Speaker 2: either nailed it and crushed it or we boy, did

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: we fail it and get it wrong. We've got some

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: amazing guests today. NBA reporter Melissa Rowland, Fox Sports Adam

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: a mean. He's joining us from the booth moments before

Speaker 2: he calls a game an hour two. We have producer

21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Ian with us today, Technical producer Chris.

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: And Martin why is at the news desk.

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: But Carmie, we got we got some good some good stuff.

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: This week, and we're gonna start with our nailed it

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: or failed it.

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: And as I just mentioned, we're each going to.

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: Give either a take that we nailed, got right, or

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: failed and it can be about anything, so we can

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: go a lot different places here.

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with a nailed it.

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: Because we talked about this, I think like last month

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: maybe where I said Kirk Cousins would be the perfect

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: mentor for Fernando Mendoza in Vegas, and we said we

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: didn't know. We didn't know Vegas could pull this off

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: because Cousins, he's got an incredible agent and he's expensive.

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: But they got it done. They it's happening.

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: I was. I was really like the one thing about

38
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: that where I was really unsure of was like, does

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: Kirk still think of himself as a starter?

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: Well, so that was so that was here. This is

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: this is a different situation.

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: Okay.

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: So as we mentioned, like.

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins like agent needs to be studied for the

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: deals that he has gotten.

46
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: This maykes phenomenal, it's insane.

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: So this contract could be worth to one hundred and

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: seventy million over five years, but it's one year, twenty million.

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: Fully guaranteed.

50
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: Now of cousins salary this season, one point three million

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: will be paid by Vegas and the remainder by the Falcons,

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: with another ten million fully guaranteed do the third day

53
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: of the new league year of March twenty twenty seven

54
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: that will be paid by Vegas. And then along with

55
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: that the deal includes two years at eighty million, although

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: only twenty million of this year is fully guaranteed. Now,

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: we all know and love Kirk Cousins. We had him

58
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: on our Super Bowl show. He is the most down

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: to earth rad Dad is what I called him, and

60
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: he told us he needs that on his daily alarm clock,

61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: twig them up every day. And we've all had a

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: front row seat to sweet sweet Fernanda Mendoza this year

63
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: and he seems as good as they come. Right, So

64
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: it hasn't happened, But like we all know and believe,

65
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: he is going number one overall to Vegas. And this pair,

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: this duo, is the two perfect quarterbacks that you would

67
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: want in Vegas.

68
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: You do not have to worry about them.

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: They're not going to be out gambling at the tables,

70
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: drinking region at the clubs until the sun comes up.

71
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: These are two extremely like in the most beautiful way possible,

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: nerdy quarterbacks that are just there for the love of

73
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: the game. They love their families.

74
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: They love their teammates.

75
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: We just saw Fernando's pro day where he before he

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: would throw his routes, he would let all the scouts

77
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: know what he was throwing so he could shine a

78
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: light on his receivers so everyone could see that they

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: were running the perfect routes. I am here also for

80
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: all the memes that have been coming out of Doctor

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: Evil and Mini Me, but if they were nerdy quarterbacks

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: of Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza, this is just going

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: to be such an incredible opportunity for Mendoza to learn

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: from a respected veteran like Kirk is now going to

85
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: be be help the next generation quarterback. But it's different

86
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 2: this time for Kirk Cousins because he's going in knowing

87
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: his role. He's most likely going to start the season

88
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: as the starter, but he knows he is not the future.

89
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: That was not the case when he signed the deal

90
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. He thought he was the future, and then

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: they drafted a quarterback in the first round. He did

92
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: not know that was going to happen. We did not

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: think that was going to happen. This is a completely

94
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: different situation. He knows they have the number one overall pick.

95
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: They are getting Fernando Mendoza. He is coming in in

96
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: a mentorship role, hopefully to start the season, because we

97
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: heard Clint Kubiak, writer's new head coach, say, ideally they

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: don't want Fernando to start from day one. You'd love

99
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: to see him be able to learn behind somebody that's

100
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: in a perfect world.

101
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't always work that way, but.

102
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: Now it will because now they have a great, great,

103
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: great veteran quarterback for Fernando to learn from, and it

104
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: feels like their personalities are gonna mesh really well.

105
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: Carmie, I'm very like I said, I'm still very interested

106
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: to see like what ends up happening. But I do

107
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 4: think that this is kind of the ideal scenario for Kirk,

108
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: whether or not he realizes it, because of if you

109
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 4: look at what happened with the Falcons and none of

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: it made sense, It's very clear now like a nightsight,

111
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: that none of that made sense, and there were clearly

112
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 4: like people had different ideas at the top leadership wise

113
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: in the Falcons organization of like what they wanted their

114
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: quarterback teacher to look like, and it just it didn't

115
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 4: make sense the way that everything was laid out there

116
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 4: here in Vegas. You don't want to rely on Kirk

117
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: necessary to be your starter because he's older, he now

118
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: has a very significant injury history, and you don't, like,

119
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 4: you don't want your entire franchise to ride with Kirk

120
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 4: as the only option. Right At the same time, you're

121
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: also investing the most you could possibly invest in a

122
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 4: rookie in Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick, which

123
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 4: carries a lot of weight too. So I like what

124
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 4: they're doing in Vegas. I'm still very interested to see

125
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: if Kirk does actually start week one because it depends

126
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: on well, I think it depends on how what Fernando

127
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: Mendoza shows you. I mean, at the end of the day,

128
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 4: in a perfect world, I know Klin Kubik said, like,

129
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 4: in an ideal world, Fernando doesn't have to start. But

130
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: I think in an actually perfect world, you see enough

131
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 4: from Fernando that you can throw him out there right

132
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: away because you feel good about it, and you want

133
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 4: to get him in there right away, and you want

134
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: to get him used to the team that he's going

135
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: to be captain and he's going to be the head

136
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 4: of for for the foreseeable future. Like that's that's in

137
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: a perfect world. Now what happens, I don't know, but

138
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: I think the Raiders have insulated themselves in multiple scenarios.

139
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: Now where you have like your perfect perfect scenario and

140
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: now you have your ideal scenario as like your most

141
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: likely scenario, and then you have like you have options,

142
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: is what I'm getting at. And I really I think

143
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 4: that John Spytech in Las Vegas, this was a really

144
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: good deal. And again just to get I think, as

145
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: somebody tweeted this out, but like just to get the number,

146
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: like one hundred and seventy two million dollar number on

147
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: paper is a feat in and of itself for Mike McCartney,

148
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: who is who is Kirk Cousin's agent, and maybe he's

149
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: a great guy.

150
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: It needs to be studied what he has done throughout

151
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: Kurt's well Kirk.

152
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 4: So if Kirk, if Kirk ends up having if Kirk,

153
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: if this works out like not this first year, I

154
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: think if he gets any more money past what he's guaranteed,

155
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: he will surpass Tom Brady in career earnings. Oh yeah,

156
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: which is wild well, because Kirk has not been in

157
00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: the league as long as Tom Brady.

158
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: All talk like significant cuts to make the team better.

159
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 4: He didn't take that much. That's that's a very that's

160
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: a big misunderstanding because he.

161
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: Could have been so much more.

162
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: No, he had things converted into signing bonuses. That's where

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: that's where the like, there is this this narrative around

164
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: Tom Brady that he like took less. He didn't take less,

165
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: he restructured, which is which is different because it's still

166
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 4: cold Stwart's career earning. It's like Tom Brady made a

167
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: lot of money and he was paid a lot. It

168
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: was just it didn't all count against the cap because

169
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: the Patriots converted a lot of it into signing bonuses.

170
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: But regardless, Mike McCartney, he's a he's a he's a

171
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: friend of mine. He repped one of my very very

172
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 4: good friends while he was playing. And I'm I'm very

173
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: happy for Kirk because one thing that we knew we

174
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 4: know about kirkus he's gonna go get his money.

