1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of thought last week was it. I

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: kind of thought Bernie would be back today. But the

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: boss Man reached out, probably got down the list of people.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: Of course, Arnie feels like he's the first call on everything.

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 3: He probably is.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: They worked their way down the depth chart and they

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: got to me, and I'm ready to go. I'm like,

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: let's go put me in, coach. I'm ready to play.

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: So Bernie is out for what I understand to be guys,

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: one more one more night? Is that right?

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 4: Ian?

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 3: Is he back tomorrow? Bernie back tomorrow? All right?

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 5: He's been in London and France and all over Europe.

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a little bit envious. I've always wanted

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: to be a world traveler, but I hate to fly.

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: So can I take a boat? I mean, would that

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: be possible? Can they just, like in New York, take

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: me on a boat across the Atlantic.

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 5: Back in that was the only option?

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: That's right, That's.

22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: Right, gentlemen, as we come to you live from the

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: tire rack dot Com studios. Tire rack dot Com. The

Speaker 2: way tire buying should be an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,

Speaker 2: free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.

26
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: Tirack dot com will help you get there. I just

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: I have a very unpopular opinion, and I want to

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: go ahead and get it out of the way. I

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: don't really have a hot take on Caitlin Clark. Kind

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: of done with the Scottie Scheffler stuff. Now, don't get

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: me wrong. Last night, for was it this show last weekend?

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: It was, wasn't it when Scheffler got arrested?

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, it was already a week ago.

34
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was this Friday night into a Saturday morning.

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: And I don't I don't care, I don't care. I'm

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: sure that it was a tense situation.

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: It was thirty in the morning.

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: Someone had been killed, did someone had lost their lives?

39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: That probably is a better way to put it. But

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: I understand why tensions might have been high. But in

41
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: that same vein, I think in those situations too, sometimes

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: we overreact. So I don't really have a thought or

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: a take on it. Number two, I'm just this is

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: where I suck as a talk show host, y'all, And

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: I just feel like if I'm honest and I call

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: myself out, you don't have to because there's sometimes with

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: certain stories in certain situations where it's it's just I'd

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: like watching the game, and that's really about it too it.

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's much more to break down.

50
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: I feel like the Caitlin Clark reaction is one of

51
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: the great reasons why we can't have nice things, because

52
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: everyone's got a bitch and moan about something. If it's

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: former players or current players who feel like that she's

54
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: getting too much coverage and she's being handled with kid gloves, okay.

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: If it's the other side that thinks that they're being

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: unfair tour, that's fine.

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: I don't.

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: I just like watching her play basketball, and that's why

59
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: I was kind of digging, kind of digging. I always

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: did listening to Jason and Mike, but they were actually

61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: talking about the game and there wasn't a Caitlin Clark.

62
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: Is she the biggest bust through four games in the

63
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: history of the WNBA. I'm thinking to myself, I don't

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: really know. If I don't really know, if I know

65
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: all that many players in the WNBA outside of Caitlin

66
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: Clark cover the league, cover a lot of college basketball,

67
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: but I don't really cover the WNBA. So it's been

68
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: all new to me, and I enjoy it. I like

69
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: to watch it. I like the Las Vegas Aces. My

70
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: football team owner apparently is much better at owning a

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: WNBA team than he is at owning an NFL team.

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: It's okay, you know, I'll let that pain subside at

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: some point, Ain't that right, k Fig?

74
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: But I just.

75
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: I don't understand why. Sometimes there just can't be Man,

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: that's a really cool story. I can't wait to see

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: how that plays out. All right, let's let's see what else.

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: Is going on. It can't, I mean not everything has

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: to have some sort.

80
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: Of gosh a story to it about the legacy of

81
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: it or what it means for an entire sport. Sometimes

82
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: it can be that's really cool. They ended up having

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: to move a women's bat WNBA game inside the home

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: of the Lakers.

85
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 3: I think that's really cool. It doesn't have to become

86
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: this fight I saw.

87
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I've seen so many of yous, try's

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: so many views, so many of you people try to

89
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: platform this as if it's some sort of line that

90
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: we're drawing in the sand. Either you're pro Caitlin Clark

91
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: or your anti Caitlin Clark. I don't care. I just

92
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: I like watching her play basketball. I don't feel like

93
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: everything needs to be a fight. Heck, I like softball,

94
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: I like NASCAR. Hell I'll watch I'll find myself watching

95
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: the stupid Australian rules football games whenever I'm up at

96
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: these ridiculous hours of the night. I love watching sports.

97
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: I don't feel like we always have to fight about everything.

98
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: This is an eighteen game schedule that we're brawling over,

99
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: or Dak Prescott.

100
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: It's Caitland Clark.

101
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: So if you came here tonight for the hot WNBA takes,

102
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm just here to tell you I'm not that guy.

103
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: Man, I'm not that guy. I'm enjoying it.

104
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: I think it's cool that we're talking about it, and

105
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: I don't feel like everything has to be some sort

106
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: of an indictment on the history of a sport or

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: the legacy that.

108
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: Someone is creating.

109
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, is we welcome you in

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: on this Friday night into a Saturday morning. I do

111
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: find it funny that the Dallas Mavericks have taken a

112
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: two to zero lead in this best of seven. Me

113
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: remind you best of seven NBA playoff series with Minnesota

114
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: and because someone that we all have elevated to another

115
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 2: ridiculous level has had a couple of tough games.

116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: We're ready to bury him. I don't know. I was

117
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: living on Twitter quite a bit before the show.

118
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: I was trying to get a feel on what the

119
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: reaction was and the Mavericks win, kind of how.

120
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: People feel about this series going forward?

121
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: And did we not watch the last series between Denver

122
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: and Minnesota?

123
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: Do you guys not watch that series? Did that not happen?

124
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: I don't know.

125
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: I'm trying to ask him for a friend, I think

126
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: is what they say. So someone throughout Anthony Edwards has

127
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: to be careful. He can't be having these bad games.

128
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: They'll pile on him more than Lebron and that took

129
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: years to overcome, Like what what are we doing?

130
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: Man?

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards has had a couple of bad games in

132
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: the playoffs and his team is still in the Western

133
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: Conference finals in his second real playoff run. It probably

134
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: is an adjustment for a young team. It's a young

135
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: team that went out and went all in on bringing

136
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: in a big man.

137
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: And I think it's working.

138
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: But this idea that this series is over is fascinating

139
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: to me. When you consider what just happened in the

140
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: series before it. The Timberwolves went on the road and

141
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: won two games from the defending champs, and oh yeah,

142
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: went in their house and won a game seven. They're

143
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: also coming off a hard fought seven game set where

144
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: Dallas Dallas got pushed. Man, I still can't believe the

145
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 2: Thunder lost that series in six. It's just unbelievable to me.

146
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: But you know, they had an extra day, I got

147
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: a little rest.

148
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: Good to go. Dad.

149
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: Luca always looks like he's about to fall down and

150
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: never be able to play basketball again. But this whole idea,

151
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: and I get it. It's two wins in your home arena.

152
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: It sucks. It's not how it's supposed to be.

153
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: But Minnesota's They've won five of their six games on

154
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: the road this postseason. They swept through a Phoenix, they

155
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: beat the defending champs. Anthony Edwards has had a couple

156
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: of bad games, but guess who else has Karl Anthony

157
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: Towns and Rudy Gobert. They were atrocious tonight. So I

158
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: don't I don't understand that. This is one of those

159
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: things that always confuses me, and everyone always talks about

160
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: it as if they're chastising a four year old. Whenever

161
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: they're trying to give you a perspective on things, they

162
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: get that quiet voice and they try to tell you

163
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: that Anthony Edwards just ain't that guy. I'm like, he'll

164
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: throw down one dunk two nights, would that be Sunday,

165
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 2: and you'll lack like he's the greatest thing you've ever seen. Again,

166
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: sure that was ugly tonight. You can't shoot twenty nine

167
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: percent from the floor twenty eight percent from three and

168
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: find yourself in a position to help your team win. No,

169
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: he did finish with twenty one points, but we're looking

170
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: at the last three games twenty five percent from the floor,

171
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: thirty seven point five percent from the floor, twenty nine

172
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: percent from the floor not good enough, but also in

173
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: that you're looking at twenty one points, nineteen points and

174
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: still in double figures with sixteen. The problem with Anthony

175
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: Edwards isn't that he suddenly sucks or that we elevate

176
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: it to a Michael Jordan level too soon. The problem

177
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: with Anthony Edwards is this is a very young basketball team, man,

178
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: and there's not a lot of playoff experience. The Dallas Mavericks,

179
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: while still a relatively young team. This is their second

180
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,359
Speaker 2: Western Conference Finals.

181
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 3: In three years.

182
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: They've got a coach that has been around the block

183
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: a few times. Whenever it comes to coaching in big

184
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 2: time games like this, think what you want of Jason Kidd,

185
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: but somehow he finds ways to fall into situations as

186
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: a head coach where he seems.

187
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: To have a successful squad.

188
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: So count me among those that's not ready to write

189
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: the eulogy on Anthony Edwards or even on the Minnesota

190
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: Timberwolves right now. I think this still has the potential

191
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: to be a fun see, a fun series. And I also,

192
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm enjoying it. I think it's been I

193
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: can't stand Luca. I can't stand him. He cries all

194
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 2: the time. Every single time he even so much as

195
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 2: bangs knees with someone, he acts like his leg fall

196
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: fell off.

197
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: Oh oh my gosh.

198
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: Dude, when that guy gets the ball in clutch time,

199
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: crunch time, whenever you need a bucket, Guy's nails, and

200
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: he's fun to watch. Kyrie Irving has reinvented himself. I

201
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: don't know how or are where this happened, but all

202
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: of a sudden, as different as Kyrie is there's not

203
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: a lot of fighting and scratching and clawing back and

204
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: forth about how he's some weirdo. He's out there making

205
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 2: plays for Dallas. It's a good team. And Dallas did

206
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: the thing that everyone hopes their team does at the

207
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: trade deadline. They made some big time moves and got better.

208
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: They don't beat Oklahoma City without PGA Washington.

209
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: They just don't. They're not here right now.

210
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: And they've they've they've pushed all the right buttons. Afterwards,

211
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: Luca talked about his game winning shot, and in fact,

212
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: he thinks it's the best. He thinks it's of his

213
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: game winners that he sits so far in the NBA.

214
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: Chalk this up to number one, number one according to

215
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: Luka Doncins.

216
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 6: Do you have a favorite that comes to mind when

217
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 6: you think about all the different ones you've hit over

218
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 6: the years.

219
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 7: Oh no, I think the one in the Bubble was

220
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 7: pretty good, I know, but no crowd. I imagine that

221
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 7: crowd will be insane.

222
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 8: Uh.

223
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 7: Then the one in Grizzly No Memphis. Ya, that was

224
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 7: a shot I have no crowd again too, So I

225
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 7: think those two.

226
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: It's isn't it funny to kind of give you an

227
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: idea of how good Luca is. We're having to ask

228
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: which one is your favorite? Which one is your favorite

229
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: game winning shot that you made. I mean, that's that's

230
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: that's pretty cool. Luca wasn't done.

231
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 3: So he can't ef and guard you. Huh, sorry, he

232
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: can't ef and guard you.

233
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 7: Who said that?

234
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: He said that?

235
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 7: I ain't say that. I was speaking Slovenian.

236
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: Take us through. I still don't know.

237
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes I'll see these sites that will have

238
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: the what they say is what they feel like a

239
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: guy is saying after a game winning shot, or what

240
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: a gal is saying when they're reading their lips, and

241
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 2: I see something completely different. I'm like, what, I don't

242
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: think that. I don't think that's what he said. Though

243
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: to me, he clearly said you can't f and guard me.

244
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty clear. But Luca, I mean,

245
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: the guy's just he's pretty down to earth. It seems

246
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: seems like the kind of guy that after he's done,

247
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: you might see him at a bar grabbing a cold.

248
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what would be the go to drink

249
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: for Luca. I don't think it's a PAPS Blue ribbon

250
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: like it would be for me. But the point is

251
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 2: this has been a fun series. We don't have to

252
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: get caught up in legacy talks. We don't have to

253
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: get caught I mean, I'm watching the debate shows in

254
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: case you can't tell, I push back against the debate shows.

255
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: And if I was, what does this series mean for

256
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: Kyrie's legacy?

257
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: Y'all?

258
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't care less about Kyrie's legacy. If he wins

259
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: his second ring, good on him, man, I've enjoyed watching him.

260
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: Am I gonna sit down in twenty years from now

261
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: and talk about the greatness of Kyrie Irving? Probably not,

262
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: because he was always with the Batman always, and I

263
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: think he probably could have been a batman himself.

264
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: But he chose to.

265
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: Show up at city council meetings when his team needed

266
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: him the most. Virtually, he chose to go rogue in

267
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: a random just weirdo crazy takes the world being flat whatever.

268
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: But bottom line, none of that matters, because I don't care.

269
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: I love watching him play, just like I love watching

270
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: Ann Edwards play, just like I love watching Luka Donc's play.

271
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: Not everything is some sort of tip of the cap

272
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: or red check mark against a guy's legacy, which is

273
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: why now taking this to where as Ben Mallor has

274
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: always taught me, the best stories are in the loser's

275
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: locker room. Anthon and the Edwards talked about the level

276
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: of panic right now in the Minnesota Timberwolves locker room.

277
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: It was down three two, it was up two o.

278
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 9: Then they came in one two at the crib and

279
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 9: then one one at their crib. So, I mean we've

280
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 9: been here before. Yeah, I don't think anybody in the

281
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 9: locker room was panicing. I hope not, because just come

282
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 9: out of playoff Randon basketball. We let him make a run.

283
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 9: We're supposed to go up big, but it made a

284
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 9: run and cut it right before half.

285
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 5: We made some mistakes, but we'll be right.

286
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they've this is a young team, this

287
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: is a fun team. They've also taken the scenic crew

288
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: to get here. They had to play seven and did

289
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: it in the most unique way possible in finding a

290
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: way to knock off the defending champs. I'm not ready

291
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: to count them out just because they've had a rough

292
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: start to this series. They were in control for a

293
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: lot of the game tonight, and the mist shots for

294
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards obviously something he's got to focus on.

295
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 9: Uh, they just showing me croyles Man sending the gaps.

296
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 9: But I'm turning down a lot of shots, you know,

297
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 9: like my may Rangers and stuff. I'm turning a lot

298
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 9: of those down. But we getting open. Look for I

299
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 9: ain't tripp.

300
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: One on nine one o eight.

301
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: I guess I'm kind of taking the fun out of this, right,

302
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: No legacy talk, no fighting over. If Anthony Edwards has

303
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: had some sort of bloated perspective heading into this postseason

304
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: based on what he's done so far, I'm not here

305
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: for it. You might be, that's fine, you do, you boo,

306
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: But for me, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over

307
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards' performances in the first two games of this series.

308
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, by the way, let's say

309
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: Dallas eliminates Minnesota in five six games. Do you suddenly

310
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: think Minnesota is not going to be a contender again

311
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: next year? Do you suddenly think they're gonna go the

312
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: way of the Quinn Snyder Utah Jazz team that was

313
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: the number one overall seed And suddenly Ant's gonna one

314
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: out and Karl Anthony Towns is gonna win out. Rudy

315
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: gobhar is gonna want to go somewhere else. I mean,

316
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: come on, We've got a really good foundation of young

317
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: fun teams in the West, the thunder Our fun team.

318
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: They got an MVP candidate in Shay Gilgess. Alexander on

319
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty six draft picks over the next

320
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 2: three years, I count them.

321
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: I'm being serious. Minnesota's not going anywhere. They're fun.

322
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated to see if anything can become. Speaking of

323
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: a player that I love watching that everyone tends to destroy,

324
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: Zion Williamson, I mean, can he and Brandon Ingram co exist?

325
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'm here for the storyline.

326
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: Houston. I mean, Houston made a run at one point

327
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 3: near the I guess you could say midway point of

328
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: the final month of the season, where they were kind

329
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: of knocking on a playoff birth.

330
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: They're good. We're gonna have another high pick. Are you

331
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: telling me you're not excited about wim Bin Yaman what

332
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 2: he can become after watching him this year? The West

333
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: is a blast.

334
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 3: Man.

335
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: So instead of sitting here trying to barry Anthony Edwards

336
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: because he's had a couple of bad nights, man, I

337
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: just can't wait to see what's next. And I think

338
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna go to Dallas and beat him on Sunday.

