00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: should be. Hello from Salaam.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 3: To what I think is like your favorite time of

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: the year.

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 4: What's happening? Of course? Man, man, how do you not

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 4: love March madness? Come on, now, come on, they.

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 2: Wouldn't call it madness if it wasn't a whole lot

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: of fun, that's for sure. But I got a question

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: for you. Yeah, well, I mean, look, this is a

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: sign of the times. Maybe we're a little bit too

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: cynical or whatnot. But as we get the brackets in

21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: hand and Duke is number one overall seed, a lot

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: of us are actually more interested in talking about one

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: individual Duke player who were being told is going to

24
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: play in this tournament.

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: But we'll see when we get there. He's the man.

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: He's going to be the number one overall pick if

27
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: he wants to be, and that is Cooper Flag.

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: So I did a little deep dive, not that deep

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: of a dive.

30
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: But I went into the actual money because I heard

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: you reference this the last couple of weeks with regard

32
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: to Flag and the idea that maybe he won't go

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: to the NBA and instead he'll pick three other letters nil.

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: So tell me what would you do if you were him?

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: And let us give the listeners a little bit of

36
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: an idea of what's going on. It is an estimated

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: five million per year that Flag makes through NIL as

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: a member of the Duke Blue Devils, and it is

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: projected that next year's number one pick in the NBA Draft,

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: we'll get a four year rookie contract that will land

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: him around sixty million guaranteed. To me, this is a

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: very very easy choice, and I see this as fake

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: leverage that's being thrown out there.

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: But what would you do? Well?

45
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: The biggest caveat is is he going to be able

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: to play this March madness? Is he going to be

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: healthy enough to be a part of a team that

48
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 4: has a chance to win the National Championship or at

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 4: least play in the National Championship. It's been his dream

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: to play in March Madness and to do this. So

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: if he's not, if he's not healthy and able to

52
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: play like he's dreamt about. And that amount of six

53
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: million to be at Duke this year, I mean that

54
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: amount goes up, right, So now you're landing somewhere in

55
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: between eight ten million dollars to come back to school.

56
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: As well as that final year of the shoe deal

57
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: you have, which allows you now to be a free

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: agent as a rookie first round draft pick in the

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 4: NBA next year, not this season, next season, which also

60
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: can equate to one hundred two hundred million dollars in

61
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: terms of a shoe deal. So when you're weighing those

62
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 4: type of options, yeah, that four year guarantee sixty million

63
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 4: seems like, oh, he's gonna take that. But in reality,

64
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: you know, once once you're not worried about money, not

65
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: saying this kid ever was, but once you're not like,

66
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: I gotta go now, I have to help whoever I

67
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: have to help, or I have to whenever that's not

68
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: the case, then decisions aren't as clear cut as one

69
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: would think.

70
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: Now.

71
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: I you know, in the past, kids would leave because

72
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: I got to look, I gotta go now, this will

73
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: help my family and they want to start my journey.

74
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 4: But in Cooper Flag's case, he already reclassified, so you

75
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: know he would he would be doing another year at Duke. Now,

76
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: all it takes is one or two or more of

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 4: his freshman buddies who aren't projected as high to want

78
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: to come back and run it back if they don't

79
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: do what they're supposed to do this year. And that decision,

80
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 4: to me is easy. I'm staying. I'll put myself in

81
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 4: a better situation moving forward, and I'm gonna make a

82
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: bunch of money and I'm still gonna be a top

83
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 4: draft pick.

84
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

85
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean unless he tears this or breaks that

86
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: or snaps this over here, or if life doesn't go

87
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: in insurance policies, yeah, I understand that, But life's not

88
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: just about It's funny that you're saying it's not just

89
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: about the money, and I'd say that here too, Like,

90
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: if it's just about the money, then okay, insurance policy

91
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: this that or the other.

92
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: And look, I have no idea what his dreams are.

93
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: We're told that his dreams are to play in March

94
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: Madness and play in a final four. Well, let me

95
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: just give this example. I was actually in the building

96
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: when the USC marching band and all of this song

97
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: girls lined the halls of Heritage Hall on the campus

98
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: of the University of Southern California. So that a guy

99
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: who was projected to be the number one overall pick

100
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 2: in his sport but just didn't quite have things sort

101
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: of layout the way that he wanted them to at

102
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: the end of his college career, so he decided, you

103
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: know what, never mind, I'm coming back. And then I

104
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: watched the exact same thing happen again in the exact

105
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: same room. This is both Matt Lionert and Matt Barkley.

106
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: Both of these players made this decision, and both of them.

107
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: I bet if you sat there over a cup of

108
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: coffee with them today, we'll tell you they made the

109
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: wrong choice.

110
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: Now let me just jump in before I continue. Yep,

111
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: these are the caveat is. These are two different sports, yes,

112
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: and they have the dynamic within These two sports are

113
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 4: completely different, completely different.

114
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 5: And so the value Cooper.

115
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: Has for you know, the basketball and Duke University and

116
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 4: the NBA.

117
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 5: Is is it's.

118
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 4: Not like football. It's not like football. So Cooper Flag,

119
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: you know, being a dynamic American born, tall, rangy athletic,

120
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: you know, phenom that doesn't change based on his year

121
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: are two in college? It doesn't It doesn't change. No,

122
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: those don't change. But he's been everything.

123
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: But a bunch of things that are out of your

124
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: control can change.

125
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: And by the way, this Chase say, oh we'll go

126
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: to the final four, how do you know, how do

127
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: you know? Like everything could fall apart for Duke next Well,

128
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: well we can have a bad season.

129
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 5: Well yeah they could.

130
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: But if you get you know, they got three dynamic

131
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 4: freshmen there, and if all three of those are two

132
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: of those guys decide to stay.

133
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 5: You don't think Cooper Flag wants to stay with his boys.

134
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

135
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: Everybody's eating everybody's eating the look the NBA what NIL

136
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 4: is done. And some people don't like nil, some people

137
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: do like innal. But when the NIL has done has

138
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: slowed down the urgency to get to the NBA. And

139
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: I like that because what we're seeing now is older

140
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 4: players coming into the league ready to actually play. They're

141
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: really they're actually, how many first round draft picks, our

142
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: first picks in the draft, our first five picks in

143
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: the draft have we never.

144
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: Heard from you? I'm with you on that.

145
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: But here's something else that it pains me to bring

146
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: to the conversation. Do you know how many people have

147
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: heard of Cooper Flag but don't even know what he

148
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: looks like?

149
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't a lot.

150
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: And the reason is is this country doesn't really care

151
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: about college basketball.

152
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 5: Oh they don't.

153
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: They don't until today.

154
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: That's it, yes, Which then I would take the sentence

155
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: in another direction, which is this country just flat out

156
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: doesn't care about college basketball. They care gambling, and therefore

157
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: the show up today. We show up today because we go.

158
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: To the internet.

159
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: We here we go, We're gonna print, make sure it

160
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: fits to one page. There you go, and we're gonna

161
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: read now for four days and talk to all of

162
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: our friends to find out who that twelve seed is

163
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: that might be to five because nobody knows a damn thing.

164
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: And again I don't. Really it doesn't bother me. Whatever

165
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: Cooper flags interests and dreams are, he gets to chase those.

166
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: But if you'd actually like to make an imprint, in basketball.

167
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: If you'd actually like to be marketable, if you'd like

168
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: to be a name, if you'd like to be a celebrity,

169
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: better go to the NBA.

170
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 5: But what you dotball, What if that's not the driving force?

171
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: Maybe it's not.

172
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm saying, and I think that's really

173
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: the different dynamic that's happened in college sports.

174
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 5: Now.

175
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: It's not always about that now back you know, not

176
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 4: too long ago, it was literally like I have to go.

177
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make a name for myself. Like every number one,

178
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: everybody doesn't get a chance to make a name for

179
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: himself and in the NBA, right.

180
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: But I mean this, this guy would even if he

181
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: didn't do well.

182
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I think I think depending on where he goes, right,

183
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 4: if he goes to the Wizards, we won't be ever

184
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: talking about Cooper flag.

185
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what the entry point is, and

186
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what the draft is.

187
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 5: You know the draft lottery, and know we'll we'll get

188
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 5: that soon enough.

189
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: That team's always going to be a bad team.

190
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is it's it's a different it's different.

191
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: If it's San Antonio, right, it's okay, Antonio and you

192
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: have dearon Fox and victim winm Mignama hopefully after the

193
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: blood clot and now you're Cooper Flag. Now you're like, oh, no,

194
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: I'm coming out, because that's a different level of Oh

195
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 4: I'm coming out. But you can really go to teams

196
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: and be swallowed up by no matter if you're having

197
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: a tremendous year, so much so even Bnchero right in Orlando,

198
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: this kid is unbelievable. Like if you look at his

199
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: numbers and look how he plays, and most people got

200
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 4: a chance to see that last year in the playoffs.

201
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: He's been hurt a little bit this year, but when

202
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: you look at him, it's like, oh, this kid can go.

203
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: But the majority of the world doesn't know that because

204
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 4: he's in Orlando, and that means something, right, that really

205
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: means something. The money is the money now. Before it

206
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: was like I'll play wherever the money. You know you're

207
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 4: making life changing money. You're making that prior to even

208
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: getting into the league. Now, so now the parameters have

209
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 4: changed a little bit. The desire, the want to and

210
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: the being okay with being on a team where you

211
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 4: know you may be in obscurity.

212
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 5: Like the markets matter.

213
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 4: The markets matter in professional sports, especially in basketball, because

214
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: you know, basketball is more of a global thing now

215
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: so much so in this country over football football. You

216
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: can play on any teams. You're gonna be where you

217
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: need to be on any team in football. In basketball,

218
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: you can't get swallowed up by obscurity if you go

219
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 4: to the wrong team, no matter how talented you are.

220
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 4: Look how good Cap Cunningham is. He's been that good

221
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 4: since he's been in the league. But he's been wallowing

222
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 4: in Detroit for the last three years.

223
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now they're good, and I would argue he's

224
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: gotten a lot better. Actually, I would argue that he did.

225
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: Not the player that you're seeing right now. That is

226
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: not He's always been good, but he was not this

227
00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: two years ago.

228
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: No, no, no, But what I'm saying is if Kate Cunningham

229
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: had gone to I don't know, New York had gone

230
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: to Sure, I don't know.

231
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 5: Right like this, I think Kate cunning Ham is, But

232
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 5: that exists in football too.

233
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: How How did Sam Donald almost win the m v

234
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: P this year?

235
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: So it does he got drafted and then went to

236
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: another place and both places were bad programs.

237
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we talked about Sam Donald when he was bad,

238
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: and with the Jets, no one speaks about these players

239
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: in the NBA, no matter how good they were, no

240
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: one talks about him. We talked about Sam Donald, we

241
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 4: talked about Geno, We talked about all first round quarterbacks

242
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: and nauseum, whether they're good or bad. So we yes,

243
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: we do know they They are recognizable. They are spoken

244
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: about every single week of every single year. And so

245
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: it's a completely different story when it comes to NBA.

246
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 4: So this whole thing of going to the NBA and

247
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: it's my time and all of that, it doesn't necessarily

248
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 4: translate into I'm leaving college.

249
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: I can't argue with you on that, but I can

250
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: say you can promise yourself that no one's going to

251
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: talk about you if you stay in college basketball.

252
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's like it's like Cooper Flag. I don't

253
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: know if that's high on his list.

254
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe No.

255
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's the end all be all, is what

256
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: he wants. I get that. I get that, all right.

257
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of the brackets coming up next, I want to

289
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: about the bracket challenge, and I don't want anybody to

290
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: get this next point twisted. I fill out a bracket.

291
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: I will probably fill out multiple brackets. This is a

292
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: ton of fun. I have fun with it every year.

293
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: Everybody has fun with it every year except one year

294
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: I chose not to, and so I always.

295
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: End up sharing this story. First off, do you fill

296
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: out a bracket?

297
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: No, you don't know.

298
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: So you're going to know where I'm.

299
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: Coming from on this. You gonna know exactly where I'm

300
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: coming from on this. I know what it sounds like

301
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: when I say this, but y'all would enjoy the tournament

302
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: a lot more if you didn't fill out a bracket. Agree,

303
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: It's just a fact. I've done it. I've tried it.

304
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: I don't know why I did it the year that

305
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: I did it, but I did it just to try it.

306
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: And that's why I say brackets are like chocolate chip cookies.

