So the way we're going to start the 18 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: show today, First of all, I got to make an admission. 19 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's very it's very rare that I have 20 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: to say this, but when I am, I will say it. 21 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: I was wrong. I was wrong about Lebron James having 22 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: played his final game as a Laker. Now we're going 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: to get into the circumstances now that he is opted 24 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: in on his fifty two point six million dollar player 25 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: option on his contract to be with the Lakers next season. 26 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: But first, let's here for Rich Paul. This is the guy, 27 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: of course, is a lifelong friend of Lebron. He runs 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: his operation and everything else. Here was the reasoning behind 29 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: Lebron's opting in for that fifty two point six million dollars. 30 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 4: If you guys heap ten, I'm gonna mention the name, 31 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 4: and you tell me how much you like him. 32 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: Come on, my l of lock. If I can get 33 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: him there, go loot my first choice. 34 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 4: Okay, done deal, that's all I need to get them. 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 4: I'm I'm gonna try my best because that's our because 36 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 4: you are our first choice. If he gets past Brooklyn, 37 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 4: then yeah, but let me make those calls so I 38 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 4: can let you do what you need to do. 39 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, give you come back quet here, I 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: will Okay, I'm I thank you? 41 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 5: All right? 42 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: What exactly shade were we listening to right there? Can 43 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: you identify the exact conversation? 44 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 6: So that will was basically a conversation between the Sun's 45 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 6: owner and Rich Paul. And this was before the draft 46 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 6: It was basically him talking about the their tenth overall 47 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 6: draft pick, who ended up being their tenth overall draft 48 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 6: pick before the draft even happened, saying, hey, if we 49 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 6: can get Pat Brooklyn, if you want them, he's yours. 50 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 6: We can make it happen. I'll make some calls. And 51 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 6: that is the biggest thing. Basically, I make some calls 52 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 6: with something. A lot of people were like, all right, 53 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 6: what's going on? 54 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: All right, so let's let's let's go over this veja 55 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: exactly what went down here. So remember it was Seamswell 56 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: was about a month ago. I had leaked it out 57 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: that it looks like Lebron's going to opt in. I've 58 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: heard the fifty two point six million, and we said 59 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: at the time, this is what we call a plant. 60 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: In other words, we're trying to negotiate an extended deal 61 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: with the Lakers, and they're not biting right now, so 62 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: we're going to threaten them by saying, if you don't 63 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: make a deal with us, we'll take less money. We 64 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: want more years. We're just going to take the fifty 65 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: two point six million dollars. That's what happened. Nothing, And 66 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: now that Mark Walter is taking over controlling interest of 67 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: the Lakers. There will be nothing. So this is it. 68 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: Lebron James is going to his parting gift to the Lakers. 69 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: And in seven years with the Lakers, five years of 70 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: either not making the playoffs or being out in the 71 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: first round, a miracle round run to the Western Conference 72 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: Finals a couple of years ago, which ended in a 73 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: four game sweep by the Nuggets, and then, of course, 74 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: as I said last night in an LA TV commentary, 75 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: a championship that even a die hard Laker fan would 76 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: be hard pressed to give me one memorable moment from 77 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: their NBA Finals victory against the Miami Heat in the 78 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: Bubble in twenty twenty. Even a die hard Laker fan 79 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: would be hard pressed to give me a moment you 80 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: carry with you five years later from that championship. All right, one, 81 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: but most fans can't. But I have one. Okay, So 82 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: but you're you know you're die. Most people have zero 83 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: memory because there was no parade, There was nothing. All right. 84 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: So here we are, right now where Lebron's parting gift 85 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: to the Lakers, screwing them over by taking the fifty 86 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: two point six million dollars which puts them in an 87 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: impossible situation to upgrade their roster, desperately needing a big man. 88 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: You know, you probably get Clint Capella for the midle levels. 89 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: That's what That's not going to move the needle, all right. 90 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: So they're going to have the exact same roster essentially 91 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: as they had a year ago, which ended with an 92 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: embarrassing lots in the first round to the Timberwolves. Expect 93 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: much of the same for the Lakers this year. But 94 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: this move really is Mark Walter who had no choice. 95 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: I mean he has to. Yeah, it's a player option, right, Yeah, 96 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: we're going to have to sit on this for a 97 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: year and then all hell's going to break loose. Everybody's 98 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: on probation, whether it's Reddick, whether it's Polinka, whether it's 99 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: anybody not named Luka. Doncic is literally looking at the 100 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: exit door after this upcoming season. So that's why this happened. 101 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: Lebron again desperate to try to get an extended deal 102 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: with the Lakers, under no circumstance where they're gonna give 103 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: him an extended deal. So he said, we'll screw you. 104 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the fifty two point six million dollars, 105 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna talk about, Yeah, we have a 106 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: wrong chance to win a championship. This is the exact 107 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: same team the Lakers had a year ago, which is 108 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: nowhere near a championship roster. And that's how we have 109 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: gotten to this point. Yeah, Laker fans should be celebrating today. 110 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: You all should be shay you every Laker fan. You 111 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: guys should be really celebrating today. You guys should be 112 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: throwing They should throw a parade because he actually opted 113 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: in to take this money, because you know what this means, 114 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: he's done done, He's done as a Laker. This is 115 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: his last year, and you know what, he's not gonna 116 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: get that he wants. And this is the reason why 117 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: I think. 118 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: They're keeping Jeanie as what was the title. 119 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: Dear de she's the governor. 120 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: The governor, okay, because she's the only one that's left 121 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: that's foolish enough to give this man any and everything 122 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 3: that he's going to ask for, because he wants a 123 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 3: fail Ware tour, he wants the Kobe treatment, he wants 124 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: to Kareem abdul Jabbar treatment. Wherevery arena you go to, 125 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: you celebrate him, You give him a gift. 126 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: Someone puts a rocking cheer out there. 127 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: Ha ha, Like that wasn't done back in nineteen eighty eight, 128 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: already thirty forty years ago. 129 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: Let me tell you. 130 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: Something, man, this signifies the strangle and negative and toxic 131 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 3: stranglehold that Lebron has had on this franchise. And I'm 132 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 3: just one of those sports talk guys that I love 133 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: when things come full circle. Because the day his plane 134 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: landed at the Van Nis private airport, I tweeted, this 135 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: is bad for you, guys. He is going to tear 136 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: this franchise down to the ground or kicking and screaming 137 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 3: trying to on his way out the door when this 138 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: is all done. You mentioned five out of the seven 139 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 3: years you don't even make the playoffs and you're getting 140 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: swept or you're getting knocked out in five in the 141 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,239 Speaker 3: first round. 142 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: You can't tell me this has been successful. Guys. 143 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 3: Nobody respects the Bubble Championship except for Lebron fans. There's 144 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 3: real Laker fans around here to don't tell you. 145 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: They don't really hit that. Yeah, it was what it was. 146 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: It was a chip. But like you said, no parade, 147 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: no celebration. Why let's ask Shay right now. So Shay 148 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: obviously remembers the twenty twenty Championship. What is the most 149 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: memorable moment of that Championship final against the give me, 150 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: give me that moment that you still resonates with you 151 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: five years later. 152 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 6: Well, it wasn't necessary to play that resonates with me. 153 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 6: It was the things that were happening, like the social 154 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 6: media stuff that we were getting while like all the 155 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 6: players were together. So like the fishing, the fishing at 156 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 6: like you know, the pond that they have, right, we 157 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 6: remember that. Yeah, that's something that I always think of 158 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 6: when I always think about it. Oh well that's you know, 159 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 6: but usually I think about a d sitting down, crying, 160 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 6: holding like looking at the confetti, holding the trophy, like 161 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 6: that's what I always think about. 162 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, okay again it is a championship. I'm not 163 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: It is a championship. They won the artist and I 164 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: remember thinking at the time, let's go back five years 165 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: when it was happening. You know, I said that, understand, 166 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing. Lebron is now checked the box. 167 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: He won a championship. In the moment, we don't know 168 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: what the future is holding in twenty twenty, obviously he 169 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: won a championship. He's been a finals MVP now with 170 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: three different franchisees of Miami, Cleveland and the Lakers, and 171 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: he has cemented his position in my opinion. So I've 172 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: say five years ago as the goat. Now at that point, 173 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, all right, this is not going to be 174 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: a one and done. I mean, you're looking at the landscape. 175 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: For most of that year, the Lakers were certainly in 176 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: the top teams in the league, so it wasn't like 177 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: they you know, they just had a miracle run. The 178 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: win in the finals was not a shock based on 179 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: how they had played before the COVID shutdown, But what 180 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: happened after that, the way they dismantled that team and 181 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: got rid of players that they desperately needed. And that's 182 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: on Polinka. It's also on Lebron because Lebron then felt 183 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: like he was in a position where I want to 184 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: bring in my guys, and they started to assemble the 185 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: team that he wanted and it turned out to be 186 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: a disaster. Just two years after winning a championship, they 187 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: had a losing record. They fired Vogel, and since then 188 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: they have been pretty much a non entity in terms 189 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: of being a Championship contender team. 190 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, and if I can finish that that thought about 191 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: as far as what you guys ow to be celebrated. Now, 192 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: you mentioned Rob Polinka. Rop Polinka safe. Rob Polinka is 193 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 3: safe because Rob can say the guy that you mentioned. 194 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: You say, everybody is safe. But whoo we all agree. 195 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: Everybody say, but who Luca? Who got Luca? Rob Polinka 196 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 3: got Luca? Now the league got no what it doesn't matter. 197 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 3: Ropolinka's names on it? 198 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, Ropolica. If they have a repeat it this year, 199 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: I promise you Polinka is out the day. Well I don't. 200 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: But here's that Mark is going to bring in the 201 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: Utah general managers, not some former agent for COVID. Let 202 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: me hold. 203 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: Let me first of all, he's got Kobe. That Kobe 204 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: connection is stronger than you people had given rop Polka 205 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 3: credit for, especially on especially in this town, and the 206 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: the Dodger lover that Kobe Bryant was, and the connection 207 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: that Kobe has, the Magic Johnson that's. 208 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: On that ownership team with the La Dodgers. 209 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 3: No, that connection is a lot stronger than you guys 210 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 3: are given it credit and credence for Rob Linc is 211 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 3: taking way more hate and credit over the protection of Lebron. 212 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: He has tried everything possible to put He got a 213 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: d here, Okay, he got Luca here. 214 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: Like he's tried. 215 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 3: Everything that he was asked to do, and he's the 216 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 3: guy that's brought in the future. The future of this 217 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 3: team is Luca doncs Lebron James taking this thing also 218 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 3: to to put a ball in it. This solidifies Lebron 219 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 3: was never a true Laker. We all know he was 220 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 3: never a true Laker. Just because you put the jersey 221 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: on doesn't mean that you are true. Kevin Garnet want 222 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: to ring with the Celtics. Do you really do think? No, 223 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 3: Kevin Garnett is like a true legend Celtic. No, it's 224 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 3: Paul Pierce, it's not Ray Allen, it's not Kevin Garnett, 225 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 3: it's Kevin McHale, it's Robert Parrish's Dennis Johnson, it's Larry Bird, 226 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: it's Oh, it's those You can win a ring somewhere, 227 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: but that don't put you on the Route Rushmore of 228 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: that franchise. Lebron's not on the Route Mount Rushmore of 229 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 3: the Laker franchise. But this solidifies the end of this 230 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: whole ordeal of do it my way, draft my son, 231 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 3: get this player, get this player. We just heard it 232 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 3: in Monti's great update during Phinney Smith opting. 233 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: Out he's gone. He know, man, he's gone. 234 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 3: He's not gonna resign. Oh, but he can return for 235 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: the Lakers, And I get that's the report. He's not 236 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 3: returning to the Lakers. He's opting out. Lebron is sucking 237 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: up the money. Now, Lucas got to get paid to 238 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: you think You think Phillys and Phinney Smith like decline 239 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: to resign the same deal or a lower deal if 240 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: Lebron not gonna take a pay cut. And lastly, I 241 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 3: remember when Kobe got that sixty mil. Remember that year 242 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: with Timothy Miles, Golf and Louil Dangieose guys came in 243 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 3: and Kobe got ripped for taking that sixty mil. And 244 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 3: my defense is always it wasn't for what he's about 245 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 3: to do or going to do in the future, guys, 246 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 3: it's about for what. 247 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: He's Okay, Well, first of all, I remember when he 248 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: when he shigned in that deal, and it was around 249 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: this time, obviously that Lebron had agreed to equal pay 250 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: with Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade down in Miami and 251 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: I asked, you know, we were the Lakers station and 252 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Kobe was on a lot and I said to him, 253 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: I said, Kobe, I'm gonna ask you right now, would 254 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: you ever take less money to help put some extra 255 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: pieces around you, you know, and free up some cap space. 256 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: And his answer came straight out. He goes, that's not 257 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: my problem. It's not a problem. Not my problem, it's 258 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: not his problem. I mean, when they gave him that 259 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: last twenty five million dollar a year deal after blowing 260 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: his achilles. You know why it's not as problem though, Steve. 261 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 3: It's not his problem because I built this Darnee and 262 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: we're standing. He did not hassles around this city for me. 263 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 3: That's when you've done that, then it's not your problem. 264 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: But when you ain't done that and you say you 265 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: want to win, but you're still going to take the 266 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 3: option of fifty three to fifty four million. 267 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: Dollars, don't tell me you want to win. All right, 268 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: we got a lot of NBA to get to because 269 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: we now have a new champion and they don't seem 270 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: all that thrilled by it.

