1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: What is up straight Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: Fire for Wednesday, January twenty ninth. You know, it's weird.

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: For about the last four months we've been talking NFL, NFL,

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: NFL and now we're down to one game left and

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, we can't do NFL podcasts every day,

7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: just can't. Now we do have some NFL news we'll

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: talk about here shortly, of course, because well there's some

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: good stuff. We're going to focus on this big NBA

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: potential trade that does not involve Jimmy Butler. But I

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: just want to get something out of the way real

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: quick first. I think I mentioned to you guys last

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: sometime last year, was going to start creating and it

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: was awesome for lifting, and I was feeling jacked, and

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: it's a great feeling. You definitely loft more. You can

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: feel it, and you know people would definitely it's noticeable

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: because you know, you gain weight. Could you drink more water?

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 2: But it's muscle and you look cut. But I gotta say, man,

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: this is the second time I find myself having to

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: wean off of it simply because you're going too hard

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: lifting and then the muscle strains and now I got

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: like this rotator cuff. It just it sucks. Now. Plus

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,919
Speaker 2: I'm getting old, which stinks, and I want to do everything.

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: I e.

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: Played basketball as much as humanly possible, and it's just

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: it's tough. But uh, that's life. I know you guys

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: don't really care about that, and you're like, hey, give

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: me more bets. What do you got on college basketball?

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't done much on college basketball this week,

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: still looking my wounds from the damn Chiefs beating the Bills.

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: But nevertheless, I want to start with this Darren Fox

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: story that's emerging out of Sacramento. Now, the NBA is

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: has like a political whiff to it, okay, in that

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff is planted and you've got to

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: kind of see through the initial news and wonder, hm,

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: where did this come from? Why all that stuff? You've

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: got to think about it. So, according to ESPN, Darn

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: Fox and the Kings look to be headed for a breakup.

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: Now here's the interesting part. In no explicit terms, does

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: it say Darn Fox is demanding a trade, right, which

41
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: sounds logical because hey, they just fired as coach Mike Brown.

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: I had a great relationship, regardless of what everybody thinks happened.

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: At the end, Brown and Fox were tight. And I

44
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: know this season wasn't going great. But the replacement, Doug Christi,

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: everybody knows him, Rick Fox's best friend. That's an inside

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: joke for NBA fans. Doug Christy has taken over. They've

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: gone what are they eleven and four since? So they're

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: ahead of the Warriors in the West. So you know,

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 2: like it's worked out fine. Here's where it gets interesting.

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: Fox is a free agent after the twenty twenty sixth season.

51
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: According to all this stuff, well not this stuff, the

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: reports and the timing of this league is interesting, right,

53
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: So d'aron Fox is set to hit the trade market.

54
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: The Kings are going to be fielding offers. What's the

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: real story. Why the hell would you trade your best player?

56
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,279
Speaker 2: You just fired your coach. You've been in the playoffs,

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the last two years, right. Yeah, they

58
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: lost a tough one to the Warriors in that seven

59
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 2: game series. They probably should have won. And I'm spacing

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: on who let me quickly look it up who they

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: lost to last year in the playoff. But trading your

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: best player, Dearon Fox an all NBA player, Okay, not

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: just any player. I mean he's third team All NBA.

64
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: He's let's look at his numbers here. He is twenty

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: five six and five, shoots forty six percent from the field,

66
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: only thirty two percent from deep. But he is one

67
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: of the best guys at steels. He's not an elite

68
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: defensive player, but he's very good with the quickness. And

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense why all of a sudden you

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: would try to run off Dearreon Fox. Now the argument,

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: the counter argument is, oh wait, Jason, you're wrong. The

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: Kings missed the playoffs last year. They lost to the

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: Warriors in seven, and the last time they made the

74
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: playoffs before that was two thousand and seven. So it's

75
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: been a minute, okay, And it's like, okay, Fox is

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: so great, why is he only gotten into the playoff once? Jay,

77
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: while he's twenty seven years old. We're talking about a

78
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: historically inept I'm talking a historically inept franchise in Sacramento.

79
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: The ownership is a joke. I know, the guy's made

80
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: a lot of money and he's an interesting individual. I

81
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: read an article in the New Yorker about him many

82
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: many years ago, and you know he's an outside the

83
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: box thinker, but as an NBA owner, he stinks. And

84
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: you run off Mike Brown, which I didn't agree with.

