And you know, Rob, it's funny. 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: I just got a text from Amy that said, oh 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: my god, you guys and Rob gave me the idea 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: for a great show and a great show segment. I said, 12 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: what's that goes? We do a segment, you know, you 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: do a segment where you were, you know, two people 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: are debating and co hosting, and I come in and judge, 15 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: and I judge it on what kind of argument you 16 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: make as a lawyer, And I'm going In one hour, 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: we went from Rob Parker talking about how he was 18 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: a shoe salesman in high school and now we're all 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: the way to hey, you know, Rob Parker, legal dream 20 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: like you and I. We can wear the big wigs 21 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: and we can have ballots and stuff. We could do that. 22 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Do we have to have brown teeth too if we 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: wear the wigs you know from England. I'm just saying 24 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: wooden teeth. Like George Washington I said that the best 25 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: part about wooden teeth is at least you always have 26 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: a toothpick pie, you know. But I could just see that, 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: like you know, like with the big wigs and stuff on, 28 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: we're banging the gavels when it's when it's one of 29 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: our turn to talk and say that. And it doesn't 30 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: need to always be something that's a very serious and 31 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: sobering topic about stuff. It could be just fun stuff 32 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: too would be and we're banging the gavels and we're 33 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: going back and forth. You're out of order. You're out 34 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: of order. Every time you run a cliche, a big 35 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: movie line from a from a movie, you get extra points. 36 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: Like you run a line for a few good menu, 37 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: it's worth ten points in your argument. I got to 38 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: write this down. That's an idea that sounds like like 39 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: an idea, and I do want to say in the 40 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: third hour of the Dan Patrick Show, I wrote a 41 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: column for dead Spin, and hopefully we'll get to it 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: and talk about it a little bit. Tom Brady's son 43 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: is a ball boy for the Bucks. And guess who 44 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: doesn't think it's the greatest idea in the world. Yours truly, 45 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: Jason Smith. So we will talk about that as well. Okay, 46 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: just just give me a teaser here on this before 47 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: we get to Lebron. Why why does it matter if 48 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's kid is a ball boy or not. One 49 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: of the biggest problems in the NFL is nepotism. And 50 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: while you'll look at this and not think it's the 51 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: biggest deal in the world, this is how Todd Haley 52 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: became a NFL head coach without ever playing football pass 53 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: the youth level because his dad had power and was 54 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: in the league. And that's the problem nepotism. So it's 55 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: not so much about Brady's kid, but this is where 56 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: nepotism grows in that league. And we'll talk about it 57 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: in the final hour. Wow, Rob Parker doesn't deep stuff, 58 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: So anti Tom Brady, I don't even want his kid 59 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: having a job in the NFL. When you hear Jason, 60 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: when you get when you get a chance to skim 61 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: through that and you read some of the details about 62 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: the nepotism, and this is why the league is seventy 63 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: five percent black, and is so hard for black people 64 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: to get jobs in that league because they hire their 65 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: family and friends more so than people who are qualified, 66 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: who've played the game. And it's a serious topic, it 67 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: really is. So we'll get to that in a third hour. 68 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: All right, very good, And remember Tom Brady's son. His 69 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: name is John Edward Thomas, Jay Jackie, well Jack, but 70 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: it's John, it doesn't matter. But his initials are Jet. 71 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: So this might be a deal where the Patriots won 72 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: all the Super Bowls. But eventually the Jets get the 73 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: rights to his oldest daughter, oldest son, so here come 74 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: play for the Jets. B the quarterback soon. So he's thirteen. 75 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: He got another eight years to go before we get 76 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's kid playing. I'm feeling pretty good about that now. 77 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: Someone who's not feeling good is Lebron James. There was 78 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: a big poll that went out from ESPN earlier this 79 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: offseason and they talked to ten different NBA scouts and 80 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: executives and said, hey, who do you think the best 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: player is in the NBA. Of those ten, zero voted 82 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: for Lebron James. Rob Parker was not asked to be 83 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: part of this poll. Zero of them voted for Lebron James. 84 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: The five votes were split evenly between Janis and KD 85 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: no votes for Lebron. Who saw this story get reported, 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: he puts out on social media, thank you, as if 87 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: I didn't need more to gas me up, hashtag washed King. 88 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: So this is another instance of Lebron going, Okay, you 89 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: didn't like Russell Westbrook coming, you didn't like this, you know, 90 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: it's all fuel for us. We're ready to go. Oh 91 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: now this this is more fuel for me. And now 92 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: Lebron is going to use this to motivate him during 93 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: the season. I don't know who's got to break this 94 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: to Lebrons. As great as he still is, Robin doing 95 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: things at thirty six and still being a dominant type player, 96 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: reinventing himself as the main ball handler for the Lakers, 97 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: winning a championship there. I mean, it's amazing what he's accomplished. 98 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: But I don't know that there's anybody that walks around 99 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,559 Speaker 1: and still thinks Lebron is the best player in the league, 100 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: or he's even still in the top two or the 101 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: top three of the league, no doubt about it. And 102 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: for him to be all worked up and get his 103 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: panties in a bunch. Oh, I can't believe they didn't 104 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: say I'm the great dude. This is year nineteen. Hello, Jason, 105 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: is this microphone or Lebron has been hurt two of 106 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: the last three years? In la Am I am I lying? 