1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Welcome. In episode three point fifty one, What's right when

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Nick Wright presented to you by boost Mobile. If you

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: guys aren't subscribed to the pod, this past weekend is

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: a good reason example is why you should be. We

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: had World Series of Poker, seven time greats that win,

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: our poker champion and the best poker broadcaster in the world,

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Nick Shulman on the rare late Friday night pod, shout

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: out to Paul and all the folks who helped out

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: with that, and even if you're not a poker fan.

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: He then gave some awesome boxing commentary and some boxing picks.

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: Now the picks didn't end up winning, however, he handicapped

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: the Manny Paciow fight to a t. We were on

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: the right side of that fight got absolutely robbed, robbed

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: by the judges, and I thought so. But the reason

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm mentioning that here is it wasn't part of a

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: regular schedule. It was kind of a time sensitive. We

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: did it Friday night, the fights were Saturday night, and

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: so if you're not subscribed to the pod, you missed it,

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: and so subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify for the audio,

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: the visual feeds all of that like rate review. The

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: ratings and the reviews do help more than I think

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: they probably should, but they do, so we appreciate all that.

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: So there is that we have an absolutely jam packed

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: show today. We have like nine topics all for everything

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: from Dame going back to the Blazers, Marcus Smart signing

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: with the Lakers, CP three going to the Clippers, Why

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: don't necessarily believe in the Lions? Jerry Jones is just

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: silly comments on Micah Parsons and two somewhat heavy topics

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: to not even have one topic's heavy the other one's

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: obvious to start the show. So we're gonna try to

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: be faster than we typically are, particularly on the more

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: impactful times where sometimes I go twenty thirty minutes because

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: we just don't have time for that. Also, before we

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: get to what missed, brought to your straight the voicemail

35
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: brought to you by Boosmow. Before we get to that,

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: Demon's a big day. Good to see you, pal, love

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: that Bodie your You're dressed immaculately. I'm wearing one of

38
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: my worst white T shirts. But such is life. Big

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: day in the right household today, Pow, do you know

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: what's happening today. Baby sisters going off to sleep away

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: camp for three weeks. Oh she leaves, she leaves in

42
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: like an our Hell yeah, and.

43
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: So exciting stuff.

44
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: Exciting, a little nerve racking, but exciting all the same.

45
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: So all of that is happening and going on here.

46
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: She might pop in if she has to leave while

47
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: we're doing the pod to say goodbye, so that'll be nice. Uh.

48
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: There was one other thing. Oh yeah, by the way,

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: your baby sister, she is keeping you to the she

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: gets to come to LA and spend a weekend with

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: you or longer with you this summer and summer is

52
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: rapidly ending. So I'm just letting you know you're gonna

53
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: need some time available in mid to late August where

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: Deane is gonna be with you. I'm just getting you

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: aeat of time. We still got time, okay, all right,

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: no problem? All right. By the way, so here's what's

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: not on the pod today. Straight to voicemail, brought to

58
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: you by boost Mobile. The Chiefs extended. George Carloftis I

59
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: love the deal? Is it a risk? Yeah? Because if

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't continue on the trajectory that he is, then

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: it'll end up being a contract they don't love. But

62
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: if he does continue on the trajectory that he's on,

63
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: then it is an absolute steal. It is almost on

64
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: average annual value, it's about half of what the top

65
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: pass rushers are getting now Hornets when their first title

66
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: in franchise history. Is not lost on me that the

67
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Hornets finally won something and it was in a tournament

68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: LaMelo did not play in. And the Eagles receive their

69
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: ridiculous Super Bowl rings that have pop out wings on them.

70
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm not bitter at all. They're the deserving champions. Those

71
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: rings are outrageous. All right, demons, Let's get to the

72
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: story from the weekend, which is the WNBA All Star Game.

73
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: Kind of so, go ahead.

74
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the ladies of the WNBA All Star Game,

75
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: we're protesting with shirts that read pay us what you

76
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: owe us, And Kelsey Plum took a little bit of

77
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: a shot at Caitlin Clark after and said that zero

78
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: members of Team Clark were very present. It could have

79
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: been an inside thing, could have been a dig. What

80
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: did you see here?

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Kelsey Plum thing I think was totally

82
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: misconstrued and that's not the real story. But I want

83
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: to address it, because Ramona Shelbourne also, I thought, did

84
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: a good job addressing it this morning. So Kelsey Plum

85
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: is up on the dais with was it Sabrina who

86
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: was the other player alongside her? Yeah, okay, so what Sabrina. Sabrina,

87
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: by the way, is on Team Clark, and they talk

88
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: about the meeting that morning about wearing the shirts, and

89
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: Kelsey Plum says, like, now, no members of Team Clark

90
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: were there, taking poking fun at Sabrina and also I

91
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: think or I thought, poking fun at the fact that

92
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: they had all been out partying the night before and

93
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: that team didn't get up in time. That was my

94
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: initial reaction. Ramona Shelbourne then reports out on it today.

95
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: WNBA players, including Kelsey Plum, had been discussing the pay

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: US what UoS T shirts for over a week. According

97
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: to multiple sources, they settled on the idea at breakfast

98
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: Saturday morning that very few players on Team Clark attended

99
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: because of the early start, but just to make sure,

100
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: sources said, uh, Brianna Stewart and the FISA Collier and

101
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: others went by the Team Clark locker room before the

102
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: game to make sure they were on board with the

103
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: IDM plan they were, I thought, Ramona writes, I thought

104
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: it was fairly obvious Kelsey Plum tried to make a

105
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: joke that didn't land the meeting where players decided to

106
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: where the shirts at eight there on Saturday. Understandable that

107
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: not many from Team Clark made it after what we

108
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: saw on stud buds from the night before. Now, I

109
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: am not locked in enough on WNBA lore to know

110
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: about this stud bud stream prior to WNBA All Star weekend.

111
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: It seemed very popular during All Star weekend, but I was.

112
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: I am logical enough to know Kelsey Plumb was not

113
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 1: in a moment of WNBA player unity taking a shot

114
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: at half of the All Stars. But because Caitlin Clark's

115
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: name was involved, people took it and ran with it.

116
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: That's not the story. The story is how many people

117
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: are such utter losers. And here's what I mean, folks,

118
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: general rule of thumb blind. If workers are trying to

119
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: extract more money from owners and management, general rule of thumb,

120
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: you should be on the worker's side. Now, I know

121
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: some of you listening are like, well what about me?