So 298 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: VJ with you out last week, I never once. Obviously, 299 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: we were previewing Game seven of the NBA Finals, and 300 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: at no point did he even enter my mind that 301 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: coming up was the NBA Draft. Yeah, you literally go 302 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: from a Game seven right into the draft. So look, 303 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: obviously the game seven completely got disrailed when Halliburton decided 304 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: to play with that bum. How many, by the way, 305 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: how mach guys have now blown their achilles playing with 306 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: a bad calf eight this year. It's unreal. I mean, 307 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: these guys don't don't you get if you if you're 308 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: nursing a calf injury, you are putting yourself in danger 309 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: of a season ending Achilles injury, where, by the way, 310 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: you may never be the same player. I mean, it's 311 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: a very short list of players that have come back 312 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: from achilles and played at the same level. Dominique Wilkins 313 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: back in the day was one exception. He's the only one. 314 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: That's it. 315 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 3: I mean, Isiah Thomas's career. It ended a lot of 316 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: guy's career. 317 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, including Kobe. After he blew his achilles, he obviously 318 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: was never the same, except for that last game when 319 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: he threw up fifty shots to score sixty A. Right, 320 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: so like that, well he did, Well you know what, 321 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: why are you going to do it like that? Well, 322 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: you know why. I'll tell you why. I remember sixty 323 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: that night that that was a seventeen and sixty five 324 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: Laker team that year, And I remember going into that 325 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: game on air, and again, you know, you know the 326 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: stories about me and Kobe said this interesting relationship back 327 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: in the day. But his my thing was, I said, guys, 328 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, he's going to take at 329 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: least thirty five shots. Him to shoot. They kept telling 330 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: him to shoot, by the way. It was his last game, 331 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: by the way, when he was the only reason that 332 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: anyone was watching the Lakers after Shack left, and he 333 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: had the eighty one point game, in the sixty three 334 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: points and three quarter game. I used to say during 335 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: that run, at the height of his career, why would 336 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: anybody else shoot? He should shoot fifty shots every night? 337 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: He could go after Will jamwins average, you will kill 338 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: him one air that Kobe Bryant. I'd say that if 339 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: he were sitting it right now. Kobe Bryant holds one 340 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: one career NBA record that will never be touched most misshots. 341 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: He broke, shattered the record of John Havlichik set a 342 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: record that will never be topped. Right at a side, 343 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: So I'm watching the NBA Finals, Halliburton goes down. The 344 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: game's a non game. Oklahoma City pulls the way they 345 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: win Game seven. First of all, did they even know 346 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: at the end of the game they had won. Have 347 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: you ever seen a team like when that first championship 348 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: that had less I don't know, they just, yeah, that 349 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: was nothing. You had a packhouse of these crazy thunder 350 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: fans all decked out in their T shirts. What other 351 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: arena would do that where everybody puts on the T 352 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: shirt nowhere else, right, So they're all psyched up, and 353 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: these guys are just sort of like, yeah, okay, yeah, 354 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: you know what, It's sort of cool. And so that 355 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: underwhelming response to We've seen so many incredible celebrations over 356 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: the years when teams have won NBA championships, and then 357 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: that carries over to the draft, which was so dreadful. 358 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: The draft. Five picks in, I'm already out, like what 359 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 1: else is on? I used to watch every freaking pick. Yeah, 360 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I am so disinterested in what I'm 361 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: watching right now. There is no enthusiasm. There's nothing. I mean, 362 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: just the whole energy had left the room from the 363 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: NBA with that Game seven, with the lack of a 364 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: real celebration for the Thunder and just a dreadful NBA draft. 365 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: And the reason why you saw the celebration is because 366 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 3: I tweeted you. I've done text you. I tweeted you, 367 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 3: but I text you. Oklahoma City got a blessing. They 368 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: got a blessing. I have pacers in five pacers are 369 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 3: gonna win that game. Tyre's Halliburton is on fire and 370 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 3: they're up. It's early in the game. 371 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: I get it. But you could feel that there was 372 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: someone that showed. 373 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 3: Up for Game seven. His name was Terrese Haliburton. And 374 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: then he blows his achilles and you said it yourself. 375 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 3: After he blows his achilles, the air goes out of 376 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 3: the building from all the fans to even the OLDKC players, 377 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 3: because you want to be whoever you're playing for the 378 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 3: championship at full strength. I do even as a fan, 379 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 3: like I don't want the Dolphins to win the AFC East. 380 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: If Josh Allen misses eight games, you're not gonna come 381 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 3: sit on air and bragg Oh, we finally took over 382 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 3: the No Josh Allen miss eight games, you should have won. 383 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: The AFC easy. 384 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 3: If you don't want AFCAS with Josh Sallen is eight games, 385 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: something's wrong with your team. Your team is worse than 386 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 3: you think it is. But this felt like man dog. 387 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 3: I was sick to my stomach. Steve, I didn't want 388 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 3: to watch the rest of the game. I literally just 389 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 3: soaked on the sofa right now. 390 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: It's like, honey, the gamers, I said, brother, this game's over. 391 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 3: Their best player just blew as a Chili's in front 392 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 3: of the world. 393 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: It's over. 394 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 3: And I think they kind of had a feeling of 395 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 3: we don't, we don't. We're not gonna get to celebrate 396 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: because you know, you know, we're gonna be asked all 397 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: night long about Tyrese Haliburn. We're gonna be asked that 398 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 3: during our celebration when we're trying the gun. The only 399 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 3: guy saw I had a really really good time as 400 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 3: Cruso because Cruiso kept a buck and Cruciller says, I 401 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 3: got a real one now. Caruso said, I got a 402 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 3: real one now. And he tried to play like he 403 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 3: was joking, but he hears the same noise and thinks 404 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: the same things that everybody else and most people think 405 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 3: about the twenty twenty Bubble championship for the LA Lakers. 406 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 3: So I thought that that really chilled the energy in 407 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 3: the game, and then it poured over into the draft. Huh, 408 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 3: because the energy is transferable people, I don't care if 409 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: it's TV media, you, your wife, your husband, friend of 410 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 3: Frank coworker. Energy is transferable. Absolutely, He's certainly transferred to 411 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 3: And do you already have people on TV and radio 412 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 3: saying it was such a bad draft. 413 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: It was going to be a bad draft. So okay, 414 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: But again, you pick up on the energy level here. 415 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: That's the whole thing. So not only did okase whether 416 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: they would have won the game or not, and we 417 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: will obviously never know, but we know this, it wouldn't 418 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: have been a walkover at the end of the game, 419 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: all right. So there's a couple of takeaways on Oklahoma City. Now, 420 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: I admitted before the playoffs began, I'm looking at a 421 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: sixty eight win team, sixteen games better than the number 422 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: two seed in the West, which was the superior conference, 423 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: averaging a victory of by thirteen points per game point 424 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: differential for an eighty two game season. Their regular season 425 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: was one of the top ten regular seasons in NBA history. 426 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: But I kept thinking to myself, I really haven't seen 427 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: this team. So now that it's all done and they 428 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: end up winning a championship, here's my takeaway. They're really boring. 429 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City is a boring team. Shake Gills is Alexander 430 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: is a great player deserving of that MVP. He's a 431 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: boring player. He's a mid range shooter. He's not a 432 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: guy like Steph Curry that's making heroic shots. He's not 433 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: doing anything specially. He's a fundamentally very sound basketball player. 434 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: I almost equate this back to the San Antonio Spurs days. 435 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: We're going there, you know, you know, with Tim Duncan, 436 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: Antoni Parker and a Monogenobli, nobody got excited. Every time 437 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: they were in the NBA Finals, you'd see a major 438 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: drop in the ratings. So they're at least right now. 439 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: Based on what I observe from Oklahoma City in this 440 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: playoff run is they are not something I say is 441 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: much watch. So you have a Game seven that falls 442 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: because of the injury to Halliburton and then the complete 443 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: lack of agilation or from Oklahoma City and actually winning 444 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: the championship, and then a couple of days later you 445 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: trickle into the draft and there's no buzz about the 446 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: NBA after the finals, like it ended and it was over. 447 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: No one was talking about, Oh did you watch Oklahoma City? 448 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: And nobody was talking about that, And then you immediately 449 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: go into your draft and it was predictable, especially when 450 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: you essentially had a one player draft. I mean that's 451 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: what it was. 452 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 3: I warned you guys about the draft last week when 453 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 3: I said, I said, after Cooper Flag, what do you got? 454 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: And I'm worried about the NBA, Steve, I really am. 455 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 3: We can touch that on the opposite side as the 456 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 3: update with Monty, but I'll tell you why we go. 457 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 3: I'm really worried about and I wasn't until about a 458 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: week ago. 459 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm very worried about the NBA right now. Well, there's 460 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: a lot to get to and We're going to cover 461 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: it all, but first let's find out what is trending 462 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: right now.

VJ 470 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 5: and Hartman talking about this. But Lebron James is opting 471 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 5: into his fifty two point six million dollar player option 472 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 5: for the upcoming season with the Lakers. Do what you 473 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 5: want with that information. But apparently ESPN with the details 474 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 5: that Lebron wants to cove for a championship next season, 475 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 5: but is uncertain of the Lakers roster moving forward, so 476 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 5: he's evaluating how he wants to end his career. Three 477 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 5: time NBA All Star Julius Randall intends to sign a 478 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 5: new three year, one hundred million dollar deal to stay 479 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 5: with the Timberwoods. 480 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: Okay, see, you guys are just talking about them. Jalen 481 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: Williams Jalen with a y. 482 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 5: Signing a new three year, twenty four million dollar extension 483 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 5: with that franchise. 484 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: Yes, maybe some gambling happening in the NBA. 485 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 5: So the US District Attorney's office is investigating Pistons guard 486 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 5: Malie Beasley on allegations of gambling related to NBA games 487 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 5: and prop bets. As a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, 488 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 5: Beasley and the Pistons were in serious talks on a 489 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 5: new three year, forty two million dollar deal. 490 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: Those talks have been halted. 491 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 5: In the w NBA, the Sparks, they are going to 492 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 5: retire Kandas Parker's number three jersey. She's the only w 493 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 5: NBA player top ten in. 494 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: Points, assists, rebounds, blocks. She is it, She is it. 495 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: She needs a statue, she does? Why not? 496 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 3: She needs a statue on a crypto. They could put 497 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 3: her and Lisa Leslie statue. 498 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: I love that idea. Right next to way, right next 499 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: to next to Lebron's statue. Lebron's not getting a statue 500 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: if he gets a statue there. 501 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 3: He's not getting a statue. He missed his opportunity when. 502 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: They sold the team. Yeah, people don't under state what's 503 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: about to happen with the LA Ladies.

Yes, 563 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: quick question for you. 564 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 3: You mentioned Lebron should have a trophy because he won finals, 565 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 3: MVP and a championship. So should Yannis have a trophy 566 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 3: in Milwaukee? 567 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: No? No, no, First of all, you're you're misrepresenting. I 568 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: didn't say he should, I said he will. There's two 569 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: different things. Oh, okay, I didn't say he should have. 570 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: I said he will have. They will use they will. 571 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: Lebron will have a statue, all right, whether he deserves 572 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: it or not. Lebron's gonna have a statue here in 573 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: LA in l A, and he will have his number 574 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: hanging in the banners there at Crypto dot com. It 575 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 1: will never happened. I can't wait. It'll never happen. It'll 576 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: never happened. Well, looking, if it was the Bus family, 577 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Let me let me tell you this. 578 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: Wilt Chamberlain, Okay, Will Chamberlain. Wilt Chamberlain came to the 579 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: Lakers when they still had Jerry West and Elgin Baylor 580 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: at the high of their career. There was a feeling 581 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: when they made that trade with the Sixers that the 582 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: Lakers literally were going to go eighty two to zero. 583 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: Like clearly you have literally three of the all time 584 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: Super btars and and they won one championship in five years. Well, 585 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: by the way, was the Finals MVP in seventy two. 586 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: But when you think about it, he didn't really deliver 587 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 1: what they thought. You lose to the Celtics and Bill 588 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: Russell in a series you should have won, and they 589 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: ended up losing two out of three NBA finals to 590 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: the Knicks. They finally got one. So your argument, well, 591 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: I mean, why is Wolf's number up there. In a 592 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: lot of ways, Wilt's run with the Lakers is very 593 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: similar to Lebron's run with the Lakers in terms of 594 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: what the expectations were and what the expectations actually happened. 595 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: So I'm not saying Will doesn't have his number tired. 596 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: I'm an old time Wilt fan. I've said he's the 597 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: most dominant player in the Yeah, you and I both 598 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: and but you know, Lebron is Lebron, and his resume 599 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: includes a lot of accolades that were achieved while he 600 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: was a Los Angeles Laker. He had all nbas A Finals, MVP, 601 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: a championship, all time scoring record, All of that happened 602 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: while he was a Laker. That will get you. And 603 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: obviously he'll be in the Hall of Fame, and they 604 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: retire jerseys of Lakers that are in the Hall of Fame. 605 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 3: I don't see I have this, Like I said, this 606 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 3: owner I'm going with the ownership of this ownership group 607 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 3: does not owe him that. If it was the Bus family, 608 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 3: I would be one hundred percent on the side with you. 609 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 3: But this is a new ownership group, and by the 610 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: time that stuff comes around or it's even talked about 611 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 3: of retiring his because it's not gonna happen this year, 612 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 3: it's not gonna happen next year. 613 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: Well, how do you know he's not gonna happen this year? Well, 614 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: if he makes a killer You were talking earlier about 615 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: his farewell tour, if he if he if the season 616 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: begins and he decides, Okay, this is it, I'm not 617 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: gonna go to and there I know it's not let's 618 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: just say he did. I agree that I think he 619 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: wants to extend his career for many more years as 620 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: long as he can actually milk it. But if he 621 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: were to do that, yeah, that would be part of it. 622 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: They would have the farewell tour and then they would 623 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: have his number retired and they begin construction on the 624 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: new statue.

