We might need eight hours tonight, so 14 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens when three am rolls around, But 15 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: for now we're gonna try to jam eight hours into four. 16 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: I want to start with the Lakers, because if you 17 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: watch the game Saturday night against the Knicks, it's got 18 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: to be maddening to be a Lakers fan. And I 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: know a thing or two about the Lakers. I was 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: an intern at the Forum Magic's rookie year. I was 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: front and center for a lot of the showtime, and 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: I've always had a soft spot in my heart for 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: the franchise, and I've always defined the Lakers as a 24 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: as a franchise defined by their eras going all the 25 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: way back to the Wilt Chamberlain era, then the Elgin 26 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: Baylor Jerry West era, then of course the Magic Kareem 27 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: era nine finals in twelve years, five NBA titles. That 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: was segued into a few years later the Kobe Shack era, 29 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: which then became the Kobe Era, and then finally the 30 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: Lebron James which I will only call the soap opera 31 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: era because that's exactly what it is. What a maddening franchise, 32 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: all because of this megala moniacal, incredibly insecured knucklehead whose 33 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: act is incredibly tired. However, Saturday night, the Lakers showed 34 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: what they could be on occasion. They snapped the New 35 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: York Mix nine game winning streak, a tremendous lockdown defensive 36 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: performance in the fourth quarter. It was a crazy crowd 37 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden. If you've never been to a 38 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: game there, you better put it on your bucket list soon. 39 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: But the Lakers have been one of the most inconsistent 40 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: teams in the NBA this season, but still Saturday night, 41 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 2: they had enough of the tank to shut down the 42 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: hottest team in the league. Knicks led eighty six to eighty, 43 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: but then went cold. The team went scoreless for more 44 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: than seven minutes, missed eleventh straight shots, and all of 45 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: a sudden, the Lakers get out of their one to 46 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: thirteen win. Oh five. The biggest difference maker Saturday night 47 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: was Anthony Davis. Even if you only had twelve points 48 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: his rebounding, he had eighteen boards. In his defense, he 49 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: had five blocks that gave the Knicks fits, forcing them 50 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: to choose between staying at the perimeter or go for 51 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: an awkward drive in the paint. So for one night, 52 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: the Lakers really looked the part, especially when you consider 53 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: they got some bad news the recent loss of Jared Vanderbilt, 54 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: who's been a defensive standout. Looks like he's probably gonna 55 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: be out for the season. Let's not dance around the 56 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: issue anymore. I'm sick and tired to Lebron. I always 57 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: have been. I've never been a fan. I'll respect his 58 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: body of work, and I respect the level of excellence, 59 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: but I will never characterize this great and it's anywhere 60 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: with Jordan Magic and along the line. Let's just not 61 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: have the argument. Okay, let's just not do it. We're 62 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: never going to convince each other. All I know is 63 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: once again he tweets the hour glass emoji. After the 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: blowout losses last week. Last year, after the playoffs, they 65 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: asked him if you might retire. Yeah, come on, Lebron, 66 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: every time you talk to you got about as much 67 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: credibility as a dermatologist with ACTE. Lebron has a fifty 68 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: one million dollars player option in this Lakers contract next year. 69 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: And by the way, when he was asked if you 70 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: wanted to clarify the tweet the other day, he just said, no, 71 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: this is a tired act. This is a lamb act. 72 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 2: We're sick of it. For all of Lebron's accomplishments, he's 73 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: a passive, aggressive knucklehead and he's one of these guys 74 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: that he's holding me. He is holding the franchise hostage. 75 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: In all my life, twenty nine years of being a 76 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: credential member of the media almost thirty now, and being 77 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: a sports fan, a genuine sports fan since I was 78 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: ten eleven years old. I have never never seen an 79 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: individual hold a franchise hostage the way that Lebron does. 80 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: If you think Darvin Ham runs this team, no, Lebron 81 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: runs a team. By the way. Eric Spolster is around 82 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: two decades later, after Lebron wanted him fire fired. What's 83 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: ironic is I do not think the Lakers have any 84 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: chance of winning the NBA Championship this year. No, they could. 85 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 2: They They'll prove they can be a tough out. Maybe. 86 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: I don't even think they're getting too the conference finals 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: like they did last year. I can't see what Rob 88 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: Polink is gonna do with the trade deadline. He pulled 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: magic last year. Not magic. Johnson pulled magic out of 90 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: the hat and it was incredible to watch. But that 91 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: was lightning in a bottle. They don't have the assets 92 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: this year to trade. I don't think they can win 93 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 2: the title this season. So the irony is their most 94 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: valuable asset that has some return is Lebron. But you 95 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: can't trade them. You can't trade them. And I'm not 96 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 2: saying he's asking to be traded. I don't know what 97 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: he's asking for. I don't really care anymore, but I'm 98 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 2: very secure in the knowledge that they'll never win a 99 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: championship anymore as long as Lebron is there. Period. You 100 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: want to bet on the Lakers to win a championship, 101 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: knock yourself out. Might as well light the money on fire. 102 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: At least we'll keep you warm. You want to put 103 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: from the rough, that is your business. It's ironic because 104 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: if the Lakers were able to trade Lebrons, there could 105 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: be some knucklehead team out there to take them. They 106 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: would get some draft capital. If you wait for Lebron 107 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: to walk, perhaps after the end of the season, which 108 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: is possible, or maybe he makes it two more seasons 109 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 2: and his contract expires, you move him for nothing. And 110 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: look how many people gave the Angels a hard time 111 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: for betting on your shoheo tani. Okay, the Lakers are 112 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: a lot more relevant in Southern California certainly than the 113 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: Angels are, so Lebron isn't getting traded. But it raises 114 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: the question you have to start to ask yourself what 115 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 2: is the end game for Lebron and Los Angeles. He's 116 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: never been traded, but the other day he was subject 117 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: to a lot of loud rumors. But for the time 118 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: being I don't think there's any reason to believe those 119 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: rumors are going anywhere. And if you look at the 120 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 2: very you know, prominent NBA newsbreakers, they're not the ones 121 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 2: saying he'd be traded. It's the typical fans, social media, 122 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: so on and so forth. And we know that Lebron 123 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: has a player option after the season, but if you 124 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 2: look at again how the Lakers are constructed, they're not 125 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: even close to championship contention. So look, you deal with 126 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: the here and now. Lebron is a Laker today. I 127 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percent sure he will be a 128 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: Laker after the trade deadline. Now may actually make that 129 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. But Lebron is not averse to jumping 130 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: off a sinking ship. He left Cleveland, then he left Miami, 131 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: went back to Cleveland, and then left Cleveland again. And 132 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: it seems like, you know, at thirty nine years old, 133 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: his days have to be numbered somewhat for being a Laker, 134 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: simply because he's not going to be in the NBA 135 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: that much longer. So just put the two and two together. 136 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: Once he got a couple more years, maybe I don't know, 137 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: maybe maybe longer. So could you theoretically have the two 138 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: sides come together to find an acceptable trade. Potentially, but 139 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: there's not exactly an obvious fit out there. There's no 140 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: way the Lakers sent them to the Clippers. Even if 141 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: they had anything to trade. I don't think they'd return 142 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: them to Cleveland. That doesn't make much sense. You know, 143 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: who are you gonna get back. They're not gonna trade 144 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell. They're not gonna trade Evan Mobile or Darius Carland. 145 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: You get my point, Golden State. They've actually got the 146 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: contracts to match money, but that's a difficult deal. If 147 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: you got to reverse engineer that, You're not gonna get 148 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: Draymond Green or Klay Thompson back with the Lakers. Take 149 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: Andrew Wiggins. I don't know. The point of the matter 150 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: is is that you've got a situation where Lebron has 151 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: it like I'm a Lebron James. He's gonna invoke the 152 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: I'm a Lebron James clause. Just you know, I'm the 153 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: greatest that's ever played, Just ask me. So, Lebron has 154 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: become what I consider to be a well He's always 155 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: been a passive, aggressive diva, but now I think, to 156 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: the detriment of the team, so at some point the 157 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: Lakers had better start to think about life after Lebron James, 158 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: and you better figure out what your succession plan is. 159 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 2: Rob Polenka and Kurt Ram was prepared to bet their 160 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: jobs on a quick turnaround this year. The truth of 161 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: the matter is, you know the Lakers spent with doctor 162 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: Buss passed. I want to think it was twenty thirteen. 163 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: The Lakers wandered around in the wilderness and they just 164 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: that adn't saved Mitch Kuppdack's job and Jim bust and 165 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: you remember that last iteration of front offs people. Lebron 166 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: James doesn't have the answers. The Lakers don't have the answers, 167 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: and that's one of the many reasons why they'll continue 168 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: going on. It's the old joke about two people that 169 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: don't get along anymore. He says, there's nothing I wouldn't 170 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: do for him, and there's nothing he wouldn't do for me, 171 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: and we're gonna go right on doing nothing for each other. 172 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: At the end of the day, that feels like what 173 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 2: is happening with Lebron. He's not gonna leave, but if 174 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: he stays the longer the season goes without a surprise turnaround. Well, 175 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: the sooner it's gonna rise in front of Living Color. 176 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: The Lakers and Lebron are gonna have to figure this out, 177 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: simple as that.

But share it with the folks 258 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: some of the amazing statistics. I understand the get in 259 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: price for a game day and Allegiance Stadium is now 260 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: top ten thousand dollars.

But fascinating. Bernie's like 269 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 7: you said, two things. Number One, the Super Bowl has 270 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 7: evolved really into America's midwinter break, and it's really a 271 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 7: series of corporate parties, social gatherings, and from a business standpoint, 272 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 7: you if you want to do business, you do it 273 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 7: during Super Bowl Week. And like you said, the game 274 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 7: itself is the culmination of basically this country taking a 275 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 7: break in the middle of the winter. They've had enough 276 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 7: of it. And you know, Las Vegas will definitely be 277 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 7: in the rotation for sure. A really interesting number I 278 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,239 Speaker 7: found fascinating was that putting on the Super Bowl, regardless 279 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 7: of the city, is basically a cottage industry by itself 280 00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 7: of one hundred and fifty thousand contractors and VENDORSFL staffers 281 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 7: and the fans who come in. So that in itself 282 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 7: is one hundred and fifty thousand people, you know, which 283 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 7: I thought was extraordinary. And you know, the one interesting 284 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 7: thing about Las Vegas, as you know, even without a 285 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 7: Super Bowl, this town does really well on Super Bowl weekends, 286 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 7: even without the game being hosted, the numbers pushed three 287 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 7: hundred thousand visitors always, yes, really impressive, much like March. 288 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 2: Madness, which is also huge for Las Vegas, particularly that 289 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 2: first forty a weekend. People converge on Las Vegas during 290 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl anyway for the parties, So now they'll 291 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: do the same. And you've got the game here, which 292 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: should lead to a record sending handle betting at the sportsbooks. 293 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 8: You would you. 294 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 7: Would definitely think, so, you know, obviously betting was the 295 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 7: reason the NFL stayed away, and now it's the reason, 296 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 7: you know, one of the reasons they're here. I mean, 297 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 7: it's the betting part of NFL games is part of 298 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 7: the entertainment experience for sure, and you're going to see 299 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 7: that up and down the strip, are you there, Allen?

All right, now 340 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 2: let's switch gears. Big announcement this past week. The line 341 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: in the guy my father Moule Green is out off 342 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: the Tropicana will now have to be changed to the 343 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 2: Tropicana is out. I understand April second is the day 344 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: that they shut down, which you'll pave the way for 345 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 2: the Oaklan A's eventually coming to Vegas. Give the folks 346 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 2: the latest on that whole ordeal with respect to the 347 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 2: timeline on the oaklan As now. 348 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 7: Right, So, there was, like you mentioned, a big announcement 349 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 7: by Balley's. Balley's owns Tropicana, and they informed its staff 350 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 7: several days ago that they will be closing April second, 351 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 7: like you mentioned. And it's been kind of a very 352 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 7: hazy process, to tell you the truth, because the people 353 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 7: of Las Vegas have not been told really much about 354 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 7: the stadium itself. We know it's supposed to be built 355 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 7: on these nine acres of a thirty five acre site 356 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 7: at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, 357 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 7: site of the Tropicana Hotel that will be demolished later 358 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 7: this year. So that's your first milestone would be later 359 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 7: this year. The complete thirty five acres will have to 360 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 7: be cleared. The Tropicana, very historic but kind of a 361 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 7: hotel that's been kind of having kind of behind the times, 362 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 7: really will be demolished and construction is supposed to begin 363 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 7: in twenty twenty five. Keep in mind, Bernie, that the 364 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 7: Oakland Athletics and in their ownership group, they've not shared 365 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 7: any drawings with the public. Keep in mind that, you know, 366 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 7: this is a sports organization that is receiving three hundred 367 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 7: and eighty million dollars in public assistance toward the construction 368 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 7: of this one point five billion dollar stadium. The public 369 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 7: has not been told what kind of ruff will there 370 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 7: we you know, the public Las Vegas has still not 371 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 7: been informed about whether this will be a retractable roof, 372 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 7: which obviously is much more expensive than a fixed roof. 373 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 7: You definitely need a climate controlled venue because of the 374 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 7: Las Vegas summers. And you know, you'd think that the 375 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 7: state of Nevada, Clark County providing three hundred and eighty 376 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 7: million dollars in public dollars toward the construction of this 377 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 7: you know, you'd think the organization would be a little 378 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 7: more forthcoming with providing information. As you know, they also 379 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 7: will be playing their final year at the Coliseum in 380 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 7: Oakland and twenty twenty four, and they have they made 381 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 7: kind of a little field trip to tripa A stadiums 382 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 7: in Sacramento and Salt Lake City to check out those 383 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 7: venues as a potential temporary home from twenty twenty five, 384 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 7: twenty six, and twenty seven. And the ultimate timeline, Bernie 385 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 7: is you know they're looking to open a thirty three seat, 386 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 7: thirty three thousand seat stadium in twenty twenty eight, and 387 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 7: like I said, people are very curious about what the 388 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 7: place even looks like. Keep in mind, the Athletics are 389 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 7: coming to Las Vegas to play spring training games in 390 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 7: early March at their Triple A Baseball Party. 391 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 2: That's a big League weekend, right yeah, right. 392 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 7: In Summerland, so for big League weekend. So there has 393 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 7: been some talk about perhaps the Athletics would use that 394 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 7: platform to share the drawings of their stadium on the strip. 395 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: Alan, good stuff. As always, I want to get you 396 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: back in April when the trop shuts down.

There's still so many people 611 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 2: that hate this Taylor Swift Travis Kelcey phenomenon. Why we 612 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 2: really check yourself before you wreck yourself? Man? If that really, 613 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 2: if that triggers you, you need to lay down with 614 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: a cold compresce, get yourself some warm milk and soft music, 615 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 2: and hopefully it goes away. You know, maybe just shake 616 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 2: it off, shake it off, you know, if you've got 617 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 2: bad blood. So see what I did there. I'm not 618 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 2: a swiftie, but you know I've been around the block 619 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 2: once or twice. Did you know that when Taylor Swift 620 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,879 Speaker 2: the tends Chiefs games this year, they're nine to three 621 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 2: and Travis Kelcey is catching, He's averaging about eighty yards 622 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 2: a game receiving, and that's pretty good for a tight end. 623 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 2: By the way. In the in the three playoff reason 624 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 2: which Taylor Swift's Taylor Swift's been for all of them, 625 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 2: he had twenty three receptions average of eighty eight yards 626 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 2: per game. Those were phenomenal numbers for a tight end. 627 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 2: So I really believe it. Behoo's the Chiefs and Travis 628 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 2: kelce for Taylor Swift to be in attendance at the 629 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 2: super Bowl. But she's busy. You may have heard she's 630 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 2: got a job. And even though she's become a staple 631 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 2: of Chiefs games this season, supporting her boo Travis Kelcey, 632 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 2: as they head toward the biggest game, it looked like 633 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 2: it was recently might be unclear that that Taylor Swift 634 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 2: would make it because she plays a concert the night before. 635 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: Halfway across the world, you see, Taylor Swift resumed her 636 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 2: Heiress tour on Wednesday at the Tokyo Domes. She's playing 637 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 2: a four night stint in Japan, and just as she 638 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 2: scheduled chowse on the US leg of the tour, while 639 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 2: she's got several days at downtime before her next set 640 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: in Melbourne. But here's the kicker. Taylor Swift may have 641 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 2: a concert on Saturday night, but it's really Friday night 642 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 2: in Tokyo. So here's the delio. If Taylor Swift hops 643 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 2: on a plane immediately after her final show in Japan. Well, 644 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 2: remember do the math. Vegas is seventeen hours behind Tokyo 645 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 2: and the flight takes about twelve hours. That would lander 646 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Good news Saturday night about five 647 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 2: pm Pacific time. That leaves plenty of time for Taylor 648 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 2: Swift to you know, do what she does and be 649 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 2: ready for the three point thirty kickoff Sunday in Las Vegas. 650 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 2: And then she's got to get back on a plane. 651 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 2: She's got to show in Australia Friday. Other than that, 652 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: not much happening. By the way. You know, you need 653 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 2: to kind of be in shape to do this. You 654 00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 2: gotta really be fit. And uh, from what I understand, 655 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 2: Taylor Swift's workouts are legendary. I got you. I've not 656 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 2: been to a Swifty concert, don't plan on going to any, 657 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 2: but I understand her three hours. She doesn't have any 658 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 2: significant breaks or intermissions. She does a lot of moving. 659 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 2: She sings the entire set, but I guess to train 660 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 2: for that.