307
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: You know, damn well they're bad for you, but you

308
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: can't not have one or a bunch or whatever. They're

309
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: just sitting there staring at you, and every time you

310
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 2: walk by, I'm sitting there in the kitchen. Just have

311
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: a cookie. It's the same thing that happens over the

312
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: next four days. You're gonna get a flurry of emails

313
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: in the next twelve hours. Many of them will be

314
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: from friends that you haven't talked to in a decade,

315
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 2: but they show up every March with their bracket pool

316
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, what's twenty more dollars? Let me

317
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: fill out another one, and let me see if I

318
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: can cast a wide net. Let's get four or five

319
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: different brackets with four five different champions, and this one

320
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: I'll do a lot of upsets, and this one I'll

321
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: go kind of chalky, and the tournament ends up being

322
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: all about that. And the bottom line is is the

323
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: chances are really high that as we sit here right

324
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: now on Sunday, March sixteenth, that by Sunday, March twenty third,

325
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: that thing you fill out is gonna be all messed up.

326
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: When you and I get back together to talk again

327
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: next Sunday night. Oh yeah, it gonna be all messed up.

328
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: Five percent of all the brags will be over. Oh

329
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: and what happens is people then head for the hills.

330
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: They're like, Okay, doesn't matter anymore. Right, we got it right.

331
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs are right around the corner. Major League Baseball

332
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: opening day. Ah, my bracket is busted, as opposed to

333
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: what we do in every other sport, which is the

334
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: closer we get to a champion, the more excited we get.

335
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 2: But have you noticed this. I don't know anyone who

336
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: goes to Vegas for Final Four weekend. No, I know

337
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: hundreds of people who are going to Vegas next weekend

338
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: because it's the only sporting event in the world that

339
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: seemingly gets worse as it goes. Ye.

340
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: You spend that would Friday, Saturday, Sunday locked in.

341
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: Yep, because you wake up and you're like, I'm gonna

342
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: go get me a bloody Mary and get over to

343
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: the sports market the game exactly, And so there's nothing

344
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 2: you can do about that. The girth of the number

345
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: of games is what it is, and I understand that,

346
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: but I'm telling y'all take it from two people who

347
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: tried this.

348
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: That bracket.

349
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: That bracket, that's the thing that gets in the way

350
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: of you watching this the same way you'd watch any

351
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: other sport.

352
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does because it really accentuates your rooting interest, right,

353
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 4: and so for me, I'm looking for good basketball. I

354
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 4: love the tournament because you get to see teams you

355
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 4: would have never seen play, and then you get to

356
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: see those teams you would have never seen play play

357
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 4: actually really good basketball. Team basketball, a lot of older teams, majors,

358
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 4: small conference teams who can compete at a very high

359
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 4: level because you know, teams have been playing.

360
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 5: Together for a while.

361
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: They don't have a lot of five star, four star recruits,

362
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 4: blue chips, any of that. You know, it's literally we've

363
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: been together grinding. This is our moment. We won our

364
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: conference championship. This is our chance. And I love that

365
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 4: aspect of March madness because anything is possible. Use one game.

366
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: You got to figure it out one game. Somebody can

367
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 4: be hot and somebody can be cold, right, ask Steph

368
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: asks Wally's Herbie, right, like like one guy can take

369
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 4: over a tournament. I love that. Ask mccullu, C J McCullum, YEP, Carmelo.

370
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 4: Anthony Carmelo was the name I was going to you

371
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: know out next. Yep, all of that, like what will

372
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 4: Lebron James have been in the tournament and.

373
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Maybe these are the days gone by, but that taking

374
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: over of a tournament, it can make you man, you

375
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: want I mean the name that will forever stand out

376
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: for me it was Dwayne Wade. Yep, nobody had heard

377
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 2: of Dwayne Wade. Nobody Marquette, Wisconsin. Well, I'll do you

378
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: one more recent. We'll go John Morant.

379
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything that entire year was about the trio of

380
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 4: those Duke freshmen RJ. Barrett cam Reddish, Zion Williams. And

381
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 4: all of a sudden you look up and there's this

382
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 4: kid named John Morant at Murray State going ham like highlights,

383
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: and so everybody really was like, oh wait a minute.

384
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 4: And I remember, like it was yesterday. As we got

385
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 4: into that tournament, you hear you heard the murmuring like, hey,

386
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 4: would you would you take job or would you take

387
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 4: would you would you take Zion? Or would you take

388
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: this kid John morn right? And so now we start

389
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 4: talking about it and I don't know, I mean, I

390
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 4: might take you know, joh, he has a higher upside,

391
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: Zion is heavy and all that jumping, and we know

392
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 4: all this is this could play out and which is

393
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 4: actually playing out. But that's that started in the tournament.

394
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 4: I remember talking to uh to Jaw's uncle and his

395
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 4: father and they were saying they remember watching the tournament

396
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: and understanding that life was about to change. They were

397
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 4: like they were talking about the change that was happening,

398
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: like in real time.

399
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 5: You know.

400
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 4: I don't want to say where, you know, his uncle worked,

401
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 4: but he was remember being at work and looking and

402
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 4: his boss came in, like, uh no, not many people

403
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: knew that was his nephew, and his boss came in,

404
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 4: was like things about to change, huh right, like alluding

405
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 4: to something like that, you know, but that was because

406
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 4: of the tournament.

407
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 5: And that's exciting to me.

408
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it.

409
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: Although I mean, if you want to be real aphroim,

410
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: you don't have to wait for the tournament to watch

411
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: an individual walk into a room and take over.

412
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 5: Talk about it.

413
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: You and I have it happened three times a Sunday

414
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the hour.

415
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: It's exactly what Steve Desager does. Watch this.

416
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 7: Hello, gentlemen, it is so good to talk March madness

417
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 7: with you. And if you're talking tournament runs, let's not

418
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 7: forget Loyalamaramount with Bo Kimball at thirty five points a

419
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 7: game and the incredible story that was in nineteen ninety.

420
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 7: I'm glad you mentioned Steph Curry with Davidson, David Robinson,

421
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 7: Navy was making a Larry byrd to the final with

422
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 7: Indiana State. How about also Glenn Rice winning a title

423
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 7: with Michigan or the Danny Manning unlikely title with Kansas. No,

424
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 7: you know, San Diego States as Techs were not left

425
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 7: on the cutting room floor. They were selected for this.

426
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 2: Ncay better watch him this weekend though, this time.

427
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 4: Just saying no, no, no, we got Tuesday. We got Tuesday.

428
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: North Carolina. We we're gonna We're gonna play. We gotta

429
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 4: don't worry Wed. I'm just saying we got.

430
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: Tuesday. A few years you've wanted to travel late in

431
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: the tournament. I don't. I don't think that's going to

432
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: happen this time. Just a prediction.

433
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 8: Carolina.

434
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 7: Apparently the last team in San Diego State opened it

435
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 7: season beating you see San Diego, which it turned.

436
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 8: Out was the dominant team in the Big West.

437
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 7: Conference, and in fact, you see San Diego's men's and

438
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 7: women's programs have each made the NCAA Tournament this year.

439
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 7: This is a first because this is their first year

440
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 7: of eligibility and they're each in So as we speak

441
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 7: this hour, the women's.

442
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 8: Field is being announced.

443
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 7: You see, San Diego is in a playing game with

444
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 7: the winner between UCSD and Southern You the winner then

445
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 7: going to face one seed UCLA. By the way, South

446
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 7: Carolina is one seed Texas as well, but the entire

447
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 7: men's field has been named, and Auburn is the number

448
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 7: one overall seed for the NCAA men's tourney. Duke is

449
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 7: also a one seed, as are Houston and Florida. Florida

450
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 7: Gators won the SEC tournament today beating Tennessee.

451
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 5: Yes, who beat Houston earlier this year.

452
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 7: Team, if you could score low, and I know it

453
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 7: was it was overtime. If you could score low and

454
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 7: be even with that great Houston defense, you got a shot.

455
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 7: And that's San Diego State's game, and it has been

456
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 7: for seemingly decater. Houston Cougars, by the way, I have

457
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 7: to reiterate, are a one seed. Chance to make another run.

458
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 7: It's another thirty win season for them. Michigan won the

459
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 7: Big Ten Tourney beating Wisconsin. Memphis was a conference tournament

460
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 7: champion today VCU and Yale as well.

461
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 8: So how are things going to be going?

462
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: Well?

463
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 7: San Diego State North Carolina one of the playing games

Speaker 7: so far. The Clippers lead late third against the Hornets

486
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 7: eighty nine fifty eight, so it looks like the Hornets

487
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 7: record will go to seventeen and fifty this year. The

488
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,560

Speaker 7: The Major League Baseball season actually starts this week with

494
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,920

498
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,240

499
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 7: opener in Japan, due to illness. He missed both exhibitions

500
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 7: there this weekend. Apparently was sick even before the flight over.

501
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 7: The Dodgers won their first exhibition this weekend in Japan.

502

503
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 7: Shoheo Tani homerd and a five run third at a

504
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 7: La hit three long balls in that third. But late

505
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 7: Saturday night, the Dodgers were shut out by the Haunchin

506
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 7: Tigers three nothing, a team that had shut out the

507
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 7: Cubs three nothing the night before, also at the Tokyo Dome.

508
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 7: And I must pass along this final baseball note. Some

509
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 7: fans might remember the name of Joey Gallo, over two

510
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 7: hundred home runs in his ten years, but a career

511
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 7: batting average of one ninety four. The White Sox have

512
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 7: released Joey Gallo, who barely had a hit at spring

513
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 7: training this year. And he says he will now try

514
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 7: pitching back to you.

515
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: Well, maybe he's just doing the wrong thing the whole time, Like,

516
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: who knows can't hit?

517
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 7: So bitch, it's worked both ways? Can I Jansen was

518
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 7: a catcher.

519
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 3: Remember when Rick ain't healed? Yeah, he was like.

520
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: Count couldn't throw the ball. Straight anymore, So we went

521
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: out to hit for a little while. Who knows, maybe

522
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: he'll be amazing. All right, Thanks Steve Tyreck dot com Studios.

Speaker 2: glad you're with us.

534
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: That Laker wind that.

535
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 5: Steve mentioned was not a small one. It no, we

536
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 5: need it dead.

537
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 3: Did you see all all right over there? Man, Tom Petty.

538
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: Tom Petty had a song that was about the Lakers

539
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: last week and a half or so, free.

540
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: Falling, m.

541
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 5: Free falling exactly.

542
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

543
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: Now, I wonder because people were like, oh, this Lebron injury,

544
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: isn't it perfectly timed because he's actually just resting for

545
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs. When they said that the Lakers were the

546
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: two seed, now they're the five seed. I understand there's

547
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: still only a game out of the two seed. Things

548
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: have gotten a little tight there in the race for

549
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: the West outside of Oklahoma City. But with the way

550
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: the Warriors and Wolves are playing, both have seven game

551
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: win streaks, and the Wolves will have an eight game

552
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: win streak here in about an hour. Like, it's not

553
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: out of the question that the Lakers end up in

554
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: the playing tournament from Yeah, it's not.

555
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 5: But we're not gonna talk about that. That's foolishness. Well,

556
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 5: what'll we talk about that, right?

557
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 3: Because it's fun and interesting.

558
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 5: That's not interesting.

559
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: The Lakers are always fun and interesting. Lebron.

560
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 4: But look, but what I would say is it wasn't

561
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 4: so much the Lebron injury that really had them on

562
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: the slide.

563
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 5: It was the others.

564
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 4: It was a lot bit difficult to win at a

565
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 4: high clip in the NBA with three starters out. That's

566
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: just the reality of the situation. And so Lebron being

567
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 4: the third starter that was out, that's a tough load

568
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 4: to carry, especially given the back to backs, the travel,

569
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 4: the schedule that was that was tough to combat. Now

570
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 4: we got those guys backs as you saw today, Jackson

571
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 4: Hayes had nineteen points, twelve rebounds. You know, Finny Smith

572
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: is back, like those type of things. Those were the

573
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 4: things that were really hurting the Lakers. Is just the

574
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 4: lack of depth. Yeah, and and and firepower. So you

575
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 4: put the onus on two players in Austin Reeves and

576
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 4: on a Litkadante, and that's a lot to carry.

577
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 5: That's a lot to carry.

578
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 4: Now, getting those guys back and having them more, uh,

579
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 4: you know, a deeper roster and guys being able to

580
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 4: contribute like they did today, things will change.

581
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 9: Now.

582
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 4: Rory is coming back, which is another big piece of that.

583
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

584
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: And so we're excited to have these guys back, these

585
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 4: pieces back because they obviously have a pretty deep bench.

586
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 4: But when you make people play out of their comfort

587
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 4: zone and ask them to do things they may not

588
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 4: be comfortable with, it's it's always tough. But you know,

589
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 4: I got every faith and in them coming back. This

590
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: is good rate rest. This is good rest for Lebron.

