47
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 5: the story was George Foreman. In my opinion, some may

48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 5: say Joe Fraser, but hey, there was a trinity there

49
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 5: for some you know, for some of us. He passes

50
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: away at seventy six, didn't want to wait to send

00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: of a big joy George Man for one of y'all.

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 5: And did he impact you the way he impacted a

55
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 5: lot of people. I mean, dude also did it with

56
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 5: the grill, you know, made the form and grill and

57
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 5: invented that and went really.

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: Cool with that.

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 5: So anyway, passes away at seventy six, much respect due

60
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 5: to him.

61
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: Just a quick thought on him.

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: I mean for me personally, obviously, condolences to his family.

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: I'm a huge boxing fan, huge and so I never

64
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: met George Foreman personally, I you know, never been around him.

65
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: But with me being a huge boxing fan, I just

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: remember man when he came back, I believe in his

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: forties to fight. He wanted to be the oldest heavyweight

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: champ of the world. He loses to holy Field, he

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: loses a Tommy Morrison, and then he beats Michael Moore

70
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: at forty five, and that was crazy because Michael Moore

71
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 2: had beaten, if I'm not mistaken, holy.

72
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: Field Vander Holyfield.

73
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: For the IBF title and then forming a jab right

74
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: down the middle back to back and dropped him and

75
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: oldest heavyweight champ still to this day, you know, in

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: the history of the sport, that to me is what

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: I remembering. And then obviously, you know, younger people made

78
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: noime because of the George Foreman grill and that right there,

79
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: always smiling, always with a smile on the space. All

80
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: his kids named George the Girls or George Genis, so

81
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: you know he was gonna make sure his name lived on.

82
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: May his family be blessed during this time. But yeah,

83
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: the oldest heavyweight champ of the world man at forty five,

84
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: and you're going against these young bucks and had the

85
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: resilience to I lose a holy Field in my forties,

86
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: I lose a Tommy Morrison in my forties, and then

87
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: I beat Michael More who beat Holyfield who I lost to.

88
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: So yes, rest in peace of George Forman.

89
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 4: Oh Man definitely a big gloss man for uh, you know,

90
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,000

97
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 4: present condolences.

98
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

99
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: One of the other memories, of course, is when Big

100
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 5: George was bouncing you know, Joe Fraser off of the mat,

101
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: off of the mat one of them fights where you

102
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 5: knew that was going to be a serious, a serious

103
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: rumble between the two and and Big George was just

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 5: he was catching he was catching Fraser that day and

105
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 5: and was using him like a basketball on on the mat.

106
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: Now that's a long long time ago. And George.

107
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: Back then, back around Dynamite been playing around. If you recall,

108
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 5: Fraser had just not Lee. Fraser had just beaten not Lee,

109
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 5: and yeah, I think I think if I'm Forming knocked

110
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: him out in the second round.

111
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: It was cool long Dynamite.

112
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 5: Dynamite, Yeah, didn't take long and Joe Fraser had that

113
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 5: saving them five crackers and his ads too, so you

114
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 5: knew that was going to be a rumble. Man, he

115
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 5: will be sorely missed. But man, everybody doesn't get an

116

Speaker 2: at Arkansas Patino at Saint John's Patinos team, they might

160
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: mean what it's when my son tells me Saint John's

161
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 2: has a chance to win it all, they're really you

162
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: will see if my son know what he's talking about.

167
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 4: you know, making a run deep into this tournament. And

168
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: I've always said, man, being here for the last you know,

169
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 4: two decades when Saint John's is went as playing a

170
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: winning brand of basketball.

171
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: Man, it's just good for.

172
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: College basketball and his entirety because it's a it's a

173
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: it's a different feel, you know in the Northeast, especially uh,

174
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: you know they play all their home games that you

175
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: know at Madison Square Garden. You know that's electric. Everybody

176
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 4: knows how how the Knicks games are. But you know,

177
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 4: congrattive Tino man and getting this you know team back

178
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: to the tournament. I believe in twenty five years. I

179
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 4: mean that's that's a long time. I'm like, I think

180
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 4: that's back to the days of Ron our tests man

181
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: when when he was playing over the him LeVar post

182
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: of some of those guys.

