WEBVTT - Jerry Jones TAUNTS Micah Parsons, WNBA All-Star protest + Lakers not done yet?! 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:04.520 Welcome. In episode three point fifty one, What's right when 0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:08.760 Nick Wright presented to you by boost Mobile. If you 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:12.039 guys aren't subscribed to the pod, this past weekend is 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.960 a good reason example is why you should be. We 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.960 had World Series of Poker, seven time greats that win, 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:21.040 our poker champion and the best poker broadcaster in the world, 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.200 Nick Shulman on the rare late Friday night pod, shout 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.880 out to Paul and all the folks who helped out 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.800 with that, and even if you're not a poker fan. 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.880 He then gave some awesome boxing commentary and some boxing picks. 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:40.360 Now the picks didn't end up winning, however, he handicapped 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.800 the Manny Paciow fight to a t. We were on 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:49.320 the right side of that fight got absolutely robbed, robbed 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:54.320 by the judges, and I thought so. But the reason 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.760 I'm mentioning that here is it wasn't part of a 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.280 regular schedule. It was kind of a time sensitive. We 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.480 did it Friday night, the fights were Saturday night, and 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.000 so if you're not subscribed to the pod, you missed it, 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.600 and so subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify for the audio, 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.200 the visual feeds all of that like rate review. The 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.920 ratings and the reviews do help more than I think 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.480 they probably should, but they do, so we appreciate all that. 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.600 So there is that we have an absolutely jam packed 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.440 show today. We have like nine topics all for everything 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.040 from Dame going back to the Blazers, Marcus Smart signing 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.040 with the Lakers, CP three going to the Clippers, Why 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:39.280 don't necessarily believe in the Lions? Jerry Jones is just 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:47.160 silly comments on Micah Parsons and two somewhat heavy topics 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.000 to not even have one topic's heavy the other one's 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:54.480 obvious to start the show. So we're gonna try to 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.880 be faster than we typically are, particularly on the more 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.280 impactful times where sometimes I go twenty thirty minutes because 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.640 we just don't have time for that. Also, before we 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.320 get to what missed, brought to your straight the voicemail 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:08.960 brought to you by Boosmow. Before we get to that, 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.640 Demon's a big day. Good to see you, pal, love 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.840 that Bodie your You're dressed immaculately. I'm wearing one of 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:21.960 my worst white T shirts. But such is life. Big 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.760 day in the right household today, Pow, do you know 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:31.200 what's happening today. Baby sisters going off to sleep away 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.280 camp for three weeks. Oh she leaves, she leaves in 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.240 like an our Hell yeah, and. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:39.280 So exciting stuff. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.359 Exciting, a little nerve racking, but exciting all the same. 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.320 So all of that is happening and going on here. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.839 She might pop in if she has to leave while 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.480 we're doing the pod to say goodbye, so that'll be nice. Uh. 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.359 There was one other thing. Oh yeah, by the way, 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.600 your baby sister, she is keeping you to the she 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.720 gets to come to LA and spend a weekend with 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.960 you or longer with you this summer and summer is 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.480 rapidly ending. So I'm just letting you know you're gonna 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.680 need some time available in mid to late August where 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.000 Deane is gonna be with you. I'm just getting you 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.640 aeat of time. We still got time, okay, all right, 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.280 no problem? All right. By the way, so here's what's 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.640 not on the pod today. Straight to voicemail, brought to 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.720 you by boost Mobile. The Chiefs extended. George Carloftis I 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.280 love the deal? Is it a risk? Yeah? Because if 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.640 he doesn't continue on the trajectory that he is, then 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.160 it'll end up being a contract they don't love. But 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.000 if he does continue on the trajectory that he's on, 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.960 then it is an absolute steal. It is almost on 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.200 average annual value, it's about half of what the top 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.360 pass rushers are getting now Hornets when their first title 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.160 in franchise history. Is not lost on me that the 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.320 Hornets finally won something and it was in a tournament 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.480 LaMelo did not play in. And the Eagles receive their 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.560 ridiculous Super Bowl rings that have pop out wings on them. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.640 I'm not bitter at all. They're the deserving champions. Those 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.840 rings are outrageous. All right, demons, Let's get to the 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.799 story from the weekend, which is the WNBA All Star Game. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.839 Kind of so, go ahead. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.920 Yeah, So the ladies of the WNBA All Star Game, 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.000 we're protesting with shirts that read pay us what you 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.320 owe us, And Kelsey Plum took a little bit of 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.719 a shot at Caitlin Clark after and said that zero 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.680 members of Team Clark were very present. It could have 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.520 been an inside thing, could have been a dig. What 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:37.560 did you see here? 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.760 Okay, So the Kelsey Plum thing I think was totally 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.680 misconstrued and that's not the real story. But I want 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.440 to address it, because Ramona Shelbourne also, I thought, did 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.080 a good job addressing it this morning. So Kelsey Plum 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:55.039 is up on the dais with was it Sabrina who 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:59.159 was the other player alongside her? Yeah, okay, so what Sabrina. Sabrina, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.840 by the way, is on Team Clark, and they talk 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.320 about the meeting that morning about wearing the shirts, and 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.400 Kelsey Plum says, like, now, no members of Team Clark 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:13.760 were there, taking poking fun at Sabrina and also I 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.000 think or I thought, poking fun at the fact that 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.800 they had all been out partying the night before and 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.120 that team didn't get up in time. That was my 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:27.040 initial reaction. Ramona Shelbourne then reports out on it today. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.720 WNBA players, including Kelsey Plum, had been discussing the pay 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.800 US what UoS T shirts for over a week. According 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.400 to multiple sources, they settled on the idea at breakfast 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.160 Saturday morning that very few players on Team Clark attended 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.600 because of the early start, but just to make sure, 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.880 sources said, uh, Brianna Stewart and the FISA Collier and 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.400 others went by the Team Clark locker room before the 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.000 game to make sure they were on board with the 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.360 IDM plan they were, I thought, Ramona writes, I thought 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.480 it was fairly obvious Kelsey Plum tried to make a 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.120 joke that didn't land the meeting where players decided to 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.520 where the shirts at eight there on Saturday. Understandable that 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.720 not many from Team Clark made it after what we 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.240 saw on stud buds from the night before. Now, I 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.560 am not locked in enough on WNBA lore to know 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:17.560 about this stud bud stream prior to WNBA All Star weekend. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.120 It seemed very popular during All Star weekend, but I was. 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.800 I am logical enough to know Kelsey Plumb was not 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.799 in a moment of WNBA player unity taking a shot 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.880 at half of the All Stars. But because Caitlin Clark's 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.280 name was involved, people took it and ran with it. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.440 That's not the story. The story is how many people 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:43.039 are such utter losers. And here's what I mean, folks, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:54.360 general rule of thumb blind. If workers are trying to 0:06:54.800 --> 0:07:01.800 extract more money from owners and management, general rule of thumb, 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.039 you should be on the worker's side. Now, I know 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.320 some of you listening are like, well what about me? 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:14.200 I own a eighteen person habit astery business, and that 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:19.080 I'm an owner. Okay, good you, I guess can be management. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.880 But the vast majority of us, and I say this 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.920 by the way, as a silent partner owner of a 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.760 small business. Uh you know it's very small. It's my 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:36.400 wife's boutique. But like I guess, I technically have my 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.680 hand in both pots. Worker and business owner. Doesn't matter. 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.960 The people that create the product create the value. Those 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.880 people trying to extract more money at the very least, 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:55.400 you shouldn't be rooting against them. And if you are 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.920 going to try to be like, well, actually, here's the thing, 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.559 Actually know what the hell you're talking about. So here's 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:11.440 the reality. Does anybody at does anybody intelligent actually think that, well, 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.840 Max's contract in the NBA. In the NBA is around 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.800 fifty million a year, so I guess max contract in 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.800 the WNBA should be about fifty million a year. No, 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:29.520 nobody's making that case. Nobody with a platform that matters 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:34.160 is arguing NBA and WNBA players should be paid dollar 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:38.360 for dollar the same, like the purses at Wimbledon can be. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.400 But it makes sense for the purses at Wimbledon to 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.720 be the same men's and women's they get similar TV ratings. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.640 The tickets self for the same they are generating the 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:53.760 same money. The issue that the WNBA players have that 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:58.920 is a fair and correct issue is multifold. And again, 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:07.000 so many losers are just bootlcking management sellouts because they 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.280 think one day they might actually be It's the same 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:17.160 folks that are like, well, you know, right now, a 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:22.040 tax policy that helps out the lower class would help me. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.360 But what about when I have fifty million dollars and 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.319 I want to pass that down to my kids. It's like, buddy, 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.200 probably not getting there. You probably should worry a little 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:33.960 bit more of the here and the now than the 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:42.280 estate tax. But I digress. What people are arguing is 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.960 in the NBA demands if it's a fifty to fifty 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:51.000 split of back br basketball related income. So if the 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:59.440 league generates ten billion dollars, the player's salaries get five billion, 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.600 and that's how you pay the players. The owners get 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.960 five billion, and that's how they run the league, you 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.600 know what I mean, pay all the bills that come 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.240 associated with running the league, and they hope there's money 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.960 left over. It's fifty to fifty in the NBA. Do 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.160 you have a guess what again, the size of that 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:23.040 pie doesn't change. The size of the pie can change. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.960 Pardon me, the split does not. It's fifty to fifty. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.280 It used to Brew told me the other day. It 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:32.200 used to be sixty three thirty seven in the player's favor, 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.920 and the owners have kind of chipped away at it 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.920 or whatever. But it's fifty to fifty now, which feels 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.320 pretty fair. Like okay, Like I'm not gonna act like 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.559 owners don't do anything. I'm not gonna act like they're unimportant. Now. 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.719 I would always again, yeah, I would always listen. I'm 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.439 a union guy. I'm a union kid. I my dad 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.920 was the president of the firefighters union for basically my 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.160 entire life. I you know, I am a union guy. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.240 My first term paper I ever wrote my life was 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.640 about leq WALSSA and the Polish Solidarity movement. It's colored 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.000 my politics, It's colored who I am. It's I think 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.920 when a lot of people talk about man, you know, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.840 we see these stupid old tweets. They're like, you know, 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.280 in the seventies, you know, you people were able to 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.920 the man worked, the wife stayed at home, you had 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.040 a car, you had a house, you sent your kid's school. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.960 It is like what changed and people because they're dopes, 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.800 are like, what changed is immigrants? What changed is the union? 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.880 Jobs and factors and stuff like that. But again, sorry 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.520 for being political this morning, but this is kind of 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.720 a political thing. So go back to you demand what 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:47.640 do we think or what is your guest? Yeah, the 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.080 split players owner to player? What do you think the 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.079 split is as of this moment? 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.480 I think it's like seventy thirty. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.360 How about ninety one to nine? 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.080 Oh wow? Any one nine owners? 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:06.880 Ninety one to nine owners? Now what folks reaction is 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:11.600 gonna be? But the league loses money? But twenty two 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.880 two thirds of the league he lost money last year? 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.440 Got it? Okay? So quick question on that honest question 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.600 because the world has changed in the last two years 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.120 in the WNBA, thanks in large part to Kitlin Clark, 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.640 not solely to Kaitlin Clark, but she's the driving force 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.720 and the success of women's college basketball and the eyes 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.480 and the ratings, all of that. Guys, you think right 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.960 now WNBA teams are worth more or less than worth 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.959 two years ago. You think that if you bought the 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.920 WNBA team two years ago and you offered it up 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.960 for sale today, that you would get more or less money. 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.560 Do you think if it's such a bad business that, 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.280 oh my god, you can't you can't claw any more 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.120 money away from Are there a bunch of WNBA teams 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.160 for sale, It's like, oh my god, nobody will buy one? 