591
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: He gets healthy, comes back for the playoffs or at

592
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 4: the end of the season and not the playoffs. End

593
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 4: of the season, gets gets five games under his belt,

594
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 4: gets gets back into it and then we hit the

595
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 4: ground roads.

596
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 2: He's sitting out that portion of the schedule, that that

597
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: that he was complaining about on Twitter a couple of

598
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: weeks ago, you know as kwinky dink.

599
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 5: Well, you know.

600
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: You think he's hurt, hurt or like just kind.

601
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 5: Of no, No, I think he tweets is growing weak, right,

602
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 5: I think it's tweaked.

603
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: But why exacerbated by going out there? And you know,

604
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 4: I mean they did. They had the number one defense

605
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 4: since you know, January fifteenth in the league. They were

606
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 4: playing excellent basketball. So this is what the team can

607
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 4: be and will be in the playoffs. But you need

608
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 4: everybody at full power able to do it.

609
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 3: Look at that schedule.

610
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: Man got to play again to the mall, got another

611
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 2: back to back in the middle of the week. He

612
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: got a road trip that's going to take it to

613
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: Memphis in Indiana. He got Houston on the schedule twice,

614
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: Golden State, Oklahoma City, both on the road.

615
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: Oh, there's a lot out there. There's a lot of

616
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: work to do.

617
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 5: It's a lot of work to do. It's fine, it's fast,

618
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 5: of all, it's a lot of work.

619
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 4: Just look long as we have those pieces back that

620
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 4: we didn't have that the last two weeks. That makes

621
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 4: all the difference in the world, or or.

622
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 3: Or you're just playing the Sons.

623
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 4: I mean no, it's just actually having a viable big

624
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 4: to throw to. I mean that matters. It didn't matter

625
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 4: who they were playing, the fact that you can actually

626
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 4: lob the ball to someone who can finish.

627
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: I mean, Sons like gave up like three weeks.

628
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 4: Ago, they had no bigs at all. No, I know,

629
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 4: so having that back, having Darren Finney Smith, a three

630
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 4: and D guy, a wing defender back that helps. Now

631
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: you can bring Vanderbilt off the bench as a three

632
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 4: and D guy. Now the rotations get back to being

633
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 4: more regular like they were prior to all of the injuries.

634
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 2: No, I'm I'm I'm sure everything will be fine. I'm

635
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: sure three things gonna be fine.

636
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 3: No, I I really I'm sure.

637
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 2: I don't see. I don't see anything going wrong. I

638
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: really don't. I don't see. I don't see how anything

639
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: could go wrong. But anyway, uh with you from salam

640
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: Mark Will, there's a ton of NFL free agency stuff

641
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 2: to get to. There's one team I really want to

642
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: ask you about. And then coming up at the top

643
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: of the hour, one of my favorite press conferences of

644
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: the year happened last night.

645
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: So we'll do all of that around the Bend on

646
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio.

647
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Radio.

648
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Fox Sports Radio Team Glad you're with us ty

649
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: rack dot Com Studios from salam Mark Willard. Top of

650
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: the hour, an NBA coach gets loose, and those are

651
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 2: my favorite.

652
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 3: Those are my absolute favorite.

653
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 2: When they get loose after the game and the raw

654
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: emotion starts flying and tables start getting pounded.

655
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about.

656
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 2: So we're gonna play this for you, talking out a

657
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: little bit here at the at the top of the hour.

658
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: On this one, though, I come from a place of curiosity.

659
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: I really I don't want to lead you to water

660
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: on this one. I just want your straight reaction. What

661
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 2: are the forty nine ers doing?

662
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 5: What heart? What aren't they what do they do?

663
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: Can you can you explain?

664
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 6: No?

665
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 5: No, I can't, I really can't. I don't know.

666
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 4: It's you know, you expect so much from a well

667
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 4: run organization like the Niners and what they've been able

668
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 4: to do in the last five, six, you know years,

669
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 4: and then you have a you know, off season like

670
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 4: you have now, and it's kind of reminiscent of.

671
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 5: I don't know Dallas or somebody like that.

672
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, what I'm.

673
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: Struggling to figure out is like what it is they're

674
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 2: trying to achieve. Like, I think it's a very very

675
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: good front office. It has been for a while. I

676
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: want to give them the benefit of the doubt. For

677
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: those of you who haven't been following, it's just been

678
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: a steady stream of veteran players out the door, replaced

679
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: with very few. And John Lynch had said at the combine, Look,

680
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 2: we've been one of the number one, two or three

681
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: cash out teams. That doesn't mean salary cap stuff. That

682
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: means signing bonus is actual cash paid by the owner.

683
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: They've been one of the top teams with that for

684
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 2: the last handful of years, and now it's time to reset.

685
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 3: And get a little younger.

686
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 2: So to a degree, I guess it's telegraphed, but everybody

687
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: listened to that, and no one thought it was going

688
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: to be this intense. I mean, they've set themselves up

689
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: to where it's like you need to go find six

690
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: or seven starters in the draft. You can't do that,

691
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: You certainly can't expect to do that.

692
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 5: No, So yeah, go ahead.

693
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know like it just if

694
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: the goal is to win, I don't quite understand what's happening.

695
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: Well, you know, everybody's everybody's idea of how to win

696
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 4: is different. I can see how something like this begins

697
00:38:53,200 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 4: to happen because, let's be honest, they've been in position

698
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 4: to where they have had the teams, they've paid the money,

699
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 4: and they don't have anything to show forward except for

700
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 4: a couple of NFC Championship rings, and so that could

701
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 4: can you continue to do the same things? Can you

702
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 4: continue to forge the same path and expect a different result?

703
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 4: And I think this year, with the injuries and how

704
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 4: they ended up, it was a hard reset for them.

705
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 4: I think that really Now, if they would have made

706
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 4: a deep playoff run again, you know, I don't know, honestly,

707
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what hurts more making a deep playoff

708
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 4: run again and not winning the super Bowl or not

709
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 4: getting to the playoffs.

710
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: Oh well, I could tell you one's a lot more

711
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 3: boring than the other one, right, which is what is right? Yeah?

712
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 3: All right, Well let's get to this press conference. We

713
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: want to play next.

714
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

715
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 3: There's a reason.

716
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: There's a phrase out there called keep it Real that

717
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 2: everybody likes and everybody thinks applies to them.

718
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: Everybody thinks they keep it real. However, sports leagues.

719
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: For a while now have not been allowing their participants

720
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: to keep it real. Let's see if they do this time.

721
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 2: We'll let you hear what we're talking about. In just

722
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 2: a moment, we're broadcasting live from the ti rag dot

Speaker 3: Ti rack dot com. The way tire buying should be

727
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: look a from Shay Gilgess.

728
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 2: Alexander is not the only NBA scorer who does, shall

729
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 2: we say, a good job of making certain officials think

730
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: things that didn't happen happen. Yeah, like, you're not the

731
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 2: only one, and in fact, there might be more of

732
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 2: those than than the opposite, the ones who love to

733
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: do the snap head back where nobody even said that's

734
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 2: the worst, that's the absolute worst. And the Lebron but yes,

735
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 2: James Lebron, Yeah, I think James is probably the poster

736
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: for it. But anyway that happens it is in a

737
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 2: way part of basketball. It's part of the culture. It's

738
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: you're not going to get around that. But with that

739
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 2: being part of the game, here's what I don't understand

740
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 2: in terms of why it's not a part of the game.

741
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 2: Why can a coach or a player not after the

742
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 2: game keep it real? Why are they not allowed to

743
00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: say what they think and feel? Should be encouraged, provided

744
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: that it does not a get personal like Anthony Edwards

745
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: did a number of weeks back, and b provided that

746
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: it is not seemingly accusing the NBA of unsavory dealings.

747
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: How about that, right, Tim Donaghy sort of stuff.

748
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: If you're insinuating that, I'm going to understand why the

749
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 2: NBA is going to come down on you with a fine.

750
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,959
Speaker 2: But take a listen to what happened last night after

751
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: the Detroit Pistons, which is a young and good up

752
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: and coming team in the East, took on the best

753
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 2: team in the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder. They had

754
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 2: a hell of a battle. The Thunder end up coming

755
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: out on top. The best player for the Pistons, Cade Cunningham,

756
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 2: got thrown out with a rat tat technical double technical.

757
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: It was that fast on and we can talk about

758
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 2: that separately too, because I don't really understand throwing out

759
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 2: the best players in the game just because you don't

760
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 2: like what they're saying to you during a timeout. That's

761
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: a little wild to me. But let's focus on the

762
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 2: Pistons head coach JB. Bickerstaff, who after the game unleashed

763
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 2: this at his press conference.

764
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 10: I'm disgusted by the way that game was officiated. The

765
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 10: level of disrespect was above and beyond. They have a

766
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 10: guy fall down and trip on his own teammates foot,

767
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 10: they review us for a hostile act. They throw an

768
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 10: elbow to our chest neck area. I asked for him,

769
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 10: at least take a look at it, right, Just show

770
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 10: us the respect to take a look at Okay, no

771
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 10: one would take a look at it. Okay, the disrespect

772
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 10: has gone far enough, and I'm not going to allow

773
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 10: our guys to be treated the way that they were

774
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 10: treated tonight.

775
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 5: Hey.

776
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 10: I tried to have a conversation with official. The official

777
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 10: was arguing with Mark. I say his name one time

778
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 10: and he screams at me.

779
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 6: And tells me that's an enough.

780
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 3: Right.

781
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 10: We understand that we play a style of the ball

782
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 10: that's physical, it's on the edge, right. I coach my

783
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 10: ass off with the passionate way I'm into the game.

784
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 10: Our players are into the games. We understand that, right.

785
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 10: But we deserve a level of respect because we're competing

786
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 10: our tails off and bringing something positive to this league.

787
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: Right.

788
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 10: We're growing young players, Our young players are competing.

789
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 5: Their tail off.

790
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 10: The least that they could do is get the same

791
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 10: respect that everybody else in this league gets, and get

792
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 10: referee the same way that everybody.

793
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 5: Else in this league gets.

794
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 6: And enough is enough of it.

795
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 5: And what you saw tonight was disgusting.

796
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 10: It was a disgusting display of disrespect towards our guys

797
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 10: and what we're trying to do.

798
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 5: And then he walked off with your chest.

799
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 3: He sure did.

800
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: Now, I haven't even seen if there's been a fine,

801
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 2: Probably not this quickly, but I'm pretty sure there will

802
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: be one.

803
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 3: And before it even happens, I'd like to know why, why,

804
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 3: what's wrong with that? I?

805
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 2: In fact, I heard him protect officials in there, because

806
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: he started to talk about specific interactions, but he never

807
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 2: named him, No, never named the ref. So we didn't

808
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: sell anybody out. We didn't send him down the river,

809
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 2: and we did not insinuate that something nefarious was taking place.

810
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 2: We simply said, this is a bunch of crap and

811
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 2: I don't like it. What's wrong with that?

812
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 5: I don't think anything's wrong with it.

813
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: I can guarantee you he's gonna get fined.

814
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, lot, Yeah, it's going to cost. It's going

815
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 5: to cost. But he knew that coming into it.

816
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 4: Of course, you did see the thing with coaching and referees,

817
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 4: and it's different on every level, especially the NBA. But

818
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 4: as a coach of nine ten year olds, eleven and

819
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 4: twelve year olds, I've informed my team not.

820
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 5: To speak to the referees.

821
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 9: That's a good idea. Don't talk to the refs. I

822
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 9: told my parents, don't talk to the rest, right, that's

823
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 9: my job, and I will go defend my players. I

824
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 9: will walk onto the court and I will walk over

825
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 9: to the referees and I will defend my players during

826
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 9: the time.

827
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 4: Out of course, and that's what coaches do. You're supposed

828
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 4: to take one on the chin for your players because

829
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 4: then they know you got their back. If you don't,

830
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 4: they'll feel like they have to take things into their

831
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 4: own hands. Now, like I said, it's different than the

832
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 4: NBA and college level and so on and so forth.

833
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 4: But for me, I understand what that is. I've been

834
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 4: a part of games where ref looked at me and said,

835
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 4: I'm not giving you that call.

836
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 5: Your kids are too good? What does that mean?

837
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 4: Excuse me because I've coached and taught my kids to

838
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 4: not travel.

839
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 5: Are double dribble? You're not going to call it on

840
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 5: the opposing team.

841
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 4: That that's that's what It almost had me walking away

842
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 4: from coaching because it became about me and not the kids.

843
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 4: When when referees allow kids to be more physical with

844
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 4: our kids, with my with my players, I have to

845
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 4: answer to them after the game. Why aren't they calling

846
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 4: the fouls?

847
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 3: Why this?

848
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 5: Why that?