175
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah he is, and he did.

176
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: So.

177
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: Hats off to the Raiders for doing all the right

178
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: things this offseason.

179
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 4: All right, what you got, I'm going to do and

180
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: failed it because I'm still not happy. Let's still sad.

181
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: Let's go.

182
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: I didn't think Mike Evans was going to leave Tampa.

183
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: Oh honey, I know that shocked me too.

184
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 4: I really, I was like, I was playing my flag

185
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: and I worked with Mike for so.

186
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,359
Speaker 2: Long he talked to him. Did you get any inside?

187
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: No, I haven't talked to him. I was just remanted.

188
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: But like when he ended up, when when the news

189
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: broke and stuff, I started like reminiscing and I started

190
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 4: like going through old photos and I was like, I

191
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 4: seriously felt like I was like, I don't know, like

192
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 4: my best friend was moving away, like I don't know.

193
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 4: I just like I started like reminiscing about our like

194
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 4: I think. I posted a picture of me with with

195
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 4: Mike and his wife after the Super Bowl parade, which

196
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 4: was a boat parade in Tampa when we won the

197
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, and it was the most unhinged day of

198
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: my It was my most the most unhinged day of

199
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: my life.

200
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: Just shared people the bruise that you received.

201
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: I well, and this is this, Honestly, if Mike was

202
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: on my boat, it might not have happened. I was

203
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: on the def offensive boat with all of the DB's

204
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 4: and if dbs could catch savy receivers. So I was

205
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 4: on the boat and I had my head down on

206
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 4: my phone because part of I was still doing my

207
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 4: job at that poor writing. As unhinged as I was,

208
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: and as unhinged as that day was, I was capturing

209
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: content and I was so I was sending off some

210
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: of the content I was not looking. And also we're

211
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: on a boat in the middle of the river. I

212
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: feel this gigantic pain in my on my thigh and

213
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 4: it just like it felt like a cannon ball hit

214
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: my hit my leg, and I like looked up and

215
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 4: I looked down at it and there's an imprint of

216
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 4: the top of a beer kid. You could see the tab.

217
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 4: You can see the poll tab. And I had been

218
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: hit with a beer that was slingshot from the shore

219
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: into our boat.

220
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: That beautiful battle.

221
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: And I'm I'm telling you when I was in the

222
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: middle of the deck, the front deck, and there were

223
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: guys players lined up all along the railing so like

224
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 4: it had to go past them to get to me.

225
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 2: Like they duck out of the way for you.

226
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: Guys guy, I thought I was safe. I mean a

227
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: lot of them, A lot of them came over and apologize.

228
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: They were like, carbon, We're so sorry. And I went that.

229
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 4: That was when I decided that my work day was

230
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 4: over and I went below deck and one of our

231
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 4: coaches poured me an entire thing of tequila that was

232
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 4: given to him by no. This was and Domakan sue

233
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: he he invests in a tequila brand, or at the time,

234
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: invested in a tequila brand. I forgot what brand it was,

235
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: to be honest, sorry Sue, but I I literally it

236
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: was just a huge glass full of ice. And then uh,

237
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: a coach who was a good friend of mine, just poured,

238
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 4: just kept pouring, filled it all the way up, but

239
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: was like, here have it. And I was like, okay,

240
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: my workday is done. But if Mike had been on

241
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 4: my boat, he would have caught that, So I I

242
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 4: just I really didn't. I thought that, you know, with

243
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: how much Mike means. And you know what the inside

244
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 4: I did get wasn't directly from Mike, but it was

245
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 4: from guys that are in that building that talked to him,

246
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 4: and it was one of those things where he just

247
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 4: needed something different for his career. He wanted to experience

248
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 4: something different. And it was a juxtaposition too, because Leavonte

249
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: David also just retired and so he is no longer

250
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: a buccaneer either, but for different reasons. And he was

251
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 4: a buck his entire career. And he's also another very

252
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: good friend of mine. He's one of the best that

253
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 4: this league has ever had to offer. I have been

254
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: campaigning for him to make make the Hall of Fame

255
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: since I started to know him, since I started to

256
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 4: cover him in twenty nineteen. I don't know if it's

257
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 4: going to happen, because he's been criminally underrated his entire life,

258
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 4: and that I hope we can do it, nailed it

259
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: or failed it when the time comes and Levante gets

260
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 4: into the Hall of Fame.

261
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: But that's a good looking ahead.

262
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's going to happen. It's that's

263
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 4: five years in the future at this point. But yeah,

264
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: so I was really really wrong about Mike leaving. I'm

265
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: very happy for him though, and I'm happy for his family,

266
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: and I'm happy that he gets to go to a system,

267
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: in particular with Mike, with Kyle Shanahan. Mike Shanahan got

268
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 4: how old am I. I'm really glad that he's going

269
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 4: to a system that's gonna be able to use him

270
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: really really well.

271
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going to be great.

272
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: He makes it, he's gonna be great.

273
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be happy. I think for is

274
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: gonna be happy. Oh yeah, Mike has Honestly, he's had

275
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: a lot of soft tissue issues, Like he's had some

276
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 4: hamstring issues.

277
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: But this this off we go into the team that's

278
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: been like under the heat for soft time because they're

279
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: right next.

280
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: To and apparently John Lynch brought scientists in and is whatever.

281
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: That's not whatever. I mean that was like a significant

282
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: like a lot of players on the team are having

283
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: soft tissue issues.

284
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it doesn't have anything to do with a substation,

285
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 4: that's whatever. That was just the entire like insane tinfoil

286
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 4: hat theory. But no. So I'm really happy though that,

287
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: like Mike, Mike is on Like this season when he

288
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: got hurt was the first time he actually ever went

289
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: under the knife, like he had never had surgery before before. Now,

290
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 4: so I like he's actually been just really such a

291
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 4: warrior and he's going to continue to be And I

292
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: think that the change in scenery is going to lead

293
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 4: to some great things. I think we're going to see

294
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: a lot from Mike Evans this year, especially because he's

295
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 4: going to be in a system that knows how to

296
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: use him.

297
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'm gonna end with a failed it here.

298
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: The Lakers can go toe to toe and compete with Oka.

299
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 4: See can I call that? Can I call that? And

300
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 4: nailed it? I said the exact opposite.

301
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Carme nailed it and I failed it. A

302
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: lot went wrong on Thursday and Oka. See. Obviously, Lakers

303
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: are now zero and three. It was over the first

304
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: five minutes. But the most heartbreaking thing that came out

305
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: of it was Luka Doncic suffering a Grade two hand

306
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: me injury, so he's out for the rest of the

307
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: regular season. And most I don't know, I mean you

308
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: would think into the playoffs and injury like this, the

309
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: recovery time would normally take at least a month, and

310
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: that's like no practice, no games, obviously, because you don't

311
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: want to overcompensate and then injure something else and then

312
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: be out for all of next season.

313
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,239
Speaker 3: But it's yeah, it's just it's just heartbreaking.

314
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: But it was. It wasn't even close. They could not

315
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: keep up for seven game series. It felt like OKAC

316
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: was playing with their food, like they're the defending chance,

317
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: like SGA, like or Young. They have a deep bench

318
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: that was.

319
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 4: Just that embarrassing, quite literally built for that.

320
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: That was embarrassing.

321
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, there's no way, Yeah.

322
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: It's really it's what I what I said, was it

323
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 4: last week? It's between the Thunder and the Spurs, and

324
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: I don't still don't know if it's really between the

325
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: two of them. Dude.

326
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So okay, so we ended it on a nailed

327
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: it and failed it. CARMEI nailed it, I failed it,

328
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: But you know what, I was rooting with my heart, Okay,

329
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: born raise La Laker fan for life.

330
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: That was just it's not a good day.