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.280 Or are they expanding the league? Is it a league 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.400 where more people want to get in? Again? I don't 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.080 want to. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.000 Expand in the league. 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.120 Doesn't it also make it pretty pretty weird to up 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.240 it right now? Wouldn't it make sense for like once 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:16.920 the all the teams are there, because then there's gonna 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.600 be some other split taken away from the teams when 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:20.720 those two teams do get there. 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.200 Is that, Well, no, I it's split because like in 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.960 the NBA, they're going to bring it right, You're bringing 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.160 in more money. There's expansion fees all that, and I 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.120 don't I'm not going to I have to be careful 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:41.280 on what I say here, but I actually have a 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:52.360 little bit of insight into what what it costs for 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:58.760 a new w NBA team because Kansas City is trying 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:05.839 to get one, and I have had very casual conversations 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:11.880 about being a very very small part of an investment group, 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:17.280 and I gotta tell you it ain't cheap right now, 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:21.280 people think WNBA's on the uptick, they think it's a 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:26.760 growth industry. It is so because it is. And so 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:33.120 this idea that the players should just be satisfied, and 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:39.120 this idea that the poor WNBA owners like, uh think 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.000 about the owners that are losing money, when with most 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:48.080 pro sports, the real profit is in the appreciation of 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:52.440 the team that in over years, when you eventually cash out, 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.360 you know what I mean, you make ten twenty one 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.280 hundred acts on what your initial investment was. That's what 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.560 it is. And then there is this other very basic 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:13.360 logical point. Is there any other capitalistic endeavor? So I'm 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.800 not talking about social workers, I'm not talking about kindergarten teachers, 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:24.080 I'm not talking about firemen. The capitalistic endeavor where someone 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:28.880 of Caitlyn Clark's quality, and I will use her as 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:34.320 an example because she is the most visible player in 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:39.040 the league. Is there any other field in the world 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:45.160 where someone of Caitlyn Clark's caliber would make less than 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:52.080 eighty thousand dollars a year. Think about it, just for real, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:57.840 think about it. And the answer is no, there is not. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.200 So it is a little right now out of whack. 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:08.440 It is why Britney Griner a few years ago was 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:13.960 over in Russia playing ball and got caught up. Uh, 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.960 because you can make more money overseas, which is another point. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.760 Is there proof of concept that you can pay women 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.600 athletes more than the WNBA pays them and still be 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:30.160 a functional business. Yeah, because leagues across Europe do it. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:38.280 So again, nobody serious is arguing that the WNBA players 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.600 and the NBA players should make the same amount of money. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:46.600 But nobody serious can actually think that Caitlin Clark and 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:53.440 Angel Reese and Paige Becker's making seventy some grand a 0:16:53.560 --> 0:17:01.120 year is a proper payment for services rendered. And again 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.840 just a rule of thumb. If there is a labor 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:10.159 dispute and you don't know much about it, I'm not 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.600 saying the workers one hundred percent of the time in 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.320 every labor dispute across the border and the right, I'm 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.440 not saying that. What I am saying is, if there 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:27.760 is a labor dispute and you don't know much about 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:32.560 the actual details, and your gut reaction is to side 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.240 with ownership, you're a sucker. 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:37.400 Or your sexist. 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.800 Well, in this instance, there's a lot of that. In 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:47.399 this instance, there is for the grand scheme, Yeah, there is. 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:52.159 You're being more specific to the WNBS. Yeah, And I 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:58.760 mean so, I guys, this is where and I am 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.520 not you know, Adam Smith in that I am not 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:07.320 a true market zealot. However, there is a beauty to 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:13.040 an actual marketplace, which is, if it's such a bad 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:18.520 deal for owners, why is no one selling their teams? Huh? 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:18.679 Like? 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:24.119 Why? Well, by the way, you people who are like 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:32.120 concerned about the long term trajectory of the NBA. If 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:37.200 you are, you have a few like ooh, data points 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:43.840 of the MAVs sold, the Celtic sold, the Lakers sold, Like, 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.520 why did those ownership groups get out? Now? The flip 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.360 side to that is they sold for these insane amounts 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.840 of money. So maybe that's a sign in the favor 0:18:53.880 --> 0:19:02.320 that it's healthy, but it is. It is just outrageous 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.440 the amount of people that were like, pipe down, ladies, 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:11.160 be happy when the truth of the matter is, in America, 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:17.399 celebrity is super valuable, and over the last couple of years, 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:24.080 the WNBA players have become celebrities, and Caitlin might have 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:29.960 been the driving force, but she ain't the only celebrity. Hell, 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:34.560 the oh my goodness, Sophie Cunningham is a legit star. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:40.200 Angel Reese is a legit star. Page is a star. 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.560 Turns out the stud Buds crew have this huge twitch 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:49.200 or stream following you again, so oh yeah, absolutely. I 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.520 was trying to mention more of like the newer players, 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:55.399 but yeh, Sabrina's been but yet all those folks. Asia 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.760 Wilson is a legit star and she's been around for 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:04.960 a while. Like, obviously the money's not right. All right, 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.640 we'll get to something lighter like the commander's team name 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.159 in a minute, But first, nothing says summer like long days, 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.000 clutch plays and firing off a few bets on the game, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.440 all with Drafting sports Book.

