You know what it is? 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: I know you do. 15 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 3: Patty's there, yes. 16 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 2: Yes, Selections Sunday and Saint Patty's Day of course, And 17 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: I did a little history lesson for everybody because I 18 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: want to know when is it? How did it start? 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day was originally celebrated in Ireland, obviously with 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: religious services feast in honor of Saint Patrick, one of 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: Ireland's patron saints. Now when Irish immigrants brought Saint Patrick's 22 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: State traditions to the US of A. Did they evolved 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: into a secular celebration of iris culture, which I guess 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 2: is corn beef and cabbage. I don't know why corn 25 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: beef and cabbage. I mean, you could pick other items 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: to eat than corn beef and cabbage, but I guess 27 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: that's the food of the day today. And it's also 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: Selection Sunday. And what happened to your North Carolina tartills 29 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 2: yesterday to NC State? What happened I was thinking of you? 30 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 4: Look, man, I stayed out played them. I mean I 31 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 4: could say a whole bunch of things. Stayed out played them, 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 4: Like in a situation in a one and done, single 33 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 4: elimination tournament, you got to bring it every day. And 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 4: for whatever reason, in the final of the ACC tournament, 35 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 4: they didn't play their best game in NCY State deserved 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 4: a way. 37 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they sure did. It was kind of crazy days 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: yesterday that Wisconsint game in overtime. I was a tremendous 39 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: game as well. But you know what, so much going 40 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: on selection son. They We'll get to that a little 41 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: later on, but right now, at the eleventh hour, we 42 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: have a story, a late breaking one obviously. Really it 43 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: happened late last night the Chicago Bears. They finally got 44 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: rid of him. Really, I think there was so much 45 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: pressure to get rid of Justin Fields they just had 46 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: to do it. But I'm sort of shocked he went 47 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers in the twenty twenty five 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: sixth round pick that converts to a fourth round selection. 49 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: It feels plays get this fifty one percent of the 50 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: snaps this year. A source confirmed this. Now, I don't 51 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: think he will. And here's the question Number one, Bucket Brooks, 52 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: how surprise were you that he went to Pittsburgh. I'm 53 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: not surprised he was traded, but surprised he went to 54 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh after they get Russell Wilson. 55 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 4: Not surprised, not surprised at all, because I think the look, 56 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 4: I think there have been some buzz come out of Pittsburgh, 57 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: but that they wanted Justin Fields in some way, shape 58 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 4: or form. And what I think is after they were 59 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: able to get Russell Wilson and after Kenny Pickett was dismissed, 60 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: I think it opened up a huge void in the 61 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 4: quarterback room for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I feel like the 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: Chicago Bears did Justin feels a solid by just sending 63 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 4: him away for a six round pick, because it's a 64 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 4: better situation than maybe some of the other things that 65 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 4: they got. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, I think all of 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 4: these moves are low risk moves. They're paying the total 67 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 4: quarterback room maybe four million dollars, and they have guys 68 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 4: who have upside and if it works out like great, 69 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 4: they didn't con pick whichever guy they want to continue on. 70 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 4: If it doesn't work out, they can go right back 71 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 4: in the draft and do it all over again without 72 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: a significant financial commitment. So if the Steelers, there's look, 73 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 4: there's little to no risk involved. And for the Chicago Bears, 74 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 4: even though you didn't get what you want, you did right, 75 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 4: but you did right by a guy who had been 76 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 4: a great player for you in the locker room. 77 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, A couple of things come to mind with this 78 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: trade right now. Number One, the reports say that Justin 79 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: Fields is not expected to compete with Wilson for the 80 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: starting job. That I don't on this stand. I guess 81 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: they wanted to sit there and learn from Russell Wilson. 82 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: I mean, you would think to be when initially when 83 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: I heard the trade. I said, Wow, now Russell Wilson's 84 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: got some competition to go for that style job. I 85 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: guess now it's his. He's got the stunning joke, which 86 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense to me. I think competition breeds 87 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: success maybe on way off base on. 88 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: That look, man, I think there's a natural packing order. 89 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: And I think if you are the Pittsburgh Stils, regardless 90 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 4: of what happens to a player before he gets to 91 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 4: your place, like you want to have a progression plan 92 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: for how you're going to deal with Justin Fields. I 93 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 4: can't think of a better situation, just in general, where 94 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 4: you have a young player because Justin Fields is relatively young, 95 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: who has an opportunity to learn behind a none time 96 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 4: pro bowler, one time Super Bowl champion. And despite what 97 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 4: everyone says about Russell Wilson and how bad of a 98 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: player and how washed up he is, Russell Wilson's numbers 99 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 4: were better than anything that the Pittsburgh still has had 100 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 4: at the quarterback position last year. If you go back 101 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 4: and you think about finding someone who had twenty six 102 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: touchdowns only eight interceptions, it's the ability to understand perception 103 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 4: and reality. The reality is Russell Wilson didn't play like 104 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 4: a superstar in Denver, but last year he was far 105 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 4: from a terrible player. This gives Justin Field an opportunity 106 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: to learn from a veteran who has played a lot 107 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: of football, who's played at a high level, how to 108 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 4: play the game. Look, I don't think there's anything wrong 109 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 4: we're putting Justin Fields in that situation, particularly when you 110 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 4: understand that last year, over sixty five quarterbacks played started 111 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 4: games in the National Football League. That means that typically 112 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 4: for most teams, your backup quarterback is going to play. 113 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: As some point, Justin Fields is probably going to play 114 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and what you've gotten is a 115 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 4: former first round pick to kind of step into the 116 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 4: QB two row. 117 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: Right now, if you look at the Pittsburgh Steelers going 118 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: into the draft and some maybe free agency as well 119 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 2: as some of the needs that they wanted and they 120 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 2: needed a quarterback, needs some help on the offensive line, 121 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: a cornerback, and maybe a defensive tackle. So they got 122 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: two quarterbacks right now, Wilson Fields. They got a line background, 123 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: Patrick Queen in the free agency, and they got that 124 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: cornerback and Dante Jackson. So I think all of a sudden, 125 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: the Steelers look pretty good going into the draft. 126 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 4: Agreed, Repeat what you said. I heard you say something 127 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: about going to the draft. Just repeat it. 128 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: No, I think that the Stealers basically needed a quarterback, 129 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: offensive line help, a cornerback, and a defensive tackle, and 130 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: a free agency. That got their cornerback of Dante Jackson, 131 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: they got a linebacker on Patrick Queen, and they got 132 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: their two quarterbacks in Wilson and Fields. 133 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 134 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: No, I mean they've done a good job in the 135 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 4: offseason of being able to field voice and now in 136 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 4: the draft they have the opportunity to go in and 137 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 4: take the best player available. They don't have the pressure of, 138 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 4: oh my gosh, we have a need, we need to 139 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 4: go and get this done. They can sit on the 140 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 4: board and just kind of wait, this is a solid 141 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 4: situation about Omar Kahn to build up the roster and 142 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 4: make sure that you have all these things. Feel so, 143 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 4: if we had to play a game today, the Pittsburgh 144 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 4: still is good. Line up and snap the football and 145 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 4: feel good about the team they have. But now with 146 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 4: the draft coming up, they can look at the young players. 147 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 4: They can give them the most bang for the book, 148 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 4: which is exactly what you want to do. 149 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: You know, I think right now the pressure is solely 150 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 2: on the Chicago Bears because you know they're gonna pick 151 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: Caleb usc Is the first pick. They got the first 152 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: pick of the draft, and that was the pressure. Roll 153 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: along and look, you have the first pick in the 154 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: NFL draft. Obviously you're probably going to pick a quarterback, 155 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: even if there's not a tremendous need for a quarterback. 156 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: So Justin Fields is gone, Caylen Williams is gonna come 157 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: in there as the first pick, and should he not 158 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: do well, should he falter? Boy, are they going to 159 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: get some heat. They had some big time heats sort 160 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: of pressure, and who knows what he's going to do 161 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: in the pros. And you see this many times. I mean, 162 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: you want to get a guy with a lot of 163 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: experience under his belt coming out of college to play 164 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: the game of football. So it happened on the forty 165 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: nine ers when they drafted a quarterback. Couldn't get it done. 166 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: I mean, so obviously there is a lot of pressure 167 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: right now on the Chicago Bears to get a successful 168 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: I guess a successful stint out of their quarterback pick 169 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: in the draft. 170 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 4: Well, but it was gonna be pressure on him anyway, 171 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: because we live in a business where no matter what 172 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: the Chicago Bears did, we're gonna pick them apart. 173 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: If they move on from Justin. 174 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 4: Fialdz bring Kayla Williams Williams struggles, we're gonna say they 175 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: should have kept Justin Fields and played him or whatever. 176 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: If they kept Justin Fields and Kayler Williams, we would 177 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 4: say that's dumb. They could get more from them. And 178 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 4: so the Bears made a decision. They're going with Kayler Williams, 179 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: and Kayler Williams has. 180 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: To play well. 181 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 4: History suggests it's harder to find a quarterback in the draft. 182 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 4: It's harder to find a top ten quarterback that can 183 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,559 Speaker 4: do it at a high level. 184 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 3: We'll see. 185 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: We'll see if the Bear is able to do something 186 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 4: that their franchise has not been able to do and 187 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: forever find a franchise quarterback that can lift his team 188 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 4: to greater heights. 189 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: We's see how it works for them. 190 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: Let's go back to the Pittsburgh Steels for a secon. 191 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett was the first pick out of the University 192 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: of Pittsburgh as that quarterback. Obviously, he wanted out of 193 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh as soon as he found out the Steelers sign 194 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. I get that, but still, in all, if 195 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: you're a competitive you can say, we bring him on, 196 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: bring him in here, let me see what I could 197 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 2: do against him. But I guess he said, nope, I 198 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: don't want it, and the Eagles get the Kenny Pickett 199 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 2: by sending the Steelers a third round compensatory pick in 200 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: this year's draft, which would be like the ninety eighth 201 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 2: pick overall. But the funny thing is the story came 202 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 2: out just the other day that the Steelers weren't pleased 203 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: with Kenny Pickett's behavior last year when he refused to 204 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: dress as the emergency third quarterback in a game against Seattle, 205 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: which was in week seventeen. You know, we get that now. 206 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: I haven't heard that early. Have you heard about that 207 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 2: story before that it refused to dress. 208 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 4: Well, I mean I heard like rumblings that they just 209 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 4: weren't happy with how he handled this situation with Mason Rudolph. 210 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 4: He wasn't like there's a bit of entitlement to you know, 211 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett in his game and he felt like he 212 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 4: should have been the starting quarterback in those things and 213 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: for young quarterback who hadn't played great, it's a little 214 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 4: shocking that he would have those kinds of demands or whatever. 215 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 4: I think for the Pittsburgh still is regardless of what 216 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 4: transpired with Kenny Pickett at the end of the season 217 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: and those things. I think this comes down to who 218 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: would you rather have Justin Fiels or Kenny Pickett. From 219 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: a talent standpoint, the Pittsburgh Stellers felt like Justin Field 220 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 4: offers them more than Katy Pickett. That's why they went 221 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 4: that route. So regards of what they sent Kenny Pickett 222 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 4: to the Eagles for, I think it was more of 223 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 4: an opportunity to upgrade the backup because you don't trade 224 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett without having the Justin Fields deal almost done. 225 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 4: And so I don't believe that it was a coincidence. 226 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 4: Did they trade Kenny Pickett one day the next day 227 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: Justin Fields comes in. I think this is a matter 228 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 4: of them comparing the two players Justin Fields versus Kenny Pickett, 229 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 4: and opting to go with Justin Fields. 230 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: Okay, let's go back to the Eagles for a second. Now, 231 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 2: look at the three quarterbacks on the Philadelphia Eagles and 232 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: look at the salary structure, which is unbelievable. How Howie Roseman, 233 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 2: the general manager, put this together. Got Jalen Hurts to 234 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: thirteen point five mil, all right, Kenny Pickets to get 235 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: at one point nine mil, and McKees did, he's a 236 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: third guy, the backup guy. Nine hundred and sixty one 237 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. That's for three quarterbacks. Okay. Compare that to 238 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 2: Dallas where Dak Prescott is getting almost sixty million, I 239 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: think fifty nine point four million of the Cowboys cap 240 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones in New York with a giant sience forty 241 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: seven point one million. Such a pretty decent deal that 242 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: Howie Roseman got going on in Philadelphia with the Eagles 243 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 2: for three quarterbacks. 244 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, if you go back and you look at the 245 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 4: Eagles history, the Eagles have said time and time again 246 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 4: that they would like to be a quarterback factory, a 247 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 4: team that constant consistently develops quarterbacks. They're able to have them, 248 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 4: and they can either keep them for their own doing 249 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 4: as backups behind an established starter, or they can eventually 250 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 4: auction those guys off. When you go and you take 251 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 4: a first round pick in Kenny Pikett and you put 252 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 4: them behind Jalen Hurts. You want to upgrade the talent 253 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 4: in the room. You also want to take an opportunity 254 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,479 Speaker 4: to develop Kenny Pickett and see if you can maximize 255 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 4: who he is and what he's about. We'll see how 256 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 4: it plays out for all of these guys. But look, 257 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 4: I can't argue. I can't be mad at the Philadelphia 258 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 4: Eagles for taking a chance on Picket. But I also 259 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 4: can't be mad at the Pittsburgh Steelers for moving. 260 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: On from him when they had the opportunity to get 261 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 3: justin Phils. Yeah. 262 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: I had no idea that Kenny Pickett is older than 263 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. But now you got to help me out here. 264 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: What to back this kid? Tana McKee. Have you heard 265 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 2: of this kid? I don't even know who he is. 266 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Tanner McKee play to Stanford. He's actually an 267 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 4: LA guy from the like the Inland Empire, played that 268 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 4: can run a centennial high school, went to Stanford, played 269 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 4: a little bit, served on a mission, but the only 270 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 4: played like maybe his final season before an end and 271 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 4: draft and intriguing prospect. The one thing that's interesting about 272 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 4: the Eagles, all of their quarterbacks are drastically different from 273 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 4: a stylistic standpoint. 274 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: Whereas the Pittsburgh Steelers. 275 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 4: Have decided that they want one type of quarterback in 276 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 4: the quarterback room so they don't have to change their offense. 277 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: The Eagles don't do that. It's just interesting to see 278 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: that because some normally you always talk about wanting to 279 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: have the same playbook. The Eagles have to change and 280 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 4: tweak their playbook if something is to happen to Jalen 281 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 4: Hurts when they go to the number two and number 282 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: three quarterback. 283 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like the Eagles right now with the 284 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: signing of Saekwon Barkley, they want to go back to 285 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: that power run offense, which I think about a year 286 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: ago and about mid season they went from I guess 287 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: a passing sort of offense to like really power running 288 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: and it really helped them down the stretch. Not this season, 289 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: but two seasons ago. 290 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, two seasons ago. 291 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 4: What they did is they run an offense that was 292 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 4: really built for Jalen Hurts. They ran the football, they 293 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 4: utilized the quarterback run game. It upgraded their typical run 294 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 4: game with the running backs. It made very difficult for 295 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 4: the defense. Last year they were a little more traditional, 296 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 4: try to be a little more like quarterback driven. When 297 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 4: it came to the passing game, that didn't necessarily work 298 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 4: out for them. I think it's solid to go back 299 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 4: to what Jalen Hurst did well, which is run the 300 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 4: football and utilizing Jalen Hurts making sure you utilize them 301 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 4: as a runner as well as a playmaker in the backfield. 302 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: Okay, I got some really good news for you, Bucket Brooks. 303 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: You know I'm always here to try to make you happy, 304 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: and I got some good news for it because you know, 305 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: you look, you work for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and you 306 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: know you do a lot of work for them. But 307 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: certainly they had some problems not even on the field, 308 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 2: but off the field in the front overs. For Meet Patel, 309 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: the former Jacksonville Jaguars employee. He stole twenty two million 310 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: dollars from the team, which is unbelievable. I mean, today 311 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: want to make a movie about this guy. How you 312 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: can steal twenty two million dollars from an NFL team 313 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: is beyond me. But he was sentenced in the US 314 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: district court this past week for six and a half 315 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: years in prison. That got him He's gone. Have you 316 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: ever met this guy? If you don't want to talk 317 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: about I get it. But have you ever seen this 318 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: guy in the front office of the Jacksonville Jaguars. 319 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: I have not ever met him. 320 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: So when you heard the story, he was like, you 321 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 2: were shocked, like everybody else, I'm sure. 322 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I mean, obviously he comes out and you know, 323 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: people to talk various stories about him and what he 324 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 4: took from the team. Obviously the amount of money is significant, 325 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 4: Dan Belzman. But yeah, when the case came to light, 326 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 4: I think it might have been a bit of a 327 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 4: shock to anybody and everybody around the building. 328 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: Amazing. Now he's a former employ now in the finance 329 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 2: department for the Jaguars. He pleaded guilty in December of 330 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: twenty three of charges why a fraud illegal monetary transactions 331 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: he stole from the Jaguars over a four year period 332 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: by creating fraudulent charges on the club's virtual credit card 333 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: and then covering his tracks by sending falsified files to 334 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: the team's accounty department. Do you have a credit card 335 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: from the Jaguars, Bucky Brooks. 336 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 4: I do not, because I'm an independent contract I'm a 337 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,479 Speaker 4: four time employee. 338 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: Okay, And Bettel said that his fraud was fueled by 339 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 2: his gambling addiction, and that he chased losses until those 340 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 2: losses snowballed beyond his control. Look, I would say this, 341 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: everyone who gambles is addicted. Maybe I'm crazy for saying that, 342 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: because it's like everybody who smokes. If you smoke, you're addicted. 343 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if you put a cigarette in 344 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: your mouth, you're addicted. You're addicted to smoking. If you gamble, 345 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: you're addicted. And look, I don't see people who basically 346 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 2: get on their phone and start making bets every single day, 347 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 2: even if they're little bets. And I don't do it, 348 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: but I've seen people who do, and friends of mine 349 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: do it. You're addicted. 350 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 5: You know. 351 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: It's not a bad word, but you are. And it's 352 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: very difficult to stop because I think you get started, 353 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: you enjoy it, or maybe you get caught up in it, 354 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: or maybe you're trying to get even if you're losing money. 355 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: But you are addicted. And this guy was addicted, so 356 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: they got him. He's out, he's in jail right now, 357 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: and good for you.

