29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: will never leave your head. Now, we'll hear that a

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 2: little bit later on as we go gues. Happy Mother's

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: Day to all the serve that very widely defined role

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: across this world. I'm still blessed to have my mom

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: down in Florida. I got. I woke up to a

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: couple of text messages from her. It just generally does

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: not happen unless say, I haven't heard from you, where

36
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: the hell are you? Kind of thing. This was, you know, sweet,

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: my younger brother had made the trip down and we'd

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: sign some cards, and you know, you get sappy and

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: you start because here's the here's the trick they're now doing, right.

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 2: You get good cover art on these nine dollars cards,

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: because that's the other thing get. You get a thing

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: of pencil, you know, colored pencils and markers, and even

43
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: if you can't draw worth anything save yourself, to nine dollars,

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: it's a lot. It's a lot. Like I think my

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: older brother picked out a car that was like sixteen

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: bucks and we looked at each other's like there's no way,

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: just no way that that's an extra sandwich that that

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: someone's not eaten. But the trick now is you open

49
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: up the car and like you either it goes one

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: way or the other. You've got pros that goes on

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: for days like they're they're Charles Dickens writing, you know,

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: the episodic thing to keep the money flowing in, or

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: it's a blank slate.

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: There is there is no happy medium, right, It's mom,

55
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day, inside, Happy Mother's Day, and that's it.

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: That's one end of the spectrum. And then you said

57
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: it's a novel in some other parts.

58
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: Mike, I'm reading this like, I don't know. That third

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: paragraph gets a little odd, so you get that out.

60
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: But all that to say, happy Mother's Day, brunches and

61
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: lunches and barbecues and whatever else you're doing, if you're

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: all to celebrate with those that are with you there

63
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: at fantastic times for those missing their moms. We'll try

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: to allay some of that today with some laughter, some

65
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: information and I'll as always, we just tell you, you know,

66
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: keep those phone lines, heat it up and make those

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: calls to your people in your life. All right, as

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: we get going, Dan, you know, the NBA playoffs have

69
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 2: been a fantastic topsy turvy world right on a night

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: to night basis. We've gone back to something I think

71
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: maybe fifteen years ago. I had this process whereby I

72
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: would figure out, all right, notify me when there's about

73
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: five minutes left, and I'll dial up here. You want

74
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: to see the roller coaster, because back then it was

75
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: all right, is it close late? Here we're getting some

76
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: of that, but you're getting some giant twenty twenty five

77
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: point swings in the interim, right blowout for two and

78
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: a half quarters, and then massive comebacks, and it's just

79
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: been just kind of an odd pacing. We used to

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: see that in college basketball a lot, right, where you'd

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: get the old momentum runs and all those kind of things,

82
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: whereas with the NBA we're seeing more of it. But

83
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: because of some of these early round gaffs, some early

84
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: round inequities and lack of stellar play, we've got intriguing

85
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: series across the board. Right home teams losing what they

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: had six straight before that finally got snapped here in

87
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: the second round, which makes for a lot of anxiety,

88
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: but a lot of interest because you're seeing the TV ratings, whatever,

89
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: the Q rating, in terms of articles written, social media engagement,

90
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 2: all of that bounces up because everybody's got an eyebrow

91
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: raise because game to game, you don't have any idea

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 2: what you're getting, much like the old box of chocolates

93
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: from Forrest Gump.

94
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Well, I would say fifteen years ago, I would say

95
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: ten years ago. I'd actually say probably eight even eight

96
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: years ago, we knew exactly what we were getting, and

97
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: that was a problem for me in the NBA and

98
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Mike it's actually been a problem for the last forty years,

99
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: and at least in my mind. Others may not feel

100
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: that way. But to your point about we see this

101
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: sort of stuff in college, we don't necessarily see it

102
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: in the NBA, I also think that that's a good

103
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: thing because it's a bit of a representation of the

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: level of basketball that we have now. In saying that

105
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics of last year, or the Denver Nuggets

106
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: of the year before, or even the Golden State Warriors

107
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: of the year prior were some of the worst NBA

108
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: champions that we've had, which I think that we could

109
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: say that I have no problem saying that. What it

110
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: has also done is delivered us a basketball product that

111
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: is unpredictable over these two months of NBA playoffs, And

112
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: it dawned on me recently and watching those Nick Celtics

113
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: games of the first two games of the series, of

114
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: how we freshing it was even yesterday with the Celtics

115
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: up so much, you're still saying, well, maybe the nixt

116
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: seven other one in them. We've saw it the first

117
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: two games. Why wouldn't it happen again?

118
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: Suddenly the three point shots don't fall and we get

119
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: back to it. Sure basics, Yeah.

120
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: But when I just vividly remember in the last two

121
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: finals that the Warriors ended up going to with Kevin

122
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: Durant obviously with the Raptors, but the one before against

123
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: the Raptors, but the one before that against the Cavaliers,

124
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: and the one in twenty seventeen. Prior to that, we

125
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: were just biding our time for another Cavaliers Warriors.

126
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 2: Well, but that was the thing right before the season,

127
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: Like we had a running joke in our other studio

128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: like down the hallway was our original studio. We've moved

129
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: into these nice places, big lights, lots of tds. We

130
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: had a whiteboard and we would joke, jokingly do it

131
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: on the night of the first day of the NBA.

132
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: It's like, how many teams could be in the finals?

133
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you gotta put a second team with

134
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: the Cavs. You just can't write Cavaliers on the Eastern

135
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: Conference side. And then you had the Warriors and maybe

136
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: you pock on yeah, whatever the team was on that

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: given year, but that was it. Like you were playing

138
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: from a four team because you were forcing that four

139
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: team in because someone had to play in the Eastern

140
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: Conference finals. But otherwise, like unless you had a bunch

141
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: of injuries and just ill timed, ill faded issues, it

142
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: seemed fata complete. And this year, while we had three

143
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 2: teams that ran away and hid in the regular season,

144
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: I think we've all come to realize regular season half

145
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: the teams don't play to win the regular season, right,

146
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: It's how do I get to mid April feeling like

147
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: we got some semblance of consistency on both ends of

148
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: the court. Oh, and to have all our guys healthy.

149
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think there's a there's a point

150
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: now in the in the season where you need to

151
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: start playing well in mid March and and maybe end

152
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: of February mid March to ride some of that momentum

153
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: into the playoffs starting in mid April. But I think

154
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: that what we've seen is we may have seen the

155
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: level of team go down in the NBA a notch,

156
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: but I think that's what's added to it. This NBA

157
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: that we know was led by Magic Johnson, Larry Bird,

158
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: then Michael Jordan, then Shaq, then Kobe, then Lebron and

159
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, all of those names, and those

160
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: have been the top pillar names that we've had, and

161
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: we expected to see those faces in the NBA finals.

162
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: We saw it for Lebron for almost a decade. I

163
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: mean every single year Lebron's in an NBA finals. And

164
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: to your point, we're not that we're stretching to find

165
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: three or four teams. But yeah, there was the Rockets,

166
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah there was the Thunder, but we were basically planning

167
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: for a Warriors Cavs final, and it made the playoffs

168
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: pretty uninteresting. And even if the Western Conference finals were

169
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: interesting at that point, it still took us seemingly five

170
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: weeks to get there, right through the first two rounds

171
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Now we have a scenario where again

172
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't know who's good. I don't know if any

173
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: of these teams are great in the NBA playoffs, but

174
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: Doug Garnnett, they've given us great games and great storylines throughout.

175
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: So when you're talking about a twenty five point lead

176
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: by a team or a twenty point lead, yeah, right now,

177
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: these teams aren't perfect. We see seven point leads with

178
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: a minute to go in the games and teams completely

179
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: fall apart. There is something dramatic to that, and I

180
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: think it's made the NBA playoffs better. I don't think

181
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: these teams are great, but for my entire lifetime and

182
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: your entire lifetime, we've been told the NBA has to

183
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: be run by superpowers, and I think we now see

184
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: really what Parody is doing, and Parody is providing us

185
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: drama in April and May that we hadn't had for

186
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: a long time.

187
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: Now for giggles, I went back a decade. Right, So

188
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: this ends in the Warriors Cavaliers four games to two finals,

189
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: first round to one, a four to three four to one,

190
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 2: four to one, sweep, sweep, four two, four to two,

191
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: second round four to three, four two four two for two,

192
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: and then the conference finals were for to one and

193
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: a suite. To your point, right, not a lot of competition.

194
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: You have to go back game to game and see

195
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: exactly how the series flowed, right, the giveaway games and

196
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: all of those kinds of things. But to your point is,

197
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: you know, even in Cleveland and Oklahoma City, it might

198
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: have seemed in the moment the well week ish our

199
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: argument about hey, they haven't been here before, But championship

200
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: metal does matter, right, the ability to close out games.

201
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: We're watching it time and again, and it's a great

202
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 2: reminder for all of.

203
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: You at your jobs.

204
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: Whatever you do, however you do it from pillar to post,

205
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: all the way across the globe on the iHeartRadio app,

206
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: not everybody always knows what the hell they're doing in

207
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: a position of power. Because how many coaching gaffs do

208
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: you spot on a daily basis, like losing seven point

209
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: leads in the final forty seconds or games, you know,

210
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: putting your right person on on so when you get fouled,

211
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: you don't have a guy that's a fifty two sent

212
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 2: foul shooter getting sent something.