Donald Trump 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.639 is trying to put that in a halt. 0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:55.119 Uh. 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.119 There could be a number of problems here, but he 0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.560 does not like their current name. He wants to revert 0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.680 back to the Redskins, which you know was discontinued because 0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:04.520 it was insensitive. 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:05.880 What are your thoughts here? 0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.920 This is we just live in the dumbest timeline man. 0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:20.480 So I'm I'm not going to do I'm not even 0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:26.720 going to like wade into the obvious like distraction piece 0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:30.240 of this because I'm not. I just don't have time 0:26:30.280 --> 0:26:30.600 for it. 0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:31.680 I just. 0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.960 Demanse. I want you because I think you will be 0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:39.520 stunned to if you can, can you click on the 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:45.760 link that I put right beneath the story, because here's 0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:53.040 the deal. So people people conflate things, don't scroll through 0:26:53.040 --> 0:27:00.480 it yet demonse okay, and they're like, why why did 0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:07.600 Washington changed its name but Florida State didn't? Why are 0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:14.960 the braves and the Chiefs allowed but the Indians weren't? 0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:22.360 And these are not complex questions, okay. And the answer is, 0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:27.880 is there an argument that all of the Native American 0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:32.160 imagery should be removed? There's an argument. I actually don't 0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:35.400 believe in that argument. I do think there is things 0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:41.959 where you can be actually honoring a culture. Now. I 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:47.880 think that, for example, the thing my Chiefs fans do 0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:54.240 that I hate is the tomahawk tomahawk chop, which I 0:27:54.280 --> 0:28:00.440 think that's borderline racist, not even borderline at all in Garrison, 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.520 and I would if people don't know what it is, 0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:06.000 I would show you, but I'm not gonna have a 0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.320 clip of me on you know that can be snipped 0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.880 on camera of doing that. But it's just like the 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:16.240 old school, like cowboys and Indians thing for the Indian side, 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:20.000 and so I don't like that. But the Chief's logo 0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:23.439 in and of itself, just like the Braves logo or 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:29.000 the Seminoles, which the Seminole tribe tribe of northern Florida 0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:32.080 has not only signed off on but is a party 0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:38.920 to that, I think certainly you can make arguments for it. 0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:44.800 You can't and you never could make an argument for 0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:48.080 pardon me Redskin because it's. 0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:48.960 A literal slur. 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:54.760 And you couldn't make an argument for Indians because the 0:28:54.960 --> 0:29:02.800 logo was literally a smiling, painted red based caricature and 0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:05.880 you might be like, oh, we were laid on that, 0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:13.800 and we were. But those are undeniably racist. So I 0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:17.280 guess what it comes down to is this, does the 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:24.480 potential racism or insensitivity have any deniability? And if the 0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:28.200 answer is yes, then we can have the discussion. But 0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:31.400 if the answer is no, And when you have a 0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:37.080 literal painted red face or your name is a literal slur, 0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:41.720 then it shouldn't be used. And the reason I wanted 0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:45.760 Demonde to go to this link is I it is 0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:55.760 unbelievable when you look back at how many teams had 0:29:56.280 --> 0:30:02.560 Native American imagery and they were all the same, cartoonish, 0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:08.240 outrageous looking. What would have been called then Indian the 0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:13.120 Philadelphia Warriors was basically a naked guy with a feather 0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:18.000 in his hat, a funny nose dribbling a basketball. That 0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:24.160 was an outrageous depiction. If you scroll down further, Saint 0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:28.520 John's who used to be called the Red Men and 0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:33.280 then became the Red Storm because again red men is 0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:37.680 a racist character, is a racist term. It was again 0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:42.600 a dude with a giant headdress, again the similar nose 0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:49.680 dribbling a basketball. Some of these are out my my. 0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:53.520 My school used to be called the Orange Men. Again, 0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:59.080 if we are ever if there's ever a name that's 0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:03.840 color and then skin like color of skin and then person, 0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:11.320 it's probably one you don't want. And so Syracuse used 0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:15.520 to be the Orange Men. Their Native American mascot was 0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:21.600 outrageously racist, so they got rid of it. And these 0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:26.680 are not things we need to argue about. There is 0:31:27.360 --> 0:31:35.680 no proper way to call a team redskin there isn't 0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:39.560 it's a racist term. And now you might be like, Nick, 0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:44.600 how racist is it? If you're comfortable saying it because 0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:46.680 you wouldn't say the N word on the air, you 0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:49.800 wouldn't say other slurs. And I'll be honest, I kind 0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:52.080 of like it debated that with my head. In my head, 0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:57.320 I feel like because it was the team name for 0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:02.000 decades that that I don't want to say there was 0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:04.880 a numbing of the slur. But I guess I'm just 0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:09.360 more comfortable saying it in this type of conversation even 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:14.080 though you would you would never again. Another good rule 0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:20.480 of thumb, if calling someone a team name might get 0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:23.920 you punched in the face, it shouldn't be a team name. 0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:27.600 Like you might see a guy and be like, what's up, chief, 0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:31.840 and he's not gonna fight you, or like I'm thinking 0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:35.800 of the other the But if you see someone and 0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:39.880 you called him the old Washington team name, he justifiably 0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:45.480 might punch you in the face. And so I I 0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:50.080 just don't of all the things we need now, if 0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:54.080 you want to say bring back the colors, bring back, 0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:57.719 we actually do want it to be. We want to 0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:03.600 find a name that is that evokes Native American heritage 0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:07.640 and all those things. I'll listen, and I thought, Commanders, 0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.000 that's kind of what they were trying to do. But 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:15.800 I'll listen to you on it. But the Cleveland Indian, 0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:23.959 and I also the Cleveland Indians' logo was an outrage 0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:33.240 and Washington's name wasn't outrage. And yes, there's a million 0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:36.840 things Trump related, like ten years ago, did he tweet 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:39.560 the President's got more important things to do than worry 0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:43.320 about Washington's football team name? Of course, does Trump have 0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:46.080 you know, other things going on right now that he 0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:50.560 might want the media distracted from. Sure as all of that, 0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:57.720 but there also is at its core, what so much 0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:05.480 of this bullshit comes down to, is I wanna be 0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:17.480 angry about having to adjust any little bit of language 0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:23.759 because other people want me to. And now again, is 0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:27.520 there an argument that at times we have over corrected 0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:31.440 in that area? Sure, is there a free speech I'm 0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:35.080 allowed to do it, of course. But then there is 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:40.160 just the very basic, simple, not hard and every other 0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:45.040 team for the last at least twenty years across collegiate 0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:48.879 and professional sports, was able to follow it, which is, 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:52.560 don't have your team name be a dictionary defined slur 0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:56.160 after that we can start having a bit of a debate. 