Great to be with you again. 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: If you would have told me a year ago, Jeff, 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: that I would be watching WNBA games left and right 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: and betting on them. I literally just saw a second 13 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: ago Angel Reesa's seventeen rebounds. We need to be on 14 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: the over on that, Jeff. How did we miss that 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: opportunity there? 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: I mean, her stats are so interesting to me because 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: half for our offense, nearly half our offense rebounds. It 18 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: is a shocking amount of offensive rebounds of her own. 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: Missus a lot of times like it's a great opportunity. 20 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: You know, when you bet like a like a points 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: to rebounds assist right for those who you can bet 22 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: the combination of all those right, like the best play 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: is like an offensive rebound and a basket that's three. 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: You get three for that, right, even better, obviously, off 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: it's a rebound basket foul, you get four. She gets 26 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: three all the time. She gets her own rebound and 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: it scores two points. Like she would be the absolute 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: best to wager on in those points rebound assists market 29 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: because of that reason. However, I'm glad you started with 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: maybe the game happening right now Phoenix in Indiana, because 31 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: we talked about her a lot. Kaylyn Clark, all right, 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: and she's very polarizing for whatever reason. But Dana Tarazzi, 33 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: one of the best of all time, right is on 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: the Phoenix Mercury, and she talked a lot about Kaylyn 35 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: Clark joining the WNBA, and some of the points I 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: think are very valid, like, hey, it's gonna take time. 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: She's a young cat. But it sounds a lot like 38 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: a lot of haterade, you know, Brian, a lot of haterrade. 39 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: And all Kanan Clark has done kept her mouth shut, 40 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: encouraged other women, encouraged other players in the league, gone 41 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: about her job, and I think she's two rebounds away 42 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: from a triple double today. Yeah, and I know they're 43 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: gonna lose. Phoenix's kind of taking off right now. Indiana 44 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: was winning for part of the second half. But Kanan 45 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: Clark's at twelve, eight and ten right now. 46 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good way. 47 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 2: To tell the rest of these old cats like I'm here, 48 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: I'm here to stay. She's not shooting terribly well, but 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: that's you know, she shot better recently, but against these 50 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: better teams, she's struggling to find a little bit of 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: her shot, which is again, this fair criticism of her 52 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: game right now. But I love the quiet sort of 53 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: assassin thing. Now, I'm not against talking, I'm not against 54 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: that at all, but I love when a player is 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: just quiet and then just goes about and dominates. 56 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Well, it's a good point where they just flashed it 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: on the screen, where like you read off this that line. 58 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: Caitlyn has twelve points, she has eight rebounds, ten assists. 59 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: No rookie in WNBA history has recorded a triple double, 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: so she's two rebounds away from making history. And yeah, 61 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: going back to Diana, and I agreed with her. She 62 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: was like, listen, there are levels to these things. When 63 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: you go from dominating in college to playing against grown 64 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: women who have been playing professional basketball for years and years. 65 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: It's a different level and it might take a little 66 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: bit of time to be a star. I didn't have 67 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: any problem with that whatsoever. But because it's Kitlin Clark, 68 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: sometimes it mushrooms into a bigger deal. But I like 69 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: your point where I agreed with Diana. There are levels 70 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: to this thing. But Caitlyn Clark is already productive. I 71 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: think it's a mixture. She will have her passing ability, 72 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: some assists. She'll make some passes that are chest gorgeous 73 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: and it's like, how did you see that? And then 74 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: there are some passes where it's like, oh my gosh, 75 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: that was awful. So she's a progress she is still 76 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: productive to begin her career. 77 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: Here, she's averaging I think six and a half or 78 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: seven assists, and it could easily be ten if if 79 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: her teammates has catched the ball. Like her turnovers. It's 80 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: a high turnover number. But if you watch and people 81 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: told her to me to do a good job of 82 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: just highlighting this, Brian, her teammates cannot catch the ball. 83 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: It reminds me of do you remember the famous Stephen A. 84 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: Smith rant when when the Lakers traded pal Gasol's gonna 85 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: be four pal Gasol and trade away. Kwame Brown, Kwame Brown. Yeah. 86 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 2: And Steven A. Smith is like he's got he's got 87 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: hands for bricks. He cannot catch the ball. He can't 88 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 2: like he cannot catch His hands are small, they're bricks. 89 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: He cannot catch the ball. That's the rant. By the way, 90 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: it was like old Stephen A. Smith. It was just 91 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: it was brilliant. It's before he became famous, porgan popular 92 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: the way he is now. That's what her teammates have. 93 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: They have bricks for hands. They don't catch the ball. 94 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 2: And you know what part of it Two when you 95 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: play with someone like White, Kaylyn Clarkenbook, I've not played 96 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: the NBA, but I've been fortunate to play with some 97 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: good basketball over the years. Is a year youth and 98 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: some AU stuff and some some summer ball stuff. Is like, 99 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: when you play with someone like her, you have to 100 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: always be ready for the ball. And it's a new 101 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 2: experience for people that don't play with someone like her. 102 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: And you can even put this in NBA. I mean, 103 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: you know, there's been guys and we just you know, 104 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: Bill Walton just passed obviously a couple of weeks ago. 105 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: He's one of those guys like, if you weren't ready 106 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: for the ball, you were gonna tumble it, like you 107 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: always be right, he was gonna pass you the ball. 108 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 2: You always to be ready for the ball. And the 109 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: ladyship plays are not ready for the ball. They fumbled 110 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 2: the ball away so much. And uh answers a rookie 111 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: on a bad team the first pick overall for a reason. 112 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen, we've got a lot of stuff to 113 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: get to today. The ball buffet is in effect, Jeff. 114 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of NFL to get to. Yeah, 115 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: some other NBA stuff that I think is interesting. But 116 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: sticking with this as we wind down, Phoenix is up 117 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: by seven with under four minutes to play. It's this 118 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: is gonna sound hyperbolic, and I don't mean it to 119 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: sound like that at all, but it does remind me. 120 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Hang with me, because there's gonna be like, I don't mean, 121 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: like some shock value to begin with, but with Caitlyn 122 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: Clark on the road, when her team scores, and especially 123 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: when she scores, the the cheering that takes place, how 124 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: loud it is, it reminds me of the nineties Bowls 125 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan and I'm not saying she's Mike. I'm 126 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: not saying anything like that, but it just reminds me 127 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: of like the Beatles factor when they're on the road. 128 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: It's there already with Caitlyn Clark. It's wild. 129 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: You know, I thought about this because you know, they've 130 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: showed the arenas that she's playing this year. They've showed 131 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: how you know, they've they've had to move from some 132 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: of the smaller venues to the you know, the larger 133 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: NBA arenas, right, And it's so fascinating to me because 134 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: you know, like her style of play and the way 135 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: people shoot threes now is is not you know, that unique, 136 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: especially with NBA players like Steph Curry, But I think 137 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: that we just love the performative nature of her game, right, 138 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: Like that's what it is. You want to see players 139 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: just chuck up logo. She met Logo three in Seattle 140 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: the other night. Like it's just she just plays a 141 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: game that again, it's not that it's not it's not 142 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: that different from other players. They're just the way she 143 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: she carries herself on the court, the shot selections she has, 144 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: it just feels more exciting when she does it than 145 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: anyone else. 146 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's true. 147 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: It's like I don't know, like why that is exactly 148 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 2: because but like Sabrina Escue, she's just as many threes 149 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: as her. It makes just as many of them, but 150 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: they don't look as a certain way, like they don't 151 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: look as exciting as the one Calen Clark takes. 152 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: Right, It's and Sabrina's great at what she does, but 153 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: her form isn't as interesting, right, Like she has some 154 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: deep threes, but I don't know, she's a little more 155 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: mechanical a little bit. I don't mean that as it 156 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: disc but like, wow, factor with is different. 157 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: Her legs go like Canon Clark's legs play out and 158 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 2: let's go over the place. Yeah, mean, dude, they're selling 159 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: out even even my daughter. Today's my son. I think 160 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: I had on the Liberty game earlier for a little 161 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: bit in between some Euro soccer matches and my son 162 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: are the Fever playing. I was like, no, that's later. 163 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: He said, Oh, okay, that's that's Katon Clark's team. I'm like, yep, 164 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: that is It is like, like I don't know how 165 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: he know. I thought, like, we don't spend a ton 166 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: of time talking about can and Clark in our house, 167 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: but everyone just knows who she is. 168 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, it's uh. And she grabbed a rebound, so 169 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: I believe she's one rebound away. 170 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome. A triple double against the basically the 171 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: team of the players who said you couldn't play in 172 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: this league at this level. 173 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: At least initially. Yeah, right, Yeah, But I think. 174 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: There's some I think that there is. It sounded to 175 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 2: me like there was a little bit more than just 176 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: like this year. It sounded a lot like we don't 177 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: know she'll make it. It felt a little harsher than that. 178 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: But and the criticism is totally valid because we've seen 179 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: in every league that you know, rookie year is hard man, 180 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: especially in this thing. You weren't She went right from college, 181 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: one month of training camp right to the WNBA season. 182 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: Now they're going to take a break for the Olympics soon, 183 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: which I think will be pretty helpful for her. I 184 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: actually think I said at the time, Brian, we haven't 185 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: done a show in quite a while. Now I've been traveling. 186 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: Is I think it's actually better for her personally to 187 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: miss the Olympics. She needs a little bit of like 188 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 2: time to relax a little She needs like a little 189 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: bit of like she she basically carried college basketball for 190 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 2: so many months, right, and now she's had this media 191 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 2: storm around her and wa even going so far as 192 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: you know, you know, ladies in the league questioning if 193 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: she has their back, you know, like all these and 194 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: it's gone way past just basketball, Like the three or 195 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 2: four weeks off she's going to get in this summer 196 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: of not doing the Olympics. I think it'd be really 197 00:09:59,480 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: great for her. 198 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be if she definitely gets a chance 199 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: to recharge and all of that. We've only got about 200 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: two minutes to go, and Indiana can cut it to 201 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: a one point deficit. There was a flagrant one. I get. 202 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: I can't believe these are our lives. Now we're breaking 203 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: down WNBA games. I love this leading up to the game. 204 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: This is beautiful. Diana Tarassi asked a question and did 205 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: not go in depth. Check this out, though. 206 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 3: I'm storing into facing Kami Park for the first time 207 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: on Sunday. 208 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be fun, that's it. Yeah, it'll be fun. 209 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 2: They just don't want to get asked about it. This 210 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 2: is all look right. The veterans reaction is is totally 211 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: I totally understand it because I look, I've been those 212 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: spots before. God, the rest of our team is just 213 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: not good. Like you, you don't want to talk about 214 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: a young player that you feel has not earned the 215 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 2: right to be talked about. As you mentioned, there's levels 216 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 2: to what she said. There's levels to attention that you 217 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 2: generate in sports leagues, and a lot of times that 218 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: attention veterans feel has to be earned. And then in 219 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 2: this league, especially because you know there has been a 220 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: steady rise in viewership and attention paid to w I 221 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 2: know I personally watch more partly because you know, I 222 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: a Sabrina fan, and she went to Oregon. I tried 223 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: to follow the you know, the organ team out and whatnot. 224 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: She married off. It's alignment too, So she's very smart 225 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 2: and and so you know, I've watched more of it, 226 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: and so I understand the veterans feeling of like, hey, 227 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 2: there's been stories to cover before, y'all haven't been here 228 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: to cover them. Why we're talking about a woman who 229 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 2: hasn't even set foot in our league yet. And I 230 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 2: get that feeling, but also comes off as jealousy, which 231 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: is again a natural feeling to have in that situation. Brian. Yeah, 232 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: but when she's helped But thinking about Brian, sorry, the 233 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: last there is she's helping the league so much by 234 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: her presence, by her fandom around her, and she herself. 235 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 2: I don't know her at all. All I can go 236 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 2: off is what I've seen her, how I've seen her 237 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 2: playing at their times. She shrugs her teammates and and 238 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 2: you know, doesn't look at the best team of all time. 239 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: But I think generally speaking, she seems like a good teammate. 240 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: I can't she's like a good you know, a good person. 241 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: I think, I don't know how else to say it. 242 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: So like she's not bringing on the christm on herself. 243 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: So it comes off his jealousy a lot of times. 244 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: But I understand where the jealousy comes from. 245 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it's to me the the Diana Tarassi thing 246 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: where she's like, yeah, it'll be fun. That's what you 247 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: explained it at the beginning, where it comes across as 248 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: a veteran that's like, man, this rookie really hasn't she 249 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: hasn't done anything yet. 250 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: So well the other time with a minute and half left, 251 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean. 252 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: I just don't want to be waxing poetic or talking 253 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: about her like crazy. It's like, I think she's a 254 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: competitive maniac. And I mean that as a compliment with 255 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: Diana t ROSSI. Now, if you go Kennedy Carter and 256 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: sort of like Bill Goldberg spear Youkaylee like it's pro 257 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: wrestling or something. Now, now that goes to the next 258 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: level where there's a little bit more animosity or jealous 259 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: whatever is going on there. 260 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: The officiating in this league ain't crat either, by the way. 261 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: I've noticed that. Not my favorite officiated league. No, I 262 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: feel like that it could be the case in a 263 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 2: lot of places. But sometimes they like sort of it 264 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: just they let things go sometimes and they get really ticky, tacky, 265 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: and I don't know what. I don't know what they're 266 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: doing sometimes, but I feel like that's you can make 267 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: a grape of every league. But here we are, I mean, 268 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: Fever down down two with a minute about minute left. Well, 269 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: now now it's tied and they have and one with 270 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: a minute twenty two. So there's a pretty big win 271 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: for for for the Fever. I think it's a pretty 272 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: cool story then going and get this one because Phoenix 273 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: is good, right, They're still good. I think they got there. 274 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: Right they don't. 275 00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 2: They have three or four Olympians on their team. 276 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not as great as they used to be. 277 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: You know, Diana is a little bit older, a lot older. 278 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: Forty two. I can't believe she's forty two. She's forty 279 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: two years old. 280 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: Man. Yeah. Yeah, Brittany Grinder is tall. I think that 281 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: you sometimes here like and we had we had a 282 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: woman's called baschtball played organ. It was six six when 283 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: I was there, and that's how tall I am. And 284 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: she look between the eye and it's it's still like 285 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: to see Brittany Grinder on the court. Yeah, she's tall. 286 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: She is tall, and she gets a lot of rebounds. 287 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: Yeah she is. She's a tree out there and just 288 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: got filed down low. So we'll see. We got some 289 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: drama a little more than a minute, Togo. We got 290 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: ball on the docket, a lot of football to get 291 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: into coming up next.