213
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: As simple as Mark Dagnall and the Thunder fouling Aaron

214
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: Gordon way too early on an inbounds play where in

215
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: game one, where like like that minor decision instead of

216
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: letting some time run off the clock and then fouling

217
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: them because you're up three in that scenario, like they

218
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: fouled way too early. And I don't feel like we

219
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: were breaking down like these scenarios in those cases because

220
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: maybe the games weren't closed. Maybe these things that we

221
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: were that were hanging in the balance really weren't because

222
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: we knew the ultimate outcome. But that decision in game

223
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: one could ultimately cost the Thunder the series, as now

224
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: they sit there down to one and I think that

225
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: I think that's great for the NBA playoffs, and it's

226
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: something that we've been told for forty years. The NBA

227
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: has run on stars and big brands, and now over

228
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, we've seen it run on parody.

229
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: And I'm not mad about it. I can't be mad

230
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: about it. Twenty seventeen, Mike, that year, the Warriors lost

231
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: one game in the playoffs, and it was in the

232
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. Thos who was sweep sweep, sweep Cavaliers, you know,

233
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: march through it in that same year. What drama is

234
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: there in that twenty seventeen Kevin Durant leaving for the

235
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: Warriors may have been the low point of the NBA

236
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: in the history because of how bad it took away

237
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. But now we see these great games.

238
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: As you said, now a team's up twenty you know what,

239
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: I may stick around and see this because they could

240
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: actually blow it.

241
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: But it's the tough thing, right, because we love dominance

242
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: on one side, right, because we all a lot of

243
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: sports celebradio yep, sports media is, let's celebrate greatness. Let's

244
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: celebrate dominance.

245
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: Right.

246
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: Me, being a Chicago guy, I go back on Friday

247
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: and the I'm at the White Sox game against the Marlins. Yes,

248
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: I went to see a White Sox Marlins game. And

249
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: they're wearing those City connect uniforms that bridge the bulls

250
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: in the White Sox and up close and personal, it's

251
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: pretty cool. Got a lot of graphics there. It almost

252
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: looks like Cain is coming down to the to the

253
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: ring to our WWE first reference of the day. But

254
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: like just people kind of celebrating that. But it's it's

255
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: that kind of thing of all right, this is different.

256
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: But going back to those Bulls teams, because that's where

257
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: the conversation is. Chicago's had outliers, right White Sox in

258
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: two thousand and five, which evidently the Pope was at

259
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: the game, which is a whole other thing. Is awesome, well,

260
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: but it's also going into a weird space. Way too

261
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: many people just making T shirts and trying to profit

262
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: off dub Pope. Yeah, I can't fault a good strategy,

263
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: what can I say? But otherwise you got the the

264
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: White Sox, all right, White Sox and O five Cubs

265
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen, the team that was supposed to be,

266
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, this juggernaut. They had their one year, they

267
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: got there and then they move off the Blackhawks. You

268
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: go back to a couple of years against the Kings

269
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: and some great battles, but otherwise you're going all the

270
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: way back to the Bulls. Jordan in ninety eight, and

271
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 2: obviously I was on the right side of it in terms.

272
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: Of, yeah, win every year.

273
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: Go For the rest of the NBA, it was it's

274
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: the bullsy end, correct, right, So for a decade we

275
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: celebrate greatness on one hand, but that's like the void

276
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: because you know, they got that laundry list of guys

277
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: and they never want a title because of that guy. Right,

278
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: A whole generation of stars never got their moment on

279
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: the dais because of those bulls teams. And but now

280
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: we've got a whole cadre of stars that have a chance,

281
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: yes to take those next steps.

282
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: Who's going to do it? We don't know. We don't

283
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: know if it's going to be Anthony Edwards, who was

284
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: magnificent last night in the third quarter, in the second

285
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: half of the Minnesota tim Rowolves, like there was like

286
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: it's it could be his stage. SGA now has an

287
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to try to turn things around and what is

288
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: likely the MVP season. Can Jokic do it again? There's

289
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. Will Steph come back and play

290
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: the hero with the Celtics rebound? Will it be the

291
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, Joe Hyre's Halliburton. I Like there's there's all

292
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: of these storylines that are still alive that could come

293
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: to fruition, and that didn't happen in the NBA ten

294
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: years ago, didn't happen thirty years ago, there were almost

295
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: predetermined outcomes, predestined outcomes because of how the NBA has

296
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: been built. And what that allowed us to do, Mike

297
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: was to say, guess what, the two thousand Lakers they

298
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't have beaten, the ninety Bulls or the two thousand

299
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Lakers they would have beaten. You have these arguments because

300
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: now you're going back in generations and arguing no one's

301
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: going to argue any of these teams that win a

302
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: title this year, last year, or the year before are

303
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, because they're not. They do

304
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: not measure up by any means. Maybe for Golden Stated

305
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: ads to the fourth but you could say maybe it

306
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: was the weakest of their titles. But in saying all

307
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: of that, and how we look at history again, how

308
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: great has this first month been of the NBA playoffs?

309
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: And my team got ousted in five games in the

310
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: first round and I've still been able to enjoy it.

311
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: So there's not even a bias of my team doing well.

312
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Your team isn't even in the eighteen bracket, no offense,

313
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: but there's no reason for you to all of a

314
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: sudden fall in love with how this is the unknown

315
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: of the NBA has been what's been so great about

316
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: this last month? Last night, maybe Butler and Kaminga can

317
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: pull it off. Guess what Anthony Edwards not out of

318
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: his mind, but darn good last night ends up. Julius

319
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: Randall great for Minnesota. Guess what Timberwolves now up to one.

320
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: We'll see if the Warriors have a different story, if

321
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: Steph can come back. But all of it's still up

322
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: in the air, and it's I think it's wonderful.

323
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: We'll get back to Jonathan Kaminga because he's either hero

324
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: or goat based on something he did yesterday for you.

325
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: The other thing, this helps all these narratives. You went

326
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: down a laundry list of storylines. You don't have to

327
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: think about where's Giannis going right now? Sure you're still

328
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: thinking about basketball. Yes, I think that's great, and we're

329
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: not talking about Lebron. See there's the one time. I

330
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: don't think we're gonna mention him the rest of the show.

331
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: So it's awesome, I feel in a way. Yeah, and

332
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: it may not again stack up to history, which is

333
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: the way that we've always done it. Mike sixties Celtics,

334
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: you know, eighties Lakers and Celtics, nineties Bulls. I mentioned

335
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: the two thousand Lakers, whatever team Lebron was on in

336
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: the twenty teens, like we stack those teams up to

337
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: other teams. I don't think we're gonna do that in

338
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: the twenty twenties, but for our viewing pleasure, it's it's

339
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: been really good.

340
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: Well, next decade, when you and I are on the

341
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: air together, we'll do the other I got worst champions

00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,280

377
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: week in Front of a church, a big speech, Derek

378
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 2: Carr walking back and forth, taking his shots at media members,

379
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: taking his shots at the NFL collective and information flowing, etc.

380
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: We thought, okay, there's the off season Derek Carr. Let's

381
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: see what happens as we get ready for what was

382
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: supposed to be his final year in twenty twenty five.

383
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: And then abruptly the week ends and Derek Carr is

384
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: now retired, leaving approximately forty million on the table, but

385
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: he gets ten million back that they're not going to

386
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: chase him down for see Detroit. See he goes back

387
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: to chasing down those signing bonuses. Just let him take

388
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: his money. It's done. But now it opens the void

389
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: as to what the quarterback competition will be. You have

390
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck, who everybody has taken every opportunity, his age

391
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: and all these different metrics to tell you how terrible

392
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: he is. Right now, he's in the one chair. Spencer

393
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: Rattler there last year, and then Jay Hayner, your three

394
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: man battle barring something unforeseen happening at the quarterback position.

395
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: But immediately he's like, all right, I started ranking. And

396
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: while I may not love Derek Carr as a quarterback.

397
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: And that's the other part of this story, which we'll

398
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: get to in a second. Dan is you know, Derek

399
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: carr legacy is always just such a big, grandiose word

400
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: we put on things. But it's like, was he as

401
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 2: bad as as folks wanted to make him? Or was

402
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: he just pretty good and just not a lead? Right,

403
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: those kind of things. But Chris Alave, Brandon Cooks comes in,

404
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: and then you've got Alvin Kamara, three guys that, for

405
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: fantasy purposes, might have had a lave coming back off

406
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: an injury. Co all right, Derek Carr is not brilliant

407
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 2: and he's not going to light up the scoreboard game

408
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: to games, sure, but Chris Alave is really good boom,

409
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 2: all right, He's still going to be a back end

410
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: WR one. Right for Alvin Kamara, we talk about age

411
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: injuries question, but still a two threat back with the

412
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: number of receptions out of the backfield. Still a guy

413
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: probably hey RB backhand RB one, maybe high end RB two,

414
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: depending on your league's settings, depending on how you're going

415
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 2: through your processes. But now all of a sudden that's

416
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: cast asunder because it's something we have talked about and

417
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 2: it's the larger conversation because this doesn't just affect the

418
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five season. It is something that we're looking

419
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: at quarterbacks for twenty twenty six, and there's that name

420
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: that immediately starts creeping up into the picture. Hasn't played

421
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: a lot of football, hasn't done a lot of other

422
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: but it doesn't matter. Developmental guy. It's kind of like

423
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: an NBA draft pick of hey, we'll teach them here. Yeah,

424
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: and that's arch Manning.

