You kind of make fun of. 14 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 5: What is that everybody's got better than us? Dad? It's cold, 15 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 5: we're complaining whenever we complain though, that's what we heard. 16 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: You take this job. Let me let me stay with 17 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,959 Speaker 2: Baltimore for a moment. How do you not take it 18 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: personally when the franchise doesn't want you anymore? 19 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 5: Yeah? I don't. Well, you do take it personally, really, 20 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 5: I mean I can't say that you don't. Everything is personal. 21 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 5: I mean life is personal. You know. We you pour 22 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 5: your heart into what you do every single day. It's 23 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 5: meaningful and it matters. And and I know that everybody 24 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 5: that we were with there, who we love in Baltimore 25 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 5: all those years, would say the same thing about what 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 5: they did or about us and everything like that. So yeah, 27 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 5: you do take it personal in a sense, because it's 28 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 5: a very personal thing. But but I wasn't offended by it. 29 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 5: It didn't it didn't make me mad, didn't make me bitter. 30 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 5: It just was disappointing. But by the same time, it's like, 31 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 5: you know what, there's a plan for life. There's a 32 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 5: purpose in life. And I believe in I believe in 33 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 5: our almighty Creator, and I believe that there's a reason 34 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 5: that things happen. And when when when when that when? 35 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 5: When the Lord above says, go, it's time to go. 36 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 5: And that's how I look at it.

We're gonna come 52 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 5: out of the We're gonna come out of the corner swinging. 53 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 5: I mean, that's what we're gonna do. I remember the 54 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 5: Hearns Hagler fight. 55 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, when Herds surprised everybody and just went all in 56 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 2: against Hagler. 57 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, three round. I think it was a t k 58 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 5: O maybe by I think Hagler won it. Maybe if 59 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 5: I remember I was. I loved Hagler. I loved Tagler. 60 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 5: Marvin if he's out there, I love him. But Tommy 61 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 5: Hearns is my guy, the you know, the MotorCity hit man, 62 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 5: Tommy Hearns man. I love Tommy Hearns. Uh.

We'll be throwing, you know, wherever 67 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 5: happens happens. 68 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: But the chips flying U tougher division, AFC North or 69 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: NFC East. 70 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 5: Uh, the AFC North has been the tougher division, you 71 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 5: know over the last eighteen years. I would say that. 72 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 5: I mean I was in it. I know it was 73 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 5: tougher going forward now in the early in the early 74 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 5: two thousands, it was then it was the NFC East. 75 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 5: I was in it. Then. You know where it's at. 76 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 5: It's wherever you're at. 77 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 3: That's the toughest divisions. 78 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 5: Wherever you live. And we'll be living in the NFC 79 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 5: East and it's a tough division. I mean, you got 80 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 5: the Eagles who have been doing what they do for 81 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 5: the last number of years. It's like Michigan Ohio State. 82 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 5: Back in the day when Bo Shimmicker took over with 83 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 5: my dad, you had to beat Ohio State if you're 84 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 5: going to be great at Michigan, and that's what they 85 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 5: did the very first year. And then the Cowboys, the Cowboys, 86 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 5: the Commanders. It's just great rivalries, incredible stadiums, huge fan bases, 87 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: nothing more. That's you. There's no more exciting division than 88 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 5: the NFC East and the New York Football Giants. You know, 89 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 5: we're in it too. So we planned to make a statement. 90 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 5: We planned to be there. We planned to show up 91 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 5: for every single game, Dan, right on time. 92 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: What was it about the Giants job that attracted you 93 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: the most? 94 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 5: I think probably, if I was being honest about it, 95 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 5: the players. The players are really important in football. You've 96 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 5: got to have players, great players as a players game. 97 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 5: It always has been a player's game. It always will 98 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 5: be a player's game. Great coaches have taught me that 99 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 5: over the years. 100 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: So, but having that franchise quarterback, how important was that? 101 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: If you're you're surveying the situation here of all the openings, 102 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: how important was it that you had Jackson Dark? 103 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, start with the quarterback. I mean, the players started 104 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 5: with the quarterback. You build a team around the quarterback. 105 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 5: That I looked at that, Like the first thing I 106 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 5: did was look at all the quarterbacks. And there are 107 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 5: some good quarterbacks on these teams, But Jackson was the 108 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 5: guy that really excited me when I saw them now 109 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 5: even more so being around them every day we were 110 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 5: in here, we were in here last night, he was 111 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 5: hanging out, he's working out. I think he worked out 112 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 5: at nine o'clock. So, uh, I saw him around the 113 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 5: building and talk some ball with him. 114 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: So is great what's the best piece of coaching advice 115 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: your dad gave you. 116 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 5: Uh, the best piece of a coaching advice our dad 117 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 5: gave us.