122
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: I own a eighteen person habit astery business, and that

123
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm an owner. Okay, good you, I guess can be management.

124
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: But the vast majority of us, and I say this

125
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: by the way, as a silent partner owner of a

126
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: small business. Uh you know it's very small. It's my

127
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: wife's boutique. But like I guess, I technically have my

128
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: hand in both pots. Worker and business owner. Doesn't matter.

129
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: The people that create the product create the value. Those

130
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: people trying to extract more money at the very least,

131
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be rooting against them. And if you are

132
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: going to try to be like, well, actually, here's the thing,

133
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 1: Actually know what the hell you're talking about. So here's

134
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: the reality. Does anybody at does anybody intelligent actually think that, well,

135
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Max's contract in the NBA. In the NBA is around

136
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: fifty million a year, so I guess max contract in

137
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: the WNBA should be about fifty million a year. No,

138
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: nobody's making that case. Nobody with a platform that matters

139
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: is arguing NBA and WNBA players should be paid dollar

140
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: for dollar the same, like the purses at Wimbledon can be.

141
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: But it makes sense for the purses at Wimbledon to

142
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: be the same men's and women's they get similar TV ratings.

143
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: The tickets self for the same they are generating the

144
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: same money. The issue that the WNBA players have that

145
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: is a fair and correct issue is multifold. And again,

146
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: so many losers are just bootlcking management sellouts because they

147
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: think one day they might actually be It's the same

148
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: folks that are like, well, you know, right now, a

149
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: tax policy that helps out the lower class would help me.

150
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: But what about when I have fifty million dollars and

151
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: I want to pass that down to my kids. It's like, buddy,

152
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: probably not getting there. You probably should worry a little

153
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: bit more of the here and the now than the

154
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: estate tax. But I digress. What people are arguing is

155
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: in the NBA demands if it's a fifty to fifty

156
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: split of back br basketball related income. So if the

157
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: league generates ten billion dollars, the player's salaries get five billion,

158
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: and that's how you pay the players. The owners get

159
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: five billion, and that's how they run the league, you

160
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean, pay all the bills that come

161
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: associated with running the league, and they hope there's money

162
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: left over. It's fifty to fifty in the NBA. Do

163
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: you have a guess what again, the size of that

164
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: pie doesn't change. The size of the pie can change.

165
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: Pardon me, the split does not. It's fifty to fifty.

166
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: It used to Brew told me the other day. It

167
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: used to be sixty three thirty seven in the player's favor,

168
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: and the owners have kind of chipped away at it

169
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: or whatever. But it's fifty to fifty now, which feels

170
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: pretty fair. Like okay, Like I'm not gonna act like

171
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: owners don't do anything. I'm not gonna act like they're unimportant. Now.

172
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: I would always again, yeah, I would always listen. I'm

173
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: a union guy. I'm a union kid. I my dad

174
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: was the president of the firefighters union for basically my

175
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: entire life. I you know, I am a union guy.

176
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: My first term paper I ever wrote my life was

177
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: about leq WALSSA and the Polish Solidarity movement. It's colored

178
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: my politics, It's colored who I am. It's I think

179
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: when a lot of people talk about man, you know,

180
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: we see these stupid old tweets. They're like, you know,

181
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: in the seventies, you know, you people were able to

182
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: the man worked, the wife stayed at home, you had

183
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: a car, you had a house, you sent your kid's school.

184
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: It is like what changed and people because they're dopes,

185
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: are like, what changed is immigrants? What changed is the union?

186
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: Jobs and factors and stuff like that. But again, sorry

187
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: for being political this morning, but this is kind of

188
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: a political thing. So go back to you demand what

189
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: do we think or what is your guest? Yeah, the

190
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: split players owner to player? What do you think the

191
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: split is as of this moment?

192
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: I think it's like seventy thirty.

193
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: How about ninety one to nine?

194
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: Oh wow? Any one nine owners?

195
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: Ninety one to nine owners? Now what folks reaction is

196
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna be? But the league loses money? But twenty two

197
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: two thirds of the league he lost money last year?

198
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: Got it? Okay? So quick question on that honest question

199
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: because the world has changed in the last two years

200
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: in the WNBA, thanks in large part to Kitlin Clark,

201
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: not solely to Kaitlin Clark, but she's the driving force

202
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: and the success of women's college basketball and the eyes

203
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: and the ratings, all of that. Guys, you think right

204
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: now WNBA teams are worth more or less than worth

205
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: two years ago. You think that if you bought the

206
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: WNBA team two years ago and you offered it up

207
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: for sale today, that you would get more or less money.

208
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Do you think if it's such a bad business that,

209
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, you can't you can't claw any more

210
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: money away from Are there a bunch of WNBA teams

211
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: for sale, It's like, oh my god, nobody will buy one?

212
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Or are they expanding the league? Is it a league

213
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: where more people want to get in? Again? I don't

214
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: want to.

215
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: Expand in the league.

216
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: Doesn't it also make it pretty pretty weird to up

217
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: it right now? Wouldn't it make sense for like once

218
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: the all the teams are there, because then there's gonna

219
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: be some other split taken away from the teams when

220
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: those two teams do get there.

221
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Is that, Well, no, I it's split because like in

222
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: the NBA, they're going to bring it right, You're bringing

223
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: in more money. There's expansion fees all that, and I

224
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: don't I'm not going to I have to be careful

225
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: on what I say here, but I actually have a

226
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: little bit of insight into what what it costs for

227
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: a new w NBA team because Kansas City is trying

228
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: to get one, and I have had very casual conversations

229
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: about being a very very small part of an investment group,

230
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you it ain't cheap right now,

231
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: people think WNBA's on the uptick, they think it's a

232
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: growth industry. It is so because it is. And so

233
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: this idea that the players should just be satisfied, and

234
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: this idea that the poor WNBA owners like, uh think

235
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: about the owners that are losing money, when with most

236
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: pro sports, the real profit is in the appreciation of

237
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: the team that in over years, when you eventually cash out,

238
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you make ten twenty one

239
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: hundred acts on what your initial investment was. That's what

240
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: it is. And then there is this other very basic

241
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: logical point. Is there any other capitalistic endeavor? So I'm

242
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: not talking about social workers, I'm not talking about kindergarten teachers,

243
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about firemen. The capitalistic endeavor where someone

244
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: of Caitlyn Clark's quality, and I will use her as

245
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: an example because she is the most visible player in

246
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: the league. Is there any other field in the world

247
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: where someone of Caitlyn Clark's caliber would make less than

248
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars a year. Think about it, just for real,

249
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: think about it. And the answer is no, there is not.

