Speaker 2: Right now?

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: Seahawks forty nine ers, followed by Bears Rams. Last place

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: in that's the least likely to be a blowout would

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: be Broncos Bills. Okay, this hour we're putting up if

22

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: game of the weekend that'll be coming up, and who

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: had the best weekend sports? He's Christopher mad Dog Russo

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: you can listen to him on Serious XM Channel eighty two.

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: You also see him usually on Wednesdays on First Take

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: with Steven A. Smith. Let me start with the Dodgers Dog.

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: Good morning, Dan, good morning, Good morning Dog. Dodgers decide

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: they need another big ticket item here Kyle Tucker going

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: there to the Dodgers. Your reaction is, well.

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 4: It's terrible for baseball. I'll start there. I mean, how

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: many guys you're going to have them signed? Diaz? And

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: I'm not saying for the Dodgers's it makes some sense.

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: They probably needed an outfielder. They had some issues as

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: a closer last year, so there comes to Daz. But

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: this is this is ridiculous. Their payroll last year with

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: insurance was over five hundred million, and now they add

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: two guys in one's making what eighty million or seventy

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: million and Diaz and he's making sixty million and an

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: average salary in Ducker. I mean, the Dodgers theoretically aren't

42
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: doing anything wrong. They're playing by the rules, but the

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: rules have to change. I mean, this is getting to

44
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 4: be a joke. I mean and I this is going

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 4: to in a lot of ways. You can make an

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 4: argument this helps Manford with the lockout discussions and the

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: contract with the CBA for next year, which obviously concludes

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: I think on December first, it's it's right after the season,

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: and this is now going to be a major sticking

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: point these owners. Now, how am I supposed to compete

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 4: when the Dodgers And again the Dodgers don't do anything wrong,

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: but the rules stick. And you know they gave Otany

53
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: all that money, but it's all deferred. So he's making

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 4: basically ten million dollars a year, so they can defer it,

55
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 4: which gives them the best player in baseball at an

56
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 4: incredibly low price, which means they can do anything they want.

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: And everybody else did the same exact thing. Play in

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: LA winning team, great organization, good Weather have a chance

59
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 4: to be in the World Series every year. Who wouldn't

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 4: defer all the money? The problem is it doesn't work

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: as far as the basis of the sport is concerned.

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 4: Because half these teams can't compete. Why would anybody think

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: they can win the NL West next year with the Dodgers,

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: And who cares what the Dodgers do between April first

65
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 4: and October first. You know, once the postseason starts, at

66
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: the team to beat. Last year, they had a bad

67
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 4: year for them. They won ninety something games, were they

68
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: won ninety five games, and they still won the World Series.

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: So it makes the regular season obsolete for LA because

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 4: they're gonna make the playoffs. Then they have the best players.

71
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: So once they get into the playoffs, despite the impredictability

72
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: of baseball postseason, they got a hell of a chance

73
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: to win. You can't tell me it's good for the

74
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: sport that the Dodgers, who have won two championships, been

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, won fifteen sixteen years in a row

76
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: in the last five years, gave Feenland twenty five million

77
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: to Yamamoto, gave Sasaki two hundred million dollars, gave Otani

78
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: a fortune, and now they give Tucker a fortune and

79
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: Diaz a fortune. That's not good for the sport, and

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: the overall riding theme of its LA bad for baseball.

81
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: If you include deferred payments, the guaranteed salary for the

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: Dodgers this upcoming season is two point one billion dollars.

83
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: Wow, that's amazing. Good job, Dan, I don't even know that.

84
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: I mean, how are the Pirates supposed to compete with that?

85
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: I mean, how are the Knales and the Guardians and

86
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 4: the Reds and the White Sox. I mean, how are

87
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: they supposed to compete with that?

88
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: Baseball Once then well you got Tampa Bay.

89
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 4: How they solved the problem, How they solved the problems

90
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: gonna be hard.

91
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay seventy million, yeah, Miami seventy six million, the

92
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: White Sox one hundred and two, Saint Louis one o two,

93
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 2: Washington won twenty, Cleveland one thirty one, Minnesota one hundred

94
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: and fifty four million. So these include deferred payments, guaranteed salaries.

95
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: But I don't know how you could get everybody on

96
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: the same page with this. Chris Players Association's gonna fight it.

97
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: They want these contracts. I mean, I don't know if

98
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: these owners, I don't know what you can do.

99
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 4: I agree with you. I remember, let's also say this,

100
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: the guy who runs the Players Association of Scott Boris.

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 4: It's not Tony Clark, it's not Bruce Weber. Weber might negotiate.

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: It's it's Boris. They don't doing anything without Boris's approval.