Losing record, not 670 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: just in the conference overall, they had a losing season. 671 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: So they invested millions of dollars to bring in the 672 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: second and third rank high school players in the country, 673 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, they got zero out of it. 674 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: And so then when you look at the A's Bailey 675 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: situation and to some extent, some of the other guys 676 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: in this draft, this this is what changes with nil money. 677 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: You're already a multimillionaire. You've already made millions of dollars 678 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: the idea of jumping into the NBA, and now all 679 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, all that hard work is going to 680 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: pay for you to take care of your family yourself. 681 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: You've already got the money in the bank. So that 682 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: thrill of getting drafted the NBA, it's like, what you mean, 683 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: I might actually take less money this year? Is that 684 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: what you're talking about? Why would I celebrate a deal 685 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: in the NBA where I'm going to get paid less 686 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: than I was being paid when I was playing in college. 687 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: So this is part of it right now. You know 688 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: you were talking about the NBA has got problems moving forward. 689 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: They got a lot of problems moving forward. But again, 690 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: the lack of enthusiasm coming from Oklahoma City and winning 691 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: a championship and the lack of enthusiasm for most of 692 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: these kids that were picked high in this draft speaks volumes. Look, 693 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: it's about money, and I before I don't want to 694 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: be dismissed. A's like, wow, you're just bitter about the money. 695 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: Everything else. The money's understandable. If you have guaranteed money, 696 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: generational money in your bank account, regardless of the product 697 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 1: you produce, where's the motivation. Some guys are self motivated. 698 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: We know that there are guys like Tom Brady. There 699 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: were guys it was never about the money. It was 700 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: never about the money for a Jordan or a Magic 701 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: or it was about you know, they're driven to be 702 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: the best. That's rare. Most people's instinct is I'm secure, 703 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm set, and what do I have to do? Oh yeah, 704 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: I go on the basketball cart, great, and I'm still 705 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,280 Speaker 1: guaranteed money no matter what. Unfortunately, that is human nature, 706 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: and that is what we're seeing infiltrating. I think both 707 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: the NFL and the NBA, I'm not sure if I 708 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: totally agree with that. 709 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 3: I think the NBA is just in trouble because they 710 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 3: haven't taken care of the gang. We haven't taken care 711 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 3: of the game of basketball, and now we're seeing these achilles. 712 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 3: And you got guys talking about shortening the season like 713 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 3: it just shows such a weak mentality. I think of 714 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 3: the four professional sports leagues, the league that's got the 715 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 3: weakest and got the most uninteresting has been the Lakers. 716 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 3: We talk about pair I mean that the lakerscuse me, 717 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 3: the NBA, we talk about parody, have non champions, I 718 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 3: believe in the last twelve years, right, it was out 719 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 3: in a seven straight different chance, seven straight different champions, 720 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 3: and also seven straight champions that were eliminated in the 721 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,919 Speaker 3: second round the following year. So nobody can even get 722 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 3: back to the finals. Who wins it? So, Oklahoma City, 723 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 3: if you want to go with the money guys, and 724 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 3: you want to go with the trend the traders, Oklahoma 725 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 3: City is not getting back to the NBA finals. Next 726 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 3: year is going to be a new representation, and it 727 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 3: could be the Houston Rockets with a team that they're 728 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 3: building with Kevin Durant now and some of the other pieces. 729 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: Well, and then the point again is if they're that disinterested, 730 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: seemingly and winning a championship, where's their motivation to win another? 731 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 3: Well, and you look at Jokis, right, we saw the 732 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 3: same thing about Yogis Jokis took a lot of heat 733 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 3: for basically saying he didn't want to go to the parade. 734 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: I want to go home. I want to go back 735 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: to Serbia. I want to go back to my country 736 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: and check. 737 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 3: On my one hundred acre horse horse farm and hang 738 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:58,439 Speaker 3: out with. 739 00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: My brothers and ride our horse. 740 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 3: I don't care about a championship in spraying champagne all 741 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 3: over myself with no shirt on, in human hot weather, 742 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 3: I don't want to do that. But we are getting 743 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 3: used to happen to push these athletes to try to 744 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 3: want to celebrate look a certain way, and I just 745 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 3: think they haven't taken care of the game man, and 746 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 3: the motivation. Like you said, use the right word, the motivation. Now, 747 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 3: what's their motivation? They're making so much money off the court, 748 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 3: and these guys you. 749 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: Know, are you now they're doing it in college, which 750 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: obviously lends less interest from the players standpoint in where 751 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: they're drafted. However, I want to get into a Spaidley 752 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: on the other side. So because his is an interesting 753 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: story that I think is going to become more the 754 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: norm than the exception, we'll explain. This is Fox Sports Sunday. 755 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio Harbin and Husky 756 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday. They don't even want to know what 757 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: we were just talking about. Conversation ever ends here. Our 758 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: commercial conversations are crazy. I mean, it's we throw it 759 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: at there. Oh yeah, there's a lot of crap, but 760 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: that's okay, and it's all good stuff. 761 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 2: Now. 762 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: So you know, we're talking about where we're going right 763 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: now with the NBA and in terms of you know, 764 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: the money that's out there, and you know the A's 765 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: Bailey situation where he basically informed teams say he don't 766 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: don't bother, I will not show up. Now he did 767 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: show up in Utah, which is interesting because I don't 768 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: know how soldy is on Utah. But this gets down 769 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: to one thing and one thing alone. If A's Melee 770 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: had decided to stay at Rutgers, first of all, he 771 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't have stayed at Rutgers. He would have entered the 772 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: transfer portal and he would have made huge money. I mean, 773 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: the bidding wars would go all over the place, much 774 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: as there were when he came out of high school. 775 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: He was rated the number two high school player in 776 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: the country, behind Cooper Flag and Rutgers came up with 777 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: the most money, so he went to Rutgers that joined 778 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: Dylan Harper. There didn't work out obviously in terms of 779 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: Rutgers winning any basketball games. But this is where we're 780 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: going right now in terms of players trying to control 781 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: their destiny. Is so illegal. I mean, it's ridiculous. These 782 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: drafts where you are telling a player this is where 783 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: you're going to play. You do not know. When we 784 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: talk about the NFL and the NBA, how many potential 785 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame careers have been derailed by players going 786 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: into the wrong team at the wrong time and it 787 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: turns out to be an absolute disaster for their future 788 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: in professional sports. So I don't blame Ace Bailey, but 789 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: we're going to see more of this because now they 790 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: have that ace in the hole where they can hit 791 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: that transfer portal, highest bidder. They can make more money 792 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: by staying an extra year and maybe getting a better 793 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: position to go to a team they want to go 794 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: in the draft the following year. How about this those things? 795 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 3: How about if you're a team owner in the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, 796 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 3: you don't really hit us in the NHL. Those guys 797 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,479 Speaker 3: are hockey peers like they just want to play hockey. 798 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 3: They don't give a damn where it is. But in 799 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 3: the NBA, let's just stick there. How About you just 800 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 3: take care of your franchise. How About you just do 801 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 3: what's right. How about you try to actually win. How 802 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,240 Speaker 3: about you try to show that it's not about because 803 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 3: these owners are going to put money in their pockets, 804 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 3: they can just say the Lakers' just sold for ten 805 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 3: billion dollars. Okay, so you don't have to put the 806 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 3: best product on the floor. We watched Dolan do this 807 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 3: for years with the Knicks, regardless of whether the. 808 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: Team was good or not. 809 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 3: It sells out every It's the only team in the 810 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 3: league that sells out every single night. And they won 811 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 3: a championship since the seventies, haven't been to the finals since. 812 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: The ninety nine. 813 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 3: Its last time they refiners get the Spurs in the 814 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 3: fifty game season. 815 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: It's how about just do that? 816 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 3: And then, because if I'm a kid coming into the league, 817 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 3: like you said, I don't blame as Bailly actually kind 818 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 3: of side a lot of this talk that he's getting 819 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 3: from a lot of TV and radio people because you're 820 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 3: not in his position. Okay, you don't I don't and 821 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 3: ask you off they are doing the commercial, do you 822 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 3: have any I know it's the Jazz, but they do 823 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 3: have some new front office people there. 824 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: The last name is Age. It's a successful last. 825 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 3: Name in this league. And I actually, do you put 826 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 3: in what you looked at me right now? I'm like, 827 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 3: do you put. 828 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: Any creta I feel about Danny inghel and in the name? 829 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 3: Do you put into credence in the name to turn 830 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,720 Speaker 3: them around? But who's begging to go to the Utah Jazz? 831 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 3: Look what your franchise has been. 832 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: Why would I want to come play for you? Oh? 833 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: I should just be grateful to be here, though I 834 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,720 Speaker 1: hate those days are over now because again with nil money. 835 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: By the way, you know when they put this cap 836 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: on the nil money at twenty point five million dollars, 837 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: you know what you just did. You just wiped out 838 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,240 Speaker 1: all the Olympic sports if you're a non revenue generating sport, 839 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: because you are going to spend every cent on football, 840 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: men's basketball, a few women's basketball teams, and that is it? 841 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: All right? We got a lot of NFL news to 842 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,800 Speaker 1: get to. This is Fox Sports Sunday, roll along on 843 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: another busy sports Sunday. This is Fox Sports Sunday, and 844 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: we are in the Fox Sports Radio studios, a right 845 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: full hour of NBA behind us. We got to get 846 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: some NFL talk in right now. By the way, one 847 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: of the strangest stories that came out this week was 848 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:09,760 Speaker 1: the Justin Tucker story. This thing because here is a guy. 849 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: Think about this for a second. Justin Tucker ever out 850 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: all these accusations about his inappropriate behavior with all these meside. 851 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: You know, it was the old Deshaun Watson situation, right, 852 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: So now it's Justin Tucker and for some reason, the 853 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: guy that was literally the greatest kicker in the history 854 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: of the NFL in terms of accuracy just about any measure. 855 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: This guy had now had gotten to the level where 856 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: he was recognized as the greatest place kicker in the 857 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: history of the NFL, and all of a sudden, he 858 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: can't make a kick anymore. So you were like, what's happening? 859 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: What happened here with Justin Tucker? How do you go 860 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,240 Speaker 1: from the absolute best to one of the worst kickers 861 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: in the league in terms of accuracy. But the one 862 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: thing he was adamant about is that these are false accusations. 863 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: There's nothing to this. This is completely false. And then 864 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: he chooses to accept a ten game suspension that was 865 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: an option given to him, and he and his advisors 866 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: decided to put an end to this. I'm going to 867 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: accept a ten game suspension. Well, you just guaranteed now 868 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: that we always know you're guilty, because if you are 869 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 1: an innocent man, no one would accept a ten game suspension, which, 870 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: by the way, you're a free agent. Anyway, What team's 871 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: going to sign Justin Tucker knowing he has to sit 872 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: out ten games. His career in the NFL is over. 873 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: But the idea that he's still trying to maintain that 874 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: somehow he's an innocent man and still accepted a ten 875 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: game suspension for being what Why would you do that? 876 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,320 Speaker 1: Why would you not fight it? You're a free agent. 877 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 1: No one's going to sign Justin Tucker. Now he's damaged goods, 878 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:46,399 Speaker 1: it's over. I was just in shock. I first of all, 879 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: he'll kick again in the NFL. 880 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 3: The NFL is the league of third, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, 881 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 3: nine thirty seven chances. 882 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: The NFL is remember this. The reason Ray Rice never 883 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: played again was not because he got suspended, because we 884 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: saw it. Because his game had fallen so far off 885 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: the map. You look at his last two years, he 886 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: was now barely averaging three yards of carry. If he 887 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: was still an elite player, he would have he would 888 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: have gotten another opportunity in the NFL. I guarantee. 889 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 8: You're also talking about Kickers, where once you fall off, 890 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 8: you never come back. 891 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I give I give a little credit to that. 892 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 3: But I always felt once we saw the video, once 893 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 3: we saw. 894 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: It, it was like, oh, did we do we see 895 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: the Kareem Hunt? And did we see that? They see 896 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: Joe Mixon knocking out a girl on video one thousand times? 897 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: But thet up But the situations were you know why 898 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: they're still playing because they could still play. The situations 899 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: were different. 900 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 3: Like I said, I just I just slightly disagree now 901 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 3: with Justin Tucker, Chris, you just chiming in. 902 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 1: Once it's gone, is gone. 903 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 3: But there's always a GM that feels like they could 904 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 3: save a guy. There's always one person, so many kickers 905 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 3: that just like that felt like, well, their diamond doesn't 906 00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 3: but their game, their names not at all. 907 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: Justin sub who's done it so he has done it 908 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,919 Speaker 1: for two years though. That's the point. 909 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 3: I just feel like that he'll still this guy's holding 910 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 3: jobs in the NFL right now. They haven't done anything 911 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 3: in two years. That doesn't Yeah, but for a kicker, 912 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 3: that means your career is over. 913 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 8: Like like every trends nine, the trend shows Justin Tucker 914 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 8: was already on his way out of this league right 915 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 8: before these accusations have. 916 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, j I know we're on the radio. I want 917 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: you to watch this one more time here Joe Mixon, Actually, 918 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: let's see it one more time. Let's see that right 919 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: right here. Boom, Okay, now, how is that guy still 920 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: in the league? Well, like, how is that guy still 921 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: in the league? I think the situations were different different. 922 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: A girl pushes him and then he knocks her out. 923 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 1: It's on video. The reason Joe Mixon is still playing 924 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: is that he still has game. 925 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 3: So with Justin Tucker, like I said, I just think 926 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 3: that there's always there's always somebody who thinks they can 927 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 3: uh save somebody. You take, you take the suspension, Like 928 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 3: I said, I guess you want to. 929 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: Make it go away. I went there. I don't know 930 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: what happened. It was a weird it went in a 931 00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: weird story. 932 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 3: It's like, oh, okay, there was those inappropriate behavior things 933 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 3: during those sessions. 934 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 1: He's taking this ten weeks suspension. Uh. 935 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 3: And if you're gonna take a suspension, people already have 936 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 3: their mind made up whether you're guilty or not. People 937 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 3: already have their mind made up whether you're guilty or 938 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 3: not already. So you take the suspension, you move on. No, no, no, 939 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 3: you take the suspension and you move on from it. 940 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 3: I think that's why you take the suspension. You could 941 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 3: still say I'm innocent, but people already have in the 942 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 3: court of public opinion, people already have their minds made up. 943 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 3: You can't change people's minds no more then the one thing. 944 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 3: Everybody's got their mind made up, whether they like them 945 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 3: or don't, or whether he's guilty or not. So it 946 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 3: doesn't matter if he says he's innocent or guilty. It 947 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 3: doesn't matter if we let it all play out. It 948 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 3: doesn't matter if he has a civil suitent and pays 949 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:43,879 Speaker 3: the pays women. 950 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,399 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. We all have an opinion that that's 951 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: already concrete. 952 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 3: The argument, take the suspension so you can move, so 953 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 3: you can move past it. 954 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: Well, I'm mean again, all you do is like a 955 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, right, I suspend it for a year and 956 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,280 Speaker 1: then gets the biggest contract in the history of the NFL. 957 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean that's all guarant' that's Cleveland stupid fault. Yeah, 958 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 3: that's Cleveland stuper fault. But you take the suspension so 959 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 3: you know you can move on from. 960 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: Him, man. So I mean, it's just I think the 961 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 1: bottom line is I agree with you. In terms of 962 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,720 Speaker 1: the public opinion. They're good, They're gonna doesn't matter. People 963 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 1: already have their people already have their mind. The reason 964 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 1: I like that Justin Tucker is not going to play 965 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: again is that if he was still making ninety five 966 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 1: percent of its kicked, of course he would have a job. 967 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,959 Speaker 1: He doesn't. He's not doing that anymore. So was Justin talker. 968 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: I didn't pull his age up there just kickers can 969 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 1: go forever. That's why he was on or whatever. But no, 970 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean he looked like he was on its way. 971 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: It shattered the all time records of Vinitieri and all you. 972 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 3: Guys know, if you ever get signed again, I'm going 973 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 3: to take a victory lap on air, right. I just 974 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,959 Speaker 3: wanted to just so you know, if. 975 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,840 Speaker 1: You ever get signed again, because you got because honestly. 976 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean we used say things on the air. We remember, 977 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 1: I think. And by the way, by the way, A 978 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 1: J and I have reunited on the show. He remembers 979 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: everything I said. I tried to tell people. Man, don't 980 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 1: say something to me. Don't remember as soon as something 981 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 1: happens that I was wrong. I mean, I can count 982 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: on a text in about half a second. Oh, Husky's there, 983 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: there he is again. Yeah, yeah, man. Well, I mean 984 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 1: but I love it. I love that. I love the 985 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,879 Speaker 1: fact that you were, like, you know, well, Hella burd 986 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 1: going down. You know that doesn't count. No, that doesn't count. 987 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 1: That he picked I said, I didn't take it. I 988 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: said they were gonna win in four maybe five games, 989 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: So I don't I certainly don't take credit for O 990 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 1: Casey winning in seven. 991 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 3: The only reason why I text you what I text 992 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 3: you was because I think I still have I like 993 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 3: I I was. I guess I was wrong because the 994 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 3: Pacers didn't win in seven, but Halliburn going down in 995 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 3: the first quarter toing Achilles. I kind of think I 996 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 3: get a Mulligan for that, Shane, What do you think? 997 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 1: Do I get a monkey? Shaye? Hear me?