849
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 4: So I need to talk to the I need to understand,

850
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 4: like what's going on. You can't you you can't be

851
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 4: subjective or objective when you're making these calls.

852
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 3: You call.

853
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 4: If it's a travel, called the travel. I implore you

854
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 4: to call it on my kids because that's how they learn.

855
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 4: If it's double dribble, then called double drible, because that's

856
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 4: how they learn. If they step over the line on

857
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 4: the free throw, then call it because we practice it.

858
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 5: So you can't decide.

859
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 4: Because you know how well, my kids are coached and

860
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 4: we've won plenty of championships over where I coach. That

861
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 4: you're going to now decide how you're going to ref

862
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 4: a basketball game.

863
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 5: That's that.

864
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 4: That sounds crazy to me. So I understand what jab biggerstad.

865
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 4: I know, I understand where he's coming from because you

866
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 4: can see it happening for whatever reason. I don't know

867
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 4: what the reason is. He doesn't know what the reason is,

868
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 4: but you can see it happening, and you must address it.

869
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 4: You must address it because now his team has heard

870
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 4: him address it, his team will understand the fine he's

871
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 4: willing to pay for them. Now it's us against them mentality,

872
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 4: which bowes well for teams, right, don't let them be

873
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 4: the reason.

874
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 5: As a coaching point moving forward.

875
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: I think that part all makes sense. The question I

876
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: still have is what precisely is it that the NBA

877
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 2: is worried about when something like that is said to

878
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 2: where they have to deem it illegal and then fine

879
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 2: in a hefty manner. Whoever it was that let loose

880
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 2: in such a way that I don't I don't understand that.

881
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 3: I don't.

882
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 2: I don't know why that protection even exists, you know,

883
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 2: like in an odd way, Ephraim, this is attached for

884
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 2: me to the same thing that you and I said

885
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 2: about this Lebron James stephen A. Smith thing last week.

886
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what are you all so worried about.

887
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 2: Let people say what they think. And by the way,

888
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 2: there's a hypocrisy to any player who thinks.

889
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 3: JB.

890
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 2: Bickerstaff can do that, but Stephen A. Smith can't do this.

891
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 2: Let people say what they think. That's it, that's it.

892
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 2: If it gets personal, now we're having a different conversation.

893
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: Lebron may think STI even a got personal.

894
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 3: He didn't.

895
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 2: He was speaking about an NBA player, one that you

896
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 2: ushered in and therefore opened him up and yourself up

897
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:10,879
Speaker 2: to criticism.

898
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 3: And that is the way it should work.

899
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 2: Everybody can be complimented, everybody can be criticized. Everybody is

900
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: in this entertainment business which is open for business as

901
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: far as commentary and opinion. Like, that's how I see it,

902
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 2: and that's all JB. Bickerstaff did. He let go of

903
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 2: a really good rant.

904
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 3: That was really good.

905
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 2: It was entertaining, it was organized, it made sense. I

906
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 2: was like, give the man a microphone. I got you,

907
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 2: and I did not come away from it thinking anybody's

908
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 2: cheating or anything like that. There there are certain things

909
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 2: that refs get caught up in, and we know this,

910
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 2: whether it's a home crowd or the fact that the

911
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: other team has a star player or really good record,

912
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 2: which I think is what JB was saying here. He's like,

913
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 2: we're young, up and coming in. We're physical. That's the

914
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 2: style we play. It's not dirty like teams in that

915
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: Jersey have been in the past. I went to a

916
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 2: Piston's Warriors game just last weekend, one of the most

917
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 2: entertaining games I've watched all year, and neither team got

918
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 2: to one hundred points. They will get in you good

919
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 2: for them, that is stated, that is their style.

920
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 3: Call a foul.

921
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, but in his opinion, don't hold it against us,

922
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 2: and don't hold it against us that maybe you've never

923
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: heard of any of our players before like that, Like,

924
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 2: that's fair, that is fair. There's nothing there that the

925
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 2: NBA has to go, Oh, we got to protect the

926
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: world from here in something like that.

927
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 3: What are you hiding? What are you so worried about?

928
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 5: Is completely fair.

929
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 3: I don't get it.

930
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 2: I'll never understand it. And I know some people will go, well,

931
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 2: you let that go, then where's it going next? Well,

932
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 2: worry about that then, and you can find that. And

933
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 2: when Anthony Edwards starts going, yeah, that raf that one

934
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 2: right there. His name's Bob, here's his address, and he's

935
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 2: an idiot, Well now we're having a different conversation. But man,

936
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: you this whole like people can't speak their mind thing

937
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 2: even when they're keeping it nice and fair, just passionate. Boy,

938
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 2: to find that is crazy. There should be more of that.

939
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 2: There should be more of that. It's the only thing

940
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 2: that happened in the NBA yesterday that I remember.

941
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 5: Today, that part.

942
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so keep it up.

943
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:56,160

Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app.

975
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 3: Well, I saw a story a.

976
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 2: Couple of times throughout the week, and I thought to

977
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 2: myself immediately, well, there's something that I know I would

978
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 2: like to discuss with E from Salam, being that you

979
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 2: and I have had so many conversations about the wide

980
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 2: receiver market over the last year or so. When I

981
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 2: see that the Bengals have essentially gone public with the

982
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 2: idea that they would like Jim Chase to be the

983
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 2: highest paid non quarterback in the game. They said that

984
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 2: prior to Miles Garrett getting a monstrous contract hanging out

985
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood of forty million a year. And the

986
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 2: reaction to that is to say, oh, yes, yep, that's

987
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 2: where Jamar Chase's contract is going in. Oh, by the way,

988
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 2: the double franchise tag that we've used on T Higgins

989
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 2: probably gonna shed that here pretty quick too, because we're

990
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 2: moving down the road of a really nice extension for

991
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 2: him as well. A shudder to think what that would be,

992
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 2: because if Jamar is gonna get forty, I don't know

993
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 2: how T Higgins doesn't get somewhere close to thirty and

994
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 2: Cincinnati if you do that.

995
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 3: If you do that.

996
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 2: This is one of those classic moments where you say

997
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 2: you're doing something for someone and the opposite is true. Oh,

998
00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 2: we're giving Joe Burrow weapons, give him a line. They

999
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 2: will ruin I'm saying this right now on this show.

1000
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 2: They will ruin Joe Burrow's career. If they sign Jamar

1001
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: Chase and t Higgins to contracts that are north of

1002
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 2: sixty five million dollars per year for the two, they will.

1003
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 3: Ruin his career.

1004
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 5: You're absolutely correct in that assessment. In no world.

1005
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 3: Would you.

1006
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 4: Deemed this a good IDEA matter of fact, I don't

1007
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 4: think any other team as of present would make that

1008
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 4: type of decision. It is beyond Ludacris to even broach

1009
00:57:52,960 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 4: that in that way. I mean, what are we doing?

1010
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 5: Passing the ball wasn't the problem for for the Bengals.

1011
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 4: I mean, Joe Burrow put up crazy numbers, so much

1012
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 4: so people were arguing he should be in the MVP conversation. Yeah,

1013
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 4: but it's hard to be in the MVP conversation when

1014
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 4: you can't even make the playoffs. And so obviously, Joe

1015
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 4: Burrow is a dynamic thrower of the football, one of

1016
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 4: the very best elite quarterbacks in our league. That's a given.

1017
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 4: He's proved that since he's been in the league, one

1018
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 4: of the very few people who've beaten Patrick Mahomes at

1019
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 4: the head whatever.

1020
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 5: Whatever.

1021
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 4: But if you're planning on allocating that level of resources

1022
00:58:55,200 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 4: to two receivers and completely the your offensive line and

1023
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 4: your defensive line and back end, then you get what

1024
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 4: you get. You get a quarterback and two receivers putting

1025
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 4: up great numbers and home for the holidays.

1026
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing that's so crazy to me,

1027
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 2: big Dog, is the fact that the example of what

1028
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 2: we're talking about is staring them right in the face

1029
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: because it just happens.

1030
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 5: I know, the Steelers and Baltimore are like, yes, do

1031
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 5: e's do that? Do that?

1032
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 2: You went nine and eight, and you went nine and

1033
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 2: eight with a five game winning streak at the end

1034
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 2: of the year just to get to nine and eight,

1035
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 2: and it still wasn't enough. And Jamar was all over

1036
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 2: the place, and Tea was everywhere, and Joe Burrow with

1037
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 2: the MVP consideration all of that, and you lost eight games,

1038
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 2: and you had lost eight games before we got to December.

1039
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't even like, I have no idea what the

1040
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 2: thought process is here on on on why after throwing

1041
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 2: the ball all over the yard and missing the playoffs,

1042
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 2: you would you would turn around and think that this

1043
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 2: this is how you're going to combat that is to

1044
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 2: pour not just more resources, but essentially all the resources.

1045
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Let's put all the resources into the spot that's already

1046
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 2: going well like wild and it hasn't happened yet, but

1047
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter two days ago Bengals actively working to get

1048
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 2: both wide receivers signed as soon as possible and making progress.

1049
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 9: Go ahead and been two hundred million dollars on the

1050
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 9: receiver man, and you have glaring holes everywhere else.

1051
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 5: Boy, that'll get you fired.

1052
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 3: That's some next level attitude right there.

1053
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the Cincinnati Bengals gave up one less point

1054
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 2: than the Browns did this year.

1055
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 3: They gave up one less point than the Jags did

1056
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:04,919
Speaker 3: this year.

1057
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 2: They gave up the exact same amount of points as

1058
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 2: the Raiders did this year. That's their defense. You scored

1059
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 2: four hundred seventy two points this year. Bengals. Two teams

1060
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 2: in the AFC scored more. They're called the Ravens and Bills.

1061
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 2: Their quarterbacks both came one and two in the MVP.

1062
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: You were next, and you decide to put all of

1063
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 2: the resources into that side of the ball.

1064
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 3: Where everything's already going hunky.

1065
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Doherty flabbergasted, especially after they already tagged t Higgins.

1066
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 5: You've already got him for next year, He's already there.

1067
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 3: I like, I know you, and I said, we're kind

1068
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 3: of confused by the forty nine ers. This is even

1069
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 3: more confusing. This is even more confusing to me.

1070
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is this is what.

1071
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 4: Bad teams do. This is what bad teams do. You

1072
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 4: why would you sign Jamar Chase last year? Why wouldn't

1073
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 4: you have gotten that out the way? This is the

1074
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 4: Dallas model. We're gonna wait and wait and wait. We're

1075
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 4: gonna allow someone else to set the market and then

1076
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 4: catch up.

1077
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 2: Waiting never works. You just said that to me last week.

1078
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 2: I don't understand why you're waiting. It never works. You

1079
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 2: gotta go now, like like like, if you've got enough

1080
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 2: money to buy a house, buy a house, what do

1081
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:09,959
Speaker 2: you think the price is gonna come down?

1082
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 5: Just pay? It was too late now, yeah, I know

1083
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 5: it's too late.

1084
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 3: Now.

1085
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 2: Get It's a few teams around the league that seem

1086
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 2: to have this habit where they're always like, you know what,

1087
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna do offense. That's what we're gonna do. We're

1088
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 2: gonna do offense. There's a few teams that really sort

1089
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 2: of pop to mind. The Raiders pop to mind, The

1090
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 2: Bengals pop to mind, The Dolphins pop to mind. The

1091
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 2: Cowboys have had moments of this throughout their history. And

1092
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 2: I'll bring up one other team that finally figured it out.

1093
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 2: But for years, remember how the Lions would draft to

1094
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: receive in the first round every year. Yes, and remember

1095
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 2: how they would never win football games?

1096
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 5: Yep.

1097
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 2: And then once upon a time, not too long ago,

1098
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 2: they're like, you know what, what if we turned our

1099
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 2: super fancy quarterback into a different, like solid quarterback and

1100
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 2: got a thousand draft picks and we started using them

1101
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 2: on people like Aiden Hutchinson. I wonder what would happen. Well, oh,

1102
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 2: by the way, let's use it on some offensive lineman too.

1103
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 2: Let's use it on some offensive lineman.

1104
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 3: We'll do that. Also, sure we're still gonna sprinkle in

1105
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 3: a Jamir Gibbs here or there.

1106
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 5: Well, what you'd really need to sprinkle in is the

1107
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 5: Steve the Seger.

1108
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 4: I mean, holy hell, that would solidify your front line

1109
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 4: one thousand percent.

1110
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 3: My fault, my fault.

1111
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 7: Good evening once again, gentlemen, and the fields are set

1112
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 7: for the men's and women's to tournaments now for the NCAA,

1113
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 7: Auburn is number one overall seed for the men. Even

1114
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 7: though yes, the Tigers are ranked number one a lot

1115
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 7: this season, they have lost three of their last four games.