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: And Boris is an unbelievable good agent who last time

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: I had this major fight, everybody on the executive board

105
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 4: were Boris clients. I think they had five or six

106
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 4: and they're all Boris got. You got Matt Shirz, who

107
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: on the phone called Boris to see if he agrees

108
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: with what they're doing in March. The whole thing is that, listen, baseball.

109
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: This is what hill kills baseball. It's great in the

110
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: postseason because you never know, the best team doesn't always win,

111
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 4: But as far as the regular season is concerned, it's

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 4: gotten to a situation where it becomes obsolete because you know,

113
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: certain teams are just going to be in the postseason

114
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: barring its catastrophe. One of those teams now you know

115
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: the Yankees, and you know teams like that, and one

116
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: of those teams definitely now is LA And it's bad

117
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 4: for the sport. You know, a lot of fans are

118
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: gonna be annoyed, and I don't know what you do

119
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: to solve it. You're right, you know, Manford's done a

120
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: great job because he's been a Commission that has not

121
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 4: lost a regular season game since he was involved in

122
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: negotiating these contracts in the mid nineties, So he has

123
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: that on his legacy. So you know he's not gonna

124
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: want to lose games next year. But he's also in

125
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 4: a situation where he's got to do something. So we

126
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: shall see.

127
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because with the NFL you can go from worse

128
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: to first. We've seen those success stories.

129
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: I do that in foot we can't do that here.

130
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the NBA, we've seen success stories.

131
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 4: They had a would pick look at the Spurs.

132
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 2: Different champion what the last five or six years. So

133
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: you go into a season you give the NFL gives

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: you hope, Absolutely it gives you. Carolina Panthers fans at

135
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year, you're probably thinking, Okay, we're

136
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: in a bad division. Can can we win this division?

137
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: And the answer is yes. You look at the Bears.

138
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: You know where they were where they are. I mean

139
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: you could have the rise and the fall Detroit up

140
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: then down. So to say to these teams, you're gonna

141
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to at least compete for a playoff berth,

142
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what you want as a fan you

143
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: want hope. Now there's certain franchises where you go, no,

144
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: we expect to be in in the NBA. You want hope,

145
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: you want to go, Hey, I believe in the team,

146
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: and I'll continue to go out and support it. You know,

147
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: if you're a Pittsburgh Pirate fan, you go out one day,

148
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: you go to see your pitcher. That's probably it. It's

149
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: a great ballpark, but you know how many times are

150
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: you going to see those games? But if you're playing

151
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: in big games, now, all of a sudden, you're buying it.

152
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: You know, the Reds make the playoffs. Now you're going

153
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: out to watch a season, not just a couple of games.

154
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: Watch the Dodgers get schoobl too.

155
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: I brought that up this morning. I go, that's who

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: I thought that they were going to be getting somehow, Someway.

157
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: And he's going to leave and you know this arbitration

158
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: issue with him. Yeah, it's a major problem. I mean,

159
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: last year the Bears going to make the playoffs. This

160
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: year they're in a divisional round. You made a good

161
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: point of our Carolina. They won the division and they

162
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 4: get a home playoff game. You know, Denver last year

163
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: barely made the playoffs. Now the under the one seed.

164
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: Seattle last year didn't make the playoffs. Now to the

165
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 4: one seed, you have so many advantages from that standpoint.

166
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: Was it normally six in and six out in the NFL,

167
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: six teams every year, and you know that they you know,

168
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: have a short schedule. Now you need the quarterback. Without

169
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: the quarterback, you're not gonna win. But you have ways

170
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: to get the quarterback. You can draft one. You can

171
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: be bad at the right time. You know, Perty was

172
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: the last pick in the draft they found in right,

173
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you can get the Qbam Josh Allen wasn't

174
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: the first pick. You can get Nicks wasn't the first pick.

175
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: You can get the quarterback by Little Lucky somehow, a

176
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 4: free agent, a trade well you know Donald, I mean

177
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: he was a trade Seattle they won. You can get

178
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 4: the quarterback. In the NBA. You got to get the

179
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: great player. You know Wen Byama, you know David Robinson, Duncan.

180
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 4: You got to get that great player, the transformational player.

181
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 4: There are ways to do it, but you got to

182
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: get that player. But it doesn't have anything to do

183
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 4: with money. I mean, you know, it might have something

184
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: to do with the market, but Sacramento was good for

185
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: a long time. The Spurs won some championships, so the

186
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: small market can win. And in baseball, it's really about

187
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 4: three or four teams and that's the and that's the unfortunately,

188
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: thinking about baseball, it's got a great playoff system. The

189
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: playoff system last three weeks. It's done. It's not a

190
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 4: slugout four month process where they play best of sevens

191
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 4: where you know who's gonna win beforehand like the NBA

192
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 4: might have. You know, it's the games are unpredictable because

193
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: there's no guarantee the best team's gonna win. So that

194
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: makes it fun too. You know, the Great Baseball Game,

195
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 4: as you know, Dan, you're a great baseball fan, Game

196
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: seven Toronto and Dodgers. How great a game was that?