331
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: Okay, with last few days for Lakers fans, that was heartbreaking.

332
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,160

Speaker 1: To a show.

365
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 4: I've seen him. I saw him a couple of years

366
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 4: ago at an outdoor Chicago. It was honestly, it was

367
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 4: we went with a bunch of girls and it was.

368
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: One that's what it is.

369
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 3: It's like all girls dressed in bald caps.

370
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 4: It's one of we didn't we didn't ad dress up

371
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 4: like that. It was an out venue though, where we

372
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 4: like mister allow pig bic blankets and like you got

373
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: to bring your own alcohol and like your own okay everything,

374
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 4: So it was like that. It was. It was amazing.

375
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 2: I love that so much.

376
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 7: All of his songs are so recognizable too, but I

377
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 7: will say know them all, you know them all, but

378
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 7: only like parts of it. So it's like fireball, yeah,

379
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 7: and then there's very few words to sing along.

380
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: Yes all you need all.

381
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: And he also has a ton of features, so he

382
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 4: like a medley of like his like features and stuff. Also,

383
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 4: Iggy Azalea opened for him, which was sick.

384
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 2: I love that it was. It was it was a

385
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: g all right, Carmie, let's get to March Madness, because

386
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: women's March Madness Final is set. South Carolina will face

387
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 2: UCLA tomorrow afternoon. This is UCLA's first final in school history.

388
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: But unfortunately the biggest story that came out of yesterday

389
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: was Gino's head coach of you inexcusable behavior and freak

390
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: out on Don.

391
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 3: If you missed it, let me paint the picture for you.

392
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: Moments before the game was over, Gina walked over to

393
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: Don on the sidelines and initiated an argument. Now at

394
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: this point, we don't know what's being said. All we

395
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: see is how upset that it made Don. And after

396
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: the game what Gino claimed on his high horse. For

397
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: forty one years, I've been coaching at twenty five final fours,

398
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: and the protocol is before the game, you meet at

399
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: half court and the coaches shake hans.

400
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: Correct. I waited for three minutes, so it is what

401
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 3: it is.

402
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 2: And there is clear video evidence, you guys, that they

403
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: did shake hands, even gave a hug, gave like the

404
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: handshake hug, like it happened. So after he was about

405
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: to get the full beat down from South Carolina, he

406
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: thought going up to Don just before the game ended

407
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: was a good idea to go yell and throw his

408
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: hissy fit in her face, and that is the definition

409
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: of a sore loser. And it's he finally like he

410
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: was standing like Dine on that hill last night. He

411
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: finally put out a statement today saying there was no

412
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: excuse for how I handled the end of the game

413
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: versus South Carolina. It's unlike what I do and what

414
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: our standard is here at Connecticut. I want to apologize

415
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: to the staff and team at South Carolina. It was

416
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: on called for and how I reacted. The story should

417
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: be how well South Carolina played, Uh huh, And I

418
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: don't want my actions.

419
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: To distract from that.

420
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 2: I had a great relationship with their staff, and I

421
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: sincerely want to apologize to them. That is you gus

422
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: lap on the hand from your university, and you were

423
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: just saying what you're told to be said. That was ridiculous.

424
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: Diorama is unquestionably, right now the best women's college basketball coach,

425
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: like one of, if not the best. Yeah, he's got

426
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 4: hiss out the most success he did. But this is

427
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 4: also a pattern when another great emerges because he now

428
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 4: has a full fledged rivalry with Don Staley. Yes, incredible,

429
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: like Don Staley is just an ecosystem. Unto herself. She

430
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 4: is she's incredible, she is successful, she is charismatic, she

431
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 4: gets along with her players, Her players appreciate the way

432
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 4: that she coaches. It's it's physical, like they play a

433
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 4: physical brand of basketball that is unlike what the women's

434
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 4: game has seen in a very long time. But if

435
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 4: you go back and you look at Gino's history, this

436
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: happened with Pat Summerl at Tennessee. This was Pat Somerl,

437
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: who is perhaps the best coach in women's basketball history. Again,

438
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: one of she's in that conversation with Gino and they

439
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 4: had a bitter, bitter rivalry the two of them, And

440
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 4: so basically this is just now. I mean, Gino has

441
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 4: had incredible staying power. Yukon has been a powerhouse program.

442
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: But if you look at the last five years or

443
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 4: so of these of women's college basketball, it has been

444
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 4: this search from South Carolina. I mean it started before that,

445
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 4: but the last five years in particular, South Carolina won

446
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 4: three titles and they're going for their third. I should say,

447
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 4: I like, this was a this was frustration boiling over.

448
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: And also they're apparently yeah, like the coach is supposed

449
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 4: to meet half court and that's supposed to be the

450
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 4: second handshake, though there's like two, so he was acknowledging

451
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: that they shook hands like beforehand, but apparently there's like

452
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 4: a ceremonious meet at half quart or whatever, and for

453
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 4: whatever reason, Dawn didn't do it. And whether it was

454
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: intentional or not doesn't matter. But then to take a

455
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 4: fight with Philly Down because that was Philly.

456
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: Down, Oh yeah, I'm on take you down.

457
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna beat your ass. I'm a beat Gino's ass.

458
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 3: That don came out in her, and it was because

459
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 3: that's who she is.

460
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

461
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: Do you see all assistant coaches on both sides?

462
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 4: Pat Summit? Yea, I see Pat Summer all I met

463
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 4: Pat Summit. Anyway, I the like picking that fight in

464
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 4: that moment was the boil. It wasn't just the hell.

465
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 2: Though that was little boy energy it was, but it.

466
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 4: Was the culmination of realizing that you now have an

467
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 4: equal in this where you didn't have an equal.

468
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: Little little boy energy.

469
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 4: And I loved what Down said at her press conference

470
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 4: afterwards where she was like, you know, Yukon beat us

471
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 4: up for all those years before we really got going,

472
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 4: and I didn't say a word. So I don't want

473
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: to hear it, and I'm just like, yes, that was

474
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: like don like she and you know, she also said

475
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: in the postgame interview where she was like, I have integrity.

476
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what that was about, but I will

477
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 4: always approach this game with integrity. And she dropped it

478
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 4: after that, and this was like Gino took more shots

479
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: at her in the postgame press comes and then he

480
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 4: comes out with the apology today and You're just like,

481
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 4: you are too good, Gino. You have too much of

482
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 4: a legacy preserve to be acting like this. But it's

483
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 4: also been a pattern when you end up getting your

484
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 4: when you when you recognize an equal. This was a

485
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: reaction to recognizing an equal in the sport. And at

486
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 4: this point Don Staley may not even be his equals.

487
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: She may be surpassing him, and I think.

488
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: She did in a lot of people's eyes with that

489
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: action from us.

490
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 4: There are like I'm talking like resume wise, at this point,

491
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 4: she's getting there and is with this championship, could be

492
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 4: absolutely the unquestioned best coach in women's basketball, which this

493
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I love I love Don Staley. I think

494
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: that she's an excellent steward of women's college basketball. For

495
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 4: the moment that it's in in particular, and I like,

496
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 4: I mean, you can say that this is the story

497
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 4: of the like, this is the story of the women's

498
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 4: Final four and will still be the story kind of

499
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 4: the championship. But like, honestly say, should probably be relieved

500
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 4: by that because you're about to get dog walked by

501
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 4: South Carolina. I and this, I mean, it's not that

502
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 4: was one of the lowest scoring the UCLA's Final four

503
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 4: game was one of the was the lowest scoring I

504
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 4: believe women's final four game. Ever.

505
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, they like they have their work cut for that.

506
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 4: If what South Carolina did to Yukon, Yeah, if they

507
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 4: were able to do that to Yukon, UCLA is going

508
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 4: to get absolutely dog walked and it's not going to

509
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: be pretty.