I'm Andy for Emaware live from the 396 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: tire Rack dot Com studios, and you know Bucky. The 397 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: biggest news I guess a free agency this week involved 398 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: a non free agent. I'll talk about Aaron Donald. Aaron 399 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: Donald retired at the age of thirty two, and he 400 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 2: and Barry Sanders are the only players in NFL history 401 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 2: to play ten years and get selected to the Pro 402 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: Bowl in each season. That's an amazing stat But at 403 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: thirty two, I thought he still had some more gas 404 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: in the tank. Were you surprised with the retirement for 405 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: Aaron Donald. 406 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 4: No, not really surprised, because he hinted at retiring last year. 407 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 4: He's done it the last couple of years. We even 408 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 4: thought that maybe after the Super Bowl in which they 409 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 4: knocked off to Cincinnati Bengals, that that would be it. 410 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 4: So for him to get a four decade, for him 411 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 4: to be a perennial Pro Bowl or a guy that 412 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 4: made it each and every season. Sometimes you want to 413 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 4: go out on top. You want to go out before 414 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 4: people see the decline. 415 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: In your game. He'll go down as a legend. 416 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 4: He'll go down probably as a first ballot Hall of Famer, 417 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 4: one of the best defensive players that we've ever done. 418 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 4: And more importantly, he'll get out of the game while 419 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 4: they're still healthy. Given the money that he has made, 420 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 4: and given the money that these players make, we may 421 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 4: not see those guys that play fifteen sixteen years. You 422 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 4: will see guys probably kind of get what they can 423 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 4: out of the game, win as much as they can win, 424 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 4: try and build up their individual resumes. To be Hall 425 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 4: of Famers and get out. Aaron Donald elected to do that, 426 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 4: and he will get everything that he wants out of it, 427 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 4: because he certainly will be a gold Jackie guy when 428 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 4: it's all sat and downe. 429 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: No doubt about five years from today he'll be in 430 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. There's no doubt about that. Yeah. 431 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: Another story that came to light on Friday, and this 432 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: is the Kirk Cousins thing. The domino theory kind of 433 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 2: just started. The domino start at the fall the Minnesota Vikings. 434 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: They get the Houston Texans first round drift pick and 435 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: that was a tread on Friday. More that really could 436 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: be a move for the Vikings to the second round. 437 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 2: They get quarterback to replace Kirk Cousins. The question I 438 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: have that Kirk Cousins basically leaving Minnesota creates a tremendous 439 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: void over there. And the coaching staff of the Vikings 440 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: was saying that, in fact, the Atlanta Falcons were kind 441 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: of like doing some illegal things prior to that trade, 442 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 2: prior to Cousins leaving. Why wouldn't that Hell would they 443 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: let Kirk Cousins go? What do they have right now 444 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 2: at the quarterback position? 445 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 4: Well, They didn't want to be heal hosted by Kirk Cousins. 446 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 4: You think about the amount of money that they paid 447 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins. They haven't won any playoff games, they haven't 448 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 4: done anything of significance with Kirk Cousins at the quarterback spot, 449 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 4: and they didn't want to be hel hostage by Kirk Cousins. 450 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 4: And look, man, his half tea contract demands. You saw 451 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 4: the contract that he got from the Atlanta Falcons. The 452 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 4: first ninety million dollars of that contract is guaranteed. They 453 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 4: didn't want to pay that much money for a quarterback 454 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 4: coming off in Achilles injury, particularly one that hasn't helped 455 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: them get past a certain point. Yeah, he is thirty 456 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 4: six and he is coming off an Achilles injury, and 457 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 4: you kind of want to see what it is. But 458 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 4: they haven't won the playoffs with him, And so for 459 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings, they're rather hit the reset button see 460 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 4: if they can find a younger, cheaper option and rebuild 461 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 4: their team with a better overall team than they can 462 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 4: put around the quarterback. 463 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: Okay, so now they got Sam Donald, which I don't 464 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 2: think he's going to be a future There'll probably be 465 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: some sort of a bridge quarterback. They signed to a 466 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 2: one year, ten million dollar contract and we'll see what 467 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 2: happens right now. But honestly, I just think if the 468 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 2: Vikings had problems winning playoff games in the past, I 469 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 2: think they may have problems even getting into the playoffs 470 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: right now without Kirk Cousins. 471 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 3: I mean, that's true. 472 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 4: They may have a problem doing it, but they also 473 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 4: can't continue to pay Kirk Cousins forever, particularly the kind 474 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 4: of money that Kirk Cousins has been able to get. 475 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins has been on a guarantee contracts late the 476 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 4: last eight years, and for the Minnesota Vikings, when you're 477 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 4: paying the kind of money that they're paying Kirk Cousins 478 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 4: as a team, you want to see better results. 479 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 3: But they haven't did it. 480 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 4: He's been great in the regular season, but in the 481 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 4: post season everyone knows about his primetime record. In those 482 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 4: things when you need the game to be about the 483 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 4: quarterback and the quarterback playing well, Kirk Cousins hasn't delivered. 484 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 4: The Minnesota Vikings had a price in mind, and once 485 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 4: it the bidding surpass that price, I think they were like, hey, 486 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 4: you know what, We'll move on. We're trying to find 487 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 4: another quarterback first to bridge and then we'll find a 488 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 4: young quarterback that we can build around. 489 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: And I think he's perfect for Atlanta because that office 490 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 2: does not have a Justin Jefferson as far as receiver, 491 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: and they run the football. They run a hob John Robinson, 492 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: so I think that he's not a mobile quarterback anyway. 493 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: And we'll see what happens coming up that injury. I 494 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: think he's a perfect fit for Atlanta. 495 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 3: I mean he does. He potentially could work in Atlanta. 496 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 4: Arthur Blank one of the franchise quarterback in the mode 497 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: of Matt Ryan, so he gets that and they'll try 498 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 4: and beef up all the things around Kirk Cousins to 499 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 4: have success. To have Drake Lennon, they have cow Pitts, 500 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 4: who discounting community loved when he was coming out, but 501 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 4: he's yet to deliver on the promise that many saw. 502 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 4: They have b John Robinson in the backfield for a 503 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 4: They signed Darnelle Moody to come over. This team should 504 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 4: be well positioned to be very very competitive in the NFC, 505 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 4: but a lot would depend on how well Ker Cousins 506 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 4: plays and how he owns up coming off that Achilles injury. 507 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: Right, No, I did mention coming into the second bigger 508 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: maybe better about the college football players now they're moving now, 509 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 2: maybe even closer to it, and expected fourteen team playoff 510 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: that would begin in twenty twenty six. So here's the deal. 511 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm saying to myself, Wait a minute, now, 512 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 2: there's going to be fourteen teams coming in twenty twenty six. 513 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 2: They got to big ten the SEC, these teams, these 514 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 2: schools right now twenty one million dollars per school each 515 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: of those schools, and those conferences will get. That's up 516 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: from what they were getting five point five mili right now. 517 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: How in the heck can you ever have an even 518 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 2: playing field with college football teams when those two conferences 519 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 2: each school's getting twenty one mil. I don't get it, 520 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 2: And do me a favor, please, if anybody from the 521 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: SEC is listening, could we please not have these schools 522 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: playing like Western Kentucky and Lafayette, Monroe, Louisiana and New 523 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: Mexico State. If you're gonna have the big money out there, 524 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: stop playing those also runs. I get crazy when I 525 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: see Alabama playing like Louisiana Monroe. Stop stopping already. I 526 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: can't handle that. I can't well, I. 527 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 4: Mean, it's gonna be tougher to get them to play 528 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 4: the bigger schools because that's going to have a significant 529 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 4: impact on whether you make the playoff. And so some 530 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 4: of the marquee games that we would love to see 531 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 4: where we see cross sectional rivalries, teams from other conferences 532 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 4: playing each other, seeing Oregon take on an Auburn like 533 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 4: we've done in the past, we may not see those 534 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 4: games because why would I want to put myself at 535 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 4: risk of not being able to make the tournament. And 536 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 4: while I hear you and how you don't want to 537 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 4: see those games, I also can't load up my schedule 538 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 4: with all heavyweights and not have some easier games for 539 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 4: my team. It does my team at this service, It 540 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 4: reduces our opportunity to go into the bid. 541 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 3: So you can't have your cake and eat it too. 542 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 4: If you want to have this big, expansive playoff, then 543 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 4: you're gonna have to live with some of the things 544 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 4: that teams are gonna do to ensure that they're teams 545 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 4: have the best chance of getting into the tournament. 546 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: And more than that, I think a lot of times 547 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 2: TV sets up those games, but more for than not. 548 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: The biggest games usually are on Labor Day weekend, and 549 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 2: then they kind of tape off a little bit because 550 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 2: TV puts those matches together. 551 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: I mean TV does. 552 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 4: He'll put some of those matches together with the Kickoff 553 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 4: Classic and those things. 554 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 3: What you like to. 555 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 4: Point out is, I think it's always week now that 556 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 4: the SEC schedule where everyone takes a collective break. There's 557 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 4: a baked end. I can't even say bye week, but 558 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 4: basically it's a bye week where you can play your 559 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 4: non conference games and everyone tends to take on a 560 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 4: lesser opponent. We've seen Citadel play Alabama during those times. 561 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 4: Some of the schools that you alluded to play some 562 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 4: SEC foes at that time, and what it does it 563 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 4: gears them up before they played the rivalry game at 564 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 4: the end of the year. It's something that a lot 565 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 4: of people don't like it, but you certainly understand it 566 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 4: because if you're the head coach and you're trying to 567 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 4: put the best product on the field to give yourself 568 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 4: an opportunity to get into the tournament. Yeah, you're not 569 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 4: gonna take on all heavyweights because conference itself is loaded 570 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 4: with enough heavyweights that you should be fine. 571 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: You're exactly right, all right, He's Bucket Brooks. I'm Andy Furman, 572 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 2: and this is Fox Football. That football really football Sunday today. 573 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 2: But it's always about football on Selection Sunday and Saint 574 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: Patrick's State. But could they be on the move that's next, 575 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: But of course we're here Fox Live for the tiraq 576 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: dot com studios. But first, Kevin Wyatt with all your sports. 577 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 8: Selection Sunday is upon us for less than twelve hours 578 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 8: from the reveal of the entire sixty eight team field 579 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 8: in the NCAA Tournament. And one team that's really going 580 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 8: to be keeping an eye on things, top ranked Houston Man. 581 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 8: They had a bad showing against Iowa State in the 582 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 8: Big twelve championship game. They lost sixty nine to forty 583 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 8: one and shot just twenty seven percent from the field. 584 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 8: So it'll be interesting to see one where where the 585 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 8: Kooks fall. They were projected to possibly be the number 586 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 8: one overall seed. Now the question is will they even 587 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 8: be a one seed at all or even number two? 588 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 8: Number seven Iowa State with the win very well, could 589 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 8: I get the themselves into that number one seed conversation? 590 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 8: So a lot to keep an eye on their number 591 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 8: two Yukon took care of business against number ten Marquette 592 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 8: seventy three fifty seven. So the Huskies, anticipating being the 593 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 8: number one overall seed in the tournament NC State, they 594 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 8: got five wins in five days to win the ACC Championship. 595 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 8: They beat their in state rival, number four North Carolina 596 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 8: eighty four to seventy six. The PAC twelve, the final 597 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 8: edition of that tournament, saw Oregon be Colorado seventy five 598 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 8: to sixty eight. In that championship game Mountain West, it 599 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 8: was New Mexico over San Diego State sixty eight sixty one. Akron, 600 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 8: they snapped a victory from the jaws of defeat. They 601 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 8: made two free throws the five seconds to go to 602 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 8: win the game, and that's because Kent State had taken 603 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 8: the lead and then immediately committed. 604 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 2: A foul in the backcourt. 605 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 8: So that gave Akron a chance to just take the 606 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 8: game at the free throw line, and they took care 607 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 8: of business there. It was a sixty two to sixty 608 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 8: one final score. Grambling State in as the SWACK champions 609 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 8: that's the first time they've ever made the NA Tournament. 610 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 8: They beat Texas Southern seventy five to sixty six Long 611 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 8: Beach State. What a story they are out of the 612 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 8: Big West as they beat UC Davis seventy four to 613 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 8: seventy to win the Big West Championship and punch their 614 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 8: ticket to the Big Dance. That's because they fired their 615 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 8: coach about a week ago and they said they'd let 616 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 8: him stay on, Dan Munson to stay on who coached 617 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 8: the rest of the season and the postseason, but they 618 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 8: said he would not return. Well, his tenure is gonna 619 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 8: go on at least one more game because of that win, 620 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 8: as they will get themselves into the tournament and in 621 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 8: the professional ranks. Golden State beats the Lakers twenty one. 622 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 8: Anthony Davis got himself hitting the eye and it really 623 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 8: looked bad there for a while and he could not 624 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 8: come back in. And what about the last two minutes 625 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 8: of that game. I mean, it was a great pace, great, 626 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 8: great back and forth game up until the last two minutes. 627 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 8: Win it just came to a halt, lots of reviews, challenges, 628 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 8: and the shot clock wouldn't even work and it just 629 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 8: took a long time to finish that game. But again 630 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 8: the Warriors do hold on to win it. But there's 631 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 8: going to be some discussion around the league as to 632 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 8: the replay policy going forward. The Oklahoma City Thunder beat 633 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 8: the Grizzlies one eighteen one twelve, Minnesota over Utah one 634 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 8: nineteen to one hundred. The big news in the NFL 635 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,239 Speaker 8: on Saturday it was the Bears trading Justin Fields too. 636 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 8: The Steelers are going to get a conditional sixth round 637 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 8: pick in twenty twenty five in return and the Players Championship. 638 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 8: They call it golf's fifth Major. Xanders Chowflay in the lead. 639 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 8: He is one stroke ahead of Wyndham Clark. 640 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, Kevin, Wait a minute, keV, did 641 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: I hear correctly? You said that Grambling is going to 642 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament. Yes, first time you say that. I 643 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 2: can't believe because I remember way back in the day 644 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 2: when Willis Reid played for Grambling. I guess they didn't 645 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: go anywhere, they didn't do anything with Willis played. So 646 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 2: that's good, good news for Grambling. Good to hear that. 647 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: All right, we move on, see you in an hour. 648 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 2: All right, home isn't so sweet.

Okay, we got asked Bucky in about 656 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 2: six seven minutes for now, and we'll say home isn't 657 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: so sweet because maybe there could be a dynasty on 658 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: the move and I can't stand to hear these stories. 659 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: It's kind of like putting a pressure on the fans, 660 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: putting pressure on the community. The president of the Kansas 661 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: City Chiefs, Mark Donovan, he said he didn't rule out. 662 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 2: During an interview on local television, he said that the 663 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 2: voters have to raise a regional sales tax and give 664 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 2: his business to proceeds. How do you like that? He 665 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 2: was on KSHB channel forty one in Kansas City. Donovan 666 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: was asked about an April second vote to extend the 667 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: sales tax of three eighths of ascent through twenty sixty 668 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 2: four to fund a new Royals Kansas City Royals Ballpark 669 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 2: downtown and also improvements to Ourhead Stadium and Bucky Brooks 670 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 2: that tea right now. I don't think the public should 671 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 2: support private businesses, and why should the public support millionaires. 672 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: I don't get it. This freaking guy who owns a 673 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,479 Speaker 2: clock hunt the Kansas City Chiefs is a billionaire and 674 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 2: he's asking the public to vote on a tax for 675 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 2: money to fix his stadium. Makes me sick. 676 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 3: We look, man, I understand it. 677 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 4: But then like fans and cities don't really have an 678 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 4: alternative because if there are other cities that are willing 679 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 4: to take on the Kancity Chiefs or any other pro 680 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 4: franchise that's willing to move, you got to decide what's 681 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 4: more important to you, to stand in your principles and 682 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 4: say we're not going to add another penny. We're not 683 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 4: gonna have taxpayers paying for a private equity or argument 684 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 4: like nah, Like it's such an economic boost to have 685 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 4: this team, particularly a team coming off back to back 686 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 4: Super Bowl wins, to have them in tow, we're willing 687 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 4: to give up the pennies. Most cities will say no, no, no, 688 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 4: we'll do whatever it takes. But you're right, I mean, 689 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 4: NFL owners continue to win, They've always won. When it 690 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 4: comes to that, the rich get richer, they suppress the 691 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 4: payouts to people below them and continue to take a 692 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 4: big part of the product. So it's something that will 693 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 4: not change into the public demands. 694 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 3: That it changes. 695 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 2: Sports teams and sports owners hold cities hostage for their franchise. 696 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 2: And I get it, because there's only thirty plus teams, 697 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 2: and I think it's a great deal, and it separates cities. 698 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 2: It separates cities from being quote major league and minor 699 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 2: league cities. And I think it helps business obviously, downtown 700 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 2: hotels and restaurants and things like that. So certainly there's 701 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: an advantage to having a sports team. It attracts businesses, 702 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: it attracts maybe college graduates who want to go to 703 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: a certain city to work because there's a sports team there. 704 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 2: But it bothers me that these owners are holding the 705 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: fans and voters hostage. As a matter of fact, according 706 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 2: to the TV station of the report, the Kansas City 707 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 2: Chiefs want to add a canopy to its upper deck. 708 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 2: They want fans and heating, They want a parking deck, 709 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: They want a bridge to connect the upper concourse, among 710 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 2: other upgrades. Look at this. The team says. The grades 711 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: would cost an estimated eight hundred million dollars all right. 712 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 2: The Hunt family who owns the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs, 713 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 2: they said they want to contribute just three hundred million, 714 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: So the five hundred million shy, all right, and they 715 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 2: want the public to make up the difference. I'm sure 716 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 2: they will. I'm sure they're going to do it because 717 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 2: they don't want to see the team lose, and the 718 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 2: success this team has had over the last several years, 719 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 2: they're not going to let it go. But I just 720 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: don't think it's right to have teams holding cities and 721 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 2: communities and voter is hostage for their business. No other 722 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 2: business does that except the business of sports. 723 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, it's a tough time to be a fan. 724 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 4: But what is always interesting to me is fans tend 725 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 4: to sign with billionaires instead of the millionaire players. It 726 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 4: is baffling to me when they continue to get kind 727 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 4: of screwed over by ownership that they steadfastly believe in 728 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 4: owners when they're cutting salary, when they refuse to pay out, 729 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 4: when they're doing things. Fans have a tendency app and 730 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 4: applaud and say all this, you can't pay this much 731 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 4: money for this kid or whatever. But the billionaires continue 732 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 4: to find ways to take the last little coins in 733 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 4: their pocket and to take it for themselves until the 734 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 4: fans kind of send a strong message to ownership that 735 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 4: this game is about the fans and without the fans, 736 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 4: you're nothing. 737 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 3: It'll continue to go on like this. 738 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: I want to see the people on the voters in 739 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 2: Kansas City call Clark Hunt's bust. There's bluff. Call is bluff, really, 740 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 2: and look they're not moving, They're not going anywhere. They're 741 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 2: not going to do that. Look the team owner, Clark Hunt, okay, right, 742 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 2: lately he's been dominated by stories about his cheapness. Really 743 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 2: and they had that voting with the Professional Football Association 744 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 2: and what he did. He plays thirty first in the 745 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 2: NFL Plays Association poll out of all the thirty two owners. 746 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 2: He got an F minus mark in the poll. The 747 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 2: player said that the team's facilities, mainly the locker room 748 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: and the training room, are out of date, and, according 749 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: to the pole Count supposedly promised renovations after the twenty 750 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 2: twenty two season, but he failed to deliver outside of 751 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: aiding chairs by the player's locker. I mean, come on, 752 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 2: stick your hand in your pocket, mister Hunt, and get 753 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 2: some stuff done. But I'd love to see the voters 754 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 2: turn this down and see what happens next. Not going 755 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 2: to do that. I mean they did that here in Cincinnati. 756 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 2: They did this several years ago when they went to 757 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,760 Speaker 2: the new stadium downtown. They got the stadium Paul Brown Stadium. 758 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 2: Now it's pay Court Stadium. But you know, they threatened 759 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 2: to move, they threatened to leave. And what the ownership 760 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 2: of the Bengals did, They were pretty smart. They had 761 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 2: it all planned out. They brought all the old players back, 762 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 2: the Chris collins Worth of the world, the Boomers, sciences, 763 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 2: and they had a big deal downtown and everybody got 764 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 2: around them and they were signing autographs or whatever, and 765 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 2: they had to vote, and certainly they voted, and they 766 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 2: got the new stadium. Now that's what they did, and 767 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 2: that the team is somewhat successful because at the time 768 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 2: that team was really down the dumps in the nineties. 769 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 2: Who was like the Lost century really for that team. 770 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 2: But now they got the new stadium, and I think 771 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 2: a lot of teams do that, and we'll see what 772 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 2: happens in Kansas City. Makes me sick. I love sports, 773 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 2: but I hate when those owners do that and they 774 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 2: know they can they know they can, Bucket, they can. 775 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 2: They're gonna get away with it. They always have and 776 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 2: they always will. 777 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 3: Yeah. 778 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 4: No, They'll do whatever the market bears. And so if 779 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 4: they can continue to squeeze it and make money and 780 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 4: be profitable off of it, they're going to continue. 781 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 3: To do so. 782 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right.