250
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: So it is a little right now out of whack.

251
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: It is why Britney Griner a few years ago was

252
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: over in Russia playing ball and got caught up. Uh,

253
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: because you can make more money overseas, which is another point.

254
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: Is there proof of concept that you can pay women

255
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: athletes more than the WNBA pays them and still be

256
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: a functional business. Yeah, because leagues across Europe do it.

257
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: So again, nobody serious is arguing that the WNBA players

258
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: and the NBA players should make the same amount of money.

259
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: But nobody serious can actually think that Caitlin Clark and

260
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: Angel Reese and Paige Becker's making seventy some grand a

261
00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: year is a proper payment for services rendered. And again

262
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: just a rule of thumb. If there is a labor

263
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: dispute and you don't know much about it, I'm not

264
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: saying the workers one hundred percent of the time in

265
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: every labor dispute across the border and the right, I'm

266
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: not saying that. What I am saying is, if there

267
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: is a labor dispute and you don't know much about

268
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: the actual details, and your gut reaction is to side

269
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: with ownership, you're a sucker.

270
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: Or your sexist.

271
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: Well, in this instance, there's a lot of that. In

272
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: this instance, there is for the grand scheme, Yeah, there is.

273
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: You're being more specific to the WNBS. Yeah, And I

274
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: mean so, I guys, this is where and I am

275
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: not you know, Adam Smith in that I am not

276
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: a true market zealot. However, there is a beauty to

277
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: an actual marketplace, which is, if it's such a bad

278
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: deal for owners, why is no one selling their teams? Huh?

279
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 2: Like?

280
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: Why? Well, by the way, you people who are like

281
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: concerned about the long term trajectory of the NBA. If

282
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: you are, you have a few like ooh, data points

283
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: of the MAVs sold, the Celtic sold, the Lakers sold, Like,

284
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: why did those ownership groups get out? Now? The flip

285
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: side to that is they sold for these insane amounts

286
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: of money. So maybe that's a sign in the favor

287
00:18:53,880 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: that it's healthy, but it is. It is just outrageous

288
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: the amount of people that were like, pipe down, ladies,

289
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: be happy when the truth of the matter is, in America,

290
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: celebrity is super valuable, and over the last couple of years,

291
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: the WNBA players have become celebrities, and Caitlin might have

292
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: been the driving force, but she ain't the only celebrity. Hell,

293
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: the oh my goodness, Sophie Cunningham is a legit star.

294
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: Angel Reese is a legit star. Page is a star.

295
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: Turns out the stud Buds crew have this huge twitch

296
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: or stream following you again, so oh yeah, absolutely. I

297
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: was trying to mention more of like the newer players,

298
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: but yeh, Sabrina's been but yet all those folks. Asia

299
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Wilson is a legit star and she's been around for

300
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: a while. Like, obviously the money's not right. All right,

301
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: we'll get to something lighter like the commander's team name

302
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: in a minute, But first, nothing says summer like long days,

303
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: clutch plays and firing off a few bets on the game,

Speaker 1: all with Drafting sports Book. Because the season heats up,

Speaker 3: is trying to put that in a halt.

419
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: Uh.

420
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: There could be a number of problems here, but he

421
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: does not like their current name. He wants to revert

422
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 3: back to the Redskins, which you know was discontinued because

423
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: it was insensitive.

424
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts here?

425
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: This is we just live in the dumbest timeline man.

426
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm not going to do I'm not even

427
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: going to like wade into the obvious like distraction piece

428
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: of this because I'm not. I just don't have time

429
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: for it.

430
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: I just.

431
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: Demanse. I want you because I think you will be

432
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: stunned to if you can, can you click on the

433
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: link that I put right beneath the story, because here's

434
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: the deal. So people people conflate things, don't scroll through

435
00:26:53,040 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: it yet demonse okay, and they're like, why why did

436
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: Washington changed its name but Florida State didn't? Why are

437
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: the braves and the Chiefs allowed but the Indians weren't?

438
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: And these are not complex questions, okay. And the answer is,

439
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: is there an argument that all of the Native American

440
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: imagery should be removed? There's an argument. I actually don't

441
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: believe in that argument. I do think there is things

442
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 1: where you can be actually honoring a culture. Now. I

443
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: think that, for example, the thing my Chiefs fans do

444
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: that I hate is the tomahawk tomahawk chop, which I

445
00:27:54,280 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: think that's borderline racist, not even borderline at all in Garrison,

446
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: and I would if people don't know what it is,

447
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: I would show you, but I'm not gonna have a

448
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: clip of me on you know that can be snipped

449
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: on camera of doing that. But it's just like the

450
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: old school, like cowboys and Indians thing for the Indian side,

451
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: and so I don't like that. But the Chief's logo

452
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: in and of itself, just like the Braves logo or

453
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: the Seminoles, which the Seminole tribe tribe of northern Florida

454
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: has not only signed off on but is a party

455
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: to that, I think certainly you can make arguments for it.

456
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: You can't and you never could make an argument for

457
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: pardon me Redskin because it's.

458
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: A literal slur.

459
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: And you couldn't make an argument for Indians because the

460
00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: logo was literally a smiling, painted red based caricature and

461
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: you might be like, oh, we were laid on that,

462
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: and we were. But those are undeniably racist. So I

463
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: guess what it comes down to is this, does the

464
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: potential racism or insensitivity have any deniability? And if the

465
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: answer is yes, then we can have the discussion. But

466
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: if the answer is no, And when you have a

467
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: literal painted red face or your name is a literal slur,

468
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: then it shouldn't be used. And the reason I wanted

469
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: Demonde to go to this link is I it is

470
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: unbelievable when you look back at how many teams had

471
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: Native American imagery and they were all the same, cartoonish,

472
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: outrageous looking. What would have been called then Indian the

473
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Warriors was basically a naked guy with a feather

474
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: in his hat, a funny nose dribbling a basketball. That

475
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: was an outrageous depiction. If you scroll down further, Saint

476
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: John's who used to be called the Red Men and

477
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: then became the Red Storm because again red men is

478
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: a racist character, is a racist term. It was again

479
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: a dude with a giant headdress, again the similar nose

480
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: dribbling a basketball. Some of these are out my my.