0:34:56.880 --> 0:35:00.279 But there is just a certain group of folks that 0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:04.920 just want to always be mad. Like I saw the 0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:09.239 the the outkit guys tweeted, did you see demanse the 0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:15.880 L Duncan viral clip about L Duncan. She's a sports 0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:18.959 center anchor. She does a great job. She was doing 0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:21.439 halftime of the w NBA All Star Game. 0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:26.040 Oh yeah, I did, I did you saw this? L. 0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:32.200 L Duncan is doing like tossing to break at halftime 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:36.520 of the All Star Game and the the w NBA 0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:39.480 All Star Game notably much like the NBA All Star 0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:43.000 Game this year, not a lot of defense. And so 0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:45.680 she says, and I think this is the quote, what 0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:49.080 I'll call it a paraphrase, she said, much like a 0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:53.279 all girls trip to can Kun, there's no d and 0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:55.799 then they go to break. Now, you might say that's 0:35:55.800 --> 0:35:59.840 a little risk a for the for ESPN, it certainly 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:03.960 courage for her to say that in that setting. I 0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:07.040 also think El Duncan's never been shy on courage. You 0:36:07.120 --> 0:36:09.239 also can say it's a corny joke. I don't know. 0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:12.640 It made me chuckle just because the setting it would 0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:16.440 have been a grown worthy joke if like a stand 0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:19.719 up comics like, hey, just see enough to be an 0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:21.440 all star game? That like if it was like a 0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:24.880 whole set up punch light thing. But in a given 0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:29.120 the setting of it and the kind of reaction, yes, 0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:31.239 it was just so out of nowhere. I thought it 0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:36.120 was funny, and then those I always have to be 0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:42.000 mad at everything losers are like, can you imagine if 0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:45.720 a man made this type of joke about women? 0:36:46.400 --> 0:36:50.359 And no, okay, not about women, but inappropriate jokes during 0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:52.760 an NBA YEA something is. 0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:56.640 Sure, but no, but the answer is like, listen, man, 0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:03.279 everything doesn't have to be Uh, woe is me the 0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:07.280 oppressed straight white male that just can't get a break 0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:11.000 these days, And it's just you're just playing the same 0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:15.560 song again and again and again and again, and it's 0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:25.080 just so tired and so like folks, if if you 0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:30.080 wanted to have like a smart discussion of have we 0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:35.640 over policed language? Is it speaking of white folks? Is 0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:41.120 it a lot of in some instances, white mostly liberal 0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:45.760 white people changing language in relation to people of color 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:50.440 that don't actually want it changed, like the Latin X stuff, 0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:53.719 and you know, like that if you want to have 0:37:54.239 --> 0:38:00.719 like a smart actually you know, discussion. There's there is 0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:04.120 room for that. But if you want to die on 0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:08.000 the hill of one of the thirty two teams in 0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:12.520 the NFL, their team name should be a literal, dictionary 0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:16.800 defined slur, then you're just an asshole. 0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:22.760 And a weird thing to be trying to halt the 0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:25.279 construction of the building to go back to something like 0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:26.560 I can see if he was saying you have to 0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:30.040 change your name from Redskins to Commanders, but to change 0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:32.040 it back, it's just it's. 0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:34.439 A And again, I don't think that they're I don't 0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:36.600 think they're actually gonna halt the name and they're not 0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:39.400 gonna go They're not changing the name back. No, you 0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:42.080 know what I mean. They're not. They're not changing the 0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:46.880 name back. It's just such a it's just such a 0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:53.040 weird hild for groups of folks to like be worked 0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:55.200 up about it.

He missed six games last year. 0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:10.920 What do you think that Jerry's trying to get done 0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:11.680 by saying this? 0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:17.719 Nothing? Just news cycles and just talking. But here is 0:40:17.800 --> 0:40:26.480 what to me is so funny about this situation. Jerry. 0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:32.680 Jerry is laying out all of these I think somewhat 0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:43.759 clumsy and not exactly profound points on you know, the 0:40:44.000 --> 0:40:48.160 risks of paying players, like, yes, they they might get hurt, 0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:52.200 they might not be available, they could regress. Like nobody 0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:54.560 in the audience is like, oh my god, I'd never 0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:59.080 thought of that. But he's doing all of this when 0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:04.640 all of us know he's ultimately gonna pay him, Like 0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:10.239 that's the that the so the Bengals team owner is 0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:12.720 out there, you know what I mean, being like, listen, 0:41:13.200 --> 0:41:16.080 we don't want to give Shamar Stewart the deal we've 0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:18.480 given all the rookies because what we don't think we 0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:21.320 should have to pay him if he's in jail. Really 0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:26.480 what he said, and you can agree or disagree. I 0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:29.640 think the Bengals are poorly run. That's neither here nor there. 0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:38.240 The point is that you that he might actually stick, 0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:45.800 he might stand his ground, he might stick to his guns. Jerry, unquestionably, 0:41:46.680 --> 0:41:49.719 without a shadow of a doubt, is going to pay 0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:54.480 Mic up. And so he is just like he is 0:41:54.760 --> 0:42:00.760 creating a This is a clumsy analogy and I've probably 0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:05.239 used one of these something similar to this before. But 0:42:06.920 --> 0:42:10.920 if deep down you know you and your ex are 0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:15.839 getting back together, then you don't want to like go 0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:21.920 on like a public Twitter rant about what a bad 0:42:22.080 --> 0:42:25.400 girl she was and all the you know, all the 0:42:25.600 --> 0:42:30.880 thing ways she did you wrong, because ultimately you're gonna 0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:36.399 be instagramming pictures with her again. And there is an 0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:40.080 element of when Jerry is like, here are all the 0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:43.520 reasons that paying a player is super risky and you 0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:46.160 might not want to do it. Is there not a 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:49.000 piece of him? Is there not a piece of him 0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:53.720 that's like, oh boy, I'm definitely planning on paying this player, 0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:58.720 like and this might end up being thrown in my face, 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:04.960 like and so that is like it, But he is. 0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:12.960 Bruce said this years ago, and he wasn't wrong that 0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:19.200 Jerry is entertainer first, football owner second, and he is 0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:22.640 wanting to make sure the Cowboys are in the news 0:43:22.680 --> 0:43:26.640 and entertaining and all of that. And I guess good 0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:31.320 for them, but it is he's obviously gonna pay Micah, 0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:34.160 And now you're gonna pay Micah, who you have pissed 0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:40.080 off at least to a degree, because Micah retweeted JJ 0:43:40.239 --> 0:43:45.480 Watts tweet and JJ Watt tweeted. Anytime you can publicly 0:43:45.560 --> 0:43:47.919 take a dig at your star quarterback and your star 0:43:48.280 --> 0:43:52.319 pass rushers simultaneously right before the season begins, you just 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:54.920 gotta take it. Nothing makes guys want to fight for 0:43:55.000 --> 0:43:58.000 you more than hearing how upset you are they got 0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:01.439 hurt while how upset you are that they got hurt 0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:05.680 while fighting for you, and JJ Watt retweets it or 0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:09.000 I'm sorry, JJ Watt writes it, Micah retweets it, and 0:44:09.080 --> 0:44:13.480 so it's just unnecessary, and all of this is unnecessary, 0:44:13.920 --> 0:44:16.120 and it's just they're just bad at the business part 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:19.160 of this. Cowboys are pretty good at drafting, very good 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:25.040 at marketing, well above average at actual football historically, you know, 0:44:25.160 --> 0:44:27.360 I mean even over the last five years or whatever, 0:44:28.920 --> 0:44:31.440 and just bad at the business part of it. And 0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:34.040 there's no getting around that. All right, Let's get to 0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:34.520 the Lions. 