339
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: I think Anthony Edwards is gonna have a big game

340
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: and then they'll be completely different narratives. Oh well, Luca

341
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: obviously isn't ready for the big time. I get hit

342
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: a game winning shot, but he can't follow it up.

343
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: Got to enjoy the moment. Guys stop and smell the roses, flowers,

344
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: whatever not. Everything has to be a fight over whether

345
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: or not a guy's future is doomed or if he

346
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: can't hit the big shot. Tonight, prisoner of the moment.

347
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: Luca was amazing. Dallas looked great. But I think we

348
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 2: got a long way to go in this Mavericks series

349
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: with the Tea Wolves.

350
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: What say you?

351
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

352
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: nine nine six six three six nine, Listen, we got

353
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: a full crew. I had to get that out on

354
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. I had to get that out on Anthony Edwards.

355
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: But we're we're talking more about the NBA Playoffs, including

356
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 2: the Celtics Pacers game that's coming up, including re capping

357
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: the one O nine, one O eight win for the

358
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: Maps tonight. We had a fantastic finish in hockey. The

359

388
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 11: Kaitlyn Clark getting their first victory. I know you talked

389
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 11: a little bit about that and saying it's not necessarily

390
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 11: your biggest thing, but also acknowledging that, hey, it is

391
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 11: a big deal for those who is a big deal

392
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 11: for So that's right.

393
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: See, that's the thing that listen. Can I say something

394
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: real quick? Gumpy Dave, piss off?

395
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know how else to put it, but

396
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 2: you if you think that this opening segment was sad, bro,

397
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: you retweet Grateful Dead songs all day long and you

398
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: talk about Alabama football, I should be your favorite dude.

399
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: But stop. Okay, I don't need this on my conscious tonight.

400
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna like different stuff. I don't care about going

401
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: in depth on fighting over Caitlyn Clark or even Anthony Edwards.

402
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: I think this is gonna be a fun series, to

403
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 2: be honest with you, I really do. And I don't

404
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 2: know about Pacers into Celtics, Rick carl I think he's

405
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: lost his mind.

406
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 3: I don't know what he's doing over there right now,

407
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: Kevin Figures.

408
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna sit here and lose my mind

409
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: over every single movement of Caitlin Clark and if it

410
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: means she's overhyped or under hyped or how mad everyone else,

411
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't care. I like watching her play and I'm

412
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: not gonna sit there and lose my mind over Anthony

413
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: Edwards based on a couple of bad playoff performances. Just

414
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: just maybe I'm maybe I'm just built different, Kevin Figures.

415
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what this is about.

416
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 11: You're the wrong space, you know, That's right, That's what

417
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 11: it is. This is a hot take space here, Chris,

418
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 11: that's what you've got to come up with, hotter. Okay,

419
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 11: are you ready?

420
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 3: Here's one.

421
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't think Anthony Edwards is ever gonna make another

422
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: shot in the history of the NBA.

423
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: Jordanny hot let me talk. I think we're getting this down, yeah, right, figure, Okay,

424
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 3: I think we can do this if we wanted to.

425
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: We got this.

426
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, who's run this show is always good. H

427
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: I still say good evening on the West Coast. I

428
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: had good evening, absolutely orient.

429
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got another thirty minutes.

430
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 3: Thirty more minutes.

431
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 12: Uh.

432
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 2: And Mark, of course is running the show. Mark Ramsey,

433
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: good morning. I uh, I say good morning because I'm

434
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 2: in the Central time zone. This is the worst time

435
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 2: zone for this show. It's one to five am, the

436
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: time that nobody wants to be up. But I love it.

437
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: I love it for and I guess we're.

438
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: Only one to four, right, We're only three hours show tonight?

439
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, just three hours, Okay.

440
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: I think I can handle that. I think I can.

441
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: If that's okay with you, Gunna be day now.

442
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 2: Before we get to the calls, Kevin, your opinion, your thought, uh,

443
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: your takeaways from the one O nine to one O

444
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: eight win for the MAVs tonight. Impressive performance from our guy,

445
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: uh luka doncic And I'll tell you what Kyrie Irvan's

446
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: been in pretty good here.

447
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 3: I think it's been quiet.

448
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: I think it's been kind of a low key storyline

449
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: until Dallas gets to this point and people realize, Oh,

450
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: that's right. Remember when they went to get Kyrie last

451
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: year and they weren't in the playoff mix, and everyone thought,

452
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 2: what are they doing? And they're building for this season. Well,

453
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: looks like it's worked out pretty well.

454
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 13: Yo.

455
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 11: Everybody said, that's a disaster. You basically have two guys

456
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 11: who are ball howks who want to shoot the ball

457
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 11: left and right and don't play any defense. Now, neither

458
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 11: of them play defense that well still, but they've put

459
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 11: people together in infrastructure around them. With Gaffer in Washington,

460
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 11: those are two big pickups at the deadline that helped

461
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 11: them defensively, and they helped Minnesota. So I believe forty

462
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 11: percent shooting on the night. So even as great Luka

463
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 11: Daci has had great playoff performances in the past, so

464
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 11: I'm not necessarily as surprised that he played as well

465
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 11: as he played. I am kind of a I'm kind

466
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 11: of surprised at how poorly Karl Anthony town has played

467
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 11: so much so that he wasn't even a factor in

468
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 11: the second half.

469
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: They didn't even play him. Yeah, what do you end

470
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 2: up playing tonight? Let me see, I got the box guy.

471
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: He only played twenty six minutes incredible. He was four

472
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: to sixteen from the floor. Now go behar shot the ball.

473
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: Well, but I mean he's he's some fun one.

474
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 11: Well he shoots from you know, three feet away, he

475
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 11: should And I realized Nasried had it, you know what's

476
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 11: on fire, especially in the first half. So maybe it

477
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 11: was the you know, he was writing they were riding

478
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 11: the hot hand by Karl. Anthony Towns is one of

479
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 11: your best players, one of the one of the faces

480
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 11: of your franchise. For him to not be basically seen

481
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 11: for the majority of the third late and the third

482
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 11: quarter into the fourth is incredible.

483
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: I've seen this replay of Lucas game winning shot about

484
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 2: a thousand times now, Yeah, and I don't think I

485
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: can watch it enough. I mean it's just fantastic. I

486
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: mean fun, it's great, it's great basketball. I mean it's

487
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: over you know, one of the best defenders in the

488
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: entire league. I mean, that's that's incredible.

489
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: You buy that he's speaking absolutely not. You know, I

490
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: don't think that's Lavinian.

491
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 11: You know, sometimes languages, you know, kind of meshed together

492
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 11: a little bit. There's a little bit of a crossover,

493
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 11: so you know what, there's a little bit of Spanish

494
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 11: and Italian here and there. I don't know if there's

495
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 11: a little bit of English and Slovenian. So and I'm

496
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 11: not a looking expert lip reader, but I have to

497
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 11: think that I'm fairly decent at it. And I'm I'm

498
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 11: pretty sure that didn't look like Seleni into me.

499
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: I felt pretty good about it too.

500
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: That's why I said that he even have like ten

501
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: different people look at a clip, yeah, come away with

502
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: what they think they said from a lip reader's perspective.

503
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: I think I got pretty clear indication on that one,

504
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: and I love it. Though. I love the trash talk,

505
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: you know, getting into it.

506
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 11: You know, I think that a little bit of that

507
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 11: to a certain degree is lost in today's NBA. A

508
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 11: lot of these guys are Buddy, Buddy and Luca. Luca

509
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 11: came from overseas. He didn't come up in the AAU

510
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 11: circuit with all these guys, so it's a little bit different,

511
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 11: a different bit of an edge. And to your point

512
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 11: on Anthony Edwards, people freaking out of the fact that

513
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 11: he hasn't played well these last couple of games. Guys

514
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 11: need time. This is his first deep playoff run in

515
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 11: his entire career. He's only twenty's what is he twenty

516
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 11: two or twenty three years old? I mean Kobe Bryant

517
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 11: struggled his first couple of playoffs too. Luka Daucik struggled

518
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 11: his first couple of playoffs. But this is people think

519
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 11: that Luka Doncik just burst onto the scene this last year.

520
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 11: He's been in the league for what six years now,

521
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 11: like nobody just comes on. And we can parallel this

522
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 11: to Caitlin Clark as well. For as much as expectations

523
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 11: were placed on her shoulders, she's a rookie. She's gonna struggle.

524
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 11: It doesn't mean she's going to be god awful in

525
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 11: her career is terrible and she all the hype train

526
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 11: is over. It means she's a rookie playing against grown

527
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 11: women who she hasn't played against. We are more physical.

528
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 11: Once she grows into it a little bit, gets a

529
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 11: little bit more experience, I'm sure she'll improve, just like

530
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 11: I'm sure Anthony Edwards will improve.

531
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: Okay, we got a table the NBA when we come back.

532
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 3: I actually know what I don't want to say.

533
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: Eight seven to seven ninety nine out of Fox Stephen

534
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: in Kansas City, Dan in Los Angeles. I'm gonna get

535
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,439

Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean now, Caleb Williams might not even start

541
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: for Chicago. Kenny Pickett's going to be in a quarterback

582
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,680

610
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 4: Caitlin thank for Youah, go ahead, Well, what what was

611
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 4: important about this week is that Charles Barkley had a

612
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 4: Sister Soldier moment where he had to take the young

613
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,680

00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 4: Angel Reese to kind of shut their traps because they

615
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 4: should be on their hands and knees praising Caitlin. That

616
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 4: they're selling out the Staples, the Staples Center, and that's

Speaker 4: needs to not be a coward. She needed to lean

619
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 4: into this thing. You know that between Caitlin and her,

620
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 4: the reason the NBA took off. The NBA was a

621
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: dead league full of drug abusers until Magic Johnson and

622
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 4: Larry Bird came in there. Larry Bird was the dirtiest

623
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 4: tart trash talker in the world, the hick from French Lick,

624
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 4: the garbage man, and then Magic. Everybody loved Magic Johnson.

625
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 4: Everybody wanted to be Magic Johnson. But but we care

626
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: because we watched the story from college. We wanted to

627
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 4: see how it can listen. I admit I flipped over

628
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 4: to Cayln Clark. I watched the w NBA for the

629
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 4: first time in my LIFETI because I want to see

630
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 4: how the story ends. I want to see the dirty debutante,

631
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 4: Angel Reach or cam or whoever whoever's playing against Kaylen.

632
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 4: I don't Caitlin could lose twenty games in a row.

633
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 4: You you're emostly invested in the in the players, I don't.

634
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 4: I don't care what Brianna Stewart does. I don't care

635
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 4: about any of these other I hate to say it,

636
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: but they're sort of side players. You're mostly invested in

637
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 4: these characters. I mean, does that does that kind of

638
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: clarify thing.

639
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: I see your perspective, Steven, Hey, thanks for the call, buddy,

640
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: appreciate the perspective of hope you have a great night.

641
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: I just don't.

642
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: I don't care who gets the credit for where the

643
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: w NBA is going, or where it's been or where

644
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: it is. Time pretty much dictates who ends up getting

645
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: all the shine. There's going to be endorsement deals that

646
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: will be I think plentiful to support enough people. But

647
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 2: in the end, Caitlin Clark's the reason why there's a

648
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: lot of buzzer. I don't think that's too debatable. I

649
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: think that's the easiest I think that's one of the

650
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: easiest things to fit. I don't even know why people

651
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: are trying to fight about it.

652
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: It's the easiest thing to figure out.

653
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: Ever, if there was no Caitlin Clark and it was

654
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: just Angel rees and be like, oh, that's cool, good

655
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: for Angel rees An, ESPN would cram it down your

656
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: throats because they have the rights and that's what they do.

657
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 2: But Caitlin Clark has taking this to where we are

658
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: talking about it on Fox Sports Radio, and that's why.

659
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: I, like I said, Steven, I don't care who gets

660
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 3: the credit. K think.

661
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't want to see this stupid petty arguing that's

662
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: going on. I just want to watch your play. I

663
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: just want to watch your play. I don't need drama around.

664
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 2: I've got two daughters. I've got a fifteen year old

665
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: and a ten year old. I got enough drama in

666
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: my life.

667
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 11: That's what it is, man. Yeah, So for those of

668
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 11: us that don't have to deal with that, you know

669
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 11: this is great. Yeah, you eat all of this up.

670
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 11: You know, the ladies going after each other, talking a

671
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 11: little bit of trash. I mean, this is kind of

672
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 11: what she want on a professional sports to a certain degree. Now,

673
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 11: the criticism of Kaitlyn Clark and all the hate that

674
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 11: she's getting is a little bit over the top. And

675
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 11: she can't control any of that. She's just out there

676
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 11: playing basketball.

677
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: You know.

678
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 11: That's the big issue is it's not people act as

679
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 11: if she brought this on herself somehow.

680
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: She's just trying to play. No, how dare she she?

681
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: What be good at basketball?

682
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: All right?

683
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan is in La. You get the last word

684
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: this hour, or at least this segment.

685
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 3: What's going on? Dan, Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.

686
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 15: Plank just wanted to talk about that that meltdown by

687
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 15: the Tea Wolves, and I had money on them up

688
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 15: before the playoffs. I had them of the Celtics. So

689
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 15: I'm feeling good. One of my bets is gonna win

690
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 15: on hopefully anyway.

691
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 3: Do you haven't the championship game or do you have

692
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 3: him to win it all?

693
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 15: To win it all, I put money down before. I

694
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 15: feel pretty good at Dallas. Is scaring me, man with

695
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 15: the way they're playing right now, but just the Timberwolves

696
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 15: completely inexcusable. To have that that stiff Gobert out there

697
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 15: one on one with the Island with Luka. You cannot

698
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 15: have it. That's terrible coaching. You should have been off

699
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 15: the floor at that time. You knew they were gonna

700
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 15: attack them. They they've been killing them down the stretch.

701
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 15: That's how they won Game one, And for some reason,

702
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 15: Vince refuses to sub them out. Have nov Reid out there,

703
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 15: who's more versatile defender, even though Rudy Gobert is a

704
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 15: four time Defensive Player of the Year, which is to me,

705
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 15: I know he's Tallid because he puts up stats. He's

706
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 15: not He's not the defensive player of the Year to me.

707
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 15: Anthony Davis is much more of a better defensive player

708
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 15: than him. But that's the side point this terrible coaching

709
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 15: at that point, just like Game one, down the stretch,

710
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 15: you have a guy like Mike Conley who has made

711
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 15: it to the West Final, there's a reliables get and

712
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 15: you're putting the ball in Anthony Edwards hand, who's not

713
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 15: at this point a great ball handler, throws away the

714
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 15: ball or taking batchouts. So the Timberwolves should be kicking themselves.

715
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 15: They should be up two to zero in this series,

716
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 15: and because of their own damn soap and flipping and airs,

717
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 15: they lost that game. Just like the Pacers at Game one.

718
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 15: You're a five points with a minute to go. There's

719
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 15: no excuse in hell. When you're a good team, you

720
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 15: should lose that game. But luckily for them, it seems

721
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 15: like they're better on the road than are at home.

722
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 15: If you can win in Denver three times, which is

723
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 15: one of the toughest places to win at mile high altitude,

724
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 15: I don't want to hear about being tired because they're

725
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 15: playing in Denver is way harder to play in any

726
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 15: other venue, because that I've been there, man, it really

727
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 15: takes it out of so uh, if this series is

728
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 15: not over, I should think they can win it. They

729
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 15: they've shown they're playing better at home for some reason

730
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 15: than they do at home on the road, so I

731
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 15: wouldn't be surprised if this is too too. But finally,

732
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 15: just credit to Dallas man. The it's rare that, you know,

733
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 15: when you pick up two guys at the deadline. The

734
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 15: additions of PJ. Wathingtont Gabber has been spectacular. Dallas doesn't

735
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 15: get out of the first round without those two guys.

736
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 15: Those guys have been setacular and Kyrie has finally, you know,

737
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 15: become normal again, and Luca's playing well so and this

738
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 15: Dollas seems legit. Man, Derek lightly out a duke. He's

739
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 15: much better than I thought he would be. So this

740
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 15: Dallas team, man, if they can keep it together, they're

741
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 15: going to be a contender for long time because they

742
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 15: got size atlic ability. If Kyree can keep his head

743
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 15: on the straight and narrow, they're gonna We'll see how

744
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 15: it plays out, but I still think Minnesota pulled this

745
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 15: out in seven I hope anyway, And we'll see how

746
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 15: it plays out.