481
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: My school used to be called the Orange Men. Again,

482
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: if we are ever if there's ever a name that's

483
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: color and then skin like color of skin and then person,

484
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: it's probably one you don't want. And so Syracuse used

485
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: to be the Orange Men. Their Native American mascot was

486
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: outrageously racist, so they got rid of it. And these

487
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: are not things we need to argue about. There is

488
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: no proper way to call a team redskin there isn't

489
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: it's a racist term. And now you might be like, Nick,

490
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: how racist is it? If you're comfortable saying it because

491
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: you wouldn't say the N word on the air, you

492
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't say other slurs. And I'll be honest, I kind

493
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: of like it debated that with my head. In my head,

494
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: I feel like because it was the team name for

495
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: decades that that I don't want to say there was

496
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: a numbing of the slur. But I guess I'm just

497
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: more comfortable saying it in this type of conversation even

498
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: though you would you would never again. Another good rule

499
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: of thumb, if calling someone a team name might get

500
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: you punched in the face, it shouldn't be a team name.

501
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: Like you might see a guy and be like, what's up, chief,

502
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna fight you, or like I'm thinking

503
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: of the other the But if you see someone and

504
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: you called him the old Washington team name, he justifiably

505
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: might punch you in the face. And so I I

506
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: just don't of all the things we need now, if

507
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: you want to say bring back the colors, bring back,

508
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 1: we actually do want it to be. We want to

509
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: find a name that is that evokes Native American heritage

510
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: and all those things. I'll listen, and I thought, Commanders,

511
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of what they were trying to do. But

512
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: I'll listen to you on it. But the Cleveland Indian,

513
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: and I also the Cleveland Indians' logo was an outrage

514
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: and Washington's name wasn't outrage. And yes, there's a million

515
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: things Trump related, like ten years ago, did he tweet

516
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: the President's got more important things to do than worry

517
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: about Washington's football team name? Of course, does Trump have

518
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, other things going on right now that he

519
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: might want the media distracted from. Sure as all of that,

520
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: but there also is at its core, what so much

521
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: of this bullshit comes down to, is I wanna be

522
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: angry about having to adjust any little bit of language

523
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: because other people want me to. And now again, is

524
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: there an argument that at times we have over corrected

525
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: in that area? Sure, is there a free speech I'm

526
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: allowed to do it, of course. But then there is

527
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: just the very basic, simple, not hard and every other

528
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: team for the last at least twenty years across collegiate

529
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: and professional sports, was able to follow it, which is,

530
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: don't have your team name be a dictionary defined slur

531
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: after that we can start having a bit of a debate.

532
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: But there is just a certain group of folks that

533
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: just want to always be mad. Like I saw the

534
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: the the outkit guys tweeted, did you see demanse the

535
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: L Duncan viral clip about L Duncan. She's a sports

536
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 1: center anchor. She does a great job. She was doing

537
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: halftime of the w NBA All Star Game.

538
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I did, I did you saw this? L.

539
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: L Duncan is doing like tossing to break at halftime

540
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: of the All Star Game and the the w NBA

541
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: All Star Game notably much like the NBA All Star

542
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: Game this year, not a lot of defense. And so

543
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: she says, and I think this is the quote, what

544
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: I'll call it a paraphrase, she said, much like a

545
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: all girls trip to can Kun, there's no d and

546
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: then they go to break. Now, you might say that's

547
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: a little risk a for the for ESPN, it certainly

548
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: courage for her to say that in that setting. I

549
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: also think El Duncan's never been shy on courage. You

550
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: also can say it's a corny joke. I don't know.

551
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: It made me chuckle just because the setting it would

552
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: have been a grown worthy joke if like a stand

553
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: up comics like, hey, just see enough to be an

554
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: all star game? That like if it was like a

555
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: whole set up punch light thing. But in a given

556
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: the setting of it and the kind of reaction, yes,

557
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: it was just so out of nowhere. I thought it

558
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: was funny, and then those I always have to be

559
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: mad at everything losers are like, can you imagine if

560
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 1: a man made this type of joke about women?

561
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 3: And no, okay, not about women, but inappropriate jokes during

562
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 3: an NBA YEA something is.

563
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: Sure, but no, but the answer is like, listen, man,

564
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: everything doesn't have to be Uh, woe is me the

565
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: oppressed straight white male that just can't get a break

566
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: these days, And it's just you're just playing the same

567
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: song again and again and again and again, and it's

568
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: just so tired and so like folks, if if you

569
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: wanted to have like a smart discussion of have we

570
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: over policed language? Is it speaking of white folks? Is

571
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: it a lot of in some instances, white mostly liberal

572
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: white people changing language in relation to people of color

573
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: that don't actually want it changed, like the Latin X stuff,

574
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: and you know, like that if you want to have

575
00:37:54,239 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: like a smart actually you know, discussion. There's there is

576
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: room for that. But if you want to die on

577
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: the hill of one of the thirty two teams in

578
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, their team name should be a literal, dictionary

579
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: defined slur, then you're just an asshole.

580
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 3: And a weird thing to be trying to halt the

581
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 3: construction of the building to go back to something like

582
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 3: I can see if he was saying you have to

583
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: change your name from Redskins to Commanders, but to change

584
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: it back, it's just it's.

585
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: A And again, I don't think that they're I don't

586
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: think they're actually gonna halt the name and they're not

587
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna go They're not changing the name back. No, you

588
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They're not. They're not changing the

589
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: name back. It's just such a it's just such a

590
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: weird hild for groups of folks to like be worked

591
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: up about it. I don't I don't totally get it.

616
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: Nothing? Just news cycles and just talking. But here is

617
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: what to me is so funny about this situation. Jerry.

618
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: Jerry is laying out all of these I think somewhat

619
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: clumsy and not exactly profound points on you know, the

620
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: risks of paying players, like, yes, they they might get hurt,

621
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: they might not be available, they could regress. Like nobody

622
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: in the audience is like, oh my god, I'd never

623
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: thought of that. But he's doing all of this when

624
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: all of us know he's ultimately gonna pay him, Like

625
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: that's the that the so the Bengals team owner is

626
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: out there, you know what I mean, being like, listen,

627
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: we don't want to give Shamar Stewart the deal we've

628
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: given all the rookies because what we don't think we

629
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: should have to pay him if he's in jail. Really

630
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: what he said, and you can agree or disagree. I

631
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: think the Bengals are poorly run. That's neither here nor there.