197
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 4: You know, it gives you incredible trauma. But the problem

198
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 4: is is baseball has become over the long period of

199
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 4: time too much dominated by the big market teams. And

200
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 4: I don't know how you solve that problem. I really don't.

201
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: Without a strike, Without a.

202
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: Strike, he's Christopher mad Dog Russo, host of mad Dog

203
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: Unleashed on Serious XM Channel eedy two and also you'll

204
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: see him on First Take what's holding up John Harbaugh

205
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: and the Giants.

206
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 4: Hasn't officially signed it yet. Yeah, I don't know. I

207
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: don't have the answer for you on that. Maybe the

208
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: money for the assistant coaches. This is a move the

209
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: Giants had to make. This is gonna happen. I mean,

210
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: you know, I don't think it's gonna fall apart. Harbor

211
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 4: and Mara, I guess really had a great sit down.

212
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 4: They had a great dinner a couple of nights ago.

213
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: And the Giants need him. I mean, you know they've

214
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: gone the assistant route, whether it's you know, Dable Judge,

215
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 4: you know Ben McAdoo. It just it's been a disaster.

216
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: They have to bring an established coach. Harball is a

217
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: good coach. I mean, he's not a great coach yet

218
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: got a chance to be, you know, hall of fame.

219
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say Harball is a Hall of Fame coach

220
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 4: by my standards, I wouldn't say he's a Hall of

221
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 4: Fame coach.

222
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: Is Tomlin?

223
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: You know he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame.

224
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 4: They're gonna make it. But by you and I standards,

225
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: do I consider Tomlin right this second a Hall of

226
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 4: Fame coach. I don't now that's me. Now, he's gonna

227
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: make it because they vote, you know, they vote six

228
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: candidates a year, and you know they Coriel made it.

229
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 4: He never won a championship, Cowers, anyone won Super Bowl.

230
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 4: So he's he's gonna get in. But obviously Marve Levey's

231
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 4: made it. He's got one hundred and forty three wins

232
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 4: and four Super Bowl losses. You know, George Allen's in.

233
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 4: He never want to think so they're gonna make it.

234
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: But do I consider Tom and her Harbor myself, as

235
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: a football fan a great all time coach.

236
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: No, I don't know.

237
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 4: When I think of the great all time coaches, I'm

238
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 4: thinking Paul Brown, Belichick, Lombardi, Gibbs, Welsh, A Walsh, Parcels.

239
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: You know, I'm thinking along those lines of you know,

240
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: that establishment group, Shue Litt, Landry, those kind of guys.

241
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 4: And I don't think that myself, that Tom and her

242
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 4: Harbor are on that level myself. But I'm a small

243
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: room guy. You're a small room guy. A lot of

244
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 4: people put all these coaches in. I mean, Bill Coward

245
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 4: to me is not a Hall of Fame coach, very

246
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 4: good coach. So I consider him a Hall of Fame coach.

247
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: Two Super Bowls, he's one and one Hall of Fame where, Wow,

248
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 4: he's a great coach. I don't consider him that, but

249
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 4: he's in the Hall of Fame. So they put a

250
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 4: lot of guys in who I wouldn't put in, and

251
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 4: Toman and Harbor are sort of on a very good

252
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 4: category right now, and Harbor and Toman will have a

253
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 4: chance to get to that next level. I mean, you

254
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: think Dungee's a great coach, very good? Is he great

255
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: in your eyes? Then is Tony Dungee a Hall of

256
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 4: Fame coach?

257
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: Well, he was also a great defensive coordinator as well.

258
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: That Tampa team that he had that Gruden came in one,

259
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: you know, Tony Tony was helped in building that.

260
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's an interesting case. Do you think

261
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 4: you think George Allen's Hall of Fame coach?

262
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: No, he's in the Hall of Fame.

263
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 4: I know you think Pete Carroll's going to make the

264
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame?

265
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: Yes you do? Yeah?

266
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, I'm not sure, especially now.

267
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: It is the Pro Football Hall of Fame, so they're

268
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: not factoring in USC.

269
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 3: Yeah.

270
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: I don't forget us, but I'm guessing.

271
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: See.

272
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: I think the thing is is you're trying to compare

273
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: today's coaches with yesteryear, and that's it's hard to do

274
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: that and come up with a Hall of Fame coach.

275
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: Because these guys were established, they didn't have to worry,

276
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: you know, about all these other things that today's coach

277
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: has to deal with getting to two Super Bowls? Like

278
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: Sean Payton. Is Sean Payton a Hall of Fame coach?