Mark hore you buddy, I'm doing well. 687 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 8: I got a good lap out of your line fan 688 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 8: for Lebron passive aggressive time. It's also did emoji time 689 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 8: on Twitter. 690 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 2: Let's start there. How does this start to where you 691 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 2: have to have Rich Paul reaching on saying we're not 692 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 2: asking to be traded and he's not going to be traded, 693 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 2: but we all know anything's possible with Lebron, even though 694 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be traded. But you know, 695 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 2: come on, your thoughts on that whole thing will get 696 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 2: off it. 697 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just so middle schoolish. I mean, he was 698 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 8: even asked to clarify what he meant by the tweet 699 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 8: and he declined to say anything. So it's just ridiculous. 700 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 8: So respect Lebron as a player, respect him as a leader. 701 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 8: But you know, one of the weaknesses is, you know, 702 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 8: doing these things behind the scenes or you know, posting 703 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 8: passive aggressive messages on social media, and you know, when 704 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 8: you talk to people around the league, they have the 705 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 8: same interpretations we do. Some think it is, you know, 706 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 8: him saying, Hey, time's running out for us to turn 707 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 8: things around. You know, I have an expiration data as 708 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 8: far as my career goes. Message to the front office 709 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 8: do something before the trade deadline. But the reality is, 710 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,240 Speaker 8: I do give Lebron credit for how well he's played 711 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 8: on the court this season, but you know, if he 712 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,720 Speaker 8: wants to shake some trees, you know, do those things 713 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 8: behind closed doors with your actual team and not on 714 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 8: social media. 715 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 2: Not that we have to unpack it tonight, Mark, but 716 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 2: at some point we should have the conversation. What is 717 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 2: the Lakers succession plan? Lebron can be a free agent 718 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,240 Speaker 2: this summer, but I think the odds of him leaving 719 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 2: LA at this point are slim. But he's only got 720 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 2: two years left on his contract. So if the Lakers 721 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 2: don't want to end up in a show here Tani 722 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 2: like situation, they might have to do something. And I'm 723 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 2: securing the knowledge they're not going to win a championship 724 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 2: this year or next year. What does the end game 725 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 2: look like with Lebron? 726 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 8: Well, I think their end game is that as long 727 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 8: as he's playing at this level, they still have a 728 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 8: chance to win a championship. Now, I remember talking to 729 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 8: gen Bus last summer about the idea of what would 730 00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 8: it mean for her if Lebron James retired Laker, and 731 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 8: she obviously said it would mean a lot, but she 732 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 8: also you know, conceded the possibility that might not happen, 733 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 8: but that if he does leave, they would still view 734 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 8: him in high regards. She said that Lebron James's jersey's 735 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 8: going to get retired regardless as far as like a 736 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 8: succession plan goes. The hope is that he plays out 737 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 8: the remainder of his contract. But they're trying to have 738 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,359 Speaker 8: Anthony Davis become the face of the franchise. I mean, 739 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 8: ever since he signed on board with them in twenty nineteen. 740 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 8: The idea was that Lebron will be the guy now. 741 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,479 Speaker 8: But it's about grooming ad for the post Lebron era, 742 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 8: and there's been you know, mixed progress with that. But 743 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 8: I think in fairness ade this season he's been mostly 744 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 8: healthy and mostly dominant. But you know, I think what 745 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 8: Lebron does and he said, you know, earlier today the 746 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 8: reporters that he doesn't know what he'll do with his 747 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 8: player option as much as it is about what to 748 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 8: the Lakers do as far as their championship window, and 749 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 8: you know how they improve the roster. I also think 750 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 8: it's about how Lebron feels about himself. If he's playing 751 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 8: at a high level, I can see himself thinking, you 752 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 8: know what, I'm going to prioritize, still trying to win 753 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 8: a championship. But if at some point Father Time gives 754 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 8: them some doses of reality this season, that's tough cough medicine. 755 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 8: Maybe he just thinks, you know what, the time's up. 756 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,400 Speaker 8: It's not about chasing rings and going to the best 757 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 8: team that will give me the best out of doing that. 758 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,399 Speaker 8: Let's just ride this out and enjoy the farewell tour. So, yeah, 759 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 8: lots can happen between now and then, and it should 760 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 8: be interesting, say the least. 761 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on, because we're four days from 762 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,320 Speaker 2: the trade deadline and I've tried to do my homework. 763 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,760 Speaker 2: It's my understanding the Lakers are still talking to Atlanta 764 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 2: about a Dejontey Murray trade. But what Kai Bosch is 765 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 2: that I'm pretty sure the Hawks aren't interested in D'Angelo Russell. 766 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the fans he's tided like 767 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 2: to King family that today we don't want you to 768 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 2: hear that. Yeah, that's got to be a little rough 769 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 2: on the ego. So the bottom line is, this is 770 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 2: what I'm hearing. The Lakers have some level of interest 771 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 2: in players like Spencer Dinwiddie, Royce, O'Neil, Dorian Finney, Smith, 772 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 2: is yontey Mury. What do you expect to happen between 773 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,800 Speaker 2: now and Thursday with respect to the Lakers? 774 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 8: It could go one or two ways that they stay 775 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 8: pat or they make, you know, a marginal move. As 776 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 8: far as gaining a rotation player, you mentioned some possibilities. 777 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 8: I'm wondering if data side, you know what, let's try 778 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 8: to bolster our front court, especially because Jared Vanderbilts, you know, 779 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 8: out with a significant injury. Can they get someone like 780 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 8: Jeremy Grant from Portland? So I think the problem is 781 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,720 Speaker 8: the Lakers know that they have a lot of needs 782 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 8: when it comes to the three point shooting, perimeter shooting, 783 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 8: some front court depth, but they don't have a lot 784 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 8: of assets to offer. And I think inevitably D'Angel Russell 785 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 8: is going to be part of that as well as 786 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 8: their first round pick. But to what you were saying, 787 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 8: they don't know what kind of Interstangelo will have and 788 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 8: the first round pick, I think that they're willing to 789 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,960 Speaker 8: give give it so long as it's a move that 790 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 8: will seriously give them a better shot to win a championship. 791 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 8: But it was just a lateral move. I think the 792 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 8: Lakers are going to wonder what's the point, What's try 793 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 8: to rebuild or not rebuild, but get better pieces this 794 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 8: off season when they'll have more tools in their toolbox 795 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 8: as far as assets go. So yeah, and I would 796 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 8: also say with the Lakers where they're are at, it 797 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 8: are very much in line with what this whole landscape 798 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 8: looks like. You know, talking to people this week, it 799 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 8: very much feels like there's not going to be a 800 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 8: lot of huge moves and it might just be status quo. 801 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 8: Part of it's because of what I mentioned about the 802 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,400 Speaker 8: Lakers and some other teams not really having a lot 803 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 8: of assets. But the other thing is, you know, there 804 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 8: a lot of the trades have already been made. You know, 805 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 8: keep in mind, Damian Lillard was trade before the season started, 806 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 8: then James Harden, you know, Ogi Atabi and Pascal Siakam. 807 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,919 Speaker 8: The Raptors traded them a few weeks ago, so there's 808 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 8: not major dominoes here. And then I think the other 809 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 8: thing is, you know some other teams with Stam Patt. 810 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 8: You know, I was hearing that the Washington Wizards, for example, 811 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 8: like they're more likely to want to keep Kyle Kuzma, 812 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 8: Jordan Poole, and Hyas Jones and just collect assets around 813 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 8: them as opposed to trading any of those pieces. I 814 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 8: won't be surprised if other teams feel the same way. 815 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 2: Talk with Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday midnight and 816 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 2: the Bernie Faddle Show, our Fox Sports radio guru. So 817 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 2: you read my mind. You know, it wasn't that awfully 818 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,240 Speaker 2: long ago that I stood courtside and watch Kyle Kuzma 819 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 2: here in the Summer League in Vegas, trying to make 820 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 2: a squad. Now he might be the best player left 821 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 2: at the trade deadline. I've heard the Wizards will trade him, 822 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,800 Speaker 2: but they're asking for two first round picks. Now. I 823 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 2: don't think Sacramento is gonna give that up. I think 824 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 2: they like Kuzma. I don't think Dallas Mavericks are going 825 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 2: to give him up. They desperately need more help on 826 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 2: the wing. But I got a funny feeling there's a 827 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 2: deal to be made there. Your thoughts on Kyle Kuzma 828 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 2: where he could end up, Yeah, I mean. 829 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 8: My senses, they'll certainly listen, but my sense is that 830 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 8: they'll also say no things. As much as okay, as 831 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 8: much as the Wizards are you know, not good right now, 832 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 8: they're at the top the bottom of the standings, I 833 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,839 Speaker 8: think that they're convinced, at least in the short term, 834 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 8: that their better play is build around those three players, 835 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 8: you know, continue to see their improvement. They're still young, 836 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,879 Speaker 8: see where they can collect assets with other guys and 837 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 8: you know, maybe be a mechanism for absorbing salary and 838 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,359 Speaker 8: all that. But I would be surprised if they deal 839 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,879 Speaker 8: Kyle Kuzma because I think that they they don't see 840 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 8: him as like, you know, this generational talent, like let's 841 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 8: not get that twisted. But I think that he he's 842 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 8: a good, winning player, and at this point they want 843 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 8: to just build around those young players and then go 844 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 8: from there. 845 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 2: All right, let's let's go around the league a little 846 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 2: bit more. This is what I'm hearing in terms of 847 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,319 Speaker 2: the players that are drawing interest. I hear the Nets 848 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,880 Speaker 2: are getting lots of calls about Michel Bridges. Your thoughts. 849 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they're gaining a lot of calls, But 850 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 8: I also think they're saying no thanks. I actually mentioned 851 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,359 Speaker 8: this to Michel Bridges a few weeks ago, and that's 852 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 8: where in LA and he said, well, I guess we'll 853 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 8: have to wait and see. You know, I think that 854 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,839 Speaker 8: he's very well aware that he didn't think he would 855 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 8: get traded when he was at the Phoenix Suns, but 856 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 8: when you know they had an opportunity to get Kevin Durant, 857 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 8: he totally understood that. You know, he was a casualty 858 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,839 Speaker 8: for that. But I don't think the Nets would trade him, 859 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 8: even though it's a much different dynamic that he's inheriting 860 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 8: where he's like the number one guy on the team 861 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,959 Speaker 8: because Ben Simmons has been mostly heard and the rest 862 00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 8: of the team it's just a bunch of either good 863 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 8: rotation players, young players. They do like how he plays 864 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,839 Speaker 8: on both ends of the flour. They like his leadership, 865 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,479 Speaker 8: and so I think that they would like to keep 866 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,439 Speaker 8: him because he can be part of a winning team 867 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 8: in the future. 868 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 2: All Right, Moving along, I understand Marcus Smart is getting 869 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 2: a lot of attention, but the Grizzlies aren't interested. I 870 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 2: understand the books really tried. The Lakers would be smart 871 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 2: to see if they could get a market. Well, he'll 872 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 2: see what I did there. I didn't mean to do that. 873 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 8: If you're server, well here. 874 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 2: To show Saturday, don't forget to try this semi bone 875 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 2: with spaghetti. All right? Could the Lakers get Marcus Smart? 876 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 2: What are the chances of that? 877 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 8: I doubt it. I think that even though the Grizzlies 878 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 8: they made a trade with Steven Adams, I think that 879 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 8: they should keep Marcus Smart. The reality is they're not 880 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:48,959 Speaker 8: going to be good the rest of the season because 881 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 8: Sean Moran's out, But all they have to do is 882 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 8: play the winning game and he'll be back next season. 883 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 8: And you want to have someone like Marcus Smart on 884 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 8: that team because he's a really good veteran. He can 885 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,719 Speaker 8: hold guy's accountable, and he's also he also e pitomizes 886 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 8: what the Grizzlies culture has all been about about, you know, 887 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 8: being good to being good on defense, being a grinder. 888 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,359 Speaker 8: And yeah, I mean it wouldn't make sense for them 889 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 8: to trade them, but I guess it doesn't hurt if 890 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 8: teams want to try and give their sales pitch. 891 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 2: Now, I've been extremely impressed with what the Minnesota Timberwolves 892 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 2: have done this season. I'm guessing you would agree with 893 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:25,839 Speaker 2: that fair. 894 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 8: Yeah. 895 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 2: So here's why I bring that up, because it's my 896 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 2: understanding if they can get some point guard depth behind 897 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 2: Mike Conley. I don't think they can get Tias Jones, 898 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 2: but what about maybe a Monte Morris from Detroita or 899 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 2: Bones Highland from the Clippers. Do you have a chance 900 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,360 Speaker 2: to see a potential deal there. 901 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 8: Well, here's where I'm skeptical about Minnesota, not just because 902 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,280 Speaker 8: you know, why break something that's you know, isn't broken 903 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 8: right or whatever that old adage is, don't fix. 904 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 2: It, then fix it? Yeah, exactly. 905 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 8: They don't have a lot of draft capital work with, 906 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 8: so I would be surprised that they make moves. Same 907 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 8: with the Clippers, the Cleveland Cavaliers. I think what's fascinating 908 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,800 Speaker 8: is technically the Celtics and the Thunder, they are probably 909 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 8: the teams that are most equipped to make moves. You know, 910 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 8: Boston has first round picks for the twenty twenty seven 911 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 8: NBA draft. The Thunder they have fourteen first round picks 912 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 8: and twenty two second round picks through twenty thirty. But 913 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 8: they're at the top of the standing same old idea. 914 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 8: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But they technically 915 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 8: are in the driver's seat as teams that can make 916 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 8: the most moves because they have the most draft picks 917 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 8: to work with. But you know, usually the teams that 918 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,720 Speaker 8: are most active in the trade deadline are those teams 919 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 8: that you know, are that are buyers that feel like, hey, 920 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,839 Speaker 8: we're just one or two pieces away to be in 921 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 8: serious contention. And then the sellers that are you know, 922 00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 8: clearly in rebuild mode and they're just trying to get 923 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 8: rid of every thing to stock their chest here. So 924 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,319 Speaker 8: I think outside of all that, I think when you 925 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 8: connect all these dots here, I think it could be 926 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 8: just a lot of staggering activity and a lot of 927 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 8: phone calls that just don't lead to anymore. 928 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,320 Speaker 2: Sure, it happens like that some years. Finally, quick question 929 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 2: my understanding that the Warriors offered Klay Thompson a two 930 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 2: year extension at forty eight million before the year and 931 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 2: he turned it down. Do you think he regrets that. 932 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,879 Speaker 8: I didn't hear that. I mean that's not to say 933 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,280 Speaker 8: that isn't true, but I think that, you know, Clay, 934 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 8: he has wanted to see how his season would play 935 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 8: out because of his belief in himself. I think the 936 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 8: Warriors have also wanted to do the same thing, more 937 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,400 Speaker 8: to just be very mindful that they're dealing with a 938 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:56,879 Speaker 8: very significant payroll. So yeah, I mean, I haven't heard 939 00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 8: that they offered extensions. I know, talking to Clay before 940 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 8: the beginning of last season, he said it was his 941 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,120 Speaker 8: hope that he, you know, his representatives in the front 942 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 8: office would start talking, but they haven't, so he was 943 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 8: just resigned to the fact that he would just wait 944 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 8: until he's a free agent. So that's not to say 945 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 8: it hasn't happened, but I would also be surprised if 946 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 8: that was a kid. 947 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 2: I'll make one prediction, and you know, I'm just throwing 948 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 2: stuff against the wall. I got a funny feeling the 949 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 2: Warriors will do a deal with the Mavericks and they'll 950 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 2: move Andrew Wiggins, who I think they want to move. 951 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 2: Who are they get in return if that deal were 952 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:34,720 Speaker 2: to happen. 953 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 8: I don't know why the Mavericks would get him or 954 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 8: would want him. You know, they would have to give 955 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 8: up a lot of depth and well, well. 956 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 2: I think he's a small forward that can provide him 957 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 2: some stability. He can also play power forward. Well, I mean, 958 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 2: he's not a star anymore. 959 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 8: But that's fair. And he can be a good defender. 960 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 8: But I think that, you know, one of the lessons 961 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,720 Speaker 8: that Dallas encountered last season when they got Kyrie Irving 962 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,799 Speaker 8: is that Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic can be a 963 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 8: really good duo together, but they need to have defensive reinforcements. 964 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,320 Speaker 8: And again, like Andrew Wiggins is a good wing defender, 965 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,279 Speaker 8: but they also want to have good front court defenders. 966 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,319 Speaker 8: So I don't think Mitt Dallas would go for that. 967 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 8: And I think for the Warriors, technically everyone except for 968 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,399 Speaker 8: Steph Curry's on the table. I think when you get 969 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 8: down to the nitty gritty, they've resigned themselves that they're 970 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 8: better off staying put than making changes because whatever changes 971 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,279 Speaker 8: they do make, they feel it's just going to create 972 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:42,839 Speaker 8: more problems and solve them. And they also have, you know, 973 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 8: some relative optimism that with Chris Paul coming back at 974 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,799 Speaker 8: some point and Gary Payton the second that they'll much 975 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,800 Speaker 8: be much better than they have been for most of 976 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,480 Speaker 8: the season, and it might be you know, them just 977 00:55:55,560 --> 00:56:00,040 Speaker 8: remembering what they have accomplished. But they also think that 978 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 8: Draymond will be better now that he's back, and in fairness, 979 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 8: he has played well, but as far as his behavior goes, 980 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,759 Speaker 8: and they feel like it's always any given night that 981 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:15,920 Speaker 8: Claire Wiggins or both can play more consistently. So that's 982 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 8: where it's at with him. 983 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 2: Well, Mark great stuff next Saturday, at this time, the 984 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 2: trade deadline will be behind this. Do you have anything 985 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 2: that you expect to happen. It's a little weird this year. 986 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 2: It seems a little light. 987 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean, as they're saying before, I think it's 988 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 8: gonna be a lot of techs and phone calls that 989 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,919 Speaker 8: lead to really nothing. I mean, I think that there's 990 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 8: going to be deals. I mean, it always happens, but 991 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 8: I think the deals there's not gonna be anything that 992 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,920 Speaker 8: changes the landscape. It's not going to evolve any star players, 993 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,080 Speaker 8: you know, especially the fact that Zack Lavine, for example, 994 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 8: the Bulls announced that he's going to have surgery, so 995 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 8: he's out of the mix, and he probably already was 996 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 8: out of the mix. I don't think the Bulls are 997 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 8: going to trade Caruso or de Rosen. Maybe the trade 998 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,719 Speaker 8: to Jante Murray. But I don't think he's going to 999 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 8: the Lakers. Maybe he goes to the Spurs. So I 1000 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 8: think when we're talking about all these things again, the 1001 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 8: viewers should probably connect the dots here of that. It's 1002 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 8: not gonna be a lot of changes, but we'll have 1003 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 8: a lot to unpack next week, and we'll see we're 1004 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 8: both of us for right and we're both of us 1005 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 8: for wrong. 1006 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,440 Speaker 2: It'll be fun, all right, Mark, appreciate you, buddy, Enjoy 1007 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 2: the rest of your weekend, and then we'll look forward 1008 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 2: to getting you back on next Saturday night.