747
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 2: Thanks for the time, man, see you Dan for the

748
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: sake of your bet I hope they do all right

749
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: when we come back to the Ti rack dot Com studios.

750
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,319

Speaker 3: I'm at playing show.

752
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: I guess we need to I need to transition at

753
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: some point to calling it acts. But uh, if I

00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 12: I'm sorry, man, the better team won the last two

773
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 12: games period scoreboard. Okay, so you lose an eighteen point lead,

774
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 12: you don't. Just that's just how basketball goes. And I

775
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 12: will tell you this are the four teams that are left.

776
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 12: I would take Dallas over Boston, human over Boston. Just

777
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 12: is just a vibe. And as a Laker fan, one

778
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 12: last thing that really irritating. I'm seeing the Dallas had,

779
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 12: which what the Lakers had when they won. I know

780
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 12: who's the bubble championship, but what do the Lakers have?

781
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 12: Down load two big, two dominating bigs Lively and Gaffert Lakers.

782
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 12: You know, Jabelle McGee and Dwight Howard makes a difference,

783
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 12: doesn't it when you got that kind of that kind

784
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 12: of length download in the playoffs?

785
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 2: No, certainly help absolutely, Solomon, great point, great phone call.

786
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: I appreciate.

787
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're going to see a shift

788
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: k Fig and the way that teams build their rosters'

789
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is the return of the

790
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 2: big man. I guess we'll see where Zach Eady gets drafted.

791
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 2: But there is one thing that's pretty obvious. All teams

792
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: that are vying for the NBA Finals right now have

793
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: a have a pretty good five that's a solid rim protector.

794
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 2: Two in Dallas, two in Minnesota, what one and a

795
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 2: half in Boston too, And in Indiana you got.

796
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: Rim protectors out there. Yeah, a solid rim protector for sure.

797
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 11: But I don't know if the going back to the

798
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 11: days of the back to the basket a chem Olajiuan

799
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 11: feel O'Neil type, you know what I mean.

800
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: That's not and I always thought that.

801
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 11: Look, a lot of the better teams, even throughout the

802
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 11: course of these most recent years where it's more of

803
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 11: a wings league and less about emphasis on the big man,

804
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 11: you still have quality big men who feel a great

805
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 11: role and being able to rebound, being able to block

806
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 11: shots and clog up the plane, having the versatility to

807
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 11: be able to Look. We talk about the great shot

808
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 11: that Luka Danci hit over Rudy Gobert. Rudy Gobert was

809
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 11: right in his face like that was that was excellent defense.

810
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 11: You know, you just didn't have those sorts of players

811
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 11: back in the day. So yes, I think the big

812
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 11: man is still here. It's just in a little bit

813
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 11: of a different role where the emphasis is on defense, rebounding,

814
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 11: and versatility as opposed to having your back to the basket.

815
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: Which would be kind of funny if all of a sudden,

816
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, JJ Reddick is hired by the

817
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 2: Lakers and they're like, all right, Anthony Davis's gonna start

818
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: backing down. We're gonna just post him up, go kareem

819
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: back in the day. Baby, it ain't happen. I'm just

820
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: it's hilarious to me that it's hilarious to me that

821
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: sometimes I think we overthink things, and Dallas, to their credit, didn't.

822
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 2: They just went out and made some smart moves. And listen,

823
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 2: here's one I think we're gonna hear me say bottom

824
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: line like eight thousand times tonight. But bottom line, in

825
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: this everything opens up because Luca hit shots, Kyrie attacks,

826
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 2: and PJ. Washington hit shots.

827
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 3: That's it.

828
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got great rimp protectors, they got guys that

829
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 2: can grab boards. But as long as Washington and Lucas

830
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 2: hitting shots, that opens up something for everyone. All right,

831
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: MAVs are up two games to none. We'll preview a

832
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 2: little bit of the Pacers and the Knicks coming up

833
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 2: later on in the program. But when we come back,

834
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: I am very triggered by the NFL offseason. I'm very

835
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 2: triggered by ot A coverage. We'll talk about it next

836
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: to get to in the next couple of hours in

849
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: the program, some NFL talk. I want to talk about

850
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley and his take on TNT in the future

851
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: of the NBA TV package.

852
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: By the way, Kate fake Click.

853
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 2: Is I don't know if Kevin has is having to

854
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: do other updates stuff, but are you surprised to see

855
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: the reaction to the new NBA TV deal, or at

856
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 2: least the rumors of it, and how upset people are

857
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: about it being taken away from TNT, not because they

858
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 2: think the broadcast is so amazing or anything of that nature,

859
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: it's just they're gonna miss inside the NBA. I mean it,

860
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 2: It's got to be one of the most amazing reactions

861
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 2: to a TV deal that I think I've ever seen. Which,

862
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 2: by the way, the TV deal, what the ink's not

863
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: even dry yet, is it not?

864
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 3: In the least bit.

865
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 11: It hasn't been announced yet. Now it's all rumor and

866
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 11: conjecture at this point. But I mean, look, Charles Barkley's

867
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 11: going out and taking public shots at TNT and.

868
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 3: Turner, you know, for not you know, pointing up. So,

869
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 3: I mean, am I surprised?

870
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 4: No?

871
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 11: I mean, for years, this this this setup has been

872
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 11: seen as kind of the gold standard as far as

873
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 11: studio shows, despite the fact, Chris that when it comes

874
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 11: to actual to actually talking about the sport, they.

875
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 3: Do very little of it. You know.

876
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, if you are a basketball analysis, you're not going

877
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 11: to the TNT crew. That's kind of how it's always work.

878
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 11: How it's always been, especially since Shaq jumped in here

879
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 11: and Charles Barrok just kind of rip each other for

880
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 11: a while. They have, they played practical jokes every single night.

881
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 11: It's basically like an entertainment show or a variety show

882
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 11: wrapped around basketball with basketball being the background theme.

883
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: That's kind of how I look at it. Yeah, I

884
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: mean it's different. Here's nothing. I like Charles Barklay a lot.

885
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: I like Charles Barkley talking basketball.

886
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 3: That's about it.

887
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't the CNN show failed. I think

888
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,479
Speaker 2: he's funny. I get a kid and I like watching

889
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 2: him play golf. But we don't need to be taking

890
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 2: this beyond Kenny the Jet Smith, Shaq, Charles Barkley and Ernie.

891
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a good basketball show. But I think

892
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 2: it's a I think it's a credit to what they've built.

893
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 2: I think it's a credit to their unique slant because

894
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've quite seen a reaction like this.

895
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 2: Kfig to the idea, nothing official yet, but the idea

896
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 2: that a show might be going away.

897
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, it tells you that people actually have really

898
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 11: good perspective on what a good or at least entertaining

899
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 11: product is because what's the old saying is like you

900
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 11: never appreciate something until it's gone. But a hell of

901
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 11: a lot of appreciating over the last two weeks, that's

902
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 11: for damn sure, because people know exactly, you know, what

903
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 11: this show has been, what it's meant.

904
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: And then the chemistry between all of them is the

905
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 3: big thing.

906
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 11: Like, even as funny as Chuck is, and I agree,

907
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 11: you know, his hilarity, all of that is really under

908
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 11: the guise of basketball is really where it shines. I

909
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 11: don't know if you and I didn't watch this n

910
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 11: N show, so I really can't speak to it too much,

911
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 11: but yeah, you really want to kind of keep him

912
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 11: in his lane when he's goofing on other players or

913
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 11: saying he doesn't know what team someone plays for and

914
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 11: all that stuff. It falls right into his wheelhouse and

915
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 11: it just works. So the interesting thing is, you know,

916
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 11: if and when this deal gets done and Turner no

917
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 11: longer has the rights to the NBA, what happens to

918
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 11: Shaq and Kenny and Charles Barkley. And it sounds as

919
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 11: if Ernie Johnson might be hanging him up at this point,

920
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 11: So you just wonder what happens to the rest of

921
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 11: the crew, and even if they brought that crew together,

922
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 11: just hypothetically speaking Chris to NBC or wherever the rights

923
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 11: would go to, you have to find somebody who can

924
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 11: replace Ernie, who for as understated as Ernie is, he's

925
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 11: kind of the engine that makes that thing and go.

926
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 11: And anybody that's ever sat at a desk or hosted before,

927
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 11: you know, knows how important someone in that role is.

928
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 11: And Alex Charles Barkley will tell you how important Ernie

929
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 11: is to what they do.

930
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 3: So that will be the interesting thing for me to see.

931
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 2: So we got a lot more on the NBA and

932
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: it's TV deal coming up later in the program. In

933
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 2: the games MAVs win one, O nine and one away,

934
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 2: we'll hear more post game from Luca and Jason Kidd

935
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: and obviously Anthony Edwards. Everyone is on a oh Anthony

936
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 2: Edwards sucks, which is hilarious to me. Part of the

937
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 2: problem is, I do we naturally do this by the way,

938
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like every year we have a

939
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 2: player that we we use some sort of insane comparison

940
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: to and it doesn't always pan out. I mean, we're

941
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 2: a couple of years removed from Donovan Mitchell being the

942
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: next great point guard that's undersize, and Alan Iverson couldn't

943
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 2: do things he did, and now all of a sudden

944
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: he's trying to get out of Cleveland. You know, we

945
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 2: kind of did it with Russ Oh. He plays with

946
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: a reckless abandon and then you well, calm down. He

947
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: kind of sucks. You know, it's just every I wish

948
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 2: we would calm down in our comps. I'm not a

949
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: big comp guy. Yeah, everyone's different for each era. It's okay.

950
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 2: It's okay for someone to not be Michael Jordan. I mean,

951
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 2: he's the goat. He's the greatest basketball player that's ever

952
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: played the games. So it's okay that a guy that

953
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 2: is playing in his hold On You Chick first, real

954
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 2: true playoff run might have a couple of bad games.

955
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: But kay figure and I will get into a little

956
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: bit more on Anthony Edwards coming up later on in

957
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: the program, But let me spend a couple of minutes

958
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 2: here just on a little football talk. Every Sunday night,

959
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: I do a show here on Fox Sports Radio. I've

960
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: been lucky to do it for a while, from eleven

961
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 2: p to two A with Arnie Spanier and we talk

962
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 2: a lot of football. It's the greatest slot to truly

963
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: have during the football season because you get the first

964
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: reaction to the day that was in football, right, You

965
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: get to hear all the post games sound. It's a

966
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 2: fun show. I hope I get to do it for

967
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: the rest of my life. But Arnie, you know I

968
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 2: was talking about I'm not real big on legacy conversations,

969
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 2: and I don't care who's mad at Caitlin Clark and.

970
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 3: Who gets the credit for it. Arnie very much is.

971
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 2: And uh he changes his mind every week, which is

972
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: enraging Kevin, enraging h He'll have one opinion one week

973
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 2: and a completely different opinion the next.

974
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 11: Week, and it'll just eat impossible, makes it think, makes

975
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 11: you think that you forgot what he said. It's like you,

976
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 11: I realized what you said last week. You're just make

977
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 11: him this up. He's like I need talking about. I've

978
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 11: been there before with him too, Thankfully not as often

979
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 11: as you are, because it does get extremely frustrating.

980
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 2: The man's go to phrase is don't hold my words

981
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 2: against me. Yeah, so this week, this week, Arnie, who also,

982
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: I think he'll even be the first one that admits

983
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: to it. Falls for a lot of fake accounts. Oh yeah,

984
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 2: sends me this tweet. I'm again, I'm kind of a

985
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 2: sucker for the aggregators, the mL Footballs of the world, old,

986
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: the NFL rmrs, just because they make so much stuff up,

987
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: the dove climbans and then they'll take a quote and

988
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: completely and totally misconstrue it and we just all eat

989
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: it up like crazy.

990
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 3: Right.

991
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 2: Well, this was one that I couldn't help it. Laugh

992
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 2: at the siren. The siren on the front means it's

993
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 2: a big tweet that's coming out, guys. Report Bears rookie

994
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 2: quarterback Caleb Williams struggled mightily today with the starters with

995
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 2: many near interceptions. Williams completed just three passes in seven

996
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 2: on sevens. Most of the passes were completed to the

997
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 2: flat and Williams held onto the ball for a long

998
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 2: time per something called c hgo Underscore Bears. I would

999
00:48:54,239 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 2: challenge anyone anyone that wants to try to make the

1000
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 2: bold proclamations in the OTAs or I don't know, hook

1001
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 2: a few people for clicks and likes or whatever gets

1002
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 2: you paid by X.

1003
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1004
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: Go read about Patrick Mahomes first practices whenever he took

1005
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 2: over as the starting quarterback in Kansas City, not as

1006
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: rookie year, not as rookie year, No, no, no, one

1007
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 2: year in and how things were looking in camp. I

1008
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: mean they were freaking out in Kansas City. And you

1009
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 2: know this too, Chiefs fan right now, you can laugh

1010
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 2: about it, but oh my gosh, he's a turnover machine.

1011
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 3: He's thrown so many interceptions.

1012
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 2: We I love it, Kevin Figures because I'm an NFL

1013
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 2: fan and anything I get as far as NFL content,

1014
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna eat up. But I don't know

1015
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 2: if this is healthy for us right now. It's kind

1016
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: of one of those things where I wonder, are we

1017
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: gonna make it to the season? Are we gonna be Okay?

1018
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: Has someone done a favorite sandwich show or what's your

1019
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 2: favorite pizza place? Because I almost feel like that's a

1020
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: little bit healthier for us than trying to diagnose exactly

1021
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 2: what type of NFL player that Caleb Williams is going

1022
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 2: to be based on his performance and what are we

1023
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: up to? Maybe four organized team activities right now?

1024
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1025
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 14: No?

1026
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 11: Or yeah, just helmets, guys, not going against anybody. You

1027
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 11: can't touch anybody it's but see the problem because this

1028
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 11: happens every single year, and there Jones in for football

1029
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 11: so badly that people will grasp anything that they possibly

1030
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 11: can try to get clickbait, try to get conversations going.

1031
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 11: I respect it to a certain degree, but to your point,

1032
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 11: I'm over it. I don't pay any attention to it.

1033
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 11: I don't need somebody telling me. Man, Joe Walt is

1034
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 11: really killing it right now. Is because he can't touch anybody.

1035
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 11: You don't say, all right, whatever you say. So I

1036
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 11: just try to block these things out as much as

1037
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 11: I possibly can.

1038
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 3: You know, give the NFL a little bit of a break.

1039
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 11: Look, if we want to cover these guys, interview, get

1040
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 11: the you know, pick their brains, see what they think

1041
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 11: about being in camp, being pros for the first time

1042
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 11: for the rookies. Fine, but I can't glean anything from

1043
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 11: any practice when guys are running against air, not even

1044
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 11: wearing pads.

1045
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 3: What are we talking about.

1046
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: I've been on the road a lot this week during

1047
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 2: Jason and Mike's show Jason Smith and Mike Harmon here

1048
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. And you know how people say

1049
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 2: I had to swerve my car back on the road. Yes,

1050
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 2: so I was driving last night, and I can't find

1051
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 2: this one anywhere, so I don't know where Jason found it,

1052
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: but he said there was an account that was talking

1053
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 2: about how well Kenny Pickett had been playing in practice

1054
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 2: and that there is some theories going around that we

1055
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 2: could see both Picket and Jalen Hurts playing a game.

1056
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 3: Now, I'm not at Eagles practice.

1057
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what the conversations are like, but I

1058
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 2: know this much Kenny Picket sucks, So I just I

1059
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 2: can't even fathom that. And I listen, I'm not I

1060
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 2: wasn't the biggest Jalen Hurts guy coming out of college,

1061
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 2: all right. I saw him play a senior guy, and

1062
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 2: he's my guy. He's his sooner, right, I'll go to

1063
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 2: the mattress Is. Whenever Baker came out, whenever Kyler Murray

1064
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 2: came out, I'll fight you for them.

1065
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 3: But Jalen, I was like, ugh, you know, we'll see. Well.

1066
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 2: I like him nothing. He was always great to me,

1067
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 2: so he's been a big Wow.

1068
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm like this guy.

1069
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: He is a franchise quarterback who in their right mind

1070
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 2: would watch Kenney Pickett come in and say, you know what,

1071
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 2: we need to take some snaps away for Jalen Hurts

1072
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 2: and get Kenny Picken more involved.

1073
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 11: Now, who are you trying to throw off the trail off?

1074
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 11: But take Katy Pikett back there in the gadget play.

1075
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 11: The defensive lineman are gonna be laughing at you.

1076
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 3: Hey, wait a minute.

