1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio. When you're feeling down,

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: you turn to an old friend. And I got up

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: today ten o'clock rolled around. I'm in the West. I

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: turned on the TV. I wrubbed my hands together, and

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: I said, let's go. It's Sunday. It's time to sit

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: down and watch some foot Oh. Hell, So, I'm gonna

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: turn to an old friend. His name is Carrie Rhodes.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: What the hell do we do now?

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: Carrie?

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: What? What? What the hell do we do now? Mark?

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I did. So I had to

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: do like a little makeup duty thing today.

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Right.

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: I went to the movies yesterday, went and saw the

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: Bob Marley movie. Oh it was a two o'clock showing.

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: How was it?

17
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you what. I gotta tell you this story. First, Mark,

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: So I walk in, I get my popcorn. I actually

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: just keep my head down while I'm eating. I just

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: kind of glance up and I see Bob Marley. I'm like, cool,

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: I'm in the right place. Walk in, walk in, sit

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: in my seats. I'm like, man, a movie looks like

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: it's been playing for a while. But then you know,

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: I'm I'm like maybe it just started little early. I

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: was like five minutes late, so cool. I get through

26
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: the whole movie. It was probably probably like an hour,

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, I know I definitely miss something,

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: so I step out. I looked to the right, Bob

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: Marley two o'clock, so I missed it. So I did

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: a rain check, went in right before the show. Loved it.

31
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: Great music, obviously, and now I'm feeling one love right

32
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: now man Wood.

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: So wait, did you watch the end first, in the beginning?

34
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Second? Yes?

35
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 4: I did?

36
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: You did?

37
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: Yes?

38
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: I did.

39
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, gosh, I have a great start.

40
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Do you remember the old movie it's not that old,

41
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: but Usual Suspects. You remember that movie? Okay, Unfortunately that's

42
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: a twister. That's one that's got a big like whoa

43
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: at the end of it. And I accidentally did that

44
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: with that movie. That's not the movie to do that with.

45
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: I walked into a group of friends and it was college,

46
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: so who knows. They'd probably been smoking something and I

47
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: just walked in and but he said anything. They're all

48
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: zoned out on the TV. Come to find out they're

49
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: watching the big Twist ending, and so they're just mesmerized

50
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: by the TV. And I sat there and watched it

51
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: with him, and I had no idea what I was

52
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: walking into. And so the whole thing ends and they're

53
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: all on the floor. They're like, oh my gosh, and

54
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm like what what what? Why are you all what happened?

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, hell, you haven't seen the beginning

56
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: of this. So I never got the true experience because

57
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: I did the same thing. I went back and watched

58
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: the beginning. Second.

59
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: It's not as fun, Carrie. That is good that way.

60
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: It is not as fun, and I will tell you

61
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 2: that I was. I was flabbergasted because I knew once

62
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: I sat down that it was it was probably the

63
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: middle or something. But I'm just like a no fuss guy,

64
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: so I just went through and finished it and a man,

65
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: it's not the same, but you know the music. The

66
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: music's awesome, so I was fine.

67
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. The good thing is is it's Bob Marley, So

68
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: you're supposed to just relax. Man, it's every Everything's fine.

69
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,079

80
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit later about how to make

81
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: this compelling, if it's even possible anymore. But let's start.

82
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: We got plenty of football stuff to get to, Carrie.

83
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: I can tell you here in the San Francisco Bay area,

84
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: we are still unpacking. We are still unpacking what happened

85
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: last weekend. So there's a lot to get to there.

86
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: But NBA first and foremost. After a press conference held

87
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: by Lebron James earlier today, let me ask you this, Kerry,

88
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: any relationship you want, think of it. You don't need

89
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: to even tell us which one can be your mom,

90
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: your dad, a former partner or friend, whatever. Just imagine

91
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: that relationship, think about it for a second, and then

92
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: tell me. In that relationship, were you the one in control?

93
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: Uh? You know, control is an illusion mark, So I'm

94
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna I'm going to say no. I'm going

95
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: to say no to that. I'm going to say I've

96
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: never had control of anything.

97
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Control wealth, amen to that, right, like control the things

98
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: we can control of the older. We again, we're like,

99
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything. I don't think it's anything

100
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: like you your mood. Maybe maybe if you're lucky, you

101
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: feel like you can control your mood and and what

102
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: you eat. I don't know if there's anything else, but here,

103
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: here's why I ask. And I love that you responded

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: by saying control is an illusion, because just within the

105
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: last week, we have had the story come out courtesy

106
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: of Adrian Warjsnarowski and Ramona Shelburne that the Golden State

107
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers got on a eleventh hour

108
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: owner to owner call about a potential Lebron James trade. Okay,

109
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers say no, but somehow it also ended up

110
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: with Clutch Agency, and then they said no. And then

111
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Lebron came out today and said things like, well, hopefully

112
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: my career ends with the Lakers, but then went on

113
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: to say, but I don't have the answer to which

114
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: uniform I'll be wearing, and I chuckled because for the

115
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Lakers, I hope they know this and I

116
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: bet they do. In this case, control is a total illusion.

117
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: Lebron James will finish in whatever damn uniform he well pleases,

118
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: because that's who's got control here. So I ask you,

119
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: how do both sides play this? Lebron? I have no

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: doubt ops out at the end of the year, the

121
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: Lakers do what they make the playoffs probably maybe do

122
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: they win around who knows?

123
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: But how do you want this thing to finish? If

124
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: you're Lebron James?

125
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: Man?

126
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: Lebron James, obviously he's he's playing the long game. So

127
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: I mean we all know the finality of what that means.

128
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: A long game for him is playing with his son, right,

129
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: playing with the sun at whatever destination he ends up

130
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: last at. Right, So I think that's neither here nor there.

131
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: I think we all can agree on that. But for him,

132
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what else he's planned for. He's not

133
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: in a situation now where he's gonna win a championship,

134
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: and if that's what he wants on top of playing

135
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: with his son, then why not why not make that

136
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: step to Golden State where obviously teaming him up with

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: Curry and Draymond and Kaminga and Wiggins and all those guys.

138
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: Wiggins probably would have been gone if the trade happened,

139
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: but probably that core that would have been his best

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 2: chance to win a championship. Now, I'm sure in those talks.

141
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: Along those talks again, I'm sure he's propositioning that his

142
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: son's going to be tagging along to whatever destination he

143
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: goes to. And I'm sure, you know, Golden State was

144
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: probably the most sound team out of all these teams,

145
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: and they were probably like, I don't know if that's

146
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: that's gonna work out. You know, I think the Lakers

147
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: will probably acquiesce to what he wants. So I'm sure

148
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: he probably will end up staying here. But I don't

149
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: really see any other position where he could do both

150
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: win and have a son there. So that's kind of

151
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: where I kind of stand with it. I don't know,

152
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: what do you think, Mark.

153
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what I mean. The priorities for me,

154
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: You're you're kind of top dancing with both of the

155
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: priorities that I think are on people's minds, right, which

156
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: is winning and playing with his son. Which one drives

157
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: him more I don't know. It kind of feels like

158
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: playing with his son, to be honest with you, drives

159
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: it more. Although he did mention once he phrased it

160
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: as playing on the same court as my son, So

161
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he's talking about as opponents. And

162
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: here's the other thing, I mean, what are we really

163
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: talking about here? This shows how much control Lebron is in.

164
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: He's literally ushering a player into the league and conducting

165
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: potentially what team that player goes to, and without Lebron,

166
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that player is going to

167
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: make the league. I don't even know if that player

168
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: would get drafted if it weren't for his name, which

169
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,119
Speaker 1: is actually a really I mean, a completely separate conversation

170
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: about his path talking about Bronni's and whether it's realistic fair.

171
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I once had a conversation with a guy

172
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: by the name of Jerry Rice Junior. Do you know

173
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: who his dad is? And yeah? And he was like,

174
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: you had no idea how difficult this was to try

175
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: to be a wide receiver and go make an NFL

176
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: team when your name is Jerry Rice Junior, like your

177
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: your expectations and the talk going around you completely different

178
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: than than any other player who might be in that position,

179
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: which is oh late draft, undraft whatever. So the whole

180
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: thing is is a little bit odd. But if those

181
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: are the two priorities, then yeah, carry I don't even

182
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: necessarily know if it's Golden State. I just know that

183
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: it's it's elsewhere, is probably the answer. I don't think

184
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: loyal to the Lakers is on this list.

185
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: No, I don't think loyalties at the top of its

186
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: list at all. I don't think it's ever been. It's

187
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: all It's always been about him, right, And that's just

188
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair thing to say. I mean,

189
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 2: even in the situations with him doing the taking my

190
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: talents to South Beach steal, like so I have a

191
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: big press conference about that. I mean, it's just like,

192
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: you know, it's it just says I'm I'm about me, right,

193
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: and you can frame in any way you want, but

194
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: that's the truth.

195
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: Well, here's the other thing I was thinking about. Here's

196
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: what's really fun, all right, eleventh hour conversation, trade deadline

197
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: is coming. It ends up that Joe lacub and Genie

198
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: Buss end up on the phone together. The Lakers say no,

199
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: but it still ends up with clutch. In other words,

200
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: Genie says, well, we say no, but what does Lebron want? Right?

201
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: And my immediately, my immediate thought is you.

202
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: Don't know.

203
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: The trade deadline is in eight hours, and you don't

204
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: know the answer to that question. And it ends up

205
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: with clutch. And then the whole thing is framed.

206
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: Us the public as whoa Lebron had no idea, like

207
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: this just came out of nowhere, As if Draymond Green's

208
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: first call, if he really wanted to push this would

209
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: be to his own owner. No, like He's gonna text

210
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: his best friend and be like, how we going to

211
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: make this happen?

212
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: And then it doesn't. But I guess what I'm saying

213
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 3: is it didn't happen.

214
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if it ever will happen, But I

215
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: don't believe for one second the reasoning that we were

216
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: given for it not happening.

217
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lebron's never in the dark about anything that's going

218
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: on in his life. And that's again, that's a fact, right.

219
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: I mean everything that he does, I mean even an interview,

220
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: even postgame stuff, all of his stuff is very much

221
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: attached to something that he has his hands on, right,

222
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: And I think that's just who he is.

223
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: Interesting, man, Can I ask one other question?

224
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: Sure?

225
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: So this goes public, woj Ramona Shelburne, somebody gave it

226
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: to him. Of course, who wants the story public? And why?

227
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: Oh, it's definitely Lebron because it's it's leverage again, right

228
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 2: with the Lakers saying they said no, it gives them

229
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: a little cushion to say, no, we're doing everything we

230
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: can to win and we're not going to trade our

231
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: best player. So that gives them a little solid ground, right,

232
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: But it also gives Lebron and it puts the power

233
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: in Lebron's court again, and so that's what he likes.

234
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: And so I think both situations are at peace with

235
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: what happened. It's not like one of those things that

236
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: got leaked from one person and the other didn't know.

237
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: They definitely knew, and then you come out pr pr

238
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: one O One is if you're trying to say face

239
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: for two individuals, or you talk about a marriage. We

240
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: talked about that before, Like I mean, if it's a

241
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: marriage and you have those joint statements come out, somebody

242
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: they're coming out with those joint statements, so everything's kind

243
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 2: of dead. And the rest can be left alone. This

244
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: is what we said, this is how we're operating, and

245
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: this is it, and that's what they did. All right,

246
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: this is gonna be fun. First and foremost, we want

247

294
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: I was. I was flabbergast at number one. But I

295
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: also think the just the audacity of calling for a

296
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: guy's job, we call for people jobs a little bit

297
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: too much. Number one.

298
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not into it. I'm not into it. I

299
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: really am not. I'm not like, like, I don't like

300
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: what what does this sound? Milk and cookies. I kind

301
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: of made it a agreement with myself years ago that

302
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: I would not use these microphones to call for people's jobs,

303
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: especially in cases where I'm not even embedded in that

304
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: city and have no real idea about the details that

305
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: are going on.

306
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's tough. I mean, obviously we live in

307
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: a in a take business that we work in a

308
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: take business, but it's it's one of those things where,

309
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the guys had so much success, and you know,

310
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: you think about guys who can come in and possibly

311
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: be a replacement. He made he made some good points,

312
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: and it was like, yeah, I hear you. There's been

313
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: situations where like in Tampa, you know, Dongee couldn't get

314
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: the job done, they took him out, and you know,

315
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: the next year, Goodon wins it. So you could see

316
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: those things and be like, okay, but you got to

317
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: think about this situation though, what he's done for them,

318
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: and especially with the forty nine ers not really having

319
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: that that stud at quarterback yet. I mean, if you

320
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: you tell me that if Kyle Shannon had was in

321
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: Kansas City with my homes, they wouldn't be doing the

322
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: same thing right now. And so that's that was my argument.

323
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: But also the double down on that is the person

324
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: that he called in to take his place, he said,

325
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, and I'm like, and I'm like, you got it.

326
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: You gotta stop that. And that's where I had the

327
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: more I was more in a disagreement with the whole

328
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: thing was Belichick's not He's not any any teams guy

329
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: right now. He's done. He can't relate to the players,

330
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: and so just that take just didn't sit well with me.

331
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: He's about to turn seventy two years old, and no,

332
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Rob Parker. I'm talking about Bill Belichick.

333
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: And you're being too nice and say this to Rob's face,

334
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: because he's a very good friend of mine. No, he

335
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: didn't make any good points. I listened to all of it.

336
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: He made zero good points. He made Rob Parker points,

337
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: which are like, I'm gonna grab this very very easy

338
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: piece of fruit to pull off of the tree, and

339
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that, and then I'm gonna chop it

340
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: into a bunch of pieces and put it into a smoothie.

341
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: Like No, I can obliterate this, and I can do

342
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: it long or short or either way.

343
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 1: But the idea of like we've got an example here

344
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area of what you're talking about, like

345
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: the Tony Dungee situation, it's Steve Kerr, Like Mark Jackson

346
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: built this warrior thing up to a certain level, and

347
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: it couldn't quite get over the top, right, and then

348
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr walked in and a dynasty was born. How

349
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: much of that is Steve steph blah blah blah. That's

350
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: ancient history. But the point is is I can see

351
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: that in a general context. But that doesn't mean that

352
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: you do that every time somebody just falls short. I mean,

353
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: if you're the Philadelphia Eagles, I know the way that

354
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: the whole thing has played out, but you're literally gonna

355
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: tell me go back in time, it was the right

356
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: thing to fire Andy Reid because he was a bad coach, right,

357
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: like who quote couldn't get it done. And now he's

358
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: some unbelievable genius. He knows all these things about football

359
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: that he didn't know when he was with the Eagles.