183
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: Man, but you know, angrassing them.

184
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 4: But we all know who the basketball genius Savannah is

185
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: when it comes to picking these teams. You know, I

186
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 4: have my Spartans, my Green and White Sparty go getting

187
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: all the way to the final four.

188
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: He well, you all the way to the final four?

189
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: Stop all the way to final your bracket is busted.

190
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 4: Well, TJ, you don't have a bracket because your email

191
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: went to the spam.

192
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: So but Florida, see y'all picking what y'all y'all picking

193
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: with y'all heart. I'm not sicking with my heart. I

194
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: will say this.

195
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: I have my Spartans getting all the way to the

196
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 4: final four. Listen, I want my team to win a

197
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: national championship. But I had to get out of my

198
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: emotions because I'm you know, Florida is a better basketball

199
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: team than us. So I do have Florida beating us

200
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: in the final four, because that's just me.

201
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: You mean the championship, the championship game.

202
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 4: No, I got Florida winning the whole thing against Michigan

203
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: State is not making it to the final four.

204
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: They are not making it to the.

205
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: D's.

206
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen.

207
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I just you know, I looked

208
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 5: at the I looked at this bracket differently this year

209
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 5: after looking at how scrutinized just a smaller version of

210
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 5: this bracket for the Football to College Football Playoff, and

211
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 5: I was like, man, like, there are some people that

212
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 5: there are some teams that have a better path to

213
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 5: getting to where they're trying to get to than the others.

214
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 5: And I think when I simulated it, Michigan State had

215
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 5: one of the better pathways to getting to forward than

216
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 5: the other than some of these other teams, and some

217
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 5: of that played a part and why I have them

218
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 5: getting there. Nonetheless, Izo is a beast. He knows how

219
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 5: to do it. He has his team playing really well,

220
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 5: and I you know, I think that they have a

221
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 5: very very nice pathway to getting where they're trying to

222
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: get to.

223
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: I mean, what Iowa State or Ole miss to get to.

224
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: The Sweet sixteen, right, I mean, now then they got

225
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 5: to see Arkansas or Saint John's most likely, right, if

226
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 5: that's going to be their hardest game all the way up.

227
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: In Iowa State? Is Iowa State is a really good team.

228
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 5: Okay, but Michigan State is a really good team. Like

229
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. He said Iowa State is

230
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: a good team. That's fine, But Michigan State is a

231
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: really good team.

232
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: They are, but I don't think they can beat Iowa State.

233
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 2: That's just you know, come on to my opinion now.

234
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: In years past, Yeah, Michigan State is always one of

235
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: the top programs in the country, no doubt that. But

236
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 2: they've been down, like they're.

237
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: Talking about there, having eight of our last nine, of

238
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 4: our last ten games we've won. I think that game,

239
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 4: that that loss that we had the Wisconsin was good

240
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: for us because it reset us because we had just

241
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 4: won eight games in a row.

242
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: So what nine out of the last ten?

243
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 4: And what he's saying is that we have the best

244
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: pathway of all of these teams to reach in the

245
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: final four. We're not saying that we're the best team

246
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 4: in the tournament. But if you look at Houston, you

247
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 4: look at Duke, you look at Florida, all those teams

248
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: that they have to get through and Tennessee to get

249
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: to the final four. What he's saying and what he's

250
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: trying to get through your head over there, that all

251
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: that nice, luxurious, shiny head that you got. Is that

252
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 4: team have the best chance out of all of these

253
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 4: teams from who we have to play against to get

254
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 4: to the final four.

255
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would to agree with that, but hey, you know,

256
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 5: we'll see how it all plays out.

257
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: Will never know what TJ's picks were really truly o.

258
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: August State, he.

259
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: Was in the spam so shots out the crew together

260
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 5: in all sports.

261
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna get involved. I mean, now you are

262
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: a beaver.

263
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 5: And speaking of you being a beaver, you were also

264
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 5: so uh uh Cincinnati Bengal and you know what on

265
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 5: the other side of the break, two superstar wide receivers

266
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 5: a duo much like you know o Cho and TJ.

267
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 5: You know, okay who Shin And yeah, you know that

268
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 5: guy A you know Chinko. All right, they were a duo.

