Matthew Stafford's your NFL MVP. In 96 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: a vote that was way closer than it should have been. 97 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: But hey, voters like the storyline. They want to anoint 98 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: the next Tom Brady. I'll have the guy we tried. 99 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: We couldn't with Mac Jones, we couldn't make it all. 100 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: But now yeah, with Drake Mays. So let's let's make 101 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: this vote closer. One first place vote was the difference 102 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: five points overall, right, three sixty six to three sixty one. 103 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: But Staffords're MVP, and he announces with his kids on 104 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: stage he is coming back for another year to the NFL. 105 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: Here's Stafford moments ago. You're newly minted NFLVP. 106 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 3: Can't wait for you to cheer me on next year 107 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 3: when we're out there kicking ass. 108 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: So I'll see you guys next year. Hopefully I'm not 109 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: at this event and we're getting ready for another game. 110 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: Is so far so I appreciate you guys, Thank you 111 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: very much.

Yeah, 113 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: a lady falling off the stage. Oh, come on, too 114 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: soon for that, he's too soon. That's too soon for 115 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: that too. How do you know what didn't happen there? 116 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: So well, I didn't see nobody fell off the stage. 117 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: I watched. I watched nobody fell off that you know 118 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: that I know of, Yes, nobody fell off. Look, of 119 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: course he's coming back, right, This is a chance to 120 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: make even more money because you're coming off an MVP season. 121 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Really coming into this year, I am sure the RAMS 122 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: philosophy was Okay, we got Stafford. This is going to 123 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: be it because you know, Sean McVay was done with 124 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the whole. Every year he kind of dances whether or 125 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: not he wants to get the you know, stay of 126 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: playing another year or not. He's trying to get more 127 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: money out of us, and Sean McVay very vehemently last 128 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: year was like, we're not going to do this every 129 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: We're not going to do this. In not going to 130 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: do this again. Thinking that I'm going to get a 131 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: year from Matthew Stafford. That's going to be like the 132 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: last couple, right, They'll start out slow, it'll end great. 133 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: Matthew is still a better quarterback for this team than 134 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: just about anybody I can go get. But now he 135 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: goes and wins MVP. So now everything changes for the 136 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: Rams because now it's going to be at least a 137 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: two year deal with tons of guaranteed money. I am 138 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: sure that's what it's going to be for to come 139 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: back and play again. Now he's not forty five, he's 140 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: thirty seven, so and he's coming off an MVP year, 141 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: So okay, you got to think he's got another year 142 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: or two and in him. But now instead of hey, 143 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this year to year, we got to 144 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: worry about, you know, inching along money wise. Now it's 145 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: got to be a ton of cash because you want 146 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: to negotiate for guy coming off with an NFL MVP. 147 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: His wife has already said in the past, the Rams 148 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: don't want to pay us. We're out. We love it here, 149 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: but we'll go. So I don't think it's gonna quite 150 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: get that acrimonious. But you know that thread is out there. 151 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tons of money. It's gonna be two years, 152 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: eighty million at least to bring Matthew Stafford back next year. Well, 153 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: which is what he just to add. He had a 154 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: two year, eighty four million dollar deal. He's on the 155 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: books right now for twenty twenty six. They had the 156 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: potential out but as it stands, sixteen million base signing 157 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: bonus of twelve million, a bit of restructuring that's four million, 158 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: and then the options run on down and those actually 159 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: go through twenty thirty as it currently stands, with a 160 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: reduction each year. As to what it is against the camp, 161 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: we know the cap went up twenty plus million dollars. 162 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: The estimate somewhere between three oh one and three oh 163 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: four for this coming year. But yeah, you'll you'll reup it. 164 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: You just reup snead and McVeigh. So I'm sure it's 165 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: all in a package deal. It's like, all right, we'll 166 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: get at least one or two runs with Stafford and 167 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: what this current construction of that offense is, which is 168 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: highly impressive, particularly if you have the red zone threat 169 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: that Devonte Adams is, all those tight ends, running thirteen personnel, 170 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: double headed backfield. You need more from Blake gorm maybe 171 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: as a you know, another option to Kien Williams. Maybe 172 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: you see a little more balanced there. But for Matthew Stafford, 173 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: the only question was the back injury, which we talked 174 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: about in the preseason. I'm like, I think this is 175 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: more a veteran. It just doesn't want to go to 176 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: work just yet. And sure enough, here we are with 177 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: the MVP season and less wear and tear. See he 178 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: tolig didn't have to show up when I need to 179 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: show up. Look at this well, But I mean that's 180 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: part of the frustration if you're a Sean McVay, not 181 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: just getting the contract signed, also the are you gonna 182 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: are you gonna practice today? And Matthew you think you'll 183 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: join us. I don't think I need practice now, practice practice. 