I coach at the 798 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 4: high school level now, but I think I would be 799 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 4: a teacher. 800 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 2: Very good.

Let's see favorite NFL city. Okay, 814 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 4: So we just talked about Kansas City. I would say 815 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 4: Kansas City is one of my favorites to visit. Having 816 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 4: played there, I knew it well. I would say Gates 817 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 4: Barbecue in Kansas City not the most like upscale spot, 818 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 4: but in terms of the barbecue, if you want a 819 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 4: true kind of feel for Kansas City barbecue, I would 820 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 4: say Gates Barbecue represents that. 821 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 2: There you go, okay, okay, way off based on this question, 822 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 2: and someone asked me this question the other day, so 823 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask it to you. Because you probably have 824 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 2: the answer. Why do baseball players spit? I don't see 825 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 2: gymnast spit. I don't see track and field runners spit 826 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 2: football perhaps maybe I don't know what they got the 827 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,760 Speaker 2: helmet on, I can't tell. But why do baseball players spit? 828 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it's a part of the game. 829 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 4: I think it's a part of when you go back 830 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 4: and you think about the number of players way way 831 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 4: way back in the day they used to chew tobacco 832 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 4: or they have it look an excessive amount of gum 833 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 4: in their mouth. I think you can't help but to 834 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 4: take all the juices or whatever you got to get 835 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 4: rid of a summary. And so spitting became a big 836 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 4: part of the culture in baseball. 837 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 2: I wonder if hockey players spit. You think hockey players spin? 838 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 4: I doubt it when they when they are spitting their 839 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 4: spitting teeth. 840 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 2: Out right right, Well, what about basketball? I haven't seen 841 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 2: them spit maybe on the bench, and I just but 842 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 2: baseball players, I think tradition. 843 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 4: I think you're right, and it's outside like it's outside, 844 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 4: because it's acceptable to spit on the ground outside. You 845 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 4: can't spit on the basketball court. 846 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 2: That wouldn't be cool, and I did some research on 847 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 2: it prior to the question. I looked at up and said, 848 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 2: a lot of players spit in years past because they're 849 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 2: spitting their glove to kind of loosen up their glove. 850 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 2: That's what they did. I don't know, but that's why 851 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 2: baseball players spit. Who knows, I don't know. They're not 852 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 2: a great habit to do, but they do it. Okay, 853 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 2: best athlete you ever played with and against in the 854 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 2: pros and in college? Best athletes You can do more 855 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 2: than one if you want. 856 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 4: I would say in the pros the best athlete that 857 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 4: I played with, it would be one or two. I 858 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 4: would say Dale Carter for the long term player for 859 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 4: the Kancity Chiefs played at the Pro Bowl level. I 860 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 4: would say Charles Woodson would also fall into that category 861 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 4: because he was so natural. 862 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 5: Uh. 863 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 4: In college, I'm trying to figure out who is the 864 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,760 Speaker 4: best player that I played against. 865 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 3: Uh, it's tougher. In college. 866 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 4: I would say Charlie Ward playing quarterback at Florida State. 867 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 4: Oh wow, that's probably the most intriguing athlete that I 868 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 4: remember seeing because he did Yeah, I played for the 869 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 4: next for a long time. 870 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, should did all right, les, but not least your choice. Would' 871 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 2: rather play in an historic stadium like lambeau Field or 872 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 2: play in a modern dome facility. 873 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 4: Iran in a historic stadium, There's something about playing where 874 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 4: the Grace have played before that appeals to me. 875 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 2: Love to hear that.

I gotta tell you you did 896 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 2: some tremendous homework on this piece on Foxsports slash. Bucky 897 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 2: Brooks got to google it Foxsports. Bucky Brooks on the 898 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 2: quarterback history of the draft class of twenty twenty four, 899 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 2: on what's going on, and I just want to touch 900 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 2: on it for a second. Number One, you say, Jaden Daniels, 901 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 2: the Kennad of LSU, is going to be the best 902 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 2: quarterback prospect in this draft. Tell me why and what 903 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 2: your study has told people? 904 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 4: No, I would say, like, if you do the study 905 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 4: in the last look going on their back to nineteen 906 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 4: ninety eight, we look at quarterbacks electing in the top ten. 907 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 4: There are a few things that kind of stood out. 908 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 4: And the things that stood out and they are two errors. Right, 909 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 4: there's nineteen ninety eight to twenty ten. That's the old CBA. 910 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 4: But we used to pay a bunch of big money for 911 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 4: top ten quarterbacks and then you have twenty eleven to 912 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 4: now which is a new era. Well back in the 913 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 4: old era, experience really matter. Guys selected in the top ten, 914 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 4: they hit and became stars. Average about thirty eight collegiate stars. 915 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 4: So guys like Philip Rivers, Donovan McNab, Carson Palmer and others, 916 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 4: those guys really pop paid Manning. They popped because they 917 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 4: played a significant amount of snaps as collegians. Twenty eleven 918 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 4: to now, we've seen more teams take on guys who 919 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 4: are being inexperienced, and the inexperienced players have really had 920 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 4: a tough time playing well. Now, the stars like Cam 921 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 4: Newton and Calla Murray had fewer than twenty starts, and 922 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,399 Speaker 4: they were atypical. 923 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 3: The majority of. 924 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 4: The players that have really played really, really well have 925 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 4: had well over thirty starts and they've been successful. And 926 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 4: so when you look at this year's draft class, Jaden 927 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 4: Daniels has fifty five collegiate starts. Caleb Williams's next and 928 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 4: he has thirty three, but Drake May and JJ McCarthy 929 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 4: respectively only have in the twenties, like twenty eight and 930 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 4: twenty six respectively. So when you go about it and 931 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,919 Speaker 4: you look at all the numbers, Jaydeen Daniels falls into 932 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 4: the metric where his game should pop, it should pop 933 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 4: in a major way because he's the most experience of 934 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 4: the top talented guys, and so I'm saying you should 935 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 4: cast you a lot with him because he has the 936 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,800 Speaker 4: best chance of being a star at the level. 937 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 2: So you're telling me there's a real good chance that 938 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels be to pick up the Chicago Bears for 939 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 2: the number one pin over Caleb Williams. 940 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:53,839 Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying that. 941 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 4: I'm saying that of those guys because we've seen like 942 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 4: last year, Bryce Young was the first one, but CJ. 943 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 4: Stroud was to to pick was the one that became 944 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 4: a star of the group right away. I'm saying that 945 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 4: if Kaylen Williams goes first, it doesn't mean that he's 946 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 4: going to be the star. He's just a guy that 947 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 4: everyone views as a star based on this talent in 948 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 4: those things. I'm saying that if Jalen Daniels, Jane Daniels 949 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 4: goes to wherever the commanders or whatever, given his experience, 950 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 4: his experience and expertise, look, the odds are that he's 951 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 4: more likely to pop than some of the other guys 952 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 4: that are at the top of the board, in the 953 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 4: top ten. 954 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 2: It's funny because back in the day, when a guy 955 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 2: drafted a quarterback, usually a quarterback was holding the clipboard 956 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 2: for a year or two learning the system, and he 957 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 2: kind of gradually became a starter and played the game. Look, 958 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 2: you mentioned Peyton Manning had forty five collegiate starts, Donovan 959 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 2: McMahon forty nine, Carson Palmer forty four, Philip Rivers fifty one. 960 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 2: So I guess it didn't mean much back then because 961 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 2: they weren't coming right into the start anyway. And look, 962 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 2: when Peyton Manning started, he flubbed his first year or so, 963 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of success. Then he kind of 964 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 2: learned what it's all about, got a feel for it, 965 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:05,720 Speaker 2: and then he went on for Super Bowl. 966 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would say this like the Carson Palmer 967 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 4: is a great example of the way that it worked 968 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 4: right because Carson Palmer came in and sat for an 969 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 4: entire year behind John Kidner and Cincinnati, but regardless of 970 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 4: red shirting, by the end of his third year, he 971 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,879 Speaker 4: was a Pro Bowl player. Same thing happened to Philip Rivers, 972 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 4: who sat for two years behind Drew Brees, but that 973 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 4: third season in the league. 974 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 3: He was a Pro Bowl player. 975 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 4: So regardless of whether you sat or played, the experienced 976 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 4: players had. 977 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 3: Success by their third year. 978 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 4: When you look at the inexperienced players that are now 979 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,800 Speaker 4: coming to our league, we're throwing them right onto the field. 980 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 4: We're expecting them to be these great players, and they 981 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,720 Speaker 4: simply haven't played enough football. 982 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 3: And even though the. 983 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 4: Game has changed from the college game ninety eight, that 984 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 4: old school area that was still more like the pro 985 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 4: game to now where it's completely different. 986 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 3: It's a little more or spread and shred RPOs. 987 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 4: And those things, the inexperienced players are moving up to 988 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 4: the pros and having a difficult time dealing with the 989 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 4: complexities of NFL defenses, which is why we're seeing so 990 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 4: many of the top guys bust. 991 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 3: I mean, just think about what we just saw yesterday. 992 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 4: Justin Fields traded of that vaunted quarterback class. Because remember 993 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 4: how we talked about that class was gonna be the 994 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 4: golden era of quarterback and you had Trevor Lawrence and 995 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 4: Trey Lance and Zach Wilson, Mac Jones and Justin Fields, 996 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 4: and all of those guys, with the exception of Trevor Lawrence, 997 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 4: will be playing with a new team and so not 998 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 4: the original team this year. That tells you the difficulty 999 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 4: in finding those quarterbacks. But you can point out a 1000 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 4: lot of those quarterbacks didn't have a lot of snaps 1001 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 4: when they entered the league. 1002 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 2: And that's not gonna change because of the situation right now. 1003 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 2: The immediate thing of help, you need help right now. 1004 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,839 Speaker 2: I Mikaleb Williams is gonna be drafted by the Bears. 1005 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 2: He's gonna believe, he's gonna start. I mean, that's one 1006 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 2: of the reasons why Fields is gone. He's that quarterback 1007 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 2: and it's not going to change. I think maybe to 1008 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 2: an extent, it may be even better for the fans 1009 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 2: point of view, not for the team, but for the fans, 1010 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 2: because you follow these kids in college and you see 1011 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 2: how they've done, and the next year they're going right 1012 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 2: to the pros, which is great. It's a great transition 1013 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 2: that and I think go to making a comparison maybe 1014 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 2: a long stretch year to a major league baseball You've 1015 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,240 Speaker 2: got a guy. Not many people, I don't think follow 1016 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 2: college baseball as much as they follow college football. But 1017 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 2: if a guy does well in college, you may not 1018 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 2: see him in the major leagues. In baseball for six, seven, 1019 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 2: eight years down the road, it's a lot different. So 1020 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 2: you want to see what a guy does and the 1021 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 2: NBA has that guy does great in college drafted playing 1022 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 2: right now in the next year in the NBA. That's 1023 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 2: what makes NFL successful to some extent. 1024 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 4: To some extent, yeah, I mean there is something to that, 1025 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 4: like the success rate or whatever. I mean, Like, just 1026 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,759 Speaker 4: think about Haymiyakiz going down to the Miami Heat and 1027 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,840 Speaker 4: the success that he's had right at a time in 1028 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 4: the NBA when so many young guys are flaming out, 1029 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 4: the Miami Heat has been able to kind of hit 1030 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 4: on some of their picks because they take experienced guys, 1031 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,800 Speaker 4: guys who played for a long time in the college ranks, 1032 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,240 Speaker 4: and by playing the game a lot like they're better players, 1033 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 4: they're better prepared to get to the next level in 1034 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 4: terms of playing the game. I think it makes sense. 1035 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 4: I think more teams need to investigate that. But yeah, 1036 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 4: experience appears to matter, and varying levels of experience can 1037 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 4: tend to predict what kind of success you have at 1038 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 4: the next level. Going all the way back to the 1039 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,759 Speaker 4: day Bill Barseils used to have a rule where He 1040 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 4: would want guys that have been three and a half 1041 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 4: your starter as guys who had locked at least thirty stars, 1042 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 4: guys who had won twenty three of those starts with 1043 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 4: a completion percentage. They graduated in those things because he 1044 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 4: believe experience mattered. 1045 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 3: And I think we're seeing that it does matter. 1046 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,839 Speaker 2: All right, that's great. I love that. It's a great story. 1047 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,479 Speaker 2: You get a Fox Sports google Fox Sports bucket Brooks, 1048 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,359 Speaker 2: you find that. But now let's move to the wide 1049 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 2: receiver route. Because I said he's the best wide receiver 1050 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 2: in free agency. We're talking about the race for Calvin 1051 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 2: Ridley and it reached its shocking conclusion. Let's talk about 1052 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley for a second. Had a broken foot, had 1053 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 2: about with depression, It led for a leave of absence 1054 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 2: to the Atlanta Falcons back at twenty twenty one, and 1055 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 2: of course in twenty twenty two, he was suspended for gambling. 1056 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 2: No one cares. Who cares? He's the best wide receiver 1057 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,319 Speaker 2: in football. You know that played field Jacksonville team a 1058 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 2: year ago, seventy six receptions over one thousand yards with 1059 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 2: eight touchdowns. But he's gone right now and he's moved on. Okay, 1060 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,359 Speaker 2: and the race is he signed with the Titans. How 1061 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 2: surprised with the Titans? I mean, who's going to get 1062 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 2: in the football in Tennessee? That's the question. 1063 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,919 Speaker 4: Well, I mean they believe that Will Lewis is gonna 1064 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 4: be able to get him the football. Calvin Ridley shook 1065 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 4: off two years of RUSS to come and have a 1066 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,840 Speaker 4: thousand yard receiving with the Jaguars, had eight touchdowns and 1067 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 4: looked like. There's some people that in Jacksonville that were upset. 1068 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,320 Speaker 3: They thought that he would do more. 1069 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 4: And so there was this debate I can't even say internally, 1070 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 4: but amongst the fans about whether he's worth bring back, 1071 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 4: you know, because of the things that people were talking about. 1072 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 4: Does he understand how to run the route tree? Can 1073 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,280 Speaker 4: he do some of these things? Is he a legitimate 1074 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 4: number one? Well, the Tennessee Titans saw someone who is 1075 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 4: a big time playmaker, a guy who could compliment what 1076 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 4: they have on the other side and DeAndre Hawkins. They're 1077 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,720 Speaker 4: willing to pay him what I would call like top 1078 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 4: elite wide receiver money because he came in at twenty 1079 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 4: three million per and they're gonna roll. I shouldn't even 1080 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 4: say that because that's gonna be a bad punt, and 1081 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 4: they're willing to gamble on the fact that he is 1082 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,920 Speaker 4: going to give them some stability at the position. With 1083 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 4: Will Levice, what they're trying to do is you can 1084 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,840 Speaker 4: see they're trying to surround their young quarterback with veteran 1085 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 4: pass catches because the reliability and dependability should help the 1086 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 4: quarterback be able to trust that I can throw the 1087 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,240 Speaker 4: ball out to the perimeter and one of my guys 1088 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 4: is going to be there and they're gonna make the catch. 1089 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 4: This is all about ran Carthon trying to make sure 1090 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 4: that his young quarterback, Will Levis is given every opportunity 1091 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 4: to succeed. And right now, on paper, it really looks 1092 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,800 Speaker 4: good because they're really solid when it comes to the 1093 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 4: wide receiver corps. They added some juice to the backfield 1094 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 4: with Tony Pollitt. I'm sure they'll continue to add to that. 1095 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 4: And then they beefed up the offensive line. So as 1096 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 4: Brian Callahan makes his debut as an NFL head coach 1097 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 4: with his dad Bill Callahan tutoring the offensive line, Yeah, 1098 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 4: the Tennessee Titans look like they're well positioned to kind 1099 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 4: of bounce back from a very disappointing campaign last year. 1100 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and with Derek Henry leaving going to the Baltimore Ravens, 1101 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,240 Speaker 2: we may see a different kind of offense there in Tennessee, 1102 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 2: more of a passing first offense rather than a run 1103 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 2: first offense. 