425
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: That's absolutely arch Manning. That's why the conversation of should

426
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: or Sanders going to the Saints, which, by the way,

427
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: when Derek Carr retired, was brought up by some of saying,

428
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: cheez gosh, why don't you tay should or Sanders to

429
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: the point that you're making, well, they took Tyler Shook

430
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: three rounds before should or Sanders win, so that's obviously

431
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: where they wanted to go. But also when you take

432
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: Shook in the second round, you're not fully committed to him.

433
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: And the thing again with arch Manning, and we have

434
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: seen mock drafts come out for twenty twenty six. Some

435
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: will include him, some will not include him. I think

436
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: that you have to include him if the Saints have

437
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: the first overall pick, and I know that there's no

438
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 1: way to do a mock draft and really get the

439
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: order of teams. But Mike, again, we're gonna know, We're

440
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna know where who has the number one pick when

441
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: Arch Manning ultimately makes his decision on whether to stay

442
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: or go. And again with the Manning pedigree, talk about

443
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: should or Sanders and what was the conversation leading up

444
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: to the draft. Though he may not play here, he

445
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: may not play there. We know the Mannings have done

446
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: it before. So if you want to keep Arch in Austin,

447
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: maybe there's a team atop the draft that he doesn't

448
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: want to go to. But if that team is the Saints,

449
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: ready or not, I think Arch goes into the draft,

450
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that they're tanking, but again, I

451
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: think Kellen Moore is there for the long haul. I

452
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: think this is a complete wash fantasy wise. I don't

453
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: see tons of value there. It's likely going to be

454
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: a wasted season for New Orleans. We'll just have to

455
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: find out if the payoff is big enough in the spring.

456
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the curiosity right when we talk about the Mannings. Obviously,

457
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: Eli and Peyton did their full times in college sports.

458
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 2: Now it's a different world. Arch has made a ton

459
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: of money. He's got endorsement deals, he's got his nil money,

460
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: family money. But certainly you look at between his Panini

461
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 2: nil and whatever else he's got cash. It's now just

462
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: a question of do you do the development of mind?

463
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 2: And we don't know if he's really any good at

464
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: this point. Right, he's got the surname, and he's got glimpses,

465
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: and he's faster than all those other guys. That's what

466
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: we know. But he's got a powerhouse team and the

467
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: expectations are what are they preseason number two higher state

468
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: in Texas. The last I looked where the top two squads.

469
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: So if he goes out and performs, then yeah, it fills.

470
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: And it's also a different day and age in terms

471
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: of staying through school. You can always go back get

472
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 2: your degree. You always could do this, Yes, dirty little

473
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: secret that I've been arguing about for years, like if

474
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 2: you really want to go back and sit in a

475
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: classroom or sit in your boxers at your house, it's

476
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 2: never been easier to get a degree. Sure, you can

477
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: go back at any point.

478
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: And the argument on nil is interesting because I think

479
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: it matters to a lot of the players in college football.

480
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters to arche Manic, right. I

481
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: think that there are decisions Nil had Quinn Yours entering

482
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: the college game sooner than he should have been because

483
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: he couldn't make NIL in high school. So he says, well,

484
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna reclassify, I'll go to Ohio State early and

485
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: now I can make my NIL money. And there may

486
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: have been a rush process. He was could have stuck

487
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: around in Austin or transferred elsewhere, which is likely the

488
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: option if he didn't go into the NFL draft and

489
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: he ends up being a seventh round pick. But there's

490
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: a question where like NL, nil plays a plays a role.

491
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: The flips out of it is Arch doesn't necessarily need ANIL.

492
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: But even if that's one of the main points, if

493
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: you enter now, he is a year closer to getting

494
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: a mega deal as a quarterback if things play out,

495
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: and so I think that that would play in for

496
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: a lot of other quarterbacks. But again I think he's different.

497
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: I think that he they will they will pick their spots,

498
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: they will understand if this works here or there. And

499
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: I just feel if New Orleans is that spot. It

500
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: is a no brainer because of his grandpa, Like that

501
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: is a It is an absolute no brainer's where they're

502
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: all from now because of their grandpa, like it just

503
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: it ends up working out in Mike. I just so

504
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: the Derek Carr retirement is just another step closer to

505
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: arch Manning in my mind, being in New Orleans.

506
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: What I think is also interesting is that it would

507
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: beget a different level. And I alluded to it before

508
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: for the NFL of we've done it a few times

509
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: where it's guy's got a very small sample size, right

510
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson, not exactly the best data point to jump

511
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: off of, but where you see some of these skills

512
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: and then it's a question of how quickly can you

513
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: learn can you teach him up, coach him up and

514
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: get him to a better spot. Well, clearly it hasn't

515
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: happened at this point. Now you've got competition in Indianapolis.

516
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. But we've always watched the NBA

517
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: Draft and it's always the well, this guy's turned eighteen,

518
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: we think he's going to grow another two inches. We'll

519
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: put twenty pounds a muscle on him, and in three years,

520
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: he'll be ready to be a contributing, rotational guy. Arch

521
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: Manning might be one of the guys that becomes a

522
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: prototype of a new NFL of Hey, we've got a

523
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: long build, right, we understand we've got some veterans we

524
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 2: want to make sure we don't give away the final

525
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: years of their career because they've got a couple of

526
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: guys that are long standing members there that I think

527
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: you have to sell them a little bit on this concept,

528
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: or maybe they'll beg to get traded by the trade deadline.

529
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: But the idea that we can draft the guy that

530
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: we think with our guy Kellen Moore long term prospect

531
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: that it might take two years, but eventually he's going

532
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: to be that guy. Like I used to argue that

533
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: with Maurice Klerett all those years ago, Right he ripped

534
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: up his leg and then you had all the court

535
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 2: stuff and everything else, and he eventually goes down a

536
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: path and is not an NFL guy. I'd had from

537
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,239
Speaker 2: people I trusted a couple of teams that are like,

538
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: if we can get get him in here, we don't

539
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: even have to play him, Like he could just be

540
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 2: on the roster, be in our strength room, learn all

541
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 2: this stuff and eventually be our guy. For arch Manning,

542
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: perhaps there's a little bit of that. It's like developmental

543
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 2: for a year and if he outshines, then great he plays.

544
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: If not, he's our guy and we're able to you know,

545
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 2: lake Wame and build you know, empire with him.

546
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: You're bringing Kirk Cousins for a season if you wanted

547
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: to in twenty twenty six or right. And it means

548
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: that they're also the not committed to Tyler Shook either.

549
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: We've we've seen teams not be committed to guys picked

550
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: in the top ten, let alone in the second round.

551
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: So there isn't There isn't the Only thing that the

552
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Shook pick meant was that they just liked him

553
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: better than shoud Or Sanders and Dylan Gabriel and Will

554
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: Howard and Quinnyres and other quarterbacks that were available at

555
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: that time. It wasn't a he is our guy. It's

556
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: just that we liked him better. We found his value

557
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: to be good in the second round. But by no

558
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: means are they absolutely locked in and committed to him.

559
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: If the opportunity presents itself to get a better quarterback

560
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six.

561
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: All right, so seventy seven and ninety two for the career,

562
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: sixty five percent completion percentage, two hundred and fifty seven

563
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: touchdowns against one hundred and twelve interceptions, the career QBR

564
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: career rating of ninety two point eight at about forty

565
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: two thousand yards. Derek Carr, how would you evaluate? I mean,

566
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: you give him the eight to f what is he

567
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: a B minus?

568
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: I would I would grate him higher because of the

569
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: expectations that came in what was you an early second

570
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: round pick when he was drafted by the Raiders, so

571
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: there were expectations. But again you're not betting the farm

572
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: on them. The the the broken leg in their playoff year,

573
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: I think is the one that's going to to live

574
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: on and be the year. Obviously, he's not going to

575
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I don't think you

576
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: could put him up there with the Raider greats just

577
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: because there have been so many great Raiders. But he

578
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: will be a fan favorite of the Raiders because when

579
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: when have they gotten quarterback play? You know, like that

580
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: outside of a re emergence of rich Gannon late in

581
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: his career thirty years ago. Right, they went and well,

582
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: they went in two thousand three around that time, still

583
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: twenty years get myself another decade. But Mike, it's not

584
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: like they were. They were they were littered with great

585
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacking after Jim Plunkett, you know. So he gets into

586
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: that group like he'll be loved by the Raiders. His

587
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: number obviously is not being retired. But he'll be loved

588
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: by the Raiders, and that's that's good enough because there

589
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: are guys who have given more to their teams that

590
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: maybe aren't recognized as much as they should, because then

591
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: it rise to the level of others. He'll be a

592
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: Raider for life. That's who Derek Carr will be, and

593
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: that'll be good enough.

594
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: Always had that what if from that season right, they

595
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: were extraordinarily uncannily healthy the entire year. I don't know

596
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: how it might have been the fewest games missed by

597
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: twenty two starters in NFL history until he broke his leg. Oh,

598
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: MVP season, all of that shaping up and just like

599
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: that torn asunder.

600
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: A lot of guys would would if you could tell

601
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: them that they have the career that Derek Carr had.

602
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: As crazy as it is, and how we pick apart

603
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: things Mike and look at levels like that's a good

604
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: NFL career, So best to look to him. And in

605
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: the life after football.