107 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: Am I making that up? He's been three years. Guess 108 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: what year he wasn't hurt? Excuse me? The year they 109 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: had four months off because of the pandemic. That was 110 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: a year he didn't get hurt. How in the world 111 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: can he sit there and not think that k D, 112 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: who if he wore size fourteen instead of a seventeen, 113 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: would have eliminated the Bucks in the playoffs? Remember with 114 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: that ill faded three that would have won the game 115 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: instead of send it into overtime. And uh, you know, 116 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: Yannis just won an NBA Finals and got over his bugaboo, 117 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: hitting seventeen out of nineteen free throws to close it 118 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: to close out the championship. So no, he's not the 119 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: best player. Those two guys clearly are better, and I 120 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,119 Speaker 1: can understand why people voted for either one. I would 121 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: take KD because to me, Jason, it would come down 122 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: to if you need a basket at the end, Who 123 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: would you feel more comfortable getting it? KD or Jannis. 124 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm going with KD. Yeah, KD would get k D 125 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: would get you, and he's click. Look, these guys are 126 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: both honestly, and this is the interesting part about this 127 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: topic is that both of these guys and other guys 128 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: I would take ahead of Lebron, are all basically Lebron 129 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: at different phases of his career. Right like Yannis right now, 130 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: he's Heat Lebron, right like, he's Lebron, like he came 131 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: because Jannis is really Lebron light Like, here's a guy 132 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: that came in all kinds of physical talent. He's in 133 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: a smaller market. Can he put it all together? Can 134 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: you get all the right ingredients around him? And you 135 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: had enough right ingredients in a year in which look, 136 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: every star player got hurt, so there is a you know, 137 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: got to take that with a grain of salt. But 138 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: here's Yannis, who hey, he finally breaks through, just like 139 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: Lebron broke through when he won the title with the Heat, 140 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: and KD is like post Calves Lebron, where Okay, I've 141 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: done everything and now I can go do whatever I 142 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: want to do. The rest of my career. Right, I 143 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: want I was, I was the best player in the 144 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: league for a while. I finally went. I validated myself 145 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: by winning titles. I won, was in three finals, I 146 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: won twice. I was the Finals MVP, and both of them. 147 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Now I can go do what I want to. He 148 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: goes to the nets. I'm now the best Olympic player 149 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: in basketball history after leading the team to the gold 150 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: medal a couple of weeks ago. So it's like they're 151 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: both in certain Lebron type parts of their career where 152 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: Yannis is heat Lebron Kate he is postcast Lebron. But 153 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: the bottom line is, both of these guys and I'll 154 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: give you some other guys in a couple of minutes, 155 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: are both just more dynamic than Lebron is now. Right, 156 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: Like Lebron is still a still a fantastic player, Right, 157 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: he's still one of the top players in the league, 158 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: But he's not a guy that's gonna go forty seventeen 159 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: and twelve anymore like he used to do in his peak, 160 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: like we've seen KD do, and like Janis does on 161 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: an almost regular basis. Right, Whenever it came down to 162 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: all right, well, we know Lebron could just take this 163 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: game over and on a night where it's not going 164 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: well for his team, or it's a playoff night where 165 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: you know the bench isn't coming through and the other 166 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: starters are missing, it's one of the Okay, this is 167 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: where I gotta go forty fifteen and twelve. He doesn't 168 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: do that anymore. He just can't. And with the Lakers, 169 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: what are you seeing now? They bring him in to win. Okay, 170 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: Lebron coming in wasn't enough. Let's add one of the 171 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: best players in the league in a D So Anthony 172 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: Davis comes in, they win a title. Last year, they're 173 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: both heard it doesn't work. What happens now, let's add 174 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: another big time, strong ball dominant player in Russell Westbrook. 175 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: So the more you can't say all Lebron is still great, 176 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: but it's the more great players that they keep having 177 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: to add to Lebron. Now. So, I mean, I get 178 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: that he's using this as motivation, but this is something 179 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: that seems like it's it's pretty evident to everybody. Yeah, 180 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm with you, and the Lakers know it. And when 181 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: you sign up for Lebron, you know you're gonna gut 182 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: your team and do whatever you can to try to 183 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: win because his window keeps closing. But Lebron every time 184 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: he makes these proclamations and like he pushes back on 185 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: on NBA America and you'll pay for this, and uh, 186 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: this will be my motivate. He didn't win. We've we've 187 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: heard these before, you know, Uh, you know the Miami 188 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four not remember that it 189 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: didn't happen. A couple of years ago when he came 190 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: back up from his injury with the Lakers and and 191 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: he had all the young guys and he's like, hey, 192 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: playoff molde activated you remember that? And then they lost 193 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: to like the Bulls and the Knicks and all these 194 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: bad teams and didn't make the playoffs. So I've seen 195 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: this act by Lebron and it doesn't always work. Most 196 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: of the time it doesn't work. And he didn't have to. 197 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: Why does he even have to feel compelled to do that? 198 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: Go out and play? So what if other people don't 199 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: like your roster? Go out and play and make it happen. 200 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: And if you do, then you could say, hey, you 201 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: were wrong. But if not, I don't think you'll bring 202 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: it up and go, hey, you know what, when you 203 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: guys said that this team was old and that Russell 204 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: Westbrook doesn't fit and whatever, you were right. Have you 205 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: ever heard that's the we ever heard a player do that. Never. 