Speaker 1: clean pants down well, Yes, you heard from monci Bolagnas

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: just moments ago, the big news in Major League baseball. Hey,

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: when when your off season is going as it is,

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: sometimes you call an old friend and say, let's make

26
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: a trade. The Mets are getting All Star starter Freddy

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Peralta from the Brewers in return, Jet Williams and Brandon Sprote,

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: two of the mets better prospects. Two guys that were

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: projected to break through to the team this year are

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: going to Milwaukee. So here come the Mets. And this

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: is the thing. Mike Carmen, what did I say the

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: entire offseason when guys sign early loose players.

33
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: What if I said stuff, You're right there, the Mets suck.

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: What do I say? Are we playing a game tomorrow?

35
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 5: No?

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: Okay? Are we playing a game on Friday? No? No okay.

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: So we don't have to put out a team that

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: hasn't replaced Alonzo and McNeil and Diaz and Nimoy. We

39
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: don't have to put out a team. We're not playing

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: for a I keep looking. An opening day is still

41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: like like a month over a month and a half,

42
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: two months away, two and a half months away. I

43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: think we're okay. I think we're we're gonna get players.

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: It's okay. And here they are now last night they

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: make the trade with your White Sox for Luis Robert

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Junior and now Freddy Peralta. They get the ace they

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: need uh and they win the off season. I am

48
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: more than okay with the talent they brought in, with

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: the talent they got out some day. Just it's I know,

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: everybody wants immediacy. And you lose Alonzo and the next day,

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: and this is for every team. You lose a player

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: the next day, you want your team to replace that

53
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: guy with somebody better. Right, it's crazy, Oh he lost

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: his guys, we want somebody better the next day. I mean,

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: the Dodgers can do that, but nobody else can. So understand.

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes off sea it takes while. That's why it's the

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: off season. It's an off seas. It's not an off week,

58
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: it's not an off day, it's not an off meetings.

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: It's an off season. And it goes from from the

60
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: end of October through December, through the Winter Meetings into January,

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: right before pitchers and catchers into the beginning of spring training.

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: It takes a bit. It takes a while, So yeah,

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: everybody wants that. But listen to me. I'm always calm,

64
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: cool and collected when it comes. Sure, Mike, you know me.

65
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I am missed cool. I never passed im. That's ster cool.

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm like Ponsie over here. I never have wild swings

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: of emotion. This is not who I always tell you. Listen,

68
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: I am cool reasoning. Hey, understand, it's a long off season.

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: They don't have to play a game for a while.

70
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Oh and now now their work is done. Now they

71
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: went out and they've made the team better.

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: Well, let me put it this way.

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 6: You know, we were talking a lot about the would

74
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 6: be salary cap, which I still think it'll be a

75
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 6: cold day in hell before that actually gets gets in

76
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 6: and acted. Not that there won't be some other considerations,

77
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 6: but is this the way they try to get equal

78
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 6: to the Dodgers? Like here, you're gonna send out a

79
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 6: couple of buckets of balls for a former All Star

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 6: on a contract year and a guy that won seventeen games.

81
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: Jeed Williams is shorter than I am.

82
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: He's fine, think yeah, he's five to six five six

83
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: five seven. Flastwood used to send me pictures of them

84
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: last year, like, like really, tiny at the plate, like

85
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: like like photoshopped all the way down, like photoshopped at

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: all like ant Man, like all of a sudden like

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: ant Man. But it doesn't you know, you know, hey, hey,

88
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: good things come in small packages, right, You hear that, right? Jet?

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I know you've been using that excuse for a lot

90
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: of years, there's no question about it. But in this

91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: particular case, you get a guy for nothing. Is you

92
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: get an All Star for almost nothing?

93
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 6: And look, Jet Williams might be a nice utility guy,

94
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 6: he's got some speed.

95
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: Whatever.

96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 6: This is not like commensurate trade right of All Star

97
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 6: for All Star and top notch prospects. These are guys

98
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 6: that could come through the system. That's all fine and good,

99
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 6: but you back to back nights big moves for the Mets.

100
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 6: Louis Robert Junior was a guy I liked in Spurts,

101
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 6: was very, very good for them. One of the experiments

102
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 6: of the White Sox trying to do their examples of

103
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 6: what the Braves had done. Say hey, we could do that,

104
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 6: and then they chose poorly on all those guys, except

105
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 6: every once in a while Robert would have a run.

106
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 6: Here you get a seventeen game winner, four double digit

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 6: win seasons the last six. I know the win total

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 6: is something that people try to dismiss.

109
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: No, don't know.

110
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 6: I need a guy that can work into the sixth

111
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 6: and seventh inning, which he does with some regularity, which

112
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 6: won't tax your bullpen, which doesn't have your guy and

113
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 6: Narco anymore. So you're still trying to replace that with

114
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 6: a new song.

115
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Well, that's okay, we'll cut with some new song. For

116
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: Devin Williams. Won't have to worry about seeing Pete Alonzo

117
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: every day. I mean that that's the positive for him.

118
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: You won't have to walk and see him in the

119
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: locker room every day.

120
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 6: Well, that's the move that had to be made hard

121
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 6: Aso couldn't be in that locker room because Devin Williams

122
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 6: would always have flashbacks.

123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: We talked about this.

124
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 6: It was good psychological break right there by the way,

125
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 6: I saw the first trading card of Pee Alonso in

126
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 6: an Oriel's uniform.

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: It just does not look right.

128
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't it uniform. Let him wear his Mets

129
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: uniform while he plays.

130
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: For alone time with it.

131
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: Hello, Hey he's gone. I said goodbye to Alonzo two

132
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: years ago when he hired Scott Boris. I said, well

133
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: he's gone. I'm lucky. I got the home run off

134
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: a Devin Williams two years ago in the playoffs. That's

135
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: all you got. That, that's all that you really, that

136
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 1: is the big what do they call it, Frostburg Mets season? Yeah, well, hey,

137
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: you got to raise a banner at some point, right, like, uh,

138
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: everything they need to do they did, every dude. I'll

139
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: see you in the NLCS with a different squad of guys.

140
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: Will have Soto and we'll see how it.

141
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: Plays playing that game in CanCon, buddy, and.

142
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: You'll have Kyle Tucker checking his phone in between every

143
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: inning's going, hey man, he's not worth sixty million dollars

144
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: a year. Hang on? Is that? I'll see you in

145
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: the NLCS, Frostburg. It's okay. I'm ready to go right

146
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: from spring training to the NLC. Yes, quite honestly, I'm

147
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: ready to go. Okay, let's let's get everybody up, everybody healthy,

148
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: everybody gets past the World Baseball Classic, okay, Knockwood, every past,

149
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: and then we go right to the NLCS.