1116
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 7: The SEC final today was Florida beating Tennessee eighty six

1117
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 7: seventy seven. Florida Gators, by the way in top ten

1118
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 7: matchups this season five and two record.

1119
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 8: The SEC set a record.

1120
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 7: Fourteen of the sixty eight teams in the field are

1121
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 7: from the Southeastern Conference. Duke is a one seed Houston

1122
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 7: and Florida as well. Duke's going to open in Raleigh

1123
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 7: on Friday. The Blue Devils just won the ACC tournament

1124
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 7: this weekend without star Cooper Flag and his sprained ankle.

1125
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 7: The ACC has only three other schools in the field,

1126
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 7: Saint John's with Rick Beatino opening in Providence this week.

1127
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 7: Michigan State is in its twenty seventh straight NCAA tournament.

1128
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 7: Seeded second, it will face America East champion Bryant in

1129
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 7: its opener. North Carolina was apparently the last team in.

1130
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 7: It'll face San Diego State on Tuesday. The tar Heels

1131
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 7: are an eleven seed, worst seeding for him since seeding

1132
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 7: by in nineteen seventy nine, and this season North Carolina

1133
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 7: against the so called Quad one opponents the best in

1134
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 7: the land one and twelve record. Texas is in despite

1135
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 7: fifteen losses barely made it in, tied for the most

1136
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 7: losses by an at large team to earn a bit

1137
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 7: by the way, also winning conference attorneys in the Big Ten.

1138
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 7: Michigan beat Wisconsin fifty nine fifty three wins for VCU,

1139
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 7: Yale and Memphis in the NBA, the late game is

1140
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 7: underway at Milwaukee Thunder with a record of fifty five

1141
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 7: and twelve and leading late first quarter twenty four to

1142
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 7: nineteen against the Bucks. Minnesota won its eighth straight game

1143
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 7: forty one points for Anthony Edwards in a win over

1144
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 7: Utah one twenty eight one oh two. The Jazz have

1145
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 7: lost nine straight. Lakers beat Phoenix today thirty three points

1146
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 7: for Luka Doncic final score one oh seven ninety six,

1147
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 7: and Orlando won at Cleveland one to three, snapping the

1148
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 7: sixteen game winning streak of the Cavaliers in the NHL

1149
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 7: Colorado in overtime beat Dallas four to three. Dodgers shortstop

1150
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 7: Mookie Betts might miss Tuesday's opener in Japan due to illness.

1151
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 7: The Ravens signed backup quarterback Cooper Rush from Dallas, and

1152
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 7: golf play was suspended due to darkness at the players.

1153
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 7: It'll be a three hole playoff on Monday. Rory McElroy,

1154
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 7: who blew a three shot lead today going up against

1155
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 7: JJ spawn more golf in an hour than NASCAR race

1156
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 7: at Vegas went to Josh Barry his first ever Cup

1157
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 7: Series victory. And I must mention as we get to

1158
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 7: cuts here regular season, most of the major league teams

1159
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 7: will be setting on their rosters for twenty twenty five.

1160
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 7: I ran across the name of a minor league catcher

1161
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 7: in the Mets organization named Hayden Singer. This guy's now

1162
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 7: twenty seven years old, a career minor leaguer drafted in

1163
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 7: twenty eighteen, has not spent a day in the majors,

1164
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 7: he said. When the Mets catching instructor called him a

1165
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 7: couple off seasons ago, he had to say, coach, I

1166
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 7: got to call you back. He was asked why, he said,

1167
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 7: because I'm working. This guy works at Whole Foods. He's

1168
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 7: stock shelves, he brings the heavy stuff onto the floor.

1169
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 7: For the past two off seasons, Pete, he's never spent

1170
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 7: a day in the major leagues. A reporter asked him,

1171
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 7: why do you have a job at a supermarket. He

1172
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 7: shrugged and said I needed the money.

1173
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1174
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 7: So the guy, thank you very much, again, wakes up

1175
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 7: around five am, gets to work stocks the product until noon,

1176
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 7: and it's good for a workout with the large water

1177
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 7: jugs and the heavy bags of whatever. He says on

1178
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 7: my Apple watch, I almost hit my calorie goal by

1179
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 7: ten am every day. And then when it shifts ends,

1180
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 7: then he goes to the batting cage or the gym

1181
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 7: or whatever, and then gets to return home. He likes

1182
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 7: having a job where he's home and with his wife

1183
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,759
Speaker 7: in the evening. He likes the schedule in the off season,

1184
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 7: and yes it does pay, but he's really got no

1185
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 7: path to the major leagues. But Mets starting catcher Francisco

1186
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 7: Alvarez was just injured recently broke a bone in his hand,

1187
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,719
Speaker 7: so the backup at least for opening Day and beyond

1188
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,839
Speaker 7: is becoming the starter. And it's between three minor leaguers,

1189
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 7: including this guy, to become at least for the start

1190
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:02,480
Speaker 7: of the season, the Mets backup. Come on, it's incredible,

1191
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 7: it's what happened.

1192
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 3: What's his name again, the man?

1193
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 8: It would be incredible.

1194
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 7: The man's name is Hayden. Singer has never been in

1195
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 7: the majors. And for those who are unaware, everybody talks about,

1196
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 7: especially in baseball, the huge salaries. But if you're a

1197
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 7: Triple A player, you might be making seventy thousand dollars.

1198
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 7: If you're a good Triple A player. If you're a

1199
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 7: major league player, minimum wage is seven hundred and sixty thousand.

1200
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 8: Dollars for the full year. In other words, you break.

1201
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 7: It down, whoever gets and somebody will whoever gets that

1202
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 7: backup catching job to start the season for the Mets

1203
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 7: is going to be making over four thousand dollars a

1204
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 7: day as a Major League Baseball Players Union member.

1205
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 8: Not bad for a whole foods worker.

1206
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,679
Speaker 2: No back to you playing baseball. Doesn't have any games

1207
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 2: in the morning, so he could still keep that gig too.

1208
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 2: You keep that gig over there at the Whole Foots.

1209
01:09:57,880 --> 01:09:59,839
Speaker 5: I'm sure they'll work with him on a schedule.

1210
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 3: Tell you what, here's the beauty of the whole thing.

1211
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 3: If he becomes a major league player, might actually be

1212
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 3: able to afford to go to Whole Food right and

1213
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 3: shop for a day. So that would be fun.

1214
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 8: Literally, there is a reason why that market is known

1215
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 8: as whole paycheck.

1216
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 2: Holy crap, right, even if you're a ballplayer, Steve, that's awesome,

1217
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 2: all right, Hayden Singer, that's my guy, that's my guy.

1238
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:31,719
Speaker 2: that I wanted to get to with you. Anytime Aaron Rodgers'

1239
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 2: name comes up, I'm like, oh, I want to ask

1240
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 2: you from So the Vikings apparently have a decision to make.

1241
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,480
Speaker 2: The Vikings might be one of the more fascinating quarterback

1242
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:49,799
Speaker 2: situations we've ever seen. And last year's starter has already

1243
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 2: moved on. He is now a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

1244
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 2: So Aaron Rodgers has sort of put his his name

1245
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 2: in the hopper and now the Vikings have a decision

1246
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 2: to make. And I can't wait to find out what

1247
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 2: Ephram Salam would advise them to do. So we'll find

1248
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: that out coming up next on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

1249
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 2: it's Mark Willard and Ephram Salam live Inditi RAG dot

1250
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,440
Speaker 2: com Studios.

1251
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 3: It's funny, I don't know how many of our.

1252
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 2: Affiliates heard during the commercial break just moments ago the

1253
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 2: promo running for Colin Cowherd's show where he talks about

1254
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:37,560
Speaker 2: all the Super Bowl bets that came in on the

1255
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers when the rumor started that Aaron Rodgers might

1256
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 2: join them.

1257
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 3: And now it's kind of like, well, you're.

1258
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 2: Going to go to the Vikings if the Vikings say yes,

1259
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 2: but then if they don't, then maybe that'll spin to

1260
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:55,600
Speaker 2: the Steelers and the Giants. And it just leads to

1261
01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 2: two questions for me. First of all, why is there

1262
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 2: still a bidding race for this player number one and

1263
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 2: number two? Why would any team continue to allow itself

1264
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 2: to sort of be held hostage by this player all

1265
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 2: in an effort to do what like, I'm not even

1266
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 2: gonna sit here and tell you that he's like done, done, done.

1267
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 3: But it's the same thing I said to you when

1268
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 3: we were talking Niners earlier. What is it you're attempting to?

1269
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 3: Are you trying to win?

1270
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 2: If you're trying to win, why on earth would this

1271
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 2: guy even be on your radar now? If you're trying

1272
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 2: to like usher someone else in, If you got some

1273
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 2: side deal where Aaron Rodgers wants to work with JJ McCarthy.

1274
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 3: Or something like, explain something to.

1275
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 2: Me about why you would want this player in your building.

1276
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 2: But if what you're sitting here doing in the off

1277
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 2: season is, Okay, guys, how are we going.

1278
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 3: To win this year? How's this name even come up?

1279
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 4: I'm perplexed. If the question is if I was the Vikings,

1280
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 4: would I do that? Absolutely not. What you don't want

1281
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 4: to do is you don't want to undermine or undercut

1282
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy in his development. Aaron Rodgers isn't in a

1283
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 4: place to where he's trying to lead and guide the

1284
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 4: young quarterback aks Jordan Love. That's just not what he's doing.

1285
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers is trying to hold on to his legacy

1286
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 4: and continue him being Aaron Rodgers even though he hasn't

1287
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 4: been that in four years. So if you were to

1288
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 4: ask me, if I'm Minnesota, would I do this? My

1289
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 4: answer would be absolutely not because what's the payout?

1290
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 5: What do you get?

1291
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 4: Are you going to the Super Bowl? Are you winning

1292
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback? Based

1293
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 4: on the last four years of him actually well three

1294
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 4: of playing, one being negated from injury.

1295
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 9: Is this.

1296
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 4: Is this what you think you're signing up for? Because

1297
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 4: that is not the case. I don't care how he

1298
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 4: finished the end of the season. Aaron Rodgers was showing

1299
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 4: the decline in Green Bay. With his offensive coordinator, with

1300
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 4: his receivers, with the comfortable aspects of being there his

1301
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 4: whole career. He did not put up Aaron Rodgers type numbers.

1302
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 4: Follow that up with injury. Achilles then came back with

1303
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 4: subpar quarterback play. Now as good as Justin Jefferson is,

1304
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 4: I'm you would do. You would bode well by going

1305
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 4: with JJ McCarthy and seeing what you have with the

1306
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 4: tenth pick in the draft that you did you use

1307
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 4: last year. His development is now the most important thing,

1308
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 4: not what you think and older Aaron Rodgers could bring

1309
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 4: to your team, because what it could bring is it

1310
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 4: could offset the balance in the locker room. Sam Donald

1311
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 4: was a great piece. He stepped right in when needed,

1312
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 4: did what he was supposed to do. Now he's gonna

1313
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 4: go make some money somewhere else. That's not the same

1314
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 4: as Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers still believes he's the MVP

1315
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, and so with that comes the attitude of

1316
01:16:55,320 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 4: the MVP Aaron Rodgers. And that's not what you want

1317
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 4: in a locker room, especially when you have a young

1318
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 4: quarterback that you're trying to groom.

1319
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 3: You know, it's wild.

1320
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers' average salary with the New York Jets. And

1321
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 2: I know average salary doesn't tell the whole story because

1322
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 2: there's all the guarantees and the whatever. But his average

1323
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 2: salary for the three year contract he signed there was

1324
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 2: thirty seven and a half million dollars. Okay, I don't

1325
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 2: necessarily know what he would command on the open market. Now,

1326
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 2: I would assume it's a little bit less. But if

1327
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 2: what the Minnesota Vikings wanted to do was well, I think,

1328
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 2: actually we need a veteran in here, and we need

1329
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,839
Speaker 2: that veteran to essentially be here for one year because

1330
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 2: we got JJ McCarthy. Now, you and I had this

1331
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,760
Speaker 2: conversation last week, and I know that you're a big

1332
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,600
Speaker 2: opponent of JJ McCarthy getting his shot. You spent the

1333
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 2: tenth pick on him, So do it, bite the bullet,

1334
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 2: and do it. But they didn't know that they were

1335
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 2: going to go fourteen and three and do all the

1336
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 2: things that they did this year. So if you came

1337
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 2: back and said, we would like a veteran, but we

1338
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 2: just want a one year deal, and we're really looking

1339
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 2: at you know, thirty five to forty million dollars, but

1340
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:26,600
Speaker 2: for one year. If that's what you wanted to do,

1341
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 2: I know someone you could have had, Sam Darnold. Yeah,

1342
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 2: that's what he just signed in Seattle. The details have

1343
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:41,480
Speaker 2: come out. That three year deal is completely non guaranteed

1344
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 2: after one year. It is a one year, thirty seven

1345
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 2: and a half million dollar deal with two opt ins

1346
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 2: for the team.