184 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't think I need practice. Jimmy to mean he 185 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: can take those reps by the way, seven conference title 186 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: games in his career for Jimmy Garoppolo. How about that? 187 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: How many did he play in? Does that matter the 188 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: hell you're trying to ruin? How many did he play? 189 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: He's a wizard. He's instrumental to their success. Now AD 190 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: is a wizard. Now remember AD is a wizard. 191 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: You're a wizard. 192 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 4: Ad. 193 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: They actually won. I don't think he played, but you know, 194 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: it's just for Matthew Stafford. Yeah, it's you got to 195 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: run it back. The game's at so far next year, 196 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: so you at least have to to bring the band 197 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: back for one more run. But that's to me when 198 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: it says it changes everything for the Rams, because I'm 199 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: sure the Rams thought of, Okay, we're gonna go get 200 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: our next quarterback in the either in the draft this 201 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: year or more than likely they'll make a trade and 202 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: go get somebody that Sean McVay says, you know what, 203 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: I can make this guy work, right, Sean McVay, he's 204 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: been the best coach in the NFL for a long time. Now, 205 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: we'd go over the past five or six years. Other 206 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: guys are having tremendous runs as well. But McVeigh, you know, 207 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: they make the big swings, and it was it would 208 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: have been time for another. Okay, maybe it's Kyler Murray, 209 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: maybe it's somebody else, Maybe it's somebody we go, maybe 210 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: I could make two a work, you know here in 211 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: in in La. Whatever it was gonna be, you knew 212 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: there was gonna be a bold move for them that 213 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: would They're gonna get them younger at the position and 214 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: maybe not spending as much money. But now this changes that. 215 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: Not that you thought that Matthew Stafford wasn't coming back, 216 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: but I mean it now you still you'll have to 217 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: worry about, you know, putting the team around him. And 218 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: now unless Stafford says, hey, I'll take less, there's not 219 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: been one moment in his career where Matthew Stafford has said, hey, 220 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: I'll take less. Helen that way, Hey, no, no, you're 221 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: gonna pay me man. He wanted. He was holding out 222 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: just to kind of just just kind of just just 223 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: squeeze whatever cash you could get out of the rams. 224 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: The next last couple of years. This guy's going to 225 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: clear a billion dollars in NFL salary by the time 226 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: he's done playing. It's gonna be it's gonna be money man, 227 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna be It might be something like a two 228 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: year eighty million, but it's all guaranteed, or or two 229 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: year eighty five million, fifty million this year, but an 230 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: option for thirty five million for the year after. Like, 231 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of money. It's gonna be 232 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: more money than they've paid him to bring him back 233 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: next year. All of a sudden, this changes everything for 234 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: the Rams as they try to stay a super Bowl 235 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: caliber team for next year. The last two year contract 236 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: he signed eighty four million, eighty of it guaranteed. Yeah, 237 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: so you're looking at that, and the price of poker's 238 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: gone up, right, We've seen it just in the even 239 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: with a couple of the quarterbacks you mentioned as possible 240 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: reclamation projects. I always would advise Sean McVeigh in this regard, 241 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: don't fly too close to the sun. He's also had 242 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: some in game decisions that I would have liked to 243 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: ask in the moment. I'm sure he would have a 244 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: great answer thought out as to why and the rationale 245 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: and everything else. But that's fine. So you're all going 246 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: wax Wings, Flight of Vicary Iron Maiden. Okay, yeah, okay, 247 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: Little little gutter Twins in there. Do do do do? Do? 248 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: Do? 249 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: Do? 250 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: Do? Do you go? I could do that do you do? 251 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: Maybe once my kids are both off to college, I'll 252 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: just buy a guitar and and that'll be I spend 253 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: my days off a peace of mind. You're going off 254 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: of pie. But from Matthew Stafford. Perhaps some of the 255 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: detractors back off a little bit after the MVP award. Uh, 256 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: certainly a fantastic season, but can't get the get them 257 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: over game of inches here and there and everywhere, and 258 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a long off season. Yeah, it's great to say, hey, 259 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: let's run it back. Catch yourself because you don't curt. 260 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: You curse about and you're near curse about having to 261 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: be at this thing instead of participating in the game. 262 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: What do you can get that fourth down throwback? What 263 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: do you got Frostburg? You know what's not good for 264 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's back? What's not good flying to Australia. Yeah, 265 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: it's not good for anybody by the way. I mean 266 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: he'll be laying down. I gotta think one of the 267 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: those big jumbo jets. Yeah, we'll get to that story 268 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: coming up. Yeah, the NFL has decided. Yeah, we're going 269 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: to Australia. We're going to Rio.