510
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: So I hope it's not that bad. I really think

511
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: it's bad. I hope it's okay. Well, we can dive

512
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: into that a little more a little later, but now

513
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: let's check it with Martin Wise and see what's strending.

514
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,399

Speaker 2: Ladies, back to you, Thank you, Martin, you're listening to

552
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday. I'm Alex Career with Carmen Vitally. Thank

553
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 2: you for spending your Saturday afternoon with us. It is

554
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: time for our first guest. Senior NBA reporter for the

555
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: California Post, Melissa Roland thanks for joining the show.

556
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 9: Absolutely, thank you so much for having me on.

557
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: I'm so happy with Fine Like I've been trying to

558
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: get her, you guys for weeks.

559
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: This girl is a busy one.

560
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: But Melissa, we got some heartbreaking news from the Lakers

561
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: yesterday that Luca is now out for the rest of

562
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: the regular season with a Grade two hammy injury. What

563
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 2: is the mood like in that Lakers locker room right now?

564
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 2: Because this is a big hit.

565
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 9: It's a major hit. Luka Dancic had been playing out

566
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 9: of his mind in March. He had averaged thirty seven

567
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 9: point five point thirty seven point five that's the second

568
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 9: most points over the month of March ever an NBA history,

569
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 9: behind Michael Jordan. So he had been playing lights out.

570
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 9: The Lakers were sixteen and two, they were being lifted

571
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 9: as real championship contenders. And then you have Luca go

572
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 9: down and that changes everything for Luca, who obviously was

573
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 9: an MVP contender. You know, he might not even be

574
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 9: eligible for rewards right now. And then there's the Lakers.

575
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 9: You know, they could have really made some noise in

576
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 9: the playoffs and now they're just a big question mark.

577
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 4: I I mean, they are and one thing that's not

578
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: been a question mark though. When we talked about this

579
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 4: last week Alex and I did, the Thunder just looked

580
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: on stoppable and they just you know, the Lakers just

581
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 4: ran into them hard and it didn't go very well

582
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: for them. Is this I mean, are we talking like

583
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 4: the Thunder running away with the Western Conference or do

584
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 4: we think that the Spurs are going to create a

585
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 4: pretty significant challenge here for the West?

586
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean that's a great point. So entering that game,

587
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 9: the Lakers were one of the hottest teams in the league,

588
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 9: and that was thought to be the ultimate measuring stick game.

589
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 9: You know, the Lakers had beaten teams like Houston Place, Nicks,

590
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 9: the timber Wolves, and you know, when they played the Thunder,

591
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 9: it was going to be like, Okay, is this team

592
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 9: actually the real deal? Can they compete against the Thunders

593
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 9: and the Spurs of the league. And you know, they

594
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 9: trailed by as much as forty six points. So yeah,

595
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 9: it was stunning. So we saw that the Lakers may

596
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 9: be good, but they're not great, even before the Luca injury,

597
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 9: and so that was a big wake up call for them.

598
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 9: Sure it was this one game, but so right now,

599
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 9: I think it comes down to the Thunder and the Spurs.

600
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 9: I see with the Spurs is, even though Lemby is

601
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 9: absolutely incredible, he doesn't have to playoff experience.

602
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 4: So you know, is.

603
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 9: This postseason going to be kind of like getting his

604
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 9: seat wet period for both him and the Spurs and

605
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 9: then they're going to be poised for a deeper next

606
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 9: season or can they defy all odds and you know,

607
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 9: make a lot of noise this postseason that I'm not

608
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 9: sure yet, but the Thunder of the team to get through.

609
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 9: They're the raigning champions, they have the raining MVP and

610
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 9: Shay Gildess Alexander and the Spurs are the ones who

611
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 9: have something to prove here.

612
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: I want to go back to the Lakers for a

613
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: moment here, And with Luca missing the rest of the

614
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: regular season, if he does miss all of it, which

615
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: we're all expecting he will, he'll be one game short

616
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: for season awards. What are your thoughts about that sixty

617
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: five game eligibility rule for someone who has had such

618
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: a history work season. I mean, they're the list of

619
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: superstars that will not qualify this year. Makes you think

620
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: that they have to adjust this rule?

621
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 9: Yes, I think they're going to have to change it.

622
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 9: And before we get into that, I want to add

623
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 9: that Luca's agent, Phil Duffy, released a statement in which

624
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 9: he said that he is going to apply for an

625
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 9: exception for Luca, who went back to Slovenia to witness

626
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 9: the birth of his child. There is an exception that

627
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 9: you can apply for, so there is a chance that

628
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 9: Luca may still be eligible for awards, which I really

629
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 9: hope he gets. I mean, he led the league in

630
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 9: scoring that's insane, third and assist sixth and steals, So

631
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 9: that being said, hopefully Luke, I mean for him not

632
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 9: to even get all creating all NBA honors, it.

633
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: Would be like shocking, that's insane.

634
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 9: That said, Yeah, Alex, great point. Read the sixty five

635
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 9: game rule. I mean, an it's not going to be eligible.

636
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 9: Somebody like Lebron's not going to be eligible.

637
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: You have so.

638
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 9: Many superstars just knocked off by game or two, and

639
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 9: it just seems arbitrary and it seems like something's going

640
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 9: to need to change because there's just too many great

641
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 9: guys who have had spectacular seasons being left off that list.

642
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 4: I want to get to the other side of the

643
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 4: league because I think that Detroit Pistons fans are I'm honestly,

644
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 4: as someone who grew up up in Chicago Bulls fan,

645
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: I really can't believe I'm saying it, but I'm happy

646
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 4: for the Pistons. It looks like I am. This has

647
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 4: been a long suffering franchise since this, like just like

648
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 4: the Bulls have for I mean, the Bulls are still suffering.

649
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: Don't get me started on that. But you know they

650
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 4: lead the Eastern Conference. They I was gonna say, our

651
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 4: potechnical producer Chris Burfett is a Detroit Pistons fan, so

652
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 4: I knew that was happening. But is this Is this

653
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 4: the Pistons year? Is this going to happen? Are they

654
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 4: going to cruise to the Eastern Conference finals? Are they

655
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 4: going to cruise to the champion that are? Can they

656
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: challenge for the NBA title this year?

657
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 9: I definitely don't think they're going to cruise to the East.

658
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 9: Even though they're the East top seed, I still think

659
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 9: they have a lot to prove come playoff time. This

660
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 9: team was a really good team in the regular season,

661
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 9: but the playoffs are completely different beasts and they don't

662
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 9: have that type of experience and how's Cade.

663
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 6: Going to do?

664
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 9: Those are all, you know, things that remain to be

665
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 9: steams exactly exactly. And then you have a lot of

666
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 9: other really good teams in the East, like the Celtics

667
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 9: behind Dalen Brown have been really really good. The Knicks,

668
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 9: I wouldn't count them out. I definitely don't see the

669
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 9: Pistons as shoein's for the finals.

670
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 10: I'll tell you that.

671
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Now I want to talk about the King real quick.

672
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: Lebron James. He will hit free agency this summer. Where

673
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: do you feel and see him playing next year?

674
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 9: So that's an interesting thing, which I actually was his

675
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 9: writing about before he called us. Well, it's interesting because

676
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 9: obviously Lebron has not decided yet what he's going to

677
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 9: do about his future. He becomes an unrestricted free agent

678
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 9: after this season, and I think a lot of what

679
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 9: he was going to decide was going to come down

680
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 9: to what happened during this postseason. Yes, and you know,

681
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 9: just a couple of days ago, before Luca went down

682
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 9: on Thursday, the Lakers looked like real contenders. And if

683
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 9: the Lakers made a deep postseason run, and you know,

684
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 9: obviously Lebron had embraced the third option on the team

685
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 9: and if things were rolling, and I'll tell you this,

686
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 9: vibes in the locker room are really really good, Like

687
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 9: I really could have seen him coming back to the Lakers.