S. I and all this stuff, you know. 340 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 8: So that's so so anyway, so we'll we'll find we 341 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 8: have not yet covered that story in prime time. However, 342 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 8: I'm sure there will be a moment that that comes up, 343 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 8: and if the situation arises, will deal with it as sneak. 344 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: What's your second favorite scandal going on right now? Controversy? 345 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: Was that or the judging from the ice dancing? 346 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 8: I know you were bothered by the Spanish placement and 347 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 8: the French judge and all that, you know, So. 348 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 6: It's funny, Dad. 349 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 8: So as you know, we've got an amazing research team 350 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 8: that's part of the Olympic unit, and we have they're 351 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 8: younger than we are. We're older. We watched the Olympics, 352 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 8: going back to Jim McKay and all that. 353 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 6: So I was talking about it last night as we 354 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 6: were going through. 355 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 8: Yes, the French judge and the placement of the Spanish 356 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 8: judge in the ice dancing. Do you remember the old 357 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 8: days when it would have the country and the scores 358 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 8: would come up the German judge, the Russian judge, and 359 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 8: you know, the whole term of the Russian judge giving 360 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 8: a bad score was kind of the lingo for some time. 361 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 8: And now we've gotten away from that, right because you 362 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 8: have this artistic score and the grade of execution and 363 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 8: Johnny we are at Tara Lepinsky explained it all the 364 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 8: time and I'm still trying to get my arms around 365 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 8: understanding it properly. 366 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 6: But it's still there. And that was a big drama 367 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 6: in the judging. 368 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 8: The high and the low score got thrown out because 369 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 8: there was natural bias in there, and with ice dancing, 370 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 8: everybody says there's gonna be bias from countries. It's political. 371 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 8: We understand that going in. I'm like, what do you 372 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 8: mean you understand that going in? And then the two 373 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 8: top teams, the US team that finished the runner up, 374 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 8: Chalk and Baits. They train with the same coaches as 375 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 8: the French team and they train in the same place. 376 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 8: So can you imagine the Seahawks and the Patriots training 377 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 8: in the same place, coached by the same people, and 378 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 8: then meeting in the Super Bowl. It's like hard to 379 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 8: get your arms around that. So that's that's the other 380 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 8: favorite controversy so far from me. 381 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 2: Now, help me understand the quad god and helium mountin. 382 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: But Debbie Thomas did this flip many many many years 383 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: ago and then they outlawed that. 384 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 6: Correct the backflip you're talking about. 385 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that was Now it's back in so Ilium. 386 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 6: Mallinin has that. 387 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 8: Did it in his short program, will likely include it 388 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 8: in his long program tonight, in addition to the four 389 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 8: revolutions in the air and Scott Hamilton, who's working with 390 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 8: me so he'll be on the set with me when 391 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 8: that's on live this afternoon. As Scott was showing me 392 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 8: just how Ilias starts his rotations in his jumps right 393 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 8: from the beginning. It used to be got up in 394 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 8: the air and then started rotating, and he starts the 395 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 8: rotation beforehand. So it just pushing the physical limits of 396 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 8: what people can do, which is a great thing about sports. 397 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 6: All the time. 398 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 8: Did we ever think we'd see somebody like Wemby who's 399 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 8: that tall and has that full courtability doing things in 400 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 8: the open floor like he does. No, But now we do, right, 401 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 8: And so Elia has done the same thing, and now 402 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 8: others feel like they can do it. So it's a 403 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 8: cool thing to see and watch. And he's pretty special. 404 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 8: I hope he crushes it tonight because we've seen him 405 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 8: in the World Championships last year in Boston, We've seen 406 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 8: him on the Grand Prix circuit. If he goes out 407 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 8: and crushes it at the Olympics in the long program like, 408 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 8: people will talk about what he does forever, which is 409 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 8: so cool. 410 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 2: Talking to Mike Tarico, you're also going to be doing 411 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: the NBA when you come back home, I'm curious about 412 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: the tanking story that you know. The commissioner came and 413 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 2: I wonder the timing of this, Mike. You have the 414 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 2: All Star weekend and you have the media looking for 415 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: somebody to, you know, something to talk about, and we've 416 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: talked about tanking the last couple of days here in 417 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: the States. Now, all of a sudden, he levies a 418 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars fine and a one hundred thousand dollars. Fine, 419 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: do you think that's just a coincidence. 