606
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: There you go at Dan Byron Fox find me over

607
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: at Swollen Dome. Now it's houd to take a turn

608
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: off the newswire fantastic with our guy, Isaac Lowing Crown.

609
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: Hi Love, what's up, buddy?

610
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: Happy Sunday, Let's get it starting with today's NBA playoff

611
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 4: action that tips off at three point thirty Eastern from

612
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 4: the Mile High City with Denver holding a two games

613
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: to one lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. In Game three.

614
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 4: On Saturday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves what a Golden State

615
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,880

636
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,800

637
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 4: than in any other year that I can remember.

638
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,640

639
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: shot that was off of a Vegas Knights defenseman skate,

640
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,960

00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: What's the over undrown owned goals today?

642
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 4: Let me check the refresh one and a half.

643
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm taking it.

644
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: I'm taking the over baby. We got one major League

645
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: baseball game going on right now. The New York metsa

646
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,719

647
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 4: RBI tripled by the Mets Luis Torrenz on Saturday nights,

648
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: oh the Colorado Rockies. The San Diego Padres defeat of

649
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 4: the Rockies at Corsfield on Saturday night twenty one to nothing.

650
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 4: The Rockies have allowed fifty five runs over the last

651
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 4: three days. That's the most runs a Major League team

652
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 4: has allowed on a three day span in seventy five years,

653
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: since the Saint Louis Browns in June of nineteen fifty.

654
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 4: The Saint Louis Brown's now known, of course as the

655
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 4: Baltimore Orioles.

656
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, speaking of the Orioles through thirty

657
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: nine games, the nineteen eighty eight Orioles tied with these

658
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five Rockies for the most losses through thirty

659
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: nine games, with thirty three. I spills, they're outpacing my

660
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 2: White Sox of a year ago.

661
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 4: I still remember that Sports Illustrated cover when the Orioles

662
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 4: started Ozhen twenty one. I think that year that was

663
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 4: historically bad.

664
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: You're right, terrible stuff at Isaac Lowenkrown. I have a

665
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: bigger rant about the GMA and everything. I'll save that

666
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: offline because that might be colorful, h and a glimpse

667
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: into the wonderful world of management and recognizing your part

668
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: in what you've brought to bear. Anyway, he's Dan, I'm

669
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: Mike coming up next. Less is more, except in the NFL.

670
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 2: We'll crack the code next year.

671
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: On Fox.

672
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 3: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

673
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: See now, I'm all jacked up.

674
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: Let's go.

675
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 2: It's Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday. Mike Carmen, Dan

676
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 2: Bayer with you, and it's that time, that special time

677
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: of the show. Everybody's got their extra caffeinated beverages and

678
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: Dan's got a stick microphone.

679
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: And it's time to get the Fox family together on

680
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: this Mother's Day. Great megamix by Chris Burfett on that one,

681
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: blending one to another. The Fox Family consists of Mike Carmen,

682
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: Chris Purfett, producer Shay Shane Mahanguard. All right, thank you

683
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: very much, but it does not include Isaac Glow and

684
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: Crown Today. What kind of Isaac is going to be

685
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: a lifeline? You could call your I Low if you

686
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: guys want, there's one available for a game. The reason

687
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: being is Isaac passed along this topic to me during

688
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: the week and so a perfect opportunity to use this

689
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: on the show. And I'm going to put forth this rule,

690
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: Isaac if this ever happens again, you will host the

691
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: game and I will play along with the Fox family.

692
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: So you don't even need to send it to me.

693
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: You can say, Dan, I found something that's amazing. I

694
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: want to do it for the feud. I think it'd

695
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: be great. We'll hand the long skinny stick microphone over

696
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: to you and you can do it, all right, love

697
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: it all right? You so, but today you will at

698
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: least be a lifeline. So you're included. Top eleven answers

699
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: on the board. Eleven pro sports franchises in Major League Baseball,

700

Speaker 1: the NBA, and NHL with no S at the end

701
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: of their nickname. Now the NFL doesn't have any of these,

702
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: so they're not even included. But we're looking for the

703
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: the eleven teams in those three leagues at this second

704
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,880

708
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: there is no S at the end of thunder Oklahoma

709
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,680

00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: Well? Did they change their name earlier this week? They

714
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's official. That's why i'm as well.

715
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: I think they did. I think I'll save that just

716
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:38,720

717
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,520

00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: There it is.

719
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: It's a timely reason. We try to make some of

720
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: these timely at times, and that is the reason why

721

00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: Oh? Oh, show me the Colorado Avalanche nowhere. I think

772
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: the inspiration on that topic that uh was a good one.

773
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: It was uh sal capaccio right from uh covering the

774
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills.

775
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 4: From buff Yeah, Buffalo, Yeah, it.

776
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,439
Speaker 1: Covers the bills. Yeah. I gave the eleven and hey,

777
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: I like it because it allowed me a lot less work.

778
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: So that was of.

779
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 2: Spot bonus for you. Ilo at Damn buyer out Fox

780
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: found me over at Swollen Dow I'm coming up next.

781
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: We turned back to the NBA Fantastic Playoff action later

782
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: on today, Green Eggs walcome in an hour two of

783
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: the program. A beautiful Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio

784
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: here in southern California, where it was already eighty two

785
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: degrees on my dashboard.

786
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: It's it's cooking.

787
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: As I came from Chicago, where I was walking through

788
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 2: a bunch of wind tunnels and making sure I still

789
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: had feeling in my extremities. At the end, I got soft, Dan,

790
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 2: I got soft. I left uh Chicago years ago in

791
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 2: pursuit of the dream and whatever else and all the

792
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: highways and byways, and then I go home now and

793
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 2: the blood's thinned out to where everything's cold.

794
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I get it. I could completely understand.

795
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: You also had a whirlwind of a travel experience, and

796
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: so of here, there and everywhere, of doing your show,

797
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: going to the sports media conference that you went to,

798
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: and then hopping on a bird and flying back here

799
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: and then waiting up early and coming in. So you

800
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: deserve a little rest on this mother.

801
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 2: Job jacked up. It's a beautiful mother's day wherever you're celebrating. However,

802
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 2: you're celebrating, make sure to give a nod to the

803
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: mom in your life, Mom, Grandma, auntie, whoever helps to

804
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 2: fill you know some of those roles and define it

805
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: as you will. But one of the things that you know,

806
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 2: I got the earworm in for you early on and

807
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: it started to affect your speech patterns. Dan was this

808
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: classic from nineteen eighty four by a young, upstart recording

809
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: artist named Lawrence Tarot, known by a street name.

810
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: Of mister T.

811
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 2: And it goes on lyricist here was the same guy

812
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: that wrote the track be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool.

813
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: I can remember mister T the A team and obviously

814
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 2: Rocky three and into wrestling and all of those things.

815
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: But a massive run for him, and yes, a recording

816
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: contract mixed therein. My brother's sent me that and to

817
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: become an annual tradition to celebrate mister tea.

818
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. I wish we could play more, but

819
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: that we'd be at the oh mister T money, so

820
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: we had to cut it off when we did. But

821
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: a great way to honor moms. I know my mom's

822
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: listening today, so I want to say specifically Happy Mother's

823
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: Day to her. It is a it is a big

824
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: day on Seinfeld. We heard the mother of all holidays

825
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: and the greeting card business is Mother's Day. So I

826
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: hope people get a chance and if their moms aren't

827
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: around anymore, they can remember their mothers and honor those

828
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: moms that are around them. I don't because it can

829
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: get emotional for some that sure that may not have.

830
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: You know, my wife, I wish her a happy Mother's Day.

831
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: Her mom, my mother in law, is no longer with us,

832
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 1: so we'll take a little bit time today to remember

833
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: her as well. But a chance to enter, you know,

834
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: to honor all of our moms out there. My mom

835
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: was the best, never missed a sporting event even though

836
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: I was you know, we weren't good, we weren't winning games,

837
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: and I wasn't going anywhere. She was always there.

838
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: So appreciate her positivity. No question. The other day anniversary

839
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: that we could celebrate, you know, to take it to

840
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: the Shirley foolhardy. This was the day that ray Liota

841
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: was seeing helicopters making gravy and running around in Goodfellas,

842
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 2: so maybe it's an excuse to sit and watch good

843
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 2: Fellaws Later on, I don't know, whatever the case may be.

844
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 2: We got baseball going, We've got the Mets in the Cubs.

845
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 2: We've got Arsenal and Liverpool two two with about fifteen

846
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: minutes left in regulation. So much going on in our

847
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: sporting universe. And we get the NBA playoffs resume a

848
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: little bit later on today, we get Game four OKC

849
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 2: and Denver, Denver up to one in spite of a

850
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 2: horrid shooting game from Nicola Jokic last time out. And

851
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 2: then Cleveland and Indiana. No, I did not say Indianapolis,

852
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pat myself on the back, because that's normally

853
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 2: what I do. The Pacers up two games to one

854
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: in that one, Cleveland trying to get healthy. That's one

855
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: of the first I guess jumping off points for these playoffs.

