1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody, Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday Arators,

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Jason Martin. We are broadcasting live from the Fox Sports

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: Radio studios. A lot to talk about a lot of football,

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: Mica Cowboys. We'll do our NFC west Over under previews

5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: later on in the show. Actually want to leave with

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: a little basketball. We'll get to that in just one moment.

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: But Jason Martin, how you doing, buddy?

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: What's new?

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 3: Nothing new, man, Nothing new, No time for anything new

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: right now in life. So that's fine. Though. There was

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: some good stuff on Saturday, some news, some things that

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: were happening at Summer Slam tonight and tomorrow night. So

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 3: just it's just one of those kind of weekends, man,

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: the last couple before football is fully back, at which

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: point our lives just completely are taken over.

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what you mentioned stuff going on today.

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: We should mention we'll talk a little bit of the

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: game at Bristol Motor Speedway MLB here in a few minutes,

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: even though game has officially been washed out because of weather.

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: Still think there's some stuff to take away from that.

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: But I actually we don't do this often in August

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: because it's football, football, football, But to me, the biggest

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: story of the day is in the NBA, and it's

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: not really the story, but the story behind the story.

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: So the story I'm sure everybody has heard throughout the day,

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Desager just told you big news in the NBA. Luka

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: donc three year, one one hundred and sixty five million

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: dollars deal, three hundred and sixty three year, one hundred

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollar extension with the Los Angeles Lakers.

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: This was, of course the story since the day he

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: got traded. Would he sign the extension? We assume he

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: signs the extension and it comes obviously in a week.

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Whereas a lot of positive pr for Luca, you know, Jamart,

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you still have your subscription of

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: Men's Health, but Luca was blastered all over that bad boy,

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, trimmed down, looking good and really just a

37
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: lot of excitement about Luca and a lot of excitement

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: about this extension. They obviously had a press conference today.

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Just about every single Los Angeles Lakers showed up, with

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: the notable exception of really two people, but really one

41
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: Lebron James obviously, the one being Bronni. Lebron James nowhere

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: to be found. So the story of the day is

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: that Luca signs the extension one certainly, j Mart, if

44
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: you have any opinions on that.

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 2: But to me, what stood.

46
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: Out about this story was the fact that Marcus Smart,

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: who just signed with the Lakers within the last few weeks,

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: DeAndre and who just became a Laker within the last

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: few weeks, a new Theoo who was just drafted by

50
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers in late June, all managed to get to

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: this press conference.

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: Lebron James not there.

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: What do you make of Not only this it's Jay Mart,

54
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: but a busy week for Lebron in the world of

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: passive aggressiveness, posted some workout pictures in what appeared to

56
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: be the Lakers flit or the Clippers facility, excuse me,

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: and then today skipping the Luka Doncic press conference. You know,

58
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: I got a lot of takes, but I want to

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: hear yours first.

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: So there's one person that if he doesn't show up,

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: he becomes the story one nobody else. Marcus Smart doesn't

62
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: show up, nobody's gonna care. DeAndre Aiden doesn't show up,

63
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: nobody's gonna care. Nobody's even gonna notice, except for one guy.

64
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: And look, I've heard people close to his circle for

65
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: years say that Lebron James does nothing accidentally. He does

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: nothing just condflippantly or hesitantly. There's always a plan, there's

67
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: always something behind it. That's why when you see the

68
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: Clippers thing on that workout shot, you can kind of

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: roll your eyes on it, because clearly there was something

70
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: there because he would have known they would have seen

71
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: it before they posted it. All those kinds of things.

72
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: This right here just reeks of I still want to

73
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: be the story, but this team is not mine anymore.

74
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: And I know that, and so I still want you

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: to talk about me, which is what we're doing. Because

76
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: to your point, and I said this to you earlier

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: when he signed, I said, I'm not really interested in this,

78
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: like not in terms of I mean, I understand it's

79
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: a big signing, but there's not really a take there.

80
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: It's like, well, yeah, of course the Lakers are gonna

81
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: want to sign him, and it's good for Luca that

82
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: they've gotten this done. It's still kind of amazing that

83
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: he ended up in LA However, that all went down

84
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: back in February and whatever. But ultimately the reason why

85
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: this becomes a topic is because the guy that just

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: can't get out of the way. I'm not even saying

87
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: out of his own way out of the way, Like

88
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: he can't just go away, he can't just be absent.

89
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 3: All you got to do is show up to that

90
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: thing and support your team, support the organization, and support

91
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: the star. But you can't do that. And I'm sorry,

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: Like I'm not going to give him the benefit of

93
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: the doubt here, Like maybe we find out something, some

94
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: reason why he wasn't there.

95
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: Both pictures on Instagram.

96
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he wasn't at Yeah, I was gonna say

97
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't at a funeral, he wasn't at a birth

98
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: of christening anything like that. He was golfing today. That

99
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: was very evident on his social media feed throughout the day.

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah so again, like he didn't even try to hide it.

101
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: So I just look at this and I'm just like,

102
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: you sent this to me in a text message a

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: couple of days ago, and I'm just to this point too, man,

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: dude can't retire soon enough, Like we need to be

105
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: able to move on from this. We need to be

106
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: able to move on from a guy who can't just

107
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: go be a great basketball player. He has to be

108
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: front and center all the time, like we give Aaron

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: Rodgers a ton of crap. Lebron James is still playing

110
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: at a higher level obviously than Aaron Rodgers, but we

111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: need to start looking similarly because both of them are

112
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 3: out for themselves. They just out they are, and I

113
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 3: don't know if that was always the case for Lebron James.

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: I'm not going to try to get into his head

115
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: or his heart, but I am going to say that

116
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: right now he comes across as incredibly selfish and if

117
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: at all possible, all this stuff has been accidental, that

118
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: he's also tone deaf, and he needs to fire anybody

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: that is anywhere near his representation because they're leading him

120
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: down the wrong pathway. It's just it's a terrible look,

121
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: and it's just kind of like before, like I had

122
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: not seen it, and you sent a text to us

123
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: earlier today with the shot and it says one person

124
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: was missing. I mean before I even got to that

125
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 3: part of the sentence, I already knew it was like,

126
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 3: the only reason you're sending me this is because Lebron's

127
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: not there. I knew what the story was before I

128
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 3: even read your comment about it, and before I even

129
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 3: looked at the photo. It's just like, here's a photo

130
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: of Lucas signing his deal guests, who's oh, yeah, okay,

131
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 3: I know what we're doing here, And then it becomes

132
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: a topic and it's just that, right there is terrible

133
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: for the NBA, like what are we doing here? And

134
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: what is Lebron James doing here? Do we really want

135
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: to go out like this? Do we want to go

136
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: out this petty because it seems like we do well.

137
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: And I think there's two things that stand out to me.

138
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: Is one, first of all, listen again, the Lebron sicophants

139
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: that will defend him at all costs will say, you know,

140
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: he has no obligation to be there. Okay, okay, we

141
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: get it. But the counter that I would have would

142
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: be it's it comes in the week, comes within what

143
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: thirty six hours of the pictures of him working out

144
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: at the Clippers facility, which is a very desperate cry

145
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: for attention from Lebron. We know it is. So it's

146
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: one thing if oh he just doesn't show up. But two,

147
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: it's this latest thing that makes it so obvious that

148
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be a Laker anymore. And the

149
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: only reason he doesn't want to be a Laker anymore,

150
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: is because he is not the center of attention and

151
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: he is not getting what he wants all the time.

152
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting even just reading you know,

153
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: some of the stuff from today. You know, the person

154
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: who pushed for Marcus Smart, the person who pushed for

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayten, it wasn't Lebron James, it was Luka Doncic.

156
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: And so that to me is you know why this

157
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: becomes interesting is because it's just so obvious that for

158
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: the first time, since he's probably thirteen fourteen years old,

159
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: every not only does everything not revolve around him, but

160
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't get what he wants all the time.

161
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: How many times?

162
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: How many times in the last fifteen I don't know

163
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: how long you've been doing the national radio show, j Mark,

164
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: but since I started about eight nine years ago, how

165
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: many times have we talked about different scenarios where a

166
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: trade happens, or a draft pick is traded, or this happens,

167
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: all because Lebron wants it, whether it's in Cleveland, whether

168
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: it's in Los Angeles, certainly before that, in Miami, certainly

169
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: before that. The first time in Cleveland, and for the

170
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: first time in his life. He is not that decisions

171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: aren't being made based on him, and I'll wrap on

172
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: this and throw it back to you. The thing that

173
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: remains frustrating to me is, Listen, he is still a

174
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: very good basketball player. He can still help winning teams.

175
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: But here is my issue. If you know that the

176
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: Lakers are going to make decisions based on Luca, if

177
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: you know that your time there is ultimately running up,

178
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: and if you believe you have something left in the

179
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: tank and the Lakers don't appreciate you, guess.

180
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: What, you didn't have to opt.

181
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: In to this contract. Okay, And I understand fifty three

182
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: million dollars is a lot of money, and I'm not

183
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: here to say that that you know he should have

184
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: turned down fifty three million, and it's said, no, no, no. Listen,

185
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: we all, if presented with that situation, probably opt into

186
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: the fifty three million. But when you opt into the

187
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: fifty three million, you then are not allowed to complain

188
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: about decisions that get made because you are opting into

189
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: a situation where you know exactly what's at stake, exactly

190
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: what's possible, exactly what's not And if you either didn't

191
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: like the direction of the franchise, don't like the acquisitions

192
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: that are being made, don't like the front office, whatever

193
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: it is that you're upset about. You didn't have to

194
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: be part of this, but once you chose to be

195
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: part of it. I don't want to see the whining

196
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: and I don't want to see the passive aggressiveness because

197
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: it's exhausting and it could have been avoided if you

198
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: really didn't want to be there.

199
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: It's all spie, it's all built on spiite. It's all

200
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: very childish and immature at this point for somebody who

201
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: has done a lot of great things in the league

202
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 3: and at times has been a great leader, obviously at

203
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: stages throughout his career, that it's going to end this way?

204
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: Do you think this is his last year? Basically, I

205
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 3: think he's going to play another year.

206
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: So I'll just I'll be quick. I'll throw it back

207
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: to you.

208
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Based on his behavior, he seems to think he has

209
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: a lot left in the tank, right, So I don't

210
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: think this is his last year. I think it's his

211
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: last year with the Lakers. Obviously, I don't think it's

212
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: his last year. But can I just say I'm not

213
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: one thing because I don't think this is his last year.

214
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: I also don't actually know what the market would be

215
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: right for him.

216
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Hey, it's just no, that's it, Like I

217
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: wasn't gonna cut you off.

218
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: I just that's kind of where I am. I don't know,

219
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: like who wants to inherit this. I mean, yeah, you'll

220
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: sell some tickets because it's Lebron James, and people that

221
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: haven't gotten a chance to see him, you know, they'll

222
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: they'll be able to go and see him because it's

223
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 3: one of those bucket list things, like you want to

224
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: say that you saw Lebron James in person. I feel

225
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: like that there is something behind that, But you're not

226
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 3: bringing him in to win a championship at this point.

227
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: I just I don't think so the situation would know.

228
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 3: And when you think about this Lakers situation, what you're

229
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: talking about, you don't opt in, and once you do,

230
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: you just kind of at that point you need to

231
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: stay quiet because you made the choice. I don't know

232
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: what led him to do it, unless he thought, all right,

233
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: once I do this, then it's all going to come

234
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: back to being about me. But I think that when

235
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: he did it, he already knew that the page had

236
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: turned that Luca was the one that they were looking

237
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: to build around long term, as anybody should at this point, Like,

238
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: he has to admit privately, even with as giant an

239
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 3: ego as he has, he has to be able to

240
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: admit and to admit, Yeah, building around me is probably

241
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 3: not the best thing long term. But I don't know

242
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 3: that he cares about long term. He cares about Lebron

243
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 3: James in twenty twenty five. That's it. I don't even

244
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: know if he cares about Lebron James in twenty twenty six.

245
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: Yet he wants what he wants right now, and when

246
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: his mood changes, then he'll change around that and you

247
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: can do something for him again differently next year. And

248
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: the Lakers have decided no, because all we've done is

249
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: cater around you left and right. And what is it done.

250
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: It's gotten us a bubble championship that some people kind

251
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: of give a side eye to and put an ass

252
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: risk next to. Outside of that, it's gotten this pretty

253
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: much Jack Squad like. Ultimately, what has the Lebron James

254
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: experiment proved in terms of the Lakers' franchise. I don't

255
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: know that it's done much of anything. It certainly puts

256
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: some more eyeballs on the Lakers, but that was not

257
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: their problem. Their problem was not getting coverage and being

258
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: talked about. This just put a giant spotlight on it,

259
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 3: but it also put a ton of pressure on that team,

260
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: put a big microscope on it, got multiple coaches fired,

261
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: and to what end? For what purpose? And so the

262
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: Lakers are trying to turn the page, and Lebron James

263
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: still wants to be catered to because he's someone that's

264
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: never been told no pretty much in his entire life,

265
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: because he had cameras in his face, you know, basically

266
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: right when he became an adolescent, and it never changed

267
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 3: from that point in time. And he's lived up to

268
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: so much of the hype that he hasn't even had

269
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: a lot of people that could really criticize him outside

270
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: of one dude that used to work for Fox that's

271
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 3: on TV. He used to be on TV a lot.