He's Jeff Schwartz, I'm Brian no. 316 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: So we got a huge name. We got a big 317 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: name on the open market right now. Lebron James opts 318 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: out is eyeing a new contract with the Lakers. There 319 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: and Paul George he opted out. That's the big name 320 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: and let's start with Lebron for obvious reasons. Jeff, you 321 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: look at this and the news is that he's willing 322 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: to take a haircut contractually, right, He's willing to take 323 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: maybe a twenty million dollar haircut on his fifty ish 324 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: million dollar contract in order to get a veteran like 325 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: James Harden or Klay Thompson or our guy Big V 326 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: Jonas Valenchunis. And I don't know why more superstars don't 327 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: do this. If you look at Lebron, if he's able 328 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: to surround himself with a better supporting cast and they're 329 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: able to make a run, if they're able to mess 330 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: around and win a championship, he's gonna make so much 331 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: more money then he will be losing by leaving somewhere 332 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood of twenty million dollar dollars on the table. 333 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady did this for years. He didn't command top dollar, 334 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: and that certainly helped his pursuit of a championship year 335 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: after a year. I don't know why more superstars don't 336 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: do this. Patrick Mahomes could be commanding even more money 337 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: than he's gotten and he's left some on the table, 338 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: and I think that has helped him so Lebron, he's 339 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: at least willing to do this. We'll see what happens, though, 340 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: I think it's. 341 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: It's hard to take less money anytime in your life 342 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: for the good of the organization, you know, because a 343 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 2: lot of times coveries one is I think players don't 344 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: trust the organization to make those right decisions. Now Lebron 345 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 2: is doing this where he's saying, like, you bring me 346 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: the contract that someone's gonna sign that all do my 347 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: deal right, Like he's afforded the opportunity to do because 348 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 2: he's Lebron James, right, and everyone knows he's coming back 349 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: she no matter what price. So he can give himself 350 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: the opportunity to say, hey, man, show me the mid level. 351 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 2: And I believe that they're just going for a mid 352 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: level exemption, right, it's a one player that he would 353 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: like to add. Lebron will will adjust his contract accordingly. 354 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 2: Most of the time, you know your players are on 355 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 2: that situation right where if Patrick Mahomes says, all take less, 356 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: the Chiefs don't have to spend the money, right Like 357 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 2: they don't have to, they're obligated to do so, and 358 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: his deal would basically be taking less and then the 359 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 2: chiefs are proving to him, we're using your money to 360 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 2: buy their place. This is the reverse, right where Lebron's 361 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: gonna wait essentially until they decide whether or not they're 362 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 2: going to use that and who they're going to use 363 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 2: it on, and that deal has been done before it's 364 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 2: signing his contract. Right. It's just a big difference in 365 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: those two situations. But also to Brian, the job of 366 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: you know, your agent and the NFL PA or NBA 367 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 2: PA is to get the most money. You can't. Hey, 368 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: it looks good for you and you make the most money. 369 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: But also too, is that it advances the next contract. 370 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: Right now, that's a little bit different because their deals 371 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: are locked by the salary cap and different sort of 372 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: you know, max deals and bird rights all this stuff. Right, 373 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: it's more locked into place than the NFL. But you know, 374 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: if Patrick Mahomes only takes you know, forty two a 375 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 2: year and he can make fifty five a year, yeah, 376 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: then everyone else can be like, well, I'm not paying 377 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: two of fifty five, I'm paying two of forty one. 378 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: So that's that's why players and agents have a hard 379 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 2: time a green to take less money, because as Brady 380 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: took less money there at the end with the Patriot, 381 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: did they get him a wide receiver ever? 382 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 3: No? 383 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: So you know, like it's hard to do that because 384 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: you're not guaranteed that they're going to do that. 385 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, you're not guaranteed you're going to be surrounded 386 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: by the top players. But listen for superstars to be 387 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: willing to do that, they've been I'll put it this way. 388 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of star players that have not 389 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: been willing to do that where they have commanded top 390 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: dollar and sometimes we know this, you got to skimp. 391 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: If you're giving a huge in the NFL, you're giving 392 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: a huge, top of the market value type deal, you 393 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: got to skimp elsewhere on the roster. That's just the 394 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: way it goes. And yeah, some superstars have not been 395 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: willing to do that. So to at least hear that 396 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: Lebron's willing to do that, it could pay dividends. I 397 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: think this roster is far away from truly competing for 398 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: a championship, but being willing to do that. I mean, 399 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: it's great PR too, He's very PR savvy, But I 400 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: do think that it's it makes sense to at least 401 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: leave that possibility open by the way this WNBA game 402 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: is winding down. Great out of bounce play by Phoenix. 403 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: Down by three, they threw the ball to Britney Grinder 404 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: and her teammate kicked the ball over to Indiana and 405 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: that basically, you know, sealed the win for the Fever. 406 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: A nice win for them on the road. 407 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: He's a great win for them again, like kind of 408 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 2: like just kind of quiet going about it again in 409 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: that win. 410 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: Dude, Betting is so frustrating, Jeff, I have not I have. 411 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: No money anything right now, So it's not it's not fun. 412 00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: I don't know why we do it. 413 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: I don't either. I don't know. It's I think like 414 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: my mindset should be more realistic because when you bet, 415 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're the same way. You're like, oh I 416 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: like this bet, I'm gonna bet this and I'm gonna 417 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: have fun today, and it's the opposite. A lot of times. 418 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: It's it's like, hey, how could I get really frustrated today? Oh? 419 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: I know I could bet it's off and how it 420 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: works out? Right? I took Phoenix on the live line. 421 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: I'm like, I think Phoenix is coming back. Fever had 422 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: a huge third quarter. They're gonna punch back, and they did, 423 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: and then they stopped punching and they lost the game. Meanwhile, 424 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: yesterday I had the Detroit Tigers, thought it was a 425 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: good line. They're up five to two, Jeff. Somehow they 426 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: lost in extras six to five. And then today, just 427 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: to twist the knife, they're leading seven to nothing. Where 428 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: it's like, I don't have a nickel on the Tigers today. 429 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: I was betting on them. Yesterday they had a three 430 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: run lead late and somehow screwed it all up. It's 431 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: I don't know why we do it. You said it best. 432 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: I don't know why. 433 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: It's not It's not fun. Nothing about it is fun. 434 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 2: We need Hoby, we do it anyways, I have no 435 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: many I think it's the first time we've done a 436 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: radio show in a long time where I have nothing 437 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 2: on anything right now. 438 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: Well, it's it's early, you know, it's very early. Right now. 439 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: I'm already out on baseball. I'm aready done with baseball today. 440 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: I had no w I said soccer ready today, like 441 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 2: I'm I had a double chance on Slovenia England hit. 442 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 2: I didn't know what a double chance was talking we 443 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 2: could go, but I'm using to my advantage nice. 444 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: You don't have anything on the Rockies game. You normally 445 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: fade that. 446 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're playing the other team. 447 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so. 448 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 2: I can't I say, not that serious. 449 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 3: I know. 450 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: Oh man, that's not great, right. 451 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: No, it is. We'll get to the other big name 452 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: on the open market and some rumors that are swirling. 453 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: First though, Martin Weiss with us this afternoon. 454 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 5: Martin, what's going on, man, Rockies White Sox game. I mean, 455 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 5: don't get me wrong, two teams that stink, but it 456 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 5: has been wild five to four right now on the 457 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 5: top of the fifth, fourteenth inning in the net game 458 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 5: that you're talking about. So, Jeff, if you had bet 459 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 5: on it, you would be stressing out majorly because why 460 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 5: are they playing fourteen innings between these two teams? 461 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 6: And you just said it, Brian. 462 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 5: The Tigers seven Angels nothing in the fifth inning, Minnesota 463 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 5: with a three to thing lead over Seattle in the fifth, 464 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 5: Oakland and Arizona tied one apiece in the sixth, and 465 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 5: the Giants over the Dodgers right now, nine to one 466 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 5: in the sixth inning, and the WNBA the. 467 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 6: Fever beat the Mercury eighty eight to eighty two. After that, 468 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 6: soccer play that they called. 469 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 5: On the inbounds where Britney Grinder caught it and then 470 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 5: kicked it right to Indiana. That pretty much did seal 471 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 5: the game for Indiana. They win by six. Links pinked 472 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 5: the sky seventy to sixty two. Angel Reese made history 473 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 5: most consecutive double doubles in a season, with ten so 474 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 5: far in a row, finishing with ten points and seventeen rebounds. 475 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 6: And it was a little bit of drama. 476 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 5: She hit the last free throw with like three seconds 477 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 5: left on the clock to go ahead and get that 478 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 5: tenth point. Round of sixteen has kicked off. At the 479 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 5: Euro twenty twenty four, England defeated Slovakia. 480 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 6: Two to one. 481 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 5: Spain beat Georgia four to one. Andy Murray had spinal 482 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 5: surgery on June twenty second. He's trying to play Wimbledon, 483 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 5: which starts tomorrow. Says he plans to undergo medical tests, 484 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 5: play another practice set and make a decision. 485 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: In the evening. 486 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 5: Now, the NBA Detroit Pistons are hiring former Cabs head 487 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 5: coach JB. Bickerstaff as the franchise's next coach. According to ESPN, 488 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 5: it's a five year deal and the NBA free agency. 489 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 5: We'll have some updates on that coming up soon as 490 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 5: it the windows open in about twenty eight minutes. 491 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 6: Brian and Jeff back to you guys. 492 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Martin. It's Jeff Schwartz and Brian 493 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: Know here with you on Fox Sports Radio. How about 494 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: Paul George on the open market? So the rumor mill 495 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: swirling here, Jeff. According to Chris Haynes, there's growing optimism 496 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: that the Sixers could land Paul Georgian free agency. 497 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: I think that's the team that I think feels most 498 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: likely right to get in. That's the team people have 499 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 2: talked about is wanting Paul George. I don't know that 500 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: that changed your thoughts about them. 501 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I like Paul George and around Embiid and MAXI. 502 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: It'd be interesting certainly in the East, it would make 503 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: them interesting. But I mean, look, it's one of these 504 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: deals with Paul George. We've been interested for quite a 505 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: while and it just hasn't turned into anything. So the 506 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: Clippers run. A lot of that had to do with 507 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: Kawhi and his injuries, but man, a lot of high 508 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: hopes in clipper Land and you got a whole lot 509 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: of nothing there with Paul George and Kawhi. 510 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: No, I don't know it. It feels very Clippers to 511 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 2: have that happen. I'm curious if George is the mid 512 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 2: level exemption guy the Lakers want. Probably not going to happen, 513 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 2: but curious if does anyways, right. 514 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, uh, our trusted producer Bo Benson is what 515 00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: he's got a thought on all. 516 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 7: No, he just said there's growing optimism. Do you think 517 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 7: that's related at all to Joel Embiid practically flirting with 518 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 7: Paul George on National TV a couple of weeks ago 519 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 7: during the NBA Finals or nah? 520 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, well it could have something. I feel like that. 521 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: This has been talked about though as a as a 522 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 2: pair for yeah a while now. 523 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 7: NBA free agency is just so funny because, like like yesterday, 524 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 7: for example, you have Lebron could take a pay cut, 525 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 7: right and then two minutes after that, oh, Clay Thompson's 526 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 7: probably leaving Golden State, and then all of a sudden, 527 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 7: like could Clay Thompson And it's just also telegraphed. It's 528 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 7: so funny to me, Well. 529 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 2: Because these guys have the same four agents and exactly 530 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 2: their friends they talk all the time. It's not anything 531 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: different than you know what the NFL haves. They just 532 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: felt pretend to care about tampering. 533 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's it too. Like you saw the 534 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 7: Sixers leak a couple of weeks ago, like, oh, they're 535 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 7: not that interested in Paul George. I think they just 536 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 7: didn't want to get hit with any tampering investigation. 537 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 2: Tampering is it's very silly that that that's something that 538 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: seems to people in you know, seem to actually care 539 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 2: about in the I mean, come on, we all know. 540 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: It's happening, right, Yeah, it's weird, right, it's a it's 541 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: just a league thing. It's strange, right, It's kind of 542 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 1: like speeding on the highway. We know what happens all 543 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: the time, and every now and then they'll be like, 544 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: all right, let's pull over this random guy, Like that's 545 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: what tampering is in the NBA. In the NFL, it 546 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: happens all the time, and then just selectively they'll be like, 547 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: you know what, let's crack down on the Falcons and 548 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: them talking to Kirk Cousins. It's just strange. 549 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: It's never made sense. Why tampering is you know, so 550 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 2: worried about it, But in this in the NBA. Obviously, 551 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 2: the tampering is NonStop. I mean again, we're going to 552 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: get this is going to start, you know, in a 553 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 2: couple of minutes at sixth Eastern, and we're gonna get 554 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: the Wojes tweets as we do, the schefter tweets right 555 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 2: like so and so is signed with what so and so? 556 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 2: Like how do you know that already? Yeah? Everyone knows already, 557 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: that's right. 558 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. How long once free agency begins? How long until 559 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: we have our first agreement? You know, are we talking already? 560 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 2: I guess we've already had players re signing to their 561 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 2: own teams. As far as actual new contracts, I would 562 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 2: say immediately, it's right six o'clock. 563 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: What's the over under like five and a half minutes? 564 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: Oh well no, immediately right away? Yeah, right away? 565 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, Paul George will have taken his meetings with 566 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 7: the Clippers Sixers in Magic within sixty seconds of free 567 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 7: agency opening. 568 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: Is this like a UFC thing, you know, when there's 569 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: a knockout in the first nineteen seconds or something like that? 570 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: Is that NBA free agency? 571 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: Do you know what I think? Do you know? I 572 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: think we'll have a deals done immediately No, I. 573 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: Think you might be right. I think you might be right, 574 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: But because it's happened before, Uh yeah, I don't think. 575 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: I think. I think we're going to immediately get to that. 576 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: We're going to get these WOJE bombs wherever you want 577 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: to use shams like, we're gonna get people signed sign 578 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 2: up already. 579 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: By the way, Paul George, he's reportedly going to meet 580 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: with the Clippers, the Sixers, and Orlando supposed to meet 581 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: with the Magic. Do you think of Paul George maybe 582 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: with a Paolo Bancaro in company over there in Orlando? 583 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 2: Jay chasing a ring at this point doesn't feel like 584 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 2: a very ring chasing to me. 585 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: Orlando would not be ring chasing. Yeah, I hear you. 586 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: But at this point it for no state tax. 587 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. It's the no state tax contract, 588 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: right basically, Yeah, going to Orlando. Yeah. It's funny too 589 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: because Paul George and Klay Thompson are only a few 590 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: months apart in age. They're both thirty six years old, 591 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: and Clay he's a handful of months older. Doesn't Klay 592 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: Thompson feel way older than Paul George. Like my theory 593 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: is because Klay Thompson's been in the playoffs so often. 594 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: We've seen him in the playoffs a year after year 595 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: after year except this year, right, But uh, and I 596 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: think that when you've seen him win four championships and 597 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,719 Speaker 1: go deep in the playoffs all those times, I think 598 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: he feels way older, yeah than Paul George doesn't need. 599 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: To you, he does. Plus, I think his body kind 600 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 2: of wearing down a little bit more than you know then, 601 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 2: you know, Uh, I think players of the same age 602 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 2: a little bit. Right, He's injured and injured and things 603 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: like that that we look at and and maybe think 604 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 2: he's he's much older than he is. I mean the injury, 605 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: you know, the way we feel the injuries plays, I 606 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 2: think a big role. 607 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: In that, right, Yeah, that that is in that's part 608 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: of it as well. But it's weird too because Clay 609 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: missed basically two full seasons with those injuries with the 610 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: al Yeah, and he still feels older to Maybe. 611 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: I'm curious about his landing spot because you know, he's 612 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 2: more of a three, right, like as far as your 613 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: third option, your third scoring option, and I need to 614 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: be pretty beneficial. He could just spot up and shoot 615 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 2: right as sort of to to a contender, like the 616 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 2: Lakers need someone Clay's not as goods used to be. 617 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 2: The Lakers deciminately need someone that just shoot the ball 618 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 2: in the corner. 619 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, if he could do that, if he could 620 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: be your just spot up and drain three's type guy, Yeah, 621 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: that could be a nice little role for him. So 622 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see where he lands as well. 623 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 2: Is look, freidency is what. It's twenty two minutes away now, 624 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 2: so we'll see if who wins the wager, Brian, whether 625 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: or not you know I NBA very quickly, guys. Two 626 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 2: day draft, really is that something that we needed? Well? 627 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 2: That draft? 628 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: My whole thing is, if you're gonna do two days, okay, 629 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: why the hell is the second day starting at four 630 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: pm Eastern time? Why that's one pm out west? People 631 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: are working, Like why would you have the draft on 632 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: during the middle of the work day. Put it in 633 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: primetime if you're gonna do it for two days? 634 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it just made especially like this year, you're like, yeah, 635 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: one round is pretty much okay, We're okayeh, one round. 636 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: But if there was ever a time where the second 637 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: round had something to look forward to, it was this 638 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: year with Bronnie James and you started at one pm 639 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: Pacific time. That just made no sense to me whatsoever 640 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: if you space it out. Okay, but like, think about 641 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: the NFL. They have rounds two and three on Friday, 642 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: and it's in primetime. They don't have it at one 643 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: pm Pacific time and it's the second round. It's just stupid. 644 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: NFL would never do something like that. 645 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 2: They would never do something like that. So I was 646 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: surprised to see you that was a two day event. 647 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 2: And maybe but Bronnie was a pick to the end 648 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: of it either. It was just it just was sort 649 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: of like there. Yeah. I also I also read a 650 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 2: post like a like a draft grade sort of article Brian, 651 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 2: And Yeah, the person that I read it that they 652 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: had they they gave no grade lower than a B 653 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 2: minus for the entire NBA draft for all sixty picks, 654 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 2: which is just hilarious. Can you reach an NFL draft 655 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 2: and every draft pick was just a be a B 656 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: minus better, You'd be like, Ah, I'm not sure I 657 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 2: trust that person. 658 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: It's like, there's so many international players. I think some 659 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: of that factors in where you're like, I'm supposed to 660 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: be doing these draft assessment grades and I just learned 661 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: of this dude last week.