632
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: The point is that you that he might actually stick,

633
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: he might stand his ground, he might stick to his guns. Jerry, unquestionably,

634
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: without a shadow of a doubt, is going to pay

635
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: Mic up. And so he is just like he is

636
00:41:54,760 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: creating a This is a clumsy analogy and I've probably

637
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: used one of these something similar to this before. But

638
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: if deep down you know you and your ex are

639
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: getting back together, then you don't want to like go

640
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: on like a public Twitter rant about what a bad

641
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: girl she was and all the you know, all the

642
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: thing ways she did you wrong, because ultimately you're gonna

643
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: be instagramming pictures with her again. And there is an

644
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: element of when Jerry is like, here are all the

645
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: reasons that paying a player is super risky and you

646
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: might not want to do it. Is there not a

647
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: piece of him? Is there not a piece of him

648
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: that's like, oh boy, I'm definitely planning on paying this player,

649
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: like and this might end up being thrown in my face,

650
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: like and so that is like it, But he is.

651
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: Bruce said this years ago, and he wasn't wrong that

652
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: Jerry is entertainer first, football owner second, and he is

653
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: wanting to make sure the Cowboys are in the news

654
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: and entertaining and all of that. And I guess good

655
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: for them, but it is he's obviously gonna pay Micah,

656
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: And now you're gonna pay Micah, who you have pissed

657
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: off at least to a degree, because Micah retweeted JJ

658
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: Watts tweet and JJ Watt tweeted. Anytime you can publicly

659
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: take a dig at your star quarterback and your star

660
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: pass rushers simultaneously right before the season begins, you just

661
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: gotta take it. Nothing makes guys want to fight for

662
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: you more than hearing how upset you are they got

663
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 1: hurt while how upset you are that they got hurt

664
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: while fighting for you, and JJ Watt retweets it or

665
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, JJ Watt writes it, Micah retweets it, and

666
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: so it's just unnecessary, and all of this is unnecessary,

667
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: and it's just they're just bad at the business part

668
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: of this. Cowboys are pretty good at drafting, very good

669
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: at marketing, well above average at actual football historically, you know,

670
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean even over the last five years or whatever,

671
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: and just bad at the business part of it. And

672
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: there's no getting around that. All right, Let's get to

673
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: the Lions.

674
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: The Lions are confident this is the year that they

675
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 3: get over the hump, with David Montgomery calling it their

676
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 3: year of reckoning.

677
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: How do you see this season going for Detroit?

678
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: I'd be a little nervous, demanse, So here's so listen.

679
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I think they have too much talent

680
00:44:54,719 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: to be bad. But here are the to me ominous signs,

681
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: so to speak. First, one is one that always matters.

682
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: Lost both coordinators, Like that is one that during a

683
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: season when a team is struggling, we're like, oh, change coordinators,

684
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: but we don't do a good enough job in the

685
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: offseason of you know what I mean. Reminding folks lost

686
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn, lost Ben Johnson, So that to me is

687
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: first concern. Second concern, their center retired. They lost their

688
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: best guard in free agency, so it looks like they're

689
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: gonna slide their worst offensive lineman who was their right

690
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: guard last year whatever guard Zeitler wasn't over to center,

691
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: and then be starting a second year, sixth round pick

692
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: and probably a rookie second round pick at their two

693
00:45:54,320 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: guard spots. So they wear offensive line has been maybe

694
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: their single biggest position of strength as of you know,

695
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: in this Jared Goff Dan Campbell era. Now that interior

696
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: of the offensive line might be the biggest weakness of

697
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: the team, and that can nothing makes Jared Goff go

698
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: from man. Jared Goff has been really good to Pumpkin mode,

699
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: like up the middle pressure because he just doesn't have

700
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: the athleticism to escape or be creative if it's on

701
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: time and it's what it's supposed to see, he's really good.

702
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: But if you can get pressure on him up the middle,

703
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: it can be really deadly for him. And so that's

704
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: a concern. The tougher division this year, to me is

705
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say tougher because last year it was really good.

706
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: The Vikings were excellent, Packers were good. But again, another

707
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: tough division. That's concerning. And here's the other piece to

708
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: mind for a team last year that was fifteen and two.

709
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: Here's they're opening seven games, which is before their bye

710
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: at the Packers home for the Bears, Ben Johnson at

711
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:23,959
Speaker 1: the Ravens home for the Browns, layup at Sincy at

712
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, home for the bucks Man. And by the way,

713
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: it's just a schedule that you never can take a

714
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: breath like. There's their first seven, then a bye week,

715
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: then home for Tampa, home for the Vikings, at the

716
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: Commanders at the Eagles, home for the Giants, Okay, home

717
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: for the Packers, home for the Cowboys at the Rams,

718
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: home for the Steelers, Okay at the Vikings at the Bears.

719
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: And so could I see the Lions going from fifteen

720
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: and two and the one seed to ten and seven

721
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: in a wild card. Absolutely, and so I think they're good.

722
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: I think they're talented. Gibbs is a star. Having Hutchinson

723
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: back will be great, But I don't look. I think

724
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: the Lions losing both coordinators, the loss of the offensive

725
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: lineman that they've had, I still feel like they. I'm

726
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: not as big on Jamison Williams as maybe others are.

727
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: I wonder how that horrific playoff game has sat with

728
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: golf all off season. I wonder how back to back

729
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 1: years of just gut punch postseason losses, you know, has

730
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: sat with them. All of that is concerning to me.

731
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: And in that loss last year was we had a

732
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: graphic on the TV show yesterday of number one seeds

733
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: the last decade to lose their first home playoff game,

734
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: and it was the the Cowboys Dax rookie year. The

735
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: ravens Lamar's first year is a full time starter, the

736
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: Titans with Tannehill and the Packers with Aaron Rodgers in

737
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: that his second to last year, there in the crazy

738
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: like thirteen to ten game or whatever in the snow

739
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: against San Francisco so, by the way, three of those

740
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: teams the next year missed the playoffs. The Ravens made

741
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: the playoffs and lost in the divisional round. Like, so,

742
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: you have a seventeen point lead in the conference championship game,

743
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 1: you blow it. You come back the next year, you're

744
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: even better year the one seed and a rookie quarterback

745
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: comes to your stadium and waxes you and your quarterback

746
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: plays his worst game in a couple of years. That's

747
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: all ominous if you ask me for the Lion. Uh

748
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: do you think that's fair? I know you think you

749
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: thought I'm a little too low on the Lions historically.