688
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 9: And now that Luca's injury has happened, and there's so

689
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 9: many question marks around the team, I think it creates many, many,

690
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 9: many more question marks around Lebron's future.

691
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: I agree, Melissa. Thank you so much for joining us.

692
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,680

716
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: dues and don'ts in sports highlighting DH. I love that

717
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: putting a spotlight on the don't the subject brings me

718
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: no joy.

719
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 5: Don't do that.

720
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 4: That's insane.

721
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports, all.

722
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: Right, krmie my do I witnessed live last night. I

723
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: was at the Angels home opener. Love my Angel's family.

724
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: First of all, shout out first time I've been back

725
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 2: since my last broadcast five years ago, and all the fields,

726
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: all the emotions. But my first do is do know

727
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: your timing. Baseball is a sport that usually starts on time.

728
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 2: The first pitch has a time, and it's like they're

729
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: pretty strict to that. So when you say first pitch

730
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 2: is at six thirty eight, usually it's within a couple

731
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: minutes of that, right, But last night for the Angel's

732
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 2: home opener, I don't think anybody told the flyover that

733
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 2: the home opening ceremony was gonna push that back a

734
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: little bit for the anthem, and I gotta like hats off,

735
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: like stand up standing.

736
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: Oh for the anthem singer.

737
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: Who was a queen who understood the assignment because they

738
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: had old sprop planes that you could see in the

739
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: distance like for twenty minutes, just kind of circling in

740
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: the distance waiting to come for the flyover.

741
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 3: And once she started the anthem, I was.

742
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know if they're gonna make it in time. Oh,

743
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: they're definitely not gonna make it in time. We're on

744
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: the last verse of the anthem here. So when she

745
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: noticed that too, I don't know if someone got in

746
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 2: her ear or what was happening, but she saw they

747
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 2: were not going to make the flyover for the last note,

748
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: so she would pause for like twenty seconds between each

749
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: word in the last sentence.

750
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 3: Of the anthem, just so the flyover could make.

751
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 2: It in time.

752
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 3: And it was I mean, it was honestly hilarious.

753
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 2: It was an iconic move by the anthem singer very

754
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: on brand for the Angels, and it was just it

755
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: was hilarious.

756
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 4: It was hilarious. Would be if anybody bet the over

757
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 4: on anthem time.

758
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, making some monies, all.

759
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 4: Right, mine is a due and it is do stay

760
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 4: with the spirit of the rule. I was trying to

761
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 4: fit this into the show because I am irate, I

762
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 4: am livid, I am I am so annoyed with the

763
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 4: league right now, the NFL because the Chicago Bears allowed

764
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 4: their assistant general manager Ian Conningham to interview and ultimately

765
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 4: get the GM job in Atlanta. Atlanta also hired Matt

766
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 4: Ryan as their president of football Operations. Well, Matt Ryan

767
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 4: has never been an executive before. Matt Ryan had a

768
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 4: very long playing career, a lot of which was with Atlanta,

769
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: and that's great that he is in this position. But

770
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 4: Ian Cunningham is the general manager. He has. Matt Ryan

771
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 4: even said Ian Cunningham has roster control. He is a

772
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 4: general manager. He was in the general manager's photo at

773
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: NFL owners meetings. And according to the Rooney Rule, part

774
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 4: of the spirit of the Rooney rule and the extended

775
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 4: part of the Rooney rule is that if you hire

776
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 4: away a minority, either head coach or you know, a

777
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: high level executive general manager. Then the team that you

778
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 4: that you hired this person from gets awarded compicks. The

779
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 4: Bears did not get compicks Cunningham. They should have been

780
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 4: eligible for two third round picks for letting Ian Cunningham

781
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 4: ultimately interview for this job and get this job, because

782
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: teams have the ability to block something like that. The

783
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: Bears did not. They said, great, go Forth promotion, this

784
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 4: is amazing, You're a great person. The league then did

785
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 4: not award the Bears. The Bears then went to New

786
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 4: York went to the league office. Their owner George McCaskey,

787
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 4: Ryan pulls their current GM. I don't know who else

788
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 4: was there, but they went to appeal this and the

789
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 4: NFL shut them down again, and it is the most

790
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 4: out ill for the NFL to die house. They said

791
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 4: that Matt Ryan is the one that has he's higher

792
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 4: on the football food No, And I'm like, no, If

793
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 4: that's true, then look at all the ORG charts across

794
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 4: the league, and I guarantee you there are because there

795
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 4: are some team presidents on an ORC chart that are

796
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 4: listed above the general manager. It does not mean that

797
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 4: they that that general manager has any less of a

798
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 4: say when it comes to roster building or building the team,

799
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 4: or doing what a general manager does. So why saying

800
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 4: that the league is dying. It's a dangerous precedent that

801
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 4: they're saying, making a mockery of the Rooney rule.

802
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: Oh, don't appreciate it that.

803
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 3: Like, that's kind of ridiculous.

804
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 4: Could talk about this for twenty minutes.

805
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. All right, We're gonna take a break here.

806

00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: a good.

821
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 4: Game on the team you want to, SEE i just

822
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 4: want a good. Game the women's championship was Really, yukon and,

823
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 4: yeah and Then South carolina.

824
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 2: That wasn't even a great, game, RIGHT.

825
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: I mean that's what and that's What carolina just WHAT

826
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 3: i own, Them.

827
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 4: That's What i'm. Saying South carolina Forced yukon into playing

828
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 4: something that didn't even resemble their. Game yukon is all about,

829
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 4: pace they are all They're they're very they were a

830
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 4: very fast paced. Team they want us at the, tone

831
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: they want us at the, rhythm And South carolina just

832
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 4: prevented them from getting into any sort of rhythm in

833
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 4: that second. HALF i, mean they absolutely Forced yukon into

834
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 4: a game that was very unfamiliar to. Them SO i

835
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 4: can't even.

836
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: Imagine that's what worries me Because, ucla like they they

837
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 2: don't make great adjustments mid. Game SO i they have

838
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: a great game and when it's going, WELL i mean

839
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: they've been averaging what like twenty seven points in their

840
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: wins throughout this. Tournament but this Is, yeah this is

841
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 2: gonna be the toughest one, yet AND i don't can they.

842
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 2: Adjust if they can adjust to Whatever South carolina throws at,

843
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 2: them maybe there's a chance for it to be a good.

844
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 3: GAME i hope so ALL i hope for in like.

845
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 4: Finals South carolina's defense just put on a masterclass last.

846
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,080

00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 2: I'm, sorry, SORRY i. Forget it's, okay let's talk a

877
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: LITTLE nfl because a lot of like random things came

878
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: out this. Week it was league. Meetings one OF i

879
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 2: think the funny things that got announced this week is

880
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: that the Raining Super bowl champs are going to be

881
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 2: on hard, knocks which is like a eh for. Me

882
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: you lost your Super BOWL, mvp you lost your offensive

883
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: coordinator to The. Raiders normally this can be a distraction

884
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 2: and they have to force teams to do. This so

885
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: OBVIOUSLY i think they forced these two teams because they

886
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: announced this year and next, year which are the two

887
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: teams that were in The Super. Bowl you got The

888
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 2: seahawks this year and you got The patriots next. Year

889
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: and it just feels LIKE i think there was a

890
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: REPORT i forget who put it out that they basically

891
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 2: just like called The patriots bluff where they're, like, oh

892
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: we'll do it next. Year they're, like, great we're locking you.

893
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: In you are in for next, year and we are announcing.

894
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 2: It it's just, like are we kind of Over Hard?

895
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 4: Knocks, well so this is this is What ACTUALLY i

896
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 4: can bring this all back to my rant of the

897
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 4: league adding games on different date and days of the

898
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 4: week and different times and. WHATEVER i. Think i'm went

899
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 4: on this rant With tracy but talked To they're diluting

900
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 4: the league is diluting their. Product and that's What Hard knocks.

