1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio. Whoa a lot of

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: new stuff going on there. Hello everybody, it's me Jason

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: McIntyre coming to you live from the Farmer's Insurance Fox

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios. When you switched to Farmer's Insurance, you

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: could save a bundle. All you gotta do is call

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: one eight farmers get a quote today we are farmers. Wow,

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: I didn't even do the new jingle was coming there.

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: A bit of a shocker, but I hope everybody's doing well.

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: Here on a you know, it's a one of the

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: latter Saturdays in the month of February. We took a

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: little family ski trip over the week. But of course

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: I didn't ski because I don't ski. Um, yeah, I know, Jason,

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: why don't you ski? Come on, well, I mean listen

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: before we get to sports here. My family's from the Caribbean,

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: as you guys know, and um, we never went on

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: one ski trip when I was growing up. It just

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: wasn't our thing. Now, my brother was like, he joined

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: boy Scouts, so he did a couple. I never did that,

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: and I never went skiing. And so now when we

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: go with the family, like I have the option, do

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: I want to go into um, you know, training with

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: my kids and do the private instruction on the magic

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: carpet or whatever it's called, and learned pizza and then

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: I know it's a little embarrassing. So normally I would

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: hang at the bar and drink and watch sports, but

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: there's no bar because it's a freaking pandemic, so uh,

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: just hanging out. Um, but hey, I had to do

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: the podcast. I was um also doing a couple of

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: pieces for Fox Sports on gambling, one that went up

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: about the Carson went Steel which we'll get too shortly,

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: and um, I know you guys like to hear about

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: non sports stuff. Gathered and I were chopping it up

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: about bitcoin and top shot, which we'll get too later.

34
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: We have a guest who'll talk about top shot if

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: you're not aware of it, and doge coin. If I

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: even said that correctly, Well I win to more of

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: the real speculation, like the Australian basketball team and let's

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: just say I have one, maybe two their fun big

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: picture investments in the hopper, but that's for another day

40
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: before I start on Carson Wentz and all these delusional

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: people who seem to think Carson Wentz is gonna guide

42
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: the culture a Super Bowl next year. I just want

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: to say I'm doing a fantasy basketball league with my son.

44
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: You guys know this. My daughter chipped in with the draft.

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, she's only eight, but she is

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: major up on hoops because obviously I coach are in

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: basketball and we're a sports family. So we're on the

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: car ride back yesterday and my son just starts, you know,

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: like I know stuff about sports you don't. And he's like,

50
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: I bet you don't even know where Kevin Durant used

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: to play. And she's like, is it okay? See? And

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: I was just I was like, whoa britt, How do

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: you know this? I was stunned. And obviously we play

54
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: video games and stuff, so um, we're my family is

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: nerdy about football and basketball, okay. And so I'm watching

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: some NBA last night, and I'm checking box scores every night,

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: obviously for gambling and also for fantasy every night in

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: the NBA, some crazy stuff's happening. Jamal Murray had fifty

59
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: last night, okay. Joel Embiad had fifty points and seventeen rebounds.

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: And again we have a guest coming up later who's

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: like cuddling at night with all his Joel Embiid Future's

62
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: MVP tickets. Um and the Pelicans got outscored in the

63
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. And you know, eventually we'll start doing segments

64
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: on world will Zion play in? But my final quick

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: NBA note before we get to Carson Wentz. Lakers Nets

66
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Thursday was a bad game. No Kevin Duryan, no Anthony Davis,

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: no Dennis Shrewder if I can throw his name in

68
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: there just for fun. Um Lakers Nets had an audience

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: of one point nine million. Okay, that's a huge number,

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: huge for an NBA regular season game in February. And

71
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: I just want to remind people. The fans say they

72
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: don't like super teams, but y'all love super teams. And

73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: that's even with a D and Kevin Durant not playing.

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: All right, So quickly, let's go to Carson Wentz, where

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend a lot of time on this show

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: because I need to do some truth telling on Wentz.

77
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: And if you guys heard straight fire earlier this week,

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I really pooh pooed the win steal. Um, I don't

79
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: understand what everybody's seeing. And I've got an avalanche numbers

80
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: and I know sometimes, you know, you guys, you don't

81
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: want to get bogged down in the numbers. But this

82
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: idea that Wentz from Philip Rivers is some sort of upgrade.

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: I think it's just comical. Okay, it's just it's not okay.

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz signed his massive extension with the Eagles in

85
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Since then, he started twenty nine games. He

86
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: has forty eight turnovers in twenty nine games. At what

87
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: point do we stop saying, well, you know, he doesn't

88
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: have an offensive line jay and his receivers stink and

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: they're hurt and they're shuttling running backs in and out. Like,

90
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: how many excuses can you make for Carson Wentz? How

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: many are we still wedded to this idea that Well

92
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: went with Frank reich Ineen was really the m v

93
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: P of the league. Yeah, that's true. He was nearly

94
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: the m v P almost four years ago, and since then,

95
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: all he's done is getting hurt every single season. And

96
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: this is why I mean, like, listen, I understand some

97
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: of the potential upside, and there's no doubt there is

98
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: some potential upside, and I'm not totally crapping on the

99
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: deal because I do believe, in some way, shape or form,

100
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: the Colts could not have done better than Carson Wentz.

101
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll get to another quarterback who maybe

102
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: on his way out in a second. But this idea

103
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: that you could just find a quarterback, it's just not reality.

104
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Like they're just not that many out there. And again,

105
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to mention bitcoin twice in the first

106
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: five minutes of the show, but it's tough to get

107
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: your hands outs a bitcoin now, and it's tough to

108
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: get your hands on a quarterback. Okay, Matt Stafford scooped up,

109
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: Wentz now scooped up, Like what else is there out there?

110
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald, my guy with the Jets. I mean, are

111
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: we going to start mentioning Marcus Mariota A J mccaren.

112
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta go way down the list. So

113
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: it's not like the Colts had a ton of options,

114
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: so they were kind of backed into a corner. Rivers

115
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: has gone, we don't want to start Jacoby Brisett. Okay,

116
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: let's get once and they didn't give up a ton.

117
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: But I just want to say, this is a guy

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: who I believe is broken right now, and I got

119
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: a number right I did this piece for Fox Sports,

120
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: and they have a staff there who can give me

121
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: all the numbers that I need. Okay, this is not good, Gavin,

122
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: You're a big gambler. Carson Wentz eleven and twenty three

123
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: in the regular season against teams that finished with a

124
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: winning record. We love to beat up Matt Stafford, not

125
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: me other guys for not beating good teams. Carson, Why

126
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: eleven and twenty three against essentially good teams? Thirty three

127
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: and thirty five against the spread? Is Carson Wentz a

128
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: winning quarterback? I gotta ask you know, there's really not

129
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: a lot other than a thirteen game sample size in

130
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: so it's weird we're willing to make all these excuses

131
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: and bend over backwards. Carson Wentz can do this. Carson

132
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: Wentz can do that. What about the fact that he's

133
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: going to a Colts team where the left tackle has

134
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: said he's retiring Costanzo? And again, I know you guys,

135
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: we talked about gambling a lot. Look at the splits

136
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: within without Costanzo at left tackle. This is a significant,

137
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: significant split. And let's remember t Y Hilton free agent

138
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Colts last year. Easiest schedule in the NFL Colts defense.

139
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: If you look at the starting eleven on defense Week one,

140
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: four of those guys are free agents. I don't know

141
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: how many you're coming back. So there are a lot

142
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: of questions surrounding Carson Wentz to the Colts. I hear

143
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: everybody's saying, Wow, Colts have the best team in the division.

144
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: Let's take a time out. At this very moment, the

145
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: Colts have the fourth best quarterback in the division at

146
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: this moment, Deshaun Watson obviously his first. I personally would

147
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: put Trevor Lawrence, who is going to go number one

148
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: to the Jacks. Trevor Lawrence is number two now. He

149
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: has zero playoff wins, zero NFL wins. So people are

150
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna be yelling at their radio right now. What about

151
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, Well, yeah, Ryan Tannehill's third, meaning Carson Wentz

152
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: is pulling up the rear, dead last in the division. Now.

153
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: I like their coach a lot, Frank Reich. We don't

154
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: know what Urban Meyer is gonna be in the NFL.

155
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Um I don't think anybody puts any stock whatsoever in

156
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: David Culley, who is I think that's his name, the

157
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: new Texas coach and that leaves um what's his name

158
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: not Arthur Very with the Tennessee Titans. So you know,

159
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Colts have an edge in coach. I think there probably

160
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: is a slight edge in roster. But this idea that

161
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: the culture slammed ug to win the division and oh

162
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: maybe they could challenge the Chiefs and the Bills. Uh

163
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: and who knows if you want to put the Steelers

164
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: in there, we'll talk about them in about thirty minutes. Like,

165
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't really know if it's automatic. Yes,

166
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: there are some pluses, but this idea that Carson Wentz

167
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: is gonna instantly be repaired. Folks. There are stories out

168
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: there right now that Carson Wentz did not talk to

169
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: his head coach Doug Peterson four quote weeks at a time.

170
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: We're talking eight, nine, ten weeks. Now, how does that

171
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: possibly work? Okay, you can get an argument with your

172
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: wife and not talked to her for a day or two. Maybe,

173
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: you know, you can get an argument with a co

174
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: worker who you work with every day and you know,

175
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: keep everything to a minimum for maybe a week if

176
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: you're seeing him every day. I don't know how in

177
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: season a coach and quarterback, especially at hands on coach

178
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: like Doug Peterson can go eight, nine, ten weeks without

179
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: talking to his quarterback. How is that humanly possible? And

180
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: it says a lot about Carson Wentz. Guys, when the thing,

181
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: when the going is good, Carson Wentz is a champion.

182
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: Everything's great. The second there's a sign of adversity, well,

183
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is struggling. He's the worst statistical quarterback of

184
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: the NFL. Carson Wentz and his coach start butting heads,

185
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: and what happens. He goes south. He doesn't want to

186
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: talk to the coach, he doesn't want to work with

187
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: people in the locker room. He's shrugging off plays because

188
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't like him, and he's beefing with his coach.

189
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: That's the guy you want to bring in. I understand

190
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: everybody gets a fresh start, everybody deserves a second chance.

191
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: But I think way too many people are jumping on this.

192
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is a top ten quarterback train and I'm

193
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: telling we could go down the list. I don't know

194
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: if he's top fifteen, I don't know if he's honestly

195
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: top twenty. Kevin, who would you rather have as your

196
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: quarterback next year? Kyler Murray or Carson Wentz, Kyler Murray,

197
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: Derek Carr or Carson Wentz And that was close. But Car,

198
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. But you know what, Car was

199
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: basically a top ten quarterback last year, So I take Car. Yeah,

200
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean this, where are people getting? What am I missing? On? Car?

201
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: I think what happens is when guys start whatever they

202
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: look like early in their career, we hold on too.

203
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna look like the rest of their career.

204
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: Like Whence you know that seen season where we seem

205
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: to be holding onto that as if he's going to

206
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: return to that right now. We just want him to

207
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: return to be a legitimate franchise quarterback, not even an

208
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: elite talent. But you know a lot of guys r

209
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: G three, Baker, they go through runs at the very beginning. Yeah,

210
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: but then you know you and look, Baker turned it

211
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: turned back the clock a little this year. But it

212
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: wasn't all because of him. It was more because of

213
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: the new coach and all the talent around him. Um.

214
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I think you gotta be a

215
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: little we're weary, right when when guys come into the

216
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: league and they do great right away. Yeah, well, I

217
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: know Chris is a Detroit Lions guy. He watched Matt

218
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: Stafford a ton and like, people don't want to respect

219
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, they don't like him, and they love Carson Wentz.

220
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: What am I missing? I feel like I'm missing something.

221
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's weird on Stafford because I

222
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: think you hit on it earlier. I think some people

223
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: just reduce it to quarterbacks when you when you games,

224
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: which is just not true. This is a massive sport

225
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: played by a lot of guys on both sides of

226
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: the ball. A quarterback on the plays one phase of

227
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: the game, and Stafford people are able to cherry pick

228
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: out the record he has against a winning team with

229
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: certainly like Carson Wentz has a playoff win. He doesn't

230
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: know he doesn't have that either, but he had that

231
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: one m v P season. Everyone clung to it, and

232
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: it is always the it was always the blur of oh,

233
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: so he was he was hurt here, Just wait until

234
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: he's healthier, wait until he gets about I was at

235
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: that game where he was injured against the Rams and

236
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: he won eleven games. So we're now saying Carson Wentz

237
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: is this amazing quarterback because he won eleven games and

238
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: was the MVP leader in te Do you just think

239
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: about that? I mean, shucks, isn't sports? What have you

240
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: done for me lately? You know, like, what have you

241
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: wont lately? Honestly? I mean I listen, I was crushing

242
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving on straight fire this week. People got angry.

243
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: I did first things first on Monday. I'm doing undisputed

244
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: on all week. I'll beyond all disputed all week. And

245
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: I already know, like to stop with the Kyrie Irving love, guys.

246
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Stop. He made one shot in the finals

247
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: to beat the Lakers, to beat the Warriors. Sorry to

248
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: be Kyrie Irving beat the Warriors. He will not hit

249
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: the game winning shot to beat the Lakers. File that away.

250
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: He will not. Umm might, by the way, something a

251
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: better player than Kyrie Irving. Right, He's a much more

252
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: clutch player. I will tell you that he's been carrying

253
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: Portland for years. Kyrie couldn't do anything by himself anything,

254
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: all right. I don't going off on a team before

255
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: we go to break um and coming up next, uh,

00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: in the NBA. But I saw this headline like, I

Speaker 1: don't need the Hill is a credible website, right, guys? Yes? Absolutely,

Speaker 1: cocaine corn flakes. How is it? How is that a

261
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: real story? I couldn't believe it. I had to read

262
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: this story. Uh it was Jason. It's snowing in Texas

263

Speaker 1: like it was like twenty seven degrees in where I

268
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: was skiing, and I was like, this is freezing. How

269
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: do people deal with this? And I forgot that I

270
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: used to live in the Northeast where it's twenty seven

271
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: for I don't know, three months in a row, and

00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: Brooklyn nets almost called the New Jersey. Um, Kevin is

287
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: Drew Brees or Ben Roethlisberger more likely to start Week

288
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: one next year? Man, Um, that's a really good question.

289
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Big Ben. And I'm gonna say

290
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: that because I've seen the betting odds that then is

291
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: still favored heavily to be the Steelers starting quarterback. Right right,

292
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I just can't get out of my

293
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: head how bad Ben was down the stretch. He was,

294
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: He was terrible, and so was Drew Brees. But there

295
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: seems to be some sort of social media push for

296
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: Breeze to come back. I don't know, I don't know

297
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: what that was. Yesterday I don't know if you guys

298
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: saw it, like Drew Brees was all his name was

299
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: in social media that he's going to come back with

300
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: a walker and people were getting the memes ready ah

301
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: ha ha. But I think it's just curious why he's

302
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: taking so long. Philip Rivers announced it right away. What

303
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: is Breeze waiting on? He he threw at three picks

304
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: in that final there was a real you know, he's

305
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: restructuring to the veterans minimum. I don't know, yeah, three interceptions.

306
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: I had money on those idiots. Um. The thing with

307
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Ben is like he's got fourteen million guaranteed on that.

308
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: He's just well, he's just not going to walk away

309
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: from it. He's he's gonna get at least fourteen million,

310
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: So like Steel is going to have to make him

311
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: go away. I think I saw his dead cap numbers

312
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: forty one mill. Carson Wentz is like thirty three. The

313
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: numbers are ridiculous. But I will say that I think

314
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: that teams care less now about the money, like they're

315
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: willing to to to, you know, to spend that money.

316
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Look at what the Eagles just did right with Wentz.