1104 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 3: I don't think you'll see that part of it. 1105 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 4: I think what you want to do is you want 1106 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,879 Speaker 4: to be balanced enough that you can do both. 1107 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,279 Speaker 3: You can run it, you can throw it. 1108 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 4: But with a young quarterback, you still want to lean 1109 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,440 Speaker 4: into the running game while he's kind of learning how 1110 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 4: to do it. But when you do pass, you want 1111 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 4: to have guys that are dependable and reliable. He now 1112 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 4: has that because he has two Pro Bowl caliber players 1113 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:55,240 Speaker 4: on the perimeter. 1114 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 2: Okay, he got four years for ninety two million dollars, 1115 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 2: including a fifty million guaranteed. That's what Gavin Ridley got. 1116 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 2: Tennessee beat out Jacksonville or Jacksonville. They beat out New England, 1117 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 2: two teams that really looked like they were the favorites 1118 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,320 Speaker 2: to get Calvin Ridley. But it's crazy because it looked 1119 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 2: like from the day one that he wasn't going anywhere. Really, 1120 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 2: the point is, if he would have signed an extension 1121 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:22,440 Speaker 2: with Jacksonville before four o'clock in the afternoon last Wednesday, 1122 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 2: and that starts the NFL's new league year. That would 1123 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 2: become a second round pick. Otherwise it would have been 1124 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 2: a third round pick in the draft. And the trade 1125 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 2: situation because the Jags agreed to send two picks, a 1126 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 2: fifth rounder in twenty twenty three and a conditional pick 1127 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, which held up Ridley's free agency. 1128 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 2: So it's kind of a bit of a mess there. 1129 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 2: But right now, he called their bluff and he won, 1130 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 2: so big time money for Calvin Ridley. And look, you know, 1131 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 2: I get it he was gambling, But I just I 1132 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 2: see the talent kind of trumps everything in the world 1133 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 2: of sports. You know, if it was a second tier 1134 00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 2: player who was suspended for game to be a real 1135 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 2: good shot, that guy would never seen a light of 1136 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,320 Speaker 2: day in the NFL. Again, the fact that I believe 1137 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,280 Speaker 2: he's the best wide receiver in the National Football League. 1138 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,839 Speaker 2: He was suspended for gambling. All right, we'll bring him back. 1139 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 2: You know, he's a great player. Let him play. The 1140 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 2: fans want to see him. We need him in the league, agreed. 1141 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 4: No, it's a different time because when the league decided 1142 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 4: to get in bed with the gambling entities. 1143 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 3: However you do it, fan dual. 1144 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:29,839 Speaker 4: DraftKings, the casinos, bet MGM, and those things. It kind 1145 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 4: of lifted some of the taboo around gambling. Though the 1146 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 4: league doesn't want his players and employees predicted in gambling, 1147 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 4: they have kind of opened the door by forming these 1148 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,399 Speaker 4: partnerships with gambling entities. So it's no longer looked at 1149 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,160 Speaker 4: like it used to be looked at in the past. 1150 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 4: But let's be honest, let's think about it, like there 1151 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 4: be people that have been involved in gambling in the 1152 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 4: league who were great players. Alex Kris, Paul Hornig. I 1153 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 4: think they both served one year suspensions for their involvement 1154 00:53:59,080 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 4: in gambling. 1155 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 2: But they worked the casinos. I guess they were gambling 1156 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,839 Speaker 2: while they worked there. But still, in all I think 1157 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,359 Speaker 2: there's a completely different situation. But I'll tell you why. 1158 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,799 Speaker 2: I don't think they were gambling on games. There's a 1159 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 2: different thing. We could play slot machines, play cards over there. 1160 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,239 Speaker 2: They were kind of like hosts, if you will, in casinos, 1161 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,360 Speaker 2: and the fact that they were involved in a gambling 1162 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 2: entity that's why they were suspended. I think it's a 1163 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 2: different animal maybe I'm wrong. 1164 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it may be, but I think the 1165 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 4: lines are blurry now, and I think the league has 1166 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,360 Speaker 4: been very clear that they don't want their players doing it, 1167 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 4: but they also have formed these partnerships, like just look 1168 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,359 Speaker 4: around and look at where the money's coming from and 1169 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 4: how gambling is attached to all of these leagues. Now, 1170 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 4: I think what you're getting, you're getting players who the 1171 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 4: lines are blurred from fantasy football to real football, because 1172 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 4: you got to remember, these kids grew up in the 1173 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,240 Speaker 4: fantasy football era where they played fantasy football with their people, 1174 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,400 Speaker 4: and they've been able to do it on apps like 1175 00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:01,239 Speaker 4: Yahoo and those things forever. I'm not saying that they 1176 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 4: don't know the difference between real gambling in those things. 1177 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 4: I'm saying they grew up at a time where you 1178 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 4: always talked about games you played and participated in games 1179 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,880 Speaker 4: that did it. And Calvin Ridley and others who have 1180 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,719 Speaker 4: been pinched and jammed up by those things, I think 1181 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,520 Speaker 4: they would probably tell you, like, what's the big deal, 1182 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 4: even though the league would say it compromises the integrity 1183 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:22,919 Speaker 4: of the game. 1184 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,880 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's say player A in the National Football League, 1185 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,759 Speaker 2: you can't gamble or bet within the premises of the 1186 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,879 Speaker 2: of the facility. Correct. In other words, I can't take 1187 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,840 Speaker 2: out my phone in the clubhouse and locker room and gamble, 1188 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 2: but I could go home again on my phone and 1189 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,399 Speaker 2: bet on an NFL game if if I'm a player, right, 1190 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:42,719 Speaker 2: you could do that. 1191 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 4: You can't bet. You can't bet on the NFL. You 1192 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,799 Speaker 4: could like the lines of blurry because like, you can't 1193 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,839 Speaker 4: bet on the NFL, but you can place wagers on 1194 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,240 Speaker 4: other things. And for players, the lines are you can't 1195 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,879 Speaker 4: do it in and around NFL facilities, but you can 1196 00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,200 Speaker 4: do it at home if it's not there. There are 1197 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 4: a lot of different rules that players have to educate 1198 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 4: themselves on in terms of what they can and what 1199 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 4: they can't do. 1200 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 3: Like, for instance, and if if NFL. 1201 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:12,279 Speaker 4: Employees go to Vegas, they're not allowed to really be 1202 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,360 Speaker 4: in sportsbook. They're not allowed to go. Even if I 1203 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 4: wanted to just go to the sportsbook to watch the game, 1204 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,800 Speaker 4: I can't do that because of those things. 1205 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,919 Speaker 2: And so what would happen if you were caught there? 1206 00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 2: Find those job? 1207 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 3: For me? No, as an employee, I would lose my job. 1208 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 4: So you can't you can't go up in there and 1209 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 4: do those kinds of things like in season, out of 1210 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 4: season or whatever, and they really don't like it when 1211 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,840 Speaker 4: their players are in the casino playing card games or 1212 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,240 Speaker 4: anything like that, because the look is not the optics 1213 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,359 Speaker 4: are not great when it comes to the NFL and 1214 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 4: having their players there. But how can you tell players 1215 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,920 Speaker 4: not to go there and do those things when the 1216 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,960 Speaker 4: league is taking a bunch of money there. So when 1217 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,200 Speaker 4: I talk about the lines being blurry, it's blurry because 1218 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 4: the league for after for years kind of like frowning 1219 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 4: upon the practice of dealing with gambling. They've opened it 1220 00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 4: up because the money was so significant that now you 1221 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 4: do have people that are confused as to why and 1222 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 4: what they can do and what they can't do. 1223 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 2: Okay, I got a question. I'm an NFL player. On 1224 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 2: a Saturday, we get on the plane, we go to 1225 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 2: the visiting city, getting ready for Sunday's game. I'm in 1226 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 2: my hotel room. There's a college football game Saturday night. 1227 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 2: I'll get on my phone. I'm betting on that game. 1228 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 2: Number one. How do they find out if I did that? 1229 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 2: Number two? Is it legal? And number three? Maybe I 1230 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,400 Speaker 2: throw in an NFL game there as well. I'm in 1231 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 2: my hotel room by myself. Who's gonna know I'm on 1232 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 2: my phone. Can they find out NFL games? 1233 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, they can find out, Like that's easy, like the 1234 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 4: casinos and all those things can track it, like IP 1235 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 4: addresses and those things. Because when you register, you get 1236 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 4: a register in your full name, and so anytime you 1237 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,920 Speaker 4: register and it's the NFL player like, it's easy to 1238 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 4: ding and flag and pop up. 1239 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't think it's one of those. 1240 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 4: Things that you can sneak and get away, Like you 1241 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 4: may get away for a little bit, but at some 1242 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 4: point they're gonna track you down. There's too much stuff 1243 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 4: of leaving a digital footprint that will expose yourself to 1244 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 4: being look to doing what you shouldn't be doing when 1245 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 4: it comes to gambling. So no, you can't deal with 1246 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 4: NFL games. And it's still murky on some of the 1247 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 4: things that you can do, because I be honest with 1248 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 4: you go through it and you take all the training. 1249 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,160 Speaker 4: They try and make it as clear as possible, but 1250 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 4: it's not one hundred percent clear incoherent in terms of. 1251 00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 3: What you can do. 1252 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 4: So I would say the best method and approach is 1253 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,560 Speaker 4: to not to engage in it at all because it's 1254 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,760 Speaker 4: not any that you can participate in one thing whatever. 1255 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:34,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's certainly not worth it. 1256 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 4: And the suspensions are look, man, they're lengthy there, they're 1257 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 4: very punitive. 1258 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,440 Speaker 2: You're exactly right. I just you know, it is crazy, 1259 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,280 Speaker 2: very murky, as you say, it certainly is. But any doubt, 1260 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 2: just don't do it at all. That's the best advice 1261 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 2: you can get. If you have any doubts, just don't 1262 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 2: do it.

Now, let's talk about what's going 1282 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,959 Speaker 2: on here with the college college athletics and the college administrators. 1283 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:55,800 Speaker 2: Obviously of long call for federal legislation to regulate nil name, 1284 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,120 Speaker 2: image and likeness. They're going to get these deals legislated 1285 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 2: nation and wide, and so far they haven't had much success. 1286 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 2: All Right, this past week there was a congressional hearing 1287 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:10,840 Speaker 2: went into the college athletic unionization efforts and I roundtable 1288 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,200 Speaker 2: all that. Nick Shaban was there. Nick Shaban made a speech. 1289 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 2: He got up to talk. He said, and I'm quoting 1290 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 2: right now, it's whoever wants to pay the most money, 1291 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 2: raised the most money by the best players, by the 1292 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 2: most players, is going to have the best opportunity to win. 1293 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 2: I don't think that's the spirit of college athletics. And 1294 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 2: I guess that's why he basically said, huh, I've had 1295 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 2: enough on quitting and his wife, Terry, came out and said, Hey, 1296 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 2: all the things I believed in for all the years, 1297 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 2: fifty years of coaching with my wife no longer existing 1298 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 2: college athletics. That was a red alert that we really 1299 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 2: are creating a circumstance here that is not beneficial to 1300 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 2: the development of young people. All right, so he's out, 1301 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 2: he's no longer coaching. I get it. And look, if 1302 01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 2: I'm a coach, I don't think I want to go 1303 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,479 Speaker 2: out there and recruit a kid. The kid's going to say, coach, 1304 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 2: I got two questions for you. How am I going 1305 01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 2: to play? And how much am I going to get? 1306 01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,880 Speaker 2: And that's basically what's going on right now, buck, isn't it. 1307 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:02,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there are a lot of things that 1308 01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 4: are going on with it now. More than ever, kids 1309 01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 4: feel like they're entitled to playing time, and if they 1310 01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 4: don't get the playing time, then they bounce, they go 1311 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 4: to another situation. You couple that with the fact that 1312 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 4: people are getting paid. It's a lot different for coaches 1313 01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,960 Speaker 4: now than it's ever been. That's me just putting the 1314 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 4: fact out there. Regardless of whether we want kids to 1315 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 4: get played and get all their nil money and those 1316 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 4: things what is happening the coaches and the values that 1317 01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 4: you teach the team. It's increasingly becoming more difficult to 1318 01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 4: teach those when it is becoming more me centric, particularly 1319 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,800 Speaker 4: at the collegiate level. While everyone would say, like, hey, 1320 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 4: coaches have benefited from a long time from the system 1321 01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,000 Speaker 4: as it used to be constructed, dude, it's a different time. 1322 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,920 Speaker 4: For Nick Saban, it's different because I've not only heard him, 1323 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 4: I've talked to coaches who've talked about it. How challenging 1324 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,160 Speaker 4: it can be when the backup quarterback or the backup 1325 01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 4: running back wants to come upstairs and they need more money, 1326 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,560 Speaker 4: they want to jump in the portal in those things, 1327 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 4: it just makes it hard to kind of build the 1328 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 4: continuity that you've had in the past. But to each 1329 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:12,040 Speaker 4: his own, players do have the empowerment, they do have 1330 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,800 Speaker 4: the leverage when it comes to being able to leave. 1331 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 4: But we're also seeing that a lot of players that 1332 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,560 Speaker 4: are jumping into the portal and doing those things, a 1333 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 4: lot of them are dying in the portal because no 1334 01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 4: one is picking them up and saving them. 1335 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,000 Speaker 3: They just kind of find their ways of. 1336 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,240 Speaker 4: Transfer and they never get back to the level where 1337 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 4: they were it's a changing time in a different time, 1338 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 4: and the playing field isn't level. Because you have the 1339 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,400 Speaker 4: big schools, they have all the money, they can do 1340 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 4: it differently than some of the smaller schools and so 1341 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 4: it is just a challenge all around. 1342 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 2: You hit it right on the head. Now, Look, I 1343 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 2: think you and I both agree that players really do 1344 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 2: need to get paid. What they bring to the university 1345 01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 2: is ridiculous. I mean the increase enrollment, they sell, merchandise 1346 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:52,840 Speaker 2: that can exposeure, they get on TV, whatever it is. 1347 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,520 Speaker 2: They need to get paid and they're working. I mean 1348 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,400 Speaker 2: they're working people, they really are. I don't think that 1349 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 2: have to be unionized that the Dartmouth basketball team is 1350 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 2: trying to do, but I think they you need to 1351 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 2: get paid because they're putting extra time and effort and 1352 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,920 Speaker 2: the university's benefiting from it. But it's not necessarily based 1353 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 2: on talent or the sport that they're in. I think 1354 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 2: it's based on the brand and based on social media. 1355 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 2: And that's the problem right there, because here's the question 1356 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 2: I have, and maybe you can help me with it, 1357 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,920 Speaker 2: because the question is should an athlete get paid for 1358 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 2: what he may do, or should an athlete get paid 1359 01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,920 Speaker 2: for what he's accomplished on the high school level, and 1360 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 2: that's why he's being recruited in the first place. A 1361 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 2: coach is recruiting on the five star athlete that he 1362 01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,400 Speaker 2: was in high school? Or are they recruiting this guy 1363 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 2: because I see his potential in this kid and he 1364 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 2: may do well. That's a big question, and that's the 1365 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 2: question I post coming in here. Is it potential or 1366 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 2: is it performance? That's the big question. 1367 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 4: I think it's a combination. It's a combination of the 1368 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 4: potential and the performance. Like the performance is what they've done, 1369 01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 4: but the potential is what you hope they will do. 1370 01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 4: And what you try to do is you try to 1371 01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,480 Speaker 4: look at all the factor's, height, weight, side, speed, all 1372 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,760 Speaker 4: of those things, and how much better can they be 1373 01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 4: at the next level. What you may see, though, is 1374 01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,520 Speaker 4: you may see teams not necessarily go hard after all 1375 01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,480 Speaker 4: those five stars, but try and find some guys that 1376 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:15,360 Speaker 4: are a little below. 1377 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,800 Speaker 3: The radar that are more likely to be around. 1378 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 4: It's hard now because a lot of guys are always 1379 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 4: looking for the next best opportunity. But the teams that 1380 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 4: are able to have continuity because they have guys that 1381 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 4: are around for three four or five years, those are 1382 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 4: gonna be the teams that rise to the top. 1383 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,840 Speaker 2: Amazing, it really is. There's so much to touch on. 1384 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 2: We just try to get the surface over here. We're 1385 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 2: going to continue with so much more.