269
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,680

287
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati Bengals. They have done something that well seemingly

288
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 5: or maybe not but could be something that they generally

289
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 5: just don't do, and that's opened up them perse strings

290
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: and pay some cash to some of the players that

291
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 5: will are deserving of the pay that they have worked

292
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 5: so hard to get and to earn. Receiver duo, they

293
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 5: sign new deals with the team T Higgins Jamar Chase.

294
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: They sign up.

295
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: Now we all know that the Chase, the Jamar Chase

296
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 5: contract is legit, a lot of guaranteed money in there.

297
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 5: It's a legit contract. But T Higgins. While it sounds

298
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 5: like a very very large contract, I mean when you

299
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 5: cut through the fat of it and you check it

300
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 5: out at face value, there's really only something like what

301
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 5: like twenty million or something like that, tj at the

302
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 5: signing the bonus of it all, and then the rest

303
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 5: of it is based upon his playing time a large

304
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 5: part of it. But this really only looks like a

305
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: for real, for real like a one year deal because

306
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 5: there are no real guarantees outside of the signing bonus

307
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 5: that he's receiving or has received by now at this point,

308
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 5: what's your.

309
00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: Take on it?

310
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 5: Did you did you like the the you know, did

311
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 5: you like this these signings? Do you feel like this

312
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 5: is a step in the right direction for the Cincinnati Bengals?

313
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 5: How close did you look at it?

314
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: I mean me personally, the Bengals have all they're gonna

315
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: always sign. They quarterback obviously, and they number one receiver,

316
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: so it was just a matter of time before Chase

317
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: got his deal. T Higgins. That's a different story. I

318
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: look at it as these are two dudes have earned

319
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: it and they received it. It's not like it was

320
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: given to them. These dudes went out there and had

321
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: to bust. They tails to earn his money. Who else

322
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: was the Bengals gonna give it to? Who else on

323
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 2: the team? Trey Hendrickson. They signed him as a free

324
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: agent from the Saints. They gave him at the time,

325
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: I thought when the Bengals when we signed Trey Hendrickson,

326
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: a great deal. Now now he's underpaid. Outside of signing

327
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson's to extension, who else on that team has

328
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: earned a deal. So you got to pay somebody. Pay

329
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: the guys that have earned it. They've earned it. Now

330
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: when you talk about I think he got a great deal.

331
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: Could he have gotten more on an open market? Probably so, But.

332
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 5: He could have got more off of just the franchise

333
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 5: tag too. That's not guarantee in terms of guarantees guaranteed money.

334
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 5: He would have got like what like twenty four off

335
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 5: of the tag. He gets like twenty or something to

336
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 5: that effect off of the signing bonus.

337
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: He's making thirty million guaranteed from a roster bonus in

338
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: twenty four Yes.

339
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 5: Guarantee, no no, no no, yes, his signing million.

340
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: Parents signing upon signing he's going to get.

341
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: As a roster bonus in twenty twenty five, and twenty

342
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: twenty six, that is guaranteed. That's a thirty million dollar guarantee.

343
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but guarantees aren't guaranteed.

344
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: And it's twenty twenty six, but no, those.

345
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 5: Are that's hidden because it's a roster bonus, meaning you

346
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 5: got to be on the roster. I think it's playing

347
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 5: time though if.

348
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 4: I read he has like a two million dollar.

349
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: Per game, Yes, the per game if you're active, you

350
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 2: get to think me like one hundred and eighteen thousand

351
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: per game that he's active because he's been quote unquote hurt. Now,

352
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: the deal obviously is going to have some he.

353
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 5: Has to be on the roster though he has to

354
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 5: be he's not going, okay.

355
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: Not on the roster. He has to be active, okay,

356
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: So yeah, so what's that on the forty six man roster.

357
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 5: That's not a guarantee, Like it's a guarantee, but it's

358
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 5: not a guarantee.

359
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 2: That's part is in a guarantee. But he still has

360
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars in guarantees.

361
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, but but again, like it's it's the language of

362
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 5: it says it's guaranteed, but they actually it's not necessarily

363
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 5: guaranteed if he's not on the roster, right, if he's

364
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 5: not on the roster or not active roster.