Just no one's ever seen play like Wemby. 669 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: We saw like we've seen how it's Wenby for years. 670 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 2: Everyone knew who he is. You couldn't pick the top 671 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 2: two guys out of a lineup. I might actually get 672 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: pick Reed Shepherd out of a lineup unless you were like, 673 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 2: unless you were like like a savant of college basketball. 674 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: I doesn't feel good for you, doesn't feel good for 675 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: your I would go with the first half overs for 676 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: Kentucky's team total every now and then I knew Reed Shepherd. 677 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: I still can't pronounce the name of the dude who 678 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: went number one overall. That's insane. He's the number one 679 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: overall pick and most NBA fans can't pronounce his name. 680 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: That's crazy.

Not a baseball expert, but two 705 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 2: hundred typically is is a number you want to be. 706 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 2: There are many times that I need something to happen 707 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 2: in a baseball game positively for me. And I will 708 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 2: look up at the screen of the baseball game I'm 709 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 2: watching and the guy that's hitting that he based he 710 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 2: from his batting one fifty four in June, and you're like, 711 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: I just I wish it was better.

Yeah, Arizona. So 721 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: it's one one heading into the bottom of the seventh. 722 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: Arizona is minus two ten on the money line. You 723 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: can get Oakland at plus one sixty if you're feeling saucy. Now, warning, 724 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: fair warning, the bets lately have been freaking terrible today. Okay, 725 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm gonna do it. 726 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 2: I'm actually adding up. I'm actually as in the breaks here. 727 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 2: You know, I keep my spreadsheet. I'm adding up.

Man. 733 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I did. 734 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 2: I did have a little, a little Phillies money line 735 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 2: today when they were losing. So I should have made 736 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 2: at a little bit back. 737 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: But they were down big, they were down like six 738 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: to two. 739 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 2: I want to say I saw it for the month, 740 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 2: but I took a good hit. It took good hit 741 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,479 Speaker 2: the last three days. Yeah, but that's that's gambling rights partan. 742 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 2: You have to stick with you if you if you 743 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 2: have like a method, you's gotta stick with it. 744 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: Absolutely you do. Okay, So the drama going on here 745 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: for a story, let's do it. JaMarcus Russell, Oh no, 746 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: I saw this. Yes, former number one overall pick. He's 747 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: been fired as a high school football coach. Why bad record? No. 748 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: He's accused Jeff of taking a seventy four thousand dollars 749 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: check that was meant as a donation. He's accused of 750 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: doing that. He's out of a gig as a high 751 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: school football coach is not yeah, not. 752 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 2: Not great, right, idea not ideal, not ideal. Look, he 753 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 2: should have enough money after his you know, even though 754 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 2: he wasn't a great career, he got he was the 755 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 2: old old system, right, Brian. He was getting a lot 756 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 2: of money back then, and it's unfortunate that he's got 757 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 2: a situation where he needs this money to, you know, 758 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 2: to essentially, I guess no survive paid bills. Less than ideal, 759 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 2: but not great to steal from your high school man. 760 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 2: But you're and coach. 761 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, great, Like you said, that was before the rookie 762 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: wage scale. So he was drafted in seven, right, I believe, 763 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: and the rookie wage scale I think it kicked in 764 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. 765 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, the twenty eleven CBA is when it started. 766 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when Cam Newton was the number one overall pick. 767 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, JaMarcus got huge money. So to your point, 768 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: he shouldn't be in a position where he has to 769 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 1: steal money from its high school that he's coaching. That's 770 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: what he's accused of. The other drama here, the ongoing saga, Jeff, 771 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: can we please make it end? With forty nine ers 772 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: wide receiver Brandon Nayyuk. He is looking for a contract extension, 773 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: and it has just been drama, drama, drama, drama, drama. 774 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: It's the Niners are actively seeking a trade, and brand 775 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: Yuke like, wait a minute, I thought they weren't seeking 776 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: a trade. At some point, he's probably gonna get his 777 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: contract extension as a member of the Niners. That's what 778 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm expecting. But we are taking the long scenic route 779 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: filled with drama on the way to that destination. 780 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I uh, this is interesting to me, 781 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 2: and I don't know if you have enough time to 782 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 2: get into this now. I wonder if the Niners are 783 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 2: thicking to themselves. We can't pay everybody Block Pretty's up 784 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 2: for extension after this season, Trent Williams, the left tackles 785 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 2: getting paid, their tight ends getting paid, their running backs 786 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 2: getting paid, their other wide receivers getting paid. They have 787 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 2: guys some defense getting paid. They need to pay other 788 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 2: guys on defense, and maybe they're just like drawing the 789 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,919 Speaker 2: line with like brand Ay, We're just drawing the line, buddy, 790 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 2: You're not getting Judge Jefferson deal, Like we just can't 791 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 2: swing that right now. You're just not getting I wonder 792 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 2: if if the line is being drawn right now with 793 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 2: their future and who they're willing to pay to keep 794 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 2: on the team, it could be. 795 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: It could be. And that's what's interesting with these contracts 796 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: and nego sociations, is only a little bit of it 797 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: leaks out publicly, you know, a very little bit. But 798 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense. We're only hearing from 799 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: Brandon Aiyuk when he's throwing stuff out there either on 800 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: ig his storylines going on, but we're not hearing from 801 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: the organization. The organization could be their position could be 802 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: exactly what you just explained, Like, bro, we got a 803 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: lot of players to pay, and we can't give you 804 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: top of the market level deal here. That's a reasonable position. 805 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: But they're not gonna state that publicly. 806 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 2: The Niners have no reasons to negotiating public It's not 807 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,760 Speaker 2: he's on the team no matter what this season if 808 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 2: he doesn't even like if he doesn't like it, he's 809 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 2: going to training campus for the team. So the Niners 810 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 2: just saying, hey man, we're just gonna stay out this. 811 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 2: We're not gonna get it to a pensing contest on 812 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 2: the internet. Yeah. 813 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a smart way to do it, all right, 814 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: coming up next, an interesting prediction about the top offenses 815 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: in the NFL this season.

The better? 829 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 2: You were talking about new We want new new teams 830 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 2: and new deals. 831 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: We need a Yeah, we need a player going to 832 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: a new team team. 833 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, but Heyklay Thompson signed, they will sign 834 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 2: and trade for Clay Thompson'll work with them to sign 835 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 2: and trade. 836 00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 1: Now, that would be crazy if it's like a sign 837 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: and trade right here, they're. 838 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 2: Gonna work on a sign and trade option for him. Look, 839 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 2: Chris Paul's a fast I won't use Chris Paul with 840 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 2: this even like Kevin Durant and James Harden, Like, it's 841 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 2: it's fascinating to me how many teams these Hall of 842 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 2: famers are gonna end up playing on. Yeah, you just 843 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 2: don't see that happen in other sports where these legacy 844 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 2: Hall of famers and it looks it's not it happens. 845 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 2: You know, Jerry Rice and the Seahawks uniform is weird, 846 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 2: but that doesn't happen very often in like, you know 847 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 2: a lot of these sports where guys are playing four 848 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 2: or five six teams that are Hall of famers, And 849 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,839 Speaker 2: Chris Paul has now been, off the top of my head, right, 850 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 2: he's been this is this fifth team? Is that right? 851 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: So it's got to be in the neighborhood right where 852 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: he's Uh, well, you go through all of it with 853 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: and with the New Orleans, New. 854 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 2: Orleans Clippers, Yeah, Warriors, Warriors. Yeah, we're missing further missing one. 855 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 2: I mean, we should probably just look this up. But 856 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 2: like the point is, you know, it's just it's there's 857 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 2: it's just a lot of teams, superstars, these Hall of 858 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 2: famers have played on, right, Brian, And yeah, it's so unique. 859 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 2: It makes me and it's not probably fair. 860 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: To them, but we forgot one Houston. 861 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,399 Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, it does. See she's seven my math 862 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 2: right there. It does feel to me. And while these 863 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 2: players are Hall of famers and some of the best 864 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,320 Speaker 2: to ever do, it, to me tarnishes their legacy a 865 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,280 Speaker 2: little bit to play on so many teams because they're 866 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 2: not Look, Lebron's played on not only believe or not, 867 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 2: it's three teams, right, but he did. He went to 868 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 2: Cleveland twice. 869 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 1: Right. 870 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 2: People always throw Lebron back at me, and okay, fine, 871 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 2: but Lebron, you know he was specifically going to win 872 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: championships in these places. I don't know if that's what 873 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 2: Chris Paul's exactly doing. I think maybe he thinks that 874 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,399 Speaker 2: that's the case. But to me, to me personally, whether 875 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 2: it's right or wrong, feels a little wrong to feel 876 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 2: this way, But Briant does feel like a tarnishes their 877 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 2: legacy a little bit to plan so many teams just 878 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 2: sort of one year deals and not being able to 879 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 2: find a home at the end of your career. Uh, 880 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 2: maybe you don't feel that way, but it feels that 881 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 2: way to me. No, I hear you. 882 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: It's I never really thought about it like that. But 883 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,879 Speaker 1: when you look at Chris Paul, I think Chris Paul 884 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant both really odd career paths. Where if 885 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,800 Speaker 1: you look at let's just start with Chris Paul, because 886 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: he was wighd by the Warriors, he's going to be 887 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: on another team, so Hornets, Clippers, Rockets, thunder Suns, Warriors, 888 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 1: and now another team that would be a seventh team, 889 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,439 Speaker 1: assuming he goes to a team other than the six 890 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: he's played for before, right, you know, so seven teams 891 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 1: in his NBA career. I think with Chris Paul, it's 892 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: less about the movement and it's more about just hasn't 893 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: won a championship, and it's just it sucks to see 894 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: this end of his career because he was such a 895 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,919 Speaker 1: special player and now he's just these are his final 896 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: days in the NBA, you know, and he's half the 897 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,280 Speaker 1: player he used to be. With Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant 898 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: is one of the better players in the history of 899 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,359 Speaker 1: the NBA and he's had just this odd career path 900 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: where we don't know if he's still going to remain 901 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: with the Suns or be on another team in this 902 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: next season. So that career path has been weird. Where look, 903 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 1: when he went to the Warriors and won those two championships, 904 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:51,280 Speaker 1: he was out standing and no one cares. Nobody cares 905 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: because he joined the team that beat him and we 906 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: all know that. But these last couple of trips with Brooklyn, 907 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 1: with Phoenix, now maybe another team, that's where it gets 908 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 1: a little bit odd with KD. So I put it 909 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 1: that way where I don't know that I lose respect 910 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: for a great players career if they've moved around a 911 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: little bit more, but it feels a little bit odd, 912 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: feels a little bit different. But I would say for 913 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 1: Chris Paul and for KD, at least towards like the 914 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: recent years, a lot of a lot more movement for 915 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: top players than we're used to. 916 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 2: For sure, What is the what's the NFL equivalent of 917 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 2: of Chris Paul? Like is it like what quarterback? Would 918 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 2: you say? As a man, Chris Paul? 919 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: You need someone that's on his level, right, like as 920 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: good You're not gonna see a really good quarterback move around. 921 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 2: That's my point. Like, what if Dak Prescott played on 922 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 2: six teams? You'd be like, oh, right, like that's that's weird, right, 923 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,399 Speaker 2: Why why why can't you stick with the team? Why 924 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 2: is it what? And you would we would have many 925 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 2: many hours of debate. It's over Dak Prescott's personality traits 926 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 2: and why can't stick with the team. That's true And 927 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,919 Speaker 2: in the NBA it feels very normalized now when again, 928 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't grow up with this. Obviously the 929 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 2: game is changing mightily. Since I'm not saying the game 930 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 2: should go back to the you know, the way it 931 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 2: used to be or whatnot, but it just it. It 932 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 2: does make me question players' careers when they're on their 933 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 2: seventh team and their first ballot Hall of Famers. 934 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be a guy like Ryan Fitzpatrick played for 935 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 1: a ton of teams. But he's Ryan Fitzpatrick, you know 936 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, yeah, he's a journeyman, backup, spot 937 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: starter type guy. He's not, say like Matthew Stafford. Matthew 938 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: Stafford is a really good quarterback. And I would say 939 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: Chris paul Ish, right, Like Chris paul Ish in the NFL. 940 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 1: He's played for two teams like Lions and Rams. 941 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 2: That's it. 942 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: That's the resume. He's not gonna be on the Bengals 943 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 1: followed by the Browns following. It just doesn't happen in 944 00:47:58,480 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: the NFL with top quarterback. 945 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 2: And some of that, by the way, is that the 946 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 2: NBA is when more prayer U prayer. It might be 947 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 2: prayer friendly, it's more player friendly, right, Like the players 948 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,240 Speaker 2: are able to move a little bit more more freedom. 949 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 2: It's more accepted the player movement right in the NFL, 950 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 2: you know, just personally, and I look, I was on 951 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 2: four teams in four years. It's really hard to do that. 952 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 2: It's just it's mentally grinding, it's physically grinding you. It's 953 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 2: just a whole, you know, uproot of your life and routines. 954 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 2: It's hard to do that. And maybe the NBA is 955 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 2: just just more money. He's gotta be Chris Paul's leaving. 956 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 2: But can you get thirty million dollars from someone else? 957 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,280 Speaker 2: Saw like he's gonna be Like I was getting minimum salary. 958 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 2: I'm not saying I was struggling for in life, but 959 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:44,879 Speaker 2: it's a little bit different here in thirty million dollars 960 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 2: a year to play one year in a new city 961 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,480 Speaker 2: versus getting you know, five fifty a year, right, So, 962 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 2: I don't know, I just don't know how they just 963 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 2: do it every year with continuing to move and change 964 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,280 Speaker 2: and change locations and make new friends and meet new teammates. 965 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 2: And sure it's a lot of mercenary for higher and 966 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 2: sometimes that can be really difficult in these guys. 967 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the thing, especially toward the end of 968 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,720 Speaker 1: an NBA deal, That's where it differs in the NFL 969 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: is the guaranteed money. When Chris Paul signed a pretty 970 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,759 Speaker 1: big contract extension with the Suns, that's where in the 971 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 1: later years of that deal, that's where you get all 972 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 1: the movement. That's where he's on like, you know, three 973 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 1: teams in three years, and where it gets kind of 974 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: goofy down the stretch where a player is getting paid 975 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,879 Speaker 1: way more than he's producing and it just turns into 976 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: like a bargaining chip type contract. Yeah, that's where it's 977 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 1: different than the NFL for sure, because you just don't 978 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,719 Speaker 1: get that type of guaranteed money, right like at the 979 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 1: end of a player's contract in the NFL. It's it's 980 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: just not like that it's front loaded. 981 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 2: Can Chris Paul help a team win a championship? 982 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: I mean it would have to be a star studded team. 983 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: At this point, he's just he's a role player. He's 984 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: not special, he's not close to dynamic. He's just. Yeah, 985 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: he's a guy that could get a couple of minutes, 986 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: you know, and uh you know, and he could be 987 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: in the rotation.