Yeah, yeah, we have North Well be tight, be tight. 1483 01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,400 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, sorry, did I understand? 1484 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:16,760 Speaker 3: All right? 1485 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:16,840 Speaker 2: No? 1486 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 3: No, no, I find it interesting. 1487 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 4: I find it interesting with the Turney Attorney results on 1488 01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:25,800 Speaker 4: how that goes, I would say that, uh, the three 1489 01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:27,800 Speaker 4: that you named, I would just have Carolina's number one 1490 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,680 Speaker 4: seed in the West. Given the fact that they won 1491 01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 4: the ACC title, they made it to the Attorney Final, 1492 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 4: and those things, I would think that would have maybe 1493 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,559 Speaker 4: more significance than Attorney win, just because the regular season 1494 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 4: is the four resume. 1495 01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:40,320 Speaker 3: But right, we'll see. 1496 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 2: You know, it's could be interesting. I mean, I wouldn't 1497 01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 2: want to be in that committee answering the questions after 1498 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,519 Speaker 2: it's out tonight because basically there'll be some big time 1499 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,880 Speaker 2: questions to be answered. All right, then let's talk about 1500 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,760 Speaker 2: this now. College basketball, the portal season opens tomorrow, which 1501 01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 2: I find unbelievable. I mean, really and truly, You've got 1502 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 2: a kid, maybe maybe like Saint John's right now is 1503 01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 2: on the bubble because of what's happening now in the 1504 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 2: Big East. Saint John's on the bubble. Say Saint John's 1505 01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 2: not getting the tournament. You get a kid right now 1506 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 2: going to Rick Patino tour as a coach. I'm in 1507 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,280 Speaker 2: the portal. I'm out. I mean, it's crazy, it really is. 1508 01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 2: And the NC Double A rules now have been changed 1509 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,559 Speaker 2: back in December, multiple transfer athletes will deny the chance 1510 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,679 Speaker 2: to compete immediately. Now they were allowed by that federal 1511 01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 2: judge in West Virginia to play through the remainder of 1512 01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,719 Speaker 2: the academic year, and the ANC double A rules allow 1513 01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 2: underclassmen to transfer once without having to sit out a year. 1514 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 2: Why I don't know, I don't know. But an additional 1515 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,640 Speaker 2: transfer as that undergraduate generally requires the anti DOUBLEA to 1516 01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:37,720 Speaker 2: grant the waiver, allowing the athlete to compete immediately. It's unbelievable. 1517 01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:40,360 Speaker 2: It's like free agency on the college level. I don't 1518 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,800 Speaker 2: understand that at all. But to have the portal opening tomorrow, 1519 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,919 Speaker 2: I mean, teams that do not get in the tournament 1520 01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,360 Speaker 2: tonight tomorrow morning, these kids will be in the portal. Agreed. 1521 01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,559 Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. The whole thing is nuts. 1522 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,600 Speaker 4: I mean, look, man, I think it's gonna be a 1523 01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,640 Speaker 4: part of it, you know, Like I think that's just 1524 01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:00,679 Speaker 4: what it is. And I think you see more teams 1525 01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,840 Speaker 4: decline n I T invitations because they want to get 1526 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 4: on with next year's business. You will see a rush 1527 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,640 Speaker 4: of players into the portal. You'll see a bunch of 1528 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,880 Speaker 4: coaches encourage their players to get into the portal so 1529 01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:18,760 Speaker 4: they can start rebuilding their new teams. Look, we saw 1530 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,200 Speaker 4: that last year with North Carolina. They didn't make the tournament, 1531 01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,600 Speaker 4: declined the n T bid, and they went about the 1532 01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 4: process of flipping their entire roster so they can be 1533 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:31,040 Speaker 4: a much better team this year. In the show, more 1534 01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:35,120 Speaker 4: teams are taking that approach because they're not seeing they're 1535 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:36,520 Speaker 4: not seeing the benefits. 1536 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:37,000 Speaker 3: Of playing in the n I team. 1537 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,400 Speaker 4: When you know that team that may make some noise 1538 01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,719 Speaker 4: in the n I t that team is not coming 1539 01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,840 Speaker 4: back next year. You're going to try and make them 1540 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,439 Speaker 4: better as a coach, or they're going to try and 1541 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,120 Speaker 4: find better opportunities for their individual selves. 1542 01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,320 Speaker 2: Okay. The transfer windough for men's and women's basketball runs 1543 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,400 Speaker 2: from tomorrow to May the first. Okay, you're close to 1544 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:58,160 Speaker 2: the situation college athletics with coaches and things like that. 1545 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,600 Speaker 2: I'm a coach. I got to my player after the 1546 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 2: season is over today and my team did not make 1547 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 2: the NCAA Tournament and we may get an n T bid, 1548 01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,320 Speaker 2: but you know, I'm not gonna go. It doesn't make 1549 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,320 Speaker 2: a difference to me. So I got to a player, said, look, 1550 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,479 Speaker 2: let me tell you something, Joe, You're not going to 1551 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:13,880 Speaker 2: play next year. If I were you, I put my 1552 01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,320 Speaker 2: name in the portal. Is that how it works or 1553 01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,599 Speaker 2: to plo. The player comes to the coach at times 1554 01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,400 Speaker 2: and the player says, coach, I haven't played much this year. 1555 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 2: I want to be in the portal. I'm going through 1556 01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,200 Speaker 2: the portal. How does that work? 1557 01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 4: Every team has exit meetings with every player, and at 1558 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:33,360 Speaker 4: that time, as a coach, you would tell the player 1559 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:38,160 Speaker 4: how you evaluated their current season, what you want them 1560 01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 4: to work on for next season, and what their role 1561 01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,080 Speaker 4: might be next season if they return. 1562 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,679 Speaker 3: At that At that in that meeting, it might. 1563 01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 4: Also be a chance for you to tell the player, hey, man, 1564 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,439 Speaker 4: it may be best for you to jump on the 1565 01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,480 Speaker 4: port and see if you can find a better situation elsewhere. 1566 01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,720 Speaker 4: The player may say, hey, you know what, coach, I 1567 01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 4: appreciate everything that you've done, but I'm gonna go and 1568 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:01,479 Speaker 4: explore and see if I provide a better situation for me. 1569 01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,479 Speaker 4: But everybody will have these hard or heart meetings starting 1570 01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:08,679 Speaker 4: on Monday, so you can determine the best course of action. 1571 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,639 Speaker 4: One as the program, but two as an individual player. 1572 01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,599 Speaker 2: Okay, so every coach at NCAA Division one basketball men's, 1573 01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:18,000 Speaker 2: we'll sit with the men's for a second. Will be given. 1574 01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 2: I guess an online list of portal candidates beginning this week. 1575 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:25,400 Speaker 2: Is that how it works? In other words, I say, 1576 01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:29,040 Speaker 2: I play for university X. I'm not happy. I want 1577 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,400 Speaker 2: to go to a different school forever. The reason maybe 1578 01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:33,840 Speaker 2: I'm homesick. I want to go to a college near 1579 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 2: my home. So I put my name in that portal. 1580 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,559 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess have the file online and they 1581 01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,320 Speaker 2: put my name in there, so it'll say Joe Jones 1582 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 2: College X six seven senior, whatever it may be, and 1583 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 2: then every college coach of Division one gets a copy 1584 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:49,800 Speaker 2: of that and they could go after that kid. Is 1585 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 2: that how it works? 1586 01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, like once you put once, you put your thing 1587 01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 4: into portal. Like their people in every program that are 1588 01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,840 Speaker 4: checking the portal so they see who's in there. They 1589 01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,519 Speaker 4: evaluate the players, and if they find someone that is 1590 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,200 Speaker 4: a potential fit, they'll move on them. That's how it 1591 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 4: always has been. 1592 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,720 Speaker 3: That's that's kind of what it is. 1593 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,040 Speaker 4: And so what you're trying to tell players is, hey man, 1594 01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 4: you can jump in there, but it's no guarantee that 1595 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 4: it's gonna work out for you. It's just one of 1596 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,120 Speaker 4: the things that you have to kind of go through 1597 01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,519 Speaker 4: and do. I think it's tough though. I think it's 1598 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 4: tough on a lot of players, and I think it's 1599 01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,040 Speaker 4: tough on coaches trying to figure out what's best. 1600 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, these coaches talk about I want to create a culture. 1601 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 2: You can't create a culture in this day and age 1602 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 2: because the coaches are leaving. They leave all the time. 1603 01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 2: But what about players they're leaving? What happens if I 1604 01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,599 Speaker 2: put my name in the portal and I'm not picked, 1605 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,559 Speaker 2: no college wants me, then then I come back to 1606 01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:42,679 Speaker 2: where I was, or the coach says, wait a minute, 1607 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,040 Speaker 2: you don't want to be here. You put your name 1608 01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:45,720 Speaker 2: in the portal, I don't want you anymore. Does that 1609 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:46,479 Speaker 2: happen as well? 1610 01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 4: It can't happen, you know. That's the chance that you 1611 01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 4: take when you jump in. You jump in the porter. 1612 01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:54,400 Speaker 4: There's no guarantee that there's gonna be a spot for 1613 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 4: you when you return. That's why you tell kids tread 1614 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,160 Speaker 4: lightly when it comes to it, because what you're doing 1615 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:06,280 Speaker 4: is you're leaving a sure spot for an opportunity. But 1616 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 4: you know if the opportunity is going to be better, if 1617 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:09,400 Speaker 4: at all. 1618 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,439 Speaker 2: And I could see why coaches getting out of it. 1619 01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 2: I mean, a guy like Jay Wright, who had success 1620 01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:15,960 Speaker 2: in Villanova. He's no longer coaching. He's on TV right 1621 01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,479 Speaker 2: now doing analysts work on the CBS, and I see 1622 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,360 Speaker 2: him there. But look, it's like recruiting never ends. I mean, 1623 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 2: you're going out there looking at junior college and high 1624 01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,559 Speaker 2: school kids, and then when the portal starts, you got 1625 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 2: to do this whole thing all over again because you 1626 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:30,960 Speaker 2: have no idea how many spots you're gonna have open 1627 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 2: on your roster. If these kids get picked up, you 1628 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 2: get three kids picked up on the portal from your roster, 1629 01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 2: you're screwed. You get your stuff from square one again. 1630 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 2: So again that term building a culture, you can't. You 1631 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:47,200 Speaker 2: can't build a culture. Your starting team is gone. It's crazy. 1632 01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,519 Speaker 2: Whose idea was it to do this, this portal thing. 1633 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 2: I don't get it. It's free agency on the college level, 1634 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,559 Speaker 2: and I think it's stupid. I think it's crazy. 1635 01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 4: Well, but it's always been good for coaches, but not 1636 01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,559 Speaker 4: for the players. The players were restricted. Coaches could leave 1637 01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 4: at any time, but players were forced to stay at 1638 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,880 Speaker 4: a university. And even though you tell them a pick 1639 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,720 Speaker 4: the university based on the academic and athletic experience that 1640 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,679 Speaker 4: you want to have a lot of that is shaped 1641 01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,080 Speaker 4: by who the coach is. Coaches have been leaving left 1642 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 4: and right. They always leave, They leave at any time, 1643 01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,640 Speaker 4: at the drop of a hat, and they needed to 1644 01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:26,639 Speaker 4: have some protections put in so the players could make 1645 01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,320 Speaker 4: a move because when a new coach comes in, what 1646 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:30,960 Speaker 4: does a new coach do? He brings his own players, 1647 01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,400 Speaker 4: so it messes up your experience when a coach bounces. 1648 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,559 Speaker 4: They needed to have that ability to be able to 1649 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,840 Speaker 4: kind of move around and do some things. But they 1650 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:41,640 Speaker 4: also need to. 1651 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:45,880 Speaker 3: Have enough awareness self awareness to. 1652 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:49,080 Speaker 4: Understand when the situation is good for them, when the 1653 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 4: situation should be one that they should explore, and what 1654 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:59,200 Speaker 4: is out there, what are the potential i'll say, detrimental 1655 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 4: factors that that could happen if they do decide to enter, uh, 1656 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 4: you know, into the portal. 1657 01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,000 Speaker 2: Crazy, It really is.

All right, But you played 1754 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,880 Speaker 2: in the NFL. Was there ever a person or persons 1755 01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:35,360 Speaker 2: on a roster that you played on that you just 1756 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,960 Speaker 2: couldn't stand? You couldn't stand it. You couldn't stand looking 1757 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,040 Speaker 2: at the guy, you know, but you got to kind 1758 01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:43,479 Speaker 2: of suck it up because he's a teammate. You got 1759 01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,760 Speaker 2: to fight together in the trenches. But still in all 1760 01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 2: you never wanted to go out party with the guy, 1761 01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,080 Speaker 2: never went socializing with the guy. You just couldn't stand 1762 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,519 Speaker 2: the guy for whatever the reason. There had to be 1763 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,920 Speaker 2: someone somewhere in your career in the National Football League. 1764 01:21:58,520 --> 01:21:59,200 Speaker 3: No, not like that. 1765 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 4: I mean, I think I think we all hang with 1766 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:01,920 Speaker 4: our own different people in. 1767 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 3: The locker room. 1768 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,519 Speaker 4: It's unrealistic to spread fifty three years in the locker 1769 01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,679 Speaker 4: room to all get along. So I didn't have anybody 1770 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,120 Speaker 4: that I wouldly hated. I think there are guys that 1771 01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,240 Speaker 4: you gravitate tours that you're more friendly with, but no 1772 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 4: one that I had to disdain for that if I 1773 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:17,840 Speaker 4: saw them today, I'll be like, oh my god, I 1774 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:19,240 Speaker 4: can't stand and let's go on the other side of 1775 01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,360 Speaker 4: the street. I don't have that, and I don't think 1776 01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:24,040 Speaker 4: most people have that. It's uncommon to have something like 1777 01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:25,000 Speaker 4: that in the locker room. 1778 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:29,160 Speaker 2: I would think there's some players somewhere that have that 1779 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:32,559 Speaker 2: feeling towards Aaron Rodgers. Maybe I'm mistaken. I just think 1780 01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 2: that he's the kind of guy you say, you know what, 1781 01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,800 Speaker 2: play the game and shut up. Because he came out 1782 01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,880 Speaker 2: this week, well basically it wasn't him, but it was 1783 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,280 Speaker 2: in the New York Times the other day they reported 1784 01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:46,479 Speaker 2: that outside of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior has 1785 01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,200 Speaker 2: now made overtures to the Jets quarterback to be his 1786 01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 2: running mate for this November's presidential election. Rogers obviously has 1787 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,320 Speaker 2: not commented yet, but the two have apparently gone hiking together, 1788 01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:01,400 Speaker 2: and the Jets quarterback and former progress Minnesota governor Jesse 1789 01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 2: Ventura are the top on Kennedy's list. It's unbelievable that 1790 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,120 Speaker 2: he would even consider Aaron Rodgers. And here's the question 1791 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:13,559 Speaker 2: I have, and could Aaron Rodgers technically do this? You know, 1792 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:18,320 Speaker 2: the campaign season kind of gets crazy around July, and 1793 01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,040 Speaker 2: that happens to be when the NFL training camps open up. 1794 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,839 Speaker 2: And in the Washington Post, I had this little segment 1795 01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:26,599 Speaker 2: over here just the other day. I checked it out. 1796 01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,639 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, the VP, she had thirty six in person 1797 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:34,840 Speaker 2: events and more than fifty online events during the quarantine. 1798 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:39,080 Speaker 2: And Mike Pence, who's former vice president, had sixty three 1799 01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,240 Speaker 2: in person events and extremely busy as running mates back 1800 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:46,280 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. There's probably no way on God's green 1801 01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,320 Speaker 2: Earth that Aaron Rodgers to keep a fraction of that 1802 01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 2: pace and place starting quarterback for the Jets. I don't 1803 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:53,760 Speaker 2: understand this. It's one or the other. 1804 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 4: I gotta believe, yeah, it's one of the other. I 1805 01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:00,599 Speaker 4: think this is probably one that kind of got away 1806 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:04,400 Speaker 4: from the media. I think obviously like he may make overtures, 1807 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 4: like Robert Kenny Junior may make overtures, but we've never 1808 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,840 Speaker 4: heard Aaron say that, Oh yeah, I'm a run for VP. 1809 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,200 Speaker 3: It wouldn't be a doable deal. 1810 01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:13,680 Speaker 4: He would have to move away from football, and if 1811 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 4: he has political aspirations, he would have to pursue those things. 1812 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 4: Right now, I can't see that happening, But a more 1813 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 4: power to him if he decides that's what he wants 1814 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:23,360 Speaker 4: to do. 1815 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:24,719 Speaker 3: I just will see it in the cars. 1816 01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 2: You know, he's a great quarterback. He's a Hall of 1817 01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:29,280 Speaker 2: Fame quarterback, there's no doubt about that. But he's got 1818 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,320 Speaker 2: some delusions here these and narcissistis he loves himself. He 1819 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,679 Speaker 2: loves hearing himself talk. I mean, when he was deciding 1820 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,679 Speaker 2: where he's going to play, he stayed in a darkness 1821 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:38,880 Speaker 2: street treat for a four or five days and a 1822 01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:41,599 Speaker 2: hut no light in the cave. Really, then he's talking 1823 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 2: about being the host of Jeopardy. Now he wants to 1824 01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:45,960 Speaker 2: be running in the White House. Perhaps, I don't know. 1825 01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,000 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. But here's the deal with him. 1826 01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,519 Speaker 2: But I mean, and that's fine. You know, what he's 1827 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,479 Speaker 2: done in the past is final, except the things that 1828 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 2: he has said can make you crazy. In private conversations, 1829 01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:00,320 Speaker 2: he shared some really deranged conspiracy theories about twenty twelve 1830 01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 2: in the Sandy Hook School shooting not being real and 1831 01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:09,000 Speaker 2: a reporter for CNN, Pam Pamela or Pamela Brown, I'm sorry, 1832 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 2: one of the journalists writing the piece. She was covering 1833 01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,519 Speaker 2: the Kentucky Derby for CNN back in twenty thirteen when 1834 01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,320 Speaker 2: she was introduced to Aaron Rodgers and Rogers obviously at 1835 01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 2: the time was the Green Bay Packers. This was at 1836 01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:23,320 Speaker 2: a post derby party and hearing that she was a 1837 01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 2: journalist with CNN, Aaron Rodgers began attacking the news media 1838 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 2: why for covering up important stories In his mind as 1839 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,960 Speaker 2: he said, he brought up the tragic killing of twenty 1840 01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 2: children and six adults by a gunman, as you remember, 1841 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 2: at Sandy Hook Elementary School, claiming to get this it 1842 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:44,240 Speaker 2: was actually a government inside job and the media was 1843 01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,840 Speaker 2: intentionally ignoring it. These are the things that he's come 1844 01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 2: up with. Such conspiracy theories were also later the center 1845 01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,120 Speaker 2: of lawsuits obviously brought up by the victims' families, and 1846 01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:55,720 Speaker 2: they were sued by the theorist Alex Jones, if you 1847 01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,280 Speaker 2: remember on that matter. So Aaron Rodgers has his own 1848 01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:02,240 Speaker 2: warmth mind about certain things with COVID vaccine and things 1849 01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 2: like that, I'm not so certain he'd be that healthy 1850 01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,400 Speaker 2: of a candidate to be in the White House either. 1851 01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,400 Speaker 2: I just don't think he would be well. 1852 01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 3: I mean, just in pens. 1853 01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 4: It depends on if they're faction of folks that believe 1854 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,479 Speaker 4: some of the same stuff that he believes in. That 1855 01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,919 Speaker 4: ultimately would determine whether he would be a viable candidate, 1856 01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,720 Speaker 4: because that's like people kind of vote based on like 1857 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,599 Speaker 4: their mentality and mindset, and if there are enough people 1858 01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:27,919 Speaker 4: that kind of believe in the things that Ann Rogers 1859 01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:31,400 Speaker 4: has been out here discussing and the conspiracy theories in 1860 01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,519 Speaker 4: those things, then he'll have an opportunity to boost his 1861 01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:37,439 Speaker 4: running makes case and Robert Kennedy Jr. 1862 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 3: Look man, There've been. 1863 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 4: A ton of former athletes, former football players that have 1864 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 4: kind of made their way into political space. So it's 1865 01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:50,960 Speaker 4: not something that can't be done. We saw Jack Kemp 1866 01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,000 Speaker 4: be able to pull it off. We've seen others. Cory 1867 01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:58,439 Speaker 4: Simon is a former Indianapolis Colt Scott is a Maybe 1868 01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,920 Speaker 4: House Representatives center down in Florida. So they've been others 1869 01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:03,920 Speaker 4: who've been able to do it. Aaron Ross. So it's 1870 01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:08,559 Speaker 4: not uncommon for a football player to elect to take 1871 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:12,240 Speaker 4: that path, that journey. We just haven't seen an active 1872 01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,000 Speaker 4: player like Aaron Rodgers decided to, Hey, that's what I 1873 01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:15,840 Speaker 4: want to pursue. 