I'll share it with you. 1025 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,040 Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fratterle, coming to your line from the Las 1026 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 2: Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tarrack dot com studios here in 1027 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 2: Las Vegas, homeost Super Bowl fifty eight. Keep it locked. 1028 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. 1029 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,959 Speaker 2: All right, back on the Bernie Fradle Show, Fox Sports Radio, 1030 00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 2: coming you live from the tarat dot com studios here 1031 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. Headline, Bill Belichick is unemployed. Eight coaching hires. 1032 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,040 Speaker 2: If your name is Bill Belichick, step forward. Nope, didn't 1033 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 2: get one. Nobody thought it was gonna be Atlanta. Not 1034 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:05,240 Speaker 2: so much. I said. When the Washington Commanders hired Cowboys 1035 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 2: DC dan Quinn as head coach the other day, well 1036 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 2: that's shut down the NFL coaching carousel for twenty twenty four. 1037 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:17,040 Speaker 2: That meant again, the following headline is true, nobody hired 1038 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,840 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, arguably the best coach in league history. On 1039 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 2: one hand, yeah, I get it, he's seventy two. He's 1040 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 2: only twenty nine to thirty eight in the Tom Brady 1041 00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 2: post Tom Brady era. So why would an NFL franchise 1042 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 2: looking toward the future lean into the past? Why? Weld simple, 1043 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 2: He's still Bill Belichick, fifteen victory shy, the all time 1044 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 2: wins record, Still a defensive He's still a defensive genius, 1045 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,040 Speaker 2: a savant. As you've heard me say before the two 1046 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:50,240 Speaker 2: Super bowls, Bill Parcels won again. Top credit to Barcels. 1047 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick was his defensive coordinator, shut down a potent 1048 00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 2: John Elway team and shut down the K gun offense 1049 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 2: with Jim Kelly in the Buffalo Bills. He's won more 1050 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 2: Super Bowl than any other coach, and he couldn't get 1051 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 2: a job. I think it's a storyline. It's been under reported, 1052 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,800 Speaker 2: but I did a little digging and here's what I heard. 1053 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:16,919 Speaker 2: Not surprisingly or maybe surprisingly, turns out Atlanta was really 1054 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:22,439 Speaker 2: the only organization that showed real legitimate interest in Bill 1055 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 2: Belichick and Arthur Blank, who's eighty two years old and 1056 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,000 Speaker 2: would like to win a Super Bowl and who's gone 1057 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 2: big name hunting before when it comes to coach. He's 1058 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 2: tried to hire Joe Gibbs once he jeled with Bill Belichick. 1059 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 2: But from what we're hearing, Belichick's relationship with other front 1060 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 2: office members in Atlanta was a little chili, which leads 1061 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 2: to a larger issue. Turns out a legibly, Bill Belichick 1062 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 2: very much resisted giving up complete control over football operations. 1063 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,120 Speaker 2: He'd always had that autonomy during his entire twenty four 1064 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:05,120 Speaker 2: year tenure with New England. That scared teams away. And 1065 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 2: I think if you look at some of the weird 1066 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:11,160 Speaker 2: personnel moves over the last few seasons in New England, 1067 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,440 Speaker 2: tough to argue that, right. So there's also sort of 1068 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 2: this perceived stubbornness about Belichick Bill Belichick in around the league, 1069 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,600 Speaker 2: in league circles, as it were. Apparently some teams were 1070 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 2: relieved that Bill Belichick would not be their head coach 1071 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 2: simply because he would have wanted to reshape the front office. 1072 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,080 Speaker 2: A little later in the show, I will share with 1073 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:39,640 Speaker 2: you if Bill Belichick, well, he didn't get a coaching 1074 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,440 Speaker 2: job this year, but I think there could be as 1075 01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 2: many as AID openings next year. See, you can't write 1076 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 2: off Bill Belichick just yet. I really believe that. However, 1077 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,240 Speaker 2: now that the eight coaching vacancies have been filled, what 1078 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 2: are our thoughts, what are our takeaways, what are observations? 1079 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 2: I'll have that coming up, but first let's go back 1080 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 2: to our guy, the chef, Kevin Wired with the latest. 1081 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, Bernie. Lots of players making it rain in the NBA. 1082 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 6: On it Saturday, we saw a sixty point performance from 1083 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,800 Speaker 6: Steph Curry, although the Warriors did lose to the Atlanta Hawks, 1084 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 6: won forty one, one three four in overtime, forty one 1085 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,200 Speaker 6: points from dieron Fox and the King's victorious against the 1086 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 6: Bulls won twenty three to one fifteen.

Giannis attempted to coupo forty 1089 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,480 Speaker 6: eight points as the Bucks rally from a twenty four 1090 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,480 Speaker 6: point deficit to beat the Mavericks one twenty nine one seventeen. 1091 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 6: Donovan Mitchell thirty one points as the Cavaliers making five 1092 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 6: straight wins, and he won seventeen one oh one victory 1093 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,720 Speaker 6: against the San Antonio Spurs the Knicks. They were on 1094 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,880 Speaker 6: a nine game winning streak, but that comes to an 1095 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 6: end at Madison Square Guardian on Saturday, as the Lakers 1096 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,680 Speaker 6: take him down. Won thirteen to one oh five Lebron 1097 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:59,400 Speaker 6: James with twenty four points Anthony Davis with eighteen rebounds. 1098 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 6: In the college ranks, big rivalry gain Number three North Carolina, 1099 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 6: number seven Duke the tar Heels win it ninety three 1100 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 6: to eighty four, Top rank Yukah and over Saint John 1101 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 6: seventy seven to sixty four.

And NFL news as the 1109 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 6: Chiefs gonna designate Jerck McKinnon to return from injury reserve, 1110 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,160 Speaker 6: so we'll see what his availability will be for the 1111 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 6: Super Bowl. He's been dealing with a groin injury. 1112 01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 2: Back to you, Bernie, all right, thanks chef our away 1113 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 2: from another performance. All right, So Thursday brought the news 1114 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 2: at the Washington Commanders agreed to terms to hire dan Quinn. 1115 01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 2: Told you everybody said after that, well, it wasn't exactly 1116 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 2: a great farewell in Dallas with that final defensive performance 1117 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But I try to tell people, Look, 1118 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 2: it doesn't work that way in the NFL. The guys 1119 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 2: had an NFL head coaching job. I mean, what do 1120 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 2: I mean it doesn't work that way that he didn't 1121 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,160 Speaker 2: shoot himself in the foot out of people tweeted on 1122 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 2: me like, well, I wonder how many jobs he screwed 1123 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,280 Speaker 2: himself up. There were four teams still interested one game. 1124 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,920 Speaker 2: One day, there is not a season make and you 1125 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 2: know it's like my joke about George Clooney walking around 1126 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 2: the mall will just fly down that one day. Well, 1127 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,000 Speaker 2: it didn't screw the rest of his career ups one day, 1128 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,480 Speaker 2: dan Quinn got a team to a Super Bowl. He 1129 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,040 Speaker 2: as forty four and forty three. He's very respected around 1130 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 2: the league. So if you thought dan Quinn shot himself 1131 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,160 Speaker 2: on the foot because of a bad defensive performance check yourself, 1132 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,120 Speaker 2: not true, and he got a job in Washington. He 1133 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 2: takes over for Ron Rivera, who was only twenty six 1134 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,640 Speaker 2: and forty with one playoff appearance in four seasons. And 1135 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,920 Speaker 2: look it was time for a change, right. So these 1136 01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 2: are your new coaches. Dan Quinn Washington, Brian Callahan Tennessee. 1137 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 2: Dave Canalis guy got an eye on. I like him 1138 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 2: a lot. He's got a very interesting story. He'll head 1139 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,560 Speaker 2: to Carolina and work with Bryce Young, Jim Harbaugh of course, 1140 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Chargers. Mike McDonald not to be confused 1141 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 2: with Michael McDonald a Doobie Brothers. He'll had to Seattle. 1142 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,200 Speaker 2: He's a defensive whiz. Washington, Baltimore for nine years, with 1143 01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,280 Speaker 2: a one year stop in Michigan. So worked for both 1144 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 2: Harbaugh brothers. Drod Mayer will take over for Bill Belichick 1145 01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,240 Speaker 2: in New England were he Morriston Atlanta excellent higher I 1146 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:43,400 Speaker 2: think and Antonio Pearits Los Vegas Raiders another excellent higher. 1147 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:49,280 Speaker 2: So again, both Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel were well 1148 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,360 Speaker 2: ostensibly shut out of the process. They were the two 1149 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,880 Speaker 2: highest profile coaches on the market. You've got Bill Belichick 1150 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,000 Speaker 2: a living legends, six Super Bowl rings, three hundred and 1151 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 2: thirty three career victories. Filkins had them before an in 1152 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 2: person interview. They were the only team to show interest. Meanwhile, 1153 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,160 Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel fifty four and forty five or three playoff 1154 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:10,480 Speaker 2: appearances in six years. He interviewed with the Falcons, Panthers, 1155 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 2: and Chargers. But I think they both might have had 1156 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,560 Speaker 2: the same malady. As it were, they wanted to have 1157 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 2: heavy input on, if not the final say on roster personnel, 1158 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 2: and that I think may have cost both of them. 1159 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,640 Speaker 2: Do I think they'll both be back coaching in twenty 1160 01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,320 Speaker 2: twenty five? I do. There seems to be this group 1161 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 2: think echo chamber narrative. Will Bill Belichick can't possibly take 1162 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,959 Speaker 2: a year off and come back, will be a year older? Yeah, yeah, 1163 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,120 Speaker 2: he will be a year older. Sure he hasn't forgotten 1164 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,200 Speaker 2: how to coach. A little later in the show, I'm 1165 01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,800 Speaker 2: going to talk about where those possibilities might be. But 1166 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,800 Speaker 2: let's take a look across the board. Three of the 1167 01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 2: eight year slow down, three of this year's openings, three 1168 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,400 Speaker 2: of the eight openings, well, they all went to guys 1169 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 2: with prior NFL head coaching experience. Remember me, Raheem Morris 1170 01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 2: was Tampa Bays head coach from twenty oh nine to 1171 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 2: twenty eleven, who was also the interim coach at the 1172 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,040 Speaker 2: Falcons in twenty twenty did a good job. Arthur Blank 1173 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,920 Speaker 2: remembered that brought him back. So he takes over for 1174 01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 2: Dan Quinn, who was fired amid his sixth season with Atlanta. Meanwhile, 1175 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 2: Jim Harball, remember he coached the forty nine ers for 1176 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:21,000 Speaker 2: four seasons, left in twenty fourteen, left to coach at Michigan. 1177 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,800 Speaker 2: Now the charger of you, Harbaugh A is a perfect 1178 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 2: fit for this roster that's got plenty of talent, but 1179 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 2: they've truly underachieved. But when you look at the experienced 1180 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:34,280 Speaker 2: leadership of Dan Quinn Orrahee Morris heading to Washington Atlanta respectively, 1181 01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 2: those teams have young rosters and I think they will 1182 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 2: benefit from their leadership. They were both going to run 1183 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:43,160 Speaker 2: a tight ship more than you think. Now a couple 1184 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:48,840 Speaker 2: of I think hires that fall under the unconventional category 1185 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 2: Antonio Pearce and girod Mail. That doesn't mean they both 1186 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 2: can have success. I told you Antonio Pierce took over 1187 01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 2: is the interim after the Josh McDaniels debac and that 1188 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 2: team played very hard for him. Wasn't just the first 1189 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 2: couple of weeks, it was all nine weeks. It made 1190 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 2: sense to bring him back. And I think, of course, 1191 01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,080 Speaker 2: Mark Davis might still be just a little bit raw 1192 01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:15,440 Speaker 2: after not bringing back Rich Bassacia two years ago and 1193 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 2: bringing in the disaster donas as Josh McDaniels. By the way, 1194 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,719 Speaker 2: Antonio appears, was the Raiders linebacker coach two years ago 1195 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 2: and for eight games this year before being promoted Dinner, 1196 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,160 Speaker 2: I'm head coach. He's the first interim coach since Doug 1197 01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 2: Marone took over for the Jaguars in twenty seventeen. He 1198 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,720 Speaker 2: gets the full time job now. Jared Mayo, he had 1199 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:39,080 Speaker 2: been the Patriots linebackers coach for the last five years. 1200 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 2: He's kind of been the coach in waiting, and you know, 1201 01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 2: since it was inevitable at some point Bill Belichick would leave. 1202 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,320 Speaker 2: So when Belichick and the team parted way his last month, 1203 01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:54,439 Speaker 2: Mail was installed just a few days later. So those 1204 01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:58,160 Speaker 2: hires represent kind of a shift in focus by the owners. 1205 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,759 Speaker 2: It's uncommon for a candidate without coordinator experience to receive 1206 01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,719 Speaker 2: a head coaching consideration, let alone just get the job. 1207 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,719 Speaker 2: But as I said Raiders owner Mark Davis, he clearly 1208 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 2: valued Antonio Pierce's leadership skills, and they were very evident. 1209 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,680 Speaker 2: Pierce won five and four as the interim coach, but 1210 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,760 Speaker 2: he so completely and thoroughlier in the respect of his 1211 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:24,200 Speaker 2: players in the locker room that even Max Crosby basically 1212 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 2: said that he might demand a trade if Pierce didn't 1213 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 2: receive the promotion. It just made too much sense, it 1214 01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 2: really did. Meanwhile, Robert Craft, I think he very in 1215 01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 2: very much the same way valued the leadership traits that 1216 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,639 Speaker 2: Gerald Mayer has shown in his strong character and his history. 1217 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,160 Speaker 2: And of course he was also a Pro Bowl linebacker 1218 01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,040 Speaker 2: for the Patriots in five seasons, and then he was 1219 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:50,599 Speaker 2: a linebacker coach and an assistant coach. So Craft hands 1220 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:55,400 Speaker 2: the keys to Mayo, despite you'd have to admit very 1221 01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:59,720 Speaker 2: limited experience. One of the other interesting things that cropped up. 1222 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,760 Speaker 2: You're constantly hearing Colin Coward saying you've got to higher 1223 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,000 Speaker 2: offensive coaches. Well, I don't know, maybe he's not wrong. 1224 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,560 Speaker 2: I mean, nine of the fourteen coaches or eleven of 1225 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,839 Speaker 2: the fourteen that made the playoffs this year are offensive Mines. 1226 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 2: I think Kyle Shanahan's an offensive mind. Certainly Andy Reid's 1227 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 2: an offensive mind. But having said that, you're a CEO, 1228 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,519 Speaker 2: so I think regardless of what side of the ball 1229 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 2: you come from, it's it's the leadership aspect that's going 1230 01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 2: to define whether or not you can oversee an organization 1231 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 2: from a CEO perspective. See Ever since Sean McVeigh burst 1232 01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 2: into the whole NFL scene with the Rams in twenty 1233 01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,880 Speaker 2: seventeen and basically made them a contender overnight, and after 1234 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,559 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan basically did the same thing with the forty 1235 01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 2: nine Ers the same season, owners have well, it's a 1236 01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:52,040 Speaker 2: copycat league. Owners have really looked to how can we 1237 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,519 Speaker 2: let's not reinvent the wheel, Let's get ourselves another bright 1238 01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 2: offensive mind to fill the whole, you know, head coaching vacancies. 1239 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,960 Speaker 2: In the last what five years, there have been forty 1240 01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,559 Speaker 2: two head coaching openings. Twenty five of them went to 1241 01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 2: offensive coaches. But this year there was a shift. Defensive 1242 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:17,679 Speaker 2: coaching coaches dominated this hiring cycle. Antonio Pearce, Gerrod Mayo, 1243 01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 2: Raheem Morris, Dan quinn and Mike McDonald. They they all 1244 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:29,120 Speaker 2: are defensive guys by trade, and interestingly enough, they're going 1245 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:33,920 Speaker 2: to teams were at least most of these teams need 1246 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,160 Speaker 2: to draft a quarterback. I'm not saying Seattle does, but 1247 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:43,479 Speaker 2: so Dave Kanalis and Bill and not Bill Callahan. Well, 1248 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 2: I'll get back to it. The bottom line is they 1249 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 2: were both offensive coordinators before they got their head coaching. 1250 01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 2: Gibbs and I think you would put very much put 1251 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,000 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh on the offensive side as well as an 1252 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 2: offensive coach. But believe it or not, a lot of 1253 01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 2: the other offensive coaches that people that made the A list, Okay, 1254 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,960 Speaker 2: guys like Kellen Moore and Eric the Enemy and Brian Johnson, 1255 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 2: Thomas Brown, they're all considered future potential head coaches. They 1256 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,800 Speaker 2: might have scared owners off for whatever reason. And if 1257 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:17,200 Speaker 2: you really listen, this makes my case more than anything. 1258 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,640 Speaker 2: Dimiico Orions has been a defensive guy's whole life, a 1259 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,720 Speaker 2: linebacker at Alabama, a phenomenal defensive coordinator in San Francisco, 1260 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,640 Speaker 2: takes over for the Houston Texans. Everybody said that that 1261 01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 2: was a job here remark for failure. I cannot say 1262 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 2: enough things of good things about Demico Ryans. If Demico 1263 01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:36,600 Speaker 2: Ryans for crying out loud does not win Coach of 1264 01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,760 Speaker 2: the Year. Just cancel the damn award. I know Dan 1265 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:41,559 Speaker 2: Campbell had did a hell of a job, but the 1266 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,679 Speaker 2: Lions were projected to win their division and he had 1267 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:48,400 Speaker 2: c J. Stroud. So listen, if you're a mimic o 1268 01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,080 Speaker 2: Rions and Demico Ryans was smart enough to hire Bobby 1269 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,120 Speaker 2: slowotot which is my point. If you're a CEO, part 1270 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,479 Speaker 2: of it is assembling a staff together. I'm convinced that 1271 01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,799 Speaker 2: a lot of CJ. Stroud's success is due to Dimico 1272 01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 2: Ryans as well, in his calm demeanor and his leadership 1273 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 2: and his communic communicative abilities. And then of course Bobby 1274 01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:12,200 Speaker 2: Slowick very much constructed in an offensive system with all 1275 01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,560 Speaker 2: kinds of creativity that allowed a guy with cee J. 1276 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:20,679 Speaker 2: Strown's talents to flourish, so that I think gave owners 1277 01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:23,760 Speaker 2: pause and spell the myth that a young passer and 1278 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,280 Speaker 2: a brand new quarterback and a rookie quarterback can only 1279 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,879 Speaker 2: succeed if there's an offensive minded coach. C J. Stroud, 1280 01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,360 Speaker 2: to me, already achieved greatness his first year in the 1281 01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,880 Speaker 2: National Football League. Coming up, we're gonna continue with my observations. 1282 01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:41,559 Speaker 2: There was a real youth movement and you're seeing former 1283 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,480 Speaker 2: players as coaches, and we'll talk about the diversity improvement 1284 01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,040 Speaker 2: as well as the coaching cycle comes to an end. 1285 01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 2: And yes, Bill Belichick wasn't hired, but I wouldn't write 1286 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:52,560 Speaker 2: him off just yet. We're gonna get to that a 1287 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,240 Speaker 2: little bit later in the show. I'm Bernie Fraddlewick County 1288 01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,360 Speaker 2: Line from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, tirack dot Com studios. 1289 01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 2: Don't go away here listening to the Bernie Fradle Show, 1290 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. All right, back in the Bernie Fradle Show, 1291 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,800 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, come be live from the tirerac dot 1292 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:13,599 Speaker 2: com studios here in Las Vegas. We continue on with 1293 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 2: the observations, the takeaway as the analysis. Now that the 1294 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 2: eight openings in the NFL have been completed. With Dan 1295 01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:25,960 Speaker 2: Quinn the other day, one of the other headlines I 1296 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 2: think is that the youth movement continues. You go back 1297 01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:34,599 Speaker 2: six seven years still teams might be looking for that 1298 01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 2: next quote Sean McVay type, even though they don't admit it. 1299 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 2: But as Claire, younger coaches do appeal to most honors 1300 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:49,400 Speaker 2: and team presidents for a simple reason it's perceived that 1301 01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 2: their ability to relate to players is more sound currently, 1302 01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:59,080 Speaker 2: perhaps fresh ideas culturally, whatever the case may be. Mike McDonald, 1303 01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:03,720 Speaker 2: who he wins his Seattle Seahawks after nine years in 1304 01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,599 Speaker 2: Baltimore with one stop at the University of Michigan work 1305 01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:10,720 Speaker 2: for both Harball brothers. He becomes the youngest active head 1306 01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:14,639 Speaker 2: coach thirty six years old. Gerrod Mayo at New England's 1307 01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 2: only thirty seven, Callahan thirty nine, Canalis forty two. Now 1308 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 2: Raheem Morris is forty seven, but if you hear him 1309 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:27,040 Speaker 2: and watching him, he's still very youthful, very charismatic. Does 1310 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:30,320 Speaker 2: not project age at all. Jim Harbaugh sixty is still 1311 01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 2: plenty of energy. He's now tied with Mike McCarthy and 1312 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 2: Todd Bowles is the third oldest coaches in the league, 1313 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:42,040 Speaker 2: behind Andy Reid sixty five, John Harbaugh sixty one, and oh, 1314 01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,559 Speaker 2: by the way, Dan Quinn at fifty three. He's tied 1315 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 2: with mattob abra Iberflus in Chicago for eighth. One of 1316 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:53,760 Speaker 2: the other things you saw this year former players as 1317 01:15:53,840 --> 01:16:00,200 Speaker 2: coaches becoming getting hired. Antonio Pierce, he played inside linebacker 1318 01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:04,240 Speaker 2: for Washington and the New York Giants. Over over a 1319 01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,000 Speaker 2: period of nine seasons, he made a Pro Bowl. He 1320 01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:09,679 Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl with the Giants. Girod Mayo played 1321 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,040 Speaker 2: inside linebacker for eight seasons in New England. He earned 1322 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:16,439 Speaker 2: first team All Pro honors once. He also was named 1323 01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:18,120 Speaker 2: to a Pro Bowl team a couple of times, won 1324 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,599 Speaker 2: one Super Bowl under Bill Belichick. Jem Harball played quarterback 1325 01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,280 Speaker 2: fourteen years in the National Football League with the Barris 1326 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:28,559 Speaker 2: Coltson Chargers. Got to one Pro Bowl. So that those 1327 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,880 Speaker 2: three hires brings the number of head coaches with NFL 1328 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:37,040 Speaker 2: playing experience to ten. It's about third of the league. Right. 1329 01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 2: He got Demko Ryans who played in the NFL. Sean Playton, Yeah, 1330 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,040 Speaker 2: Sean Payton, Yeah, he played in the NFL. Believe it 1331 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 2: or not. He was defensive back. Dan Campbell. I remember 1332 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:47,400 Speaker 2: when he was a tight end with the Lions back 1333 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:49,680 Speaker 2: in two thousand and seven, second year, second to last 1334 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,439 Speaker 2: year I covered the team. Doug Peterson was a quarterback 1335 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 2: in the National Football League. Kevin O'Connell plus Zach Taylor 1336 01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,920 Speaker 2: and Dennis Allen, well, they were practice squad players. But 1337 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:08,719 Speaker 2: hey work with me. Okay, Finally, diversity improvement the NFL 1338 01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,240 Speaker 2: appears to be making some progress on diversity hiring. Raheem Morris, 1339 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 2: Girod Mayo, Antonio Pearce. They're all black. Dave Canalis is 1340 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:21,000 Speaker 2: Mexican American. And when you have four coaches hired in 1341 01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,360 Speaker 2: one cycle, that's a record. In this follows years. I 1342 01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:29,679 Speaker 2: think of many seasons where perhaps minorities were denied authentic 1343 01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:33,320 Speaker 2: consideration for the top jobs in the NFL, And so 1344 01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,840 Speaker 2: goodyear in that department. I believe nine of the thirty 1345 01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,960 Speaker 2: two head coaching positions now belong to men of diverse backgrounds. 1346 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:45,919 Speaker 2: Raheem Morris, Girod Mayo, Antonio Peers, Dave Canalis, Todd Bowles. 1347 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,599 Speaker 2: By the way, I thought, Todd, Why didn't Todd Bowles 1348 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 2: get more credit this year in Tampa Bay? How does 1349 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 2: that fly under the radar? How do you not like 1350 01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 2: that guy? He did an outstanding job. Look at the 1351 01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,439 Speaker 2: way he handled a knucklehead reporter who talked about going 1352 01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,840 Speaker 2: to Detroit playing in the elements. And Baker Mayfield did 1353 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,320 Speaker 2: well ener and he's a defensive guy. And let's not 1354 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:09,320 Speaker 2: forget why we're on the Todd Bulls bandwagon, which and 1355 01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,519 Speaker 2: I like Todd Bowles a lot. He was the architect 1356 01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:16,439 Speaker 2: of the defense that's completely stifled Pack mahomes four years 1357 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:21,600 Speaker 2: ago when Tampa Bay won Mike Tomlin, Robert Sala, you 1358 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 2: get the picture right. So this is something that Roger 1359 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,840 Speaker 2: Goodell has talked about. The soft ways to improve the 1360 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,719 Speaker 2: front offs diversity approve coaching diversity. In recent years, they've 1361 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 2: expanded the Rooney Rule that requires teams to now conduct 1362 01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 2: in person interviews with at least two external minority candidates 1363 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,120 Speaker 2: for not only head coaching but general manager positions. So 1364 01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 2: all good, it's all good, and this coaching cycle is 1365 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,240 Speaker 2: now in the books. But you heard me mention it. 1366 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:55,840 Speaker 2: Just because Bill Belichick isn't working now doesn't mean he's 1367 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,160 Speaker 2: not going to be next year. I will share with 1368 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:00,519 Speaker 2: you potential landing spots and if you work with me, 1369 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,280 Speaker 2: I think you'll see that. Yeah, there's some merit. I'm 1370 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Company alive from Las Vegas. Keep it locked 1371 01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,080 Speaker 2: the Bernie Fraddle Show. Well that's right, you heard the man. 1372 01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,080 Speaker 2: The Bernie Fraddle Show keeps rolling right along. My name 1373 01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 2: is Bernie Fratter. We are coming to you live from 1374 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,639 Speaker 2: the tyrack dot Com studios here in Las Vegas Home 1375 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,679 Speaker 2: weve Super Bowl fifty eight.