317
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I think if you want

318
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: to get the right quarterback and move on, you're willing

319
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: to cut that. I think a lot of them are

320
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: also willing to try to restructure these deals too, Like

321
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: I I did a talk with some Saints guys and like,

322
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: how the hell can your team be almost a hundred

323
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: million over the cap, And they just apparently that's all

324
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: just fancy bookworking and restructuring deals and you know, basically

325
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: punting the cap money down the road. Yeah, listen, this

326
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: is what you kick the can down the road, especially

327
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: if you're a GM. You know, you, what do I

328
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: care three years from now if there's a huge tax bill,

329
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: might not even be here. Millon dollar cap hit for

330
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles rights, But what again, what do they care?

331
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: They'll just trot out Jalen Hurts. Anyways, All right, back

332
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: to the Brooklyn Nets real quick. So you know, they

333
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: destroy the Lakers the other night. The Lakers were really depleted.

334
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: Um no a d no shrewder um. Lebron made some

335
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: KG comments after the game, like I'm not that impressed,

336
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: basically I did. I don't know if you guys heard

337
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving talking a little trash. Lebron was chosen to

338
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: shoot a technical free throw. He missed it, and Kyrie's like,

339
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: that's your best free throwers shooter. Um, there's still some

340
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: bad blood there, guys. I'm sure you remember how it

341
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: ended in Cleveland. Um. And lebron is a class act,

342
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: so he's not gonna oh boy, I just said that

343
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: some people are gonna get angry. UM. I don't think

344
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: lebron Is is going to outwardly show that he's got

345
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: disdain for Kyrie. Um. But remember Kyrie tried to scrap

346
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: the bubble last year. You know we shouldn't go. Nobody

347
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: should go, you know. Um. He used his question to

348
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: Addam Silver about what kind of beverages will be. Guy's

349
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: a joker. I do think this whole idea where he said, Hey,

350
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: I told James Harden you be point guard, I'll be

351
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: shooting guard. It's just it's like comical. I mean, seriously,

352
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: this guy is such a jerk. I was gonna say

353
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: another word, but I remembered, Uh, we're on the radio

354
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: in a lot of states, and I can't say that word.

355
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: I'm I'm out on Kyrie Irving. I just say, Am, like,

356
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: it's not your decision to tell the team that I

357
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: made James Harden point guard. It's like he's purposely spitting

358
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: in the face of his coach, who, by the way,

359
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: is a rookie head coach. And Steve Nash has been

360
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: very quiet this year. They don't need a coach though, Yeah,

361
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: they don't need a coach. They don't need a coach.

362
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: They got Kyrie Irving, they got James Harden, they got

363
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. Um, I'll just say this, they're they're very

364
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: scary with hardened running point. And when Kevin Durant comes back,

365
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: remember like we want to bash Harden for all his

366
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: failures and what he couldn't do in the playoffs, Well

367
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: let's also remember he was going up against I believe

368
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: to be the greatest dynasty in the modern era of

369
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: the Warriors, Like you're not beating them. Basically, James Harden

370
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: now is those Warriors light. I would say hardeness Curry,

371
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Kyrie is Clay, and KD is obviously k D. So

372
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: like James Harden is now on the stacked team, he's

373
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be the little guy facing about a bunch

374
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: of superstars and again and little guys a little derisive

375
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: because you know he did have Chris Paul um, I

376
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: think one year he had Dwight how Word, but he

377
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: never had this monster team that he has now. And

378
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: I tried to make this case to Brussard undisputed that

379
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm sorry on first things. First, that listen, James Harden

380
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: was almost overrated in Houston, right because he's winning all

381
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: the scoring titles and wins the MVP and all this,

382
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: And now he's like underrated in Brooklyn because oh my gosh,

383
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: look at how good he is when he's got a couple,

384
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, top fifteen players on his team and hardened

385
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: looks unbelievable. Now, I know everybody's gonna say they don't

386
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: play defense. Obviously the Lakers game will help their defensive numbers.

387
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: They were twenty five in defensive efficiency, and the stat

388
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: that I've seen everywhere is no team has who has

389
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: finished below eleventh and defense has won the championship in

390
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, some obscene number of years. It might

391
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: be forty um. And that's defensive efficiency, not like the

392
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: counting stats like points per game. So the nets are

393
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: twenty five, and I guess the counter would be does

394
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: defense even matter? Now? Guys? The shot making? And again,

395
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: if you don't love the NBA, you don't really care,

396
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: and you say nobody's trying blah blah blah. But the

397
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: shot making right now is absurd. Guys are just so

398
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: freaking good some of the numbers on the three point shooting,

399
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: Like Terry Rogier is attempting more threes a game than

400
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller ever did, and he's making more Terry Rosier Seriously,

401
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: I mean, Keavin, I know you don't love the NBA,

402
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: but where are you on the offense in the league

403
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: right now? I mean, Jordan Clarkson is given everybody night.

404
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: Nobody can stop him. First off, I do love the

405
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: sport of basketball, it's just the regular seasons. But um no,

406
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: I love the offense. I'm not a big fan of

407
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Harden's game and the trying to get fouled to go

408
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: for three shots at the free throw line. I'm not

409
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: a big fan of that. But I do want to

410
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: say I think the Nets are immensely more unlikable than

411
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: the Warriors when you're comparing super teams. Look at how

412
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: it ended with Harden in Houston. I mean that was

413
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: absolutely The fact he ended up getting what he wanted

414
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: is embarrassing. Um, Kyrie is the ultimate headcase that then

415
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: you watch him play and go, oh yeah, he's one

416
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: of the best players we've ever seen. He's unreal, but

417
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: he's crazy off the court. And then you have the

418
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: Katie he's a snake stuff. You know. Back with take,

419
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: I have not heard this. I was just thinking about

420
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: it as we're sitting here, going, you know that Warrior's

421
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: team was actually very likable except for the Kevin Durant factor.

422
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: It put them over the top. It is just the

423
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: most unlikable super team I don't see. I mean with

424
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: Harden and Kyrie really Celtics Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and

425
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: I thought they were. KG definitely had an argument. But

426
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: and as a you know, at the that time, I

427
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: was a big Laker fan. Um, Paul Pierce, I couldn't stay.

428
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: I can't stamp up the wheelchair thing. He's just I

429
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: don't even think he's like a good analyst to me.

430
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: The most the unlikable thing really to me is the

431
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: way that Harden ended it in Houston and then and

432
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: then got what he wanted. You know that that really

433
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: rubbed me the wrong way. But it's proof that when

434
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: you're when you have the talent, you're going to get

435
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: what you want. So the most I might have just

436
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: stumbled into a really good So there are the nets

437
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: the most unlikable super team. I mean that's where you know,

438
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: because I'm with you. I don't think Kyrie Irving is

439
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: very likable. Now. He has a huge fan base online,

440
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: Gavin massive from the Uncle Drew stuff. People just love

441
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: him because he can finish at the rim. Kyrie has

442
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: never been first team All NBA ever, never led the

443
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: league in scoring, never led the league assists. People seem

444
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: to think he's better than James Harden. He's not. He's

445
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: not even close. Now. I like Kevin Durant. I'm a

446
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: big fan. I know the whole snake stuff. I I

447
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to let that merrinate, but I like it.

448
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: You made me really think of that one. But the

449
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: thing is, it's also like I'm not knocking their talent, Like, yeah,

450
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: that might be the best putting the league right now

451
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: after Lebron, I would say, but it just, you know,

452
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: the unlikability factor of Katie with the Twitter burners and

453
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: being a snake. And yeah, there's a lot there. There's

454
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: a lot of meat on that phone, all right, coming

455
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,600

464
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: He's just a jerk, and the stuff he said this

465
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: week really ticked me off. Even Jay Billis went after Beheim.

466
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that next, but first, here's Isaac

485
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: free agent pass rusher j J. Watt tweeted a seemingly

486
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: innocent picture of his two dogs with the caption pops

487
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: first day in the city. This photo has been the

488
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: most success full part of the experiment so far. Well,

489
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: social media being social media is now going crazy thinking

490
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: he's dropping clues on who he wants to sign with.

491
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: There is a vase of blue flowers in the picture,

492
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: and it's leading some to think that means he wants

493
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: to sign with the Buffalo Bills another person. Another person replied,

494
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: quote dogs in photo Brown's equal dog pound, welcome to

495
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland unquote. Prominently visible in the picture a coffee mug

496
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: that says be free, can't social. I just had to

497
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: call this photo up. So do you think he's dropping

498
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: little Easter egg clues in this photo with the with

499
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: the mug and the flowers and the TV on. You're

500
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: looking at the photo right now, right, I am. Now

501
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: look at the screen. It looks like it's showing a

502
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: Premier League soccer match? All right? What is his wife's

503
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: What sport does his wife play? Soccer? What city is

504
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: she is? Chicago? Right? Yeah? That's what I think is

505
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: that is there something there? I'm assuming that's the in

506
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: the city. Right? Yeah, I think that's what he means.

507
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, and I hate saying this because

508
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: I do not have like tinfoil on my head. Look

509
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: at those blue flowers. They look photoshop, don't they. It

510
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: looks like it's the coloration has been changed on the flowers. Wow.

511
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: There it does look a little brighter. So J. J. Watt,

512
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: this is listen, we've been on this guy's this is

513
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna be an NBA type NFL free agency. It's it's

514
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: so fun, like we've never had this have we? Isaac

515
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: were premier guys and I know watched a little past

516
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: his prime are dropping photos like this. What kind of

517
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: dog is that? By the way, we need to ask

518
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: Gavin the dog. Also also another poster thinks the dog

519
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: on the right is orange with a white stripe instead

520
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: of belong with a white stripe, And they think that

521
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: that that dog being orange as they say, thinks that's

522
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a sign he's signing with the Why

523
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: would he's not going to Cleveland? Guys? Come on, if

524
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: you could go and city in America to chase the

525
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you're going to Cleveland? No shot? Right, say Buffalo.

526
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a golden doodle. Yeah, it's a golden doodle.

527
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: It's not orange, it's blonde. Very expensive dogs. My brother

528
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: has one. Are they now? They don't shed a lot?

529
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: Do they? Uh? No, don't shed a lot. One of

530
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: the you know, best temperaments of the dog you can have.

531
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: They're amazing, but they're also you know, they're bread there.

532
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: I like to go rescue dogs, you know, to tout myself.

533
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, the fact though that be free on the

534
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: coffee mug is pointed directly at the camera, that seems

535
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: a little too coincidental to me. Yeah, all right, thank you, Isaac.

536
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: Back here on Fox Sports Radio live from the Farmer's

537
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios called one at eight Farmers

538
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: you can save a whole lot of something on auto insurance.

539
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna save the Jim Beeheim rant for

540
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: like five minutes from now, so we'll quickly just do

541
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: this NFL free agency since we're on it. Um, let's

542
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: say j J wa It breaks it down and says,

543
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 1: you know what, my number one thing is to win

544
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. I forgot who put that out there,

545
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: but someone close to what said super Bowls is number

546
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: one thing. Doesn't he go to the Kansas City Chiefs

547
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: and just go on the defensive line right next to

548
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and Pat Mahomes Andy Reid Like they've won

549
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: what twenties six of twenty eight games? Something obscene like that.

550
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: What better option to win a Super Bowl then the Chiefs? Then? No,

551
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: you have to factor in, does he want to play

552
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: with his brother in Pittsburgh? Um? Does he want to

553
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay and help them win a Super Bowl.

554
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: He could definitely help them. He's from Wisconsin. Um. The

555
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: J J. Watch story, by the way, guys, is incredible.

556
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: There's a guy who was not a highly touted kid

557
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: coming out of high school. I think he was a

558
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: walk on and delivering pizza in college before he became

559
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: a big deal. Is that accurate, Kevin? Yeah? I mean,

560
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: just a great story of perseverance and hard work. And

561
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: gotta love J. J. Watt for that. Like, I'm a fan.

562
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: Um As his play tailed off a little, sure, but

563
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: he was still he created out as one of the

564
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: top ten run defenders on the edge last season. His

565
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: sacks were down, but you know, again, stopping the run matters.

566
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Green Bay couldn't stop a nosebleed the last

567
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: couple of years on the ground. Um. You look at

568
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers and they've had some ground issues and they

569
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: might lose Bud Dupree and free agency the what brothers

570
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: on the edge? Like, come on, I love that. I

571
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: definitely think there's at least five better options in the Browns.

572
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know where this Cleveland stuff is

573
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: coming from? Um, to be true and and what about

574
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: the idea of really, if you really hate the Texans

575
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: and what they've become, why don't you stick it to

576
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: him by going to the Titans. That seems a bridge

577
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: too far. But they can't stop the run at all.

578
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: I think they were thirty first in the league. Uh,

579
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs were thirty second, I'm pretty sure. And and you

580
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: know Tennessee hasn't had an edge, so they tried Clowney.

581
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: That was a disaster. I just I don't know. I

582
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: don't think the idea of j. J. Watt going to

583
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: Cleveland makes sense. I don't even understand the Chicago other

584
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: than his wife play soccer in the city. So a

585
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: lot of options for J. J. Watt. I do like

586
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: the slutes going on his Twitter picture and trying to

587
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: break it down in granular fashion. It almost has the

588
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: feel of when college football fans start checking flight Aware

589
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: to see where the private jets are going and coming

590
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: and like, oh, this guy's a candidate because it's private

591
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: jet left his school, you know, like a little sad

592
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: but also true. Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio,

00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: got to pull back from being the nice guy and

608
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: being friendly and positive and optimistic and upbeat, and you've

609
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: got to be a little bit real here. But I

610
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: can't believe the reaction to a nineteen year old quinny. Okay,

611
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: you guys know I coach my kids hashtag dad life.

612
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: I instruct you all if you get a chance, coach

613
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: your kids in any sport. It's so fun. You're you'll

614
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, you you'll lose some sleep over it. It'll

615
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: stress you the hell out, but it's fun. It is,

616
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: trust me. And as you guys know, the kids grow

617
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: up real quick, real fast. That that what do they say?

618
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: The days are long, but the years go by super fast.

619
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: And I always teach my kids never quit. Okay, you

620
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: guys are down fifteen and the fourth quarter, I don't care.

621
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: You're not quitting. It's never over. Don't quit. You know,

622
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: I said, we signed our kids up for swimming. After

623
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: like four classes, they're like, this is so hard. I

624
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: don't want to do swimming. I don't tough darts. You're

625
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: doing it. You're not quitting. You'll follow through the season

626
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: and then we can reassess at that point. You don't

627
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: want to raise quitters. All that being said, I understand

628
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: why Jalen Johnson left DUP this week. He's, of course

629
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: their best player there. Well I'm sorry, he's he's their

630
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: highest rated player coming in and he was, you know,

631
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: top twenty recruit. He was gonna be one and done

632
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: from the jump. Everybody who was recruiting him knew that,

633
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: including coach Ka Duke. He's gonna leave after one year,

634
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: and not necessarily one year, but right after the n

635
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: c A tournament. That's when most of the kids leave,

636
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: not all. Some stick around and do the finals and

637
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Others say, I gotta get an agent,

638
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: I gotta get in the gym, I gotta start training,

639
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: get ready. That was Jalen Johnson's plan all along. Go

640
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: to Duke for one year and go to the NBA

641
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: BA first round pick, probably a lot of pick. And

642
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: he quit the team this week, and I got an

643
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: argument with a guy I like a lot, Doug gott

644
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: Leave here at Fox Sports Radio. And you know, he's

645
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: very passionate about the old days, the same way coach

646
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: k and Jim Beeheim are. College basketball, it's family, it's brotherhood.

647
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: You come, you're in the system for three or four years.