272
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 3: That's been his whole career, knocking the guy down. But

273
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: at this stage, it's just amazing to me, like, how

274
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: much more do you need? Man? Like you're not going

275
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 3: to be seen as better than Jordan. I'm sorry. You

276
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: could continue to move the goalpost all you want, you

277
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: can continue to talk about how championships are overrated and

278
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: make jokes about somebody going to play baseball with Kevin

279
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: Durant and all the things that you've been doing on

280
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: your little podcast and all this kind of stuff. You're

281
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: still not going to go down as better than Michael Jordan.

282
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: You're not. So what exactly are you trying to accomplish

283
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: because you're not doing anything that's going to help them

284
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: win a championship right now. This kind of stuff doesn't

285
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: help team chemistry. You're not just going to show up

286
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden be a magnificent teammate. So

287
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: look at all this and it's just like, what's the

288
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: end game other than Lebron James Inc. Because it's not

289
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: the Lakers, it's not the NBA, it's Lebron James Inc.

290
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: At this point, he's no better than a really talented

291
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: LeVar Ball All.

292
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, put a bow on this

293
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: is one. Uh one. I think it certainly sets up

294
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: for an interesting season because I don't think that this

295
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: is like I don't think suddenly everyone's gonna get to

296
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: training camp and it's just gonna be about Lebron again.

297
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: I just don't think that it's It's why it's interesting.

298
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: You know, I've heard a lot of people in our business,

299
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're saying it just to kind

300
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: of make attention, create attention or headlines. You know, there's

301
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: people that say, oh, he's not gonna be on the

302
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: Lakers come day one. Now I'm not smart enough to know.

303
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: I just know that.

304
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: I just know that with the way the contracts work,

305
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: it feels pretty hard, pretty unrealistic to be able to

306
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: do it. But I guess what I would say is

307
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: it sets up for a very interesting season. And then

308
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: to the point that we just made, I think it

309
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: sets up for a very interesting time really whatever it

310
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: would be, you know, July August of next year. Because yeah,

311
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: to answer your question, I don't think that he's ready

312
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: to be done. But I also just don't know what

313
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: the market is. So it's an interesting setup. Luca gets

314
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: his extension. On Saturday, they have a press conference. Lebron,

315
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to say he's nowhere to be found,

316
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: because he made it a priority to let everybody know

317
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: he was.

318
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: Playing golf on social media.

319
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: He made it a priority to let everybody know that

320
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: he was playing golf, but he was not in the building,

321
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: the only real prominent laker of note that was not there,

322
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: and yeah, sets up a very very interesting season ahead.

323
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: Freaking Lebron man freaking Lebron.

324
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: And of course, by the way, we just to reiterate,

325
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, this comes again in the week where he

326
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: did the whole posing in front of the Clippers thing.

327
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: It's just I text this to you throughout the week,

328
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: Jay mart he is officially that boyfriend or girlfriend that

329
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: you had a great run, but now they're just exhausting.

330
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: You know, there's a term that people use called an

331
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: energy vamp.

332
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: Is that what they call it? An energy vampire? Is

333
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: that right?

334
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: Something?

335
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what Lebron is.

336
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: He just takes the energy out of the room. And again,

337
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, h he could get I don't think he

338
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: did this when at a different point in his career.

339
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he was tough to deal with, but he

340
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: was able to back it up with his play on

341
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: the court. But obviously the resume speaks for itself. In

342
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, I would argue he hasn't really lived

343
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: up to expectations in Los Angeles and now it's just

344
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: it's just exhausting.

345
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: It's just exhausting.

346
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 3: I would say he's behaving now, like the the meme

347
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: of the guy that's looking at the girl that passed him,

348
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: and there's there's the girlfriend there that's like, how dare you?

349
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 3: Lebron James is how dare you? At this point? And

350
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: Luka Doncic, especially now that he's slimmed down, is the

351
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 3: girl that has the Lakers swooning.

352
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: So is Polinka the guy holding the hand and then

353
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: he's holding Lebron's hand looking back at Luca Okay, I

354
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: could see that.

355
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: Yes, it's the Lakers organization as a whole, whoever you

356
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: want to place there, And honestly, this is the part

357
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: that I think would really upset him. I also think

358
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: it's the people that are buying tickets for the Lakers. Oh.

359
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I could tell you real quick. I mean

360
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: I was talking to a guy at the gym today.

361
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: I just I was wearing, you know, sports gear, and

362
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: we started talking sports and he's like, get Lebron out

363
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: of here. I mean, that's something you and I have

364
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: talked about in living in LA. I could tell you

365
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: people are ready to move on to the next thing

366
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: with Lebron, Without Lebron I mean, I don't think he

367
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: has resonated the way that he thought he would. I

368
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be remembered positively, to be perfectly honest,

369
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: And it just feels like everybody is ready by the way,

370
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: last last, last thing.

371
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: You know.

372
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Also feels like, you know.

373
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: They're playing a game of survivor and the alliance is

374
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: no longer with Lebron, it's with Luca.

375
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 2: It's O all buddy JJ Reddick.

376
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, whatever you think of JJ, and

377
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: I've certainly been critical, he seems to know where the

378
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: bread is going to be buttered in the buttered bread

379
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be buttered. I think that's the right term.

380
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm all over the place with these terms today. But

381
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: he seems to know who he should be aligning with.

382
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 1: I know he was there. Of course he's gonna be there.

383
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: He's the head coach. But you know, we've heard about

384
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: the dinners with Luca when the season ended, him and Polenka,

385
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: and now it feels like the guy who Lebron brought

386
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: in to be his guy going forward has kind of

387
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: turned his back on Lebron. So interesting times with the Lakers, Jamrt,

388
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: interesting times. Anything else to add before we switch gears

389
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: get some other stuff.

390
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: No, I'm sure we'll have more before the end of

391
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: the show, or at least there'll be some kind of

392
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: passive aggressive comments said towards Lebron. Maybe there'll be a

393
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: background or something like that in one of our photos.

394
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Lebron.

395
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll post something on social media between now

396
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: and the end of this show that we'll, you know,

397
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: we'll get us talking about him again, because God forbid,

398
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: we don't talk about him for thirty seconds. Fox Sports

418
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: because this guy is over promising things we never have

419
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,000

422
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 5: be good at it because you've been over promising women

00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: You know, I thought I saw when I saw. What

467
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: I heard was that she said something that wasn't the

468
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: cookie cutter. The WNBA is great, it's perfect, whatever, So

469
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: she said, it's.

470
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 7: Like one of the biggest stages, all Star setting, may

471
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 7: be more invested in, more than any other or the

472
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 7: All Star Games previously. I think it really would have

473
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 7: maximized the moment instead. As we talked about that nice

474
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 7: there was no defense, I mean no literally no blockshot

475
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 7: for the entire game and it was one fifty one

476
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 7: to one thirty one. And then today in the WNBA

477
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 7: we had one game.

478
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: But an arrest in the WNBA too, but we'll save

479
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: that for another episode.

480
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: Hey, I saw I saw a headline right before we

481
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: came on the air. I bet that's what you're talking about.

482
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 8: Aaron is talking about that.

483
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 2: Yes, we want to talk about it.

484
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: I was wondering if that was going to make your

485
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: updated that's about our Steve, but it did not.

486
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 7: Minnesota is twenty four and five. They dominated at Las

487
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 7: Vegas today one eleven to fifty eight, but all starring

488
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 7: to Fista Collier left this game with an ankle injury.

489
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 7: Add this to the list because Brianna Stewart's been out

490
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 7: this week with a bone Bruce enternee for New York,

491
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 7: Caitlin Clark of Indiana has no timetable to return from

492
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 7: the groin injury, and a note on the Connecticut Sun

493
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 7: reportedly going to be sold for three hundred and twenty

494
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 7: five million and moved to Boston in two years. You

495
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 7: know they win. Caitlyn Clark visited this Shember. They did

496
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 7: play the game in Boston. The Lakers did give Lukadan

497
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 7: Sits a three year MAX extension. The Broncos signed defensive

498
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 7: lineman Zach Allen to a four year extension worth nearly

499
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 7: seventy million dollars guaranteed. By the way, I noticed, there

500
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 7: was a CFL game on TV tonight saskatchw on seven

501
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 7: and one people in a game that did have a

502
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 7: lightning delay. They eventually finished at thirty four to six

503
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 7: over Montreal. We finally got kind of NFL football this

504
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 7: past week with the Hall of Fame game. At least

505
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 7: it starts the exhibition schedule, and you are correct, it

506
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 7: is not the NFL product. So let's get excited. But

507
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 7: every year, let's kind of not get that excited. It

508
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 7: just means we're closer to September two major League Baseball.

509
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 7: And yeah, they had a great idea tonight, it's just

510
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 7: not finished. The ballgame at Bristol Motor Speedway and Tennessee

511
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 7: will resume on Fox TV Sunday at one pm Eastern time.

512
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 7: There was a nearly two and a half hour rain

513
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 7: delay at the start. Brays versus Reds play was suspended

514
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 7: by rain bottom of the first with the Reds up

515
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 7: one nothing, So it will be on Fox tomorrow instead

516
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 7: of playing. You know, they'd be playing right now and

517
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 7: an hour or two from now if they had. Yes,

518
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 7: the rain was going to taper off late tonight in Tennessee,

519
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 7: but they would be going deep into the night and

520
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 7: much of the large crowd more than eighty thousand were

521
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 7: expected to would not be there for the game.

522
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 8: So we'll see about tomorrow.

523
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 7: As for the Chicago Cubs, they were beaten at home

524
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 7: for to three by Baltimore today, giving up four runs

525
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 7: in the eighth. When the Cubs are now two games

526
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 7: back of the first place Brewers in the NL Central

527
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: Milwaukee eight two over Washington. Tampa Bay shut out the

528
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 7: Dodgers for nothing. Today, the Padres have won six in

529
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 7: a row. They were up for nothing at home going

530
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 7: to the fourth against Saint Louis. It's now for to

531
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 7: four against the Cardinals in the top of the fifth,

532
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 7: Colorado and Cleveland with wins. Mets back into first half

533
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 7: game over the Phillies because the Mets beats slumping San

534
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 7: Francisco twelve six, while the Phillies were beaten by Detroit

535
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 7: and Trek Scooble seven to five. Wins for Boston and Toronto,

536
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 7: and Miami shut out the Yankees two to nothing.

537
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve de Seger,

538
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday aeron towards Jason Martin

539
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Let's talk

540
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: just very briefly about that game in Bristol, Tennessee. Uh

541
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: As Disager told you, we had a game at Bristol

542
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: Motor Speedway.

543
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: Very cool idea very cool concept. Frankly, very cool.

544
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: Execution as far as the sites, the sounds, the setup.

545
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. As Disagre just told you.

546
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: A second ago it was a game that was suspended

547
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: in the first inning because of rain. Well, Jamart, you

548
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: probably watched a little closer and it felt like at

549
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: least twice they tried to come back. I don't know

550
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: if that's one hundred percent accurate, but when I got

551
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: into the studio they were clearly playing through rain before

552
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: it was ultimately called disappointing that, you know, disappointing that

553
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't played to its finality, but it obviously will

554
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: be tomorrow.

555
00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

556
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: But another really cool concept from the MLB, And to me,

557
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: I think that's the big takeaway here is it's not

558
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: breaking down a regular season baseball game that wasn't completed.

559
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: It's the fact that you know, I got to give

560
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: MLB credit is that we've talked about it before. All

561
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: of these leagues are trying to find ways to get

562
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: people interested in their regular seasons.

563
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: It feels like MLB.

564
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: Has come up with just very creative ways the last

565
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: couple of years to get people invested into the regular season.

566
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Obviously a few years ago we had the Iowa Cornfield,

567
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: we had Rickwood last year in Alabama. Today Bristol Motor Speedway,

568
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: which a game again which of course will kind of

569
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: go into tomorrow. But I just think I just want

570
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: to give the MLB credit, you know, where we can

571
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: be critical of a lot of different leagues and a

572
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: lot of different things, but I thought this was a

573
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: pretty cool setup, and again it's unfortunate that the weather

574
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: did not cooperate.

575
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with everything you just said. I you know,

576
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: I told my wife last week, I was like, you know,

577
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 3: if this were a different time in my life, I

578
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: would definitely be there, right. You know. I'm in Nashville.

579
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: I'm a huge Braves fan, have been my whole life.

580
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: I want to say, Arnie asked me when you were

581
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 3: out if I was going, and I wanted to say yes,

582
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 3: But I mean, you know that you're in a stage

583
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 3: of life where it just things aren't as easy as

584
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: they used to be to be able to make a

585
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: trip like that. I'd made that on no trouble at all.

586
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: The football game, no, because I.

