Take it Away, 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.880 Bart Scotts in studio. The podcast is underway and my 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:14.280 man is talking a mile a minute, so we gotta 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.599 catch up on something before we start talking football and 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:23.320 Jets football, specifically Tropic Thunder. I've never seen Tropic Thunder? 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.000 What do I have to know about it? And why 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.000 do I have to see it? I mean, you've cheated 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.280 yourself out of one of life great joys. I mean 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.680 you don't feel like I've let you do. Yeah, I 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.760 mean you can recover you. You have sweat equity with me, 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.000 so I'm not gonna hold this against you too bad. 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.840 But by the next time we come here, I want 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:42.239 you to watch this movie and I want you to 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:43.839 tell me what you thought, you know, because I think 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.360 it was one of the most cleverly written, you know, comedies. 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.440 And then Robert Downer Jr. Really showed a different element 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:54.400 of itself. Did Jack Blacks singing this movie at all? No? No? Um? 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.760 So he he pretty much is a his character is 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.640 he's a guy that does all like the comedy. Nobody 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.440 takes him serious. He has a series called like The 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.600 Fartman's which is basically nothing professional, but it's about a 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.000 family that farts and whatever. And then they have a 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.240 they have a guy that I don't know his name, 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.960 but he played in Um he played in the movie 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.120 with Martin Big Mama's House, and you know, he's a 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.319 pretty funny actor, but he plays a rapper. Um that's 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.640 that's that's gay, but nobody knows it's gay. And then 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.640 you have Robert Downey Jr. Who's actually a white guy 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.520 from Australia that's playing a black guy and he you know, 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.360 he's one of the most respected actors in the world, 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.720 and they actually put a black face on him in 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.039 a beard and like a Jerry curl and he's in 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.959 there right. So they're supposed to be going to war 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.160 feminist feminist movie by war played by Nick Noy, who 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.200 they're telling his story, but Nick, no, he is not 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.520 a real war vet. He he heard a story from 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.280 an old vet in the streets and pretending to wrote 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.400 a book, so he has fake hooks on it. And 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.320 then you got the guy, uh what's that? Uh that serious? 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.920 The guy with the Z that plays baseball all real 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:07.240 crazy guy that the HBO serious one he's playing. He's 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.120 also a playned that. He also plays the principal the 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:14.239 New Principal comedy on HBO, where he's assistant principal. I 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.679 know who you're talking about. He's name escaping me right now. 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.480 And man, I'm telling you, it's funny. Man. So like 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.959 they they think they're familiale movie about war, but they 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.000 dropped him off in the wrong spot, so it really 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.799 is a war zone. But they're still acting and they're 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.680 not sure if it's real or not. You know. Jack 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.400 Black is like a dope at it, and the bat 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.320 takes his cocaine and so he starts having like you know, 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.880 relapsing and like, so they had to tie him down. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.120 But what happens It has been Stiller, you know, wanted 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.079 to be the star. So he gets lost or whatever. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.080 And then man, this one has Tom Cruise in it. Yeah, 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.960 and it has he makes a cameo appearance, and it 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.000 has the other guy. Man, I can't think of his name. Uh, 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.120 he's pretty funny, like I'm telling you. And uh, Tom 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.240 Cruise is like three hundred pounds in this movie. He's 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.519 like a superhes like fun in the movie, and he's 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.120 not doing so much so they taken McBride is the 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.000 guy you were talking about who was in assistant principle. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.240 So so they so they take Ben Still a hostage 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.400 and Ben Stiller thinks it's still part of the movie, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.119 but he's not sure, so he's still acting. So then 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.200 what happens is Matthew McConaughey has actually Ben Still's agent, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:20.720 trying to get him back to make his movie, to 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.640 make his comeback right. So he he goes in, he 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:29.320 goes into time to to Tom Cruise, who's funding the 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.760 whole thing. He was like, listen, like once they took him, 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.120 they call him like yo, uh. He cuts us the 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:41.800 terrorists out like listen, you gotta make a decision, baby, Yo. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.680 The movie seal is gonna be great if they kill him, 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.120 Like we don't negotiate with Terris here, like we're ramming up. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.560 He cuts the terrace out there looking like we got 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.440 the superstar simple jack, you know. So I'm telling you 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.320 watch it, man and like, uh, Tom Crew, Tom Cruise 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.720 like rapping in this thing and he dancing and stuff. 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.120 It's the funny thing. But in the three hund of 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.920 pound suit man, So don't teach you. So all the 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.800 fans out there listening. I know you guys have seen 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.040 Tropic Thunder is one of the best comedies of this generation. 