Speaker 1: link at the top of the chat. We got a
Speaker 1: shipping there and we should be able to fulfill all
Speaker 1: orders placed. So thank you again for selling us out
Speaker 1: and thank you. You can beat USC to advance to
Speaker 1: the final four eighty to seventy three. But I thought
Speaker 1: that first game was so good, O Joe. We need
Speaker 1: to start with that one. Kaylyn Clark Carrie's IOWA as
Speaker 1: Angel Reese in the last year's national champ Louisiana Tech
Speaker 1: Lady Tigers to reach the final four ninety four to
Speaker 1: eighty seven. Clark forty one points with twelve assists lifted
Speaker 1: the top seeds Hawkeyes over last year's defending champ. I
Speaker 1: would advances to the final four for the second straight
Speaker 1: year and gains a measure of revenge against the team
Speaker 1: that knocked them out, who beat them in the national
Speaker 1: title game. Last year, Caitlin Clark was phenomenal. O Sho
Speaker 1: Todd Nancy record tournament record with nine three pointers, broke
Speaker 1: the game open. It was forty five forty five and
Speaker 1: a half. And then she comes out in the third
Speaker 1: quarter and launches four in hits him, and now she's
Speaker 1: broken the NCAA all time record for three pointers made
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty with another game possible two games
Speaker 1: to go, she passes Oklahoma Taylor Robinson's five five thirty seven.
Speaker 1: It was also Clark's twentieth game in which she scored
Speaker 1: at least thirty points and ten assists in her career.
Speaker 1: This is also clark third game with forty points, double
Speaker 1: doubles in the NCAA Tournament Elite eight, twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: National semi Finals, and the twenty twenty four Elite eight.
Speaker 1: So she was phenomenal. Andrew Rees was great until she
Speaker 1: filed out seventeen points twenty rebounds. She filed out late
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. She tweaked that anchor early in
Speaker 1: the ball game. Ojo Flaje Johnson added twenty three, but
Speaker 1: it was not enough to overcome Kaitlyn Clark and the
Speaker 1: Hawk Eyes. Ojo, you watched this game, what'd you like
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 3: Listen, I watched the game. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: It was it was very worthy of all the hype
Speaker 3: that everybody talked about. Obviously Kaitlyn Clark and what she's
Speaker 3: done throughout them throughout the entirety of the season. Andrew
Speaker 3: Reese with her and the LSU Tigers have done throughout
Speaker 3: the entirety of the season. In the build up to
Speaker 3: this matchup, it was everything I expected to be, especially
Speaker 3: for me, someone who doesn't watch much basketball. This was
Speaker 3: a joy for me to watch because of it. It's exciting.
Speaker 3: It was exciting all four quarters. Obviously, Caitlyn Clark, Dude,
Speaker 3: she's amazing. Bruh, She's amazing. She's amazing. Listen. I don't
Speaker 3: want to do any type of comparisons as far as
Speaker 3: NBA players, but pulling up from half court, pulling up
Speaker 3: from McDonald's, pulling up from outside the gym, pulling up
Speaker 3: from the stands basically is what she did out there.
Speaker 3: And she was so efficient from the field and being
Speaker 3: able to do whatever she wanted the entirety of the
Speaker 3: night was really awesome. It was awesome to see. It
Speaker 3: was a great matchup LSU Tigers coach Mochi and Angel
Speaker 3: Reese and their squad. They played a hell of a game,
Speaker 3: but it just wasn't enough to unseat the Iowa Hawk
Speaker 3: Eyes a night. I really enjoyed it. I really did.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the real women's college game is alive
Speaker 1: and well. Last year, this game just slightly less than
Speaker 1: ten million. I can believe it's going to be double
Speaker 1: digits at least when we get the ratings back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark was phenomenal. You knew she would be felt
Speaker 1: in order for her to win this game, I felt
Speaker 1: she was the best player on the court, but I
Speaker 1: felt LSU had the better team and in order for
Speaker 1: a hour to advance, she was gonna have to have
Speaker 1: a Cheryl Swoops type of a game. And uh at
Speaker 1: cherryff Swoops Nationally in the National Championship game, she shot
Speaker 1: shot sixteen or twenty two or seventeen or twenty two.
Speaker 1: She had forty seven, and she lifted her team. Kaitlyn
Speaker 1: Clark had a similar type game. She was phenomenal. Cheryl
Speaker 1: didn't have the assist and I thought Lsu did a
Speaker 1: terrible job Kim Moki did a terrible job of coaching,
Speaker 1: because they did nothing to get the ball out of
Speaker 1: her hands. You gotta trap her, you gotta blitzer, make
Speaker 1: her give the ball up. You know, when she goes left,
Speaker 1: she's looking to launch a three three. Yeah, if she
Speaker 1: goes right, she's looking to keep the ball, or she's
Speaker 1: gonna give it up and she's gonna go get it back.
Speaker 1: Watch to look at the way what u khon how
Speaker 1: they approached Juju Watkins, she got the ball, They trapped,
Speaker 1: they blizzer give it up. Sometimes you you sometimes you
Speaker 1: either you know you show but you can't. And then
Speaker 1: the first two possessions, what did they do? Ojoe? They
Speaker 1: go under You mean to tell me, Kaitlyn Clark, who
Speaker 1: arguably one of the greatest shooters in women's college history,
Speaker 1: you're gonna go under the screen. There's no possible way
Speaker 1: you rehearse that, I'm gonna say, Kim Bulkie. She coached
Speaker 1: them to go over the screen, and that was just
Speaker 1: them going under the screen. But there's no would you
Speaker 1: ever go up under screen? Over on Steph Curry, would
Speaker 1: you never ever go up under screen on Dame Lillard.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. You have to give her the same level
Speaker 1: of respect in the women's college game that you would
Speaker 1: give those great shooters, and that what she is. And
Speaker 1: so I just didn't see enough adjustments. Lsu did a
Speaker 1: tremendous job on the glass. I'll rebounded by eighteen. I
Speaker 1: thought when Angel Reese tweaked that ankle, she wasn't the
Speaker 1: same player because she didn't have the same level of
Speaker 1: lyft ojo. But also you look at I were early on.
Speaker 1: What were they looking to do? Push the pace figure,
Speaker 1: they're looking to get it. There's some look the court.
Speaker 1: We can't let you set your defense because we don't
Speaker 1: have the size to match up with you. So every
Speaker 1: chance we can get an easy bucket, we're looking to
Speaker 1: get that.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get it.
Speaker 1: Clark, get the ball, eyes immediately up, she's ahead right boom.
Speaker 1: But give you know what, even though I thought ls
Speaker 1: you did a terrible job of defensing Caitlyn Clark, you
Speaker 1: have to give her because she rolls to the occasion,
Speaker 1: one or two things needed to happen. You make her
Speaker 1: a score or you make her a facilitator. But you
Speaker 1: can't letter do both. You can't let it go get
Speaker 1: forty one and twelve assists, because now you're add a mercy,
Speaker 1: you add a mercy. Oh Joe, you gotta make a decision,
Speaker 1: bron either gonna get thirty forty with three or four
Speaker 1: five assists, or you're gonna get fifty, but we're not
Speaker 1: gonna let you get forty and fifteen. Can't let these
Speaker 1: great players do that to you because now not only
Speaker 1: are they getting theirs, they're allowing their other team, their teammates,
Speaker 1: to get involved as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes you have to think about it. There are ways,
Speaker 3: like you just said, not allowing or trying to contain
Speaker 3: a player. You can't stop them. You can only you
Speaker 3: can only hope to contain them, yes, or slow them down.