206 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: The only time they say something is when it works 207 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: out in their favor. But I've never yet heard a 208 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: player go, you know what, you were right that the 209 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: team we put together in Miami, we didn't win seven 210 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: championships in the role like I thought. We already won 211 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: two out of four and if it wasn't for Ray 212 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: Allen saving our bacon and one of those, we would 213 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: have been one in three. Yeah, but still that was 214 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: a success. I mean, you know that was the show 215 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: that was your n't really that was the three finals 216 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: and one two. That's That's not about going Jason, how 217 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: getting the Playboy Mansion or stand out front? Which one 218 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: are you doing? Okay? I got in four times and 219 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 1: I had a great time twice. I take that. That's guy, 220 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: that's your I'm trying to get in. I mean that 221 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: it's Marv Levy, the greatest NFL coach. You went to 222 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl four years in a row. Is that 223 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: Marv Levy was a success in Buffalo going to the 224 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Yes, no, Yes, that's a success going to Theo's. 225 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: Not losing four super Bowls in a row is dubious. 226 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: That ain't success. Okay, but people am going to four 227 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: people in Buffalo. But but but the but the Heat 228 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: won twice. How is that not a success? You go, 229 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: they had easily? How did they lose to a Dallas 230 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: team with one star? Go look at the also rans 231 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: that were on that team. They should have been Dallas, 232 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: you know they should have and they should Look should 233 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: they have one more? Yeah? But I can't sit back 234 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: and say a team that won two out of four finals, 235 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: as in what world is that a failure for anybody 236 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: and goes in nor finals in any sport and wins two. 237 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: If the Patriots go to four straight Super Bowls under 238 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: Cam Newton right now, right, you like camp for the 239 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: starting job. If they go to four straight Super Bowls 240 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: and win two, is that a failure? No? Because it 241 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: wasn't the assembly that Lebron put together a super team 242 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: of three players drafted in the same draft and demolished 243 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference and had it all set up for him. 244 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: When he was on that stage, Jason talking about not two, 245 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: not three. He meant it. They really believed they were 246 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: gonna win all these championships because they had stacked the 247 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: deck in his favor. Everybody knows that. And it didn't 248 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: turn out. He didn't do anything special winning three in 249 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: a row like Shack and Kobe and a couple other 250 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: teams that would have put them in special air. Winning 251 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: two out of four did not separate them from the pack. 252 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying for the standards that were set 253 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: and the players assembled, it was a failure. It didn't 254 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: work to be what people thought it would be. All right, then, 255 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: how is how do you how do you hate Tom Brady? 256 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: Then the guy's got seven tom Brady? How do you 257 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: how do you say he's got seven rings? All he's 258 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: done is win. Okay, he's lost twice, but he's won 259 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: seven out of that, seven out of ten? How is 260 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: that of? How is that? Then? I mean? Tom Brady 261 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: is Tom Brady is the most accomplished quarterback in the NFL. 262 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: My point is he hasn't won. They give him credit 263 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: as if he's won every Super Bowl and it's all 264 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: about him. You know, the early Super Bowls were about 265 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: defense and about Adam VENETI and and yes, as he 266 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: played well in spots when they beat the Rams a 267 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,599 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Tom Brady didn't throw any touchdowns 268 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: in that in that game. So let's not make it 269 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: like tom Brady's the reason that they always win. He's 270 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: been on the team and he's been a big contributor, 271 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: but he's not the only reason. When that deepen shut 272 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: down the Saint Louis Rams, the greatest show on turf 273 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: and held him the thirteen points or whatever it was 274 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl that was unbelievable, Or when the 275 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: defense shut out the Falcons, who up twenty eight to three, 276 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: shut him out in the second half. Those are things 277 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: that changed the Super Bowl, That's all I'm saying. And 278 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: he lost Eli Manning twice. How could you be to 279 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: go to Eli beat you twice. He's got four Super 280 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: Bowl MVPs. He was the MVP in four of those games. 281 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: Four times he was I mean, how does he go 282 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: from If it's all the Patriots, he leaves them, they 283 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: go under five hundred. The new team he goes to 284 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl? Was that defense unbelievable? Did you 285 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: watch tom Brady in the second half of the Green 286 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: Bay Packers game. It was it was rough, Yes, okay, 287 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: talking about one defense held Patrick Mahomes to zero points 288 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl. You canna tell me it's all 289 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady. But if I'm asking you, if he's 290 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: the common ingredient in all these wins, how can you 291 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: not give him the credit for being that great. I'm 292 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: not saying he doesn't deserve some credit. Not all credit, 293 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying, Jason, not all the credit. All right, 294 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: let me bring it back to a super team then, Okay, 295 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: So if it's if, if it's about a team, the 296 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: Dodgers won the World Series a year ago, right, Okay, 297 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: let's just say now that because they're the team that 298 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: that's assembled, they're assembled to win. They get all the players, 299 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: they make the trade for Trade Turner, they make the 300 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: big deal for him, him and Max Cherzer. If the 301 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: Dodgers go to the next four World Series and they 302 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: win two out of four, is that a failure? No, 303 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,479 Speaker 1: because they hadn't one in thirty years. No, Lebron situation 304 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: is totally different. The Dodgers hadn't won one since the 305 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. So now if they were to win 306 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: and I don't look at it as a failure. But 307 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not going to sit here and glorify 308 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: what the Miami Heat did when they were supposed to win. 309 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: They had the team Lebron went to eight straight NBA finals. 