Speaker 1: Show with my best friend Mike Harmon, and yeah, it

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: is that kind of night tonight. For over forty years,

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: tyro Rex's been helping customers find the right tires or how,

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free back

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: by Free Road, has a protection with convenient installation options

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation. Tire Act dot Com is the

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be. So here's where we are

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: right now, Game five of the Western Conference Finals ye

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder Minnesota Timberwolves. If you were to add

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: the spread for live game betting right now, it would

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: be a tie However, we don't do that, so instead

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: it is a sixty seven to thirty two lead for

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: the Thunder over the Timberwolves. The Thunder lead by more

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: points than the.

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: T Wolves have.

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: That's where we're at right now. Eleven minutes ago in

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: the third.

30
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: Quarter, the Timberwolves have three more turnovers than they have

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: made field goals.

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, none of this is good for Minnesota. I mean,

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards came out aggressively. None of this is good.

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Yes, he missed a lot of shots, and he missed

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot of shots, and Jaden McDaniels he's seeing three rims.

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: I usually say shoot for the middle one. I don't

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: think that it's been a good strategy. That's not been

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: a winning structure. But Edwards at least is going out

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: swinging right. I think it was ninety nine percent of

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: all bets this afternoon. We're on him to hit his

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: over of twenty six and a half points, and he

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: may get there. It's gonna take some work, as he

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: has nine yeah nine at the halftime live live line

44
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: was plus thirty one.

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's here's the thing like this game you

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: can talk about, you know, teams that Quinton come out

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: and all this. This is one of those games where

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: you could tell from the jump Minnesota is mentally done right, like,

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: but the game is on the schedule, so we have

50
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: to show up and play, because that's kind of what

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: it's been. One team has been sharp smelling that we

52
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: can go to the NBA Finals, the other one playing

53
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: on the road, not nearly desperate enough.

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: And this is this is what happened.

55
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: This is why sometimes I go, BOYD, do we really

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: need that fourth game when a team goes up, Like

57
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: if a team goes up three to one and they're

58
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: going home, like that could be the end of that

59
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: should be it. You know, if it's three to one

60
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: going on the okay, you never know. A team comes

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: back and they play, then you force a game six, okay,

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: but three to one, a team going home up three

63
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: to one, you could just end the series right there.

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: Well, here here's the funny thing, right is I'm in

65
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: the car and I'm driving here to the Fox Sports

66
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: radio studios and you know, sitting in traffic on the

67
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: four h five and game starts. First possession for the

68
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: t Wolves misshot, couple of offensive rebound rebounds, and it

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: gets back out to Julius Randall who hits a three

70
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: point shot.

71
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, here we go, here we go.

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: All right, you got a three point shot, Julius Randall activated.

73
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: That was it. That was the That was the high

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: point of the half.

75
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: Now when he finishes three of seven, Uh, he had

76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: four turnovers and he's sitting at a next robus minus

77
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: thirty one right now, but ineffective, uh and invisible in

78
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: virtually every possession thereafter. Like that was your high point,

79
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: because then they got boat raced and all of a sudden.

80
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: It was a double digit lead. Just like that.

81
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: You finished the first quarter down twenty six to nine,

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: and I started looking at the baseball slate, Well, the

83
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: Dodgers already played. They lost bullpen implosion. We were going

84
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: back and forth on that s Socks Mets games over

85
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: like all these day games.

86
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Oh, screwed Kershaw. We'll get to Tanner Scott and his five.

87
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: Scott at five, he got that fun here fundy count

88
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: already they did. Kershaw went five, and you and I

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: were texting, like, he went five innings, this is exactly won.

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: He was great. And then Tanner Scott comes in and yeah,

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: his post game was great.

92
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, State, but I did enough and I

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: made some bitches and it's unfortunate that it went that way.

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: Like this is tell this switch you really think, Clayton,

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: I could read your mind. But that all of that

96
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: to say, a lot of the big baseball games were

97
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: already off the board for today. So I'm like, all right,

98
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 3: really leaning into this t Wolves uh and Thunder game

99
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: that the Timberwolves are gonna go down swinging nah nah wildcats.

100
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: Man, this is like a little.

101
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: Cat hanging out in your park park parking spot, just

102
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: waiting for you to come home and then staring you down.

103
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: If the NBA wanted to say, I mean really, if

104
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: they said, okay, it's a seven games best of seven,

105
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: but if a team is up three games to one

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: or three games to none and they're going home, like

107
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: that's it.

108
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: Are you gonna start doing other metrics too? If they've

109
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: led this series? No, no, no, the total minutes is

110
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: a three to one margin, if to have that here too.

111
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: If it's a if it's a three, If no, it's

112
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: it's got it's got three two. If it's three one

113
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: or three to zero and a team is going home,

114
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: then okay, now on the road is different. Three two

115
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: is still potentially there for you. But three to one

116
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: or three is it Like, No, we're done. We're not

117
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: showing up. We're barely getting on the plane. So I mean,

118
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: if the NBA listen, we don't want to waste anybody's time.

119
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: We don't need to do this. We can seah.

120
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: We we just have a lot of stuff happening. We

121
00:05:59,279 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: just have that.