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: They weren't playing great, but whatever, and now you want

86
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: to trade Dearon Fox. So something's not adding up here

87
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: for me. And this is where it led me to, oh,

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: is it possible that Dearon Fox is such a nice guy.

89
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: He's already telling the Kings, hey, guys, I want out.

90
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: I'm not going to force the hand, because you know

91
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: that doesn't always end well for everyone, I e. The franchises.

92
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: It's not a great look. Dearon Fox has a good brand,

93
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: He's beloved in Sacramento, so maybe this is his way.

94
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: My guess is Dearon Fox is saying, guys, I don't

95
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: really see a future here. I don't see a path

96
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: to success where I can win a title, and I

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: would like you to try to trade me before I

98
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: come a free agent because I'm probably not going to

99
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: resign here. Okay, that's my guess as to what went down.

100
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: So the Kings know as soon as somebody demands a trade,

101
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: the clock ticks on how much his his value is

102
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: going to go down, right, because these aren't the old

103
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: days of the NBA where Hey, he wants a trade

104
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: and he's going to go somewhere. This is Hey, here's

105
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: my list. I want to go one of these places.

106
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how the NBA has been for like

107
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: the last ten fifteen years. Paul George calling is sh

108
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: everybody says where they want to go? Okay, So instantly

109
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: the speculation is, oh, Dearon Fox wants to play in

110
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: Sacramento in San Antonio with Wembin Yama. And you're like, oh, okay,

111
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: are we supposed to buy that? Are they friends?

112
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Don't?

113
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. You see a lot of well, the

114
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets are interested guys. Why on earth would Aaron

115
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: Fox want to go from the Sacramento Kings to the

116
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets. Just think about that. You want to have

117
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: success and win. Why the hell would you go to

118
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets? Ah? Why are the Nets being mentioned?

119
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: Oh?

120
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: I've got it. So I looked up how many draft

121
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: picks the Nets half? So they've got four first rounders

122
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 2: in this draft. Okay, they have their own in twenty

123
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 2: twenty six, and they have the Knicks in twenty seven,

124
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: and they have Phillies in twenty seven, and they've got

125
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: multiple plenty of second round picks going forward after in

126
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: the next like three years. So why are the Nets

127
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: being mentioned? Well, Sacramento knows, Hey, if san Antonio wants

128
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: to dearon fix, you guys got to pony up because

129
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: guess what, We've got a quote unquote suitor in the

130
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets who are interested and the Nets. Fox is

131
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: not gonna want to go to the Nets. He's not

132
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: gonna want to sign an extension. There, are you kidding me? Now,

133
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: There's no way you would do that. It's suicidal, you know,

134
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: going from one losing franchise to another. Give me a break,

135
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: no way. So all of this stuff is being is

136
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: happening behind the scenes. My read on it is Daron

137
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: Fox has told the Kings, I'm not signing back here.

138
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a good soldier. I'm not gonna be

139
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler. You're not gonna have to suspend me multiple times.

140
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna be signing here long term. So

141
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: you know, try to find a suitable trade partner. But

142
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: it's not just hey, let's send him somewhere it's I

143
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: want to go and play in certain places. And that's

144
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: when it gets really interesting because Sham's over at ESPN,

145
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: who is, you know, trying to be the new WOJE

146
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: and kind of taking his spot as the insider. Schams

147
00:07:54,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: has had this. He says that Fox has a target

148
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 2: destination in mind ahead of twenty twenty six. Another one

149
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: they know, and that's the Kings and Fox's people. The

150
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: second you say Dearon Fox wants to go to the Lakers,

151
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: he hasn't said that. I don't think he will. It

152
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: instantly becomes okay, he's only going to the Lakers. You know,

153
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: everybody else you're screwed, and the Lakers aren't gonna pay

154
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: a lot because he wants to go there, and it's

155
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: just an ugly scenario all around. I don't know that

156
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: there's a solution to this other than keeper superstars happy

157
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: and win games and build around them. And frankly, the

158
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: Kings have had Dearon Fox. Now, Uh, this is his one, two, three,

159
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: four or five, six, seven, eight year in the league,

160
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: and folks, they've won zero playoff series with him, So

161
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: maybe I'm not correct in the Dearon Fox is a

162
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: stud I know he was thirt team All NBA in

163
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. That was the year he finished eleventh

164
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: in MVP voting. And you know Fox, I'm of the

165
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: belief that you can win a lot with dearon Fox.