150
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 6: There you go, just bypass the rest of it. I'm

151
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 6: under sixty two game slog, but i mean, look, the

152
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 6: last forty eight hours outside of the Knicks.

153
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: I made a big win today.

154
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, sixty six points. They held the nets too.

155
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: Not only is Jalen Brunson the greatest player in NBA history,

156
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: everybody listens when he calls a player's only meeting. I

157
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: mean they beat Brooklynton Night by sixty I mean really,

158
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: they beat him one twenty to sixty six. I think

159
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: they forget about Mike Brown. Jalen Brunston should be the coach.

160
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: We don't need Mike Brown defensive house Mike Brown. Jalen

161
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: Brunson should be the coach. The first player coach in

162
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: NBA history. Let's yeah, yeah, maybe there was somebody greatest

163
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: of all the time. He picked the players.

164
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 6: Only meeting ahead of an old matchup against an eleven

165
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 6: win team.

166
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Ooh, look, well, look at the great motivator that he is. Well,

167
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: that's when you're supposed to have. You don't have players.

168
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Sixty six points doesn't get spread out over teny games

169
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: to where you get any extra wins.

170
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: This is great.

171
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: You demoralize a craptastic team that probably couldn't run me,

172
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Ty Shirt, Monsey Frostburg and Elijah off a court. Now listen, hey,

173
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: this is why you're not gonna have a player's only

174
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: a meeting before you're going to play Oklahoma City. This

175
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: is why when when when teams fire managers in Major

176
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: League Baseball, they don't fire them before they're playing the Dodgers.

177
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: They fire them before they're playing the White Sox. That's

178
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: when you fire. Hey, listen, So this could work and

179
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: we can get some success going on, and we can

180
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: win at least two out of three, maybe a sweep.

181
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: Maybe we win all four games. Maybe other team doesn't

182
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: score a run. Again, if you're playing the White Sox,

183
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you want to take a shot to be

184
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: I'll take a shot to you. I mean, that's what

185
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: swinging neck break in your ass. Don't don't just start

186
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: with me right, twenty nine percent from the field for

187
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: the next look at the defensive effort. All it chok

188
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: was the media to go after Carl Anthony Towns and

189
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: his inability to move his feet. Really player coach to

190
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: the next Jalen Brunson. I mean, I mean's who says no,

191
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: who says no?

192
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: Why not?

193
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? Yeah?

194
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 6: I mean, and then he's like Harvey Dent a little

195
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 6: two phase action. Like so he's got the uniform on

196
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 6: one side and suit up on the other.

197
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is a big This is a

198
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: big day for me, Mike. This is this is a

199
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: This may be the best day I get at sports

200
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: all year. The Knicks beat the Nets by sixty and

201
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: the Mets get Freddy Peralta. This might be as good

202
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: as at Syracuse's beating Virginia Tech by six. Right now,

203
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: this may be as good as it gets for me

204
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: all year at sports. So I'm gonna hold on to

205
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: this moment for five minutes. I'm gonna hold on to this.

206
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: I really need to. Right now.

207
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 6: I've got in the studio, the four monitors up, I've

208
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 6: got some post game I've got Pistons and Pelicans Gray Okay,

209
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 6: see Milwaukee. That's all funny, good, But it got the

210
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 6: Mike Brown press conference and they just put up.

211
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 3: A giant graphic that just said defense and show no.

212
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Come on, we can't do this because otherwise, like what

213
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: you you don't put up a graphic that says no

214
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: defense when they're getting run.

215
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: Off the court.

216
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: I met, I may not get I may not get

217
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: a better day than this, Mike, I really may this

218
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: is it? This is it time, this is it? This

263
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 6: It's a nice luxury to have. It's like, hey, let's

264
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 6: go shopping. It's like your own personal costco.

265
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: I like that, my own personal costco. What could I

266
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: possibly buy? What could I buy?

267
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,479
Speaker 6: Well, A lot of people have those, with the dungeons

268
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 6: that they've built for doomsday. They've got their own personal costcos.

269
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: Oh sure, oh sure, sure, I buy my own personal Well,

270
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: if Davante Adams can have a taco bell in his house,

271
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: then I think, you know it could easily easily do that.

272
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: That's fine.

273
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: I think you should try to replicate that. Yeah, maybe

274
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: maybe get your own McDonald's. You know, you want you

275
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: want to standing there like you're the proprietor.

276
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: So around the corner from where I live, a house

277
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: is being remodeled and it's like being torn down to

278
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: the studs and they're building it back up. And so

279
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: the construction company that's doing it, you know, puts you know,

280
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: they have a chain link fence around as they're doing it,

281
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: and they put a uh and they put ah, you

282
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: know uh like like big size ends up saying so

283
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: and so construction company with pictures and everything else and

284
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: all that, you know everything, somebody went and I don't

285
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: know why they did it, but somebody went and got

286
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: a big coming soon taco bell sign and put it

287
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: up there. And for the for like the two week period,

288
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: everybody thought we were getting a taco bell, like in

289
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: the middle of a residential neighborhood. I'm like, I'm saying

290
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: to myself, how would I feel about that? Like I

291
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: think I would be upset because probably be a lot

292
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: of trafficing people and hanging around all that, and like, oh, okay,

293
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: you know. But then I'm like, oh, I got a

294
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: taco bell that I could just you know, walk around

295
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: the corner too, Like, I don't know, that's pretty cool,

296
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: So I'd be I'm kind of toy. I wouldn't know

297
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: how to feel about that. If it was really going

298
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: to be a taco bell.

299
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 6: I think you'd be pretty excited about it. Yeah, I

300
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 6: think there'd be a lot of case Rito's in your future.

301
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: What do you wanna do for lunch today? My wife

302
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: would say, if you say taco bell again, we're getting

303
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: divorced now. No, I wouldn't say Taco bell. But now

304
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: that you mentioned it, we haven't been there in eleven hours.

305
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Why don't we go back.

306
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 6: And you get this without the tortillas For this trip,

307
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 6: I brought a multi colored bowl.

308
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,480

395
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: mileage and the the attention to this story four days later.

396
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: But yet, who am I to look at gift horse

397
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: in the mouth, because boy, is this fun. I didn't

398
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: think the Bills firing Sean McDermott was going to be

399
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: a four day long it's like oz Fest. Like it starting,

400
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: it's gone, Hey, who's playing? Night one? Well? Night one,

401
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: it's the players upset about McDermott. Okay, night too, it's

402
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: about Josh Schallen. Night three, McDermott fights back. Night four,

403
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: that's the big night. That's when the owner talks and

404
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: the GM talks like as it's it's the oz Fest

405
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: above NFL stories. But after Sean McDermott got fired by

406
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: by the Bills following the loss to the Broncos, uh,

407
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: it has been four days of shock and outrage and

408
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: both sides trying to dance. And what we saw from

409
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: the Bills today is that they cannot handle failure. Right.