As soon as we hear something 330 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: on Luca, we will let you know. We have not 331 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: seen him come out for warm ups yet for the 332 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: third quarter. Now today, NBA trade deadline day, Jannis Atatakunpo 333 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: is not dealt. He stays a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. Now. 334 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: Three big things to know for Janni's right, because he 335 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: was the big story going in the big story today 336 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: again the big stories about the guys that didn't get 337 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: dealt today. Number One, we told you last night he 338 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: was staying, Kay Joe, we just let you know. We 339 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: told you last night he was staying. Once the Warriors 340 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: made that deal for Jonathan Kaminga and they sent him 341 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: to Atlanta, he would have had to be the centerpiece 342 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: of any trade. When the Knicks, you knew they weren't 343 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: going to get involved because they had won eight in 344 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: a row. They're not gonna upset the Apple card for Giannis. 345 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: The Warriors, these are the two teams you expect to 346 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: make the biggest moves for him once they're out. The 347 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: Bucks aren't gonna say, well, yeah, we want Tyler Hero, 348 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: who again is offered to everybody at every deadline. It 349 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: feels like him and his bucket hat. You can get 350 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: Tyler Hero and that bucket hat. Every deadline you knew 351 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: he was gonna stay, and it's a better trade to 352 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: try to figure out in the off season when teams 353 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: can make better offers because they know this is how 354 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to build around Giannis. This is 355 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: what we can do, This is what we can offer 356 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: to trade. We know what worked for us at the 357 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: end of the year, what didn't work for us. For instance, 358 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: the next if they don't get to the finals, Okay, 359 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be all in on Yannis because it 360 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: hasn't worked, and Karl Anthony Towns will get dealt and 361 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: maybe it'll be Bridges as well. But they can make 362 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: the money work, so there will be something there. So 363 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: it's a much easier deal to do in the off 364 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: season once you got to the point where you knew 365 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: that these teams his preferred destinations weren't where he wanted 366 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: to go, right, so you knew that. The second thing 367 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: is this, he clearly needs our public relations advice because 368 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: he has just been embarrassing himself the last couple of 369 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 1: days with his passive, aggressive wishy watching us about leaving 370 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: and staying. A week ago, he was booing the fans 371 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: and calling out his teammates. The last two days, it's 372 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: been an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, where he 373 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: says I don't want to leave. I want to stay 374 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: here the rest of my career. If I ken, I 375 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: look at my driver's license, it says Milwaukee. My kids 376 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: were born here. All their IDs say Milwaukee. I don't 377 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: want to go anywhere. He've been through the dad in there. 378 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: My dad's buried here. And then today, after the trade 379 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: deadline passed, he put out a message on Instagram saying 380 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: quote legends don't chase, they attract, and then put the 381 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: LEO I'm not leaving scene from Wolf of Wall Street. Okay, 382 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: Wall eight. So all this stuff now about getting traded, Now, 383 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: this isn't it. You never wanted to go. Legends don't chase, 384 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: they attract. You were trying to track people here the 385 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: whole time. This is such a load of crap from him. 386 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: It's such a loader, and it's showing you that, yeah, 387 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: even the most calculated of guys, because he's way more 388 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: calculated you think he is. He's kind of like lebron Light. 389 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 1: This is just embarrassing. I would say, dude, either you 390 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: want to get traded, you got to say it, man, 391 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: all right, you want to try to be the good guy. 392 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: I understand but then don't come back over the top 393 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: with oh no, I never wanted to go. I just 394 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: wanted to stay. Why do you think nobody's offering stuff 395 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: for you? Or the offers weren't out there for the 396 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks to say, because nobody knows what you really want. 397 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: They get the Oh, he's booing his fans, he's calling 398 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: out his teammates, he wants out. Oh wait, now he 399 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: says he doesn't want to leave, and he's talking about 400 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: his family and everything else in Wisconsin and now today, Oh, 401 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: legends don't chase, they attract. Do you really want to 402 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: go or not? I don't know. I don't know. I'm 403 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: sure that was part of why that the offers for 404 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: Giannis weren't quite there, because teams, if I'm giving up something, 405 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: I want to know you're investor. You want to come here? 406 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: Do you really want to We don't want to depressed 407 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: Giannis to come here. If you're really not not that 408 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: excited about getting traded, we're gonna guess what, We're not 409 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: going to go crazy to trade for you. So he 410 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: needs he needs my advice to just say, dude, you 411 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: got to pick a lane. Man. You gotta either say 412 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: you want out or you want to stay. But this 413 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: whole wishy washiness, especially when you come back over the 414 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: top with oh, yoh, no I'm staying I'm attractive. No, no, dude, 415 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: that's the worst strategy you could possibly have. Grow up 416 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: and own it. If you want out, own it. Don't 417 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: try to do this. Oh yeah, not you're the passive 418 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: aggressiveness is really hell that. No, this is where you 419 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: got to pick a lane. If you want out, you 420 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: say it, own it, be a man, and own the 421 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: direction of your career. If you want to stay now, 422 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: then say I'm not going anywhere. I'm here the rest 423 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: of my career. I'm working on a contract extension. I'm 424 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: staying the rest of my career. But you got to 425 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: pick a lane because the rest is just embarrassing. Yeah. 426 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 1: Because you also got clowned by Doc rivers today if 427 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: you're sham Sharania, Yeah, and that's tough. When you get 428 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: clowned by DOC, that's tough, man, right, So you had 429 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: that extra layer to the doc. Doc is like the 430 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: Jets record, like, oh, you know, he wins three for 431 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: every fourteen he loses, you know, like that's done. Doc, 432 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: who's taking a beating nationally locally here in la for 433 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: many fails and you got what is currently going on 434 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: there in Milwaukee and whatever the iteration is and how 435 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: this season finishes out. But you know, Yannis tried to 436 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: play invisible hand, got Lillard there, got Budenholdzer bounced, and 437 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: now you have well you reput so and so now 438 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: it's the all right, well, what are you going to 439 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: be able to attract and bring there that's going to 440 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: fit under the salary cap because you don't have a 441 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: lot of discernible assets to shuffle off. So now it 442 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: becomes the all right, how long are some of these 443 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: other guys off the books? And maybe Sham's got some 444 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: bad info along the way and ran with some some 445 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: reporting as to how contentious things were, because, as we 446 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: talked about, both Yannis and the Bucks, neither wants to 447 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: be the bad guy, Like neither one wants to be 448 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: the villain in his story. You know, it's one thing 449 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: to say we both shook hands and part of his friends, 450 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: but that doesn't look like we're getting well the thing. 451 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: But I get that. But then, but don't hurt yourself 452 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: in the process, like if you, hey, we knew you 453 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: wanted to get traded and the Bucks were looking into 454 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. Don't come back at the end. 455 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: And I said, oh, I know, I never wanted to 456 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: get traded. I'm attracting not no, because but this is 457 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: why you need woes back and not a half NBA 458 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: inside it, Like shefter on the beat because all you 459 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: got is Shd's he's running on a post. But that's 460 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: the thing, like your local election when nobody else files. 461 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: On the other side, Let's have a real confidence because 462 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: we talked about attracting people to championship, and this is 463 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: what he wants to Okay, this is where Yannis, we 464 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: got to have a real conversation about where you are 465 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: in your career right now. Because we heard reports come 466 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: out following the deadline that potentially a team offered four 467 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: first round picks. The Warriors offered four first round picks. 468 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: The Bucks said, no, Okay, I got that right, the Bucks, 469 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna trade. You can't give me the whole allure 470 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: of all the first round picks. Yeah, if you're trading 471 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: a guy who's a second tier star, Okay, I get 472 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: you want the front Like I'm excited for the Clippers. 473 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: They got two first round picks. For Zubots. They made 474 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: the trade today, right, they got Matthin two first ar Okay, great, 475 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: that's awesome, But also the four picks if he gets 476 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: traded there and they're any good at all unless you 477 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: got a voodoo doll that's taking him off the court 478 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, and those become great 479 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: first picks. Yeah, it's more just the value of four 480 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: first round picks, but that's not nearly enough. Then we 481 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: heard that potentially one team that was going out to 482 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: get him was a little concerned that if he came 483 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: in and wasn't the one on the team, he would 484 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: have a tough time. Now clear that's going to be 485 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: the Knicks because you're not coming and being the biggest 486 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: star than Jayleen Brunson. Uh, well, I would think it 487 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: would have to be the Knicks simply because Okay, the 488 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: team's on his list that he had. Were they're really 489 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: going to go to? The Wolves? Probably not the Warriors. 