No, no, 1053 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean he was on the couch. 1054 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,399 Speaker 3: So Sam, you was on You were on the couch 1055 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 3: because you weren't no good. That's why you want to 1056 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 3: let the players aren't sitting on the couch. Guys, there's 1057 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 3: a reason why Took's posting videos. If I'm out running people, 1058 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 3: dude during your mid to late forties, yeah you can run, 1059 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 3: but can you put on pads and can you do 1060 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 3: it for eighteen weeks going against guys ten to fifteen 1061 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 3: years younger than you, just trying to take your head off. 1062 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 3: The answer is a resounding no. So so, but people 1063 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 3: go to you can still get it done. If you 1064 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 3: could still get it done, somebody would have them. Guys, 1065 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 3: you think there are football people out there that aren't 1066 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,320 Speaker 3: trying to sign players that can get it done. 1067 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: That's not their job, you know. Honestly, I was thinking 1068 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: about this, you know, comeback Player of the Year because 1069 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,880 Speaker 1: it's it's very vague on It's almost like MVP. I mean, what, 1070 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: how do you measure value value to the team in 1071 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: terms of you know, teams? That's like what is You 1072 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: could say there's a guy in the last place team 1073 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 1: that actually is more valuable to his team than the 1074 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: guy that's, you know, the best player on the best team. 1075 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 1: But then I was thinking about this, if should Or 1076 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: Sanders your favorite guy. If should Or Sanders comes out, 1077 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 1: becomes a starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and has 1078 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: a great season, obviously he'll be in consideration for Offensive 1079 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,280 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, but he should be in terms 1080 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: of comeback Player of the year. You say come back 1081 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: from what he's a rookie? I said, come back from 1082 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 1: falling in the draft all the way down the fifth round. 1083 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 1: You talk about a comeback, right, If you were projected 1084 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: to be a top ten pick in the NFL draft 1085 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 1: and you fall to the fifth round, then have a 1086 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,280 Speaker 1: great season, shouldn't you be considered for come Back Player 1087 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:30,799 Speaker 1: of the Year. 1088 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 3: To go on past that shot stands, so hey, listen, 1089 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 3: I'm standing all my soapbox with it. I know he's 1090 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 3: going to be at some point this season. This season, 1091 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 3: and it couldn't be the start of the year. He's 1092 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,279 Speaker 3: going to be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, right, 1093 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 3: so he'll. 1094 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 1: Be up for it. By the way, we did an 1095 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,399 Speaker 1: overrunning because we got perfect picks coming up here, so 1096 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 1: that seemed low, right and a half and a half 1097 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 1: hold the team of the playoffs. I ain't said it. 1098 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: I just set the over on the Vegas bit. I'm 1099 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,720 Speaker 1: taking the over all right, coming up on the other side, 1100 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: and has been much talked about the introduction of a 1101 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 1: over under segment, unlike anything on sports talk radio around 1102 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,479 Speaker 1: the world.

All right? So before 1108 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: we get started, VJ have some bookkeeping to do. I 1109 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 1: do not think DJ is last week you were not 1110 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 1: here and Chris had told me. 1111 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,479 Speaker 8: There are two things that we have to redress. Well, 1112 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,399 Speaker 8: the first thing we have to do there is good 1113 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 8: and bad. The first let's get the bad news from 1114 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 8: J out of the way, because I think you had 1115 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,359 Speaker 8: thought you had gotten pretty close to tying the up. 1116 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,880 Speaker 8: What the news that I had dropped when you weren't 1117 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 8: here was that I had actually gone through my car 1118 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 8: and I found a sheet of picks from one week 1119 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 8: that I had completely forgotten the tabulates. So it puts 1120 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 8: you in a little bit more of a hole. I 1121 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 8: was first of all, I was up, so I was 1122 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 8: never in a hole. The last score you gave with 1123 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,359 Speaker 8: seven to five VJAS, so I was d too. 1124 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:23,360 Speaker 1: So last week gave me an update and thirteen to nine. 1125 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, we missed. We missed a bunch of picks, 1126 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 8: so we had to fix that. 1127 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,439 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Now. 1128 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 8: The next problem is both you put in the same 1129 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,280 Speaker 8: card last week and Steve. 1130 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:33,839 Speaker 1: There is some. 1131 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 8: Commotion in here about whether or not you were true, Like, 1132 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure you were asking me to go with 1133 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 8: Vj's picks first, and yet somehow, in spite of us, half. 1134 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,040 Speaker 1: Attack was not on the cowwrawly pick. No, no, no, 1135 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: you had three picks last week. Yes, we had picks 1136 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 1: last week, and one of them, I said, I the 1137 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 1: first one. He gave me his pick and I picked 1138 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 1: the same thing because I couldn't go the opposite way, right, 1139 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 1: But the Colwally thing I picked first, and I said, 1140 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll the dice go over And I said, 1141 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 1: what if the day pick? And he said he went over. 1142 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm like he went over three and a half as well. Honestly, 1143 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna split with him on that 1144 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,839 Speaker 1: one and roll the die said Rawley was gonna get 1145 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:12,479 Speaker 1: three and a half, so real. 1146 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 3: Fast, I'm gonna let you get it up. But the 1147 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 3: fact that I was up seven five and you guys 1148 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,360 Speaker 3: are telling me I'm now thirteen. Now you're telling me 1149 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,360 Speaker 3: Steve made up eight points off one piece of paper. 1150 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 1: So y'all gonna have to show me that. But I 1151 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 1: can't tell you because you must show you a full scoreboard. 1152 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,800 Speaker 8: At least I'll show you through and how it's been tabulated. 1153 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 8: So let's go either way. You guys finished that with 1154 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 8: only one point a piece from last week, both of 1155 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,919 Speaker 8: you predicting under local affiliates cutting away from Game seven 1156 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 8: early so that puts the score right now and we'll 1157 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 8: do the accounting later. Fourteen to ten going into this, 1158 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 8: So let's get let's get going. 1159 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 1: You know what. 1160 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 8: I'm gonna start with the picks that we're gonna have 1161 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,400 Speaker 8: for the week, and then we'll do some NFL futures. Okay, 1162 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 8: So first things first, I know, I just came in 1163 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 8: and there asked you whether you'd rather do Djokovic or 1164 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,640 Speaker 8: al Karaz. I am, and you guys said al Karaz, 1165 00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 8: I think it's more interesting to do this on the 1166 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,839 Speaker 8: joke Kovich side. We do have Wimbledon coming up, and 1167 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 8: Alkoraz and Djokovic are really the only two to talk about. 1168 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,759 Speaker 1: On the men's single side, Djokovic, of course, is once 1169 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:09,959 Speaker 1: again pulling the card. 1170 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 8: He doesn't know if this is gonna be his last dance, 1171 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,920 Speaker 8: et cetera, et cetera, et centraa blah blah blah blah blah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1172 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,800 Speaker 8: get a job either way. Djokovic over under four and 1173 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 8: a half rounds in progress in wimbleded. Basically, will he 1174 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:31,439 Speaker 8: make the quarterfinals? Well, Djokovic make the quarter Yeah, over 1175 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 8: under four and a half rounds. If you're going over, 1176 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 8: you say he's in the quarterfinals, you go under. He's 1177 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,680 Speaker 8: getting knocked out anywhere between rounds one and four. 1178 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 1: By the way, he is the sixth seed, so that 1179 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 1: puts you, you know, in the quarterfinal round. That's where 1180 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 1: he's so good there. That's the thing. He's so good there. 1181 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: I you know, it's wow. You want me to go first. 1182 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: This could be tricky. This could be very tricky. So 1183 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 1: if he gets bounced in the fourth round, it's an under. 1184 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 1: He gets to the quarters, it's an over. Yes, I 1185 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: got a sneaking suspicion he ain't making the quarters. I'm 1186 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 1: gonna go under. 1187 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:20,480 Speaker 7: Now. 1188 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 8: You see why I did those with Djokovic, because if 1189 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 8: I had said this was aligned with Alcocarez. 1190 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 3: Is in the fights in the finals. Man, all right, 1191 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,960 Speaker 3: give me over. I ain't still got a little left 1192 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:35,399 Speaker 3: in the tank. 1193 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: You know. 1194 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 3: It's miss miss some missing time, but wimbled in. I 1195 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,879 Speaker 3: think I think he's showing up to try to prove 1196 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 3: something with a chip on his shoulder. Quarter finals. I 1197 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 3: think he can get there as long as you never 1198 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 3: have to run. It's a center or alcatrash person. 1199 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, he is saying, if he's ever 1200 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: gonna get that twenty fifth, the most likely place he 1201 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 1: tightens his wi. 1202 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,759 Speaker 3: He's best on that exactly, all right, give me the 1203 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 3: all right, I got him in. 1204 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 8: A quarter of bum Yeah, yeah, I can tell you, guys, 1205 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,759 Speaker 8: you can put me over for Pim's Cup number one 1206 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 8: throughout this entire entire thing. I love drinking that stuff. Anyway, 1207 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,040 Speaker 8: this one, you know what, Steve, you're going. You're going 1208 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 8: second after this, because this one's near and dear to 1209 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 8: both my heart and to VJ. Malik Beasley got himself 1210 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 8: in some hot water here. Apparently Detroit is just the 1211 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 8: capital of guys who are playing sports, also gambling on sports, 1212 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:30,840 Speaker 8: as the US Department of Justice as open investigation on 1213 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 8: him gambling. 1214 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,360 Speaker 1: So this, this breaks my heart a little bit. 1215 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 8: I think he was in line for a big two 1216 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 8: year contract with Detroit that is now just going to 1217 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 8: be completely blown up. 1218 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 1: I guess my question is how fast does the league act? 1219 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,520 Speaker 8: So VJ over under four and a half days until 1220 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 8: the NBA suspends Malik. 1221 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 1: Beasley four and a half days. 1222 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 3: So then by Thursday mornings, ease Vidacar over Kellen today? 1223 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 8: Yes, so I guess Thursday at now Thursday noon, Daniel noon, 1224 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,439 Speaker 8: is he suspended by the National Basketball Association. 1225 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 1: Free agency starts this week. Man and his as a 1226 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 1: pull that deal. They've halted those talks. They must know something. 1227 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 8: Get me under, apparently, according to some like book guys, 1228 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 8: I know like books started to his activity from Elik 1229 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 8: Diazeley as way back as like January of twenty. 1230 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 1: Twenty four, right when he was with the Bucks. Yeah, 1231 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 1: so you're going under. I think this happens fast, over 1232 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:35,439 Speaker 1: over over. I mean, come on, guys. His attorney even 1233 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 1: said it, and it sent until proven guilty. NBA don't 1234 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 1: have to do it. They don't care about that. And 1235 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 1: they don't care about that. I didn't care about that. No, 1236 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 1: we're we're will leak b When we sit here a 1237 00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 1: week from today, BAC will still not be suspended. He 1238 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 1: won't be. Yeah, he won't be. SI I know by it, 1239 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:55,520 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Yeah. 1240 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 8: All right, one more live one and then we'll get 1241 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 8: onto some NFL futures. I've got a bit of a conundrum. 1242 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 8: I wanted to throw a soccer one in here because 1243 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 8: I know it'll tee off Steve Hart and I guess 1244 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 8: the question is am I going Gold Cup or am 1245 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 8: I going Club World Cup? 1246 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 1: And I think it doesn't really matter to me because 1247 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 1: my disinterested is equal. You hate both. I understand that. 1248 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,439 Speaker 8: I feel like I've got to go to the Gold 1249 00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 8: Cup just because I have been slagging off Team USA 1250 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 8: pretty hard, and now they're in the quarterfinal, and we 1251 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,640 Speaker 8: just talked a little bit earlier with Mansei about Costa 1252 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 8: Rica versus the USA. The over under for this game 1253 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,240 Speaker 8: is two and a half goals. But I'm not interested 1254 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,360 Speaker 8: in the game. I'm actressed in the side of the 1255 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 8: US men's side. They have shown themselves after some really 1256 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,960 Speaker 8: gnarly friendlies to start really scoring again, even though there's 1257 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 8: still a lot of consternation that none of the guys 1258 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 8: are right there. Their big men are there for the 1259 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 8: team to practice and get ready for the World Cup. 1260 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 8: But over under one and a half goals for Team 1261 00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 8: USA in the Costa Rica quarterfinal of the Gold Cup. 1262 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 3: Over the USA two to one tonight. 1263 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:00,320 Speaker 1: Let me ask this. 1264 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 8: You say the overrunner is one and a half? Was 1265 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 8: that one and a half goals specifically for Team USA 1266 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 8: is zero? 1267 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,760 Speaker 1: Less than one and a half? It is zero is 1268 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,919 Speaker 1: what they'll score. So the the yeah zero, I thought 1269 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,160 Speaker 1: you were going to have like a half and then 1270 01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 1: you go one and a half. I'm like, what are 1271 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 1: you just ANIMI money? What are you doing? Well? 1272 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 8: The main again Zero? The game's line is two and 1273 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 8: a half. Yeah, and that's for Costa, Rica and USA combined. 1274 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,040 Speaker 8: So I felt like zero, let's just do that and 1275 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 8: shave one. 1276 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: D okay, zero? You are? You are weight down on 1277 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 1: that two to one USA and Richard scores a goal. 1278 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 1: I like that, kid? 1279 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 8: Would you have rather I did in the Club World Cup? 1280 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 8: So you could rande about the Club World Cup, Steve 1281 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,280 Speaker 8: or you just don't care.

It's honestly, 1443 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: I will tell you right now. I do not have 1444 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 1: an NFL team. Sure. I hated the Raiders as a kid. 1445 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 1: I loved them when I worked for them. I'm an 1446 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 1: LA Raiders fan, and of course they don't exist anymore. 1447 01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm a San Diego Chargers fan and they don't exist anymore. 1448 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 1: So that's how that works. 1449 01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 8: The Miami Dolphins win total for this season is set 1450 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,599 Speaker 8: at a eight and a half eight and a half 1451 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,200 Speaker 8: considering once again, we seem to have slumped into yet Hey, 1452 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,320 Speaker 8: more things change, the more they stay the same. The 1453 01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:59,479 Speaker 8: afcast continues to remain dominated by one damn team, and 1454 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,759 Speaker 8: it's always been the question of when will the Dolphins 1455 01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,720 Speaker 8: rise up and do it? And unfortunately, it feels like 1456 01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,960 Speaker 8: the sun is starting to set on this era of 1457 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 8: Dolphins football.