410
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: We talk about teams that can't handle success, that's a

411
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: big thing. But wow, they can't handle failure. But they're

412
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 1: making up for it with bitterness and excuses. So I

413
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: understand there's a plan at work for Buffalo where hey,

414
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: we failed, and boy, we don't really know how to

415
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: handle this, so we're gonna be We're gonna lash out,

416
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna make excuses. And that's what today was. As

417
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: Bills owner Terry Pogoula had a press conference that boy, uh,

418
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: this should have been fought out a little bit differently.

419
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Rather than have him get in front of a microphone

420
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: and say what he had to say, this just takes

421
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: this story and he makes you go, how did the

422
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Bills win to the extent they did these last few years?

423
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: If this is how dysfunctional and how excuse making everything

424
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: sounds after they lose a playoff game like the like

425
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: I saw this and I go, man, the Bills people

426
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: held up the Bills this great organization. Now I'm like, ah,

427
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: they're just like us. I mean, well not just like

428
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: my teams, but they're just like almost everybody else. Like

429
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: they're really they're really not this whole this whole team

430
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: that we can look up to. It in front office we

431
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: can say, let's follow what they do. No, they show Hey,

432
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: we clearly don't know what we're doing just as much

433
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: as everybody else.

434
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, but these guys all have a half life of

435
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 6: cicadas at this point.

436
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: In the last two weeks, we've gotten your guy Dolan,

437
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: today we get Pagoula, and then we had Bashati, three

438
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: guys that come out like it's you know, every once

439
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: in a while, what is it Haley's comment? We don't

440
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: we don't get comments, and we got all of them

441
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: within like a ten day period. Yeah, here's the state

442
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: of affairs on our team. Yeah, it all sucks, Like.

443
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: All right, let's go.

444
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: So there's so many things to get to off of

445
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: this failure, like this has been the biggest fail like

446
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: this keeping the Bears from being Paige one news. Go boy,

447
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,160

449
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: the team. The team is blaming the head coach. This

450
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,240

451
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: that Bill's owner Terry Pagoula said today, because I go,

452

Speaker 1: what are you doing? Why do you think like you know,

453

Speaker 1: having things their way, and they're used to to to

455
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: dominating conversations. But man, they get in front of the

456
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: press and I go, where's the where's the guy that

Speaker 1: they are, and in front of everybody when they have

462
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: to talk, they show you, Wow, how did you get

463
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: this far? How did you get It's like it's like

464
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: the other night when I said, he is it too

465
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: much to ask of our world leaders when you send

466
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: text messages to use proper punctuation and syntax and grammar.

467
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm asking too much to show that, Hey,

468
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: I went to school for a little bit. You know.

469
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: Let's not have like, you know, lower capital letters and

470
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: run on sentences. Let's just make it look good like.

471
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: I see the owners and I go, wow, they just

472
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: I can go out and say whatever I want to

473
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: say because I'm used to do having everything my way,

474
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: not knowing that when you walk away from it, everybody

475
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: is looking at you, going Okay, so that happened. Now

476
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: we'll deal with the fallout.

477
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, But the beauty of it is, if you are

478
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 6: the head of a multi billion dollar corporation or a

479
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 6: small nation or a large nation for that matter, you

480
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 6: don't really give a rip what anybody says, because what

481
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 6: are they gonna do take the team away from you?

482
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 6: Unless you really say something out of pocket, it's gonna

483
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 6: be like, Wow, what a quirky, kind of maniacal son

484
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 6: of up. And they move on and then it's the

485
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 6: next day and you get into the next chaos theory

486
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 6: that goes on for for this, I mean, this just

487
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 6: has so many layers to it because all you have

488
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 6: to do is start going down their own social media

489
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: and their own media history, and it really uh submarines

490
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 6: and kneecaps every argument they tried to make in this.

491
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: All right, So let's deal with a couple of things

492
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: that he said, because this just I mean, look, it's

493
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: the game of the week, you know, the look the

494
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: two big games of the week, the Rams and the

495
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: Bears and this one in the AFC. One of the

496
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: things that Pegoula talked about was in reference to the

497
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: big story from a day ago where Sean McDermott, Bill's

498
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: head coach, it came out that one of the reasons

499
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: he was fired is because during a meeting he had

500
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: with Pegoula and GM Brandon Bean, who obviously put loves

501
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: and he kicked upstairs where they didn't like that. He said,

502
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: the roster's not talented enough for us to win a

503
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: right roster's not talented enough, okay, And you point out

504
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: some of the guys that that aren't great, and Keon

505
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: Coleman is someone who is at the top of that list,

506
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: right first round pick. He's going to be our next

507
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: big wide receiver. He's replacing Stefan Diggs. Well, it has

508
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: it worked the guy. The guy was benched for a

509
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: couple of games near the end. It never worked. He's

510
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: not been that guy. And here's Terry Pagoula, who wanted

511
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: to make sure to say, oh hey, hey, let me

512
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: make sure you all know whose idea it was to

513
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: actually draft the guy. Take a listen.

514
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 5: The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon. I'm not saying

515
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 5: Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice.

516
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 5: He's taken for somebody's in the heat over it and

517
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 5: not saying a word about it.

518
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. This is first of all,

519
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: this is your owner playing oh yeah, not not oh yeah.

520
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.

521
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, it wasn't our idea to draft ke On Coleman.

522
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: It was your right. It was a coaching staff. I'm

523
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: going to absolve my GM, who apparently has no power.

524
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: Apparently has no power because the coaching staff wanted to

525
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: draft key On Coleman. So I'm going to say that

526
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: he had no impact on this whatsoever, which is embarrassing

527
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: for the GM. The guy you kept and you gave

528
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: a promotion to, but now you have a guy that's

529
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: on your roster that's still playing for you. Keon Coleman

530
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: is still playing for the Bill, although after this, I

531
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: don't know for how long. Maybe he asked for his release,

532
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: Maybe the Bills trade him. They might have to, because

533
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: here's your owner publicly airing out Yeah, hey, this guy stinks.

534
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: Wasn't my idea to draft him, it was our coach idea.

535
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: He plays for you, he's on your team, he's on

536
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: a rookie contract, and you decide to say don't blame me,

537
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: blame him. This is what we do at sports talk radio.

538
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: This is not what is not what you did you

539
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: do as an owner. This guy is still on your team.

540
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: What are you thinking, Terry Pagula.

541
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: Don't blame me. I voted for Codosh.