166
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: I do believe he is a very very good player

167
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: and elait point god card. I don't know where i'd

168
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: rank him among point guards in the league. But think

169
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: about this, Chris Paul is having a nice little year

170
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: in San Antonio with Wemby. But Chris Paul doesn't have

171
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: much left. Is there a world where they vision Chris

172
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: Paul as like a placeholder and coming up next? You've

173
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 2: got take a guess, Daron Fox joining forces with Wemby,

174
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: That to me makes sense. But who else? Are there

175
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: any other sleepers? So I was poking around looking at

176
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: the standings, looking at teams. Daron Fox, of course is

177
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: from wait for it, Texas, not San Antonio, but Katie Texas,

178
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: which is kind of in the Houston area. So naturally

179
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: the Houston Texas, Houston Texas, Houston Rockets are getting mentioned.

180
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: But guess what, the Rockets are actually good. The Rockets

181
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: are third, I think, yeah, they're still third in the West.

182
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: They've got a point guard in Fred van Vliet, but

183
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: remember he had signed that I'm sorry, the Rockets are

184
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: second in the West. The Van Vliet had signed that

185
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: kind of not team friendly deal, but it didn't lock

186
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: the Rockets into some long term deal. And I don't know,

187
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: is there a world where Dearon Fox ends up in Houston?

188
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: But if you're Houston, you know, and they have a

189
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: lot of pieces. You know, they got this young kid

190
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 2: I'm and Thompson who's been filling in for uh and

191
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: looking amazing. Uh. He has been everywhere. I think they've

192
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: got some movable pieces. And Brooks you can easily get

193
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: off Dylan Brooks, who got an altercation with Trey Young

194
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: last night. Shngoon is very good. Jalen Green has kind

195
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: of popped this year. But you know what I mean,

196
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: if if they said, hey, we're interested in Jalen Green,

197
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: you know, I think it would it would be in

198
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: a heartbeat, right, the Rockets would move off of him.

199
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: You got young guys like Cam Whitmore's very good. I

200
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: like Tarry Easton, and you put Dearon Fox in that package.

201
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: I think they got something. Guys. It just feels to

202
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: me like there is a lot of talent on this

203
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 2: Houston Rockets team that could be shipped Reed Shepherd will see.

204
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he hasn't done much yet, but the guy's

205
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: very talented, and all of a sudden, it's like, oh, well,

206
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: you know, maybe Houston's a landing spot, and you get

207
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: a bidding war started for Dearon Fox. I uh, I'm

208
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: a big fan of this guy's work. And I remember

209
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: a twenty seventeen draft. I know you guys do too.

210
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: That was one of the craziest top of the drafts

211
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: you will ever see. Markel Fultz went first to the Sixers. Yes,

212
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: that's true, Markel Fulton first. Lonzo Ball ended up going

213
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: second to you guessed at the Lakers. Jason Tatum went third,

214
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: Josh Jackson went fourth. Josh Jackson's been out of the league.

215
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: He was awesome in Kansas. Dearon Fox went fifth, Jonathan

216
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: Isaac sixth. He can't really stay healthy. Lori markn in seventh.

217
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just a bonkers draft. Donovan Mitchell

218
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: went thirteenth, Beam Outebayo fourteenth. Like it was one of

219
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: those wacky drafts where there's some huge whiffs up top

220
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: and Ball got hurt. Yeah, that's that's true. But ultimately,

221
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: like the markl folks pick, I mean, Philly was locked

222
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: in on him. Can you imagine Jason Tatum and Philly

223
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: and Fox going fifth? Just stunning stuff in that twenty

224
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: seventeen draft. My guess is, dearon Fox.

225
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: Huh.

226
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if you'll be traded by the deadline.

227
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: My gut tells me this is more of an off

228
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: season situation when teams can see, hey, you know, like

229
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: what if OKC falls short of the of the finals,

230
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: you know, or the Rockets lose in the first round,

231
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, do these teams that were kind

232
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: of super close and thought they were there say, you

233
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: know what, maybe we need one more guy now. I

234
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: don't know if Fox fits with SGA in the back court.

235
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know, okay, see, like what

236
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: do they need? Do they need a point guard? I

237
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, hell, you could look at teams

238
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: like in the Eastern Conference there are some kind of

239
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: underwhelming teams. If you have a seventy six ers, but

240
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: who were they're partying? They're not giving up Paul George.