901
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 4: Did Hard knocks diluted their. Product Hard knocks like the

902
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 4: true the Original Hard knocks that followed a team during. Training,

903
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,040

907
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 4: literally to get these episodes out because you will literally

908
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 4: see stuff that happened two days before or the day

909
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,960

915
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,840

936
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,680

940
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 3: Philly, Right Jalen.

941
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 2: Hurts doesn't always buy, in and we all kind of

942
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 2: knew that vibes were off In, philly. Right we saw

943
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: with Aj brown and Ex sirianni on the sidelines last.

944
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 2: Year you could just tell, Something, well.

945
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 4: The positivity rabbit doesn't tell you that things are going, well.

946
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: And no one loves it's not bringing. Positivity players are

947
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: like wtff is going. ON i don't get. It this

948
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: makes zero.

949
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 4: Sense and if you have to do something as insane

950
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 4: as putting a giant blow up bunny.

951
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 2: In a locker room makes, sense that.

952
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 4: Doesn't that doesn't signal to me that things are going,

953
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 4: well because clearly you're trying other things and then this

954
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 4: is what you landed, on which is still. Unfathomable it's

955
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 4: just but this was So Jeremy fowler did some excellent

956
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 4: reporting on all of, this and this was, weeks if

957
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 4: not months in the, making because it didn't all just

958
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 4: come out of owners, meetings because he had so many

959
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 4: sources and so many sources were talking to. Him and

960
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 4: that's where my little journalistic antennas go up Where i'm, like, hey,

961
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 4: hey this many people don't. Talk, yes you don't get

962
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 4: this many sources unless people want something to be known

963
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 4: so that it saves them in some. Way there's always

964
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 4: an agenda behind this kind of stuff, always so with

965
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 4: the way that The, eagles it was a very tumultuous

966
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,919
Speaker 4: season for. Them they were obviously didn't you, know make

967
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 4: it to The Super bowl And, honestly we're all grateful

968
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 4: for it because we're all tired of it unless you're In,

969
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 4: Philly AND i get it BECAUSE i have all my

970
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 4: dad's entire Families eagles. FANS I yea heard. It i've

971
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 4: heard it. All but that was, like there were clearly

972
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 4: some big fractures in what was happening in that, building

973
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 4: what was happening on the practice field versus what was

974
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 4: being shown to the public or what the public was

975
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 4: thinking or. Whatever so now you have all these sources

976
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 4: and again some great reporting By Jeremy FOWLER espn to

977
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 4: get all of this and and put it all together

978
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 4: and paint a picture for us of what's. Happening and

979
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 4: now that some of this is coming out, too it

980
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 4: makes a lot of other stuff makes, sense, like for,

981
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 4: instance Cal, moore who had a very good stint In

982
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:07,959
Speaker 4: dallas as their offensive coordinator and constructed a really good

983
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 4: offense that you, Know Dak prescott had some of his

984
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 4: best years Under Kellen, moore and they Had dallas had

985
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 4: some of its most production production offensive production Under Kellen.

986
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 4: Moore and then he gets To philly and you're, like

987
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 4: wait a, second you just changed everything about your. System, Why,

988
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 4: yeah and it's, like, oh Because Jalen hurts can't execute

989
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 4: the system that you were brought in to. Implement and so,

990
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 4: now of course there's. Fractures of course there's differing. Ideas

991
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 4: of course there's friction and tension and whatever because you

992
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 4: are trying to set up someone that perhaps doesn't have

993
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 4: the ability that you were. Sold and that's it all

994
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 4: makes sense once you realize too that there have been

995
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 4: multiple coordinators to come in and out Of.

996
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 3: Philly, yeah that and They, yeah they have a new

997
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 3: they have a newc coming.

998
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 2: In he's gonna need to be more flexible and buy

999
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 2: it if he wants to make this. Work he really

1000
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: only has one more year guaranteed on their. Contract and

1001
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 2: we have Seen philly is not afraid to move off people.

1002
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 4: And and like they HAVE i always say that they you,

1003
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 4: know they're very creative in the way that they construct their,

1004
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 4: roster they build their roster and all this other. Stuff

1005
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 4: and what at some point you're going to have to

1006
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 4: get to is DO i have to be extra creative

1007
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 4: because of the limitations Of Jalen, hurts whether that's because

1008
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 4: of what he can do, physically whether that's because of

1009
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 4: his leadership skills or lack thereof whatever it.

1010
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 3: Is we'll not. Like that was part of the article Natural.

1011
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 4: Leader, right that was part of the article how much

1012
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 4: more creative do we want to keep? Being and is

1013
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 4: that beneficial to the team as a whole or is

1014
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 4: the path of least resistance to Let Jalen hurts Go

1015
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 4: and THAT'S i, think and then.

1016
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 2: To keep Aj?

1017
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,720
Speaker 3: Brown like this is a question.

1018
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 2: Too do you see them do you see them trading

1019
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 2: this is why we haven't seen them be so aggressive

1020
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: in Trading Aj?

1021
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 3: Brown or they do not getting what they want FOR i.

1022
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 4: Don't, well WHAT i was trying to get at here

1023
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 4: is just like clearly there are different people in the

1024
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 4: building think differently for how to attack this. Situation, yeah

1025
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 4: so there there seems to be some dissent In philly

1026
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 4: in the building of how to solve all of these

1027
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 4: issues that they're. Having And i'm sure there are people

1028
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 4: in the building that are, saying, yeah let's Trade jalen

1029
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,240
Speaker 4: and let's KEEP Aj brown OR i don't, know trade

1030
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 4: them both and whatever like or you, know at this,

1031
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 4: point who are you really going to get that's? Better

1032
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 4: and maybe next, year you, know with the out In jalen's,

1033
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,479
Speaker 4: contract this that the. Other, Like i'm sure that there

1034
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 4: are differing opinions in that building and that is what's

1035
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 4: been causing. Tension and it doesn't sound like this is

1036
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 4: a new. Thing it sounds like these have Been.

1037
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 3: We've seen it for the last two.

1038
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 4: Years that's What i'm, saying is, like there clearly has

1039
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 4: been some disagreement among individuals within the league's at The

1040
00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 4: eagles front office of how to Handle jalen Her it's

1041
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,959
Speaker 4: how to handle this, offense how to handle this team,

1042
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 4: structure the roster and all of. That and that's kind

1043
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 4: of why we're seeing these fractures and we're seeing these,

1044
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 4: cracks and we're seeing positivity rabbits in the middle of

1045
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 4: The eagles locker.

1046
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: Room people show you how they feel and who they,

1047
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 2: are so believe them and believe your eyes when you see.

1048
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 2: It we all saw it on the, sidelines we all

1049
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 2: saw it in the postgame. Interviews they came out and

1050
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,919
Speaker 2: try to like put it, down but, no like.

1051
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 4: You're gonna tell, me like your actions are going to

1052
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 4: tell me more than anything that comes out of your. Mouth,

1053
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 4: yes there is another it's part of The it's more

1054
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 4: part of the diluting of the product THAT i want

1055
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 4: to get to real quick about what came out of

1056
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 4: owners because there's a lot of rule changes that came

1057
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 4: out of owners. Meetings one of them is infuriating to.

1058
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 4: Me which, one and it is that THE nfl owners

1059
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 4: have approved a change to the scheduling policy that clarifies

1060
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 4: That friday games are no longer considered short. Weeks what

1061
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 4: which is the most insane THING i had ever? Heard

1062
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 4: WHEN i read that two days my job dropped open

1063
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 4: because previously teams have been limited to just two short

1064
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 4: week games per, season and which is Usually, thursdays, right

1065
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 4: because you have less rest and it's really hard to,

1066
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 4: recover and it's really really hard on these, guys even.