542
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: Look, the problem is that there's video from the combine

543
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: that they put up about how excited they were and

544
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: being actually getting jacked up about the fact that Coleman

545
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: ran a five point seven forty. Oh, that's going to

546
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: help us, that's gonna help us in the draft. So

547
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: he's like, no, no, no, you're you're lying, and it's we

548
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: have the irrefutable evidence of you being excited in the

549
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: box watching the workouts and getting excited that the guy

550
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: sucked yeah, and then he was slow, and that that

551
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: would benefit you somehow. This is this is just this

552
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: is this is the beginning of this. When you knew

553
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: you heard this, I said, Okay, we're getting we're getting

554
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: clear insanity from Terry Pagolau. Then he went on to

555
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: say when he made the decision to fire Sean McDermott,

556
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: and it happened right after the loss of Denver, my.

557
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 5: Decision to bring in a new coach was based on

558
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 5: the results of our game in Denver. I know we

559
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 5: can do better, and I know we will get better.

560
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: He said that after seeing the locker room following the

561
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: game and Josh Allen was crying and everybody was in despair,

562
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: that's when he made his decision to fire Sean McDermott. Okay,

563
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: now put it in that for a second. He also

564
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: went on to say in this press conference and talk about,

565
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: of course the interception that was ruled, Brandon Cooks did

566
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: not have possession interception for the Broncos. They drive down

567
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: and get the big score, they win the game. The

568
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: Bills have decided. Okay, as I said, they can't handle failure,

569
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: so they're hiding it with bitterness and excuses right here, No,

570
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: we're making the excuse about Keon Coleman, and now we're

571
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: going to say, oh yeah, the interception. He went on

572
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: a long explanation today about how it wasn't an interception,

573
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: it was a completed pass and the NFL screwed them. Okay,

574
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: let's forget about the point that the rule is pretty

575
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 1: clear that you know it's an interception. He did not

576
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: survive and complete the catch and survive the ground. Anybody

577
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: that's ever watched Larry David and Jane Krakowski explain how Austin,

578
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: Safari and Jenkins did not complete the catch and that's

579
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: why Karl was killed. You understand, you have to complete

580
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: the catch, right, That did not happen. Right. I'm sorry

581
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: that it was that he didn't catch it, and I'm

582
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: sorry that it went that way. But that's pretty much

583
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: the rule. Right. I get that you're mad and you're

584
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: but just because you're mad about it doesn't make it

585
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: that you got screwed. You can be mad, that's great,

586
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: but understand, Yeah, it's a pretty easy thing. Like when

587
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: you got Joe burrw who doesn't have a dog in

588
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: the fight, come on social media and say yeah pretty much. Yeah,

589
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: both those that the Devontae Adams, Yeah no, that was

590
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: they made the right call. Okay, yeah, nothing to see here.

591
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: So so here the.

592
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 3: Bill is that when he was sitting in that McDonald's.

593
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he wasn't sitting in Taco bellat Devanta Adams.

594
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: So you have the bills now who continue to want

595
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: to go down the road of we got screwed on

596
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: that interception. And if we have that interception, if that

597
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: call is not made, you know, we win. Okay, think

598
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: about that, right many Bills fans and Pegola is saying

599
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: that as well, So just think about this for a second.

600
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: He made the decision to fire his head coach because

601
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: they lost the game. However, he says, they got screwed

602
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: in the game and it should have been a catch

603
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: and they should have won. So wait a minute. So

604
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: because the referees screwed your team, you fired your head coach.

605
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: What the hell are you trying to tell me? I mean, really,

606
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: what are you trying to tell me that? Okay, when

607
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: when we got screwed on that play? Okay, if that's

608
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: how you really feel, you're not firing your head coach.

609
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: You're going to the wall with that's a completed pass,

610
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: an X, Y, and Z. And I'm gonna bring this

611
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: up at owners meetings and all this stuff. But because

612
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: you got screwed, oh I gotta fire you as a

613
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: head coach. Yeah no, that doesn't make sense. I feel

614
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: like the Bills. They fired Sean McDermott, and it was

615
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: a very emotional decision and it hasn't played the way

616
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: they thought it would. The fan base is mad. Maybe

617
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: the players are upset. You haven't heard a lot from

618
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: the players on this, and so now they're trying to

619
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: figure out a way how do we salvage this situation

620
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: and they don't know what to do. Because here's Terry

621
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: Pagola who is contradicting himself when he says, yeah, I

622
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: made the decision after seeing the locker room and everybody

623
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: was so sad, and Josh Allen was so sad. But hey,

624
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: that play screwed us and we could we we would

625
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: have won the game. So I really I don't Bills

626
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: are just absolutely sliding. It's like it's like they stepped

627
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: on a slip and slide and they've got grease on

628
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: their feet and they have no idea how to stop.

629
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: And that's what's going on right now because they are showing, you, man,

630
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: we just cannot handle failure. We can't handle this situation.

631
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: And when they should be doing, honestly, is they should

632
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: be saying, hey, you know why you lost because Josh

633
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: Allen stunk. I'd had more respective Terry Pagoula said, hey,

634
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I love Josh Allen. He's great, best

635
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: player in the league, best quarterback. Wouldn't have wouldn't have

636
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: anybody else, but he's stunk. He cost us this game

637
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: because he did the turnovers, the misthrows at the end

638
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: of the game, the missing Dawson Knox skipping it to

639
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir, under throwing the ball that got picked off

640
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: when Brandon Cooks caught it. Josh Allen made a half

641
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: a dozen to eight bad plays, awful play. He killed

642
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: the Bills this weekend. But nobody wants to admit that

643
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: and say, hey, sometimes your best player has a bad

644
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: game and you lose. But that's what happened, and the

645
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: Bills don't want to see that. They want to see

646
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: all these other excuses for why they lost. Man, they

647
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: are in for a world of an awful offseason as

648
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: they try to go forward after this.

649
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 6: Now, I'm going to reference something that happened some six

650
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 6: hundred and thirty nine kilometers away from Buffalo, going back

651
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 6: to November seventeenth, nineteen ninety seven, when Vince McMahon famously

652
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 6: addressed the Montreal screw job.

653
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: By saying, Brett screwed Brett. This is what But go ahead,

654
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: Josh screwed.

655
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Josh screwed McDermott, Because that's exactly what happened here. You

656
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: need to figure out how to make him better in

657
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: the biggest of scenarios, the biggest game situations.

658
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 6: But all of that, and you say all these that

659
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 6: you couldn't get over, and all of that is true.

660
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: Right.

661
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 6: It's the same thing we talked about with Harball and

662
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 6: the same thing we've said with so many coaches that

663
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 6: have failed. If you're losing one score games consistently, you

664
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 6: got to look in the mirror at some point. And

665
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 6: in this case, playoff run after playoff run. Yes, you

666
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 6: had six wins and all of that, and playoffs all

667
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 6: these years, that's.

668
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: All funny, good. You weren't getting any further.

669
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 6: But to say all of those if we needed a change,

670
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 6: by the way, we got screwed.

671
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 3: And that was when we made the decision.