856
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: Dan Is, you know Cleveland had a couple of players,

857
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 2: miss guys Hunter and obviously Garland with the toe injury,

858
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: to where you've had a little bit there. You watched

859
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 2: Steph Curry with this injury, monitoring how long he's going

860
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 2: to be out for the Warriors. And we'll get to

861
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: the Timberwolf side of it in a second. But thus far,

862
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 2: knock Wood, we've had pretty good health through these first

863
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: two rounds of the playoff. We did the parody conversation

864
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 2: last hour for those that missed at Shale, get the

865
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: podcast up as we finish up this show. But you

866
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: know the fact that we're getting all these stars out

867
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: night after night is a beautiful thing.

868
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, this this Steph Curry injury is a tough one,

869
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: but there is there. There is a little bit of

870
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: help there. And in the news that we got is

871
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: something that I said a couple of days ago that

872
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: I think what Golden State needs to do outside of

873
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: the Damian Lillard injury Isaac Bucks fan that was that

874
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: was a crusher. But you saw what happens when Cleveland

875
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 1: just gets back to full strength. And that's what that's

876
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: is so intriguing about these playoffs. And we touched a

877
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: bit off the top and saying there is an unknown

878
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: to it. But if you're the Cavaliers, you know, I'm

879
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: gonna take it from the Pacers side of things. I'll

880
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: do it that way. If you're the Indiana Pacers, you

881
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: go to Cleveland, you win two games that maybe it

882
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't have won, you end up stealing, especially the game two,

883
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: you end up getting a victory there and the Cavaliers

884
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: are shorthanded. They blow that huge lead, something we talked

885
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 1: about earlier as well. But you go into Game three

886
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, are we a better team? And Mike,

887
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: I think compared to the Celtics and Knicks series, and

888
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: maybe it's because people weren't familiar with Indiana are familiar

889
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: with Cleveland in that facet that more people and they

890
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: were familiar with Boston because Boston's the defending NBA champions.

891
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: But I think more people are giving Boston the credit

892
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: and opportunity if they can go win Game three in

893
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: New York and turn this thing around. I don't think

894
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: anybody was doing that with Cleveland. And the reason I

895
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: want to take it from the Pacers perspective is this

896
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: mic is I don't even know if they're good, Like

897
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Indiana is a good team or not.

898
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: We know that Tyre's Halliburton has been magnificent. Rick Carlisle

899
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: is one heck of a coach. Pascal Siakam has got

900
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: an NBA title under his belt, almost playing the robin

901
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: role to Kawhi Leonard in that in that Toronto run.

902
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: Miles Turner has been a piece that a lot of

903
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: people have wanted to get their hands on for years,

904
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: and he just continues to remain a Pacer. Aaron Ne

905
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: Smith has hit big shots, Andrew Nemhart's hit big shots

906
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: as well. For the Pacers, TJ McConnell is is is

907
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: a pit bull. I mean, there's they have players, but

908
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: in terms of like their team, Mike, I'm like, how

909
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: do teams not beat them? Right? And and so so

910
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy because I can I can look at

911
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: the Cavaliers and be like, well, yeah, obviously you see

912
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: why the Cavaliers are having such success. You can look

913
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma City and see their depth and SGA in

914
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: the whole deal with the Pacers, like, I'm like, I

915
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: don't know if they're good or not, but they're two

916
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 1: to one up in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

917
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 8: Good.

918
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: You know, they were able to take care of of

919
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: my Bucks, as they said, without without Damian Lillard, but

920
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: in coming back and fighting back against them. It's so

921
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: it's so intriguing to look at them because Tyre's Halliburton

922
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 1: has been so clutch and he's been so quick. But again, Mike,

923
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,479
Speaker 1: this is on the heels of an anonymous player poll

924
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: who the most overrated player in the league was, and

925
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton got fourteen percent of the vote. So when

926
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: we're looking at specifically the Eastern Conference playoffs, I think

927
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: we all can see whether the Knicks would be good,

928
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 1: while the Celtics would be good, and while the Caps

929
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: would be good. But I am miffed by the Pacers

930
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 1: and here they are up to one of the SEO.

931
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get into game time management. I mean maybe

932
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: this is where Carlisle gets a little bit of love

933
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: in that regard, right, Yeah, the moment's not too big,

934
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 2: Russ WIMPs now. And what's funny is you go back

935
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 2: in we had one of those great two minute reports

936
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 2: that the Nie Smith put back dunk shouldn't have counted.

937
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: So we always have those little asterisks that get thrown in.

938
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: You get a good apology whatever. But for the Pacers,

939
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 2: maybe it's just that, right, you've got a tight rotation

940
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 2: of seven guys and a coach that in big moments,

941
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 2: your team's not throwing up on itself, not being able

942
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 2: to get a ball in bounds, not dribbling off their leg,

943
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 2: not losing a defensive rotation.

944
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: They and they aren't going to stop you, so if

945
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: you play with that, they want to score. But that's

946
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: the funny thing in those defensive situations is that they've

947
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: gotten key defensive plays when they're not really a defensive team,

948
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: which is another reason maybe why I'm not necessarily buying in.

949
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: I don't know who is great in that scenario, but

950
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: the Pacers, you know, are a team that I think

951
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: much more, much more of a strength offensively than going

952
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: in and locking down a team over the final minute.

953
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: Yet here they are forcing turnovers and wreaking havoc and

954
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: pulling out these games that they had no business of doing.

955
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 2: So now let's circle back to last night. Right you

956
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 2: talk about the Warriors missing Steph Curry. They get a

957
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 2: great game from Jimmy Butler. He goes for thirty three,

958
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 2: but a guy who's been much maligned through his NBA career,

959
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 2: partially because he was a member of the Knicks, which

960
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: means everything is going to be magnified Lakers before that,

961
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 2: going back to his draft status, Julius Randall has a

962
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 2: triple double. But he's the nice robin to Anthony Edwards,

963
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 2: who really is an interesting character in this NBA telenovela

964
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 2: as we go through right now, as a lead man

965
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 2: and a guy that people keep trying to thrust the

966
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 2: face of the league. He's had a couple of no shows,

967
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 2: had a scary all right, is he going to be hurt? No,

968
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 2: he comes back out of the locker room and he

969
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 2: plays and then has a huge Game three. But a

970
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 2: guy that for the national narrative, one of those trying

971
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: to put the mantle face of the NBA put that

972
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 2: title on a guy from Minnesota and thus far averaging

973
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 2: about twenty seven points a game in these playoffs and

974
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 2: has the pension for the spectacular. Right again, another guy

975
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 2: who embraces the spotlight, win, loser, draw, right. He wants

976
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 2: the ball in his hands, which you can't say that

977
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 2: for a lot of these superstars of the NBA.

978
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: No, and heck and a lot of the guys in

979
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: the NBA who wants to score on the block and

980
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: down low? Right now, it's just a three point fest. Yeah,

981
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean Rudy Gobert, for as great as he's been

982
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, he's not the guy that you run

983
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 1: your offense through. So when he's getting twenty seven points,

984
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: he's doing it on alley oops and dunks and putbacks.

985
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: Nas Reed is seven feet and he's out there chucking.

986
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 2: Threes, hanging around the end.

987
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and so like it gives them an opportunity.

988
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: And honestly, where Golden State is, we know that they

989
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: are at their weakest is inside and when Steph Curry

990
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: is avail available, and obviously lineups change a little bit,

991
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 1: but yeah, like you can, you could get Golden State

992
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 1: inside and and that's why I think the Timberwolves ended

993
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: up in the first half yesterday in not really separating

994
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: themselves from Golden State, and they needed to do it

995
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: at the end. But in the first half Golden State

996
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,959
Speaker 1: went into the locker room with the lead. Warriors didn't

997
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: hit a field good, didn't hit a three point field

998
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: goal in the first half, and so so well, Minnesota's

999
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: out there, you know, shooting threes. But if you have

1000
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: that inside presence and Randall is clearly the two. Even

1001
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: if nas Reed has a great game or Rudy Gobert

1002
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: has his great game, Julius Randall is the two. Is

1003
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: the robin to to Anthony Edwards. And if you get

1004
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: both of those guys on an inside out scenario, look

1005
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: out like Minnesota. I mean they they're better than the Warriors.

1006
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 1: They and they're got They should win this series, no doubt.

1007
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: The only thing that can save Golden State because I

1008
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,399
Speaker 1: don't think I mean Conesota loses Game four. I think

1009
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: the game that Golden State needed to win was last night.

1010
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: Then the question is do they rush stuff back for

1011
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: Game five or not. But it's there for Minnesota. When

1012
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: you look at the other side of the bracket two

1013
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: and you see Oklahoma City struggling in the two games

1014
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: to put away the Nuggets and Denver's up to one.

1015
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be afraid of the Nuggets if I had

1016
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: to play I want to be afraid of Oklahoma City

1017
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: if I had to play them, I'd much rather be Minnesota,

1018
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: I think in those scenarios. So it's there for the

1019
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: Timberwolves to make it to the NBA Finals.

1020
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 2: Looks like it's there for a long series. On the

1021
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 2: other side, so beating the hell out of each other. Now,

1022
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 2: obviously you had that laugher forty three point win by

1023
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: Okase that took away some of those stressful minutes and

1024
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: Nikola Jokicic just falling out said forget it, I'm done

1025
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 2: with this game, which was one of the more comical

1026
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 2: things ever. Right officiated pretty hard early on, not drawing

1027
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 2: the file. So not often do you have a lot

1028
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: of complaining in a forty three point burial about foul calls.

1029
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 2: But certainly it's set the tone in tenor early on,

1030
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 2: or so the Nuggets seem to think. And then Jokic

1031
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 2: was finally done with it by the end of the

1032
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 2: third and tapped out.