587
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: Know the Tennessee Virginia Tech game. Yeah, but yeah, I

588
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: mean it's a everything that I saw, like the way

589
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: that it was presented on TV, the job the Fox

590
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: had done, but just like the way that they had

591
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: it set up. I can't imagine doing it better than that,

592
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: Like I was concerned. It's just like, man, there's gonna

593
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: be some bad seats in that place to watch a

594
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 3: baseball game because you're going to be so far away.

595
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 3: Although I mean, you know, you know this airon final

596
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: fours in like giant football stadiums and things like that,

597
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 3: you're going to have that in a lot of places.

598
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: You go to WrestleMania and you're sitting up at the

599
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: top of or for instance, like Summer Slam is tonight.

600
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: If you're in the top of met Life, if you're

601
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: just watching the big screen, you basically can't see what's

602
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 3: happening live in the ring or anything like that. So,

603
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: you know, I think the technology has made a little

604
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: bit easier. But like just the flyover shots and just

605
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: the way that they had it sort of decked out,

606
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: and the way that they utilized that real estate at Bristol,

607
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 3: I came way impressed. And I think that you're right.

608
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 3: All these leagues are trying to find a way and

609
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: the NBA decided to do a tournament at the beginning

610
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: of the year, and well that.

611
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: Was not really a tournament, which is not the problem, but.

612
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: It's not really a tournament. And has you know, weird

613
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 3: floor paintings and all sorts of things like that, and

614
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: you know, hockey back in the day. I remember there

615
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: was a time when there wasn't a Winter Classic. I

616
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: remember the first time they decided to play outside at

617
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: least in a very very long time, and that was

618
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: super cool. Like anytime I see hockey being played outdoors,

619
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: NHL hockey, I'm more apt to stop and watch that,

620
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: like it gives you something new, and it just feels fresh,

621
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: it feels it feels like something you want to see

622
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: at least for a few minutes. It's going to stop

623
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 3: you in your tracks just to kind of catch it

624
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 3: and see what it looks like, catch the ambiance and

625
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: all that. So, you know, the NFL really doesn't have

626
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: to do this. But they're going overseas and things like that,

627
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 3: but they don't have to find a bunch of weird ways.

628
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 3: I guess the closest thing they've done is put themselves

629
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 3: on Nickelodeon with you know, slime cams and things of

630
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 3: that nature. But I look at this and it's just, yeah,

631
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: three years in a row, they have found a way

632
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 3: to celebrate either history or like regional rivalry, like even

633
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: though the Reds and Braves are not in the same division.

634
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: I mean, because of where I live and because of

635
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: where I've lived for so long, I know a lot

636
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: of Braves fans. I know a lot of Reds fans.

637
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: When when I went to school in Kentucky, I knew

638
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: a ton of Reds fans and I knew some Braves fans.

639
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: Nashville is more of a Bravestown, but there's kind of

640
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: a cross section of a couple of different places. So

641
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 3: the state of Tennessee is a perfect place to do this.

642
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: So even though the teams might not be the most

643
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: this year, to see the venue becomes the star and

644
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: sometimes that's enough. It gives you, it gives you a

645
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: reason and hopefully then if you have one of those moments,

646
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 3: then you're able to put your best foot forward. It's

647
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: unfortunately you have the rain delay, but you know tomorrow

648
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: you'll get a Sunday afternoon audience and that should be

649
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: just fine, Like it'll that'll be okay as well. So

650
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's it's easy. There's no reason

651
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: not to call it a w It's actually been pretty

652
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: good for baseball in general this year with All Star

653
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: Game was really good. Home run Derby is pretty solid,

654
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: and now you've got this like this is you know,

655
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: it's a pretty good year when you just look at

656
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: sort of the extra curriculars that baseball has found themselves

657
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 3: some success with.

658
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, listen, Obviously everyone who listens knows

659
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge baseball guy, but it seemed like

660
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: a very active trade deadline, you know, the Mariners making

661
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: a couple of big moves, the Padres making a couple

662
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: big moves. So yeah, I think it's been a successful,

663
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, successful regular season.

664
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: It feels like.

665
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: Baseball is kind of on the way up as a

666
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: national talking point really quickly.

667
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: You know, I'm kind of throwing a curveball at you.

668
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've had any thought to this,

669
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: any thought to what the next iteration of this could be.

670
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean we've Yeah, it's it's like the generic July

671
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: baseball topic.

672
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: Whenever we have one of these games.

673
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: I remember either I think I must have been filling

674
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: in with Arni at one point and we kind of

675
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: did this conversation of what's next.

676
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: I think this was after the Iowa game.

677
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: But anything stand out to you as far as what

678
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: could conceivably be next.

679
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. See, I don't know what exists and what's been

680
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 3: torn down through the years and things like that. I'm

681
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: not up on my sports geography, but I could see

682
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 3: them trying to do something in Brooklyn. Yeah, that'd be

683
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: some point, did Jackie Robinson side. I mean, there's there

684
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: are a lot of different things that you could try

685
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 3: to do. I don't know that you can create. I mean,

686
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: the rickwid thing and the Iowa thing were just so unique.

687
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: I don't know how many of those you could do.

688
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 3: Maybe you could do a major league yeah in Cleveland

689
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: or something like that, But I mean there's there's a

690
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: lot of different things that you could lean on. Yeah,

691
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean I think it would be cool,

692
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: like go the exact opposite route of what they're doing

693
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 3: right now, going in front of eighty thousand, and then

694
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: you know, play something insane like Yankees Dodgers at a

695
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: small minor league park or something like that. Like, I

696
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 3: don't know what. I don't know what the answer is,

697
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 3: but the first thing that came to mind when you

698
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: said it was just Brooklyn because of the history involved there,

699
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: and I could see I could see those video packages

700
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 3: being something special.

701
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

702
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: MLB game at Rickwood Field last year only had eight

703
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: thousand people, so it doesn't have to be a massive.

704
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: Venue like this. Yeah.

705
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't have any any great ideas off top of

706
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: my head, but you know, the thing I'll say is

707
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: Rickwood probably a year or two before that game did

708
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: not seem possible because it obviously wasn't a venue that

709
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: was in use. Iowa was basically, you know, historical site

710
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: more than anything.

711
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: So it can be done.

712
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what the next iteration is, but tonight

713
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: was very cool and to the eighty plus thousand people

714
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: that were there, sorry, you could not see everything in

715
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: its totality. You know, it sucks because the situations like

716
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: this is that they just don't know if everybody can

717
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: stay for tomorrow, hotel situations, all of that.

718
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: But hopefully they do get a good crowd.

719
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: Here's one for you. During the College World Series, have

720
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: a major League game at night. Ooh. I like that

721
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 3: in Omaha, like in the exact same stadium, tickets discount

722
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 3: for both, and like bring real stars out there to

723
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 3: do it. I think it would be good for the

724
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 3: game in general.

725
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: They played a couple games in Williamsport, a couple of

726
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: years ago, right, yeah, yeah, I think that's right. Yeah yeah,

727
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: so that was around the Little League World Series, So

728
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: now I just put a bow on it. But credit

729
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball again. All of these leagues are

730
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: looking for things to catch our attention in the literal

731
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: dog days, in this case this summer, and I think

732
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: they did a great job tonight. For people who haven't

733
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: seen videos or pictures, check any social media or website.

734
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: You'll be able to find them. It was a really

735
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: cool setup and they're gonna come back tomorrow and do

736
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: it all over again. Fox Sports Radio aer toors Jason

Speaker 1: to know about SummerSlam.

751
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 3: Here's something pretty hilarious for you. I haven't finished the

752
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 3: show yet, the Saturday show. I'm actually like during commercial breaks,

753
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: I'm trying to finish the main event. Need to look man, No, no, no, no,

754
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: it's fine. I just I don't know how this main

755
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: event finishes as of yet. I've probably got looks like

756
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: about ten minutes somewhere in that neighborhood left, so somewhere

757
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 3: before the end of the show, hopefully I'll have it finished.

758
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 3: But it's a two night event now. It's first time

759
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 3: Summer Slam's ever been two nights. It's usually just WrestleMania

760
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: that's become a two night affair. But now they have

761
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: kind of grown enough to where they want to do this.

762
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure this year was the best one to choose,

763
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: because they've had so many shows over the last couple

764
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: of months that they just haven't had time to really

765
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 3: build up a lot of the angles and the feuds

766
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 3: and the programs that they were going to be running

767
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 3: on these two nights. I think unless I miscounted, this

768
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 3: was a six match night one show and it's going

769
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 3: to end just over three hours. Now, that's a lot

770
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: better than a super bloated six hour show like it

771
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: could have been. So you split it two days, and

772
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: of course you get two gates out of that. They

773
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 3: quoted fifty three thousand at MetLife. That probably means somewhere

774
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: closer to forty five somewhere in that neighborhood. Maybe it's

775
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: maybe it's a little bit more. A problem with open

776
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: air stadiums for events like this is you the micing

777
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: of it, the way that you have to set up

778
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: the acoustics can be a real crapshoot, Like you can

779
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 3: have a crowd that is actually really into it, but

780
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: on TV it sounds dead. I haven't really gotten that

781
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 3: since from this show. I think they have it miked

782
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 3: pretty well, or just the fans have been kind of

783
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 3: more invested in what is happening. If you ever wanted

784
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 3: to see jelly Roll Russell, he wrustled tonight might be

785
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 3: a one and done scenario for him, but he was

786
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 3: in there with Logan Paul in the one of the

787
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 3: feature bouts. Cardi b is the host of the event.

788
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 3: Oh okay today and tomorrow, she just feels like a celebrity.

789
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: It just feels like a celebrity Madlet.

790
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Car, Yeah, that's true. But I mean there's a

791
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 3: there's a lot of slibs that now attend and weirdly

792
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 3: now that they're on Netflix, like whoever has the Netflix

793
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: show or special that's premiering is always at raw, Like

794
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 3: it's guaranteed every single time that they're going to show

795
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 3: this person who I've never laid eyes on before and

796
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 3: tell me about some show, some comedy show or variety

797
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: show or something that I have zero interest in. But

798
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 3: you know, you have to pay the way that you

799
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 3: have to do everything. But in terms of the show itself,

800
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 3: I would just say this because I never want to

801
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 3: spoil anything for anybody that's going into it. And yeah,

802
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 3: I worked in pro rustling for about ten years and

803
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 3: I've written about it off and on for I don't

804
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: know over twenty five even though I haven't done it

805
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 3: in a couple of years now. But very easy watch,

806
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 3: not a whole lot memorable yet I kind of think

807
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: I know what they're going to do at the end

808
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 3: of this show, and that will be relatively memorable. Tomorrow

809
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 3: night's main event is going to be memorable. Whatever they

810
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 3: do at the end of that match is going to

811
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 3: be massive. With John Cena and Cody Rhoades, whether the

812
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 3: Rock shows up, whether Travis Scott shows up again, however

813
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 3: they want to run this, I think it will be

814
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 3: effective this show tonight. I don't know that a whole

815
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: lot of people are gonna remember a lot about it.

816
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: Thought the opener was really good, and this main event

817
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 3: is an excellent old school match that's telling a wonderful story.

818
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to finishing it during the next

819
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: couple of commercial breaks or whatever. But WW is doing

820
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: pretty good business. I don't think the product right now

821
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 3: is as good as it's been or as it was

822
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 3: last year at this time, not even close as a

823
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 3: matter of fact. So that's kind of why I expected

824
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 3: them to do a lot of big things here to

825
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 3: kind of turn that around a bit. Not sure that

826
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 3: they've succeeded in that yet, but with the main event tonight,

827
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 3: main event tomorrow, they're going to have the opportunity to

828
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 3: do that. So big happening there Netlife doing their thing.

829
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 3: It'll be the most entertaining thing that takes place in

830
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: that stadium this year.

831
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 2: Oh, no shots.

832
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: The NFL move right there, right to the NFC East. Wow.

833
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: Just the Jets and Giants taken strays by the way,

834
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: completely unrelated to WWE, but also related to the NFL.

835
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: In MetLife, read an article this week of like, oh,

836
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn really changed the culture with the Jets.

837
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I've heard that for the last fifteen

838
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: coaches that they've had. Okay, let's get to September see

839
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: if they win some games.

840
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, j mart We appreciate that update

841
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: on SummerSlam. Busy night in WWE, but also say this

842
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: busy week in the NFL. That's right, training camps are open.

843
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: We had the Hall of Fame game, but we gotta

844
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: come back. We gotta discuss the big story of the weekend,

845
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. Will he actually be on the move? How

846
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: did it get so bad? Fox Sports Artio Welcome in everybody,

Speaker 1: know Medina will have a ton of great stuff on

854
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: the LUCA news of the day and the fallout around

855
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: it with Lebron not being there. We'll reset that story

856
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: in an hour. If you missed our conversation on Luca

857
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: signing Lebron's no show, make sure to download the podcast.

858
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: Do you want to get to the NFL j Mart

859
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: And obviously, look, there's one big story that's kind of

860
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: taken over the news cycle, I think for most of

861
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: training camp, but certainly over the last twenty four hours.