I'm gonna go over for several reasons. 1461 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 3: Like you said, there's no point in going under here 1462 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,680 Speaker 3: because we all know Lewis Riddick, who I love what 1463 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,640 Speaker 3: speak to privately a lot said the other day they 1464 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,000 Speaker 3: were down in Miami's been around Mike McDaniel. There is 1465 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,519 Speaker 3: a sense that they got to This has to be 1466 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 3: a year where they get into the postseason, which he's 1467 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 3: done twice. But they got to win a playoff game 1468 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,040 Speaker 3: or or he could be fired and Greer could be gone. 1469 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: The strongest drought of. 1470 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 3: A playoff a playoff of a playoff win is them, 1471 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 3: So I eight and a half. 1472 01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 1: I like the schedule. The schedule sets up well for them. 1473 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 3: We know what the Buffalo Bills are, we know what 1474 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 3: Josh Allen is, we know what the rest of the 1475 01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:49,640 Speaker 3: AMC is. 1476 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,639 Speaker 1: But it all just comes down to one.

Now we got to play four quarterbacks. 1482 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,679 Speaker 3: Even then we still end up with eight or nine 1483 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,240 Speaker 3: wins like they've done in previous year. So but I 1484 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 3: think it's only the only pick here is over for them. 1485 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,320 Speaker 3: Tyreek has lost weight, Tyreek is in therapy, he's making 1486 01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 3: the rounds, he's talking, he know he made a mistake. 1487 01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,799 Speaker 3: Are running his mouth.

They made up Jalen Phillips back chubbed back 1489 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,439 Speaker 3: chop Robinson on that defensive line with Zeeler who got 1490 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 3: the big time money, and then the big first round 1491 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,920 Speaker 3: pick Adam Michigan Grant at that defensive tackle position. Will 1492 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,720 Speaker 3: hold this defense down, get rid of Ramsey and just 1493 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,080 Speaker 3: and move forward. 1494 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:44,519 Speaker 1: But I'll take the overall day here. All right, Some 1495 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,280 Speaker 1: are down the road we always get into what a 1496 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,000 Speaker 1: lot of people talk about, you know, the coaches hot seat. 1497 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 1: I will say this about Mike mcganna. He is in 1498 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:59,200 Speaker 1: the top three picks most likely to be fired at 1499 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 1: the end of this year. This team will be lucky 1500 01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,800 Speaker 1: to win six games. What's less eight and a half? 1501 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 1: This is a It's a team in total disarray right now. VJ. 1502 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean you talk. I agree with your analysis that hey, 1503 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,240 Speaker 1: they need to win something here, that mcdannel's got to 1504 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,000 Speaker 1: win a playoff game. They're not going to get a 1505 01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,920 Speaker 1: sniff of the playoffs this year. Lucky to win six games. 1506 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:21,600 Speaker 1: Please make sure we write back the Tyreek Kill situation. 1507 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,479 Speaker 1: What you can call it an aberration. I'm not going 1508 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:30,120 Speaker 1: to call it an aberration. His fall is real. He's 1509 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:31,920 Speaker 1: had a Hall of Fame career to be in the 1510 01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,599 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame someday, but his days are over. And 1511 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,519 Speaker 1: without Tyreek Kill playing at that level, this whole offense 1512 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:42,639 Speaker 1: is completely different. 1513 01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:44,920 Speaker 8: Can't hit up on my main concern with them, which 1514 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 8: is going to once again be are we going to 1515 01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:48,880 Speaker 8: have another health crisis on our hands? 1516 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,520 Speaker 1: Right with DJ? Well, how would you not expect something. 1517 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,560 Speaker 3: Like that with the Dolphins? Is one guy we all's 1518 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 3: it's the elevator room. 1519 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:55,760 Speaker 1: Guys. 1520 01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:59,400 Speaker 3: We all know if one guy plays there, ten to 1521 01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:00,280 Speaker 3: eleven win team. 1522 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,720 Speaker 1: It's been proven. If he does not play and you 1523 01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:04,080 Speaker 1: have to. 1524 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,479 Speaker 3: Play four different quarterbacks, of course your time is on 1525 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 3: a receiver game. 1526 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,320 Speaker 1: But you're lucky to win six though, I'm Mark, we 1527 01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,760 Speaker 1: can shove this in so well. In other words, if 1528 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,400 Speaker 1: they win seven, you'll be crawling. Say I was wrong. 1529 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 1: Come on, I have I have under you have over 1530 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:23,639 Speaker 1: what I'm going to call an audible. 1531 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 8: I was gonna do Raiders, but I decided since the 1532 01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 8: Hall of Fame game now a month away, we should 1533 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 8: focus on Steve's other team, which I know he takes 1534 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 8: his kids to the Los Angeles charge. 1535 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:36,040 Speaker 1: Well, my son, my one son is a Chargers Harball. 1536 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,599 Speaker 1: What is the name of your son, Garrett Harton. Garrett 1537 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:39,559 Speaker 1: is the biggest Garrett. 1538 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 8: So let's go to Garrett Hartman's favorite football team, the 1539 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,439 Speaker 8: Los Angeles Chargers. Yes, their win total is set at 1540 01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 8: nine and a half. Steve, I am opening this one 1541 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:53,920 Speaker 8: up to you. Jim Harbaugh second year, gotten, plenty of weapons, gotten, 1542 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:55,559 Speaker 8: plenty of new look stuff. 1543 01:12:55,800 --> 01:13:00,080 Speaker 1: Joe all Is, I am a Jim Harbaugh fan. And 1544 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 1: what he did a year ago was a miracle. I 1545 01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:09,080 Speaker 1: mean seriously, with no running game, no wide receivers, had 1546 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:12,559 Speaker 1: a running game, their defense over a cheat, well they 1547 01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,640 Speaker 1: got a running game out of a guy that was, 1548 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:19,439 Speaker 1: you know, at every conceivable leg injury right and now 1549 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 1: some way they were able to pull that. That's the 1550 01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:25,080 Speaker 1: genius of Jim Harbaugh. That being said, and I'm not 1551 01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:28,040 Speaker 1: saying long term because I believe in Jim Harbaugh he 1552 01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 1: will win no matter where he is. But again, let's 1553 01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 1: when you have a team that far exceeds expectations one year, 1554 01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,800 Speaker 1: they normally take a step back the next year before 1555 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,679 Speaker 1: they move forward. And that's going to be the case 1556 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 1: with the Chargers. Nine and a half. You say they 1557 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,559 Speaker 1: could win nine, they could go nine and eight eight 1558 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:50,760 Speaker 1: nine vision that division. You know the Broncos. Broncos are 1559 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 1: a very similar situation where they came out, had a 1560 01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:55,760 Speaker 1: big year, do you take a step back. I think 1561 01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:57,759 Speaker 1: the Raiders are going to be better than people expect 1562 01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,639 Speaker 1: when you upgrade it everything. 1563 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 8: So no love, no love with the additions of Lad 1564 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,800 Speaker 8: McConkie and Marion and that's not enough. 1565 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:09,560 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say under under the Chargers. 1566 01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 3: Not only will I go over the Chargers are gonna 1567 01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:13,960 Speaker 3: win twelve games this year? 1568 01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:15,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna win twelve. 1569 01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's here told me last year when I said 1570 01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:19,280 Speaker 3: they were gonna win double digit game to go. 1571 01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,479 Speaker 1: To the play? What's more likely? Let's have an arbitrator hearing, Chris, 1572 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,360 Speaker 1: what's more likely the Dolphins win six games, of the 1573 01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:30,760 Speaker 1: Chargers to win twelve, the Chargers to win twelve? Thank you? Oh, 1574 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,400 Speaker 1: thank you? No? No, no, no, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, 1575 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 1: I misunderstood the question. I said, what is more likely 1576 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,960 Speaker 1: to happen the Dolphins winning six games of the Chargers 1577 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:39,639 Speaker 1: winning twelve? 1578 01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 8: I think both are fairly likely. I would go with 1579 01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 8: the dolphins. Wait, so am I? 1580 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,800 Speaker 1: I am? What is I am? Just giving you a number? 1581 01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:51,280 Speaker 1: And what is more likely to happen? The Dolphins winning 1582 01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:55,000 Speaker 1: six games or the Chargers winning twelve games? But six? 1583 01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:58,639 Speaker 1: That's more correctly on that number? 1584 01:14:58,800 --> 01:14:59,000 Speaker 2: Yes? 1585 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,960 Speaker 1: Six, wow, Chase, sue. Twelve are the Chargers winning twelve? 1586 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:03,720 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1587 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:05,760 Speaker 8: I think I would say chargers winning twelve. I don't 1588 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:06,479 Speaker 8: feel good about this. 1589 01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,400 Speaker 1: But let me also go here with harball this idea. 1590 01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna take a step back. Guess who, Guess who? 1591 01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:14,160 Speaker 1: Teams that doesn't happen to doesn't happen to Jim Harball team. 1592 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:15,880 Speaker 1: You have them in San Francisco. 1593 01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 3: When they got no when he first when he first 1594 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:17,840 Speaker 3: got there. 1595 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 1: His second year, they got to the super Bowl. 1596 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:20,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, second when they got to the super Bowl, and 1597 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 8: then they spent their their time and the minutes with 1598 01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:23,960 Speaker 8: the next. 1599 01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 1: Two years they got into the conference champions name, and 1600 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:27,599 Speaker 1: then they fell off the four exactly. 1601 01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,040 Speaker 3: So it didn't happen after the one year of the 1602 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 3: upcoming when you're trying to actually still work with the 1603 01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 3: last coaching staff at last Rousine some of their guys, 1604 01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:35,880 Speaker 3: you gotta clean some of that out. You gotta get 1605 01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 3: your system in, which he did within one season turn 1606 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:40,439 Speaker 3: your franchise completely around. 1607 01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 1: They keep rolling. We keep talking about all these other quarterbacks. 1608 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,240 Speaker 3: They still have a genuine by the name of Justin 1609 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 3: Herbert that's out here in Los Angeles. 1610 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 1: Okay, is going I'm. 1611 01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:54,840 Speaker 3: Not talking about loss a game.

All Right, we've been talking a lot of NFL. 1649 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,719 Speaker 1: We had the perfet picks. Aaron Rodgers is now saying 1650 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:45,680 Speaker 1: that this is probably probably his final season in the 1651 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,400 Speaker 1: National Football League. Now, he did bring up one point, 1652 01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,800 Speaker 1: Whether whether you're a fan of Aaron Rodgers or not, 1653 01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:55,200 Speaker 1: he did bring up one very sound point that if 1654 01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,599 Speaker 1: indeed this is his final year, he is going to 1655 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:02,360 Speaker 1: be in the uniform of one of the more successful 1656 01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 1: stable organizations in the NFL. Unlike the Jets, which are 1657 01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 1: been a mess forever, the Steelers are the polar opposite 1658 01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:15,000 Speaker 1: of the Jets. Now does that translate into wins? I 1659 01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,479 Speaker 1: still maintain if they won ten games a year ago 1660 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,000 Speaker 1: and ten games the year before that, why would they 1661 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,640 Speaker 1: win fewer games. With Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. He is 1662 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 1: an upgrade of anything they've had over the last four 1663 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,880 Speaker 1: years at the quarterback position. I think it'll be a 1664 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,000 Speaker 1: solid year. I don't think the Steelers are a super 1665 01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,600 Speaker 1: Bowl contender. They own the Ravens, they always have. I 1666 01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,040 Speaker 1: don't know why Mike Tomlins got John Harbaugh's number, but 1667 01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,280 Speaker 1: he does. And I think they'll be right about that. 1668 01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,600 Speaker 1: They'll be a ten win team. He'll go out with 1669 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 1: a playoff loss and put a bow on it, and 1670 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,120 Speaker 1: I think that's okay. And I don't think it's going 1671 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:47,640 Speaker 1: to be like Lebron. You and I are on the 1672 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,439 Speaker 1: same page. With Lebron, He's going to play and play 1673 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,519 Speaker 1: and play and play. That is not going to be 1674 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,640 Speaker 1: the case for Aaron Rodgers. Why would you want to 1675 01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:58,400 Speaker 1: leave after a great career that Rodgers has had, with 1676 01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:02,160 Speaker 1: the kind of season season that he had with the Jets. 1677 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 1: You go to a stable franchise. They're gonna win nine 1678 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,639 Speaker 1: or ten games. They're not gonna have a losing season. Oh, 1679 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 1: I'll be fine, It'll be all over. This will be 1680 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,920 Speaker 1: their first losing season. It is not gonna happen. It 1681 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 1: will It will because he's gonna tear that thing down. Man. 1682 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,960 Speaker 3: You get you guys are unestimating energy. Man, and he 1683 01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:18,719 Speaker 3: just tear. 1684 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: Down coach that's been there for twenty years. 1685 01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 3: He's gonna know, He's not gonna tear the coach down, 1686 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 3: but just him, his energy, his aura, his juice, the 1687 01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,799 Speaker 3: stuff that slides off with people and touches other people. 1688 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,759 Speaker 3: Sometimes it can uplift you, and sometimes it just weighs 1689 01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,200 Speaker 3: people down. It takes the air out of a room, 1690 01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,720 Speaker 3: and that translates onto the field or the core. It's 1691 01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,320 Speaker 3: happened so many times in the history of sports, and 1692 01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,599 Speaker 3: we keep ignoring it because we attached to the name. 1693 01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 3: And I took a vow on myself at the beginning 1694 01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,639 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five I will no longer attach my thought, 1695 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,719 Speaker 3: in my opinion, to just the name. I am gonna 1696 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 3: look at the totality of the situation we are talking about. 1697 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,599 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers still has a name, and people are like, well, 1698 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:01,000 Speaker 3: it's Aaron Rodgers and it's the Steelers, So what who 1699 01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:01,840 Speaker 3: is he throwing to? 1700 01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,360 Speaker 1: What do they have? What has he done in the 1701 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,120 Speaker 1: last three or four years? Guys? 1702 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 3: That makes you think that this thing is not gonna 1703 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,040 Speaker 3: burn not to mention they play in a hard division 1704 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 3: and they're in the AFC. 1705 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:12,920 Speaker 1: That's hard. 1706 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,720 Speaker 3: I think this will be Tomlin's first I don't care 1707 01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:17,599 Speaker 3: if it's eight and nine. Eight and nine is still 1708 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:18,559 Speaker 3: a losing season. 1709 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:24,280 Speaker 1: James Harrison Steeler legend. I just saw him. He is 1710 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 1: predicting that the Steelers will cut Aaron Rodgers. Oh that 1711 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,160 Speaker 1: I didn't see. Yeah, yeah, I could see it happening. 1712 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 1: Yeah he is. He is not a believer in the 1713 01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:42,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers situation. He actually believes that the Steelers gonna 1714 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:47,040 Speaker 1: cut Aaron Rodgers. I like it. How about those New 1715 01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:50,280 Speaker 1: York Knicks looking for a coach? We got the crazy update. 1716 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:53,679 Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Sunday having all kinds of fun 1717 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,240 Speaker 1: here on a beautiful Sunday.