750
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 3: Oh well, no, I do think that. I mean you

751
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 3: said they lost their their interior linement. But just just

752
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 3: jerick Off as well, Like I thought, it's like a

753
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 3: I don't want to say ominous limitation to win in

754
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 3: the super Bowl. It's what it sounds like they're talking about.

755
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 3: And like you need to see him, you know, win

756
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 3: that playoff game or like that was a rookie that

757
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 3: you got that done too by But but.

758
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was, and it was I mean Washington

759
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: just they were outlaw flast them that game. Yeah, I mean,

760
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: and that was the Lion. Now, the Lions defense was banged,

761
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: devastated by injury, and we know that. But I also

762
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: I am a little worried what version of Aiden Hutchinson

763
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna see at least at the beginning of the year.

764
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: So I think all that's fair, All right, summer's coming

765
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: in hot. Literally. If there's one thing you shouldn't mess

766
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 1: around with this summer, it's deodorant. Mando Deodorant sweat Control

767
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: built for this season, blocks oder all day control sweat too.

768
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,239

795
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: late August, and it really when if you're new to

796
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: the pod this year, you know, in the last few months,

797
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: football's when we really cook. We got our gambling shows.

798
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: We got a lot. Demon's a is dialed where I

799
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 1: am still by the way, Uh Connor and Paul out

800
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: are friends with the volume and with DraftKings, if we

801
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: could send DraftKings this official on the record plea, I

802
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: do not by the way I'm putting this out there.

803
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 1: This is this is what we would call a value.

804
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: Add I don't want a single extra dollar in our

805
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: wonderful partnership with DraftKings. Is that what I'm looking for?

806
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: But if we could, in addition to in football season,

807
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: when you know I'll give you my five plays of

808
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: the week, if we could also have a bonus thing

809
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: and maybe even create a cool little graphic like we

810
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: have for mine one teaser a week. We have to

811
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: come up with a snappy name for it. But if

812
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: people don't know Demons last year, I think hit like

813
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: seven in a row. He's turned into a bit of

814
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: a teaser expert. If we could have somewhere, I don't

815
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: care if it's buried, I don't care if you have

816
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: to click seventeen different links to get into it. Somewhere

817
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: on there Demanse's NFL Teaser of the Week. It would

818
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: really be a s actual moment for this podcast. So

819
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: all that's coming go ahead.

820
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 3: I mean, that'd be like my one of my greatest

821
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 3: achievements outside Hidden seventy threes in a row one time

822
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 3: it does.

823
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did. That's a sidebar. We can get

824
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: to that in a minute. But uh, it would be great,

825
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: And it would also be awesome for some of Demonse's

826
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: high school and college buddies who are regular DraftKings users

827
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: for them to be scrolling and to see the demands teaser.

828
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: It would really it would. It would be awesome. And

829
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: so we're pulling over. In the meantime, there is one

830
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: bet that I think the odds are going to shift

831
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: because I think this team is going to become a

832
00:54:52,080 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: popular sleeper pick. And I have no lawyer. If you

833
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: will when it comes to gambling, now, I obviously will.

834
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: There are certain things I won't do, like I won't

835
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 1: bet against the Chiefs, but it doesn't mean I bet

836
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs every time. A couple years ago, I

837
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: told you guys one of my favorite preseason win totals

838
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: was the Broncos over five and a half wins. I

839
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: can't stand the Broncos, and by the way, I think

840
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 1: they're one of the most overrated teams in the league

841
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: this year. It actually kind of plays into why I

842
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: like this bet, but I thought that they were great

843
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: value over five and a half wins. They ended up

844
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 1: winning I think eight games, the sixth longest odds of

845
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: any team to make the playoffs, far worse odds than

846
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: the Panthers, better odds than only the Titans, the Jets,

847
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Saints, and the Browns are a team

848
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: that I believe is going to make the playoffs, and

849
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 1: I believe these odds are going to it. Between now

850
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: and the start of the year, drop from plus three

851
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: point thirty to like plus two ninety. And that is

852
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. The Las Vegas Raiders going from

853
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: a head coach in Antonio Pierce that was just out

854
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: of his depth to Pete Carroll going from maybe the

855
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: worst quarterback situation in the league to Gino Smith with

856
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: Brock Bowers in year two and Ashton genty in year

857
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: one and Carol coaching up that secondary and a last

858
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 1: place schedule that includes games against This is not just

859
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: all strength of schedule games, but on the Raiders schedule

860
00:56:52,160 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: are the Patriots, the Titans, the Browns, the Giants, the U.

861
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: I skipped over a couple, oh well, ones that I

862
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 1: won't necessarily think are easy, but you guys might The Bears,

863
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: the Jags, the Texans late in the year, a team

864
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: that I worry about a bit, four games against maybe

865
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: these slightly overrated Chargers and the considerably overrated Broncos. Did

866
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: I mention the Colts game in there? They have on

867
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: their entire schedule aside from the Chiefs game. Oh, they

868
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: play the Cowboys. Like here's the Raiders' schedule, Patriots, Chargers, Commanders, Bears, Colts, Titans, Chiefs, Jags, Broncos, Cowboys, Browns, Chargers, Broncos, Eagles, Texans, Giants, Chiefs.

869
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: They have three monster games Chiefs and Eagles, five simple

870
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: games in my opinion, And in nine we'll see games

871
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: that team absolutely can get to nine or ten wins

872
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: and sneak into the playoffs.

873
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 3: And and if the Chiefs are in a good state

874
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 3: of that year at that time of the year, it

875
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 3: could be a free game for them.

876
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: Well that's the other thing. If you are in the

877
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: AFC West, you always hope that one of your two

878
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs games is that week seventeen Chiefs game, because about

879
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: half the time the Chiefs are resting people that week,

880
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: half the time they got to go for it, like

881
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: it could be bad let where oh man, the Chiefs

882
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: need this game for you know, playoff positioning. But about

883
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: half the time they have everything locked.

884
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 3: The Chiefs pretty well anyways too, I feel like.