0:44:35.320 --> 0:44:37.759 The Lions are confident this is the year that they 0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:40.399 get over the hump, with David Montgomery calling it their 0:44:40.600 --> 0:44:41.640 year of reckoning. 0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:44.080 How do you see this season going for Detroit? 0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:52.280 I'd be a little nervous, demanse, So here's so listen. 0:44:52.360 --> 0:44:54.520 I don't think I think they have too much talent 0:44:54.719 --> 0:45:02.920 to be bad. But here are the to me ominous signs, 0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:08.120 so to speak. First, one is one that always matters. 0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:12.840 Lost both coordinators, Like that is one that during a 0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:16.160 season when a team is struggling, we're like, oh, change coordinators, 0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:18.120 but we don't do a good enough job in the 0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:21.560 offseason of you know what I mean. Reminding folks lost 0:45:21.560 --> 0:45:25.120 Aaron Glenn, lost Ben Johnson, So that to me is 0:45:26.920 --> 0:45:33.120 first concern. Second concern, their center retired. They lost their 0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:37.560 best guard in free agency, so it looks like they're 0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:42.640 gonna slide their worst offensive lineman who was their right 0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:46.440 guard last year whatever guard Zeitler wasn't over to center, 0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:49.680 and then be starting a second year, sixth round pick 0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:54.279 and probably a rookie second round pick at their two 0:45:54.320 --> 0:46:02.520 guard spots. So they wear offensive line has been maybe 0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:07.000 their single biggest position of strength as of you know, 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:12.239 in this Jared Goff Dan Campbell era. Now that interior 0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:15.080 of the offensive line might be the biggest weakness of 0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:20.879 the team, and that can nothing makes Jared Goff go 0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:25.560 from man. Jared Goff has been really good to Pumpkin mode, 0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.759 like up the middle pressure because he just doesn't have 0:46:28.800 --> 0:46:32.200 the athleticism to escape or be creative if it's on 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:35.399 time and it's what it's supposed to see, he's really good. 0:46:36.120 --> 0:46:38.840 But if you can get pressure on him up the middle, 0:46:39.239 --> 0:46:42.280 it can be really deadly for him. And so that's 0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:48.440 a concern. The tougher division this year, to me is 0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:51.399 I shouldn't say tougher because last year it was really good. 0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:55.560 The Vikings were excellent, Packers were good. But again, another 0:46:55.680 --> 0:46:59.759 tough division. That's concerning. And here's the other piece to 0:46:59.840 --> 0:47:03.040 mind for a team last year that was fifteen and two. 0:47:05.040 --> 0:47:09.520 Here's they're opening seven games, which is before their bye 0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:18.000 at the Packers home for the Bears, Ben Johnson at 0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:23.959 the Ravens home for the Browns, layup at Sincy at 0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:30.640 the Chiefs, home for the bucks Man. And by the way, 0:47:30.719 --> 0:47:33.759 it's just a schedule that you never can take a 0:47:33.840 --> 0:47:37.600 breath like. There's their first seven, then a bye week, 0:47:38.040 --> 0:47:41.960 then home for Tampa, home for the Vikings, at the 0:47:42.000 --> 0:47:46.879 Commanders at the Eagles, home for the Giants, Okay, home 0:47:46.920 --> 0:47:50.400 for the Packers, home for the Cowboys at the Rams, 0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:53.680 home for the Steelers, Okay at the Vikings at the Bears. 0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:58.360 And so could I see the Lions going from fifteen 0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:02.080 and two and the one seed to ten and seven 0:48:02.120 --> 0:48:11.800 in a wild card. Absolutely, and so I think they're good. 0:48:12.160 --> 0:48:16.520 I think they're talented. Gibbs is a star. Having Hutchinson 0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:21.200 back will be great, But I don't look. I think 0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:25.000 the Lions losing both coordinators, the loss of the offensive 0:48:25.040 --> 0:48:30.000 lineman that they've had, I still feel like they. I'm 0:48:30.040 --> 0:48:33.000 not as big on Jamison Williams as maybe others are. 0:48:32.600 --> 0:48:37.480 I wonder how that horrific playoff game has sat with 0:48:37.600 --> 0:48:40.520 golf all off season. I wonder how back to back 0:48:40.640 --> 0:48:45.879 years of just gut punch postseason losses, you know, has 0:48:45.920 --> 0:48:50.799 sat with them. All of that is concerning to me. 0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:55.600 And in that loss last year was we had a 0:48:55.600 --> 0:48:59.760 graphic on the TV show yesterday of number one seeds 0:48:59.800 --> 0:49:02.640 the last decade to lose their first home playoff game, 0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:12.080 and it was the the Cowboys Dax rookie year. The 0:49:12.200 --> 0:49:16.719 ravens Lamar's first year is a full time starter, the 0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:22.880 Titans with Tannehill and the Packers with Aaron Rodgers in 0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:27.880 that his second to last year, there in the crazy 0:49:27.960 --> 0:49:30.560 like thirteen to ten game or whatever in the snow 0:49:30.600 --> 0:49:35.600 against San Francisco so, by the way, three of those 0:49:35.640 --> 0:49:38.080 teams the next year missed the playoffs. The Ravens made 0:49:38.080 --> 0:49:41.319 the playoffs and lost in the divisional round. Like, so, 0:49:41.360 --> 0:49:44.120 you have a seventeen point lead in the conference championship game, 0:49:44.160 --> 0:49:46.399 you blow it. You come back the next year, you're 0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:49.320 even better year the one seed and a rookie quarterback 0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:53.360 comes to your stadium and waxes you and your quarterback 0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:56.120 plays his worst game in a couple of years. That's 0:49:56.160 --> 0:50:01.400 all ominous if you ask me for the Lion. Uh 0:50:01.680 --> 0:50:03.840 do you think that's fair? I know you think you 0:50:04.000 --> 0:50:06.440 thought I'm a little too low on the Lions historically. 0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:09.239 Oh well, no, I do think that. I mean you 0:50:09.320 --> 0:50:12.719 said they lost their their interior linement. But just just 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:14.759 jerick Off as well, Like I thought, it's like a 0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:17.440 I don't want to say ominous limitation to win in 0:50:17.480 --> 0:50:19.760 the super Bowl. It's what it sounds like they're talking about. 0:50:20.040 --> 0:50:22.000 And like you need to see him, you know, win 0:50:22.080 --> 0:50:24.799 that playoff game or like that was a rookie that 0:50:25.000 --> 0:50:27.319 you got that done too by But but. 0:50:27.360 --> 0:50:29.880 Yeah, and it was, and it was I mean Washington 0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:33.200 just they were outlaw flast them that game. Yeah, I mean, 0:50:33.239 --> 0:50:37.680 and that was the Lion. Now, the Lions defense was banged, 0:50:37.800 --> 0:50:42.040 devastated by injury, and we know that. But I also 0:50:42.080 --> 0:50:44.520 I am a little worried what version of Aiden Hutchinson 0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:46.560 we're gonna see at least at the beginning of the year. 0:50:46.800 --> 0:50:49.200 So I think all that's fair, All right, summer's coming 0:50:49.200 --> 0:50:52.480 in hot. Literally. If there's one thing you shouldn't mess 0:50:52.520 --> 0:50:56.760 around with this summer, it's deodorant.

We got our gambling shows. 0:52:49.920 --> 0:52:53.000 We got a lot. Demon's a is dialed where I 0:52:53.000 --> 0:52:58.439 am still by the way, Uh Connor and Paul out 0:52:58.680 --> 0:53:03.000 are friends with the volume and with DraftKings, if we 0:53:03.040 --> 0:53:07.960 could send DraftKings this official on the record plea, I 0:53:08.040 --> 0:53:10.719 do not by the way I'm putting this out there. 0:53:11.200 --> 0:53:13.760 This is this is what we would call a value. 0:53:13.840 --> 0:53:17.920 Add I don't want a single extra dollar in our 0:53:18.000 --> 0:53:20.640 wonderful partnership with DraftKings. Is that what I'm looking for? 0:53:22.400 --> 0:53:25.320 But if we could, in addition to in football season, 0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:29.960 when you know I'll give you my five plays of 0:53:30.000 --> 0:53:33.040 the week, if we could also have a bonus thing 0:53:33.520 --> 0:53:35.920 and maybe even create a cool little graphic like we 0:53:36.000 --> 0:53:38.799 have for mine one teaser a week. We have to 0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:41.400 come up with a snappy name for it. But if 0:53:41.440 --> 0:53:44.360 people don't know Demons last year, I think hit like 0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:46.719 seven in a row. He's turned into a bit of 0:53:46.719 --> 0:53:50.000 a teaser expert. If we could have somewhere, I don't 0:53:50.000 --> 0:53:51.840 care if it's buried, I don't care if you have 0:53:51.920 --> 0:53:55.440 to click seventeen different links to get into it. Somewhere 0:53:55.480 --> 0:53:59.160 on there Demanse's NFL Teaser of the Week. It would 0:53:59.200 --> 0:54:03.480 really be a s actual moment for this podcast. So 0:54:03.640 --> 0:54:06.000 all that's coming go ahead. 0:54:06.280 --> 0:54:08.280 I mean, that'd be like my one of my greatest 0:54:08.280 --> 0:54:11.120 achievements outside Hidden seventy threes in a row one time 0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:11.600 it does. 0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:15.239 Oh yeah, we did. That's a sidebar. We can get 0:54:15.239 --> 0:54:19.880 to that in a minute. But uh, it would be great, 0:54:20.160 --> 0:54:23.040 And it would also be awesome for some of Demonse's 0:54:23.080 --> 0:54:26.880 high school and college buddies who are regular DraftKings users 0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:31.440 for them to be scrolling and to see the demands teaser. 