490 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: Are you really worried about assimilating with Steph Curry? Steph 491 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: is the superstar that everybody wants to play with. He 492 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: welcome Kevin Durant with open arms. He is more than 493 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: okay with sharing the spotlight so you know it's not 494 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: it's you know it's not the Warriors. I gotta think 495 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: it was the Knicks because you're coming in. It's Jalen 496 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: Brunson's team. Man, Like, you're coming in and that's great, 497 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: you're the one A. But it's Jalen Brunson's team. So 498 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: I would think that potentially it was the Knicks just 499 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: by playing NBA detective. But it doesn't matter because now 500 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: here's a team that was concerned about you and how 501 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: you would fit in if they traded for you. You're a 502 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: thirty one year old superstar. You are coming off an injury, 503 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: You've been hurt a little bit. Your best days are 504 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: behind you. How many more years of your prime do 505 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: you have left until you slow down? Three? Maybe to 506 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: you're thirty four to thirty five. Let's give him the 507 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt, stays in shape, Let's give him 508 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: four more years. This is not the Lakers trading for Luca, 509 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: where you're getting a superstar at twenty five years old. 510 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: You had a decade plus of Hey man, even if 511 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: Luca loses a half step, it doesn't matter. You didn't 512 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: have a step to begin with. Your You think your 513 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: status is in the NBA is much different than the 514 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: value the league is putting on you. Right, This is 515 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: one of those cases where the league is telling you 516 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: this is your value. Right. You always learn what a 517 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: player's value is when you see what they wind up 518 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: getting traded for. Right, this is what the league is 519 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: telling you this guy's value is because this is this 520 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: is where you're at. Right, Like, I remember when Mets 521 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: fans were so upset that Jeff McNeil got traded to 522 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: the A's. I'm like, he got traded to the A's 523 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: for a seventeen year old kid. This is how he 524 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: was valued around Major League Baseball. So stop with oh 525 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: my goodness, former batting champion, yeah five years ago, he's 526 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: not that plan. He was right, but he wasn't champ. 527 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: If Jannis was Lebron in his prime, if Jannis was 528 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: Luca Flanis anything, the offers would be there and the 529 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: Bucks would have pulled the trigger, prit But when the 530 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: when the best offer comes in was allegedly this heat 531 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: package that was centered around Tyler Hero and Haimi Hakez 532 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: and a few and a couple of first round picks, 533 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: Like get that, this is Giannis's value. This is your 534 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: value around the league? You think it's way higher than 535 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: it is. Right when I say the Knicks can make 536 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: the trade in the off season, and it's Karl Anthony Towns, 537 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: not because we're out, they're trading at all star. Karl 538 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: Anthony Town's got to make the money work, and he's 539 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: the guy that they would trade out because You're gonna 540 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: come in and really take up a lot of his 541 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: positional responsibility. So of course Karl Anthony Towns is gonna 542 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: get traded for you. That's where it's going, right. Think 543 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: about that, like, you're not the number one big star 544 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: in the NBA that you were right talent wise, Yeah, 545 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: I mean, hey, what we've seen from you, But this 546 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: is the back half of your career. You are Shaquille 547 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: O'Neill leaving the Lakers for the Miami Heat. Right where 548 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 1: I gotta go and I gotta share things with Dwayne Wade. Right, 549 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: what was the market for Shaquille O'Neil after Yeah, Caron 550 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: Butler lamar Odom it was an okay trade, You're talking 551 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: about trading for a future Hall of Famer. They went 552 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: and won the NBA championship. So just get that. While 553 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: the offers probably weren't there. And you think you're this 554 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: big pied piper and you're gonna tract all these people. 555 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 1: If you couldn't attract people to Milwaukee before, now you're not. 556 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: The only person who attracted Milwaukee was Damian Lillard. And 557 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: he couldn't wait to get out, right, He's he's still injured, 558 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: and he signed with Portan went back. He went. He 559 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: did't even wait till after was over. You're not attracting anybody. 