122
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: No, you gotta do make goods to the TV partners

123
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: and the way, and you got to give the money back.

124
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Nobody's given any money. You can still go to the arena.

125
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: No, No, well, what are you gonna do? Play Paul

126
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: the Jump.

127
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: You go to the arena, right, and it's a party

128
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: and you're and and you're giving away you know, you're

129
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: giving out the Western Conference final trophy. You're giving and

130
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: you're it's a big party and they play music and

131
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: stuff and there's games and maybe there's you know, face

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: painting or you know, crafts.

133
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 3: In the event that the series is declared over, you

134
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: will get a special concert by an A, B or

135
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: C list artist, depending on who's available at last minute.

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you turn it into like okay, instead

137
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: of the game.

138
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be kind of like a carnival and here's

139
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: a Motley Crue cover band. You get a cover bed

140
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: and you bring out a dunk tank and stuff. Yeah,

141
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm all right, we're going to the finals, and I'm excited.

142
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: We have a party.

143
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: But you can't have the players or coaches and the

144
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: dunk tank. They might catch cold and all of a

145
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: sudden they're at a disadvantage.

146
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: For the next round. No, no, no, no, you don't put the

147
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: You don't put the players in.

148
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: You put like other people in. You put like, oh hey,

149
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: let's get the PR department in. This really start getting

150
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: uh kind of like all the anonymous quote unquote phone

151
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: calls that tip people off as to where C and

152
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: D list celebrities are gonna eat lunch. So it's the

153
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: same thing kind of like, uh, you know, we gotta

154
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: we gotta get some quasi local celebrities to go sit

155
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: in the dunk tank. And you have your opportunity. You

156
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: don't like the local weather man, Yeah, and how's your

157
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,200

Speaker 1: would be like him, like out with a really attractive

231
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,199

238
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: they call me the Extender and.

239
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: He jumps out the window.

240
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: But the entire time like he's you know, as he's

241
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 3: talking it out right, he he's getting the page. It's

242
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: almost like he's got to go to a life saving

243
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: You must really have you know, your hostage negotiators up. Nope,

244
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: I'm the Extender. I'm the Extender. You know what out

245
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: the window? Who the Nicks are?

246
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: The last shot is her looking out going, Oh, I

247
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: was on a date with the Extender. I'll call you

248
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: like it's like, how would have like a deadpool vibe

249
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: the Extender? And when when Adam Silver calls, I gotta go,

250
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: that's it. Are you the original Extender? No, Dick Pavetta

251
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: was the extender before me. Now I'm the Extender and

252
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: I will pass this on at some point to someone else.

253
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: He bequeathed me this title. It's like a Bond movie.

254
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: Who's the next Extender?

255
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: No, Tony Brothers there, no, no, no, Dicky Nick Pavetta,

256
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Dick Pavex. That's was his nickname, Dick Pavetta to Scott Foster,

257
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: to Tony's good there you go, there there it is

258
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: right there like the green lanterns. To bring it back

259
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: to Ryan, will this circle be unbroken?

260
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 6: Look?

261
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: They put up fights in some of these games, right,

262
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: even the last game it will ended up being a

263
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: two point margin, and it was into the final possessions,

264
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: but then to absolutely no show here, careless turnover after

265
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: careless turnover, bad possessions and shots and look, fast break points.

266
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: We lamented your Nicks and their inability to work anything

267
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: in transition yesterday in their humbling loss to the Pacers.

268
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: It's much the same here. It's basically a no show

269
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: in fast breakpoints, Thunder getting back on defense, filling the lanes,

270
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: creating those anxious moments, bad passes, the extra pass that

271
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: finds its way at somebody's shin, and all of a

272
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: sudden we're on the on the ground, you know, rugby

273
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: scrum for the ball squirts out of bounds and we're

274
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: going back the other way. I mean, it's just been

275
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: a pathetic effort up and down.

276
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: But congratulations on a job done.

277
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: Ullas Randall just hit a three.

278
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: It's a twenty seven point game now, so half time

279
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: plus thirty one, I'm feeling pretty good if I had

280
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: plus thirty one at.

281
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,600

Speaker 3: know what could happen.

286
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Maybe instead of Pop's Halliburton who got bannedo'ld be Tyre's Halliburton.

287
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: We'll get banned for some reason. Who knows, I don't know.

288
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: And maybe they have a chance. That's the only way

289
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: they have a chance. But let let let's show up big.

00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Instiller in all unless you just get the game five

293

301
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: team that doesn't know the meaning of that. They're the

302
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: They're the night from Python that keeps getting arms and

Speaker 6: Now.

308
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: What would be comical is if all of those A

309
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: list actors are replaced by people that have just been

310
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: in mob movies. Just see if you can have an

311

361
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: Like a game where it's like ten to nine throughout,

362
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,200

00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 7: I would agree, I would the only thing to higher

369
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 7: rated it could be the Caleb Williams running out for

370
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 7: for the home opener.

371
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,560

374
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: that's one of the big stories today. Caleb Williams, who,

375
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: of course part of the Seth Wickersham article that we

376
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: talked about a week ago.

377
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 6: And books, not an article of a book, a.