1077
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 2: They're gonna take the dual threat quarterback, the guy that

1078
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 2: runs like a full back and put in the turnover machine.

1079
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're fulld man. You got us right now. By

1080
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 3: all means, where do these even come from? Right now?

1081
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 2: I have no idea, So I think there's also this

1082
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 2: part of me that thinks we are We're going to

1083
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 2: head into an NFL season that's going to be incredibly

1084
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 2: unpredictable because I don't know what to think of what

1085
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 2: Miami did this offseason. I have no idea if trading

1086
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 2: Stefon Diggs made the Bills better. I think the Patriots

1087
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 2: are still a ways off. I haven't seen any reports

1088
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 2: about Drake may bouncing balls and practice though, so maybe

1089
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 2: he's lighting it up Kevin. But the Jets one of

1090
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 2: the great unknowns in this league. And that's just one division,

1091
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 2: that's the AFC East, and I feel like there's questions

1092
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,919
Speaker 2: for every single team outside of maybe Kansas City right now.

1093
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 2: And I saw I had news hit us up on

1094
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,959
Speaker 2: Twitter at Plank Show at Fox Sports Radio.

1095
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 3: What are you at? Kfig one? Yes? Hey, I kfig one? Yeah?

1096
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 3: He just he H's.

1097
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 2: Another one of those that's out there where it's hey,

1098
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 2: I'm hearing on the down low, Hollywood Brown is tearing

1099
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 2: it up on the deep routes with Mahomes. Chief's greatest

1100
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: show on turf could be back with a with Xavier Worthy.

1101
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 3: And if for she Rice gets a good attorney.

1102
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 2: I hear the same thing because I'm reading these stupid

1103
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 2: aggregators and you see one highlight of Holly with Brown

1104
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 2: running away from everyone, It's like, oh my gosh, it's

1105
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill. Well there's the problem though, Hollywood Brown another

1106
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 2: guy that I'll go to the mattresses for.

1107
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 3: He hasn't been able to stay healthy.

1108
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 2: And he could have done this in Arizona, he could

1109
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 2: have done this in Baltimore. He couldn't stay on the field.

1110
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 2: Rushie Rice, I don't even I mean, is this guy

1111
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 2: gonna make it to the season? And Zale are Worthy,

1112
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 2: I mean, if you sneeze on him, he might fall down.

1113
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 2: The guy's like a paper clip. So I have no

1114
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: idea what to expect with the receiving Corps as far

1115
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 2: as Kansas City, but a sure is scary from a

1116
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,479
Speaker 2: speed perspective. I just feel like they're the only team

1117
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 2: because they're the back to back champs, they won three

1118
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 2: rings under Patrick Mahomes. I feel like they're the only

1119
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 2: thing that you look at in the AFC and you think,

1120
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 2: all right, they got things figured out. They're good to

1121
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 2: go right now. Cincinnati Burrow's coming off his injury. Can

1122
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 2: Cleveland count on DeShawn Watson right now?

1123
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 3: You know?

1124
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: I know everyone is gaga over CJ. Stroud, but there's

1125
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: typically a bit of a sophomore slump guys go through.

1126
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 2: So I feel like the AFC is as wide open

1127
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: as it's been in a long time. And I'm not

1128
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: just saying that. Kevin to try to create an opportunity

1129
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 2: for the Raiders to be good.

1130
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 11: I don't know how much of an opportunity there is

1131
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 11: for the Raiders to be good, but I do think

1132
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 11: it'll be a very competitive AFC. I think if the

1133
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 11: Raiders can find a way to get themselves between seven

1134
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 11: and nine wins, they'll take it.

1135
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 3: I agree, I'll take it. I'll take it to the bank. Baby.

1136
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 11: Now are you since we're talking OTAs, are you Minshew,

1137
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 11: Mania Guy or Aidan O'Connell.

1138
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 2: Which, okay, well who is What is nfl R mrs

1139
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 2: saying about it? Is there anything from Dove Klimban about

1140
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 2: who's winning the battle right now? Aidan O'Connell having the

1141
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 2: camp of his life? Have we had a good gardner?

1142
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 2: Minshew is in the best shape of his life? Report

1143
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 2: yet have not seen that quite yet? See those are

1144
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 2: my personal favorites. Here's a picture of aj Brown. He

1145
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: is shredded. Have you all seen Aj Brown with his

1146
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 2: shirt off before? Dude's pretty much been shredded his entire career.

1147
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 2: I mean, go back to the picture of.

1148
00:55:59,400 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 3: Who is it?

1149
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 2: It's oh gosh, why am I blanking on the receiver

1150
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 2: for the Seahawks Percy Harvin DK Metcalf, DK Metcalff. Yeah,

1151
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 2: he's the dude of the visual DK Metcalf where they

1152
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 2: both look like they're just absolutely body. Donnis's okay, but

1153
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: always in the best shape of his life? Are we

1154
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 2: two years removed from Ezekiel Elliott being in the best

1155
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 2: shape of his life coming into camp? So until I

1156
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 2: get a report that a and O'Connell is in the

1157
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 2: best shape of his life. I don't know if I

1158
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 2: can buy it right now, but I will say, and

1159
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 2: this is gonna sound weird, I think he looks better

1160
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,439
Speaker 2: in twelve than he did in four. And I don't

1161
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: know why that gives me more confidence in him. It

1162
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 2: makes no sense.

1163
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 11: Well, you have PTSD from Derek Carr, that's what it is.

1164
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 11: So I understand. I love Derek. I thought I didn't think.

1165
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 3: There was anything.

1166
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 2: I thought Derek would have his two bad games a

1167
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 2: year and I'd get used to it and then we'd

1168
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 2: we'd blow things defensively, but maybe.

1169
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 11: Say I've got to go from two to about four.

1170
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 11: But generally speaking, you're right, No, no, no, you're actually

1171
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 11: you're correct. I would go to the four on four

1172
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 11: games where you're just like, huh.

1173
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 3: That's by the way. He did the same thing with

1174
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 3: the same last year.

1175
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and they were freaking amazing at the end of

1176
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 2: the year. But because everyone has that PTSD from those

1177
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 2: four games, I mean, bro, I can tell you the

1178
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 2: four games in his final season with the Raiders like

1179
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: they were yesterday. That that Christmas game against the Steelers.

1180
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 3: Yep, right, when it was cold, he was winfro for

1181
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 3: a wide open touchdown.

1182
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 2: Terrible, but that first drive was so amazing, right that,

1183
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: he went on, I mean, it's just it's it makes them.

1184
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 3: But I think I'm.

1185
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 2: Kind of an A and O'Connell guy right now. I'm

1186
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 2: kind of cool with rolling with the second year guy.

1187
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 2: And not to make this raider talk here on Fox

1188
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, but k FIG, I kind of feel like

1189
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 2: that's what Antonio Pierce seems like.

1190
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 11: He wants, seems like it's right, and I'm fire luck Well,

1191
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 11: he said, look, the kid came in last year and

1192
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 11: played decently. Well, give him a shot to be the

1193
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 11: number one guy coming in, and Garda Minshew has to

1194
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 11: beat him out. I mean, look, we know how weather

1195
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 11: Bread's gonna be buttered. Nobody's gonna drop back and throw

1196
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 11: forty five times a game. If they do, they're they're screwed.

1197
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 11: No matter what they do. They want to win the ball.

1198
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 11: They want to play defense. They beefed up their defensive line,

1199
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 11: so they're hoping their defense is going to take a

1200
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 11: step forward. And Antonio Pierce, I believe, is hoping that

1201
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 11: they they win a lot of games this year. You know,

1202
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 11: twenty one to ten. That's what he's hoping for. Whether

1203
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 11: it will happen or not, we'll have to see.

1204
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm still holding out hope that

1205
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to look up one day and Tom Brady's

1206
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: going to be coming out of retirement to trot onto

1207
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 2: the field. I don't know why I'm still holding on

1208
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 2: to that very very very wweesq. I'm sure we running

1209
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 2: out of the tunnel. I find myself in a really

1210
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 2: really fun spot getting ready for the NFL season because

1211
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 2: to me, I think the AFC outside of the Chiefs

1212
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 2: is incredibly unpredictable. And I think the Bengals are great.

1213
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 2: I think the Bills, I think they're gonna be okay.

1214
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 2: I think the Browns. Is this the year for Deshaun Watson?

1215
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 2: I'd say it's make or break, but my man, his

1216
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 2: contract has him tied to him for so long. Or

1217
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 2: the Texans ready to take a step. Is Trevor Lawrence

1218
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 2: going to be back after having an awful year where

1219
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 2: he battled some injuries?

1220
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 3: I know?

1221
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 2: Are the Chargers going to be better with Jim Harball?

1222
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 2: Could we see Bo Nicks finally galvanize the Denver Broncos

1223
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 2: under Sean Payton. I mean, I just feel like we

1224
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 2: are loaded with so many good storylines in the AFC.

1225
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 11: Well, and you missed while you know who's in the

1226
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 11: best shape of his life. This has already come out.

1227
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 11: Uh oh, Lamar Jackson. Oh that's right. You see that

1228
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 11: Lamar Jackson's lost like nine thousand pounds and he's in

1229
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 11: great shape.

1230
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 3: Because he was so heavy before. I didn't get that.

1231
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 3: It's like, really, he went, Steve McNair out there.

1232
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 2: You know what you saw cut in our in our

1233
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 2: cut sheet that the great jot the editors behind the

1234
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 2: scenes put together and it said Lamar Jackson on weight loss.

1235
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 3: Wait, weight loss?

1236
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 2: What are we doing right now? I mean, who does

1237
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 2: he think he is? Patrick Mahomes walking around with that

1238
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 2: dad bod. All right, when we come back to the

1239
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: tire rack dot Com studios, KFIG, don't go anywhere because

Speaker 2: head coaching job. Shams went on McAfee today had an

1242
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 2: interesting update. We'll dive into it next right here on

01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. All right, it's the Bernie Fratto Show.

1246
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 2: a hole. But it's been a fun night on the

1247
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 2: x at Plank Show at KFIG. One is a great

1248
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,320

Speaker 2: follow us at Fox Sports Radio. Big win tonight for

1250
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 2: the MAVs. They go up two games to none on

1251
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves one nine, one eight, and I got a hit.

1252
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 3: I love the final call.

1253
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 2: I found myself watching a lot of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

1254
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 2: I went back and I was watching the extended highlights.

1255
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 2: But what a call at the end of the Rangers

1256
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 2: game against Florida to even the series at one apiece

1257
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 2: sounded like this courtesy of the New York Rangers.

1258
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 3: I believe radio network.

1259
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Troupa flips it out the center knocked down by Gadrow

1260
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 2: Fine strocheck back out the Parkly good.

1261
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Draw, Parkley good draw.

1262
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 3: It upper time way at time and one.

1263
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 16: It's now a best of vibe as the Rangers win

1264
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 16: it over time to the one.

1265
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 3: I love it.

1266
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 2: We'll have more on that coming up a little bit

1267
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 2: later on in the program. But seeing that you have

1268
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 2: two pretty diehard Dodger, Raider, Laker fans here in Kfigan. Myself,

1269
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 2: I happen to be I guess you could say, cruising

1270
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 2: around the dial today and I saw that Shams was

1271
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 2: giving us a quick update on where the Lakers are

1272
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 2: in their search for a new head coach. This is

1273
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 2: a little longer, so you know, Shams always gives you

1274
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 2: good detail, but stay with it. We find out exactly

1275
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 2: who's looking like the number one choice for the Lakers

1276
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 2: right now, who.

1277
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 17: We got, because where they're standing is they've started their

1278
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 17: coaching interviews. I'm told last week the Lakers met with

1279
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 17: JJ Redick in Chicago at the Draft combine. They met

1280
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 17: for an extended period of time to really get to

1281
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 17: know him and spend time with him, and he was

1282
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 17: the first candidate to really do a face to face meeting.

1283
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 17: And then they brought in James Brego in La on Monday,

1284
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 17: Sam Cassell, David Adelman, Mike and Norri. Chris Quinn is

1285
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 17: going to get an interview as well in La. So

1286
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 17: they're finishing up their first round of interviews this week.

1287
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 17: Next week, I believe they're going to start their second

1288
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 17: phase in this process, get more conversations with candidates, get

1289
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 17: more maybe basketball centric conversations in I think a lot

1290
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 17: of it now will surface level. But going into this

1291
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 17: process and right now, my sense is that JJ Redick,

1292
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 17: I mean, he is the guy around the league that

1293
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 17: everyone believes is the front runner for this job.

1294
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 3: He's in position.

1295
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 17: I think there's an infatuation with JJ Redick right now

1296
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 17: just in terms of his ability for right now, but

1297
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 17: also being a coach that the Lakers going to have

1298
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 17: for years and years to come. That's someone who's obviously

1299
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 17: young enough in the industry, young enough in the space

1300
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 17: where you feel like you have a four or five

1301
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 17: maybe six year runway with a guy like JJ Reddick

1302
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 17: as your head coach, where now you have him command

1303
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 17: the respect of a Lebron James and Anthony Davis. But listen,

1304
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 17: this is Anthony Davis's team moving forward. He's the one

1305
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 17: who's thirty one in the prime of his career. So

1306
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 17: how can whether's JJ Redick or another coach just you know,

1307
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 17: dictate how you're going to revolve your game plan around

1308
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 17: Anthony Davis. I think that's going to be an important part.

1309
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 17: But I think they're process is going to continue. Lebron

1310
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 17: James is going to continue to watch how that goes,

1311
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 17: He's going to continue to watch how they even more importantly,

1312
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 17: how they manage their roster.

1313
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 2: All Right, you and I, if you went back exactly

1314
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 2: seven days route this rot this same time, probably we

1315
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 2: were having a conversation about this, okay, fig we were

1316
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 2: talking about the Lakers head coaching search, which at that

1317
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 2: time had been in incredibly quiet. Now, according to sham Shrania,

1318
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 2: there is a little movement here in that. I guess

1319
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 2: there's no change because it seems as if this is

1320
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick's job right now, if he wants it, is

1321
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 2: that worry you.

1322
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 3: Worry? I don't know if it worries me. I think

1323
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 3: it's sad.

1324
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 11: Might be the wrong word to use, but this is

1325
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 11: the Los Angeles Lakers job with one of the greatest

1326
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 11: players in the history of the sport, Lebron James, and

1327
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 11: one of the greatest players at least over the last decade,

1328
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 11: in Anthony Davis, when he's healthy, and you're kind of

1329
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 11: scraping the bottom of the barrel. This is no disrespect

1330
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 11: to JJ Reddick, but no head coaching experience, no assistant

1331
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 11: coaching experience. You're talking about a bunch of assistant coaches

1332
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 11: who haven't had a lot of experience, James Brego flamed

1333
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 11: out in Charlotte.

1334
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 3: There's just not a lot of umph to it.

1335
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 11: And now, granted you could say there aren't a lot

1336
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 11: of top candidates out there either, so it's fair enough.

1337
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 11: But usually for a job of this magnitude, with players

1338
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 11: like this, of this profile on a roster, you're usually

1339
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 11: aiming a little bit higher, at least from a perception

1340
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 11: standpoint than what they're doing right now.

1341
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 3: I you know, I'm going to justify it at some point, right,

1342
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we all will. Yeah.

1343
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 2: I mean, as a fan, you'll sit around and I

1344
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 2: think the one that made me laugh the most was

1345
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 2: when people would be dogging Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow sucks,

1346
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 2: He's terrible. Then all of a sudden, your team ends

1347
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 2: up drafting him. You're like, well, you know, you work

1348
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 2: on that arm angle a little bit. He loves God.

1349
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe there could be something here. We got

1350
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 2: Jesus on our side. That's always good. But I don't know.

1351
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I I don't like re cycling old coaches

1352
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 2: throughout the league. I mean, I'm just I'm watching the

1353
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 2: search that's going on in a couple of places, and

1354
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm in shock by some of the names

1355
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 2: that are still being brought up for these jobs. So

1356
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 2: I do kind of like the creativity of thinking, hey,

1357
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 2: why not a JJ Reddick. But I thought, and I know,

1358
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 2: we got to get your update here, Kevin, and I

1359
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 2: see poppies on hold, so I'll get it right to you.

1360
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 3: But I don't know. I kind of like the idea that.

1361
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 2: There's this realization within the organization that hey, man, we're

1362
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 2: starting a new era and it's we're slowly kind of

1363
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 2: seeping into it. And it's scary because you know, he said,

1364
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 2: what maybe one one and a half really good healthy

1365
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 2: years with the Lakers. Man, maybe two full healthy years.