365
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 4: Are you implying that if they cut him, he doesn't

366
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 4: get the money.

367
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 5: Well, yes, that is what happens if he gets if

368
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 5: he's not on the roster, if he gets cut, he

369
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 5: doesn't get the money.

370
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: Into me, he's a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, He's

371
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 4: guaranteed to make money whether he's stand on the side line.

372
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: But what makes that either.

373
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: I agree with you, guys, But what makes that relevant?

374
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you guys? Wouldn't you guys say? What makes that

375
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 5: relevant in this scenario is that T. Higgins has had

376
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 5: some some injuries that have kept him out. He's had

377
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 5: for extensive amounts of time. So if you're you're basically

378
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 5: you're hadging your back, you're saying, yeah, we're gonna give

379
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: you I've had I mean, I know I've had these

380
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 5: these clauses in my own contracts.

381
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: I know what I'm talking about.

382
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 5: If if for some strange reason, say T Higgins, he

383
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: has an injury that that holds him out and they

384
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 5: have success this year, do you think they're going to

385
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: bring T. Higgins back for the next season. Yes, I

386
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 5: don't think so amount of money that they're guaranteeing them.

387
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

388
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 2: Yes, it gives them an out.

389
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: It gives them an out.

390
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: It will be Higgins will be playing for the Cincinnati

391
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: Bengals for the next four years. That's a guarantee. And

392
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 2: that's one thing about the Bengals. When they sign you

393
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 2: to very very rarely, you just go through the history

394
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: of the Cincinnati Bengals, very rarely do they release guys

395
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 2: when they sign them the deals unless you just flat

396
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: out garbage.

397
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: That's garbage. I think it's about if he were to

398
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: get injured and he were.

399
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: To miss and then when you injured that nobody can

400
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: be released with an injury.

401
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you can't. If you can, if you can

402
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 5: decide not to bring them back for the following season

403
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 5: and put.

404
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: And you get paid for that. Nobody can get cut,

405
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: LeVar and not be paid if you don't get paid

406
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: for that.

407
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: If you can get an injury settlement, you could get.

408
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: A you know, LeVar, listen to what I telling you.

409
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: I'm listening.

410
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 2: If a guy is released and he cannot pass a

411
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: physical and you are released, that salary that you're going

412
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: to make, you're gonna make it not the bonus. Also,

413
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: they can release you if you're hurt. There's no injury settlement.

414
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 2: Whatever's on your contract guaranteed for injury only if you

415
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: see that in the contract, if you are hurt. He's

416
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 2: getting that money. We talking about him being hurt. He's

417
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: never roster bonus, he's never had a major injury. He's

418
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: had a little knickknacks. So I don't have a little

419
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: doubt in my mind. He's going to be an expert.

420
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 5: I'm no contract expert, but I do disagree with what

421
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 5: you're saying right now, if.

422
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: You listen now, because we're talking about this. As for Higgins,

423
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: he got thirty million fully guaranteed a signing that I

424
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: just have to look it up because I knew. I

425
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: knew I read it right the first time.

426
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 5: It's not fully, it's not thirty fully, it's like twenty.

427
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 5: It's like twenty or something to that. Well, the it's

428
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 5: not a full thirty like I signed it. I'm getting

429
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 5: thirty million. That's not that's not well.

430
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: I guess the NFL page is wrong because it says

431
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: as for Higgins, he got thirty fully guaranteed. That sounds

432
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: like it's fully guaranteed.

433
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: Listen, I don't think that T Higgins would have signed

434
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 4: this deal if he thought that in any way, shape

435
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 4: or for him that it was a one year deal.

436
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 4: I believe that he could have went out on the

437
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 4: open market and got more money from another team. But

438
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 4: use he's playing with, He's playing with Joe Burrow and

439
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 4: Jamal Chase. Why would you want to leave that relationship,

440
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 4: that marriage, especially with Joe Burrow, who was arguably the

441
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: best quarterback in football, and go play somewhere else for

442
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 4: a few four or five or six million dollars more.

443
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense. But for me, the Bengals, I

444
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 4: think they they they compensated these guys. They earned the money,

445
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: just like TJ said, but I think they went about

446
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 4: it the wrong way. They could have paid T Higgins

447
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 4: two years ago, five years.