Of course we are. I 1723 01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 1: mean the Hall of Fame games a month the way, 1724 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,040 Speaker 1: we're ready for the ready, and we got all kinds 1725 01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,000 Speaker 1: of spins and everything else. But and the NBA season's over. 1726 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,639 Speaker 1: Baseball we're coming up toward the All Star break, we'll 1727 01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 1: have the trade deadline. We'll have a lot of baseball 1728 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,559 Speaker 1: to talk about in the weeks ahead. NHL season is over, 1729 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: you know, we get a little We got Wimbledon next 1730 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and then the Open Championship is coming up, 1731 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,840 Speaker 1: the final major for the So there's always plenty of 1732 01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,519 Speaker 1: things going on. But the good news is right now 1733 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 1: is that sometimes you're sort of you got one thing 1734 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 1: that you got to talk about because it's just that, 1735 01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,759 Speaker 1: you know, And we get a little bit of an open, 1736 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 1: open window right now, so now you can sort of 1737 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:55,720 Speaker 1: explore some of the crazier stories out there. And this 1738 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 1: one is a doozy. Now we have the perfect picks. 1739 01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:03,120 Speaker 1: And one of the picks we had was how soon 1740 01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,240 Speaker 1: would the Knicks have a new coach? Now that's one 1741 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 1: I did beat you on because I said it was over, 1742 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 1: because I just recognized that the Knicks had a knee 1743 01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:16,360 Speaker 1: jerk reaction after losing to Indiana and they fired Tips. 1744 01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 1: I can't do it. Firing a coach is the easy part. 1745 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,920 Speaker 1: But they're thinking, they're like, Okay, you do, you have 1746 01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,680 Speaker 1: somebody to replace them. And then when they started targeting 1747 01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:32,760 Speaker 1: coaches under contract with other teams that are successful and 1748 01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,120 Speaker 1: thinking that those teams are going to say, sure, you 1749 01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,200 Speaker 1: could talk to our coach. What were they thinking? Yeah, 1750 01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,880 Speaker 1: And they got the doors slammed in their face over 1751 01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:43,799 Speaker 1: and over and over again, which is why the Knicks 1752 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,040 Speaker 1: are where they are. This is why this organization has 1753 01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,639 Speaker 1: been void of an NBA championship for more than fifty years, 1754 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,200 Speaker 1: because they don't know what the f they're doing. And 1755 01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:55,439 Speaker 1: so now we're hearing the name of Don Staley. Don 1756 01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:59,640 Speaker 1: Staley is one of the top college basketball coaches in 1757 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,599 Speaker 1: the kind and I don't even need to put gender 1758 01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:08,400 Speaker 1: into this conversation. When you look at elite college basketball coaches, 1759 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 1: Don Staley is in the conversation. You win multiple national 1760 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,400 Speaker 1: championships and you have the kind of winning percentage that 1761 01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,720 Speaker 1: she's had at South Carolina, you've earned the distinction of 1762 01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 1: being in that conversation. Plus the fact she was a 1763 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:26,519 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame player. That being said, when people talk 1764 01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 1: about this Don Staley being the coach of the Knicks, 1765 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:33,360 Speaker 1: my problem has zero to do with her gender and 1766 01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,120 Speaker 1: everything to do with her pedigree because she has no 1767 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 1: association with the NBA. And will he saw it, whether 1768 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:44,360 Speaker 1: it was Rick Bettino, John Caliperi, Jerry Tarkanian, the list 1769 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 1: goes on and on. What do you think Mike Krzyzewski 1770 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:50,320 Speaker 1: was offered NBA jobs almost every year for fifteen to 1771 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:54,880 Speaker 1: twenty years, always said no because he knew it is 1772 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:59,200 Speaker 1: a different sport. Yeah, they still use a basketball, but 1773 01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,840 Speaker 1: coaching at the NBA level is a completely different game, 1774 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 1: especially when you're totally indoctrinated to the college game where 1775 01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,479 Speaker 1: you have that kind of control. Let's face it, in 1776 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,559 Speaker 1: college basketball, the coaches are the stars. They've always been 1777 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:17,240 Speaker 1: the stars. That's who when we look at the NCAA, Oh, 1778 01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:22,280 Speaker 1: it's all exactly. You looked at this NBA draft, You're 1779 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:26,240 Speaker 1: like part of these players, right, the coaches are the stars. 1780 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 1: That is not the case in the NBA. The coaches 1781 01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:31,240 Speaker 1: are not the stars. In the NBA, the players are 1782 01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,920 Speaker 1: the stars. And so right unless but like you said, 1783 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:37,280 Speaker 1: when I look at the success that a pat Riley 1784 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,680 Speaker 1: or Phil Jackson had with superstar players, that's because their 1785 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,000 Speaker 1: egos were even greater than the players. You have to 1786 01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:44,800 Speaker 1: have that if you're going to be you know, with 1787 01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:46,200 Speaker 1: the Shacks and the Kobe. 1788 01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 8: The second highest superstars there after the players, the general managers, 1789 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:55,720 Speaker 8: they're the taking all the power now. 1790 01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, the coaches are expendable. That's not why the 1791 01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:02,599 Speaker 1: coaches get fired about this. The Knicks right now could 1792 01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,680 Speaker 1: go out. What are there are five? Am? I right? 1793 01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:09,639 Speaker 8: There are five the available an NBA draftman out a coach? 1794 01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 1: Again, there are like five coaches out there that have 1795 01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 1: an NBA championship on the resume that are available. Right, 1796 01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:23,000 Speaker 1: you got Mike Brown, you got Vogel, Yeah, Budenholzer, Eric Spolstra, 1797 01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:26,120 Speaker 1: Spolster malone malone. There you go. 1798 01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:32,320 Speaker 8: Spolser is not available. But like that's not Lifer. That's 1799 01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:33,120 Speaker 8: but he's. 1800 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 1: Not he's not available, right, Yeah, Yeah, these are guys 1801 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:38,879 Speaker 1: that are out there. They're actually available. 1802 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,360 Speaker 3: Okay, I know these guys are. He's right, that's what 1803 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:42,600 Speaker 3: we're going with the availability. 1804 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 1: Nurse available? Who nurse Mike? Yeah? I mean right, I 1805 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 1: mean he has an NBA champions championship. But would you 1806 01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,240 Speaker 1: give him a call? But no one, no one is 1807 01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 1: clamoring for these guys. So, but that would be my concern. 1808 01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 1: Will will a woman so day be a coach in 1809 01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:04,800 Speaker 1: the NBA. Probably, yes, absolutely, it's a very progressive league. 1810 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,639 Speaker 1: And I get Hammon probably first. Well, Becky Hammond makes 1811 01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,160 Speaker 1: sense because she was on the bench for many years, 1812 01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:13,000 Speaker 1: obviously coaching the Spurs. Then she became a head coach 1813 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 1: in the WNBA with great success, right, and she had 1814 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 1: earned that respect. I'm not saying that Don Staley couldn't 1815 01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 1: come in and get the job done, but based on 1816 01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:27,479 Speaker 1: the track record of those college coaches that have no 1817 01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:31,599 Speaker 1: professional experience as an assistant or any other level, it's 1818 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:34,120 Speaker 1: it's just not good. It's a different sport. 1819 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:38,559 Speaker 3: I'll say this as far as excuse me experience goes. 1820 01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:43,000 Speaker 3: We all have started somewhere in our life with no experience. 1821 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,600 Speaker 3: The very first time I ever sat in front of 1822 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 3: a microphone and it's sports talk radio. 1823 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,920 Speaker 1: I had no experience. You have to in order to 1824 01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:51,519 Speaker 1: get experience. 1825 01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,599 Speaker 3: It's almost like the old additive is you won't hire 1826 01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,800 Speaker 3: me because I don't have enough experience. Well, how do 1827 01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:01,200 Speaker 3: I get experience if no one is going to hire me? Now, 1828 01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:02,960 Speaker 3: I'm not saying the Knicks should do this. 1829 01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, but wait a second, stop Paus for a second here. 1830 01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:06,519 Speaker 1: I hate I don't want to interrupt you. But I 1831 01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:08,960 Speaker 1: have to say this. It would be one thing if 1832 01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,240 Speaker 1: she's getting a u an opportunity with a bottom feeder 1833 01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,280 Speaker 1: in the NBA. You're talking about a team that was 1834 01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:17,760 Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference. That doesn't matter. That's because the 1835 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 1: Knicks are expecting their next coach. If Tips couldn't get 1836 01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:23,360 Speaker 1: him to the championship, that's what they're looking for. They're 1837 01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:24,720 Speaker 1: not doing a restart. 1838 01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:28,400 Speaker 3: That one thing, Steve, that's the logical thing to say. 1839 01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,880 Speaker 3: But we're dealing with Dolan in the Knicks. So logic, 1840 01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 3: so logic, right, logic, logic and right goes. 1841 01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:35,559 Speaker 1: Out the winding. 1842 01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:37,479 Speaker 3: When you're talking about Dolan in the Knicks, when have 1843 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:38,640 Speaker 3: they ever done anything. 1844 01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:39,840 Speaker 1: Logically or right? That's why. 1845 01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,200 Speaker 3: So that's why it goes out the window. My point, 1846 01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,280 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that she will even be successful. I'm 1847 01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:50,680 Speaker 3: just the Knicks are Maybe this is just, Hey, we're 1848 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,200 Speaker 3: such a bleat show right now. Hey, let's let's try 1849 01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,920 Speaker 3: to do something that kind of is groundbreaking. Let's let's 1850 01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 3: let's let's let's throw something out there, because the first 1851 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:04,280 Speaker 3: woman NBA coach would be groundbreaking. Now, like I said, 1852 01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:08,840 Speaker 3: I believe Becky Hammond probably deserves the first shot because 1853 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,559 Speaker 3: of the time she's put in and what she's done. 1854 01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,960 Speaker 3: She helped coach Team USA, she's helped coach to Spurs 1855 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,559 Speaker 3: have been on a Popovich. Who something is if it's 1856 01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,639 Speaker 3: not our back or Phil Jackson, the greatest NBA coach 1857 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,040 Speaker 3: that's ever walked God's Green Earth. Just depending upon who 1858 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:24,840 Speaker 3: you're talking to and what day do we keep talking 1859 01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:25,240 Speaker 3: to him on. 1860 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,400 Speaker 1: So I just think that the Knicks right now. 1861 01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,559 Speaker 3: You mentioned during the commercial break, if you're mentioning Don 1862 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 3: Staley at ground zero. Maybe it's ground zero, Maybe it's 1863 01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:35,960 Speaker 3: ground let's do something groundbreaking. 1864 01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,799 Speaker 1: Maybe it's Hey, we've screwed this thing up so much. 1865 01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:41,000 Speaker 3: Let's now try to grab some attention and grab some 1866 01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,080 Speaker 3: sympathy and some cheers and some pats on the back 1867 01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:46,080 Speaker 3: and some pomp pom pushing by throwing out there that 1868 01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 3: we're thinking. 1869 01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:50,040 Speaker 1: About, Wow, who do you think Don Staley? Now? 1870 01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:53,160 Speaker 3: The whole bottom feeder whaler thing, I don't buy that 1871 01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:55,920 Speaker 3: matter what team, and the Knicks aren't upper echelon just 1872 01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:58,599 Speaker 3: because they got to the Eastern Conference finals. We've all 1873 01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:00,640 Speaker 3: sat here and not myself, I'm where people say here 1874 01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:02,439 Speaker 3: and say, well, the East is so weak and East 1875 01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 3: have sold this. So don't tell me about the team 1876 01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:05,880 Speaker 3: these was so weak. Don't tell me about the team 1877 01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 3: that was. 1878 01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,880 Speaker 1: They were five fifty plus games the last two years. 1879 01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:12,160 Speaker 1: It means nothing, means nothing. It does in terms of 1880 01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:16,880 Speaker 1: what the expectations are for that team. Listen, man, what expectations? 1881 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:19,280 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? They just got to the 1882 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:23,120 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals. Tims had gotten into the level. Their 1883 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,360 Speaker 1: feeling was, all right, this guy has gotten us as 1884 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,960 Speaker 1: far as he can take us. We now need that 1885 01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:30,240 Speaker 1: coach that can get us over the armp get us 1886 01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:32,760 Speaker 1: back to the NBA finals and win a championship. That 1887 01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,400 Speaker 1: is their mindset of why they got rid of tips 1888 01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,599 Speaker 1: that they felt like, that's as far as he can 1889 01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 1: take us. You're not gonna have some someone that. Remember 1890 01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:45,080 Speaker 1: when they hired Derek Fisher. You remember that debacle. I mean, 1891 01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:48,360 Speaker 1: of course, remember they were two years removed from a 1892 01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,519 Speaker 1: fifty four win season with Mike Woodson and his They 1893 01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:53,880 Speaker 1: bring Fisher, they won seventeen games. 1894 01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:57,160 Speaker 3: And Fishing guess what, and guess what. Fisher has NBA connections. 1895 01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:01,040 Speaker 3: Fisher has NBA away from being at He's like being 1896 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,280 Speaker 3: a coach. He wasn't ready for the job, right, Okay, 1897 01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,479 Speaker 3: But if you're if you're saying that you don't have 1898 01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:07,519 Speaker 3: any connections and you don't have any this or that 1899 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,639 Speaker 3: to the NBA, and when they've done it with guys 1900 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:11,920 Speaker 3: that came in and couldn't do the job either, Okay, 1901 01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:13,840 Speaker 3: So then where you turn it? And then once again, 1902 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:17,680 Speaker 3: I plead you to understand that this is the nikkabakers 1903 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:20,760 Speaker 3: we're talking about. They don't This is not logic and right. 1904 01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,280 Speaker 3: They're not gonna do it logically and do it right. 1905 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,800 Speaker 3: And expectations what expectations do? 1906 01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 1: How do even Okay, the New York media. So let's 1907 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:32,439 Speaker 1: say they hired Don Staley to be their next head coach. Okay, 1908 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:34,720 Speaker 1: I mean, she's gonna face the fire from day one. 1909 01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure she can handle the initial way she can 1910 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 1: handle it. Are they gonna be conscious of the fact 1911 01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:44,160 Speaker 1: that it's a female first time? Are they gonna give 1912 01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:45,000 Speaker 1: her some slack? 1913 01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:45,200 Speaker 6: Id? 1914 01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:47,920 Speaker 1: It is in today's world. 1915 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,920 Speaker 3: We all know in this business, and I've even had 1916 01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 3: to learn it myself. 1917 01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:53,320 Speaker 1: In this business. 1918 01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:56,840 Speaker 3: In today's world, you sometimes you got to tread lightly. 1919 01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,800 Speaker 3: And that's just the facts. That's the facts, and that's 1920 01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:02,479 Speaker 3: the truth that some people even scared to just stay 1921 01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:05,400 Speaker 3: that part of what I just said. In this business, 1922 01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:07,599 Speaker 3: whether you're behind a microphone or you're in a press 1923 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 3: conference room, are you You and I very good friends. 1924 01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,400 Speaker 3: Are our good favorite Sean Haylock? Yes, And we agreed 1925 01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:14,840 Speaker 3: about the way JJ reddick tawt. And I was standing there. 1926 01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:17,960 Speaker 3: I was in there when that happened. Right, that's a man, 1927 01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:22,040 Speaker 3: that's a guy. So but he asked the question, very 1928 01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 3: fair question. It was a very fair but no one 1929 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,679 Speaker 3: in there had, you know, what to ask him because 1930 01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:29,840 Speaker 3: we're all trying to figure out why don't you make 1931 01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:31,320 Speaker 3: any substitutions in the fourth quarter? 1932 01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 1: The other day single the entire second half of them 1933 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:36,040 Speaker 1: do so. 1934 01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:38,519 Speaker 3: But I think, I tell you this, she'd have handled 1935 01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:40,080 Speaker 3: that question a lot better than he did. 1936 01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:42,920 Speaker 1: I guarantee you that she wouldn't have walked out. I mean, 1937 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,439 Speaker 1: he's a tough cookie, I know that, but she can 1938 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:48,040 Speaker 1: handle it. 1939 01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:50,920 Speaker 3: But no one could just sit there and oh, because 1940 01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,240 Speaker 3: she's a female or a woman or this, we can 1941 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 3: just go That's not the world we live in. No 1942 01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,320 Speaker 3: more So I think I don't I don't want to 1943 01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:00,559 Speaker 3: use the word safe, but heck, I think she's probably 1944 01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:03,040 Speaker 3: safe for sitting up at a podium more than any 1945 01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:04,840 Speaker 3: other coach sitting up there, because you are going to 1946 01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:07,680 Speaker 3: watch what you say and how you say because of 1947 01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 3: the temperature of the world we live in. And just 1948 01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:12,479 Speaker 3: out of respect too, just out of respect that you're 1949 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:14,400 Speaker 3: talking to a lady, you're talking to a woman. As 1950 01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,000 Speaker 3: a man, there's certain ways you should say things and 1951 01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,560 Speaker 3: there's certain ways you shouldn't say things, regardless. 1952 01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:22,360 Speaker 1: Of this is your job. But you know there are 1953 01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:23,280 Speaker 1: guys that don't believe that. 1954 01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:26,560 Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine, But I'm not those guys. I'm me, 1955 01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 3: So I would sit in there and still ask tough questions. 1956 01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:32,000 Speaker 3: But if you're asking me, hey, do you think some people, Yes, 1957 01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,120 Speaker 3: there's gonna be some people that try. 1958 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,160 Speaker 1: To go in there to make a point because she 1959 01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:38,559 Speaker 1: is a woman.