Tyrack 1378 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 2: dot com. The way tire buying should be all right. 1379 01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,320 Speaker 2: So you won't have Bill Belichick to kick around in 1380 01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, first time in forty nine years, he 1381 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 2: will not be gracing and the NFL sidelined for any reason. 1382 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,519 Speaker 2: Began his career in nineteen seventy five with the Detroit 1383 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,920 Speaker 2: Lions as just a young and he was like twenty 1384 01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:54,040 Speaker 2: three years old. But I think if Bill Belichick wants 1385 01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:57,280 Speaker 2: another coaching job, a head coaching job, remember he's only 1386 01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:01,040 Speaker 2: fifteen shy of overtaking Don sho is the all time 1387 01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:04,679 Speaker 2: wins record. I do not think you can write him 1388 01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:10,040 Speaker 2: off in twenty twenty five. So use your imagination, work 1389 01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:14,280 Speaker 2: with me and think, because I'll lay out some teams. 1390 01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:17,200 Speaker 2: And why I'm not making any predictions. What I am 1391 01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:22,599 Speaker 2: saying is you really can't rule any of these teams out. Now, 1392 01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:26,559 Speaker 2: maybe one of them if the dominoes fall a certain way. 1393 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 2: Let's start with the Dallas Cowboys. Now, when the Cowboys 1394 01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:35,240 Speaker 2: blew it again in the wildcard round last month. It 1395 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,320 Speaker 2: was easy to envision Jerry Jones sending a quick note 1396 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 2: to Bill Belichick and saying, just hop on the next plane, 1397 01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,760 Speaker 2: let's do this instead. Not surprising to me at all, 1398 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 2: Jones is keeping Mike McCarthy around for one more year. 1399 01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:52,519 Speaker 2: It's fifty year of his contract, it's his last year now. 1400 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,599 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick does have a relationship with Jerry Jones over 1401 01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 2: the years, and it's not outrageous to think Jones could 1402 01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 2: make a big name splash if McCarthy exits, which I 1403 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,880 Speaker 2: expect Dallas to screw the poocha again next year. Just 1404 01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,360 Speaker 2: who they are managed their DNA, great regular season team 1405 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:12,479 Speaker 2: that in thirty cents will get you a cup of 1406 01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 2: coffee at Dunkin Donuts. Be that as it may, Jerry 1407 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:22,240 Speaker 2: Jones isn't getting any younger. Wood. Would Jerry Jones bring 1408 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,800 Speaker 2: in Bill Belichick with what he would perceive to be 1409 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,720 Speaker 2: as a Super Bowl ready roster, You can't rule it out. 1410 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 2: Gone to my head, probably not, because I can't see 1411 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:36,920 Speaker 2: those two co existing Bill Bill Bellich. Jerry Jones likes 1412 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,639 Speaker 2: subservient coaches. He kept Jason garrett Aro on Good Guy 1413 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,679 Speaker 2: seven eight years kept. You know Mike McCarthy now five, 1414 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:45,640 Speaker 2: he did the Chan gailees. You saw what happen with 1415 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson. Remember, Jerry not only wants to win a 1416 01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,960 Speaker 2: super Bowl, he wants to win on his terms. I mean, 1417 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 2: if he could make some Falstian deal or Jerry guaranteed 1418 01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 2: to win a super Bowl in twenty twenty four or 1419 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:02,160 Speaker 2: twenty five, but you got it, bring back Jimmy Johnson 1420 01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 2: one more time. I don't think he'd do it. He 1421 01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:07,200 Speaker 2: wants to win on his terms. So to that end, 1422 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:10,080 Speaker 2: could you rule out Bill Belichick? Most likely, but one 1423 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:14,240 Speaker 2: hundred percent no. Remember, desperate people do desperate things. Jerry's 1424 01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,599 Speaker 2: not getting any under I think he might get desperate. 1425 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,920 Speaker 2: How about the New York Giants. This would be a 1426 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:23,360 Speaker 2: full circle situation. Bill Belichick won his first two Super 1427 01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,120 Speaker 2: Bowls as an assistant. He was the defensive coordinator on 1428 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 2: Bill Parcell's staff with the Giants. He left on very 1429 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 2: good terms. He has an appreciation for the New York 1430 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,959 Speaker 2: Giants franchise, and that hasn't always happened when Bill Belichick 1431 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,040 Speaker 2: left other jobs. Now, Brian Dable, he's returning for a 1432 01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,639 Speaker 2: third season, but he may have been twenty twenty two 1433 01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:43,160 Speaker 2: Coach of the Year. He's coming off a six to 1434 01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,760 Speaker 2: eleven year and he had to replace two coordinators. If 1435 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,400 Speaker 2: it doesn't go well, could there be an opening for 1436 01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:52,719 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick? Sure? Would it happen? I don't know. Again, 1437 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:56,760 Speaker 2: these are possibilities. How about the Cleveland Browns? So this 1438 01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:00,000 Speaker 2: would be a real full circle moment about a reunion 1439 01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:04,720 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. He got his first head coaching gig in 1440 01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:09,440 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one. I think Kevin Stefanski did an outstanding 1441 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:13,960 Speaker 2: job last year. First NFL coach in history to win 1442 01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:19,799 Speaker 2: games with four different starting quarterbacks. After Deshaun Watson went down, 1443 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,599 Speaker 2: he ended up with Joe Flacker and I like Joe Flacckell. 1444 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 2: But if you listen to the group Think Echo Chamber, 1445 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:26,880 Speaker 2: they actually that the guy was sold. His blood type 1446 01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,720 Speaker 2: has discontinued. But he stepped on the field and did well. 1447 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:32,080 Speaker 2: But see, here's the thing. This is going to be 1448 01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 2: the fifth season for Kevin Stefanski as the head man. 1449 01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:41,160 Speaker 2: And if it concludes without going to the playoffs with 1450 01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:45,360 Speaker 2: that roster, or it concludes without a playoff win, you 1451 01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,680 Speaker 2: can't rule out Belichick Again. You've got a hell of 1452 01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:53,560 Speaker 2: a roster there. Now the Chicago Bears, they need stability. 1453 01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 2: They've had four coaches in the last ten years. Belichick's 1454 01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:58,920 Speaker 2: not going to be a long term mancher for anyone. 1455 01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,640 Speaker 2: You would expect three years tops, I think. But he 1456 01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 2: could take over an organization and implement a winning culture 1457 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,759 Speaker 2: as a bridge. Now, Matt Eberflus is back for another season, 1458 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 2: likely with a different quarterback. I don't know why you 1459 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 2: continue with Justin Fields. He's ten and twenty eight. I 1460 01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 2: like Justin Fields. I like everything about him, except he 1461 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:20,880 Speaker 2: can't operate from the pocket. Please don't make me go 1462 01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,559 Speaker 2: down that road again. But let's not forget. The Bears 1463 01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:25,600 Speaker 2: also fired head coach John Fox at the end of 1464 01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 2: the twenty seventh season, one year after working into a 1465 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,960 Speaker 2: highly drafted quarterback. So if they draft a new quarterback, 1466 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:36,680 Speaker 2: you assume they'd stick with Eberflus to get stability. But 1467 01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 2: that doesn't indicate what their history doesn't indicate they would 1468 01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:42,960 Speaker 2: do that. If you get my drift, how about the 1469 01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints. They ever since losing Drew Brees and 1470 01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 2: Sean Payton seem a drift. They've got kind of an 1471 01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,639 Speaker 2: old roster, they've got salary cap problems, and if you're 1472 01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:58,799 Speaker 2: bringing Belichick, he's gonna want the keys of the entire operation. 1473 01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 2: But the Saints struggle again next season. You can't say 1474 01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,599 Speaker 2: that'd be the worst thing in the world, could you. Again, 1475 01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:09,320 Speaker 2: it's freaking Bill Belichick. All right? How about the Tampa 1476 01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,400 Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers. Now again, I've been singing the praises a 1477 01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:16,000 Speaker 2: Todd Bowles, and I meant it. I think Todd Bowles 1478 01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:20,640 Speaker 2: was one of the him presiding over Baker Mayfield and 1479 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,360 Speaker 2: the Bucks. They were one of the most positive surprises 1480 01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,680 Speaker 2: next season. But he's also got to higher a new 1481 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:30,479 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator because Dave Knalis got the Panthers top job. 1482 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:35,800 Speaker 2: But again, here you want storylines, people, here's another. Here's 1483 01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:39,839 Speaker 2: another following in the well. Look, you know this wouldn't 1484 01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,360 Speaker 2: be a homecoming, but he would be following Brady's footsteps, 1485 01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,680 Speaker 2: because remember Brady went to Tampa Bay. So the quarterback 1486 01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:48,360 Speaker 2: known as Tom Brady. I think the history books will 1487 01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,320 Speaker 2: show he kind of needed a break from Belichick and 1488 01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,400 Speaker 2: his intensity an exhausting coaching style, so he left New 1489 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:55,599 Speaker 2: England a twenty twenty won a Super Bowl the following season. 1490 01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:01,360 Speaker 2: I think that's a stream long shot, but again, you 1491 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,479 Speaker 2: just never know. Now, the Buffalo Bills is one that 1492 01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:07,720 Speaker 2: I don't think you can pooh pooh. And I like 1493 01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:12,639 Speaker 2: Sean McDermott. He's averaging eleven point six wins is five years. 1494 01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:14,080 Speaker 2: The Bills have become one of the best teams in 1495 01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,200 Speaker 2: the league, but they can't get over the humper reach 1496 01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:19,719 Speaker 2: the super Bowl. And like the Cowboys, there was actually 1497 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,840 Speaker 2: chatter in Buffalo this past year would the Bills be 1498 01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,759 Speaker 2: looking for a new leader after another disappointing playoff loss? 1499 01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,920 Speaker 2: But that's not gonna happen for at least another year. 1500 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 2: So when you look at Buffalo's roster on both sides 1501 01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,840 Speaker 2: of the ball, would a guy like Bill Belichick, with 1502 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,240 Speaker 2: all the experience and all kinds of success on the 1503 01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:45,639 Speaker 2: biggest stage, do you bring him in plug and play? Now. 1504 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:48,960 Speaker 2: I don't know that Patriots fans would be happy about 1505 01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,479 Speaker 2: that they'd have to compete against Belichick twice a year, 1506 01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 2: but I am told by people I trust that is 1507 01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:00,880 Speaker 2: a job. Bill Belichick would really like Buffalo Bills with 1508 01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 2: that roster. But having said that, having said that, remember 1509 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,800 Speaker 2: they got a coach and they got a soft spot 1510 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,880 Speaker 2: in my heart for the Bill. So if for any reason. 1511 01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:14,519 Speaker 2: Sean mc dermott goes away after next year, it's probably 1512 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:18,519 Speaker 2: another disappointing season. Finally, Actually, there's a couple of other 1513 01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,760 Speaker 2: ones here. I want you to hear me out on. 1514 01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:22,680 Speaker 2: One is a real long shot. The other. If you 1515 01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:26,880 Speaker 2: hear me out, maybe it's a stretch. But what if 1516 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:30,559 Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl? Andy Reid 1517 01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 2: is sixty five. There were rumors last year that he 1518 01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,879 Speaker 2: was considering retirement. So if the Chiefs win again next Sunday, 1519 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:41,720 Speaker 2: perhaps Andy Reid would surprise some folks around the league 1520 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:45,280 Speaker 2: and hang them up. Now, what if you pair Patrick 1521 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:49,000 Speaker 2: Mahomes with the same coach who presided over Tom Brady 1522 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:51,920 Speaker 2: and helped turn him into the goat? Now Holmes does 1523 01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:53,920 Speaker 2: a needle whole hell of a lot. I help there. 1524 01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 2: It's a little crazy. It's hard to imagine another bad 1525 01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:00,880 Speaker 2: scenario for the Patriots fans. Now you get a which 1526 01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 2: Belichick maybe lead another team to a super Bowl and Mahomes. Really, 1527 01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:10,640 Speaker 2: here's the kicker, here's your storyline. Tom Brady, what he's won, 1528 01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:13,479 Speaker 2: He won six super Bowls in New England. Mahomes wins 1529 01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:18,040 Speaker 2: that'll be his third. Let's say Reid retires, Belichick comes in. 1530 01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,439 Speaker 2: Somehow they both win a couple more Super Bowls. All Right, 1531 01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,680 Speaker 2: I know I'm in fantasy land here. This is very fanciful, 1532 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:32,679 Speaker 2: but uh look it's a possibility. If you're gonna follow 1533 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,720 Speaker 2: and Andy Reid's footsteps, you better have some junk in 1534 01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 2: your trunk. I don't know that's a job of first 1535 01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,040 Speaker 2: year coordinator or some hot shot coordinator is gonna want 1536 01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:45,360 Speaker 2: so again. Kansas City, Buffalo, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Chicago Bears, 1537 01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:48,519 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys. You don't think 1538 01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:50,720 Speaker 2: one of those could potentially go to Belichick if the 1539 01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:54,920 Speaker 2: dominoes fall right? Finally, why not end this up with 1540 01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:59,400 Speaker 2: the Theater of the Absurd? How about the New York Jets? Now? 1541 01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,880 Speaker 2: What do I call the theater the absurd? Because Belichick 1542 01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,400 Speaker 2: hates the Jets and I don't think he's liked him 1543 01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 2: for twenty four years, going back to when he basically 1544 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:10,400 Speaker 2: ditched the franchise, ghosted him after one day, and he 1545 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 2: was hired and joined the Patriots. He did a thirty 1546 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:17,200 Speaker 2: for thirty documentary and Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick both 1547 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:19,680 Speaker 2: had a conversation about their time in New York, and 1548 01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:23,720 Speaker 2: Belichick refused to even visit the Jets' locker room. So 1549 01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:29,360 Speaker 2: this ain't probably happening. But what if something goofy happens 1550 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:32,120 Speaker 2: and I don't I like Robert Sella, I do, but 1551 01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,080 Speaker 2: I don't think he's long for this world in New York. 1552 01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:37,360 Speaker 2: He'll land somewhere else. I don't know, but I'll tell 1553 01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:41,880 Speaker 2: you it would be intriguing New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers. 1554 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,439 Speaker 2: Can you imagine it? If you can dream and it 1555 01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:48,080 Speaker 2: can happen. No one's dreaming that. But those are eight 1556 01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:52,760 Speaker 2: scenarios there. And so just because Bill Belichick didn't get 1557 01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,320 Speaker 2: a job this year, doesn't mean you can write him 1558 01:29:55,360 --> 01:30:01,639 Speaker 2: off for next year, meaning twenty twenty five. Right, hey, 1559 01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,640 Speaker 2: Bob Yunker, once you hit a home run off Sandy Kofax, 1560 01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:08,880 Speaker 2: don't tell me it can't happen. Football fans, be sure 1561 01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:11,759 Speaker 2: to tune into Fox Sports Radio every Sunday morning, beginning 1562 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,720 Speaker 2: at ten am Eastern seventy m Pacific for countdown to 1563 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,799 Speaker 2: kickofpers ented by BETMGM, Brian No, Jeff Schwartz, my buddy, 1564 01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:21,840 Speaker 2: Bill Krockenberger, professional better Bill Krackenberger.