241
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: The Knicks don't need him, you know, the Milwaukee Bucks

242
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 2: are mildly intriguing, but they have zero pieces to give

243
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: up for him. So the Deer and Fox situation, to

244
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: me is more interesting than Jimmy Butler, because Jimmy Butler's

245
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: just I don't like how he's handling it. You guys know,

246
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: I'm a huge Butler fan. I just don't like the

247
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: way this is going down. It's ugly. He's been suspended again.

248
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: It's just it seems like there's no end in sight,

249
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: and Miami's actually starting to play a little better without him.

250
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: They're up to sixth in the East. Yeah, once again

251
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: the NBA, So we're looking at who in the offseason

252
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 2: could be moved Butler Fox. I won't add Steph Curry

253
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: to that list, but I continue to think that that

254
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: Steph Curry if this putrid play from the Warriors keeps up,

255
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: I don't see a world where Steph Curry's on the

256
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: Warriors much all. Like, just get him to a good team.

257
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: We need to make that happen.

Speaker 2: All right, let me do a couple of minutes here

263
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: on the NFL. We'll start with some news and listen,

264
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go after this guy, but I

265
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: do need some to just clear up some stuff he

266
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: put online. We'll do that at the end. But first

267
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: of all, interestingly, Mike McCarthy has decided to focus on

268
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six hiring cycle and we'll not coach

269
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: this season, sources tell the NFL network. And then they

270
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: know McCarthy's made the playoffs twelve of eighteen years and

271
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: he's expected to be a strong candidate a year from now. Now,

272
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: that to me is very telling that you know what

273
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: that says is the Saints want Kellen Moore. They don't

274
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: want Mike McCarthy, which is fine. I don't know what

275
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: they're personally seeing in Kellen Moore. I get that everybody

276
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: gets a chance, Hey man, everybody wants a crack at

277
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: being a head coach. And you know, Kellen Moore, I'm

278
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: gonna quickly look at his resume because there was a

279
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: moment where Kellen Moore was a super hot name as

280
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: a coach. First of all, he was an incredible quarterback

281
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: at Boise State. I was a huge fan I thought

282
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: he could be I thought he could be a decent pro.

283
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: And then he was on the Lions and the Cowboys.

284
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: So he was the Cowboys offensive coordinator for a couple

285
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: of good years, and then it sounds like maybe he

286
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: was too much of a threat to McCarthy and he

287
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: got run off. So he lands with the Chargers and

288
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: everybody was all excited, Oh Kellen Moore and Herbert all

289
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: this is great, and Kellen Moore was not very good.

290
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: So then he goes to the Eagles. He's been there

291
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: one season. He essentially got the keys to a really, really,

292
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: really nice sports car. Okay, I have not seen anything

293
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: dramatically impressive from Kellen Moore this season. They are a

294
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: heavy run team. The second they don't have Aj Brown,

295
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: they get destroyed by Tampa. We know pretty much for

296
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: sure that Nick Sirianni was on the hot seat for

297
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: half the season. Okay, and we're looking at a really

298
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: ugly scenario where he's getting credit that he doesn't deserve.

299
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: And I say that's ugly because now he's gonna be

300
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: a head coach of the Saints. And I don't want

301
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: to say it's like fool's gold or anything, but I mean,

302
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: if we're being honest, guys, what is Kellen Moore done

303
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: special with the Philadelphia Eagles this season? I have not

304
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: seen it. I don't see dynamic stuff, and I feel

305
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: bad because we all want a shot, right, everybody. This

306
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: is the most popular question I get anytime I you know,

307
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: I'm talking to friends or whatever. Dude jays, so, what's next?

308
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: Do you want your own show? Everybody asked me that, well,

309
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: do you want your own show? What do you want? Like?

310
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: What's next? After the hurt? And it's funny because obviously

311
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: I think about this stuff and I have plenty of times.

312
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: I've talked about it with the wife, and you know, like,

313
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: what do you want? Could I go to another network

314
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: and get a show? Could I convince Fox? Hey, you

315
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: guys make a show for me? You know whatever, Like

316
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: it's it's the next logical step or question for me

317
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: that a lot of people have asked. And part of

318
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 2: me also looks at it as well, you know, you

319
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: can't just get a show, right, You got to get

320
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: the right show because most sports shows, let's be real,

321
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: most of the new ones fail. It's very difficult to

322
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: just come out of nowhere. And boom pop is extremely difficult.