672
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 6: It's like, okay, now we just need to have a

673
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 6: reality check. And again you go back into hiding for

674
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 6: eight years until we see you again and we see

675
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 6: a white puff of smoke. But again, Vince McMahon, Brett, screwed, Brett.

676
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: I love seeing teams showing yeah, we're not nearly who

677
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: you thought we were. Right, We're not this great well

678
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: run organization. We're an organization that got really lucky with

679
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and when the quarterback didn't play well, look

680
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: what happened to us. Look where we are, we're firing

681
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: coaches were doing. I mean that's what they are. They

682
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: got lucky, they got the quarterback and that helps. But

683
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: when the quarterback didn't play well, look at the fallout

684
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: and when it went bad, we cut those guys loose.

685
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: Have you ever wiped the piece of dry toilet paper

686
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: and wondered, as this as good as it gets? That's

687
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: it to not switch to life changing wet extra large

00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: get in the wide world of sports From Monci Belagos,

692
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: who will tell you her favorite Clipper of all time

693
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: is Chris Paul, when in reality it's Paul George.

694
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 8: I'm sorry that was funny.

695
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no no.

696
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 8: I'm contemplating whether I want to keep my Paul George

697
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 8: Clipper's shirt. That's how much I don't like him. Okay,

698
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 8: I'm contemplating with it, like do I want it? Like

699
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 8: do I want to keep it. It's not a jersey,

700
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 8: but it's like a jersey, like it's a T shirt,

701
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 8: you know, with the with the logo and his name

702
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 8: on the back.

703
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

704
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: Sure, I don't know if I want it, Like, why

705
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: do I want that?

706
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 8: I had a Melvin Gordon Chargers jersey and I got

707
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 8: rid of that one.

708
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: Right.

709
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 8: He made bad Paul George made bad decisions.

710
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you know what I'm saying? So just walking

711
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: up to Shrewder he Yeah.

712
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 8: It's funny that because I don't know what to do

713
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 8: with that jersey anyway. Why don't we start in the NBA?

714
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 8: Because your Knicks crushed it today, Jason. They just really

715
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 8: boldozed over the nets.

716
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: One.

717
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 8: Twenty to sixty six was the final score. Brooklyn scored

718
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 8: just ten points in the fourth quarter. New York won

719
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 8: by fifty four points, which is a franchise record.

720
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 3: Not too bad for the Knicks.

721
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 8: The Hawks took down the Grizzlies when twenty four to

722
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 8: one to twenty two, Pistons over the Pelicans win twelve

723
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 8: to one oh four, Cats top the Hornets ninety four

724
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 8: eighty seven, and the Celtics defeat at the Pacers one

725
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 8: nineteen to one oh four. Right now, with about one

726
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 8: minute to go in the first half, the thunder are

727
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 8: trying to pull away from the Bucks. They're up sixty

728
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 8: six to forty eight, and early in the second quarter,

729
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 8: the Kings are leading the Raptors thirty two to twenty six.

730
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 8: In men's college hoops, it's still early in the second half,

731
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 8: but Number one Arizona has a thirty eight to thirty

732
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 8: three lead over Cincinnati. Number seven Nebraska on top of

733
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 8: Washington sixty three to fifty. This one has about eight

734
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 8: minutes to go in the game. When it comes to

735
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 8: the NHL, the Ducks, who have lost four in a row,

736
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 8: are currently up the Avalanche one zero. It's late in

737
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 8: the second period. The Flyers have lost a lot in

738
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 8: a row, I think like seven. They're up on the

739
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 8: Mammoth four to two with about five minutes to go

740
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 8: in the second period. Islanders and the Kraken are tied

741
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 8: at one apiece. After the first period. Capitals over the

742
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 8: Connucks two to one.

743
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: Also late in the first period.

744
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 8: There in baseball, the news that broke not long ago

745
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 8: that the Mets have acquired All star right hander Freddy

746
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 8: Peralta in a trade with the Brewers. When it comes

747
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 8: to the NFL, defensive coordinator Brian Flores assigned a contract extension.

748
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: With the Vikings.

749
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 8: If he does not receive a head coaching job this cycle,

750
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 8: he will be back as a team's defensive coordinator. And

751
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 8: the Denver Broncos just posted a graphic. Fifty one point

752
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 8: three million viewers tuned in during overtime of the Bills

753

755
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 8: it comes to the Australian Open, on the men's side,

803
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: That was what's how it went for the Net tonight.

804
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 3: The Nets stinks.

805
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 6: We got several comments on Instagram and on Twitter saying

806
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 6: this was the equivalent of playing the Jets.

807
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, yeah, well.

808
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: You got you got a play. Who's on the schedule.

809
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: You take away an end and put a Jay in

810
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: and it is really jets instead of nets. That's all.

811
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: You're right about that.

812
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 6: You take advantage of the schedule and you get all

813
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 6: those frustrations out, sure, and you go into that good

814
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 6: night celebrating the acquisitions by the nets.

815
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: See it all plays together.

816
00:37:59,239 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 10: Now.

817
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: It was just last week when we said, you know,

818
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: everybody's going crazy. Mike Tomlin resigns as Steelers head coach,

819
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: and we talked about his future and immediately, hey, it

820
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: was linked to television, maybe sitting next to Jay Glazer

821
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: on NFL on Fox next year. Him and Jay are

822
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: pretty tight, and uh yeah, but then he's gonna get

823
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: back into coaching. He'll pick where he wants to go

824
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven. And we said, you know, hang

825
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: on a second, supposing, just supposing now I'm in Chicago,

826
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: just supposing maybe Mike Tomlin's done coaching. We've seen it before.

827
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: We saw it with Bill Kauer coach Steelers for a

828
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: long time, got out of it, went to TV. We thought, well,

829
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: Bill Cowerr's gonna come out going to coach another team

830
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna coach Carolina coach here Bill Cower' is still in

831
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: the studio. Seventy five years later, he is still in

832
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: the studio. Never came back to the side that we

833
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: have seen young coaches do that walk away and not

834
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: go back. How long did it take John Gruden to

835
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: eventually make it all the way back to coaching? He

836
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: was he thought he would do, He'd do Monday Night

837
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: football for a year. He stayed for ten. Right, So

838
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: what if Mike Tomlin has done and he realized he

839
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the first guy to go and do TV.

840
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: Realize I can make a lot of money, not have

841
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: to worry about win loss record on Sunday, stay in

842
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: the game, be a big star, and we don't see

843
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: him again. That could be a possibility. Well, here's Jay

844
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: Glazer from earlier the day on Wake Up Barsool when

845
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: he was asked about Mike Tomlin and his coaching future.

846
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: And here's what Jay had to say.