If you were hoping to 1570 01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,800 Speaker 2: see some fresh blood in the Super Bowl, well you 1571 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:42,360 Speaker 2: might not be happy about the Chiefs diners, but it 1572 01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,760 Speaker 2: sets up one hell of a rematch. Let's start to 1573 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,040 Speaker 2: dive into it. Look a little bit back last week 1574 01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 2: and how they got here, and let's look ahead with 1575 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,960 Speaker 2: some stuff you're gonna want to hear about. I'm Bernie Frodlewer, 1576 01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:55,960 Speaker 2: come to your line from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, 1577 01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,280 Speaker 2: Tirack dot Com studios.

Yep, the Dance Sensation Sweep of the Nation. 1583 01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:18,600 Speaker 2: Brand new editions, What kind of brand new fool you 1584 01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:23,200 Speaker 2: followed by what my name? All right? The Super Bowl 1585 01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:26,679 Speaker 2: is set. If you were hoping to see some fresh blood, 1586 01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:31,120 Speaker 2: well you might be a little disappointed. But rematches aren't 1587 01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:33,759 Speaker 2: the worst thing. There been lots of them in the past, 1588 01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:35,960 Speaker 2: and usually they've turned out pretty good. Remember, this is 1589 01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:40,400 Speaker 2: a a rematch from gosh, the Super Bowl, you know 1590 01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:44,599 Speaker 2: they're gonna run it back, was four years ago something 1591 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:46,880 Speaker 2: along those lines. And the bottom line is that was 1592 01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,040 Speaker 2: a very good game. The Chiefs trailed by ten, well, 1593 01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:53,680 Speaker 2: they trailed twenty one ten with six minutes to go 1594 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,960 Speaker 2: and ended up winning thirty to thirty one twenty or 1595 01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:58,160 Speaker 2: they trailed twenty to ten. But the point, the point 1596 01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:01,759 Speaker 2: is is that it's it's a rematch of Super Bowl 1597 01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:08,840 Speaker 2: I think, forty nine, No. Fifty four, I think. And 1598 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 2: so when you look at how these two teams got here, 1599 01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:16,920 Speaker 2: it wasn't necessarily easy because well Baltimore and Detroit put 1600 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,280 Speaker 2: up pretty good fights. But in the end, the Chiefs Niners, 1601 01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,679 Speaker 2: and they combined have combined for ten conference title game 1602 01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:28,480 Speaker 2: appearances in the last six seasons. These are very formidable franchises. 1603 01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 2: So that's what's going to make this matchup. So I 1604 01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:36,240 Speaker 2: think so potentially epic Baltimore Kansas City with a low 1605 01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:39,080 Speaker 2: scoring affairs seventeen to ten. That might have come in 1606 01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:41,720 Speaker 2: a surprise to some, but the quality of each offense 1607 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:45,240 Speaker 2: and the reputation of the two quarterbacks just ran into 1608 01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:50,880 Speaker 2: some defenses that frankly were We're prevailing. And by the way, 1609 01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:53,760 Speaker 2: this Chiefs defense is no slouch. They've gone under the 1610 01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:55,840 Speaker 2: second half of their games eighteen to two in their 1611 01:32:55,920 --> 01:33:03,439 Speaker 2: last twenty. Look, both pass rushes will made I'm talking 1612 01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,800 Speaker 2: about kansasity Baltimore. Both pass rushes made things difficult for 1613 01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:10,519 Speaker 2: both passes passers, and so that's why it was still 1614 01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:13,639 Speaker 2: low scored. And the Chiefs actually sacked Lamar Jackson four 1615 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:15,839 Speaker 2: times and knocked to the ground a bunch of other times. 1616 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:18,439 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, who'd not been sacked and either of the 1617 01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:22,439 Speaker 2: Chief's first two playoff games, got sacked twice, five quarterback hits, 1618 01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:26,400 Speaker 2: and both of the guys, both Jackson and Mahomes, were 1619 01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,360 Speaker 2: forced to abandon the pocket many times. But in the end, 1620 01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:32,880 Speaker 2: it was Patrick Mahomes who dealt with pressure better than 1621 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:36,320 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson. He actually completed seventy seven percent of his 1622 01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:40,080 Speaker 2: passes under pressure, compared to fifty four percent for Lamar Jackson. 1623 01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:45,599 Speaker 2: So Jackson, I would say and his offensive coordinator Todd 1624 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,639 Speaker 2: Monkin did not have their best day. But look, there's 1625 01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:50,760 Speaker 2: an old saying in life, be at the right place 1626 01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:52,920 Speaker 2: at the right time. But you also you gotta do 1627 01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,599 Speaker 2: something about it, okay, And that's what the Chiefs did. 1628 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:01,880 Speaker 2: They took advantage of things. So what the Ravens didn't 1629 01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:06,240 Speaker 2: barely run the ball all day sixteen rushing attempts. Well, 1630 01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:11,040 Speaker 2: whatever happened, the Chiefs had to beat him still, and 1631 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:15,400 Speaker 2: Chiefs offense was more balanced and Kansas City dominated time 1632 01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:18,840 Speaker 2: of possession. That's just a fact. So the Ravens did 1633 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:22,080 Speaker 2: keep things close. The result might have been different. They 1634 01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:26,519 Speaker 2: did make some brutal mistakes. Save Flowers boneheaded tawning penalty 1635 01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:29,000 Speaker 2: in the third quarter after a fifty four yard gain. 1636 01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:31,880 Speaker 2: Save Flowers did not have a good day. Four plays later, 1637 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,880 Speaker 2: he fumbles. He's attempting to dive into the end zone. 1638 01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:37,040 Speaker 2: You've heard of a thousand times. Don't reach for the 1639 01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:40,519 Speaker 2: goal line, but he did, and Baltimore never got into 1640 01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:43,959 Speaker 2: the red zone again. The most confounding error was Jackson. 1641 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:46,720 Speaker 2: And everybody tries to tell us he's the greatest thing 1642 01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,120 Speaker 2: since the Pepperoni pizza. Maybe he is, feel free to 1643 01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,799 Speaker 2: get to a Super Bowl, fella, and I like Lamar Jackson, 1644 01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:55,160 Speaker 2: but when you forced to throw into triple coverage in 1645 01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,519 Speaker 2: the end zone with about seven minutes to play, the 1646 01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:01,200 Speaker 2: pass gets picked off. Game set, man. The Chiefs were 1647 01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:04,320 Speaker 2: the better team they are in the Super Bowl. Tough 1648 01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,840 Speaker 2: way for the Ravens to lose the game, but it 1649 01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,960 Speaker 2: was nothing compared to what the Lions endured, oh Man. 1650 01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:15,679 Speaker 2: The Detroit dominated the first half, taking a twenty four 1651 01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:18,840 Speaker 2: to seven lead into the locker room. The Niners turned 1652 01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,880 Speaker 2: the tide in the second half. The Lions wilted San 1653 01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:26,080 Speaker 2: Francisco scored on all five of their second half possessions, 1654 01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:29,800 Speaker 2: including excluding the final drive to run out the clock, 1655 01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:32,920 Speaker 2: while the Lions failed to score on the first four 1656 01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:36,439 Speaker 2: possessions of the half. That translated. The Lions won the 1657 01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:41,559 Speaker 2: first half twenty four to seven, and the Niners won 1658 01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:47,360 Speaker 2: the second half twenty seven to seven. Stunning collapsed for Detroit. 1659 01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:49,599 Speaker 2: The main reason, certainly was the Niners putting their foot 1660 01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:54,200 Speaker 2: on the gas and showing why they were duly you know, 1661 01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:59,719 Speaker 2: worthy of being the NFC's number one seed. But Listen 1662 01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 2: talked about this at length Friday night. Detroit's collapse does 1663 01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:09,400 Speaker 2: feel somewhat self inflicted. How could it not. Let's face it, 1664 01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:16,519 Speaker 2: you know, Dan Campbell made some decisions. You can talk 1665 01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 2: about living by the sword, dying by the sword. I 1666 01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:24,160 Speaker 2: get it. The Lions got there because of their aggressiveness. 1667 01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:27,520 Speaker 2: But and it really has nothing to do with analytics. 1668 01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:33,040 Speaker 2: Dan Campbell is his motor separandi. He's not an analytics guy. 1669 01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:37,040 Speaker 2: He's a risk taker by nature. But what's interesting is 1670 01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:40,439 Speaker 2: in the first half he went for the field goal 1671 01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:42,679 Speaker 2: to put them up by three scorer. So why going 1672 01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:44,679 Speaker 2: up three scores in the first half is a good idea? 1673 01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:49,960 Speaker 2: But not in the second half the biggest, the most 1674 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,360 Speaker 2: egregious decision which ended up not working on and again, 1675 01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:55,320 Speaker 2: it's one of those situations. If it works, your genius. 1676 01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 2: If it doesn't, you can be called the village idiot. 1677 01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:00,920 Speaker 2: Just ask Pete Carroll in the Super Bowl back in 1678 01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:03,400 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. You know what happened on the goal line there, 1679 01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:07,280 Speaker 2: But was seven minutes to go in the third quarter 1680 01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,439 Speaker 2: had they attempted the field goal, and you know, I 1681 01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:15,000 Speaker 2: know it's not guaranteed. I get it. Michael Badgeley's fifty 1682 01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:17,600 Speaker 2: percent between forty five and forty nine, but he just 1683 01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:19,840 Speaker 2: kicked a fifty four yarder against the Rams two weeks 1684 01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:22,639 Speaker 2: prior to win the game. If they met that field goal, 1685 01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:26,639 Speaker 2: Now the Lions are going up three scores and you're 1686 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,679 Speaker 2: in the second half of the third quarter. The Niners 1687 01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:32,360 Speaker 2: at most would have four more possessions. They'd have to 1688 01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:34,599 Speaker 2: score on at least three of them and stop the Lions, 1689 01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:37,599 Speaker 2: and they couldn't afford to go on seven minute drives. 1690 01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 2: They would have had to score quickly. Mathematically, the Lions 1691 01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:43,599 Speaker 2: would have been in phenomenal position. And then, of course, 1692 01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:46,760 Speaker 2: the one that people remember the most is when the 1693 01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:49,519 Speaker 2: Lions trailed twenty seven to twenty four, had a chance 1694 01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:53,439 Speaker 2: to dry a field goal. They didn't. They didn't get 1695 01:37:53,479 --> 01:37:56,400 Speaker 2: the ball, the passes dropped, and let's not forget there 1696 01:37:56,400 --> 01:38:00,320 Speaker 2: were fumbles, drop passes, lots of other you know, self 1697 01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:04,080 Speaker 2: inflicted wounds. And so part of this is are you 1698 01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:07,920 Speaker 2: upset with Dan Campbell's decision or you're more upset with 1699 01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:12,719 Speaker 2: the execution, whether or not you employ analytics or whatever 1700 01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:15,840 Speaker 2: your philosophy is. I believe that everything is situational, everything 1701 01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,720 Speaker 2: has a context. And if you are one of those 1702 01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:21,400 Speaker 2: analytics guys, and again I'm fine, but analytics is not 1703 01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:25,439 Speaker 2: an inflexible anchor. It's a guideline. Do you want to 1704 01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:27,880 Speaker 2: use analytics in Week eight against Carolina when you're at 1705 01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:29,479 Speaker 2: home and things are looking good, that's not going to 1706 01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,320 Speaker 2: simply be the same as on the road against the 1707 01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:34,599 Speaker 2: forty nine ers in the playoffs with all the marbles 1708 01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:36,960 Speaker 2: on the line, every bit of them and a whole city. 1709 01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,760 Speaker 2: Did you know that Ford Fields sold out Sunday? The 1710 01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:44,960 Speaker 2: fans packed Ford Field sixty thousand worth to watch the 1711 01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,880 Speaker 2: freaking game on TV. So there's a bit of an 1712 01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:51,240 Speaker 2: awareness there as well. This is a team that had 1713 01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:54,000 Speaker 2: prior to this year won one playoff game since nineteen 1714 01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:57,160 Speaker 2: fifty seven. Everybody keeps saying it was ninety one. No, 1715 01:38:57,160 --> 01:39:00,320 Speaker 2: it was ninety two, January fifth, they'd be Dallas eight 1716 01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:02,880 Speaker 2: to six. John Madden on the call that day in 1717 01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:04,800 Speaker 2: ninety two said you're looking at the two teams of 1718 01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,760 Speaker 2: the nineties. He was half right. Dallas went on to 1719 01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:10,280 Speaker 2: win three Super Bowls. The Lions, although they got to 1720 01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:12,799 Speaker 2: the playoffs five more times in the decade of the nineties, 1721 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:17,639 Speaker 2: never won a playoff game again in the nineties or 1722 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:20,960 Speaker 2: even up until just this, you know, earlier this year 1723 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:25,360 Speaker 2: so it's so hard to get in that position. The 1724 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,839 Speaker 2: stars lined up. The Lion's actually had two home games 1725 01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,840 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. The Lions have not won a road 1726 01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:37,920 Speaker 2: playoff game since nineteen fifty seven. Bottom line is, I 1727 01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:40,640 Speaker 2: don't agree with Dan Campbell's decision, and that's not a 1728 01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:45,479 Speaker 2: hindsight twenty twenty vision. Things are situational, and that in 1729 01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,519 Speaker 2: that moment it would have made more sense. It's a 1730 01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:53,680 Speaker 2: risk reward situation. Tie the game, give your team a 1731 01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 2: chance to fight another day. So we're heading into an 1732 01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:01,720 Speaker 2: interesting Super Bowl next week. Brought a perfect six and 1733 01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:04,920 Speaker 2: zero starts this year versus NFC playoff field. He's beating 1734 01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:08,320 Speaker 2: the Cowboys, Bucks, Eagles, Rams, Packers, and of course the 1735 01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,960 Speaker 2: Lions to make it a clean sleep. A real exclamation 1736 01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:15,680 Speaker 2: point on brock Perty's resume. He became the first quarterback 1737 01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:18,439 Speaker 2: for any team since Joe Montana in nineteen eighty four 1738 01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:22,040 Speaker 2: to sweep every playoff team in its conference between the 1739 01:40:22,040 --> 01:40:26,519 Speaker 2: regular season and the postseason. Coming up, we're gonna talk 1740 01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:35,000 Speaker 2: about additional storylines, emerging storylines, and other aspects of this 1741 01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:39,480 Speaker 2: Super Bowl fifty eight next week coming up. But first 1742 01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:41,519 Speaker 2: to go to a guy, the chef Kevin Wired with 1743 01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:49,280 Speaker 2: the latest it is Tonight is right for love with 1744 01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 2: Merivon Bangs to. 1745 01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:58,799 Speaker 1: Burn expression love is so sweet, Oh. 1746 01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:05,439 Speaker 2: Deep dog in Tonight is Right Far Low with David 1747 01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:11,320 Speaker 2: Bester Bird the Chef another outstanding job. 1748 01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:18,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, we saw plenty of cooking in the NBA tonight. 1749 01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:20,679 Speaker 6: A lot of scoring a lot of big, high scoring 1750 01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:24,600 Speaker 6: performances beginning with Steph Curry. He was tops in the 1751 01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:28,799 Speaker 6: league tonight sixty points, but not enough as the Golden 1752 01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:31,519 Speaker 6: State Warriors loose to the Hawks.