0:54:31.800 --> 0:54:34.799 It would really it would. It would be awesome. And 0:54:34.840 --> 0:54:39.839 so we're pulling over. In the meantime, there is one 0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:46.400 bet that I think the odds are going to shift 0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:51.799 because I think this team is going to become a 0:54:52.080 --> 0:55:01.080 popular sleeper pick. And I have no lawyer. If you 0:55:01.200 --> 0:55:08.240 will when it comes to gambling, now, I obviously will. 0:55:09.400 --> 0:55:12.600 There are certain things I won't do, like I won't 0:55:12.680 --> 0:55:15.439 bet against the Chiefs, but it doesn't mean I bet 0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:18.120 on the Chiefs every time. A couple years ago, I 0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:21.400 told you guys one of my favorite preseason win totals 0:55:21.800 --> 0:55:25.000 was the Broncos over five and a half wins. I 0:55:25.080 --> 0:55:27.759 can't stand the Broncos, and by the way, I think 0:55:27.760 --> 0:55:29.800 they're one of the most overrated teams in the league 0:55:29.840 --> 0:55:32.440 this year. It actually kind of plays into why I 0:55:32.600 --> 0:55:36.319 like this bet, but I thought that they were great 0:55:36.440 --> 0:55:38.279 value over five and a half wins. They ended up 0:55:38.320 --> 0:55:45.439 winning I think eight games, the sixth longest odds of 0:55:45.560 --> 0:55:51.399 any team to make the playoffs, far worse odds than 0:55:51.560 --> 0:55:57.360 the Panthers, better odds than only the Titans, the Jets, 0:55:57.480 --> 0:56:02.040 the Giants, the Saints, and the Browns are a team 0:56:02.120 --> 0:56:05.319 that I believe is going to make the playoffs, and 0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:08.240 I believe these odds are going to it. Between now 0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:10.960 and the start of the year, drop from plus three 0:56:10.960 --> 0:56:15.279 point thirty to like plus two ninety. And that is 0:56:16.080 --> 0:56:23.000 the Las Vegas Raiders. The Las Vegas Raiders going from 0:56:23.680 --> 0:56:27.719 a head coach in Antonio Pierce that was just out 0:56:27.719 --> 0:56:31.440 of his depth to Pete Carroll going from maybe the 0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:35.520 worst quarterback situation in the league to Gino Smith with 0:56:35.719 --> 0:56:39.239 Brock Bowers in year two and Ashton genty in year 0:56:39.320 --> 0:56:43.600 one and Carol coaching up that secondary and a last 0:56:43.640 --> 0:56:48.799 place schedule that includes games against This is not just 0:56:48.840 --> 0:56:52.120 all strength of schedule games, but on the Raiders schedule 0:56:52.160 --> 0:57:00.120 are the Patriots, the Titans, the Browns, the Giants, the U. 0:57:00.840 --> 0:57:03.400 I skipped over a couple, oh well, ones that I 0:57:03.440 --> 0:57:07.280 won't necessarily think are easy, but you guys might The Bears, 0:57:07.360 --> 0:57:16.200 the Jags, the Texans late in the year, a team 0:57:16.240 --> 0:57:20.720 that I worry about a bit, four games against maybe 0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:28.320 these slightly overrated Chargers and the considerably overrated Broncos. Did 0:57:28.320 --> 0:57:33.440 I mention the Colts game in there? They have on 0:57:33.480 --> 0:57:37.360 their entire schedule aside from the Chiefs game. Oh, they 0:57:37.400 --> 0:57:50.760 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. 0:57:51.080 --> 0:57:57.400 They have three monster games Chiefs and Eagles, five simple 0:57:57.480 --> 0:58:03.160 games in my opinion, And in nine we'll see games 0:58:03.640 --> 0:58:09.200 that team absolutely can get to nine or ten wins 0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:11.400 and sneak into the playoffs. 0:58:12.280 --> 0:58:15.400 And and if the Chiefs are in a good state 0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:16.840 of that year at that time of the year, it 0:58:16.880 --> 0:58:17.920 could be a free game for them. 0:58:18.040 --> 0:58:22.440 Well that's the other thing. If you are in the 0:58:22.480 --> 0:58:29.520 AFC West, you always hope that one of your two 0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:34.640 Chiefs games is that week seventeen Chiefs game, because about 0:58:34.680 --> 0:58:37.960 half the time the Chiefs are resting people that week, 0:58:38.600 --> 0:58:40.320 half the time they got to go for it, like 0:58:40.440 --> 0:58:43.360 it could be bad let where oh man, the Chiefs 0:58:43.440 --> 0:58:47.000 need this game for you know, playoff positioning. But about 0:58:47.040 --> 0:58:49.320 half the time they have everything locked. 0:58:50.360 --> 0:58:53.840 The Chiefs pretty well anyways too, I feel like. 0:58:54.440 --> 0:58:57.240 Sometimes yeah yeah, and they beat them on Christmas two 0:58:57.320 --> 0:59:02.600 years ago. So the Raiders plus three point thirty to 0:59:02.760 --> 0:59:08.800 make the playoffs. That is my early first NFL season 0:59:08.840 --> 0:59:11.800 long bet. All right, Demonse, Let's go to the NBA. 0:59:12.840 --> 0:59:15.040 Marcus Smart is the newest Laker. 0:59:15.680 --> 0:59:17.560 He's been bought out by the Wizards, and he's gonna 0:59:17.560 --> 0:59:19.600 play with me playing with him next year. How do 0:59:19.640 --> 0:59:21.720 you see him fitting in with this, this new version 0:59:21.760 --> 0:59:24.480 of the Lakers. I'll say, like five years ago, Lebron 0:59:24.520 --> 0:59:24.800 would have. 0:59:24.800 --> 0:59:26.960 Been pissed playing off playing with Marcus Smart. 0:59:28.000 --> 0:59:31.120 Okay, but what do you You're You're to call you 0:59:31.160 --> 0:59:32.360 a Marcus Smart guy? 0:59:33.160 --> 0:59:33.800 No, do you? 0:59:33.840 --> 0:59:36.320 I'm not like a Marcus Smart guy. I didn't dislike him. 0:59:37.160 --> 0:59:38.280 I didn't love him. 0:59:38.040 --> 0:59:40.360 Like he was he was, he was viable. I like 0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:41.400 his scrappiness. 0:59:42.800 --> 0:59:45.560 I mean, I'm just curious, like what his role would 0:59:45.560 --> 0:59:47.240 be over there with the Lakers. 0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:55.200 So listen depth defense. Obviously that's his role here. For 0:59:55.280 --> 0:59:59.960 the money they're paying him, it's fine. I I would 1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:05.320 be very surprised if he is a real difference maker. However, 1:00:05.920 --> 1:00:12.720 the hope would be that with Memphis and Washington bad 1:00:12.840 --> 1:00:16.720 fit and then Washington's not trying for anything, and that 1:00:16.960 --> 1:00:23.480 all of a sudden, you know, he's reinvigorated. The concern 1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:27.760 is very simple, Demonsey. It's that he is a very 1:00:27.920 --> 1:00:32.040 old thirty one. That the concern is because of his 1:00:32.400 --> 1:00:38.960 style of play, that he has, you know, aged much 1:00:39.040 --> 1:00:44.320 more quickly than you would have liked, and because of 1:00:44.320 --> 1:00:46.960 his toughness, how many charges he's taken. All of that, 1:00:47.520 --> 1:00:49.720 and that even at just thirty one, he's on the 1:00:49.760 --> 1:00:55.680 significant downside. But credit where it's due. The Lakers adding 1:00:56.400 --> 1:01:01.720 eight and smart without giving up anything of real substance, 1:01:02.360 --> 1:01:05.600 even though they did lose Dorian Finney Smith. It's not 1:01:05.800 --> 1:01:10.240 a bad that the off season is ticking closer to 1:01:10.400 --> 1:01:13.080 a decent one. 1:01:12.400 --> 1:01:15.400 And go ahead and then like, do you think maybe 1:01:15.400 --> 1:01:18.160 they'll get rid of Austin Reeves to get even more 1:01:18.200 --> 1:01:19.360 stuff or probably gonna have it. 1:01:19.600 --> 1:01:22.720 So I don't know. It's I think they really like Austin. 1:01:23.360 --> 1:01:26.320 I think Austin's a little redundant with Luca plus Lebron, 1:01:26.360 --> 1:01:28.320 but it's possible they look at it, like, we only 1:01:28.360 --> 1:01:31.040 have one more year of Lebron, so you know, we 1:01:31.080 --> 1:01:33.640 want to have a second ball handler other than just Luca. 1:01:34.440 --> 1:01:37.480 What the Lakers do have, and this is I don't 1:01:37.480 --> 1:01:41.600 think it's going to happen in the preseason, in the 1:01:41.600 --> 1:01:46.120 off season, but during the regular season, what they do 1:01:46.240 --> 1:01:55.200 have is the expiring contracts of Maxi, Kliba, Gabe, Vincent, Jackson, Hayes, 1:01:56.240 --> 1:02:01.480 all of which those got those combine for twenty five million. 1:02:01.960 --> 1:02:07.160 If you were to add Ruis to it, then all 1:02:07.200 --> 1:02:11.040 of a sudden, it combines to like forty million. Art 1:02:11.080 --> 1:02:14.880 would the Lakers during the regular season use some of 1:02:14.920 --> 1:02:20.160 those expiring deals to try to go get what plus 1:02:20.240 --> 1:02:23.439 a draft pick or two, to try to go get 1:02:23.440 --> 1:02:26.680 one more piece? And the answer to that is maybe, 1:02:27.280 --> 1:02:30.640 And I think so. I think that they have left it. 1:02:30.480 --> 1:02:34.080 They've been able to kind of manicure around the edges 1:02:34.440 --> 1:02:38.560 without moving any picks or moving any expiring contracts, and 1:02:38.640 --> 1:02:43.160 so more moves could be coming pending on the you know, 1:02:44.240 --> 1:02:48.400 Lebron still being awesome, Luca being healthy, and how close 1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:51.400 they think they are to winning a championship this year. 1:02:52.160 --> 1:02:55.560 And by the way, that's a perfect segue into one 1:02:55.600 --> 1:03:00.320 of our sponsored segments, Boost on the Rise. Time on 1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:03.000 the Rise, brought to you by our friends at Boost 1:03:03.040 --> 1:03:05.640 Mobile bring down players who found a way to stand 1:03:05.640 --> 1:03:09.680 apart at NBA Summer League, just like Boost Superior, five G, 1:03:09.880 --> 1:03:16.600 Networks and Towers. At this point, demon's I think early 1:03:16.680 --> 1:03:20.480 in the year at least Bronnie is going to have 1:03:20.520 --> 1:03:25.040 a shot to earn back end of the rotation minutes. Listen, 1:03:25.400 --> 1:03:31.440 his turnovers in Summer League were he had too many turnovers. 1:03:31.600 --> 1:03:35.280 His turnovers in his games were one, four, three, and 1:03:35.480 --> 1:03:39.400 then eight. That eight is obviously an outrageous number, but 1:03:40.280 --> 1:03:44.800 he also gave you eight points, fourteen points, seventeen points, 1:03:44.840 --> 1:03:49.920 and then eighteen points in the fourth quarter alone. His 1:03:50.760 --> 1:03:55.120 efficiency from three needs to be better, which kind of 1:03:55.200 --> 1:04:00.400 drugged down his efficiency in general. But he played good defence, 1:04:00.920 --> 1:04:04.480 and he looked kind of the way you want a 1:04:04.800 --> 1:04:08.240 second year, second round pick to look, which is like 1:04:08.400 --> 1:04:11.280 he's better than a lot of the guys he's playing 1:04:11.320 --> 1:04:13.840 against in Summer League because he's supposed to be. So. 1:04:13.920 --> 1:04:17.440 I thought Bronnie stood out in a positive way, which 1:04:17.480 --> 1:04:20.880 is why you know he's the guy we're highlighting for. 1:04:21.160 --> 1:04:23.880 On the Rise brought to by boost Mobile. The flip 1:04:23.920 --> 1:04:28.120 side is you would have hoped Dalton Connect's supposed to 1:04:28.120 --> 1:04:31.760 crush summer league. He was a first round pick, you know, 1:04:31.920 --> 1:04:35.640 almost a lottery pick. He was an old college player. 