She's making it. She's 1969 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 1: making great money at South Carolina. She's got a role 1970 01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:07,960 Speaker 1: on Ya could be the coach. She can go. 1971 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,360 Speaker 3: She could be the first real woman and be a 1972 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:14,679 Speaker 3: coach of all time. And it doesn't matter. If it 1973 01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:15,880 Speaker 3: does matter, does it take it. 1974 01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:17,479 Speaker 1: Away that you were the first woman? Though? That doesn't 1975 01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,040 Speaker 1: erase that because you failed, But you don't have an 1976 01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,400 Speaker 1: effect on other women giving jobs. If she fails, So. 1977 01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:26,559 Speaker 3: This any woman then, not just her. So Becky Hammond 1978 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:27,599 Speaker 3: comes into Becky Hammond. 1979 01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:29,439 Speaker 1: At thirty games. Honestly, if I were Don Staley, I 1980 01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,200 Speaker 1: would not want to be especially with an organization like 1981 01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,559 Speaker 1: the Knicks. Well you can make I'm gonna tie my future, 1982 01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:37,040 Speaker 1: my legacy to the next. 1983 01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:39,960 Speaker 3: If you can make history. In my opinion, you'd say. 1984 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,080 Speaker 3: You just say, Ye's already made history. 1985 01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:44,960 Speaker 1: She's won multiple national championships itself, and. 1986 01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:48,720 Speaker 3: There's never been a woman coach in the National Basketball Association. 1987 01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,320 Speaker 3: If I got the opportunity to be that and be 1988 01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:56,160 Speaker 3: etched in history forever as the first, I just think 1989 01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 3: you said, I just think even if it's Becky Hammond, 1990 01:33:58,520 --> 01:33:59,040 Speaker 3: I just think. 1991 01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,160 Speaker 1: You say, yeah, well, Becky ham And again she's paid 1992 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:03,559 Speaker 1: her dues in the NBA. If I were Don Stanley, 1993 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:05,880 Speaker 1: stay put, Don you you've got a great situation in 1994 01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 1: South shortlineing you want to tie yourself to the New 1995 01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,439 Speaker 1: York Knicks. All right. On the other side, we're going 1996 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:12,840 Speaker 1: to catch up with a man that can cud of 1997 01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,880 Speaker 1: her any subject and better than just about everyone else, 1998 01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,680 Speaker 1: the Great JP Morose. He will join us. This is 1999 01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:23,439 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday, Harvin and Husky, Fox Sports Sunday. Once 2000 01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,559 Speaker 1: again we're here in the Fox Sports Radio studios. What's 2001 01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:29,920 Speaker 1: always the treat to bring on the man with a 2002 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:34,000 Speaker 1: wealth of knowledge gracious enough to share it with us 2003 01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:38,040 Speaker 1: every single Sunday? Here, the Great John Paul Morosi, JP, 2004 01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious, glorious final Sunday in 2005 01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:44,479 Speaker 1: the month of June. 2006 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,800 Speaker 2: Summer is already flying, it feels like, certainly from a 2007 01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:51,040 Speaker 2: standpoint when the school starts up again. But most importantly, 2008 01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:53,880 Speaker 2: we've got the All Star Game coming up just a 2009 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:58,479 Speaker 2: couple of weeks away. And I certainly saw the stunning 2010 01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,559 Speaker 2: news that both Tony and Aaron judge are going to 2011 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,680 Speaker 2: be in the game with the sun by that. But well, 2012 01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:10,080 Speaker 2: we are processing that shocking news. No, certainly, of course, 2013 01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:12,640 Speaker 2: in Jeff. But it's a good reminder of just how 2014 01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,360 Speaker 2: much talent we've gotten in baseball now. And I cannot 2015 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:18,559 Speaker 2: wait to see show a Judge and all the rest 2016 01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:20,360 Speaker 2: on the big stage here in Atlanta in a couple 2017 01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:20,639 Speaker 2: of weeks. 2018 01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 1: All right, I met you mentioned the All Star Game, which, 2019 01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: by the way, sometimes I look at it as the 2020 01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:29,479 Speaker 1: some star game. You know. I've always been of the 2021 01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:33,320 Speaker 1: believer that to qualify for the All Star Game, you 2022 01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:36,960 Speaker 1: actually have to be a star. And you remember the 2023 01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:39,519 Speaker 1: old days, at least I do. Growing up, it was 2024 01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:42,320 Speaker 1: an automatic that Willie Mays and Hank Aaron and Mickey 2025 01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:46,440 Speaker 1: Mantle and Carlia strimskame guys of that ILK were automatic. 2026 01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:48,639 Speaker 1: They could be hitting two hundred. It did not matter 2027 01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:53,200 Speaker 1: because they're stars. It's an exhibition game. And then all 2028 01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:55,439 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you start I remember this all change. 2029 01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:58,479 Speaker 1: I think I was at the two thousand and four 2030 01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:02,080 Speaker 1: All Star Game in Houston, and I remember being on 2031 01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:04,400 Speaker 1: the field the day before with a home run derby, 2032 01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:07,400 Speaker 1: and I'm walking around the field and I'm literally seeing 2033 01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:11,639 Speaker 1: players I do not recognize who they are, their names 2034 01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,000 Speaker 1: I had to look them up and I was like, 2035 01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:17,519 Speaker 1: how are these All Stars? Half a season? Does that 2036 01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:20,479 Speaker 1: make you an All Star? I don't know how you 2037 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:23,080 Speaker 1: would choose the All Star team, but to me, it 2038 01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:25,519 Speaker 1: would be less about what you've done over a two 2039 01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,599 Speaker 1: month period as opposed to what you've done on the 2040 01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:32,280 Speaker 1: whole to determine whether or not you're an actual All Star. 2041 01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,400 Speaker 2: Well, it's a blend, and I understand where you're coming 2042 01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:37,679 Speaker 2: from on that. Steve. A couple of thoughts. Number One, 2043 01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:41,519 Speaker 2: it is really good that the All Star Game no 2044 01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:45,040 Speaker 2: longer determines help fuit advantage in the World Series because 2045 01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:51,000 Speaker 2: that really created this complicated understanding of what the All 2046 01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:54,759 Speaker 2: Star Game is. Is it a showcase of the game's 2047 01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,879 Speaker 2: greatest stars or is it a game that you must 2048 01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:01,000 Speaker 2: manage to win? Because it could help determine if a 2049 01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,679 Speaker 2: team wins the World Series and has a Game seven 2050 01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:05,559 Speaker 2: at home or not. So I'm glad that that is 2051 01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:11,479 Speaker 2: now ancient history. I believe we can do two things here. 2052 01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:17,040 Speaker 2: I believe we can honor and respect and celebrate the 2053 01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:21,600 Speaker 2: best first halfs that we are seeing. Cal Rowley is 2054 01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:23,720 Speaker 2: going to be in the All Star Game, and that 2055 01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:25,799 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that we have to all of a sudden 2056 01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:28,320 Speaker 2: clear out someone like Otani and Judge that they can 2057 01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:32,439 Speaker 2: all be part of it. And with injury replacements now, 2058 01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 2: and with when you can substitute for a picture who 2059 01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:38,320 Speaker 2: pitches on Sundays, who is not going to pitch on Tuesday, 2060 01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:40,080 Speaker 2: you can then replace him. You can still go and 2061 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:42,559 Speaker 2: enjoy the festivities, but he's not going to be active 2062 01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:46,800 Speaker 2: for the game. And these are all really good changes. Listen, 2063 01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:49,040 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the players union and 2064 01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:52,759 Speaker 2: the players themselves, they like getting the recognition. It means 2065 01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:56,000 Speaker 2: all Star Game bonuses, it means more marketing opportunities, it 2066 01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:57,800 Speaker 2: means the status that comes for the rest of your 2067 01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:00,680 Speaker 2: life of being a Major League All Star. These are 2068 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:04,800 Speaker 2: really good things for a player's career. So I have 2069 01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:08,080 Speaker 2: no issue with more players enjoying it. And I also 2070 01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:12,599 Speaker 2: think that something we've seen happen later on in players' careers, 2071 01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:18,360 Speaker 2: whether it was Jeter, whether it was Miguel Cabrera. Players pools, 2072 01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:21,640 Speaker 2: for example, you almost get the and this is the 2073 01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:25,200 Speaker 2: case with pools, no matter what the numbers were, it 2074 01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:27,280 Speaker 2: was your last year you're going to the All Star 2075 01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,320 Speaker 2: Game because you're Albert Pooles. That's a really good thing. 2076 01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:33,560 Speaker 2: And the fact that it no longer determines home to 2077 01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:38,320 Speaker 2: advantage allows the managers to make sure that Pooles gets 2078 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:41,639 Speaker 2: his a bat, that Cabrera gets his at bats, and 2079 01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:44,360 Speaker 2: that we have a chance to really celebrate. Honestly, to 2080 01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,360 Speaker 2: the conversation about Kershaw, I want to see him in 2081 01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 2: the All Star Game this year. I want to see 2082 01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:51,040 Speaker 2: Kershaw that we don't know how many years he's got 2083 01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,360 Speaker 2: left in his career. Let's let him pitch and bring 2084 01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:56,840 Speaker 2: him there as one of the game's greats because he 2085 01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:58,760 Speaker 2: deserves that status for all time. 2086 01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:03,160 Speaker 3: Man. JP Morosi, Man, I missed you last week, Buddy. 2087 01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,000 Speaker 3: I'm glad to be back. How are you and how's 2088 01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:05,719 Speaker 3: Mama Morosi? 2089 01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:07,200 Speaker 1: Buddy, We're all doing great. 2090 01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:10,120 Speaker 2: VJ, thank you so much. Right the back statesime, we 2091 01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:12,600 Speaker 2: were there in Italy for a week. Loved it. I 2092 01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:16,160 Speaker 2: had a chance to experience all that is Italian culture, 2093 01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:20,280 Speaker 2: very much. Enjoyed it. Read the La Gazetta de la Sports, 2094 01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:23,960 Speaker 2: where they're very serious. What are my favorite? When I 2095 01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:27,439 Speaker 2: was reading in an Italian when they're covering a major 2096 01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:30,280 Speaker 2: soccer event, whether it be a club or national team event. 2097 01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,160 Speaker 2: They put a numerical rating on every person who touches 2098 01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:36,479 Speaker 2: the field on a scale of one to ten, and 2099 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:39,760 Speaker 2: they tell you that. So we talk about how much 2100 01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:42,560 Speaker 2: criticism there is for the modern athlete in America. I 2101 01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:44,599 Speaker 2: don't know. Do we put a number on everybody who 2102 01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:47,439 Speaker 2: touches the football fit on a Sunday? They do over there, man, 2103 01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:50,519 Speaker 2: and it's pretty it is pretty intense scrutiny. 2104 01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:53,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's stick with this All Star thing because the 2105 01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:57,760 Speaker 3: two this season tell me if I'm just off here JP, 2106 01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:01,320 Speaker 3: if anybody is fit to do so, it's you. I 2107 01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,800 Speaker 3: feel this MLB season there's some lacklusterness going on and 2108 01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:08,559 Speaker 3: I'm not sure why, but only fifteen teams are over 2109 01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:11,879 Speaker 3: five hundred. It's a lot of bad baseball, are average 2110 01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,640 Speaker 3: below average baseball being played, and it just feels like 2111 01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:19,960 Speaker 3: the show. Hey, Judge year right, are we just waiting 2112 01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:23,960 Speaker 3: for another rematch of the Yankees and the Dodgers in 2113 01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 3: the World Series or is there somebody who's legitimately I 2114 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:31,320 Speaker 3: know the Tigers are having a great year, the Padres 2115 01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:35,360 Speaker 3: are playing well, but are we kind of just mosying 2116 01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:36,080 Speaker 3: through this year? 2117 01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:37,560 Speaker 1: Because it just feels. 2118 01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:40,200 Speaker 3: Like Warriors Calves again, Right, we're gonna get the same 2119 01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:41,040 Speaker 3: two teams? 2120 01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,120 Speaker 1: There are am I missing something or this. 2121 01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,759 Speaker 3: Just just kind of feel like where's the pop, where's 2122 01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:46,400 Speaker 3: the sizzle? 2123 01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:49,200 Speaker 1: Other than Show Hay and Aaron Judge. 