360
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: He didn't know how to.

361
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: Coach the fourth quarter. No, No, he didn't have the

362
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 3: best player in the game then and now he does.

363
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: Like we can really just do.

364
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: That in one sentence. But Kyle Shanahan, and I want

365
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: to give a shout to a different FSR colleague, and

366
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: that's Jonas Knox because I'm driving around yesterday listening to

367
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: him make a point that I've been trying to make

368
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: all year. Those of you ripping Kyle Shanahan on the

369
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: down low have actually, at the same time this year

370
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: been calling him the greatest coach in the game.

371
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: And you don't even realize it. You don't even realize

372
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 3: it because.

373
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Every single time that you call Brock Purdy a product

374
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: of the system, every time you say, while this seventh rounder,

375
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: he's just got weapons around him and a genius play caller.

376
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan, how does it feel when you look at Jimmy.

377
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: Garoppolo's career now and think about the fact that he

378
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: took that quarterback to a ten point lead in the

379
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of a Super Bowl.

380
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: That quarterback. So look around the league. Jonas made this point.

381
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: I agree the forty nine ers were.

382
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 3: Favored in this game.

383
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: In other words, you think so much of this coach

384
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: that you actually expected him to beat Andy Reid and

385
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes with a little seventh rounder who carries up backpack.

386
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: You expected him to beat him, and then when he

387
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: lost in overtime, you suggest that he should lose his job. Look,

388
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: you're allowed to say whatever you want, but you sound

389
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: ridiculous when you say that.

390
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: I just hope everybody say it, but just know you

391
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: sound ridiculous.

392
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I hear you.

393
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: Man.

394
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: It was one of those things where I was I mean,

395
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: I saw the Breakdown coming to the show, and I

396
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: was like, oh, that's interesting. So that's my first thing.

397
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm interested, that's interesting. And then you know,

398
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: you hear, hear why, and you just it doesn't hold merit.

399
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 6: Right.

400
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: This is one of those things where I mean, again,

401
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: we live in a society where what have you done

402
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: to me?

403
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 1: Right?

404
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: Now, not even lately. What have you done for me

405
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: right now? And so if the results don't yield to

406
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: what people want it to be in that moment, yeah,

407
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: there's gonna be knee jerk reactions to it. But again,

408
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: the guy's a hell of a coach obviously, and he

409
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 2: does not have well Perty might end up being that guy,

410
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: but he I think I think Perty's.

411
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: Fantastic, you know what I mean, He's fantastic. But but

412
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 3: you get what I'm saying.

413
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: I I don't know how every the national narrative can

414
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: be like wow, system system him, which means.

415
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: You think the system is amazing it is, Yeah, and.

416
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: Then you and then you lose a football game in

417
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: overtime to Patrick Mahomes and you go, I think we're

418
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: done with this guy.

419
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: I know, Mark, all right, listen to this though, So

420
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: what about the obviously genius We know that he's great

421
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: at what he does. What do you think about the

422
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 2: decision in overtime? Does he is he to be blamed for?

423
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: That?

424
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: Is he?

425
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you asked, because I don't want the

426
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: take that. I just had to make it sound like

427
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: I think Kyle Shanahan coached a perfect game because they

428
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: don't think that.

429
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: So let's get into why did they why did they in.

430
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: Your mind carry lose? And I'll answer the ot question

431

Speaker 7: You Wow, Zave.

484
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: Great stuff as always, and thank you for mentioning that

485
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: all thirty teams have reported. Unfortunately, most of the top

486
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: free agents have not.

487
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 7: Standing by Yeah, I mean, my god, the Boris four.

488
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: What do we what are we doing?

489
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 6: What?

490
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 4: Like?

491
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 7: I mean, and no sooner had Baseball suggested, you know,

492
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 7: maybe we should have like a free agent signing period

493
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 7: where there's a definite start and end to this in

494
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 7: the offseason, and Borro says, no, no artificial deadline, just

495
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 7: bringing down the value of my clients.

496
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: True, he's not wrong, he's not wrong, but baseball could

497
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: use a little gusting up on I don't know, being

498
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: interesting and fun. I mean free agency in the other sports.

499
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: It just kills baseball because of this. Like and the

500
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: Boris clients always seem to be the ones who has

501
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: spring chaining reports. They're just they're still I'm sure Blake

502
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: Snell is still playing video games on Twitch.

503
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably with Cody Bellinger.

504
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: Right right, which sounds like a ton of fun. But anyway, actually, Carrie,

505
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: we'll discuss that a little bit later. Thanks Steve, great stuff. Okay,

506
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: here's I'll answer your question. The overtime thing. So here's

507
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: where I started during the game I'm like, well, yeah,

508
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: no brainer. You got to take the ball, right, because

509
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: if you're both tied, you've got to have the first

510
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: sudden death. I'm not giving Patrick Mahomes the first sudden

511
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: death and only needs is a field goal, and he's

512
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: got a kicker who can hit from six. That felt

513
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: ridiculous to me, but then life unfolds. The forty nine

514
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: ers all admit their.

515
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: Confusion exactly and the Chiefs, and the Chiefs.

516
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: Admit, well, no, we would have gone for two, like

517
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: if it goes touchdown, touchdown, we're going for two. Now,

518
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: apparently the teams could have traded field goals, but that

519
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: feels like that's too wobbly of a reason alone to

520
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: do it. So here's where I've arrived. You can convince

521
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: me of either with this caveat. If you're going to

522
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: defer and give the Chiefs the ball first, which is

523
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: where it feels like America has arrived, is the no

524
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: brainer thing to do. If you're going to do that,

525
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: you're promising yourself, your team, and your fans right there

526
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: in that moment that if Mahome scores a touchdown, you

527
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: now know you need to go the other way and

528
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 1: score a touchdown. If you do, you go for two period.

529
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that that was the Niners plan, but

530
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: I there is zero chance in hell that I am

531
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: giving Patrick Mahomes the ball back in sudden death when

532
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: all they needs is a field goal that I am

533
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: totally uncomfortable with. Right, So I will arrive at everybody

534
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: else's answer, which is, you got to defer if and

535
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: only if you commit to if we trade touchdowns, we're

536
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: going for the deuce.

537
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: All right, one more thing, Okay, I understand, I got that.

538
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: That's fine. So down the stretch, San Francisco goes, you know,

539
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: driving they're going. I think it's a minute and fifty

540
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: something seconds left in the game. Possibly it's around.

541
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 3: There coming out of the two minute warning foot.

542
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: And four yes, yes, why not run the ball there

543
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: and make Kenness City to use the time out? Just

544
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: like situational things that were happening in this game.

545
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: That no, it.

546
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: Makes other people's arguments an argument just by game management

547
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: things and things that as the head coach, you have

548
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: to make those those critical critical decisions, but also have

549
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: a real game plan in those situations. So preparedness is

550
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: a thing. So go ahead, Mark, here's my issue with that.

551
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: My issue with that is, first of all, Kansas City

552
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: at that point in the game had been doing pretty

553
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: good job is stopping the run. And I've heard this

554
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: argument where people say, well, no, you're like make it

555
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: four down territory. If on third and four you get two,

556
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 1: go for it on fourth and two. And I'm like, yo,

557
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: your aggressiveness has gotta have a cap on it somewhere,

558
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: like sure, for crying out loud, it's a tie game.

559
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: It's a tie game with under two minutes to go

560
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. I think I'm just not going

561
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: to like dismiss three points in that sort of a way.

562
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: And I'd also argue, like the way you framed that

563
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: question was, well, you make Kansas City use the time out.

564
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's go there, they run the ball, Casey

565
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: calls a timeout and now there's a minute forty five

566
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: on the clock, but you're stopped short. You kick the

567
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: field goal. Yeah, well, now you're kicking the ball to

568
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City and they've got a minute and forty and

569
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: still one time out. That's plenty of time.

570
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is for sure like it just for me,

571
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: that risk does not equal the reward.

572
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: I love that Kyle Shanahan, who is often accused in

573
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: these situations of not being aggressive enough. You know, he

574
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: went for it on fourth down the drive earlier, got it.

575
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: It led to a touchdown. That's what got the Niners

576
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: the lead in the fourth quarter. Get that first down.

577
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought Brandon Ayuk. I thought Brandon Ayuk

578
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: was opened out of the slot and Brock didn't see him. Yeah,

579
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: I thought that too. Yep, he did, Brock, party could

580
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: have thrown it to Ayuk. They probably get the first down,

581
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: and if they do, they win the game. And there's

582
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: about ten plays where I could say that.

583
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's and I'm with you, Mark, So I'm

584
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 2: just throwing hypotheticals out there with you on that on

585
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: that topic. But yeah, you go win the game. I mean,

586
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: and they showed that they were doing that down. And

587
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: I mean even when they went for the fourth down.

588
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: I didn't think they would go for the fourth down.

589
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: I thought they kicked the field goal. They went for

590
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: the fourth down, got the first down, you know what

591
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 2: I mean.

592
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: So I was terrified. I'm like, you know, it's like

593
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: those no no, no, yes, no, out of those situations.

594
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: And I'm at a Super Bowl party and I'm talking,

595
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: you know, like everybody's asking me questions because oh, you

596
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: played the game, what are they gonna do? I'm like, yeah,

597
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: they kicked the field goal here, and I'm like, oh, they're.

598
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: Going for Okay, okay, Kyle, all right, let me ask

599
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: you this real quick and then we can talk about

600
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: it a little bit more. But if I just open

601
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: ended question and said, why do you think they lost

602
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: the game? Yeah, well, how would you answer that?

603
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: I think the game was lost in the first in

604
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: the first quarter, and I know a lot of times,

605
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you can look at the total sum of

606
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: the game and you can find and pick and choose

607
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 2: certain moments of why you lose. But they they it

608
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: seemed like in that game, the flow of the game

609
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 2: they were in control of, even though they weren't really

610
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: obviously making hay or putting points on the board. It

611
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: just seemed like they had Kansas City bottled up. And

612
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: the fact that they weren't able to sustain drives in

613
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: that first half to get points, I think that's where

614
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: they lost the game. I think, obviously Kansas City did

615
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: a great job of committing, committing to the run and

616
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: stopping stopping the run and making making Brock have to

617
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: make tough third down put the third down, throw the

618
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: first downs, where obviously Spagnoy's a genius on third down,

619
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: So you're not gonna, you know, for a guy like

620
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: Perty who hasn't played enough ball yet. And you know,

621
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: obviously I don't know how how many answers to the

622
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: tests he has when he goes to the line of scrimmage,

623
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: But I don't know if he had enough time or

624
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: Shanahan had enough confidence in him to get them into

625
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: the right play in those situations. So I think there's

626
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: a combination of that where you know, Shanahan knows how

627
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: good and how complex and how deep Spack know you

628
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: bag is when it comes to putting pressure on the quarterback.

629
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: And so there's a there's a fine line of being

630
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: being being aggressive and being a little a little a

631
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: little safe because they're still in the game of not

632
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: wanting to have Purty make that key turnover. Yep, and

633
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: those things happen in the game where you have to

634
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: trust that guy. If you know that guy is the

635
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: guy at the quarterback position, you give him enough answers

636
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: to the test to where obviously you can if you

637
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 2: know the blitz is coming, and you've been prepared, you

638
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: can make those plays. But it was it was moments

639
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: in that first half, first quarter where those third down

640
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: little completions to keep the drive going for San Franz

641
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: weren't there for them. And if they make one or

642
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: two of those and get a little lead, I think

643
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: that game, I think they win that game by double digits.

644
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: And so that's where I kind of stand with it.

645
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't forget the Christian McCaffrey fumble. They were flying

646
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: down the field. They were gonna score fast, three, probably

647
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: seven the way that was looking. All right, we're in

648
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: the tyrack dot com studios. Yeah, I got an answer

649
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: to the question. And it's just like it's an unsatisfying one,

650
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: but but but to me, it's the answer. We'll give

651
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: that to you next coming up with Kerry Rhodes Mark Willard,

652
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:21,520

Speaker 1: Okay, in the tire Rag dot com studios. I don't know, Carrie,

658
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: did you see this coming? Did you did you know

659
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: that the Tyrese Haliburton in his in his home arena

660
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: was going to be the MVP of the All Star Game.

661
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: I did not see that coming.

662
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: No, no, no, did it happen? No, it's yes, it's

663
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: over won the award. Yep, yep. You had fifteen points

664
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: in the first three and a half. It's the game.

665
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.

666
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

667
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 8: No.

668
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he hit all the three pointers, which is which

669
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: is not terribly surprising. It almost feels scripted. Oh the

670
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: script I know, you know scripted content. Care so I

671
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: do run that value? Now, this is this is unsatisfying.

672
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: It stinks for sports radio. But the forty nine Ers

673
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: lost the Super Bowl because too many of the players

674
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: didn't play well.

675
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: They made mistakes in big moments and there was just

676
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 3: a bunch of them.

677
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: And when a team is not buttoned up like that,

678
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: does the head coach have a piece of the responsibility.

679
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: Of course he does. Of course he does. Like the

680
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: whole picture like it's it's you know, and again it's

681
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: It does not make for a great radio SoundBite. I

682
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: can't sit here and battle Rob Parker's fire Shanahan with

683
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: Spencer Burford went the wrong way. I can't do that. No,

684
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: that's boring. You don't even know who Spencer Burford is.

685
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: But in overtime on third and four from the five

686
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: yard line or whatever it was, with two wide receivers

687
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: literally standing by themselves in the end zone, you had

688
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: Chris Jones with an unblocked run at brock Party. And

689
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: if Spencer Burford had literally just stood where he was

690
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: standing and not moved, he didn't even need to get

691
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: out of his crouch.

692
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 3: If he had simply not left, that would have at.

693
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: Least made Jones go around him, and that would have

694
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: been plenty of time for brock Perty to pick either

695
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: of his wide open touchdowns, either of them. And then

696
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: then it's twenty six nineteen in overtime, and who knows

697
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: where we're going next. Are the Chiefs able to go

698
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: all the way and get a touchdown? Do they actually

699
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: go for two? Do they get it? But that, as

700
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: we've discussed, Carrie, that's one of probably eight to ten plays,

701
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, Darryl Louder Junior having his foot being the

702
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: wrong spot on a punt or whatever. You all don't

703
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: even know who these people are, So I can't argue, well,

704
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's fired because he's a joker in the big game.