279
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 4: He's been in one Super Bowl?

280
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: Not yet, he's probably going in. Is Mike McCarthy hall

281
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: of Fame coach? No, he's got the same resume as

282
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: Sean Payton.

283
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't put Peyton in.

284
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 5: No.

285
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 4: Okay again, I'm a small room guy. I want greatness.

286
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 4: I don't do. I think Sean Payton's a great coach.

287
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 4: He's very good. Great Parcels is a great coach. Is

288
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 4: a great coach. Three super Bowls, three different quarterbacks, Phil Walsh,

289
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: that's a great football coach.

290
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: Brown.

291
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 4: Those are the sort of guys who.

292
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: Has more pressure, either player or team. The most pressure

293
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: this weekend in the NFL.

294
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: Not San Francisco, Seattle, Buffalo so banged up. And I

295
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 4: heard your thought with Josh Allen. He's great anyway, I

296
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: probably you know, it's weird. I might say Stafford with

297
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: the Rams. You can't say there's any pressure on Houston.

298
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 4: You can't say there's any pressure on the Patriots. The

299
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: Bears are a young team. You can't use them San Francisco.

300
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: Somehow we're in this spot Seattle. You know, maybe Sam Donald,

301
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: maybe Donald because he needs to go out there and

302
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 4: you know, sort of undue last year when he didn't

303
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: play very well in the postseason. I don't look at

304
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: Denver young quarterback Alan. I think he's accomplished plenty anyway.

305
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: I know people bring Alan up because there's normal homes

306
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 4: and Burrow and Jackson. I still think Aland's got plenty

307
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 4: of time to win a Super Bowl. I think this

308
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 4: is an important You know, the Rams had a great

309
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: year and then they kind of stalled. They were not

310
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: great last weekend. I think there's some pressure on End

311
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 4: and I think there's a lot. I think there's some

312
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 4: pressure on Sam Donald. You know, and in a weird way,

313
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: you brought up an interesting question because I don't know

314
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: if there's a clear cut well, he's got to win,

315
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if they You know, if

316
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 4: Lemore was in this spot, i'd say three and five

317
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 4: in the postseason, maybe i'd put him in that category.

318
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if I have anybody right now in

319
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 4: the last eight in that category where they look that

320
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: they have to win. I don't know if I have

321
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 4: that right now.

322
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: Good to chat with you. Good at best, Glad you're

323
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: feeling better.

324

Speaker 1: Thank you, Pat.

325
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: You had a rough week. See hickups, kickups, never get them,

326
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: never get them.

327
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: Wait, you had the hiccups.

328
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 4: Which led to some issues and I was in bad

329
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: shake for about fifteen hours. If I had a missed

330
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: first take after a division around, you know it was.

331
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,560

348
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: Talking some baseball with Christopher mad Dog Russo and he

349
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: worked for MLB Network. He had a show on for

350
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: probably a decade, High Heat. And you know, we look

351
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: at the Dodgers. Dodgers didn't do anything wrong. In fact,

352
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: they're doing everything right. They're reinvesting, they spend the money.

353
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: Did they find a loophole? Did they get Otani to

354
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: take deferred money? Yes, But keep in mind they're two

355
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: outs away from losing the World Series last year. We

356
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: make it seem like, oh my god, foregone conclusion. They're

357
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: going to win the World Series. They're two outs away

358
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: from losing the World Series. If the Dodgers lost the

359
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: World Series and they signed Kyle Tucker, how would people react?

360
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: Would they be reacting the way they're reacting now and

361
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: that's this is the end of the world as we

362
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: know it. They'd be like, yeah, well they lost the

363
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: World Series. They went out and spent money. Twenty of

364
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: thirty Major League Baseball teams reinvest less than half of

365
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: their revenue into player salaries. So that is a bigger

366
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: problem to me. Twenty out of thirty reinvest less than

367
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the revenue into player salaries. Stat of

368
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 2: the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official

369
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. That is somebody

370
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: running a successful business. That's all it is. Now. Can

371
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: they catch lightning in a bottle? Maybe make the playoffs? Yes,

372
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: But for the most part baseball is top heavy and

373
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to change because the Players

374
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: Association will fight this. They're not going to say, oh,

375
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: let's bring down salaries. Now. The owners, if they get

376
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: together and say, how do we fix this? How does

377
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: the commissioner help in fixing this? I don't know if

378
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: you can. The Dodgers are going to continue to spend,

379
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 2: they reinvest, and you look at the revenue that they're making.

380
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: You know, when I looked at what Otani was going

381
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: to make I remember saying he could get six hundred

382
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 2: million dollars, and we had a couple of baseball amazon

383
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 2: there say no, there's no way. I said, yes, he's

384
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: probably getting six hundred million dollars. Now all of a sudden,

385
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 2: we don't even blink. If somebody gets five hundred million,

386
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, it's going right. But Otani was global.