560 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: You gotta go someplace else if you want to go 561 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: win again, and you gotta be okay with whatever that 562 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: status is. If you're walking in and you're not the 563 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: number one star of the team, you gotta be okay 564 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: with that. You gotta get that. This is where the 565 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: NBA sees your value. And teams that want to win 566 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: championships are not gonna bring you in to say you're 567 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: gonna be our number one. It's gonna be we want 568 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: you to fit in with what we have. Right if 569 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: if he was gonna go to the Pacers, they would say, yeah, 570 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: I want you to fit in with Haliburton. When he 571 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: comes back, he's our MVP. Okay, that's how that's the 572 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: conversation you gotta have with Giannis when it's like you 573 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: want to pick your next destination, you gotta get that 574 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: if you're gonna win a championship, you're gonna join a 575 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: team where you're the new guy, and while you're a 576 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: big star, they already have a big star or two 577 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: and you have to figure your way out of it. Well, 578 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: but that's the other side of it is, if you're 579 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: trying to attract people to Milwaukee, you have to recognize 580 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: you've got to roll out the red garpet and be 581 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: prepared to be that second guy. Right, so while he 582 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: still has some of that boyish exuberants and whatever else 583 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: there's been in the league thirteen fourteen years, at this point, 584 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: we've talked about how cagey some of this stuff is, 585 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: and you try to filter out the noise between Shams 586 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: reporting and everything else. Again name when we're trying to 587 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: talk about the veracity of claims and your name is 588 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: Shams Chams, it's problematic. But we get into the idea 589 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: of you got a guy with two more years on 590 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: his deal plus the back end of this season, and 591 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: then he's looking to re up. If you're a team 592 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: that's acquiring him. Are you that close to a title? 593 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: Because that's how you have to look at it, because 594 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: otherwise he's going to be what a fifty five million 595 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: dollar guide in two years from now, assuming he's still 596 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: moderately healthy and ready to play. That's just the cost 597 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: of poker for a guy who's still got decent skills 598 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: as a big man. And is anybody signing up for 599 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: that again, if you've got to ransom everything? Yeah, answer, no, yeah, 600 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: all right. It's not quite as stark as the Lebron 601 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: conversations we've been having for the last couple of weeks 602 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: of Hey, recognize the Wizards are really the only people 603 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: that might be knocking on the door. You got more 604 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: marketability than that. But to make the money work and 605 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: to make Milwaukee not be the ultimate villain like Nico Harrison, 606 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: you need something better. Tyler. Hero is great. You make 607 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: fun of the bucket hat he's a twenty point a 608 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: night scorer when he actually can play. You've been hurt 609 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: a lot too, and Hawks is a great college story. 610 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: He's just a guy. Look, the league is telling you 611 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: this is what we this is the market for Giannis, 612 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: this is what we're willing to pay and you're either 613 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: okay with it or you're not, and you want to stay, 614 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: but own what you want to do, own, own your destination, 615 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: but get that this is the reality for you, so 616 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: you don't walk into this offseason thinking teams are gonna 617 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: give up everything to go get me because they're not well. 618 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: We talked about it a lot with it's certainly in 619 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: the NFL for years where you have receivers to recognize, 620 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: you know what, You're no longer the one right, You're 621 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: no longer the boundary X, I'm gonna go get it. 622 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: You're down a step. Look at Stefon Diggs. Nice year 623 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: for New England this year, but he's not that Stefan Diggs. 624 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: He's not that Minnesota guy that we watched a couple 625 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: of years ago. Good receiver. We watched a lot of 626 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: guys that are now in the Hall of Fame struggle 627 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: with that at the end of their runs, like no, no, no, 628 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm still a number one. Look at how many balls 629 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: I got. It's like, yeah, bad team, bad games, quick outs, whatever, 630 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: You're not winning down field for us anymore. Giannis is 631 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: gonna hit that point pretty soon. It's a big guy 632 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: and hopefully takes care of the body and plays for 633 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: a long time. But you also have to read the 634 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: writing on the wall and recognize that at some point 635 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: the Marquee letters changed their font. Exit out about a 636 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: Fresco exit.