1366
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 2: But I kind of like at least that idea that,

1367
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 2: all right, we're not about trying to make Lebron necessarily happy,

1368
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 2: even though he's going to be a part of this

1369
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 2: decision I think, or at least his agency will be.

1370
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 2: At least they're thinking about the future, because I mean,

1371
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 2: Lebron's not gonna play forever. They might be the Donovan

1372
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 2: Mitchell conversation, Trey Young could be in that mix to

1373
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 2: come in this offseason. I don't know, but I do

1374
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 2: know I like the fact that it's not just another

1375
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 2: retrat that the Lakers are looking at.

1376
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean the problem is I think that going

1377
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 11: for you know, the future and all that, I think

1378
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 11: that sort of implied, you know, regardless unless you're hiring

1379
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 11: who he who you know, came back to coach for

1380
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 11: you know, a cup of coffee when he was nine

1381
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 11: thousand years old. Generally speaking, you hire a guy and

1382
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 11: you hope that he has longevity. Darbyn Ham had what

1383
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 11: a four year contract before him, Frank Vogel I think,

1384
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 11: had four or five years, and neither of those guys

1385
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 11: are old. And I'm sure the thought the thought was

1386
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 11: that Frank Vogel would still be the head coach right

1387
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 11: now and that you'd be transitioning out of Lebron, Anthony

1388
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 11: Davis would be there and they go into whatever the

1389
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 11: next iteration is going to look like with the remainder

1390
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 11: of the roster. So the idea that they're doing this

1391
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,919
Speaker 11: with Anthony Davis in the future in mind, I think

1392
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 11: when you hire a head coach you always have a

1393
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 11: four or five year, six year plan at least successful

1394
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 11: organizations do of how this is going to look, how

1395
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 11: this is going to come together. And if you're hiring

1396
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 11: somebody who's in their fifties, you know, forties.

1397
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 3: Whatever it may be.

1398
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 11: You plan on them being there for as long as

1399
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 11: they possibly can, decades up on decades if it actually

1400
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 11: works out that way. So I like the narrative of, Hey,

1401
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 11: we're trying to get ready for you know, post Lebron,

1402
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 11: and JJ's young and he doesn't have a lot of experience,

1403
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 11: but that's a good thing.

1404
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 3: Fine.

1405
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 11: He reminds us of pat Riley, which I think is

1406
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 11: a slap in the face to pat Riley personally. But

1407
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 11: the narrative is kind of getting thrown out there from

1408
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 11: the Laker insiders to try to drum up more interest

1409
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 11: or drum up more credibility for JJ Reddick.

1410
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm not blaming them for it. I understand why they're

1411
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 3: doing it.

1412
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 11: Whether or not I'm buying it, I'll just tell you

1413
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 11: right now, I'm not buying it.

1414
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 3: You know you've got some pool.

1415
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,720

01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 3: Right.

1475
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, Yeah, I was just gonna say, you guys got

1476
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 14: to be like, I sure like snapan careful out there

1477
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 14: because there's a lot of drunk drivers. But you know,

1478
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 14: you know that's gonna say be safe. I wanted to

1479
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 14: talk about basketball, you know, like I have conspiracy theory,

1480
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 14: you know theories, right lebron James, if we were talking

1481
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 14: about that, he's doing everything he wants the buzz on

1482
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 14: the off season. The most important thing what we're not

1483
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 14: talking about is Bronnie James. Rumors in I'm the big

1484
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 14: NBA guru that I'm hearing that Bronnie James he's not

1485
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 14: even gonna get drafted. So my conspiracy theory is he

1486
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 14: won't get drafted. Jennie buzz, We're like, hey, we're gonna

1487
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 14: get Bronnie James lebronn want to be happy. We're putting

1488
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 14: you this Reddick interviews. You know, I know you don't

1489
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 14: want them. We're gonna put someone else which is gonna

1490
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 14: put some buzz. You're like buzz. So they're just doing

1491
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 14: that to make Lebron James happy, which is pretty sad.

1492
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 14: And I'm thinking of Jenny Buss. Okay, why don't you

1493
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 14: get Lebron James to be the coach since you want

1494
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 14: to do that, you save money on him, have him,

1495
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 14: put him under the buzz and let's see what he's

1496
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 14: all good about the coaching decisions and stuff. And I

1497
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 14: would want to see that, see what Lebron James doesn't

1498
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 14: and he's in the backdoor making all the moves. But

1499
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 14: that's my conspiracy theory. But now the NBA, guys, there's

1500
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 14: a great I know I've told you about the Clock Boster.

1501
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 14: If you guys would have been Clock Foster last time.

1502
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 14: You guys want to get that blink bling the best

1503
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 14: NBA ref. But the Indiana Pacers are going to be

1504
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 14: playing today against the Pacers, Cale Burden is not going

1505
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 14: to be there. Minus seven. It should be an easy

1506
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 14: cash for the Celtics. Just wait and see if who

1507
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 14: the revs going to be there. Honestly, I think it's

1508
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 14: going to be Tony Brothers and the NBA Adam Silver.

1509
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 14: He doesn't want to sweet, but I think this period

1510
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 14: is going to be a sweet with the Celtics, like

1511
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 14: not even the Reds are going to help the Indiana Pacers.

1512
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 14: What are you thinking?

1513
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 3: All right?

1514
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 16: Man?

1515
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate your phone call. We do not know

1516
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 2: the refs yet. Referee assignments are posted first thing tomorrow morning,

1517
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:49,599

1518
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 2: see the referee assignments for tomorrow's game, so that way

1519
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 2: you can determine which way you want to bat. Poppy

1520
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 2: Lebron James as a coach, man, I got to be

1521
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 2: honest with you, and Magic Johnson as a head coach

1522
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 2: I always thought was going.

1523
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 3: To be amazing and every since. Let me go down

1524
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 3: the list.

1525
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 2: Here's three guys that I thought were going to be

1526
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 2: amazing head coaches.

1527
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 3: Are you ready?

1528
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson, Michael Cooper and Byron Scott And all three,

1529
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 2: to a varying degree, were kind of terrible at it.

1530
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 2: So I don't really know if I get too caught

1531
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 2: up in the former coach as are the former great

1532
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 2: player as a head coach. I mean, there's role players

1533
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 2: from the NBA that have gone on to be great coach.

1534
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 3: Steve Kerr.

1535
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 2: Steve Kerr was not a superstar in the league by

1536
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 2: any stretch of the imagination, but he's a good head coach.

1537
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that superstars.

1538
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: Have a hard time being head coaches because things, while

1539
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 2: they work hard, and I'm not saying that they they

1540
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 2: don't put in the effort, that's not my point. It's

1541
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 2: just things come easily to them. Things come naturally to them.

1542
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of things that Magic Johnson could

1543
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 2: do and Larry Bird could do. You know, Larry was

1544
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 2: a pretty good coach. Things that Lebron can do that

1545
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 2: just normal people can't that you just can't coach. So

1546
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 2: I've always thought superstars have a really hard time being

1547
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,719
Speaker 2: head coaches in any sport. It's not a full proof plan,

1548
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 2: but I feel like more often than not, superstars that

1549
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 2: try to coach fail. With that in mind, k fig

1550
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 2: before we grab a time out, I don't see Lebron

1551
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 2: wanting to be a head coach. I don't think that's

1552
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 2: gonna be in his DNA. I think he's gonna be

1553
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 2: in Hollywood. I think he's gonna make movies. I think

1554
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 2: he'll probably have a role on one of the NBA shows.

1555
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 2: But I don't see him being a guy that I

1556
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 2: think he'll own a team. I think he'll be an owner,

1557
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 2: but I don't see him being a guy that wants

1558
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 2: to get involved in doing any of the day to

1559
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 2: day work as.

1560
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:49,719
Speaker 3: A coach, not in the least bit. And you mentioned

1561
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 3: the ownership.

1562
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 11: That's something he's already If he hasn't stated to publicly,

1563
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 11: his people certainly have that he wants to be at

1564
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 11: least a minority owner in the Las Vegas expansion franchise.

1565
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 11: When that ends up happening, his view or his future,

1566
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 11: his ownership, and to your point, being a talking head,

1567
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 11: whether it's on one of these TV shows or if

1568
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 11: it's his own pro You know, he has his own podcast,

1569
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 11: but in his own production company. So I think that's

1570
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 11: more of the lame for Lebron James. I don't think

1571
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 11: he has any desire to be a head coach.

1572
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 2: To be honest, all right, we got a break man.

1573
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 2: This show's flying by tonight. Good call Poppy. I think

1574
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 2: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven, nine,

1575
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 2: ninety six, six three, sixth nine. Okay, there is a

1576
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 2: storyline in the NFL that I'm infatuated with that I

1577
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 2: don't know if it's a big deal or not. I'll

1578
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 2: pose it next right here on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

1579
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 2: welcome back. It's the Bernie Fratto Show here on Fox

1580
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. I'm Chris Plank, sitting in Bernie returns tomorrow

1581
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 2: night right here on many of these fine Fox Sports

1582
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,679
Speaker 2: Radio stations. As we roll into the early morning hours

1583
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 2: on the East Coast, we haven't spent a segment yet.

1584
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 2: We will next hour on something that that's boring.

1585
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:00,679
Speaker 3: It's really boring.

1586
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 2: I just I don't know how else to put the

1587
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 2: most recent agreement between the NCAA and the settlement of

1588
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 2: these anti trust lawsuits that are taking place, the way

1589
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 2: that they're being I'm getting even triggered by the way

1590
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 2: that they're being presented. Schools can now pay student athletes like.

1591
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 3: They've been paying student athletes for.

1592
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 2: Years, and this idea, oh my gosh, this idea that

1593
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 2: colleges have been taking advantage of student athletes like there's

1594
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 2: no value in a scholarship and the training that they've received.

1595
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. I'm a fan of what's taking place.

1596
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,640
Speaker 3: I just I don't get it. Why not try to

1597
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 3: fight this in court?

1598
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 2: Why not try to see whether or not you could

1599
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 2: get something better than the billions of dollars you're having

1600
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,679
Speaker 2: to pay. And then they're setting this from twenty sixteen on.

1601
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 2: So I guess you don't get an opportunity if you

1602
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:57,719
Speaker 2: played in twenty fifteen.

1603
01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 3: But we'll try to lay it out. Do you have

1604
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 3: a good understanding of this?

1605
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 2: By the way, Kfigan anyone you guys feel like you've

1606
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:05,719
Speaker 2: got to handle on this right now?

1607
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 3: No, I don't, not in.

1608
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 11: The least bill Well, Number one, you know, three billion

1609
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 11: dollars being paid out to fourteen thousand student athletes from

1610
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 11: the past. Who determines who gets what? How does that work?

1611
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,799
Speaker 11: That's number one? When we don't even know what guys

1612
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 11: are getting today.

1613
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 3: Right right? How to engage this?

1614
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, so Edilbannon getting some of this stuff is like

1615
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 11: a couple of other players who probably, by the way,

1616
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 11: many of these people actually did get benefits.

1617
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 3: They just couldn't, you know. It was hush hush under

1618
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,520
Speaker 3: the table. So how does that get distributed?

1619
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 11: And then the twenty one million dollars are up to

1620
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 11: twenty one million dollars at all the individual schools can

1621
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:39,680
Speaker 11: distribute to their athletes. Well, for a lot of these

1622
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,520
Speaker 11: major universities, when there's a lot of big time programs,

1623
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 11: twenty one million dollars didn't go very far.

1624
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 2: No, So what does that really do? And it's across

1625
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 2: all sports? Correct, it's all sports. So we'll get into

1626
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 2: it coming up here. And just a bit good reaction

1627
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 2: by the way on the Twitter machine to Game two

1628
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 2: tonight between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks.

1629
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 3: Dallas wins at one O nine one.

1630
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Owait we'll talk more about previewing the Pacers and their

1631
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 2: series with the Celtics. But there is one NFL story

1632
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 2: that I'm kind of all in on, but I don't

1633
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 2: know if anybody really cares because either A they know

1634
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 2: it's inevitable or B they know there's no chance it's

1635
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 2: going to happen. And that is the pursuit of an

1636
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 2: eighteen game regular season schedule. This week, Roger Goodell was

1637
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 2: asked about the eighteen game schedule. Here's the latest.

1638
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 8: The key thing for us is looking at making sure

1639
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 8: we continue to do the things to make our game safer,

1640
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 8: So we want to make sure that that hits the

1641
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 8: first boundary. The seventeen games is a long season, so

1642
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 8: we want to make sure we look at that and

1643
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,719
Speaker 8: make sure that we continue the safety efforts. You've seen

1644
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 8: a lot of the outcomes of that kickoff, so a

1645
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,759
Speaker 8: good example of the hip drop. We're going to continue

1646
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 8: to do that. That's number one. Working with our players

1647
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 8: associations number two, you know, we would reach and agreement

1648
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 8: with them if we're going to proceed on that level.

1649
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:14,599
Speaker 8: But we also third, this is not necessarily in order is.

1650
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 3: The quality of our game.

1651
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 8: You know, we would do it in the context of

1652
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 8: reducing the number of preseason games. We think that's a

1653
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 8: good trade. Less preseason games and more regular season games.

1654
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 8: I think most anybody would think was beneficial. But again,

1655
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,839
Speaker 8: those other two factors are really important.

1656
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 2: So we're in the midst of essentially what a twenty

1657
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:38,879
Speaker 2: game schedule right now, so it would only be losing

1658
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 2: one exhibition game. And Roger Goodell was smart enough whenever

1659
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 2: he was making the rounds at the Super Bowl to

1660
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 2: where he brought up, hey, you know, if we do

1661
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 2: this that Monday after the super Bowl, the way the

1662
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,599
Speaker 2: schedule will shape up, that'll be a day off. Everyone

1663
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 2: will be off work. And that is intriguing to a

1664
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 2: lot of people. Why because we all envision a world

1665
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 2: where the day after the super Bowl is a national holiday,

1666
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 2: and at least with the way that it looks like

1667
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 2: the schedule would work in this current setup, we might

1668
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 2: have that. So I kind of think, and Kate the guy,

1669
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 2: I know, we're up against it here, so we might

1670
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 2: have to go a little bit more in depth next hour.

1671
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 2: But I kind of find myself all in on this

1672
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 2: and I'm intrigued by it. I'm excited about it, but

1673
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 2: I don't really know if anyone else is as fired

1674
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 2: up as I am. And I will say, if you're

1675
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 2: going to come to me and tell me that you

1676
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 2: care and oh, we got to worry about what is

1677
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,680
Speaker 2: for the safety of the players, well let me tell

1678
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 2: you something. If it's about the safety of the players,

1679
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be playing games on Thursday.

1680
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,480
Speaker 3: You wouldn't be finding waste.

1681
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 11: Wednesday, Friday, and every other day of the week exactly,

1682
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,720
Speaker 11: and you would have an extra bye week worked in

1683
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:51,679
Speaker 11: on the schedule too.

1684
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 2: But I feel like we still have a long way

1685
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 2: to go. We know the TV revenue will be there

1686
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 2: if they want to do it. We know other networks

1687
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 2: will want to be in. I just think it's a

1688
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 2: matter of if win not if we make the move

1689
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,599
Speaker 2: to an eighteen game regular season schedule. When we come back,

1690
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,760

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Radio. Oh it's us in the final hour?

1693

01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 2: Tire rack dot com. The way tire buying should be

1698
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 2: a completed recap Western Conference Finals Game two coming up

1699
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 2: here in a bit, great game winning call and the

1700
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 2: Rangers went over the Panthers coming up later on in

1701
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:54,480
Speaker 2: the program.

1702
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 3: But Kate think let's pay off our teas and Ian Mark.

1703
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 2: If you guys want to jump in on this, please

1704
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 2: feel free to do so. I am at the core.

1705
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm a college guy, right, I make my nut if

1706
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 2: you will in college football coverage, in college basketball and

1707
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 2: college softball. I live in a college town I work

1708
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 2: very closely with one of the greatest colleges on the

1709
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 2: planet in the University of Oklahoma and their incredible athletic departments.

1710
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 2: So I cover a lot of sports. I cover a

1711
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 2: lot of college sports, and I feel like I've got

1712
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 2: a pretty good understanding of things when it comes to

1713
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 2: NIL collectives and this house versus NCAA settlement. But Kviig.

1714
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 2: Every time I start reading it or I have someone

1715
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 2: explain it to me, it's like my eyes glaze over

1716
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 2: and I'm like, wait, what we're doing? This is what

1717
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 2: we're doing. Now, we're setting a twenty million dollar cap.