Speaker 3: They would find ways. They would run plays and find
Speaker 3: ways to get Caitlin Clark the ball and make sure
Speaker 3: she can get those shots off and get open. And
Speaker 3: then if let's say the coaching was a little different
Speaker 3: on coach Mokey's part, I think still then the hawk
Speaker 3: eyes would adjust and still find ways to make sure
Speaker 3: they can find ways to get Caitlin Carr open. And
Speaker 3: she's one who can How do I say this the
Speaker 3: right way? In basketball terms, she can create a shot
Speaker 3: on her own. Yes, she can create a shot on
Speaker 3: the home where she doesn't need much help. So once
Speaker 3: you put in an instructured environment, now you have picks,
Speaker 3: and you got screens, you got rolls, then that makes
Speaker 3: even that much better.
Speaker 1: So because what she said when they said to pick
Speaker 1: and roll, you brought to defend the closer. Now I
Speaker 1: can trap you. Now I can blitch you and make
Speaker 1: you give the ball up. Now you might get it
Speaker 1: back or they might roll to the basket. But I
Speaker 1: I can't let Caitlyn Clark. What do you say if
Speaker 1: I'm playing a team with a great receiver, if the
Speaker 1: number two guys the number three guy beat me, I
Speaker 1: can live with that. Hey if t Higgins, if Taylor
Speaker 1: Boy beats me, I just can't let Jamar Chase go
Speaker 1: get two hundred and three touchdown. So if T. Higgins
Speaker 1: goes get one to twenty five and Boy gives me
Speaker 1: seventy five and two touchdowns, I can live with that.
Speaker 1: Because there's three guys, I just can't let the guy.
Speaker 1: I know they're trying to get the ball to beat me.
Speaker 1: You know, the one chance they got a beating you
Speaker 1: is Caitlin Clark. So if somebody else rides to the
Speaker 1: occasion on Joe, Hey, we've seen that happen. We've seen
Speaker 1: that happen before. The second third tier guy guys rise
Speaker 1: to the occasion. But I can't let Caitlyn Clark go
Speaker 1: get forty one twelve. Right, I have a question.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm looking at the chat and they said, my
Speaker 3: cameras blurry?
Speaker 1: Is it blurrying? Your in looks fine? I look blurry,
Speaker 1: looks fine to me. Huh. They say it's fixed now, Sid,
Speaker 1: it's fixed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Oh, chat was making fun of the cameras
Speaker 3: by my camera back my camera from twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: Well, the night cap looks blurry. Night cap does look blurry?
Speaker 1: Can you see it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: You say you were blurry to say the night cap
Speaker 1: is blurry, but you were blurry at first.
Speaker 3: So what do I do?
Speaker 1: You good? You good as long as you can. We
Speaker 1: don't care about the sign long as you long.
Speaker 3: As you're clear, okay, long, yeah, yeah, yeah, Lowers, you're clear. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm ready Now, I'm ready. I want to talk some
Speaker 3: more basketball.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think the thing is old. Show is
Speaker 1: that look great players are going to be great, but
Speaker 1: you gotta really going to rise to the occasion. But
Speaker 1: I got to make it tough on you. Right, there's
Speaker 1: a reason why they locked the doors. They put the
Speaker 1: money in the ball. They don't have the money on.
Speaker 1: When you walk into the cash and the money just
Speaker 1: sitting up there, We're gonna make it difficult for you.
Speaker 1: You're there's one hundred cap If you look at every
Speaker 1: stall and you go up to the cash here, every
Speaker 1: stall has a camera pointing directly on it. Most of
Speaker 1: the time they're security in there. There's a big old vault. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I've got to make it difficult for you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do people steal money from a bank. Absolutely, But is
Speaker 1: it easy. No. No, great players are gonna get fairs.
Speaker 1: But I can't make it easy on you. I gotta
Speaker 1: make it as difficult as I possibly can. I got
Speaker 1: to make you exert. I gotta make you take some contested, tough,
Speaker 1: tough shots. But I also know the game plan says
Speaker 1: that when she goes left, she likes to launch the three,
Speaker 1: and when she goes right, she's looking to finish, or
Speaker 1: she'll give it up and try to get it back. Well,
Speaker 1: if I know that as soon as he come left,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come try, I'll come blister. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: it out of hands.
Speaker 3: You know it's funny. I like that you said that,
Speaker 3: but you hear how you just called out the game
Speaker 3: plan based on what she likes to do. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: you know it in your mind, but then having to
Speaker 3: execute it and stop it on the court is a
Speaker 3: whole different ball game.
Speaker 1: Yes, hell, you know.
Speaker 3: You know what Lebron gonna do when he looked down
Speaker 3: at the ball and he stepped back to hit that
Speaker 3: goddamn three. You know what Lebron gonna do when he
Speaker 3: goes to the right, He drives to the basket right.
Speaker 1: Well, I know that, but.
Speaker 3: Has anybody been able to stop it when it comes
Speaker 3: to Kobe when Kobe and his go to move, well,
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan his go to move, help God damned Dame Lillard, Kyrie.
Speaker 3: There's certain moves that players had that they do consistently
Speaker 3: that we watching from home or as analysts, as journalists.
Speaker 3: We know what they like to do, but the hard
Speaker 3: part is stopping it because they're so good at it.
Speaker 1: If he hits that shot and I got a hand
Speaker 1: in his face, I can live with that.
Speaker 3: You got to live with that, right, right, But the.
Speaker 1: Fact of the matter is, I'm not up on the guy,
Speaker 1: and I know Lebron is looking at the ball and
Speaker 1: I'm three feet away. Because still the Scotty report on
Speaker 1: Lebron is that don't let him get past you, don't
Speaker 1: let him get downhill. So a lot of times they'll
Speaker 1: concede the shot, that three point shot. Now he's made
Speaker 1: him pay for it a lot. This year, he's shooting
Speaker 1: almost forty two percent from the three. But I just
Speaker 1: believe Look, maybe it was in the cars. This game
Speaker 1: reminded me a lot of the UNLV Duke game. UNLV
Speaker 1: blew him out eighteen ninety. They came back, tried to
Speaker 1: repeat it was perfect, undefeated, and dude got a measure
Speaker 1: of revenge. Duke played extremely well. But I just I
Speaker 1: just thought that Lsu, LSU, there are some things that
Speaker 1: they probably should have done. And I'm sure kill Mulky.
Speaker 1: She probably won't admit, but she probably gonna say, you
Speaker 1: know what, we should have tried to get the ball
Speaker 1: out of her hands a lot sooner. I mean, it
Speaker 1: wasn't until like a couple of minutes left in the game.
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden you lifts her all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you switch it, bro, you should have been doing.
Speaker 3: That's okay, right.
Speaker 1: Oh, so you can't let me catch you deep balls early.
Speaker 1: That so you got hell on your hands for the
Speaker 1: rest of the game.
Speaker 3: And you know, you know what's funny is, for one,
Speaker 3: they allowed her to get in the rhythm. Yes, and
Speaker 3: you know she's in the rhythm because you're pulling up
Speaker 3: from anyone that goddamned court. Once you had that type
Speaker 3: of confidence and once you rolling like that in the game,
Speaker 3: there's really nothing you can do. There's really nothing you
Speaker 3: could do except find a way to try to find
Speaker 3: a way to distinguish the fire, to put the fire out.
Speaker 3: And how do you do that? That's by trapping early,
Speaker 3: finding ways to disrupt, disrupt the timing of the offense,
Speaker 3: get in the way, play a little bit more aggressive,
Speaker 3: a little bit more aggressive than usual. But I mean
Speaker 3: they weren't able to do it. And you know, now
Speaker 3: we got but who played? Who plays next?
Speaker 1: So South Carolina? South Carolina plays North Carolina State at
Speaker 1: Iowa plays Yukon.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, Now do you have a favorite in
Speaker 3: that I in that uh in at Iowa Yukon match up.