378
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: Book, sorry, in a book talking about all the quarterbacks

379
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: talk to quarterbacks in high school, college, the NFL guys

380
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: who retired, you know, great great angle for a book.

381
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: And we found out that Caleb Williams and his dad

382
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: didn't want to go to Chicago, wanted to go any

383
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: place else quarter we all which.

384
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 6: We all knew before last draft, but they were being

385
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 6: honest about it.

386
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, where quarterbacks go to Die was the big

387
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: quote attributed to Caleb Williams. Bud he winds up getting

388
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: drafted by the Bears anyway, and here he isn't today

389
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: he said, no, no, no, I love being a Bear.

390
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: Jake Cole like, I mean, I know, I know, I know.

391
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't start out like a house.

392
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: Of fire, Harmon, Harmon's not good. Harmon's not great.

393
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, but at this point he's kind of come

394
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: to realize that this is just how it's going to

395
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: go for my teams.

396
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: But no, Harmon's not here.

397
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Jay Cole Smith, for the last eighteen months

398
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: has told me, I'm in the era of good feelings.

399
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 3: Everything's wonderful. You're gonna be talking about super Bowls and

400
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: championships and buying all sorts of merch. So he set

401
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: me up to just cut me off at the knees.

402
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 2: Well, no, I didn't do anything.

403
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: No, you did all that I didn't know about this

00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: book was gonna come out that wow, that all that

405
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,159

00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: attributed to that not someone heard someone say it, Ago says, Hey,

407
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams dead told Seth Rickerson this.

408
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 6: This season has been submarine faster than the Hunter, redoff over.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you've lost another submarine Admiral.

419
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 6: Okay, that's Caleb Williams.

420
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: I don't even know who's quarterbacking for the Vikings and

421
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: they've got better odds than the Bears to win the North.

422
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 6: This is so classic J. J.

423
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: McCarthy and the Unknown. But it's the Bears. It's the Bears,

424
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: is what they do.

425
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 6: It's the Bears since Luckman died, since Luckman quit, right,

426
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 6: that's about right, it's about forties, right, eighty years before

427
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 6: you were, before your your dad was maybe born. It

428
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 6: was like this. It's bad, man, it's this is not good.

429
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 6: It's it's not it's not good because there aren't a

430
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 6: lot of there aren't a lot of people in Chicago

431
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 6: who are necessarily feeling Caleb Williams last year with the

432
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 6: painted nails and the crying and the holding the ball

433
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 6: way too long and all the other things that went

434
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 6: with it. And now he's got to deal with this like, yeah,

435
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 6: it's yeah, I'm not sure that he has the mental

436
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 6: toughness to put up with what's going to rain down

437
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 6: on him if unless he is perfect this season, Like

438
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 6: he's got to complete his first two hundred and thirty

439
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 6: five passes before they accept him something like that, you know,

440
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 6: two thirty five or two thirty five, What do you

441
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 6: guya go like six games without throwing it, without throwing

442
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 6: an incompleation?

443
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: Well, I mean with the past chart they had last year,

444
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 3: that would work really well, Jacob.

445
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: It's all within five yards of the line of scrimmage, with.

446
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 6: All the the deep routes that they ran, although he

447
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 6: makes the longer given how far he drifts in the

448
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 6: pocket backwards. Yeah, he does two things that I know

449
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 6: is like, it's not only does he just retreat constantly

450
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 6: and try and throw off his back, but he retreats

451
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 6: in what is not a straight line. Have you ever

452
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 6: noticed that like, yeah, he drifts to one side of

453
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 6: the other so that the offensive tackle who's in front

454
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 6: of him generally has no idea where he is, so

455
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 6: he doesn't know which way to block his guy and

456
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 6: totally leads the offensive lineman blind in the in the

457
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 6: process of this.

458
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is he's retreating better from these

459
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: comments than he is when he drops back to pants.

460
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 6: Yes, pretty much, pretty much.

461
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: Hey, but Ben Johnson is a wizard.

462
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 6: That is. That is a fantastic interpretation of this situation. Maga.

463
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 6: It's it's almost as it's like this compared to the

464
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 6: cavalier nature of Aaron Rodgers and his approach to playing

465
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 6: football this year. But good, Mike, don't know, I'm not

466
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 6: sure I sling it. Yeah, Like that's really gonna work

467
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 6: in Pittsburgh, Yeah, where they they take their football very seriously.

468
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: Now, you mentioned Aaron Rodgers, and this brings us to

469
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: the Terry Bradshaw comments from yesterday, which are just absolutely hysterical.

470
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: He does an interview in which he talks about the

471
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: Steelers and what's going on with Rogers ending up in Pittsburgh,

472
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: and he says, it's a joke to me, this is

473
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: a joke that guy needs to stay in California, go

474
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods

475
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: out there. So Terry Bradshaw does not want Aaron Rodgers

476
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh.

477
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 6: This is basically the John Elway comments, what is it,

478
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 6: you know another forty years later or something like that,

479
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 6: forty two years later, Well he can just go play baseball,

480
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 6: play base Yeah, he wants to be in California. A yeah,

481
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 6: don't do that, you know, like, that's my that's our man, Bradshaw.