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.800 You know, just as Funny is Get Him Greek, just 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.839 as Funny is Old school Man. And you come back 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.479 and I want you to report on this movie. All right, 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.680 I will report on Tropic Thunder next week. There's no 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.440 doubt about that. The NBA season got underway. Last night, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:28.520 Charles Barkley says Clay Thompson is better than Kevin Durant 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:34.080 and Steph Curry bart Scott's thoughts. I think what he 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.320 was trying to say is that he's the best one 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.360 of the best two way all around players, which is true. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.679 I think we had to rank the the best top 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.760 five all around players. I think we will start with 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.359 Lebron that's a two way player. Then we'd probably go 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.760 with Kawhi Leonard, and then we would probably go to 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.479 Klay Thompson because we talked about his versatility last year, 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.599 being able to guard a guy like Kevin Durant, but 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.680 then also athletic enough to go out to Lillard and 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.960 all the the other guys as fast and quick guards. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.440 So I understand what Charless trying to say, and Charles 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.000 is always gonna say things that's gonna make headlines because 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.760 he has to get your attention. But he's not as 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.400 crazy as people think. You know, I think Clay Thompson 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.599 is a is a great shooter, but I think you know, 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.400 Steph gets all the glory because he handles the ball. 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.719 And Clay Thompson can average just as many points, I 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.560 believe as Curry, but he saved some of his energy 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.679 to play defense. You know, he's definitely to me a 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.720 perennial All Star. Alright, some guys from the Spurs named 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.160 Jonathan Simmons score twenty points. Who's Jonathan Simmons. I've never 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.000 heard of that name before. Let me tell you something. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.600 That's what the great organizations do. They always got one 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.440 or two guys that you never heard of. I mean, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.159 he never heard a green. He had got cut from 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.400 twelve teams before he got picked up by the Spurs. 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.440 He figured out what he did. Well. You think about uh, 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.680 Gary Neil, who used to train with me, who they 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.240 made a start winning, got paid somewhere else. And some 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.120 organizations just can develop guys and get them to buy in. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.760 And the Spurs are one of those teams. That, you know, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.320 just fine guys when when they picked quiet Lytter, people 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:09.000 look like who just because I like San Diego State 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.719 basketball because Fish went there and resurrected that program. Yeah yeah, 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.160 yeah yeah. Fisher from from from the Old Fast five. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.440 I'm saying I love how he wrote. You know, he's 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:20.800 one of the best coach. I wish he would never 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.440 would have got let go from Michigan because Michigan basketball 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.280 hasn't been the same since. But you know, you think 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.440 about you know, teams that do that, and they have 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.600 the ability to do that. So I wasn't surprised. I mean, 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.560 Patty Mills. They made Patty Mills a player. You know, 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.120 Patty Mills do made the playoffs like three years ago, 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.120 you know. So it's exciting to see this new Spurs team. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.000 How they're gonna be post Duncan era. They look younger, 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.840 they look more athletic and more versatile. And Aldrich's not 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.520 at Dunk is not around, He's not there. He looked 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.800 more certain he shot the ball. He didn't think about it. 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.520 You know, I think, you know, this is gonna be 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.719 a tough out to be interesting, what happens. The NBA 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.640 season got underway, but we talked about Barkley. You're in 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.320 this business. You're all over the place. You like you're 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.240 leaving for the city in a few moments. You do 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.159 your radio show. We watch you on Sundays. I don't, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.839 but I'm a stadium. Are you working? I'm trying to 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.400 make a buck or fifty cents compared to your Barker, 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.320 cents compared to your backer, five cents compared to your buck. 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:20.200 But anyway, Charles Barkley, UM, since you do this now professionally, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:25.720 how much do you enjoy watching him and what he's 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.280 done over the years. Charles Barkley is one of my heroes. Um, 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.560 he's always being in my heroes. And I only have 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.200 like three professional heroes. I used to have four, but 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.040 I had to disqualify one because he has some racist remarks. 