648
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: And remember as recently as the nineties, guys were staying

649
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: multiple years. Chris Webber stayed two years at Michigan. They

650
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: nearly won the title the first year, they lost it

651
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: again in the title in the second year. And here

652
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: is Doug got leave and I and what I think

653
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: was a cordial conversation, mostly discussing Jalen Johnson quitting Duke.

654
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: I know you have a young son, who you who

655
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: you coach in basketball. I have two kids who I

656
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: coach as well. I teach them never to be a quitter.

657
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: That being said, I can see why and understand why

658
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson quit on Duke. I don't necessarily agree with it.

659
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have to deal with a lot

660
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: of backlash. I don't like the piling on I see

661
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: and here Doug. It felt excessive to me, and that's

662
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: why I did jump on social media and say, listen,

663
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: Coach k knew what he was getting with this guy.

664
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson was coming to Duke as a way station

665
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: before he jumps to the NBA. Given the wacky year

666
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: it's been with games canceled, which Coach k did cancel

667
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: some games. You got the n C tournaim it's gonna

668
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: be weird. There's no fans anywhere, and then he gets benched.

669
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: I can see why Jalen Johnson said, you know what, Peace,

670
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm done here. And on some level I

671
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: can agree with him. You know, why do you why

672
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: with him? You just said you want your kid to

673
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: quit before it's done. In this case, my nine year

674
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: old bailing on swim class. Yes, that's a little different

675
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: than my nineteen year old who's holding a lottery ticket

676
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: in the n b A. I don't necessarily agree with it,

677
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: but I understand what I can't. I just I can't.

678
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: You're you're directly contradicting yourself. You're saying because he's going

679
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: to be an NBA player, all other moral things all

680
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: over when when he committed to go there, he at

681
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: any time could have gotten out and gone to the

682
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: G League I Nite Team. Doug gets a nuanced discussion.

683
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: This is not black and white. There are shades of

684
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: great this this situation with if he was being abused,

685
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: if he was at severe risk of injury, if he

686
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: was When you sign, there's Duke as a high school player.

687
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting Coach k we gotta shot at

688
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: the Final four. We're gonna be on TV all the time,

689
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: the camera crazy. This is great. And then you get

690
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: there in the middle of a pandemic and there ain't

691
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: no camera crazy, and Duke stinks, and coach k canceled

692
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: nonconference game that you were going to be on TV,

693
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: and you're maybe a little pissed, and then coach Kate

694
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: Bench is you and now you're like, we're not doing

695
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: anything and Mark's madness. I was excited for that. Now

696
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm barely playing. I'm done another angle. Guys, think about it.

697
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: I talked to my neighbor who has a college freshman,

698
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: and this lady's daughter hates it. You can't sit at

699
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: the dining hall with your friends and hang out at

700
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: college right now. They won't let you. You go get

701
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: your food and then you head back to your dorm

702
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: room and you eat it. You don't go to classes.

703
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: You were doing zoom classes from your dorm room. Like,

704
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: that's not the college existence that a lot of people

705
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: signed up for. It's just not. It sucks, and I

706
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: can understand why Jalen Johnson's leaving doesn't look bad. Oh

707
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: kind of? Is he gonna have to answer a lot

708
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: of questions from the NBA. Hell yeah, people are gonna

709
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: be all up on Jalen Johnson. How could you leave?

710
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: You went to three high schools and uh four years

711
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: you went to I think two high schools your senior year.

712
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,479
Speaker 1: What what is this moving around stuff? Listen, He's gonna

713
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: have to answer those questions. But I don't see the

714
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: point in sticking around on a bad duke team when

715
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: you know you're leaving in a month anyway to go

716
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: train for the NBA, and Jim Beheim coming in saying

717
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: Duke's better without him, Like, Jim Beheim is a clown.

718
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: He's a seventy six year old man who's bashing a

719
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: nineteen year old kid. And why because Jim Behem wants

720
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: to carry water for coach k and keep coaching on

721
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: the Olympic teams and keep getting elite recruits. Like I'm

722
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: embarrassed for Jim Beheim and Ja Billis really went after

723
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: him hard. And and Beheim is a daughtering old fool

724
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: who's ready to be done in college sports. He just

725
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: doesn't get it anymore. I mean his comments again, we're

726
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 1: attacking a nineteen year old kid who's in college because

727
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: he bailed on a bad duke team. And what here's

728
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: what's funny. There was a kid on West Virginia, this

729
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: big kid, I think he's from Nigeria, really talented prospect.

730
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: He opts out for personal reasons in January and people

731
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: say he opts out, they didn't say quit. A month later,

732
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: the kid turns up Kentucky. Where were all the quitting comments? Then? Oh,

733
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: why is that? Maybe we like this kid? Maybe he's

734
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: a nicer kid. He's not uh, the one and done

735
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: guy like Jalen Johnson like, we've got to stop picking

736
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: and choosing who we attack, especially when it's a nineteen

737
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: year old kid. Guys, come on, it just seems wrong.

738
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: Jim Beheim, all these reporters for college basketball blasting Jalen

739
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: Johnson like, get over yourselves. Coming up next year Fox

Speaker 1: We are coming to you live from the Farmer's Insurance.

744
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,480

746
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: auto insurance. That's a lot of money for a quick

747

751
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: We haven't had him on for a while. I guess

752
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: I could say this. I don't think he'll care, but

753
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: he was kind of banned from coming on because his

754
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: old employer was blocking it. I don't know, maybe I'm

755
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: going overboard. But Preston Johnson, the good Man, you know

757
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: how are you, man? I'm good. It wasn't that they

758
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: were blocking your show per se. It was just I was,

759
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: you know, scrapped from doing shows with anybody else. Really

760
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: I did. I had to stay with the ESPN, and

761
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: so it wasn't okay, did you say you had a

762
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: stay of Do you say you had a stay of execution? No?

763
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: Just kidding, all right, Preston, Um, listen, we need to

764
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: start by talking about this something that's near and dear

765
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: to your heart. A guest on this show, Brian Winhorst,

766
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: wrote a big piece about something called top Shot, and

767
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: I read it and I'm like, well, this is dumb.

768
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: And I started asking people and they're like, oh, it's

769
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: kind of cool, and I'm trying to get a grasp

770
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: on it. Okay, is there the potential that you could

771
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: summarize top Shot for the audience? And I don't know,

772
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 1: like under thirty seconds the elevator pitch for top Shot,

773
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: I can do my best. So it's for people that

774
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: aren't aware NBA top Shot it is licensed officially with

775
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: the NBA. Top Shot is exclusive with the NBA. And

776
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: they have these highlights that are you know, between ten

777
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: and sixteen seconds long, more or less of actual players

778
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: in their plays that they make, and you open up

779
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: packs just like you had physical sports cards. You don't

780
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: put up the packs, and you see which highlights you

781
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: get in their numbers. There's like a serial number which

782
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: kind of tells you how rare it is. It could

783
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: be out of two, could be out of five stounds,

784
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: maybe in a fifteen, so depending on the player. The

785
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: serial number like it's actually worth something and it's blown

786
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: up the last month. And I know a lot of

787
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: people are gonna say, hey, well, like I can look

788
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: at the YouTube clip online and blah blah blah blah blah.

789
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: Well like you can also, you know, I could print

790
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: out a physical sports card picture online and cut it

791
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: out and look at it. And it's the same things

792
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: that really is trying to grasp scarcity security because it's

793
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: all built on blockchain technology for people that are familiar

794
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: with that to some extent, where when you get these

795
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: moments they're called or these you know digital cards, you

796
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: own them, and if other people want them, if the

797
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: demands there. The prices have just been going crazy, and

798
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: it's fun. They're kind of gamifying it where there's challenges

799
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: that can collect certain players in certain moments, you know,

800
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: get these special extra awards and and rewards, and so

801
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: it's fun, and you know, it's just been kind of

802
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: a thing that's gone crazy these last I guess, I

803
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: guess like four weeks now, Okay, So that's a lot

804
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: to take into. Gavin and I were talking about it

805
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: before the show, and I read the winners piece and

806
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: and I just have to say, do you own any

807
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: top show? I've been very fortunate the last I got

808
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: in about six weeks ago, and so yeah, yeah, I'm

809
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: in a good spot right now. If you if we'll

810
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: talk more later Gavin too, I'll send you guys some stuff.

811
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: You can give cards for free online. We'll set you

812
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: up with some account and I'll get you guys something. Right,

813
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: So let me ask. Okay, So I'm always curious as

814
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: who's behind the scenes on this. You said the NBA

815
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: owns it, right, Is the NBA profiting off all of this? Yeah,

816
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: they're partnered and they do get h you know a

817
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: percentage of the sales and feeds. So you said you

818
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: got in six weeks ago. What's the Can you talk

819
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: about what the best highlight you own? A card? Is? Sure?

820
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: So wind Horse wrote the piece about the number one Zion. Yams,

821
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: don't tell me you own the number one Zion. So

822
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: Jeremy Levine was the one that actually purchased it. But

823
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough to be partnered with the three

824
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: guys that we went in on it, so I actually

825
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: owned fift it. So you own fiftent of the Zion. Yes,

826
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: So Jeremy Levin is the one that purchased it, and

827
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: he has two partners. They go in Jonathan Bales and

828
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: Peter Jennings big DFS names and Peter Jennings and I

829
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: were talking about that moment because it's a number one Zion,

830
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: which is the first one that's minted, and it's his

831
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: jersey number, and it's a very rare one and there's

832
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: only fifty of them total, and the day before I

833
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: was like, we need to get this, and so they

834
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: were nice enough to give me a piece, so I

835
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: have of that one. That's my most valuable moment. And

836
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: I said a bunch of the rookies because I got

837
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: in right before they released this series too. So like

838
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: anyone mellow Halliburton wiseman, Anthony Edwards had that huge dunk

839
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 1: last night, that his value of his moment just because

840
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: he had that dunk last night wasn't like doubled last

841
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: night in about two hours. It's just been insane. But

842
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: uh yeah, all right, So I'm sure a lot of

843
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: people are like and again maybe the older crowd. You know,

844
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: Preston's a younger guy. Oh he's not that young. Um

845
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 1: are are have to be asking like, okay, who it's

846
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: It's supposedly worthy, but something's not worth something until somebody's

847
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: willing to actually pay for it. Is their resale value

848
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 1: for a Zion Williamson highlight, there is so just coincident.

849
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: This is a great time. So we bought it for

850
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars and that was the number one

851
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: Jersey number out of fifty of these highlights of the

852
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: Zion Williams and Block. Okay, yesterday, there were three of

853
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: that same exact highlight that we're sold now. They were

854
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: like serial numbers twenty one out of fifty thirty nine

855
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: out of fifty they sold for fifty five to fifty

856
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: nine thousand, and generally the number ones and the Jersey

857
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: numbers are going for five to ten x what the

858
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: like basic serial numbers like you know, one out of

859
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: fifty with sell for So that kind of finally was

860
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: the first time we saw like, hey, if we wanted

861
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: to sell this for two d and fifty thousand and

862
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: get to an affects our value back, we could definitely

863
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: do it. Now our goal is to sell up for

864
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: like a million plus, but so we're not even it's

865
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: not even listed on the marketplace, like we're not trying

866
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: to sell it. But I think yesterday was a good

867
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: indicator that, yeah, we're definitely ahead now on the Zion purchase.

868
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: This does fast now present Again, I don't want to

869
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: play negative Jason here, Um all good, all good. When

870
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: you start thinking about where society has come in the

871
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: last year due to this pandemic, and you're seeing a

872
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: lot of speculative stock market stuff, you're seeing the game

873
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: stop stuff. Um, bitcoin is up over fifty tho. I

874
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: know you're a big bitcoin guy, right, Um dodge coin. Um,

875
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: just so much speculation and people are going crazy on it.

876
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't. Something strikes me as odd that all of

877
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: this is happening in one year when you know a

878
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: lot of the underlying fundamentals are just shaky or questionable

879
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: or not there. Um, I don't know, am I wrong year?

880
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: Is there a tulips analogy that somebody needs to make?

881
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: So I'm not like, you know, finance guy, but they'll

882
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: give you twenty seconds back on this because and it

883
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: was an awful year for everybody right for a lot

884
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: of reasons. But the government printed over of the dollars

885
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: that exists in the world. In the value of the

886
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: dollar has just gone so it's pumited so much that

887
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: there are people out there that still have money, and

888
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: they're are grateful that they have money, but they're putting

889
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: it into other things, like whether it's equity markets not

890
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: necessarily the game stopped thing that was like some crazy

891
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: short squeeze Gamma squeeze play that I don't even understand

892
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: how your percent. But they're putting it into equities, are

893
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 1: putting it into real estate, like real estate. You know,

894
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: I was trying to buy a house last year. I

895
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: moved on here to the southern California and probably just

896
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: kept going up but I didn't understand why, and it's

897
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: going to keep just keep printing this money. And so

898
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: sports cards boomed last year, and now you have some

899
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: of these digital collectibles, whether it's art, whether it's top Shot,

900
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: they're booming. And it's just because ultimately golds you have

901
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: gone up, Like there's just all this extra dollars now

902
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: that people like you're like the dollars going down. If

903
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: we're just printing more and more and more, other things

904
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: are going to have more values than dollars. Let me

905
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 1: get those. Yeah. But so dating back to the Roman Empire,

906
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 1: gold has been ahage against everything. Okay, so now is bitcoin, NBA,

907
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: top Shot, dodge coin, all this stuff. Is that considered

908
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: a hedge? I think it can be a digital kind

909
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: of like new age hedge for sure. A bitcoin. I

910
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: mean you've seen it in March. It was like three

911
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: to four thousand, and you know now it's fifty six

912
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: k or whatever last night last I look so that

913
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: that's definitely like the digital gold. Do you feel like

914
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: saying how heavily invested you are in bitcoin? No? I

915
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: don't want. I don't want anyone coming by looking for me.

916
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: But here here's my thing. When we talk and this

917
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: is way off the sports topic, but when we talk

918
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: about a hedge, Gavin, usually that means it's end of days,

919
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: like things are bleak. But I'm sorry, Preston said, So Preston,

920
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: like not end of days, but like you know, if

921
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: the grid goes down and all of a sudden, you know,

922
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: you can't get money out of a bank, like none

923
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: of that's none of this digital stuff is going to

924
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 1: be relevant. That's when gold is relevant. But I guess

925
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: you could say, well, Jason, if all that's happening, it's

926
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: the end of civilization anyway, right, sure, sure, yeah, that's

927
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: probably a fine way to look at it. Ultimately, you know,

928
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: it's an internet in digital age, and I think even

929
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: at that point that coin would hold value. Be like

930
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: it's like you're not going to be driving parts of

931
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: gold around like get things you need, Like it would

932
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: be a lot easier to track it's for it in

933
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: ten seconds on the internet. So unless the Internet breaks

934
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: or something like that, that you're right in the world's

935
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: over anyways. Yeah, all right, let's get to actual sports.

936
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: Big day in college basketball. I have a buddy who

937
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: sends some algorithm picks and um, you know, uh, nothing,

938
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: nothing that you would really care about, although he does

939
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: have m s U plus six, which tips off at noon.

940
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: Do you have anything any action today or are you

941
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: just saying, you know what, forget gambling. Let me just

942
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 1: go all in on top shot. I'm kind of glad,

943
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: so you you maybe you know about this, and I'm

944
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm going through all the games. I'm running my models

945
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: in and updating numbers and comparing them to the markets,

946
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: finding my edges. You have to do the process over

947
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: and over just to just stay up on it. But

948
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, I did a challenge

949
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: right to lose fifty pounds before I could I could wager,

950
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: So I haven't actually been wagering outside of one hedge

951
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: I made versus uh in uh for a future I

952
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: had in the NFL, And it was when Mahomes got

953
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: hurt and the Browns were plus eight and a half

954
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,479
Speaker 1: live and during that commercial break I heard him Becker Brothers.