1067
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 2: Though they get say it's like you get in a

1068
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 2: car accident and you're recovering from that every.

1069
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 4: Week every, Week, yes and then if you have four

1070
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 4: days to do, that that's insane and yuess they get

1071
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 4: the mini buy on the other side of. It but

1072
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 4: with the rise Of friday games like black The Black friday,

1073
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 4: games or Like christmas was on A friday this, year

1074
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 4: those wouldn't count against the limit to how many short

1075
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 4: week games you could play Because Apparently friday is not

1076
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 4: considered a short, week.

1077
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 3: Which is insane to me because.

1078
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 4: Even if you Play monday, night that next week is

1079
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 4: considered a short week for. Teams teams have their recovery

1080
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 4: like down to a, science down to the, Hour like

1081
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 4: if you Play sunday at noon versus The sunday night,

1082
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 4: game things are completely different as far as when you

1083
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 4: work out when you have to like throughout the whole.

1084
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 4: Week it pushes everything back in so to do to

1085
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 4: not consider a game that takes place two days before

1086
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 4: your Normal sunday game a short week is absolutely wild to,

1087
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 4: me and it is just the Next like this was

1088
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 4: essentially to add more flexibility for the streaming, services for

1089
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 4: like for the, networks AND.

1090
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 2: I mean that's what it all is coming from. Anyways

1091
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 2: and then you're talking about how they make these, decisions.

1092
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 4: Whether it's the that or it's adding an eighteenth game

1093
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 4: or like this that the. Other it is all to

1094
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 4: essentially make more, money but it comes at the expensive player.

1095
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 4: Safety And i'm so tired of people preaching player safety

1096
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 4: and then turning around and, saying, No fridays aren't short,

1097
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 4: weeks go tell any especially like the guys that are

1098
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 4: in the trenches getting hit on every single, Play, like

1099
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 4: go tell those guys that they have to be ready

1100
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 4: to play two days, before but they're not going to

1101
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 4: get the benefit of a short week and that's not

1102
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 4: going to count towards what so they could Conceivably god

1103
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 4: some of these some of these, teams like The, chiefs for,

1104
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 4: instance who play On christmas and who THE nfl wants

1105
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 4: to isolate in these single viewing. Windows try telling them

1106
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,759

Speaker 4: my friends that have played this game for a long.

1118

Speaker 4: Time i've seen the toll it takes on, them And

1119
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 4: i've seen the recovery that needs to, happen and we

1120
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 4: are completely taking advantage of that for none other than

1121
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 4: money and. Greed and it, really, really that's like one

1122

1125
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 4: i wish that THE nflpa was more organized that they

1126
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 4: could push back on stuff like, this but they can't

1127
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 4: because they're not organized.

1128
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 2: Enough have you heard player? Reactions have you talked to guys,

1137
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 4: get ready For thursday. GAMES i, like it's it's. Insane

1138
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 4: LIKE i had a really good friend of mine who

1139
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 4: got hurt on A sunday night game and they would

1140
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 4: and we were. Playing it was WHEN i was with

1141
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 4: The bucks and we were playing on That thursday night,

1142
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 4: game and what he did to get ready for That

1143
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 4: thursday game was the most Insane i've ever. Seen he

1144
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 4: was in the training room all day every, day getting different,

1145
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 4: treatments different work out like the way that he had

1146
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 4: to eat certain things at certain times and he had

1147
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 4: just like it was and it was. EXCRUCIATING i, mean

1148
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 4: this guy couldn't even walk for the first two, Days

1149
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 4: i'm not, kidding and then he turned around and played

1150
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 4: a game fourty eight hours after he was able to stand, Upright,

1151
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 4: like it's just so incredibly hard on these guys', bodies

1152
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 4: AND i don't feel right about sacrificing their, health especially

1153
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 4: when we have THE nflpa fighting for lifetime healthcare FOR

1154
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 4: nfl players because they only have five years after they're done,

1155
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 4: playing which is, wild and, yeah that's. Insane so like

1156
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 4: it's there's so much contradiction when it comes to this

1157
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 4: kind of. Stuff so it's a really hot button. Issue

1158
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 4: and it's, Because, Yeah i've talked to so many different

1159
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 4: guys about rules like this that just completely ignore player,

1160
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 4: safety and they feel it and they don't feel, valued

1161
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 4: and they don't feel taken care, of and they don't

1162
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 4: feel like. It really it wins on, them just guys

1334
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 2: you were in the baseball mindset about to call a game.

1335
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 2: Today Negative free b big change of season with a

1336

1339
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 10: IT i definitely do not hate. IT i think it's

1340
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 10: it's fascinating to. WATCH i think it's better for the game.

1341
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 10: OVERALL i do think that it's gonna make umpires. Sharper we're.

1342
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 10: In we had an interesting conversation With Craig council as

1343
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 10: the manager of The, cubs and he was saying that

1344
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 10: they've actually been very fortunate where they've had a couple

1345
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 10: of games this season out of the seven they've played

1346
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 10: where they've had two, fantastic well called near perfect games

1347
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 10: from an. Umpire AND i do think that some of

1348
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 10: the umpires look at the system and look at it

1349
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 10: as something that's going to help sharpen. Them they're going

1350
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 10: to make. ADJUSTMENTS i know it takes away some of

1351
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 10: the interesting human, elements but it also adds some more to.

1352
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 10: It and you, know so, far it's been relatively. Even

1353
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 10: and you, KNOW i was working with you, know The

1354
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 10: hall of Famer John smoltz tonight and he made a

1355
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 10: salient comment that he thought that maybe this would hurt

1356
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 10: the umpires a lot. More he thought maybe this would,

1357
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 10: really you, know be heavily skewed in favor of catchers and,

1358
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:00,919
Speaker 10: batters and that really hasn't the. Case it's about fifty

1359
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 10: three forty seven wow far in terms of, overturn so

1360
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 10: that it's making slight incremental positive changes in terms of

1361
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 10: how games are called so. Far let's hope that that

1362
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 10: ends up being the cases as teams refine how they

1363
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 10: use it and how umpires are find how they continue

1364
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 10: to call.

1365
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 4: Games, YEAH i, say IF i know anything about, baseball

1366
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 4: there are going to be stats that come out of

1367
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 4: this that are being kept track of to see just

1368
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 4: how much of an impact this is having on the.

1369
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 4: Game and it sounds like that's already, started.

1370
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 10: Definitely and you, know you can track, everything especially in,

1371
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 10: baseball and it's going to be boiled down to the

1372
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 10: most minute of. Detail and that's. Fine you. KNOW i

1373
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 10: think at the end of the, day, players, coaches, managers,

1374
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 10: umpires everybody wants to get the calls. Right and if

1375
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 10: this is the end goal of having this system in,

1376
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 10: place it seemingly has been the case so. Far let's

1377
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 10: hope that that ends up being the case full. Time

1378
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 10: when this is when we're looking looking at the numbers

1379
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 10: at the end of this.

1380
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 3: Season all, right so let's talk a little.

1381
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:03,800

01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:17,599
Speaker 10: philadelphia right.

1387
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 4: NOW i think.

1388
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 10: There is a Question there have been, questions especially considering

1389
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 10: Where Jalen hurts has been the last several. Years he's

1390
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 10: had so many different voices in his head in terms

1391
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 10: of who's calling plays this.

1392
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Year Is Kevin.