Speaker 1: I think I will will be favored slightly, right. But
Speaker 1: the one thing, A it's hard to bet against Gino
Speaker 1: in the big game. Geno A he's gonna get it.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get his young ladies ready to play. That's
Speaker 1: one thing Gino does. And Gino and you see Gino,
Speaker 1: he made it tough. He made it tough on their
Speaker 1: best player. Juju Jia. Yeah, yeah, he made it tough.
Speaker 1: I will bless you. I'm gona trap you. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do everything I possibly can. What makes her so good
Speaker 1: is that she's still able to put the ball on
Speaker 1: the floor. She got a euro step she can step
Speaker 1: through still she could pull up, so she is she's
Speaker 1: really fundamentally sound. You can tell she's worked with a
Speaker 1: coach before. She probably trained in the offseason with a
Speaker 1: lot of guys because your game is really similar to
Speaker 1: the guys. A lot of the stuff that she does
Speaker 1: reminds you of a bail player. She was sensational, But
Speaker 1: kudos to the Iowa haw guys. They're moving on advancing
Speaker 1: to the Final four for the third time. Nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: three was the first time, twenty three was the second time.
Speaker 1: In back to back years twenty three and twenty four
Speaker 1: thanks to a hercules effort by Claitland Clark. She was
Speaker 1: thirteen of twenty nine from the field, nine of twenty
Speaker 1: from the three, six to seven from the free throw line.
Speaker 1: She had seven rebounds twelve assents. Turned the ball over,
Speaker 1: but that's to be expected because she had the ball.
Speaker 1: He played the entire forty minutes of the ball game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no rest, no rest, no rest. But they did a
Speaker 1: great job and they're advancing very well, very well deserved.
Speaker 1: And I thought the LSU and the win, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is going to be the most watched game because
Speaker 1: it was so close throughout their tired of the game.
Speaker 1: All Oys was gonna be on this game considering of
Speaker 1: what transpired last year, and I will get some measure
Speaker 1: of revenge. They come out and they win this ball
Speaker 1: game ninety four to eighty seven. They advanced to the
Speaker 1: Final four to take on the Yukon Huskies. Yukon Huskies,
Speaker 1: the number three seed, takes down the number one seed,
Speaker 1: the USC Lady Trojans by the score of eighty to
Speaker 1: seventy three. Paige Beckers twenty six, twenty eight points, ten rebounds,
Speaker 1: six assists, three steals, two blocks. She was eleven of
Speaker 1: twenty three from the floor, three of six from the
Speaker 1: three point line, three or three from the free throw line.
Speaker 1: She had twenty eight points, ten rebounds, six assists. Aliah
Speaker 1: Edwards has twenty four points, six rebounds, one assist to block.
Speaker 1: They got great contributions. Juju Watkins was nine of twenty
Speaker 1: five two or six, nine a nine from the free
Speaker 1: throw line. She had twenty nine points, ten rebounds, two assists.
Speaker 1: Forbes had twenty four points, three rebounds, three assists. I
Speaker 1: just and you could look, Oh, Joe, give Gino credit
Speaker 1: because obviously he did not want Juju to go haywy.
Speaker 1: She's more than capable of going haywire. I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: it tough. You see the percentage she shot nine of
Speaker 1: twenty five, right, I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: it tough. Great players are gonna get their numbers. Go, Joe.
Speaker 1: The likelihood of you stopping a great receiver, well he
Speaker 1: doesn't get any catches. But I gotta limit you right
Speaker 1: wherever you catch the ball, I gotta get you on
Speaker 1: the ground.
Speaker 3: Do you think it also do you think it's also
Speaker 3: about personnel? Actually having the personnel to be able to
Speaker 3: pull off some of the things you want to do
Speaker 3: and being able to stop at Caitlin Clark. If you
Speaker 3: don't have the personnel to do so, then it makes
Speaker 3: it very coaching can do that you have someone just
Speaker 3: that grit, well, you're gonna have the personnel to pull
Speaker 3: off what you need to get done.
Speaker 1: All year long, Flaje Johnson guarded the best the best
Speaker 1: perimeter player for the opposing team L s U. For
Speaker 1: some reason, Kim MOKEI said, you know what, We're gonna
Speaker 1: put Hailey van Lyft on her slower foot and she's small.
Speaker 1: Flage is not seven foot six foot tall, but she's
Speaker 1: quick footed. Mm hmm. So she's able to slide and
Speaker 1: and and and and probably disrupt her better than Haley
Speaker 1: Van Lyft could. So that sometimes you know, coaches getting
Speaker 1: their own head too, and they try to think, they
Speaker 1: try to make make things more difficult than what they
Speaker 1: need to be. Right, right, what have you been doing
Speaker 1: all year? Who's been guarding the best perimeter player for
Speaker 1: the opposing team? Flage? This game, it didn't happen. You
Speaker 1: start out with Hailey Van Lyft on her Hailey van
Speaker 1: Lift is slow. Uh, she's she's not as tall as
Speaker 1: as Flage and huh and she's been sick. She had
Speaker 1: to get an I V she's been six So let
Speaker 1: me get this right. You gotta slow small all sick first,
Speaker 1: young lady Garden Kaitlyn Clark.
Speaker 3: Right, it's all it's all about matchups. Yeah, it's all
Speaker 3: about matchups. And maybe maybe Mokey felt, maybe Mokey felt,
Speaker 3: you know, she would have been the best look and
Speaker 3: gave them the best chance having her on.
Speaker 1: Clark. How if you slow, you short, and you sick,
Speaker 1: so you got a three es it you slow, short
Speaker 1: and sick and you think you're gonna do what.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. I know one thing.
Speaker 3: It was a good, goddamn good game.
Speaker 1: It was a great game. It wasn't good. It was
Speaker 1: this is what we needed. We needed a game to
Speaker 1: be close. We needed the eyes to stay. The one
Speaker 1: thing I was like, I hope it doesn't go get
Speaker 1: blown out one way or another so the people start
Speaker 1: to leave. But I love the fact that the game
Speaker 1: stayed close throughout the entirey of the game. Kaitlyn Clark
Speaker 1: came out on the mission in the third quarter four
Speaker 1: threes in the third and I think the shortest one
Speaker 1: was probably twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Feet crazy so crazy work.
Speaker 1: But this game right here, I thought Yukon played really well.
Speaker 1: That held their posts. I thought they held their poise
Speaker 1: better than what of what USC did. I thought, because
Speaker 1: there's some shots that that Juju missed early in the game,
Speaker 1: those were walking apart. Those are walking apart. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about point blank. She left a couple of them short.
Speaker 1: She back ironed a couple of them, and I think
Speaker 1: I think Nerds kind of got the best of them.
Speaker 1: Yukon girls have been at least page and I'm excited
Speaker 1: for Paige because she's had two gruesome injuries and for
Speaker 1: her to come back and fight through those and to
Speaker 1: play at the level in which he's playing at. I
Speaker 1: was happy to see that. But give you Ukon credit.
Speaker 1: I mean, this old hat for them, bo Joe. They
Speaker 1: this is what they normally do.
Speaker 3: Listen, matter of fact, speaking of Yukon, there's a young
Speaker 3: lady and I'm not good with last names, but she's
Speaker 3: the five. She's a five for UKN And yes, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're talking about the one that had the color
Speaker 1: multicover hair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, was she tough one, Yeah, she tough. I'm not
Speaker 3: I was going to have to have an answer for that.
Speaker 3: Well she was tough, wor yeah in the post off.
Speaker 1: The dribble, but she she was tough.
Speaker 3: And when when she when she went downhill, Oh she
Speaker 3: coming downhill?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and that's what you have to have.
Speaker 1: I mean, the thing is is that I would I
Speaker 1: doesn't have a really like an inside presence. What they
Speaker 1: go to and can get buckets. Now they got guys,
Speaker 1: you know, they do a great job of screening and
Speaker 1: rolling to the basket. Uh, they'll catch you their back door,
Speaker 1: your things like that. But Elia Edwards can post up.