448
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: When he was on a franchise tag.

449
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: And now with the signing of these two guys, I

450
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 4: believe that Trey Henderson is gonna is going to be

451
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 4: the guy that's out of the look because out of

452
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 4: all three of these eyes, Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase and

453
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 4: T Higgins, out of two hundred and seventy nine million

454
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 4: dollars in the salary cap they take up one hundred

455
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 4: and twenty.

456
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: Four million, and that's just three players. So I don't

457
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: know what the same Cinnati bankers are going to.

458
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 4: Do moving forward defensively, but they have to be able

459
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 4: to find a way to stop people on the other

460
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 4: side of the football. It's no it's no way in

461
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: the world which Joe Burrow should be throwing for them.

462
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 4: They're five thousand yards and they can't even get into

463
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

464
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: They need a defense, right.

465
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 5: I want to go back to this though, I still

466
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 5: think that that thirty million, the twenty million.

467
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 4: Says it's fully guarantee of ball and is not on

468
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 4: the SATs he wants to be.

469
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 5: It has offsets, that has its subject to offsets. He

470
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 5: gets twenty million on his roster bonus this March, ten

471
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 5: million roster bonus next March. That next March has offsets

472
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 5: connected to it.

473
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 4: So are you saying that they are going they're gonna

474
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 4: cut him after the seasons over so he won't receive

475
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: his team.

476
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: And what I'm saying is, I think I believe what

477
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: I mean. We can make a nice little bet. I'll

478
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: give you great odds too that he gets this ten

479
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: million roster bonus. I'll give you the best size of

480
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: I give you better eyes in Vegas.

481
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 5: All I'm telling you is is that what it sounds

482
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 5: like to me, jerks, is that this this situation that

483
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 5: they have right now is based upon them trusting or

484
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 5: not trusting that t Higgins can stay.

485
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 3: They're they're hedging their bet.

486
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 5: They're hedging their bet by making it a guarantee where

487
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 5: the ten million comes next year for the roster bonus

488
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 5: next year. So his signing bonus, the money he gets

489
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 5: right now, that goes into his bank account. It's twenty

490
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 5: million dollars. It's twenty million dollars. That's the only money

491
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 5: that that's the only money he's going to get.

492
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: That's get that can happen, That can happen to anybody.

493
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, but if you have a thirty million guaranteed, it's

494
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 5: not deferred. It's not like that that extra ten is

495
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 5: deferred to next year. It's not deferred.

496
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: This like every contract, he has to.

497
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: Be on the roster to get that ten million. He

498
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 3: has to roster boner to get to.

499
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 4: The roster bonus is for it is basically in every

500
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: player's contract, and you don't get it all in the

501
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 4: same year. We were just having these conversations last week

502
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: or a couple to go about with Kirk Cousins.

503
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: When come when man man, come out, bro, just make

504

505
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 2: come to a decision.

506
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: Consult you have two million.

507
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 4: If that million, you have to come to a decision

508
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 4: as an organizations.

509
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: Come March or the following year.

510
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 4: If you want to correct, give that player, Hey, the

511
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 4: roster bonus. The same thing happening with Kirk Cousins. It's

512
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: the same every contract.

513
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 3: But if they have Kirk Cousins. Okay, So so let's

514
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 3: start right there.

515
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: Plex If they had let Kirk Cousins go before that date,

516
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: that took in that roster bonus, you get that money,

517
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: yes or no, Yes or no, but they gave it

518
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 5: to him yes or no. No. That's not what I

519
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 5: asked you, Plexico Burst, Plexico Burst, that's not what I

520
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 5: asked you.

521
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 3: I asked Plexico Burst, if.

522
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 5: The Minnesota Vikings had let release released Sam Darnold before

523
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 5: that roster that guaranteed roster bonus.

524
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: You approve of my point.

525
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: It's in every car, it's in everybody's contract.

526
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 3: Plexico Burst, if they let him go before he gets

527
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: to that date.

528
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 5: To get that right, bonus is not get paid, then

529
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 5: it's not guaranteed, guaranteed does not get paid.

530
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: Thank you. Then we're that you every play you every.

531
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: Played, that's every player in the league, LeVar.

532
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: Not Deshaun.