387
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: That's the difference. Soto is not global. Kyle Tucker's not global.

388
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean, there's only a couple of players that move

389
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: the needle, Aaron Judge global, but there's very few of them.

390
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: And the Dodgers got the most unique athlete in sports,

391
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: and he plays, you know, around the world. People who

392
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: aren't even interested are that interested in baseball? Not even

393
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: Dodger fans tuned into watch him play in the World Series.

394
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 2: They watched him. They wanted to see him hit, they

395
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: wanted to see him pitch. The fascination is similar to

396
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods. You might not have been a golf fan,

397
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 2: but you were going to tune in to try to

398
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: understand what is the hype all about. You may not

399
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: understand golf, but you understood watching somebody do something that

400
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: we had never seen before.

401
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 6: Yes, mar and I go back to the term I

402
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 6: created wife famous, where my wife has no idea about

403
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 6: major League Baseball at all besides maybe Derek Jeter in

404
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety six. But she knows the name Shoel Tani

405
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 6: and she knows that he pitches Andie hits.

406
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: She was like, do people normally do that?

407
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 6: That's what she asked me during the World Series when

408
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 6: he had that unbelievable game where he hit three home

409
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 6: runs he struck out ten. Yes, like do people don't

410
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 6: normally do this? I was like, one person might do this,

411
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 6: but they might not do both.

412
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta look at Pittsburgh and you know, Pittsburgh

413
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 2: has to look at this and go Paul Skemes his

414
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: going to be here for how long? Two years? And

415
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate that you know, La de la Cruz, wonderful

416
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: player with the Reds. Is he going to be there? No,

417
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: it's just supply and demand. How much can we pay you?

418
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: And that team's going to pay you more. You know,

419
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: Toronto's spending a lot of money and once again they

420
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: were two outs away from winning the World Series. So

421
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 2: baseball it's not going to be fixed. But they're in

422
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 2: a seven game series. Say if baseball was a one

423
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: game playoff in each series, that's when you would get

424
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: the anybody can win this if it was March Madness,

425
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: like instead of seven games. Over seven games, the best

426
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: team usually wins. But we went to seven games with

427
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and the Blue Jays.

428
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, but like March Madness, you want to see

429
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 6: Cinderella's only up to a certain point. Like I want

430
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 6: to see the Dodgers and the Yankees no offense. I'm

431
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 6: really not trying to see the Royals in the Diamondbacks

432
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 6: go at it in the Fall Classic and most people aren't.

433
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if I go back to that Kansas City

434
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: Royal team with Brett Saberhagen and George Brett, we did

435
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: want to see them. They were great. I mean, those

436
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: are They had Hall of famers on that team. That

437
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 2: was a great team. Now they couldn't keep that team

438
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: together now. But there are times when I love Cinderella

439
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: stories only if Cinderella wins. Like I hate when Cinderella

440
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: goes and they kind of disrupt everything and then all

441
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you go, all right, Lobb City only

442
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 2: got to a certain point here or Northern Iowa like

443
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: all of these, you know, teams that come out of

444
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: George Mason, come out of nowhere in March madness. Butler,

445
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: I want to see you take it all the way.

446
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: But you're right, and I say this, every March madness,

447
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: what happens. We want to see surprises, We want madness

448
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: until we want to get the real champion here. We

449
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: want we want the blue bloods to play for a

450
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 2: national championship here. You know, you can't have these little

451
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 2: schools get in here. They're going to ruin everything.

452
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, but when you were talking about the Royals,

453
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 6: that was the eighties where you had big time stars

454
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 6: that you could name. But in twenty fifteen when the

455
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 6: Royals won, I couldn't name anybody off of that team.

456
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 6: So maybe that's a different generation where you had talents.

457
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: The baseball meant more back then. That's all. It's just

458
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: everybody's kind of looking for, you know, the scraps that

459
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: the NFL leaves behind. Everybody's kind of navigating of how

460
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: do we get where's our piece here? How do we

461
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: do this? You know, college football expanding, March madness expanding.

462
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: Everybody's kind of saying, all right, what do we do

463
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 2: with our product that we can still have an impact here.

464
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: College football playoffs ratings were pretty good with a lot

465
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: of the bowl games. I don't know about, you know,

466
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: the previous two games, certainly the Indiana blowout. There. Ratings

467
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: will probably be good for the national title game. And

468
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: keep in mind, Indiana was a Cinderella story three years ago,

469
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: two years ago, and here they are now. We expect

470
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: them to win the championship. But you know, sports is

471
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 2: ever evolving. Sports that were really popular and then all

472
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you know, boxing and horse racing. Man,

473
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: those are the great sports. Nobody cares now it didn't

474
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: you know, you got your window and then you know,

475
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: we move on. But I think with baseball, I hope

476
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: that they're able, and I think this commissioner has done

477
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: a good job. But I don't know if you can

478
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: solve this by saying, let's put a salary cap on this.