420 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 8: Well, I don't think it's all star timing. I think 421 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 8: it's what Utah has been doing right. And this has 422 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 8: felt a little bit like whack a mole along the way. 423 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 8: When something comes up, you have to respond to it. 424 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 8: And you know, Utah had a brilliant idea. If you will, hey, 425 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 8: we're playing market in a certain number of minutes on 426 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 8: a minute's restriction, but they would not have the key 427 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 8: minutes and at the minutes you need your best players 428 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 8: to close a game, right. 429 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 6: So this is an issue and a problem that they'll 430 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 6: have to. 431 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 8: Find a way long term to be comfortable with and 432 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 8: not incentivized losing. And they've tried it with percentages. I'm 433 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 8: surprised to end percentages in the draft. I'm surprised we 434 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 8: haven't seen it in the NFL. I really am where 435 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 8: we don't see more of a lottery system for the 436 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 8: draft as opposed to, hey, we'll start a bad quarterback, 437 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 8: We'll go two and fifteen and try to get better quicker, 438 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 8: because in the NFL it can happen with a couple 439 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 8: of draft picks and a good draft class. And the 440 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 8: right quarterback and be in position for that. But you know, 441 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 8: the one thing about the NBA is they do not let, 442 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 8: especially Adam does not let a lot of moss grow 443 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 8: before taking action. Like they get in there and they 444 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 8: attack a problem, and if it's a problem and there 445 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 8: needs to be a solution, they'll go there. And I 446 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 8: think that's why the find was so heavy and so 447 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 8: penal against the Jazz for what they've been doing. 448 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know what. 449 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: And we've had calls all morning long about tanking and 450 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: what are alternative how do we stop this? 451 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 3: I don't have any ideas. 452 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: I mean I have ideas, I just don't know, like, 453 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: how do you kind of stop this, circumvent this, prevent this. 454 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 6: I'll never forget talking to somebody with the NCAA and 455 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 6: this is in the nineties and they said, you know 456 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 6: every rule that's in the book, all the infractions, I 457 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 6: can go back and tell you, yeah, SMU. 458 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 8: Did this back then or this school that did this 459 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 8: back then, and that's why this rule is in place. 460 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 8: I think everybody, when looking for a competitive edge, finds 461 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 8: a workaround at some point, so it's not fool proof. 462 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 8: So whatever the next system is somebody will find a 463 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 8: way to mess with it. You know, do you just 464 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 8: totally abolish the concept of worst record gets to the 465 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 8: top pick. Do you go back to some sort of 466 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 8: complete lottery system for the draft. There's a variety of 467 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 8: different things that sound crazy. You don't want to get 468 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 8: away from the principle of if you're not good, you 469 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 8: should get the first chance to get better, because that 470 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 8: cyclical nature of sports helps. Otherwise, you don't want although 471 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 8: it's successful, I don't think you want what the Premier 472 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 8: League is, where you have a. 473 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 6: Half dozen clubs. 474 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 8: We're going to be up here and then the others 475 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 8: are mostly going to rotate and the bottom fuel will 476 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 8: come in and out from the Premier League in the championship. 477 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 8: And that works for English soccer, it does not work 478 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 8: for our sports in the States. You like the fact 479 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 8: that Utah can be bad and get a couple of 480 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 8: draft picks and now you can be great. 481 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: How quickly after the trophy ceremony at the Super Bowl, 482 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: where you on a plane to Italy a. 483 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 8: Couple of hours we did the Olympic primetime show from 484 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 8: the field for an hour and change, went back to 485 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 8: the hotel, got a shower, grabbed our stuff and got 486 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 8: on the plane and then landed I think four hours 487 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 8: before the maybe four and a half hours before the 488 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 8: primetime show aired on Monday night, and got right to 489 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 8: work on that, got here shower, got to the broadcast 490 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 8: center and dove in. It was a bit of a whirlwind, 491 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 8: but I'll say it's it's been fun. I thought that 492 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 8: on Tuesday or Wednesday would hit like a house of bricks. 493 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 6: But you know the energy of the Olympics. 494 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 8: You get going in a routine with next day it's 495 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 8: a new event and something big is happening, and it 496 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 8: kind of carries you through.