862
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: That of course is Micah Parsons and his situation with

863
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. As of a week ago, it was

864
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: kind of Jerry's kind of weird comments about, you know,

865
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: about we're excited but for him to sign, but he

866
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: also gets hurt a lot, and that was weird.

867
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: And it has just.

868
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: Been this this again, just weird situation, you know, Adam

869
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: Schefter early in the week reporting that it was further away,

870
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: the two sides had actually gotten further apart than they

871
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: were getting closer together. And then of course everything kind

872
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: of came to a head on Friday, when Michael Parsons

873
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: did in fact demand a trade, did in fact say

874
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: that he no longer wanted to be in Dallas. It

875
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: is worth noting he did show up to practice today

876
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: but was pretty standoffish, was not obviously certainly not standing

877
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: with either Jerry or Stephen Jones. Bring it up to

878
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: just say, let me just ask you, j Mart big picture.

879
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: We can get to actually, let me ask you a

880
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: big picture. Do you believe that Michael Parsons will be

881
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: anything other than a Dallas cowboy the next time he's

882
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: on an NFL field? And then from there we'll get

883
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: to how did it get so bad? But first question,

884
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: let's just start there. Do you think there's any scenario

885
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: where he is on another team the next time he

886
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: takes the field in an NFL uniform?

887
00:42:55,520 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I don't need I think that this one's

888
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 3: closer than some others that we have seen when it

889
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 3: comes to like I remember when Miles Garrett said trade

890
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 3: me and then like a month later signed a long

891
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 3: time extension with the Browns. I think this one's closer

892
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 3: than that. I did read a couple of people that

893
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 3: were close to Michael Parsons at least people in the

894
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 3: league that knew him and his representation, and their response

895
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 3: to the way the Cowboys have handled this is this

896
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: is the wrong player to do this with. This is

897
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: the wrong guy to do this with, and the wrong

898
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 3: agent to do this with as well. And Mike has

899
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 3: come out it is strangely he's come out and said,

900
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 3: you know, there's been a lot of shots taken and

901
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 3: all this kind of stuff. But one article that I read,

902
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: and I hadn't really thought about this, but this is

903
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 3: kind of what the Cowboys do. Sure, they take a

904
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 3: lot of time yep before they signed these extensions ceedee lamb.

905
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 3: I think Zach Martin multiple times, and I think jj

906
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 3: Watt was the one that said this, and there was

907
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 3: somebody else as well that sort of backed it up.

908
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 3: And there was an executive in the league who was

909
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 3: anonymous or whatever, but he said they keep costing himselves

910
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: money because it just gets an expensive they don't get

911
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 3: a better deal. And jj Watt said that he's like, dude,

912
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 3: sign him sooner rather than later. The price tag always

913
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 3: goes up. And he's not wrong, Like that's exactly right.

914
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 3: What is the end goal here for the Cowboys other

915
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 3: than being in the news cycle, like other than this

916
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: becoming a major talking point, what is the win here?

917
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 3: So do you want Michael Parsons to go somewhere else

918
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 3: because you're gonna end up paying him what he wants?

919
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 3: He really and truly he has the leverage because he's

920
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 3: the one that you need. He doesn't need you. Every

921
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 3: team in the league wants Michael Parsons.

922
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's start there, because it is an interesting point.

923
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: I actually, you know, going back and looking, I actually

924
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: forgotten this. Dak didn't actually even sign his contract or

925
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: agree to terms on his contract until right around the

926
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: start of the season last year.

927
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 3: Ye that's right.

928
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it had been like late in training camp,

929
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: a training camp nonetheless.

930
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: And one you know, I had thought of that.

931
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: I hadn't really put a ton of thought into it,

932
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: but it always does happen late in the calendar, to

933
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: your point, and obviously is costing the Cowboys nothing but

934
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: more money right just in this offseason, Max Crosby, TJ. Watt,

935
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, as you said, all signed extensions, and now

936
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: obviously Michael Parsons is going to want to be the

937
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: highest paid out of all them. I think that's a

938
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: pretty nice metaphor for just the state of the Cowboys.

939
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it is funny. I think you and I

940
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: were kind of on this maybe before everybody, not before

941
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: everybody else, but even during that coaching search, it was

942
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: like you felt like there.

943
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: Had to be like when they didn't re sign.

944
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, like you felt like there had to be

945
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: some big secret that none of us were in on.

946
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: And it was like, oh, no, they're just a disaster,

947
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: and they're going to hire a guy that literally is

948
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: not a candidate for any other head coaching job.

949
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: But it's like the.

950
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: Nicks next, Yeah, yeah, him and Mike Brown.

951
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, at least Mike Brown, you know how.

952
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 3: Well, well you know Mike. I'm not not dogging on

953
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 3: Mike Brown, but just that the the same point that

954
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 3: not having a plan, Oh they've got a master plan. No,

955
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 3: not really, they're just inept.

956
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: Well, and that's exactly it. And and I think this

957
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: is a metaphor for that is. And listen, I think

958
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: there's probably some truth to you know, Jerry now in

959
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: his mid eighties, maybe you know, the mental acuity not

960
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: being as sharp as it once was. I just think

961
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: that's kind of indisputable, But you look at again like, like,

962
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: let's go back to that that that coaching decision, right,

963
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: is that, first of all, I think there was real

964
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: debate about why Mike McCarthy was even coaching this year

965
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: to begin with, after all of those disastrous playoff losses,

966
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: headlined of course by the blow out against the Packers

967
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: at home. But then you bring him back, then they

968
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: struggle with Dak, then they struggle without Dak, then they

969
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: sort of get hot, and there's the weird argument of

970
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: should you bring him back, and he's really rallied the troops,

971
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: and then the season ends. You take your sweet time,

972
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying they would have gotten Ben Johnson,

973
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: but he comes off the board. Bill Belichick obviously comes

974
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: off the board. Basically any credible candidate that you could

975
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: want comes off the board. And so it's the exact

976
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: same thing that's going on with Micah is whatever the

977
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: decision is going to be, and Mike is a little

978
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: more clearcut, you're obviously going to pay him. But it's like,

979
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: again to your point, this could have been done months ago,

980
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: like Miles Garrett, like Max Crossby, even TJ. Watt a

981
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, and instead you drag it on. I

982
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: just think it's a bigger metaphor for the disaster that

983
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of is the Cowboys. But I think there's a

984
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: lot of parallels to the decision with the coach, you know,

985
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: seven eight months ago, where it was like there was

986
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: a way to handle it no matter who you ended

987
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: up getting, and you made the wrong decision every step

988
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: of the way. And that is exactly how it right

989
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: now with this Michael Parson situation as he again has

990
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: requested a trade.

991
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it doesn't look bad for Micah. Like

992
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 3: a lot of times when the players holding out trying

993
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 3: to get more money, the people are against him or

994
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 3: against the player, They usually, for some reason side with ownership.

995
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 3: I don't think most people are in this case, and

996
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 3: I think one of the big reasons why is because

997
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: there's been like this veneer in this facade for so

998
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 3: long about the brilliance of the business, acumen of the

999
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 3: Cowboys and all this other kind of stuff. I think

1000
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 3: it's over. It is. I think people finally see completely

1001
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 3: through this, Like they have not been good on a

1002
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 3: regular basis for a very very long time. They've done

1003
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 3: a lot of baffling things. They haven't drafted, in my opinion,

1004
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: particularly well. Certainly, the coaching situation has not been ideal.

1005
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 3: They kept Jason Garrett for any eternity, yep, and didn't

1006
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 3: get much out of that. Then they bring in Mike McCarthy,

1007
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 3: who was I mean, that's like, it's like ordering toast

1008
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 3: for breakfast, Like nothing against toast. Toast is a pretty

1009
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 3: tasty thing. I enjoy it, but most people are going

1010
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 3: to find something else on the menu that's a little

1011
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 3: bit more exciting than that. So you look at that

1012
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 3: and then you end up with Brian Schottenheimer. Now you're

1013
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 3: kind of weird in how you decide to pay. You

1014
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 3: want to be front page news and drag it out

1015
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 3: as long as humanly possible. You don't win playoff games.

1016
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if your quarterback is good. I don't

1017
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 3: know if he's happy. I don't know if your linebacker

1018
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: is happy. I don't know if your wide receiver is happy.

1019
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 3: The only thing that I know is I just look

1020
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 3: at that franchise and it's just kind of yeah, this

1021
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 3: whole like America's Team and everything else, they're not a

1022
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 3: well run organization. They're not They make a ton of money,

1023
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 3: but it's because it's on autopilot. It's not because they're

1024
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 3: being incredibly savvy. It's just because it's become tradition and

1025
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 3: cowboys equals ratings. It's not earned anymore whatsoever. There's nothing

1026
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 3: that the organization is doing that is positive other than

1027
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: the tabloid kind of stuff to keep them in the news.

1028
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 3: And I don't know if that's the plan or not.

1029
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 3: I sure hope it is, because if not, what in

1030
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 3: the world are you doing? Like none of this is

1031
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 3: helping you at all. All you're doing is falling further

1032
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: behind now two teams in your own division, and if

1033
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 3: you don't watch out, you're gonna be looking up at

1034
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart and whoever the next coach of the Giants is.

1035
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 2: It's all one hundred percent accurate.

1036
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, no, I think that I've been on that

1037
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: for a while because I mean I think you even

1038
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 1: go back to two years ago again when they lose

1039
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: that game in the playoffs and it's like, oh my god,

1040
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: they can't bring back Mike McCarthy, and it's like Jerry,

1041
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: whatever reputation he had once upon a time, it hasn't

1042
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: been that dude for a while. And I only say,

1043
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: I've been on it because I've told the story a

1044
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: million times. But I remember the week that Jason Garrett

1045
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: got fired. It must have been December January, because Arnie

1046
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: span and I were filling in every single day for

1047
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: about five six straight days whatever. And I only bring

1048
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,919
Speaker 1: it up because he come out of at that time

1049
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: week seventeen and it was clear like Jason Garrett wasn't

1050
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: coming back, and it was like, you know, and again

1051
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: it was one of those well who could they get

1052
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: and you have all these big names in the back

1053
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: of your head and it's like, well, you know what

1054
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: about this guy? And then you go through the week

1055
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, he's definitely getting fired Sunday after

1056
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: the game, doesn't happen. We come on air Monday, Well,

1057
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: it didn't happen today, but it's definitely happening tomorrow. We

1058
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: come on air Tuesday, definitely didn't it did not happen

1059
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Come on air Wednesday. Maybe they're going to

1060
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: keep him in a front office row. And I just

1061
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: bring it up because it took like six days to

1062
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: even fire Jason Garrett. And ever since then, it's just

1063
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: been on my radar of whatever you think Jerry is

1064
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: that's not who he is anymore.

1065
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 2: By the way.

1066
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll say this, like the drafting has actually

1067
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: been pretty good, so I'm not criticizing the drafting.

1068
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: But again, you go through the years.

1069
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel, I mean, he's from uh, Texas, He's gonna

1070
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: be a cowboy, doesn't end up being a cowboy. Shador Sanders, Well,

1071
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's Dion's son. They're not gonna

1072
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: they pass on him. So I just bring it up

1073
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: because Jerry isn't who we think he is. And and

1074
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: it goes to a conversation that not only you and

1075
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: I have had, but literally everyone on this airwaves is

1076
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: these airwaves, is that they're just kind of a laughing stock.

1077
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: Like I think, you know, I said this to Dan

1078
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: Buyer the other day, is like it feels like there's

1079
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: a joke that we're all supposed to be in on,

1080
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: but they're the only ones in on it.

1081
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 2: And it's not a joke. It's just reality.

1082
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's just like every move that they make,

1083
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: we think there's this big secret master plan and it's like, no,

1084
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: they're just gonna kind of screw this.

1085
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: Up and whatever.

1086
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: So I don't even know if I have anything else

1087
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: to add, but it's just it's just frustrating to watch

1088
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: as a fan of football, because this is not an

1089
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: organization that needs to be tripping over its own feet

1090
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: the way that they do. But it's just every single

1091
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: time there's a big move to be made, they seemingly

1092
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: make the wrong decision every step of the way.

1093
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so think about it. Like I was thinking as

1094
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 3: you were talking, like one thing is I think they're boring,

1095
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 3: Like really, as a team, they're not interesting, Like they're

1096
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 3: not even interesting at all. Like, yeah, we just spent

1097
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 3: a whole segment on it, but we're talking about this

1098
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons deal kind of as we're basically saying, yeah,

1099
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 3: they're not very interesting. I don't exactly understand the endgame

1100
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 3: here at all. It doesn't make sense. They haven't had

1101
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 3: interesting coaches, they haven't had a bunch of interesting personalities

1102
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 3: in a while. They have a few, but not a lot.

1103
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 3: But it's like, look, if you're a messy person, all right,

1104
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 3: if you're just a slob, I can put you in

1105
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 3: the nicest home ever to be created. I can put

1106
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 3: you in the taj Mahal. I can put you in

1107
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 3: mar A Lago. I can put you in the nicest

1108
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 3: home imaginable. I can put you in a ten million

1109
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 3: dollar mansion. It's still gonna look like crap after a

1110
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 3: few weeks. Like it doesn't. It doesn't matter because you

1111
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 3: are who you are, So you have all the advantages

1112
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 3: in the world. If you're the Dallas Cowboys. You have

1113
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,959
Speaker 3: the built in America's team thing and the fan base.