479
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 2: I want to make sure these other teams, franchisees, owners

480
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: spend the money they don't spend the Dodgers spend. They

481
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: should be rewarded for spending. There should be a minimum

482
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: that you have to pay. Some of these owners just

483
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: say that's all profit. Man. I'm not sharing it. Brian

484
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: in Knoxville, Hey Brian, what's on your mind?

485
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 5: First time caller, longtime listener five ten, two fifty in

486
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 5: reference to this In reference to the the deferments, why

487
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 5: can't there be a cap on these defirmers keep this

488
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 5: more competitive? I'm not sure I agree with your take

489
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 5: on it. If they take in five hundred million dollars

490
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 5: that they should spend three hundred and fifty of it.

491
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 5: I mean, like you said, they're businessman, and I'll hang

492
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: up and listen.

493
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it depends on what product you want

494
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: on the field, that's all.

495
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 7: I mean.

496
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 2: It's your team, your stadium, your fan base. If you

497
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: don't care, I mean, then why the fans care. There's

498
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: certain franchises that care, and they have the money to spend.

499
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: I want the teams that don't spend money to maybe

500
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: spend money to have a better product on the field

501
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: or sell the team. P in Florida, Ip, what's on

502
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: your mind? Hey, P Man, I don't know what happened

503
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: to Pee? What's the uh? Our fly is open? Let's

504
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 2: go pee? That was Austin p when they had Fly Williams. Yeah,

505
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: leading scorer in the country, our fly is open. Let's

506
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 2: go pee great rally and crime uh seatan, would you

507
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: update the poll results from the first thirty minutes of

508
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: this second hour?

509
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 3: Sure will, And you know this is actually interesting. We

510
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: have up there first hour, we did the game most

511
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: likely to be a blowout, the game that was most

512
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: likely was Seahawks forty nine ers, the game that was

513
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 3: least likely was Broncos Bills, and then we put up

514
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: there if you could only watch one this weekend. Bears

515
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: and Rams is in the lead with that, and so

516
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: Broncos Bills is also tied with that.

517
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: Okay, So I.

518
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: Think it's interesting that Bears and Rams is sort of

519
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: going back and forth as the game that's most likely

520
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: to be a blowout, and people are also most interested

521
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 3: in watching that one game, and then on the flip side,

522
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: the one least likely to be a blowout, people are

523
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: most interested to watch that game.

524
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's tricky when you get to this point

525
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: where you go, I know who the Patriots are or

526
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: I know who CJ. Stroud is in the Texans Patriots.

527
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 3: Texans has been in last place in both of those polls.

528
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one. I don't gamble anymore. But I

529
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: it feels like too many people love the Texans to

530
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: pull off the surprise, and that that's where it gets

531
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: kind of tricky because you're like, it's like people really

532
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 2: fell in love with the defense. Yes they did this

533
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: past week. It's like they just noticed the Texans had

534
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 2: the best defense in football, Like, damn, oh, that's right,

535
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: Will Anderson, Danielle Hunter. Yeah, they they've been doing this

536
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: for a while. That front four. Yeah, I know a

537
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 2: lot of Front four talk this week. That's where you're like,

538
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: they've been doing this. It's just nobody's watching. Nobody's talking

539
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: about the Texans. Nobody watches the Tech No, they don't,

540
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: they don't.

541
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 5: Uh.

542
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: Only the only time you watch the Texans is usually

543
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: that Saturday twelve twelve o'clock game, the first game of

544
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and it's always that's the Texans time slot.

545
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: And you know what they would have been in that

546
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: time slot had they not played on Monday night, they

547
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: probably would have been a Saturday game, first game right

548
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: out of the box for the playoffs. Yeah, Paul, the.

549
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 8: Texans gave up two hundred and ninety five points this season.

550
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 8: Only one other team in the NFL gave up under

551
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 8: three hundred points this season. Who wants to guess one

552
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 8: other Denver NFC team is the hint? Who wants a shot.

553
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: Marvin the Rams?

554
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 8: Nope, Rams gave up three forty six Todd Atlanta, Lanta,

555
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 8: they gave up four eleven. You get they gave up

556
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 8: four hundred one points. I respect it, But Tampa, Tampa

557
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 8: gave up four hundred and eleven points. Seeing you clean

558
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 8: it up?

559
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: How about the Eagles? No, the.

560
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 8: Eagles did well three twenty five. Your Seattle Seahawks gave

561
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 8: up two hundred and ninety two points.