310 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: That you think that going is enough and not winning 311 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: to Lebron, James has lost more NBA Finals than any 312 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: other former regular season MVP in the history of the NBA. 313 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to hang my hat on that. But 314 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: he's won four. I mean, he's not Marv Levy, you know, 315 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: the guy. If the guy didn't win, I'd say, okay, 316 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, the guy gets there. But there's got 317 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: to be something as a reason why he can't win. 318 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: But if you go more, say you lose more times 319 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: than he won, that's okay, But he still won four. 320 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm not no one's saying he's not a great player, Jason. 321 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: I don't want you to think I'm saying that he's 322 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: won four championships. Obviously he's he's ranked for me, the 323 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: second greatest player. He has a lot of numbers. It's 324 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: hard to deny he could wind up being the all 325 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: time leady scored. There's a lot of things that he did. 326 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: But when I look at some of the greats, to 327 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: me and I look at Goats, I look at Michael Jordans, 328 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: I look at Joe Montana, those guys, to me, resonate 329 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: more when you talk about excellence in the big moments. 330 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: So the going to a finals is very little value 331 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: for you. If either you're going you win and getting 332 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: there doesn't matter. No, because you can if you tell 333 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: me going there ten years in a row and not 334 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: winning doesn't do anything for me. Okay about winning, I 335 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: wish they were talking about but all these guys have won. No, 336 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: but Marv Levy's a Hall of Fame coach, and you're 337 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: telling me that that was a success in Buffalo. I 338 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: don't know how losing four in a row. Forget about 339 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: going four times in a forty year career, but losing 340 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: four in a row as a success, I don't see 341 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: it that way.

Rob and I on completely opposite sides 365 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: of what it means to be successful in sports.

And you know what, I'm the lawyer, 369 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm Perry Mason, and you're Hamilton Burger. So I've been 370 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: beating you like a draw. Hamilton Burger. Everybody's got a 371 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: google that who's Hamilton Burger? Could you give me? Could 372 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: you give me another reference that's maybe from this century? Kid? 373 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: Could you at least give me a few good men? 374 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: You know, I'm Tom Cruise, You're Kevin Bacon. Right, that's 375 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: how that's how it is. You lost. You went all 376 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: in on jess up Jet supported the code red. So 377 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: now you lose. I mean, at least give me something 378 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: from the last couple of years. I can't. Come on, 379 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: that's a great name, is it not? Hamilton Burger? Come on, Burger. 380 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: Hamilton Burger is a great name. Hamilton Burger. Let's see, uh, 381 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: Hamilton Burger. Every picture of him is from black and 382 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: white video on Perry Mason. That's every picture of Hamilton Burger. 383 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: So we got Albert Brier coming up in a couple minutes, 384 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: and he's got some big stuff NFL wise, making a 385 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: lot of headlines with one name in particular that could 386 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: succeed Bill Belichick as the head coach in New England, 387 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: but more immediate. Last night, we saw the Patriots. Both 388 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks play well. Cam Newton played well, Mac Jones played well. 389 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: They beat the Eagles thirty five nothing. And you know 390 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: we've talked about Cam. We're gonna talk about Cam with 391 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: Albert Breer. But boy, I'll tell you what Rob coming 392 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: off that last game last night with the Eagles, and 393 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts missed the game with a stomach ailment. You know, look, 394 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: when you first hear an illness and you're missing a game, 395 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: you think covid. No, it was a stomach ailment for him. 396 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: He's going to be away from the team for a 397 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: couple of days and then he'll be back at practice. 398 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: So things look to be good for him. But I 399 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: know it's the preseason, and I know they didn't play 400 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: a lot of their starters. But boy, this Eagles team, 401 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, watching them play and seeing where they're at, 402 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts may wind up having, you know, a pretty 403 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: good year statistically. But if you're talking about a team 404 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: that could compete for the number one overall pick in 405 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: the draft with the Texans, it's the Eagles. Man. I mean, 406 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: look again, I get it. It's the preseason, but they 407 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of talent. They seem to not 408 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: even know what kind of direction they want to go 409 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: in there there, you know, they want to be in 410 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: it for Deshaun Watson. It becomes available. So if I'm saying, Okay, 411 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: who's going to battle it out for that number one 412 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: pick in the draft? Yeah, the Texans clearly because they're 413 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: they're starting over. And I put the Eagles up there too. Yeah, 414 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like it's gonna be bad. Uh. 415 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: That division is why if the Cowboys don't win the division, 416 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: McCarthy can't stick around and down. I mean, it's it's 417 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: on the platter. I know Daks banged up, but look 418 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 1: at the division and what's there and Philadelphia. I just 419 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: don't know what to expect. I don't expect good things. 