Speaker 1: And see this is where I thought that LSU would
Speaker 1: have the advantage because they have a Nissa Marl who
Speaker 1: can post. They have uh, they have angels who can post.
Speaker 3: Who can post up.
Speaker 1: But when you get to you gotta take your time.
Speaker 1: And I think, I thought, I thought, And that's in
Speaker 1: that situation, angel and a Nissa. I thought. They rushed
Speaker 1: a lot of shots. They knew help was coming, and
Speaker 1: so I got to get here before the help gets there,
Speaker 1: and they rush them. Russ rushed some shots and got
Speaker 1: those up which weren't very good looks, and he's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you got the ball down there, just take your time,
Speaker 1: make him file you if you're necessary, if necessary. But
Speaker 1: I just thought that once Angel tweaked that ankle, she
Speaker 1: didn't have the lift, she didn't have the confidence. I mean,
Speaker 1: she was out there, but she really she was just
Speaker 1: out there in presence because she was an Angel. That
Speaker 1: was that dog before she had that injury. Right, But
Speaker 1: you can give you con credit. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: this might be one of Gino's best coaching jobs. Uh.
Speaker 1: We know he can coach a lot of his young ladies.
Speaker 1: And I think Edwards, I think she said she's she's
Speaker 1: leaving to go pro. Didn't She says she's going to
Speaker 1: turn it pro and she going to the w nb A.
Speaker 1: So but bet Becker's is coming back, and you know,
Speaker 1: Gino probably give him another two or three five star
Speaker 1: recruit roots. But it's not like it normally is. It's
Speaker 1: not gotten. Young ladies are going different places now O
Speaker 1: Joe Laces, Now, yeah, you know you get a supe bird,
Speaker 1: you got it to Rosie and you got to swing
Speaker 1: cash and you got Renee Montgomery and you got uh
Speaker 1: uh Maya Moore's and you got the Breonna Stewart's and
Speaker 1: you got the Tina Charles's, and you had all these
Speaker 1: pipeline just back the back, the back, back back back.
Speaker 3: It's different now different now, it's different now. Listen that
Speaker 3: that n I al coming to play now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably probably like ten fifteen years ago. Juju
Speaker 1: probably been going to She's probably with the U Gun now.
Speaker 1: Maybe her maybe she is an l A kid, so
Speaker 1: maybe her dream was to play at USC. You know,
Speaker 1: they had the Cheryl Miller, the Pam and Paula McGee,
Speaker 1: you had Cynthia Cooper, you had Tina Thompson, you had
Speaker 1: Lisa Leslie. So you've had a pipeline of great college
Speaker 1: players that turned out. You know, Cooper was a four
Speaker 1: time champion, multiple NBA Finals MVP, wnb W NBA MVP.
Speaker 1: So they've had great lineage. But they've won two national championships.
Speaker 1: I think they won what eighty four eighty five, I
Speaker 1: think that's when they won the championship back with Cheryl Miller,
Speaker 1: went back to back and I think Texas ended up
Speaker 1: beating with the great Colarissa Davis to come down. They
Speaker 1: was undefeated, but Yukon might be Ukon might be back,
Speaker 1: but I just think that the Lady's talent is spread,
Speaker 1: its spread. I don't think we'll ever see what Yukon
Speaker 1: used to do, where they go one hundred plus one
Speaker 1: hundred and what twelve one hundred and twenty something games
Speaker 1: undefeated Breonna Stewart, where she wins four national championships consecutive
Speaker 1: and she's three times most Outstanding Players, She's three times
Speaker 1: Women's college Basketball Player of the Year. But it was great.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see women's college basketball getting the shine
Speaker 1: and the crew that they deserve. Kaitlin Clark certainly held
Speaker 1: up her end of the deal. Now you got juju
Speaker 1: coming on. Paige Becker's was sensational. Uh. The South of
Speaker 1: the Lady game calls led by Don Staley. They don't
Speaker 1: have a name, you know, Cardoza, Uh six seven, I
Speaker 1: think she's six seven, six eight, the big that's in
Speaker 1: the middle. She decided that she's gonna go pro for
Speaker 1: a while. What's the what's the point guard name for
Speaker 1: Wawie Forla Wawie. Yeah, she since said she's a freshman.
Speaker 1: But the one thing we know Don don can coach.
Speaker 1: Now she's gonna have him ready and hey, they play
Speaker 1: inside out. Guys knocked down shots, and that's what LSU
Speaker 1: didn't do a great job of night. They have knocked
Speaker 1: down their open shops when they had the opportunity to.
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, yes, I don't know the freshman who
Speaker 3: runs the one. She's the one. She the point for
Speaker 3: South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Yeah boy.
Speaker 3: For WAWE, Hey boy, she a real deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah she got hammle.
Speaker 3: She's she's exciting. Yeah, that's that's the box office. When
Speaker 3: you pay seventy five dollars whatever ticket costs ye to
Speaker 3: go watch a woman's college game, that's what you're paying
Speaker 3: your money for. She's exciting.
Speaker 1: So page Becker's finished with a team high twenty eight points,
Speaker 1: ten rebounds, six cents, three steals, two blocks. She notched
Speaker 1: her seventh straight twenty point performance. Yukon has been impressive
Speaker 1: this tournament. Not only have the Husky over become lack
Speaker 1: of depth, but they're passing have been fun to watch,
Speaker 1: and you know what Gino does the guys they have
Speaker 1: to be unselfish. So at four tournament games, Yukon has
Speaker 1: seventy three assists on one hundred and thirteen made shots,
Speaker 1: So that means they're moving the ball. So guess what
Speaker 1: Yukon Kaitlin Clark, South Carolina in C State. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be great in C State. Got both men's and women
Speaker 1: into the Final four.
Speaker 3: In the final four, yep, hey, wait, wait wait when
Speaker 3: when is the South Carolina game?
Speaker 1: Next week? Friday night?
Speaker 3: Oh? Next? Okay, Okay, we gotta wait, man, we gotta wait.
Speaker 1: Yeaham, Yeah, they played last they played yesterday. They won
Speaker 1: seventy to fifty eight. So you got Yukon going for
Speaker 1: their twelfth national title. Gino advanced to his twenty third
Speaker 1: Final four. Caitlyn Clark. The viewership has been astronomical, I
Speaker 1: think because of Kaitlyn Clark, because of page backers, and
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, they were on the USA Under
Speaker 1: nineteen team that won the goal. Huskier tried for their
Speaker 1: first national championship since twenty sixteen. Kaitlyn Clark were cole
Speaker 1: Freshman of the Year back in twenty twenty one. They
Speaker 1: met in San Antonio for the Sweet sixteen. That year,
Speaker 1: Yukon won ninety two seventy two. But this is a
Speaker 1: very different Kaitlyn Clark.
Speaker 3: Now, this is very different.
Speaker 1: This is this is not this is not your this
Speaker 1: is not your your brother's sister. Kaitlin Clark. She a
Speaker 1: full grown woman now and she let that fact God.
Speaker 3: Speaking of did you hear about the offer ice Cube
Speaker 3: offered her to come playing a Big Three for five million?
Speaker 1: Yep? For what? I mean? Why did i Q need
Speaker 1: to do that?
Speaker 2: For what?
Speaker 1: What did he hope to commerce with that? I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: you just you just said it. You just said it yourself.
Speaker 3: So she's what she's brought to the game, What she's
Speaker 3: brought to the Gamehow.
Speaker 1: She wants to compete against somebody her skills said? Come on,
Speaker 1: bro so for so, if a team offered the woman
Speaker 1: seventy five million to come play in the NFL, she
Speaker 1: should take it. Why not? Listen, you have a question?