1347
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 3: If you wanted to do this, Vikings, why wouldn't you

1348
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 3: just do it with Sam?

1349
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 5: Because they stopped believing in him, just like the world did.

1350
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 3: Is that what it was us?

1351
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 5: Yep, that's exactly what it was. How about that?

1352
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 2: So he went fourteen and three, but because of essentially

1353
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:14,520
Speaker 2: the last six quarters.

1354
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 3: There there was it.

1355
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 5: We're all out.

1356
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:28,560
Speaker 3: Hmm. That's really something. That's really something I get it.

1357
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 3: I mean, look, we watched those games. It was ugly.

1358
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 3: It was ugly. I see dead people.

1359
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, not done in the NFL because Kirk

1360
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,799
Speaker 2: Cousins is staying and what are the Giants doing.

1361
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 3: At the quarterback position?

1362
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,280

1371
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 3: We're going to circle back to that in just a

1372
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 3: little bit.

1373
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 2: Had an interesting conversation earlier tonight about Cooper Flagg, who

1374
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 2: right now they're saying is going to play in the

1375
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 2: tournament which gets started later on this week, but until then,

1376
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 2: it's the play in tournament. Don't call it the play

1377
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 2: in tournament, and start printing things out at your office

1378
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:37,799
Speaker 2: and getting them all right, and listening to this upset

1379
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 2: and that upset, and listening to your friend tell you

1380
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 2: that they've got a live dog, and then you pick

1381
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 2: too many upsets and then you lose. That's pretty much

1382
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 2: the way it goes, I think, right, yep, yep. So

1383
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,799
Speaker 2: we'll get back to that in a second. But first,

1384
01:20:54,240 --> 01:21:00,080
Speaker 2: hold on a second. They're keeping Kirk Cousins. Is that

1385
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 2: what I'm to understand? Yeah, that's so the Falcons are

1386
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 2: just gonna keep Kirk Cousins.

1387
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:09,959
Speaker 5: Well, it just gave him ten million dollars, so ten million.

1388
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 2: Bucks, and and he's just gonna be the backup. And

1389
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 2: that's not gonna bother anybody, right, I would liken it

1390
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 2: to this. You ever had a leaky faucet in the house, Yeah, okay,

1391
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 2: like yeah, just tune it out. Plumber's coming on Thursday.

1392
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:44,839
Speaker 2: Good luck sleeping, because that thing just becomes more annoying

1393
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 2: and more annoying, and you hear it more, and as

1394
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 2: soon as you hear it, then you can't unhear it,

1395
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 2: and now it's a problem. And I don't want that

1396
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 2: analogy to sound like I'm saying that Kirk Cousins is

1397
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 2: gonna be like some sort of bad guy, Like I

1398
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 2: actually think he might be on a very short list

1399
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:08,759
Speaker 2: of people who just don't even have that in their DNA.

1400
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 2: In the NFL, I'm sure he'll be a wonderful soldier.

1401
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 2: That's not what I mean. You can't do this.

1402
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 3: You can't have somebody.

1403
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 2: Making forty million dollars with the name value of Kirk

1404
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 2: Cousins and just sit him there on the bench and

1405
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 2: have him watched football games with a headset like Namely,

1406
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 2: this is unfair to Michael.

1407
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 4: Pennix, clearly unfair to him. Now, I'm sure he's okay

1408
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 4: with it. I'm sure he's like, it's gonna be what,

1409
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 4: it's gonna be, whatever it is, because he has a

1410
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:49,799
Speaker 4: confidence in himself.

1411
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 5: But he doesn't understand what that looks like. Now.

1412
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 4: Granted, I understand a little bit where they're coming from,

1413
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 4: giving my penis injury history. What you don't want to

1414
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 4: do is be caught out there with nothing. So you

1415
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 4: got to kind of hedge your bet, and it's going

1416
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 4: to be expensive, but you have to protect yourself. If

1417
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 4: all goes well, it goes well, all right, you paid

1418
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 4: for it, all right, The dead money hit was going

1419
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 4: to be there anyway. So at least you're like, we're protected,

1420
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 4: we're protected. And look, and I know, I know that's

1421
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:35,719
Speaker 4: a it's a lot.

1422
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 3: And and actually are you are you?

1423
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 5: Well you can win games with with Kurt, Yeah, but

1424
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 5: I mean now.

1425
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,639
Speaker 2: You're sticking somebody on the shelf who over the last

1426
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 2: few times we saw him over a four game period,

1427
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 2: I think it was had one touchdown in nine interceptions. Okay,

1428
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 2: so are are are you doing what the Jets did

1429
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:07,559
Speaker 2: last year? Are you fooling yourself into thinking that you're

1430
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 2: a contender because you have a big name at quarterback

1431
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 2: as opposed to somebody who can functionally go win football games.

1432
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 9: Well, I think the division bolts to fair point. You know,

1433
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 9: there's there's a little difference there.

1434
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 4: I mean, they could win the division, right if Michael

1435
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 4: Pennix has to miss two three games for whatever reason,

1436
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 4: they know they have a viable.

1437
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 5: Signal callers.

1438
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 4: They can put in it can it can can manage

1439
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 4: until he gets back if he's playing at a level

1440
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 4: that you know, they hope and and we hope that

1441
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 4: he plays that.

1442
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 3: Don't you feel like Tampa is ascending still?

1443
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 5: They are?

1444
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 3: They are, Like I'm starting to actually like that team.

1445
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 3: I love.

1446
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's is still Baker Mayfield, right, Like, you know,

1447
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 2: although he's changed the they have a little bit.

1448
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 5: Just like Sam has and Kurt had did at one point.

1449
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 3: You know.

1450
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 4: It's yeah, you're right, But what you don't want to

1451
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 4: do is be caught without ask Miami what that looks like.

1452
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get that. To me, that's not worth it

1453
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 3: in exchange for.

1454
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 5: Well, they already did the deal so well.

1455
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,639
Speaker 2: Right, But but here here's the problem with with keeping

1456
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 2: him around you think you're protecting yourself, what you're actually

1457
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 2: doing to Michael Pennix is making it much much harder

1458
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 2: for him to grow into the job.

1459
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 3: Because if you've.

1460
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 2: Got Kirk Cousins on the sideline and Michael Penix, who

1461
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 2: to this day has still only started what what do

1462
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,759
Speaker 2: we got like four games? Four games?

1463
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 5: Maybe?

1464
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 3: Did I get that right?

1465
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 2: He's played in five games games, okay, and I do believe, yeah,

1466
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 2: has only actually he's only started three and he has

1467
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 2: appeared in five games. So this is still a very

1468
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 2: young player. And if he goes out there, and I

1469
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 2: would bet at some point during the season because he's

1470
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 2: a young player, he'll struggle. And instead of everybody going, oh,

1471
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix is struggling, let's see kind of what the

1472
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 2: Falcons can do. No, no, no, it's cutaway shot to

1473
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. Cutaway shot to Kirk Cousins, cutaway shot to

1474
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. That's all it is, and then it's sports

1475
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 2: radio and television. Should the Falcons move on to Kirk Cousins.

1476
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 2: That can be one of those little debate lines that

1477
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 2: Fox puts right there at the bottom of the screen.

1478
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 2: Should the Falcons move on to Kirk Cousins, isn't it.

1479
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:50,519
Speaker 2: Let's go around the table now and everybody's sharing an opinion.

1480
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 3: The Falcons have got to move back to Kirk. The

1481
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 3: season is on the break. Here we go.

1482
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that to my first round draft pick.

1483
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that if I'm the Falcons for any price,

1484
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 2: that's just stupid.

1485
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 3: If you're if you're really making.

1486
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 2: An investment in a player, invest in them, not just

1487
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 2: financially invest in them, put all of your energy toward

1488
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 2: them being a better player.

1489
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 5: Hey man, you're preaching to it a choir.

1490
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 3: That's what I would do.

1491
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to rationalize the decision. It's a lot

1492
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 4: of dead money just to be out there if you

1493
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:36,759
Speaker 4: cut somebody.

1494
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 3: Yep.

1495
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 5: No one was trading for him for real, though, No,

1496
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 5: I don't think so.

1497
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 2: Why are these teams all interested in Aaron Rodgers not

1498
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 2: interested in Kirk Cousins.

1499
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:51,799
Speaker 3: Don't you think you have a better chance with Kirk Cousins.

1500
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 5: I yes, right, yeah, but Kirk Cousins has never been

1501
01:27:58,000 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 5: a four time MVP.

1502
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 2: Well, and obviously Rogers and Russell Wilson's of the world.

1503
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 2: You don't have to you don't have to make a trade.

1504
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 2: You can just give them a piece of paper and

1505
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 2: a pen. So I understand that. But man, there are

1506
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,760
Speaker 2: still a lot of teams sitting out there right now

1507
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 2: who could use a veteran quarterback.

1508
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:33,879
Speaker 3: There's a lot of them. Cleveland, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Tennessee.

1509
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 5: See.

1510
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think the Jets know that they're

1511
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:41,799
Speaker 3: one of them, but they still.

1512
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 5: Are the Jets.

1513
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 4: Indianapolis, Yeah, I mean they they brought in Daniel Jones.

1514
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 3: I guess that's their answer.

1515
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:51,760
Speaker 2: Well, somebody wants to compete with Anthony Richardson, so it's

1516
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 2: almost like we want someone to compete, but we don't

1517
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 2: want them to actually win the job. So let's go

1518
01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:04,799
Speaker 2: with with Daniel Jones. You know, the New York Giants.

1519
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 2: Obviously the Vikings are on that list.

1520
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 5: I were Miami, I would have that's an interesting comment.

1521
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 3: Why do you say that?

1522
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:19,640
Speaker 5: Because the inevitable thing, which I hate saying like this,

1523
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:28,559
Speaker 5: is we don't know can Tua be healthy an entire season.

1524
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:31,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fair question.

1525
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:34,200
Speaker 5: And so if I'm.

1526
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 4: Miami, I start looking at unconventional ways of addressing a situation.

1527
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 5: This would be one of them.

1528
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 4: Because I know, if something goes down with Tua, I

1529
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 4: have a viable guy who can sling that ball all

1530
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 4: over the field. What were they on like four quarterbacks

1531
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 4: last year?

1532
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:58,679
Speaker 3: It was at least three.

1533
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 4: It can't can't do it again, So I would Yeah,

1534
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 4: it's gonna cost you some money, but I would have

1535
01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 4: I would have made a decision. And there is no

1536
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 4: no tool is our starter, right, But you know we

1537
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 4: have someone here who we won't be We won't fall

1538
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:25,720
Speaker 4: off a cliff like we did. And I think that's

1539
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 4: important as an organization. You got to start looking at

1540
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:28,800
Speaker 4: things like that.

1541
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 3: That's fair.

1542
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:36,720
Speaker 2: That's fair because by the way, and I don't even

1543
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:38,560
Speaker 2: want to think about this, to be honest with you,

1544
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 2: and you know you you sort of framed it as

1545
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 2: staying healthy, but we all know exactly what the repetitive

1546
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 2: injury is that that to us has suffered.

1547
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 3: Yes, dude, if that happens again.

1548
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:54,880
Speaker 5: It's got to be over.

1549
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 2: We have to that, like we've already, like a lot

1550
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 2: of people have already said that one twice already, partially

1551
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:02,879
Speaker 2: because it keeps.

1552
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 3: Happening in primetime games and it's so jarring.

1553
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 2: It's not just a concussion, it's these awful concussions where

1554
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 2: his body is like locked up and laid out.

1555
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 3: It's incredibly hard to watch.

1556
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 2: If that happens again, I mean maybe to him makes

1557
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 2: the exact same decision again, But at the same time,

1558
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 2: there'd almost be like a there'd be like.

1559
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 3: A pr issue here, there really would.

1560
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, if that would have happened again, I think there'd

1561
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 2: be people that would be like, dude, Dolphins, you're like

1562
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 2: complicit here. You can't put him back out there. So

1563
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 2: that's an interesting thought. And yeah, it's it's not a

1564
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 2: crazy one. It's not a crazy one. I mean, the

1565
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:53,639
Speaker 2: silly broadcaster and me left this team off. But I'd

1566
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 2: love to see him go back to the Vikings.

1567
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 5: Right right, how about that? I mean he'd be perfect,

1568
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:01,479
Speaker 5: he'd be perfect, how about that?