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.520 You know. For me, it was Barry Sanders Wallace, Charles Barkley, 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.040 and Hawk Hogan had to disqualified called Hawk Hogan because 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.560 some of his his thoughts came out and I didn't 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.760 agree with some of his viewpoints. Uh you know, Um, 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.920 but Charles Barkley, Braschie Wallace, what do they all have 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.080 in common? What are they both have in common that 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.600 you know exactly where you stand with them, you know 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.160 their position. They're going to say what they believe, and 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.240 you know when they say it may not be correct, 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.160 but they believe it. And I can always deal with somebody, 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.440 And I try to model myself as being somebody that 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.200 you can always understand. It's going to not sugar coning things, 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.080 gonna tell you what they feel and if I'm wrong, 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.640 and if they're wrong, I feel like they apologize and 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.720 say I was wrong, I got it wrong. See what 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.160 happens in politics and society. People are so busy trying 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.960 to prove themselves right instead of just admitting that we 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.920 all make mistakes and we all, you know, can miss 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.880 the can miss the ball. So no money in our industry. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.920 I shouldn't say nobody, because there are. I feel like 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:41.959 it's the few. Now you mentioned accountability. People don't take 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.800 responsibility for their actions. How can you? How can you? 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.160 How can you be right about everything? Or you Socrates 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:52.320 like nobody's or no tamas. Nobody is correct about everything, 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.480 is probably got a lot wrong. Man is in the 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.960 room making predictions all that. So that's what I'm saying. 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.200 So like I always appreciate people. That's going to be 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.280 honest and I'm not gonna say what's popular, but what's 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.560 gonna say what's right. And that's why I was trying 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.400 to model my life about. You may not agree with 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.360 everything I say, but you know when I said, it's 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.200 not coming from a malicious place. You know, it's coming 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.200 from a place of honesty where I think it's right. 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.640 And if I'm wrong, I give you example last year. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.080 You know everybody knows. Earlier in my career, I was 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.760 very you know, I was critical of um, Ryan Fitzpatrick, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.440 Um when he was a Houston Texans, right because I 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.640 had charted him and I had spoke about you know, 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:34.920 I had it. You know I had to break him 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.480 down when when Um, when you were a player, bro, No, no, no, no, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:39.800 I had to break him down as an islands. My 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.559 first year, my first year was CBS when he was 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.160 the quarterback for the Houston Texas and you were working 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.520 for the show before the show. No, not even tops, No, 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.160 this is my first year. So this is so this 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.080 is two years ago when when Ryan was with the 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.640 Houston Texas. So I had to go do research and 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.360 it was some chart that he had like in eighty 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.839 four games he had ninety two turnovers, right, So you 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.880 I always had this thing where I should say, like 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.200 this funny thing on air, and then last year when 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.640 he came here, he had a great season, so I 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.280 had to apologize, say, listen, I was wrong. He's he 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.000 is playing different. This is a different Ryan Fitzpatrick than 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.560 what we've seen in the past. He should be commended 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.440 and I want to come and I went on air 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.319 in front of two million people and said I was wrong. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:26.040 Ryan Fitzpatrick is playing unbelievable right now, and I guess 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.680 a tiger can change the stripes. But nobody said, hey, Bart, 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.800 you know you need to apologize. I recognized that I 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.400 had it wrong, and I made amends, and that's what 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.480 I think men should do. But in politics or in life, 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.319 people are so busy, so they figured, you know you're wrong, 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.400 but you're gonna try and find something else to support 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.400 that you're right, just to try and say you're right, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.440 like why just why fight? Or you just move on 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.880 and make a new prediction or new outlange statement. People 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.880 just move on and let's say something at that point. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.920 That's why those guys are my heroes. I called it. 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.920 I call these people fire starters. Yeah, you know what 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:07.240 I'm saying. But you mentioned Barkley. Now you probably have um. 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.400 You're grounded individual for people who know you. I know, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.000 some people might look at you from Afar and say, wow, 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.160 this guy's got a big ego. You have confidence, no 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.319 doubt about it. But you're grounded individual. When you see 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.240 Barkley and you watch him and you say he was 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.439 a hero, you look up to him. But the way 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.280 you are on air, now, do you see some of 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:34.400 your self in him? I modeled myself. Yeah, because I'm 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.240 not afraid to say what needs to be said because 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.520 I'm not. I don't. I don't play it safe, right, 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.960 I don't play it safe. I don't some guys and 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.680 someone now, some some analysts stand in his box like so, 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.600 because what happens is if you stay in his box, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.640 if you ever do anything wrong, then you protected because 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.600 you never took a strong stance on anything. Alright. Reality 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.800 is for the Jets two and five. You got back 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.120 to the winning ways last week against uh, the Baltimore Ravens. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.920 We just did a film breakdown of Sheldon Richardson and 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.800 that's gonna be on Flight Plan CBS eleven thirties Sunday morning, 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.440 we took a look at three plays. You absolutely loved 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.040 what you saw. At the number ninety one, I think 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.320 he's one of the most dominant defensive players in the game. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.240 Um I think we miss it because he has to 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.800 play a position that is not his natural position. But 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.840 he's doing what's best for the team, that what's best 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.920 for itself. Because you put Sheldon Richards in that position, 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.920 he's gonna give you double digit sacks, he's gonna give 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.520 you eighty tackles, and he's gonna give you about ten 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.840 fifteen tackles for loss. And what does that give you? 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.920 That usually give you a defensive m v P type 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.000 of award. He's that type of talent. He's playing out 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.080 of position right now because that's what the team needs. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.720 They have abundance of riches inside it. He's the only 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.360 one out of the three meaning Williams or Wilkerson that 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.080 can make that transition to the outside. But make no 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.719 bones or body. He is probably the type as far 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.199 as three techniques and five techniques and defensive tackles in 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.560 the game. He's top three, maybe behind you know, maybe 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:11.800 behind UMD, Aaron Donald, maybe Geno Atkins. People can make 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.640 a case for him as as far as you know 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.760 enter and I think it's a push, you know, with 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:23.560 with Mohammed. Why is Sheldon so unique? Especially inside? He 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.839 has a motor, he has moves, he's has short area quickness, 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:35.800 and he has power, motor, effort, technique, elusiveness and stature. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.920 He's not too he's not too tall where he gives 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.360 you a lot of blocking serve. He's almost squatty. Is 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.960 that is that fair to say? And how's Aaron Donald? 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.839 How was war in sap? He's that he's that same 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.360 body tight to me? If he stayed there all his life, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.080 I would put say he would be it would he 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:56.679 has the potential to be a better player in war 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:02.200 in soap? Yeah, well that's amazing. That's amazing. I played 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.240 with great players. I know one when I see one. Yeah, 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.720 and you put him inside and you give him a 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.319 tenure run and he continues to mature. What does that 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:17.480 say though about his maturity that he says? And he 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.640 told the reporters after the game where I was in 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.560 the postgame locker him and he said, you all must 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.520 have forgot what I can do when I'm playing three 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:30.320 or five technique up front only his only defense a year. Obviously, 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.400 I'm gonna make more place. So Sheldon was kind of 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.160 like Flaby acid. But what does that say about his 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.920 maturity level that they say that the coaching staff says, hey, listen, 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.160 we need you to do this for the team, because 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.960 Shelon Shelton says okay, because the playoffs, you haven't heard 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.160 any you haven't heard him complaining about it one time. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.200 And really, when we think about the in the Grand Scammerathon, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.160 it's grant scheme of things that's hurting his money. He's 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.880 putting team before, he's putting we before me. So what 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.560 does that say about who shelling the Richards in this? 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.680 That says a lot about his character, especially for a 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.480 young guys, especially especially for a guy whose character has 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.360 been called the question. You know, you can talk about 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.880 his off the field stuff, but as a teammate, I'll 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.160 go to board with a guy like that. An he 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.480 did a week twice on Sunday, you no doubt about it, 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:19.000 And he and Brandon were asked about last week. I 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:24.040 guess in Kansas City. Apparently there was a yelling match 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.560 or something like that. But what happens like like you, 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.960 as a former player. I mean people, that doesn't mean 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.920 anything to you, right, What's what's actually surprising is that 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.040 some of that stuff gets outside, because that has to 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.080 happen all the time. Raise your hand. If you never 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.600 yelled at anybody, raise your hand. If you never from 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.120 little league or or college or the pro has never 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.320 got in a fight with one of your teammates, raise 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.280 your hand. You know, uh, and people forget, like, listen, 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.440 we're gonna disagree. It's not about the disagreement. It's about 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.200 what happens after. You know, you can have flair's who cares. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.320 It's a passionate, you know, tense environment. You know what 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.480 I mean? You know when the winning business, when the 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.640 performance businesses the performance business, and sometimes that's gonna happen. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:12.240 You're still sharpened. Still, you got alpha males, you ran hot. Absolutely, 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.520 people people when you have a lot of emotional disagreements 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.440 with your own teammates at times. So I remember, I 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.480 remember one time you talk about kenc. I remember one 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.920 time Larry Johnson ran about for the yards because me 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:28.240 and Ray was arguing before the snap. Serious absolutely listen, 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.520 because listen, I listen, you ain't gonna tell me what 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.600 I'm growing as man, and if you want to have 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.840 to discussion, you got a discussion right here. The hell 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.880 with what else is going on? That's just what happens 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.440 in the business. So yeah, absolutely, I'm not. I don't listen, 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.840 I don't back down from nobody. You know what I'm saying, 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.920 I'll bury my heels in where when I'm right and 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.000 I thought I'm right, I'm right, and I'm a fight 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.320 from my position there, nobody gonna push me on my spot. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.920 That's how I got here and that's how I stayed here. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:54.880 So you can say whatever you want, but I think 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.480 the decision I made a life got me winning, So 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.760 I'm not gonna change so from time to time that 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:03.520 had happens to them. Hell did you see Sherman, Richard 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:07.120 Sherman basically arguing with the entire the entire team, right, 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.080 what are we talking about? You and everybody would watch 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.800 Richard Sherman as a teammate because he's a great player. 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.600 He plays hard, he cares about winning. We've seen time 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.080 getting yellow matches with his coordinators. What are we talking about? 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.359 Let me tell you something. We live in an error 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.280 where we gotta find some type of news. You know, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.639 the reporters. They're trying to listen. They want bad because 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.440 that's when they can make a strong stance and come 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.080 out and look like they're dynamic. If everything is great, 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.720 nobody wants to hear about the great stuff. They want 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.840 to hear about the bass, though, so reporters secretly wish 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.160 for bass. You can think that they want you to win. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.200 They don't want you to lose so they can ask 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.639 the tough questions so that they can put their resume 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.280 up so that they can try and be the next 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.040 Adam Schef. There they can try to be the next stage. Still, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.560 everybody's trying to chase somebody because unfortunately, the reason that 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.960 we watch reality TV, the reason that we turn to 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.159 page six. We listened to the gossip tabloids because we 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.679 love to to to enjoy other people's misery because it 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.000 makes us feel better about our horrible, miserable life. But 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.399 you know what, people can't handle that, And sometimes I 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.600 could be too real. But like I said, when you 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.920 close your eyes and you and you close you eye 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.199 you think about it, you know I'm right, but you 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.639 don't have to minute to me. Um, how do you feel? 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.040 How bad do you feel for a guy? Like you know, Smith, 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.800 you've suffered injuries throughout. Really, I never missed a game 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.920 for ten years. I only decided to miss one because 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.840 the best I feel bad for him, No but that, 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.399 but for some payment. But just seeing a guy who've 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.480 seen it. I've seen it. Listen, when my opportunity came, 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.359 Thank god that was healthy enough to take advantage of 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:44.000 my opportunity. You feel bad for a guy because we 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.440 never got a big enough sample side to see if 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.720 he can do it. Uh. And then the ball is 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.879 now in Ryan Fitzpatrick's court again, that's something that he 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.560 didn't think. What's gonna happen eight days ago or ten 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.480 days ago, we come back from Arizona, Todd Bowl makes 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.800 the call, says we're gonna go to Gino try to 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.960 give our offensive spark. And it fits. At that time, 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.240 he really thought his starting career with the Jets was over. 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.439 Now he gets another opportunity. What do you think is 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.639 going through his head now as he prepares for the Browns. Well, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.800 if he struggles again, the reality is that you know 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.359 they're gonna call it back up up because you have 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.199 to take care of the ball. So you know, I 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.000 know he came out strong. In his in his and 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.160 expressed some of his thoughts and his villings. That's fine 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.720 to half, but we're in a performance based business, so 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.679 that he's going to step up and perform if he struggles. 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.720 You can't do the team at this service. You have 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.760 to put the best player in and if you're not 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.760 performing up to your level or performing up to the expectations, 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.840 no different from a linebacker who misses a bunch of 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.320 tackles one week, a kicker that misses a bunch of kicks. 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.000 Everybody's audition every week for their job. And just because 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.159 you're the quarterback doesn't mean that if you struggle that 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.639 we're supposed to stick with you and show confidence. You 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:58.520 know what is that saying to the other positions you're 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.560 devalue and everybody else. If Reba's go out there and 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.160 give up five touchdowns and a bunch of holding penalties 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.920 or buster screen struggles and give up two hundred yards 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.439