Speaker 3: Would she ever make five million in the w n
Speaker 3: B A.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter, oh shoe. Everything can't be about the money.
Speaker 1: Why would she go? Why would she go compete against
Speaker 1: someone that she can't win? Again? Every every wait, everything
Speaker 1: shouldn't be about why why not? Why not offer Asia Wilson?
Speaker 1: Why not offer somebody else? Why not there? Why Caitlyn Clark?
Speaker 1: I have a question, who's moving the needle? Who's moving
Speaker 1: the needle?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Now, oh, show this, Come on, now, don't do me
Speaker 1: like that shoe. Who's moving? Who's moving? Moving the NEEDLEO?
Speaker 1: She moving the needle. So so you want to be
Speaker 1: talking about to be talking about it? Do you want
Speaker 1: her to go compete against grown men? You know, you
Speaker 1: want her to compete against grown men? And say simple
Speaker 1: yes or a simple note. And I think there's the
Speaker 1: reason why they have women's leads. There's a reason why
Speaker 1: they have the w t A and the a TV
Speaker 1: and the Professional Men's League. There's a reason out of
Speaker 1: a men's tour and a women's door. Oh Joe, I
Speaker 1: have a question. Listen, I have a question.
Speaker 3: There's a reason why ice Cube offer of the five
Speaker 3: men to come play. It's not like she's playing a
Speaker 3: whole season. She's playing a few games, just playing a
Speaker 3: few games, having, you know, having a little fun.
Speaker 1: So what you gonna do go out there and shoot
Speaker 1: the lights out against those guys, against guys grown me.
Speaker 1: So you want a woman to compete against grown men
Speaker 1: in basketball?
Speaker 3: What you're trying to say, grown, well, what you're trying
Speaker 3: to say she can't hang?
Speaker 1: No, no, she cannot hang. There's a reason why women
Speaker 1: play against in women's sports men playing with don't do that, o, Joe.
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, listen. I mean the offer was so
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I'm not sure anybody. I'm not sure anybody.
Speaker 3: You're planning the w n b A already, you're taking
Speaker 3: a pay cup based on what you make at ee.
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, if somebody off follow her, those deal will
Speaker 1: follow her. There will come endorsements. There won't be n
Speaker 1: I L deal, They will be an endorsement deals. So
Speaker 1: why don't she carry richardson rest against the mean?
Speaker 3: She could beat the few up.
Speaker 1: Now, she ain't beat in the top ten. She ain't
Speaker 1: beat the top twenty. No, no, but she ain't beat
Speaker 1: the top So why not? Why not? Oh Joe, eyeballs
Speaker 1: is gonna bring eyeballs. You won't eyeballs for why not?
Speaker 3: Listen? I'm just asking you a question.
Speaker 1: Come on, don't do that. I hate the ice. Q
Speaker 1: did that because he knows she's gonna turn it down,
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, there are not women are not competing
Speaker 1: against men.
Speaker 3: That's why you have been sports and women's sports. So
Speaker 3: you think you think she's gonna turn it down? Yes, okay,
Speaker 3: all right, I was just curious. I just want to
Speaker 3: hear your opinion. You got, you got, you got real passionate.
Speaker 1: About that, because there's a reason why you have Olympics,
Speaker 1: you have women's sports, you have men's sports. In tennis,
Speaker 1: you have women play women and men play men. There's
Speaker 1: a reason in track and field women don't compete against
Speaker 1: the men in what situation do you see when it's
Speaker 1: when it comes to a scale. Now, maybe if you
Speaker 1: want to play corn hole or oor shoes or something, sure,
Speaker 1: but when you're talking about well, I got to put
Speaker 1: my athleticism on display.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I'm just I just want to hear
Speaker 3: what you're gonna say. Baby, as it as it.
Speaker 1: You know, that's it, that's it. You you want to
Speaker 1: see that. I mean, oh, she in the and the
Speaker 1: and the and the uh what do you call them?
Speaker 1: So she you wanted to go down there and bang
Speaker 1: with Kenya Martin and baby why not? Yeah, that's who.
Speaker 3: Want to But for once, she ain't gonna be in
Speaker 3: the post anyway. What you gonna be up from twenty
Speaker 3: seven twenty nine feet out?
Speaker 1: You do know they guard you know, three on three,
Speaker 1: So the condensed you do realize that, right, So it
Speaker 1: ain't a whole lot of space. Where you going?
Speaker 3: All right? I got your baby, you got it.
Speaker 1: Next up, this is our first segment of the day.
Speaker 1: We got a news cap. Yeah, Jerry Rice did not
Speaker 1: have to thank too hard. When asked which defensive back
Speaker 1: presented him the toughest matchup during his Hall of Fame career,
Speaker 1: Deion sanders Right said, the battles went back to the
Speaker 1: day even when he was in Atlanta, also in Dallas,
Speaker 1: and it was minoi mono, and I was primed in
Speaker 1: and I prepared myself for that all the reps during
Speaker 1: the week. I wanted to take all those reps. I
Speaker 1: wanted to be able to have a game plan going
Speaker 1: in that if we're going to face the best, you
Speaker 1: better have a game plan, and I wanted to initiate.
Speaker 1: I was not gonna wait for him to bring it
Speaker 1: to me, so I was gonna attack him right from
Speaker 1: the start. You know my route running with double moves.
Speaker 1: Even if we were running the place, I was sprinting
Speaker 1: sixty yards down the field. Another BDDB came after Prime,
Speaker 1: and that was also a fast guy. That was Darryl Green.
Speaker 1: He was real fast. You have to have a game
Speaker 1: plan when you have to come up to the line.
Speaker 1: You got to get off against their base on the
Speaker 1: snap of the ball, and you have to have the
Speaker 1: greatest coach ever, Bill Walsh to tell me you have
Speaker 1: to win at the line of scrimmage. And that's what
Speaker 1: I was able to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, most definitely, I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 3: Listen. We we equate greatness and success, feeling that if
Speaker 3: you can run in a straight line really fast, it
Speaker 3: equates to you being a great player. But that's not
Speaker 3: what it does. The fact that Prime was able to
Speaker 3: put it all together. Yes, he was able to put
Speaker 3: it all together. And Jerry Rice knew exactly what he
Speaker 3: had to do to counter that. So if you are fast,
Speaker 3: what I have to do is make you uncomfortable as
Speaker 3: fast as possible, not playing around the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 3: picking a side and get going and putting the pressure
Speaker 3: on you, putting the onus on you to make a
Speaker 3: decision on what you want to do. And Jerry, Jerry
Speaker 3: was great at that. Obviously, Jerry one of the greatest
Speaker 3: route runners of all time.
Speaker 1: Jerry's Jerry Rice is rock.
Speaker 3: Running belongs in the lavour in the Lavuur Museum out there.
Speaker 1: Law you said, I to move and the louver. The louver.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, let me get you culture, you real culture, okay,
Speaker 3: But yes, his route running was phenomenal back then, very detailed,
Speaker 3: very precise.
Speaker 1: He always his death.
Speaker 3: The way he set people up, it was beautiful.
Speaker 1: It was beautiful.
Speaker 3: So I understand exactly what you're talking about. And I've
Speaker 3: watched those clips with him. I watched Jerry rice Is
Speaker 3: one on ones. I watched all the clips with him
Speaker 3: and and Dion going at it, you know, and the
Speaker 3: battles were phenomenal. Sometimes Jerry got him, sometimes he got Jerry,
Speaker 3: which which is what made it so great, so great
Speaker 3: to watch man.
Speaker 1: But ah, man, he was.
Speaker 3: He was an artist.
Speaker 1: Without winning a line of scrimmage. I mean, you're done
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. You've got to win at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, because that's that's Oh Joe the quarterback
Speaker 1: ain't got fifteen pro the ball.