1718
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 2: Now I guess you're going to be able to bring

1719
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 2: inil in house and it's going to be revenue sharing.

1720
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 3: Is it going to mean less jobs?

1721
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 2: Are people going to lose their jobs because they're going

1722
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 2: to need a budget? I'm so perplexed by how this

1723
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 2: is gonna work out.

1724
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 3: Now.

1725
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 2: I work with some great people. The Fox Sports Radio

1726
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 2: is on Serious XM. I do a lot of stuff

1727
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 2: on the college sports radio channel over there. Do a

1728
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 2: great job over there, by the way, I to you.

1729
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 2: In fact, I'll be on a couple of hours after

1730
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 2: we're done here. Excellent shift today, but my partner, Nicole Arback,

1731
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 2: she sent this out and I wanted to play it

1732
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 2: because I think it explains it. And this is by

1733
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 2: no means a knock on, Nicole. This is more about

1734
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 2: me and thy brain. But k Fig tell me if

1735
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: this helps you out, Ian Mark, tell me if this

1736
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 2: helps to make any more sense. Whenever Nicole Arback talked

1737
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 2: about basically explaining what's gone down with this NCAA settlement.

1738
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 18: By now you've seen the headlines college athletes are gonna

1739
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 18: get paid by their schools.

1740
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 3: It's actually happening. Here's what we know, and here's what

1741
01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:58,719
Speaker 3: we don't know yet.

1742
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 18: We know the NCUBLA and the power conferences have agreed

1743
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 18: to terms to settle a case, well really three cases,

1744
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:10,879
Speaker 18: that will allow athletes to get two point seven billion

1745
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 18: dollars in back paid damages because they were not able

1746
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 18: to be paid for being athletes.

1747
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 3: Now, this money is in.

1748
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,760
Speaker 18: Part coming from the NCAA reserves and in part from

1749
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 18: money that they're withholding from what they would normally give

1750
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 18: to conferences over the next ten years. That's the backward

1751
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 18: looking part of this. The forward looking part of this

1752
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 18: is a revenue share model. Schools will have an opportunity

1753
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 18: to opt into a model that is about twenty two

1754
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 18: percent of their average power for budget, So that's about

1755
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 18: twenty million dollars per school per year to start, and

1756
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 18: they can determine how they want to spend it and

1757
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 18: how they're going to decide which athletes in which sports

1758
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:49,640
Speaker 18: that money is going to.

1759
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 3: Now, there's still a lot that we don't know.

1760
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 18: We don't know exactly how Title nine is going to

1761
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 18: apply in this model.

1762
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 3: We don't know how nil collectives.

1763
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 18: Are going to work in the system, or what these

1764
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:03,640
Speaker 18: payments as part of a REP share are going to

1765
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 18: be classified. As we do know that the NCAA is

1766
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 18: going to keep begging Congress for help because they don't

1767
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:14,879
Speaker 18: want athletes to be classified as employees. But the system

1768
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 18: can it work without collective bargaining? Can work without them

1769
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 18: eventually becoming employees?

1770
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 3: Well we'll have to see.

1771
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 2: But there's I think one of the better explanations of it,

1772
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 2: because there is still more unknown than there is known.

1773
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 2: Ross Dellinger, kind of the Adam Schefter of college football,

1774
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:37,679
Speaker 2: if you will, went.

1775
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 14: On a.

1776
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 2: Thread the other day laying out all of the specifics

1777
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 2: of it. It came away and it seemed like it

1778
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 2: made a lot of sense, But I also I don't

1779
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,719
Speaker 2: know how it's going to work. I don't know, because

1780
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 2: someone's going to get pissed in all of this, right,

1781
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 2: I mean, somebody's going to come away and be like, well, hey,

1782
01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 2: you're not paying the softball players like you're paying the

1783
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 2: basketball players, or you're not paying the field hockey players

1784
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 2: like you're playing like you're paying the back. I mean,

1785
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,959
Speaker 2: I just I feel like there's still gonna be some issues.

1786
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 2: But I do I do hope and think for the

1787
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 2: sake of college athletes getting a little a little bit

1788
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 2: more than they've gotten the past, and for colleges to

1789
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 2: have a better understanding and handle on nil, I feel

1790
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 2: like this is a move in the right direction, k fig.

1791
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 3: But I just I don't.

1792
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 2: I don't know, because as you heard from Nicole Arbak,

1793
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 2: who gets in the weeds and she can nerd out

1794
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 2: with the best of him. And that's a that's a

1795
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 2: statement of praise from my perspective. She's even laying out

1796
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 2: all the unknowns like who's getting paid, who isn't, who's

1797
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 2: getting the REV share, who is it? What is it

1798
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 2: going to look like? Our collective is still a thing.

1799
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 2: So NIL is going to exist, But how are we

1800
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 2: going to police it? Is there gonna be a salary cap?

1801
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 2: Is there gonna be a unionization of college athletics? I

1802
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:01,719
Speaker 2: have no idea k FIG and at the very least

1803
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 2: feel like this is a step in a direction that

1804
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 2: hopefully can get a handle on what's been an out

1805
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 2: of control NIL system right now in college sports. Yeah,

1806
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 2: it's a nudge in the right direction. And I like

1807
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 2: the idea of a revenue share.

1808
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:15,680
Speaker 11: And one of your partners over at that channel that

1809
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 11: you're talking about on serious, Rick new Isil has always

1810
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:21,919
Speaker 11: talked about a rev share where the players, the schools

1811
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 11: get a certain amount of money from these TV contracts,

1812
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 11: similar to how the NFL is set up, you know,

1813
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 11: the NFL has, you know, revenue share. We talked about

1814
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 11: the fact that they want to add to eighteen the Game. Well,

1815
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 11: if eighteen the Game comes in, the players are going

1816
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 11: to get compensated for that from the new TV money

1817
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 11: that gets you know that those get slated to and

1818
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 11: so how you break that down how that works, I'm

1819
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 11: not exactly sure, but I think ultimately that's probably where

1820
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 11: this is going. And I think this is the start

1821
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 11: of it where schools who are getting all this money

1822
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 11: from TV contracts are now taking money from those contracts

1823
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 11: and now distributing it to the players.

1824
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 3: Now to your point, how.

1825
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 11: That gets distributed, I'm not sure, because who's to say

1826
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 11: a Caleb Williamstipe, if there's a transcendent a Trevor Lawrence

1827
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:03,640
Speaker 11: when he went to Clemson, I want fifteen to that

1828
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:04,799
Speaker 11: twenty one million dollars.

1829
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 3: I mean, depending on the school, if they say, if

1830
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 3: you want me, this is what I'm asking for.

1831
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 11: Some schools are going to offer that and give it

1832
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,680
Speaker 11: to them, you know, and everybody else is left out

1833
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 11: in the lurch.

1834
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 2: You know, our man tiger Man in Utah hit us

1835
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 2: up on Twitter and he goes. I think we have

1836
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 2: to realize that this is the signature of death for

1837
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:28,719
Speaker 2: your beloved softball, my college wrestling, and all other non

1838
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 2: revenue sports, and for me, college football is my life.

1839
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 2: I think everyone realizes that college football pays the bills.

1840
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anyone that's sitting here going everyone

1841
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,679
Speaker 2: deserves fair pay. I think everyone realizes that college football

1842
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 2: pays the bills. I think that's the only way you

1843
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 2: can go about this without getting your feelers hurt. Are

1844
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 2: there going to be transcendent college basketball players, you bet,

1845
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 2: but they're not going to make what a college football

1846
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 2: player is going to make. So I think that's going

1847
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 2: to be a really tense time. I don't think things

1848
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:08,560
Speaker 2: are gonna be done that's going to cause teams to disappear,

1849
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 2: that will cause programs to shut down certain squads. I

1850
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 2: know Stanford threatened to do it with some sports a

1851
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 2: couple of years ago during COVID and what ended up happening.

1852
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 2: You have donors that jumped up and they floated the.

1853
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 3: Bill for it.

1854
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,799
Speaker 2: And the issue is some of these non revenue sports

1855
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 2: have got to be smarter budgetarily, I think, and it's

1856
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 2: not looking that way, by the way. And what we're

1857
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 2: doing with conferences right now, I mean the travel bill

1858
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 2: for some of these Pac twelve teams that are going

1859
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:37,800
Speaker 2: to the Big Ten.

1860
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:40,640
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. I mean it really truly is.

1861
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 2: So I don't know how that's gonna be able to

1862
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 2: make things more budget savvy going forward, But I know

1863
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:49,760
Speaker 2: this much, it's not going back to the way it was.

1864
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 2: The value of a scholarship has been minimized. Nobody cares

1865
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 2: about what they're getting with their education and their job

1866
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 2: prep and their professional It just doesn't matter are you

1867
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 2: getting paid or not.

1868
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of where we are right now.

1869
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,519
Speaker 11: Yeah, hey, look the now revenue sports are still going

1870
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:07,280
Speaker 11: to be there for as much as we talk about these,

1871
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 11: you know, football players in basketball to a slightly lesser extent,

1872
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 11: are quote unquote pseudo professionals. The softball players who you

1873
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 11: cover a lot of the water polo like those, those

1874
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 11: are legitimate student athletes who are there because they have scholarships,

1875
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 11: want to get an education. Maybe they have a chance

1876
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 11: to jump up and do something at the Olympics or

1877
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:30,640
Speaker 11: professionally if it exists in their craft. But for the

1878
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:34,679
Speaker 11: great majority of the student athletes are actually student athletes

1879
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 11: and don't have no designs of going pro. They just

1880
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 11: get lost in the muck of the two percent who

1881
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 11: happen to play football or basketball and the revenue generating sports.

1882
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 2: And I am I'm at this point now we're covering

1883
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 2: college sports as much as I love college I lock.

1884
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 2: I mean, we're nine we're ninety eight days away from

1885
01:30:56,360 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 2: the start of like SEC football and Big ten football,

1886
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 2: We're ninety one days away from the se at the

1887
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 2: ACC opener when Georgia Attack and Florida State play each

1888
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 2: other in Ireland, I'm ready to talk games. I think

1889
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,760
Speaker 2: it's we've got a twelve team playoff this year, is right,

1890
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 2: fig we do. We've got a whole new look in

1891
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,320
Speaker 2: the Big Ten and the ACC and the SEC.

1892
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:22,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a whole new world.

1893
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 2: The Big twelve has West Coast teams now, but in

1894
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,600
Speaker 2: the end, we're not going to get there until we

1895
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 2: figure all this other stuff out. It's like I want

1896
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 2: to go play, mom, I want to go outside and play,

1897
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:38,040
Speaker 2: but I've got homework that I got to do before

1898
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:40,240
Speaker 2: I'm allowed to go outside and play. That's kind of

1899
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 2: where we are right now. I won an off season

1900
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 2: of college sports. That is just an off season, right,

1901
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 2: I mean last year was conference realignment. I mean the

1902
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 2: last five years have been conference realignment sprinkling nil and

1903
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 2: then the NCAA tapping out, then the NCAA stopping essentially

1904
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:00,519
Speaker 2: to exist in the role of an enforcement are to

1905
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 2: the NCAA suddenly, I mean a k thik. One final

1906
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 2: thought on this, Yes, the interesting part to me is

1907
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:10,639
Speaker 2: it seems as if it kind of empowers the NCAA again, right.

1908
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 11: Yeah, when they were losing all of their grip. The

1909
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 11: fact that they reached a settlement, which I don't look.

1910
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 11: I think the Power five did the nc double a

1911
01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 11: favor in this, because if this was going to trial,

1912
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:21,720
Speaker 11: the NCUBA was going to lose and lose badly like

1913
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 11: they have in many of these other cases evolving the

1914
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,400
Speaker 11: schools and the student athlete. So I'm with you, this

1915
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 11: is a major win for Charlie Baker in the n

1916
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:30,840
Speaker 11: CUBA for sure.

1917
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's always.

1918
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 2: Funny because you'll hear about all the NCAA is looking

1919
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 2: at this, they're looking at that, and I'm like, I

1920
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 2: don't know if the NCAA came to my school and

1921
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:41,800
Speaker 2: was threatening to look at anything, I tell them, I'm

1922
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:44,479
Speaker 2: going to assume them right, because they're terrible in court.

1923
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:46,360
Speaker 2: I mean, they just they're just not good at it.

1924
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 2: But as it stands right now, that's some of the

1925
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 2: protection they're trying to get by.

1926
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:51,720
Speaker 3: One side. Note.

1927
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know how much it's been talked about

1928
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,719
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. Chris Plankin for Bernie Fratto,

1929
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:58,560
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the tyrach dot com studios.

1930
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 2: This is a story NCA versus House settlement agreed upon

1931
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 2: that isn't officialized yet, but looks like it's going to

1932
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 2: change the game, and colleges can now officially pay student athletes.

1933
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to go through a collective. It'll be

1934
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 3: revenue sharing.

1935
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 2: But the jade re shot of versus floridafied it is

1936
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 2: going to be an interesting one because there's a lot

1937
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 2: of buzz about players not getting what they were promised.

1938
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 2: They'll go to a school, they'll have a deal, they'll

1939
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 2: get some money, but it's not what they were promised.

1940
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 2: And no one has really fought back yet. It's just

1941
01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 2: been one of those where they've kind of taken it.

1942
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 2: They've just kind of said, all right, well, I was

1943
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 2: promised I was going to get a million, and I

1944
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:46,280
Speaker 2: only ended up getting five hundred thousand dollars because certain

1945
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:47,520
Speaker 2: escalators weren't.

1946
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 3: Hit or it wasn't the deal I thought it was.

1947
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 2: I think this is going to be an interesting case

1948
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:56,720
Speaker 2: to follow because this is the first time in all

1949
01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 2: of these rumors and all of these promised nil deals

1950
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 2: through collectives, and no one wants to say paid for

1951
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:04,639
Speaker 2: play because they feel like that's some sort of knock

1952
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:05,719
Speaker 2: on this whole process.

1953
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 3: But it's paid for play.

1954
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,879
Speaker 2: If Jade Rashada wins this, if he ends up getting

1955
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 2: money from I guess it would be not just this

1956
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 2: this entity that no longer exists. I guess you could

1957
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 2: say called itself a collective, but really wasn't. If he

1958
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 2: ends up getting money from Billy Napier, I mean, it's

1959
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 2: just potentially opening up a Pandora's box. He might have

1960
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 2: a player that has enough evidence to where he was

1961
01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 2: promised to something and didn't get it. And if this

1962
01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:39,280
Speaker 2: is a win for Rashata, which I don't think it's

1963
01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:41,600
Speaker 2: going to be, I think it's got the potential to

1964
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,680
Speaker 2: be a major, major shift in kind of how some

1965
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,599
Speaker 2: of these deals have been done in the early phases

1966
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,559
Speaker 2: of Nile and maybe give some of these players to

1967
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 2: get money that they were promised and they never received.

1968
01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 2: All Right, when we come back to the Tirack dot

1969
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:59,679
Speaker 2: Com studios, I've been wanting to go all in on

1970
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 2: the late second, our last second shot from Luca last night.

1971
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:08,080
Speaker 2: A fantastic play, an individual move that you see from

1972
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 2: Superstars to step back three right in the face of

1973
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 2: the defensive player of the year.

1974
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:16,080
Speaker 3: What led to it? What did Lucas say afterwards?

1975
01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:18,720
Speaker 2: And did he really drop about five or six f

1976
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 2: bums or was he speaking in a different language. Plus,

1977
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:26,479
Speaker 2: we've got a game three tonight as the series shifts

1978
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 2: in the East from New York? What am I saying

1979
01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 2: as it shifts from Boston to Indianas we'll talk a

1980
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 2: little bit about the Celtics and the Pacers, and I

1981
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 2: do want to dive in before we get out of

1982
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 2: here to Charles Barkley going Scorched Earth on TNT. It's

1983
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:42,680
Speaker 2: all coming up on a busy Friday night into a

1984
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:48,320
Speaker 2: Saturday morning right here on Fox Sports Radio. Rangers beat

1985
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:51,519
Speaker 2: the Panthers in overtime two to one in the Stanley

1986
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 2: Cup playoffs. Tire take Stanley Cup Playoffs always infinitely more entertaining,

1987
01:35:57,120 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 2: but much much less view than the NBA playoffs, but

1988
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:03,600
Speaker 2: fun once to night. You'll hear the final call of

1989
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:06,759
Speaker 2: that coming up here in just a bit. Speaking though,

1990
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:14,080
Speaker 2: of final calls, we haven't heard the Luca dagger. I mean,

1991
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 2: this is what superstars do, right closing moments of a game,

1992
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:21,719
Speaker 2: ball game on the line, get out of the way,

1993
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 2: put it in your best player's hand.