1393
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 10: Patulo he's Had Shane, stike and he's Had sirianni call

1394
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 10: plays for him at. Times he's Had Brian, johnson who

1395
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 10: he's had a long standing relationship with going back to

1396
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 10: his high school days In. Texas he's called plays at

1397
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 10: various points and at some point and we've talked to several, Quarterbacks,

1398
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 10: KARMEN i know you've had conversations with high level quarterbacks

1399
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 10: about this very. Subject it becomes a little bit more

1400
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 10: difficult and a little more you, know it's a tenuous

1401
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 10: relationship at, times especially when results aren't where you want

1402
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 10: where you want them to be players aren't. Happy we

1403
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 10: Saw Ajay, brown's you, know some of his discontent over

1404
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 10: the course of the season this, year and it can

1405
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 10: be very. FRUSTRATING i remember having a conversation With Trevor

1406
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 10: lawrence about this very subject and he was very thankful

1407
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 10: to Have Liam cohen in his. Year AND i, Know,

1408
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 10: carmen you have a great relationship With liam going back

1409
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 10: to The Tampa bay, days like he has an understanding

1410
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 10: for How Trevor lawrence works in terms of his, head

1411
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 10: and he's helped formulate an offense around. Him jalen has

1412
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 10: had those conversations year in and year, out the same

1413
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 10: Way trevor did early in his. Careers SO i understand

1414
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 10: where it comes. FROM i understand where the frustration comes.

1415
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 10: FROM i don't know what the solution necessarily is right,

1416
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 10: now if it's just the right, voice the right play,

1417
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 10: caller BUT i understand where some of the frustrations have.

1418
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 4: Come, yeah it seems like we were talking about it,

1419
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 4: earlier AND i just seem it seems like people have

1420
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 4: different opinions even within the, building and that's where you

1421
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 4: see some of these fractures that are coming to light

1422
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 4: Of you know that things aren't going, well and that's

1423
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 4: why the vibes are a little off In. Philly i'm

1424
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:57,799
Speaker 4: also pretty well concerned for. That but we had owners,

1425
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 4: meetings we had league meetings a couple week ago at this,

1426
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 4: point but there were a number of rule. CHANGES i

1427
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 4: went off On fridays no longer being considered short weeks

1428
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 4: when it counts against you, know you can only play

1429
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:12,799
Speaker 4: two of them in a given, season and Now friday

1430
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 4: games don't, count which is insane to. Me BUT i

1431
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 4: want to go into because you're talking about THE abs

1432
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 4: system in baseball and umpires and how that affects. Them

1433
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 4: the league is facing a reckoning of their own when

1434
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 4: it comes to, officiating AND i am very interested to

1435
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 4: get your take on what you see happening going, forward

1436
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 4: because it sounds like we are getting dangerously close to

1437
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 4: having to have real conversations about replacement refs, again AND

1438
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 4: i don't want.

1439
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 10: To that was a rough go a few years. Back

1440
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 10: it's almost a decade and a half ago now at this,

1441
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 10: POINT i.

1442
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 4: KNOW i was, like, oh, yeah it was like five years.

1443
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 10: Ago, no that was a really closer than it actually.

1444
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 10: IS i was, like, no that was like twenty. Twelve

1445
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 10: the Fail mary In seattle doesn't seem that long. Ago,

1446
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 10: suddenly it feels like a lot very very long time.

1447
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 10: Ago BUT i mean we have these. Discussions you, KNOW

1448
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 10: i cover THE, nba and you, know they've made a

1449
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 10: real push to try to bring officials in as full time,

1450
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 10: employees as guys who basically focus on this year. Round

1451
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 10: and THE nfl is such a widely marketed, product as

1452
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 10: heavily a money maker as it. Is that's where the

1453
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 10: difference lies right. NOW a lot of these guys have regular.

1454
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 10: Jobs you, know a lot of the officials in THE nfl,

1455
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 10: have you, know their their accountants and their games at small,

1456
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 10: colleges and you, KNOW i THINK i can't remember if

1457
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 10: it Was Adrian. HILL i think he was working for you, KNOW.

1458
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 10: Nasa he's an aeronautics. Engine, yeah aeronautics. There And i'm,

1459
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 10: like there's a lot of, fascinating you, know secondary you,

1460
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 10: know occupations that these guys. Have AND i wonder if

1461
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 10: you can get to a point where if their main

1462
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 10: focus is this because of the money that's riding on,

1463
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 10: it because of the value that obviously it has both

1464
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 10: economically and culturally to you, know what we do in this.

1465
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 10: Country and how much we care about, football then will that? Help?

1466
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 10: NOW i understand the argument sometimes against it because people, say,

1467
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 10: well you're still gonna have. Mistakes it's a human human

1468
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,600
Speaker 10: element to, it AND i understand that as. Well but

1469
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 10: if you're looking for more, reps more, nuanced more time on,

1470
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 10: task is that going to help get the officiating to

1471
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 10: a better. Spot and if that's the, case why not

1472
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 10: why can't that be you, know the same system that

1473
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 10: we have in THE nba that we have In Major League,

1474
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 10: baseball where these guys are full time employees of the

1475
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 10: league and their goal is to be as you, know

1476
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 10: fully accurate as. Possible i'm not saying that's not the

1477
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 10: goal FOR nfl, officials but with this much, pressure the

1478
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 10: goal is to be as close to perfect as. Possible

1479
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 10: AND i think the only way to do that and

1480
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 10: to have you, know guys feel more comfortable that is

1481
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 10: more time on. Task And i'd like to think that

1482
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 10: the off season would have a good you, know would

1483
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 10: be a good time for a lot of those types of.

1484
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 10: Things so if these guys become full time, employees well

1485
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 10: that a motivate them because this is their their, job

1486
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 10: this is their. Livelihood full time they don't have to

1487
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 10: rely on anything else there IS i would imagine enough

1488
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 10: money to be able to support the head because of

1489
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 10: where the league is at, FINANCIALLY i would hope that

1490
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 10: maybe that would be a nice step towards. THAT i

1491
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 10: understand there are some detractors to.

1492
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 2: That real, quick before we let you, go Just raiders

1493
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 2: Added Kirk cousins to their quarterback. ROOM i called this

1494
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 2: a month, ago saying it would be the perfect move

1495
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,679
Speaker 2: For vegas And Fernando mendoza if they could afford. Him

1496
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:30,719
Speaker 2: do you think this was a smart? Move how smart

1497
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 2: of a move For?

1498
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 10: VEGAS i, mean it's an interesting move because we saw

1499
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,719
Speaker 10: the same situation In, atlanta right And kirk is still

1500
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 10: the type of guy who believes that and then rightfully,

1501
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:41,680
Speaker 10: so because we've seen, it believes he can play at a,

1502
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 10: very very high level now if the plan is in

1503
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 10: place to Sit Fernando mendoza Behind. COUSINS a phenomenal. Teacher

1504
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 10: in my, estimation my time Around kirk has, been you,

1505
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 10: know a Very i've always appreciated because of where his,

1506
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 10: heads that how he exacts about the, game he talks

1507
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 10: about the. Game he is a wonderfu full guy to

1508
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 10: have in your locker room in terms, of, hey this

1509
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 10: is HOW i go about my. Business you, know as

1510
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 10: much as we Saw Michael TenneT struggle at, TIMES i

1511
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 10: do think he garnered a lot From kirk in their

1512
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 10: time together In. ATLANTA i think that would be great

1513
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 10: For fernando as long as everybody on the same page.

1514
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: To Kill.

1516
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,680

01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 10: be year number, two and everybody understands that that's where

1518
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:25,320

1586
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 2: Hard so because you know you've talked about, this there's

1587
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 2: like the unspoken rule of like you're, there but you

1588
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 2: don't post the. Video so it's really rare that you

01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 4: Thing it's a little weird for, me but it's like

1593
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 4: that that's the benefit of going to these things is

1594
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,640
Speaker 4: you you get to have these, conversations you get to

1595
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 4: hang out in these very low pressure environments and there's

1596
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 4: an unspoken and understood rule that like you're not.

1597
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 2: There that's WHAT i, thought but like that's. Why it's

1598
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 2: like he might have been the only person who could

1599
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 2: have gotten away with. That but still it's, like.