323
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 2: The shows that have popped historically have involved guys who

324
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: have been in sports media for a long time and

325
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: have like a built in audience because you've been on

326
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: radio and TV or whatever for fifteen twenty thirty years. Okay,

327
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: So taking all that into account, enter Kellen Moore, who's

328
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: been obviously wanting You know, he's still on the young

329
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: ish side, thirty six years old, but he wants clearly

330
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: to be a head coach, as would anyone. You know,

331
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: we all want to be head coach. And I just

332
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: I see this Saints job opening up, and I'm like, Okay,

333
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: he's going to the Saints. They've gotten Derek Carr, who

334
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: said he's not taking any pay cuts. You've got a

335
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: offensive machine that includes Olave who's been concussed a bunch,

336
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: Kamara who's got a lot of tread on his tires.

337
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: And.

338
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: Like, offensive line's not great, defense is fading. Sure, the

339
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: division stinks, but can you The real question is can

340
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: you win in New Orleans if you're Kellen Moore? And

341
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: that's the same question I ask myself about I'm getting

342
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: a show. Can it succeed? Obviously I think I can

343
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: make it successful, But I'm also like a reasonable human being.

344
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: You have to have the right people around you. You got

345
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: to have the right time slot, you have the right network,

346
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: the right executives backing you. It's not as easy as like, hey,

347
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 2: your show has a chance. A lot of factors at play,

348
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: just like this Helen Moore situation. And I feel pretty

349
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: confident right now guy saying Kellen Moore is not gonna

350
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 2: work in New Orleans. And I think McCarthy was actually

351
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: pretty wise to avoid this. I think he kind of

352
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: dodged a bullet. Now this is where it gets interesting.

353
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: I just did a list of where could McCarthy go

354
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 2: next year for this robust market. So I have long

355
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: shot jobs that could be open, and don't get mad,

356
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: but number one is Buffalo. If McDermott somehow flops, they

357
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: lose in the first round, whatever, maybe there's a scenario

358
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: where Buffalo becomes open. Unlikely, but maybe. And the other

359
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: one is Detroit. We have seen and I know everybody

360
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 2: loves Dame Campbell, but he loses both coordinators, and we

361
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: have seen plenty, trust me, plenty of coaches lose both

362
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: coordinators and instantly there is a massive drop off. And

363
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: I look at this situation in uh Detroit, and I say,

364
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: oh boy, well they lost a brutal one to the

365
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, and I mean brutal two years ago,

366
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: and then they lose to Washington. You know there's gonna

367
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: be pullback. They they're not winning. You know, they're not

368
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: going fourteen and three or whatever. That's just not happening. Guys,

369
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: what if they win ten games and they'll lose in

370
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: the first round, like I doubt Campbell would get run off.

371
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 2: But there's a world where it's like, maybe we move

372
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 2: on because there's a great candidate out there. I don't

373
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: know if McCarthy's that great of a candidate. And then

374
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: the more likely jobs that I think could be open

375
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: are Miami, which you know McDaniel. I like McDaniel, but

376
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what the future holds in Miami. Things

377
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: do not look great for McDaniel in Miami. They just

378
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of guys healthy. Tyreek Hill wants out.

379
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: We'll see. I have the Cincinnati Bengals. If Zach Taylor

380
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: somehow screws up again, you got to figure he's toast.

381
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: Keeps losing coordinators or getting them fired. Cleveland Brown's job

382
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: could be open. We'll see what happens with Stefanski and

383
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: Shadoor Cam or whoever their quarterback is. New York Giants

384
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: don't know if they'll get a quarterback that one will

385
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: be fascinating. But Day bolls on his last legs there

386
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: for sure. They've got to win this season. You've got

387
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay with Bulls. There was some scuttle but about

388
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: Bulls this offseason, it didn't happen. And then Arizona. But

389
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how good of a job that is,

390
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 2: so like, is McCarthy clamoring for any of those jobs? Like,

391
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't see it. Like now, the quarterbacks there are decent, obviously,

392
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow's phenomenal, but you know, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray

393
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 2: to a tongue by Loa. I don't know, guys, it

394
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: just doesn't seem like there's anything out there that's just like,

395
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, gotta have it, got to have it.

396
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 2: And so I guess in closing, my thoughts would be

397
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: I think McCarthy dodged a bullet here, and I think

398
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore is gonna end up diving on the grenade

399
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: because he's so excited to be a head coach and

400
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 2: it's not going to go well.