1994
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:25,400
Speaker 3: Look gets Colbert, what's.

1995
01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 2: Seven at six?

1996
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:27,600
Speaker 3: Head by the tween is.

1997
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:31,920
Speaker 19: Like stepping back for the West got a quick pray

1998
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 19: seconds to go tie out Minnesota, don SI's lacrossover head,

1999
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 19: the Patrick step back head. The Beaver said bro one

2000
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 19: o nine to one away.

2001
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 2: Lucas got that little step back going steph Curry had

2002
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 2: that has that what what Dirk was the one foot

2003
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 2: fade away. Kareem was the sky hook, Kobe had the

2004
01:36:55,160 --> 01:37:02,360
Speaker 2: suite everything fade away dog power moves by Shack, I

2005
01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:04,720
Speaker 2: mean it's it's a signature move for a guy right

2006
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 2: in a big moment, and he got it done.

2007
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:08,559
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, I.

2008
01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 2: Thought that last shot by the Timberwolves looking looking pretty good,

2009
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:14,759
Speaker 2: looking pretty good.

2010
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 3: Out the hand.

2011
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 2: But in the end it was it was Dallas going

2012
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 2: up two games to none in the best of seven.

2013
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 19: Three for three, so done.

2014
01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 16: The Bavericks pumped the Minnesota and they won the first

2015
01:37:29,120 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 16: two games of this Western Conference Final. As they defeat

2016
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 16: the Timberwolves one oh nine to one o eight tonight,

2017
01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:41,599
Speaker 16: they come from eighteen points down to get the job done.

2018
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:45,640
Speaker 2: So you can pick your non kind of game storyline

2019
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 2: on this right, k Fig and I have had some

2020
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 2: fun with this tonight. It's either oh Luke is the

2021
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:54,640
Speaker 2: greatest thing ever. He's gonna take Dallas to heights unseen

2022
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:59,719
Speaker 2: since Dirk and maybe end up with a better, better

2023
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 2: career than Dirk. Oh he might win more titles. Right

2024
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 2: then there's the Anthony Edwards sucks. I don't know why

2025
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 2: anyone ever put him in the same level, in the

2026
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 2: same category as Michael Jordan, which, by the way, we.

2027
01:38:13,040 --> 01:38:14,639
Speaker 3: I don't think we should be doing that anyway.

2028
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 2: I mean, let's just stop afterwards, as you might imagine.

2029
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:22,160
Speaker 2: Chris Finch, the head coach of the Timberwolves, was asked

2030
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:24,720
Speaker 2: about Anthony Edwards play in game two.

2031
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 20: He's got to get more in transition, gotta get out.

2032
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 20: I thought he started the game with a great burst,

2033
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 20: was really going going downhill well and then you know,

2034
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 20: kind of just phased out as the game went along,

2035
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:38,839
Speaker 20: you know, went in there a few times.

2036
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 3: You know, I thought he could have done it more, and.

2037
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 20: We need him to do it more.

2038
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:45,640
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards talked about his struggles.

2039
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 9: Uh, they're just showing me crows Man sitting in the gaps.

2040
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 9: But I'm turning down a lot of shots, you know,

2041
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 9: like my mid rangers and stuff. I'm turning a lot

2042
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:55,840
Speaker 9: of those down.

2043
01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:59,439
Speaker 3: But we're getting open. Look for I ain't sure.

2044
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 2: So my question to put a rap on our NBA

2045
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 2: talk tonight, Kfig and Ian Mark, Everyone's in on this.

2046
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 2: This is a very simple question. Was tonight, in your opinion,

2047
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:18,679
Speaker 2: more about the explosion, more about the implosion of Anthony Edwards,

2048
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:22,000
Speaker 2: the star not having a good shooting game, not having

2049
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,400
Speaker 2: a good game overall. Or was it more about Luca

2050
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 2: and Dallas making a statement? Ian, you haven't talked enough tonight.

2051
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with you. Was tonight more about Luca

2052
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 2: and the MAVs making a statement, or for most it's

2053
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:38,120
Speaker 2: tonight more about Anthony Edwards not being what everyone's trying

2054
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 2: to make them out to be.

2055
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:41,640
Speaker 5: To me, it's it's Luca and the MAVs love it.

2056
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2057
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:45,760
Speaker 6: I I And last week with your poll about like,

2058
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 6: you know, who would you rather have Shae?

2059
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2060
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,839
Speaker 6: Right now, I'm actually curious too, would you rather have Shae,

2061
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:55,720
Speaker 6: Luca or Aunt to build a franchise around. It's only

2062
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:57,680
Speaker 6: been a week and I remember I said Aunt, and

2063
01:39:57,880 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 6: you know already were at a point where I'm like

2064
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 6: questioning now it's how can you put him over Luca?

2065
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 6: But I promise a week ago it sounded more reasonable,

2066
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 6: but yeah, it's really just it's on the Mavericks. I

2067
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:13,519
Speaker 6: don't I don't like looking at it as like, you know, oh,

2068
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 6: did did this team win or did this team lose?

2069
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:21,200
Speaker 6: It's you know, both things happened, and yeah, I don't know,

2070
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:21,679
Speaker 6: but did.

2071
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 2: This team blow it or this team take it from

2072
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 2: him this? Did this team win it? Or did that

2073
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 2: team choke?

2074
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's always a weird question to me.

2075
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 3: Because in all fairness, all could be true.

2076
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:36,760
Speaker 2: But I'm just I'm curious from your perspective, Mark, did

2077
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:38,080
Speaker 2: you want to jump in on this.

2078
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 3: Is this more.

2079
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 2: About Luca and a big shot or do you think

2080
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 2: it's more about Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves imploding here tonight?

2081
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 21: It seems like the market set the level that the

2082
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:55,160
Speaker 21: Timberwolves guy is Michael Jordan, right, and Luca is Luca

2083
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:58,880
Speaker 21: who's a European who cries a lot.

2084
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 3: So that's good as summation. So they it was.

2085
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 21: It's the focus is on those two myths, those two setups, okay,

2086
01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:13,479
Speaker 21: and it falls onto Luca that he prevailed tonight to

2087
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 21: create the so called Michael Jordan.

2088
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 3: By the way, looking at the poll from last week.

2089
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:21,920
Speaker 2: Now you guys again, I feel like there might be

2090
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 2: people jumping in and out. So I'm not sitting here

2091
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 2: trying to beat my chest and tell you about how

2092
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:29,400
Speaker 2: I come from the greatest state in the Union, the

2093
01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 2: great state of Oklahoma. But the question last week was

2094
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:36,559
Speaker 2: you can build around one, who are you going with,

2095
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 2: Shay gild Jess, Alexander, Luka, Doncic or Anthony Edwards. Now

2096
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:42,559
Speaker 2: keep in mind, like I said, got a lot of

2097
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma followers. So when you see that Shay gil just

2098
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 2: Alexander won this with sixty six percent of the what

2099
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:53,960
Speaker 2: five hundred plus or so that voted on this, probably yeah,

2100
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:55,200
Speaker 2: that number was a lot.

2101
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:57,160
Speaker 3: Of thunder fans. But here's the funny part.

2102
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:02,320
Speaker 2: K Fig Luka, Doncic finished third and a distant third

2103
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:05,599
Speaker 2: in this, and he's got the Mavericks up two games

2104
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 2: to none right now over Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

2105
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,440
Speaker 5: But that's your recency bias, Chris.

2106
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 11: Oh, that's true. I mean Loco's careers at this point,

2107
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 11: he's been amazing. Yeah, it's incredible.

2108
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 6: I would venture to guess that if you put the poll,

2109
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 6: not that you should, but if you put the poll

2110
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 6: up again, tonight that Luca would would overte yes.

2111
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 3: And here's the other thing.

2112
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 2: I bet if you put it up on the Fox

2113
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 2: Sports radio account instead of when we if I Philly.

2114
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 3: Goodburnie again, we got to remember this one, right.

2115
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 2: Instead of just my very homeoristic Oklahoma people that follow me,

2116
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:39,240
Speaker 2: then it might be a different voting all together. All right,

2117
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 2: So k fig you get the deciding vote here. Storyline

2118
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:45,679
Speaker 2: out of tonight, More about Luke and the MAVs getting

2119
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:47,799
Speaker 2: it down on the road and Luca with a big shot,

2120
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 2: or is it more to you about Anthony Edwards justice

2121
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 2: and what.

2122
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:53,840
Speaker 3: We thought he was. Definitely, definitely has to be about Luca.

2123
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:56,160
Speaker 11: Luca getting the driple double, hitting the big shot over

2124
01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:58,680
Speaker 11: former defensive Player of the Year. It has to be

2125
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 11: about him. I understand, Anthony Edward struggled. He's a young player.

2126
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 11: It's gonna happen Luka, doncik. It seems to be his time,

2127
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 11: his moment, So I'm not gonna steal that from him

2128
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:09,759
Speaker 11: by saying, now, Anthony Edward struggled, how about Luca getting

2129
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 11: a triple double on the road.

2130
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:13,760
Speaker 3: In the Western Conference Finals. Give him some love for that? Agree?

2131
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 2: Agreed, And you just it's not something you see very often.

2132
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:23,719
Speaker 2: I mean Luca, Luca the game winning three thirty two points,

2133
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 2: thirteen assists, ten boards, his fifth triple double of the playoffs.

2134
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 2: He's working with Kyrie Irving, who's playing nice, who have

2135
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:35,439
Speaker 2: thirteen of his twenty points in the fourth quarter. I

2136
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:38,600
Speaker 2: if I get it, We're gonna be fighting about this

2137
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:41,559
Speaker 2: and talking about it all day, just because it's what

2138
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:45,040
Speaker 2: we do and it's fun, better than talking politics. But

2139
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I'll say this, don't count out in Minnesota.

2140
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,640
Speaker 3: Those are two really good wins by Dallas. I know

2141
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 3: we wanted to.

2142
01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 2: We want to sit here and wag our finger and

2143
01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:00,000
Speaker 2: judge everyone who got fired up about Anthony Edwards.

2144
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:02,360
Speaker 3: Some people go over the top. You bet. It's what

2145
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:02,720
Speaker 3: we do.

2146
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 2: We're not sane, we're sports fans. We don't take anything

2147
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:09,120
Speaker 2: with the logic. We're out of our minds when it

2148
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 2: comes to comps and when it comes to expectations. But

2149
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:17,639
Speaker 2: I think I think Minnesota is still very much alive

2150
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:20,639
Speaker 2: in this series. But I also think tonight was about

2151
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:24,120
Speaker 2: what is becoming the greatness of Luca embracing man. It's

2152
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 2: fun to see Dallas is a fun team to watch enraging.

2153
01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 2: What a fun team to watch. All right, one final

Speaker 2: can we can we pour one out tonight? Can we

2196
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,000
Speaker 2: can we tip our cap to something that I never watched,

2197
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:24,559
Speaker 2: but yet heard about a lot. Okay, rip the PAC

2198
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 2: twelve network.

2199
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 3: Oh you and me both.

2200
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:30,320
Speaker 11: For as long as I've lived, I lived in Los Angeles'

2201
01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:34,960
Speaker 11: entire time, I have never once, never, once Chris had

2202
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:35,960
Speaker 11: the PACK twelve network.

2203
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:39,840
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm laughing, so I don't cry. A lot

2204
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:42,880
Speaker 2: of great people this is. I mean, this could happen

2205
01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:45,320
Speaker 2: to me in a month over here at Oklahoma, right

2206
01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 2: because they're going to the SEC and I don't know

2207
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 2: where I work is still going to be a thing

2208
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:50,479
Speaker 2: or not.

2209
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:51,679
Speaker 3: But I do know this much.

2210
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,519
Speaker 2: Uh, there's a lot of really really good people that

2211
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 2: work in the PAC twelve network that you'll never know about.

2212
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:02,840
Speaker 2: Hard working behind the scenes, people putting together the features,

2213
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:05,679
Speaker 2: editing the highlights, putting together the crews, all these things.

2214
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 2: You never see. The great people that were in front

2215
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 2: of the camera. I saw Roxy Bernstein sign them off.

2216
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,799
Speaker 2: Guy Haberman's one of my favorite radio dudes on the planet.

2217
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 2: I know Michael yamb was out there with him for

2218
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 2: the longest time and he's now with the NFL network.

2219
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:24,519
Speaker 3: But our guy Link Kennedy was there for analysts for years. Yes,

2220
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:31,360
Speaker 3: I just I never watched it. I know it had games.

2221
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:33,400
Speaker 2: I can't sit here and pretend like I even watched

2222
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:36,679
Speaker 2: softball on it. It's one of those things that everyone

2223
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:40,519
Speaker 2: joked about not having. I never had it, So I

2224
01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:44,280
Speaker 2: give all those people loved to say rip, but I

2225
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 2: knew nothing.

2226
01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:48,560
Speaker 3: I was not familiar with your game. PAC twelve network.

2227
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:50,920
Speaker 2: Because I was never in a place where I could

2228
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 2: watch any of it at any time.

2229
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:55,920
Speaker 11: What's just said, And that is as big of a

2230
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,559
Speaker 11: reason as any that the PAC twelve doesn't exist anymore.

2231
01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:01,719
Speaker 11: One of another one of Larry Scott's brilliant ideas.

2232
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 2: And it's funny because there's so many people in Big

2233
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 2: twelve country where I kind of live for a while.

2234
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 2: Now I'm an SEC guy. I don't know, if you know,

2235
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:15,240
Speaker 2: it's a little different, little hoity toy. Yeah, you know,

2236
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:17,760
Speaker 2: got a little arrogance to me. Now I know more

2237
01:48:17,760 --> 01:48:19,600
Speaker 2: about football than you guys. Got the boots and the

2238
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 2: bolo tie work.

2239
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 3: That's right.

2240
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:24,960
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go. I might fight, I might throw hands,

2241
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:30,760
Speaker 2: but I uh, I just everyone fell in love with

2242
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 2: wanting to do a conference network. Every it's and it's

2243
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:40,160
Speaker 2: been the greatest anchor on two incredible conferences, The ACC

2244
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:43,799
Speaker 2: and the PAC twelve. The ACC is in its granted

2245
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 2: right steal because Okay, I'm not going to do this tonight.

2246
01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 3: It's it's three. I already get people mad enough about me.

2247
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:52,400
Speaker 2: You want to talk media writes all the time, and

2248
01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:54,760
Speaker 2: we spent probably a little bit too much time on

2249
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:58,160
Speaker 2: a boring story earlier. But pour one out tonight to

2250
01:48:58,200 --> 01:49:01,200
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve network. Man, great, but k fig you

2251
01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 2: and I never.

2252
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:03,600
Speaker 3: Got to watch it. No, it's unfortunate.

2253
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 2: So there's all those TV shows that everyone talks about

2254
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 2: that they loved and you hear it's a final episode

2255
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 2: and you kind of want to act like that you

2256
01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 2: were into it, but you you had no idea, Like

2257
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:16,040
Speaker 2: this is very kind of Game of Thrones for me.

2258
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 2: I never watched the Game of Thrones, like sil for me,

2259
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 2: like Seinfeld for you. Yeah, so Sopranos was my favorite show.

2260
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:26,679
Speaker 2: I don't I don't even know if Twitter was really

2261
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:29,600
Speaker 2: around at the end of the Sopranos, but like, I

2262
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 2: hadn't watched it for two years. But then I, you know,

2263
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:35,760
Speaker 2: everyone's losing their mind about the final episode. So that's

2264
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 2: how I feel about the PAC twelve network. It's a

2265
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:41,280
Speaker 2: show that I never watched, so I it's a network

2266
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:43,639
Speaker 2: in this instance that I never watched any of their games.

2267
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:46,479
Speaker 2: The only thing I remember about the PAC twelve network

2268
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:49,559
Speaker 2: is number one, it was a disaster to start with.

2269
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 2: Number two they had great people that worked for them.

2270
01:49:52,280 --> 01:49:54,679
Speaker 2: And number three they had a play by play guy

2271
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 2: leave a game early because he didn't reschedule his flight

2272
01:49:57,520 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 2: and he didn't want to miss time with his family. Kudo,

2273
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,400
Speaker 2: we all should love our family more. But bro, really,

2274
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:04,880
Speaker 2: you're leaving a game in the middle of set game

2275
01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 2: going on? What are we even going.