847
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 11: Everybody thinks it's the greatest because, well, they don't fire

848
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 11: a head coaches. We don't fire head coaches because they've

849
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 11: been successful all those years. But the Steelers, man, they

850
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 11: have no quarterback. They have an aging defense where you

851
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 11: gonna have to move off from some guys for are stars.

852
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 11: I think you got to kind of chase things that

853
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 11: are done in the organization. I think my team really

854
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 11: really covered up a lot of things that are that

855
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 11: are done over there. They're not They don't spend like

856
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 11: other teams interesting at all. And I think the Steelers

857
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 11: they just assume, well, they just don't fire guys. Yeah,

858
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 11: they don't fire you because they've just been successful for

859
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 11: so many years. But I think there's gonna be there's

860
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 11: gonna be a little bit of a rough patch ahead

861
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 11: here where they're gonna have to start learning how to

862
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 11: really open up to spend and.

863
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 10: Do things differently.

864
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: He goes on to say, people also say, could Mike

865
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: Tomlin come out and coach again. That's not happening. Mike

866
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: T's done, all right, Mike T's done now. He didn't

867
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: make it clear whether it was for twenty twenty six

868
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: or or after that. But are you saying a guy

869
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: is done if it's just for a year. No, you're saying, hey,

870
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: he's not coaching this year and then he's gonna see

871
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: what happens. But Jay Glazer, who knows Mike Tomlin pretty well.

872
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's done hits with us where Tomlin's son

873
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: is at his house and they're hanging out right, Uh,

874
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: Mike T's done. Maybe Mike tom as we said a

875
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: week ago, Mike Tomlin is done and we're NFL insiders

876
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: here on the show. I'd been, well, Ray, you know,

877
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: I kind of like NFL Detective because I ever fell inside,

878
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: like because you know, basically what it did was I

879
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: intuitive with my own intelligence to what cauld pacity happen

880
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: and have all the evidence in later out for you

881
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: forensically and everything else, and the who was playing in

882
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: the background in my head right now NFL Detective, what

883
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: if Mike Tomlin has done because we've seen it and

884
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: here's Jay Glazer saying a week later, Mike T's done.

885
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 6: Well, I feel like an insider. I mean maybe hanging

886
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 6: out with Jay Glazer all these years is rubbed off

887
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 6: on us a little bit. You know, the powers of deduction,

888
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 6: But to some of it is you had a good

889
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 6: situation and a lot of what Jay said there is

890
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 6: what we've talked about on the show forever of they've

891
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 6: never bottomed out. He's made it work with lesser rosters

892
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 6: aging rosters and decisions that I'm sure he was part

893
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 6: of to a degree, but ultimately that's how they run

894
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 6: their operation. You know, you never say never again. Remember

895
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 6: it took twelve years before Sean Connery went back to

896
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 6: play Bond again. You talk about Gruden, I mean the

897
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 6: possibilities there, but he looked really happy and rested going

898
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 6: and watching his daughter's gymnastics meet.

899
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: It's like he d aged ten years just like that.

900
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he could be done. He could be

901
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: done for ten years. You know, he's still a young

902
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: guy in his early fifties. But Mike Tomlin could be done.

903
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: NFL Detectives we are Mike Carmon Detectives coming up next.

904
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: Got another big story out of the NFL. We got

905
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: big needs for teams that need them. Jason and Mike,

906
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show

907
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Harmon, Where boy, do we

908
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: have some sort of drama coming your way? Thanks to

909
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: Genie Buss, the Lakers and ESPN. Some would call it

910
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: a hit piece, but a but a big article today

911
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: on ESPN on the Lakers situation, basically selling the team

912
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: and the relationship with Genie Buss, and her sib leagues

913
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: and some of the siblings talked to ESPN about this story.

914
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: Genie Bus did and a couple of them didn't. But

915
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: the gist of the p was that the relationship between

916
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: Genie Buss and the siblings since doctor Buss's death was nonexistent,

917
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: Genie's making all the decisions kind of cutting out family members.

918
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: And then we get to the Lebron James part of it,

919
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: that how her relationship and her opinion of Lebron James

920
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: has really soured over the years to the point where

921
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: she got upset that Lebron got the credit for bringing

922
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers back and winning the title in twenty twenty

923
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: and the organization should have gotten more credit. Well, just

924
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: Genie Buss has to understand the players are always going

925
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: to get more credit than the organization does. No one's

926
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, what a great front office. You know

927
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: they had thirty eight points and fifteen rebounds in twelve

928
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: assists tonight. It is a really difficult thing to hear

929
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: joining us now in the hot line to talk about it.

930
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: NBA insider extraordinary Rick Buker check him out on FS

931
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: one The On the Ball Podcast and Rick this Lakers

932
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: drama just doesn't seem like it's gonna end, even though

933
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: they saw the team.

934
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 10: That is absolutely correct. Well, if look, there's always been

935
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 10: drama in Hollywood around the Lakers, and I don't know,

936
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 10: actually I think it may end now. I mean I

937
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 10: think this is the final this is the final death

938
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 10: blow because there's nobody left standing. G Buff Yeah, she's

939
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 10: the queen of dragons. I mean, she's come to the

940
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 10: fire and she took care of everybody. I will say

941
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 10: this though everything in this story, there wasn't anything really

942
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 10: new for me in this story. It was just confirmation

943
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 10: and the airing of dirty laundry out in public in

944
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 10: one collective piece. And I can't help but feel like

945
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 10: this was the opportunity for all those who have been

946
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 10: cut out to take one last shot at Jeannie on

947
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 10: the way out the door. But for my money, I

948
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 10: look at it, and I look at all of these

949
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 10: Bus siblings who were having an expectation that they were

950
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 10: going to run the Lakers somewhere down the line because

951
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 10: they inherited the team. And meanwhile, Genie Buss from the

952
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 10: very beginning, has been working at running the Lakers. She's

953
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 10: the one who's actually showing up. She's the one who

954
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 10: long before, while her dad was still alive, was was

955
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 10: working in sports management and learning the business. So the

956
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 10: idea that all these other bus siblings, and in the

957
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 10: story it talks about how like half the time you

958
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 10: couldn't get a hold of them. I'm like, Okay, you

959
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 10: want to be involved in the Lakers, you want to

960
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 10: run the show, but you won't even you're not even

961
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 10: accessible to your siblings when they're trying to reach you

962
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 10: to make decisions. And meanwhile, Genie's in the office and

963
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 10: she's running things and she's making decisions. So you know,

964
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 10: when it comes to it felt like a hit piece

965
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 10: on Jeanie. And as I look at it, Genie is

966
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 10: where she deserves to be, which is the last bus

967
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 10: standing when it comes to the Lakers and the running

968
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 10: of them.