So here I am ready to go. 588 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 4: Best piece of advice is, honestly, it's just been to 589 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 4: be myself and really do everything that we normally do. 590 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 4: Have fun, and if you have fun, the audience generally 591 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 4: tends to follow and celebrate the game. That's what we're 592 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 4: here to do, and so you kind of accomplish all 593 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 4: those things and you can leave happy. 594 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 3: How does your age work against you? How does it 595 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 3: work for you in a situation like this? 596 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess against me. It's just the inexperience. I 597 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 4: haven't done this before, and so it's anything that you 598 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 4: do new, you're going in a little bit blind. But 599 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 4: I would say how it worked for me. You know, 600 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 4: I've always been in old soul. The first article written 601 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 4: about me when I got the La Clippers job was 602 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 4: the headline was He's twenty two going on fifty two, 603 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 4: and it was highly accurate. And so for me, I 604 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 4: think I've been a historian of the game. I've watched 605 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 4: every one of these weekends since I was pretty much born. 606 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 4: I was the guy that needed to park myself on 607 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 4: the couch from the beginning of the Rising Stars all 608 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 4: the way through the game on Sunday. So I just 609 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 4: think that I want to make sure that I'm doing 610 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 4: the due diligence for all of those people who have 611 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 4: been watching for decades. But at the same time, I 612 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 4: do at least have a sense of what's happening with 613 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 4: the younger generation. And so the hope is I can 614 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 4: bridge the gap between those who are twenty two and 615 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 4: those who are seventy two that are tuning in. That 616 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 4: is kind of the goal in any of this. And 617 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 4: you know, we know that we should have especially considering 618 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 4: the Olympics are going to be on. We should have 619 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 4: a lot of non basketball fans early, and so our 620 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 4: hope is we can entertain them and inform them enough 621 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 4: that they want to stay. 622 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 3: Your thoughts on the format. 623 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 4: I'm excited for it. I think that, Look, the Olympic 624 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 4: aspect is great. We chatted during the Summer Olympics in 625 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four and I got a front row seat 626 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 4: to see just how different that type of competition is 627 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 4: when you do have the pride of representing a country 628 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 4: in the United States case and the world in the 629 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 4: world's case. And I think that you're going to get 630 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 4: a full forty eight minutes of basketball on Sunday. To me, 631 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 4: that was always the concern. It's one thing if and 632 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: we saw this a little bit last year, and the 633 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 4: NBA did a great job of rectifying some of those 634 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 4: issues where it felt like, actually the the games were 635 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 4: getting competitive, but then it was so choppy because they 636 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 4: were so short that you never got a full rhythm 637 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 4: of basketball. This will be a full rhythm of a 638 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 4: full quarter, and then you move on it's another full quarter, 639 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 4: and then you move on another full quarter, and then 640 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 4: you have your championship, so it's a full four quarters 641 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 4: of basketball. So from that perspective, I think it can work. 642 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 4: And the hope is these guys have a little bit 643 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 4: of juice, especially towards the end of that quarter. I 644 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 4: think that's the other idea from the NBA in previous 645 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 4: All Star Games. You feel like you have your full 646 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 4: forty eight minute game, twelve minute quarters. There's no jurisdiction 647 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 4: with the first, second, third, and then maybe by the 648 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 4: end of the fourth they start playing. The hope is, 649 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 4: because it's one quarter, the point differential is going to 650 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 4: matter by the end of each quarter, and they'll final 651 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 4: three to four minutes, You're going to start to see 652 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 4: some of that competitive joy and spirit come to the forefront. 653 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 4: So that's what I expect. We'll see if it all 654 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 4: comes together that way, But I'm excited for it. 655 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: I'm talking to Noah Ego. He'll be calling the All 656 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 2: Star weekend festivities with Reggie Carmelo, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, 657 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 2: Jamal Crawford. We've taken phone calls all morning long. Everybody 658 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 2: has their solution to tanking. 