Speaker 3: No he doesn't, he doesn't. He doesn't quarterback. I think
Speaker 3: one of the things that a lot of a lot
Speaker 3: of people, a lot of receivers make mistakes, and some
Speaker 3: of the coaches that have them, especially during the off season,
Speaker 3: you need to understand your personnel. You need to understand
Speaker 3: your DNA. You need to understand your makeup and your
Speaker 3: skill set. You know, if you if you ain't got
Speaker 3: that sauce in you, you don't need to be doing
Speaker 3: that sauce type ship. Yeah, you know, you need to
Speaker 3: understand what you're good at, find your niche and get
Speaker 3: from point A to point B fast as possible. Everybody
Speaker 3: can't be Davantae Adams at the line. Everybody can't be
Speaker 3: God damn Keenan Allen, you know, and one and then
Speaker 3: you know, you find what you do good and figure
Speaker 3: out how to get from point A to point B
Speaker 3: within the timing of the offense so you can be
Speaker 3: efficient every goddamn time. Everybody trying to.
Speaker 1: You know, s got you the point now everybody want
Speaker 1: to look good running around, so it ain't nobody catching
Speaker 1: the ball. Broyard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're wasting time.
Speaker 1: First of all, time you had and did you yeah this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, holding pumping the ball. People need to I mean players,
Speaker 3: receivers need to understand all the all those tricks and
Speaker 3: those heazy's and those those are changing.
Speaker 1: Those are change ups.
Speaker 3: That's when you have to run the same route maybe
Speaker 3: for the third time, then you change it up. By
Speaker 3: throwing the heavy or or or decelerated a little bit,
Speaker 3: just to give him some different give them the losion
Speaker 3: that you're doing something different even though it's still the
Speaker 3: same route. They coming, They doing the tricks off, jump off, jump. No,
Speaker 3: the first time you run the route, it should be
Speaker 3: full speed into your death and you got the ball
Speaker 3: ready for the ball? Yes, yeah, come, maybe comes second,
Speaker 3: maybe come second, third quarter that DV notice or he
Speaker 3: in the same line, He in the same alignment. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: that means maybe the same route is coming again. Now
Speaker 3: you want to come off the line a little bit,
Speaker 3: maybe heavy, give him the freeze a little bit, then
Speaker 3: burst again. Right boom, run the same route, right, you
Speaker 3: got this. It's so many different ways to skin a
Speaker 3: cat with the same route. But they coming in with
Speaker 3: all the tricks right off.
Speaker 1: Well, that's when you're not really you're not secure in
Speaker 1: your route running skills, and you feel you got to
Speaker 1: do all that hurthy jerky stuff. Now mind you, ojo.
Speaker 1: My thought process up was when I ran a route.
Speaker 1: I'm running a route, but I know I got seven
Speaker 1: eight variations off the same route, so I need I need,
Speaker 1: I need to keep that stem and I need to
Speaker 1: make the scene, and all of a sudden, I got
Speaker 1: it out. I got a basic cross, I got a hook,
Speaker 1: I got all that, I got a seven. I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta make everything. I got choice, I got options.
Speaker 1: I gotta make everything on that stem. So I'm releasing now.
Speaker 1: Eventually I'm gonna release. I'm gonna take like two or
Speaker 1: three give me that right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, when we I'm so glad we
Speaker 3: talked about route. One of one of the things I hate.
Speaker 3: One of the things I hate when when a when
Speaker 3: a dB is playing off, everything should be in a
Speaker 3: straight line. Yeah, everything, Everything should be in a straight line.
Speaker 3: I hate when receivers ver inside or very outside, because
Speaker 3: if you got a good dB, all he gonna do
Speaker 3: is just we with you. He gonna weed whichever where
Speaker 3: you're going. And if you weave it, if you leaning
Speaker 3: inside coming off the ball, all he doing is weaving
Speaker 3: right there, making sure he maintained his leverage, and he's
Speaker 3: always in position to break on the ball. Just run straight,
Speaker 3: Just run straight, and step on his fucking toes. Take
Speaker 3: the tricks out the game. All this you know, wiggling
Speaker 3: and all man forget all that man expects me to
Speaker 3: get to the next level, you're gonna get exposed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, I think the thing is, oh joy,
Speaker 1: you need to be working on that stuff in practice,
Speaker 1: you know, because a lot of times I would work
Speaker 1: on stuff in practice and Dedrick Johne Tony feeling riddy Brad.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, bro, so what you say that day?
Speaker 1: Like sharp? I can tell you getting ready to break
Speaker 1: because you got on your toes. Yeah, okay, fine, I
Speaker 1: hate him with that, damn. But I hey, I ain't.
Speaker 1: I was seen that rob before. So I'm constantly getting Hey,
Speaker 1: give me feedback, give me feedback because o jo, I
Speaker 1: know this hair. Guys that see me in O t A,
Speaker 1: they saw me in training camp, they see me every
Speaker 1: day of practice. If they have a difficult difficult time
Speaker 1: covering me, you got no chance watching me on tape
Speaker 1: on tape, right, yeah, you got you got no chance.
Speaker 1: And so I'm I'm doing Hey, I'm I'm thinking all
Speaker 1: the time. I'm keeping that stem. Now I know you,
Speaker 1: Oh I got an hour rap this time, But you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to tell when I run that
Speaker 1: scene because it's gonna look the same mm hmm.
Speaker 3: That's that's something that that's something that I had that
Speaker 3: I learned from the veteran the veteran dbs that were
Speaker 3: there at the time when I when I was in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: Remember Jeff burrst Remember Jeff burr Yeah, yeah, Jeff Burrs, Tory,
Speaker 3: James delth O'Neill. You remember you remember, I know you remember.
Speaker 1: He was Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I had I had a problem when I
Speaker 3: come out to huddle. I always grabbed my glove and
Speaker 3: when the boss coming to me, I restrapped. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: restrapped my things right before snapped the ball and I
Speaker 3: my gloves.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 3: Jeff Burrd said, Hey, a young fella, you know every
Speaker 3: time you're getting ready to get.
Speaker 1: That ball, you know what you do? Right? I say,
Speaker 1: you for real? How you notice that?
Speaker 3: Because I'm paying attention every time you come to the line,
Speaker 3: and I know it's a past. I know it's a
Speaker 3: pass play because you get to line. And when when
Speaker 3: it's not a pass play, you don't do nothing. They
Speaker 3: look at everything and everything.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, God, damn boy, the hell you notice that? Oh? Joe?
Speaker 1: I used to have a I used to do a
Speaker 1: thing like when I was catching the past, I was
Speaker 1: like Hey, we got a flyer over here. He's sitting light.
Speaker 1: I'm going out for a pass. Oh he had it.
Speaker 1: He blocking. It's a rub plays.
Speaker 3: When you say you talk about a little closer to
Speaker 3: the top, I ain't put my hand all the way
Speaker 3: down on the dirt because I need to I need
Speaker 3: to be able to get up out of there. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 3: ip heavy, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: So now, hey, you gotta switch it up.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: You know you know who? You know who else?
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn Glynn is demonsve coordinated with Detroit right now, right,
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn caught me when I was a youngster. I
Speaker 3: think he might have been with the Jets. I think
Speaker 3: he was either with the Jets or maybe the Texans,
Speaker 3: I can't remember. And he knew and it was a
Speaker 3: pass play, he told me the third quarter. You know,
Speaker 3: I know the ball coming to you. Every time when
Speaker 3: you come out the huddle, you come out too exciting
Speaker 3: and you're smiling. You got a mouthful of gold smiling.
Speaker 3: And when it's a run play, you walk out the huddle.
Speaker 3: So when it was a pass play, I would come
Speaker 3: out all excited. I ain't had no clue I don't
Speaker 3: think someone like that is paying it. He's watching everything,
Speaker 3: and he was right.