1114
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 3: You have all the merchandise that sells to everybody across

1115
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 3: the country. You have television networks getting down on their

1116
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 3: knees and begging for as many games with you as

1117
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 3: humanly possible. And yet you run things so conservatively, and

1118
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 3: so everything feels delayed, if that makes any sense, Like

1119
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 3: everything around the Cowboys organization, it feels like there's like

1120
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 3: lag in the Wi Fi, yeah, or something like that.

1121
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 3: It just takes too long to do everything. And then

1122
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,439
Speaker 3: by the time you do the thing, you've either won,

1123
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 3: like in this case with Michael Parsons, cost yourself money,

1124
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 3: or two lost out on candidates or players that would

1125
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 3: have been better for you than who you ended up with,

1126
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 3: because like, ultimately you end up making a decision. It's

1127
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 3: like maybe Jerry gets dragged to the finish line at

1128
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 3: some point and he's like, Okay, yeah, you're right, we

1129
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 3: probably do need to make this move. And then if

1130
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 3: you're in the room with him, you're like, well, now

1131
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 3: you need to make that move like a month ago.

1132
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 3: Now what we would want to do isn't there anymore.

1133
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,720
Speaker 3: But they still make the move even though the fix

1134
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 3: is not there anymore. Like everything feels slow. Yeah, I

1135
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 3: don't don't. I don't know how else to say it

1136
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 3: other than that it's just a franchise that seems to

1137
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 3: be in second gear in an F one race.

1138
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: All I'll add, and I've told this story before, but

1139
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: my nephew a huge, huge, huge Cowboys fan, and unfortunately,

1140
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: you know, he's like twenty four to twenty five, so

1141
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 1: he does not remember the Michael Irvin, Dion Sanders, Troy Aikman,

1142
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: year's Emmitt Smith as well, and I remember seeing him

1143
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: last year. He lives back on the East Coast, so

1144
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't get to see him as much. And it

1145
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: was before Dak got hurt, and I said, so what

1146
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: do you think of the team? A little bit of

1147
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: a slow start, And he honestly said, he said, Aaron,

1148
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: I've just come to accept as long as Jerry's there, it's.

1149
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 2: Never gonna get better.

1150
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 1: And I hate to say it, I just think it's

1151
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: the truth. And you know, not wishing mortality on an

1152
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: eighty two year old man here, but just this organization

1153
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: is not what people perceive it to be. And this

1154
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: is the latest example. And I think the last thing

1155
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: i'd say too, j Mark, I think the part that

1156
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: you brought up is an important one is that I

1157
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: think in a lot of cases, when you have situations

1158
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: like this, people tend to side with with ownership and management.

1159
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: I don't feel like the perception is that way. No, Yeah, no,

1160
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't either.

1161
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think we I think we've gotten to

1162
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 3: the end of it there. But like yeah, like Mike's

1163
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 3: gonna get his money and then people are just gonna

1164
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 3: say what was this for the last month? Like what

1165
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 3: exactly are you? What are you doing? Yes?

1166
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: And I mean even if and the weird thing about

1167
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: this one specifically is he's gonna get paid, even if

1168
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: he becomes the highest paid player ever. There was just

1169
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: so much unnecessary shrapnel. Yeah, of blick comments that just

1170
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 1: didn't need to be made. So how about them cowboys?

1171
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: How about them? Cowboys.

Speaker 2: WHATEVER a lot of wins baked into these.

1302
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,520

01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: mart that there is a prop On DraftKings sportsbook of

1304

1309

1312
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: Easily IF i was In vegas right, NOW i think

1313
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: this would probably be my number one bet so. FAR

1314
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: i Like San francisco to comfortably go over ten and a.

1315
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 3: HALF i don't think they're gonna win five games this.

1323
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 10: to even suit up for the first.

1324
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:58,480

Speaker 3: go over ten and a half based on that, schedule,

1330
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 3: boy it's been a rough year and maybe we're having

1331
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 3: conversations after this. One so, again everything is subject to

1332
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 3: big injuries of, course, yes BUT i don't see a

1333
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 3: scenario outside of that where they don't go over that.

1334

1336
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 9: Yeah you know it's media is pretty divided on what

1337
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 9: they think the forty nine ers will be this, year,

1338
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 9: Right like some are, like, oh they're Super bowl contenders back,

1339
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,919
Speaker 9: right all they need IS Cmc Trent williams. Healthy they

1340
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 9: really bolstered that defensive. LINE i don't think people realize

1341
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 9: they don't watch. Them they had no d linemen last

1342
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 9: year Besides Nick. Bosa these were all undrafted free agents

1343
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 9: and late round. Guys they Drafted Mikel, WILLIAMS Cj, Wes Alfred.

1344
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 9: Collins even if they don't have a pass, rush they're

1345
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 9: going to be a top five run.

1346
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 2: Defense So i'm over as. WELL i think they get thirteen.

1347
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 9: WINS i have a bias, there Obviously i'm, biased BUT

1348
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 9: i think thirteen's pretty with their, schedule even with trap games.

1349
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 9: Thirteen next up we got The Los Angeles, rams. Though

1350
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 9: now this one's shocked me a little. Bit, guys nine

1351
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 9: and a half for a team THAT i think a

1352
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 9: lot of people are saying as a dark horse to

1353
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 9: go to the Super bowl this.

1354
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 2: Year jane mart what are your.

1355
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 3: Thoughts i'm kind of torn BECAUSE i can understand the

1356
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,439
Speaker 3: dark horse, thing BUT i can also, say, yeah maybe

1357
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 3: we're overrating them based on what we think of what

1358
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 3: they've done in the. PAST i don't. NOT i think

1359
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 3: the reason Why i'm gonna go over is because nine

1360
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 3: and a half feels, low LIKE i think. You're the

1361
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 3: way you set it up is WHY i feel. COMFORTABLE

1362
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 3: i think if this word ten and a, HALF i

1363
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 3: would be a little bit more. CAUTIOUS i could see

1364
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 3: them having an up and down kind of. Year doesn't

1365
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 3: mean that it couldn't end in glory for. Them they

1366
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 3: could still make a Super. Bowl BUT i don't know

1367
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 3: that it's going to be the easiest looking regular. SEASON

1368
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 3: i think The rams are kind of going to be

1369
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 3: A jecko And high team from week to, week and

1370
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 3: it's gonna kind of it's just going to depend on the.

1371
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 3: Matchups so, Yes i'm going, over But i'm not as

1372
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 3: high on them as a lot of people.

1373
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Are, yeah you, know it's interesting to go back in.

1374
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: Hindsight they only quote unquote won ten games last, year

1375
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: and SO i think that's probably where some of the,

1376
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: consternation if you, will could Be with that, SAID i,

1377
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: mean you look at some of the losses that they

1378
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: had lost To detroit early in the. Season in ot

1379
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 1: this is a team that also lost to The Philadelphia.

1380
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Eagle so the top two teams in THE nfc and

1381
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: really struggled out of the gates start at one and

1382
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 1: four and got hot from. There and SO i don't,

1383
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: Listen i'm not smart enough to know exactly how these

1384
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: numbers come, together BUT i kind of feel like part

1385
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: of it is probably, just, hey you, know it's hard

1386
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: to go much past nine and a half wins when

1387
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: you only got ten a season. Ago with that, said,

1388
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: again the schedules are just so manageable. Now they obviously

1389
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: have a first play. Schedule they do Play, philly they

1390
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 1: do Play. Detroit but you, know you get this Schedule

1391
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: texans week, One titans week, two you do Have, Philly colts,

1392
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: Early jaguars. Early they would basically have to lose to

1393
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: every marquee team on the schedule and then take a

1394
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: couple of weird. LOSSES i just it's hard for me

1395
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: to find eight losses on this schedule to go what

1396
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: they would have to, GO i guess nine and. Eight,

1397
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 1: yeah there's not eight losses on this. Schedule something weird

1398
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: would have to happen for them to not hit. Nine,

1399
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: YEAH i just or to not hit. Ten excuse, ME

1400
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: i just can't see.

1401
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 3: It.

1402
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 9: Yeah and they've also started off bad in the last few,

1403
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 9: seasons and they've had a second half. Run so even

1404
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 9: if they start off poorly, AGAIN i feel like they

1405
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 9: always kind of figure it. Out next up shocked, me, though,

1406
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 9: Guys cardinals eight and a half over The, seahawks and

1407
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 9: win Total aaron.

1408
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Eight and a, half so they'd have to go nine and,

1409
01:08:51,920 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: eight you, know just to just guys weird team Know Kyler,

1410
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: murray weird, guy The Marvin harrison. Thing you, know he

1411
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: really didn't start out that. Well he finished fine with

1412
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: sixty two, catches eight tds as a rookie last. Year

1413
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: what's the, Number? Brandon eight and a half feels right

1414
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: on the. Money this is. One IF i was In,

1415
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 1: VEGAS i would probably just stay, away would not be

1416
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: betting it. Again you just look at the schedule and

1417
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,759
Speaker 1: it's just there's so many wins baked into the. Schedule

1418
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:32,600
Speaker 1: theirs is a little bit different. Though they do play The,

1419
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: packers the count.

1420
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 3: Some tough road games, too im and they go they

1421
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 3: go To Tampa, bay they go To, houston they go To. Cincinnati. Yeah,

1422
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah Like i'm under on them because somebody has to be,

1423
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 3: like they're not all gonna go over their win. Total

1424
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 3: even THOUGH i Think kyler might have a good, YEAR

1425
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 3: i JUST i don't, know because it's it's hard to

1426
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 3: make heads or tails of The. Cardinals so history tells

1427
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:00,759
Speaker 3: ME i should under.

1428
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 1: Deeper So i'm gonna go. UNDER i was gonna say.

1429
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: DEEPER i look at the schedule. DEEPER i agree that

1430
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: IT'S i think the play has to be under.

1431
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 2: There so we're three for three with the same.

1432
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 1: Thoughts who's the last? Team, WELL i know who the

1433
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: last team, Is, brandon go ahead and.

1434
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 3: Give it to.

1435
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 9: Us, yeah if you Guys, seattle and you, know it's

1436
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 9: interesting Because i've heard actually a lot of people in

1437
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 9: On seattle around media. Outlets you, Know Sam darnold some

1438
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 9: think is an upgrade Over. GINO i seem to, disagree.

1439
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 3: But it seems Like. Vegas, yeah it.

1440
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 9: Seems Like vegas disagrees as. Well they haven't met seven

1441
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 9: and a half FLOW.

1442
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 3: Us in the. Division, YEAH i mean they go To

1443
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 3: pittsburgh early in the. Year they go To washington mid,

1444
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,719
Speaker 3: season somewhere in that. Neighborhood so they got a couple

1445
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 3: of tough road, games but a lot of their road

1446
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 3: games are. Manageable they go To, atlanta they go To,

1447
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 3: tennessee To. Jacksonville those are all winnable kinds of. GAMES

1448
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 3: i like you, said seven and a, half, yeah seven

1449
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 3: and a. Half, YEAH i think they they probably can

1450
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 3: can manage eight. WINS i certainly do not think That

1451
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 3: Sam darnold is some guaranteed upgrade Over Geno, smith at

1452
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 3: least not in games that down the stretch when you

1453
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 3: really need. Him donald still yet to prove that maybe he.

1454
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 3: Can but you know you don't HAVE dk this year.

1455
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 3: Either like there's just some changes about That seahawks. ROSTER

1456
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 3: i DO i think they can SQUEEZE i, SAID i

1457
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 3: said it was, over but Now i'm talking myself back.

1458
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 3: Out the schedule just looks really easy to. Me So

1459
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 3: i'll say.

1460
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Over just for the sake of, Disagreement i'll say, under, okay,

1461
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: yeah maybe. Right well number feels about. Right you, know

1462
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: first of, All, JAMAR i forget what the context was about,

1463
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: this BUT i remember talking to you month, ago two months, ago,

1464
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: whatever and we both were, like, wait, SEE i don't

1465
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: won ten games last year BECAUSE i really don't remember

1466
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 1: anything about their season in a positive or negative. Way

1467
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 1: it just kind of happened in a. Vacuum BUT i,

1468
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Listen i've never been A Sam donald. Guy i've never

1469
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: believed in. HIM i think he was a byproduct Of

1470
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 1: kevin O'Connell last year defense head, coach you, know second

1471
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in two years For. SEATTLE i Know Sam

1472
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,719
Speaker 1: donald wasn't THERE i just don't believe.

1473
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 3: It Sam.

1474
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 2: Donald here's the other.

1475
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:13,560
Speaker 1: Thing the defense was okay last, year But mike McDonald

1476
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: was sold as this, visionary you, KNOW x factor. Guy

1477
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: it didn't really show up on the bottom, line and

1478
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 1: So i'm not a believer In. Donald this feels to

1479
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: me a little bit like When Matt ruhle took over

1480
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: The Carolina panthers and he was just this lauded head

1481
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 1: coach and kind of went through a bunch of quarterbacks

1482
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden never really.