659 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 4: You got one, you see, I really don't think there 660 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 4: is one, because I've gone through every combination and permutation 661 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 4: you could think, and all the ones I've heard some 662 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 4: really creative. The ones that I like. There's one that 663 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 4: I know has at least had some preliminary discussion, accordingto reports, 664 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 4: about potentially having some kind of tournament or play to 665 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 4: get the number one pick. So now there's an incentive 666 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 4: for the teams. The problem is, what's the incentive for 667 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 4: the players that are on those teams that are on 668 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 4: expiring contract. Why do they care? That's the same idea 669 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 4: of that's what everybody always says with the NFL res all, well, 670 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 4: if you're bad, just lose every game. Well, why would 671 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 4: the players care to lose every game? That's not good 672 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 4: for them in their personal brands. And the same type 673 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 4: of deal of okay, well, where they're not going to 674 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 4: have any competitive pride, saying up until a certain point 675 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 4: and then that's gonna switch doesn't make sense to me. 676 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 4: I've heard the well, cut it off at March first, 677 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 4: and now the rest of the year doesn't matter in 678 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 4: terms of your losses, so go be competitive. But what 679 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 4: does that do necessarily? What if there's a team that's 680 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 4: eleventh in the lottery odds and March first, and now 681 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 4: they turn it on late, they make the play in tournament, 682 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 4: they make the playoffs, and they get the number one pick. Well, 683 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 4: that doesn't solve now the competitive balance in the NBA. 684 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 4: So I don't know if there's a definitive answer other 685 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 4: than the fact of what the egregious tanking and what 686 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 4: we saw the Utah Jazz get fined half a million 687 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 4: dollars for. I think that's where you just have to 688 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 4: find punishments for that to make sure that those do 689 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 4: not happen. The blatant directly in your face, sitting entire 690 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 4: guys for entire fourth quarters. And it's more than just 691 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 4: Utah that's done it. They're just the ones that have 692 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 4: gotten the harshest punishment so far this year. It's a 693 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 4: load of draft class. I think every time there's a 694 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 4: load of draft class, you see more and more teams 695 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 4: recognize it. And especially once these guys start playing at 696 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 4: the level that they have in the college ranks, they're 697 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,719 Speaker 4: going to start going all in to try to secure 698 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 4: their services. But at the same time, I'm not really 699 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 4: sure that there's a direct answer to say, well, hey, 700 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 4: you can't do that. You're gonna tell coaches, well, don't 701 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 4: don't put the You can't put those guys in right now. 702 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 4: That's a coaching decision. That's all they're going to argue. So, no, 703 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 4: I don't have I don't have an answer. The answer 704 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 4: is to try to sit back and hopefully enjoy what 705 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 4: you can. 706 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 3: Are you calling the celebrity game as well? 707 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 5: I am not. 708 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 4: I wish it's still an ESPN property. I wish that 709 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 4: we could have somehow grabbed that one. I'm a big 710 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 4: fan of watching the celebrities embarrass themselves. 711 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: All I know is Jason Williams is going to be 712 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 2: out there, yes, and somebody's gonna get hit in the 713 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 2: head with one of his passes, and he's going to 714 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 2: put somebody. He'll he'll put him on a swivel. He'll 715 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 2: he'll embarrass some people out there. I don't know who else. 716 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: Who else is Jeremy Lynn, He's playing as well well. 717 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 4: No, Dan. The big one that I think everyone's curious 718 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 4: about is Sham's charantoh yeah, which I here's what I 719 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 4: thought should happened. Every NBA executive should have recognized that 720 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 4: this guy was doing something that he can't have his 721 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 4: phone out while he's on the court and all thirty 722 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 4: teams should make some kind of deal. I know the 723 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 4: trade deadline's gown, but just do something crazy so that 724 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 4: he cannot report on it. I just want to see 725 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 4: what would happen. It feels like NBA armor get in that. Also, 726 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 4: I realized I saw online that apparently you can put 727 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 4: a wager on Shams tarani as over under a three 728 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 4: and a half points, which is disrespectful to Shams. Have 729 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 4: you seen his jump shot? He's got to get at 730 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 4: least four. 731 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 3: Is he Does he have any game? 732 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 4: He's got something. He's got some level of skill. 733 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 3: Not very tall, is he? 734 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 6: No? 735 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 4: But as a short king myself, at least I sympathized 736 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 4: with the fact that he's put up jumpers, he's gotten 737 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 4: in the gym, and he's put some work in. 738 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 3: Could you take Shams in a shooting contest. 739 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 4: I'ven't picked up a ball in years, so probably not. 740 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 6: Maybe twenty nine. 741 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 3: It's not like you're fifty. 742 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 4: Sure, sure, give me, give me like a month and 743 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 4: then we can talk. If you give me a month 744 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 4: to get some shots up, feel like I can get 745 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 4: a rhythm back. Then, Yes, I think I shot I 746 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,439 Speaker 4: shot forty percent my senior year of high school from three. 747 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 4: I think it was two for five or four for ten, 748 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 4: so I think I. 749 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 2: Good have fun this weekend. Noah appreciate it. Man, that's 750 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 2: no Eagle. He'll be on the call for the All 751 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 2: Star festivities.