2276
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:12,559
Speaker 3: Get those logistics together? Brother? Geez, all right, r ip.

2277
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:14,960
Speaker 2: All right, couple of quick things before he put a

2278
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:15,879
Speaker 2: rap on this segment.

2279
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:17,840
Speaker 3: First of all, the game winner.

2280
01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:21,840
Speaker 2: Let's we've all agreed that tonight should be about the

2281
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 2: game winner from Luka Doncic. And here is what his

2282
01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 2: head coach, Jason Kidd, which I'm sure when you're Jason

2283
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:33,759
Speaker 2: Kidd and you have all these great ideas, plays you want, screens,

2284
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 2: you want to run, and how you get a guy

2285
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 2: a ball in maybe some space. I wonder if he's

2286
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 2: flexing on the on the call that he made to

2287
01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:46,639
Speaker 2: somehow end up with Donches being guarded by Rudy Gobert

2288
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:47,559
Speaker 2: or if he just.

2289
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 3: Sits back and he goes. I had nothing to do

2290
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:49,600
Speaker 3: with that.

2291
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:53,000
Speaker 2: Here's Jason Kidd afterwards on Luca's game winner that sent

2292
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:54,519
Speaker 2: the average up to games tonight.

2293
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,120
Speaker 22: We felt like they were going to read or Rudy,

2294
01:50:57,160 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 22: and they've been doing that pretty much, you know there

2295
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:03,240
Speaker 22: in the fourth quarter. So once we got Luca the ball,

2296
01:51:03,240 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 22: we wanted to give him space and let him do

2297
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 22: what he does. And I thought he set him up

2298
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:12,920
Speaker 22: for the step back because of him attacking the paint

2299
01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:16,320
Speaker 22: over and over. You know, Rudy has to honor that.

2300
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:21,519
Speaker 22: And so with Luca's ability to create space in that

2301
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,599
Speaker 22: you know moment, as you've seen with Luca, he loves

2302
01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:25,360
Speaker 22: that stage.

2303
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does. It's a great shot. I mean, it's

2304
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 2: an awesome moment. It's I mean, I don't want to

2305
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 2: get too carried away here, but so far it's kind

2306
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 2: of the signature moment of the playoffs.

2307
01:51:35,200 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 3: I mean, what's the what's the closest.

2308
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:41,920
Speaker 2: Thing, Well, hold on the Jalen Brown three in the corner, right,

2309
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 2: so fourth over time, that was pretty big.

2310
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:46,200
Speaker 3: Nim Hart's three, I'd say in that same series was

2311
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:51,040
Speaker 3: a big one. That was huge. That was huge. The

2312
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 3: shake gilg is Alexander foul.

2313
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, if he just you know, if he just would

2314
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 2: have pulled away and and if Washington would have hit

2315
01:51:57,760 --> 01:51:59,519
Speaker 2: the shot, then that would have been amazing.

2316
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:01,360
Speaker 3: That would have into the series. I don't know.

2317
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:04,639
Speaker 11: It's a rough moment, anti climactic way to win, slash

2318
01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:06,200
Speaker 11: lose a game with the free throws, you know.

2319
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 2: So, I guess the point is this was at the

2320
01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:10,759
Speaker 2: very least one of the top three or four moments

2321
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 2: so far of the postseason. I stepped back three poster outs,

2322
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 2: holds on for the win. We'll see if it takes

2323
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 2: him to a series win. But I'll tell you this much,

2324
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:24,759
Speaker 2: at least for a couple of hours afterwards, it ripped

2325
01:52:24,760 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 2: the soul out of Rudy Gobert.

2326
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 23: I mean, you just switch on a p No. I

2327
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:35,679
Speaker 23: was on Iso Little Kai and you know, big time shot,

2328
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:40,840
Speaker 23: you know. Yeah, I didn't match him down on the.

2329
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:44,640
Speaker 2: Last let my team down on the last play. I

2330
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 2: know about you, I don't know about the Royal y'all.

2331
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 2: But if one of my quote unquote better players got

2332
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:56,720
Speaker 2: beat at the end of the game like that, can't figure.

2333
01:52:56,720 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 2: I don't want them to be all sad. I want

2334
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 2: to be AnGR like, can't let that happen again. And

2335
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:04,320
Speaker 2: here's Rudy Gobert like crying in his oatmeal right now.

2336
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean, what come on, dude, we it's just game two.

2337
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:09,760
Speaker 2: Be crushed in the moment, yeah, and not understand what

2338
01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:10,080
Speaker 2: you mean.

2339
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:12,680
Speaker 11: But it's also when you're you've been that good for

2340
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 11: this long, you pride yourself on your defense, you play

2341
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:17,840
Speaker 11: defense as well as you possibly can, and a guy

2342
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:18,679
Speaker 11: still makes the shot.

2343
01:53:18,920 --> 01:53:21,280
Speaker 3: It's Anthony Davis against Jamal Murray in the first round.

2344
01:53:21,400 --> 01:53:23,120
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, it like that.

2345
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, Sorry not to bring up old wounds, but you know,

2346
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 11: someone asked Anthony Davis about it at the press conference

2347
01:53:28,160 --> 01:53:29,960
Speaker 11: and he just got up and left. He's like, he

2348
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:32,840
Speaker 11: made the shot and he just got up, and like

2349
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:37,120
Speaker 11: you're demoral when you try the hardest you can and

2350
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:40,720
Speaker 11: it still doesn't work. What is there to say. It's

2351
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:43,160
Speaker 11: the worst feeling in the world. Right It's like me

2352
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:45,320
Speaker 11: playing golf. I'm trying really hard, KF.

2353
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 3: We both can't get it done. All right. When we

2354
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:52,120

Speaker 2: on Friday nights.

2374
01:54:53,720 --> 01:54:55,360
Speaker 3: But I'm a little bit concerned. Now.

2375
01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:59,240
Speaker 2: You tell me your girlfriend is a Texas fan. Yeah,

2376
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:04,080
Speaker 2: so she is. She's from Austin, so you know she

2377
01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:05,880
Speaker 2: kind of has to be. But her whole family went

2378
01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 2: there and stuff. Oh no, I'm not. Baker Mayfield's from Austin,

2379
01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:11,120
Speaker 2: So I mean there's.

2380
01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 5: That, yeah, Travis High, Yeah, there you go.

2381
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,400
Speaker 2: I mean there's at least that. But all right, we'll

2382
01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:19,040
Speaker 2: work through this. Is this merely a bump in the road, okay? Yeah,

2383
01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:24,120
Speaker 2: As Michael Jordan once said, Republicans by sneakers too, right,

2384
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:29,000
Speaker 2: I've got to understand that Texas fans have ears too

2385
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:29,920
Speaker 2: when they can be listening.

2386
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:31,560
Speaker 6: And I had to at least clear the air. It

2387
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 6: couldn't be the secret between us, you know.

2388
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:35,800
Speaker 2: That's right, And I'm glad that you did. And I'm

2389
01:55:35,840 --> 01:55:37,400
Speaker 2: sure she is a lovely woman.

2390
01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:37,840
Speaker 3: I just.

2391
01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:41,760
Speaker 2: If it wasn't such a cold town, I think I

2392
01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:44,120
Speaker 2: would be a little bit more upset. I mean, if

2393
01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:48,480
Speaker 2: Austin wasn't just so incredible. So thanks guys, uh tyrack

2394

Speaker 2: dot com Studios, And as always, as soon as we're done,

2395
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:54,760

Speaker 2: so you can listen to Kevin and Ian and Mark

2397
01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:01,320
Speaker 2: and I go around. And if it's about what Luca did,

2398
01:56:01,720 --> 01:56:05,160
Speaker 2: are we gonna spend the day freaking out about Anthony Edwards?

2399
01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:06,480
Speaker 3: You choose? All right?

2400
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 2: A little hot potato with a couple of NFL storylines

2401
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:13,080
Speaker 2: this week. First, you're k Thig bringing up we have entered.

2402
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 2: He is in the best shape of his career season.

2403
01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:18,880
Speaker 2: In other words, this is where you get a lot

2404
01:56:18,920 --> 01:56:22,840
Speaker 2: of aggregated stories that make you no sense, Like I

2405
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,280
Speaker 2: guess Kayleb Williams is going to be terrible now because

2406
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 2: he had.

2407
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:26,440
Speaker 3: A bad practice.

2408
01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 2: But I think my other favorite is the this guy

2409
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 2: has never been in better shape than he is now,

2410
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:37,520
Speaker 2: and apparently, uh, Lamar Jackson isn't that category now. He

2411
01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 2: was asked about his weight loss this week.

2412
01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:42,160
Speaker 3: Exactly have you lost and why do you feel like?

2413
01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:42,240
Speaker 17: That?

2414
01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:42,920
Speaker 12: Was the portante.

2415
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:45,520
Speaker 9: I don't really know how many pounds lost night too

2416
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:47,440
Speaker 9: something right now, but I'll just say it with the

2417
01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 9: point of enough, I.

2418
01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:49,960
Speaker 3: Can be able to move around a little bit extra,

2419
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:52,320
Speaker 3: that's all. So I need to lose weight.

2420
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a little a little pudgy, right, I'm not

2421
01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 2: as heavy as I've ever been, but I'm I'm.

2422
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:00,840
Speaker 3: A check uncles.

2423
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:05,440
Speaker 2: I've never looked at Lamar Jackson and thought, my man

2424
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:09,600
Speaker 2: needs to cut the lbs. If there's anything I feel

2425
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 2: like he needs to have a double whopper or a

2426
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 2: quarter pound of a cheeser two. He is listed at

2427
01:57:17,840 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 2: two fifteen. At two fifteen, so if he's lost a

2428
01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:22,960
Speaker 2: little weight.

2429
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:28,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Fike, what's he down? Tore like two five? I mean,

2430
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:30,360
Speaker 3: what are we doing?

2431
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 2: So Lamar Jackson enters the best shape of his career conversation. Meanwhile,

2432
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:39,839
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott wants you to make sure that it's known

2433
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 2: that he's better than you and he's at a higher

2434
01:57:43,120 --> 01:57:49,120
Speaker 2: level of care and things that don't involve money.

2435
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:52,360
Speaker 24: I don't play for money, never have never cared for it.

2436
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 24: To be honest with you, we'll give it up just

2437
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:58,440
Speaker 24: to just to play this game. So so so I

2438
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 24: allow that to the business people to say, say what

2439
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 24: it's worth. What they're supposed to give a quarterback of

2440
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 24: my play, A person of my play, leader of my play,

2441
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:09,880
Speaker 24: I guess you could say. And for me, it's about

2442
01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:12,520
Speaker 24: as I said, control. I can control and handle that

2443
01:58:12,560 --> 01:58:13,960
Speaker 24: part and the rest of you take care of itself.

2444
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:17,400
Speaker 2: I like Dak, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard

2445
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 2: in my life. And I've heard some dumb s cowboy fans.

2446
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:22,040
Speaker 2: Come on, man, you got to feel the same way.

2447
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:25,400
Speaker 2: I don't play for the money. It's never been about that.

2448
01:58:26,520 --> 01:58:30,520
Speaker 2: I leave that to the business people. What I get it.

2449
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:33,520
Speaker 2: I know what you're trying to say they'll negotiate it all.

2450
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:37,440
Speaker 2: But you have a say, man, if it's not about

2451
01:58:37,480 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 2: the money and you're putting that out there, then take

2452
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:45,480
Speaker 2: less money. Make it easier on the cowboys. And by

2453
01:58:45,520 --> 01:58:48,480
Speaker 2: the way, we're not talking about Dak Prescott having to

2454
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 2: go from making ends meat to standing in the breadline somewhere.

2455
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:56,120
Speaker 2: We're still talking in excess of thirty plus million dollars, right,

2456
01:58:56,560 --> 01:58:58,440
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna come out and you're gonna spew

2457
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 2: that BS. I'm the biggest Dak Prescott supporter there is.

2458
01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:07,600
Speaker 2: I think he is unfairly criticized by cowboy fans. I

2459
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 2: think he's done a nice job cowboy fans. Quincy Carter's

2460
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 2: online one. Okay, we're not too terribly far removed from

2461
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 2: the disaster that was Drew Henson and Chad Hutchinson.

2462
01:59:20,280 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 3: All Right, it's been worse, But I mean.

2463
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:27,600
Speaker 2: It's almost like Dak says stuff and he's not thinking

2464
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:29,040
Speaker 2: out to play for the money.

2465
01:59:29,240 --> 01:59:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah you do, Yes, you do. I love my job.

2466
01:59:33,240 --> 01:59:35,440
Speaker 2: I love being able to sit here and have fun,

2467
01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 2: entertain and hang out with Kevint Mark and he and all.

2468
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:40,400
Speaker 3: I love it. But I'm sure as hell ain't doing

2469
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:41,360
Speaker 3: it unless they pay me.

2470
01:59:41,680 --> 01:59:45,480
Speaker 2: It's again, I mean, Dak, stop because now you've set

2471
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:50,440
Speaker 2: a precedent for me, cowboy fans and others that well,

2472
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:52,760
Speaker 2: when you're asking for a bunch of money, you're not

2473
01:59:52,800 --> 01:59:55,160
Speaker 2: doing it from a place of where it really matters

2474
01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:55,440
Speaker 2: to you.

2475
01:59:55,960 --> 01:59:56,520
Speaker 3: So stop.

2476
01:59:57,320 --> 02:00:01,240
Speaker 2: And then finally, I'm not over You're Dan Campbell yet

2477
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:04,400
Speaker 2: I'm still in right now, and I love what he

2478
02:00:04,520 --> 02:00:06,320
Speaker 2: has cooking in Detroit.

2479
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:10,520
Speaker 13: I don't see bust. I see super Bowl. I don't

2480
02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:14,440
Speaker 13: know what the bust is. So it's you know, here's

2481
02:00:14,440 --> 02:00:16,600
Speaker 13: what I know. Man, we all know what. Then every

2482
02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:17,600
Speaker 13: team I'll have that.

2483
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:21,120
Speaker 2: By the way, I think the best part in that

2484
02:00:21,480 --> 02:00:24,400
Speaker 2: is that the reporter felt like he needed to explain

2485
02:00:24,480 --> 02:00:25,160
Speaker 2: it to him.

2486
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:27,040
Speaker 13: Right, every team ought to be like, man, what are

2487
02:00:27,040 --> 02:00:28,720
Speaker 13: you playing for? You're playing for a super Bowl, So

2488
02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:31,200
Speaker 13: we're no different than that. But I think, yeah, we

2489
02:00:31,280 --> 02:00:33,840
Speaker 13: know that. Now we work backwards from there, and so

2490
02:00:34,040 --> 02:00:36,280
Speaker 13: you got to set yourself up no different than last year.

2491
02:00:36,440 --> 02:00:41,160
Speaker 13: Certain things you got to do to really make that valid,

2492
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 13: you know, make that a reality. And so that's yeah,

2493
02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 13: ultimately that's what we want to do now. To do that,

2494
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 13: you better win the division. You got to give yourself

2495
02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 13: the best odds you can, right, you need to win

2496
02:00:50,320 --> 02:00:53,640
Speaker 13: the division. You need the best seeding you possibly do. Okay, well,

2497
02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:55,040
Speaker 13: how you do that? Well, you got to start with

2498
02:00:55,080 --> 02:00:55,560
Speaker 13: where we're at.

2499
02:00:55,640 --> 02:00:55,760
Speaker 22: Now.

2500
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:57,120
Speaker 13: You got to go back to work. You got to

2501
02:00:57,160 --> 02:00:59,160
Speaker 13: do all the little things, which to this point our

2502
02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:01,200
Speaker 13: guys have done. Man, they've been here for off season.

2503
02:01:01,240 --> 02:01:03,680
Speaker 13: They're grinding, they're working. We're in good shape, we're strong,

2504
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 13: we're physical or explosive, and we're just in the beginning

2505
02:01:07,440 --> 02:01:07,720
Speaker 13: of this.

2506
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:09,120
Speaker 3: Nah, just getting going.

2507
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:12,280
Speaker 2: So basically, he was asked if it was Super Bowl

2508
02:01:12,360 --> 02:01:14,520
Speaker 2: or bust, and he basically just said, it's Super Bowl

2509
02:01:14,600 --> 02:01:15,000
Speaker 2: or bust.

2510
02:01:16,120 --> 02:01:18,560
Speaker 3: The Fellas are next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