969
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: Now, the bigger thing Rick is, Okay, you see this dysfunction,

970
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: but what her opinion apparently is of Lebron and how

971
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: you know, getting sick of Lebron and he's got too

972
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: much power and influence and wouldn't own up to the

973
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook signing and all of this is there. I mean,

974
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: just seeing a report like this this close to the

975
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: trade deadline. Is there are we moving through the scenario

976
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: where either there's a deal or a buyout at some

977
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: point for the deadline, so the Lakers can then go

978
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: make whatever trade they want to get money freed up,

979
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: because I just can't believe that Lebron's going to continue

980
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: to play for the Lakers with all this stuff happening.

981
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, look, I mean there is no trade to

982
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 10: move on. The only thing this would do would would

983
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 10: push Lebron out the door for him to say, I'm

984
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 10: you know, I want to be released, and it'd be

985
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 10: interesting to know. I don't know whether the Lakers would

986
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 10: be I would be open to that, whether they would

987
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 10: look at let's just move on. A lot of this

988
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 10: just has to do with there's there's different ways that

989
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 10: Lebron could have I think Lebron could have handled this

990
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 10: and Jeanie wouldn't feel the way that she is, and

991
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,959
Speaker 10: that is acknowledged. Like the problem here is that there's

992
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 10: no acknowledgment of anybody else the level of greed and

993
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 10: the level of desire to get all of the attention

994
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 10: and the accolades. If Lebron had said, hey, you know what,

995
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 10: I'm really appreciate that the Lakers brought me here and

996
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 10: I had the opportunity to win a championship, and the

997
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 10: governing of Genie like there's never been on either side. Well, actually, Genie,

998
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 10: I think has done a lot of acknowledgment with Lebron,

999
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 10: but Lebron has always looked at it as like, yeah,

1000
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 10: I'm the reason for everything, and I think that with

1001
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 10: Genie and the Lakers, she just wanted some credit in

1002
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 10: some way to be acknowledge And you know, a lot

1003
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 10: of this around Bronnie. I mean, this really pulls the

1004
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 10: cover on the fact that they they drafted Bronnie only

1005
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 10: only because Lebron James wanted them to draft Bronnie, and

1006
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 10: the fact that they're now having to wear this egg

1007
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 10: on their face when it is painfully clear as anybody

1008
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 10: would have anybody knew at the time of the draft,

1009
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 10: like you don't go get a kid with Bronnie's numbers

1010
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 10: who's barely played one year of basket he did basketball,

1011
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 10: did so on a losing team, coming off the bench

1012
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 10: for a losing team. That guy doesn't get drafted in

1013
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 10: the NBA, and sure as hell doesn't get a guaranteed contract.

1014
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 10: So the fact that never any none of that has

1015
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 10: ever been acknowledged by Lebron. Like, you know what, I

1016
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 10: really appreciate that the Lakers gave me an opportunity to

1017
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 10: play with my son that was always a dream, like

1018
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 10: anything like that, and I think that the feelings with

1019
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 10: Genie and the Lakers would be a little bit different.

1020
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 10: But instead, where we are now is no appreciation for

1021
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,479
Speaker 10: the fact that they drafted his son only because that's

1022
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 10: what Lebron wanted, not because it was in any way

1023
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 10: in the best interest of the team. And now they're

1024
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 10: struggling behind the scenes, and the story really didn't get

1025
00:49:55,120 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 10: into this, but they're struggling and making this transition from

1026
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 10: from Luca, I mean, from from Lebron to Luca, and

1027
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 10: Lebron has has been indifferent at times. It certainly hasn't

1028
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 10: gone out of his way to try to make this

1029
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 10: transition as smooth as it possibly could. So when I

1030
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 10: look at the big picture one, I've totally understand where

1031
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 10: Genie is kind of done with with Lebron, first of all,

1032
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 10: and Lebron can't do a whole lot for the Lakers

1033
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 10: at this point, so why not. But I also look

1034
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 10: at it and think it didn't have to be this way.

1035
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 10: If if there was just a little more communication between

1036
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 10: the buses, a little more communication between Genie uh and

1037
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 10: Lebron and Lebron's camp, then I think a lot of

1038
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 10: what we got, the enemity that we got in his story,

1039
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 10: wouldn't exist to the level that it does.

1040
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 6: That and we got the gift of the meme that

1041
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 6: will come out of you should Have Never Been Born?

1042
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, there's so much drop on.

1043
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 6: It's it's a TV show in of itself, Rick, just

1044
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 6: like the Knicks and their players only meeting and then

1045
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 6: they come up they beat the snot out of the nets. Okay,

1046
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 6: so it was fixed for a night, but they've been

1047
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 6: struggling and I've watched my guy age next to me

1048
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,240
Speaker 6: here in the studio about fifteen years.

1049
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 3: Can't it be fixed? Will it be fixed? Will Cat

1050
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 3: be on another team?

1051
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 10: Well, there's two issues here. I certainly think that they're

1052
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 10: being aggressive and trying to find a deal for Cat.

1053
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 10: And the problem that the Knicks have is that Tom

1054
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 10: Thibodeaux and the way he ran things was very simple,

1055
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 10: very direct, and everybody had a comfort level. It wasn't

1056
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 10: hard to figure out. I mean, the rotation was short.

1057
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 10: What he expected from you was clear, and Mike Brown

1058
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 10: is trying to introduce a more nuanced system that utilizes

1059
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 10: more players and that makes the roles a little more fluid,

1060
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 10: and in a big picture, I do think that that

1061
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 10: is the more effective way to go if you want

1062
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 10: to play for a championship. The bottom line still remains

1063
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 10: when you look around the NBA and where we have

1064
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 10: the bar set for the Knicks, Because I don't know

1065
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 10: if Jason remembers, but I remember, I remember that where

1066
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 10: the Knicks are right now would have been celebrated based

1067
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 10: on where they were what six, seven, eight years ago

1068
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 10: for a long stretch. So I think part of it

1069
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 10: is the bar. But the other part is, and this

1070
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 10: may sound like a so oversimplification, but it's not. You're

1071
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 10: not winning a championship with Jalen Brunson as your best player.

1072
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 10: And that's not a knock on Jalen Brunson. But the

1073
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 10: bottom line is when I look at the players that

1074
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 10: are leading championship contenders, Jake Kills, Is Alexander or Jalen Brunson,

1075
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 10: who are you taking Kay Kate Cunningham or Jalen Brunson.

1076
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 10: Who are you taking Nikola Jokic or Jalen Brunson, who

1077
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 10: are you taking? Like it's just the expectations and what

1078
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,479
Speaker 10: the Knicks are working with is it's just not a fit.

1079
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 10: And Mike Brown is trying to elevate this group to

1080
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 10: a place that Tibbs honestly never did. And I would

1081
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 10: say that tibbs approach was never going to I don't

1082
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 10: know if Mike Brown's can, but I understand that the

1083
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 10: possibility of them, say, getting to the finals is far

1084
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 10: greater playing the way that Mike Brown is asking them

1085
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 10: to play than Tom Thibodeaux. Even on a day in

1086
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 10: and day out basis during the regular season, it may

1087
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 10: feel like it's not to the same standard.