Does 1046 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 2: that make sense? 1047 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, it's just an extension. It's the same thing, but. 1048 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,880 Speaker 2: They say the NFL makes it very clear like this 1049 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 2: is an extension, an extension, Right, it feels like there's 1050 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 2: a new here. It feels like they're they're they're labeling 1051 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 2: a little differently. 1052 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, in any event.

I'm Malcolm, I'm quite quite 1056 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,959 Speaker 2: honest with you. I'm surprised there's not more. I missed 1057 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 2: the days of Mark Cuban going to like DeAndre Jordan's 1058 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 2: house and camping on to find. 1059 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: Maybe they're wiser now, Jeff, maybe they're like, you know what, 1060 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 1: let's wait fifteen minutes and then they won't suspect us 1061 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: of tampering here when we sign a guy from a 1062 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: different team. 1063 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 2: Klay Thompson plans to have discussions with the Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers, 1064 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:00,360 Speaker 2: and seventy six sirs. 1065 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 1: Okay, hmm, Mavericks.

Lebron's healthy, a D's healthy, the middle of 1082 00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 2: exemption plus the draft pick. It's a It's not a 1083 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 2: bad five, it's not bad, but. 1084 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 1: Freaking loaded.

So I was like, I got 1123 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: to get in shape. 1124 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,319 Speaker 8: And uh, yeah, I'm down about two weight two ten 1125 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,000 Speaker 8: something like that, and another ten pounds would be good. 1126 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 1: But as we get older, man, you really feel it. 1127 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,880 Speaker 8: And I've learned that you don't really hold up physically 1128 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,120 Speaker 8: well if you don't, if you, if you, if you 1129 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,839 Speaker 8: can't make it easier on your bones, are. 1130 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,600 Speaker 2: You gonna are we gonna hear?

Oh oh yeah that or you know. 1133 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 8: By the way, like be Ben Simmons, you know, you 1134 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 8: see the videos of the guys in the off season. 1135 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:30,400 Speaker 1: Like it was funny, Jeff. 1136 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:31,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if you did. 1137 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you did this, but when you 1138 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 1: were playing, but you. 1139 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 8: Notice like the quarterback will have his teammates out there 1140 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 8: where he lives and they'll throw the ball and fans 1141 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 8: go out of their minds sticking like this is some 1142 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 8: kind of impact. I've talked to coaches about it. They go, 1143 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 8: you know what, it's better than not doing anything, But 1144 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 8: they say it don't. They generally say it's very little impact. 1145 00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,439 Speaker 2: I have a hard take on this, Adam. Where our 1146 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 2: job is to make sure that we can play football, 1147 00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 2: that basically means taking care of our bodies. I don't 1148 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 2: think it's anything cool that we work out, like it's 1149 00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 2: our literal job, like to just work out two days, 1150 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 2: two hours a day, do some rehab, and just don't 1151 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 2: eat terribly so you're not fat and out of shape 1152 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 2: and bloating, you know, Like it's like that to me 1153 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,480 Speaker 2: is not rising grind to work out, Like what like 1154 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 2: what people have real jobs where they're like it's nine 1155 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 2: to five jobs. I think it's so funny to know, 1156 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,720 Speaker 2: I get fans eat up and stuff. But I've never 1157 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 2: been impressed when athletes post workout videos. That's that's our 1158 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 2: our job is. 1159 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,520 Speaker 8: It should be doing that right in all sports, by 1160 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 8: the way, not just NBA or NFL. I mean what 1161 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 8: I mean, what are you doing? 1162 00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 1: So? 1163 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I now, But I will tell you when 1164 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 8: I first started covering the league in two thousand from 1165 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,479 Speaker 8: a full time basis, players are still coming to training 1166 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 8: camp to get in shape. Now that would change, but 1167 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 8: it was still happening because I know, talking to a 1168 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 8: lot of guys who play in the eighties and nineties, 1169 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 8: you totally, oh, yeah, would come in in February, like 1170 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,959 Speaker 8: they can't. The offseason programs would start earlier February or March, 1171 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 8: whereas we start now around middle of April. It's really 1172 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 8: it's really funny how that works. And you cannot no more, 1173 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 8: no longer. Could you just come in and show up 1174 00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,560 Speaker 8: in April and not be in shape. 1175 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 2: I h fault up on that. Like when I got 1176 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 2: an NFL we were in the middle of March. Was 1177 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 2: when we came back, right, so we was pre to 1178 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,000 Speaker 2: and yeah, we we came back. I used to stay 1179 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 2: in Charlotte to work out our Our strength coach was like, yeah, 1180 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 2: like we're like just run a little bit lightlifting, like 1181 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 2: we'll start in March. Like you don't have to show 1182 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 2: up in shape now. If you don't show up in shape, 1183 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 2: you're looked at in negatively, right, like you didn't do 1184 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,840 Speaker 2: the job in the off season. Adam if the nfl 1185 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 2: PA NFL approved this new offseason, which I think is 1186 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 2: just atrocious planning by the players. Does this help the game? 1187 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,760 Speaker 2: I know players want to win quote unquote win. I 1188 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 2: think it's a terrible idea. I don't think players agree 1189 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 2: with that. I don't think the report is accurate. What's 1190 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 2: your take on this report a couple of weeks ago 1191 00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 2: that the nfl PA and NFL might modify the off 1192 00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 2: seasons the program right. 1193 00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 8: By the way, the report from NFL Network, it's that 1194 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 8: the NFLPA is going to submit this proposal. 1195 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Like as you know Jeff in the eleven CBA. 1196 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:07,880 Speaker 8: This is when this all started, when players made it 1197 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:12,800 Speaker 8: clear they don't want the coaches to work them in 1198 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 8: January and February, March, April. They gotta wait now if 1199 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 8: we don't have Junota. See here's there are a couple 1200 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,440 Speaker 8: things which we didn't talk about the last time we 1201 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,520 Speaker 8: talked about this on FSR. First of all, I get 1202 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 8: if you don't have OTAs, you got to figure out 1203 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,439 Speaker 8: what the workout bonus is going to be like, because 1204 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 8: a lot of veterans have workoup bonuses, and some, by 1205 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 8: the way, aren't like an a grand Some are like 1206 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,400 Speaker 8: a million, two million, three million. That stuff means something. 1207 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 8: I'm interested to see how that would work. But if 1208 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 8: this passes, there's no off season, you show up in July. 1209 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 8: Now that what I understand is also i'd looked into this, 1210 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 8: there still would be a five day acclamation period. 1211 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,200 Speaker 2: So here's what that means. 1212 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 8: The NFL and their health and safety people found that 1213 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 8: a lot of the soft tissue stuff happens very early 1214 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 8: in training camp because if you're if you haven't done 1215 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 8: much or you've been away for six to seven weeks, 1216 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 8: and you start ramping it up immediately, it's hard for 1217 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,360 Speaker 8: your body to adjust. So they found if you wait 1218 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 8: five days and are very light in training camp, they're 1219 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,479 Speaker 8: less strains. The data that they've shown me completely backs 1220 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 8: us up that would have to happen. If this ever passes, 1221 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 8: you still have to have that. So you're looking at 1222 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 8: maybe possibly Jeff. You know, if you want to know 1223 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,280 Speaker 8: who's going to be winning jobs and so forth, it's 1224 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 8: still going to be mid July and you won't know. 1225 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,000 Speaker 8: We talked about this last time on FSR. We discuss 1226 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,320 Speaker 8: this situation if they don't have access to the players 1227 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,760 Speaker 8: in February March April and May if you don't have 1228 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 8: to show up and June. By the way, you have 1229 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 8: no idea what kind of shift these guys are in. 1230 01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 1: He's Adam Kaplan FSR NFL insider here on Fox Sports Radio. 1231 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,680 Speaker 1: Who do you think gets a contract extension first cap? 1232 01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,600 Speaker 1: Would you go to a tongue of Iiloa or would 1233 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,040 Speaker 1: you go with Brandon ny Yuk with the Niners or 1234 01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,240 Speaker 1: somebody else there with Ayuk? 1235 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:10,040 Speaker 8: It's kind of interesting. So the Niners they won him back. 1236 01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 8: I mean, he's under contract, he's on a fifth year option. 1237 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 8: The problem is at Sea they were unable to get 1238 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,480 Speaker 8: this deal done in March, and then aj Brown got 1239 01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,920 Speaker 8: thirty two million a year. That didn't help, and Ceedee 1240 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 8: Lamb is going to get his should be get done 1241 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 8: before training camp justin Jefferson gets you know, thirty five 1242 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 8: plus a year. That's actually like defensive end money, edge 1243 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:34,960 Speaker 8: rusher money. And the Niners that see, My understanding is this, 1244 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:36,760 Speaker 8: it's not that they don't want to extend. They think 1245 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:40,800 Speaker 8: he's a great player, it's he'll never be able to 1246 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 8: put up a hundred catches the season, one hundred and 1247 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,280 Speaker 8: ten because of Deebo Samuel, because of George Kittle because 1248 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 8: of Christian McCaffery. Oh, by the way, they just paid 1249 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 8: Juwan Jennings their third receiver. Oh, by the way, they 1250 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 8: just drafted receiver in the first round. That surprised a 1251 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,440 Speaker 8: lot of people. Ricky Piersoll, they can't justify giving them 1252 01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:58,600 Speaker 8: thirty two plus million a year. 1253 01:02:58,640 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 1: They're not there yet. 1254 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 2: I I get that. Now. 1255 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,320 Speaker 8: I'll tell you what if Brandon Ayuk is with the Bills. 1256 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 8: He's catching and hundred and ten past this season, but 1257 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 8: right now they don't want to trade him. 1258 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 2: There's reports that the Dolphins want to give to a 1259 01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,040 Speaker 2: tongue of I Low a fair market deal. Well, the 1260 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 2: fair market deal is just the next deal. Is this 1261 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 2: a sign that Dolphins are not totally sold on paying 1262 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 2: to the next deal, right, the next deal after what 1263 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 2: you know what Trevor Lawrence got from Jacksonville. 1264 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, but I would also tell you I don't think 1265 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 8: there were Jared goff Is yet. Jared Goff got a 1266 01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,960 Speaker 8: very good extension. Fact, his mega deal with the Rams 1267 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 8: was kind of historic, by the way, in structure, and 1268 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 8: if you look at this one fifty three million a year, 1269 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 8: I don't get the feeling I get is they'd like 1270 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,480 Speaker 8: to be around around where Jalen Hurts is fifty one 1271 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,680 Speaker 8: million a year. The guarantee structure is very team friendly. 1272 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,160 Speaker 8: Of course, it depends how the player plays. But you know, 1273 01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,840 Speaker 8: on the surface, the Eagles felt they did well with 1274 01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,480 Speaker 8: that with that Jalen Hurts extension. They're not there yet, 1275 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 8: but Jeff, as you know as a former player, teams 1276 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:05,920 Speaker 8: will not show their hand for the most part on 1277 01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 8: the mega mega deals where you see all the other 1278 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,760 Speaker 8: deals out there that are done until there's a deadline. 1279 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 8: Well the deadline. Obviously they won't come out and say it, 1280 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,280 Speaker 8: but we know it is start a training camp. It's not, 1281 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 8: by the way, when the players report, it's the first 1282 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 8: day of practice. That's the way the contracting coacheators want 1283 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,960 Speaker 8: look at it, and so do coaches and front offs 1284 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 8: people general managers. 1285 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 1: So the two of one look again. He's also in 1286 01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 1: his fifth year option. 1287 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 8: He's playing for the Dolphins this season and for the 1288 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 8: Dolphin fans who don't want them to extend him at 1289 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 8: past the season. 1290 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: I always ask you this question, what's your recourse? Who 1291 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 1: else is out there? 1292 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,919 Speaker 8: Well, there's no one else out there now the Dak 1293 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 8: Prescott deal because the Cowboys have waited. It's going to 1294 01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 8: surpass my number fifty seven million. It could be fifty 1295 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,360 Speaker 8: seven to sixty million, folks, if for some reason the 1296 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 8: Cowboys cave and get this deal done. 1297 01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm curious what you thought about the NFL having to 1298 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 1: pay back four point seven dollars in the Sunday ticket case. 1299 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 1: What's your reaction to all that? 1300 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, so really, what this is is this actually started 1301 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 8: nine ten years ago for the class action suit. So 1302 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 8: it's behalf of bars, establishments, restaurants, and fans. 1303 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 2: See. 1304 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 8: First of all, from a fan standpoint, you'd rather just 1305 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,400 Speaker 8: al Carter. Why do you have to if you're an out, 1306 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,080 Speaker 8: If you're a fan that's out of town, right, if 1307 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 8: you're from Pittsburgh but you live in Los Angeles, you 1308 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 8: only want to you only want to see the Steelers. 1309 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,160 Speaker 8: You don't want every game. You don't want all sixteen games, 1310 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 8: or you know you with the National TV games, you're 1311 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 8: you're you're looking more like thirteen or twelve games. But 1312 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 8: you don't want to pay for the whole package. You 1313 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 8: want to spend three fifty to four hundred. You'd rather 1314 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,000 Speaker 8: just pay each week. Let's say it's ten dollars a game, 1315 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 8: right per week. 1316 01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 1: That's what you want. 1317 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,560 Speaker 8: And plus, if you're a Steelers friend, you know they're 1318 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 8: gonna be a national TV and this is just not 1319 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 8: And by the way, it's not just four point seven billion. 1320 01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,800 Speaker 8: With anti trust, you're looking at more than double that, 1321 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 8: more than double that. So this is going to cost 1322 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 8: the league. I know they're gonna I know they're appealing appeals. 1323 01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 8: By the way, it could be months, if not years. 1324 01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 8: And by the way, you could also sign up if 1325 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 8: you want to get part of the class action. I've 1326 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 8: been part of a couple of class actions over the 1327 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 8: years of like the fifty that I've gotten, you know, 1328 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 8: with with products and appliances and so forth. I trant 1329 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 8: to just throw them out of a couple, I actually 1330 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 8: fill out the stuff. You might you might get fifty 1331 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,320 Speaker 8: seventy five hundred bucks. I mean you have to have 1332 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 8: you have to have documentation though, which is what I 1333 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:31,120 Speaker 8: learned the hard way. 1334 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 2: Have I suddenly I think since two thousand and eight, 1335 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:34,640 Speaker 2: so I probably. 1336 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 3: I just love it. 1337 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,919 Speaker 1: But still the problem is I didn't want the dish, 1338 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:38,960 Speaker 1: and that was the other thing. 1339 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:40,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I still have it now. I mean I'm 1340 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,720 Speaker 2: a huge fan of it, and I understand that people 1341 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 2: might just want to walk to their team. That's it 1342 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 2: out of market and no one else. And so I'm curious, 1343 01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,880 Speaker 2: you know, to see if the NFL adjustice. I wonder 1344 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,560 Speaker 2: if that And also to the last part of this 1345 01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 2: too is if this deal gets adjusted, that affects a 1346 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 2: salary cap, right, because the revenue from a TV deal 1347 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:03,920 Speaker 2: would have to be adjusted. 1348 01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,040 Speaker 8: For Well, the this this the abdruction V deals not 1349 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:12,160 Speaker 8: but the networks is so it's they're they're they're a 1350 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:12,800 Speaker 8: little different. 1351 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:18,800 Speaker 1: But this thing, I'm fascinated to see what the league does. 1352 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 8: Let's say they want to pay up four point seven 1353 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,400 Speaker 8: billion and that's what they had number it stays there 1354 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,520 Speaker 8: and they pay that over series of years, how are 1355 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,160 Speaker 8: they going to make that money up? You know, And 1356 01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,400 Speaker 8: I know, it's amazing. They could sell just about anything. 1357 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,520 Speaker 8: It's pretty remarkable how they make money. But that's that's 1358 01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,720 Speaker 8: a pretty big it's a pretty big chunk, and it 1359 01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:37,320 Speaker 8: would be divided up for teams that they have to pay. 1360 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. You could buy a lot of salmon 1361 01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,920 Speaker 1: and a lot of pasta. With that.