1874 01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:20,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, and please understand, I'm not against athletes or anyone 1875 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,360 Speaker 2: really running for a political office. I mean, as you say, 1876 01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,200 Speaker 2: it's been done before, and then some of them been 1877 01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:28,040 Speaker 2: very successful doing so. And one in particular coast to 1878 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,519 Speaker 2: mind all the time is Bill Bradley and basketball did it. 1879 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:32,920 Speaker 2: But the point is this that I just think that 1880 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,200 Speaker 2: his idea is and what he has done, and the 1881 01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,760 Speaker 2: fact that he's trying to juggle this and football at 1882 01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 2: the same time, to me, doesn't make any sense. And 1883 01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,599 Speaker 2: CNN went back and they had a person at CNN 1884 01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:47,240 Speaker 2: who recalled an interview several years ago that Aaron Rodgers claimed, quote, 1885 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 2: Sandy Hook never happened. All those children never existed, They 1886 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,519 Speaker 2: were all actors. Okay, that's what Aaron Rodgers has said, 1887 01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 2: according to someone from CNN. We'll see what happens there. 1888 01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,559 Speaker 2: But it's crazy what he has done. And I would 1889 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,160 Speaker 2: tell you right now, and I have no proof on this, 1890 01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:06,000 Speaker 2: and I haven't seen any results on it, but I 1891 01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:09,439 Speaker 2: would say the majority of the fans in Green Bay 1892 01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,719 Speaker 2: are probably pleased that he's gone. I don't think anybody 1893 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,800 Speaker 2: really misses him in Green Bay right now, especially this 1894 01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:19,960 Speaker 2: season that they had with their quarterback last year. I 1895 01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:23,000 Speaker 2: don't think Aaron Rodgers is really that missed much in 1896 01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:24,160 Speaker 2: Green Bay last year. 1897 01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:27,599 Speaker 4: He may not have been. It allowed him to do 1898 01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,360 Speaker 4: some different things. It allowed him to get the young 1899 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 4: guys on the field, It allowed mattln Floyd to run 1900 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:37,559 Speaker 4: his offense kind of unobstructed, and that that kind of 1901 01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,440 Speaker 4: helped the Packers evolve become a different kind of team. 1902 01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:43,799 Speaker 3: You like, all of that that stuff. 1903 01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 4: I think the team appears to be a little better 1904 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,360 Speaker 4: connected in terms of like from top to bottom, everyone 1905 01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,960 Speaker 4: getting along, being on the same page. All of that 1906 01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,080 Speaker 4: stuff matters. Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback. He'd go 1907 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,880 Speaker 4: down as an all time legend. But for the Packers 1908 01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:00,720 Speaker 4: it might have been time. It might have been time 1909 01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,559 Speaker 4: to move on from him and allow their young players 1910 01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:04,800 Speaker 4: to kind of grow and take over. 1911 01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,519 Speaker 2: I would say this. I mean, Aaron Rodgers, as you say, 1912 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 2: is a great quarterback, and he's a Hall of Famer, 1913 01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 2: But I think Aaron Rodgers loves himself more than he 1914 01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 2: loves the game of football. And I think right now, 1915 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:21,200 Speaker 2: if you notice, this announcement came out in the middle 1916 01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:24,000 Speaker 2: of free agency, and I think Aaron Rodgers bumped the 1917 01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,400 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousin's story. And I think that's 1918 01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,559 Speaker 2: what he likes to do. He's the center of attention. 1919 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:30,720 Speaker 2: He likes to get that look. He's not the only 1920 01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:33,400 Speaker 2: athlete that has done that. I get it. But there's 1921 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,240 Speaker 2: something about the way he does things and his warped 1922 01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:40,400 Speaker 2: mind just rubs a lot of people the wrong way. 1923 01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,800 Speaker 2: As far as I'm concerned, I kind of enjoy it. 1924 01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,600 Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, his tremendous father for us to 1925 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:47,840 Speaker 2: talk about on the radio. That's what it is. But 1926 01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:50,720 Speaker 2: I think that if Rodgers goes in this direction with 1927 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:52,800 Speaker 2: politics and wants to go to the White House, I 1928 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:56,400 Speaker 2: think he's short changing both RFK Junior and he's short 1929 01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:58,800 Speaker 2: changing the Jets. You can't have both. You have to 1930 01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 2: do one or the other. I think he'd be very 1931 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,479 Speaker 2: selfish for his teammates to do that. I mean, you 1932 01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:07,160 Speaker 2: either full time football or full time full time politics. 1933 01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:09,600 Speaker 2: You can't do both. And I think that he'd be 1934 01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:13,040 Speaker 2: wise to make a decision real soon, because I think 1935 01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:15,920 Speaker 2: that decision is going to be made by RFK Jr. 1936 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:19,160 Speaker 2: On Wednesday, I think Wednesday or the twenty sixth of 1937 01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:23,840 Speaker 2: March in Oakland. That's when Kennedy told CNN that he's 1938 01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 2: going to make make his decision whose running mate's going 1939 01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:29,559 Speaker 2: to be Jesse Ventura or Aaron Rodgers. I mean, I 1940 01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:31,840 Speaker 2: think you got to say, look, is he going to 1941 01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:33,479 Speaker 2: be a football player or is he going to be 1942 01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 2: a politician. You can't have both Night Cannibal. 1943 01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:39,360 Speaker 4: So he has to make those decisions quickly because the 1944 01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 4: impacts the way the Jets would have to build out 1945 01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 4: their team. Quarterback is the most important position. They're trying 1946 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:49,840 Speaker 4: to put all these pieces around the quarterback. Presuming that 1947 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:52,599 Speaker 4: it to be Aaron Rodgers. How much does that impact 1948 01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:57,240 Speaker 4: their plan? So hopefully Aaron Rodgers makes a quick decision 1949 01:30:57,280 --> 01:31:01,040 Speaker 4: and whatever that is, he can live with it. Look, 1950 01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:03,960 Speaker 4: it came out of nowhere, but I am not surprised 1951 01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:10,000 Speaker 4: that someone has decided to kind of knock knock the 1952 01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:12,959 Speaker 4: door down, and we'll kind of just try to explore 1953 01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,920 Speaker 4: what Aaron Rodgers wants to do after his football playing 1954 01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:18,000 Speaker 4: days are all done. 1955 01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:21,439 Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna be unbelievable when Treny came starts 1956 01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:24,280 Speaker 2: in July, because I think the media is going to 1957 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:27,200 Speaker 2: be all over the place to try to find out 1958 01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:31,000 Speaker 2: about this quote miracle comeback from that torn acl of 1959 01:31:31,040 --> 01:31:33,960 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. Now if he runs for the vice presidents, 1960 01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 2: he's on the ticket for vice president. You know that 1961 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:41,479 Speaker 2: media circus of the torn acl will be nothing as 1962 01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,599 Speaker 2: compared to the national media that travels with every campaign. 1963 01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,040 Speaker 2: It's gonna be unbelievable, which I think would not be 1964 01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:50,800 Speaker 2: fair for the Jets, will not be fair for the 1965 01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:53,960 Speaker 2: National Football League. And more than that, talk about security. 1966 01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:57,599 Speaker 2: These have to be extra security required for Aaron Rodgers 1967 01:31:57,720 --> 01:31:59,800 Speaker 2: because of these reporters are to be following him with 1968 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,360 Speaker 2: a campaign. I don't see it happening. I don't see 1969 01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:04,400 Speaker 2: it happening. But I think this is exactly what he 1970 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:08,920 Speaker 2: wants because he's gotten center stage. That's what Aaron Rodgers wants. 1971 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,160 Speaker 2: He wants center station. We knew he'd never be the 1972 01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:13,639 Speaker 2: host of Jeopardy, but he wanted his name out there. 1973 01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:15,120 Speaker 2: By the way, I did watch it when he did. 1974 01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,760 Speaker 2: He hosted. He wasn't too bad. He wasn't too bad 1975 01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:19,519 Speaker 2: as a host. But the point is, I don't think 1976 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 2: he ever really wanted to be the host. 1977 01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:24,920 Speaker 4: Yeah maybe, I mean, I know he was someone who's 1978 01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,520 Speaker 4: very passionate about it, appeared to be very passionate about. 1979 01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:30,880 Speaker 3: Jeopardy and all things related to that. 1980 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,200 Speaker 4: Had an opportunity to go out there and guest hosts 1981 01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,200 Speaker 4: not necessarily conduct a full audition. 1982 01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:37,800 Speaker 3: But maybe he was a guest host for a week. 1983 01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:40,840 Speaker 4: They decided to go elsewhere when it came to naming 1984 01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:44,599 Speaker 4: the replacement for Alis Trebeck. But he is a guy 1985 01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:48,000 Speaker 4: who has very interest I am not surprised if he 1986 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:52,400 Speaker 4: does come out and say he has political aspirations. There's 1987 01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:57,360 Speaker 4: something about the political space where it can satisfy maybe 1988 01:32:57,400 --> 01:33:01,439 Speaker 4: your need to not only help people, to like a 1989 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,120 Speaker 4: voice of your opinion, say you're right, keep a track record, 1990 01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:07,599 Speaker 4: all those other things. Maybe that that kind of suits 1991 01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:09,920 Speaker 4: him and suits where he is now, where he wants 1992 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,000 Speaker 4: to be later in life. 1993 01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:13,240 Speaker 2: Well, well, I'll tell you this much. He may have 1994 01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:15,280 Speaker 2: political aspirations, but it won't be on the ticket for 1995 01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,759 Speaker 2: the vice presidency because my man, and you're a man, 1996 01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,439 Speaker 2: the eye man tells us the decision was made. Yes, 1997 01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:23,000 Speaker 2: Is that correct, I man, they made the decision yesterday 1998 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:23,559 Speaker 2: for the ticket. 1999 01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, VP didn't didn't want to interrupt you guys, but yeah, no, no. 2000 01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,280 Speaker 2: That's fine. But you still may run for some sort 2001 01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:31,200 Speaker 2: of an office, but not on the VP ticket. 2002 01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:34,600 Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, as of yesterday, the RFK didn't announce that 2003 01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:37,599 Speaker 5: Nicole Shanahan is his running mate. And I don't think 2004 01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:40,400 Speaker 5: there's any relation to Kyle Shanahan or any of that. 2005 01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:42,680 Speaker 5: But it wouldn't be the first time that a Shanahan 2006 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:44,679 Speaker 5: foiled Aaron Rodgers' plans. 2007 01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:47,679 Speaker 2: You'll say that, Well, I will tell you this much. Honestly, 2008 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:50,160 Speaker 2: you know, I think Aaron Rodgers got what he wanted. 2009 01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:53,840 Speaker 2: He superseded the Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins news story 2010 01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:55,680 Speaker 2: just the other day, and he was out there for 2011 01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:57,840 Speaker 2: a while. And that's what he does. I mean, And 2012 01:33:57,880 --> 01:33:59,320 Speaker 2: it's not going to be the last we heard of 2013 01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:02,280 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. But you know what, the more that he 2014 01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:05,679 Speaker 2: does things like this, the more Jimmy Kimmel attacks him, 2015 01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:08,400 Speaker 2: which I think is great because Jimmy Kimmel and he 2016 01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:11,519 Speaker 2: have gone like oil and water because he said that 2017 01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:15,880 Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel was involved with Jeffrey Epstein for a while, 2018 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,320 Speaker 2: which was the furthestick from the truth. And I don't 2019 01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,960 Speaker 2: know where he gets these ideas from, but the point 2020 01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:24,919 Speaker 2: is that he's dangerous. Don't you think he's somewhat dangerous 2021 01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:27,200 Speaker 2: a little bit with the things that he says. I'm 2022 01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:29,719 Speaker 2: glad I'm not in Aaron Rodgers in his circle because 2023 01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 2: he may leak something out that I've done. 2024 01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:36,000 Speaker 4: Really yeah, I would just say he just has to 2025 01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:39,080 Speaker 4: be really, really careful and responsible for what he puts 2026 01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:41,040 Speaker 4: out there, because whether he likes it or not, or 2027 01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:43,360 Speaker 4: whether he miss it or not, he's a role model 2028 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:46,040 Speaker 4: and a lot of people will heed the words that 2029 01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:51,240 Speaker 4: he puts out there, found researched or not. He just 2030 01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,599 Speaker 4: has a responsibility to just be careful for what you say. 2031 01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:56,120 Speaker 4: You just don't want to put wild and wacky theories 2032 01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:57,160 Speaker 4: out there with no proof. 2033 01:34:57,400 --> 01:34:59,280 Speaker 3: And whatever he believes in, he believes in. 2034 01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:02,160 Speaker 4: I just I think is on him as a role 2035 01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:06,519 Speaker 4: model and a very prominent public figure to make sure 2036 01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:09,240 Speaker 4: that he uses his power and his platform. 2037 01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 2: Response response, how well do you know Aaron Rodgers? Did 2038 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:13,759 Speaker 2: you get to know when you were a player as well? 2039 01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:17,320 Speaker 3: No, I mean, like wave, he's way after me. 2040 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,720 Speaker 4: Look, I only know about him through the people that 2041 01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:24,200 Speaker 4: have encountered him up there, and all will talk about 2042 01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:26,519 Speaker 4: him being smart and all that, and in their different 2043 01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:28,320 Speaker 4: appeiance because some people I know that love him other 2044 01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:33,439 Speaker 4: people that don't like him a ton and he's found 2045 01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:36,639 Speaker 4: a way to be a really good player. And all 2046 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:38,559 Speaker 4: I can judge is the on field stuff, the off 2047 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:42,240 Speaker 4: field stuff to these engaged in Yeah, that's above my 2048 01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:42,919 Speaker 4: pay grade. 2049 01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:44,840 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I don't wish him any harm. I 2050 01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:46,640 Speaker 2: think he's a bit of a weirdo, but it's a 2051 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:48,840 Speaker 2: great football player. But I will tell you as much 2052 01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:50,759 Speaker 2: as far as like what he brings to the table 2053 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:53,000 Speaker 2: in this day and age, in this political arena. And 2054 01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:55,240 Speaker 2: I'll climate right now, it's not about how much you 2055 01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:57,880 Speaker 2: know and how much you can change things. It's all 2056 01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:00,679 Speaker 2: about name recognition that equal votes to the all about 2057 01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:02,360 Speaker 2: Maybe it's always been that way, but I will tell 2058 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:05,200 Speaker 2: you this much. If Taylor Swift ran, she would win 2059 01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:09,200 Speaker 2: because she has that name recognition and she fills arenas 2060 01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:12,040 Speaker 2: and stadia and things like that. I think Taylor Swift, 2061 01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,719 Speaker 2: as she would add in the ticket, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 2062 01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:17,519 Speaker 2: Screwed up because she should have got Taylor Swift on 2063 01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:19,679 Speaker 2: his ticket and he would have won with her. There's 2064 01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:20,439 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. 2065 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,719 Speaker 3: Really, he might have been able to get it done. 2066 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:24,240 Speaker 3: Who knows. 2067 01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,639 Speaker 4: We'll see she the Swift. He's a definitely part popular 2068 01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:29,080 Speaker 4: and very powerful. 2069 01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,200 Speaker 2: No doubt about that. All right. He's Bucket Brooks.

A CNN reporter comes out with this 2093 01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:45,759 Speaker 2: eleven year old conversation two days after Robert Kennedy Junior 2094 01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:48,720 Speaker 2: announced Rogers is in the running for VP, and you 2095 01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,760 Speaker 2: fall Ford hook Line and Sinker Rogers already said this 2096 01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,280 Speaker 2: never happened, but of course you didn't say that. I 2097 01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:57,000 Speaker 2: hope he sues CNN and you. Let me just repeat this, 2098 01:37:57,320 --> 01:38:01,080 Speaker 2: mister Langman guard gave you two years. So listen, okay, listen, 2099 01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:03,919 Speaker 2: I'm talking about Pamela Brown. A report of the CNN 2100 01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:08,000 Speaker 2: said that basically Aaron Rodgers told her at the Kentucky 2101 01:38:08,040 --> 01:38:11,280 Speaker 2: Derby back in twenty thirteen that Sandy Hook Elementary School 2102 01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:14,240 Speaker 2: there was actually a government inside job and the media 2103 01:38:14,360 --> 01:38:16,960 Speaker 2: was intentionally ignoring it. This is from Aaron Rodgers. I'm 2104 01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:21,040 Speaker 2: just repeating what CNN has released, Okay. Also, CNN spoke 2105 01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:24,160 Speaker 2: to another person with a similar story, and this person 2106 01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:27,920 Speaker 2: several years ago said that Aaron Rodgers claimed, quote, Sandy 2107 01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:33,639 Speaker 2: Hook never happened. All those children never existed. They were actors, okay. 2108 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:36,599 Speaker 2: And when I asked about the grieving parents, the source 2109 01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:40,519 Speaker 2: from CNN recalled that Rodgers said, quote, they're all making 2110 01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,320 Speaker 2: it up. They're all actors. This came from Aaron Rodgers, 2111 01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,519 Speaker 2: not from me, not from anybody else. I don't care 2112 01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:51,680 Speaker 2: what Aaron Rodgers does, says lives or we'll run for politics, 2113 01:38:51,680 --> 01:38:53,920 Speaker 2: whatever he wants to do. It's fine with me. I'm 2114 01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:58,840 Speaker 2: just repeating facts. Facts, mister Langman, these are facts. All right, 2115 01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,439 Speaker 2: we move on. I'm sorry, sorry, mean to get upset, 2116 01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:04,040 Speaker 2: but I'm fair. I'm fair because he said that on 2117 01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,479 Speaker 2: Twitter to me in a message, and we move on. 2118 01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:10,120 Speaker 2: All right? Are we ready? I'm sorry. Now let's get 2119 01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:11,960 Speaker 2: the Kirk Cousins here for a second. I said life 2120 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,840 Speaker 2: bigins at thirty six becaues he's no longer in Minnesota. 2121 01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:18,000 Speaker 2: He's at Atlanta right now, and obviously the Minnesota Vikings 2122 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:22,320 Speaker 2: have to maybe adjust, get on a new course. New quarterback, 2123 01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:24,360 Speaker 2: who's going to be the quarterback of the future, and 2124 01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:26,639 Speaker 2: how is it going to affect this superstar wide receiver 2125 01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:31,920 Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson. What's going to happen to Justin Jefferson right now? 2126 01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:34,000 Speaker 3: I don't think it changes anything. 2127 01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:36,320 Speaker 4: I think the new quarterback will come in knowing that 2128 01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:39,040 Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson is the number one receiver the balls need 2129 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,640 Speaker 4: to hit in this direction. Kevin O'Connor will continue to 2130 01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:45,719 Speaker 4: draw up plays for Justin Jefferson to get the look, 2131 01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:47,960 Speaker 4: and then the final thing, the Minnesota Vikings will break 2132 01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:50,960 Speaker 4: him off and pay him handsomely. He'll be well over 2133 01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,599 Speaker 4: thirty million dollars, He'll be the number more paid wide 2134 01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,960 Speaker 4: receiver in the game, and everyone will be chasing his number. 2135 01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:59,160 Speaker 4: Following that, it just takes a while to get these 2136 01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:00,200 Speaker 4: deals done. 2137 01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:03,120 Speaker 2: Okay, here's my deal. I want to do about the legacy. 2138 01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:05,800 Speaker 2: It somewhat of a legacy of Kirk Cousins. I think 2139 01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:08,559 Speaker 2: that he's much maligned because he hasn't done much in 2140 01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:10,519 Speaker 2: the playoffs of at all. But let's take a look 2141 01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:14,439 Speaker 2: at this. On his production, thirty nine quarterback attempted a 2142 01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 2: thousand passes or more from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty three, 2143 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,760 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins had more passing yards than all of them 2144 01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:27,080 Speaker 2: but three Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, and Derek Carr. Derek 2145 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:31,040 Speaker 2: Carr Okay, and then Kirk Cousins had more passing touchdowns 2146 01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:34,400 Speaker 2: than all but two of them, Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson. 2147 01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:38,200 Speaker 2: His completion percentage ranked third behind Drew Brees and Joe Burrow. 2148 01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:43,080 Speaker 2: His touchdown to interception ratio was fifth behind Aaron Rodgers, 2149 01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:46,960 Speaker 2: Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, and Russell Wilson, and his passer 2150 01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:50,120 Speaker 2: rating ranked fifth behind those same four. I look at 2151 01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:53,360 Speaker 2: these stats and scratch my head and say, Minnesota, you're 2152 01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:56,280 Speaker 2: screwed up. You're screwed up by letting this guy go. 2153 01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:58,800 Speaker 2: And look, you made all the great points early on Bucky. 2154 01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:00,800 Speaker 2: He said that what is he doing on the postseason 2155 01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:03,719 Speaker 2: and certainly hasn't done much with the team at all. Really, 2156 01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:05,880 Speaker 2: And two years ago when they did make the playoffs, 2157 01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:08,280 Speaker 2: they lost to the Giants in the first round. But still, 2158 01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:10,519 Speaker 2: in all I think they were a better team with 2159 01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:14,160 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins than now without him. 2160 01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:16,599 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, I think they are a better 2161 01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:19,200 Speaker 4: team with Kirk Cousins, but I think there's a silling 2162 01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:22,920 Speaker 4: on how good they could be. Despite all the gaudy 2163 01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:27,080 Speaker 4: knowers that you cited, he still has a tough time. 2164 01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,080 Speaker 3: Understanding how to. 2165 01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:33,200 Speaker 4: Take his game up a notch in prime time, critical moments. 