About that, right, I don't 741 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: like either of these stories, Okay, for very good reasons, 742 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: and I'm having the back of every NFL fan with this. 743 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: Number one is that, look, these should be celebrating other countries, 744 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: but not for us. Right. Oh, we're gonna Now, we're 745 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: gonna sending out good teams to go play. Usually we'd 746 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: send out like the Bengals and the Jets. No, no, no, 747 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: we're sending good teams now. Number one, I hate it 748 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective because you have to get up early, 749 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: way early to be able to check your lineup and 750 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: make sure because guys that go overseas injuries aren't what 751 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: the same guy could be questionable and then wind up 752 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: not playing in the next day. Jalen Warrenia where everything 753 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: could try to kill you, that's true. Yeah, yeah, I 754 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: mean you don't even you gotta factor in all sorts 755 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: of other things into your algorithm. I'm sorry, Matt Staff 756 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: had got eaten by any mo. You're gonna have to 757 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 1: go at Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback now. Sorry, I mean 758 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: they take him to that zoo. I mean they had 759 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: Robert Irwin running around with a snake today. Davante Adams 760 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: went to a taco bell but the meet in it 761 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: wasn't what you thought it was. He's gonna miss a game. 762 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: I don't because the fantasy perspective, guys at cross overseas 763 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: go play. Sometimes they don't, and I hate that, right, 764 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: I hate having to do it, especially on the West Coast. 765 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: We got to get up early. But that's my real 766 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: thing of it is that to have to get up 767 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: at six o'clock in the morning on a Sunday, Right, 768 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: You're talking about half the country having to get up 769 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: at six o'clock in the morning. I'm not gonna do 770 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: it unless the Jets are playing and I get a 771 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: great night's sleep the night before. Still, I'm gonna probably 772 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: wake up at seven thirty and watch the game from 773 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: the beginning and go through it on on TVO. But like, 774 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: it's just too early to have games like we're not 775 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: overserved with the NFL on a Sunday. We're not overserved. 776 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: We are on an NFL Sunday, we get games from 777 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: ten o'clock in the morning, one o'clock in the afternoon, 778 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: all the way through until nine ten o'clock at night. Right, 779 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: this is when we get it. We are not overserved. 780 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: If you want to change it and make the game 781 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: Saturday and have put the game in a prime that 782 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: we're playing Saturday night, whatever, it is, okay, But I 783 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: just I really, I don't think any NFL fan has 784 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: the desire to every week wake up in the morning 785 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: and watch international game. I get that the NFL has said, hey, 786 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: we've kind of maxed out here in the States. So 787 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: the only way to really grow the game, to make 788 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: it look like I'm doing a good job as commissioner, 789 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,399 Speaker 1: is to continue to put these games overseas. It gets 790 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: us more money, it gets the owners more money. But 791 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: for the fans, this is not a win for any 792 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: of us. This is not a win for any of us. 793 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll get up and watch that game, this 794 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: one game. Then I'm gonna watch the games at one. 795 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna watch the games at four. That nobody's 796 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, the curiosity will be how they schedule 797 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 1: that first week as to whether it becomes a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 798 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: Saturday game. Well whatever it is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. What 799 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: I mean when you talk about a nineteen hour time 800 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: different belong to Australia. I mean there's there's there's a 801 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: lot you can do there, but you add the Cowboys 802 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: being exported and like the old rule of thumb applies, 803 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: you don't like it, don't watch. It's when complete people 804 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: complain about the I gotta have all these streaming services 805 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: like they don't. You don't, you really don't. You can 806 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: watch red Zone Channel as part of an NFL Plus 807 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: baggage that costs you a hundred bucks for the year. 808 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: Do you get to watch full games? No, not until 809 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: they're done and then you can watch them all you want. 810 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: But there's plenty of ways to consume. And once upon 811 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,839 Speaker 1: a time, remember you only got two games and then 812 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: Monday night football. But but now now we're paying for 813 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: a lot more. Now we're paying you decide which which 814 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: package you want or don't. But this is also the 815 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: league saying we don't care about you. We don't care 816 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: about you in the United States.