1033
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: Well, that's the interesting thing. Who who do you think

1034
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: has played better in that Oklahoma City Denver series?

1035
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 2: Denver?

1036
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you say Oklahoma City beating by forty

1037
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: in game two. Yeah, Oklahoma City had a lead in

1038
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: game one that they probably should have put them away,

1039
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: lost in overtime in game three. But I think that

1040
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: if you would have said Oklahoma City, I would have

1041
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: just done it in reverse order. I would have said,

1042
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: gave it away in game one, you know, stunk it

1043
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: up in overtimeing game they score two points in over, Yeah,

1044
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: like you know, but you have an opportunity to win

1045
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: that game. They've had opportunities to win all three of

1046
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: the games that haven't done and have only come away

1047
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: with one win because they they won by forty that's

1048
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: a mix like Oklahoma City. I thought that they would

1049
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,479
Speaker 1: be better in this situation because I'm not a full

1050
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: believer in Denver. I don't think Denver is as great

1051
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: as people think that the Nuggets are. I think Jokic

1052
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: is great, and Aaron Gordon has been great with the

1053
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: three near the end in Game three of regulation with

1054
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 1: what about twenty five seconds left to tie at the putback,

1055
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: He's been there, He's made big shots the three in

1056
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: Game one to put him up, like Gordon's been great.

1057
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray is a great player. But I just for

1058
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: some reason, I'm just I'm not a believer in Denver,

1059
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: and they have an opportunity to prove me wrong. But

1060
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: I can't believe Oklahoma City is down to one in

1061
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: the series.

1062
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 2: Then you have m Michael Porter Junior finally has himself

1063
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 2: a game. Sure, we'd been invisible and you can see

1064
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 2: the frustration mounting. The thing I've I like about Denver

1065
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 2: and it's something Smith and I have talked about on

1066
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: our show at night seven to eleven Pacific. Check us

1067
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 2: out there Dan during the day with with Doug gott

1068
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 2: Leaven with Cavino and Rich Here. I'm there as well

1069
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 2: is the idea for Denver when everybody got it handwringing

1070
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 2: when they fired Michael Malone.

1071
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 1: We took it.

1072
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 2: Two relationships and the rest of the world. If you're

1073
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 2: done with something, you're done right. If every day you

1074
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 2: walk into your workplace and all it is is everything

1075
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 2: wrong with the workplace and you hate to be there,

1076
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 2: at some point you got to look in the mirror

1077
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 2: and just say, Okay, it's time to go find something else.

1078
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 2: But if you're in a relationship where when you start

1079
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 2: talking to people, all you're doing is negative, negative, negative, negative,

1080
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 2: it's probably not the relationship for you. It's probably not healthy. Likewise,

1081
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 2: if you're coaching, I mean, Michael Malone was going to

1082
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 2: the podium and talking about how he couldn't get guys

1083
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 2: to watch film whatever. He showed where they were at

1084
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 2: in their relationship and where that team was. So why

1085
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 2: would you ride that out necessarily even through the playoffs

1086
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 2: and give that up. So jokis being demonstrative on the

1087
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 2: sideline and them having some success, like I'm not gonna

1088
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: give it all to Adaman whatever, but there's part of

1089
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 2: me that just wants toy. They had the guts to

1090
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 2: fire a guy that everybody loved and say, you know what,

1091
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 2: we're better, you know, additioned by subtraction. Let's go forward

1092
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 2: with a and see how far we can make this

1093
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 2: thing run.

1094
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: What do you have to lose? I guess is there

1095
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: thinking in the two things that I that I like

1096
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: that I look back and like about the move was

1097
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 1: the reports were that Calvin Booth, the GM at the time,

1098
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: and Michael Malone, the head coach, were not seeing eye

1099
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: to eye and there was friction.

1100
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 2: Right the Russell Westbrook rotation and things like that.

1101
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so instead of siding with one side or the

1102
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: other by saying Michael Malone, you're gone, Cavin Booth, you're gone,

1103
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: they're like both you see you later. Like there's there's

1104
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 1: something to that to be like, we want this whole situation.

1105
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: We don't want anything lingering from maybe this person feeling

1106
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: that their guy stayed and this they just cleaned out.

1107
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: They said that we're done, and there's there's something admirable

1108
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: about that. But it also put the as you said,

1109
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: it put the onus on Nikolajokicic, and it put the

1110
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: onus on Russell Westbrook as well as a veteran. There

1111
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: was a point in that Game three, and we've seen

1112
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: it throughout the playoffs, but in that game three where

1113
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: the coaches are out huddling away and Russell Westbrook is

1114
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: talking and motivating as players, and everybody is feeding off

1115
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: off of that. So there is an added responsibility to

1116
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: Jokic and Russell Westbrook where if you don't get it done,

1117
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: it's not on your shoulders. It's not on Michael Malone's,

1118
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: it's not on Kelvin Booth's, it's not on the Kronkey family.

1119
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: It's on your shoulders. If you don't get it done done.

1120
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: That adds extra responsibility, and in a way it's it's

1121
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: made a genius move. I've seen some people say that,

1122
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: see the Nuggets were fine, you didn't need to fire

1123
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: Michael Malone. I don't believe that's the case. No, I

1124
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: think they don't believe that at all. I agree with

1125
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: what you guys are saying to clear it out and

1126
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: to be able to completely remove any of the tension

1127
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: there and put the pressure on the on the players who,

1128
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: by the way, seemingly can handle it. Jokic and Westbrook.

1129
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: Good for them.

1130
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always wondered behind the scenes if the Kronkeys

1131
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: looked at each other, going, you know, Yokich is that

1132
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 2: guy that if this goes badly, you could just go

1133
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 2: go ride in a sulky and just never come back. Sure,

1134
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 2: it's always always an angle with him at Dan Byron

1135
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 2: Fox where you find Dan, find me over at Swollendome Up.

1136
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 2: Next we take our turn. Wednesday is schedule release day.

1137
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna make some bold proclamations and predictions based on

1138
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 2: would be matchups for this twenty twenty five campaign. Let's

1139
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 2: do it next here on Fox. Hey, welcome back in

1140
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 2: It's Fox Sports Radios, Fox Sports Sunday, Mike Carbon alongside

1141
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 2: Dan Bayer having a blast with you here. Thanks for

1142
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 2: being with us, giving us a few minutes of your

1143
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 2: day as we roll through all this beautiful Mother's day

1144
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 2: get out and about enjoy the sunshine. You got a

1145
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 2: chance to do some great things, so take advantage of

1146
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 2: it as you were. One thing that we will most

1147
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 2: definitely get a lot of mileage out out of and

1148
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 2: the spreadsheets will start popping in earnest is later on

1149
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 2: this week the NFL schedule release.

1150
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 6: Dan.

1151
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 2: Now we know the opponents, right, We've had those grids

1152
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 2: for a month, but now it becomes the greatness of travel,

1153
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 2: separating out. My brother has already sent me multiple notes

1154
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 2: like figure out when the Raiders and the Ravens games

1155
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 2: are for the Bears, right, two road games, two opportunities,

1156
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 2: And I know across this country there are a lot

1157
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 2: of people doing the same things like, well, we know

1158
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna get a trip out to La not week one.

1159
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 2: Get to that in a second.

1160
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: Uh, but we.

1161
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 2: Know those trips are on the books. But we get

1162
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 2: into the travel, we get into the what if isms

1163
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: and sequencing that helps straight The schedule is a nebulous

1164
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 2: number until we start putting things in sequence to see

1165
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 2: how teams have to play.

1166
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, in fact, you probably you will know the

1167
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: opponents for teams, most of them for next year already.

1168
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: So a lot of this has been in place for

1169
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: a long time. But once the endings from the previous

1170
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: season are finalized, you figure out what first place teams

1171
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: you're playing from other divisions, if you're in the first,

1172
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: if you're in first place in your division, and so on.

1173
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: So we know the opponents, we just don't know the order.

1174
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: But we're gonna start to find out over these next

1175
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: couple of days before the full release on Wednesday on

1176
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: what some marquee games are going to be. We're gonna

1177
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: find out who the season opening kickoff matchup is. Fox

1178
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: will announce who their first primetime game that they're going

1179
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: to have. We're going to find out Monday and Tuesday

1180
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: schedule leaks International games will be released at that point.

1181
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: Something to look at. I think when fans get the schedule,

1182
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: they look at a couple of things. Number One, they

1183
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: look at when their team's bye week is, so if

1184
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: they have to do fall travel or do something in

1185
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: the fall, they'll schedule it during their NFL teams by.

1186
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: Week those pesky fall weddings, Yes week.

1187
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, but it is an interesting week. And it's

1188
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: also what I think Mike is the final, the final

1189
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: event before we get a true break from football, because

1190
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: we really haven't since the Super Bowl. After the Super Bowl,

1191
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: players are being released, players are maybe signing contracts before

1192
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: the league new league year starts, Combine takes place, then

1193
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: it's free agency, then we're into the draft, and now

1194
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: that the draft is done, we're waiting on the schedule.

1195
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: But once the schedule ends, then we can kind of

1196
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: exhale and we move away from the NFL for a while.