705
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: Great SoundBite.

706
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: What the hell does that even mean? What does that mean?

707
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 3: That's not what happened out there.

708
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: Hey, that's gonna be the lasting impression. We're talking about

709
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: it still today on Sunday. So he made his mark.

710
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: And I know when I was looking at some of

711
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: the comments from the podcast though, I mean a lot

712
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: of people thought it was an Acid nine take, but.

713
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 4: It is.

714
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 8: But I might have been one of the people with

715
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 8: that call. Man, I think I saw I saw it.

716
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 8: It was a MW nineteen seventy three. That was you right,

717
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 8: That's right, that's my burner exactly. No, it's fun to

718
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 8: talk about though, Mega. I mean it's one of those

719
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 8: things man. For Yeah, I mean the guy is gonna

720
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 8: eventually win one. And I mean the team as long

721
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 8: as they keep that team together, Now that's a different story.

722
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 3: I mean they have that's a different story.

723
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: Yes, they have guys that are that are starting to

724
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 2: you know, want to be paid and some want to

725
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 2: be gone and demanding certain things. So now we got

726
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 2: to see if they can actually keep those guys together

727
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: to go after it again.

728
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: I mean, no doubt, and and and if if, if

729
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: you really need someone or something about which to criticize

730
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, I think the whole game management thing.

731
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 3: Is the wrong spot. Let's go somewhere else.

732
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: Why did you hire Steve Wilks in the first place,

733
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: if that's how you felt about the whole thing? In

734
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: other words, if he needed to do a crash course

735
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: and learn a completely, you know, different style of defense,

736
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: you went off the tree for the first time in

737
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: your career and and brought someone in and and it

738
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: was it was.

739
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: It was a bad marriage from the beginning.

740
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: For those of you didn't follow forty nine or football,

741
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: they were they were kind of throwing I mean, he

742
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: was throwing Steve Wilkes under the bus back in week seven, yes,

743
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: for mistakes that he was making or perceived mistakes. So like,

744
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: why did you do that? And why does it look

745
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: like your team has mentally come unraveled in in the

746
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: wake of this loss. Those are the questions I have, right.

747
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: Right, And that's it. And and that's the other thing

748
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 2: with the Wilkes thing. I mean, people are saying that

749
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 2: obviously they're using Wilkes as escapegoat, But if you really

750
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 2: paid attention throughout the year, there was moments early on

751
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: in the year where you know, Wilkes job was kind

752
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 2: of in jeopardy at that point as well. I mean,

753
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 2: there was there was rumblings of them not being a

754
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: good fit, and obviously the defense wasn't playing as well

755
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 2: during that stretch. So this isn't something I mean, obviously

756
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 2: it looks that way, but it was stuff that was

757
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: going on early on that people may have missed.

758
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: Week seven, Niners are five and one, coming off their

759
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: first loss in Cleveland. Steve wilk calls U zero blitz

760
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: yes with twenty five seconds left on the clock before halftime,

761
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: and the Vikings turn it into about an eighty yard touchdown.

762
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: Kashan Ahan holds up press conference two days later and says,

763
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: Steve knows he messed up.

764
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 3: I'm like, you said that into a microphone.

765
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is not going well. Yeah, it's

766
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: not going well. So you're right, Carrie, that thing was

767
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: destined to fail or be a divorce from the beginning. Okay,

768
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: coming up next, let's get to that free agency question.

769
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 1: Does there need to be some sort of a deadline?

770
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: Is Scott Boris right? We're watching the All Star Game,

771
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Mark Willard carry Rhodes. This is Fox Sports Radio. Remember

772
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: we started the show off tonight with the idea of control.

773
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: Who has it? I loved your point that and I

774
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: forget the exact word you use, but control is basically

775
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: a figment of your imagination. Even if you think you

776
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: have it, you don't. And I certainly think if the

777
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: Lakers think I loved it. Although yeah, the Lakers have

778
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: declined to trade Lebron James. Oh, you'll do whatever Lebron

779
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: tells you to do. That's how this works. Are you

780
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: new here?

781
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 3: So okay, let's talk more about control.

782
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: Yep. Isn't that what Rob Manfred and Scott Boris are

783
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: talking about? As we get ready to start the baseball season,

784
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: they're now calling them the Boris four. I love it.

785
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 3: It's almost like there's some little political.

786
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: Wing out here. We've got the Boris four. So we

787
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: got four free agents who are unsigned, Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger,

788
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: Matt Chapman, Jordan Montgomery. I think I've got those four

789
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: and they remain unsigned spring training. His open pitchers and

790
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: catchers have reported, and so has everybody else for that matter.

791
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 1: And we're moving along toward the start of the season

792
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: in a month and a half and these guys haven't

793
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: even signed. Rob Manfred says we probably should have a

794
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: deadline for free agent agency. Scott Boris says, you can't

795
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: just grab a pen and pick a day on the

796
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: calendar and make free agents take less money because you

797
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: circle that date. So they're after control. Yeah, I can

798
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: sort of see the point on both sides, but we

799
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: could break it down a little bit.

800
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 2: What do you think, Well, as a league, you have

801
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: the right to enforce enforce what you want to enforce.

802
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: I mean obviously, I mean there's steps to make that happen.

803
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: But obviously if you wanted to, you know, get to

804
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: a point where again we have some stability and accountability

805
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 2: on both parties to get something done. And also if

806
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 2: you're trying to make a product better, which we talked

807
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: about earlier, have some excitement around certain things and signing

808
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: dates and all this stuff, then you would do that.

809
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: If you're the person in quote unquote control, right, you

810
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: would have the ability to do that make that happen.

811
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 2: Obviously Boris and his track record and you know, as

812
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: being a superagent and having that type of relationship with

813
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: that type of control over what he's had going for him.

814
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 2: Then you know, there's a battle of those two wheels

815
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: that are happening right now. But if you're in it

816
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 2: for the betterment of your sport, of your game, of

817
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: your job, or whatever it is you do, then you

818
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: have to sometimes concede to make the ultimate choice for everybody,

819
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 2: right And I think that's where you know you have

820
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: to get to. And I think you have to get

821
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: to as MLB and as an agent or agency. I

822
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 2: think there needs to be a middle ground there.

823
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: I totally get where you're coming from. I mean, that's

824
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: the thing like baseball as a whole, forget just this

825
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: one issue. They need somebody to shake them. They need somebody.

826
00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 3: It's like, you guys just don't have that entertainment and

827
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 3: flare in you do you like you all?

828
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: They can't even like hire someone like they can't they

829
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: can't figure it out. You look at baseball in other countries,

830
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: people are dancing people, I mean, you know what I mean, people.

831
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 3: Are freaking out in the stands. They're going crazy, and

832
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 3: we're over here.

833
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: Just like.

834
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 3: Like that's that's the noise of a baseball game.

835
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 2: But Mark, that's the noise of the grandfather getting off

836
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 2: the couch.

837
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: As well, right exactly, like the noise of baseball is

838
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: what happens when you turn forty five and then you

839
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: make a putt in golf and then you lean down

840
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 1: to pick up the ball. That's it's like, my god,

841
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: can you guys? Can you get yourselves out of this?

842
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: And the answer every year is is no. With all

843
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: that said, Scott's not wrong. Yeah, he's not wrong. Now

844
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: here's the other thing that will happen. Baseball has more

845
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: leverage here than they they would think. I know that

846
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: the Players Union is very strong in that sport, but

847
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: baseball can easily just be like you already have a

848
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: faux deadline. It's called opening day. So in other words,

849
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: the second you don't sign as a free agent once

850
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: opening Day comes, well, now you're losing money. Work day

851
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: goes by, you didn't get paid. It's kind of like

852
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: if you own a home that you want to rent

853
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: out and you're like, I'm going to price this at

854
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars and nobody's biting, and nobody's biting, and

855
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: one month goes by, and three months goes by, and

856
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: five months goes by, and it's like, you could have

857
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: priced this at forty three hundred. You think you're losing

858
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: seven hundred a month, you would have come out ahead, yes,

859
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: because now six months have gone by and you've gotten zero.

860
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: So like that deadline already sits there. I get what

861
00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: Scott's saying. It's like, why why do you just first? Okay,

862
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: we get to January thirty first, and I'm just like, welp,

863
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: I guess I better sign.

864
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 3: You know, No, you've got to use opening day as.

865
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: Leverage for both sides. For both sides, the team wants

866
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: the player and the player wants to get paid.

867
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Mark, It's one of those things. But you're

868
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: one hundred percent correct. But I think it's you said it.

869
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 2: I mean, baseball is such a traditional sport and they

870
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 2: don't like to do anything that shakes up the foundation

871
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 2: of their forefathers, right. It really feels that way like

872
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 2: any other sport, like obviously, like basketball, NBA is really

873
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: extreme on trying to monetize everything, right, and it's almost

874
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: to a point where it's gimmicky, and you can see

875
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: that right with the end season tournament. But at least

876
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 2: they're trying, right, And that's the thing that I you know,

877
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 2: I'm a believer in I mean, you can stay the

878
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: status quo as long as you want, obviously that's your right.

879
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 2: But when the status quo is what we just described,

880
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: a fifty five year old man getting off the couch,

881
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 2: then something's kind of wrong. And if they don't see that,

882
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 2: then I think there's there's a problem with the infrastructure

883
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 2: and what they're trying to get accomplished.

884
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: I am so glad that you just brought up the

885
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: NBA In Season tournament? Can we can we pause on

886
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: the baseball thing?

887
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 2: And can we sure?

888
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: Can we play a little game?

889
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.

890
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: Who won the NBA In Season Tournament this year? Well?

891
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: I only know that because I'm in LA and it's

892
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 2: It was the Lakers.

893
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: Do you remember who they beat? They beat?

894
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: Wait, come on, you know, I'll get it. I'll figure

895
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: it out. Now, you'll get it.

896
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: You'll get it.

897
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: But I have your pause already. Okay, but no, yeah,

898
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 3: go ahead.

899
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 2: It was the Pacers.

900
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: That's correct, that's great. Somebody just fed that. No they no, no, no, no?

901
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: Did you google it? You googled it?

902
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 2: Did nothing? I just thought, okay, all right, do.

903
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 3: You remember do you remember who the other two teams

904
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 3: that were in the final.

905
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 2: Four all right, now you're doing something. Okay, wait Milwaukee

906
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 2: mm hmm. And because the Pacers bill Milwaukee and who

907
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,280
Speaker 2: did oh the Suns?

908
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: Right? Am? I right? I'm so sorry that was you

909
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: got one out of two the New Orleans Pelicans the

910
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: answer we were looking for, Carrie, although I'd argue you

911
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: kind of did well enough that my point isn't like

912
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: a home ride.

913
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 3: It might have been like a double down the line.

914
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: But the NBA Cup as they called it, the NBA Cup,

915
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: and you admitted you only knew this because you live

916
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: in LA. And I was impressed that after a count

917
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: to fifteen and you were able to remember that they

918
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: beat the Pacers. But I listen, I hate ever sounding

919
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: like a fuddy duddy. It's not my thing like it, don't.

920
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't wish everything was like it was ten to

921
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. I don't want to ever be like that,

922
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: like we're here now, let's do now. But this NBA

923
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: and season tournament for me, was one of those topics

924
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: that I had the hardest time getting behind because I

925
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: was like, I wanna, I want to be into what

926
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: you're doing. You had cool paint on the floor. That

927
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: was fun. It's different different is fun. But I racked

928
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: my brain and I read. I read all the rules.

929
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: I went through the whole thing, and I'm like, you

930
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 3: guys just made it a whole event.

931
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: Yep.

932
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 3: And I don't think you thought at any point what's

933
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 3: in this for the fans?

934
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: Right? I have no idea? Am I supposed to be

935
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 1: excited about this? Because the floor was like a different color?

936
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: What's in it for the fan? Like the players are like,

937
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: we get money. I'm like, you already get money. And

938
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: I was openly rooting against my favorite team in the

939
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: N Season Tournament because I was like, because why do

940
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: I want my favorite team.

941
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 3: Playing extra games? You're in the age of load management.

942
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 9: You're already telling me you can't play eighty two and

943
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 9: now you're gonna go play eighty three or or like

944
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 9: I don't want And by the way, when you get

945
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 9: knocked out of the N Season Tournament early, you know

946
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 9: how there's those scheduled games over the next week and

947
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 9: a half that are sort of like TBD as far

948
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 9: as who your opponent was.

949
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, you got easy teams.

950
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 3: So like the Warriors got knocked out and they got

951
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 3: a game against Portland.

952
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's a win.

953
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: I Carrie, I was openly rooting against my favorite team too,

954
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: because they reached a point where they needed to beat

955
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings, but by eleven, because there's another I'm like,

956
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: what is it? What am I watching? They had to

957
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: beat the Kings by eleven? I was like, beat them

958
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: by nine, beat them by nine, get the win, then

959
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: get another freebie win against Portland and don't play an

960
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: extra game. Yeah, am I am? I supposed to like

961
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,280
Speaker 1: want them to go to the NBA Cup so Steph

962
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: Curry can get five hundred grand.

963
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 3: I just I'm sorry, I tried.

964
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: I lost. It was lost on me.

965
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 3: What what what was what was in it for me?

966
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: Right? Right?

967
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 2: What was the real thing with the fans? It was

968
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: supposed it was supposed to be it was going to

969
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,760
Speaker 2: be competitive basketball, right, it was going to be teams

970
00:51:54,840 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 2: playing really hard in uh in November basket. So, I

971
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 2: mean that was the whole proposal. It was to get,

972
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 2: you know, teams to play for something. As a fan,

973
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 2: obviously you get to see a better product, that's the theory, right,

974
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: But again, these guys, you know, you know, maybe in

975
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 2: one of those games when it was a good game,

976
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 2: a good team. They played hard and it was fun.

977
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. I wasn't a big fan

978
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 2: of it either, man, And you know, having having these

979
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 2: guys out there running around on these super colorful courts,

980
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 2: it didn't really bump me in a direction of caring

981
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 2: about it in November. So I don't think it was

982
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: a huge win. I think it was a win that

983
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: the Lakers were in it in the last game, right,

984
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 2: I mean, people care about Lebron, so I guess that helped, right,

985
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

986
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: It was it was. It was weird. It was weird

987
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: for me. I'm glad that you brought up playing hard.

988
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: An NBA legend says that he really really wants everybody

989
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: to get back to playing hard in the All Star Game.

990
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: Do we do?

991
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 3: We want that as fans? We can get into that.