533
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: Actual question, actual question. Yes, So he has a twenty

534
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: million dollars roster bonus do March twenty twenty five? Correct?

535
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 3: That's crazy?

536
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: Is he going to hold up? Hold up? Is he

537
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: going to receive that? With you assise? Okay, hold on,

538
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 2: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. He's going

539
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: to receive that twenty million? Correct?

540
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: Correct?

541
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: You know what his base salary is for twenty twenty five?

542
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: Not much?

543
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: Oh it's fourteen million, Yes, it is much fourteen million.

544
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: So that right there, that right there, that right there

545
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 2: is LeVar. That's thirty four million right there. That's thirty

546
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: four million right there in year one. So you think

547
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: they're going to pay him thirty four million dollars in

548
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: one year in releasing or is he going to see

549
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: that ten? No, no, no, no, la, I'm asking you

550
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: a question.

551
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: I mean you're asking me. I'm answering.

552
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 2: No, you're not answering you're going into an explanation that's

553
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: a yes or no.

554
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: If he is healthy, he will be on the team

555
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 3: in the result of money.

556
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: But you can't cut it because because he's hurt LeVar,

557
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: he has a thirteen point eight million dollars base salary

558
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five. That's basically thirty four million dollars

559
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: in year one, and then as soon as the season

560
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: is over, what they're gonna give you ten more. So,

561
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: now that's forty four million dollars within the span of

562
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: a year of signing the contract.

563
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 5: All right, I mean, I'm not I'm not gonna you

564
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 5: guys make valid points with much you're making points for.

565
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 5: But the bottom line is is that that man is

566
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 5: only guaranteed twenty million dollars.

567
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 3: That's it. That's all he guaranteed.

568
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 4: Is he only guaranteed twenty million. That is his pure guarantee,

569
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 4: twenty million dollars point eight million dollars the season in

570
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 4: Michigan State.

571
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 5: But I can add his only guaranteed money that they

572
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 5: have to pay all the hook to pay for is

573
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 5: the twenty million at signing.

574
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: There make this twenty million, and they don't release him

575
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: before the season starts. Hopefully that happens.

576
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: Well, not before the next the next one.

577
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 5: No, no, no, before this season, because before the roster

578
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 5: for or for for for what he's getting playing during

579
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 5: the season. I mean, obviously, if he's going to play,

580
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 5: he's gonna get paid. I'm not I'm not arguing that.

581
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 5: What I'm saying is if anything were to happen, if

582
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 5: he did it released for some strange reason, he gets released. Like,

583
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 5: for instance, if if Deshaun Watson gets released for any

584
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 5: reason whatsoever, he is getting his money. He's getting all

585
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 5: the money that is in his contract because it is

586
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 5: a fully guaranteed, fully guaranteed contract. This kid does not

587
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: have a fully guaranteed contract. There are out there offsets

588
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson does. Deshaun Watson has.

589
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: A fully guarantee contract. This is not a fully guaranteed contract.

590
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: The only thing, I mean, we spent the whole segment.

591
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: Out of Deshaun Watson has a fully guaranteed contract. Nobody,

592
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: thank you nobody.

593
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, the history he's been the age old, that's always

594
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 5: been the age old discussion of what takes place within

595
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 5: the NFL versus other sports. That's the whole point of

596
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 5: what I was making because in theory, in theory, in theory,

597
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 5: he makes more off of his franchise tag. If he

598
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 5: were to take a franchise tag, in theory, he gets

599
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 5: more guaranteed money up front than what he does.

600
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: When he does track.

601
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 4: He did true franchise tag for the wide receiver. True

602
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 4: twenty five season is twenty three point nine million. He

603
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: would have got twenty six because he was franchised last year.

604
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 4: But hold up, if he have a if he has

605
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 4: a twenty million dollar roster bonus, thirteen point eight salary, Yes,

606
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 4: the last check, that's basically thirty four million. He was

607
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 4: going to make twenty six. He's making eight more million

608
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 4: dollars at the.

609
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: Last check based off of him playing. So how is

610
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: he making.

611
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: It's not based off him playing lvars, based off him

612
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: being on a roster. It's not plain. And if he's

613
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: on the and if he plays, it's actually going to

614
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: be more. It's actually going to be more than thirty

615
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: thirty three point eighty to be about thirty.