482
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 6: I would take it seriously, except that this is how

483
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 6: Bradshaw's just made a living for for forty years, just

484
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 6: ripping other people. And in all fairness, Aaron Rodgers. As

485
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 6: much as I like Aaron Rodgers, I love to watch

486
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 6: him play. You know, dude, you got to decide what

487
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 6: you want to do, you really do. You just you

488
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 6: got to decide. You got to commit. I mean, it's

489
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 6: the end of May. This whole thing that you think, oh,

490
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 6: I'll just show up in July and I'll be I'll

491
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 6: be good man, It's going to be all right. But

492
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 6: that just doesn't work. I mean you should have learned that,

493
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 6: you know, last year with the Jets, like you weren't

494
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 6: ready to come back. It wasn't good. You weren't on

495
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 6: the same page, or you know, give your teammates. You

496
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 6: weren't on the same page much of the time until really,

497
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 6: what was it about week twelve or thirteen that he

498
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 6: started to look like he was on page with guys

499
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 6: by that team or by that time the season was over,

500
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 6: you know, it was truly what he's round up, you know.

501
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: But that's the thing that gets me about him is

502
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: that as as much of a drama king as he

503
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: has been throughout his career, right, he's always okay, look,

504
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: I know what I need to do on the football field.

505
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: And I felt like last year and now I'm like,

506
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: does he really still want to play? Does he still

507
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: have that like I'd forget about. Oh, Pittsburgh is gonna

508
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: get him. He's gonna make his make a decision and

509
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: we'll see if he's, as you know, can improve on

510
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: last year. I just go, how is is he really

511
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: going to show up and be this? Is this mentally

512
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: not locked in and you're expecting this to work where

513
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: you have Aaron Rodgers who just doesn't even feel like

514
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: he really wants to play at this point.

515
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 6: You're completely correct. Your alternative, though, is Madson Rudolph.

516
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: Well, look, I'm not saying the Steelers know what the

517
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: hell they're doing, because clearly the NFL has passed them

518
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: by which we've talked about plenty of times.

519
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: But I mean still, I mean, like I would, I

520
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: would say, Oh.

521
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. I'm not sure i'd buy that. Okay,

522
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 6: I did buy that. They have a quarterback problem. Okay,

523
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 6: and I've had one for five years now.

524
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they can't even the quarterback.

525
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: Hey, I inherited Ben Roethlisberger and things were great for

526
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: thirteen years. Now we have to pick some Oh wait,

527
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: we can't do that really well, we keep picking the

528
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: wrong guy.

529
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 6: Can I ask something, who does pick quarterbacks?

530
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 5: Well?

531
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 6: In the history of this, like pack name a team

532
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 6: that's that's really good at it.

533
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: Packers hit thirty times thirty years.

534
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: No, man, the Steelers had been really good picking quarterbacks

535
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: for a long time.

536
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 6: The guy, really they only picked two, they picked two guys.

537
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you pick the right guy, it's good.

538
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: You're good for fifteen Cordell was pretty gay.

539
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 6: I understand, I understand, I understand what you're saying, okay,

540
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 6: I'm not, but like no team has outside of like

541
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 6: earning a Corsi who took Elway and Eli and what

542
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 6: Andy Reid is consistently done with quarterbacks, you know, by

543
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 6: getting them to play to the to the best of

544
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 6: their ability right and pick guys. You know, McNabb had

545
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 6: a good career, obviously, Mahomes is on a Hall of

546
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 6: Fame path. It gets Alex Smith, turns him into a

547
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 6: good player. The other guys along the way you had

548
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 6: good careers like Kevin Cobb and an Aj Feeley. You know,

549
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 6: those guys played the maximum of their ability. I'm not

550
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 6: saying that they were really good players, but they maxed

551
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 6: out right. So so Andy Reid has done a really

552
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 6: good job with quarterbacks historically.

553
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: Sean Payton's a groat job too.

554
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: He said, here, take up, We're gonna eat ninety million

555
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: dollars in all kinds of first round picks to get

556
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: out from right.

557
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 6: That's kind word of a guy who's bad. We don't

558
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 6: know if this guy, we don't know if Bonex is

559
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 6: really actually that good.

560
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: The Bonex was pretty good, loud going by the one

561
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: year last year, he's pretty good.

562
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 2: That bruise guy was pretty good too.

563
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, but can we just pump the brakes on? Like

564
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, He's like, he's got this long

565
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 6: history because more often than not, people are like Al

566
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 6: Davis picking quarterback, and Al Davis is in the Hall

567
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 6: of Fame, right or Hall of very famous, So I

568
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 6: would like to call them Al Davis's history of taking

569
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 6: first round picks quarterbacks in the first round is Mark Wilson,

570
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 6: Todd Marinovich, JaMarcus Russell.

571
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: Boy, all you have to do is go back to

572
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: the Jets like in the last ten years, and you

573
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: could have said the same point, are you right you

574
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: want to go NFL?

575
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: A story he wanted to show you could span decades.

576
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 6: I can. I can show you. The acknowledge is let's

577
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 6: take the Bears since luckman, Okay, stop it, are.