1569
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:05,800
Speaker 2: Knows the system has worked with the coach, super nice guy,

1570
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 2: would help JJ out, would probably get out of the

1571
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 2: way if that ends up being the right thing. But

1572
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 2: at the same time, probably could keep Minnesota viable one

1573
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 2: way or another in a division that's super hard, and

1574
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:22,599
Speaker 2: I don't know that even if JJ McCarthy works out,

1575
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't like that division is going to move too

1576
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 2: fast next year, So I think it's really difficult for

1577
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:32,439
Speaker 2: the fan base there to go fourteen and three one year,

1578
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 2: and then you follow it up with, oh, by the way,

1579
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 2: there's no chance we win the division again this year.

1580
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:42,320
Speaker 2: Even if he plays well, you're not gonna beat Detroit

1581
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 2: and Green Bay and whatever Chicago becomes.

1582
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 5: No way.

1583
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:49,759
Speaker 3: I just don't think you're doing that with a rookie.

1584
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:56,920
Speaker 5: It's tough living. Balms you that it's tough living.

1585
01:32:57,080 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, all right, really really glad that you are

1614
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:33,799
Speaker 2: and I don't want to put anybody, anybody on blast

1615
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 2: because you know, here comes the NFL Draft and like

1616
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 2: I'm just like the next fan. I don't know who's

1617
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:43,320
Speaker 2: going to be good, who's going to actually turn out

1618
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 2: to be a great player, and who's going to be

1619
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 2: a bus got no idea, So.

1620
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:52,360
Speaker 3: This phrasing was interesting to me.

1621
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 2: You and I and our producers all kind of throwback

1622
01:34:56,200 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 2: ideas back and forth before the show and and uh.

1623
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 3: Nameless gonna gonna have your back.

1624
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 2: Nameless producer sends us this sentence for one idea quote,

1625
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 2: are the Giants going to be forced into drafting Shadoor

1626
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 2: Sanders if they can't get a.

1627
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:15,880
Speaker 5: QB leading the witness?

1628
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 2: Don't you think just that phraseology alone? I was like, Wow,

1629
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:33,479
Speaker 2: that's so interesting. And I understand where this author is

1630
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 2: coming from, because that that phraseology is based on what

1631
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 2: we're told, what we're told by mock drafts and experts,

1632
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 2: and this whisper at the combine and then that one

1633
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 2: over there. I sit here and I can't tell you

1634
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:56,760
Speaker 2: with any definitiveness that Shadoor Sanders is not going to

1635
01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 2: be better than Kim Ward.

1636
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 3: Maybe you will. I have no idea.

1637
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:04,320
Speaker 2: And the latest mock draft that I'm looking at right

1638
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 2: now has the Giants trading up to the number one

1639
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 2: pick with the Tennessee Titans, and the Titans, who needed

1640
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:14,800
Speaker 2: quarterback two, are so wowed by this amazing offer from

1641
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 2: the Giants they move down to number three and go

1642
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:20,719
Speaker 2: with Travis Hunter, and instead the Giants get cam Ward

1643
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 2: number one overall pick, and this mock leaves Chadur to

1644
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 2: Krein all the way down to number twenty one, where

1645
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 2: he is drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers. We'll see. But

1646
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 2: isn't it fascinating?

1647
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 5: The idea bad the best thing that ever happened to him?

1648
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:41,759
Speaker 3: I agree with you there. But if the Giants can't

1649
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 3: make some sort of a move they sit at three

1650
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:50,520
Speaker 3: and quote, will they be forced into drafting Shadors.

1651
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:54,280
Speaker 4: Well, let's give that unnamed producer and opportunity if he

1652
01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 4: so chooses to speak about it. I mean, I don't

1653
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 4: want to speculate guilty. See I am I ian am

1654
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:03,679
Speaker 4: unnamed producer.

1655
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 11: Okay, uh yeah, I mean I the fact that they've

1656
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 11: been going after Stafford and Rogers, doesn't it kind of

1657
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 11: seem like Shadur is not their guy? That That's all

1658
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 11: I mean by forced is if it's the plan all

1659
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,040
Speaker 11: along to take them, then fine, But it seems like

1660
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 11: they're doing everything they can to to do anything else.

1661
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:27,120
Speaker 11: So if it comes around and they don't have a

1662
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 11: quarterback by the time the draft, you know they're picking

1663
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 11: third in the draft, shoulders on the board. You don't

1664
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 11: have a franchise quarterback dables on the hot seat, chains

1665
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:35,920
Speaker 11: on the hot seat. You might not have a choice.

1666
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 3: M So it's I mean, it's a it's a fair thought.

1667
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 5: It's a good take based on what we've been told, right. Yeah,

1668
01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 5: I believe.

1669
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 4: If they were to get should Do at three, that'd

1670
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,640
Speaker 4: be tremendous for the franchise.

1671
01:37:56,360 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 5: You do, yeah, I do. Uh one.

1672
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 4: It brings energy back to the franchise. A franchise has

1673
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:07,320
Speaker 4: been much maligned the last year in terms of some

1674
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 4: of the missteps they've had. Right, So, they've been everyone's

1675
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 4: punching bag and laughing stock. Right We've witnessed them on

1676
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 4: television make horrendous decisions.

1677
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:26,680
Speaker 5: And have to deal with the aftermath of that.

1678
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 4: By watching one of those decisions catapult a team to

1679
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 4: greatness in terms of a Super Bowl championship, I mean,

1680
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 4: the team was on his back second greatest rushing single

1681
01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:48,719
Speaker 4: season ever, I think, the third most rushing yards including

1682
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:53,000
Speaker 4: playoffs and regular season ever. He was the leader in

1683
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 4: your locker room, and we won't let you forget that.

1684
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:06,960
Speaker 4: So I think by creating different energy and having should

1685
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:16,639
Speaker 4: Do in New York, I think to me, that kind

1686
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:21,560
Speaker 4: of ushers in uh, you know, a new front in

1687
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:25,640
Speaker 4: terms of Okay, what is this going to be, like

1688
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 4: is this going to work?

1689
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:27,720
Speaker 5: It should do?

1690
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 4: Or the answer is like, now we're asking different questions

1691
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:37,920
Speaker 4: opposed to just the ridicule that you'll continually get based

1692
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:41,120
Speaker 4: on the decisions you've made just as early as a

1693
01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:41,559
Speaker 4: year ago.

1694
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:45,479
Speaker 5: Does that make sense?

1695
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:51,680
Speaker 4: Absolutely so, I think it's a it's the quickest and

1696
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:55,160
Speaker 4: best way. Like if you bring in Aaron Rodgers, now

1697
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 4: you're adding to the bad decisions you've been making. Yep,

1698
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:03,480
Speaker 4: well right, Like so if you're looking for other options,

1699
01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 4: you're now, oh, they just they're just dumb.

1700
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,800
Speaker 2: Well right now, if you go to the veteran route,

1701
01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 2: the dividends need to be immediate, right, they need to

1702
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 2: be immediate.

1703
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 4: You buy yourself time, yourself some time, and sure you

1704
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:23,439
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to pair a dynamic We all believe

1705
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 4: they're young receivers dynamic with a young quarterback and you

1706
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 4: can now watch them grow together.

1707
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 2: Right, But then again, what an incredibly unsound decision making process,

1708
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 2: Like think of all the things we just said, they're

1709
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 2: all based on like, well, I'm just trying to keep

1710
01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 2: my job or I'm trying to do the opposite of

1711
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 2: what I did last year on hard.

1712
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 5: Knocks or like like, oh, I'm trying, he's the best

1713
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:55,719
Speaker 5: quarterback option.

1714
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, now we're getting somewhere. Yeah, but do they

1715
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:00,439
Speaker 3: actually feel that way?

1716
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't matter if they feel that way. If

1717
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,560
Speaker 4: they say it and they draft him, then that's what

1718
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 4: it is, right, But they have to feel it. You

1719
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:12,840
Speaker 4: believe it when you make the draft pick, you believe it.

1720
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:15,600
Speaker 4: When you make the pick. You can be on the

1721
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 4: fence all you want, but when you make that pick,

1722
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 4: you believe it, and everybody else around you and your

1723
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 4: fan base believes it.

1724
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. I guess.

1725
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 2: I mean I've watched I've watched teams make that pick

1726
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 2: and then before that pick even ever really hits the field,

1727
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 2: they're like, don't I don't believe.

1728
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 5: Look, Brian Dabbos, coach, did the.

1729
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:42,280
Speaker 3: Vikings believe in JJ McCarthy.

1730
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 5: I do believe they do.

1731
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 3: Then what the hell are they doing? Why are they

1732
01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 3: talking to Aaron Rodgers?

1733
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,760
Speaker 5: We don't know what those conversations are for Aaron Wow?

1734
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:52,040
Speaker 3: Why I mean they talk to him?

1735
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:54,759
Speaker 5: Obviously, I do believe they believe in JJ McCarthy.

1736
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 3: Brought him in. Of course, they brought him in. You

1737
01:41:58,040 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 3: know what I mean?

1738
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, what will happen? Will they go that route?

1739
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:06,640
Speaker 3: I would bet against it, but I don't know.

1740
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 4: Right, Like, sometimes we talk about Steve de Seger and

1741
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:11,639
Speaker 4: sometimes we let him talk.

1742
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we wish to let him talk.

Speaker 7: did not finish. The tournaments in Florida. Play was suspended

1792
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:52,160
Speaker 7: due to darkness at the Players. It'll be a three

1793
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 7: to a hole playoff on Monday with Rory McElroy against

01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 7: weather delay today and then McElroy blew a three shot lead.

1797
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 8: Sure he's not going to think about that overnight.

1798
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:10,200
Speaker 7: By the way, there is a great name that actually

1799
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 7: got a chance to golf on Thursday. Now, he's not

1800
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 7: a big name in golf, but it's a great story.

1801
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:20,800
Speaker 7: Danny Walker is from Florida. He lives in Florida now

1802
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 7: and this tournament there is not far from his home

1803
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 7: in Jacksonville. He showed up there on Thursday because he

1804
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 7: was first alternate for this huge event. It's about the

1805
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 7: biggest thing you can play outside of a major. So

1806
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:36,799
Speaker 7: he's there in the locker room Thursday morning at TPC

1807
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 7: Sawgrass and at about seven am gets a phone call.

1808
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:41,560
Speaker 3: You're in.

1809
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 7: Jason Day's sick. He's had to withdraw. You're the next

1810
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:46,680
Speaker 7: man up.

1811
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 8: He says.

1812
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 7: This means the world to me because I've been wanting

1813
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 7: to play this event since i was a little kid.

1814
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:53,719
Speaker 1: He said.

1815
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 7: He watched this tournament just last year from behind the

1816
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:01,679
Speaker 7: ropes and now gets to play it. He said, living

1817
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,760
Speaker 7: here locally, could not be more excited got the call

1818
01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:06,200
Speaker 7: than had to go sit in my car for a

1819
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 7: few minutes afterwards. Let it hit me, maybe let a

1820
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:11,720
Speaker 7: tear out. Let the emotion out early so you can

1821
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:14,760
Speaker 7: relax and actually go play a round of golf. And

1822
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:16,880
Speaker 7: then he shows up for the tea time, which was

1823
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,760
Speaker 7: only an hour and a half later, and it's a

1824
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 7: pair of major champions that he's playing golf alongside Jordan

1825
01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:26,200
Speaker 7: Speith and Wyndham Clark. And he winds up with a

1826
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:29,240
Speaker 7: one over seventy three okay for day number one. This

1827
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 7: is a University of Virginia alum we're talking about. And

1828
01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:36,760
Speaker 7: then he's going very well in round number two, he's

1829
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 7: at four under par. He might actually be making the

1830
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 7: cut here in Florida on seventeen bogie eighteenth oal bogee.

1831
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:46,840
Speaker 8: He eventually finished.

1832
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 7: These two rounds at one under par. Overall, didn't think

1833
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 7: he was going to make the cut. The cut line

1834
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:55,920
Speaker 7: settled at one under exactly. He got to play Saturday. Also,

1835
01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:58,640
Speaker 7: he said, this is a little surreal. I'm getting to

1836
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 7: meet all these guys who've won on tour. I haven't

1837
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:03,720
Speaker 7: met most of them. And then it was a very

1838
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 7: windy Saturday at the tournament, but he shot well. In fact,

1839
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 7: he said, since moving to Jacksonville five or six years ago,

1840
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 7: I've played this course close to one hundred times. That

1841
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 7: came in handy because the writers were starting to ask

1842
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 7: him Saturday night. You might actually get some sort of

1843
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 7: check out of this. How are you going to spend it?