At 1765 01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:15,880 Speaker 6: the college level, Yukon at the top ranked Huskies beats 1766 01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:19,720 Speaker 6: Saint John seventy seven to sixty four. That huge rivalry 1767 01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:24,120 Speaker 6: game on Tobacco Road, a top ten matchup between Carolina 1768 01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:26,439 Speaker 6: and Duke, and the tar Heels win at ninety three 1769 01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:29,120 Speaker 6: eighty four over. In the Big twelve, we had a 1770 01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:33,280 Speaker 6: few ranked matchups. Number eight Kansas tops number four Houston 1771 01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:37,400 Speaker 6: seventy eight sixty five.

And the only NFL injury news we had 1779 01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:06,800 Speaker 6: regarding the Super Bowl, Jack McKinnon going to be designated 1780 01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:10,639 Speaker 6: to return from injured reserve by the Chiefs. He's been 1781 01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:12,280 Speaker 6: dealing with a groin injury. 1782 01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:17,080 Speaker 2: Back to you, Berney, all right, chef, another outstanding performance 1783 01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:20,559 Speaker 2: and keep those vocal cords ready. Of course, you and 1784 01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:23,760 Speaker 2: and Ian and Mark will be top of the hor 1785 01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:25,640 Speaker 2: we'll get into what kind of brand new food do you? 1786 01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:30,120 Speaker 2: And what my name? You know? I've always find it 1787 01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:34,680 Speaker 2: fascinating when teams end up in the Promised Land, as 1788 01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,719 Speaker 2: it were. They haven't won the Super Bowl yet, only 1789 01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:42,040 Speaker 2: one will emerge, either the forty nine ers or Kansas City. 1790 01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:45,599 Speaker 2: But the path to get there, to me is always 1791 01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:50,640 Speaker 2: were the story really culminates. And when you look at 1792 01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:54,559 Speaker 2: how these two teams arrived in the Super Bowl, you 1793 01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:58,240 Speaker 2: have to ask yourself. A month ago, you knew this 1794 01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:02,080 Speaker 2: was a real possibility, but you had other very formidable 1795 01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:09,600 Speaker 2: franchises looming. So could you really guarantee this what happened? Well? Know, 1796 01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:12,000 Speaker 2: how could you? Because three weeks ago, what was the 1797 01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:14,679 Speaker 2: group think echo chamber talking about the fact that Patrick 1798 01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:18,799 Speaker 2: Mahomes would finally have to play some road playoff games 1799 01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:23,000 Speaker 2: this year, something Mahomes had never done in his career. 1800 01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:27,439 Speaker 2: And yes, it's an illustrious career, but what does Mahomes do? 1801 01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:29,920 Speaker 2: You shut everybody up whe a gutty seventeen to ten 1802 01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:33,040 Speaker 2: winn in Baltimore. That's sealed one of the best postseason 1803 01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:37,479 Speaker 2: runs of all time, and after winning impressively in Buffalo 1804 01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:44,200 Speaker 2: the week before, the Chiefs should terrify because if you 1805 01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,160 Speaker 2: bet against them, well, first of all, you're gonna be 1806 01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:49,960 Speaker 2: laying two points. And although some people think they should 1807 01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:51,599 Speaker 2: be the Super Bowl favorites, and a ton of money 1808 01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:54,559 Speaker 2: has come out on Kansas City, trust me, this is 1809 01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:58,680 Speaker 2: where they live. But it's based on power rating. So 1810 01:44:58,680 --> 01:45:00,880 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers deserve to be And frankly, they 1811 01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:04,240 Speaker 2: looked invincible for most of their regular season and then 1812 01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,240 Speaker 2: all of a sudden they turned into what you would 1813 01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:09,920 Speaker 2: con sort of be vulnerable survivor survive at advance in 1814 01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:14,479 Speaker 2: the playoffs. They just did. That's what happened, and when 1815 01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:17,400 Speaker 2: you look at it, you know Nolan Ryan once said, 1816 01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:19,640 Speaker 2: the mark of greatness is when you don't have your 1817 01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:23,760 Speaker 2: best stuff and you win anyway. But they faced both 1818 01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:26,479 Speaker 2: the Packers and the Lions at home in the last 1819 01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:31,920 Speaker 2: two weeks. They fell behind in both games. Detroit actually 1820 01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:34,360 Speaker 2: had a twenty four to seven lead at halftime before 1821 01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:37,679 Speaker 2: they lost thirty four to thirty one, and brock Purty 1822 01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:41,519 Speaker 2: and the Niners have had some weird you know, I 1823 01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:44,400 Speaker 2: would consider vibes in the second half, but when it 1824 01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:48,000 Speaker 2: mattered most, even though they got a couple of lucky bounces, 1825 01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:53,640 Speaker 2: what they did can't be discounted. The Niners are an 1826 01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:57,240 Speaker 2: incredibly talented team period. They have an elite head coach. 1827 01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:00,760 Speaker 2: But frankly, they have not put together complete game in 1828 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:04,360 Speaker 2: the playoffs, so we don't know really one hundred percent 1829 01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:09,479 Speaker 2: what to expect from the Niners next Sunday. I know 1830 01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:12,759 Speaker 2: there are lots of folks lying in wait for brock 1831 01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:16,960 Speaker 2: Party to screw up. I'm not banking on that. I think. 1832 01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:21,000 Speaker 2: I think brock Party is way more than just a 1833 01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:24,559 Speaker 2: game manager. We talked about this last night. They always 1834 01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:26,639 Speaker 2: use that term in the pejorative Well, I got news 1835 01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:29,519 Speaker 2: for you. Guys like Tom Brady and Joe Montana were 1836 01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:32,280 Speaker 2: phenomenal game managers. They're all game managers. You have to 1837 01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:35,720 Speaker 2: be able to manage the offense. And same with being 1838 01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:39,200 Speaker 2: a system quarterback. You operate within the framework of a system, 1839 01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:44,280 Speaker 2: and depending on at the high level you operate within 1840 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:47,760 Speaker 2: the framework of that system, determines the success you have. 1841 01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:52,200 Speaker 2: That's the way it works. But this is a rematch 1842 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:56,120 Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl in twenty twenty, and that that's 1843 01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:59,920 Speaker 2: actually the year that started the Chiefs dynasty. I'll call 1844 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:00,759 Speaker 2: at dynasty. 1845 01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:01,200 Speaker 1: Why not? 1846 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,200 Speaker 2: The Chiefs have now made four of the last five 1847 01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,840 Speaker 2: Super Bowls. This is a chance to win their third. 1848 01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:11,240 Speaker 2: That is the peak Patriots level domination in a five 1849 01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:14,040 Speaker 2: year period. Both Mahomes and Andy Reid. They have a 1850 01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:16,960 Speaker 2: chance to go even further in the history books as 1851 01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:20,960 Speaker 2: this act continues. For Kryle Shanahan, he gets a chance 1852 01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:25,519 Speaker 2: at redemption. His last two Super Bowl appearances have been 1853 01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:29,840 Speaker 2: frankly well a little on the brutal side. They blew 1854 01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:32,760 Speaker 2: a twenty eight to three lead against the Patriots when 1855 01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:36,519 Speaker 2: he was the Falcons offensive coordinator, and blew a twenty 1856 01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:38,839 Speaker 2: ten lead as the Niners head coach against the Chiefs. 1857 01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:41,840 Speaker 2: Chiefs come back and score three touchdowns in the final 1858 01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:46,040 Speaker 2: six minutes to prevail when their first Super Bowl. But 1859 01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:49,720 Speaker 2: I guess in some senses, these are the two we're 1860 01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:52,840 Speaker 2: ending up with, the two teams that most deserve to 1861 01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:56,320 Speaker 2: be there. And you've even got Taylor Swift to boot 1862 01:47:56,360 --> 01:47:58,320 Speaker 2: can you believe it? And you've even got an Usher 1863 01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:02,800 Speaker 2: halftime show.

My goodness, it's in Las Vegas. 1882 01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:09,080 Speaker 2: Get your head around that. Years ago the league wouldn't 1883 01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:13,200 Speaker 2: even accept the now famous sad what happens in Vegas 1884 01:49:13,400 --> 01:49:15,720 Speaker 2: stays in Vegas. I was doing a show on the 1885 01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:19,160 Speaker 2: air in Detroit two thousand and three. We heard the 1886 01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:22,280 Speaker 2: League wouldn't take the advertising, wouldn't take advertising dollars from 1887 01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:27,280 Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Visitors Conventions Center LVCVA, the Las Vegas 1888 01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:31,519 Speaker 2: Visitors and Convention Association. And now the Super Bowl game 1889 01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:35,200 Speaker 2: will be played here a week from today on real 1890 01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:39,840 Speaker 2: but comes with some provisos.