578
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 2: You already clubbed me? Why are you coming back for seconds?

579
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 6: It's eighty eighty years of complete inconfidence, including Rick Myer,

580
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 6: who's beyond incompetent. Okay, like it's just been It's look,

581
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 6: it's really hard to pick good. It's really hard to

582
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 6: pick them consistently. You're lucky you pick one who's really great.

583
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 6: If you happen to get two that are very good.

584
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: You know.

585
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 6: Again, of course he's the only one who's ever picked

586
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 6: two quarterbacks who won Super Bowls, the only guy in

587
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 6: the history of the league whoever did that. And one

588
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 6: of those two he actually never managed, like Elway was

589
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 6: traded before he ever had a chance the team that

590
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 6: had Lway on it. So, you know, thinking about it

591
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 6: in that perspective, he went and got l Wait, he

592
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 6: went and got Eli that, you know, so he identified

593
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 6: two great, great quarterbacks. Nobody else in the history of

594
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 6: the game has ever done that. It's just brutal, That's

595
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 6: all I can say.

596
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: He great quarterback. I'll play that back to him.

597
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame time, absolutely, no, no, no, okay.

598
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 6: I held up his bargain. Wait a second here, okay,

599
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 6: and you take any quarterback and he wins two Super

600
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 6: Bowls for you, He's held up his inner bargain. He's

601
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 6: done a great job. Is that worthy of being in

602
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 6: the Hall of Fame? Different, different argument. I think that

603
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 6: is going to make the Hall of Fame one day.

604
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 6: I just don't think it ain't going to be this year, especially,

605
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 6: And it's going to be really hard if they continue

606
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 6: to have these rules the way they have them where

607
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 6: it's going to be hard to get more than like

608
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 6: four or five guys in in any given year.

609
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: You know.

610
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 6: They they made it really tough to get guys like

611
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 6: I'm not sure where we're going to get another coach

612
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:17,800

00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: he left, and.

730
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 4: That dude was a double shy of the cycle and

731
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 4: they disrespected him like that.

732
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: Don't you have to talk about the game at some

733
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: point you're on the White Sox broadcast. Okay, it doesn't.

734
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: We don't even need we even say we're at the game.

735
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: We could just think we're doing a podcast.

736
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: See that.

737
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 3: But that's one thing that for all these years being

738
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 3: a long suffering up two thousand and five is light years,

739
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: light years away, is that Hinsdorf always had the ears

740
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 3: on the broadcast.

741
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: So have you got critical?

742
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: He was on you and you were gonna hear about it,

743
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: and it was gonna be made publicly known that you

744
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: got your dressing down because you know the sanctity of

745
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: what you're doing. I mean, this is he didn't care

746
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: there anymore either. How many at the gate, come on,

747
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: it was Aaron was this? It doesn't it doesn't matter.

748
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: It's like the Bob Buker line. I don't think you

749
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: can say that, Harry, Why doesn't matter? No one's listening.

750
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 4: The guy's like, oh hey, we got it.

751

00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: the Bachelor with our guests, and instead, odd how I

755
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: got to talk about that pesky baseball. It's in the wayaseball.

756
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: It's like Rodney Dangerfield and back to school. You know,

757
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: these classes could be a real inconvenience to your college life.

758
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 6: Now.

00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 3: I get it, he's hitting just above two hundred on

760
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 3: the ear, but you still have a job.

761
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,120

Speaker 1: Uh So that was the tire rack play of the day.

763
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: You can't just farm it out to other people. They're

764
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: paying you to talk. What are you doing bringing in

765
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: all these other random voices and getting away from the

766
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: task at hand. No, No, we're gonna we'll revisit that again,

767
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: because that's too much fun to not. I got to

788
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: some things are just very basic and and and that's

789
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna go here because I've had it with

790
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big Ten and there holier than

791
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: thou attitude that we're really college football. You know, you

792
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: know what you know what shut up. I'm done. I'm

793
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: done with you guys saying we're really the best. And

794
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: I don't know why you wouldn't do that because.

795
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: We're on it.

796
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: You know what, Then go do what I said you

797
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: were going to do a year ago. Go have your

798
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: own playoffs. SEC in the Big Ten, form your own

799
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: high level of college football, play your own season, have

800
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: your own playoffs.

801
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 6: Do it right.

802
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: There's no rules in college football. You can go do it.

803
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: There's there's no one making sure that there's stuff followed

804
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: for the health of college football. Now, olllege football is

805
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: the wild West. Things change every five seconds. So go

806
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: do that because clearly you want to. Clearly that's where

807
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: you're at. And I've had it with there. Oh, we're

808
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: really pushing college football. You know, things go in cycles.

809
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: The SEC didn't have a team playing for the national

810
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: championship last year. Yes, they had teams in, but oh,

811
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: we should have had more.

812
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: You know what.

813
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm sorry you didn't get it. You have

814
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: enough teams in play Morgan, but our conference is so good. No,

815
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: I've had it with them. I've had it with both

816
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: of their attitudes and they can both you know, go

817
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: do your own thing. Then go do your own thing.

818
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 2: Well, it's thing.