It is Fox Sports Radio here. Jeff Schwartz, 1422 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,640 Speaker 1: Brian know with you that is pretty wild what we 1423 01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 1: were talking about with Cap right there, This class action 1424 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:43,679 Speaker 1: lossuit and the NFL ordered to pay four point seven 1425 01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:48,760 Speaker 1: billion dollars in this Sunday Ticket anti trust suit. And 1426 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,639 Speaker 1: that's the wild thing. Jeff is, like Capp said, they're 1427 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 1: appealing this, so who knows when they'd actually have to 1428 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:59,639 Speaker 1: pay up. But this goes back to they just jacked 1429 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: up the right. There was a proposal from ESPN that 1430 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,719 Speaker 1: would have lowered the cost of Sunday Ticket to seventy 1431 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 1: dollars per year, and right now the current package costs 1432 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty nine dollars annually, so it's basically 1433 01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:19,120 Speaker 1: five times the price it could be. It did, so 1434 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:23,599 Speaker 1: the NFL got dinged for that, and they're gonna appeal 1435 01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,599 Speaker 1: and then reappeal and then reappeal the reappeal and who 1436 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 1: knows where this ends up, but it looks like they're 1437 01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to pay at some point because they have 1438 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,560 Speaker 1: jacked up the price so much on this. 1439 01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:41,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. I've enjoyed some Night ticket for the years I've 1440 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:45,000 Speaker 2: used it. I have it on on YouTube, you know 1441 01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:50,760 Speaker 2: TV now, But it is very expensive. Yeah, even this year. 1442 01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 2: I mean it's like five hundred bucks if you include 1443 01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,080 Speaker 2: you know, you want red Zone channel and all that stuff. 1444 01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 2: Like it's expensive. I think obviously, you know, no one 1445 01:11:58,240 --> 01:11:59,680 Speaker 2: else been able to bid on. They just give it 1446 01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 2: a DirecTV and made it expensive. I understand, I do. 1447 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,479 Speaker 2: I watch all the football games for my job, but 1448 01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 2: just I enjoy watching football. But I understand if you're 1449 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 2: just a fan of the Chiefs, and that's a bad 1450 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:12,800 Speaker 2: example because the Chiefs games are always on TV. You're 1451 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 2: a fan, I hear of the Panthers in Carolina, could 1452 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,400 Speaker 2: be okay. In Iowa. You're a Panthers fan and you 1453 01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 2: just want to watch Panthers games. There should be options 1454 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:22,520 Speaker 2: to just buy Panthers. 1455 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:26,439 Speaker 1: Games, right, I agree with that. I also like, you know, 1456 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,920 Speaker 1: buying in bulk, because I would spend way more than 1457 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,600 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty bucks annually if I had to 1458 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 1: pay ten dollars every time I watched, you know, an 1459 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,240 Speaker 1: out of market game. I'm trying to see all these games, 1460 01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, I want to see everybody. 1461 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,000 Speaker 2: Well, me and you were different because we we we 1462 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,760 Speaker 2: would buy this package. Just hope you'll hope. Obviously it's 1463 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:50,639 Speaker 2: less expensive. But like my parents, I was talking about 1464 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,599 Speaker 2: this the other day, Like my dad is a Niners fan, 1465 01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,760 Speaker 2: and he were watching the Chiefs. Mostly he watches the 1466 01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,519 Speaker 2: national games too, but he just wants every He's an 1467 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,519 Speaker 2: interest in the Chargers and Rams in Los Angeles. He's 1468 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,880 Speaker 2: wing for Niners in Chiefs. He would much rather pay 1469 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 2: just watch those two teams all year then pay for 1470 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:11,599 Speaker 2: the full Sunday ticket package. 1471 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,200 Speaker 1: Yeah right, And if you had that option, that's cool, 1472 01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,160 Speaker 1: that makes sense. I would just hope that if that 1473 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:22,479 Speaker 1: option does exist, that the buying and bulk option also would. 1474 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 2: Exist, correct, because we look for me and. 1475 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 1: You, Yeah, because that would if it's like ten dollars 1476 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 1: for every game, I'd be like, oh gosh, it's going 1477 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 1: to cost seven thousand dollars to watch NFL games. 1478 01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,760 Speaker 2: Impossible. I mean, how could you watch Witching Hour with 1479 01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,560 Speaker 2: eight Wedgers on the line the last fifteen minutes of 1480 01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:42,400 Speaker 2: the early games without having that eight bucks on direct tam? 1481 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 1: Yeah right, you gotta have that going all right? Coming 1482 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 1: up next, we get to it. There was a prediction 1483 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 1: of the top ten scoring offenses this season, and Jeff 1484 01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:54,479 Speaker 1: and I have to weigh in on this. 1485 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 3: Love. 1486 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,000 Speaker 1: It's the season of lists, you know, and it's never 1487 01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:01,240 Speaker 1: I like what this guy said about number three. It's 1488 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:03,680 Speaker 1: what the hell is he thinking with number eight? You know, 1489 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:05,439 Speaker 1: that's the way we do it here, so we'll do 1490 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,720 Speaker 1: that right around the quarter. Yeah, it's more fun that way. 1491 01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 1: He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian Know. We're live from the 1492 01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:16,080 Speaker 1: Tireck dot Com studios here on Fox Sports Radio. It 1493 01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 1: is Fox Sports Radio. He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian Know. 1494 01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,800 Speaker 1: So I ran across a column on NFL dot Com. Jeff, 1495 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 1: it's an NFL writer. I'm not I might butcher this 1496 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:35,840 Speaker 1: guy's name, but it looks like Gennaro Felice possibly probably 1497 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 1: a very nice guy. But he predicted what will be 1498 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 1: the top ten scoring offenses in the NFL this season. Okay, 1499 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,720 Speaker 1: so I'll go through the top ten real fast. What 1500 01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:53,439 Speaker 1: he's predicting, so scoring offenses this season? Niners number one? 1501 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:58,680 Speaker 1: Raise your hand if there's like instantaneous beef over here, Jeff, Right, okay, 1502 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,640 Speaker 1: you're okay with the number one? Sure, Okay, all right? 1503 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 1: Chiefs two? 1504 01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:07,559 Speaker 2: The way we're three last year? 1505 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:09,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, who was. 1506 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:11,519 Speaker 2: Last year? 1507 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,640 Speaker 1: Okay? So first is yea within the realm of possibility, 1508 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:20,599 Speaker 1: So we go Niners one, followed by Chiefs, Lions, Rams, 1509 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 1: and Bengals would be the top five. 1510 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 2: Chiefs feel high, A little high, little high Okay, we're 1511 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,200 Speaker 2: not top ten last year, that's crazy. We top ten 1512 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,320 Speaker 2: this year. But probably I would imagine they're better, but 1513 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:33,720 Speaker 2: not two. 1514 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fair assessment, right, because what did they 1515 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 1: pick up? They got the rookie Xavi you' worthy, but 1516 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 1: you know they didn't make a trade for Justin Jefferson. 1517 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:52,400 Speaker 2: Someone like I really think that Rashie Rice is going 1518 01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:54,639 Speaker 2: to be suspended at some point this season. Travis Kelsey 1519 01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,360 Speaker 2: is at the point now where it's a pitch count, 1520 01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:59,720 Speaker 2: you know, like it's just making sure that we get 1521 01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,000 Speaker 2: into the end of the season. And really the Chiefs, 1522 01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 2: I don't remember the Patriots being this way. Certainly I 1523 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,040 Speaker 2: was playing during this time, but I don't remember the 1524 01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 2: Patriots feeling quite as like, just get to the postseason 1525 01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,920 Speaker 2: and will win it all. Yeah, where because the Patriots 1526 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:22,160 Speaker 2: notoriously started slow in September, you know, they picked up 1527 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,680 Speaker 2: steam and sort of got better by Thanksgiving, Right that 1528 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:27,080 Speaker 2: was the time they wanted to dial in. Because what 1529 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:28,960 Speaker 2: the Chiefs did last year, man, it's just like just 1530 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:30,800 Speaker 2: oh you do is get there? Just just get to 1531 01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,240 Speaker 2: the postseason. So two feels higher for them. I think 1532 01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:34,519 Speaker 2: they're back in the top ten this year. 1533 01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's fair. I think that all makes sense 1534 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 1: to round it out six through ten again. Prediction of 1535 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:46,719 Speaker 1: the top ten scoring offenses this season. Dolphins sixth, followed 1536 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:51,479 Speaker 1: by Packers, Bills, Texans, and Colts. 1537 01:16:52,080 --> 01:17:03,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I guess Rams or they were eight last year, 1538 01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 2: probably better. You know, Cooper cup healthier, right, Yeah, it's 1539 01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,799 Speaker 2: on jelling. The Bengals at five sort of the fuels 1540 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,320 Speaker 2: high after a down year last year, but obviously no 1541 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 2: Burrow last year, and when Burrow was cooking, they were scoring. 1542 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:19,679 Speaker 2: But okay, that makes sense, Miami six, that certainly fits. Well. Yeah, 1543 01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 2: do you start having the beef at seven with the Packers. 1544 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,600 Speaker 1: My beef is more so at eight and ten. I 1545 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 1: look at the Bills and the Colts. 1546 01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:32,720 Speaker 2: The Colts being up here is just is just fantasy land. 1547 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,760 Speaker 2: Right now. We don't know anything about Richardson through a 1548 01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:36,560 Speaker 2: whole season. 1549 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:40,320 Speaker 1: That's right. Anthony Richardson my best guess what type of 1550 01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 1: season he's gonna have. I think it's gonna be up 1551 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,600 Speaker 1: and down. I think he's gonna be. 1552 01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,280 Speaker 2: This the first year playing yeah, right, game last year, right, 1553 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 2: and he. 1554 01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,800 Speaker 1: Didn't play that much in college either. I think that 1555 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna have some games where he's gonna make some 1556 01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:56,400 Speaker 1: throws or some plays, and he's gonna have some performances 1557 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 1: where you're like, what that was unbelievable, And then the 1558 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 1: next game he's gonna complete like nine of twenty two 1559 01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 1: passes with two picks and a fumble, and you're like, 1560 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:06,760 Speaker 1: what the hell was that. I think he's gonna have 1561 01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 1: that type of season. 1562 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 2: He should. I mean, I think he can have a 1563 01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,880 Speaker 2: chance to be really good, but last year he didn't 1564 01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:15,559 Speaker 2: play a lot like he's basically have his work season 1565 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 2: all over again. 1566 01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, That's why I think to have the If 1567 01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:23,400 Speaker 1: the Colts are a top ten scoring offense, I will 1568 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,680 Speaker 1: be really impressed. But I don't think that's happening. I 1569 01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,760 Speaker 1: also don't think the Bills are gonna be up there. 1570 01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:32,160 Speaker 1: Like Josh Allen is a special talent. We all know that, 1571 01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 1: but he has one wide receiver returning who's caught a 1572 01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: pass from him. That one guy he's got, Khalil Shakir, 1573 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 1: and that's it. Nobody else. So when you lose to 1574 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,680 Speaker 1: Von Diggs and I don't know that the offense is 1575 01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:50,720 Speaker 1: gonna be humming to the tune of a top ten 1576 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,360 Speaker 1: scoring offense, do you see that happening? 1577 01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,960 Speaker 2: Probably, I don't know. It's tough to count Josh Allen. Allen, 1578 01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,120 Speaker 2: I'm just sort of looking at like total touchdowns here 1579 01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 2: from last season, So like the Cults were total touchdowns, 1580 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,240 Speaker 2: this counts off of the defense. Colts were eleven. I mean, right, 1581 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,160 Speaker 2: I guess we might have been wrong about them. I mean, 1582 01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:18,360 Speaker 2: I think the Bills can be top ten in total 1583 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:19,639 Speaker 2: off of the touchdowns scored. 1584 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:24,800 Speaker 1: No, they could be. They drafted Keon Coleman from Florida State, Right, 1585 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,439 Speaker 1: so let's say he hits the ground running as a 1586 01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,240 Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver. It's happened before, could happened with Josh 1587 01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 1: Allen the. 1588 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,559 Speaker 2: Dolphin at sixty one total touchdowns last season, how many 1589 01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 2: the Jets had do you think on offense? 1590 01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:41,479 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, if they'd probably be in the thirties, twenty two, 1591 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 1: not even in the third. Wow, that's terrible. That's what 1592 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,320 Speaker 1: happens when Aaron Rodgers plays four plays. 1593 01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:54,200 Speaker 2: Yeah great, I am surprised that Jets on this list 1594 01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:55,000 Speaker 2: are fifteenth. 1595 01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:59,599 Speaker 1: Oh interesting, huh. I think they're gonna be a lot higher. 1596 01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,800 Speaker 2: People around them. Yeah, I buy it, man. 1597 01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,600 Speaker 1: I think that Aaron Rodgers with the real defense and 1598 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,559 Speaker 1: that offense. Man like Garrett Wilson is a really good 1599 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 1: wide receiver, and then you match him up with you 1600 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,720 Speaker 1: got a couple of playmakers over there where you bring 1601 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:22,320 Speaker 1: in Mike Williams. I think Malachai Corley, he's Deebo Samuel Ish. 1602 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,040 Speaker 1: I think that he could be a really interesting player 1603 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:28,240 Speaker 1: with the Jets. And Tyler Conklin is a solid tight end. 1604 01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:32,560 Speaker 1: He's very underrated. Aaron we're talking Aaron Rodgers here. I 1605 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,320 Speaker 1: think they're still gas in the tank. They're gonna be 1606 01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,920 Speaker 1: much better than last year, like Worlds have to be. 1607 01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 2: The only the only thing I'll bring up is that 1608 01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 2: we have not seen a player at this age come 1609 01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:45,559 Speaker 2: back from this injury. And I'm just I think there's 1610 01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,200 Speaker 2: it's okay to have a little trepidation on how that 1611 01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:47,600 Speaker 2: might go. 1612 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, hey, that's fair, that's fair. I also look 1613 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:53,479 Speaker 1: at the style of his game, you know, and I 1614 01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:57,759 Speaker 1: think his game translates to old pretty well. Hey, Jeff 1615 01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:00,720 Speaker 1: the ball buffet, it's not over yet. We still have 1616 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:09,960 Speaker 1: plenty more plus free agency news.