1088
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: Okay, now, will I hit my head and woke up?

1089
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: I know you didn't say any thing bad about Jalen Brunton,

1090
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 1: who now should be Coach of the Year with beating

1091
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: the nets by sixty after his player's only meeting. But

1092
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: I just got rick. I can make it even simpler

1093
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: for you. The Knicks are now going through what so

1094
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: many other teams going through. It's hard to repeat as

1095
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: a champion in the NBA. They're trying to repeat from

1096
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: from November to and it's hard, man. You gotta go

1097
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: through some stuff to get there. They're they're they're just

1098
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: learning what it's like to repeat what everybody else. That's all.

1099
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 10: Can I get a pair of those New York Nick

1100
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 10: Salvador Dolly glasses that you've got Now, now I understand

1101
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 10: Mars Blackman and those glasses and why Spike Lee has

1102
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 10: those big frames because to be able to hold the

1103
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 10: lenses and the magical vision that they provide, you need.

1104
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 10: You can't have. You can't have wire rims. You gotta

1105
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 10: you gotta have. You gotta have solid You gotta have

1106
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 10: a solid frame to be able to Man, I you

1107
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 10: just opened my you open my eyes to a whole

1108
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 10: new world. Thank you, Thank you.

1109
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: Jameson all right, lastly, like real quick, cause I know

1110
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: you're hot on this too. Look a devastating injury for

1111
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: the Warriors, Jimmy Butler out for the season, torn acl

1112
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: What now for Golden State, Well, they.

1113
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 10: Were soft boiled at the beginning of the year. Anyway,

1114
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 10: they are completely cooked now and there's no Jonathan kaminga tree.

1115
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 10: That's that's that's going to happen, that is going to

1116
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 10: resolve this. This was a team that Steve Kerr was. Uh,

1117
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 10: the fact that they had a winning record was was

1118
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:46,959
Speaker 10: extraordinary because they're just they're not very good. Draymond Green

1119
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 10: long way from what he once was. We're starting Quinton

1120
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 10: Post and we're having debates over whether Brandon Pajemski how

1121
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 10: many minutes he should get. Uh. I was in the

1122
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 10: press conference yesterday before the Raptors game in which it

1123
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 10: was said, so is the Anthony Melton, Like he's probably

1124
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 10: going to be the playmaker for the second unit. D

1125
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 10: Anthony Melton is going to be a journeyman, more of

1126
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 10: a two guard than a shoot than a point guard.

1127
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 10: Is going to be the playmaker for the second unit

1128
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 10: of the Golden State Warriors. And what are we talking about? Like?

1129
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: Why are we.

1130
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 10: Only because of the name Steph Curry? Does anybody even

1131
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 10: think that the Warriors are a threat to be a

1132
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 10: playing team and make the playoffs? And anybody who's having

1133
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 10: an expectation higher than that is wearing those same Salvador glasses,

1134
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 10: Salvador Dolli glasses when they look at the Warriors roster.

1135
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 10: I mean, let's honestly, let's look at that roster. Who

1136
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 10: is in the starting lineup? On a night in a

1137
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 10: night out base. I mean most Moody, Yeah, I know

1138
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,280
Speaker 10: where he was drafted. Moses Moody is not a starting

1139
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 10: two guard, not a starting wing on a on a

1140
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 10: title contending team. Raymond Green at this stage is a

1141
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 10: shadow of the guy that was instrumental in in winning championships.

1142
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 10: They have no side, they have no rim protection. You know,

1143
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 10: they gotta they gotta make a choice. Are we are

1144
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 10: we gonna play? I mean they literally, I don't know

1145
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 10: that they have a shot blocker on the roster. So

1146
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 10: they play Quinton Post who is a seventh footer, but

1147
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 10: he's a he's a three point shooter. He's going to

1148
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 10: space the floor. And when I watched it, watch that

1149
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 10: team and Steph Curry is not on the floor. There's

1150
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 10: not a single player on that team that can break

1151
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 10: down and get to the paint, especially now that Jimmy

1152
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 10: Butler is injured. And when Jimmy would do it, he

1153
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 10: would do it. They weren't going to double team to

1154
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 10: stop him. They just say, Jimmy, if you can go

1155
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 10: get fit, can beat us, go ahead, but we're not

1156
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 10: going to double off of you, or we're not going

1157
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 10: to dou w So I just I don't know. There's

1158
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 10: there's this illusion, and there's an illusion among Warriors fans

1159
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 10: that that, you know, because Steph Curry is there, or

1160
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 10: that they're wasting the final years of Steph Curry. Steh

1161
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 10: Curry's going about to turn thirty eight years old? What what?

1162
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 10: What final years are being wasted here? Like really, I

1163
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 10: mean he's making sixty million dollars, He's about to turn

1164
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 10: thirty eight years old. Raymond Green, Jimmy Butler, I mean,

1165
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 10: they paid those guys to maintain that core. What what what?

1166
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 10: What else are are they supposed to do at this stage?

1167
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 10: And then the dirty little secret is the numbers look good.

1168
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 10: Step can't can't deliver at the same level on consistently

1169
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 10: that he once could. He still has those magical moments.

1170
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 10: He still can hit shots where you're like, nobody else

1171
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 10: can hit that shot. But it takes a lot more

1172
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 10: than that to be a title contender, particularly when you're

1173
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 10: staring down the barrel of Oklahoma City and the Houston

1174
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 10: Rockets and the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves. I mean,

1175
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 10: let's face it, this is just a natural cycle and

1176
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 10: evolution of the game that you make your run, you

1177
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 10: pay your stars. They get older, the salary cap begins

1178
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 10: to reduce what you can do in terms of the

1179
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 10: supporting cast, and the up and comers are going to

1180
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 10: pass you by. And that's what we are seeing transpire

1181
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 10: here and step Curry at thirty eight years old, all

1182
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 10: the moves that they made in order for him to

1183
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 10: get that twenty twenty two championship and get the finals

1184
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 10: MVP and kind of check the last box necessary for him,

1185
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 10: Like what are we talking about here? Like they're not

1186
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 10: They're they're doing Steph Curry and injustice, Like Steph Curry

1187
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 10: has done everything for them. Sure, but it's not like

1188
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,479
Speaker 10: the Warriors haven't spent a ton of money and made

1189
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 10: moves galore in order to help all of that make happen.

1190
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 10: All of that happen along with Steph Curry.

1191
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: He's on exat Rick Buker Rick as always, buddy, appreciate it, man,

1192
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week. Have fun.

1193
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 10: You guys got me fired up?

1194
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack, now you're ready