819
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: Greg Sank is the de facto commission commissioner based on

820
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: what the SEC has been this last decade plus run

821
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 3: of titles and teams deep into the playoffs. So yeah,

822
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 3: it's he's become the voice when you haven't decided as

823
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 3: a collective to find that single figure. Right, You've got

824
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 3: people on the broadcast side and have to deal with

825
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 3: the broadcast rights and rankings or whatever, but you've never said, hey,

826
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 3: we've got a commissioner for everything. No, every conference has

827
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 3: one what are you gonna have money in the bank?

828
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: Match?

829
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 3: And the guy that gets up to the ladder and

830
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 3: gets the briefcase, he's the guy that gets to make

831
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 3: decisions for the next year.

832
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's kind of where we're at with this.

833
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 3: So for the Big ten and SEC either flexing their

834
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 3: muscle and their TV deals and until the rest rise

835
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 3: up to challenge them, flex all you.

836
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 1: Want, exit up about a Fresco exit swollen dumb Jason

837
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: Smith my card.

838
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 2: Now, I've had I've had it with that, and.

839
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: We've had it with the NBA Western Conference Finals step

840
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: big start points shot booming. It's like, wow, I'll tell

841
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: you Okay, so the Thunder are headed to the NBA Finals.

842
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: I have a week and a day off. Game one

843
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals is next Thursday. Their first time

844
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: in the finals since twenty twelve. And again, when you

845
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: have three MVPs over a twelve year span, I think

846
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: you're underachieving. I think you're under it. KD and Westbrook

847
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: and SGA, I think you're underachieving.

848
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: Wait, we're the little engine that could. Now you've had

849
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 2: three MVPs over a ten year span.

850
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: A lot of stars on that squad, and you had

851
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: James Harden. You couldn't hold onto them.

852
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot of James Harden.

853
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 5: Uh.

854
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: Now, look, this was a game that was long decided. Basically, Look,

855
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: the Thunder got out to a lead and the Tea

856
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: Wolves packed it away. You can tell when teams know

857
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: coming in, yeah, we'll put up a little bit of

858
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: a fight. When things start going our way, we know

859
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: we're done. And the Tea Wolves just absolutely knew they

860
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: were done in the middle of the first half of

861
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: this game, right, And it was just they never threatened,

862
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: They never really pushed forth with some kind of push

863
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: Like what I said at the beginning of the show.

864
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: If the NBA wanted to put in a rule that

865
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: if you're up three to zero or three to one

866
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: and you're going home for a game, we can end

867
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: the series. Circus vargas, we don't need to play it

868
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: because it's a waste of everybody's time because team's down

869
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: three zip, three to one going on the road. Forget it,

870
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: forget it, you're not you're they put it away, and

871
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: it's a waste of television, a waste of space.

872
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: We had games like this.

873
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: So if the NBA wanted to set now three two no, no, no,

874
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: and and three two if that the if the and

875
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: three one three zero, if the team down is playing

876
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: at home, no, we'll keep that going. But three to

877
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: one or three to zero, if that team down is

878
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: going on the road, okay, no, No, the series is

879
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: all you can clinch getting that third win of this series.

880
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: If you're up by two or more games and you're

881
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: going home for the next game.

882
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 3: Is it replaced with a live theatrical version of Scooby

883
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 3: Doo and the Kiss, you know, rock and roll Mystery

00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: Maybe they signed some monographs.

898
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,960

00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: at the end with thunder TV.

916
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 10: Ninety four of the final of thirty Point Route. Not

00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 5: By this season, but Oklahoma City did not hold the

919
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 5: best record in the West. And now this historic, relentless

920
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 5: thunderstorm has unstoppably, emphatically and officially earned the Moniker Best

921
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 5: in the West.

922
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: Okay, yes or no? Was that written down and he

923
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 2: read off it written?

924
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 10: Now?

925
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 3: That was a WWE pro. I had that ready and

926
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 3: packed and I was waiting for him to tell me.

927
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 3: He was at the Hartford Civic Center on Saturday night.

928
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: I think a Tethan door. One hundred percent he had

929
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 3: that call. And maybe he wrote it at halftime because.

930
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 4: You know it in his mom's basement.

931
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: But I'm like, okay, playing it. There's no way that

932
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: wasn't read off the card. I play it one more time.

933
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 10: One four ninety four of the final of thirty Point Route,

934
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 10: and the paper not a single day went by this season,

935
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 10: but Oklahoma City did not vote the best record in

936
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 10: the West, and now this historic, relentless thunderstorm has unstoppably

937
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 10: emphatically and officially earned the Moniker Best in the.

938
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: West, unstoppably emphatically. Now that's all written down. That's all

939
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: written down.

940
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 3: Either that or he was channeling Jackie Childs from Seinfeld

941
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 3: your the late great Dusty Row.

942
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: Your face is my case hard times. All right, I'm

943
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: gonna write this down so I get to say it,

944
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: and I get to use all the adjectives I want

945
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: to indubidably. Yeah, I had this, I had this horus

946
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: up and I just put those words in. You see

947
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: all the stuff I had there, emphatically, expeditiously. So what's what?