2166 01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:35,639 Speaker 4: He has a tendency to not pay attention to where 2167 01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:39,160 Speaker 4: the sticks are or what is available to him and 2168 01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:42,160 Speaker 4: has cost him. He is a good player, not a 2169 01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:44,320 Speaker 4: great player. But the problem is when you're paying him 2170 01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:47,920 Speaker 4: great player money, there's an expectation that comes with that. 2171 01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:52,559 Speaker 4: For the Vikings, they didn't want to play great money 2172 01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:54,479 Speaker 4: for a player that is only going to top out 2173 01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:54,960 Speaker 4: it being a. 2174 01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:58,719 Speaker 2: Good player Okay. My question is this, you're a general manager, 2175 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,080 Speaker 2: you're a personal guy. You have to get Dak Prescott 2176 01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:04,240 Speaker 2: or Kirk Cousins. I know who I'm taking. I'm taking 2177 01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,960 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. The problem with Dak Prescott is when you 2178 01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:09,200 Speaker 2: play for the team with the star, you're gonna get 2179 01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:12,479 Speaker 2: all the pluses and all the minuses. Everything falls on you. 2180 01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,559 Speaker 2: You play with Minnesota, not many people care. That's the 2181 01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:17,920 Speaker 2: only reason. When you play in Dallas, everything is on 2182 01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:20,120 Speaker 2: the spotlights on you in Dallas. Let's take a look 2183 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 2: at the wins and losses. In six years, Cousins was 2184 01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:25,599 Speaker 2: fifty to thirty seven, a fifty seven point four winning 2185 01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:29,400 Speaker 2: percentage that's ranked sixteenth behind Philip Rivers and ahead of 2186 01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:32,760 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. Cousins only made the playoffs twice in twenty 2187 01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,840 Speaker 2: nineteen and twenty twenty two, and won once, a twenty 2188 01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,559 Speaker 2: nineteen wildcard game against the Saints. But still, in all 2189 01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:40,520 Speaker 2: I think he's a pretty darn good quarterback. 2190 01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:44,439 Speaker 4: I mean, it depends on what the metrics are. If 2191 01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:48,120 Speaker 4: you judge by the number of passing yards he is, Yeah, 2192 01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:50,559 Speaker 4: he has all that in space. But you talked about 2193 01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,280 Speaker 4: a guy being there eight years but he's only made 2194 01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:54,759 Speaker 4: it to the playoffs twice and only one of those 2195 01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,640 Speaker 4: finished up with a playoff win. I mean, that's a 2196 01:42:57,640 --> 01:42:59,280 Speaker 4: lot of money you're paying out for a guy who 2197 01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,200 Speaker 4: has improved the He can take your team to the 2198 01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:03,320 Speaker 4: next level, he can get you to the tournament, but 2199 01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:06,800 Speaker 4: he can't win the tournament. I mean, that's just kind 2200 01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:10,479 Speaker 4: of where you're at. And I mean, I don't know, 2201 01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:13,000 Speaker 4: Like I think you can see a little pullback on 2202 01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:15,719 Speaker 4: the amount of teams that give like this mega mega 2203 01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:17,360 Speaker 4: mega money to quarterback. 2204 01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:19,240 Speaker 2: And that's the key. You hit it right on the head. 2205 01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:22,519 Speaker 2: You know, Minnesota let him go, not the cost of 2206 01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:25,439 Speaker 2: his skill set. They let him go because three factors. 2207 01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:28,639 Speaker 2: Number one coming off the ACL, Number two perhaps his age, 2208 01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,360 Speaker 2: and number three the biggest reason of all obviously was 2209 01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:33,640 Speaker 2: the money, all right, and that was the deal. And 2210 01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:35,920 Speaker 2: obviously I don't think they thought there'd be a lot 2211 01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:40,479 Speaker 2: of suitors for him. Atlanta came in there, and then 2212 01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,320 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Minnesota challenge Atlanta once the legal 2213 01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:45,960 Speaker 2: tampering period began. That's what happened right there. But the 2214 01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:49,280 Speaker 2: fact that Minnesota challenge Atlanta tells me at least that 2215 01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:51,040 Speaker 2: they didn't want it to go. They want them to 2216 01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:51,920 Speaker 2: try to keep him there. 2217 01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:53,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, they wanted to. 2218 01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:55,439 Speaker 4: I mean obviously you want to try and keep him there, 2219 01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:59,040 Speaker 4: but you want him on your number. You want to 2220 01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,439 Speaker 4: pay him kind of you sloted to pay the position. 2221 01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:05,800 Speaker 4: You know, you just don't want to overpay for him. 2222 01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:07,760 Speaker 4: And I think that's always the thing. You don't want 2223 01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:10,679 Speaker 4: to overpay for good. You don't mind overpaying for great. 2224 01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:12,240 Speaker 4: You don't want to overpay for good. 2225 01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:14,439 Speaker 2: Well, you know what you overpay for good. Just take 2226 01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,760 Speaker 2: a look at the Danny Dimes over there and the 2227 01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:22,160 Speaker 2: Giants forty seven mili. I think they overpaid him. I mean, look, 2228 01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:24,679 Speaker 2: that happens all the time. You know, people get overpaid 2229 01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:26,800 Speaker 2: all the time. And I think that sometimes you have 2230 01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:29,519 Speaker 2: to overpay to win. Would you rather have that or 2231 01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:32,040 Speaker 2: you rather have Sam Donald? And I really do you 2232 01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:33,800 Speaker 2: want to see? Think Sam Donald's going to be under 2233 01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:40,760 Speaker 2: center and opening day for Minnesota. I don't think he will. 2234 01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 4: No, I mean i'd look, I think Sam Donald has 2235 01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:42,800 Speaker 4: a great chance to play. He reunites with one of 2236 01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:46,200 Speaker 4: his former teammates and Josh McCown. Kevin O'Connell has raved 2237 01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:51,160 Speaker 4: about his talent. Sam Donald entered a league a little 2238 01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:53,920 Speaker 4: different than most guys, but he may get to the 2239 01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:58,840 Speaker 4: same I mean, he may get to the same destination. 2240 01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:01,640 Speaker 4: The thing that I will say about all of this 2241 01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:03,599 Speaker 4: when it comes to the quarterback hero. So you talked 2242 01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:05,960 Speaker 4: about Dak Prescott, you talk about Kirk Cousins or whatever. 2243 01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,919 Speaker 4: It is really expensive to get a high end quarterback 2244 01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,080 Speaker 4: and it's really difficult to find one in the draft. 2245 01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:13,280 Speaker 4: So if you have one, you kind of have a 2246 01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:15,639 Speaker 4: tendency to hold on to it until you can find better. 2247 01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,680 Speaker 4: This might be the situation like for more teams as 2248 01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:22,720 Speaker 4: they have to deal with like those mid level quarterbacks. 2249 01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:25,040 Speaker 2: You what you're saying, he's Bucket Brooks. I'm Ay Freman. 2250 01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:27,880 Speaker 2: We are Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. It's 2251 01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:31,040 Speaker 2: time for a change. That's next and it's coming up 2252 01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,040 Speaker 2: the next Life on the Tirack dot Com studios. 2253 01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:37,120 Speaker 8: But first, Kevin Wyatt, what all your sports selection Sunday 2254 01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:39,920 Speaker 8: is here? And if you're top Frank Houston, you were 2255 01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:42,479 Speaker 8: going into Saturday expecting to be the number one team 2256 01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:46,479 Speaker 8: in the whole tournament. But Iowa State really putting a 2257 01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:49,480 Speaker 8: damper on those plans. They really took it to the Cougars, 2258 01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:52,840 Speaker 8: winning it sixty nine to forty one, holding Houston. 2259 01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:54,879 Speaker 5: To just twenty seven percent shooting. 2260 01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:59,240 Speaker 8: So Houston gonna wait for the tournament field reveal to 2261 01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:02,000 Speaker 8: see if they'll eaving number one seed at all in 2262 01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:05,880 Speaker 8: Iowa State certainly making a case for a one seed 2263 01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:08,080 Speaker 8: or at the very least a two seed, and number 2264 01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:12,200 Speaker 8: two Connecticut taking advantage as they win against Marquette. 2265 01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:13,160 Speaker 2: Seventy three fifty seven. 2266 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:16,680 Speaker 8: The Huskies expecting to be the top overall seed in 2267 01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:18,400 Speaker 8: the tournament and ceased it. 2268 01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:19,439 Speaker 2: How about the wolf Pack. 2269 01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:23,439 Speaker 8: They went five days and won five games in each 2270 01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:25,800 Speaker 8: of those ort five days. Over the course of those 2271 01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:28,639 Speaker 8: five days to win the ACC Championship. They beat number 2272 01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:31,439 Speaker 8: four North Carolina eighty four to seventy six to punch 2273 01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:35,120 Speaker 8: their ticket into the Big Dance PAC twelve the last 2274 01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:39,160 Speaker 8: ever PAC twelve Tournament. Oregon over Colorado seventy five to 2275 01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:42,000 Speaker 8: sixty eight. In the Mountain West, It's New Mexico over 2276 01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:45,080 Speaker 8: San Diego State sixty eight to sixty one. The MAC 2277 01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:50,519 Speaker 8: Championship Akron snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Kent 2278 01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:53,200 Speaker 8: State took the lead by one with just a few 2279 01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:56,719 Speaker 8: seconds ago and then foul Akron in the back court, 2280 01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:58,320 Speaker 8: so they just had to make a couple of free 2281 01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:00,240 Speaker 8: throws to win the game, and that's exactly what they did, 2282 01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:03,360 Speaker 8: sixty two to sixty one, Grambling going to the NCAA 2283 01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:05,920 Speaker 8: Tournament for the first time. They win the SWACK Championship 2284 01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:08,400 Speaker 8: over Texas Southern seventy five sixty six. 2285 01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:10,799 Speaker 2: Long Beach State. Dan Munson had been. 2286 01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:13,840 Speaker 8: Fired earlier this week and was allowed to coach the 2287 01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,280 Speaker 8: remainder of the season, and it's gonna get extended just 2288 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:19,200 Speaker 8: a little bit longer as he guides them to a 2289 01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:22,160 Speaker 8: seventy four to seventy win against UC Davis. Long Beach 2290 01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:25,480 Speaker 8: State wins the Big West Championship and will go dancing 2291 01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:29,439 Speaker 8: NBA Warriors over the Lakers one eight one twenty one. 2292 01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:32,679 Speaker 8: Anthony Davis had to leave after the first Quartery got 2293 01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:34,280 Speaker 8: hit in the eye and it looked really bad. He 2294 01:47:34,320 --> 01:47:37,600 Speaker 8: did not return. But the story of the game was 2295 01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:40,000 Speaker 8: the last two minutes. The game had great flow back 2296 01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:43,360 Speaker 8: and forth, fair and was a thrilling game up until 2297 01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:45,120 Speaker 8: the last two minutes, and that's when a bunch of 2298 01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:49,040 Speaker 8: challenges and replay reviews happened and the shot clock wouldn't 2299 01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:51,160 Speaker 8: even work at times, so the game just ground to 2300 01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:53,519 Speaker 8: a halt and it got really frustrating. The fans even 2301 01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:56,640 Speaker 8: were booing the officials after a couple of starts of 2302 01:47:56,640 --> 01:47:59,040 Speaker 8: play were stopped by the show clock not working. And 2303 01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,519 Speaker 8: it's a slow mess all around. In the league going 2304 01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:06,200 Speaker 8: to probably evaluate it's a replay policy going forward. But 2305 01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:09,479 Speaker 8: the Warriors do end up winning it thunder over the 2306 01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:12,680 Speaker 8: Memphis Grizzlies twent eighteen, one to twelve. Timberwolves take down 2307 01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:15,680 Speaker 8: the Jazz one nineteen to one hundred. In the NFL, 2308 01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:18,600 Speaker 8: Justin Field's getting traded by the Chicago Bears to the 2309 01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:23,559 Speaker 8: Steelers in exchange for a twenty twenty five six round pick. 2310 01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:26,599 Speaker 8: And in golf, the Players Championship, they call it golf's 2311 01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:30,320 Speaker 8: fifth Major, and Xander Chowflay ahead of the leaderboard. He's 2312 01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:33,719 Speaker 8: one stroke ahead of Wyndham Clark. Back to you guys, 2313 01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:34,280 Speaker 8: all right. 2314 01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,200 Speaker 2: KeV, thanks so much. Gay.

So lace up your sneakers 2321 01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:55,639 Speaker 2: and make the winning play by heading to your local 2322 01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:58,920 Speaker 2: Tractor supply store today. All Right, we've got the blame 2323 01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:01,280 Speaker 2: game coming up about six to seven minutes from now. 2324 01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:05,000 Speaker 2: But twenty twenty four NFL rules changes, they were proposed 2325 01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:07,719 Speaker 2: by various teams in the league. Released I guess earlier 2326 01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:11,000 Speaker 2: this week all rule by law and resolution proposals that 2327 01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:14,479 Speaker 2: have been submitted by teams in advance for their annual meetings, 2328 01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:17,439 Speaker 2: And they'll be later this month in Orlando, Florida, And 2329 01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:19,719 Speaker 2: maybe Bucket Brooks, you could explain them to me, because 2330 01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:21,120 Speaker 2: I'm not too certain what they all mean. 2331 01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:21,559 Speaker 3: All right. 2332 01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:24,519 Speaker 2: The most notable one, I guess was a proposal came 2333 01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:27,559 Speaker 2: from the Philadelphia Eagles. They have champion an on side 2334 01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:31,000 Speaker 2: kick alternative that would permit a team to maintain possession 2335 01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:34,360 Speaker 2: after a score if it converts a fourth and twenty 2336 01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:37,360 Speaker 2: offensive play from its own twenty yard line. All right, 2337 01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:39,559 Speaker 2: figure that out for me? Help me out here, will 2338 01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,400 Speaker 2: you please this rule change? 2339 01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:44,679 Speaker 3: You'll hep you out? 2340 01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, traditional onside kicks because the traditional onside kicks they 2341 01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:51,880 Speaker 2: have grown far more difficult to recover over time, so 2342 01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:53,519 Speaker 2: they want to tighten up the rules I guess, and 2343 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:56,559 Speaker 2: on side kicks back in twenty twenty three, teams recovered 2344 01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:59,120 Speaker 2: only two or forty one on side kicks. I don't 2345 01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:01,760 Speaker 2: get it is that big a deal. I don't know 2346 01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:02,680 Speaker 2: why would they do that? 2347 01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:07,920 Speaker 4: I would say, like, the reason why is they wanted 2348 01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:10,200 Speaker 4: to take the most violent collision out of the game, 2349 01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:14,960 Speaker 4: and so by incentivizing teams to take the touch back, 2350 01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:17,600 Speaker 4: it put the ball down into twenty five. Will the 2351 01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,679 Speaker 4: odds go up if you scoring points when you start 2352 01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:25,280 Speaker 4: outside the twenty So offensive coaches were electing, hey, man, 2353 01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:26,760 Speaker 4: just just just take the fair kitch. 2354 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:27,719 Speaker 3: We will take it right here. 2355 01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:31,360 Speaker 4: Defensive coaches were saying, yeah, well, we need to have 2356 01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,439 Speaker 4: something in place where we can finish off games. We 2357 01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,960 Speaker 4: can do it the right way, and we want to 2358 01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:39,920 Speaker 4: have the opportunity to also kick some onside kicks. How 2359 01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:41,639 Speaker 4: do we go about doing it? So they're still trying 2360 01:50:41,680 --> 01:50:44,840 Speaker 4: to scrimmage through some of those things. But it's weird 2361 01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:48,400 Speaker 4: seeing end of game desperations and knowing that you know 2362 01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:50,880 Speaker 4: the onsete kick and the Hail Mary have no chance 2363 01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:52,120 Speaker 4: of showing up right. 2364 01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:52,599 Speaker 3: Okay. 2365 01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:55,439 Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions, Okay, they submitted a rule change that 2366 01:50:55,479 --> 01:50:58,519 Speaker 2: would allow coaches to get a third challenge if one 2367 01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:02,000 Speaker 2: of the first two challenges successful rather than if both are. 2368 01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:04,880 Speaker 2: That's not bad. That sounds fair to me. I like that. 2369 01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:06,720 Speaker 2: What are the chances that I going through? What do 2370 01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:10,639 Speaker 2: you think, repeater? 2371 01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:12,080 Speaker 3: You could out on my repeater. 2372 01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:14,640 Speaker 2: Okay, the Detroit Lions. They submit a rule change that 2373 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:18,639 Speaker 2: would allow coaches to get a third challenge if one 2374 01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:22,240 Speaker 2: of their first two challenges are successful rather than if 2375 01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:23,360 Speaker 2: both are successful. 2376 01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:27,400 Speaker 4: I mean, look, I think that's a good deal because 2377 01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:30,920 Speaker 4: if you've been rewarded by successfully challenging and play, you 2378 01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:34,280 Speaker 4: should look, you should enhance their timeouts. You shouldn't take 2379 01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:36,439 Speaker 4: that away. So I actually am all in favor of that. 2380 01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,479 Speaker 2: Me too, I think that's a good one. Okay. Buffalo Bills. 2381 01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:43,120 Speaker 2: They want the NFL to allow practice squad quarterbacks to 2382 01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:46,920 Speaker 2: be eligible to serve as the emergency third quarterback on 2383 01:51:47,040 --> 01:51:50,760 Speaker 2: game days. The current rule requires that the third quarterback 2384 01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:52,880 Speaker 2: be part of the fifty three man roster. That's a 2385 01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:55,280 Speaker 2: pretty good rule too, The way quarterbacks are getting banged up. 2386 01:51:55,320 --> 01:52:00,679 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, quarterbacks are getting banged and so having 2387 01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:03,760 Speaker 4: that emergency quarterback is significant. It allows you to dress 2388 01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:05,960 Speaker 4: him and it allows you to have them ready to be 2389 01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:09,080 Speaker 4: very similar to the Kenny Pickott situation where he allegedly 2390 01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:11,920 Speaker 4: refused to dress out. Now he has no choice. He's 2391 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:13,680 Speaker 4: the third quarterback. You dress him out. If you get 2392 01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:15,320 Speaker 4: to the point where you need him you're in trouble. 2393 01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:19,200 Speaker 4: But he's there just in case Jesse Case needs someone 2394 01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:19,840 Speaker 4: to take the snap. 2395 01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:22,360 Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about the Pittsburgh Steels with they proposal 2396 01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:24,000 Speaker 2: right now. This is a pretty good one because it's 2397 01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:27,000 Speaker 2: really down the playoff stretch. They want to move the 2398 01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:30,080 Speaker 2: trade deadline back a week to after week nine games. 2399 01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:33,600 Speaker 2: In a separate proposal, six other teams suggested moving up 2400 01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:36,519 Speaker 2: back until after week ten, which is great because at 2401 01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:38,680 Speaker 2: that point in time, guys are really banged up. You 2402 01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,280 Speaker 2: may need to get a player in a trade and 2403 01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:43,640 Speaker 2: maybe make up stretch run for the playoffs. I like 2404 01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,439 Speaker 2: that after week ten, make the trade deadline back then, 2405 01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:48,680 Speaker 2: be really exciting. I think it's a good rule. I 2406 01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:49,160 Speaker 2: really do. 2407 01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,200 Speaker 4: You had to give teams an opportunity to punt on 2408 01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:55,880 Speaker 4: their players entering the last year of the deal. At 2409 01:52:55,920 --> 01:52:58,800 Speaker 4: the end, I mean, you start setting up places for 2410 01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:02,360 Speaker 4: new players to go. Oh and those things the trade 2411 01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:06,880 Speaker 4: will allow you to fortify their run that you can 2412 01:53:06,920 --> 01:53:10,280 Speaker 4: make in the postseason. So with only six games left 2413 01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:12,280 Speaker 4: for seven games left, depending on when they put it in, 2414 01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:15,200 Speaker 4: it allows you to get a new player not only acclimated, 2415 01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:17,760 Speaker 4: but maybe that new player can help you finish the 2416 01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:20,080 Speaker 4: games off that enable you to get into the postseason. 2417 01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:21,840 Speaker 3: I dig it. I do too. 2418 01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:25,120 Speaker 2: Here's a strange one. The Philadelphia Eagles. They want to 2419 01:53:25,120 --> 01:53:28,920 Speaker 2: see game clocks display tenths of a second in the 2420 01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:31,080 Speaker 2: final minute of each half. Now, I think they have 2421 01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:33,040 Speaker 2: tents of a second on the NBA clock and in 2422 01:53:33,040 --> 01:53:36,240 Speaker 2: college basketball too, but tense of a second in the NFL. 2423 01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:38,439 Speaker 2: I don't know if it makes not much of a difference. 2424 01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:42,599 Speaker 4: What do you think, Yeah, that's the end of the second. 2425 01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:44,080 Speaker 4: I mean, just to be able to see how much 2426 01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:46,280 Speaker 4: time you really have. Like, it's just a visual thing 2427 01:53:46,360 --> 01:53:48,599 Speaker 4: more so than anything. It just is it a long 2428 01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:49,759 Speaker 4: second or a short second? 2429 01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:51,320 Speaker 3: Those things? Maybe it matters. 2430 01:53:51,840 --> 01:53:55,320 Speaker 4: I can't say that it makes a significant impact, but 2431 01:53:56,479 --> 01:53:57,840 Speaker 4: some of the players are claiming for it. 2432 01:53:57,880 --> 01:53:58,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, why not. 2433 01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:02,479 Speaker 2: Okay, and at least the Indianapolis Cold State proposed allowing 2434 01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:06,439 Speaker 2: coaches to challenge any foul that has been called on 2435 01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:09,960 Speaker 2: the field, in addition to the existing menu of plays 2436 01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:13,439 Speaker 2: they are eligible to challenge. The NFL has traditionally stayed 2437 01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:16,719 Speaker 2: away from the challenging subjective decisions, and there has only 2438 01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:20,200 Speaker 2: been one season in its history when any foul, let 2439 01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:22,839 Speaker 2: alone all of them, was part of a replay review. 2440 01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:27,040 Speaker 2: Interesting thing on the Colt's proposal over there, to challenge 2441 01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,080 Speaker 2: any foul that has been called on the field. I 2442 01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:31,679 Speaker 2: kind of like that, to challenge any foul on the field. 2443 01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:32,360 Speaker 2: What do you think? 2444 01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:33,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, dude. 2445 01:54:33,640 --> 01:54:34,680 Speaker 4: The only thing you want to do is you want 2446 01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:37,040 Speaker 4: to make sure game play does not continue to slow down. 2447 01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:39,200 Speaker 4: All right. The league has done a really good job 2448 01:54:39,240 --> 01:54:41,040 Speaker 4: trying to fit in a three and a half hour window. 2449 01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:44,160 Speaker 4: If you make this decision, you got to roll with 2450 01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:45,680 Speaker 4: it because you can't do a whole lot of mixing 2451 01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:47,760 Speaker 4: and match and once we get into the regular season. 2452 01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:51,040 Speaker 2: There we go. All right now, Bucky brooks Andy Furman, 2453 01:54:51,080 --> 01:54:54,160 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sonny, and Fox Sports Radio, now's the time 2454 01:54:54,520 --> 01:54:58,280 Speaker 2: to let it all out.