Tirack dot com the way tire buying 1623 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:33,519 Speaker 1: should be so Jeff. Just as Martin Wisse said right there, 1624 01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 1: the Splash Brothers looks like they are no more. Klay 1625 01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:41,880 Speaker 1: Thompson is leaving the Warriors. Warriors trying to work out 1626 01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: a sign and trade deal for Clay, and I'm curious 1627 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 1: how you feel about this. To me, I don't think 1628 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:53,440 Speaker 1: nostalgia gets you anywhere, and I actually applaud the Warriors. 1629 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,639 Speaker 1: The arrow was pointing down. They were in tenth place 1630 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 1: in the West last season. They didn't even make the playoffs. 1631 01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:03,719 Speaker 1: They got the Kings, So why would you bring back Clay? 1632 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:05,880 Speaker 1: As if what what's going to change? What's going to 1633 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 1: be better? We're keeping the band together and what we're 1634 01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 1: gonna get our teeth kicked in for most of the season. 1635 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,200 Speaker 1: You got to change it up and be viable, be relevant. 1636 01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:16,439 Speaker 1: So to try to build around Steph Curry and go 1637 01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,800 Speaker 1: in a different direction, I think that's the only way 1638 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 1: you could approach this going forward. 1639 01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 2: I'm surprised they didn't do it earlier. Quite honestly, I 1640 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,240 Speaker 2: think after last year we made the case that him 1641 01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:28,720 Speaker 2: and Draymond it kind of kind of time to move on. 1642 01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,479 Speaker 2: But I appreciate them doing it better, better late than ever, right, 1643 01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it had to be done. They had to 1644 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 2: move on. There was no really other way to approach 1645 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:41,240 Speaker 2: next season in the years moving forward, because again, your 1646 01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 2: job is to rebuild that team, and you have to 1647 01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:46,599 Speaker 2: rebuild it around Curry, who is most capable right now 1648 01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,800 Speaker 2: of helping you win. And it makes no sense for 1649 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,640 Speaker 2: them to want to do this. The best teams are adaptable, right, 1650 01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:57,560 Speaker 2: the best teams are able to mold themselves and you know, 1651 01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,920 Speaker 2: be pliable, be flexible. And so I plowed the Warriors 1652 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:03,679 Speaker 2: for doing this, But they also made it easy because 1653 01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:05,679 Speaker 2: Clay just isn't the same player anymore, and they weren't 1654 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 2: a good team last season, and so you look at 1655 01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,960 Speaker 2: that in the mirror and think to yourself, Okay, what 1656 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:11,400 Speaker 2: do we have to do next. I think it's even 1657 01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,320 Speaker 2: it's tougher if they were like the sixth place team 1658 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,920 Speaker 2: in the West, you know, or you know, seventh place. 1659 01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:21,599 Speaker 2: They made the playing tournament, and you know, and got 1660 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,639 Speaker 2: out in two games. Right, Like that to me feels 1661 01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:26,000 Speaker 2: a tougherness. They want to roll back, and just rolled 1662 01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,200 Speaker 2: back with the same team. Finishing tenth makes this pretty easy, right, Brian, Like, 1663 01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 2: it's over now. We've had our four championships, we've had 1664 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,840 Speaker 2: our winning, we've had our run, we've had this, you 1665 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,599 Speaker 2: know this, this Hall of Fame do it together. It's 1666 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 2: now time to break it up and move a different direction. 1667 01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,759 Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, I just looked up Clay Thompson 1668 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 1: on Pro Football Reference. That doesn't work out, right, You got. 1669 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,599 Speaker 2: To go two years. It's it's always a ball buffet 1670 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,360 Speaker 2: and your brain it's always ready for ball, right for football. 1671 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's an interesting point that they hadn't done 1672 01:23:58,720 --> 01:23:59,559 Speaker 1: it earlier. 1673 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,200 Speaker 2: I thought they were gonna do it laughter last season. Yeah, 1674 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:05,960 Speaker 2: I thought that was time. Everyone was older, you know, 1675 01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,200 Speaker 2: the Draymond thing. I thought he was gone just because 1676 01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,400 Speaker 2: of well, I guess the judge him with with Jordan 1677 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:12,599 Speaker 2: Pool in the end, right, So that makes a global 1678 01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 2: sense that I just thought it was sort of it 1679 01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,439 Speaker 2: was what happens with him now? Is he is he 1680 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,800 Speaker 2: staying or going? Yeah? 1681 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 1: He could be going as well. I'm not sure if 1682 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,120 Speaker 1: he'll be back or not. But Clay on his way out. 1683 01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:30,280 Speaker 1: But I like that take because so they won the finals, 1684 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:33,840 Speaker 1: they beat Boston two seasons ago, right, so twenty two. 1685 01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 1: Then last season they took a step back, right, they 1686 01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:42,000 Speaker 1: were forty four and thirty eighth. They lost to They 1687 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,320 Speaker 1: lost them the semi finals in that season. I lost 1688 01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:49,760 Speaker 1: the Dakers, right, I think they were last year. 1689 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:51,680 Speaker 2: Oh it was the Lakers. Yeah, it t years ago. Yeah, 1690 01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:52,800 Speaker 2: I mean it was like two years ago. 1691 01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:55,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, like the era was pointed down heading into 1692 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: last season. I think two seasons ago that's when they 1693 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 1: lost all those games on the road. Remember they couldn't 1694 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:03,320 Speaker 1: win on the road at all. 1695 01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,559 Speaker 2: And they was talking about like chemistry being the reason why. 1696 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:07,519 Speaker 2: Right this, Yeah, the wasn't great. 1697 01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:10,800 Speaker 1: But that's a good point by you because I think, look, 1698 01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 1: if this was a Patriot situation, they would have moved 1699 01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:17,439 Speaker 1: off of Klay Thompson heading into last season, not heading 1700 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:17,800 Speaker 1: into this. 1701 01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,320 Speaker 2: I mean they might have moved off him after the championship. 1702 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,519 Speaker 1: They might have been right, if anybody were to do it, 1703 01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,639 Speaker 1: it might have been them, But certainly after two seasons ago, 1704 01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,280 Speaker 1: right where they lost all those road games, they would 1705 01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,599 Speaker 1: have moved off of them then, and now you see 1706 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,400 Speaker 1: how the last season played out, you're in tenth place. 1707 01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:38,880 Speaker 1: You know, there's a reason why Bob Myers, the former GM, 1708 01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,000 Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I'm gonna go do TV 1709 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,800 Speaker 1: like he knew what was going on there. Right, it 1710 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:47,320 Speaker 1: was not a roster that with the arrow pointed up. 1711 01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:49,720 Speaker 2: No, And you know that becomes sort of like the 1712 01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,639 Speaker 2: long build, right. I mean, I don't know, Steph Curry 1713 01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,479 Speaker 2: Loan's not going to win HI any championships. I wonder 1714 01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,240 Speaker 2: at some point if Steph kind of back to the 1715 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 2: Chris Paul discussion where we've had the superstar players just 1716 01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:05,040 Speaker 2: decide to sort of string their careers out. Stuff. Doesn't 1717 01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,360 Speaker 2: feel like that guy. I mean, maybe one maybe one 1718 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,439 Speaker 2: other team, you know, like, okay, I want to a 1719 01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:12,320 Speaker 2: winning team wants a trade for me, I'll give it 1720 01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,880 Speaker 2: one more go to win a championship. But it doesn't 1721 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:16,519 Speaker 2: feel like Steph is going to stick around and play 1722 01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,599 Speaker 2: with three four five teams just to keep playing basketball. Yeah. 1723 01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 1: I'm curious what happens with Steph because he's still playing 1724 01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:27,920 Speaker 1: at a really high level. He's not getting any younger, 1725 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,679 Speaker 1: He's he's getting longer in the tooth right. He's thirty 1726 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 1: four years old right now, but he still has a 1727 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:35,240 Speaker 1: couple more special seasons in him. 1728 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:36,760 Speaker 2: He can shoot, he could, he could do the PG 1729 01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:38,800 Speaker 2: in Washington, main shoot threes. 1730 01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 1: He really can stay viable for a long time. His 1731 01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:45,960 Speaker 1: game translates to old very well. He's not this dude 1732 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,400 Speaker 1: that relies on sheer athleticism. He could just be a marksman. 1733 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm thinking. I'm thinking that he 1734 01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 2: should go with the mid level exemption of the Lakers. 1735 01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 2: That makes the most sense to me, is that what 1736 01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,280 Speaker 2: that's the route right there that still has a a 1737 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 2: good you know, put him in, you know, put him 1738 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 2: in the corner, put him at the wing, let Lebron 1739 01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,280 Speaker 2: do a lot of the damage. But then in the end, 1740 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 2: you know, like we got stuff there to put up, 1741 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,280 Speaker 2: you know, twenty five to thirty at nights. 1742 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:15,400 Speaker 1: I would love to hear the conversations if a couple 1743 01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 1: of superstars did that. They're like, you know what, man, 1744 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:21,080 Speaker 1: the hell with it. We've made so much money, Let's 1745 01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:25,880 Speaker 1: just go super cheap with our contracts. You know, let's 1746 01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:29,360 Speaker 1: just align forces and win a title. I really wonder 1747 01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:31,360 Speaker 1: what the conversations would be like. If that, can we 1748 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:35,600 Speaker 1: just have that Kevin Durant, Well, yes, right, yeah, but 1749 01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about like Steph and Lebron, you know what 1750 01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Like that type of thing. KD was different 1751 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,400 Speaker 1: because he was still getting paid. I'm talking about just 1752 01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,080 Speaker 1: taking a cheap, cheap deal. 1753 01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:52,160 Speaker 2: So like so like Steph, Lebron, yeah, Chris Paul, they 1754 01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,560 Speaker 2: just all get together and like, yeah, just form this 1755 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:55,959 Speaker 2: old super team. 1756 01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:59,040 Speaker 1: Right, yes, let's get the band together. We'll take all 1757 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,639 Speaker 1: these deals on thee and let's just win a ring. 1758 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:07,640 Speaker 1: You're right, Like with Lebron specifically, the conversations would be 1759 01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:11,280 Speaker 1: pretty interesting. But if the dynamic was Lebron and Steph, 1760 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 1: Steph is more popular, He's not as polarizing. There aren't 1761 01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:18,080 Speaker 1: as many haters with Steph, not even close compared to Lebron. 1762 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,080 Speaker 1: So if they they teamed up. I know this is 1763 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,840 Speaker 1: fantasy Ville type stuff, but I would love to hear 1764 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,080 Speaker 1: those debates play out. It's not gonna happen, but no, 1765 01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:27,679 Speaker 1: it would. 1766 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,479 Speaker 2: It would certainly hurt. I think Steph's legacy more than 1767 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:35,000 Speaker 2: Lebron's in that sense, because we've ever had to talk 1768 01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:38,040 Speaker 2: about that with Steph. I mean, KD went went to 1769 01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:40,640 Speaker 2: him to win a championship. Yeah right, Steph didn't go 1770 01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 2: to KD. And then with you know, with with Lebron, 1771 01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 2: I mean he teamed up Miami and worked for for 1772 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:49,559 Speaker 2: two titles, came back and won the one in Cleveland, 1773 01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:53,600 Speaker 2: and then obviously won the one in Los Angeles. It 1774 01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:57,320 Speaker 2: would certainly tarnish Steph's legacy more than Lebron did. They 1775 01:28:57,360 --> 01:28:59,000 Speaker 2: teamed up the ombook. This is obviously a pipe dream. 1776 01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:02,040 Speaker 2: I don't think's actually not right, but it would be. 1777 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,200 Speaker 2: It would be interesting, right if Steph was like, you 1778 01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 2: know what, get rid of me too. I want to 1779 01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:08,640 Speaker 2: go somewhere to win last couple of years because the 1780 01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:10,160 Speaker 2: Warriors an't gonna win anything. Just that the Lakers are 1781 01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:11,599 Speaker 2: not close. The Warriors aren't close either. 1782 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 1: You know what's weird to me, Jeff, is something that 1783 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:18,680 Speaker 1: actually did play out where KD joined the Warriors, and 1784 01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:22,760 Speaker 1: we know how that worked out, where KD got vilified 1785 01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:25,760 Speaker 1: for that, and I get it right, he joined the 1786 01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:29,040 Speaker 1: Warriors who beat him in the playoffs this season prior, 1787 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:32,800 Speaker 1: and they had won seventy three games and it was 1788 01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:35,400 Speaker 1: front running at its best. But the point is this, 1789 01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:41,560 Speaker 1: all of the negativity was with KD all of it. 1790 01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:45,080 Speaker 1: But there's something weird to me with say Steph Curry, 1791 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,920 Speaker 1: where he's in the Hamptons and he's pitching KD, like, hey, 1792 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:53,280 Speaker 1: come join our team, right, like you had the Hamptons 1793 01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:56,640 Speaker 1: five you had. I think you had both all like 1794 01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,839 Speaker 1: the Big Three you had play Steph, you had Draymond. 1795 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,400 Speaker 1: I think Iguadala was there to pitch KD. Whoever's there 1796 01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:07,080 Speaker 1: is the Hamptons five. They're pitching this guy no negativity. 1797 01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:10,280 Speaker 1: I find that to be weird, right, Like, you're right, 1798 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,200 Speaker 1: it's the player who joins the team is vilified. But 1799 01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:16,960 Speaker 1: the players who are on the team, who have the 1800 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 1: sales pitch, who have like the Excel spreadsheet presentation, come 1801 01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:26,400 Speaker 1: join us, no negativity whatsoever. I find that very strange. 1802 01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:29,120 Speaker 2: Well, they'd want already, right, so they didn't. They're not 1803 01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 2: getting the same negativity as the player they had it 1804 01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:34,040 Speaker 2: won already, and that they had just be Kevin Durant too, Right, 1805 01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:34,840 Speaker 2: that's right. 1806 01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,760 Speaker 1: But it's like, if you guys are so bad and 1807 01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:42,240 Speaker 1: so good, why do you need to pitch a superstar 1808 01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:45,439 Speaker 1: to join you? Like, aren't you good enough on your 1809 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:49,639 Speaker 1: own without k D? Why are you given the sales pitch. 1810 01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:52,200 Speaker 2: Well, they're not going to turn that down though. If 1811 01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:54,120 Speaker 2: he wants to go play with them, sure, But. 1812 01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:56,559 Speaker 1: There you understand what I'm saying. They're pitching him. 1813 01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1814 01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,680 Speaker 1: I just find that interesting with the player joining the 1815 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:04,160 Speaker 1: team crushed villified, but the players already on the team 1816 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:07,479 Speaker 1: that are pitching the superstar. Hey, joy, not us. We'd 1817 01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:09,920 Speaker 1: love to have you. No negativity whatsoever. 1818 01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:15,120 Speaker 2: Look, when Kevin Durant is at his Hall of Fame induction, 1819 01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:18,120 Speaker 2: no one's going to give a rip that he went 1820 01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:21,280 Speaker 2: to the Warriors and won championships. You like that. That's 1821 01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:25,280 Speaker 2: that's something that is a social media things. No one's 1822 01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 2: gonna be up there and be like, oh, that guy 1823 01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 2: not Hall of Famer, went to play with the Warriors. 1824 01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:29,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1825 01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:31,639 Speaker 2: I mean, look, it doesn't in the end, it doesn't matter. 1826 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:34,400 Speaker 2: It's a social media thing where we were we we 1827 01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:38,120 Speaker 2: attack him for that. I actually think that if I think, 1828 01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 2: you know, Katie has certainly embraced this role now, but 1829 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,000 Speaker 2: for a while, he was you know KD Berner, right, 1830 01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:44,280 Speaker 2: you going on on on social media with a burner account, 1831 01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:47,040 Speaker 2: and I think people that coupled with the idea that 1832 01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:50,040 Speaker 2: he was teaming up with the Warriors. Both those things 1833 01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 2: played a role in the social media backlash. Again, we're 1834 01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,160 Speaker 2: talking about a lot of times what happened on social media, 1835 01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:58,600 Speaker 2: not what happened in like society. Right, If Kat was 1836 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:00,560 Speaker 2: not doing the social media thing, I feel like we 1837 01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 2: feel differently about him in that moment. I think that 1838 01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:07,519 Speaker 2: was all a part of the the reaction to what 1839 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:08,559 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant did there. 1840 01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:13,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting stuff, nevertheless, But no Chris Paul either. He 1841 01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,759 Speaker 1: was waived by the Warriors. He'll be an unrestricted free agent. 1842 01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:19,160 Speaker 2: That never made sense. I want to again, I don't. 1843 01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:22,799 Speaker 2: I don't know what Chris Paul, what value he brings 1844 01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:25,040 Speaker 2: to a championship team at the moment. 1845 01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:30,560 Speaker 1: It's certainly a lot of experience. If you've got like 1846 01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:34,160 Speaker 1: a younger point guard something like that, maybe he's going 1847 01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 1: to get some minutes out there, but his body's going 1848 01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:39,519 Speaker 1: to betray him at some point. I hate that because 1849 01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,680 Speaker 1: he is such a special player. But look, man, a 1850 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,120 Speaker 1: golf thing. This is not just the back nine, it's 1851 01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:47,040 Speaker 1: the next step of that. 1852 01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,160 Speaker 2: Where he is in his other time is undefeated. 1853 01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:53,000 Speaker 1: Buddy, that's it. But I like the point that you made. 1854 01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:57,560 Speaker 1: If you compare just those two players Chris Paul and 1855 01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:02,800 Speaker 1: Steph Curry just the way Steph's game is, right, Like, 1856 01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:05,519 Speaker 1: how long is he gonna last in the NBA if 1857 01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:06,120 Speaker 1: he wants to. 1858 01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:08,760 Speaker 2: Till forty if he wants to play until forty two, 1859 01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,240 Speaker 2: I mean, just he can again, Like we joked a 1860 01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,559 Speaker 2: lot during the playoffs because we were on PGA Washington 1861 01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:15,880 Speaker 2: a bunch for the for the MAVs. I mean, he 1862 01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:18,840 Speaker 2: literally just stood in the corner a lot of times, 1863 01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,200 Speaker 2: just made corner threes. Boston, by the way, to give 1864 01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:24,679 Speaker 2: him their credit, they took that away from the mass 1865 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:26,559 Speaker 2: from most of that series, right, they had to move 1866 01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:29,439 Speaker 2: to the wings to shoot threes. Stephan just stand there 1867 01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:31,400 Speaker 2: in the corner for the rest of his career. 1868 01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 1: We really could and just knock down Jays. Yeah, you know, 1869 01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:39,479 Speaker 1: I want to see what his supporting cast is gonna 1870 01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,040 Speaker 1: be with the Warriors this next season, because I give 1871 01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:45,639 Speaker 1: him credit, they're trying, but is it gonna be good 1872 01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:49,200 Speaker 1: enough where you're like, hey man, they could actually make 1873 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,960 Speaker 1: some noise in the West. They're gonna have to do 1874 01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:53,880 Speaker 1: a lot to be able to do something like that. 1875 01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:59,520 Speaker 2: The Internet is telling me, Brian, there's some Russell Westbrooks 1876 01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:05,960 Speaker 2: and Nuggets connection happening possibly, which okay, sure, m. 1877 01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:11,000 Speaker 1: Eh. I mean, like, think about this, So you have 1878 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:15,679 Speaker 1: Jamal Murray and Jokich. So Jamal is a very good shooter, 1879 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 1: and you would have Westbrook as you know, the guy 1880 01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 1: off the bench, high energy. If he can attack the rim, 1881 01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 1: he can do that, no problem. If you have him 1882 01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:27,679 Speaker 1: like with the Lakers, and you're gonna be a two guard, 1883 01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:30,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna need you to shoot threes. But that's not 1884 01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:34,360 Speaker 1: what he does at all. So could he fit in 1885 01:34:34,560 --> 01:34:37,519 Speaker 1: a little bit with those guys. Yeah, I could see 1886 01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,160 Speaker 1: him potentially fitting in with that. I just don't like 1887 01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:43,160 Speaker 1: how Westbrook's reputation A lot of people make him sound 1888 01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:46,240 Speaker 1: like he's just the worst basketball player ever. It's no, 1889 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,080 Speaker 1: he just has to have the right role. Yeah. 1890 01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,000 Speaker 2: It's also just I think nowadays we are so focused 1891 01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:55,679 Speaker 2: on the three point shot that you know, we don't 1892 01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 2: give credit for the energy and hustle he brings it. 1893 01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:01,120 Speaker 2: I think Westbrook has gotten a little bit of a 1894 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:05,280 Speaker 2: bad teammate rap, but doesn't actually feel like that's the case. Right, 1895 01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:07,200 Speaker 2: didn't feel that way. I mean he doesn't. He didn't 1896 01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:11,760 Speaker 2: feel that way. So yeah, I'm curious where he goes 1897 01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:13,400 Speaker 2: look at this point in his career, and then the 1898 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:15,640 Speaker 2: energy off the bench is can be hugely important to 1899 01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:18,320 Speaker 2: a champion ofcopy. He's also chasing the championship too, right, 1900 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:19,840 Speaker 2: I don't think he's won a championship, so it's trying 1901 01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:22,519 Speaker 2: to find a place to give it himself a ring 1902 01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:24,960 Speaker 2: down the stretch because I look at this point in 1903 01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,720 Speaker 2: a lot of these guys' careers. Yeah, money is great 1904 01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:28,640 Speaker 2: in all and they signed for the money, but a 1905 01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:31,400 Speaker 2: lot of them signed for the chance to chase the ring. 1906 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:33,080 Speaker 2: I never won a ring. I'd love to have won 1907 01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:35,840 Speaker 2: a ring. Man be awesome. So I think guys rightly 1908 01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:37,560 Speaker 2: make the decision to go chase that ring late in 1909 01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:38,000 Speaker 2: their career. 1910 01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:40,599 Speaker 1: I'd love to see him win one. For a guy 1911 01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:44,400 Speaker 1: who's been he had just criticized as much as he 1912 01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:45,679 Speaker 1: has throughout his career, I'd love. 1913 01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:48,120 Speaker 2: Especially if he was a helpful in winning the championship, 1914 01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,040 Speaker 2: right like being part of a championship winning team. 1915 01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:50,839 Speaker 1: Definitely. 1916 01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:55,439 Speaker 2: Did you see last week that the under twenty American 1917 01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:58,360 Speaker 2: football team lost to Japan by like three touchdowns? 1918 01:35:58,680 --> 01:35:59,560 Speaker 1: No? I didn't see that. 1919 01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:03,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost it to uh to uh who they 1920 01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:05,479 Speaker 2: lose to to Austria, and we have a problem in 1921 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:08,160 Speaker 2: our hands with our twenty under football team, American football team. 1922 01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:11,439 Speaker 2: What is happened? Why are we losing Austria and to Japan. 1923 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:15,200 Speaker 9: Who's on our under twenty football team doesn't matter, doesn't matter, 1924 01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:19,120 Speaker 9: that doesn't It's gonna be it. It's gonna be the 1925 01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:21,040 Speaker 9: dream team next year. We'renna have all the five star 1926 01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:22,800 Speaker 9: kids in high school gonna be on this team. So 1927 01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:24,200 Speaker 9: we don't get we don't care. Butt swooped. 1928 01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:27,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that'd be My first question is who the 1929 01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,320 Speaker 1: hell is on this team? You know, because it could 1930 01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:33,360 Speaker 1: be if like they'll put it this way in the Olympics, 1931 01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:37,080 Speaker 1: if this is our our Olympic basketball team, you know 1932 01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:38,920 Speaker 1: what I mean? And instead of having some of the 1933 01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:43,120 Speaker 1: best players in the NBA, you have like some secondary 1934 01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:44,320 Speaker 1: players in college. 1935 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:46,800 Speaker 2: Did this happen in nineteen ninety eight and nineteen eighty eight, 1936 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:48,320 Speaker 2: It's why we got the dream team next time? 1937 01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,200 Speaker 1: That's right, That's what I'm saying. Right, if this is 1938 01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:54,439 Speaker 1: the equivalent of that, it's like, these are this like 1939 01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:58,920 Speaker 1: our fourth, fifth, sixth stringers compared to what it could be, Right, I. 1940 01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:00,920 Speaker 2: Still think we should It's one of us we should own. 1941 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:02,679 Speaker 1: That sport like at all times. 1942 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:06,240 Speaker 2: At all times, yeah, dominates. It's not like other leagues 1943 01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:08,360 Speaker 2: that have like you know, we like we have NBA, right, 1944 01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:11,720 Speaker 2: which is the number one pro basket league, but it's 1945 01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:13,880 Speaker 2: not but Europe has like the second pro basketball league. 1946 01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:15,720 Speaker 2: It's not like there's like when we're get we get 1947 01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:18,880 Speaker 2: players from that league that do well the NBA. There's 1948 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:22,479 Speaker 2: not like a secondary football league in another country. Yeah, like, yeah, 1949 01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 2: Japan's football, sure, I know, my buddy mine went to 1950 01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:28,880 Speaker 2: Germany to do some clinics, Like, yeah, they have football there. 1951 01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:32,040 Speaker 2: It's not like there's a second league in Europe that 1952 01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,160 Speaker 2: dominates and we get a bunch of players from there 1953 01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:36,960 Speaker 2: like NBA Europe. Not NBA Europe exactly. But you know, 1954 01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:39,880 Speaker 2: but you know, it's not like soccer right where our 1955 01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:42,920 Speaker 2: best players actually go to Europe to play most of 1956 01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:46,360 Speaker 2: the year.