1844
01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 7: He said, no, no, no, I'll just get a take

1845
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 7: an app tonight or try to didn't get a lot

1846
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 7: of sleep the night before.

1847
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 8: See if I can make up for that.

1848
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 7: But this guy's total career earning since turning pro in

1849
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:40,000
Speaker 7: twenty eighteen about six hundred eighty thousand dollars for about

1850
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:44,280
Speaker 7: one hundred events in golf. Just by comparison, John Rahm

1851
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:47,599
Speaker 7: won about that much just this weekend on the Live

1852
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 7: Golf Tour for finishing for a tie for fifth in Singapore.

1853
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:55,600
Speaker 7: This guy's big payday was Mexico opened last month. He

1854
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 7: got about one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars ladies

1855
01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 7: and gentlemen and Danny Walker finished in a tie for

1856
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:05,960
Speaker 7: sixth place. He shot a final round seventy after a

1857
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:09,680
Speaker 7: sixty six yesterday. He's going to get a check for

1858
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:12,919
Speaker 7: over eight hundred and forty thousand dollars.

1859
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 3: Let's go.

1860
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:16,640
Speaker 7: He did not know he was playing the stinking of

1861
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,640
Speaker 7: Oh my Thursday morning, let's go.

1862
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:24,160
Speaker 8: That is astounding. Again. The event ends with the playoff tomorrow.

1863
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:27,320
Speaker 5: Back to you, is he needs to sign up? A

1864
01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 5: live golf right now.

1865
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:32,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm more impressed by his performance

1866
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:35,320
Speaker 2: or your storytelling ability.

1867
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:38,120
Speaker 5: Definitely the story. Yeah, the dive, that's brilliant.

1868
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:41,280
Speaker 2: The dive that you took to even be able to

1869
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:46,559
Speaker 2: share all of that with the audience was also a plus. Wow,

1870
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:51,639
Speaker 2: this is kind of becoming a sponsorable event.

1871
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:54,680
Speaker 7: I believe it's like the Ernie Johnson segment that's never

1872
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:55,879
Speaker 7: sponsored on DNA.

1873
01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what we have here, seven seven thirty Pacific,

1874
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 2: ten East di Sega on golf.

1875
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 3: If you don't know, you don't know.

1876
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,200
Speaker 5: Brought to you by No. One.

1877
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Okay, another subject, Fancheck, you mentioned that that

1878
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:20,839
Speaker 2: Dodger Cubs game in Japan on Tuesday will get started

1879
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 2: at six am.

1880
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's if you live in New York.

1881
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 2: If you live where the Dodgers play, that game will

1882
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 2: start at three in the morning.

1883
01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:34,000
Speaker 7: I am told the Dodger radio announcers are calling it

1884
01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:36,439
Speaker 7: from the TV studio in La no.

1885
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 8: Way live at three am.

1886
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:39,000
Speaker 3: Why didn't they go?

1887
01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 8: TV's there?

1888
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:41,200
Speaker 3: Radio?

1889
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 8: Apparently not. You didn't answer my question, oh am, I

1890
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 8: getting up at three?

1891
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:51,599
Speaker 3: No, I have a new question. Why didn't the radio

1892
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 3: team go?

1893
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:54,040
Speaker 8: Yeah? That's a good one.

1894
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 7: I'm just telling you what I heard, Okay, Because they

1895
01:49:56,479 --> 01:49:58,840
Speaker 7: played in South Korea to open last season, I think

1896
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:01,920
Speaker 7: this was the same gig TV went and radio did.

1897
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:03,360
Speaker 3: Not interesting all right?

1898
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:07,040
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, back to the original question, who's getting up

1899
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 2: at three am to watch this game?

1900
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:13,760
Speaker 7: They played an exhibition with Otani homering on Saturday, yep,

1901
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,599
Speaker 7: and I woke up early, but not at all at

1902
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:19,920
Speaker 7: three am. So the DVR is my friend.

1903
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:21,760
Speaker 5: The DVR is everyone's.

1904
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:23,839
Speaker 8: One of the great inventions of my lifetime.

1905
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:28,640
Speaker 2: It's the time you get, the time you won't know.

1906
01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:32,200
Speaker 2: You could just watch it, maybe because it's the middle

1907
01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:34,640
Speaker 2: of the night. But the bottom line for me is,

1908
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 2: and this is my own problem. Maybe I'm too connected,

1909
01:50:39,479 --> 01:50:42,040
Speaker 2: but that would be a problem. The bottom line is

1910
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 2: I cannot DVR sports.

1911
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 3: I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't

1912
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:48,439
Speaker 3: do it.

1913
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:50,360
Speaker 5: That's all I do.

1914
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:51,680
Speaker 3: All I do.

1915
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 9: Can do it.

1916
01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:54,839
Speaker 7: We went out to lunch and then watch the Lakers

1917
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 7: game with no commercials today.

1918
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 5: Isn't it great? Seeming a great?

1919
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:02,720
Speaker 2: No, because actually the no commercials thing kills me. I

1920
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 2: am too impatient to watch people shoot free throws.

1921
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:09,880
Speaker 5: I don't watch free throws are commercials.

1922
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you're you're you're like when you start

1923
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:16,280
Speaker 2: fast forward and then it goes too far, Like I.

1924
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:18,439
Speaker 5: Just it just doesn't problem.

1925
01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:21,719
Speaker 11: I'm with you, Mark, I knowing what happens, you just can't.

1926
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 5: I can't do it on knowing what happened either.

1927
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:26,760
Speaker 11: Well, it's also just the fact that you knowing that

1928
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 11: it already happened.

1929
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:28,879
Speaker 3: You and me exactly.

1930
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't know what happened though.

1931
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 3: You know that at a touch of a button you

1932
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:34,360
Speaker 3: could get the final answer.

1933
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:37,639
Speaker 2: You know that somebody's gonna text you when they wake

1934
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 2: up through Yes, they will.

1935
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:42,320
Speaker 5: Steve, do you ever have this problem? No, not at all,

1936
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:44,240
Speaker 5: because we're not six years old.

1937
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 7: Isn't it just like whatever big movie is coming to

1938
01:51:47,040 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 7: the theaters and you don't see it on Thursday.

1939
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:52,640
Speaker 2: I think I've seen a movie since before COVID, So

1940
01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:54,760
Speaker 2: there's that I'm saying.

1941
01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:56,519
Speaker 7: Over the years, there have been plenty of movies that

1942
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:58,560
Speaker 7: I've wanted to see but just too busy for the

1943
01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:00,560
Speaker 7: first few weeks, and I just say, away from it,

1944
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:02,000
Speaker 7: they're still still enjoy it.

1945
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 8: Everybody else saw it.

1946
01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:05,519
Speaker 2: But then I'm just telling you that this is in

1947
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 2: the back of my mind at all times. I can't

1948
01:52:08,280 --> 01:52:11,639
Speaker 2: do sports when it's already done.

1949
01:52:12,720 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 5: Do you know the time I watched the Laker game

1950
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:16,360
Speaker 5: to day thirty?

1951
01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 3: No, you should have just called me. You should have

1952
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 3: called me. I would have told you they didn't know anything.

1953
01:52:23,240 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 5: I didn't know on what happened. I just watched. It

1954
01:52:27,560 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 5: takes me about an hour off that to watch the

1955
01:52:31,200 --> 01:52:31,760
Speaker 5: whole game.

1956
01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:32,479
Speaker 3: I knew that.

1957
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:36,840
Speaker 2: I knew the Lakers won by by double digits at

1958
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 2: about ten o'clock this morning, to be honest with you,

1959
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 2: because that's when I bet it, because there's no way

1960
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,960
Speaker 2: in hell with getting a bunch of their starters back.

1961
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 3: They were losing to the Phoenix freaking Sun.

1962
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:48,960
Speaker 8: Lakers are up first four.

1963
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 3: They've given up. Did you hear Bob Myers and steven A. Smith?

1964
01:52:53,200 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 8: I could not believe what he was seeing.

1965
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 3: Holy crop. You want to talk about.

1966
01:52:59,160 --> 01:52:59,479
Speaker 8: Effort?

1967
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:02,120
Speaker 3: Wow? Steven A.

1968
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 2: Smith basically said they look like a bunch of kids

1969
01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 2: who've been punished by their parents and are being told

1970
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:11,919
Speaker 2: this is what you have to go do as your punishment.

1971
01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:13,479
Speaker 3: You have to go play this basketball game.

1972
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:17,680
Speaker 7: Isn't this another example of not lighting the players run

1973
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 7: the asylum?

1974
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:19,160
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

1975
01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:20,559
Speaker 8: Yes, it is get a Big.

1976
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:22,280
Speaker 3: Three, although no trade.

1977
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 2: Yes, But at the same time, another good idea front office,

1978
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:30,120
Speaker 2: don't tell your star you're going to trade him and

1979
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:34,639
Speaker 2: then don't because then you get back to the locker

1980
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:38,400
Speaker 2: room and everybody hates everybody. So that's on the front

1981
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:41,439
Speaker 2: office too. The Sun's front office is right next to

1982
01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:44,599
Speaker 2: the Mavericks. As far as I'm concerned, this month, new.

1983
01:53:44,560 --> 01:53:48,280
Speaker 7: Owner, ready to spend extremely rich basketball guy and.

1984
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:50,599
Speaker 8: Crazy might not even make the play in thirty one

1985
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:51,320
Speaker 8: and thirty seven.

1986
01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:53,080
Speaker 3: Then you can change that mite.

1987
01:53:53,840 --> 01:53:56,120
Speaker 2: I mean, the only reason they've got a shot is

1988
01:53:56,160 --> 01:53:57,599
Speaker 2: because all Mavericks are hurt.

1989
01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're right around Portland. Who really nobody has paid

1990
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:03,320
Speaker 7: attention to right for most of the season. That's the equivalent.

1991
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Suns are a game and a half behind Dallas,

1992
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 2: and Dallas may not ever win again either, So maybe

1993
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:09,920
Speaker 2: they'll get the ten spot. But if they do, they're

1994
01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:12,960
Speaker 2: gonna get unceremoniously kicked out right away.

1995
01:54:13,120 --> 01:54:15,640
Speaker 8: What if it's this Phoenix team at Golden State for

1996
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:16,120
Speaker 8: a play in.

1997
01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't believe that Golden State will be in the

1998
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:20,839
Speaker 3: playing tools.

1999
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:26,599
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, they could, but obviously, if Golden

2000
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 2: State ends up in the playing tournament, I would see

2001
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:30,919
Speaker 2: them as the in the seven.

2002
01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 3: Eight game and uh and not in the nine to

2003
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:35,800
Speaker 3: ten game. That would be.

2004
01:54:36,080 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 8: Correct for me.

2005
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:40,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, because they could. Minnesota doesn't lose either,

2006
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 2: so they definitely could just like the Lakers. Am I

2007
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 2: righty from you?

2008
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:52,480
Speaker 3: No? All right? Tyrech dot com studio is glad you're

2009
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 3: with us. Thank you, Steve. Phenomenal stuff. As always.

2010
01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 2: Like basketball, Tractor Supply knows that a winning season takes practice, teamwork,

2011
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:01,920
Speaker 2: and it can do. Attitude is Bracket Challenge season and

2012

2073
01:58:33,320 --> 01:58:38,920
Speaker 4: I like that they bet the moods. You're so biased, bets.

2074
01:58:40,240 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 4: I know, I know one team deserved to be in

2075
01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 4: the tournament. No other team did not, mister president of

2076
01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:50,840
Speaker 4: the head of the committee, it happens just to be

2077

Speaker 4: the athletic director of North Carolina.

2078
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 2: Come on, now, well, if college sports wasn't corrupt, then

2079
01:58:57,600 --> 01:58:58,200
Speaker 2: what would we do?

2080
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:00,480
Speaker 3: I don't even know how. I didn't know how I

2081
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:01,200
Speaker 3: would handle that.

2082
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 5: I take them odds though, okay all day, but for

2083
01:59:05,880 --> 01:59:07,760
Speaker 5: real or just like because you're biased?

2084
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:11,440
Speaker 3: No, for real? O, give me give me fifteen seconds

2085

Speaker 3: on why.

2086
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:15,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, because we played defense and defense travels. We don't

2087
01:59:15,320 --> 01:59:17,360
Speaker 4: have to worry about if somebody's hot or not. We

2088
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 4: play defense. We're getting the Mountain West defensive player of

2089
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:24,880
Speaker 4: the Year back. I averaged three blocks a game to

2090
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:28,919
Speaker 4: protect the paint. We guard the wing and three point shooters.

2091
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:33,280
Speaker 4: Second best, better than any other team in NC DOUBLEA. Okay,

2092
01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:34,480
Speaker 4: facts not fiction.

2093
01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:37,640