992

1000
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: Huge spoiler alert, gosh, I hope no one's driving home

1001
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: right now. They're like, I tape the game, but spoiler alert,

1002
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: they're not, and they won't. No, I don't even know

1003
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: if they should. I don't know. Where is sports fandom

1004
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: on this. You can answer this. I get it to

1005
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: where people like don't like load management at the same

1006
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: time the whole like, let's have peace rose end someone's

1007
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 1: career at the All Star Game. We don't like that either,

1008
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: Like I don't. I don't want Paul George to break

1009
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 1: his leg in the All Star Game. You know, I don't.

1010
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't.

1011
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 3: That doesn't make any sense to me.

1012
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: So that's not the answer. I'm not sure how to

1013
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: make this thing compelling. I'm I'm I'm really not. I'm

1014
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: open to any ideas, but I just I don't know

1015
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: if there's a way to do it anymore, unless unless

1016
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: you gamble. I mean, as one of the honestly, it's

1017
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: one of the only things I can think of. My

1018
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: son a few hours ago, he's on this thing. There's

1019
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: this app you know. I mean there's a thousand of

1020
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: them is called like prize picks or whatever. Okay, and

1021
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: he'll do this, He'll come up, he did, Dad, what

1022
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: do you think? Check it out? And you know it's

1023
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: like Jokic over four and a half assists, right right,

1024
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: Jannis is over nine rebounds or whatever. He's got like

1025
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: four players and he's tracking what those players are doing.

1026
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,959
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, that's fun.

1027
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1028
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: Outside of that, I don't I just I don't know

1029
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: where you find the urgency and the heartstrings attached to

1030
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: this whole thing.

1031
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the whole lure of any any All

1032
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: Star game. My Outside of baseball, I think baseball is

1033
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 2: still pretty fun because it's kind of it's such a

1034
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 2: skilled it's a skilled game, right, Like you got to

1035
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 2: be really good at pitching if you're a pitcher and

1036
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 2: you're in, and you got to be really good as

1037
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 2: a hitter, and nobody wants to be embarrassed in that situation, right,

1038
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 2: So it's that's still pretty solid. Outside of that, I mean, football,

1039
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 2: it's a joke. Obviously. Now they're playing to hand touch flag,

1040
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 2: which is fun. Flag is actually not bad. And the

1041
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: I guess in the wake of we talk about wanting

1042
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 2: to protect the players and not get hurt. So that

1043
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: makes sense. And Flag globally is becoming such a big game,

1044
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 2: it's about to be an Olympic game, right, so that

1045
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 2: makes sense. With the NBA, though, I mean, you're I mean,

1046
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 2: even in our Grandfather's day with the All Star Game,

1047
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 2: we talked about that in earlier segment. Those guys didn't

1048
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 2: play hard the whole game. They played hard when it

1049
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 2: mattered down the stretch in the second half. First half,

1050
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 2: you knew it was going to be guys getting layups

1051
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 2: and dunks, and that's part of it. Second half, the

1052
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 2: team's played a little bit more competitively and harder, and

1053
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 2: that was fun. It was cool to see that. Right nowadays,

1054
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they could still go back to

1055
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 2: that and maybe have some squeeze a little juice out

1056
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 2: of it with the NBA All Star Game, But I mean,

1057
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: I really don't see. I mean, these guys would much

1058
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 2: rather be on break right now at this point in

1059
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 2: the season. So I don't know. I don't know the

1060
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: answer to that either, Mark, But I think my answer,

1061
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,959
Speaker 2: if I had to give one, would be just dish

1062
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: out the award and give them a plaque and we

1063
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 2: don't watch sports for four days, you know what I mean?

1064
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 2: I think that would be my take on it.

1065
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: Well, I just you know, you look at these and

1066
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: it's almost like what I was just saying, with a

1067
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 1: little gambling app and an individual parlay, Like I think

1068
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: we just have to accept that that's what this is now.

1069
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: The All Star Game is about individuals. And maybe it

1070
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: always was, but like you know, the game we just

1071
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: played with the nd season tournament, if I went back

1072
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: in time and asked you in any given year to

1073
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: tell me who won the All Star Game the year before,

1074
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah, for God's sakes, I mean, so why play hard?

1075
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: Why should they? Nobody cares about the outcome of the game.

1076
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: And if you don't care about the outcome of the game,

1077
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: why should you play hard? You should actually these games.

1078
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: If you really want to encourage these players to do something,

1079
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: I would encourage them to turn this into the Harlem

1080
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: Globe travers. That's way more fun. I'd love to see

1081
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: Stephen Dame pull up from half court, you know what

1082
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Like with Jokich is going in for a layup,

1083
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: pull us pants down. I don't care, Like, honestly, make

1084
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: him make a joke out of it, because really all

1085
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: anyone wants to see is the great performers perform. We

1086
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: always want to see that. But in a regular season game,

1087
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: there's also a crowd that is invested in the outcome

1088
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: who wins. We're not gonna that. There's none of that here.

1089
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: So I just like I almost turned this back to Larry.

1090
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: Larry hopes they play hard. If Larry were sitting right here,

1091
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: I'd be like, why right right, and answer that, why

1092
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: why do you care? Right? Well?

1093
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 2: They want obviously the the game right like, for the

1094
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 2: purity of the game. Like the purists would play hard

1095
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 2: no matter if we were If the game was an

1096
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 2: exhibition game, they didn't count. If it's an all star game,

1097
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 2: it would it. Even if that doesn't count, we still

1098
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 2: play hard as a chance for us to be grateful

1099
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 2: because we're in this position. So I understand his stance.

1100
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 2: I would guess that's his stance. But again, these guys

1101
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 2: are more worried about their brands and their likelihood of injury,

1102
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 2: which a lot of these guys aren't healthy anyway. They've

1103
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 2: been they've played how many games so far?

1104
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: Right now? Yeah? I mean, you know more than half

1105
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: more than half. Exactly, we're closing in on fifty. Some

1106
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: have already gotten there, I think.

1107
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 2: I mean, there was a quote from Poor Zingis, which

1108
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 2: who's probably the biggest All Star snub in this game

1109
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 2: and he's not there. He was like, the question was

1110
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 2: do you care that you were snub in this game?

1111
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 2: And he was like, no, I got a chance to

1112
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 2: go work on my tan and get some rest. So

1113
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 2: it's like, I'm sure he's not the only one that

1114
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 2: feels that way.

1115
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, like every year when and this isn't

1116
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: just about the game. This is about the festivities as

1117
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: a whole. Yes, like, look for some new things to do.

1118
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: I didn't even watch the Dunk Contest last night, but

1119
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: just based on checking in on social media, did not

1120
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: appear too many people had a very good time watching it,

1121
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: exactly like the Dunk Contest has now become something where

1122
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: it's like it's almost like like a plan It's almost

1123
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: like the Super Bowl halftime show, Like people are planning.

1124
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: They're like, I can't wait to get to Twitter to

1125
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: rip this. It's like if you hate, then just don't watch. Exactly,

1126
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: don't watch. But I can tell you because me and

1127
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: my girl ended up at a restaurant or just having

1128
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: a cocktail and some advertisers last night, and who's in

1129
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: the middle of the three point shooting contest and that

1130
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:26,919
Speaker 1: still will like draw my eye.

1131
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 3: That's okay, that's fine.

1132
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: And then the Steph Curry Sabrina Yanescu thing like that,

1133
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: especially with Caitlin Clark kind of on the way here

1134
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: out of Iowa. I would look for more ways to

1135
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: include and it doesn't have to just be women, like,

1136
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: look for new ways to include new people who are interesting,

1137
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: people who we want to watch. I mean, that's the

1138
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: definition of a celebrity. We want to stare at you,

1139
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: We want to see what you do. You may have

1140
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: hated it out there, although I don't really understand why,

1141
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: but there's no arguing what Taylor Swift did for this

1142
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: whole picture this year, right, it made it more interesting.

1143
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: There's no like, there's too much data to suggest that

1144
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: that's a fact. Right.

1145
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 2: But again, the thing that you just said, Mark, it's

1146
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 2: still it comes down to the skill, right, Like the

1147
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 2: three point shootout is a skill that yes, you cannot

1148
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 2: most people in America, in the world can't do at

1149
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 2: the level that those guys can do. It right where

1150
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 2: you can actually you talk about data like, that's a

1151
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 2: proven data point. Most people cannot shoot a three pointer

1152
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 2: like Steph Curry or Sabrina and that school, right, So

1153
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 2: that's interesting. I want to see what happens with that.

1154
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 2: We know all these guys on this court right now

1155
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 2: are the best at what they do, but we've seen

1156
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 2: them do it before, so it's not even exhilarating anyway

1157
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 2: from that standpoint for myself.

1158
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: Right right, I actually just saw someone now kind of

1159
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: remark and it's a fair point, you know what. For

1160
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:05,439
Speaker 1: as much as we criticize defense in the NBA, yep,

1161
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: they must be doing something because when you watch these

1162
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: guys when there's no defense being played, they don't miss

1163
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 1: exactly like they practically if you just leave these guys

1164
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: by themselves to shoot, they're just like, yeah, we'll make

1165
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,439
Speaker 1: eight out of ten every time.

1166
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 2: And you know what, thirty feet right mark? You know

1167
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 2: how that I know that's true because I play in

1168
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 2: I played against professionals a lot, and I play and

1169
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 2: play with professionals in like summer leagues and stuff like that,

1170
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 2: and even when the defense is in their face, I

1171
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: mean a little bit, they don't miss. So yes, that's true.

1172
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: That was quite a flex that you just.

1173
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I did, Yeah, I did a little bit.

1174
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I heard that. Yeah all bad. Yeah, I play with

1175
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: NBA players all the time. That's what I do. I did.

1176
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,439
Speaker 2: I did a little I did a little a little

1177
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 2: pump as well. You couldn't see it, but yeah.

Speaker 1: lots to say and we got nothing but time.

1187
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 7: Hey brother, Hello gentlemen, And going off what Kerry said

1188
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 7: about the MLB All Star Game. While a lot of

1189
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 7: people watch it still, even though TV ratings in general

1190
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 7: are way down across the board, is its actual baseball

1191
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 7: that happens? Hitters act pitchers have the ball in their

1192
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 7: hand and they actually try and strike out the hitters.

1193
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 7: You know if there's a deep fly ball the outfielder

1194
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 7: tries to rob the home run. I'm not seeing the

1195
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 7: actual sport to its fullest in some of the other leagues.

1196
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 2: I looked it up.

1197
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 7: MLB All Star Game on Fox last summer got seven

1198
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 7: million viewers. NBA All Star Game was under four point

1199
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 7: six million, which was way down for the previous year.

1200
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 7: A year ago, it was the record low for the

1201
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 7: NBA All Star Game. And there is one thing where

1202
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 7: you could say baseball has actually changed, and that was

1203
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 7: when they made their game more entertaining last year with

1204
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 7: the rules changes and the faster games. Because last season

1205
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 7: regular season in MLB, average time of a nine eight

1206
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 7: in game was just under two hours forty minutes. Previous

1207
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 7: year it was three oh four. So they kept the

1208
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 7: elements and took out the dead time and had the

1209
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 7: league's fastest time of game in nearly forty years. Total

1210
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 7: paid attendance was up ten percent seventy million at MLB

1211
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 7: last season. My favorite stat though, was on a list

1212
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 7: of games lasting three and a half hours plus. A

1213
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 7: couple years prior, there were a record number of them

1214
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 7: three hundred and ninety games three and a half hours

1215
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 7: plus Last year, there were nine games three and a

1216
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 7: half hours plus baseball.

1217
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 2: Wow, that's winning.

1218
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, So they needed to do something, absolutely and they

1219
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 7: did something. Finally, it's a halftime. Can I pass along

1220
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 7: the NBA All Star Game score? At halftime it's one

1221
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 7: oh four to eighty nine. The East is leading the

1222
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 7: West in Indianapolis. You mentioned earlier in the show, the

1223
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 7: Pacers own Tyrese Haliburt. In first four minutes from three

1224
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 7: point range, he was five of six, fifteen points. He's

1225
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 7: up to eighteen at the half. Teammate on the East

1226
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 7: Damian Lillard with twenty two points in the first half

1227
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 7: to lead all scores. I count exactly one foul on

1228
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 7: each side in the first half of this All Star I.

1229
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 2: Saw the album Steve, I was like, wow, they called

1230
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 2: a foul. It was against Jason Tatum.

1231
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 7: The Eastern Conference All Stars. And by the way, it

1232
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 7: is back to East versus West and traditional scoring in

1233
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 7: the game. We're not going to the elam ending or

1234
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 7: any of that later on, but the East from three

1235
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 7: point range just in the first half twenty two of

1236
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 7: forty eight from long distance. Again, the halftime lead is

1237
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 7: one oh four to eighty nine over the West.

1238
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 2: I was like that sounds like the Boston Celtics steep.

1239
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 2: Sorry a lot of threes, Okay, I.

1240
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 7: Thought you were talking about the total score. I know

1241
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 7: scoring up this year in the league, but I don't

1242
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 7: recall what four to eighty nine At the break Daytona

1243
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 7: five hundred was postponed to tomorrow four pm Eastern time

1244
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 7: on Fox TV. It rained all weekend there. Hideki Matsuyama

1245
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 7: shot a final round sixty two in LA and took

1246
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 7: the PGA event by three strokes. Will's Ala Taurus tied

1247
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 7: for second place. College hoops game on FS one has

1248
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 7: just ended with Utah beating UCLA seventy to sixty nine

1249
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 7: on a last second put back. Earlier wins on the

1250
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 7: road for Seaton Hall and Northwestern South Florida beat number

1251
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 7: twenty four Florida Atlantic Minnesota over Rutgers, and Ohio State

1252
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 7: up number upset number two per Due seventy three sixty nine.

1253
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 7: This is Ohio State that was four and ten in

1254
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 7: the Big Ten this year and had an interim coach

1255
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 7: making his debut today, Jake Diebler. Ohio State had loss

1256
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 7: nine of its last eleven games. Upset the boiler Makers

1257
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 7: today just three nhlues outdoors in New Jersey. The Rangers

1258
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 7: came back to win an overtime against the Islanders six five.

1259
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 7: LA won two to one at Pittsburgh, Colorado at home

1260
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 7: a four to three winner over Arizona, and to baseball.