885
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah yeah, and they beat them on Christmas two

886
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: years ago. So the Raiders plus three point thirty to

887
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. That is my early first NFL season

888
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: long bet. All right, Demonse, Let's go to the NBA.

889
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart is the newest Laker.

890
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 3: He's been bought out by the Wizards, and he's gonna

891
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 3: play with me playing with him next year. How do

892
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 3: you see him fitting in with this, this new version

893
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 3: of the Lakers. I'll say, like five years ago, Lebron

894
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 3: would have.

895
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 2: Been pissed playing off playing with Marcus Smart.

896
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: Okay, but what do you You're You're to call you

897
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: a Marcus Smart guy?

898
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 2: No, do you?

899
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 3: I'm not like a Marcus Smart guy. I didn't dislike him.

900
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 3: I didn't love him.

901
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: Like he was he was, he was viable. I like

902
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 2: his scrappiness.

903
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just curious, like what his role would

904
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 3: be over there with the Lakers.

905
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: So listen depth defense. Obviously that's his role here. For

906
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: the money they're paying him, it's fine. I I would

907
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: be very surprised if he is a real difference maker. However,

908
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: the hope would be that with Memphis and Washington bad

909
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: fit and then Washington's not trying for anything, and that

910
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, he's reinvigorated. The concern

911
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 1: is very simple, Demonsey. It's that he is a very

912
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: old thirty one. That the concern is because of his

913
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: style of play, that he has, you know, aged much

914
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: more quickly than you would have liked, and because of

915
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: his toughness, how many charges he's taken. All of that,

916
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: and that even at just thirty one, he's on the

917
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: significant downside. But credit where it's due. The Lakers adding

918
01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: eight and smart without giving up anything of real substance,

919
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: even though they did lose Dorian Finney Smith. It's not

920
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: a bad that the off season is ticking closer to

921
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: a decent one.

922
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 3: And go ahead and then like, do you think maybe

923
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 3: they'll get rid of Austin Reeves to get even more

924
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 3: stuff or probably gonna have it.

925
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's I think they really like Austin.

926
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: I think Austin's a little redundant with Luca plus Lebron,

927
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: but it's possible they look at it, like, we only

928
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: have one more year of Lebron, so you know, we

929
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: want to have a second ball handler other than just Luca.

930
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: What the Lakers do have, and this is I don't

931
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: think it's going to happen in the preseason, in the

932
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: off season, but during the regular season, what they do

933
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: have is the expiring contracts of Maxi, Kliba, Gabe, Vincent, Jackson, Hayes,

934
01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: all of which those got those combine for twenty five million.

935
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: If you were to add Ruis to it, then all

936
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it combines to like forty million. Art

937
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: would the Lakers during the regular season use some of

938
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: those expiring deals to try to go get what plus

939
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,439
Speaker 1: a draft pick or two, to try to go get

940
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: one more piece? And the answer to that is maybe,

941
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: And I think so. I think that they have left it.

942
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: They've been able to kind of manicure around the edges

943
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: without moving any picks or moving any expiring contracts, and

944
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: so more moves could be coming pending on the you know,

945
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Lebron still being awesome, Luca being healthy, and how close

946
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: they think they are to winning a championship this year.

947
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, that's a perfect segue into one

948
01:02:55,600 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: of our sponsored segments, Boost on the Rise. Time on

949
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: the Rise, brought to you by our friends at Boost

950
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: Mobile bring down players who found a way to stand

951
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: apart at NBA Summer League, just like Boost Superior, five G,

952
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Networks and Towers. At this point, demon's I think early

953
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: in the year at least Bronnie is going to have

954
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: a shot to earn back end of the rotation minutes. Listen,

955
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: his turnovers in Summer League were he had too many turnovers.

956
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: His turnovers in his games were one, four, three, and

957
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: then eight. That eight is obviously an outrageous number, but

958
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: he also gave you eight points, fourteen points, seventeen points,

959
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: and then eighteen points in the fourth quarter alone. His

960
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: efficiency from three needs to be better, which kind of

961
01:03:55,200 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: drugged down his efficiency in general. But he played good defence,

962
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: and he looked kind of the way you want a

963
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: second year, second round pick to look, which is like

964
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: he's better than a lot of the guys he's playing

965
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: against in Summer League because he's supposed to be. So.

966
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: I thought Bronnie stood out in a positive way, which

967
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: is why you know he's the guy we're highlighting for.

968
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: On the Rise brought to by boost Mobile. The flip

969
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: side is you would have hoped Dalton Connect's supposed to

970
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: crush summer league. He was a first round pick, you know,

971
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: almost a lottery pick. He was an old college player.

972
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: So that's the other thing, Dalton Connect. One of the

973
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: reasons he fell in the draft was he you know,

974
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: he was a four year college player. He's twenty four

975
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: years old, having played in the NBA for a year,

976
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: and he struggled mightily in summer league. And he was

977
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: ten points a game. He didn't shoot it well at

978
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: all from three, and maybe it's just you know, all

979
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: sample sized three point variants, but he was five for

980
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: twenty one from three. Didn't do much else. And now

981
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: you worry that when Connect probably had the value of,

982
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, around where he was drafted, like you know,

983
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: maybe not after a year contract gone, you hoped he

984
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,959
Speaker 1: had the value of like a late first round pick

985
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: in a trade. I don't know that he does anymore.

986
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: And so that like, so while Bronni was a positive

987
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: in summer League for the Lakers, I think Connect was

988
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: a negative. All right. Before we get to listener questions,

989
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: a few things. Just count me in demanday as someone

990
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: that's not going to believe in the Clippers for the

991
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: sixth straight year. What do you mean?

992
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 3: I mean they just what do you mean? Do they

993
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 3: will take whatever? Like it just seems like they just

994
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 3: take a bunch of big names so they can stay relevant.

995
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 3: It's like they just might be about rights.

996
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: Such an old team. Yeah, I mean Brooke and Kawhi

997
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: and James and now and listen, CB three played all

998
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: eighty two last year, so you can credit for that.

999
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: But he's not an impactful player.

1000
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 2: I'd love to see him stay with Wimby if I'm

1001
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 2: being honest.

1002
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: Well, they have too many guards though, now yeah, because

1003
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: the guarded for Fox, they have Castle and they just

1004
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: drafted Harbor, so I don't mind him going back. It's

1005
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: not like this is a bad move. But it's just

1006
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: the same old folks whoever year like watch out for

1007
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: the Clippers. They're saying it again, and that's surprising to me.