1483
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 2: Figured out the.

1484
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Quarterback i'll just be curious for the third. Time not

1485
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 1: A donald guy, schedule you know. Whatever but, Yeah i'm

01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 7: tonight if you saw the ball go through in the left,

1516
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 7: field it was, like you, know a, pond and that

1517
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 7: putting it mildly on the left side of the. Infield

01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 7: so much hard rain was falling after they resumed the game.

1519
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,080

Speaker 7: be clinching The World series that. Night they tried so

1523
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 7: hard to finish.

1524
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 3: That game in the.

1525
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 7: Rain it was a pool of, one like almost An

1526
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 7: olympic pool at one point on the left side of the.

1527
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 7: INFIELD i mean to the point that the the, umpire

1528
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 7: the crew, chief in giving an interview, afterwards was saying

1529
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 7: it was threatening to make the game. Comical and finally

1530
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 7: in the sixth inning they called and there was more

1531
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,479

01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 3: i first saw the, news immediately was just, LIKE i,

1689
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 3: mean we're going to have to talk about, this but

1690
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 3: it's not particularly interesting That luca is going to stay At.

1691
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 3: LAKER i assumed that he was going. To, yeah he

1692
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 3: left a little bit of money on the, table BUT

1693
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 3: i mean he's going to be able to recoup that

1694
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 3: down the. Line he's betting on, Himself he's you, know

1695
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,680
Speaker 3: he's kind of recruited some people. There this was a

1696
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 3: foregone conclusion in my. Estimation so it wasn't a particularly

1697
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 3: like meaty topic except for the jilted ex lover that

1698
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:19,679
Speaker 3: still wants everything to be about, him and because it's.

1699
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 3: Not we're seeing workout photos with The clippers logo in the,

1700
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 3: background we're seeing weird, tweets we're SEEING i don't have

1701
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 3: anything to talk about when we're At Summer. League we're

1702
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,680
Speaker 3: seeing all these various, things and now we're seeing this

1703
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 3: very conspicuous, Absence and there is absolutely no doubt in

1704
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 3: my mind that it was calculated to make sure that

1705
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 3: there was a lot of evidence that his absence was

1706
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 3: not for any particular. Reason that's why we found out

1707
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:55,559
Speaker 3: he was playing golf all. Day he made sure everyone saw,

1708
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 3: that so it wasn't like because you, know you think

1709
01:24:58,600 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 3: that it's, like, well you, know maybe there was a

1710
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 3: death in the family or something serious that could have.

1711
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 3: Happened you never know why he might not have made.

1712
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:06,599
Speaker 3: It he might have. Tried maybe this flight was the. Later,

1713
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 3: no he's playing golf and he made sure everybody saw

1714
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 3: that as. Well it is the epitome of, immature just

1715
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:22,640
Speaker 3: kind of ego, maniacal almost narcissistic behavior that you have

1716
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 3: to be front and center all the. Time and the

1717
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 3: page has turned with The lakers. Organization we read the

1718
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 3: story to When Horse shelburne's. Story we've seen some of

1719
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:32,719
Speaker 3: the other things that have gone. On we Have medina

1720
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 3: on a couple of weeks. Ago you, know he backed it.

01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 3: Up medina will be With fratto after we're, done And

1722
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 3: i'm Sure bernie will ask him about it and he'll

1723
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 3: probably say similar things like This Lebron james. Thing dude

1724
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:47,560
Speaker 3: is unfortunately going to go out in a really just

1725
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 3: a really negative, way like this is one of those

1726
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 3: where it's just, like all, right, Now i'm ready for

1727
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 3: him to go ahead and, Retire LIKE i love watching

1728
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,160

1729
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 3: i feel LIKE i represent the vast majority of this

1730
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 3: watching public where it's just, like, dude just just go

1731
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 3: away and live your. Life go start your production, company

1732
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 3: do all your, podcasts you, know be passive aggressive about

1733
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 3: all the stars that came before you that you think

1734
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 3: you're better, than and all these other like we can't

1735
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 3: just enjoy you for the basketball player that you are

1736
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 3: because you won't allow it. Anymore So i'd rather you

1737
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 3: not play basketball. Anymore i'd rather you just go do

1738
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 3: something THAT i can, Avoid like the league can't turn

1739
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 3: the page until you exit stage. Left so at this,

1740
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 3: Point i'm just waiting for that because this is such

1741
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 3: a slap in the face in that organization that's been

1742
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 3: over backwards to try and do everything that you, want

1743
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 3: firing multiple, coaches bringing in your old podcast, coach drafting your,

1744
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 3: son all these other kinds of. Things you can't be

1745
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 3: there For luca's extension because it's better for your brand

1746
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 3: for you not to. Be now we're talking about, you

1747
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 3: but it's.

1748
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 2: Not, yeah it's just so SO i agree with everything you.

1749
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: Said is that one AND i really actually kind of

1750
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 1: was thinking this during THE nba playoffs this year is

1751
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: for all the criticisms of THE nba during the regular.

1752
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: Season you, KNOW i remember watching those playoffs and you

1753
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 1: know whether Obviously haliburton got, hurt but he had an incredible,

1754
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 1: Playoffs Jalen, Bronson Anthony. Edwards it just it was, like

1755
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 1: there's so many great, stories yet when the season, begins

1756
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: everyone in our business can't help but default To lebron

1757
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 1: and The. Lakers don't know what to talk, About lebron

1758
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 1: and The. Lakers no lead, Topic lebron and The, lakers

1759
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: you know. Whatever and you, KNOW i think it in

1760
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 1: many ways has hurt THE, nba and you AND i

1761
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: have talked about.

1762
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 10: That is that?

1763
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 2: Again you, KNOW i don't think AND i think it

1764
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 2: was a great point that you brought. Up throughout the.

1765
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 1: Playoffs it's like people literally didn't know how to talk

1766
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,679
Speaker 1: about The Indiana pacers or The Oklahoma City thunder because

1767
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 1: it was just it had never been a topic all regular.

1768
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:56,560
Speaker 1: Seasons So i'm ready for him to move. ON i

1769
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 1: think the thing that stands out to me is living IN.

1770
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: LA i think there's a lot Of. LAKERS i don't

1771
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 1: even THINK i would say the, vast vast majority Of

1772
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,560
Speaker 1: lakers fans are ready to move? On tell you, what

1773
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 1: why don't we bring? It Producer brandon, Here brandon is

1774
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: a Diehard lakers. Fan, Dude i'll be, Honest like being around,

1775
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: town it feels like it, run it's run its. Course

1776
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: it feels like it never really was what it was

1777
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: supposed to. BE i think Most lakers fans what? Percent

1778
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: let me ask, you what percentage Of lakers fans would

1779
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 1: you say are ready for The lebron era to be?

1780
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 1: Over BECAUSE i think it is way bigger than people.

1781
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 1: Perceive i'd say it's like in the eighty to ninety percent.

1782
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 1: Range what do you say to? That, YEAH i mean

1783
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 1: it's a great. QUESTION i think we first needed disassociate

1784
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: the people that are fans Of Lebron james specifically totally

1785
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: different who then bandwagoned, from you, know obviously throughout his

1786
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: career each. Team now Are lakers fans because those would

1787
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 1: obviously they want him to be, on they want they're

1788
01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: just fans Of, lebron, right so they're NOT i don't

1789
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: know what they would do for Just laker fans that

1790
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 1: Were laker fans Before lebron got TO, LA i would

1791
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: say it's ninety.

1792
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,600
Speaker 9: PERCENT i don't THINK i would. Be it's hard to

1793
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,680
Speaker 9: find fans that still want him on the. Team in,

1794
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 9: fact my personal belief in this situation IS i would

1795
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 9: prefer to just at this point trade him for. Anything

1796
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 9: you can issue is no one wants, him which he'll

1797
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 9: never say publicly like they. Won't oh, yeah That cleveland was.

1798
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 9: Interested reports were for a mid level. Exception, Right they're

1799
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 9: not going to pay you forty, Million. Lebron of course

1800
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 9: you opted in to your player.

1801
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 3: Option.

1802
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 2: Right of course he did.

1803
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 9: Because no one else was gonna pay him forty million

1804
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 9: dollars at age forty.

1805
01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 2: One and, look he accomplished a lot with The. Lakers

1806
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 2: BUT i would have traded.

1807
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:44,960
Speaker 9: Him AND i think another point we need to bring

1808
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 9: up Is Genie buss's involvement with this crazy because If

1809
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:52,200
Speaker 9: Mark walter was running the team like he would what

1810
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 9: it is like The dodgers basically and his, people, Right

1811
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 9: lebron would be gone. ALREADY i think With genie stain

1812
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:01,640
Speaker 9: over this next you, know period of five, years and,

1813
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 9: Look i'm gonna Give Genie flowers for her treatment Of

1814
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:09,760
Speaker 9: Stars stars love her part Of luca's. EXTENSION i you, know,

1815
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:12,920
Speaker 9: PERSONALLY i believe was because he has a good relationship

1816
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 9: With Jeanie. Buss but we also have to, remember If

1817
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 9: Genie buss, was let's, say completely, gone not even the

1818
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 9: Governor Mark walter would have Fired Rob. Polinka he would

1819
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 9: have Hired Sam presty and given him a blank, check

1820
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 9: And lebron would be running laps In cleveland right, now

1821
01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:28,920
Speaker 9: getting ready for The caps, season and they would have

1822
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:29,719
Speaker 9: traded him For Jared.

1823
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 2: ALLEN i, mean it would have already been.

1824
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 9: DONE i think only because Of Genie buss's involvement is

1825
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:38,600
Speaker 9: Why lebron is still A. LAKER i would prefer just

1826
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 9: to win thirty five or forty games and not Have

1827
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 9: lebron on the team and start building the roster Around,

1828
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 9: luca because there's no way they win a championship this.

1829
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 9: Year this is a zero percent. Chances they don't play

1830
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 9: enough defense, well and it.

1831
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Just it speaks TO i think the thing that we

1832
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the, Show, jason and for people

1833
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 1: who missed, it go back now with the. PODCAST i

1834
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:58,879
Speaker 1: just think it sets up for a very interesting season

1835
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:04,720
Speaker 1: ahead because it's clear heat like he doesn't want to be,

1836
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 1: there they don't want him, there but there is no

1837
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 1: real market to move him or trade.

1838
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,760
Speaker 2: HIM i just think it's gonna set up for a, very,

1839
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 2: very very weird.

1840
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:16,720
Speaker 1: Year here's the other THING i would say about this

1841
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:18,720
Speaker 1: too really, quick janmart we didn't talk about this in hour.

1842
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 1: ONE i think from my, perspective if you're mad at the,

1843
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,240
Speaker 1: organization that's, fine and this speaks to what you said

1844
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 1: earlier about him just being a. Narcissist but LIKE i

1845
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,639
Speaker 1: was explaining, this this whole situation with my wife earlier

1846
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:34,479
Speaker 1: today and she's, like do you think he doesn't Like?

1847
01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 2: Luca AND i was, like, no it has nothing to

1848
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:36,680
Speaker 2: do With.

1849
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:41,560
Speaker 1: Luca But luca is the default enemy Because luca is

1850
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 1: what's standing in the way of him getting what he,

1851
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 1: wants which is complete. Control and that's the part THAT i,

1852
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 1: think to me is the most embarrassing. Part is if

1853
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 1: you have issues with, ownership guess. What there's a lot

1854
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 1: of athletes all over sports that have issues with, ownership

1855
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 1: just Asking Michael. Parsons but this dude came, In this

1856
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 1: dude didn't ask to be. Here this dude thought a

1857
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 1: year ago he was retiring A dallas. Maverick but he came.

1858
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 2: In he once he got to la he said all

1859
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 2: the right, things he did all the right.

1860
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 3: Things you.

1861
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: KNOW i think that he kind of deferred To lebron

1862
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,439
Speaker 1: throughout that, season AND i think, that to me is

1863
01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 1: the most disappointing. Thing you want to have issues with

1864
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:24,639
Speaker 1: the front, office that's. Fine, heck you want to post

1865
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 1: your stupid social media in front of The clippers jersey

1866
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: wearing The cleveland gear whatever.

1867
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 2: Practice, FACILITY i don't.

1868
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,679
Speaker 1: Care but it is such an insult To Luka, doncic

1869
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 1: who you now have to quote unquote go to war

1870
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 1: with for eighty two games next. Year it's just such

1871
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:44,680
Speaker 1: an insult to him and guys that are supposed to

1872
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:47,640
Speaker 1: be his. Teammates it's just that's the frustrating part to.

1873
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: Me if you want to be mad at ownership, management

1874
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 1: you won't be the first, athlete you won't be the.

1875
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:54,439
Speaker 1: Last but to do that to a guy that's your

1876
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 1: teammate that you're supposed to be in the trenches, WITH

1877
01:32:57,920 --> 01:32:59,360
Speaker 1: i think that's the most frustrating part for.