401

Speaker 1: to listen live.

405
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: I will close with something I saw had ten million

406
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: views online and I'm stunned by it. So, you guys

407
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: know next gen stats. We talk about it all the time.

408
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: And of course the final play the Buffalo Bills had

409
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: where Allen missed k Kincaid missed the Josh Allen pass

410
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 2: over the middle and dropped it. One of these writers was,

411
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 2: I followed this guy, but I didn't. I don't know

412
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 2: his history or anything. He just occasionally has decent content.

413
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: So this gentleman named Benjamin Solac apparently was at the

414
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: Ringer and now he's at ESPN, and he at the

415
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: end of the game pulled up the next gen stats,

416
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: you know those dots where they show like where players

417
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: are going, and he wrote, no idea why Josh did

418
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: not throw the orbit to Shakir. That was the play

419
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 2: where the similar Ohio State play where Jeremiah Smith came

420
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: into the backfield and then it was a fake. And

421
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: then he went straight out and easy touchdown in the

422
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: National Championship against utter Day bit play, he wrote, They've

423
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: called that exact route against the Chiefs on fourth down

424
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: before got to go to ten here and everybody on

425
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 2: planet Earth jumped down this guy's throat, like you clearly

426
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: have never played sports to watch dots and say, oh

427
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: my gosh, how did you not make this? First of all,

428
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: it was an amazing blitz by Spagnolo coming off the

429
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: edge was the all pro McDuffie, and they did not

430
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: block it well the bills, and yes, Shakir was opened.

431
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: But and again this is coming from somebody who plays

432
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: a lot of sports, Like it's super bang bang, it's

433
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 2: incredibly put boom boom, Like this stuff happens so quick.

434
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 2: And when you see those two free runners basically come

435
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: in untouched, Alan was not thinking, let me throw across

436
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 2: my body when I can't really see the other half

437
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: of the field to Shakir. Now he was open. But

438
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: the idea that you no idea why you didn't throw

439
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: it to him, It just it came off a little clunky.

440
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: I saw tons of players piling on this guy, and

441
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: this is one of the problems, Like I don't know

442
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: Ben Solack. Maybe he was a quarterback or cornerback somewhere.

443
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but it does strike me as

444
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: odd that you've got all these young guys in the

445
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: media who are just looking at the numbers, which is fine.

446
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: Numbers for gambling is huge. But what I it's the

447
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: criticism of the guys who are actually playing sports in

448
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: the arena when you're looking at dots on a screen

449
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: and like, that's just that's really not how sports are done. Guys. Again,

450
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: I've never played it down a football in my life

451
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 2: outside of backyard football, but this idea that it like

452
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,719
Speaker 2: Josh Allen could have made that play. Yes, I understand

453
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: he's paid forty five million dollars now, Dalton Kincaid's also

454
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: paid handsomely. He's got to catch that. Mark Andrews is

455
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: paid handsomely. He's got to catch that. Like the It

456
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: just it struck me as a little tone deaf that

457
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: he would put that out there, and players all around

458
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: the league replied, like, bro that you just have no clue,

459
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: And I felt a little bad for the guy. I

460
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: don't know if he's been on social media since he

461
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: was besieged, understandably, so like that play was not on

462
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: Josh Allen under any circumstances. It just wasn't. And the

463
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: idea that we're looking at dots and being like, how

464
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 2: did you miss that open? Guy? Go play pick up

465
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 2: basketball and tell me how easy it is to hit

466
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: a wide open mid ring shot. Go play soccer and

467
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: tell me how easy it is. Oh, he meant that

468
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 2: was a perfect cross. How do you not finish that?

469
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: Sports are tough, guys, And I'm not making excuses for

470
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: Alan or Shakir or anybody, but it is very, very

471
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: difficult to play sports, and at the high level these

472
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: guys are at man and I've watched that play probably

473
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: two dozen times, and it's a killer. The kinkid drop

474
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: part of it is to me, way, way way bigger

475
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: of a story than Shakir being opened and not getting

476
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: the pass. So I don't know, I just wanted to

477
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: put that out there. I'm sure you guys will hate

478
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: that breakdown, and I'm like flexing because what I do

479
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: play sports and this guy clearly hasn't. Whatever. I just

480
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: I found it interesting and I thought i'd wrap with that.

481
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: All right, have a good one back tomorrow. See you then,