955
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: The one time. I was like, I need to at

956
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: least in case Mahomes is out for you know, the

957
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: rest of the playoffs. Um, But otherwise I haven't been betting,

958
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: so I was lucky. Yeah, because I feel like now

959
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting my action in top shot and some other stuff.

960
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: But I will say today there is one game that

961
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: really intrigues me from a analytical numbers like no narrative

962
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: approaches and there the narrative stuff, and it's the Virginia

963
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: Do game. And I don't know if you have a

964
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: play in this, and I know it's it's moved from

965
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: minus one one and a half now Virginia's minus two.

966
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: But the talk is that and even Jim Baham, I think,

967
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: said the Duke will be better now that Jalen Johnson

968
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: is no longer. He decided to opt out and not

969
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,439
Speaker 1: play with Duke. And the angle is that everyone's gonna

970
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: rally behind the fact that people are counting them now

971
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: and Jalen Johnson left, and this is like, like, I

972
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: don't care what you say, but like my number and

973
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 1: my projection with Johnson, who was like highly recruited freshman

974
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: gonna go to the NBA, was Virginia minus three and

975
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: this was one and a half overnight. And I think

976
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: it's still minus too just about everywhere, which I still

977
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: think so little. That's if Johnson was playing. So unless

978
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: there's some historical data out there that says duke or

979
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: teams play better without their best players, like then then

980
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: Virginia is the side, and absolutely do in my opinion,

981
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna cover like at the time at this

982
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: number and then you can yell at me whatever, But

983
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: like in a vacuum long term, Virginia is this. This

984
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: is a cheap price. And I think it's this kind

985
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: of narrative build up that Duke will somehow perform better

986
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: because Jalen Johnson's often and in the distance and it

987
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: doesn't care anymore and they got that out of the

988
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: locker room or whatever. So that is one side. I

989
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: think it's very intriguing today, a game that everyone should follow. Yes,

990
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: I am financially invested in the calves. Um, I don't.

991
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't think this will be close by the way behind.

992
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: Did you realize he's seventy six years old. I didn't

993
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: know he was that damn old. Yeah. When you listen

994
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: to his clip when he's you know, ragging on Jalen Johnson, like,

995
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear he's carrying water for coach k it's

996
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: almost embarrassing. Um, all right, quickly, I want to ask you.

997
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: I know you are a big Joel and bead fan,

998
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm ready to conceive Preston. You were right, Joel embiid

999
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 1: it's a better guy to build around the Ben Simmons.

1000
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: I've been clinging to that. Uh for several years. It's

1001
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: pretty clear and beat now is the MVP. How many

1002
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: m v P futures tickets on EMBID do you have? UM?

1003
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, are you like retiring if embiad wins the MVP? Uh? No,

1004
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm retiring on top shot. But MPPs and bonus I

1005
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: did bet those in so it's like one of my

1006
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: few sweats I have left. I got tend to one

1007
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 1: MPT was one to one to win MVP before the season,

1008
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: and now I'm in a very good spot with mb

1009
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: That's why you'll see me showing on Twitter like I

1010
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: have noticed. But yesterday he had the fifty point seventeen

1011
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: or rebound you know, five us his four blocks to seals, Like,

1012
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: I know what he's doing. But Simmons hasn't been playing

1013
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: the last two games. He's got nuts. I think it's

1014
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: Tim or Lebron. I wouldn't actually be that angry if

1015
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: Lebron ends up winning it. I think he absolutely deserves

1016
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: it too. But I think those two have kind of

1017
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: separated themselves from the rest of the pack just because

1018
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: you know they have two of the three best records

1019
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: in the NBA and you know what Lebron is doing

1020
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: at his age and stuff. All some people say shouldn't

1021
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: reflect and who you're voting for this year. Um, I

1022
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be upset upon got it. But I'm obviously I'm

1023
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: rooting for NB He's he's been ridiculously good. Any NBA

1024
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: team futures out there, uh, it looks like the Nets

1025
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: are the one that's gone up significantly. I want to

1026
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: make a case for the Boston Celtics as a bilow

1027
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: right now, since they've never they've never had I think

1028
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: they've played twenty minutes with their best lineup, which would

1029
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 1: be Tatum Brown, Smart, Kemba and these or Tristan Tomson,

1030
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: whichever one. Twenty minutes. That's all the season because of injuries.

1031
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: Where are you on the NBA team futures? I'm not

1032
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: sure if you probably didn't watch the Hawks game yesterday.

1033
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: I still watch a ton of NBA because I love

1034
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: the sport, But they showed us graphic and I didn't

1035
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: even realize this, so like like really like detailed defensive

1036
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: metrics like deflections per game, and then obviously some of

1037
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: the other stuff like how many points you're allowing, but

1038
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: skills they had, like some of the defensive rotations like

1039
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: close outs or how many wide open threes you're laying

1040
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: pre game, and Boston with smarts on the floor like

1041
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: top fourteen and all of them. And since he's been

1042
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 1: out the last whatever it's been three weeks now, maybe

1043
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: um they're like there's bottom five of the league and

1044
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: all of them now, and so I think he really

1045
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: doesn't make that impact defensively. Uh and then Tatum and

1046
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of been hit. There was an

1047
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: article written, I'm not sure who did it. It was

1048
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: after they lost to the Hawks two or three nights ago,

1049
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: and then they did the back to back rematch thing yesterday.

1050
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: But I think Covid, you know, hit him. He was

1051
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: out for a couple of weeks and he just hasn't

1052
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: been himself yet and I think he just needs some

1053
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: time to to get to that point. And then obviously

1054
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: they've had other injuries to like Pritchard has been out

1055
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: and missed some time. Um, given Kembo still working his

1056
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 1: way back and hit a great game yesterday himself. So

1057
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind that one, just because you

1058
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: know you can trust Brad Stevens in the playoffs and

1059
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: there's they have assets more than most teams right now

1060
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: to make an addition or make a move. Not maybe

1061
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: not Bradley Beal Like people are gonna throw that name out,

1062
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: But what about like Victor Olizippo or what about a

1063
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: big like a center that you trust more than you know,

1064
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: Tristan Thompson or Daniel Ties. So I think Boston's a

1065
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: pretty good bilo in general, whether it's Western East. I

1066
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: do like that one. All right, let's wrap up with this.

1067
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned you aren't gambling until you lose fifty pounds,

1068
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: so you started what January one? We're what's your status

1072
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: more like sixteen or seventeen. But it's been pretty good.

1073
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,920

00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was never trying to do that. I'm

1077
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 1: trying to my I talked to my brother because I

1078
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: believe it or not, he actually he's like a nutritionist

1079
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: and like personal trainer and stuff. He does that for

1080
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: a living. And uh it was like, you know, um,

1081
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: I want to be set by football. I didn't want

1082
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: to go crazy because I knew how I just hate

1083
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: myself if I went too hard like right away, and

1084
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,160

00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: this Fox Sports radio network, bashing him, and I think

1112
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,240

00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: know I would, Sam, Where are you on the top shot.

1126
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: It's very I haven't heard much about it, honestly. Yeah,

1127
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of new, but there is something I don't

1128
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: know how to articulate it, just coming up with it

1129
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: on the fly here. But there is some kind of

1130
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: nostalgia slash um digital play going on here during the

1131
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: pandemic because this Gavin mentioned before the show to me,

1132
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: like sports cards are making this massive resurgence, and I'm like, okay,

1133
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: what has changed? Why are sports cards all of a

1134
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: sudden valuable? Is it because people are out of jobs

1135
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: and they're looking for anything that they can make some

1136
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: money off of. I don't know why? Why? Now? Why

1137
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: are sports cards valuable? Now? My understanding is people were

1138
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: stuck at home because of the pandemic. They were cleaning

1139
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: out their homes, so they were finding all these old

1140
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: cards trying to think back to a nostalgic time when

1141
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: you know that that stuff was enjoyable, and the market

1142
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: skyrocketed because people were selling We're are looking to buy

1143
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: these cards. So when there's an influx of money in

1144
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: the market, now you do wonder if there's a it's

1145
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: a bubble, if it's going to burst at some point.

1146
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: But right now, this you know, this has been going

1147
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: on almost a full year now with the sports cards thing,

1148
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: so I think it's a good investment if if that's

1149
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: something you're into. Um, I know the it's also gone

1150
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: onto YouTube and a lot of digital media too with

1151
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: the breakes and and a lot of trading card. Uh,

1152
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, different ways to do it. You know, the

1153
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: excitement of it's almost like a raffle of a lottery,

1154
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, buying packs and stuff, so exciting stuff. And

1155
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: there is like a get rich quick thing right now

1156
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: going on where the traditional ways of patients and compound

1157
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: interest and building wealth over many years like that doesn't

1158
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: really fly with the new generation. They just want it

1159
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: and they want it now and they want the quickest

1160
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: way to make money. And I'm sorry, guys, like, if

1161
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: it were easy to make a lot of money quickly,

1162
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: like everybody would do it. Um, And it's tough to

1163
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: be patient. And we want it now and you want

1164
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: to you want to live the flashy life. But um,

1165
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: short term pain, long term game, you know, Um, I

1166
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I also just I just don't think it

1167
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: hurts to take a look in your own collection. If

1168
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: you have old baseball cards, basketball cards, that stuff, check

1169
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: it out, see what it see what it's worth on

1170
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: eBay and and you know, make a play. Oh definitely, no. No,

1171
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: My brother and I have a ton of cards. Um,

1172
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: I think ours are just like in you know, boxes

1173
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: in a garage or in an attic or something. But frankly,

1174
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: I'd rather just wait, Gavin and have my kids open

1175
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: them in thirty years. And maybe there's a lot of

1176
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,439
Speaker 1: we ticket then as opposed to now, Like we don't

1177
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: really need it now. And I mean, honestly, if the

1178
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: value is going up from the eighties and nineties to now,

1179
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: isn't it gonna go up? My understanding is that this

1180
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: is the most it's ever been worth it. It didn't.

1181
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't a gradual incline. I think there was like

1182
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: with Ken Griffy, like I think there were so many

1183
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: printed back in the nineties and stuff that he's they

1184
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: actually went down and then because of this they skyrocketed up.

1185
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: That's why I sold my bitcoin a few weeks ago,

1186
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: because I was going, this is, you know, reaching such

1187
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: a high level. I'm gonna I'm gonna get out while

1188
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: it's hot. Now, look it's still gone up. They could

1189
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: go back down, you know, stuff all right? Coming up

1190
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: next to her on Fox Sports Radio, bringing in John

1191
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: McMullan and Eagle Eagles Insider to talk about the Carson

1192
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Wentz departure and does Philadelphia look at a QB six

1193
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: in the draft? But first there's Isaac Loewen Krown. What's

1194
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: trending in sports? Jason Naomi Osaka is just twenty three

1195
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: years old, but today she won her fourth career Grand

1196
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Slam championship, capturing the Australian Open with a six four

1197
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: six three victory over American Jennifer Brady and the NBA

1198
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: Friday Night Joel mb dropped a career high fifty points

1199
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: in the sixers one oh five went over the Bulls.

1200
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: He also had seventeen rebounds, five assists, four blocks, and

1201
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: two steels. Fifty was the number of the night of

1202
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: the NBA because Jamal Murray of Denver also scored a

1203
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: career high fifty at a seventeen point win in Cleveland.

1204
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Nikola Yokich added a triple double sixteen points, twelve rebounds,

1205
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: ten assist. The Cavaliers have lost nine straight. Phoenix rallied

1206
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: from an eleven point fourth quarter deficit to win in

1207
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans by eighteen. That's a twenty nine point beggar

1208
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: pardon a yeah, twenty nine point fourth quarter turnaround. Chris

1209
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Paul fifteen points and a season high nineteen assists. Also

1210
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: on Friday night, the Los Angeles Clippers witting in Utah one,

1211
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: winning over Utah one sixteen to one twelve. That breaks

1212
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: the Jazz nine game winning streak. Janice on Tenna Kompo

1213
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: twenty nine points, nineteen rebounds, eight assists and three blocks

1214
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee's eighty five win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

1215
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,919
Speaker 1: Jason all yours, thank you, Isaac. Back here on Fox

1216
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, It's me Jason McIntyre live from the Farmer's

1217
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: insurance Fox Sports Radio Studio. It's called one at eight

1218
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: Farmers and you could save a whole lot of something

1219
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: on auto insurance. All right, So we talked a lot

1220
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: about Carson Wentz, and man um, I'm not as bullish

1221
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: on him as the national media. So let's bring in

1222
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: someone who you know, I've spent some time covering Wentz

1223
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: in Philly. John McMullen, Eagles insider. John, how are you

1224
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: this morning? Uh? Doing well? Thanks for having me, Jason, Yeah, yeah,

1225
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I loved your stuff on social about what the heck

1226
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: is happening with Carson Wentz, What's going on with the Eagles.

1227
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. What do you make John of this

1228
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: report that Wentz and his coach Doug Peterson did not

1229
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: talk for weeks at a time. We're talking like eight, nine,

1230
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: ten weeks of the season. Well, I think there is

1231
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: a literal point to that. In a figurative point, I

1232
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: mean literally I saw them talking. So I mean, if

1233
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: you want to jake it from a literal standpoint, the

1234
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,479
Speaker 1: starting quarterback and a head coach hap to talk during

1235
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: the game, in practice, game plan. Now, as far as

1236
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: their personal relationship, Uh, that's the part where I think

1237
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: is legitimate. UH, and certainly there was a fracture there

1238
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: whatever adjective if you want to use UM, and Yeah,

1239
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: they probably didn't talk outside of business dealings. I think

1240
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: it's UH a bigger issue than that. I don't think

1241
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was upset UH with just Doug Peterson. I

1242
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: think that's evident by the fact the Eagles fired him

1243
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: and he still wanted out. So I think the bigger

1244
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: crux it's the draft choice of jail and Hurts at

1245
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: fifty three overall UH inreads. I think that's really where

1246
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: it all started. John. Do we know who pushed for

1247
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, because by all accounts, the g M. Howie

1248
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: Roseman is just enamored with Wentz. Apparently someone wrote a story.

1249
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: There's a big carbon cardboard cutout of Wentz in Howie

1250
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,919
Speaker 1: Roseman's office, UH, featured very prominently. If that's the case,

1251
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 1: why draft UH the kid out of Oklahoma Jalen Hurts. Yeah, Well,

1252
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: that's not fair that the cardboard cut out there is

1253
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: sort of all over the Novercare complex and all over

1254
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: every NFL complex there's pictures of players UH, and Howe's

1255
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: UH office has h Carson Wentz or had Carson Wentz

1256
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 1: also had Fleger Cox, who was even bigger. Uh So,

1257
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: I think that was much ado about nothing. But um

1258
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: as far as who wanted Jalen Hurts, Ultimately, I do

1259
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 1: think it was uh Jeffrey Lori, Howie Roseman decision. But

1260
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: and I called it at the time, I called it

1261
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: a vacuum pick. And what I meant was, it looks

1262
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: great on paper, it looks great in the video game.

1263
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: And the Eagles called themselves a quarterback factory. You want

1264
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: to add talent, you want to have a cost effective

1265
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: back up, but they didn't take into account the real

1266
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 1: world human effect and the impact it would have on

1267
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. And look, Carson is just one court. You

1268
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: see it all over this league, Deshaun Watson and Houston,

1269
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in Seattle, Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay Tom Brady.

1270
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Uh even in Tampa Bay. Quarterbacks are entitled and they

1271
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: all are, and they're handed things, and they're catered to

1272
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: and at start at the young age. And you can

1273
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: see the same thing with Aaron and Jordan's love. You

1274
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: can go back to Brett Farb when they drafted Aaron Rodgers.