1261
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 7: The San Francisco Giants officially signed DH Jorge Solaire three years,

1262
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 7: forty two million dollars. He led the Marlins with thirty

1263
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,439
Speaker 7: six homers last season with Atlanta, he had been World

1264
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 7: Series MVP. Interesting I read on MLB that the Giants

1265
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,919
Speaker 7: have not had a thirty home run hitter since Barry

1266
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 7: Bonds twenty years ago.

1267
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 2: That was shocking to me.

1268
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 7: Yep, what equally shocking this offseason? The Giants have committed

1269
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 7: over two hundred million dollars to free agent editions, which

1270
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 7: is number two in the majors, behind the Dodgers. Now,

1271
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 7: it's a light year behind the Dodgers, but still. I

1272
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 7: mentioned earlier that all the pitchers and catchers from all

1273
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 7: the teams have reported to spring training. Most of the

1274
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 7: full squad workouts start Monday or Tuesday.

1275
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: This week.

1276
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 7: Show Heyo Tani will not play in the Dodgers spring

1277
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 7: opener on Thursday against the Padres, coming off elbows. Dodgers

1278
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 7: and Padres pitchers and catchers started workouts early since their

1279
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 7: regular season starts with two games in South Korea against

1280
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 7: each other March twentieth and twenty First, back to you, all.

1281
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Right, So you're saying that they came to showhey and

1282
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: said do you want to play in this game? And

1283
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: he decided to defer? Is that what you're saying? That's

1284
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: my guess, got it? Got it? Yeah, he does love

1285
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: those deferrals, and so yeah, you're right, the Giants are

1286
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: number two, three billion dollars behind the Dodgers, quite second

1287
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: place in free agent spending something like that. That was

1288
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: quick math. I might be a little off, but that's

1289
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: what it feels like.

1290
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 7: So you're saying the Japanese players are more expensive than

1291
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 7: the South Korean players, Yes.

1292
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: Yes they are, Yes they are. Yeah, the Giants could

1293
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: sign the entire Boris four and still be like a

1294
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: billion dollars behind the Dodgers this offseason.

1295
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 2: Right man. I'm just surprised that nobody hit over thirty

1296
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 2: home runs. I mean, bust opposey no, no, no, no, Buster.

1297
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Was like not you know, like I mean, I don't

1298
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: even know if he ever hit twenty five in his career,

1299
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,640
Speaker 1: Like he was a great hitter, right, but not like

1300
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: a huge power guy. No, I know, this is one

1301
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: of those stats that like, if you're a member of

1302
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: the fan base, you're like, oh, yes, no, I know

1303
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 1: that stat. Nobody else knows that stat. I know about

1304
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: that stat. I know that stat.

1305
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 3: Every year.

1306
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, the that's what they've been doing, especially in

1307
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: the last five years. It's been it's been such a

1308
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and I don't mean Nickel Diamond in terms of I

1309
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: don't think they've quite spent enough, but they've not been

1310
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: bottom half of the league or anything, but it's been

1311
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: And you see this, it's not just the Giants. There's

1312
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 1: a lot of baseball teams. You don't have guys get

1313
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: enough at bats anymore to get thirty because there's so

1314
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 1: many platoons, there's so much in the way of analytics

1315
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 1: out there, and the Giants are a steroided version of

1316
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: that conversation for sure.

1317
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:01,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, you just don't even like, I mean, the

1318
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 3: only person ever threatened it.

1319
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 1: I think a couple of years ago when the Giants

1320
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 1: had that great year, Brandon Belt hit twenty nine and

1321
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: then he got hurt. Wow, And that was the end

1322
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 1: of that.

1323
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 2: Wow, that's one that I was out have guessed because

1324
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 2: I mean, especially with the success they did as well.

1325
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: So wow, right right right, So anyway, maybe so Layer

1326
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: will will be the answer there, or maybe he will

1327
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: get hurt for the thirteenth time in his career too.

1328
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: You just you never know. By the way Steve mentioning,

1329
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,799
Speaker 1: you guys had that little exchange about the personal fouls

1330
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: in this All Star game. Yeah, there are a total

1331
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: of two, and it appears that there might be a

1332
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: penalty for fouling as well. It appears that the guys

1333
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: who are playing the least amount of minutes are those

1334
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: who have also committed a foul.

1335
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 3: So it's like, if you commit a foul, you have

1336
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 3: to take a lap.

1337
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: Trey Young is somewhere out on the street outside the

1338
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: arena taking a lap. He committed a foul, and he

1339
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: has the lowest minutes in the entire game of any

1340
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: All Star. Wow.

1341
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah, so he's doing something. He's getting

1342
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 2: some stats somewhere. Then that's that's what you're talking about.

1343
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: You know how it is in pro sports. Sometimes they

1344
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: let him police themselves and the players are like, dude,

1345
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,560
Speaker 1: there's no fouls in this game. Don't don't foul me

1346
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: take a lap exactly six minutes for Trey Young in

1347
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: this game and and zero for two from three, so

1348
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: karma is getting him as as well. All Right, we're

1349
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: in the Ti rag dot com studios.

1350
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 9: Uh.

1351
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Let's get back to football because I've

1352
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: got another Super Bowl fallout related question for you, so

1353
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: we'll do that coming up next along with Kerry Rhodes

01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 2: I played safety. I'm trying to I'm trying to say

1358
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 2: it to the song though Mare's. I'm here jamming right now.

1359
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 2: My shoulders are bopping. Yeah, boy, I playing safety for

1360
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 2: quite a few years in the NFL, and it was

1361
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 2: an all pro you know. It's pretty pretty good at it.

1362
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: And then other flex they're coming, they're coming fast and

1363
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: furious right now, but at all of them.

1364
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 2: It's the song.

1365
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 1: The song.

1366
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 2: The song got me going.

1367
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: It's okay, hey man, it's just reality. Like you all

1368
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 1: pro safety in the NFL. Yeah, So when you're a safety,

1369
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 1: you're you're mainly mainly responsible for what counterpart on the

1370
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball.

1371
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:44,799
Speaker 2: What counterpart I mean the quarterback tight end in that regard,

1372
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 2: Somewhere in that regard is that where we're going.

1373
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Well, I actually wanted to talk about the people that

1374
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to let get over your head.

1375
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 3: Let's talk about wide receivers for a second.

1376
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, with both of these Super Bowl teams, what are

1377
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: you gonna do next year at that position? Start with

1378
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They won. When you win, there sort of

1379
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: the vibe of like, well, we don't need to change

1380
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 1: anything because that was good enough.

1381
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 3: And I'm like, ah, the offense for the Chiefs wasn't

1382
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 3: right this year.

1383
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: No, And it was by far and away, by any metric,

1384
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: it was the least productive that Patrick Mahomes was in

1385
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: his career by far. So Travis Kelsey gets a year older,

1386
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: go back through the Chiefs playoff run. They earned it.

1387
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: I take nothing away, but how many times were they

1388
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, a Buffalo missed field goal and a Za

1389
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: Flowers fumble at the one and we've already detailed like

1390
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,600
Speaker 1: that absolutely, And I you know, the word should in

1391
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: sports is kind of silly because quite frankly, You could

1392
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: easily sit down if you want to. It's kind of

1393
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: a fun exercise. You could sit down and look at

1394
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 1: all three of the Chiefs rings, or all four of

1395
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: their trips to the Super Bowl under Mahomes and go,

1396
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: They probably should have lost all four.

1397
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 4: Like that.

1398
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 1: That's not a crazy take down by ten to the

1399
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, down by multiple scores to the Philadelphia Eagles,

1400
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: and everybody knows about what everyone said about last week

1401
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 1: and the different ways that that could have gone and

1402
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: all of that, so it should doesn't matter in pro sports.

1403
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:34,560
Speaker 1: But when I look at the Chiefs this year, I

1404
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: see room for improvement. And that's one of the that's

1405
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 1: one of the positions I would I would start with,

1406
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 1: what would you do? There?

1407
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 2: Isn't that the crazy thing? We're having a discussion about

1408
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 2: a flall team that won the Super Bowl. That's how

1409
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 2: good he is? Yeah, that's how that's how good he is. Yes,

1410
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 2: they were, they were. This was the worst team they've had. Well,

1411
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say worst team. This is the worst

1412
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 2: offense they've had at any point under Patrick Mahomes and

1413
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:05,720
Speaker 2: Andy Reid's time there. I think nobody would argue with that.

1414
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 2: They can't. They can't stay status quo with that team.

1415
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 2: They were fortunate to win it this year and you

1416
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 2: can't take anything from them. They got it done. But

1417
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 2: that team, if they were to bring that team back

1418
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,839
Speaker 2: and say let's let's do it again with the same squad,

1419
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 2: there's no well, I would say there's no way they'd win, right,

1420
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 2: no way. But they found away right, So it's kind

1421
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 2: of hard to say it, but that would be the thing.

1422
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 2: I would say. They have to make moves.

1423
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: It is really wild. I mean, if you just take

1424
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: a moment and go, Okay, they made it through. And

1425
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: I know there's different reasons for each of these. You know,

1426
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow got hurt, but Lamar Jackson the MVP, and

1427
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the offense that the Dolphins are now

1428
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,640
Speaker 1: thrown at everybody, and what we expected Trevor Lawrence to

1429
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: be and a division that included again go back to

1430
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: how you felt about this at the beginning of the year,

1431
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: a division that included Justin Herbert and Russell Wilson, all

1432
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:08,879
Speaker 1: of these things that whole afc north quite frankly, everything

1433
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: everything that that conference throws at you and the Chiefs

1434
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 1: came out and by our eyes were like, well, they're

1435
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: not as good anymore. And they came out of it.

1436
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: And then as soon as they popped out of it,

1437
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 1: they faced the team that, by all odds was supposed

1438
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: to be the best team in the NFL. Beat them too,

1439
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: beat them too. And I was going to say with

1440
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: full health. They were of full health at the start

1441
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,680
Speaker 1: of the game, but obviously had some things go on

1442
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game. But the Chiefs had

1443
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 1: their injuries too, and so they deserve nothing, nothing but praise.

1444
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: But come on, you don't need to be a fantasy

1445
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: football player to know that it took. It took ten

1446
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: games before any Chiefs receiver was like viable, like even

1447
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 1: a viable player. And so now they've got one. They've

1448
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: got one, Rashi Rice. That's a player. Yeah, but what

1449
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: would you what would you do? Like, would you reprioritize

1450
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: that they're seven to zero in the playoffs since they

1451
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 1: traded Tyreek Hill but teams are prioritizing that position in

1452
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: a new way in twenty twenty four, Would you reprioritize

1453
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: it if you're the Chiefs?

1454
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you got to stay with the I think

1455
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 2: you have to stay with the current times when it

1456
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 2: comes to the NFL, right, the game continues to change

1457
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 2: to evolve, and yes, they're putting stock and having, you know,

1458
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 2: a number one guy at the receiver position. Riots could

1459
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 2: possibly be that person now, but you still need help.

1460
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 2: I mean they end up throwing a touchdown pass to

1461
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 2: somebody that was on the Jets earlier in the year.

1462
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,600
Speaker 2: I mean, Mikol Hartman so and we know how his

1463
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 2: season went this year. So I mean they're thin they

1464
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 2: need help there, and I'm sure they're going to prioritize that,

1465
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 2: and you have to. I mean, you got a school

1466
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 2: points to win. They were fortunate enough to win this year,

1467
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 2: but I mean the trend says you got to score

1468
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 2: to win.

1469
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: It's fascinating, man, you now have I'm looking at it

1470
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: right now. You have eleven players actually no, check that

1471
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: you have thirteen wide receivers in the NFL making twenty

1472
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: million or more per year. Wow. Really, wow, isn't that crazy?

1473
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 2: That's crazy?

1474
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: Thirteen wide receivers making twenty million or more with Tyreek

1475
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Hill being at the top of it making thirty million

1476
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 1: a year. Wow. And while his numbers will make you go, well,

1477
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: it's worth every penny. Yeah, I don't know, is it?

1478
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: They went to Kansas City, it was cold, and we

1479
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: knew they were eliminated before the plane even touchdown. And

1480
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are now the two most

1481
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: recent dynasties in the NFL. And you can define at

1482
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: least Patrick's recent play and all of Tom's play by Yeah,

1483
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,799
Speaker 1: we just have guys at wide receiver and our quarterback

1484
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: makes them great.

1485
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,759
Speaker 2: And you know what's crazy, You're right. And I literally

1486
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 2: said this throughout the year when the Chiefs looked like

1487
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 2: they were gonna flame out and not be you know,

1488
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 2: win win the championship. I was literally in one of

1489
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 2: my takes on the on the on the previous show,

1490
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 2: I was like, if Patrick, if Patrick Mahomes is that

1491
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 2: guy in the Tom Brady years, in those early years

1492
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 2: in New England, he was winning with guys that weren't

1493
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 2: number one guys, And I said, he was gonna have

1494
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 2: to do that to be for me to give him

1495
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,560
Speaker 2: that same type of respect that Brady had, And he

1496
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 2: shut me up and did it this year.

1497
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 1: So there you go. Look, there you have it. There

1498
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: you have it. He went and did it.

1499
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 3: So I don't know, I don't know.

1500
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:52,519
Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs s end up in a good

1501
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: spot now where they have someone who might be able

1502
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 1: to perform as a number one receiver who's going to

1503
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: be on a rookie deal, and and so maybe they

1504
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: just sort of do a mini prioritization of that position.

1505
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: Now they're Super Bowl counterparts, they are in a very

1506
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: different pickle when it comes to the wide receiver position,

1507
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: and we'll get into that coming up next with Kerry Rhodes,

1508
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: Mark Willard more ahead on Fox Sports Radio. See now

1509
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,559
Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about in the NBA All Star Game.

1510
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's watching this, Carrie, I don't

1511
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 1: know if you're watching this, But a moment ago, Luka

1512
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: Doncic all by himself and heading up to the rims.

1513
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 1: So he tosses it up off the backboard to himself,

1514
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: grabs it with one hand, and totally hangs himself on

1515
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 1: the bottom of the rim. Yeah yeah, Luca, Look, far

1516
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 1: be it from me to look at anybody's body.

1517
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't care what that guy's getting. Real big, he

1518
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 3: is a large man.

1519
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 2: In all the spots, is like anyway, you know, that's

1520
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 2: my man.

1521
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,520
Speaker 1: Dame Lillard grabbed the rebound and and I'm not exaggerating,

1522
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: pulled up from the half court stripe all that I saw?

1523
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 2: No, No, Luke, you know I'm a Dallas Maverick fan,

1524
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 2: So what.

1525
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: What's going on there?

1526
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:18,679
Speaker 3: My man can't dunk none.