1008
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: All right, before reminder, like rate subscribe review, some of

1009
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: the listeners want to know about the seventy three point shots.

1010
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 1: Uh the how many?

1011
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 2: Uh? How many do you think that was?

1012
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 3: I don't know how many it was in a role,

1013
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 3: but I just remember it was one hundred threes. I

1014
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 3: probably we missed like the first six or seven or

1015
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 3: something like that. It was like one for six or

1016
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 3: one for seven like that, and I think it finished

1017
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 3: either like eighty two or eighty four of one hundred,

1018
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 3: So I don't know, you got any was, yeah, so.

1019
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: You've got it. So Demanse was doing an impromptu, uh

1020
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: maybe against some of the rules, tryout for a junior

1021
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: college team that will remain nameless, and they it was

1022
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: supposed to just kind of be just like an interview,

1023
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,439
Speaker 1: get to know you thing, and then they were like, hey,

1024
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: why don't you go out and you know, warm up

1025
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,959
Speaker 1: a bit or whatever, and then they had you take

1026
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,439
Speaker 1: one hundred threes twenty from each spot corner, wing, top

1027
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: of the key corner or wing corner right. And I

1028
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 1: was in the gym and Demonse missed six of his

1029
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: first seven, and I was sick, like for not for me,

1030
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: but I was sick for him. And then in the

1031
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: so he was one for seven and then in the

1032
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: next ninety three went eighty three of ninety three, because

1033
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 1: you finished with eighty four, and so I don't know,

1034
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, what was your longest streak in a row

1035
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,680
Speaker 1: of you know, without a miss I think it was

1036
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: probably you know, twenty something.

1037
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 3: And I just wanted to be known. Thompson was out

1038
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 3: there shooting just regular threes. This had the big.

1039
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 2: Net up like shooting the ball.

1040
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a little extra degree difficulty.

1041
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: There, little extra degree. Also you were kind of, you know,

1042
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: thought playing for your basketball life and had missed you

1043
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and started off shaky. It was

1044
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: one of the cool So you at the end you

1045
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: made eighty three of ninety three. And I think, if

1046
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, I said to you when we were

1047
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: walking out, like at one point you made forty five

1048
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: of forty six, like you know what I mean once

1049
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 1: and so so I think you're probably your best seventy.

1050
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: If we were to grab them, you were like sixty

1051
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: six of seventy or something.

1052
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 2: But that makes sense. It was it was like it was.

1053
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 3: I was flustered in the beginning and then but yeah,

1054
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:25,560
Speaker 3: I said, I don't know if I've ever take that

1055
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 3: many shots in a row like that was all.

1056
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: Right, Let's get to some listener questions quick.

1057
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 3: Eric says, last week, you said you'd add Derek Thomas

1058
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 3: to this current Chiefs team in it and add any

1059
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,919
Speaker 3: former player situation for the Chiefs. Would you consider will Sheds,

1060
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,520
Speaker 3: will Shields or Willie Rofe to bolster.

1061
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: O Willie Rope I hadn't thought about Willie Roape be

1062
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable. If you could just get you know, one

1063
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: of the greatest left tackles ever to guard Mahomes blindside,

1064
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: that'd be pretty great, all right.

1065
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 3: Next, Tyler asked, do you think Jayden Daniels is on

1066
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 3: a crash course to the next Mahomes.

1067
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: Next Mahomes too much?

1068
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:04,839
Speaker 2: Homes?

1069
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 1: Well, their different stylistically and body types obviously, and Jaden's awesome,

1070
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 1: but next Mahomes too much? If yes or two, you know,

1071
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: he would have to either win League MVP or Super

1072
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: Bowl this year and then he's kind of on pace.

1073
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: I think that'd be very tough and maybe you could

1074
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: do it.

1075
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 3: Next uh Danny asked if Patrick Mahomes did not exist,

1076
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 3: which current NFL quarterback would you want on the team.

1077
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Allen's the second best quarterback, but I

1078
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: do you have to like men in black neuralizer me

1079
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 1: about you know, my history with Josh Allen. So my

1080
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: answer is probably Caleb because I still think Caleb is

1081
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:45,520
Speaker 1: going to be a superstar.

1082
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 3: Next as she asked, what are people finally going to

1083
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 3: stop bloone things that are proportion whenever Clark's names comes up.

1084
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean that once once they change the way social

1085
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: media and search engine algorithms or uh work like that.

1086
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: It's just you just get too much engagement. That's why.

1087
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Uh all right.

1088
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 3: Next, Jeremy says, hey, Nick's speaking of labor relations. Curious

1089
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts and reactions to the NFL nflpa's

1090
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 3: dumpster fire the last few weeks. Or is that not

1091
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 3: allowed because of pablotory.

1092
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: No, it's allowed. Credit words to Pablo and Mike Florio,

1093
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: but most only Pablo did a truly spectacular job with

1094
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: that story, and they affected real change, and it was

1095
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 1: it was, you know, real journalism. And I thought it

1096
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: was great. I mentioned it, I talked about on the

1097
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: TV show. The NFLPA has got to get its act together?

1098
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 1: Is the short version of it? I I you know,

1099
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: I that is that story deserves way more attention than

1100
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: just that one line. Maybe we'll talk more about it

1101
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: Thursday if we have time. But it's embarrassing kind of

1102
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: and I'm glad Lloyd Howell resigned, and I'm glad jac

1103
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: tried to resigned and really good job by Pablo and Mike.

1104
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 3: Next, ass, do you think the mahomes can be the goat?

1105
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 3: With five Super Bowl wins? You already thinks Mahomes is

1106
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 3: the Yeah.

1107
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. He's the most talented and best

1108
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, but Brady's the goat. But yeah, I

1109
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: ain't that, I don't. I guess there's I think the

1110
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: question is does he have to get to seven for

1111
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: him to be considered the best ever? And no, I

1112
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: don't think he has to get to seven.

1113
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:26,679
Speaker 3: Next it clips as when is when is tennis Corner

1114
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 3: coming back?

1115
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 1: Uh? For the US Open. I'll just be honest. I

1116
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 1: didn't watch as much Wimbledon as I have in years

1117
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: past because of travel, so I I couldn't really do

1118
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: tennis Corner, but I'll be at US Open and so

1119
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: it'll come back for the US Open. All right, great job.