2124 01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,240 Speaker 2: Well, it's a very good question, and I think that 2125 01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:54,840 Speaker 2: when you look at the odds, I would still say this. 2126 01:40:55,600 --> 01:41:00,280 Speaker 2: The odds are against the Yankees Dodgers rematch. They just 2127 01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:03,360 Speaker 2: are because of how much randomness is built into the 2128 01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:06,360 Speaker 2: MLB postseason, given the number of rounds that you've got 2129 01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:09,200 Speaker 2: to win. You look at it that there's a reason 2130 01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:13,240 Speaker 2: why it's been since two thousand that we've had a 2131 01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:16,200 Speaker 2: repeat champion. That made the baseball a quarter century, a 2132 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:22,080 Speaker 2: quarter century without a repeat champion. So while last year's game, 2133 01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,400 Speaker 2: the last year's World Series seemed inevitable that it would 2134 01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:28,599 Speaker 2: be Dodgers Yankees. Remember, of course, the Dodgers nearly were 2135 01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:30,960 Speaker 2: bounced in four games in the first round if that 2136 01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:34,360 Speaker 2: game four had gone differently, and certainly Padre fans know 2137 01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:38,599 Speaker 2: that very well. So I think that the Dodgers are great, 2138 01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:43,479 Speaker 2: but they're also vulnerable. I think a team like the Cubs, 2139 01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:46,839 Speaker 2: if they add the right starting pitching. They could scare 2140 01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:50,880 Speaker 2: somebody in season. I like the Giants bullpen. If they 2141 01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:53,880 Speaker 2: get hot, I think they're a dangerous team. The Phillies 2142 01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:56,600 Speaker 2: are perpetually in need of maybe one more reliever, and 2143 01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:59,040 Speaker 2: then they're about to get Bryce Harper back, and they've 2144 01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:01,960 Speaker 2: actually been able to pay ahead of the met team 2145 01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:04,920 Speaker 2: without Harper. So I've been very impressed by the way 2146 01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:07,120 Speaker 2: the Phillies have played. I think in the American League, 2147 01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:12,519 Speaker 2: your characterization is correct in that there's not really a 2148 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:17,800 Speaker 2: dominant team, even including the Yankees. Yankees are good, but 2149 01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,360 Speaker 2: they're not dominant. They're not even as good as they 2150 01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:24,080 Speaker 2: were a year ago. The Tigers are I think that 2151 01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:28,160 Speaker 2: right now, the most complete overall team, but they're not 2152 01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,439 Speaker 2: a star laden team. And they've got the best record 2153 01:42:30,439 --> 01:42:33,080 Speaker 2: in the American League. They've got an excellent pitching staff 2154 01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:36,479 Speaker 2: and ascended young star and Riley Green. They're about to 2155 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:39,320 Speaker 2: play at National TV tonight, their first Sunday night baseball 2156 01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:42,320 Speaker 2: game and in more than a decade, so it's it's 2157 01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:45,160 Speaker 2: an exciting time for the Tigers. But but they're not 2158 01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:47,360 Speaker 2: going to out superstar you. They're going to be a 2159 01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:51,439 Speaker 2: team that plays well collectively, has a really good, really 2160 01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:54,559 Speaker 2: good starting rotation that's run along by an excellent pitching 2161 01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:58,519 Speaker 2: coach and Chris Feder. It's more of an organizational effort, 2162 01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:02,800 Speaker 2: I think, than dependent upon particular star. So I personally 2163 01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:04,800 Speaker 2: like the way they played and like the way they 2164 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:08,000 Speaker 2: represent the game. But if you're looking for superstars and 2165 01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:10,960 Speaker 2: to be wowd like that, the Tigers probably are not 2166 01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:11,760 Speaker 2: your flavor of vice. 2167 01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:12,040 Speaker 4: Creak. 2168 01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:14,679 Speaker 1: I want to ask about Dave Parker for a second here, 2169 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:18,080 Speaker 1: so I'm of the era of Dave Parker, when at 2170 01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:20,479 Speaker 1: one point, certainly in the late seventies, he was the 2171 01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,800 Speaker 1: best player in Major League Baseball, a true five school guy. 2172 01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:26,879 Speaker 1: You've won back to back batting Championships, he won an MVP, 2173 01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,519 Speaker 1: he had a throwing arms second and none. We saw 2174 01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:31,080 Speaker 1: in the seventy and nine All Star Game when he 2175 01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,280 Speaker 1: gunned down Brian Downey had the plate and then of 2176 01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:36,760 Speaker 1: course his kura got derailed, you know, cocaine, all kinds 2177 01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:39,519 Speaker 1: of problems, and they resurrected his career with the Reds. 2178 01:43:39,880 --> 01:43:43,240 Speaker 1: And why I'm asking is that the Baseball writers never 2179 01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 1: gave him any love in the Hall of Fame voting. 2180 01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:48,479 Speaker 1: Only twice did he even get twenty percent of the vote. 2181 01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,240 Speaker 1: Veterans Committee recognized in and I interviewed him. I think 2182 01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 1: it was about seven or eight years ago. He's been 2183 01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:57,040 Speaker 1: suffering from Parkinson's for many, many years. He was a 2184 01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:59,680 Speaker 1: great interview. He was a little halting, you could tell 2185 01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:02,800 Speaker 1: he was and of great health. But why is it 2186 01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,479 Speaker 1: that a guy that had the kind of career he had, 2187 01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:08,320 Speaker 1: And I know he didn't always register high as far 2188 01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:12,120 Speaker 1: as the modern war stats, but to me, Dave Parker 2189 01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:15,719 Speaker 1: was a star, a Hall of fame in other words, fame, 2190 01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:20,040 Speaker 1: mess fame, hall of fame, dominant player. At one point 2191 01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,320 Speaker 1: you would make the argument he was the best player 2192 01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:24,920 Speaker 1: in all of Major League Baseball. What do you think 2193 01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:28,560 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame writers showed him so little respect? 2194 01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:33,240 Speaker 2: It's a great question. I do think that for a 2195 01:44:33,320 --> 01:44:36,720 Speaker 2: long time, and it's becoming less the case now, But 2196 01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:39,680 Speaker 2: for a long time, if there was any hint in you, 2197 01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:41,559 Speaker 2: in your reference to what he had gone through off 2198 01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:45,200 Speaker 2: the field, there was any hint of controversy, that the 2199 01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:50,480 Speaker 2: writers would would almost in some ways treat all controversies 2200 01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:54,920 Speaker 2: the same and use it to keep someone out. I 2201 01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:59,559 Speaker 2: think increasingly now in baseball we are looking for reasons 2202 01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:03,439 Speaker 2: to put players in instead of keep them out, And 2203 01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:07,840 Speaker 2: something that is mildly controversial now could be something as 2204 01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:11,840 Speaker 2: baseball centric and simple is as for example, did a 2205 01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:14,519 Speaker 2: player play long enough? Did Joe Mahler play long enough? 2206 01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:16,400 Speaker 2: The answer clearly was yes, He's a Hall of Famer. 2207 01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,040 Speaker 2: Did Buster Posley play long enough? I believe the answer 2208 01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:22,240 Speaker 2: for him will also be yes. So there are ways 2209 01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:25,679 Speaker 2: of dealing with different shortcomings in different ways. I think 2210 01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:30,400 Speaker 2: that the writers had made up their minds about Parker 2211 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:33,000 Speaker 2: because of, as you mentioned that the off field issues 2212 01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:35,800 Speaker 2: that he went through and never really got around it 2213 01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:38,920 Speaker 2: changing their minds about him in time for him to 2214 01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:42,720 Speaker 2: really enjoy obviously the induction, where if he had been 2215 01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,479 Speaker 2: elected five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten years ago, he 2216 01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:47,120 Speaker 2: would have been able to be there when he was 2217 01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:49,320 Speaker 2: in better health that actually go to Cooperstown and then 2218 01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,800 Speaker 2: enjoy the award. I think that's the heartbreaking part for me. 2219 01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:55,840 Speaker 2: But I suppose that the silver lining is that he 2220 01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,200 Speaker 2: did die knowing that he was a Hall of Famer, 2221 01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:00,000 Speaker 2: and I was, actually I was very fortunate. I was 2222 01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,519 Speaker 2: on the set the night that he was elected, and 2223 01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:05,519 Speaker 2: I was there with Greg Amsinger interviewing Dave Parker and 2224 01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:08,320 Speaker 2: clearly it was difficult for him to speak, but he 2225 01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:11,519 Speaker 2: obviously knew what was going on, and he knew what 2226 01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:14,479 Speaker 2: it meant that he'd been elected and had to support 2227 01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,080 Speaker 2: and the validation of being a Hall of Famer. So 2228 01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:21,040 Speaker 2: he died with that knowledge. As tragic as it seems now, 2229 01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:25,479 Speaker 2: but I think that the important thing in some sense, 2230 01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:29,519 Speaker 2: when you're voted in by the Era Committee, it is 2231 01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:32,400 Speaker 2: your peers who are doing the voting, and Dave Parker's 2232 01:46:32,439 --> 01:46:35,360 Speaker 2: peers knew how great he was in a way that 2233 01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:37,600 Speaker 2: maybe the writers didn't fully appreciate it. And I do 2234 01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:39,600 Speaker 2: think writers are getting better at looking at all the 2235 01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:42,200 Speaker 2: information and taking it all in and maybe removing whatever 2236 01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:47,240 Speaker 2: biases existed at a particular time. And whatever the reasons were, 2237 01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:49,639 Speaker 2: he should have gotten in a lot earlier than he did. 2238 01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:51,519 Speaker 2: The important thing is, of course, it was from a 2239 01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:54,920 Speaker 2: standpoint of his legacy, It's always going to be in Cooperstown, 2240 01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:58,240 Speaker 2: which is exactly where it should be for the great Cobra. 2241 01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:00,519 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday, Harmon Husky. 2242 01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:02,639 Speaker 3: Right on Fox Sports Radio, we have the great JP 2243 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:06,400 Speaker 3: Morosi on is our MLB and let's talk about All 2244 01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:09,000 Speaker 3: Star Games, new faces, new guys, young guys, whether you 2245 01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,800 Speaker 3: recognize them or not. Byron Buckston twenty eight to eighty six, 2246 01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,080 Speaker 3: bat in eighth in the league and ops non twenty eight, 2247 01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:20,040 Speaker 3: nineteen runs, fifty one RBIs, fifteen stolen bases, All Star. 2248 01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:20,880 Speaker 1: Yeah or nay? 2249 01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:21,719 Speaker 3: Yes? 2250 01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:25,519 Speaker 2: Byron Buxton for sure. For me, I think he is 2251 01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:30,280 Speaker 2: one of the absolutely most electrifying players in the game, 2252 01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:33,400 Speaker 2: and obviously staying healthy has been a challenge. He's played 2253 01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:36,160 Speaker 2: one hundred and more games twice in his career. Hopefully 2254 01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:37,559 Speaker 2: is going to be able to change it this year 2255 01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:40,040 Speaker 2: and play more than one hundred for the third time. 2256 01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:42,599 Speaker 2: But my goodness, bej when he is there, he's already 2257 01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,960 Speaker 2: got nineteen homers as you document, He's well on his 2258 01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:50,320 Speaker 2: way easily to a twenty twenty season, hopefully a thirty 2259 01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,599 Speaker 2: thirty season, which would be the first of his career. 2260 01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:57,160 Speaker 2: He to me, is just a delight to watch. And 2261 01:47:57,200 --> 01:47:59,599 Speaker 2: I always say this that when you've got someone that's 2262 01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:05,759 Speaker 2: battled injury, when they're stealing bases again and their body 2263 01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:08,799 Speaker 2: feels good enough to have what is I was described 2264 01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:13,320 Speaker 2: still in second base as like a low grade NFL collision. Okay, 2265 01:48:13,360 --> 01:48:17,080 Speaker 2: you're not wearing pads, you're going full speed, you're sliding 2266 01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:21,519 Speaker 2: into something or someone. Body to the ground is hard, 2267 01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:24,240 Speaker 2: body to the base is hard. There's a lot of 2268 01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:28,920 Speaker 2: collisions there, and you're not doing that unless your body 2269 01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:34,519 Speaker 2: feels good. And right now, Byron Buxton VJ fifteen out 2270 01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:37,599 Speaker 2: of fifteen in stolen bases. He's never been thrown out. 2271 01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:40,360 Speaker 2: I realize. I realized the rules of the game are different. 2272 01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:43,960 Speaker 2: That's some element here, and I fully understand that. But 2273 01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:46,960 Speaker 2: the rules of the game and the way that MLB 2274 01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:53,120 Speaker 2: has handled the sport was designed to amplify the talent 2275 01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:57,920 Speaker 2: of a player exactly like Byron Buxton. He is the guy, 2276 01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:00,880 Speaker 2: and so for me, I'm just throw it for him, 2277 01:49:01,120 --> 01:49:04,320 Speaker 2: for his family, a tremendously classy gentleman who I've always 2278 01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:06,880 Speaker 2: enjoyed talking with in the past, and I'm just thrilled 2279 01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:08,840 Speaker 2: to see him back and playing the way that he is, 2280 01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:12,320 Speaker 2: because he does bring to so much joy to the 2281 01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:14,519 Speaker 2: field and to the stands when he's out there doing 2282 01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:14,960 Speaker 2: what he's doing. 2283 01:49:15,040 --> 01:49:17,439 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, all right, JP, great stuff. Obviously, with the 2284 01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:19,559 Speaker 1: All Star Game coming up and before you know, we'll 2285 01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:23,759 Speaker 1: be talking about that trade deadline. Oh, some big deals 2286 01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:27,400 Speaker 1: on the horizon, potentially in Major League Baseball. JP, enjoyed 2287 01:49:27,439 --> 01:49:29,639 Speaker 1: the rest of you weekend. We'll talk to you next Sunday. 2288 01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,400 Speaker 2: Steve Evangeli, I look forward to this every week, my friends, 2289 01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:34,080 Speaker 2: all the best, have a great start to the week, 2290 01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:35,000 Speaker 2: and look forward to next week. 2291 01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:38,559 Speaker 1: There is all right, John Paul Morose SI. Now let's 2292 01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:42,080 Speaker 1: find out what is a trending is Monsey has been 2293 01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:46,800 Speaker 1: waiting patiently patiently? All right, love JP. When you watch 2294 01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:49,640 Speaker 1: the Dodgers wearing their Brooklyn Dodger caps, how do you 2295 01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:50,240 Speaker 1: feel about that? 2296 01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:52,759 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't mind it, but it is funny 2297 01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:55,720 Speaker 5: because I see him be. It's very similar to Boston's 2298 01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:58,320 Speaker 5: be right.