Followed by what 1900 01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:16,760 Speaker 2: my name? All right? So I find this kind of interesting. Obviously, 1901 01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:21,200 Speaker 2: in Vegas people gamble. It is legal here as it 1902 01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:24,400 Speaker 2: is now in thirty two states. But I must tell 1903 01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:27,679 Speaker 2: you still, even though the Super Bowl is in Las Vegas. 1904 01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:33,000 Speaker 2: The biggest challenge the NFL season bringing the Super Bowl 1905 01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:37,680 Speaker 2: to our fair town is acknowledging the fact that there 1906 01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:46,559 Speaker 2: will be temptations among NFL employees, but the NFL employees 1907 01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:52,519 Speaker 2: would be wise to not partake in that lifestyle. I'll 1908 01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:58,920 Speaker 2: tell you why. So basically, the NFL has quote said, 1909 01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:03,200 Speaker 2: the rules are no different for participating teams, players, or 1910 01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:06,080 Speaker 2: other personnel as they would be for any other game. 1911 01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:12,680 Speaker 2: When on business, there's no gambling, whether it's sports gambling 1912 01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:20,760 Speaker 2: or otherwise. Any player, coach, personnel, etc. Who would be 1913 01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:25,360 Speaker 2: caught or identified gambling in a casino would be eligible 1914 01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:29,960 Speaker 2: for the disciplinary process and that would be addressed in 1915 01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:33,360 Speaker 2: the normal course of discipline, as the NFL would any 1916 01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:38,000 Speaker 2: player or any other personnel where there's evidence who's violating 1917 01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:45,000 Speaker 2: the rules around gambling. Now that means slot machines, blackjack tables, 1918 01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:50,160 Speaker 2: relent with you get it, and there's cameras everywhere. As 1919 01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:54,320 Speaker 2: you know, the NFL has taken a fairly aggressive approach 1920 01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:57,840 Speaker 2: to enacting policies, and they affect more than just the 1921 01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:03,120 Speaker 2: entirety of the NFL two teams against gambling and trying to 1922 01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:07,800 Speaker 2: educate people that gambling can be in. No, No, there 1923 01:52:07,840 --> 01:52:10,760 Speaker 2: are more than seventeen thousand people that are employed in 1924 01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:14,080 Speaker 2: the NFL. Yeah, they've been trained on these policies over 1925 01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:16,560 Speaker 2: the course of the season, and a general by the 1926 01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,519 Speaker 2: name of David Highill, the league's general manager for sports betting, 1927 01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:22,560 Speaker 2: says this includes, of course, the players and coaches and 1928 01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:25,840 Speaker 2: staff of all thirty two teams. It also includes game 1929 01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:30,480 Speaker 2: day assistants, game day workers, folks who are operating technology 1930 01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:35,320 Speaker 2: on the sideline, doctors, equipment staff, chief cook and bottle washer. 1931 01:52:35,439 --> 01:52:40,560 Speaker 2: Anybody except for external vendors, anybody that's in proximity to 1932 01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:43,440 Speaker 2: what's happening on the field, undergoes the training and understands 1933 01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:48,559 Speaker 2: their obligations. Now, I knew that people would straighten up 1934 01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:51,120 Speaker 2: in fly rag. You heard the big to do in 1935 01:52:51,160 --> 01:52:56,080 Speaker 2: this last off season when players were caught out the 1936 01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:59,280 Speaker 2: Allen Park facility Detroit Lions betting on their app and 1937 01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:02,160 Speaker 2: the metadata showed they're not allowed to do that. You're 1938 01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:04,439 Speaker 2: not allowed to do it on the premises. But I 1939 01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:08,639 Speaker 2: think there's more education now, more awareness than there ever 1940 01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:11,720 Speaker 2: has been, And I think if you don't know the 1941 01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:14,360 Speaker 2: rules by now, it's just you're just blind or you're 1942 01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,599 Speaker 2: not paying attention, or you just flat out don't care. 1943 01:53:17,640 --> 01:53:21,800 Speaker 2: But anybody quote violating their obligations during Super Bowl Week 1944 01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:25,880 Speaker 2: could really get significant discipline. That discipline could mean just 1945 01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,240 Speaker 2: qualifying from working in the league or playing for up 1946 01:53:29,280 --> 01:53:32,360 Speaker 2: to two years if the violation rises to the level 1947 01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:36,040 Speaker 2: of quote, affecting the integrity of the game. And by 1948 01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:39,280 Speaker 2: the way, you know darn well, if somebody does something wrong, 1949 01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:41,639 Speaker 2: the NFL is going to make sure to make it public. 1950 01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:45,880 Speaker 2: They'll publicize the violations, they'll publicize the punishment. That will 1951 01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:48,479 Speaker 2: create a de urnce factor. And one of the things 1952 01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:50,680 Speaker 2: the NFL really wants more than anything is to make 1953 01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:54,160 Speaker 2: sure they still have the public trust. They want there 1954 01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:57,439 Speaker 2: to be a transparency to what the NFL is doing. 1955 01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:01,759 Speaker 2: They want trust among people watching on TV, people attending 1956 01:54:01,800 --> 01:54:04,840 Speaker 2: in person, even people that don't necessarily watch the NFL 1957 01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:09,080 Speaker 2: but they're just casual onlookers. They want to make sure 1958 01:54:09,439 --> 01:54:11,400 Speaker 2: that every Sunday there is an a doubt in their 1959 01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:17,920 Speaker 2: mind the integrity the game is absolutely pristine now, especially 1960 01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:23,160 Speaker 2: when they're in a city that's so associated with gambling, right, 1961 01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:27,880 Speaker 2: because what happens when doubt enters the mind of the 1962 01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:30,840 Speaker 2: sports fan how often do you hear it's first could 1963 01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:34,400 Speaker 2: supposed to be a conspiracy? They want Taylor Swift there, 1964 01:54:34,600 --> 01:54:40,680 Speaker 2: Travis kelcey, YadA YadA ya. Come on, man, really, but 1965 01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:44,360 Speaker 2: that's how some people think. And now the gambling's permitted 1966 01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:46,960 Speaker 2: freely on sporting events. Every time there's a bad snap 1967 01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:50,440 Speaker 2: or a muff punt, or a drop pass or a turnover, 1968 01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:54,640 Speaker 2: or a crazy penalty or maybe a certain play at 1969 01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:59,640 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator calls that you didn't agree with, that is 1970 01:54:59,680 --> 01:55:02,120 Speaker 2: going to add fuel to the fire. It's going to 1971 01:55:02,200 --> 01:55:07,920 Speaker 2: cause people to speculate, perhaps cause people to accuse is 1972 01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:10,800 Speaker 2: this game fixed? Is their point shaving? I'm telling you, man, 1973 01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:14,120 Speaker 2: there is a class of people out there that believe that. 1974 01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:20,080 Speaker 2: Now the Supreme Court in twenty eighteen overturned the pass 1975 01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:23,840 Speaker 2: By Act, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which 1976 01:55:23,920 --> 01:55:26,400 Speaker 2: was signed into law by George Bush in nineteen ninety 1977 01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:30,840 Speaker 2: two that basically relegated everything back to states rights, and 1978 01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:33,760 Speaker 2: thirty two states have stepped up and gambling is legal. 1979 01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:37,000 Speaker 2: And I can tell you great organizations like my buddy 1980 01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:41,960 Speaker 2: Matt Holt us integrity. I believe strongly in the integrity 1981 01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:44,720 Speaker 2: of the system. But the NFL is dancing a fine line, 1982 01:55:45,720 --> 01:55:48,400 Speaker 2: and the truth of the matter is there are plenty 1983 01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:51,280 Speaker 2: of states that are prohibited from sponsoring or operating, or 1984 01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:58,040 Speaker 2: advertising or promoting or licensing any situation where there's competitive 1985 01:55:58,080 --> 01:56:02,600 Speaker 2: sporting events. Now excited about being here in Vegas, There's 1986 01:56:02,600 --> 01:56:06,320 Speaker 2: no question your executive VP Jeff Miller said, we know 1987 01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:09,440 Speaker 2: the Draft was a great success in Las Vegas. The 1988 01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:11,800 Speaker 2: Pro Bowl the last couple of years have been terrific. 1989 01:56:12,120 --> 01:56:13,840 Speaker 2: Do you have every reason to expect the Super Bowl 1990 01:56:13,880 --> 01:56:18,520 Speaker 2: would be great? Vegas, no doubt about. We are a 1991 01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:23,640 Speaker 2: first class sports city. We know how to do it. 1992 01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:28,640 Speaker 2: We've had NCAA tournament games here. You've got three professional 1993 01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:31,560 Speaker 2: franchises here now the Raiders, the Las Vegas Aces, and 1994 01:56:31,640 --> 01:56:35,720 Speaker 2: of course the Stanley Cup champ winning Las Vegas uh, 1995 01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:41,680 Speaker 2: the Vegas, the Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas is very guarded 1996 01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:44,520 Speaker 2: in protecting the integrity of the game as well. The 1997 01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:48,200 Speaker 2: standards here are far more stringent that you realize. Risk managers, 1998 01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:51,720 Speaker 2: sportsbook managers. I'm telling you, the checks and balances are 1999 01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:54,280 Speaker 2: very impressive here.

Well, the officers checked it out as 2066 02:01:08,920 --> 02:01:12,360 Speaker 2: to the way I understand the story, and the purported 2067 02:01:12,440 --> 02:01:17,160 Speaker 2: owner of the trousers sweatpants that Seahawk was wearing his 2068 02:01:17,240 --> 02:01:25,120 Speaker 2: alleged roommate is four foot one inch.

I'll tell you 2339 02:17:29,480 --> 02:17:32,119 Speaker 2: some records I don't think will be broken. For instance, 2340 02:17:32,200 --> 02:17:34,400 Speaker 2: most touchdowns scored in the game. There have been a 2341 02:17:34,480 --> 02:17:38,000 Speaker 2: bunch of players who've scored three touchdowns in a Super 2342 02:17:38,040 --> 02:17:41,320 Speaker 2: Bowl game. Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, Ricky Waters, Drill Davis, 2343 02:17:41,440 --> 02:17:44,119 Speaker 2: James White. Do I think someone's gonna score four? 2344 02:17:44,600 --> 02:17:44,680 Speaker 1: No? 2345 02:17:44,800 --> 02:17:49,440 Speaker 2: I don't. You know. Tom Brady in that famous comeback 2346 02:17:49,480 --> 02:17:52,680 Speaker 2: against the Falcons twenty eight to three a few years back, 2347 02:17:52,760 --> 02:17:57,600 Speaker 2: completed forty three passes. Completed forty three passes in that 2348 02:17:57,680 --> 02:18:00,520 Speaker 2: comeback through for five hundred and five yard Do I 2349 02:18:00,560 --> 02:18:01,600 Speaker 2: think those will be broken? 2350 02:18:02,240 --> 02:18:02,320 Speaker 11: No? 2351 02:18:02,440 --> 02:18:06,480 Speaker 2: I don't. There are actually two pick sixes in a 2352 02:18:06,520 --> 02:18:11,480 Speaker 2: game Dwight Smith against the Raiders many many years ago, 2353 02:18:11,560 --> 02:18:13,520 Speaker 2: twenty two years ago. Do I think there'll be three 2354 02:18:13,520 --> 02:18:17,160 Speaker 2: pick sixes in the game? No, I don't. The longest 2355 02:18:17,160 --> 02:18:20,520 Speaker 2: completion eighty five yards from Jake Diloan to Massie Muhammad 2356 02:18:20,800 --> 02:18:22,520 Speaker 2: that was one of the great Super Bowls in Houston 2357 02:18:22,560 --> 02:18:25,800 Speaker 2: back in two thousand and four. Eighty five yards could 2358 02:18:25,800 --> 02:18:29,000 Speaker 2: that be broken? It's possible now the Super Bowl I 2359 02:18:29,040 --> 02:18:32,200 Speaker 2: cover in Detroit. Super Bowl forty, the Steelers Willie Parker 2360 02:18:33,200 --> 02:18:38,840 Speaker 2: versus Seattle had a seventy five yard run from scrimmage. 2361 02:18:39,240 --> 02:18:43,680 Speaker 2: I'll tell you a record I'm certain won't be broken. Well, 2362 02:18:43,720 --> 02:18:45,480 Speaker 2: I can't say certain, but I don't think it will 2363 02:18:45,520 --> 02:18:49,000 Speaker 2: be the longest field goal. That takes you back to 2364 02:18:49,040 --> 02:18:53,400 Speaker 2: the mid nineties, the Bill Steve Christie versus Dallas had 2365 02:18:53,440 --> 02:18:55,800 Speaker 2: a fifty four yard field goal. Do you think anybody 2366 02:18:55,800 --> 02:18:57,880 Speaker 2: would attempt to fifty five yard field goal in this 2367 02:18:57,959 --> 02:19:00,640 Speaker 2: day and age of analytics. I'll take another record. I 2368 02:19:00,680 --> 02:19:04,160 Speaker 2: don't think he'll be broken. The Steelers James Harrison back 2369 02:19:04,160 --> 02:19:06,800 Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine versus Arizona had to pick 2370 02:19:06,879 --> 02:19:11,160 Speaker 2: six one hundred yards. How about the longest kickoff return? 2371 02:19:11,480 --> 02:19:13,920 Speaker 2: Think this will be broken? I don't think so. The 2372 02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:16,800 Speaker 2: Ravens Jacoby Jones versus the forty nine Ers when the 2373 02:19:16,800 --> 02:19:19,360 Speaker 2: two Harborough brothers went at it one hundred and eight 2374 02:19:19,440 --> 02:19:22,880 Speaker 2: yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Theydn't eve run him 2375 02:19:22,879 --> 02:19:24,680 Speaker 2: out of the end zone anymore for crying out loud. 2376 02:19:25,040 --> 02:19:28,039 Speaker 2: By the way, if there is a punt return for 2377 02:19:28,080 --> 02:19:31,440 Speaker 2: a touchdown in the Super Bowl next Sunday. It'll be 2378 02:19:31,440 --> 02:19:34,480 Speaker 2: the first time ever. There's never been a punt return 2379 02:19:34,800 --> 02:19:38,800 Speaker 2: touchdown in the Super Bowl history.

Here, at 2440 02:23:14,360 --> 02:23:17,640 Speaker 11: the top of the mountain, top where things get so 2441 02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:22,320 Speaker 11: stressful that two giants at two of the biggest clubs 2442 02:23:22,360 --> 02:23:25,640 Speaker 11: in the world are simply walking away. This week we 2443 02:23:25,720 --> 02:23:29,560 Speaker 11: are talking about Zabie Hernandez, the manager of from Barcelona, 2444 02:23:30,040 --> 02:23:35,600 Speaker 11: and Liverpool's longtime manager Jurgen Klop, both of who have 2445 02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:39,520 Speaker 11: stated that this will be their final season with their 2446 02:23:39,560 --> 02:23:44,279 Speaker 11: respective clubs. They will be leaving Barcelona and Liverpool respectively 2447 02:23:44,360 --> 02:23:45,879 Speaker 11: here during the summer. 2448 02:23:46,920 --> 02:23:47,160 Speaker 1: Now. 2449 02:23:47,200 --> 02:23:50,279 Speaker 11: There are commonalities between the two and there are differences 2450 02:23:50,320 --> 02:23:52,720 Speaker 11: between the two, and we will talk about both. Let's 2451 02:23:52,760 --> 02:23:56,200 Speaker 11: start with Jurgen Klop, who has been managing Liverpool for 2452 02:23:56,240 --> 02:24:00,000 Speaker 11: almost nine years now and the success at Liverpool cannot 2453 02:24:00,080 --> 02:24:02,640 Speaker 11: be under state. He has brought them a Premier League 2454 02:24:02,640 --> 02:24:06,120 Speaker 11: title and a YUEFA Champions League title respectively. He's been 2455 02:24:06,520 --> 02:24:10,840 Speaker 11: runner up twice for the UCL FIFA World Club Cup, 2456 02:24:11,000 --> 02:24:14,600 Speaker 11: a YUEFA Super Cup, an FA Cup and a League Cup. 2457 02:24:14,720 --> 02:24:17,880 Speaker 11: It is a remarkable amount of success, especially in an 2458 02:24:17,920 --> 02:24:22,240 Speaker 11: age that has been dominated by Manchester City and Chelsea. 2459 02:24:22,320 --> 02:24:25,440 Speaker 11: Here at the top, he has managed to bring Liverpool 2460 02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:29,920 Speaker 11: no small amount of dominance, a vigor and right now here. 2461 02:24:30,040 --> 02:24:33,880 Speaker 11: Even entering into this weekend, Liverpool is on top of 2462 02:24:33,920 --> 02:24:37,640 Speaker 11: the Premier League table and will remain there coming in 2463 02:24:37,920 --> 02:24:42,959 Speaker 11: on Friday, five points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal. 2464 02:24:43,480 --> 02:24:45,240 Speaker 5: Jurgen, however, this past. 2465 02:24:44,920 --> 02:24:48,400 Speaker 11: Week, announced that he would be stepping away from Liverpool 2466 02:24:48,720 --> 02:24:51,280 Speaker 11: at the end of this season. There will be no 2467 02:24:51,440 --> 02:24:54,560 Speaker 11: Alex Ferguson style u turn. He will not come back 2468 02:24:54,600 --> 02:24:57,600 Speaker 11: to the club. He is going to buy his own words, 2469 02:24:57,640 --> 02:25:01,120 Speaker 11: take at least a year away from man If he 2470 02:25:01,200 --> 02:25:03,480 Speaker 11: has no country in mind, he has no club in 2471 02:25:03,560 --> 02:25:06,760 Speaker 11: mind of where he will go next, and if he 2472 02:25:06,800 --> 02:25:09,120 Speaker 11: comes back to England he says it will only be 2473 02:25:09,720 --> 02:25:13,080 Speaker 11: with Liverpool, so he is leaving at least on good terms. 2474 02:25:13,080 --> 02:25:15,600 Speaker 11: In fact, some of his players have known about his 2475 02:25:16,600 --> 02:25:20,280 Speaker 11: place here. His situation since about November was just kind 2476 02:25:20,280 --> 02:25:23,000 Speaker 11: of hard for him to put it into words. A 2477 02:25:23,080 --> 02:25:26,760 Speaker 11: German national, Jurgen Klop has basically cemented himself as the 2478 02:25:26,800 --> 02:25:32,600 Speaker 11: one responsible for the modern day incarnation of Liverpool, managing 2479 02:25:32,640 --> 02:25:35,879 Speaker 11: great players like Mohammed Sala, who is still in my 2480 02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:39,800 Speaker 11: mind one of the greatest players playing in England right now. 2481 02:25:40,440 --> 02:25:43,760 Speaker 11: But we've also mentioned Jurgen Klop's name many times here 2482 02:25:43,800 --> 02:25:47,320 Speaker 11: in the world of soccer, usually in complaints to how 2483 02:25:47,400 --> 02:25:51,199 Speaker 11: crowded the soccer calendar is. Right now, he's without Mohammed 2484 02:25:51,240 --> 02:25:55,440 Speaker 11: Sala and Endo, his Japanese midfielder as they go to 2485 02:25:55,520 --> 02:25:58,400 Speaker 11: the Africa Cup of Nations and the Asia Cup. It's 2486 02:25:58,480 --> 02:26:02,000 Speaker 11: been a tail that there has just been a lot 2487 02:26:02,080 --> 02:26:05,800 Speaker 11: going on in for a UEFA club these days, and 2488 02:26:06,080 --> 02:26:09,520 Speaker 11: Liverpool is no exception, and it has fueled a massive 2489 02:26:09,520 --> 02:26:12,360 Speaker 11: amount of burnout for Jurgen, who wants to take a 2490 02:26:12,440 --> 02:26:15,200 Speaker 11: year away and just reevaluate things. 2491 02:26:15,480 --> 02:26:16,800 Speaker 5: And it is tough. 2492 02:26:16,879 --> 02:26:20,120 Speaker 11: It is tough with everything that is going on, and 2493 02:26:20,200 --> 02:26:23,760 Speaker 11: he's kind of seen himself drained, especially coming off of 2494 02:26:23,840 --> 02:26:27,879 Speaker 11: last year where Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League. Now, 2495 02:26:27,920 --> 02:26:31,240 Speaker 11: in the case of Zabi Hernandez, there's a lot kind 2496 02:26:31,240 --> 02:26:35,640 Speaker 11: of a different pressure going on here, especially at Barcelona. 2497 02:26:36,320 --> 02:26:40,400 Speaker 11: Zavi Hernandez himself has is decided to step away from 2498 02:26:40,400 --> 02:26:43,360 Speaker 11: the club. It came after last Saturday, a five to 2499 02:26:43,400 --> 02:26:46,800 Speaker 11: three defeat to Villa Real when he made the announcement, 2500 02:26:47,640 --> 02:26:52,800 Speaker 11: and under a little bit more of understandable circumstances, Barcelona 2501 02:26:52,840 --> 02:26:56,279 Speaker 11: has really struggled to come back into their dominance age 2502 02:26:57,280 --> 02:27:01,400 Speaker 11: underneath Zabi Hernandez, especially who's only been the manager since 2503 02:27:01,440 --> 02:27:04,879 Speaker 11: twenty twenty one. They've come out of some very dire, 2504 02:27:05,120 --> 02:27:08,480 Speaker 11: very dark times that saw them lose Lionel Messi due 2505 02:27:08,520 --> 02:27:12,840 Speaker 11: to a lot of financial implications of some of the 2506 02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:18,359 Speaker 11: economic material situation they were put into. Zavi Hernandez, however, 2507 02:27:18,480 --> 02:27:22,600 Speaker 11: has kind of felt like he's underperformed a little bit 2508 02:27:22,680 --> 02:27:28,440 Speaker 11: at Barcelona, and to be fair, Barcelona's standards are extremely high. 2509 02:27:28,760 --> 02:27:31,360 Speaker 11: You are in a league where the only person that 2510 02:27:31,440 --> 02:27:35,360 Speaker 11: you are on your level is probably Athletico and most 2511 02:27:35,480 --> 02:27:39,959 Speaker 11: definitely Real Madrid, and with the rivalry with Real Madrid, 2512 02:27:40,280 --> 02:27:43,240 Speaker 11: coming in second place is simply like if the Ohio 2513 02:27:43,320 --> 02:27:45,840 Speaker 11: State decides to come in second place to Michigan. It's 2514 02:27:45,959 --> 02:27:48,880 Speaker 11: not acceptable to the fans who have a lot more 2515 02:27:48,920 --> 02:27:52,840 Speaker 11: control there. It's not acceptable to the standards to which 2516 02:27:52,879 --> 02:27:57,240 Speaker 11: Barcelona has enjoyed for the twenty first century. And this 2517 02:27:57,280 --> 02:28:01,200 Speaker 11: is the key difference between Zavi and It is that 2518 02:28:01,520 --> 02:28:08,600 Speaker 11: Zavi Hernandez's announcement was greeted with acceptance by the Barcelona faithful. 2519 02:28:08,640 --> 02:28:13,600 Speaker 11: It was greeted with this idea of impatience, of just 2520 02:28:13,680 --> 02:28:17,119 Speaker 11: a need to turn the page. And Zavi Hernandez himself 2521 02:28:17,120 --> 02:28:20,359 Speaker 11: has said that he does not enjoy Monday to Friday 2522 02:28:20,440 --> 02:28:24,959 Speaker 11: here with the club at Barcelona. It's a situation where 2523 02:28:24,959 --> 02:28:28,480 Speaker 11: the pressure got to Zavi Hernandez. It is a situation 2524 02:28:28,720 --> 02:28:33,280 Speaker 11: that I think the expectations outstripped what Barcelona is even 2525 02:28:33,360 --> 02:28:37,039 Speaker 11: capable of, and that the club is still expecting matters 2526 02:28:37,080 --> 02:28:40,840 Speaker 11: of the past. But there is a commonality between Barcelona 2527 02:28:41,240 --> 02:28:45,440 Speaker 11: and Liverpool in their both their manager are just citing 2528 02:28:45,480 --> 02:28:47,840 Speaker 11: to leave their contract money on the table and walk 2529 02:28:47,879 --> 02:28:50,320 Speaker 11: away at the end of the year. Is that the 2530 02:28:50,520 --> 02:28:52,880 Speaker 11: being at the top now for one of the top 2531 02:28:52,920 --> 02:28:58,240 Speaker 11: clubs in soccer across the world is an incredibly stressful job, 2532 02:28:58,480 --> 02:29:02,560 Speaker 11: especially now callum for soccer are getting more and more crowded. 2533 02:29:02,600 --> 02:29:05,560 Speaker 11: There are fewer and fewer time off. You're even to 2534 02:29:05,600 --> 02:29:10,439 Speaker 11: step away and reevaluate things. U WAFA continues to add tournaments. 2535 02:29:10,600 --> 02:29:16,200 Speaker 11: FIFA continues to add tournaments. International competitions no longer have 2536 02:29:16,360 --> 02:29:19,200 Speaker 11: breaks for some of these things, like the Africa Cup 2537 02:29:19,240 --> 02:29:22,800 Speaker 11: of Nations. Right now, money is getting bigger and bigger, 2538 02:29:22,879 --> 02:29:25,760 Speaker 11: and with it comes bigger and bigger demands for your 2539 02:29:25,800 --> 02:29:28,680 Speaker 11: club to perform, to perform. 2540 02:29:28,120 --> 02:29:28,760 Speaker 1: And to win. 2541 02:29:29,080 --> 02:29:33,480 Speaker 11: It is a massive amount to juggle everything being a 2542 02:29:33,520 --> 02:29:37,680 Speaker 11: manager now in the modern European soccer landscape, and I 2543 02:29:37,720 --> 02:29:40,320 Speaker 11: think sometimes we kind of say, yeah, that's kind of 2544 02:29:40,360 --> 02:29:42,640 Speaker 11: the job, and it is. But at the same time, 2545 02:29:42,720 --> 02:29:46,320 Speaker 11: I think it is also humanly relatable. No matter what 2546 02:29:46,440 --> 02:29:50,240 Speaker 11: you do, burnout is there to catch you. You can 2547 02:29:50,280 --> 02:29:53,480 Speaker 11: be emotionally drained, you can be mentally drained no matter 2548 02:29:53,520 --> 02:29:56,800 Speaker 11: what you do, and sometimes in our culture, which is 2549 02:29:56,879 --> 02:30:00,000 Speaker 11: so focused on grind, so focused on going to world 2550 02:30:00,280 --> 02:30:02,920 Speaker 11: every day at the expense of everything else, there comes 2551 02:30:02,959 --> 02:30:05,680 Speaker 11: a point where you just can't deal with it at 2552 02:30:05,800 --> 02:30:08,680 Speaker 11: after a certain point, be it the criticism that Zavi 2553 02:30:08,760 --> 02:30:12,840 Speaker 11: Hernandez took or simply the flame out of Jurgen Klop. 2554 02:30:12,920 --> 02:30:16,360 Speaker 11: It is a human toll, It is an emotional toll, 2555 02:30:16,400 --> 02:30:18,520 Speaker 11: and it's one I think we should all be well 2556 02:30:18,520 --> 02:30:21,600 Speaker 11: aware of. And it doesn't matter if you're someone who's 2557 02:30:21,640 --> 02:30:24,160 Speaker 11: working a nine to five or a manager at the 2558 02:30:24,200 --> 02:30:28,920 Speaker 11: top of the world. These guys run incredibly stressful careers 2559 02:30:29,320 --> 02:30:32,199 Speaker 11: and they have decided, for one reason another to walk away. 2560 02:30:32,240 --> 02:30:35,200 Speaker 11: And you wonder who else out there might be trying 2561 02:30:35,240 --> 02:30:38,520 Speaker 11: to find some relief for themselves. That's it for the 2562 02:30:38,520 --> 02:30:40,800 Speaker 11: world of soccer this week, Bernie will see you soon. 2563 02:30:41,400 --> 02:30:44,680 Speaker 2: There you have it chock full and months away from 2564 02:30:45,240 --> 02:30:48,520 Speaker 2: soccer being back on the world stage.