948
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: What's a big takeaway from a game that was not

949
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: in doubt over the course of the past two and

950
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: a half hours. Matt Pinto on the line. But Matt Pinto,

951
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: he was a he was a Clippers guy for a while, Right,

952
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: pretty sure he's that bad?

953
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 6: Yeah? Pretty sure?

954
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:21,919
Speaker 4: Wow?

955
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: Wow, Frostburg off the top rope? What was worse? What

956
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: was what was worse that? Or Tanner Scott today? What

957
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 2: was you want to come say that to my face?

958
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeahd he worked for the Hornets and Somehaw day.

959
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know how many I'm gonna have left.

960
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: But that's the thing. You can't waste a Curshaw day,

961
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 2: and he did. You probably have you get me all

962
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 2: rolled up?

963
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 6: Smith?

964
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 2: You probably have. I don't. I don't know that you

965
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: have twelve Kershaw days.

966
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

967
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna say if you said it at ten

968
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: and a half. Are you getting the double digits?

969
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 10: Man?

970
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tough. Yeah, that's tough.

971
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 5: Man.

972
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 2: Right back to the out look.

973
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 3: You now we're pondering the meaning and life. Look what

974
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 3: happened now we went going from a burial today.

975
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: Life was better than this game show up.

976
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: Put that up on the big screen instead. Man, face painting,

977
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm an expert.

978
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: I did it for you.

979
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: Barkley and Kenny Smith get their faces painted instead.

980
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 2: That would be kind of cool. You literally have the

981
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: cloud mask for whatever you look like. Elsa. Yes, I

982
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: got the Elsa face paint. I look awesome.

983
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: They gave me a little sparkles that yeah, okay, But

984
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: like the ice trails.

985
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 2: Sure.

986
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: We've had the conversation the last few nights about how

987
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: listen if you're really the face of the league, or

988
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: someone people want to make the face of the league.

989
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: And Ann Edwards, you got to show up, right, will

990
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: up more and Ann Edwards coming up later on this hour.

991
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: But I told you, why did I pick the Thunder

992
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: to win? Why did I pick the thund Look, I

993
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: know that SGA was going to be a more consistent

994
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: superstar throughout this series, and he was, and SGA had

995
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: and SGA was there and led the Tea, led the

996
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: Thunder every single game, right, I mean it was that

997
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: this is a guy that gets rewarded with the MVP

998
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: in the middle of this series, and he shows everybody

999
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: why he was the MVP in the NBA this year.

1000
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: Thirty one, thirty eight, fourteen and the loss okay, I

1001
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: got not to say it was a throwaway issue. Thirty

1002
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: forty and thirty four Okay, he led them to the

1003
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: NBA finals and and Edwards had two games at least

1004
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: where he didn't show up. And I don't know that

1005
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: he really knows offensively when he needs to push when

1006
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't. Right like that that's the whole thing with

1007
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: Ann Edwards. But yet still always so athletic, and he's

1008
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: so good new and he and again and he has

1009
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: the sweatband on his arm like Jordan, and he's Jordan.

1010
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 2: He's Jordan.

1011
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: You want to really have an a real good face

1012
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: of the league conversation about who could be at This

1013
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: is your guy, Sga is your guy. This is a

1014
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: guy who suddenly has led the thunder as you'ord Matt

1015
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: Pinto say, not a day out of first place.

1016
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 2: This year, he.

1017
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: Wins the MVP. They are into the NBA Finals and

1018
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: will enter as an overwhelming favorite to win this series.

1019
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: He's in probably five games. SGA has shown in a

1020
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: very short amount of time, still twenty five years old,

1021
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: that he is the best all around player playing in

1022
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: the game right now. That is exciting. That is someone

1023
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: that you can push and say, hey, this guy is

1024
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: really just getting started. He just wins the MVP. Now

1025
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: he's really just getting going. Everybody loves him. Everybody loves Sga.

1026
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: He doesn't have any detractors. Everybody says, well, I wish

1027
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 1: he would do this more, he would do this.

1028
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: He would do this.

1029
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: He has universally loved This is your face of the

1030
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: league in the NBA.

1031
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you have the obvious of the free

1032
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 3: throw merchant. Well, he didn't need to do it today

1033
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 3: because they beat the absolute snot out of these guys

1034
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 3: only had to go to the line four times, So

1035
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 3: that's always in the back pocket. And that's the thing

1036
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 3: to remember, right, is that it's there when you need

1037
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 3: it and you can lean into it.

1038
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: And certainly Anthony Edwards in this game tried to. He

1039
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 2: just didn't get.

1040
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 3: The calls, at least early on when it was still

1041
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 3: a kind of a game. But for SGA, the only

1042
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 3: thing that comes against him is he's playing for the Thunder. Well,

1043
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 3: if they go on a run. And this is where

1044
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 3: it gets interesting, right, is where we've been talking about

1045
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 3: parody and where the league is and trying to figure

1046
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 3: out power shifts and balances, and whenever a team starts

1047
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 3: to look like they're coming together, it's like, are we

1048
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 3: crown them?

1049
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be all right. There's a dynastic run.

1050
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 3: It has to happen, and then it falls apart after

1051
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 3: a year, a couple of guys get hurt.

1052
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: And we move on to the next shiny object.