1197
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: But what I thought would be fun is to rekindle

1198
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: something that we do on this we've done on this

1199
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: program before, and that's trying to make some predictions for

1200
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: some of the games that we've got coming up, marquee

1201
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: games that I think that we can narrow down on

1202
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: who is going to be playing where. So we're going

1203
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: to try to do that as a crew here on

1204
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,959
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday. So go ahead, strike up the band

1205
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Isaac Looh and cron producer Shake, Chris Profettor along with

1206
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon and myself and trying to determine four games.

1207
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: These are the four matchups that we're going to put.

1208
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: Are you know what's on the line. We want to

1209
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: know who you think the Eagles will face in the

1210
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: kickoff special on the Thursday of Week one. We want

1211
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: to know number two, who the Lions will host on

1212
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day, and number three who the Cowboys will host

1213
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day. And then finally the one that's all

1214
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: over the map. Pick your week one Monday Night Football matchup.

1215
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Monday Night football matchup, not Sunday, but the Monday Night

1216
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: football matchup. Mike Harmon, let's start with the Eagles and

1217
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: that kickoff game will give you the honor for this

1218
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: one for the first pick. Who do you think the

1219
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: Eagles play on opening nights of the twenty twenty five

1220
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: NFL season.

1221
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna like I've got a common team

1222
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 2: that pops up a lot because they've become a darling.

1223
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go a little off the great. I'm

1224
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 2: gonna take the Rams, the raid expectations, and Matthew Stafford

1225
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 2: coming back for what might be the last Hurrah. Question

1226
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 2: mark all of that to say, hype around that squad

1227
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 2: just that closed. Why not get a rematch from that

1228
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 2: snow game.

1229
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's amazing because we have seen playoff rematches before.

1230
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: Chris Purfett over to you Eagles home opponent for the

1231
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: kickoff game to kick off the NFL season, as they're

1232
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions. I like where Mike's going.

1233
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 6: There is usually a lot of playoff repeats, sometimes even

1234
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl rematch. Sometimes in these kickoffs, I'm gonna

1235
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 6: go a little bit different. Is playoff related, but I

1236
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 6: feel like it's the playoff matchup that kind of got

1237
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 6: away from the NFL. And I know I'm biased on this,

1238
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 6: but I'm gonna go with the Detroit Lions Lions Eagles.

1239
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 6: Feels like that was an NFC championship that was almost

1240
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 6: completely penciled in until the Commanders really tore that down

1241
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 6: to the studs. But I think that'll be as if

1242
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 6: the Lions haven't had enough of tough schedule for this

1243
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 6: upcoming calendar as it is.

1244
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: Sure start out in Philadelphia. Shay, you got to pick

1245
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: for who the Eagles a face on opening Night.

1246
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna go a little different from what Harmon

1247
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 7: and Chris said here. I think I'm gonna do Eagles Commanders.

1248
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 7: I feel like that'd be a great matchup, big stars,

1249
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 7: big names everywhere, and it will turn into a great game.

1250
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 7: Hopefully no Tush push in this game, but we'll see.

1251
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 6: What Are you happy with that, Mike, Because I know

1252
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 6: we were talking during the break about divisional games and

1253
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 6: these kind of really big spots.

1254
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: That's that's tough.

1255
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 2: It's generally not my favorite, like when we get we

1256
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 2: thrust that out and Dan it alluded to the International Games.

1257
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 2: The fact that we're finding out that the Chargers are

1258
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 2: going to lose a home game to play the Chiefs

1259
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 2: in Brazil, to me is just foolhardy and just wrong

1260
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 2: headed in an approach to this. I know you want

1261
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 2: to go sell the Chiefs and everything else, but giving

1262
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 2: that game away likewise, you know, doing a divisional game

1263
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 2: here right off the jump, because that, look, the Commanders

1264
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 2: were the other team I alluded to before I went Rams. Right,

1265
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: He's like, we're going to get an awful lot of

1266
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 2: Commanders shoved down our throats this year after the feel

1267
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 2: good story that was twenty twenty four.

1268
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: I have got a stat that I'll give you after

1269
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Isaac's pick and my pick that I think could sway

1270
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: us if the NFL does go a certain way. Isaac,

1271
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: you want to throw your hat in on who the

1272
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Eagles will face in the home opener.

1273
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 4: I agree with Harmon. I say it's going to be

1274
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,919
Speaker 4: the Rams because that was the toughest game that Philadelphia

1275
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 4: had in the postseason last year on their way to

1276
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl.

1277
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with Profet and the Lions. I

1278
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: think we didn't see the matchup, so it will be new.

1279
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: I still think that there's pizazz to it, so I'm

1280
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: going to go with the Lions. Here's here's the thing,

1281
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: and this is not to go against Shay's but it

1282
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: may go to Shay's point. We've only seen in the

1283
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: kickoff game three times a divisional opponent or a divisional matchup.

1284
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 1: To start this season. It was Packers Bears in twenty

1285
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: nineteen because one hundredth anniversary of you know, they were

1286
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: celebrating one hundred years in the NFL. The other two

1287
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,479
Speaker 1: times were in the NFC East. So we have seen

1288
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: matchups with the Giants and Cowboys in twenty twelve, and

1289
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: then the Giants in then Washington Redskins in two thousand

1290
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: and eight. Those were the only two times where he

1291
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: had a divisional game, but they were both in the

1292
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: NFC East. I think we'll find out tomorrow who the

1293
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: opening kickoff game is. All Right, Lions Thanksgiving Day, I'm

1294
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna give Perfet the honor here.

1295
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I defer Chris on this.

1296
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna have first bites of this Thanksgiving Day turkey that.

1297
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 6: Happens to be the name of our preview podcast too.

1298
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 6: Usually this has become a divisional game on Thanksgiving. It's

1299
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 6: been a lot of Packers Bears. I think a few

1300
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 6: years ago the Vikings. Vikings feel like they're due up

1301
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 6: for it, but I would really like to see getting

1302
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 6: away from an NFC North Divisional game for Thanksgiving.

1303
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: I'd like the Lion. I think the Lions.

1304
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 6: I think the Steelers feel like a really you got

1305
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 6: the Cowboys on here, which is really fascinating as an option.

1306
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna take I'm gonna take Lions, Steelers.

1307
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 6: We haven't had a cross conference Lions Thanksgiving in a

1308
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 6: really long time.

1309
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: I believe. And not to change anybody else's guests, the

1310
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna be hosting their own Thanksgiving Jay, so

1311
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. They're

1312
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna be hosting their own which is our next question.

1313
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: All right, Harmon, you want to go next? Give you

1314
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: the honors?

1315
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? I like Chris's logic here because they had the

1316
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 2: nod in the wink that Aaron Rodgers just showing up

1317
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: for Pittsburgh right right, because then it takes out a

1318
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 2: whole other level. But I'll take it to the tradition.

1319
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 2: I'll take a Detroit and Green Bay. Okay, Thanksgiving Day games.

1320
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: Shay, who do you like the Lions facing on?

1321
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with Harmon there. I think

1322
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 7: it's gonna be Lions versus the Packers. I think that's

1323
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 7: something that people want. We'll see it'd be two years

1324
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,919
Speaker 7: in a row. Interest, No, it wasn't.

1325
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't a Thanksgiving against the Bear because.

1326
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 2: Which is why I vaulted, like because the Bears give

1327
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 2: it all the love fest that we've got for them

1328
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 2: across the media.

1329
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 6: Packers Packers played somewhere else on Thanksgiving because I know

1330
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 6: that was like a thing where it's like the Lions and.

1331
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: They played home against the Dolphins.

1332
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 6: That's what it was, because they went straight to another

1333
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 6: Thursday night.

1334
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: Game between them. Yes, all right, Isaac Longcron your Lions

1335
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: opponent pick.

1336
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 4: I once again agree with Harmon. I'm going Packers, all right,

1337
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go go into hell.

1338
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 1: Dan.

1339
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 2: Isaac's agreeing with me multiple times here.

1340
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I like Chris's point of the Steelers.

1341
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: You could also have a rematch of the Jerome Bettis

1342
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: coin flip game. Ooh, nice that you had from years back.

1343
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Vikings on this one, all right,

1344
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:52,919
Speaker 1: An NFC North good enough. We've saw great matchups with them.

1345
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna end the season. Remember they

1346
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: ended the season against each other. So I don't think

1347
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: they're going to do that two years in a row.

1348
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: So give me the Vikings on Thanksgiving Day. All right,

1349
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: let's go to the Cowboys Thanksgiving, the annually the highest

1350
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: rated TV game for an NFL regular season that you

1351
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: will see as the Cowboys home on Thanksgiving. I'm gonna

1352
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: start out. I'm gonna take first DIBs on this. I

1353
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: think you have the Chargers coming to town.

1354
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 2: I love it.

1355
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: I think it's such a such a it's a marquee matchup.

1356
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: You get some flash Harbaugh against the Cowboys. Give me

1357
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers, Isaac. Sorry, you're gonna be working on Thanksgiving Day.

1358
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: The Chargers is my Cowboys opponent.

1359
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 2: That's sneaky and I like it. But I'll take the

1360
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 2: chalk at the Commanders.

1361
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: Yes, what a showdown that will be if it is

1362
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: an NFC East matchup.

1363
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 6: Chris Purfett, I was gonna ask because I'm trying to

1364
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 6: rack my brain remembering how many NFC East matchups we've

1365
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 6: had for the Cowboys Thanksgiving game. I'm trying to remember

1366
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 6: off the top of my head, and I cannot have

1367
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 6: too many that come to mind.