Speaker 1: He was right.
Speaker 3: Every time it's the pass play. I come out of
Speaker 3: the huddle, excited, get to the line, same shit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: do like this and type my gloves because the ball
Speaker 3: even I'm just saying, it's the path play at the ball,
Speaker 3: whether the ball was coming or not. And he key
Speaker 3: that and he's he's not even playing on my team.
Speaker 3: He just seen me and noticed that throughout the game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you get the TV copy. We would get the TV
Speaker 3: copy because you could hear them saying this.
Speaker 1: Reno played the Chargers. Every time they go to Reno
Speaker 1: or Vegas and they check the cover two, no matter
Speaker 1: what the formation, they would check the cover two. I said, Coach,
Speaker 1: I told Mike. I said, Mike, every time we come out,
Speaker 1: we come out in this empty set, they check it.
Speaker 1: They go in to cover two. He's like, are you sure,
Speaker 1: I said, every time, he's saying Vegas. So he said,
Speaker 1: Reno thirteen for a buff fifty three and three tubs.
Speaker 1: Keep on talking, Let me keep on talking. I'll let
Speaker 1: me hear you here. I don't I done hurt, I
Speaker 1: done saw it. I don't listen to the TV copy
Speaker 1: and you doing the exact same thing. Okay, thing right,
Speaker 1: hey coch, this is what they do with m hm.
Speaker 1: Well you must have been killing them right up the scene.
Speaker 1: Huh hit them. I would do it everything. I oh oh,
Speaker 1: I was nasty with it that day. O yo, oh,
Speaker 1: I helpe. They put me outside. I ran on the dB.
Speaker 1: I ran a slug on him. Yeah he bet.
Speaker 3: Yeah you hey, you must have been y'all must have
Speaker 3: been inside of thirty probably inside of thirty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was about twenty yards.
Speaker 3: I knew it.
Speaker 1: I know he was gonna try.
Speaker 3: I know he's gonna try to jump that slant, especially
Speaker 3: that close in because he's not expecting you to go deep.
Speaker 1: I ran that. I said, oh you coming right there,
Speaker 1: Well let me go, let me take it up to wait.
Speaker 1: You gave the eyes to oh oh he biting that.
Speaker 3: He if you if you put them eyes in there,
Speaker 3: like the ball coming he coming, especially you get a
Speaker 3: aggressive corner, it's a tight.
Speaker 1: End because he up he cluing And when I went inside,
Speaker 1: John did this, Oh he right.
Speaker 3: There, gotty, let's go.
Speaker 1: I like it. That was That was the beginning of
Speaker 1: the end. It was all down here after that uh oh, Joe,
Speaker 1: check this out. Brock Purty nearly double his salary due
Speaker 1: to a bonus from NFL Performance based paid. Maybe you've
Speaker 1: heard about me this before, but brock Purty was mister
Speaker 1: irrelevant in the NFL draft. As such, his base salary
Speaker 1: this season's eight hundre it is seventy thousand dollars. When
Speaker 1: the NFL announced its performance based bonuses on Monday, it
Speaker 1: was a pretty big deal of party because Party made
Speaker 1: seven more than seven hundred and thirty nine thousand dollars
Speaker 1: in bonus program, about eighty five percent bump from his
Speaker 1: base regular season salary. The end of the leader in
Speaker 1: bonus play was Baltimore's guard John Simpson, the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, who made nine hundred seventy four thousand,
Speaker 1: six hundred and thirteen dollars. Simpsons started all nighted. Simpsons
Speaker 1: started seventeen games and played ninety nine percent of the
Speaker 1: team's offensive snaps.
Speaker 3: That's live, hey lip them, in centives them and centives
Speaker 3: come in come in handy. They come in handy, and
Speaker 3: that there are a lot of horror story chat. There
Speaker 3: are a lot of horror stories when players are going
Speaker 3: to hit in centives, and you know, the business is
Speaker 3: so dirty, they've been known to pull players out. They've
Speaker 3: been known to pull players out there still playing time
Speaker 3: to make sure they don't hit those incentives. There are
Speaker 3: many stories of it. I can't I can't remember any
Speaker 3: off the top of my head, but I heard the
Speaker 3: gripes inside the locker room a few times.
Speaker 1: That's why you don't put incentives in there, because they
Speaker 1: can control that. But the way I look at it,
Speaker 1: O Yoke, Let's just say you a wide receiver and
Speaker 1: you make it thirty million dollars, shouldn't you lead the
Speaker 1: team in receptions? Shouldn't you lead the team in touchdowns?
Speaker 1: Shouldn't you go to the Pro Bowl? So if I
Speaker 1: got if I'm paying you thirty million, and I still
Speaker 1: got to incentivize you to go something wrong, we do it,
Speaker 1: something wrong.
Speaker 3: With Joe, right right, right, right right. So I'm with
Speaker 3: you when you're right.
Speaker 1: Did you have any incentives in your contract? You know
Speaker 1: what I believe?
Speaker 3: So I believe, so I'm I'm There were some things
Speaker 3: that were incentive based, not that I really needed them,
Speaker 3: but I was able to hit them every time. I
Speaker 3: was able to hit him every time. So I always
Speaker 3: had that extra not that that incentive really drove me
Speaker 3: to do anything, you know, miraculous. I was already motivated
Speaker 3: in general, just in because I always put the pressure
Speaker 3: on myself and did all that god damn talking. So
Speaker 3: I had no choice but to show up right, you know.
Speaker 3: So the centers really didn't matter, so but I hit
Speaker 3: them every time.
Speaker 1: Early in my career. I mean, you know, seventh round
Speaker 1: draft pick, they threw anything. Hey, well you want this,
Speaker 1: you want to lead the league in part returns? Here
Speaker 1: we give you all the fouver. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I think I loved I was you played punt return.
Speaker 1: I was on punk return, not as a returner, but
Speaker 1: oh god damn did it all? I led the team.
Speaker 1: I was second one year in tackles. I led the
Speaker 1: special teams and tackle. My second year I led the team.
Speaker 1: And but back then, Ojoe, I mean, I think I
Speaker 1: got fifteen thousand dollars from leading the team in receptions.
Speaker 1: It's crazy how the money has changed. Huh. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: you got to realize on jo that year, I think
Speaker 1: I only made two hundred and twenty thousand, so fifteen thousand.
Speaker 1: Holdly you chopped that in half Uncle Sam taking half
Speaker 1: of that. Huh, No, I would. I wouldn't quite often
Speaker 1: say I may quite get half of it. But he
Speaker 1: got a knight lookle.
Speaker 3: Chump, you know, And that's that's crazy. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Bears GM Ryan Pole jokes he wished Justin Fields was
Speaker 1: a jerk to make the trade easier. Let's take a
Speaker 1: listen to what he had to say on the p
Speaker 1: MAC show, Pat McAfee.
Speaker 3: Here we go at the bullshit again in terms of
Speaker 3: hard decisions.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, uh, his jersey is up, you know in our house,
Speaker 4: it's my my son was Justin Fields for Halloween.
Speaker 1: So I always talk today.
Speaker 4: So those those conversations are tough. So I get from
Speaker 4: the fan base why that's a difficult thing. But again
Speaker 4: it's my job to really look at the short term
Speaker 4: and the long term and set our organization up for success.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: So, to make a long story short, Justin Fields is
Speaker 1: a great teammate, he's a great locker room presence, he's
Speaker 1: a great guy. He's just not good enough a quarterback
Speaker 1: for us to keep it over. Caleb Williams of what
Speaker 1: he's saying is that what you took.
Speaker 3: That's all.
Speaker 1: That's all.
Speaker 3: That's all it means. Listen, we don't think you're the future.