1275
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: They don't like that now. Now, Carson should have fought

1276
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: through it harder and should have said, Okay, I'm gonna

1277
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: prove something that's fair. But I think that that was

1278
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: the bigger issue than anything else. We'll talk with John McMullen,

1279
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: Eagles insider. Let me ask you, John, I'll be blunt here.

1280
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: Last twenty nine games since once signed the extension, forty

1281
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: eight turnovers. I know the offensive line has been held

1282
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:20,839
Speaker 1: together by duct tape and the receivers of continuously being injured,

1283
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: and you know they missed on Justin Jefferson and drafted Raygor.

1284
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm not diving into all that. Can Carson Wentz be

1285
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: fixed in India or is he broken? Like we keep

1286
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: hanging our hat on. Well, he could be the guy

1287
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: he was in There's really no evidence that he's been

1288
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: that guy since now the Residents, But I think he

1289
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 1: could be the guy from nineteen, which was still an

1290
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: above average quarterback, maybe not an A league quarterback, maybe

1291
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: sort of a top ten back, into the top ten

1292
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,839
Speaker 1: if you have a great supporting cast, maybe twelve or thirteen.

1293
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 1: If the support and cats isn't there, I think that's

1294
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: sort of the ceiling. I do think the injuries and

1295
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: not only the torn A c L and the torn

1296
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 1: L c L, but also the stress fracture in his

1297
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: back is a big injury. And honestly, Jason, I think

1298
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: Carson is a guy who relied on his God given

1299
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 1: physical gifts and didn't take the other stuff seriously because

1300
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: it came easy for him. Uh. And by the other stuff,

1301
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean mechanics and fundamentals and folk work, um. And

1302
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: once he lost what made him special as just a

1303
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: big six ft five athletes, and then you don't have

1304
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: that technique and those mechanics to lean back on. I

1305
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: think that's what happened, and that's where the down take

1306
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 1: comes from. And he's got to embrace that. He's gotta

1307
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 1: he's gotta understand he's gotta work harder at that stuff

1308
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: and and clean up that footwork and become, uh, just

1309
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: a better fundamental quarterback. All right, let me ask you this, John,

1310
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: where are you on the Eagles drafting at six? Now?

1311
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: I will give Doug Peterson some credit. If he didn't

1312
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: tank that final game against Washington, they would be drafting

1313
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 1: ninth out of position for one of the top three

1314
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at six. You know, we assume Trevor Lawrence and

1315
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson will be off the board. Do you see

1316
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles going QB at six or do they trot

1317
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: out um Jalen Hurts this year and not pay a

1318
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: third quarterback given the Wentz dead cap hit. Well, I

1319
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: do think they have to seriously consider it. I think

1320
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: everything comes down to evaluation. But if you think Justin

1321
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: Fields is going to be a superstar for instance, um,

1322
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 1: and even if you have to move up, remember you

1323
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: have extra draft craft capital now from the Carson Wentz trade. Um,

1324
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: you have to do it. And I go back to

1325
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: when Harry Roseman said, when you're up at this point

1326
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,520
Speaker 1: and the Eagles moved up twice, you have to take advantage.

1327
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: And he wasn't. He was talking about the quarterback position.

1328
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 1: So even though things didn't work out for as long

1329
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: as they would have hoped, they're in that position again.

1330
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 1: And if they think Justin Fields or even Trey Lance

1331
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: is going to be a superstar, hey, they have to

1332
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: because not that he has Jalen Hurts he might turn

1333
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: into a competent quarterback. But let's be honest, he was

1334
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: the fifty third pick in the draft and a lot

1335
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: of people thought he shouldn't have gone that hot, So

1336
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 1: we're not talking about that elite skill level that you're

1337
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: talking about with a justin field. You have to s

1338
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: seriously think about it. Friend. That position, I mean, that's

1339
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 1: a tough one because Dak Prescott, you know, was mid

1340
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: round pick, exceeded expectations, Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, all those

1341
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: guys on some level. Does it not come down to

1342
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 1: the coaching and do you trust Nick sirianni Um. He's

1343
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 1: a young guy. He's done some nice things, but again,

1344
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: you know what, what do we trust him to develop?

1345
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts Like it almost feels like a gap year,

1346
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: if you will, John for the Eagles where they kind

1347
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: of find out what they got and hurts and then

1348
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: you know, reconfigure next year because this is an aging team,

1349
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive line and some other positions. Yeah,

1350
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: no question there in the transition actually used that term.

1351
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: I can start going in. I think we lost John.

1352
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 1: It sounds like he was in a car. John McMullen

1353
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: Eagles Inside. Well good stuff uh from John. You can

1354
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: follow him on Twitter at j F McMullen. I don't

1355
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: know that I would disagree that. I don't know that

1356
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: I would agree. Sorry, that Jalen Hurts going, you know,

1357
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: fifty three means much because we've seen a lot of

1358
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks succeed expectations going in the mid rounds. I mean

1359
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: Drew Brees second round pick. You know. Um, remember this

1360
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: is a guy Hurt too, was dominant at Alabama, utterly dominant,

1361
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: and then twa comes in saves the day and it's like, sorry, Jalen,

1362
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts didn't pull a Carson Wentz and whine

1363
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: about it and cry and not talk to his coach

1364
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: and be a moby little college kid. He manned up,

1365
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: went to Oklahoma and had a great run. Um. So

1366
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: I like Jalen Hurts a lot. I like his the

1367
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 1: build up that he's got mentally. Um, I don't know

1368
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: if you can say the same for Carson Wentz, but

1369
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: at any rate, Um, yeah, we'll see what the Eagles

1370
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: coming up next year. On Fox Sports Radio, Why is

1371
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: Drew Brees taking so damn long to make a decision?

1372
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,799
Speaker 1: Is there a chance Drew Brees comes back with the Saints.

1373
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: That's next year? On Fox Sports Radio. Mace Baby, this

1374
01:13:53,880 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 1: is straight up ninety nineties, five or six seven bad boys. Yeah,

1375
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: this was I mean, for me. Everybody has their golden

1376
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: era for rap um, I think without a doubt. For me,

1377
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: it's the nineties, you know, that's when I was a

1378
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: young influential guy. Like you know, I'm on the car

1379
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:17,879
Speaker 1: ride home from the ski trip with the family yesterday

1380
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: and all these songs kept coming on the radio, a

1381
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: lot of them raping. My kids know the rappers, and

1382
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 1: my wife knows him, and I'm like, I've never heard

1383
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 1: the song of my life. I have a theory and

1384
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: I'm working on it for the Hot Seat with on

1385
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: the Odd Couple. But it's basically that in the end,

1386
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,719
Speaker 1: everyone just likes the music they listened to in high school, basically,

1387
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 1: because that's when it comes in, you know, you can

1388
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: like some of the new stuff and what's going on.

1389
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: TikTok that oh no, no whatever, that song. My girlfriend

1390
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: has played that so many times. But anyway, wait, wait, wait,

1391
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: which song is that? Oh no, no, no, no, that's

1392
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna be the most annoying thing to our listeners. I apologize,

1393
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: but that is a TikTok viral song and it won't stop.

1394
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, No, you really like this stuff from your era,

1395
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 1: your formative years. Yeah, no, no, that's spot on. I

1396
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: think it applies to TV and movies as well. Um.

1397
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 1: You know, obviously there are some movies now that I'd

1398
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: love a ton, but I still like you all time comedies.

1399
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 1: You ask me, it's like Wedding Crashers, American Pie, the original. Um,

1400
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: and that's why when they're remaking Coming to America, you

1401
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: or they're I'm sorry, they're making a sequel to it? Who, like,

1402
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 1: where's the interest in that the original? I mean, my

1403
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: only art pushback would be, well, there's a there's a

1404
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: group who always watches that listen when that movie is

1405
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: on cable and I see it, I'll stop and it'll

1406
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: help me. You know. What I mean is yes, the original,

1407
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 1: but the second one, Like they remade Vacation the other

1408
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 1: a few years ago with um Ed Helms as Chevy Chase,

1409
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:55,839
Speaker 1: that is not Vacation. I'm sorry, Like that's Andy Bernard

1410
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 1: from the office, like so oh no way, yeah yeah,

1411
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 1: but that what I mean. It's like, like Coming to

1412
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: America is an iconic movie that you can make a

1413
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 1: sequel and have some references. That's great. You can have

1414
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: the barbershop scene, but there's no there's no argument that

1415
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be better or even on par with

1416
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 1: the originally? Can I have a hot take that I

1417
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 1: don't even think the barbershop scene is top five in

1418
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: that movie, and that's a testament to what a great movie.

1419
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,879
Speaker 1: It's a great movie. Yeah, but what about they remade

1420
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Top Point break right? Yeah? Classic? I mean, I mean

1421
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,600
Speaker 1: that's an epic movie, and the new one has like

1422
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: all these like new wave extreme sports and it's like, okay,

1423
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: I did check it out, and there's some decent scenes,

1424
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 1: but overall, like I didn't think it was. It's totally different.

1425
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 1: The only one I can think of that still has

1426
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 1: not been released theatrically, the Top Gun Remaker Sel. But

1427
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: it's because in the trailer you had the music, the

1428
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: Kenny Loggins music, you had Tom Cruise in the jet.

1429
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: It was all there, you know, Okay, how about this?

1430
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: This is I'm gonna embarrass myself. I don't even care, guys,

1431
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, I keep it hunted here on the radio

1432
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: for you. So yesterday again, car ride home, five hour

1433
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 1: car ride and we get good news about the kids

1434
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: going back to school, my younger ones in school, the

1435
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: other one. We get good news. So I'm fired up

1436
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,600
Speaker 1: in the car and I put on a song that

1437
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: gets me fired up. And it was John Cougar Mellencamp

1438
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: from Footloose, um and it's just an epic song. And

1439
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 1: I put it on and I told the kids. They said, guys,

1440
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: I've shown you clips from this movie on TV, because

1441
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,719
Speaker 1: anytime Footloose is on, there's a bunch of good scenes

1442
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: like fights, um, the tractor scene, like going into the

1443
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: bar and party. You know, I'll call kids, hey, you

1444
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: gotta come over, watches or like karate kid at the

1445
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: end of the I do that. I'm that kind of dad.

1446
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: I know it's nerdy. I don't care, guys, I don't

1447
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: care um, and I'll call them in, I said. And

1448
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: it's like yesterday in the car, I said, what movie

1449
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 1: is this from? And my daughter's like Footloose. I was like, yes,

1450
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: well done, I am that dad. Yeah. I mean, like

1451
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: listen and frankly, I know there's people, man, Jason, what

1452
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 1: a loser. This guy's Jason Dirt. You're moving now, they're

1453
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: moving knowledge. Your children's movie knowledge has to go back

1454
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: the past twenty years. They can't just started the turn

1455
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: of the millennium. And yeah, they need so they're like, oh,

1456
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: I saw I Spy Kids three that my favorite movie.

1457
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:17,680
Speaker 1: Show them the classics. Well, music definitely applies because they

1458
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 1: get a lot of it off TikTok because you know,

1459
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: they don't they don't watch TikTok, but their mom watches

1460
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: it and if there's funny once, she'll show it to

1461
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: the family. And a lot of it is the new music.

1462
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: You know I talked to it's funny. I was in

1463
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 1: like this, not boy Scouts, but like this, this group

1464
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: that you have in kindergarten, first and second grade with

1465
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of dads and we still get together and

1466
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: hang out. One of them is a big time music

1467
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: executive out here in l A and he works with

1468
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:46,759
Speaker 1: a lot of these people. He told me specifically, TikTok

1469
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 1: is to the point now where when you have a

1470
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 1: song before you release it, you need a TikTok dance.

1471
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: That's how these songs are propping. It's like they work together.

1472
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, I've got a new song coming out.

1473
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,640
Speaker 1: We need some tick talk. We need to then go

1474
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: pay the influencers, you know, the guys. People were like

1475
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: eight million, eight million follows on TikTok. No, this is real.

1476
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: I was said, this is happening, we need to pay

1477
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: them to my disapproval, I mean I would agree with you,

1478
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: but guess what. The music industry has been devastated the

1479
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: last decade, right, and this is starting to I was

1480
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: actually stunned that at the halftime show that because my

1481
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,719
Speaker 1: girlfriend was saying, how this song is big on TikTok

1482
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: right now, whatever song it was. When they were on

1483
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 1: the field and they didn't do a bunch of the

1484
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: viral TikTok dances, she was like, I'm sure they're going to.

1485
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: They have to because that would hit with a lot.

1486
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: And so I don't know the reason behind that. I

1487
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: did just see that the weekend has sold a million

1488
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: tickets or whatever to his new concert, which shows the

1489
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: value of the super Wow. Now, I didn't see the

1490
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: halftime show. I was doing a Fox gambling thing. Was

1491
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: it any good? I mean, look, I I can't judge

1492
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: halftime show. To me, it wasn't great. It didn't sound great,

1493
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: and it was I just thought it was boring. You

1494
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: know how usually people come out and collaborate like different gens. Yeah, yeah,

1495
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: was there any collaborator? It was just him, So I

1496
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: think that you know, him paying into the into the

1497
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: half in the halftime show. Um, that might have been it,

1498
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 1: like he might have wanted to just be the solo act.

1499
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: Oh and you said he was doing some like um

1500
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: like the show. Uh, it is a reality show tied

1501
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: into the halftime. My understanding is he there was like

1502
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: a concept leading up to it, with all the things

1503
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 1: from the Grammys to all the different rewards shows that.

1504
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: But but I don't you know, the bandaged face thing

1505
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: was a part of the Grammy publicity of it. Um,

1506
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 1: but he it did translate to amazing sales for his

1507
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: new uh you know, tour coming out, which again I

1508
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: don't even understand how that's working because I don't know

1509
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: any concerts going on. Yeah, we didn't even really get

1510
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: into Drew Brees, but um, we were gonna talk about it.

1511
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. Drew Brees is not gonna come back, Guys,

1512
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 1: He's not. Can we wrap it up at that and

1513
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 1: we get to the final hour. We got a couple

1514
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: of great guests coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio.

1515
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: My guy Rick Buker will stop by. Yeah, Bradley b

1516
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 1: All gonna get traded, is he? I don't know. We'll

1517
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: see what's up with Anthony Davis. Are the Clippers the

1518
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: best team in the West. It's all next our number

1519
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: three here on Fox Sports Radio, Ladies and gentlemen, I

1520
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 1: am coming to you live from the Farmer's Insurance. Fox

1521
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios called one of eight farmers to switch

1522
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: and you could save big on your auto insurance. It's

1523
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 1: really the best thing you could do with your phone

1524
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes. Call one eight farmers and

1525
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 1: start saving today. We are farmers, all right. Two hours

1526
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: in the books a and the final hours probably gonna

1527
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 1: be a lot of NBA college basketball. Let's start with

1528
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: a guy I've known for a little bit. He's been

1529
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: covering the NBA cheez probably at least twenty years. One

1530
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 1: of the top NBA analysts out there, Rick Buker FS one,

1531
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 1: joining the show. Rick, how are you man? I am

1532
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: doing well and that's good. I'm excellent. Look it forward

1533
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: to working with you this week on Undisputed. It's been

1534
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:06,560
Speaker 1: a minute we have worked together. A lot's happened in

1535
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: the last week, Rick, I need to start here. I

1536
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: was looking at the NBA future's odds and it seems

1537
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: like the Brooklyn Nets are gaining ground and increasingly becoming

1538
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: the favorite, uh to win the title. Where do you

1539
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: stand right now on the nets and their odds to

1540
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 1: win the title? And I do want to say they

1541
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 1: are still about twenty five and defensive efficiency, yeah, well

1542
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:33,560
Speaker 1: it's it's so it's interesting because I am not convinced

1543
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: that they can get out of the East. But if

1544
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: they somehow do get out of the East, and this

1545
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 1: is a peculiar year because of the circumstances, UH, devaluing

1546
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: defense overall, which is a possibility, considering that we're almost

1547
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: to the All Star break and the defenses have not improved,

1548
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 1: and you know, based on the reasons, there's a good

1549
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: chance that it may not. I if they happen to

1550
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: get to the finals and they happen to be against

1551
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers, and I can see them winning that and so, uh,

1552
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,440
Speaker 1: it's simply as it often is, it's a matter of matchups.