616
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 3: Screaming at me, don't mean that it makes what y'all. Hey,

617
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: let's let's get on the act.

618
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: He let's get it.

619
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: On.

620
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,320

Speaker 6: at each other. Well, no argument so far in Round

628
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 6: two of the UNCAA Tournament, because four seed Perdue is

629
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 6: up twenty seven to eleven over twelve seed McNeese at

630
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 6: the seven forty six mark of the first half. Purdue

631
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 6: has started the game eleven out of eighteen from the

632
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 6: field for sixty one percent, including five three pointers. McNeice

633
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 6: just four out of fifteen from the floor for twenty

634
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 6: seven percent. Coming up next to two forty Eastern two seeds,

635
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 6: Saint John's takes on ten seed Arkansas on Friday night.

636
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 6: Two time heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman passed away at

637
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 6: the age of seventy six. Let's take a special listen

638
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 6: back to one of his greatest victories, his nineteen seventy

639
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 6: three heavyweight title win over Joe Frazier at Kingston, Jamaica.

640
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 6: Through the perspective of the one and only Howard co.

641
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: Sal recruited, I think Foreman might be killing, literally killing.

642
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: He is Crazier a game.

643
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: Yes he's down.

644
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: He is down from the fourth time in the fight.

645
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: But quick left from Jordan. I know Crazier is down

646
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: from the fifth time in this fight.

647
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: Tat dragged this, but George Brahmans, it is Taga track.

648
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: Razier is ready to go again.

649
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 4: Joe is standing, he goes.

650
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: It is over.

651
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: It is over, guys, back to you appreciate it, sir?

652
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: All right?

653
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 5: Well, at any rate, congratulations to t Higgins and Jamar Chase.

654
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: It's still a lot of money, no matter, Tomato, Tomato,

655
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 3: He's still a ton of money.

656
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: One thing the Bengals are going to have to do, though,

657
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to draft very well on the defensive

658
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: side of the ball, because when you put all your

659
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: resources to signing your offensive players to these extensions, you're

660
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: gonna have to build through the draft on the defense

661
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: side of the ball. And so guys like Mile Murphy,

662
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: who we drafted out the first round from Clemson, we

663
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: need you to play better, Buddy. Well the first round

664
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: draft picks and the second and third, we're gonna go

665
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: heavy on the draft on defense. These guys gotta produce

666
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: that that that's.

667
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 5: Gonna be the key they gotta it's gonna be the

668
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: biggest piece of it is what y'all do on defense.

669
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: This is up on Game.

670
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 5: That's Plex, Ko Burs, t J Hudchemonside, I'm LeVar Arrington

671
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 5: on the other side of the break.

672
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 3: Hmm.

673
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 5: There was a visit to the Steelers. I guess when

674
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,959
Speaker 5: one doesn't want you, you gotta go knock out.

675
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: The other door. Spend six hours we're gonna talk about it.

676
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: Is there a deal to be made?

677
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 5: Is up on Game. Fox Sports Radio will be right back.

684
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 5: got cuts the legend coming on as well. We'll revisit

685
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 5: some of this march Matt and it's taking place. See

686
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 5: if TJ is right more so than uh he's been

687
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 5: in these last couple segments.

688
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: Anyway. Uh, let's uh no, no, that was no good.

689
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 3: All right, anyway, let's talk about Aaron Rodgers.

690
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

691
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 5: The same things seemed to have fallen apart between Aaron

692
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 5: Rodgers and Minnesota. Who that's that's a ledge that that's

693
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 5: where he really wanted to be. They they said they're

694
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 5: focused in on JJ McCarthy and don't want to sign

695
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers at this time. And uh, and you know

696
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 5: they're moving on to see what happens there. But Aaron

697
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 5: Rodgers goes, he visited, he visits the Stillers. Uh for

698
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 5: six hours. There was no deal done. But do you

699
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 5: guys think there can be a deal done at this

700
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 5: point with Pittsburgh? Do you think a deal gets done

701
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 5: at this point? What other options is he going to have?

702
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's the Giants signed Jamis Winston and so

703
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: I believe they're out of Aaron Rodgers business.