1527
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: He just dunked on the previous possession and he like

1528
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: barely made it.

1529
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 3: He barely rolled it over the rim.

1530
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 2: That's what makes you mad when you play Dallas, because

1531
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 2: you look at him, You're like, that guy cannot be

1532
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,600
Speaker 2: the guy that's about to give me forty and he

1533
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 2: gives you forty, and so yeah, forty.

1534
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 1: But tonight he's given you four. He's zero for four

1535
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 1: from three and he's hit the bottom of the rim

1536
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: with a dunk.

1537
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 2: That's embarrassing.

1538
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: Luca. Luca is twenty four years old and he's already

1539
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: got the old man game down out there.

1540
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 2: Yes, he'll be all for a while.

1541
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 1: Man, Man, I think I lied. Maybe he's only got

1542
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: two points? Does he have four? No? Yeah, he does.

1543
01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: Updating it, he got four and the West is down

1544
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: by almost thirty. But hey, Larry Bird thinks they're playing hard.

1545
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:12,519

Speaker 1: Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.

1550
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: So remember I said to you less than ten minutes ago,

1551
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: I got the highest paid receivers in the game on

1552
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,879
Speaker 1: a list right in front of me right now. Thirteen

1553
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: of them make twenty million or more. Number seven on

1554
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: the list at twenty three point eight five million per

1555
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: year is Deebo Samuel and his counterpart on the other side,

1556
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, is eligible for a contract extension, and after

1557
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: putting thirteen hundred plus yards on the board this year,

1558
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: I would already you it would seem unlikely that he's

1559
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 1: not going to end up in this list of the

1560
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: top thirteen. He's going to end up on that list,

1561
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: he's going to be north of it's going to be

1562
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 1: north of twenty million to keep Brandon Ayuk. Now, he's

1563
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: under contract for one more year, but there's no doubt

1564
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: that without an extension he would hold out. Yep. I've

1565
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: followed the forty nine ers for years and I know

1566
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: that this regime when they are definitely going to sign

1567
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: an extension. They tell you, they tell you, they told

1568
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: you when Deebo Samuel had scrubbed his Instagram, we're keeping debo.

1569
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: When Nick Bosa held out for all of camp this year,

1570
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 1: they had said for months, we've budgeted for Nick Bosa.

1571
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: The answers about Brandon Ayuk over the last week or

1572
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: so would suggest that they are not feeling too sure.

1573
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: Combine that with the fact that fourteen seconds after the

1574
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 1: game ended, his brother was already on Instagram.

1575
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 2: Going out, yep, we out of here.

1576
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: Brandon's crying. His girl is on TikTok saying this is

1577
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 1: the last time we'll be at Levi's stadium. We think

1578
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: for exit interviews. The whole thing is kind of catching

1579
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: the fan base by surprise because the Niners have been

1580
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: very very good at like if they draft you and

1581
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 1: you're amazing and you deserve an extension after four years,

1582
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: they keep their own only once when they traded to

1583
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 1: Forest Buckner.

1584
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 3: Have they gone the other way? But just think about

1585
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 3: it now, are.

1586
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: You going to wrap forty five million per year up

1587
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: into two receivers knowing that you've only got You've got

1588
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: one more year of cheap brock perty before you need

1589
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: to address that two more years on his contract, but

1590
01:24:56,360 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 1: one more year until he will be extension eligible, Right, Carrie,

1591
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 1: what would you do?

1592
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 2: That's a that's a tough one.

1593
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 9: Uh.

1594
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 2: Brendon Ayuk is their best receiver, and I say that

1595
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 2: that's that's just that's facts. Deebo's uh debos and multi

1596
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 2: multi multi player type of deal, hyphen hyphenated type of

1597
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 2: guy obviously can catch the ball, but you know, he's

1598
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 2: he's more of a slash guy. And so I think

1599
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 2: losing Ayuk would be a would be a big deal

1600
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 2: to the San Francisco forty nine ers, even more than

1601
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 2: Debo at this point, just because of you know, you

1602
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 2: talk about pure receiver, pure number one guy, a guy

1603
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 2: that's can run all the routes, can get separation, can

1604
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,640
Speaker 2: demand double teams and more attention. He's that guy. And

1605
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 2: you know it's gonna be hard to pay both of

1606
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 2: those guys. Now, I think you know, obviously, I you

1607
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,600
Speaker 2: can know, and their team has made made a you know,

1608
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 2: and emphasis on you know, them wanting to be paid

1609
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 2: and getting what they deserve. But that's when it comes

1610
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 2: to the point of a lot of these times, man,

1611
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 2: when you have these windows to win and you don't

1612
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 2: get it done, there's a price to pay, not even

1613
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 2: and I say that you know in quotation marks price

1614
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 2: to pay. There's a price to pay. Players are going

1615
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,680
Speaker 2: to deserve that they feel I mean deserve more and

1616
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 2: feel like they deserve more and want more, and you know,

1617
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 2: especially when they're integral parts. So that's success and so

1618
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 2: that's a part of it. But when you miss that

1619
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 2: window of not winning it as a player, there's also

1620
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 2: a line where sometimes you could take a little less

1621
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 2: to be on the team that you can win on

1622
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 2: and know that you can have that success on. So

1623
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 2: I kind of want to know more about Brandon. I

1624
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,879
Speaker 2: don't know him as a as a person, but obviously

1625
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,720
Speaker 2: people around him talking possibly for him, but I don't

1626
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 2: know who he is as a player. Because obviously that

1627
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 2: first contract, that big one, you want to get it,

1628
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:00,720
Speaker 2: and you should get it. But if you have a

1629
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 2: window to win, that's where it gets hard for me

1630
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 2: as a player. I know franchise is going to be

1631
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 2: hard for them to pay both though.

1632
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 1: There's no two ways about it that this one has

1633
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: been as easy as a bag of rocks to swallow

1634
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: for the entire organization because of things like this, I

1635
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: mean all I can share with you because you know

1636
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: what's going on inside any player's mind in these situations.

1637
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, we know some of the basics. They

1638
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: want every dollar they can get, because that's being a

1639
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:35,719
Speaker 1: human beings that you want what you're worth on the market,

1640
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 1: and especially in the NFL, you don't waste one second

1641
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: of time, you don't take one chance before signing that contract,

1642
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Tyreek Hill left Patrick Mahomes

1643
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: why because he wanted top dollar and that's that's where

1644
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: he could get it.

1645
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 3: So, you know, I get the situation he's in.

1646
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:01,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you he has been more emotional than

1647
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 1: any other forty nine er in the wake of the loss.

1648
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: He's been crying at his locker, at exit interviews. He's

1649
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 1: been very noncommittal with regard to, you know, being with

1650
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. It was like, do you want

1651
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: to be here? And he was like, I want to

1652
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: be here if it's the right thing.

1653
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah.

1654
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 1: And someone was like, so, what's the right thing? And

1655
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: he goes being a champion, see right right, like so

1656
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: and and and then he said very little else because

1657
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,600
Speaker 1: he was like overcome with emotion and where does that

1658
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 1: emotion come from. Is it is it because you lost

1659
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Or is it because you know that

1660
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,640
Speaker 1: that was it? And and like you're going to be

1661
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: a Panther next year or something. Do you know what

1662
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, I don't know. That's the thing. And

1663
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 1: here's so you this is my question for you, because

1664
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,760
Speaker 1: you just said something interesting with the idea of like, oh,

1665
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: do you take a little less all right system QB

1666
01:28:55,320 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 1: whatever system, coach whatever, whatever. Yeah. Yeah, if you're a

1667
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver and you say I want out, I grant

1668
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: you no team's going to acquire you unless you're willing

1669
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 1: to sign the extension. So you do have a little

1670
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:18,679
Speaker 1: bit of a say, but be careful, right, be careful

1671
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: because that thirteen hundred yard receiver can turn into a

1672
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty yard receiver real fast, easy, Yes,

1673
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 1: depending on where you end out right.

1674
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 2: And that's and that's why. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. So,

1675
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 2: like what is he put an emphasis on? Obviously you

1676
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 2: want to get the bag. That's what we all want

1677
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 2: to do. We do want that. It's sure, it's not

1678
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 2: about being you know, greedy, it's not about you know,

1679
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 2: any of that stuff, Like you want to get paid

1680
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:47,640
Speaker 2: what you're worth. And I think that's even outside of

1681
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 2: the NFL, right, if you're in the corporate world, you

1682
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 2: want to get paid what you're worth. So that's that's that.

1683
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair assessment. I think that's fair

1684
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 2: to say for any anyone. But again, there is a

1685
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 2: you know, he's in that spot where he's about to

1686
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:05,720
Speaker 2: get the first one, so he's probably gonna get every

1687
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 2: dollar that he can. But you look as you get older,

1688
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:12,640
Speaker 2: and you know the time is starting to dwindle in

1689
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 2: that candle, and that that that wick is starting to

1690
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 2: lose fire, and you wish that you got a chance

1691
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 2: to win a super Bowl. Those things for me on

1692
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 2: the outside looking looking now as it's just a spectator,

1693
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 2: you know, you you don't value those things as much

1694
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:29,679
Speaker 2: when you're young and you're trying to get that money.

1695
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 2: But that stuff matters, man, and so I want that's

1696
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:33,599
Speaker 2: why I ask about him.

1697
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is it. It is a very difficult situation

1698
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 1: because that that roster. Also, you know you're you're looking

1699
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 1: at uh again, Yeah, you're looking at party in a

1700
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 1: year yeap, and and then what what else is happening

1701
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 1: around you? What else do you need to do. Is

1702
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 1: Trent Williams going to retire at some point, Christian McCaffrey's

1703
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: going to turn thirty. Is George Kittle gonna get old? Yeah,

1704
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 1: Drake Greenlaw needs an extension, except for now he's got

1705
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: a torn I would argue that this offseason coming up

1706
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers, and maybe one of the

1707
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 1: reasons it's so painful. This is the most complicated off

1708
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 1: season moment that they've had since arriving.

1709
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 3: This regime. This will be the biggest dance.

1710
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 1: That they have to pull off to try to figure

1711
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 1: this out, keep everybody happy, and keep the roster where

1712
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 1: it is because they know better than anybody. Look twice,

1713
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 1: I would say, at the high profile level, this regime

1714
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:42,120
Speaker 1: has gone, Yeah, we got this high priced player.

1715
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna get rid of him.

1716
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll trade into the first round of the

1717
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 1: draft and replace him there. Once they turned DeForest Buckner

1718
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:59,520
Speaker 1: into Javon Kinlaw No, and then they turned Jimmy Garoppolo

1719
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:05,799
Speaker 1: into Trey Lance No, and and and they got bailed

1720
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 1: out because because Kyle Shanahan stood on a table and

1721
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 1: screamed about brock Purty with the last pick in the draft.

1722
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 1: But outside of that, like this idea trade AUK will

1723
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:20,960
Speaker 1: just go get another receiver, right right. That's terrifying, I know.

1724
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:22,439
Speaker 2: And I was going to just bring that up for

1725
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:27,560
Speaker 2: you to actually ask you about that, well, like, is

1726
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 2: there a trade partner out there where a specific team

1727
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 2: that they can get a veteran receiver or somebody that

1728
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 2: can you know, you know, get in there and do

1729
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:38,400
Speaker 2: something I don't because I don't. I don't know the

1730
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't.

1731
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 3: Then you're then you're just paying Then you're paying that guy.

1732
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 2: Sure, but you're not gonna be paying them twenty million

1733
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:47,559
Speaker 2: a year. I have another guy like that though.

1734
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:51,200
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, what if I what if I went

1735
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:54,479
Speaker 1: down these names real quick? You tell me for their

1736
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 1: current team? Yep? Are they worth it?

1737
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:57,320

01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, So.

1757
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:26,320
Speaker 1: Mixed bag. It is mixed bag. Out of that top thirteen,

1758
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:28,760
Speaker 1: it felt like maybe about five or six times you

1759
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 1: said the word yet and if and if the Niners

1760
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 1: do this with with Ayuk, they've got two, they would

1761
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: have two of those top you know, fourteen, if you

1762
01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:39,560
Speaker 1: want to call it.

1763
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

1764
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:43,240
Speaker 2: That doesn't look good, does it.

1765
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of teams ended up deep

1766
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:48,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs with two twenty plus million dollar receivers,

1767
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 1: mainly because only one team is in there twice and

1768
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:59,360
Speaker 1: they just fired their coach. So yeah, it's crazy, man,

1769
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 1: It's crazy, all right. Shortly after the show, the podcast

1778
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 1: funniest audio I have heard all week long, and it

1779
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:32,200
Speaker 1: also begs an immediate and very big question for one

1780
01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: of the big leagues. We'll do that in a moment

1781
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 1: with Kerry Rhoads, Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio, tyrack dot

1782
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 1: Com Studios. I got a question for you, Carrie. Should

1783
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: All Star Game MVP just just go basically to whoever

1784
01:35:56,320 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 1: puts up the most shots? Do they?

1785
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 2: I don't think they got to win?

1786
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 4: Do you?

1787
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 2: I don't think you have?

1788
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes.

1789
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 1: Like I don't mean like. I don't mean uh that

1790
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:13,680
Speaker 1: we should look to the losing team. I just mean

1791
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:18,320
Speaker 1: the leading scorer for both teams is the guy who

1792
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 1: just is like, got the gall to be out there

1793
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: on the court with the best in the world and

1794
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:26,880
Speaker 1: be like, no, I'm I'm the one shooting right right.

1795
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 2: You know what, Like, yeah, Mark, you know what's funny

1796
01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 2: about that is you with all these great players, right,

1797
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 2: they're still a pecan order, right, and you know, like

1798
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 2: there's a level of respect. If Lebron's out there and

1799
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 2: you wanted to play, he could take over this game, right,

1800
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:44,479
Speaker 2: And you can see it back and you can see

1801
01:36:44,520 --> 01:36:46,680
Speaker 2: it back in the old days, right when MJ was

1802
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 2: out there, everybody deferred to MJ. And I that's you

1803
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:57,839
Speaker 2: pose a great question. It's like who, like who created

1804
01:36:57,880 --> 01:36:58,559
Speaker 2: the pecan order?

1805
01:36:58,640 --> 01:36:58,760
Speaker 1: Right?

1806
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:01,480
Speaker 2: All those got too also.

1807
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:04,880
Speaker 1: Especially on the eastern side. Right now, Dame Lillard is

1808
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,639
Speaker 1: the new guy in town. He's been in the West

1809
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 1: his whole career, and he's got like twice as many

1810
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 1: shots as everybody else. Well, of course he's scored the most.