1553
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: But UH, if they get matched up against Philadelphia, I'm

1554
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: not sure that they can get past them. I don't

1555
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: think they're small ball, which is evidently what they're playing is.

1556
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: While it's good and maybe the best small ball in

1557
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 1: the league right now, I don't know that it's good

1558
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: enough to get past Philadelphia in the playoffs. But if

1559
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 1: they somehow don't have to meet Philadelphia that I could

1560
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: see them coming out of the East and they get

1561
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:39,759
Speaker 1: matched up against the against the Lakers, I could easily

1562
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: see them winning that series. Interesting all right, Rick, So

1563
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,639
Speaker 1: let me back up. You said something about, you know, defense,

1564
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: and and that has been one of the big knocks

1565
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: on the league this year. Well, nobody's playing defense now

1566
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: to defend the league. They had the shortest offseason in

1567
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: sports history, seventy one days. But at the same time, Rick,

1568
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm watching these guys every night, and the shot making

1569
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: is as good as it's ever been in the league.

1570
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody, Terry Rogier is making more threes a

1571
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:07,679
Speaker 1: game right now than Reggie Miller ever did in his career.

1572
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 1: You know, the attempts are there, obviously, but the shooting

1573
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: is just obscene. Rick, You've got guys Davis Bertan's hitting

1574
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: nine threes in a game. I don't know how much

1575
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: of it is it is the bad defense versus simply

1576
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: incredible offense right now. Yeah, I think it's a it's

1577
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,560
Speaker 1: a combination of things. Uh. One, it's the fact that

1578
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 1: guys have gotten uh you know, have gotten attuned to

1579
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,560
Speaker 1: developing their long range and shooting from long range. And

1580
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: let's face it, you do anything enough, you're gonna get

1581
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: pretty good at it. And now you've got guys taking

1582
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: eight threes a game routinely. Uh, You're you're going to

1583
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 1: get comfortable. I think the other thing is is that

1584
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:53,600
Speaker 1: we have a really young officiating crew and uh, and

1585
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 1: so the game is very uneven and there's a lot

1586
01:24:56,760 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: of calls being made that I just I struggle with

1587
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 1: in terms of everything favors the offense, and so that

1588
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,640
Speaker 1: makes it very difficult for guys to play and I

1589
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 1: and I get the sense that teams are looking at

1590
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 1: it now and saying, let's not get into foul trouble. Um,

1591
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:21,879
Speaker 1: let's not even attempt to to play lockdown D outside

1592
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 1: of the York. Tips is always gonna pick that his

1593
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: his calling cards. But this is what it's really come

1594
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 1: down to. I believe if you look at teams in

1595
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: the way I'm measuring teams right now is uh, it's

1596
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: become everything has become about the three point shot, how

1597
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: well you defend it and how well you shoot it.

1598
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: And if you can just make teams a little bit

1599
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: uncomfortable on the perimeter, if you can You're not gonna

1600
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 1: stop three point shots. But if you can make guys

1601
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 1: take it those shots a little bit quicker and maybe

1602
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 1: lower their percentage and maybe run them off the line

1603
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and you shoot a healthy number.

1604
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the teams that are having the most. Look

1605
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: at the Utah Jazz, I would I would, I would bet,

1606
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: and I was just looking at the numbers. I didn't

1607
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: actually crunch them. I would bet that they're differential when

1608
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:18,839
Speaker 1: it comes to three pointers made and three pointers uh allowed.

1609
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: Is is the biggest in the league. And and I'm

1610
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 1: close to looking at that as the separation mark for

1611
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: one teams are actually doing. And it's why we see

1612
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: these This is what where I've been covering it. As

1613
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: you mentioned, I've been covering it for a while. This

1614
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: is what I struggle with. I struggle with teams going

1615
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: up by thirty and it means nothing like right. It's

1616
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 1: just it's like the game. We've often said it doesn't

1617
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: matter until the last couple of minutes of the game

1618
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: that that's never been more true, because you can go by,

1619
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 1: you can go down by thirty in the first half,

1620
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: and you can work your way into back into the

1621
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: game like in six and a half minutes just by

1622
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 1: going on a hot three point shooting street and that

1623
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 1: in a you know, in a macro way kind of

1624
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 1: devalues the game. For me, it's two. It's become a

1625
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: little obscene about like how you don't have to be

1626
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 1: on your p's and queues for forty eight minutes and

1627
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 1: you can still win the game. Yeah. Interesting, And you

1628
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,840
Speaker 1: know the Milwaukee Bucks are one of those big case studies, uh,

1629
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:22,560
Speaker 1: not only falling behind, but the three point shooting. You know,

1630
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: Boutenholzer strategy is we're going to defend the rim. We'll

1631
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:27,760
Speaker 1: give you whatever three you want. And you know, there's

1632
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:29,760
Speaker 1: a bad season for that. They were the number one

1633
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:32,639
Speaker 1: team and defensive efficiency the last two years. There's something

1634
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: like twelve now and Rick, I think they're twenty five

1635
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 1: and opponents three point shooting. I mean, you know, I

1636
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: know Yanna signed to stay there, and it was like, oh, great,

1637
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: de job, great job, your honest just staying there. Mid

1638
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: mid market team wins. But I don't know, I don't

1639
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: know even know if they're getting out of the second

1640
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 1: round again, Rick, I don't know what to make of

1641
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 1: this Milwaukee team. Yeah, it's you know when they got

1642
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 1: through holiday, and obviously he's been out a lot. I

1643
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 1: when I first saw them at the beginning of the year,

1644
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: I liked them more uh than I had at any

1645
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:04,519
Speaker 1: point in the in the couple and in the last

1646
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: few years. But that said, I also they have a

1647
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:14,799
Speaker 1: feel to me of a team that climbed the mountain

1648
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: and didn't quite get there. And now, um, there are

1649
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: other teams that have caught them and passed them. It's

1650
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 1: like it's like their window was there and they didn't

1651
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:28,599
Speaker 1: take advantage of it, and now there And I don't

1652
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 1: want to put this on Budenholzer or to short circuit

1653
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: his his uh standing there, but they look like a

1654
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:39,560
Speaker 1: team that's gotten a little bit tired of hearing the

1655
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 1: same voice and has lost a little bit of their

1656
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,640
Speaker 1: belief in the way that they play, because they're just

1657
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:49,040
Speaker 1: not playing with the same energy. And they were certainly

1658
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 1: a better they were a better team defending the three

1659
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 1: than I've seen and that's where they You're right, that's

1660
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: where they are getting killed. And they've been a disappointment

1661
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 1: overall this year. And so I'll be I'll be interested

1662
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 1: to see, you know, where where that goes with them.

1663
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: But they've you know, they've locked up your honest, and

1664
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 1: that was the most important thing. But that's the other part.

1665
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:15,680
Speaker 1: Two is that you honest really has to for that

1666
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 1: team to improve. He has to improve. And it's not

1667
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 1: in the three point line. It's it's being a playmaker

1668
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: below the free throw line to open up shots around

1669
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 1: the perimeter. And until that happens, they're always going to

1670
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: be a step below where they should be. Uh. Staying

1671
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 1: in the east, Rick, we haven't seen a true center

1672
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: win the m v P, and I believe twenty years

1673
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 1: Shack I think was the last one, unless you want

1674
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,440
Speaker 1: to count KG or Duncan. They were kind of powerfulwards

1675
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: for me. But is embeed your m v P at

1676
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 1: this point? I mean he had fifty last night and

1677
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: and and to piggyback off that. My only thing that

1678
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't love about the Sixers is in a playoff series,

1679
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 1: seth Curry and Danny Green in the backcourt against James

1680
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 1: Harden and Kyrie Irving. I just I don't like Philly's odds,

1681
01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 1: uh from that perspective in the series. Yeah, it's fair,

1682
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 1: you know. The beauty of it is that they do

1683
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:08,759
Speaker 1: have size and length and Uh. Ben Simmons can create

1684
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 1: problems defensively, You've got em beat in the middle, and

1685
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons why he is. He's in

1686
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: the mix for me with m v P if uh.

1687
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:25,599
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard for me right now because it's

1688
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 1: it's so muddle. Lebron James is there, Joel Embid is there.

1689
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 1: Yokich was there early on for me. He's still in

1690
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:41,520
Speaker 1: the conversation. Damian Lillard is is definitely in the conversation.

1691
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 1: You know who. Honestly, if I had to, well, I

1692
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:49,639
Speaker 1: can't say I put him at the top of my ballot,

1693
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 1: but if I was filling out the five man ballot

1694
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 1: right now, Chris Paul would be on that ballot too.

1695
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 1: And uh, simply because I think that he's had a

1696
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: huge influence on the Sun's team overall, and I believe

1697
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 1: that he has. He's not bending a knee to Devin Booker,

1698
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:10,840
Speaker 1: which I think has been one of their problems. Devin

1699
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: Booker is really good as a scorer, he's not all

1700
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 1: that great as a decision maker, and he's not all

1701
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:20,360
Speaker 1: that good at being the number one player on your team.

1702
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Chris Paul has filled that role, and I think It's

1703
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 1: why the Suns are rolling the way they are real

1704
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 1: quick and the rest rick Let's wrap up with you know,

1705
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 1: the Jazz. Everybody loved this twenty one in one streak

1706
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 1: or whatever the number is. And then they go out

1707
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: last night against the full strength Clippers and you know,

1708
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 1: they made it interesting at the end, but ultimately the

1709
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 1: Clippers were they basically led coast to coast. Um. I

1710
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 1: just I have a tough time buying the Jazz because

1711
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:49,839
Speaker 1: of the wing defense, Like you can't put Ruys O'Neil

1712
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:54,680
Speaker 1: and Bogdanovich on Paul George and Kawhile Leonard and then

1713
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 1: against Lebron, who are they going to try it out? Like?

1714
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,599
Speaker 1: I just, I don't know. I like the Jazz a lot,

1715
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 1: but they still seem like second last citizens to the

1716
01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 1: Lakers and Clippers. I've really, I've really been impressed with

1717
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:09,680
Speaker 1: what they've done. I think that they've benefited from the

1718
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 1: fact that they've had the most as much continuity as

1719
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 1: any team in the Western Conference. But I'm with you,

1720
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: I I My question with them has always been do

1721
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: they have enough athleticism, and particularly enough athleticism on the wings? Um?

1722
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 1: Can they slow down teams who play fast and uh

1723
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,560
Speaker 1: and and can they defend? And you're exactly right. I

1724
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: mean that's that's to me, whether it's Joe Ingles or

1725
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:40,880
Speaker 1: it's Bogdanovich. Uh, there, there's there's there are guys there

1726
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:46,560
Speaker 1: that teams can exploit if they get into isolation, isolation situations.

1727
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: And if you've got a shooting big who can draw,

1728
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 1: who can draw Rudy Gobert out as the Clippers can

1729
01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: with a surge of baka. Uh, he's either gonna be

1730
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 1: knocking down three ease or a box is gonna Gobert

1731
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:04,840
Speaker 1: is gonna be in no man's land. Uh. And then

1732
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:11,600
Speaker 1: leave those lesser athletic wings unprotected at the rim. I

1733
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 1: think that is going to be a problem for Utah

1734
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 1: in the postseason. All right, Rick Buker fs one NBA

1735
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 1: analysts follow him on Twitter, and we'll be working together

1736
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,599
Speaker 1: this week on Disputed. Rick looking forward to a buddy,

1737
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 1: I am too, alright, alright, Rick Buker fs one, and

1738
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:31,519
Speaker 1: I think we're in alignment on a lot of stuff.

1739
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:33,680
Speaker 1: I had Sixers going to the finals in the in

1740
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:37,599
Speaker 1: the preseason. I just I don't know Gavin that backcourt man,

1741
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, I like Curry and Green a lot. But

1742
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,080
Speaker 1: when you have to go against Harden and Kyrie, can

1743
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 1: you keep up? And even if you say fine, you know,

1744
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 1: and Rick made a good point. You know, you could

1745
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: bring in motists Bible at guard, but he becomes like

1746
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 1: a liability. Remember how Tony Allen on Memphis, Oh, shoot

1747
01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 1: a lick and the Warriors were like, Hey, we're gonna

1748
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 1: give you any shot you want. And I think the

1749
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,200
Speaker 1: grizz led him to one and then the Warriors one

1750
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:05,600
Speaker 1: like three straight. But you know, Bible can't shoot. I

1751
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I really like where the NBA is right

1752
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: now this season. Um. He made a great point about

1753
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 1: no lead is ever safe none, I mean, and that

1754
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: I haven't been betting on the NBA specifically because of that.

1755
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 1: I think there's probably better value in player props um

1756
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:23,240
Speaker 1: because everything's going over right, I mean yeah, I mean

1757
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 1: even last night, you thought that lead with the Clippers

1758
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 1: was safe at thirteen with like a minute last Donovan

1759
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:33,120
Speaker 1: Mitchell just goes Curry all over that crazy crazy. Um.

1760
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 1: We are live today from the Farmer's Insurance. Fox Sports

1761
01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:40,800
Speaker 1: Radio Studios called Farmers Today for a quote coming up

1762
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 1: next year on Fox Sports Radio. So obviously there's a

1763
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 1: big game Duke and uv A. Today, Duke will be

1764
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 1: without its best player because he opted out or quit,

1765
01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 1: whichever word you prefer to use. Um and I want

1766
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,080
Speaker 1: to quickly revisit that Virginia Duke. We had a gambling

1767
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 1: guy on earlier talk about which side he took. By

1768
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: the way, I'm financially invested. As I put on the

1769
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: Instagram stories in Michigan State, they're off to uh, shall

1770
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 1: we say, a bad start against Indiana. Michigan State. I

1771
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,519
Speaker 1: didn't know they were four and nine in the Big Ten.

1772
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 1: I was Sam, what the hell is that about? Yeah,

1773
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 1: they're just not like Duke. You know, they haven't had

1774
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: a good season. You know. I don't know if it's

1775
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,759
Speaker 1: because there's no crowds at the Breslin Center or Cameron Indoor.

1776
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:23,560
Speaker 1: You know, there's inexperience, But yeah, they Michigan State just

1777
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 1: underwent no Kentucky right, Kentucky's down, Blue Bloods down, Kentucky down,

1778
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:32,080
Speaker 1: dukedown Michigan State. So when was the last time there

1779
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:35,600
Speaker 1: was an NC Torrent without Izokala, Pari and coach k

1780
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:39,760
Speaker 1: It's probably been decades. I would guess it's somewhere in

1781
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 1: the eighties or something. I I did hit on your guy,

1782
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 1: Luca Garza against Wisconsin the other night. What did you

1783
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 1: you wagered on him? I had Iowa and they look great,

1784
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Wisconsin starts bombing threes.

1785
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 1: It was closed in. Yeah, pulled away, that's garden. It

1786
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 1: was great. Yeah. Yeah, you like that. He's a player

1787
01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:58,240
Speaker 1: of the year without a doubt. Yeah. I saw you

1788
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 1: getting into a social media uh kerfuffle with who Aaron Torres. Yeah,

1789
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 1: these prisoners of the moment, they gotta you gotta take

1790
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:10,400
Speaker 1: the whole body of work that Luca Garza is just

1791
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 1: an all time great productive scoring player. So dud dudes,

1792
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 1: the one of the fastest to two thousand points scorers

1793
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:22,920
Speaker 1: of all times. So you know the other thing, Sam,

1794
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 1: and this applies to you know, college basketball, college football, NBA, NFL.