I think with embiid injury history, it's 2041 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,680 Speaker 2: just smart to have someone that you can trust can 2042 01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:10,160 Speaker 2: put the ball in the basket a little bit right 2043 01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:11,920 Speaker 2: when it when it beats out, it makes sense. 2044 01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:16,560 Speaker 1: Yeah.

Yeah, they've been freaking brutal lately, bad 2050 01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:35,120 Speaker 1: for a long time. But it took us about I 2051 01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:38,080 Speaker 1: don't know, I'd say about twenty six ish minutes when 2052 01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:42,040 Speaker 1: it was reported. It's unfortunate, but hey, man, it happens. 2053 01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:47,280 Speaker 1: So the Astros beat the Mets ten to five. Man, 2054 01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:50,400 Speaker 1: that's a killer for any under you know. Uh, these 2055 01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:55,960 Speaker 1: extra inning games, your your Dodgers and Giants game yesterday, 2056 01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:58,559 Speaker 1: jeff Right, it was seven to no. It was six 2057 01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:01,720 Speaker 1: to six heading into extra is. The final score was 2058 01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:05,040 Speaker 1: fourteen to seven. They scored nine runs just an extra 2059 01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:05,839 Speaker 1: innings alone. 2060 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:08,160 Speaker 2: It does feel like a lot of runs can score 2061 01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:09,360 Speaker 2: an extra endings. I don't know if it's because the 2062 01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:11,840 Speaker 2: runner starts on second base. Probably not. I mean that 2063 01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:14,600 Speaker 2: to give you one run, obviously, but the point that 2064 01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:16,120 Speaker 2: was to make it go faster, and it doesn't seem 2065 01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,040 Speaker 2: like it goes any faster. Yeah. 2066 01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:20,240 Speaker 1: Every now and then you get a marathon game. What 2067 01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,479 Speaker 1: was the game I forget, I don't know if it was. 2068 01:43:25,160 --> 01:43:28,240 Speaker 1: It was today, It was the Rockies and the White 2069 01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:30,599 Speaker 1: Soxer But there was another one I can't remember, if 2070 01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:33,040 Speaker 1: it was like the Mariners and Twins or something. Some 2071 01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:37,599 Speaker 1: other game went really long. But I think that listen, 2072 01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:39,640 Speaker 1: I'm in the minority here, i'd be lying to you. 2073 01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:42,479 Speaker 1: I know, the baseball purists they hate the ghost runner 2074 01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:45,560 Speaker 1: on second base to start extra innings. I love it. 2075 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:48,160 Speaker 1: I have no issue with it whatsoever. It's so much 2076 01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:51,280 Speaker 1: more entertaining to me. And it's just a regular season thing. 2077 01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:53,200 Speaker 1: They don't have it in the postseason. 2078 01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 2: But well that's why it's okay, right, because it's just right. 2079 01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:00,280 Speaker 1: But I can't tell you how many times Jeff be 2080 01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:03,360 Speaker 1: a game that's tied to two going into the tenth 2081 01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:05,519 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my gosh, it's gonna take him 2082 01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:07,600 Speaker 1: an hour and a half to score a run or 2083 01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:11,000 Speaker 1: finish this game. And when it first started, I'm like, oh, 2084 01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:13,639 Speaker 1: we got a runner in scoring position out of the gate. 2085 01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:16,479 Speaker 1: Like I'm in I'm watching this, so. 2086 01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:20,160 Speaker 2: There's more action. I think based on on a good 2087 01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:22,599 Speaker 2: job of bringing back and I know we talked earlier, 2088 01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:25,560 Speaker 2: joked about all the hits that don't happen, but just 2089 01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:31,080 Speaker 2: the general have brought back a little more speeded past 2090 01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:33,800 Speaker 2: the game, right, Yeah, with the pitch count and the 2091 01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:38,799 Speaker 2: mountain visits and the lack of of you know, pickoffs 2092 01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:40,320 Speaker 2: and things like that.