1:04:36.000 --> 1:04:39.240 So that's the other thing, Dalton Connect. One of the 1:04:39.280 --> 1:04:41.880 reasons he fell in the draft was he you know, 1:04:41.960 --> 1:04:45.400 he was a four year college player. He's twenty four 1:04:45.560 --> 1:04:49.000 years old, having played in the NBA for a year, 1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:54.400 and he struggled mightily in summer league. And he was 1:04:54.480 --> 1:04:57.480 ten points a game. He didn't shoot it well at 1:04:57.480 --> 1:05:00.200 all from three, and maybe it's just you know, all 1:05:00.280 --> 1:05:04.840 sample sized three point variants, but he was five for 1:05:05.080 --> 1:05:09.320 twenty one from three. Didn't do much else. And now 1:05:09.400 --> 1:05:14.520 you worry that when Connect probably had the value of, 1:05:15.160 --> 1:05:18.120 you know, around where he was drafted, like you know, 1:05:18.720 --> 1:05:22.920 maybe not after a year contract gone, you hoped he 1:05:22.960 --> 1:05:24.959 had the value of like a late first round pick 1:05:24.960 --> 1:05:27.400 in a trade. I don't know that he does anymore. 1:05:28.040 --> 1:05:32.120 And so that like, so while Bronni was a positive 1:05:32.120 --> 1:05:35.280 in summer League for the Lakers, I think Connect was 1:05:36.160 --> 1:05:40.680 a negative. All right. Before we get to listener questions, 1:05:40.760 --> 1:05:45.200 a few things. Just count me in demanday as someone 1:05:45.240 --> 1:05:47.400 that's not going to believe in the Clippers for the 1:05:47.520 --> 1:05:50.840 sixth straight year. What do you mean? 1:05:51.560 --> 1:05:53.200 I mean they just what do you mean? Do they 1:05:53.280 --> 1:05:55.760 will take whatever? Like it just seems like they just 1:05:55.800 --> 1:05:58.200 take a bunch of big names so they can stay relevant. 1:05:59.040 --> 1:06:03.280 It's like they just might be about rights. 1:06:03.720 --> 1:06:09.000 Such an old team. Yeah, I mean Brooke and Kawhi 1:06:09.280 --> 1:06:12.320 and James and now and listen, CB three played all 1:06:12.360 --> 1:06:14.320 eighty two last year, so you can credit for that. 1:06:14.680 --> 1:06:16.320 But he's not an impactful player. 1:06:16.520 --> 1:06:18.360 I'd love to see him stay with Wimby if I'm 1:06:18.360 --> 1:06:18.920 being honest. 1:06:20.640 --> 1:06:23.800 Well, they have too many guards though, now yeah, because 1:06:23.840 --> 1:06:27.360 the guarded for Fox, they have Castle and they just 1:06:27.440 --> 1:06:30.920 drafted Harbor, so I don't mind him going back. It's 1:06:30.920 --> 1:06:33.640 not like this is a bad move. But it's just 1:06:33.720 --> 1:06:37.280 the same old folks whoever year like watch out for 1:06:37.360 --> 1:06:42.480 the Clippers. They're saying it again, and that's surprising to me. 1:06:42.680 --> 1:06:46.320 All right, before reminder, like rate subscribe review, some of 1:06:46.360 --> 1:06:50.080 the listeners want to know about the seventy three point shots. 1:06:50.560 --> 1:06:52.920 Uh the how many? 1:06:53.280 --> 1:06:55.440 Uh? How many do you think that was? 1:06:55.480 --> 1:06:56.960 I don't know how many it was in a role, 1:06:57.000 --> 1:06:59.680 but I just remember it was one hundred threes. I 1:06:59.720 --> 1:07:02.360 probably we missed like the first six or seven or 1:07:02.400 --> 1:07:04.760 something like that. It was like one for six or 1:07:04.760 --> 1:07:07.120 one for seven like that, and I think it finished 1:07:07.160 --> 1:07:09.760 either like eighty two or eighty four of one hundred, 1:07:10.160 --> 1:07:14.920 So I don't know, you got any was, yeah, so. 1:07:15.240 --> 1:07:20.840 You've got it. So Demanse was doing an impromptu, uh 1:07:21.160 --> 1:07:24.040 maybe against some of the rules, tryout for a junior 1:07:24.080 --> 1:07:28.840 college team that will remain nameless, and they it was 1:07:28.840 --> 1:07:31.520 supposed to just kind of be just like an interview, 1:07:31.600 --> 1:07:34.439 get to know you thing, and then they were like, hey, 1:07:34.440 --> 1:07:36.480 why don't you go out and you know, warm up 1:07:36.480 --> 1:07:38.959 a bit or whatever, and then they had you take 1:07:40.040 --> 1:07:43.439 one hundred threes twenty from each spot corner, wing, top 1:07:43.480 --> 1:07:47.360 of the key corner or wing corner right. And I 1:07:47.520 --> 1:07:54.200 was in the gym and Demonse missed six of his 1:07:54.360 --> 1:07:59.800 first seven, and I was sick, like for not for me, 1:08:00.080 --> 1:08:05.440 but I was sick for him. And then in the 1:08:05.600 --> 1:08:09.040 so he was one for seven and then in the 1:08:09.080 --> 1:08:14.360 next ninety three went eighty three of ninety three, because 1:08:14.400 --> 1:08:17.680 you finished with eighty four, and so I don't know, 1:08:18.680 --> 1:08:21.400 you know, what was your longest streak in a row 1:08:22.200 --> 1:08:24.680 of you know, without a miss I think it was 1:08:24.880 --> 1:08:27.160 probably you know, twenty something. 1:08:26.960 --> 1:08:30.080 And I just wanted to be known. Thompson was out 1:08:30.120 --> 1:08:33.760 there shooting just regular threes. This had the big. 1:08:33.560 --> 1:08:36.639 Net up like shooting the ball. 1:08:36.720 --> 1:08:39.960 Yes, it was a little extra degree difficulty. 1:08:39.479 --> 1:08:43.000 There, little extra degree. Also you were kind of, you know, 1:08:43.280 --> 1:08:47.200 thought playing for your basketball life and had missed you 1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:52.040 know what I mean, and started off shaky. It was 1:08:52.120 --> 1:08:55.760 one of the cool So you at the end you 1:08:55.840 --> 1:08:58.960 made eighty three of ninety three. And I think, if 1:08:59.000 --> 1:09:01.880 I remember correctly, I said to you when we were 1:09:01.920 --> 1:09:05.519 walking out, like at one point you made forty five 1:09:05.560 --> 1:09:08.280 of forty six, like you know what I mean once 1:09:08.360 --> 1:09:13.040 and so so I think you're probably your best seventy. 1:09:13.080 --> 1:09:15.519 If we were to grab them, you were like sixty 1:09:15.560 --> 1:09:16.920 six of seventy or something. 1:09:17.040 --> 1:09:19.880 But that makes sense. It was it was like it was. 1:09:19.960 --> 1:09:24.200 I was flustered in the beginning and then but yeah, 1:09:24.080 --> 1:09:25.560 I said, I don't know if I've ever take that 1:09:25.600 --> 1:09:30.160 many shots in a row like that was all. 1:09:28.640 --> 1:09:30.599 Right, Let's get to some listener questions quick. 1:09:31.360 --> 1:09:34.280 Eric says, last week, you said you'd add Derek Thomas 1:09:34.360 --> 1:09:37.320 to this current Chiefs team in it and add any 1:09:37.360 --> 1:09:40.919 former player situation for the Chiefs. Would you consider will Sheds, 1:09:41.439 --> 1:09:45.520 will Shields or Willie Rofe to bolster. 1:09:45.240 --> 1:09:47.640 O Willie Rope I hadn't thought about Willie Roape be 1:09:47.640 --> 1:09:50.200 pretty unbelievable. If you could just get you know, one 1:09:50.200 --> 1:09:53.000 of the greatest left tackles ever to guard Mahomes blindside, 1:09:53.000 --> 1:09:54.840 that'd be pretty great, all right. 1:09:54.960 --> 1:09:58.000 Next, Tyler asked, do you think Jayden Daniels is on 1:09:58.040 --> 1:10:00.360 a crash course to the next Mahomes. 1:10:01.640 --> 1:10:02.760 Next Mahomes too much? 1:10:04.479 --> 1:10:04.839 Homes? 1:10:06.080 --> 1:10:12.920 Well, their different stylistically and body types obviously, and Jaden's awesome, 1:10:13.040 --> 1:10:18.280 but next Mahomes too much? If yes or two, you know, 1:10:18.400 --> 1:10:21.200 he would have to either win League MVP or Super 1:10:21.200 --> 1:10:23.559 Bowl this year and then he's kind of on pace. 1:10:23.640 --> 1:10:25.360 I think that'd be very tough and maybe you could 1:10:25.360 --> 1:10:25.599 do it. 1:10:25.640 --> 1:10:29.400 Next uh Danny asked if Patrick Mahomes did not exist, 1:10:29.840 --> 1:10:32.679 which current NFL quarterback would you want on the team. 1:10:34.040 --> 1:10:37.240 I mean, Josh Allen's the second best quarterback, but I 1:10:37.360 --> 1:10:39.840 do you have to like men in black neuralizer me 1:10:39.960 --> 1:10:42.200 about you know, my history with Josh Allen. So my 1:10:42.240 --> 1:10:44.600 answer is probably Caleb because I still think Caleb is 1:10:44.600 --> 1:10:45.520 going to be a superstar. 1:10:46.680 --> 1:10:49.920 Next as she asked, what are people finally going to 1:10:49.960 --> 1:10:52.920 stop bloone things that are proportion whenever Clark's names comes up. 1:10:54.640 --> 1:10:57.240 I mean that once once they change the way social 1:10:57.320 --> 1:11:01.760 media and search engine algorithms or uh work like that. 1:11:02.080 --> 1:11:04.240 It's just you just get too much engagement. That's why. 1:11:04.880 --> 1:11:06.160 Uh all right. 1:11:06.240 --> 1:11:10.679 Next, Jeremy says, hey, Nick's speaking of labor relations. Curious 1:11:10.680 --> 1:11:14.320 to hear your thoughts and reactions to the NFL nflpa's 1:11:14.400 --> 1:11:16.800 dumpster fire the last few weeks. Or is that not 1:11:16.880 --> 1:11:18.280 allowed because of pablotory. 1:11:18.680 --> 1:11:22.240 No, it's allowed. Credit words to Pablo and Mike Florio, 1:11:22.320 --> 1:11:26.040 but most only Pablo did a truly spectacular job with 1:11:26.120 --> 1:11:30.400 that story, and they affected real change, and it was 1:11:31.360 --> 1:11:34.840 it was, you know, real journalism. And I thought it 1:11:34.880 --> 1:11:36.519 was great. I mentioned it, I talked about on the 1:11:36.560 --> 1:11:40.479 TV show. The NFLPA has got to get its act together? 1:11:41.200 --> 1:11:43.360 Is the short version of it? I I you know, 1:11:43.920 --> 1:11:47.040 I that is that story deserves way more attention than 1:11:47.120 --> 1:11:49.040 just that one line. Maybe we'll talk more about it 1:11:49.040 --> 1:11:52.559 Thursday if we have time. But it's embarrassing kind of 1:11:52.600 --> 1:11:54.880 and I'm glad Lloyd Howell resigned, and I'm glad jac 1:11:55.000 --> 1:11:57.559 tried to resigned and really good job by Pablo and Mike. 1:11:58.880 --> 1:12:02.639 Next, ass, do you think the mahomes can be the goat? 1:12:02.680 --> 1:12:05.640 With five Super Bowl wins? You already thinks Mahomes is 1:12:05.680 --> 1:12:07.760 the Yeah. 1:12:06.840 --> 1:12:09.400 No, I don't know. He's the most talented and best 1:12:09.439 --> 1:12:12.920 I've ever seen, but Brady's the goat. But yeah, I 1:12:12.960 --> 1:12:16.360 ain't that, I don't. I guess there's I think the 1:12:16.439 --> 1:12:18.240 question is does he have to get to seven for 1:12:18.320 --> 1:12:19.920 him to be considered the best ever? And no, I 1:12:19.960 --> 1:12:21.200 don't think he has to get to seven. 1:12:21.520 --> 1:12:26.679 Next it clips as when is when is tennis Corner 1:12:26.720 --> 1:12:27.240 coming back? 1:12:28.560 --> 1:12:31.160 Uh? For the US Open. I'll just be honest. I 1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:35.240 didn't watch as much Wimbledon as I have in years 1:12:35.240 --> 1:12:38.080 past because of travel, so I I couldn't really do 1:12:38.160 --> 1:12:40.200 tennis Corner, but I'll be at US Open and so 1:12:40.560 --> 1:12:42.760 it'll come back for the US Open. All right, great job. 1:12:42.800 --> 1:12:45.720 Demon's a regular podcast schedule this week. We'll be back 1:12:45.760 --> 1:12:49.000 on Thursday.