1795
01:36:29,400 --> 01:36:31,599
Speaker 1: You can only really cut through now. There's so much

1796
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:35,720
Speaker 1: media noise if you say something counter counter intuitive to

1797
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 1: everything that's out there. Right, So saying a guy from

1798
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 1: Illinois should be the player of the year, No wait, wait,

1799
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 1: who is a great player? He's a year. No, he's

1800
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 1: not the player here because he's been he's been playing

1801
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,600
Speaker 1: really clutch ball but there it's been against teams that

1802
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 1: they should be wiping the floor with by and he's

1803
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:53,599
Speaker 1: having to come back and bail him out. So great player,

1804
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 1: he is a great All American. Uh possibly. I mean

1805
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 1: the thing is also Illinois one like five or six

1806
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 1: in a row, so or at least five or six

1807
01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 1: or something like that, so they're they're on a hot street.

1808
01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 1: They're up to number four or five in the country.

1809
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:08,639
Speaker 1: So definitely. I mean assume his name has been floating

1810
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 1: around as a Player of the year. Naturally, I guess

1811
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:12,240
Speaker 1: what I was trying to get at his Like this

1812
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:15,560
Speaker 1: week you heard stuff that Trevor Lawrence is not the

1813
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the draft from three teams, Like of course,

1814
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:21,040
Speaker 1: he is, like, but don't be dumb. You'll watch like

1815
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 1: a game and a guy will go off, and then

1816
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 1: maybe you'll watch it another same team, like a couple

1817
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:26,360
Speaker 1: of weeks later he goes up, Oh, this is the

1818
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:27,720
Speaker 1: player of here, this is a player here right. No,

1819
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: but you gotta look at the fact that who's leaving

1820
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:31,240
Speaker 1: the nation scoring who's had the most thirty point games,

1821
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:33,679
Speaker 1: and then that would be Lucacas. I just think people

1822
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 1: are trying to cut through and go viral and make

1823
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 1: a name for themselves by saying Zach Wilson is a

1824
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:44,719
Speaker 1: better NFL prospect than Trevor Lawrence. Nope, half of college,

1825
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 1: half of NFL fans had no clue who Zach Wilson was.

1826
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:51,960
Speaker 1: Six months ago in August, nobody knew Zach. Nobody he

1827
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 1: was like Joe. I don't know if it was Joe Burrow,

1828
01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:58,599
Speaker 1: like bouncing around or doing nothing special. But Zack Wilson

1829
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 1: was an okay quarterback. He was not like even a

1830
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 1: first second, third round pick. And now like in the

1831
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 1: twenties and touchdowns last year and then he had I

1832
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:08,680
Speaker 1: think this year he had more TVs than his last

1833
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,200
Speaker 1: two years combined, and it's like, all of a sudden,

1834
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:13,080
Speaker 1: he's better than Trevor Lawrence. Like stop it, stop trying

1835
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 1: to make a name for yourself. I just feels cheap

1836
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 1: to me. Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio

1837
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 1: will do the jail and Johnson story. Keep it locked.

1849
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: then there's you know, games canceled left and right, and

1850
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking up at the screen. There's one game on now. Um,

1851
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, is there anything else good? Any other

1852
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:18,440
Speaker 1: good games today? Graving Gavin, I mean, Michigan State is unwatchable.

1853
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 1: Holy cow. Yeah. The college basketball thing is uh pretty

1854
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: tough right now, Sam? Is there any other Big Ten

1855
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 1: games going on? Now? We got Virginia Duke later on,

1856
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: which you know obviously we know a fire on that.

1857
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 1: But before we go back to the Jalen Johnson story,

1858
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 1: I just if I'm a college kid and my college

1859
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:42,559
Speaker 1: existence right now is you or do everything from your dorm,

1860
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:44,920
Speaker 1: And if you're an athlete, you go practice and then

1861
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 1: you go back to the dorm. You can't even go

1862
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:50,200
Speaker 1: to the library, right, You can't even go to workout.

1863
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:53,840
Speaker 1: You can't go to really, you can't do anything, the

1864
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 1: dining hall, none of this stuff. How is that a

1865
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 1: college existence? You know, way back last summer we had

1866
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:02,560
Speaker 1: talked about take a gap year, like who's paying I

1867
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 1: don't know, fifty senecate to college when it's not like

1868
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 1: a real college life and the classes are on zoom,

1869
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: Like I just didn't see really see the point. And

1870
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Johnson quitting to me is just like

1871
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 1: a huge sign. It's like, what is college basketball gonna do?

1872
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 1: I like March Madness as much as anybody. You know,

1873
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:26,479
Speaker 1: Good Jagon Baylor are undefeated this year, and it's like

1874
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 1: if you just stopped the guy on the street and said, hey,

1875
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:32,720
Speaker 1: who give me two undefeated teams in basketball, they wouldn't know.

1876
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:37,400
Speaker 1: It's just been a weird year. I don't know, Gavin, Like,

1877
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: are you watching more Netflix at night during the week

1878
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,720
Speaker 1: and be a college basketball We just started a new

1879
01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 1: show with the kids called Raises It Raising Dieon. I

1880
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:51,280
Speaker 1: don't know something, Dion. Um, it's a kid with like

1881
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 1: kind of super epowers. Um, it has a lost vibe

1882
01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: to it. Um. Michael B. Jordan is kind of in

1883
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:04,640
Speaker 1: the show. Uh, it's not bad, but like, you know,

1884
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 1: football season's over, there's like we're supposed to decompress, aren't we. Yeah,

1885
01:41:11,200 --> 01:41:13,639
Speaker 1: there is such a drop off in the sports calendar

1886
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 1: between the NFL season and then February when it goes

1887
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 1: into basketball. It's just not the games don't mean as

1888
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 1: much now. Certain games Jazz Clippers last night, that felt

1889
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 1: like a big game. Nets Lakers the other night. That

1890
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:30,040
Speaker 1: was a big game. But you know, and and Joel

1891
01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:32,720
Speaker 1: Embiid you knows performance, But how many people are really

1892
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,240
Speaker 1: watching that? How many people are watching you know, the

1893
01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 1: second coming of Shock last night. That was pretty exciting

1894
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 1: for for hoop heads. But like most people are watching,

1895
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, they're watching streaming television. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

1896
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 1: the streaming stuff is interesting. You know, HBO Max is

1897
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:50,680
Speaker 1: a couple of good things. By the way, I heard

1898
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:55,360
Speaker 1: Tenant is now on HBO max. Um. I've got to

1899
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 1: check that out. But I'm always open to ideas for stuff.

1900
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm cool putting in the bed and then just not

1901
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 1: really watching and sweating it. The thing about football it's

1902
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: so great is you could break down the games for

1903
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:08,320
Speaker 1: like five days, look at the injury reports, see where

1904
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 1: the money is going. And then it all leads up

1905
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 1: to Sunday or Thursday or Sunday night or Monday. But

1906
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 1: with basketball, you just can't invest that same energy and

1907
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:21,599
Speaker 1: every single day in college basketball in NFL or NBA

1908
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 1: and expect to like do that for five days. The

1909
01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:28,760
Speaker 1: market share on on fantasy football too, was insane, Like

1910
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:32,719
Speaker 1: compared to you're playing fantasy basketball, right, it's not as exciting.

1911
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,000
Speaker 1: I've done it before. It's in and out, you know.

1912
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:39,200
Speaker 1: And I've done fantasy baseball plenty of times. Baseball is

1913
01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 1: you know, especially when your team is terrible, it's should

1914
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:48,920
Speaker 1: talk about your guy, Uh tattoos, big deal, fourteen year,

1915
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty million dollars deal. It's so strange because,

1916
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:56,560
Speaker 1: again my takes on this were limited to when I

1917
01:42:56,640 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 1: popped open social media, but it wasn't universe a praise

1918
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,479
Speaker 1: for keeping him, and I was surprised. I was like,

1919
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 1: this is a great idea, it's a good move. People

1920
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 1: were bashing uh, the idea of ohs to stay in

1921
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:13,719
Speaker 1: a small market and this is a media Okay. People

1922
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 1: that worry about what marketing they're not. They're not people

1923
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:20,800
Speaker 1: you want to listen to. That. That's like executives in

1924
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:24,519
Speaker 1: a spot I don't even know who's Yeah. The point

1925
01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 1: is a player got a fourteen year deal. He'll be

1926
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:32,840
Speaker 1: thirty five when he's done. Yeah, My Angels gave a

1927
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 1: ten year deal to Albert Pools, who's like turning forty

1928
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:38,800
Speaker 1: this year or something. He might be over Yeah, I

1929
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:42,160
Speaker 1: mean tattoos by anyone's metric is is he's going to

1930
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 1: get a bargain deal of like for on the Padre

1931
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:47,600
Speaker 1: said he's only gonna make a year. Yeah. Is it

1932
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 1: weird that in baseball? Trevor Bauer, right, huge move um,

1933
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: like the stars are coming west. Although all I hear

1934
01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 1: in NBA and NFL is oh, the tax decisions, the

1935
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,040
Speaker 1: tax decisions. You know, who wants to go to California.

1936
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:04,360
Speaker 1: It's like, well there is pretty nice weather out here,

1937
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 1: and yay, I mean it makes it a lot easier

1938
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:09,080
Speaker 1: to live fourteen years in San Diego. Covered up next

1939
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:14,320
Speaker 1: year on Fox Sports Radio, Nick Ferguson from Denver. Are

1940
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:17,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos really the leaders to get to Shaun Watson?

1941
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:21,400
Speaker 1: But first, here's Isaac Loewen Crown with what's trending? Jason?

1942
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:23,840
Speaker 1: What were you doing when you were twenty three? What

1943
01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 1: was I doing when I was twenty three? What were

1944
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 1: we all doing when we were twenty three? Naomi Osaka

1945
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:32,439
Speaker 1: is twenty three, and today she won her fourth career

1946
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:37,519
Speaker 1: Grand Slam championship. Already, she captured the Australian Open, defeating

1947
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: American Jennifer Brady in straight sets. In the NBA Friday Night,

1948
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,439
Speaker 1: we had two fifty point performances. Joel emb to the

1949

01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: seventeen rebounds, five assists, four blocks, and two steals. Jamal

1952
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 1: Murray of Denver a career high fifty and there one

1953
01:44:57,080 --> 01:44:59,680
Speaker 1: twenty to one oh three victory at Cleveland. But get this,

1954
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,760
Speaker 1: Murray did not attempt a single free throw. He's the

1955
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 1: first player in NBA history to achieve a fifty point

1956
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 1: game without attempting a single free throw. Nicola Yoka to

1957
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:13,519
Speaker 1: a triple double for Denver sixteen points, twelve rebounds, and

1958
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:17,000
Speaker 1: ted assists. Calves have lost nine straight. Phoenix rallied from

1959
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:19,120
Speaker 1: an eleven point fourth quarter deficit to win in New

1960
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:23,640
Speaker 1: Orleans by eighteen for a twenty nine point fourth quarter turnaround.

1961
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Clippers to beat in Utah Jazz one

1962
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 1: sixteen to one twelve, breaking the jazz Is nine game

1963
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:32,599
Speaker 1: winning streak in Janis an Teda Kompo at twenty nine points,

1964
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 1: nineteen rebounds, eight assists and three blocks as Milwaukee bested. Okay,

1965
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:41,720
Speaker 1: see five. So what were you doing when you were

1966
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 1: twenty three, Jason? You know, a couple of years ago,

1967
01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:48,840
Speaker 1: chasing the skirt around in New York City, had not

1968
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: met my wife. So I was trying to do like

1969
01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 1: a Tuesday night go out, Thursday night go out, Saturday

1970
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 1: night go out, and um, it was fun. You know,

1971
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:01,840
Speaker 1: I was wasted a lot of money. Also, how about you, Isaac? Uh?

1972
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 1: The same? Yeah, same? All right, Let's well, thank you, Isaac.

1973
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,160
Speaker 1: Let's welcome to Nick ferguson one oh four three the

1974
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:13,960
Speaker 1: Fan in Denver. He's joining us on the Farmer's Insurance

1975
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:17,320
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studio hotline called when ade Farmers and

1976
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: you can save a whole lot on something of auto insurance.

1977
01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:24,679
Speaker 1: All right, Nick Ferguson, how are you men? I'm doing wild, guys,

1978
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 1: how about you? Excellent? Can't complain just waiting watching the

1979
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 1: quarterback Domino's fall. Matt Stafford to l A. Carson Wentz

1980
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 1: to Indie. What is Denver's game plan? Nick, Well, it's

1981
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 1: kind of a wait and see at this very moment

1982
01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 1: because they've got one guy that everyone's eyeing is Shaun Watson.

1983
01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 1: But the problem with that is the management in Houston

1984
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 1: and they're saying, hey, listen, we're not going to make

1985
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: a move on to Shaun Watson to kind of pawn

1986
01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:56,720
Speaker 1: him off on anyone else. Now, that sounds great, and

1987
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,360
Speaker 1: I look at that as being lip service, but no

1988
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 1: one as though, the Texas don't have a first rounder

1989
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:05,120
Speaker 1: or second rounder because Bill O'Brien traded for Lamry Tumsu

1990
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: for Miami. Now, the Texas are in a position where

1991
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 1: they have some wiggle rooms from negotiating power. So if

1992
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:14,840
Speaker 1: they get the right offer, then there's a possibility they

1993
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:17,439
Speaker 1: will move in. But I still think that maybe the

1994
01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:19,680
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphense or maybe the New York Jets have a

1995
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:22,400
Speaker 1: struggle to offer, then the Denver Broncos. Yeah, I don't know.

1996
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Drew lock situation is interesting because they

1997
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 1: wanted to give him a shot last year and then

1998
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:29,320
Speaker 1: all his supporting cast gets injured. You know, like, do

1999
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:32,880
Speaker 1: we have a full grade on Drew Lock given he

2000
01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:35,519
Speaker 1: didn't really have Courtland Sutton at all. Uh, and they

2001
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: had injuries all over the place. Well, I would say yes.

2002
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:43,519
Speaker 1: Now there are some you know, loyal Broncos fans that

2003
01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 1: would say no because they point to, you know, no

2004
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:51,280
Speaker 1: mini camp, training camp, new Oc. You mentioned the injuries,

2005
01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:55,000
Speaker 1: but uh did I mean there were certain teams in

2006
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 1: the NFL that went through the same thing. I mean,

2007
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 1: look at you know, the Cincinnati Bengals with o'baro being

2008
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, justin Herbert, all these young quarterbacks went

2009
01:48:04,280 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 1: through the same thing. So Drew Lock wasn't a rookie

2010
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:11,160
Speaker 1: as much as John Elway and the Broncos organization tries

2011
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 1: to push that out, that narrative that Drew Lock this

2012
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,240
Speaker 1: was just a rookie year for Drew like Nor wasn't.

2013
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 1: Here's a guy going into his second year and it's

2014
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 1: not an amateur sport, it's a professional sport. You've had

2015
01:48:21,880 --> 01:48:24,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be in the league for a while

2016
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:26,879
Speaker 1: and learn what it means to be an NFL quarterback.

2017
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:29,080
Speaker 1: And for me, guys, I just look at the tape.

2018
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:32,280
Speaker 1: When you look at what Pat Sherman eventually had to

2019
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:34,800
Speaker 1: do with his offense. He had to water it down

2020
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:38,599
Speaker 1: because Drew Lock could not see the entire field when

2021
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:41,679
Speaker 1: you break when you break down this game, there there's

2022
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 1: like eighty percent of his throws that went to the

2023
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 1: right side of the field. And that's why early on

2024
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 1: in the season and started with the Kansas City game

2025
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 1: that you saw guys like Jerry Judy, fantastic wide receiver

2026
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 1: at Alabama. How does he come to Denver and he

2027
01:48:57,280 --> 01:49:00,200
Speaker 1: doesn't look the same. That's because anytime he's on the

2028
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:04,599
Speaker 1: backside of any throws, he's not getting the ball at all.