1878
01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:03,280
Speaker 3: Me, Yeah so there's another part of the definition of

1879
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,640
Speaker 3: a narcissist THAT i think applies, here and that is

1880
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 3: that one of the things that a narcissist cannot do

1881
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 3: is recognize and admit, fault recognize and admit that they're

1882
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:17,760
Speaker 3: in the.

1883
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 2: Wrong it sound like my wife talking about me during a,

1884
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 2: Fight but, anyway.

1885
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 3: That's not possible for a narcissists to. Do they always

1886
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 3: see it from their own. PERSPECTIVE a lot of times

1887
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 3: they are almost blind to how they come across by everyone.

1888
01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 3: ELSE i haven't always felt this way About, lebron but

1889
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:41,640
Speaker 3: just over this last few, years as you kind of

1890
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:43,800
Speaker 3: watch this whole thing play, out and then you can

1891
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 3: kind of go back and see the breadcrumbs of this through,

1892
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:49,679
Speaker 3: Time here's how you build a, narcissist one really easy.

1893
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 3: Way do you really think That lebron has people that

1894
01:33:55,160 --> 01:34:01,719
Speaker 3: are giving him the straight truth about himself on a regular? Basis?

1895
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 3: Nope has he, ever at least in his impressionable, years

1896
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:09,920
Speaker 3: has he ever not been? Surrounded BUT i, mean do

1897
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 3: you really Think Maverick carter is Telling Lebron james when

1898
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:19,080
Speaker 3: he's wrong on a regular, basis correcting, him humbling, him

1899
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 3: helping to disciple him to be a more mature. Person and, like,

1900
01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 3: well you, know that's what a friendship is supposed to.

1901
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:28,240
Speaker 3: Be just showed me my. Weaknesses i'm supposed to do

1902
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:28,760
Speaker 3: the same for.

1903
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 1: You you know HOW i know he hasn't because he's

1904
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 1: gone through so many, Coaches like, seriously, like, like whatever

1905
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:41,200
Speaker 1: you think About Michael, jordan, Right Phil, Jackson, however, whatever

1906
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 1: it was eight nine years, together and it's obvious That Phil, Jackson,

1907
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 1: Yes Michael jordan is the main reason that they won those.

1908
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: Championships but it was clear That phil pushed some buttons

1909
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,760
Speaker 1: that didn't always Make michael. Comfortable and so you go

1910
01:34:56,040 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 1: through the history Of, lebron all the co all the

1911
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 1: front office, people all the. Pressure the only one that

1912
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 1: didn't back down from him was obviously Pat riley And Eric.

1913
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Spolster and there's a famous story of him going to

1914
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:13,600
Speaker 1: Pat riley and try to Get Eric spolster. Fired and

1915
01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 1: it was the first time and probably the only real

1916
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,680
Speaker 1: time up until right, now that somebody has told him.

1917
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:21,760
Speaker 1: No so to answer your, QUESTION i know for a

1918
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 1: fact that nobody's really standing up to, him and that

1919
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 1: nobody's really pushing, back because when they push, back they get.

1920
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 2: Removed see all of the coaches that have coached him

1921
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 2: through the.

1922
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 3: YEARS i, mean, well another thing that would kind of

1923
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 3: reflect narcissistic behavior would be every TIME i lose into,

1924
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,479
Speaker 3: PLAYOFFS i have a shadow injury THAT i revealed the next. Day,

1925
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:44,920
Speaker 3: yes stuff like, That LIKE i can't be, WRONG i

1926
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 3: can't be, BEATEN i can't be number. Two championships don't

1927
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:50,400
Speaker 3: matter BECAUSE i don't have as many As. Michael but,

1928
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 3: really we shouldn't be judging careers based on that. Anyway

1929
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 3: we should be judging him based on longevity or some

1930
01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:58,720
Speaker 3: nonsense like. That there's always you have to move the

1931
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:01,960
Speaker 3: goalpost to stay in, front because it's not okay for

1932
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,680
Speaker 3: you not to, be you, know front and center and all.

1933
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 3: That and, again, yeah got to get to coach fired

1934
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,200
Speaker 3: we're not, winning it's got to be the coaches, fault

1935
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 3: or it's got to be this PERSON i don't have

1936
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 3: enough help or whatever it, is all those kinds of.

1937
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 3: Things and the problem for a narcissist when the time

1938
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 3: comes that they're no longer like they don't have to

1939
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 3: be catered to, anymore is that you see what you've seen,

1940
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 3: here which Is luca's the one at the, Dinner he's

1941
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 3: the one Recruiting Marcus. Smart he's the one, saying let's

1942
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 3: go ahead and bring In DeAndre, Ayton let's see what

1943
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 3: we can do with. That and they're not Including lebron

1944
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 3: in these conversations the same way that they used To

1945
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:44,680
Speaker 3: lebron and The. Lakers whatever the falling out, was whenever it,

1946
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 3: started whatever it was, about all those kinds of, things

1947
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 3: it had to center around the fact That lebron was

1948
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 3: not getting his, way, period point, blank end of. Story

1949
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 3: and now he's really not getting his way because the

1950
01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 3: team is not really focused around him him. Anymore AND

1951
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:02,680
Speaker 3: i don't think that he wants to play on a

1952
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 3: team that he's not the focus of because he's never

1953
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 3: had to in his entire. Career even When Dwayne wade

1954
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 3: was getting a decent amount of press with The, heat

1955
01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:13,960
Speaker 3: it was still all About Lebron. James everything In, cleveland

1956
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 3: certainly About Lebron. James Anthony, Davis, yeah he could be

1957
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 3: called street, clothes But lebron was going to be the

1958
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,560
Speaker 3: guy IN la at all. Times now we know for

1959
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:26,800
Speaker 3: a fact that The lakers Are Luka doncic's, team and

1960
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 3: today or yesterday it became more apparent than ever with

1961
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 3: this extension being, signed and the way that the franchise

1962
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:36,120
Speaker 3: is kind of embracing him and all, this and who's

1963
01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:40,240
Speaker 3: not there the guy that's been number, one that's unwilling

1964
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 3: to take a step back even though it's happened in

1965
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:45,400
Speaker 3: front of, him like he can't stop. It but he

1966
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 3: ALSO i don't know that he's EVEN i don't know

1967
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,640
Speaker 3: that he is capable of understanding that the world has

1968
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 3: moved past. Him and so this is why you're seeing

1969
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 3: the passive aggressive. Stuff this is why you're seeing the,

1970
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 3: Photos this is why you're seeing all this stuff that's

1971
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 3: so irritating and. Annoying and it just feels like this

1972
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 3: is like elementary, school middle. SCHOOL i know you, are

1973
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:13,000
Speaker 3: but what AM i kind of stuff From Lebron. James

1974
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 3: it is beneath somebody of his caliber as an, athlete

1975
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 3: as a leader in, community all the things that he

1976
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:22,680
Speaker 3: has done throughout his. Career this right here is, LIKE

1977
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 3: i hope this is not a True. COLORS i hope

1978
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:28,160
Speaker 3: this is just you, know coming to grips with his

1979
01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:32,640
Speaker 3: own basketball, mortality his own star mortality is AN nba basketball,

1980
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 3: player and he doesn't even recognize he can go do

1981
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 3: a whole lot of stuff after, basketball and people are

1982
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 3: going to like him and people are gonna want to

1983
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 3: be around, him assuming that he doesn't continue to shoot

1984
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:42,400
Speaker 3: himself in the.

1985
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 2: FOOT i want to just wrap on one.

1986
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 1: Thing brandon's a little bit more plugged into all the

1987
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 1: nuance on a couple.

1988
01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:50,080
Speaker 2: Things there's.

1989
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,479

1991
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 2: Surprising, oh he's not gonna be A laker come day.

1992
01:38:57,120 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 1: One there's no way with that contract that he can

1993
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 1: on a different team really at any, point at least

1994
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:05,599
Speaker 1: to start the, season, Right, like there's no even if

1995
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:09,519
Speaker 1: there was a hypothetical team, interested there's really no way

1996
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 1: to move him with.

1997
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 9: That contract the way that it, is, right one hundred

1998
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:14,760
Speaker 9: percent chance he's A laker at the start of the,

1999
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 9: Season AND i think there's one hundred percent chance he's

2000
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:17,800
Speaker 9: A laker at the end of the.

2001
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 2: Season, YEAH i truly.

2002
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:21,800

2005
01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 9: a first round exit with the best player he's ever played. With,

2006
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:32,719
Speaker 9: Right so that's another thing that's that's hurting his. Ego

2007
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:35,600
Speaker 9: And i'd agree With jason on. That SO i do

2008
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 9: think he thinks, forty you know, whatever his, money all

2009
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:42,200
Speaker 9: the millions he's making forty to fifty with The lakers

01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 3: Thing he can.

2012
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:45,680

2014
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 9: bums you, Know, No and and it just it brings

2015
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 9: it full circle to what we talked about. Now one

2016
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 9: is that it's just it's disappointing on so many. Levels

2017
01:39:57,560 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 9: and To Jay mart's point that he just made a minute,

2018
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 9: ago is that it's just it's sad that this is

Speaker 1: Way again still a very good basketball, player, yes but

2022
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 1: it is to exactly what you, said J, mart it

2023
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:22,479
Speaker 1: is beneath him to be acting in this manner at

2024
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 1: this point in his, career at this.

2025
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:25,880

Speaker 1: to add beyond, that but it's just it's just a

2028
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:34,320
Speaker 1: brutal look for a guy that should be aging. Gracefully

Speaker 3: Let's do.

2157
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:51,760
Speaker 1: It, yeah, yes it could go to a lot of

2158
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:57,519

2159

2160

2163
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:20,000

2164
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:24,799
Speaker 1: Things but what was your take ON espn now running

2165
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:27,559
Speaker 1: THE nfl, network which basically no longer.

2166
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:32,599
Speaker 3: EXISTS i, mean, immediately if you run THE nfl, network

2167
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 3: how critical are you going to be of? Them we've

2168
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,960
Speaker 3: already got that problem in the past with THE espn

2169
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:40,960
Speaker 3: being a little too, Buddy, buddy you already have a

2170
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:44,680
Speaker 3: ton of overexposed. Personalities what are you gonna do WITH

2171
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 3: nfl networks? People are you gonna keep guys Like steve

2172
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:49,320
Speaker 3: Mary uchi and some of the guys that have been

2173
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 3: on that network for a long, time or are we

2174
01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 3: going to have Dan orlowski on seventeen more, Shows Marcus

2175
01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:59,040
Speaker 3: spears on fifteen more. Shows nothing against those, guys but

2176
01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:05,519
Speaker 3: they're on everything and the one that to me just

2177
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:07,720
Speaker 3: kind OF i just, say just leave it, alone, man

2178
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 3: please just leave it alone this Red. Zone don't get

2179

Speaker 3: rid Of Scott, hansen don't put don't have us go

2180
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:18,360
Speaker 3: To pat McAfee every ten minutes to find out what

2181
01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:20,439
Speaker 3: he and Aj hawk think of what's happening in the.

2182
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:25,240
Speaker 3: Games Don't we don't need a manning cast for the Red.

2183
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 3: Zone we don't need any of. This we don't need.

2184
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:30,040
Speaker 3: Analysis that's not what we're watching it. For we are

2185
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:33,680
Speaker 3: literally Watching Red zone to just enjoy what's happening in

2186
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:37,639
Speaker 3: all these games in the easiest, format to just see

2187
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 3: all the scoring and see the most exciting things that are.

2188
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 3: Happening so we're not stuck with what we have to

2189
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 3: watch locally sometimes and things of that. Nature if we

2190
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:47,719
Speaker 3: don't Have sunday, TICKET i don't want to See STEPHEN.

2191
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 3: A smith on YOUR nfl network. COVERAGE i don't want

2192
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:55,000
Speaker 3: to See STEPHEN. A smith on Red. Zone the definition

2193
01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:57,960
Speaker 3: of overexposed like that's the, problem and this is, look

2194
01:48:58,240 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 3: they could prove us all wrong if they just took

2195
01:48:59,920 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 3: these properties and let them, alone, right like they don't

2196
01:49:03,080 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 3: have to actually interfere in their. Businesses same thing with

2197
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 3: inside THE. Nba it's interesting that they go after inside THE,

2198
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:13,040
Speaker 3: nba they, get you, know THE tnt, stuff and then

2199
01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 3: they turn around and do this exact same. Thing also

2200
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:17,600
Speaker 3: with THE. Nfl it's, like are you just taking the

2201
01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:20,920
Speaker 3: stuff that does that does certain things that you can't,

2202
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 3: Duplicate Like i'm not sure like not that YOUR nfl

2203
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 3: coverage is terrible or, anything and THE nfl network's actual

2204
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:30,479
Speaker 3: coverage is, great BECAUSE i don't think that it. Is

2205
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:35,719
Speaker 3: but the idea of just like acquiring all these, assets

2206
01:49:36,360 --> 01:49:38,800
Speaker 3: that's fine if you leave them alone like silo it

2207
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:41,120
Speaker 3: off to where it's, like, yeah we own them now or.