Speaker 3: We don't think you're the right person for us. Even
Speaker 3: though you're a nice guy. I wish you were a
Speaker 3: jerk because it would have made it easier for.
Speaker 1: Me to trade you.
Speaker 3: But they have to do what's in the best interest
Speaker 3: for our organization long term. We just don't think you're
Speaker 3: the right fit or good enough to do it right.
Speaker 3: That's that's all that means.
Speaker 1: Because even if you pat your homes and you a jerk,
Speaker 1: I ain't trading you at all. But you like you're
Speaker 1: a great guy. So that's the thing. If you're a
Speaker 1: great guy and you can't play, they're not gonna keep you.
Speaker 1: You could be a jerk as long as you could
Speaker 1: play with yours. And that's the thing, man, Caleb Willie,
Speaker 1: what them guys in the locker room gonna think what
Speaker 1: Caleb Well is coming with paint and nails. Can you play?
Speaker 1: That's it? Can you play?
Speaker 3: That's all it comes down to. That's all it come down.
Speaker 3: And the one thing at a lot of people are
Speaker 3: gonna try to try to harp on it. Justin Fields
Speaker 3: can play, Yes, he can play. I just think him
Speaker 3: being in the right situation, and I think he has that.
Speaker 3: Sitting the year behind Russ, he has that, and I
Speaker 3: think he's going to be the future for the Steelers,
Speaker 3: you know, and Russell Wills is going to move on
Speaker 3: and get another big payday somewhere else after he showcases
Speaker 3: what he still has that I know he still has.
Speaker 3: And I'm excited. I'm excited for Justin Fields. I'm excited
Speaker 3: for Kayla Williams and what he's going to do in Chicago.
Speaker 3: And I'm curious what they're going to do. The Bears
Speaker 3: have two early picks or on my tripping, and I.
Speaker 1: Got one in nine that they have Carolina pick, which
Speaker 1: is one, and their own thick I think is nine.
Speaker 3: I want to see what they do at nine. I
Speaker 3: want to see what they do at nine, because it's
Speaker 3: gonna be it's gonna be a lot of a lot
Speaker 3: of talent at nine. Still left on the board a lot.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'll be willing to trade back. I got my quarterback.
Speaker 1: If I can, if I can accumulate more assets, because
Speaker 1: they're not one player away, Ojoe, They're not one player away.
Speaker 1: So if I could, if I could trade out of
Speaker 1: nine and move back and maybe Okay, go back to fifteen,
Speaker 1: go back to fourteen, fifteen and get maybe a second
Speaker 1: round pick or a third rounder. Yeah, I'll do that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You can find a gym. Yeah, you can find a gym.
Speaker 3: You can find a gym in the second and third round.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's gonna be that'll be very interesting. So
Speaker 1: that's what he said. That's what I deduced by what
Speaker 1: he said. Justin Fields is a great person, he's a
Speaker 1: great player. My son had his jersey. He addressed to him,
Speaker 1: if jersey is up in our home for Halloween, my
Speaker 1: son was him. But the quarterback, we will just listen.
Speaker 3: It's all smoking mirrors, no different than John Marra talbout. Oh.
Speaker 3: He was sick the saying, come on, come on, come on,
Speaker 3: come on, owners, come on, GMS. It's okay to be honest.
Speaker 3: Just be honest, just come out.
Speaker 1: And Side released their power ranking of every number one
Speaker 1: overall draft pick of the twentieth century. Eli Manning was
Speaker 1: number one. He was originally drafted by the Chargers, but
Speaker 1: some ssequently traded to the New York Jet Giants. Miles
Speaker 1: Garrett was number two, Matthew Stafford was number three, Cam
Speaker 1: Newt was number four, and ralling out the top five
Speaker 1: with Andrew Love. Joe Burrow was six, Michael Big was seven,
Speaker 1: Mario Williams was eight, Cousin Palmer was nine, and Jerry
Speaker 1: Garth was ten. The bottom five thus far, Bryce Young,
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, Courtney Brown, David Carr, last but not least,
Speaker 1: JaMarcus Russell.
Speaker 3: Russell, Hey, I think you know what I don't like?
Speaker 3: So is this ranking supposed to be from the best
Speaker 3: number one to the least best?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, I don't like the Jameis Winston one being
Speaker 3: that low. Okay, because Jameis Winston's had some really really
Speaker 3: good years in Tampa. He had some really really good years.
Speaker 3: Now people will harp on the interception problems, but he
Speaker 3: had some really good years.
Speaker 1: Five thousand yards one year he was Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: These are some good ones, though, These are some good ones.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, I think people in your in your terms,
Speaker 3: do you is it?
Speaker 1: Is it fair?
Speaker 3: I don't even like using the word bus? Are there
Speaker 3: any bus in this group?
Speaker 1: To expectations? Okay?
Speaker 3: How about that?
Speaker 1: I like that?
Speaker 3: I like that better. That's for for for lack of
Speaker 3: better words, anyone on here didn't live up the expectations.
Speaker 1: Well, obviously, JaMarcus Russell didn't, David Carr didn't, Courtney Brown didn't.
Speaker 3: David Carr David Carr situation, but wasn't fair at all.
Speaker 3: I think, what what you got sacked a hundred times
Speaker 3: in two games.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying, right, Bryce Young, the jury
Speaker 1: is still out. Sam Bradford. Sam Brafford held a lot
Speaker 1: of teams hostage as far as pay, because here's the thing,
Speaker 1: oh Joe, when you go number one overall, you're supposed
Speaker 1: to be a multiple many many times right pro bowler,
Speaker 1: all Pro player. At a quarterback, you're supposed to like
Speaker 1: be franchised to fighting, like get your team in the playoffs, consistently,
Speaker 1: potentially make a deep playoff run, and eventually get to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Right when you get numbered with that,
Speaker 1: that's the expectations of the quarterback and that when he
Speaker 1: goes number one overall.
Speaker 3: So that's tough, though, that's tough. Some of the situations
Speaker 3: those quarterbacks went into. It would be tough to do that.
Speaker 3: You would have to be an elite, an elite talent
Speaker 3: at the position to change everything around you. As far
Speaker 3: as a franchise when everything else around you is somewhat
Speaker 3: of the weak link if.
Speaker 1: You look at it. Eli won two Super Bowls. Miles
Speaker 1: Gatt has been a Defensive Player of the Year. Cam
Speaker 1: Newton was an MVP, took a team to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford won a Super Bowl. Andrew Luck had a
Speaker 1: phenomenal career, but it took too many hits, had to
Speaker 1: retire early. Joe Burrow has gone to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Jared Golf has taken a team to the Super Bowl. Mmmm.
Speaker 1: That's about it, Joe.
Speaker 3: Really, you know, everybody's lived up to the hype to
Speaker 3: the best of their abilities, except a few select I
Speaker 3: don't know if Eric Fisher.
Speaker 1: Did Eric Fisher ever make a Pro Bowl? If he did,
Speaker 1: I think he made one. Sam Bradford.
Speaker 3: Wait, Eric Eric Fisher.
Speaker 1: He was a officer, He was a tackle. The Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chief drafted him number one overall. He went number one,
Speaker 1: and then Luke Jokel went number two to Jacksonville. He
Speaker 1: went two Pro Bowls. Where's Eric Fisher now? He's not
Speaker 1: out of the league. Damn mm hmm. He won a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He remember he won the Super He was
Speaker 1: the left tackle when the Chiefs won their first Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and they went remember, they went back and he tours,
Speaker 1: he tore his achilles like the last play of the
Speaker 1: championship game, and then they ended up. They ended up.
Speaker 1: They didn't resign him, and then that was it.
Speaker 3: See how they do See how they do you when
Speaker 3: you get hurt. See how they do your Your damn
Speaker 3: is good? Yea, god, damn God, damn NFL business m