He's absolutely correct. I brain farted 2586 02:32:04,160 --> 02:32:06,720 Speaker 2: that turned into a feature Link movie in nineteen sixty 2587 02:32:06,760 --> 02:32:09,879 Speaker 2: eight featuring Walter Matthew and Jack Lemon. But for me, 2588 02:32:09,920 --> 02:32:14,360 Speaker 2: the most familiar was the Odd Couple TV show, which 2589 02:32:14,560 --> 02:32:17,720 Speaker 2: was Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. It it had over one 2590 02:32:17,800 --> 02:32:21,440 Speaker 2: hundred episodes and it holds up. It's just just classic, 2591 02:32:21,600 --> 02:32:26,360 Speaker 2: just classic comedy TV. So good for Mark pointing that out. 2592 02:32:26,400 --> 02:32:29,720 Speaker 2: We want to be accurate and to that end, Before 2593 02:32:29,760 --> 02:32:31,560 Speaker 2: I go any further, I want to thank my broadcast 2594 02:32:31,560 --> 02:32:34,480 Speaker 2: team in Los Angeles, been with me since eleven PM 2595 02:32:34,560 --> 02:32:39,760 Speaker 2: on Saturday night. Mark Ramsey, art technical producer, Kevin Wire 2596 02:32:39,760 --> 02:32:41,920 Speaker 2: at the chef on all the updates, and Ian Roddy, 2597 02:32:42,720 --> 02:32:47,039 Speaker 2: our executive producer, and he'll have the podcast here up 2598 02:32:47,080 --> 02:32:49,560 Speaker 2: in an hour or so and you can listen to 2599 02:32:49,600 --> 02:32:55,320 Speaker 2: the show. So I talked about life imitating art, and 2600 02:32:55,400 --> 02:32:58,440 Speaker 2: as Mark remembered, well, you could probably YouTube this scene 2601 02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:02,360 Speaker 2: in the movie Lost in America with Albert Brooks. Him 2602 02:33:02,400 --> 02:33:05,360 Speaker 2: and his wife decide they're going to flout the system. 2603 02:33:05,400 --> 02:33:08,760 Speaker 2: He's upset that he got passed over for promotion or 2604 02:33:08,760 --> 02:33:11,040 Speaker 2: something as advertising jobs. He said, screw it, we got 2605 02:33:11,080 --> 02:33:14,680 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand next egg, Let's drive across America and 2606 02:33:14,720 --> 02:33:19,000 Speaker 2: live our life. Let's live the American dream. And they 2607 02:33:19,160 --> 02:33:21,320 Speaker 2: stop in Las Vegas and lose all one hundred thousand 2608 02:33:21,360 --> 02:33:25,440 Speaker 2: dollars and they're a little for clempt And so the 2609 02:33:25,480 --> 02:33:28,280 Speaker 2: famous scene is Albert Brooks pleading with Gary Marshall, the 2610 02:33:28,320 --> 02:33:31,320 Speaker 2: casino manager, why don't you just give us our money back. 2611 02:33:31,840 --> 02:33:36,000 Speaker 2: It would be a phenomenal advertising campaign. There'd be billboards 2612 02:33:36,040 --> 02:33:39,840 Speaker 2: and it's just such expert comedy. And I think Gary 2613 02:33:39,920 --> 02:33:43,120 Speaker 2: Marshall offers him like a free buffet or something like that, 2614 02:33:43,280 --> 02:33:46,800 Speaker 2: or free room. But don't take my word for YouTube it. 2615 02:33:46,800 --> 02:33:50,600 Speaker 2: It's that good. Albert Brooks have always believed is an 2616 02:33:50,600 --> 02:33:55,920 Speaker 2: incredibly underrated actor and comedian. So life does imitate art. 2617 02:33:55,959 --> 02:33:58,800 Speaker 2: You may have heard a couple months ago, a mid 2618 02:33:58,920 --> 02:34:02,520 Speaker 2: level finance man for the Jacksonville Jaguars. His name was 2619 02:34:02,560 --> 02:34:06,240 Speaker 2: Amat Patel. He pleaded guilty to stealing twenty two million 2620 02:34:06,320 --> 02:34:09,760 Speaker 2: dollars through a virtual credit card system that the Jacksonville 2621 02:34:09,800 --> 02:34:12,760 Speaker 2: Jaguars used for expenses. Kind of reminds me of office space 2622 02:34:16,120 --> 02:34:17,920 Speaker 2: were you go to that federal prison. I can't finish 2623 02:34:17,959 --> 02:34:19,320 Speaker 2: the rest of the sentence unless I want to get 2624 02:34:19,360 --> 02:34:21,920 Speaker 2: my show canceled. But that was that was a great 2625 02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:26,440 Speaker 2: movie as well. Man with the TPS reports, but I digress. 2626 02:34:27,520 --> 02:34:32,440 Speaker 2: So sources with knowledge of the whole situation, apparently we 2627 02:34:32,760 --> 02:34:36,240 Speaker 2: come to find out that Patel took that money and well, 2628 02:34:36,280 --> 02:34:39,000 Speaker 2: he gambled it much like Albert Books and his wife 2629 02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:43,240 Speaker 2: did and lost in America. And he only lost about 2630 02:34:43,280 --> 02:34:46,080 Speaker 2: twenty million dollars of the funds on wait for it, 2631 02:34:46,879 --> 02:34:51,640 Speaker 2: daily fantasy sports bets at fan Duel, which had to 2632 02:34:51,720 --> 02:34:54,520 Speaker 2: sign him a VIP host, and I guess he lost 2633 02:34:54,520 --> 02:34:57,000 Speaker 2: a bottom million with DraftKings. Wanted to spread the wealth. 2634 02:34:57,720 --> 02:35:00,360 Speaker 2: So what he did he transferred the money direct from 2635 02:35:01,360 --> 02:35:04,680 Speaker 2: the team account right to FanDuel. And again the sources 2636 02:35:05,200 --> 02:35:11,720 Speaker 2: familiar with the situation said that there are allegedly discussions 2637 02:35:11,760 --> 02:35:15,119 Speaker 2: going on among FanDuel and the Jaguars in the NFL 2638 02:35:15,600 --> 02:35:20,760 Speaker 2: on some sort of settlement, But I don't know that 2639 02:35:20,879 --> 02:35:26,920 Speaker 2: FanDuel sees it that way. It's like, uh, yeah, I'm 2640 02:35:26,920 --> 02:35:28,720 Speaker 2: gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there, 2641 02:35:28,800 --> 02:35:31,600 Speaker 2: Bill Lumberg, get on those TPS reports the way they 2642 02:35:31,680 --> 02:35:34,400 Speaker 2: see it. Fan Duel got the money fair and clear. 2643 02:35:34,879 --> 02:35:37,080 Speaker 2: It's not their problem. We have to forfeit it back 2644 02:35:37,080 --> 02:35:39,200 Speaker 2: to you. You want your money, not up in here, 2645 02:35:40,400 --> 02:35:44,840 Speaker 2: not up in here. FanDuel has declined to comment, as 2646 02:35:44,879 --> 02:35:47,640 Speaker 2: well as the NFL and I well, the Jaguars. It's 2647 02:35:47,680 --> 02:35:49,920 Speaker 2: my understanding they haven't responded to a lot of requests 2648 02:35:49,920 --> 02:35:54,360 Speaker 2: for common either. This Patel character apparently siphoned the money 2649 02:35:54,360 --> 02:35:57,720 Speaker 2: over three and a half years, according to federal court documents, 2650 02:35:57,720 --> 02:36:00,720 Speaker 2: and again in December, he he pleaded guilty to fraud 2651 02:36:00,800 --> 02:36:03,480 Speaker 2: chargers in federal court Donald Jacksonville, Florida. He faces up 2652 02:36:03,520 --> 02:36:05,880 Speaker 2: to thirty years in prison and a five hundred thousand 2653 02:36:05,920 --> 02:36:09,000 Speaker 2: dollars fine. He won't be sentenced until March twelfth. You 2654 02:36:09,040 --> 02:36:12,480 Speaker 2: can be sure we'll be following that. It's almost borderline 2655 02:36:12,520 --> 02:36:17,840 Speaker 2: of brand new fool story. But Apparently, FanDuel alerted the 2656 02:36:17,920 --> 02:36:20,600 Speaker 2: NFL to Pateel's betting in January twenty twenty three, after 2657 02:36:20,640 --> 02:36:24,040 Speaker 2: replaced all kinds of sports bets traditional in Tennessee and 2658 02:36:24,080 --> 02:36:27,600 Speaker 2: the amounts and wagers. They triggered the investigation. We don't 2659 02:36:27,640 --> 02:36:30,560 Speaker 2: know exactly why, but there are you know, we know 2660 02:36:30,600 --> 02:36:33,000 Speaker 2: that gambling sets have a duty to perform any under 2661 02:36:33,560 --> 02:36:37,840 Speaker 2: anti money laundering, know your client procedures, et cetera, et cetera. 2662 02:36:38,280 --> 02:36:42,160 Speaker 2: But there's only one quote that stands out that one 2663 02:36:42,240 --> 02:36:46,760 Speaker 2: veteran Daily Fantasy player told ESPN and the condition that anonymity, 2664 02:36:47,760 --> 02:36:51,320 Speaker 2: that they believe that Patel, who went by the name 2665 02:36:51,560 --> 02:36:55,119 Speaker 2: the handle parlay Picker, was quote the biggest loser ever 2666 02:36:55,200 --> 02:37:00,199 Speaker 2: on FanDuel. You think lost twenty billion dollars legendarily bad? 2667 02:37:00,440 --> 02:37:05,080 Speaker 2: You think you lost twenty million dollars? What he just got? Unlucky? 2668 02:37:05,120 --> 02:37:08,520 Speaker 2: Couple of bad calls by the refs. But again they've 2669 02:37:08,560 --> 02:37:10,240 Speaker 2: asked fan Duel to give back the money. Into the 2670 02:37:10,280 --> 02:37:12,560 Speaker 2: best of our knowledge, they're saying, not up in here, 2671 02:37:13,400 --> 02:37:15,680 Speaker 2: not up in here. Maybe they can get together and 2672 02:37:15,680 --> 02:37:18,800 Speaker 2: watch the movie Lost in America and pop some popcorn 2673 02:37:18,879 --> 02:37:20,640 Speaker 2: and get in a good mood. It's gonna do it 2674 02:37:20,640 --> 02:37:22,520 Speaker 2: for the Bernie Frawdles Show. See you next Friday Night 2675 02:37:22,560 --> 02:37:24,600 Speaker 2: at eleven pm. In the meantime, keep it locked right 2676 02:37:24,640 --> 02:37:27,959 Speaker 2: here up next the great Andy Furman, Fox Sports Radio