420 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: I think they're still they're they like Jalen Hurts, I 421 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: know that, but I'm not so sure that they're totally 422 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: sold Jason or you. I mean, I think if they 423 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: could get to Shaun Watson or somebody else, they would 424 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: make a move. Yeah. And it's weird because when when 425 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: he was in when he's in the lineup last year, 426 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: for those three ish games. He put a lot of 427 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: points on the board. He put a lot of offense 428 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: on the board, and I feel like they they're really like, hey, 429 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna make him earn it this year. And it's like, 430 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: the guy played pretty well and you put them in 431 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: an impossible situation. You bench them at the end of 432 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: the regular last regular season game, remember that, because they 433 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,719 Speaker 1: wanted to improve their draft position next year. So we're 434 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: gonna take them out of a game that we can win. 435 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: It would affect the playoff. Jason and I just don't 436 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: get all the things they're making them earn it this 437 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: year with the Eagles, And it's really really weird because 438 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know why they're not behind the 439 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: guy because you're drafted them for this reason. You draft 440 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: them in the st spot opens up, right, you get 441 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: rid of Carson Wentz, and they don't seem to be 442 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: all in like they should be. There's something there, and 443 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, people watch guys in practice, and you know, 444 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL that's how you get your jobs right. 445 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: You got to be able to practice. People need to 446 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: see what you can do. And there's something that's missing. 447 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: There's gotta be because they should be all in and 448 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it. Yeah, any other team in 449 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: the NFL, if you had a guy that you took 450 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: in the second round, right, you kick your your your 451 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: starting quarterback who got you most of the way to 452 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: a super Bowl to the curb and I get it. 453 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was on a down was on a downward tick, 454 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: and he needed to be able to get to a 455 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: new destination. But this is why you drafted him, right, 456 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: You draft as soon as they draft, like we had. 457 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: We had Jordan Love and Jalen Hurts drafted bang bang, 458 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: and it was okay, hey Jordan. They wanted they want 459 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: to get rid of Aaron Rodgers, so they drafted Jordan Love. 460 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: At some point, it's going to be his gig. They 461 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: drafted Jalen Hurts. Somehow it's gonna be his gig. And yeah, 462 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: you had a coaching change. But still it's not like 463 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: when he went in the game last year, he was 464 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, you know what I mean. He played in 465 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: games like well, like I ran for seventy five yards 466 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: in a game, still through for a couple hundred yards 467 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: and some scores. I really I don't get it with 468 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: him joining us now on the hotline for more on 469 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. Senior NFL reporter lead content strategists from Monday 470 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: morning Quarterback, it's Albert Brier. You can fall him on 471 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: Twitter at Albert Brier. Good morning, Albert. How's it going. 472 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: What's happened morning? Guys? How are you doing? And we're 473 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: fighting already, So it's a good day. We were fighting 474 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: over hopefully hopefully I hopefully I can instigate some more 475 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: of that. We were fighting over. Which of your tweets 476 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: we like the most? That's I mean, there's a lot. 477 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of contenders, so I don't blame you, guys. 478 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: How's your training camp tours going? It's good. I mean 479 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: it's pretty much it's close to over now. I mean 480 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: I I, um, you know, trying to get to as 481 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: many teams. I can't really like. The value in it 482 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: for me is just seeing people. Um, you know, so 483 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: I've gotten through twenty one teams. I'll see a few 484 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: more next week. UM yeah, but for the most part, 485 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: it's over and it's been good. Um it's been good, 486 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: you know. I I uh, it's always good to get 487 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: out there and kind of um get I think the 488 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: temperature for the league, and UM, lots of our interesting 489 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: conversations and um, you know, planning it is actually an enormous, 490 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: enormous pain and the logistics of it. UM, I've become 491 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: like an expert on you know, making those puzzle pieces 492 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: fit together. But it's definitely worth it in the end 493 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: to help me out. In New England, I think Cam 494 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: should start. If he's not starting, why would he even 495 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: be on that team? And I think Matt Jones's day 496 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: will come. But I think with all the moves the 497 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: Patriots made a lot of guys those four or five 498 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: starters were missing from COVID last year, they still won 499 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: seven games. I would start Cam, see if this team 500 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: has any legs, if he has anything left, and then 501 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: if not, you make that move. I don't see it 502 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: the other way. How do you see it? Albert? Yeah? 503 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: I think there are two pieces of like nuance here 504 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: that you know, I think a lot of people are missing. 505 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: The first thing is first round quarterbacks normally go to 506 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: bad teams more often than not for obvious reasons. This 507 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: year that's not really the case all you know, if 508 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, the Jaguars and the Jets are rebuilding 509 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: and they'll be going with their guys from the start. 510 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 1: But you know, if you look at the other three teams, 511 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: the Bears, the Niners, and the Patriots, all three of 512 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: those teams have been in the playoffs recently. Two of 513 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: those three teams have been in the Super Bowl recently, 514 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: and so the dynamics a little different in those three 515 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: response because of that. I mean, I think the other 516 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: thing that you sort of have to pay attention to, 517 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: notwithstanding what happened in Miami last year, Normally, if you 518 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: put your first round quarterback on the field, that's it. 519 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: You're not going back, you know, And so I think 520 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: that that's an important piece of nuance to set this 521 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: up too, and that I think Cam they can switch 522 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: to Mac if they start with Mac, you know, I 523 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: think chances already you got to ride it out all 524 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 1: the ups and downs that you might have to go 525 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: through the rookie quarterback. So that's why I think you're 526 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: probably right, Rob, that they give it a shot with 527 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: Cam and see what it looks like. Cam, to his credit, 528 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: looked better last night. You know, I thought his presence 529 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: in the pocket was much improved. And I don't know 530 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: what happened over the last week, but it looked a 531 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: lot better. You know. I think the real question with 532 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: Cam is going to be what he's got left as 533 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: a runner. And I think it's a real question because 534 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: nobody's played the position the way he's played it for 535 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: as long as he's played it, and his body's taken 536 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: a lot of abuse, and so the Patriots aren't going 537 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: to put him out there and have him running around 538 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: in the preseason. So my guess is we don't get 539 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: answers on it until we get to the regular season. 