562
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should have gotten that one. We should have

563
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: got the boom. The stat of the Day brought to

00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: oh boy, oh, could we be in the NFC title game?

568

Speaker 2: I believe Divisional Round Sunday six Eastern on NBC and Peacock.

569

Speaker 2: with you.

579
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 6: I am going off the board with the Clippers, and

580
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 6: we make fun of often as many four straight wins,

581
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 6: including the Pistons last Saturday in Detroit. They're going for

582
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 6: five straight at the Raptors tonight.

583
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: Uh, let's see see no' connor.

584
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say to Houston Texans defense, they're certainly on

585
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: everybody's radar. Absolutely dominant performance against the Steelers. They essentially

586
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: got Mike Tomlin fired, well, step down, but out of

587
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 3: a job. They may have retired Aaron Rodgers, and they're

588
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: going into New England looking like a force. That's a

589
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: hell of a week, Marvin, best week in sports.

590
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 6: The Patriots defense they had success against Justin Herbert Millon

591
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 6: Williams is looking like Aaron Donald two point zero. Good

592
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 6: week for them.

593
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: HM the immovable object against the irresistible force there with

594
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: these two defenses, apparently, Paul.

595
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 7: I will go.

596
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 8: Niners quarterback Brock purty little national reminder that he's got

597
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 8: some playing ability and he's kind of back. He's one

598
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 8: of those guys you question after the big contract. Looks

599
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 8: like it's full steam ahead once he has a healthy team.

600
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: And I was talking to Chris Russo about which team

601
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 2: or player has the most pressure. I think Sam Donald

602
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: probably has the most pressure because everybody is waiting for him.

603
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: Is he going to be the Sam Donald we know?

604
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: Or is this going to be the new and improved

605
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: Sam Darnald. And you have the number one seed, you

606
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: have home field advantage, you have a ticket to the

607
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 2: super Bowl. All you have to do is take care

608
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: of business at home and try to play as close

609
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: to mistake free football as you can. But you have

610
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. I don't look at this and say, boy,

611
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: the window is wide open. Yes, these other quarterbacks aren't playing,

612
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: but I don't think this is a great Buffalo team.

613
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 2: And you've got to win three games on the road,

614
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: and then if you do, you get to go to

615
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Josh Allen doesn't need to prove to

616
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: me about winning in the playoffs. He performs in the playoffs,

617
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: and as RG three said yesterday, wins aren't a quarterback statistic.

618
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: Now I disagree. I think it is it should be,

619
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: but you know he's saying, hey, you can do everything possible.

620
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean you're going to win the game. I

621
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: understand that, and he's put his team in position to win.

622
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson has not, and that's what we're waiting for

623
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: with him, Sam Darnold were waiting to see. Is he

624
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: going to be a big time player?

625
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 6: Yes, Mark Well, I disagree with rg TH from this standpoint.

626
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 6: When we talk about quarterbacks, we talk about what you

627
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 6: did in the playoffs. It doesn't matter. Oh, man, he

628
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 6: played great, but your team lost. This is a results

629
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 6: based business, you know, and you have to show up

630
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 6: and at least get your team to a win in

631
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 6: order to be considered a great playoff quarterback because people

632
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 6: aren't going to look into the stats like that, like, man,

633
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 6: he played great against the Chiefs and a loss.

634
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think they might do that for Josh Allen

635
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: because his postseason stats are pretty amazing, so they might

636
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: give him, Like I don't know Dan Marino's postseason stats.

637
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know Joe Montana's postseason stats.

638
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: Know that he won super Bowls. You know Roger Staubach

639
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl and I think he threw for

640
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: one hundred nineteen yards and was named the MVP. Okay,

641
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 2: Bart Starr didn't have great postseason numbers. He's a Hall

642
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 2: of Famer. Bob Greasy like, I don't know what his

643
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: postseason numbers are. All we know is did you win

644
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl? That's it. But hey, your QBR was

645
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: one twenty eight. I couldn't care less about that. I

646
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 2: just want to know. We've seen Sam Darnold in a

647
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: couple of playoff games and because of him, his teams

648
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: didn't advance. Now we want to see what he does

649
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: home field advantage in a game that they're favored by

650
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: a touchdown. But I'm trying to think of anybody else

651
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: under a lot of pressure. It feels like Sean McDermott is.

652
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: It just feels like that, whether whether he is or not.