1053
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: Thunder with all their draft picks, with a young core,

1054
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: they're not going anywhere for a while.

1055
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 3: So now this has the opportunity to ges date and

1056
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 3: I like that. It gets to just build to that

1057
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 3: point as opposed to you're the guy, which is what

1058
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 3: we do usually after a series or a couple or

1059
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 3: a month and a half of basketball, like we.

1060
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 2: Did with Edwards.

1061
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: Didn't mean we didn't like him last year, but all

1062
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the playoffs has a couple of monster performances.

1063
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, crown that guy. He fits the suit.

1064
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 3: Going back to the Johnny Bravo reference that you know,

1065
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 3: desegremate and all of that stuff. But it's the the

1066
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 3: idea that it can build to make him the guy.

1067
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 2: Right because we've had Jo Kitchen, there's an appreciation.

1068
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 3: But he's seven feet so no matter what else he does,

1069
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 3: he's seven feet. He's not a guy that everybody knows

1070
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 3: stuff about except he's got a couple of brothers and

1071
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: that he likes to hang out with his horses.

1072
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: That's it. That Okay, what do you do with that?

1073
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 2: You got Yannis?

1074
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 3: Like, there's always that arms distance with the international guys

1075
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 3: for some reason. By the way, SHA's Canadian, So is

1076
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,919
Speaker 3: that a problem. Now you can still be good because

1077
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 3: are we going to acquire them? Because then that makes

1078
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 3: it easier for him.

1079
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: Well, that's a big bargaining chip for Cannaba said, hey,

1080
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: you can't, you can't have SGS.

1081
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. We gotta go back, we gotta

1082
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 3: come back with somebody negotiation. I come back with something.

1083
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: But to your point, I mean it's now on the table.

1084
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: Assuming they go and they take care of business against

1085
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: We'll just say for sake of argument, they.

1086
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: Uh, and then coming into next year they'll be the

1087
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 2: prohibited favorites unless there's some substantive change that happens out

1088
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 2: of the blue that this core returns and will be

1089
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 2: ready to defend their title. And you still have draft

1090
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: picks to go and fill in anything that you perceive

1091
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 2: to be holes. It's a very dangerous place for the

1092
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 2: rest of the Western Conference.

1093
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: SGA is your face of the league. I mean there's

1094
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: really there's no there's nowhere, nowhere else to go because

1095
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: he checks he checks every box that you want from

1096
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: a guy. You want somebody who is exciting, Yes, who's dominate?

1097
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 2: Yes? Is he interesting when you hear him talk? Yes.

1098
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: Do his teammates love him, yeah, every interview he does,

1099
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: his teammates stand with him.

1100
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 2: They love the guy.

1101
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 3: Really, this this it's always been about team. It's like,

1102
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 3: I've got my guys with me.

1103
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I I don't know why we keep pushing

1104
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: and why the push to make Anthony Edwards happen or

1105
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: somebody else happened, Like this is like okay, you're you're

1106
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: really looking too far and now here it is is

1107
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: maybe this is the anointment of him getting to the finals,

1108
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: which is probably gonna win. Okay, all right, here's GILDI

1109
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: is your face in the leagu Yeah.

1110
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 2: The word annointment sounds like it hits the year wrong.

1111
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 3: But I would say this for the Anthony Edwards, you know,

1112
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 3: those that push that part of the narrative. It's just

1113
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 3: the easy one to one video comparisons because SGA is

1114
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 3: smooth as hell, but it's not a lot of explosive

1115
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 3: plays right gets to the rim, gets to the foul line.

1116
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 3: We talked about it earlier in the series. Is there

1117
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 3: such a thing as a quiet thirty eight points?

1118
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: He's a guy that does it fairly consistently.

1119
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, it's I guess goes to some of the

1120
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 3: Jokichen and other players of that ILK where it's all right,

1121
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 3: they get their stats, but it's not gonna dot the

1122
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 3: highlight reel like it becomes the long storytell to get

1123
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 3: to all right, watch watch how surgical this is over

1124
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 3: the course of a game versus hey, here's John Morant

1125
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 3: flying over people like he's evil, and evil flying over

1126
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 3: would be you know, centers and those trying to stand

1127
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 3: in the way. So with SGA, we don't have a

1128
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 3: lot of those. Ah, that's a nice looking layup. Okay,

1129
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 3: he dun't today. And it became a high light. Well

1130
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 3: immediately it was like, hey he doesn't.

1131
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, not every one of Jordan's highlights was always

1132
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: something where it was hey, look how great. Sometimes it

1133
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: was just hey, I'm coming down. I'm been a fifteen

1134
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: foot jumper. Okay, but counts just like the others. And

1135
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's a that's a killer there. I mean,

1136
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: it's just a different to be. But it's just a

1137
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: different cell point.

1138
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 3: Now, right, that's thirty years of lore and the way

1139
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 3: the game was digested versus our short attention span theater.

1140
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 2: And now you have a hole for who is.

1141
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: The next you know, we went, we went from Jordan

1142
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: to a little bit of Kobe to Lebron and now

1143
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: what it is now Lebron is going Jed. This is

1144
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: your guy man, this is your guy