540 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: But if he can be the runner or something close 541 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: to the runner that he was in Carolina, and I 542 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: think it's a real question whether or not he can 543 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: do that, you know, then I think you're talking about 544 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: a guy who can juice an already really good running 545 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: game and looks like he's, you know, better as a 546 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: passer than he was last year, and you give that 547 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: a shot, like you said, and if it doesn't work, 548 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: then I think you've got a young quarterback in mac 549 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: who I've at least given a few weeks to kind 550 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: of adjust the offense a little bit and adjust the 551 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: NFL a little bit more, And there's lots of a 552 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: chance that you're going to go through in that scenario 553 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: an elongated bumpy period. So I look at the whole 554 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: thing and I just think, you know, for all three 555 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: of the teams that have you know that that took 556 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks after the first two, there's a likelihood that they 557 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: start the season with the veteran, knowing that the escape 558 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: hatch of going to the rookie is going to be 559 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: there for that, all right, Albert Elsewhere in New England, 560 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: you know a lot of headlines made this week you 561 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: talked about some potential successors to Bill Belichick in New 562 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: England and you had the name Bill O'Brien come up, 563 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: and it was, oh my goodness, Bill O'Brien. He would 564 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: get there and trade everybody. When you look at what's 565 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: next for the Patriots, like, how feasible would it be 566 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: for Bill O'Brien. Would he be at the top of 567 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: the list? Take us through that a bit. Yeah, Well, 568 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: I mean here's what I would say. I start here, 569 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: I don't think Bill Belichick is going anywhere for a while, 570 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: Like so, I think it's going to be a few 571 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: years before this is a serious question that we have 572 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: to answer. Here's the other thing. It would Bill O'Brian 573 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: be a bigger reclamation project now than Bill Belichick wasn't 574 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: two thousand. I mean, it's easy to forget, like what 575 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's reputation was coming out of Cleveland, and even 576 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, as he started to rebuild his stock and 577 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: an assistant with the Patriots and then the Jets, there 578 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: were questions, you know, is he really a head coach? 579 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: You know, ken he manage an entire team. Everybody knew 580 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: he was a great defensive coach, but there were a 581 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: lot of questions about that, you know, And so you know, 582 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: I think what that the decision to hire him in 583 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: two thousand came down to with Patriots ownership having real 584 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,479 Speaker 1: faith that he was the right guy. And I know 585 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: they think very highly of Phil O'Brien. I think Bill 586 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: O'Brian's really smart. Bill O'Brian one with some mediocre quarterbacks 587 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: before they got to Shaun Watson, you know, and then 588 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: helped develop Deshaun Watson. And you know, I think if 589 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: you look at a tracker or just as a coach 590 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: and like, let's take the other part out of it, 591 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: just as I think he's been pretty good and now 592 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna go coach for Nick Saban in Alabama. So 593 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, I just look at like the different pieces here, 594 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: and yeah, he made some really questionable personnel decisions. There's 595 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: no defending that if you just look at him as 596 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: a coach in a vacuum, like his track record is 597 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: a lot better than a lot of other people, including 598 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: you know what, I think Bill Belichick's track record was 599 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 1: back into thousands. So the idea he could reservices an 600 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: NFL coach, NFL head coach, it isn't crazy to me 601 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: at all. And I do think that there are still 602 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: people in New England who've worked with him who I 603 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: believe them. Hey, Albert, I want to ask you about 604 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: Sean McVay because he has loaded up the Matthew Stafford 605 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: basket and just ranted and raved he's the Messiah and 606 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: they better go to a super Bowl. Jason, we're talking 607 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: about failure. I mean the talk about Matthew Stafford and 608 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: what Sean has done. Has he put a lot of 609 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: pressure on Stafford because anything less then going to a 610 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl will not get it done for the Rams 611 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: because he's been made out to be the missing piece. 612 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: This is a guy who's played twelve years and I 613 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: watched Matthew Stafford from day one, as you know in 614 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: Detroit for a long time. But who hasn't won a 615 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: playoff game or division in twelve years in the NFL? 616 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: Is this are we going to find out about Matthew 617 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: Stafford and about Sean McVay. I mean there's pressure everybody there, 618 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: don't you think, you know? I mean, like I I 619 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: look at the I look at the roster and kind 620 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: of where they're at. Um, they don't have first round 621 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: picks for the next two years. Um. And if you 622 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: look at the core, um, the guys who've sort of 623 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: made up the top level of that roster, you know, 624 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: it's Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Cooper Cup, Robert Woods, Andrew Whitworth, 625 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. All of those guys are either right in 626 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: the heart of the prime of their careers or on 627 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: the back end, right. So you look at that, Yeah, 628 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: it's to the fact, you know, their salary cabin in 629 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: a win now sort of way, and they've sold off 630 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: some of their future draft picks to make this roster 631 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: what it is. You know, I think that pressure on 632 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: everyone in that building, and Stafford is part of that, 633 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: you know. So it's a team that's kind of invested 634 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: very much in the here and the now. That doesn't 635 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: mean they don't have a prep plan for tomorrow, but 636 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: they're very, very invest in the here and now. And 637 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, Sean as much as 638 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: anything else, is very cognizant the psychology of his team, 639 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: and you know, I think he's preparing them for what's coming. 