2029
01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:09,320
Speaker 1: And that all goes back to Drew up. Wow, that's

2030
01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: a brutal takedown of Lock. I was I was a

2031
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 1: little more optimistic. I gotta be honest. Uh, Nick, Like

2032
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 1: I thought, maybe you could get some wiggle room, but

2033
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're totally out on him. Here's my thing.

2034
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 1: If John Elway was so bad at picking a quarterback,

2035
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 1: it seems like he's officially now backed out of that spot.

2036
01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 1: Do you think this helps or hurts locks chances of

2037
01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 1: ended up being the guy next year? It hurts the

2038
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:34,719
Speaker 1: say there's a new a new guy and George Payton

2039
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 1: comes in, and we all know this. Anytime there's a

2040
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 1: new head coach, there's a new GM, they want their

2041
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:44,200
Speaker 1: own gods. And if this should have been a sign

2042
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:46,920
Speaker 1: to Drew Lock and a lot of Drew Lock apologies

2043
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:50,120
Speaker 1: as I like to call him. You know, when when

2044
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 1: George Payton goes out and he makes a move for

2045
01:49:53,320 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, even though he's not able to bring him in,

2046
01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,320
Speaker 1: that should tell you right there. And every player knows.

2047
01:50:00,400 --> 01:50:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are drafted. You've been in

2048
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 1: the league five years. We've seen some of the top

2049
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 1: players in this league. Teams move away from you. Look

2050
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 1: at Brett Farr, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Johnny United. Drew

2051
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 1: Lott isn't any different. The only thing is he's learning

2052
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:19,439
Speaker 1: right now what it means to be an NFL quarterback

2053
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 1: because because John Elway drafted him, John Elway protected him

2054
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 1: and coddled him. Because this was a reflection on John Elway,

2055
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback who was not able to

2056
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 1: draft and develop his own position. All right, what about

2057
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:37,719
Speaker 1: on the defensive side, Nick, you played safety in Denver.

2058
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:41,880
Speaker 1: Von Miller's situation is very weird. Usually you hear some

2059
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 1: bread crumbs, some stuff that leaks out. I haven't. I've

2060
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:47,880
Speaker 1: yet to hear really concrete details on what the hell

2061
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:50,240
Speaker 1: is going on with von Miller, not just his contract,

2062
01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:52,200
Speaker 1: but with the law. What what what's the latest on

2063
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:56,640
Speaker 1: your end? Well, let's let's start with the law situation.

2064
01:50:56,760 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 1: There was something that was put out about him, you know,

2065
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 1: arless one and all of these things. And for me,

2066
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 1: before you put out stories like that, you need to

2067
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:09,439
Speaker 1: make sure you have all the details because if you don't,

2068
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 1: you can paint the picture up an individual. Now, did

2069
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: he have some kind of issues with the woman that

2070
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 1: he's involved with, Yes, he did, but we don't know

2071
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 1: all the details, and you can be convicted in the

2072
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:24,599
Speaker 1: court of popular opinion. And it's not great for Vaune

2073
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:27,200
Speaker 1: known as though he's on this club option. When I

2074
01:51:27,320 --> 01:51:30,560
Speaker 1: look at his situation, it's one of those situations that

2075
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:33,320
Speaker 1: we've seen with a lot of players. You perform well

2076
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:35,280
Speaker 1: for a team, you make a lot of money. He's

2077
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl m v P. But it gets to

2078
01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 1: a point where people started looking at you. Once you

2079
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:43,680
Speaker 1: pass seven and you're in your tent here, there's an

2080
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:46,559
Speaker 1: idea that that that you're done. He had an ankle

2081
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 1: injury last year before the start of the season, and

2082
01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:52,840
Speaker 1: now most people here in Denver have wrote him up.

2083
01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I've talked to Shaq Barrett, DeMarcus where and

2084
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:59,640
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips, all guys who've been around him. They say, well,

2085
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:02,519
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he is one of the most fierce

2086
01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:05,519
Speaker 1: pass rushers in this league. So with the Broncos and

2087
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:08,559
Speaker 1: George Peyton, here's what the issue. Do you pick up

2088
01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 1: that club option if you don't want to pick it up,

2089
01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:13,160
Speaker 1: which I don't think that they will. They're going to

2090
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 1: ask him the restructure. Now what does what do those

2091
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 1: numbers look like? If it's not numbers that m Von

2092
01:52:20,200 --> 01:52:22,600
Speaker 1: in his camp field as though they're comfortable with he

2093
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:25,160
Speaker 1: could say way by by to the Denver Broncos in

2094
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:29,040
Speaker 1: the negotiations, it's all about leverage. And if you think

2095
01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:32,760
Speaker 1: Von Millers doesn't have leverage, think about Kansas City. If

2096
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 1: you lose Von Miller, you can see him twice a

2097
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 1: year in the Kansas City chief uniform. I was getting

2098
01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:41,240
Speaker 1: optimistic to Jets and Robert Sala could make a run

2099
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 1: at him, But I don't know. I just we've seen

2100
01:52:44,040 --> 01:52:47,800
Speaker 1: defensive ends have really long productive careers in their thirties.

2101
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:51,000
Speaker 1: They're not like cornerbacks. Julius Peppers comes to mind. Reggie White.

2102
01:52:51,360 --> 01:52:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, you could be thirty five and still an

2103
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:55,160
Speaker 1: impactful edge rusher in this league. I know J. J.

2104
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 1: Watt has had some injuries. Do you think von you know,

2105
01:52:58,160 --> 01:52:59,880
Speaker 1: still has a lot, a lot of mileage left in

2106
01:52:59,920 --> 01:53:04,920
Speaker 1: the tank. Absolutely, because he's an edge Russier. He's not

2107
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 1: playing linebacker. He's not playing fourteen yards away from the

2108
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 1: ball like a safety, and it's not like a huge

2109
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:13,280
Speaker 1: impact on his body. His whole thing is speed and

2110
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:17,320
Speaker 1: agility that hasn't really deteriorated in my mind, even though

2111
01:53:17,360 --> 01:53:20,160
Speaker 1: I know he only had a six eight sacks one

2112
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 1: year that those eight sacks came with Bond was dealing

2113
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:27,800
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. So that's eight sacks with the

2114
01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 1: bad knee. Imagine what he does and we've seen it

2115
01:53:31,400 --> 01:53:35,040
Speaker 1: happened when he is one of percent healthy. And DeMarcus

2116
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:37,360
Speaker 1: where when I talked to him before the Super Bowl,

2117
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:40,320
Speaker 1: I asked him the question about age and being an

2118
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:43,160
Speaker 1: edge Russian. He said, when he left Dallas, he was

2119
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 1: thirty years old and they thought he was done and

2120
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:48,800
Speaker 1: what he considered to be the dirty thirty, meaning the

2121
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:51,479
Speaker 1: age of thirty, he was still able. He was still

2122
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:54,000
Speaker 1: able to come to Denver and help them go to

2123
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:57,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So edge rushers, I mean they aged

2124
01:53:57,479 --> 01:54:01,719
Speaker 1: just like every other player, for each individual player is different.

2125
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:06,639
Speaker 1: We just watched thee old quarterback save all father time

2126
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:10,599
Speaker 1: and one another super Bowl. So I think Vonn Vonn

2127
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:13,160
Speaker 1: is in good hand. And if I would, if I'm

2128
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:15,880
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, I don't move past him. I'll be

2129
01:54:15,920 --> 01:54:17,840
Speaker 1: structure the deal and I find a way to keep

2130
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:20,479
Speaker 1: them here. Alright. Nick ferguson one oh four three the

2131
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:23,680
Speaker 1: Fan in Denver. Great stuff on the Broncos. Boy, I

2132
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:26,599
Speaker 1: hope Deshaun Watson goes to my Jets, not your Broncos. Nick,

2133
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:32,120
Speaker 1: thanks for the appreciates, alright. Nick Ferguson, Uh, interesting thought.

2134

2135
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:37,360
Speaker 1: Holy cal. I don't know who if they're more out

2161
01:55:53,600 --> 01:55:55,880

2162
01:55:56,040 --> 01:56:00,600
Speaker 1: let's do it. Okay, okay, um, no, let's start with

2163
01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:04,080
Speaker 1: You want to start with college or NFL College or

2164
01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 1: NFL most overrated quarterback in the NFL? Right now? Baker Mayfield?

2165
01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 1: Goodness after he gets a playoff win? Good Parson wentz. Oh,

2166
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 1: that's a real answer. Um. Is Matt Stafford getting to

2167
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:24,920
Speaker 1: the NFC championship next year? Over under? Three and a

2168
01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:33,040
Speaker 1: half Super Bowls? One for Patrick Mahomes. Oh, he's twenty five.

2169
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 1: I think over under for how many Patrick Mahomes three

2170
01:56:37,080 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 1: and a half Super Bowl victories? Take the over? Yeah,

2171
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:45,200
Speaker 1: I was, I was leading that way to Um, you

2172
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:49,960
Speaker 1: can invite any two athletes alive or dead to dinner.

2173
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:53,600
Speaker 1: Which two athletes are you inviting? Well, I've already had

2174
01:56:53,640 --> 01:57:00,080
Speaker 1: dinner with them. Oh okay, who are they? My go

2175
01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 1: Jordan's and Mike Tyson. Now was that at the same dinner? No,

2176
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:07,280
Speaker 1: it was not, Jeez, it was this Michael Jordan when

2177
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:08,960
Speaker 1: he was But I was, I was at dinner with

2178
01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson and ray Lewis at the same dinner. Well,

2179
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:14,240
Speaker 1: that must have been intense. I would say Ray lewis

2180
01:57:14,760 --> 01:57:17,640
Speaker 1: one of the most intense but also friendly guys I've

2181
01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 1: met at Fox. Super nice guy. Um Beyonce or Whitney

2182
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 1: Houston in their prime, Trish Harrington, stop it, I'm talking

2183
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:32,920
Speaker 1: about singing ability. Come on, we can't do that, man,

2184
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 1: We'll get We'll get hammered. Don't kill us on social media.

2185
01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:40,800
Speaker 1: Beyonce or Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston's body has a voice

2186
01:57:40,840 --> 01:57:45,440
Speaker 1: like Whitney no One. And and here's what's interesting, Beyonce.

2187
01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:50,760
Speaker 1: My question for Beyonce would be comparable to Janet Who's

2188
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:54,880
Speaker 1: the better entertainer because voice wise, Whitney's all by herself. Like,

2189
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 1: you gotta go into Aretha Franklin or Can or Shaka

2190
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 1: Khan reference. Yeah, you gotta go into those types. When

2191
01:58:04,160 --> 01:58:09,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about vocal vocal skills. Beyonce's dope, but be

2192
01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:12,160
Speaker 1: she ain't on that level though. Okay, while we're on

2193
01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:17,160
Speaker 1: music with LaVar Arrington, more talented performer Chris Brown or

2194
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:23,720
Speaker 1: Bruno Marris no One is? You know, Chris Brown is

2195
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:30,600
Speaker 1: almost comparable to a modern day Michael Jackson in in

2196
01:58:30,840 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: in a in a very weird way. But in terms

2197
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:37,280
Speaker 1: of talent, you know, the dude can paint. Chris Brown,

2198
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:40,560
Speaker 1: Bruno Chris Brown, he can paint, he can dance, But

2199
01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:43,480
Speaker 1: first off, Bruno Mars would not be able to stand

2200
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:46,160
Speaker 1: up to Chris Brown. And in a dance competition. Oh,

2201
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 1: I know, Chris Brown is really good. I've heard the

2202
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:53,160
Speaker 1: stories about Jamie Fox contest. I've heard Chris Brown's you

2203
01:58:53,200 --> 01:58:54,960
Speaker 1: know what it is, LaVar. I don't think I can

2204
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 1: ever get over the whole Rihanna thing and that with

2205
01:58:57,640 --> 01:58:59,360
Speaker 1: Chris Brown. And maybe that's why I'm just not a

2206
01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:02,120
Speaker 1: fan of how on all his stuff, his music, everything,

2207
01:59:02,160 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 1: And I gotta get past that. I get it. People

2208
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:07,280
Speaker 1: make mistakes and me and there was well, you know,

2209
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:09,760
Speaker 1: there there was a whole lot of fifty fifty back

2210
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:13,160
Speaker 1: and forth on on that, that whole scenario when when

2211
01:59:13,200 --> 01:59:14,880
Speaker 1: you die, because I didn't want to like him after

2212
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,000
Speaker 1: that either, And then I had to dissect it and

2213
01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of take a step back and look at it

2214
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:21,760
Speaker 1: and say, well, you know, the kid deserves a reprieve.

2215
01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's gotten in trouble since, but just

2216
01:59:24,520 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 1: not the same type of trouble. You know, he had

2217
01:59:26,880 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 1: people test him, but we're just talking purely talent though

2218
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:32,520
Speaker 1: we're not taking the personal side and that we're saying

2219
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:36,880
Speaker 1: purely talent. Chris Brown is head and shoulders above Bruno Mars.

2220
01:59:37,080 --> 01:59:42,320
Speaker 1: Bruno Mars makes great music. Though, if you're Brown NFL GM,

2221
01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:45,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is off the board. Do you take Zack

2222
01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:48,960
Speaker 1: Wilson for your team or Justin Fields. I'm a Justin

2223
01:59:49,040 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 1: Fields fan. I've been saying that. I said in the

2224
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:56,839
Speaker 1: biggest game of of Justin Fields's career, which was against Clemson,

2225
01:59:57,080 --> 02:00:00,400
Speaker 1: the out class Trevor Lawrence and the game, And t

2226
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:02,800
Speaker 1: J hates me saying it because he doesn't believe so,

2227
02:00:03,360 --> 02:00:06,320
Speaker 1: But I think that he did. I think he outclassed

2228
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:08,600
Speaker 1: him and he showed in the biggest game of his

2229
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:11,480
Speaker 1: career until he lost that next game, right until he

2230
02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:15,120
Speaker 1: lost that next game. Um, but at that moment, that

2231
02:00:15,280 --> 02:00:18,320
Speaker 1: was the biggest game because you're going against the biggest,

2232
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:21,040
Speaker 1: the biggest prospect coming out of college this year and

2233
02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:25,520
Speaker 1: you you threw bombs. You were dropping bombs on on Clemson.

2234
02:00:25,680 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 1: So I know that LaVar Arrington already would take Michael

2235
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:35,480
Speaker 1: Parsons if I didn't take Trevor Lawrence. Yes, Uh, we

2236
02:00:35,560 --> 02:00:37,280
Speaker 1: know you already won the lottery, making a lot of

2237
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:41,120
Speaker 1: NFL money. But let's say LaVar Arrington won a two

2238
02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:45,080
Speaker 1: million dollar lottery. What is the first car you're purchasing?

2239
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:47,920
Speaker 1: And I know it's not you. I don't love cars,

2240
02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:49,840
Speaker 1: I know, but you could get any car right now?

2241
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:54,000
Speaker 1: What are you getting? I'm driving the car that I have.

2242
02:00:54,560 --> 02:00:57,000
Speaker 1: I have a Ford Fusion. Get the hell out of

2243
02:00:57,040 --> 02:00:59,640
Speaker 1: here and let me tell you why. You know, I

2244
02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 1: had a crazy, I had a nice, I had a

2245
02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Benz when I came out here, a sixty three a

2246
02:01:04,760 --> 02:01:09,280
Speaker 1: MG and and you know what for what? You're sitting

2247
02:01:09,360 --> 02:01:13,600