653
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: RG three said yesterday, if Buffalo doesn't win that game,

654
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: he thinks Sean McDermott is gone. And Shan's been there

655
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: I think nine years. I mean, that's an eternity now

656
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 2: in the coaching circles, like Andy Reid, what do you

657
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 2: he's a no one's going to be putting up numbers

658
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: like that. At least it doesn't feel like that. And

659
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: you know, here's another side topic here with the Green

660
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: Bay Packers and Matt Lafleur, and that deal's not done yet,

661
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: and that is kind of weird. You go, Okay, what's

662
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: holding this up. Matt Lafleur wasn't one of the higher

663
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: paid coaches in the NFL, and he probably wants to

664
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: be compensated, you know, far more than five million dollars

665
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: a year. But you can't go in there after a

666
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: bad loss. If if he wanted to negotiate a halftime

667
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: of the Bears Packers game, that would have been a

668
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 2: great time where you just walk in. I'm keeping an

669
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: eye on some of these situations here, you know, is

670
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: there another opening that could emerge. I talked to somebody

671
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: yesterday who said Mike Tomlin's not coaching any time soon.

672
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: So Mike Tomlin is not He's let I believe everybody. No,

673
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: he's not coaching, not anytime soon, and no guarantee that

674
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 2: he's going to go into TV either. But the Matt

675
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: lafloor with the Packers, you know, you don't want a

676
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: lane duck coach where it's the last year. All of

677
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 2: a sudden, you lose to the Lions and the Bears,

678
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: and then you go to a press conference and then

679
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,479
Speaker 2: they say, you know, are you coaching for your job?

680
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: Like then it becomes a distraction. They're either going to

681
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: keep him or they're going to move on. But I

682
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: thought John Harbaugh for some reason, I thought that was

683
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: in play. And then somebody said to me yesterday about

684
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 2: Matt lafloor with if Green Bay doesn't want him, Pittsburgh

685
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: would love him, or Atlanta would love him, or Tennessee

686
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: in previous stops would love him. So this isn't done yet.

687
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: This whole coaching cares and we can't even get Harball

688
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: under contract yet. It just feels like there are a

689
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: lot of moving parts here. And is there a team

690
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: in the playoffs who could move move on from their coach?

691
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: Uh Lucas and Texas, Hi Luke, welcome back, Hey End,

692
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning. Two quick NFL things.

693
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 7: You guys were talking earlier about the Preachia Bowl with

694
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 7: the Bengals and Chargers. I still think the craziest stat

695
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 7: I've ever heard is that the Chargers, in consecutive games

696
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 7: in Miami and then in Cincinnati faced a difference in

697
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 7: air temperature kind of feels like temperature of at least

698
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty five degree. Yeah, it's insane when

699
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 7: you think about it. But this weekend, you know, you've

700
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 7: been asking lately of the guys, not really what is

701
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 7: going to the headline going to be, but what is

702
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 7: the story or conversation going to be. My theory the

703
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 7: Bear secondary and defense overall is a little bit shaky.

704
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 7: We know that Matt Stafford loves to zero in on

705
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 7: one receiver in a game. I think the discussion is

706
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 7: going to be he has either since in the Bonsey

707
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 7: Adams somebody of the Hall of Fame, or in Puka

708
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 7: Nukua he is well on his way only three years

709
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 7: in to a Hall of Fame career. I think that's

710
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 7: the discussion that's going to become out after this weekend's games.

711
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, all right, thank you, Luke, have a good weekend.

712
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: Who had the worst week in sports? Marvin? I'll start

713
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: with you.

714
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the LA Lakers. They had man,

715
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 6: They're won in four in their last five games, and

716
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 6: the whole Rich Paul hypothetical. Austin Reeves situation did not

717
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 6: help well.

718
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: I think Max Kellerman, who's the co host with Lebron's agent,

719
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: came out and said, if the Lakers really want to win,

720
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 2: they'll trade Luka Doncic because he doesn't play defense. Okay,

721
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: I don't know who you're getting for Luka Doncic. Like,

722
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 2: if we're gonna do these, you know, silly local radio show,

723
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm we're gonna trade if you know Luis Soho for

724
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: Mickey Mantle. You know you're like, I'll hang up and listen.

725
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: The Hornets beat the Lakers one thirty five to one seventeen.

726
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 2: Horne's got some scores, but you're giving up a hundred

727
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: in thirty five points.

728
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 6: Yes, mart LaMelo Ball looked like he was at Chino

729
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 6: Hills last night. I know, like he's one of those

730
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 6: like you said, he puts up. Never question his talent,

731
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 6: but his ability to be the best player on a

732
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 6: winning team.

733
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 2: No is my thing. Yeah, I don't. I don't want him.

734
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: I mean I like watching him. You know, first time

735
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 2: I saw him he was a freshman in high school,

736
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: and I said he's the best out of the Ball brothers.

737
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 7: Uh.

738
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 2: But no, I think he's more of a hey, look

739
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: at me kind of guy, not a look at us

740
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 2: kind of guy. So yeah, but he was he was dancing,

741
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 2: he was dribbling, he was shooting.

742
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 5: Uh.

743
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,720