704
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay.

705
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: The thing is, if Aaron Rodgers wanted to sign with

706
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: the Steelers, he would have already signed. There's something there

707
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: that's holding me back. And I don't think Cam Hayward

708
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: coming out saying what he's saying makes it better. Oh,

709
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: you either want to sign with us or you don't. Well,

710
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: if I wanted to sign with you, I would have

711
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: been signed.

712
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: True like you.

713
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: Acting like the Steelers is the chief, The Steelers ain't

714
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: the Steelers. Like when I played, when I was playing,

715
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: the Steelers was competing for Super Bowl WHOA am I lying?

716
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: What lie have I told? When I was playing? When

717
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: I was playing, the Steelers were competing for Super Bowls.

718
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: The Steelers have not won a playoff game, if I'm

719
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: not mistaken, In nine years, nine years they haven't won

720
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: a playoff game. So all this they not the Steelers

721
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: of when I played. Of course they got a reputation,

722
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: but their reputation.

723
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 3: Can they be better with Aaron Rodgers?

724
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 2: I believe they can be really good with Aaron Rodgers,

725
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: I really do. I believe they can be when you

726
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: have DK and George Pick and you have the potential

727
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: to have one of the best pair of receivers on

728
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 2: the team. Now the key would be with Arthur Smith,

729
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: who likes to run a two yard and cloud of

730
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: dust offense. He did it in Minnesota, I mean in Minnesota.

731
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: He did it in Tennessee, he did it in Atlanta,

732
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: he did it last year in Pittsburgh. Would he be

733
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: open to changing his offensive philosophy? I believe the way

734
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers played down the stretch, he'd be a great addition.

735
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 2: But he hasn't signed, so that makes me believe I

736
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 2: don't know if that's something he wants to do. That's

737
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: the thing. I just.

738
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: One thing that kind of you know, uh, you know,

739
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 4: kind of alarms me is that we just keep talking

740
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 4: about Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, and he's like

741
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 4: holding all of these teams and organizations Hodges basically basically

742
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 4: uh you know, talking about him and the media like

743
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 4: every single day because he thinks that he is like

744
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 4: this great Well, he is a great quarterback, but he's

745
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 4: not Aaron Rodgers of ten years ago.

746
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: I don't know where he's.

747
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: Going to end up.

748
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: But even if he goes to Pittsburgh, I don't think

749
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 4: that that that this makes them a contender to win

750
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 4: the World Championship based off of the division that they

751
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 4: are in. I mean, that's just that's just me being

752
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 4: honest with with how Baltimore Lamar and the Cincinnati Bengals

753
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: and Joe Burrow are playing right now, you just you

754
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 4: expect for those teams to get better. And and Najea

755
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 4: Harris came out and said last year, within his offense,

756
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 4: we did not have no identity. And everybody knows that

757
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Standard is that we want

758
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 4: to run the football. So you signed DK Metcalf and

759
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 4: you obviously you have George Pickens over there. Just like

760
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 4: TJ said, does Arthur Smith come in and change the

761
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 4: philosophy of his offense and start throwing the ball around

762
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 4: the yard forty five times a game? That hasn't been

763
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 4: what the stealers have been traditionally. So I don't know

764
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 4: what's going to happen where Aaron Rodgers is going to be.

765
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 4: Just like he just say, he's running out of options.

766
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 4: I believe that he will end up in Pittsburgh because

767
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 4: it seems like to me that the Venezula Vikings are

768
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 4: running with JJ McCarthy.

769
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it sounds like they might want to throw

770
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 5: the ball around in Pittsburgh by bringing DK in. So

771
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 5: we'll see what happens with that. But man, could it

772
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 5: end up being him just retiring. I mean, that would

773
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 5: be kind of a lackluster way of finishing out your career.

774
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 5: But hey, it's his decision. He has a Hall of

775
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 5: Fame career first ballot at that, so we'll see how

776
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 5: it all plays out. I'm thinking it's going to be

777
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh as well, but hey, we'll see how it happens.

778
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 3: Hour two is coming at you.

779
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 5: We'll be having cuffs, the legend on from some dude

780
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 5: show this Fox Sports Radio up on games stayed locked

781
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:20,600