1368
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I thought, gosh, you know the Giants have been there

1369
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: as of late, and we know the Raiders have been

1370
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: sprinkled in by the way. It's also been different since

1371
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: we've kind of moved away from the conference affiliations with

1372
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: the networks right where it would have to be one

1373
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 1: AFC team would be playing either the Lions or the Cowboys.

1374
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 1: We've moved away from that in recent years, so you've

1375
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: kind of had a heavy NFL or excuse me, a

1376
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: heavy NFC slate when talking about these matchups. You've had Packers, Lions,

1377
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: and Giants Cowboys playing against each other, so we've seen

1378
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: that before.

1379
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 6: I see that and like as enticing as I think

1380
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 6: Cowboys Packers and another Thanksgiving Day for I mean a

1381
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving Day for Green Bay would be what about that?

1382
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 6: Trend will go AFC, We'll go Cowboys Chiefs as you're thinking.

1383
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 6: Chiefs have said they like the holidays, and I think

1384
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 6: they'll be a big one.

1385
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: They wanted the Christmas Day game. All right, Shay, you're

1386
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: pick for the Cowboys.

1387
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 7: I'm agreeam with Harmon here. They're gonna shove the Commanders

1388
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 7: down our throats and that's definitely a game that they're

1389
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 7: gonna want. I think, so, I think it will. I

1390
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 7: wanted to say Eagles, but I feel like it would

1391
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 7: be a waste to do that, correct because it would

1392
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 7: just you know.

1393
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 1: There's such a Week fourteen game.

1394
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, right, exactly, and that's gonna get good views

1395
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 7: no matter what. And so in the Thanksgiving game, when

1396
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 7: you're already gonna get good viewership, I think they're gonna

1397
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 7: throw the Commanders.

1398
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys getting a game face the Raiders in

1399
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, Giants in twenty twenty two, Commanders in

1400
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and the Giants again last season. All right, Isaac,

1401
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: your last pick Cowboys.

1402
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 4: I completely agree with you, Buyer. I'm making my plans

1403
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 4: for a Chargers Cowboys Thanksgiving. Ironically, they met in Arlington

1404
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving picking up twenty seventeen, and the Chargers destroyed the

1405
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 4: Cowboys twenty eight to six. Philip Rivers threw for four

1406
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty four yards that day, completing twenty seven

1407
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 4: of thirty three passes.

1408
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: All right, Isaac, We're just gonna stick with you and

1409
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: we'll reverse it back. Week one. Your Monday night game.

1410
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 4: Matchup road team to Houston Texans home team, the Baltimore Ravens.

1411
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: Oh that would be spicy. That would be good. I

1412
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 1: get Shay you got a Monday night pick for the

1413
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: opener on Week one.

1414
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 7: I got Cowboys at Raiders in Vegas.

1415
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:17,919
Speaker 1: Nice pick. I think that would draw a lot of eyeballs.

1416
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 6: Patty Carroll's debut, yep, I might be picking one that

1417
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 6: might be Sunday Night Football, but I could see a

1418
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 6: lot of big matchups there, and I think the NFL's

1419
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 6: is going to come out. Haymaker, haymaker, Haymaker. I'm gonna

1420
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 6: take Ravens and Bills in Buffalo. I like the final

1421
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 6: season of high Mark Stadium. But a way to do it.

1422
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 6: Mike Harmon your Monday Night Week one matchup.

1423
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: Bears at Ravens some Ravens love. I had Ravens written

1424
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: down initially and I changed it. Bears Ravens would be good.

1425
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 2: Benjamon, you did too much Commanders though, so I can't

1426
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 2: do any.

1427
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 1: More of that. How about this last year Aaron Rodgers.

1428
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: It was the return because they crapped out two years

1429
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 1: against the Bills, so against the Niners. How about Sam

1430
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:07,839
Speaker 1: Darnold against his former team Vikings Seahawks Monday Night Football.

1431
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 1: They did it with Russell Wilson and returning where they

1432
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 1: did to Seattle could be a different spin on it.

1433
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: Vikings Seahawks. How about to open the season?

1434
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 2: I love it all right, get it down right, a

1435
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 2: good and then someone will win something. I don't know why.

1436
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 2: At Dan Firo on Fox where you find Dan, find

01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,599

1494
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 2: We've got a veritable Pope Mari. In terms of what

1495
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 2: we laid out of potential topics for today, there are

1496
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 2: thirty five stories. Right, there's lots of like little things.

1497
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, you just want to have that moment. Now,

1498
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 2: let's do a quick week in review. I was in

1499
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 2: Chicago as a new pope is installed in certainly some

1500
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 2: communication and rumors that he was a cub fan, and

1501
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 2: we had a text message text chain going through family

1502
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 2: and my cousin goes, yeah, he's a trader of Southsider

1503
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 2: blah blah blah like my dad. And then that was

1504
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 2: later debunked and he is a Sox fan, and here's

1505
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 2: images of him at the two thousand and five World Series.

1506
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 2: By all of that, it made for a very strange

1507
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 2: forty eight hours. I got a picture with some guy

1508
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 2: dressed like the Pope on Friday night. I just thought

1509
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 2: it was I will lean into the bit. But you

1510
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 2: want to talk about merchandising and opportunity there in Chicago.

1511
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: It's everywhere I was. My TikTok feed is still full

1512
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 1: of Pope stuff. My main takeaway and It took me

1513
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: days to realize this, and I'm going to bring it

1514
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 1: back to sports, not through baseball, but the conversation. I

1515
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: think a lot of us enjoyed the spectacle of what

1516
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: we saw on Thursday, the drama and then it hits

1517
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: home when you find out that the pope is now

1518
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: a Chicago native and what was discussed a bit. I

1519
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: know Cavino and Rich did it on Thursday and talked

1520
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: about the spectacle of just the situation with the crowd,

1521
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 1: the drama, the building, the announcement. It was a great show,

1522
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: and you and I have talked about Lebron's decision and

1523
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 1: how that TV show I think should be every free

1524
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: agent scenario because there was drama to it. But what

1525
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: I didn't recognize until yesterday until really thinking of what

1526
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 1: was also great about it, zero leaks. It did not

1527
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: leak out of the Vatican on who was going to

1528
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: be pope, So there was drama with it all until

1529
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: we got to the announcement and fresh off the NFL

1530
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,719
Speaker 1: Draft and coming up with the NBA draft, the old

1531
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 1: tipping picks argument. Yeah right. The reason why it was

1532
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: so great to see aside from the fan or the

1533
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 1: spectators and everybody coming out on the balcony and the

1534
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 1: curtains being moved, and the white smoke was because we

1535
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,439
Speaker 1: didn't know and we didn't know who it was going

1536
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: to be, and there was so much drama because there

1537
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: were no leaks. And that's what I think is my

1538
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway of how great it was, because in this

1539
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: day and age, everything is leaked and we didn't know

1540
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 1: what that was.

1541
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 2: Go over with a giant changeover and the Cardinals the

1542
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:55,560
Speaker 2: last couple of years. Now you start going into the

1543
01:17:56,240 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 2: math and the background. Fifty five to one shot if

1544
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 2: you in limited betting, so a pretty good return for

1545
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 2: you there for the Pope. Now Oklahoma and Texas, A

1546
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 2: and M. This was just a little note because I

1547
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 2: say why they're named SEC Softball co champions. After the

1548
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 2: title game was canceled due to weather. We couldn't reschedule

1549
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 2: it for another day, couldn't hold over one day.

1550
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: Isn't there a football facility where you could just throw

1551
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 1: a diamond, throw some basses out.

1552
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,640
Speaker 2: There, feel like you could have gotten gotten that in so.

1553
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: That at Athens, Georgia doesn't have that.

1554
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 2: You can't do it all right, And then we got

1555
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 2: George Pickens getting traded to the Cowboys. Mike Tomlin, as

1556
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,719
Speaker 2: you would expect, said, nah, I got nothing to add

1557
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 2: to any of the conversation. Omar Kahn saying, good deal,

1558
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 2: a lot of folks saying I wouldn't have touched this

1559
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 2: guy whatever, Like it's part of the reason he was temperamental,

1560
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 2: that the quarterbacks couldn't throw him a good football. It's

1561
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 2: one thing Dak Prescott can do. We can have a

1562
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 2: lot of complaints about Dak Prescott, but he might actually

1563
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 2: be able to bring out the best. To George Pickens,

1564
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 2: I say, if you're in go take your shot.

1565
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: I just can't believe this trade happened after the draft

1566
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: and thinking about it now, thinking about it from both sides.

1567
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: So if Pickens is a failure, the Cowboys are going

1568
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: to still be paying for it next year. So it's

1569
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 1: a debt that they owe. It's not gonna be off

1570
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: their boats. And if you're the Steelers, what have you gained.

1571
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 1: You've now just lost another weapon for Aaron Rodgers or

1572
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph and then you have to wait around for

1573
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: it to sure sounds It seems like a move for

1574
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 1: the future, but the timing of it to me was crazy.

1575
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,759
Speaker 2: Well, they say that Alan Lazard might show up in Pittsburgh, Anya,

1576
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 2: that'll fit you. Okay, so even the series today?

1577
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 1: Yes, I like the thunder to win. Here you go.

1578
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 2: He's Dan Byro on My Car and Hartman and Husky

1579
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 2: next here on Fox