640 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: And what's coming is there's very pressure on you'd win 641 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: and you know, for the first time in a while, 642 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: like that franchise, like they may be in the spot 643 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: that you know, like say like a New England or 644 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or one of those one of those sorts of 645 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: teams has been in for a long time, is you 646 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: lose a couple of games in a row and the 647 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: sky's falling, you know. So I think one of the 648 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: reasons why Sean's you know, talking the way he is 649 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: an addition to be really really confident in the group, 650 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: I think is to prepare them for what's ahead. And 651 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: what's ahead for them is a lot of pressure on 652 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: them to win right now based on the construct of 653 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: their of their of their roster. Albert Brier with us 654 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: here on The Dan Patrick Show. Jason Smith Rob Parker 655 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: in for Dan today, Albert, I know you were just 656 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: at Bucks camp. Did you see the Antonio Brown situation, 657 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: the helmet yankee and the punch? I actually, unfortunately as 658 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: uh I like camp fights. I'm not like the coaches 659 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: pulling it. I have. I have a great time out 660 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: there watching those. Uh So, unfortunately I was. I actually 661 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: was there the wrong day. I think that's no Thursday, 662 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: and I was there on Wednesday, So I just missed 663 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,239 Speaker 1: it by a day. All right, Well, with all the 664 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: fall out of it, you guys, you guys are in 665 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: the media too. Everybody loves a good camp fight, right Oh, sure, absolutely, 666 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: you know it breaks up and when when's that first camp? Okay, 667 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: now we could talk about it. Uh you know, seeing 668 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: what you were able to glean there, you know, as 669 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: far as Antonio Brown went fight, notwithstanding you said, he 670 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: looks like he's really hitting his stride and playing well. 671 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: And the Patriots maybe not one of those teams where, hey, 672 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: they got to the top of the mountain. This year, 673 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: they're coming down. You think maybe they got another gear 674 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: in them for this season. Yeah, and I know that 675 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: they feel like, you know, there's a lot of things 676 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: that came together at the end of the last year 677 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: that might have another step in them, you know what 678 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Like, um, you know, the way the pieces 679 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: on the offensive line came together, the way the um 680 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,479 Speaker 1: you know, they had a lot of new pieces last 681 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: year they had they were you know, playing some young 682 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: guys and key spots and um, you know, I think 683 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: having gone through the experience of last year for them 684 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: and seeing where at the end of November, you know, 685 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: and that was a team like we were all asking 686 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: questions about them before they really took off, and so, 687 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think rightfully so like they look at 688 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: it and say to themselves, we were just kind of 689 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 1: hitting our stride when we got the role and won 690 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And you know, if you look around 691 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: at the roster and the ages of the guys in 692 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: the roster, and they're older guys too, you know, you 693 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: got to monitor that. But you know, I think that 694 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: they feel like their older guys can maintain and their 695 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 1: older guys can maintain there are a group of young 696 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: players that really could help kind of that group find 697 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: another gear. And so it was really interesting washing and 698 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: then talking to them about the way, you know, and 699 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: it's not just Brady, but like JPP on defense, the 700 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: way guys that are there that have won championships are 701 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: kind of regulating that place right now and making sure 702 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: that no one gets complacent. And I mean the way 703 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: that the veteran players have like kind of their foot 704 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 1: on the throat of the young players can make sure 705 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 1: nothing slips. It's a really really impressive operation right now. 706 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: And again, like you know, we're only going to get 707 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 1: to see it for another two or three years because 708 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: of the age of some of the guys on the roster. 709 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: But I mean, for right now, I mean, it looks 710 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: like a machine, you know, and I just yeah, go ahead, 711 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: but I just can't. When there was seven and five 712 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: and they got it going, we're bad teams that they played. 713 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: I mean, go look at the end of the season 714 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: when they got right and then they got into play Austin. 715 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: Things worked out for him and they won. I'm not 716 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: going to take that away, but they beat the lines 717 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: a couple of times Atlanta. I mean at the end 718 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: when Tom Brady put up go look at who they 719 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: beat the last five games, and I wasn't impressive. I 720 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: understand that. I understand that, but you only play who 721 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: you're playing, and they felt like they were starting to 722 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: play really well and like what you see in the 723 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: look look who they beat in the playoffs in Washington, 724 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: Tom Brady through three three interceptions at Green Bay of 725 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: Drew Brees through three interceptions for our let's go on 726 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: and on and on, ready to crown them. That was 727 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: a really good Packers team. And Brady didn't play perfect 728 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: in that Packers game. And I think Brady threw a 729 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: couple interceptions of his own and they were able to 730 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 1: overcome that. You know, all right, we need another time, 731 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: Albert to me and you can go at it. We 732 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: don't have time. I gotta get you on the odd couple. 