2208
01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 3: Whatever but like if you're trying to control their, content

2209
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:46,720
Speaker 3: that's where we have a huge problem BECAUSE i don't

2210
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 3: think anybody benefits from that any other thing that we

2211
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 3: are starting to. SEE i saw an estimate yesterday that

2212
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 3: in order to watch all of THE nfl football, games

2213
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 3: like if you were going through all the services to

2214
01:49:58,160 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 3: have various games and all that other kind of, stuf

2215
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,960
Speaker 3: if it would cost you one thousand dollars throughout the

2216
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:04,640
Speaker 3: course of the season in order to see everything that

2217
01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 3: THE nfl. Has and that's just one. Sport, guys like

2218
01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:10,680
Speaker 3: everybody listening out, there pay attention to. This sports are

2219
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 3: being siloed. Off they're being put on all these various streaming.

2220
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:15,479
Speaker 3: Services it's going to get harder and. Harder the older,

2221
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:18,920
Speaker 3: crowd the you, know the senior, citizens and those the

2222
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 3: folks that aren't as up on a lot of these streaming.

2223
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:25,560
Speaker 3: Services they're just not going to have access to a

2224
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:27,640
Speaker 3: lot of the things that maybe they have in the

2225
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:29,720
Speaker 3: past and things like. That but Red zone is a

2226
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:32,479
Speaker 3: thing they need to leave alone because it's already working

2227
01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 3: like there's no reason to change. It and again they

2228
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to do. That but are we really

2229
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:43,920
Speaker 3: comfortable and confident in thinking that they're not going to

2230
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 3: put their hands in these places and try to fix

2231
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:52,000
Speaker 3: them or espnize them or disnetize, them as opposed to

2232
01:50:52,120 --> 01:50:54,240
Speaker 3: just kind of leaving them. Be that's the whole idea

2233
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:56,600
Speaker 3: with inside THE. Nba if inside THE nba does not,

2234
01:50:56,840 --> 01:51:00,559
Speaker 3: change if everything is still the, SAME i think everybody's

2235
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:02,719
Speaker 3: gonna be okay that it's you know on a different,

2236
01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 3: network but when we have that split screen and we're

2237
01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:07,679
Speaker 3: staring At STEVEN. A smith that we know that that's

2238
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:10,000
Speaker 3: not going to be the way that that. Goes so

2239
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:13,720
Speaker 3: we have to see are they going to just let

2240
01:51:13,840 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 3: these properties make money for them by not messing up

2241
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:20,519
Speaker 3: what's good or are they still going to have to

2242
01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:22,880
Speaker 3: find a way to bring them into this ecosystem in

2243
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:26,200
Speaker 3: a bigger. Way AND i think that right there is the. Death.

2244
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:29,080
Speaker 2: NOW i don't really have much to, add.

2245
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:32,840
Speaker 1: AND i think the number the two themes THAT i

2246
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 1: would kind of piggyback on is one just the cost

2247
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:37,880
Speaker 1: of being a sports fan.

2248
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:39,600
Speaker 3: Now it is.

2249
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 2: Frustrating it is, tough and it's not to be. Fair

2250
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:43,720
Speaker 2: it's not just THE.

2251
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:48,760
Speaker 1: Nfl, no you, know, yeah like college, football you, know

2252
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,080
Speaker 1: The Big ten has games On. Peacock if you don't Get,

2253
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:54,120
Speaker 1: peacock you. Screwed obviously that goes with THE nfl playoffs as.

2254
01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 1: WELL i thought it was interesting To saga brought up

2255
01:51:56,120 --> 01:51:59,320
Speaker 1: the point last week about THE mls going To APPLE

2256
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:02,840
Speaker 1: tv all only and basically having been forgotten about since.

2257
01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:05,240
Speaker 2: Then so it sucks for.

2258
01:52:05,360 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 1: Fans AND i think the only other thing THAT i

2259
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 1: would add is exactly what you, said which is just

2260
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:13,120
Speaker 1: don't screw with red.

2261
01:52:13,240 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 2: Zone just Leave Chris. Hansen And i've.

2262
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 1: Seen Chris hansen saycot Hands Chris hansen is to Catch chris. Else,

2263
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:24,759
Speaker 1: yeah okay, whatever listen if you're if you're gonna Replace Scott,

2264
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:28,760
Speaker 1: hansen bring In Chris. Hansen, okay, uh but, yeah red

2265
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:33,080
Speaker 1: zone is like like inside THE, nba perfect the way

2266
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:36,519
Speaker 1: that it. Is it's it's a it's an iconic property

2267
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:42,200
Speaker 1: as it. Is don't screw it. Up but this is Just, yeah,

2268
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 1: Lastly i'll just say this IS i don't think it's

2269
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:48,920
Speaker 1: a win for sports fans, because as you, said it's

2270
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,640
Speaker 1: MORE espn it it what's the right, word it not.

2271
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 3: Minimal one problem is there the lack of competition means

2272
01:52:55,520 --> 01:52:57,280
Speaker 3: they don't have to innovate it. Anymore they don't have

2273
01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:59,760
Speaker 3: to change and it was as much. Anymore that's THE i,

2274
01:52:59,840 --> 01:53:01,680
Speaker 3: Mean and that's the monopoly side of this and the

2275
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:04,320
Speaker 3: anti trust stuff that you. Know i'm not saying that

2276
01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:07,200
Speaker 3: that's what this, is but that's the biggest problem with a.

2277
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:09,960
Speaker 3: Monopoly not only can you, charge they want everybody to

2278
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 3: go to THE espn plus right like they don't care

2279
01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:14,400
Speaker 3: if you cancel your, cable if you're paying them thirty

2280
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:17,000
Speaker 3: bucks a month just for THE espn content that they're

2281
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:19,720
Speaker 3: gonna split off From Disney, plus and it's gonna you,

2282
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 3: know they're they're they're going to find a way to

2283
01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 3: get more money out of, you even though if you've had,

2284
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:27,360
Speaker 3: cable you understand that your, rights fees and the money

2285
01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:29,720
Speaker 3: that you are paying, monthly a ton of it goes TO,

2286
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 3: espn whether or not you watch sports or.

2287
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:37,080
Speaker 2: Not, yeah don't really have much else to add other

2288
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:38,759
Speaker 2: than to, say, yeah just don't.

2289
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 3: Just don't screw with the red zone. Alone don't screw

2290
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:43,439

2321
01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:25,480
Speaker 1: was At big twelve media day a few weeks. Ago

2322
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:30,520
Speaker 1: SO i was just not ready for WHAT i heard

2323
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 1: in the. Freight SO i watched it live BECAUSE i

2324
01:55:32,640 --> 01:55:34,680
Speaker 1: happen to be around and in front of a phone,

2325
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 1: whatever AND i just wasn't ready for the, first you,

2326
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 1: know five minutes where they basically explained all of the

2327
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:44,840
Speaker 1: serious issues that he dealt with bladder, cancer had to

2328
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:48,080
Speaker 1: have his bladder. Removed thankfully the cancer is completely.

2329
01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:50,000
Speaker 2: Gone and so two.

2330
01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 1: Things one it was surreal to, hear but THEN i

2331
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:57,040
Speaker 1: just Thought dion handled it from there about as well

2332
01:55:57,080 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 1: as you, could you, know telling, men, women, young, old

2333
01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 1: make sure you're getting.

2334
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:02,720
Speaker 2: Tested you.

2335
01:56:02,840 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 1: Know the inspiration that he, showed the line that stuck

2336
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:10,280
Speaker 1: stuck out to. Me one of the reporters asked him

2337
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:12,360
Speaker 1: about staring death in the. Eye he, SAID i didn't

2338
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:14,400
Speaker 1: stare death in the. EYE i stared life in the.

2339
01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:19,960
Speaker 1: EYE i just thought it was an incredible you, know

2340
01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:23,480
Speaker 1: probably hour of. Whatever AND i know most people probably

2341
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:26,560
Speaker 1: only saw little clips or read articles or, whatever BUT

2342
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,240
Speaker 1: i just think this guy is such an. Inspiration AND

2343
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 1: i just think for all of the criticism that he's

2344
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 1: gotten over the last couple of years because he's loud

2345
01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:36,120
Speaker 1: or he's this or he's.

2346
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 2: THAT i love the message AND i love the message

2347
01:56:39,720 --> 01:56:40,360
Speaker 2: that he delivered On.

2348
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 3: Monday, yeah he used his platform and just his stardom

2349
01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 3: for something just very not just, important but something that

2350
01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:58,680
Speaker 3: will resonate not just within his own like in The colorado,

2351
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:02,840
Speaker 3: community but everybody can relate to. This everyone has their

2352
01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:06,440
Speaker 3: own story regarding, this whether it's personal or whether it's

2353
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:08,680
Speaker 3: somebody in their family or somebody close to. Them it's

2354
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:11,960
Speaker 3: touched almost all of. Us and so you know the

2355
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:15,160
Speaker 3: criticism That dion has. Gotten he's a blustery. Guy he's out.

2356
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:17,480
Speaker 3: There that's one of the reasons why he's Deon. Sanders

2357
01:57:17,560 --> 01:57:19,880
Speaker 3: he's always been that. Way you're going to get the

2358
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:21,640
Speaker 3: good and you're going to get some things that might

2359
01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:24,000
Speaker 3: rub you the wrong, way and you, know all that

2360
01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:25,920
Speaker 3: kind of. Stuff but in, this it was just, this

2361
01:57:27,800 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 3: there was just this like very human vulnerability to what

2362
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 3: he was. Doing it's like you still knew you were

2363
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 3: listening To Dion, sanders and he knew that you were

2364
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:39,160
Speaker 3: listening To Dion, sanders but so much of it was

2365
01:57:39,240 --> 01:57:44,320
Speaker 3: not about. Him it was about something larger and it

2366
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:46,880
Speaker 3: JUST i didn't see at. ALL i WISH i, had

2367
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:50,320
Speaker 3: but it just gave us all the right kind Of

2368
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:53,240
Speaker 3: it's almost like it's undercutting it to say, vibes but

2369
01:57:53,360 --> 01:57:56,440
Speaker 3: it just it gave off this very you, said. INSPIRATIONAL

2370
01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:58,200
Speaker 3: i think that's probably a good way to put. It

2371
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:02,680
Speaker 3: just you now want to root for, him but you

2372
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 3: also just you love the, message, uh and what was

2373
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 3: going on there was just a it was just a

2374
01:58:07,880 --> 01:58:10,640
Speaker 3: positive for all. Involved and then you read the stories

2375
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:12,600
Speaker 3: about what it was like for the you, know the

2376
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:16,080
Speaker 3: people around the program to see him back and seeing

2377
01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:18,800
Speaker 3: him on the sidelines doing his thing at camp and all,

2378
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:22,600
Speaker 3: This like now you're now you're more invested In colorado

2379
01:58:22,680 --> 01:58:25,480
Speaker 3: in a completely different. Way it's not what's going to happen.

2380
01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:28,400
Speaker 3: Here it's almost, like, man after this dude came back from,

2381
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 3: THIS i want to see them win this. YEAR i think.

2382
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:35,400
Speaker 3: THAT i think that's there's just a. Lot there's a

2383
01:58:35,480 --> 01:58:38,080
Speaker 3: lot to, it and it's all it's all, positive just

2384
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 3: that he went through this and he was willing to

2385
01:58:40,360 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 3: talk about it in such a raw way where he

2386
01:58:44,200 --> 01:58:47,920
Speaker 3: wasn't trying to talk about What Tian sanders wasn't going

2387
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:50,720
Speaker 3: down to This like, no it wasn't that at. All

2388
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:53,760
Speaker 3: there was there was a humanity behind it that revealed

2389
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:57,440
Speaker 3: a bit of humility even behind the sunglasses and all,

2390
01:58:57,560 --> 01:59:01,120
Speaker 3: that where you just recognize again That Dion sanders is

2391
01:59:01,200 --> 01:59:05,200
Speaker 3: a he's a spiritual, person he's a religious. Person there's

2392
01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:08,800
Speaker 3: faith in his, life but there's also just there's there's

2393
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:11,520
Speaker 3: a reason why he's been able to be as magnetic

2394
01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:14,160
Speaker 3: as he's been for such a long period of. Time

2395
01:59:14,200 --> 01:59:16,520
Speaker 3: and you saw maybe the best example of all time

2396
01:59:16,640 --> 01:59:17,120
Speaker 3: of that this.

2397
01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:18,960
Speaker 2: Week, yeah last little thought On.

2398
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:21,720
Speaker 1: DION i think we can officially put to rest the

2399
01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 1: notion that he was only, coaching uh to get his

2400
01:59:25,480 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 1: sons Through. Colorado don't think there's a better example of

2401
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:33,760
Speaker 1: anyone who clearly wants to be coaching college, football uh

2402
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:37,320
Speaker 1: than the guy who came back from cancer a couple

2403
01:59:37,360 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 1: of weeks later after. All, yeah, yeah, YEAH i think

2404
01:59:40,160 --> 01:59:43,720
Speaker 1: anybody who had that, thought, uh probably we can put

2405
01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 1: that one to.