Brian know with you here on 2147 01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:08,080 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. So let me throw something at you 2148 01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:11,040 Speaker 1: in the world of ball. Okay, Jeff, So I was 2149 01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:15,200 Speaker 1: thinking about this with the Texans and c J. Stroud. 2150 01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:19,600 Speaker 1: He was fantastic last season. So I was thinking, the Texans, 2151 01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:24,400 Speaker 1: they've got a young quarterback. What is their success going 2152 01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:28,200 Speaker 1: to resemble as a team compared to a couple other 2153 01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:31,080 Speaker 1: teams that have had young quarterbacks hit the ground running 2154 01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:36,400 Speaker 1: as well. Okay, do you see the Texans having a Bengals, 2155 01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:41,679 Speaker 1: Chargers or Eagles type run here? Okay? With CJ Strett, 2156 01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:44,000 Speaker 1: Now think about this the Bengals. We won't go through 2157 01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:46,000 Speaker 1: all the records and all that because it's just gonna 2158 01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:48,479 Speaker 1: sound like woh wow, wow, wah wow after a while. 2159 01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:52,200 Speaker 1: But Burrow got hurt his rookie season, then boom Super 2160 01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:55,880 Speaker 1: Bowl appearance, AFC Title game loss, and then he was 2161 01:47:55,960 --> 01:48:00,720 Speaker 1: hurt again. So that's big team success similar to the Eagle. Right. 2162 01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:04,320 Speaker 1: Hert's rookie season were a wild card team, then boom 2163 01:48:04,439 --> 01:48:07,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl appearance, and then last year they tailed back 2164 01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:11,840 Speaker 1: off back in the wild card again. Justin Herbert, he's 2165 01:48:11,880 --> 01:48:15,439 Speaker 1: only made the playoffs one time and they were five 2166 01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:18,600 Speaker 1: and twelve last season as a squad. Yeah, So what 2167 01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:20,280 Speaker 1: do you think of the Texans. Do you think it's 2168 01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:24,360 Speaker 1: more Bengals, Eagles or Chargers in terms of team success 2169 01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:25,599 Speaker 1: with a young quarterback there? 2170 01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:28,560 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think they're being in Kansas City, so 2171 01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:30,960 Speaker 2: that sort of takes out the Bengals and Eagles route, right. 2172 01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:32,360 Speaker 2: But I don't think they're going to be like the Chargers. 2173 01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:35,200 Speaker 2: I think they're going to be a viable team to 2174 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,280 Speaker 2: compete for the top of the AFC. But I don't 2175 01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:41,760 Speaker 2: think this season they're going into Kansas City, let's say, 2176 01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:43,160 Speaker 2: and being the Chiefs in the playoff game. 2177 01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:45,960 Speaker 1: No, that's fair. I think It's a little bit of 2178 01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:48,760 Speaker 1: an Arnold Palmer situation here, you know, kind of like 2179 01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:49,559 Speaker 1: half and half. 2180 01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:51,760 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I got that one. 2181 01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:52,479 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. 2182 01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:56,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna the ceiling. Isn't the Bengals 2183 01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:58,680 Speaker 1: right like reaching the Super Bowl? I don't see that 2184 01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:02,679 Speaker 1: happening this season. But I don't think it's the Chargers either. 2185 01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:05,280 Speaker 1: I don't think they're five and twelve. No. 2186 01:49:05,479 --> 01:49:09,240 Speaker 2: I think people are tatt him the Chargers. I understand 2187 01:49:10,479 --> 01:49:14,080 Speaker 2: what Jim Harbaugh is going to do to them, but 2188 01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:17,720 Speaker 2: their roster is just sort of not there yet, and 2189 01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:19,880 Speaker 2: the idea that they're going to come in right away 2190 01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:23,000 Speaker 2: and win nine, ten eleven games, I just don't see 2191 01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:23,799 Speaker 2: that in your. 2192 01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:27,280 Speaker 1: One I hear you. You know what's interesting is I 2193 01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:31,839 Speaker 1: feel like the evaluations of the Chargers and the Jets 2194 01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:36,320 Speaker 1: are flip flopped right Like, I feel like the common 2195 01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:40,120 Speaker 1: opinion is all Chargers, Jim Harball look out. I feel 2196 01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:43,320 Speaker 1: like that should be the opinion of the Jets right now. 2197 01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:47,080 Speaker 1: But the opinion of the Jets is like, you can't 2198 01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:49,880 Speaker 1: buy them. They were the trendy team hit heading into 2199 01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,120 Speaker 1: last season, and now it seems like most people have 2200 01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:55,160 Speaker 1: jumped off that bandwagon. I think the Jets could make 2201 01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:57,640 Speaker 1: real noise. I don't see that with the Chargers this 2202 01:49:57,800 --> 01:49:59,200 Speaker 1: season they lost a lot. 2203 01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:03,120 Speaker 2: Thing with the Jets is the same of the Chargers 2204 01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:06,479 Speaker 2: is you have the stigma as a franchise and you 2205 01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:11,160 Speaker 2: have to overcome and you need someone to kind of 2206 01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:16,240 Speaker 2: push that through the wall, break the wall down. And 2207 01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:19,519 Speaker 2: everyone knows Harbaugh and do that. He did it at Stanford, 2208 01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:21,280 Speaker 2: he did it at forty nine Ers, he did it 2209 01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:24,519 Speaker 2: in Michigan. Right now he's got a people Chargers. The 2210 01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:27,600 Speaker 2: thing with the Jets is we have just years and 2211 01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:29,920 Speaker 2: years and years now of the Jets just sort of 2212 01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:33,760 Speaker 2: fumbling and bubbling their way around a season. And I 2213 01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:36,479 Speaker 2: think a lot of us look at Robert Saloon. I 2214 01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:39,519 Speaker 2: think he's a good coach, not great. I think he's, 2215 01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:42,400 Speaker 2: you know, good defensive coordinator. But you have Nate Hackett, 2216 01:50:42,400 --> 01:50:45,320 Speaker 2: You're like, oh, God, like that's that's just that's not 2217 01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:47,160 Speaker 2: gonna be great off if that's your quarterback coming off 2218 01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,439 Speaker 2: an Achilles injury. And it's the Jets. They have the 2219 01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:54,680 Speaker 2: longest the four major professional sports drafts playoff droughts in 2220 01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:58,160 Speaker 2: all of the professional sports. So, like I a lot 2221 01:50:58,200 --> 01:50:59,960 Speaker 2: of just look at the Jets and think like, yeah, 2222 01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:02,120 Speaker 2: that's the Jets no matter what happens, and it's not 2223 01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:05,000 Speaker 2: gonna because we think it's gonna be. Where with Harbaugh 2224 01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:07,960 Speaker 2: we have a proven success that he can do this 2225 01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:11,840 Speaker 2: and change programs and change fortunes for players and individuals 2226 01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:13,759 Speaker 2: and franchise brogram. We don't have that with the Jets. 2227 01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, but the Chargers are exactly that. You know, like, 2228 01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:23,240 Speaker 1: is Harbaugh that reliable? 2229 01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:26,040 Speaker 2: And I get you said I don't think in year 2230 01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:28,320 Speaker 2: one he is, right, but I think he's had proven 2231 01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:28,960 Speaker 2: track record. 2232 01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:32,479 Speaker 1: Now, I mean yeah, but he took Stanford was bad, right. 2233 01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:35,600 Speaker 2: Do you remember they beat USC and. 2234 01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:40,920 Speaker 1: They were like forty one point dogs. It's insane and 2235 01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:42,160 Speaker 1: it literally is insane. 2236 01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:45,439 Speaker 2: I think that was seven we beat USC that year 2237 01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:48,720 Speaker 2: like at home, Like US wasn't invincible that year and 2238 01:51:48,880 --> 01:51:51,519 Speaker 2: Harball still beat him as a forty one on the 2239 01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:58,120 Speaker 2: road in Cosseum, So Michigan. Look, I think in the NFL, 2240 01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:03,680 Speaker 2: but a lot of college football, it's hard to overcome 2241 01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:08,360 Speaker 2: your past, right is more so college football. But I 2242 01:52:08,439 --> 01:52:12,920 Speaker 2: think that in NFL it's overcoming you're losing, Like the 2243 01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,679 Speaker 2: lot of n Dan Campson with the Lions. In college football, 2244 01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:18,920 Speaker 2: we have a lot of programs that talk about the past, right, 2245 01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:24,919 Speaker 2: Texas is one of them, So was Michigan, you know, USC, Washington. 2246 01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:28,680 Speaker 2: It's about what happened twenty thirty years ago. Yeah, and 2247 01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:32,280 Speaker 2: Harball broke through that at Michigan. It's hard to do. 2248 01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:34,280 Speaker 2: The reason why a lot of those schools, Nebraska is 2249 01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:37,360 Speaker 2: another one, just sort of can't break on through it again. 2250 01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:40,639 Speaker 2: And Harbaugh did that. So I give him the respect 2251 01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:43,960 Speaker 2: that he can take that term charging that we talk about, 2252 01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:45,960 Speaker 2: sure and turn it into a positive. 2253 01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:48,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. I think that a couple of 2254 01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:52,040 Speaker 1: things with the Jets. You know, Nathaniel Hackett as the 2255 01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:55,400 Speaker 1: head coach with the Bank of the Broncos disastrous, but 2256 01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:58,519 Speaker 1: he was with the Packers for many years when Aaron 2257 01:52:58,640 --> 01:53:01,040 Speaker 1: Rodgers was still there and they had a lot of success. 2258 01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:03,760 Speaker 2: So he didn't call plays, I know, but I still 2259 01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:05,560 Speaker 2: think that anything, right, Like he didn't call plays in 2260 01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:06,840 Speaker 2: Kansas City. It's hard, like. 2261 01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:10,840 Speaker 1: True, true, But I still think that Rogers with a 2262 01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:13,800 Speaker 1: competent supporting cast, I still think that they can be 2263 01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:19,800 Speaker 1: a functioning, reliable offense and that defense is fantastic. And 2264 01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,560 Speaker 1: look at that division the arrow on the Bills is 2265 01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:24,960 Speaker 1: pointing downward. I'm not saying they're going to be a 2266 01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:28,000 Speaker 1: five to twelve nine playoff team, but they've taken a 2267 01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:30,439 Speaker 1: step back with the talent. They lost a lot of talent, 2268 01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:34,000 Speaker 1: and the Dolphins lost a lot of talent also, And 2269 01:53:34,080 --> 01:53:36,280 Speaker 1: so if you're looking at it from a Jets perspective, 2270 01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:39,799 Speaker 1: you're like, Bro, this division is there for the taking. 2271 01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:44,639 Speaker 1: It absolutely is, and they are flying completely not under 2272 01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:47,800 Speaker 1: the radar, They're not even on the radar. I swear 2273 01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:50,719 Speaker 1: they were the trendy team heading into last season. Rogers 2274 01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:54,320 Speaker 1: got hurt, their season sucked, and no one likes them 2275 01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:56,240 Speaker 1: going into this season. It seems like. 2276 01:53:57,760 --> 01:54:01,080 Speaker 2: Part of that is people don't want to get in Rogers. Yeah, 2277 01:54:01,160 --> 01:54:02,040 Speaker 2: that's that's why. 2278 01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:04,439 Speaker 1: You know. 2279 01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:09,719 Speaker 2: I thought his moved to miss mini camp that was lame. 2280 01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:12,639 Speaker 2: Does it matter for the success of their season? 2281 01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:15,120 Speaker 1: I don't think so. But it's because he made a 2282 01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:18,360 Speaker 1: statement back in January where he was like, everything we 2283 01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:22,760 Speaker 1: do matters, every single thing. This bs that. It's like, Bro, 2284 01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:25,519 Speaker 1: you can't make that statement and then miss. But you're right, 2285 01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:27,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, Brian. 2286 01:54:27,200 --> 01:54:29,040 Speaker 2: It's more about the principle of. 2287 01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:30,840 Speaker 1: What you just said, that's exactly right. 2288 01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:34,160 Speaker 2: Where we get one thing that Aaron Rodgers says and 2289 01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:35,160 Speaker 2: he does something else. 2290 01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:36,600 Speaker 1: That's right totally. 2291 01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:40,160 Speaker 2: And as a leader of that team, I know, I 2292 01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:42,240 Speaker 2: know the player said it doesn't matter, and it may 2293 01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:46,040 Speaker 2: not matter, but everyone else was there and you weren't. 2294 01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:46,840 Speaker 1: That's right. 2295 01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:49,080 Speaker 2: All thirty one of the quarterbacks were in their mandatory 2296 01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:52,640 Speaker 2: mini camp. You were not. And the pushback is, well, 2297 01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:55,320 Speaker 2: he was at the other stuff. Oh okay, he was. 2298 01:54:56,120 --> 01:54:58,000 Speaker 2: But like if you're a parent, you have a kid, 2299 01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:02,040 Speaker 2: and your kid has like one mandatory thing you have 2300 01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:05,720 Speaker 2: to show up for and you're everything else, but you're 2301 01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:09,120 Speaker 2: on a vacation for the mandatory one. Yeah, kid's gonna 2302 01:55:09,160 --> 01:55:11,560 Speaker 2: look at you a little differently, right, right, then show 2303 01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:14,680 Speaker 2: it to the mandatory thing. Yeah, the man the one thing. 2304 01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:17,440 Speaker 2: And people say, well, he scheduled his vacation eleven months out. 2305 01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:20,120 Speaker 2: I went back and looked. The mandatory mini camp is 2306 01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:22,120 Speaker 2: the same week every year. He's a twenty year veteran. 2307 01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:24,480 Speaker 2: He knows what a mini camp is, so he chose 2308 01:55:24,560 --> 01:55:26,880 Speaker 2: not to be a mini camp. But where the rest 2309 01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:29,040 Speaker 2: of his team was the except his son Riddick, right, 2310 01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:32,480 Speaker 2: and all other quarterbacks NFL were at their mini camps. 2311 01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:34,880 Speaker 2: They managed to make it. They managed a not double 2312 01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:38,360 Speaker 2: book manatory mini camp. So to me, that's just another 2313 01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:43,120 Speaker 2: continued pattern for him, but also for the for the franchise, right, 2314 01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:48,200 Speaker 2: who just can't seem to get those moments right. Then 2315 01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:50,760 Speaker 2: on top of that, they botched the whole messaging behind it. 2316 01:55:51,080 --> 01:55:54,040 Speaker 1: Well that was bad. When you know, Sala comes out 2317 01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:56,160 Speaker 1: and says it was unexcused that that's why. 2318 01:55:56,360 --> 01:56:00,520 Speaker 2: Well, it technically is the right they I'm him in 2319 01:56:00,640 --> 01:56:02,760 Speaker 2: that way, it's unexcused. 2320 01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:07,320 Speaker 1: But right, right, But why why frame it that way? 2321 01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:09,480 Speaker 1: I will just say this though, real real fast. Yeah, 2322 01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:12,360 Speaker 1: is I get everything that you're explaining with the Jets, 2323 01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,200 Speaker 1: but you look at what Rogers has to work with 2324 01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:18,760 Speaker 1: and you compare that to what Herbert doesn't have to 2325 01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:19,360 Speaker 1: work well. 2326 01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:21,240 Speaker 2: Well, they're better than the Chargers this year. I'm not 2327 01:56:21,320 --> 01:56:23,040 Speaker 2: on the Charger. I'm on the Chargers are going to 2328 01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:24,400 Speaker 2: win a lot of games this year. I think year 2329 01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:27,040 Speaker 2: two and year three and four, that's what it picks out. 2330 01:56:27,320 --> 01:56:29,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, but this season, I think this season is going 2331 01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:31,360 Speaker 1: to be a struggle. I think it's uphill all right, 2332 01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:35,600 Speaker 1: coming up next?