733 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Rob, I got some homos for you. 734 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: Look at the roster and fine, whether there's a fine 735 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: where there's a hole for me on that roster, fine, 736 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: fine where there's like a problem on that roof. They 737 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: got a good team, but they also beat the Chiefs, 738 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 1: who had a decimated offensive line. I'm everything worked for them, 739 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: that's all is bad. I don't like the water boy. 740 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: They didn't just beat the Chiefs, they crushed the Chiefs. 741 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean that was like, like that's the thing about it, 742 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: Like and the offensive line things ballad. I mean, like 743 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: that was the Chiefs offensive line being what it was, 744 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: not having their tackles for the Super Bowl's a major deal. 745 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: Any team would suffer from that, that said, I mean 746 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: they kicked the Chiefs and the teeth like that was 747 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: like a beat down, like the level of I mean 748 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: like when I was growing up, like all the Super 749 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: Bowls were bad games, right, Like like that was like 750 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: a late eighties, early nineties like NFC on AFC style, 751 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: like just beat down.

Not all tom Brady, 785 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: don't say that, come on column. Not all in doesn't 786 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: mean I hate the guy all right. But one thing is, 787 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 1: and clearly this is on the I didn't see coming. 788 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: I was wrong about this. I thought we'd be talking 789 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: about Aaron Boone being fired by this point and the 790 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: Yankees completely going all in on twenty twenty two. But 791 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: they won their seventh straight game last night. They're in 792 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: the number one wild card position. They're five games out 793 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: of first place. This Yankee team, we thought the evil 794 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: Empire was dead, but you know what they decided to 795 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,919 Speaker 1: say blank that they go get a couple of big 796 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: power hitters that can you know, get it up in 797 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: the jet stream and use that short porch about that 798 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: getting a couple left end of hitters Jason at Yankee Stadium, 799 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: which was a colossal mistake by Brian Cashman. I mean, 800 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,280 Speaker 1: how did they not have any left handed hitters really 801 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: in that lineup? Yeah, you went through it where you 802 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: said Mark Taschera it stayed an incredible but hitter because 803 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 1: he could he could use that short porch and right field. 804 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, it is a big failure. But look, it's hard. 805 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: When you have all these guys come up. You think 806 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: they're all gonna be stars, right like Aaron Judge is 807 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: a star, Torres as a star, the Glandu har is 808 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: a star. Oh they're all stars. Then it turns out, 809 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: oh no, maybe they're not all stars. But they make 810 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: these two moves and now suddenly here they are. Like 811 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: I say, okay, can they slug their way to the 812 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: World Series Because once you get in the playoffs, starting 813 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: pitching is not as big a deal because you have 814 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: guys that go three to four innings, and then the 815 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: Yankees bullpen can take over and suddenly the Yankees are 816 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: a huge threat. Now literally, there's stuff when I say 817 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I thought this is gonna be 818 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: the Yankees are gonna be terrible. It's not a World 819 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: Series team. And look how good they are eighteen games 820 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: over five hundred. Now, no, I agree. I didn't see 821 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: this coming. They seem to be dead on a rival 822 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 1: like it had just gotten to the point where they 823 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: couldn't score. And now we've seen them in high gear. 824 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: Even think about this Jason, as good as they've played. 825 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: And that heartbreaking loss, you know, in the Field of 826 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: Dreams game in Iowa, right, and that didn't even I 827 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 1: mean that was a heartbreaker, wasn't it. And it didn't 828 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 1: derail them. They are really good. They went to Chicago 829 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: after that and still beat up on the White Sox 830 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: and they're rolling. Uh and and I don't know, I 831 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: don't know as first place out of reach, I'm not 832 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,439 Speaker 1: I'm not positive that first places even out of reach 833 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: because they made up about ten games on the Red 834 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: Sox in two or three weeks, which is like incredible, 835 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: and the Red Sox will going the other way. I 836 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: don't think the Red Sox is gonna make the playoffs. 837 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: Oh and this is this is something. Look we've seen this. 838 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: It goes this fast, right, the Mets gave away a 839 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: six game league. Now they're out by five. It's and 840 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 1: then taking the playoffs days, right, No, it's taking fifteen days. 841 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: And suddenly now that they're catching up on the Rays. 842 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: And luckily the Rays have had kind of a hot 843 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 1: streak or the Yankees would have overtaken them. But I 844 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: mean the Yankee they're a huge threat. Now you look 845 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: at these teams in the American League. Hey, who are 846 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: you worried about? Yeah, the White Sox are great, but 847 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,879 Speaker 1: the Yankees are just about as good. Now. I mean really, 848 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: it's like it's gone from Boy, they're circling the drain too. 849 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: Now it's like, I expect the Yankees I don't even 850 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But if they're not at least in 851 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: the ALCS, something's wrong. This is the whey they match 852 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 1: the baseball Now. No, I agree with you. That lineup 853 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: is very potent, and if they get any kind of pitching. 854 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: We know what their bullpen is. They can get five 855 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: innings out of their starter and then go and put 856 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: together the bullpen inning by inning, they have a shot. 857 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: I'm with you. The Yankees fortunes have totally turned around. 858 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: Twitter at how about a Fresca rob at Rob Parker 859 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 1: FS one coming up next, Rob Parker's hatred of Tom 860 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 1: Brady goes to a new level.