1811
01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:17,840
Speaker 2: Well, he's happy to be out the West where he

1812
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 2: was struggling. Steph Curry right, exactly right.

1813
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:26,000
Speaker 1: But I'm like, you know who cares at the end

1814
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 1: of all of it. But Tyrese Haliburton is in his

1815
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 1: home arena. Yeah, he's eight of ten from three point range.

1816
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 1: I sort of feel like it's incumbent on the guys

1817
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:43,799
Speaker 1: to be like, here, you you have the ball, keep shooting.

1818
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 1: Can you go sixteen of twenty? Can you do it again?

1819
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 2: Exactly?

1820
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 1: And Dame is like, nah, got it. Dame's had twice

1821
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:54,760
Speaker 1: as many shot attempts as Haliburton.

1822
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dame, Dames like, I'm leaving here with something. It's

1823
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 2: not shy, He's not shy. No.

1824
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 1: And then Karl Anthony Towns has twenty one shots to

1825
01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:14,679
Speaker 1: lead all players, and lo and behold there goes another one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1826
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how the how the

1827
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 1: pecking order works. But Dame Lillard walked into the Bucks

1828
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:24,280
Speaker 1: and basically told Giannis, I'll take it from here.

1829
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 2: Ooh ooh, I love that that that team's in trouble. Yeah,

1830
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,840
Speaker 2: they are, they are. They need some I don't know.

1831
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 2: I think they need like some like some athletic three

1832
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,680
Speaker 2: three D guys around those guys. But something something's not

1833
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 2: something's not right.

1834
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they still have the third best record in

1835
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:44,040
Speaker 1: the East, right, you know what I mean? But yes,

1836
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:46,160
Speaker 1: they're three and seven in their last ten. The Doc

1837
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 1: Rivers thing, it's another example. And I feel like there's

1838
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 1: always one or two of these a year, and that

1839
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 1: is that you. NBA teams are.

1840
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:02,599
Speaker 3: Not built the same way fantasy basketball teams are built.

1841
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: They're just not. You have to have continuity, you have

1842
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:09,639
Speaker 1: to have pieces that fit, You have to have pieces

1843
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 1: that are willing to work together. I know this was

1844
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 1: in the off season, but it's one of those things

1845
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:17,600
Speaker 1: that I always say. When the trade deadline comes and

1846
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 1: everybody like, oh, what are they gonna do? What are

1847
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:23,320
Speaker 1: they gonna do, I'm like, don't go crazy over what

1848
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 1: your team is going to do, because the championship is

1849
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:29,840
Speaker 1: not won at the trade deadline. Like, yes, you could

1850
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: tweak a team that's already in great shade and get

1851
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: something that helps. But the best example is I know

1852
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:38,040
Speaker 1: people will go, well, look at what the Lakers did

1853
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 1: last year, right, and you finished fourth, so that yes,

1854
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,439
Speaker 1: you got some things going, you made some very good moves,

1855
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:51,559
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna win the championship with the trade

1856
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:56,679
Speaker 1: deadline and bringing in Dame Lillard and putting them with Giannis.

1857
01:39:57,080 --> 01:40:01,599
Speaker 1: I don't know why you wouldn't. But by the same time, yeah,

1858
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 1: it's it's more complicated than that. Mark.

1859
01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 2: I'll give you two scenarios where one worked and the

1860
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 2: other didn't. At the trade deadline, and so you talk

1861
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:16,839
Speaker 2: about bringing in, you know, bringing in somebody to elevate

1862
01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 2: you on the superstar level. That doesn't work. It takes time.

1863
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 2: It takes time for that player to get aggreciated into

1864
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 2: that offense to you're in a new environment, new city,

1865
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 2: new support staff. I mean, people don't get that all

1866
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:35,720
Speaker 2: those parts are are important, but you and both of

1867
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 2: these situations happened in Dallas two thousand and eleven. When

1868
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:42,760
Speaker 2: Dallas won a championship. They had a team of all

1869
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 2: guys that were around the main guy, Dirk, who just

1870
01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 2: fit that team like a glove. But they made one

1871
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:51,760
Speaker 2: pick up on the trade deadline that gave them an

1872
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:55,639
Speaker 2: extra shooter that that shooter helped them in the NBA

1873
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 2: Finals game to actually win the finals. And I don't

1874
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 2: know if you even remember it, but they bought in

1875
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:02,560
Speaker 2: a guy that used to be an All Star but

1876
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:05,840
Speaker 2: was later in his career at that point, and his

1877
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 2: name was Paigestoyakovich. Uh huh, very subtle. Under the radar.

1878
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 2: He just be like why did they get him? Or

1879
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 2: you know, like you know, from the outside looking at

1880
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 2: you're like, that's not gonna move the needle, right, It

1881
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 2: moved the needle just enough to get them that edge

1882
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 2: and they want it. And then you you fast forward

1883
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 2: a few years and they bring in you know, they're like,

1884
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 2: we're one player away, we got we need a point guard.

1885
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:32,840
Speaker 2: We can bring in a guy that has champions championship DNA.

1886
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 2: He's wanted a guy that can really get us over

1887
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:37,120
Speaker 2: the hump and get us to that next level. And

1888
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:39,720
Speaker 2: it was a disaster and that was great. No, No,

1889
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:40,680
Speaker 2: not even that one.

1890
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 3: N Rondo Rondo, Gosh, you got me.

1891
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm he's talking about last year. They missed the playoffs entirely.

1892
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean people, yeah, that's true. That's true

1893
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,240
Speaker 2: as well that I guess you could have went that

1894
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 2: one too. But the Rondo one was left a sour

1895
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 2: taste in everybody's mouse because it didn't work out at all.

1896
01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 1: No, and I mean there's exact samples. I you know,

1897
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 1: I was, I was down there covering the Lakers when

1898
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:06,720
Speaker 1: uh when when they put the starting five on the

1899
01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 1: on the cover of Sports Illustrated r I P. But

1900
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:13,960
Speaker 1: but they put they put the starting five and and

1901
01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:15,639
Speaker 1: you know they they kind of called it the four

1902
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: on the floor when they had Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant,

1903
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:24,640
Speaker 1: Pau Gasol, Dwout, Dwight Howard, and they made those acquisitions

1904
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh my god, it's going to

1905
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:29,720
Speaker 1: be like the Olympic team out here. And uh they

1906
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: got the eight seed Kerrie and and they did not

1907
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:37,679
Speaker 1: win a playoff game. They swept by the San Antonio Spurs.

1908
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: Spurs are the best example of what we're talking about, man, Like,

1909
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,040
Speaker 1: that's a that's a team that has had continuity for

1910
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 1: so many years with their stars and uh, and they

1911
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:51,759
Speaker 1: were always so so effective. Obviously not anymore. But anyway,

1912
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:56,320
Speaker 1: all of that is uh is is really interesting and

1913
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee situation is playing out right now before our

1914
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 1: eyes with regard to that. All right, we mentioned some

1915
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 1: of the most interesting audio we've heard all week. We'll

1916
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 1: have it for you in three minutes. But right now,

1917
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:09,519
Speaker 1: Steve Desager's turn to get in here and get us

1918
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:11,840
Speaker 1: all the latest. Hello, Steve, what's going on?

1919
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 7: There might be thirty points scored in the next three minutes.

1920
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:17,240
Speaker 7: So let me tell you just at the moment NBA

1921
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 7: All Star Game was still almost seven minutes left in it.

1922
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 7: Tonight has the East leading one seventy nine to one

1923
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:27,320
Speaker 7: fifty three over the West, and apparently most points by

1924
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 7: one side in an NBA All Star game is one

1925
01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 7: ninety six, so keeping that in mind, there have been

1926
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:38,880
Speaker 7: some exchanges online. One NBA writer retweeted somebody's semi serious

1927
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,880
Speaker 7: idea that maybe the NFL should have the Pro Bowl

1928
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 7: players play a basketball game and the NBA should have

1929
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:46,080
Speaker 7: its All stars play flag football.

1930
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:49,519
Speaker 2: Oh that's pretty fun, that be ferfect.

1931
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1932
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 7: Another reporter said it's funny we spent so much time

1933
01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:54,640
Speaker 7: on the All Star starters and who made it as

1934
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:56,960
Speaker 7: a sub and who got snubbed, and then the game

1935
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,400
Speaker 7: always stinks, to which another writer said, it turns out

1936
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 7: the players committed the biggest snub of all. They snubbed

1937
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 7: the basketball fans who actually want a reasonable facsimile of

1938
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 7: a basketball game. Tonight, we can update that it's now

1939
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 7: one eighty three one p fifty eight East with six

1940
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:16,960
Speaker 7: minutes to go. One foul has been called on the

1941
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:20,240
Speaker 7: Eastern Conference tonight. They've attempted all of four free throws,

1942
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 7: but from three point range they are thirty seven of

1943
01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:29,000
Speaker 7: eighty eighty three point attempts by one side and still

1944
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:34,400
Speaker 7: six minutes left in the exhibition. The NBA season resumes

1945
01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 7: on Thursday night with twelve games, Let's move on the

1946
01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:40,160
Speaker 7: Daytona five hundred was postponed to tomorrow at four pm

1947
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:42,760
Speaker 7: Eastern time on Fox TV. It rained all weekend there.

1948
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:46,479
Speaker 7: The Xfinity Series opener will be held Monday morning, eleven

1949
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 7: am Eastern time on FS one. Upsetting college hoops at

1950
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 7: Ohio State, the Buckeyes, with an interim coach making his debut,

1951
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 7: Jake Diebler, beat number two rank produced seventy three sixty

1952
01:44:57,680 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 7: nine South Florida over twenty fourth ran Florida Atlantic ninety

1953
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:04,680
Speaker 7: to eighty six South Florida twelve and one. In the

1954
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 7: American Conference, Minnesota beat Rutgers, Northwestern won a close one

1955
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 7: at Indiana, Seaton Hall came back to win at Saint John's,

1956
01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 7: and Utah won at UCLA seventy to sixty nine on

1957
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:18,759
Speaker 7: a last second putback. In the NHL just three games,

1958
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,960
Speaker 7: including the outdoor game today at New Jersey, the Rangers

1959
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,400
Speaker 7: came back to win in overtime against the Islanders six

1960
01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:27,680
Speaker 7: to five. LA won two to one at Pittsburgh, Colorado

1961
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:31,679
Speaker 7: at home, a four to three winner against Arizona, finally

1962
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 7: to golf Hideki Matsuyama won the PGA event in La

1963
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:38,600
Speaker 7: by three strokes after a final round sixty two. Matsuyama

1964
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:42,479
Speaker 7: earned four million dollars. The two runners up each got

1965
01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:46,840
Speaker 7: one point eight mil Xanderschoffley missed a late six foot

1966
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 7: putt and fell to fourth place. So that's a mere

1967
01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 7: eight hundred and sixty thousand or so, a very expensive miss.

1968
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:57,719
Speaker 7: Patrick Cantley, speaking of expensive, led by five strokes after Friday,

1969
01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:01,360
Speaker 7: led by two after Saturday, he fell to a tie

1970
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 7: for force. So Matsuyama comes from six strokes down today

1971
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,679
Speaker 7: to win. It is his ninth win on the PGA

1972
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:09,720
Speaker 7: Tour career, a record for an Asian born player, his

1973
01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 7: first victory in two years. For those who are unaware,

1974
01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:15,800
Speaker 7: Tiger Woods with drew Friday due to illness. He was

1975
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,599
Speaker 7: host of this tournament. He shot a one over seventy

1976
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:21,000
Speaker 7: two in the first round, tying for forty ninth place.

1977
01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:23,680
Speaker 7: He'd had back problems this week again. Also, Woods was

1978
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:26,559
Speaker 7: making his first start in an official PGA Tour event

1979
01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:29,200
Speaker 7: since he withdrew from the Masters ten months ago and

1980
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:30,200
Speaker 7: had ankle surgery.

1981
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 1: Back to you, Steve Luca just banked in a three

1982
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 1: and your flag football idea kind of stuck with I'd

1983
01:46:39,479 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 1: like to see him play anything after this performance tonight.

1984
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:46,680
Speaker 1: I could watch this guy do just about anything. It's

1985
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: hysterical goodness. Luca's got a in a one eighty eight

1986
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 1: to one sixty six game, Luca has put up seven and.

1987
01:46:58,479 --> 01:46:59,920
Speaker 7: He's a minus thirteen on the court.

1988
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:03,720
Speaker 2: He's really hurting his plus minus right now.

1989
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 7: I mean, my god, Yeah, I had their value for

1990
01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 7: the team. Steph Curry's a minus twenty three. Oh in court,

1991
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:13,640
Speaker 7: let's not.

1992
01:47:13,760 --> 01:47:17,519
Speaker 1: Be good dragging them down. Yeah, yeah, crazy? All right,

1993
01:47:17,600 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 1: thanks Steve, appreciate that. All right, let's uh, we've been

1994
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:22,640
Speaker 1: we've been bouncing around with this, so let's get to this.

1995
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 1: Check this out. This is interesting. And you know, I

1996
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:30,639
Speaker 1: hate relocation in sports. I think it's just an odd deal.

1997
01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 1: I really do. I don't think sports teams should or

1998
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 1: can be treated like other businesses. So it's not just

1999
01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 1: a matter of well, like, hey, this is a real

2000
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 1: estate deal, and my uh, you know, my my team

2001
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:45,840
Speaker 1: needs land and and and they're leveraged and all of that.

2002
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:48,679
Speaker 1: And I think it's just terrible because it's a different

2003
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 1: kind of business than if you're running a home depot

2004
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 1: or something like that. Like nobody's outside home depot like

2005
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,759
Speaker 1: go depot, go like nobody.

2006
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 3: We're just I need a screwdriver.

2007
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 1: That's it. I'm leaving. We're not emotionally invested, so totally different.

2008
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:12,479
Speaker 1: And that leads me to the Oakland A's. Now, will

2009
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:15,160
Speaker 1: they end up in Vegas? Will they come back? Will

2010
01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:17,559
Speaker 1: they end up being a minor league team in Canada?

2011
01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:21,639
Speaker 1: I have no idea, and most of us have reached

2012
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:24,879
Speaker 1: a point of indifference because their ownership is so absurd

2013
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:29,400
Speaker 1: and so ridiculous that no one even knows what to

2014
01:48:29,479 --> 01:48:35,800
Speaker 1: do with it anymore. Apparently Carrie, including baseball's top reporters

2015
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 1: Jeff Passing, goes on PTI on ESPN and Tony Corneiser

2016
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 1: asks him about the A's. Just listen to this response.

