaker 2: show in the NFC title game, but I want to

2069
01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:11,320
Speaker 2: go back to that Thursday Night game.

2070
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,200
Speaker 5: I thought that that if Sam.

2071
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:17,880
Speaker 2: Donald wins the Super Bowl, that second half was the

2072
01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:22,040
Speaker 2: turning point in his career. He had thrown a pick six.

2073
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:25,960
Speaker 2: He was going to be the bad Big Game Sam again.

2074
01:57:26,360 --> 01:57:28,200
Speaker 2: And then he brought them all the way back and

2075
01:57:28,240 --> 01:57:31,280
Speaker 2: we got two point conversions bouncing off of people's helmets

2076
01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 2: and being picked up by people that didn't even know

2077
01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:34,320
Speaker 2: they were picking it up.

2078
01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:35,920
Speaker 5: I mean that game to.

2079
01:57:35,920 --> 01:57:38,400
Speaker 2: Me, was one of the one of the top three

2080
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 2: memories of the season for sure.

2081
01:57:42,200 --> 01:57:46,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree we I think that the Chicago Bears.

2082
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:50,080
Speaker 4: For me, it sticks out the dysfunction that was the

2083
01:57:50,120 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 4: Bears last year and how Ben Johnson came in in

2084
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:57,600
Speaker 4: the reports and training camp and in OTAs, how you

2085
01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:00,400
Speaker 4: know there was contingent in the building. They weren't getting long,

2086
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:04,640
Speaker 4: He's kicking the offense off the field and people questioning

2087
01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 4: the process. But to see what they were able to

2088
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:10,720
Speaker 4: turn into now, I will caution them, They're not going

2089
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:13,680
Speaker 4: to be able to do fourth quarter heroics, last two

2090
01:58:13,680 --> 01:58:16,040
Speaker 4: minute heroics and make a mill of.

2091
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:18,800
Speaker 5: That this year's last year's Chiefs.

2092
01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:22,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're going to have to solidify that and fix

2093
01:58:22,280 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 4: that now. I think Caleb Williams is gonna have to

2094
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:27,800
Speaker 4: be better with the ball, passing it down the field

2095
01:58:27,920 --> 01:58:31,600
Speaker 4: more accurate in order for them to continue to get better.

2096
01:58:32,160 --> 01:58:35,920
Speaker 4: But the Bears for me, were a huge surprise, a

2097
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 4: good surprise, and it looks like they found their quarterback

2098
01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 4: that they have been looking for since ever.

2099
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:44,840
Speaker 2: Let's say it with an eye to the sky. The

2100
01:58:44,880 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 2: Bears are not who we thought they were. They are

2101
01:58:49,640 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 2: not and I actually want to bring up not just

2102
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:54,640
Speaker 2: the Bears, but how about one specific moment if you

2103
01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:59,840
Speaker 2: hide the circle one play in the NFL season, was

2104
01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:04,880
Speaker 2: it not Caleb Williams to Cole Comet, the fourteen yard

2105
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:09,280
Speaker 2: pass that traveled fifty two yards off of a back

2106
01:59:09,320 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 2: foot in crazy weather Divisional round playoff game against the

2107
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:18,280
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. We'd be talking about that as one

2108
01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:21,200
Speaker 2: of the great, you know, miracle at the Metowlands type

2109
01:59:21,240 --> 01:59:24,200
Speaker 2: situations if the Bears had won the game, but they

2110
01:59:24,200 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 2: did not, But that that play is going to be

2111
01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:30,160
Speaker 2: forever etched in my mind. And also because it happened

2112
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:32,440
Speaker 2: while you and I were sitting here talking to each other.

2113
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:35,879
Speaker 5: It happened on our show, and both of us were gasping.

2114
01:59:37,880 --> 01:59:42,280
Speaker 3: I remember screaming, oh my god. Right, Well, but.

2115
01:59:43,440 --> 01:59:45,680
Speaker 2: Whatever TV you were watching might have been like a

2116
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:46,800
Speaker 2: tick ahead of mine.

2117
01:59:46,920 --> 01:59:49,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, oh my god, and the.

2118
01:59:49,920 --> 01:59:52,000
Speaker 2: Ball is still flying through the air on my TV.

2119
01:59:52,120 --> 01:59:55,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, no way, do not tell me someone's about

2120
01:59:55,520 --> 01:59:58,640
Speaker 2: to catch this thing. Oh gosh. I will never forget

2121
01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:01,040
Speaker 2: that moment. Out you got any more?

2122
02:00:01,160 --> 02:00:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got another one. I think.

2123
02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:09,920
Speaker 4: The the Raiders, uh the disappointment to let down because

2124
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:11,760
Speaker 4: I picked that as hard as it was from that

2125
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:15,440
Speaker 4: I picked them to be better, and just the disappointment

2126
02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:19,240
Speaker 4: of the organization and and and you know, it was

2127
02:00:19,320 --> 02:00:20,720
Speaker 4: there for them and.

2128
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:21,600
Speaker 3: It just fell apart.

2129
02:00:22,400 --> 02:00:22,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

2130
02:00:22,600 --> 02:00:25,560
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll's probably done coaching, and you know, it's a

2131
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:28,880
Speaker 4: sad way for such an iconic coach uh to go out,

2132
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:33,080
Speaker 4: But it was. It was quite disappointing when it came

2133
02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:38,000
Speaker 4: to what we expected from the Silver and Black this year.

2134
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:41,200
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, no doubt about it. I want to give

2135
02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:44,000
Speaker 2: a shout out to the trick the trick play in

2136
02:00:44,120 --> 02:00:47,480
Speaker 2: the wild card round Juwan Jennings to Christian McCaffrey that

2137
02:00:47,520 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 2: dethroned the champs in Philadelphia. But also, I know you

2138
02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:55,240
Speaker 2: and I both Lamar Jackson just wasn't his South this year.

2139
02:00:55,640 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 2: And I thought all year long, we thought they were

2140
02:00:57,600 --> 02:00:59,200
Speaker 2: going to make the playoffs, and I thought they were

2141
02:00:59,280 --> 02:01:01,360
Speaker 2: all the way until Aler Loop walked out onto that

2142
02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:03,680
Speaker 2: field and knocked that thing wide right.

2143
02:01:03,800 --> 02:01:06,520
Speaker 5: I still can't believe the Ravens didn't even go.

2144
02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:10,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that's a tough one, not having them

2145
02:01:10,720 --> 02:01:14,120
Speaker 4: and the Chiefs in the playoffs and the Bengals

2146
02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:17,560
Speaker 2: Woof, yeah, yeah, great man, enjoyed the Super Bowl for

2147
02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:18,760
Speaker 2: apram I'm Mark