2017
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 5: There are doubts everywhere about the A's because here's the

2018
01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:54,400
Speaker 5: one thing that they have proven themselves adept at being

2019
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:56,000
Speaker 5: completely incompetent.

2020
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, I was talking with somebody yesterday.

2021
01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:02,439
Speaker 5: I'm doing a story expansion, and you know, the A's

2022
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,360
Speaker 5: came up because the A's need to be in place

2023
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 5: in Las Vegas in order for MLB to expand two

2024
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:11,200
Speaker 5: more teams, which is looking like it's going to be

2025
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:12,519
Speaker 5: twenty thirty or so.

2026
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:14,720
Speaker 3: But you know, this person who's.

2027
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:18,320
Speaker 1: Been dealing with the a's is like the do they

2028
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 1: know what they're doing? Like is this a joke?

2029
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:25,439
Speaker 5: The whole process has been messed up from the start,

2030
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 5: you know, dating back twenty years to them trying to

2031
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:30,479
Speaker 5: get a stadium in Oakland failing to do so, and

2032
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 5: now they're going to go to Vaas and all of

2033
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 5: a sudden it's going to be smooth sailing in a

2034
01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 5: city that really hasn't shown a lot of desire to

2035
01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:40,360
Speaker 5: have you. The entire thing from the beginning, Tony has

2036
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 5: been a disaster, and if this thing fell apart, it

2037
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 5: would surprise absolutely nobody.

2038
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 1: Why on Earth our sports leagues run the way they are,

2039
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 1: to the point where when someone owns a team, oversight

2040
01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:00,160
Speaker 1: just gets thrown out the window. These are all all

2041
01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:05,120
Speaker 1: called franchises. If I bought a Subway sandwich shop here

2042
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:08,439
Speaker 1: in my town and I decided I'm gonna put all

2043
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:10,960
Speaker 1: the letters out in front of the store shop upside

2044
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 1: down so that you can't read it, I'm gonna put

2045
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:14,560
Speaker 1: the y.

2046
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:18,840
Speaker 3: First Subway would come in and shut me down.

2047
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:25,680
Speaker 1: I like, if you're a racist idiot, Adam Silver will

2048
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:28,680
Speaker 1: come take your team, and you don't. You don't get

2049
01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 1: to keep it anymore. I don't understand why this bleep

2050
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:40,200
Speaker 1: show of an organization continues to be allowed to run

2051
01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:44,560
Speaker 1: itself the way it does, Carrie, Nobody knows what the

2052
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 1: hell's going on, starting with them.

2053
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 5: I know.

2054
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:53,160
Speaker 2: No, it's funny. I actually made a joke about them.

2055
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:57,479
Speaker 2: I said that I had a park in Studio City

2056
01:50:57,520 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 2: that I could play home games at with the cheerleaders

2057
01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:02,759
Speaker 2: there as well. Uh it's it's it's.

2058
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:05,800
Speaker 3: You have the same attendance that they had last year,

2059
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 3: and we.

2060
01:51:07,080 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 2: Might have more, we might have more mark it's it's

2061
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 2: it's a nice location. No, but uh, I don't know,

2062
01:51:14,320 --> 01:51:16,880
Speaker 2: to be honest, though, Yeah, it's it's really bad. And

2063
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 2: you know, you think about the Oakland A's and you

2064
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:23,959
Speaker 2: you know the history that they have at the organization

2065
01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 2: before the current ownership. It's it just it it sucks,

2066
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 2: and it's it's hurting. It's it's obviously hurting the game,

2067
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:36,679
Speaker 2: and it's hurting the MLB as well, because it's leaving

2068
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 2: us our stain just just for the organization, and I

2069
01:51:41,479 --> 01:51:45,599
Speaker 2: mean period, right, So that part is like how can

2070
01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 2: you allow it? The question I mean the comment you

2071
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:51,040
Speaker 2: made about how can you allow it? Yeah, I think

2072
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:54,000
Speaker 2: somebody literally has to step in and, you know, have

2073
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:56,240
Speaker 2: a sit down with them and see what what the

2074
01:51:56,320 --> 01:51:59,760
Speaker 2: heck is going on and give some context of why

2075
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:03,560
Speaker 2: this thing it's so just just utter chaos because I

2076
01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 2: don't know either, and it's it's actually crazy to see, well.

2077
01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:12,640
Speaker 1: In an uncapped league where you know there's an incredibly

2078
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,599
Speaker 1: i don't know, not just a network and a history

2079
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:19,479
Speaker 1: that that goes the way it goes, like you'd never

2080
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:22,680
Speaker 1: see something like this in the in the NFL. You

2081
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 1: you just wouldn't. But like, it's it's totally beyond me

2082
01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 1: why a multi multi billion dollar parent organization would allow

2083
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:43,599
Speaker 1: one of its franchises to be operated this way. I mean,

2084
01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:47,360
Speaker 1: forget simple stuff like if you're going to have salary caps,

2085
01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:50,280
Speaker 1: and if you're going to have luxury tax penalties, then

2086
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:54,240
Speaker 1: you also need a salary floor. You've you've got to

2087
01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:57,160
Speaker 1: have these teams spending at least a certain amount of

2088
01:52:57,240 --> 01:53:02,160
Speaker 1: money to be a viable team, or or change their

2089
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 1: name to the Washington Generals because that's who they are.

2090
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:07,280
Speaker 1: They're just here. So the Yankees and Red Sox have

2091
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:13,600
Speaker 1: somebody to play. I mean, honestly, it's it. I know

2092
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:16,800
Speaker 1: most people listening to us, and even I I I

2093
01:53:16,920 --> 01:53:18,960
Speaker 1: don't know all the ins and outs of where this

2094
01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:22,280
Speaker 1: story has been ye, but it is. It is one

2095
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 1: of the greatest abuses of power and one of the

2096
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:31,559
Speaker 1: most mismanaged sports organizations I've ever seen in my entire life.

2097
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:35,160
Speaker 1: And it just shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.

2098
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:38,639
Speaker 2: And how did it get so bad, so so so fast.

2099
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:45,519
Speaker 1: His name is John Fisher. His name is John Fisher. Yeah, yeah,

2100
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:47,760
Speaker 1: it's wild. All right, We're gonna uh, we'll get some

2101
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 1: final thoughts on all this. Kerry Rhads, Mark Wheart, Fox

2102
01:53:50,040 --> 01:54:05,600
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, tyrec dot Com Studios. I don't even know

2103
01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:09,960
Speaker 1: what we just watched. What did we just watch? It's

2104
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 1: a final. The West scores one hundred and eighty six

2105
01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:23,559
Speaker 1: points and uh and still loses by twenty five. Hey

2106
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:36,080
Speaker 1: two eleven to one eight six. Karl Anthony Towns with

2107
01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:42,280
Speaker 1: fifty off the bench. That's a new phrase. Fifty off

2108
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 1: the bench. Bench, yep, yep. Dame Lillard with thirty nine

2109
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 1: to uh pace the East. Jalen Brown thirty six off

2110
01:54:55,960 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 1: the bench. You gotta give it to Haliburton, though, don't you.

2111
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm watching this right now. Is Halliburton going to get

2112
01:55:04,080 --> 01:55:04,480
Speaker 1: the MVP?

2113
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 4: Or no?

2114
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:05,520
Speaker 1: What did he have?

2115
01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:06,839
Speaker 2: I didn't hear Haliburton.

2116
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:10,240
Speaker 3: You get thirty two, but ten of fourteen from three

2117
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:10,880
Speaker 3: point range?

2118
01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:12,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he should get it. They won these one

2119
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:14,400
Speaker 2: and yeah, yeah, yeah.

2120
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 1: They won, and it's it's in Indiana. I see Lillard

2121
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:21,360
Speaker 1: standing right behind out him silver. Don't do it, dame,

2122
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:25,480
Speaker 1: and they're looking at all of them. I don't know.

2123
01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:28,560
Speaker 1: You got to give it to Halliburton, don't you would?

2124
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:32,680
Speaker 2: I would think? So, Yeah, they won the game. He

2125
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:36,480
Speaker 2: got thirty thirty two and shot hit ten threes and

2126
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:38,680
Speaker 2: he's at home. Yeah, give it to him.

2127
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:38,920
Speaker 1: Why not?

2128
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:40,920
Speaker 2: I think the guys were trying to get it for

2129
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:42,240
Speaker 2: him as well down the stretch there.

2130
01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 1: So this is getting too predictable for me, which is

2131
01:55:48,840 --> 01:55:54,040
Speaker 1: just the sort of social media response is going to

2132
01:55:54,120 --> 01:55:57,080
Speaker 1: be to rip this thing for a lack of competitiveness.

2133
01:55:57,240 --> 01:56:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm like, when when was the last time

2134
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 3: this was competitive?

2135
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:07,480
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, don't don't don't show

2136
01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 1: up to the party with alcohol and then get surprised

2137
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 1: when the cops come right right, right, right right? We

2138
01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:18,960
Speaker 1: know what this is we know what this is. And

2139
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:21,320
Speaker 1: and like I said, for everybody who's going to go

2140
01:56:21,400 --> 01:56:23,520
Speaker 1: to their social media channels tonight and be like, oh,

2141
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 1: it's so stupid.

2142
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:28,640
Speaker 3: I can tell you'd hate it. If they tried, right,

2143
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:29,640
Speaker 3: you'd hate it.

2144
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:32,440
Speaker 1: And and and the first time someone twisted an ankle,

2145
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:34,880
Speaker 1: you'd you'd be like, what the heck are we doing

2146
01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:35,240
Speaker 1: out there?

2147
01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:39,680
Speaker 2: Exactly your hundred percent correct mark. It's it's again. It's

2148
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:46,000
Speaker 2: just people powling on something that's already seemingly becoming a problem.

2149
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:49,320
Speaker 2: You know, once once the once you start steam rolling

2150
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:52,200
Speaker 2: down the hill, and that that that stone starts to

2151
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:54,440
Speaker 2: pick up a little momentum, people like to jump. People

2152
01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:56,840
Speaker 2: like to jump on board with it and just pole

2153
01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:00,200
Speaker 2: on instead of trying to be the uh awful up

2154
01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:02,160
Speaker 2: some type of way to make it better if you want.

2155
01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:04,879
Speaker 2: But you know, you can do that or you can complain.

2156
01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 2: And what side do Most people fall on the complaining part.

2157
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:11,760
Speaker 2: It looks like Dame Littlett won the MVP, though as

2158
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:13,560
Speaker 2: we as we're speaking about it.

2159
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:18,120
Speaker 1: He sure did. Man, I'm pretty upset at Dave Lillard

2160
01:57:18,200 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 1: right now. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not

2161
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you at all. They had the exact

2162
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:24,760
Speaker 1: same number of minutes pretty much twenty seven to twenty

2163
01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 1: six as Tyrese Halliburton. But he shot the ball eleven

2164
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:33,080
Speaker 1: more times, and I get, like, I get why they

2165
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:36,200
Speaker 1: gave it. He hit two half court shots, yep. He

2166
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:39,480
Speaker 1: makes half court shots look like they're just set three pointers.

2167
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:41,360
Speaker 1: It's super intense. It's crazy.

2168
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 2: It is crazy.

2169
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:45,440
Speaker 1: So that's a whole lot of fun. But I don't know, man,

2170
01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 1: that's an odd thing to do. Like the guys in

2171
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:51,560
Speaker 1: his home arena, right, he looks actually upset about it too.

2172
01:57:51,800 --> 01:57:55,960
Speaker 1: They show like a throwaway shot of Haliburton. I think

2173
01:57:56,000 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 1: he wanted it. Well, here's here's what's really here's what's

2174
01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 1: really ridiculous about it. Halliburton hits a bunch of late

2175
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:07,560
Speaker 1: threes and he gets to his thirty two points and

2176
01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:08,840
Speaker 1: Dames got thirty three.

2177
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 3: The one point apart, oh, one point apart.

2178
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:15,120
Speaker 2: Wait a minute to go in the game mark and

2179
01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 2: then Dame's like, you get here, and they show I'm

2180
01:58:19,680 --> 01:58:20,440
Speaker 2: gonna shoot two.

2181
01:58:20,440 --> 01:58:23,160
Speaker 1: More threes and one of them is gonna be from

2182
01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:27,080
Speaker 1: half court to steal your MVP award in your building.

2183
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:30,400
Speaker 2: Right, And that was a shot of Halliburton at the end.

2184
01:58:30,480 --> 01:58:32,360
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't know why he was doing it,

2185
01:58:32,440 --> 01:58:34,839
Speaker 2: but he was trying to get the ball from Jokis

2186
01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:36,400
Speaker 2: at the end. I think he's trying to get another

2187
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:39,560
Speaker 2: shot up well, and jo Kich might have.

2188
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:41,240
Speaker 1: Given it to him. I would like to give the

2189
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 1: award to Nicola Jokich because he's got the right level

2190
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 1: of h Do you know what I'm saying when I

2191
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:52,240
Speaker 1: say idg AF, Yes, I do.

2192
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, he's got the right level of that out there.

2193
01:58:56,480 --> 01:58:59,720
Speaker 1: He's just bopping along like why are you all?

2194
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 4: Like?

2195
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 1: Who cares?

2196
01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 8: Right?

2197
01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:06,000
Speaker 3: He just he looks like he's bothered that he needs

2198
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:06,440
Speaker 3: to run.

2199
01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:10,840
Speaker 2: It looked like it hurts for him to run. It does,

2200
01:59:11,200 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 2: and he's gonna give you and he's going to give

2201
01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:14,640
Speaker 2: you thirty five and sixteen when it counts.

2202
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:18,080
Speaker 1: How is that guy the MVP? It totally looks like

2203
01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:18,720
Speaker 1: he's in pain.

2204
01:59:18,920 --> 01:59:19,880
Speaker 2: It does the whole time.

2205
01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 1: Oh god. Yeah, So he's kind of striking the court

2206
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 1: for me. I'm like, look, yo, Kitchen and I have

2207
01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:30,960
Speaker 1: the same level of interest in this game. Yeah, So

2208
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, let's go. I'm into NICOLEA. Jokicch, But

2209
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,360
Speaker 1: but I'm down on Dame Lillard. Man, he stole the

2210
01:59:37,560 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: MVP from the hometown kid. That's Lames.

2211
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:41,440