Let's 2465 01:55:27,920 --> 01:55:29,160 Speaker 1: figure out who to blame. 2466 01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,680 Speaker 5: All right, A lot of people at fault and it's 2467 01:55:32,720 --> 01:55:36,360 Speaker 5: up to you guys to determine who. So first question here. 2468 01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:40,840 Speaker 5: LSU and South Carolina's women's basketball teams got into a 2469 01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:43,000 Speaker 5: little bit of a melee the other day after their game. 2470 01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:47,120 Speaker 5: South Carolina coach Don Staley apologized on behalf of her 2471 01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:51,920 Speaker 5: school and women's athletics, but Kim Mulkey, the LSU coach, said, 2472 01:55:51,960 --> 01:55:54,920 Speaker 5: in no uncertain terms, to let the girls duke it out. 2473 01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:56,960 Speaker 5: Who do you blame for this? Andy? 2474 01:55:57,600 --> 01:55:59,480 Speaker 2: I hate to go down this road. I hate to 2475 01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:01,760 Speaker 2: be discussed statement, But this is Kim Mulky right now 2476 01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:05,200 Speaker 2: is nothing more. And I use the term trash. Okay, trash. 2477 01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:08,040 Speaker 2: It's all about her. If you think that Aaron Rodgers 2478 01:56:08,080 --> 01:56:10,680 Speaker 2: is a narcissist, what about this woman. It's all about her, 2479 01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:13,000 Speaker 2: the way she dresses, the way she acts. She had 2480 01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:17,440 Speaker 2: a six six a six ' eight kid on South 2481 01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:20,960 Speaker 2: Carolina kind of allegedly push one of our players, and 2482 01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,000 Speaker 2: she said, you know what, let them duke it out. 2483 01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:24,880 Speaker 2: What kind of a statement is that from a coach. 2484 01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:27,200 Speaker 2: She should have been suspended on the spot, but she 2485 01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:30,120 Speaker 2: has not been. I never liked her. It's all about her. 2486 01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:33,640 Speaker 2: She's an egomaniac. And look, calm down with the dressing 2487 01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:35,920 Speaker 2: on the sidelines. It's all about her. And I blame 2488 01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:39,000 Speaker 2: Kim Molki never should have done that. Don Staley was great, 2489 01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:42,000 Speaker 2: she apologized for our school, our players, and the game 2490 01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:45,320 Speaker 2: of college basketball, and that was great. But Kim Moulky, 2491 01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:47,840 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, trash. 2492 01:56:47,400 --> 01:56:48,320 Speaker 5: Bucky, who do you blame? 2493 01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:50,840 Speaker 4: Well, look, I mean I have to kind of blame 2494 01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:53,280 Speaker 4: like Don Stay and her players. I mean, even though 2495 01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:56,520 Speaker 4: Don Stately is accountable for that and took accountability and 2496 01:56:56,520 --> 01:56:59,280 Speaker 4: apologize for putting kind of like a smudge on the 2497 01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:02,480 Speaker 4: women's game. Ultimately, her players can't react like that. And 2498 01:57:02,760 --> 01:57:04,840 Speaker 4: I love their brand to play. I love what don 2499 01:57:04,880 --> 01:57:07,800 Speaker 4: statey represent in terms of being a champion, their physicality, 2500 01:57:07,840 --> 01:57:10,680 Speaker 4: their toughness or whatever, but their ruffle tumble and her 2501 01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:14,120 Speaker 4: girl was wrong because her girl can't come up and 2502 01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:17,560 Speaker 4: knock the LSU player around. Regardless of what Kim Mucky 2503 01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:19,160 Speaker 4: says that, hey, I want to fight back. 2504 01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:19,720 Speaker 3: In those things. 2505 01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:22,640 Speaker 4: It initiated with the South Carolina players, So it is 2506 01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:24,320 Speaker 4: Don Stay's responsibility. 2507 01:57:24,520 --> 01:57:26,640 Speaker 5: All Right, We're gonna go point Bucky, but that both 2508 01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:29,880 Speaker 5: good points, all right. Next, after the Utah State women 2509 01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:32,760 Speaker 5: lost last week, coach Kayla Ard was asked how they 2510 01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:36,840 Speaker 5: rebuild next season, and she actually just responded to that 2511 01:57:36,840 --> 01:57:41,160 Speaker 5: that she just got fired. Never blah, never seen or 2512 01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:44,080 Speaker 5: heard of anything like that. So Andy, who do you blame? 2513 01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:46,440 Speaker 2: Oh, obviously the athletic threat is a FOOLI had no 2514 01:57:46,480 --> 01:57:48,640 Speaker 2: idea he fired the coaches. She's out there. She had 2515 01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:50,760 Speaker 2: a lot of clayers, Kayla Art, she really did, because 2516 01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:52,800 Speaker 2: when she was asked by the media, oh, what do 2517 01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:54,520 Speaker 2: you do for next year? How do you rebuild? She's wait, 2518 01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:56,960 Speaker 2: wait a minute, I ain't rebuilding. I was fired. I 2519 01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:59,160 Speaker 2: mean normally I think a coach could have just walked 2520 01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:00,800 Speaker 2: out and not even showed, but she had a lot 2521 01:58:00,840 --> 01:58:03,040 Speaker 2: of class. But the athletic there, how do you do that? 2522 01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:05,200 Speaker 2: How do you fire a coach before the end of 2523 01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:07,280 Speaker 2: the game. It's not crazy. I just don't get it. 2524 01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:07,960 Speaker 2: I really don't. 2525 01:58:08,240 --> 01:58:08,600 Speaker 5: Bucky. 2526 01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:11,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I blame the athletic director. I also blame 2527 01:58:11,840 --> 01:58:14,120 Speaker 4: all of these athletic directors. We're seeing this become more 2528 01:58:14,120 --> 01:58:17,080 Speaker 4: of a trend. The amount of coaches that were fired 2529 01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:20,480 Speaker 4: right after the conclusion of their tournament games, to me, 2530 01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:23,280 Speaker 4: is astonishing. Give it a look, give it a day. 2531 01:58:23,480 --> 01:58:25,520 Speaker 4: It won't even take a four to twenty four hours. 2532 01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:27,480 Speaker 4: But hey, if they play a game, you can call 2533 01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:29,920 Speaker 4: them into the office eight am, nine am the next morning. 2534 01:58:30,120 --> 01:58:31,520 Speaker 3: Hey, we're going to go in a different direction. 2535 01:58:31,560 --> 01:58:33,960 Speaker 4: We appreciate the work that you've done those things, but 2536 01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:38,440 Speaker 4: to have that conversation when everyone is emotionally heated or 2537 01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:41,200 Speaker 4: deflated of those things, yeah, I just think you have 2538 01:58:41,240 --> 01:58:42,200 Speaker 4: to handle it in a different man. 2539 01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:46,080 Speaker 5: All Right, we'll go point andy on that one. Next, 2540 01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:51,080 Speaker 5: the Vikings let quarterback Kirk Cousins leave for the Atlanta Falcons. Bucky, 2541 01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:53,080 Speaker 5: We'll start with you this time. Who do you blame. 2542 01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:55,000 Speaker 4: Uh. 2543 01:58:55,040 --> 01:58:56,320 Speaker 3: Look, I blame Kirk Cousins. 2544 01:58:56,360 --> 01:58:59,160 Speaker 4: I blame Kirk Cousins because Kirk Cousins got the big 2545 01:58:59,200 --> 01:59:01,400 Speaker 4: money but never performed at a high enough level that 2546 01:59:01,480 --> 01:59:04,200 Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings fel con pill to keep him. It 2547 01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:06,880 Speaker 4: was great, all the regnancies and success that it had, 2548 01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:10,520 Speaker 4: all the numbers and accolades that Kurt individually guarnered, but 2549 01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:13,240 Speaker 4: the team didn't win. We talked about two playoff appearances 2550 01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:15,400 Speaker 4: in one playoff win. That's not good enough for what 2551 01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:19,400 Speaker 4: we're talking about. Historic, legendary guaranteed money to Kirk Cousins. 2552 01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, on him. 2553 01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:21,440 Speaker 4: That's why he's in Atlanta now. 2554 01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:24,280 Speaker 2: And he pay him, paying the money. You're better off 2555 01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:26,160 Speaker 2: with and then with Adam and then without him. Right 2556 01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:28,360 Speaker 2: now they will win four games next year. That I 2557 01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:31,440 Speaker 2: promise you right there. So if management's fooled, you should 2558 01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:33,880 Speaker 2: have kept him. You know what you had? Not bad? 2559 01:59:34,080 --> 01:59:35,720 Speaker 2: All right, stupid move. 2560 01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:38,600 Speaker 5: All right. Point to Bucky on that one oh of 2561 01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:43,160 Speaker 5: the twenty twenty one NFL draft quarterback class, only Trevor Lawrence, 2562 01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:45,320 Speaker 5: the number one overall pick, is expected to be with 2563 01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:48,480 Speaker 5: the team that originally drafted him next season. At the time, 2564 01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:50,360 Speaker 5: this was one of this was considered one of the 2565 01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:53,480 Speaker 5: most special quarterback draft classes we've seen, but most of 2566 01:59:53,480 --> 01:59:55,160 Speaker 5: them have turned out to be busted. By this point, 2567 01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:56,200 Speaker 5: Who do you blame, Bucky? 2568 01:59:57,320 --> 02:00:01,840 Speaker 4: I blame I blame the media. Fihypis quarterba the entire time. 2569 02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:03,760 Speaker 4: So we make you where we put all this subtle 2570 02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:06,840 Speaker 4: pressure on these coaches and executives that they got to 2571 02:00:06,880 --> 02:00:10,720 Speaker 4: take these players high, and we do it selfishly to 2572 02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:13,560 Speaker 4: fulfill our own mock draft dreams. These guys never should 2573 02:00:13,560 --> 02:00:14,920 Speaker 4: have been as hyped as they are, and that's why 2574 02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:15,680 Speaker 4: they all flamed out. 2575 02:00:15,800 --> 02:00:18,360 Speaker 2: Andy all forget to me. It's not the media's fault. 2576 02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:20,680 Speaker 2: The point is this that you you hit it on 2577 02:00:20,680 --> 02:00:22,760 Speaker 2: the head, Bucky, that when you wrote for Fox Sports, 2578 02:00:22,960 --> 02:00:25,600 Speaker 2: the fact that they didn't have much experience and the 2579 02:00:25,760 --> 02:00:28,280 Speaker 2: collegiate level. You come to the pros, you're thrown to 2580 02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:30,840 Speaker 2: the wolves. It's all about learning, and I hadn't learned. 2581 02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:32,240 Speaker 2: That's the problem right there. 2582 02:00:32,320 --> 02:00:34,520 Speaker 5: All right, point to Bucky. Today is going to end 2583 02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:37,560 Speaker 5: in a tie, unfortunately, So we're gonna tie break next week. 2584 02:00:38,160 --> 02:00:42,000 Speaker 2: There we go, tie break it all right, we got 2585 02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:43,600 Speaker 2: the best of the rest. We'll get that and so 2586 02:00:43,720 --> 02:00:46,760 Speaker 2: much more. Right, here on Fox Sports Sunday, He's Bucky 2587 02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:49,560 Speaker 2: Brooks on Andy Freeman.

And you know, 2594 02:01:06,880 --> 02:01:10,959 Speaker 2: talk about selection Sunday. When they expanded the NCUBA basketball 2595 02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:14,480 Speaker 2: tournament from I guess till sixty eight, from sixty four 2596 02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:17,400 Speaker 2: to sixty five to out to sixty eight and college 2597 02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:21,120 Speaker 2: football went to twelve, not gonna go to fourteen next year, 2598 02:01:21,600 --> 02:01:23,000 Speaker 2: you know, there was a big to do with the 2599 02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:26,000 Speaker 2: college football deal, and no one really said much about 2600 02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:29,360 Speaker 2: the basketball deal. I mean, I don't understand why. I mean, 2601 02:01:29,480 --> 02:01:33,480 Speaker 2: certainly we have to understand that this NCUBA basketball tournament, 2602 02:01:33,640 --> 02:01:37,320 Speaker 2: it's a tournament. It does not necessarily mean or select 2603 02:01:37,600 --> 02:01:40,880 Speaker 2: the best team available or the best team in the 2604 02:01:41,240 --> 02:01:44,440 Speaker 2: NCUBA ranks. It's the tournament and whoever wins the tournament 2605 02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,800 Speaker 2: wins the tournament, not necessarily the best team. It depends 2606 02:01:47,880 --> 02:01:50,160 Speaker 2: upon you know where their seeding is, who they're playing, 2607 02:01:50,200 --> 02:01:52,760 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. But I don't understand why there 2608 02:01:52,800 --> 02:01:55,160 Speaker 2: hasn't been much of it to do When they did 2609 02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:58,720 Speaker 2: expand the basketball and everybody's arguing about the football, what's 2610 02:01:58,760 --> 02:02:01,480 Speaker 2: the difference, buck Why why would they be such pullback 2611 02:02:01,520 --> 02:02:04,680 Speaker 2: and pushback in the football expansion and there wasn't much 2612 02:02:04,720 --> 02:02:06,480 Speaker 2: in the basketball. 2613 02:02:06,720 --> 02:02:09,760 Speaker 4: Well, the reason why there's such pushback is because two 2614 02:02:09,800 --> 02:02:11,880 Speaker 4: of the conferences are eating up all the money. The 2615 02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:16,240 Speaker 4: big team in the SEC are taking more more than 2616 02:02:16,280 --> 02:02:18,520 Speaker 4: their fair share when it comes to it. They also 2617 02:02:18,520 --> 02:02:22,240 Speaker 4: are putting pressure on the committee to expand from twelve 2618 02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:25,920 Speaker 4: to fourteen. Why would we already talk about expansion when 2619 02:02:25,960 --> 02:02:28,680 Speaker 4: we haven't run it with a twelve team format yet? 2620 02:02:29,520 --> 02:02:31,120 Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense, But it's a money grab. 2621 02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:33,120 Speaker 4: They have all the power, they all all the leverage. 2622 02:02:33,200 --> 02:02:35,600 Speaker 4: They want to make sure that their membery institutions got 2623 02:02:36,320 --> 02:02:39,400 Speaker 4: the benefit of being a part of the most powerful brand, 2624 02:02:39,400 --> 02:02:41,360 Speaker 4: and that's why they're flex and making it a fourteen 2625 02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:44,320 Speaker 4: team playoff instead of twelve, even though on the field 2626 02:02:44,600 --> 02:02:47,240 Speaker 4: it makes no difference whether you have twelve, fourteen, sixteen, 2627 02:02:47,360 --> 02:02:48,000 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. 2628 02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:49,960 Speaker 2: Why would you say that what do you mean it 2629 02:02:49,960 --> 02:02:51,880 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. I mean I think it does. 2630 02:02:52,120 --> 02:02:52,760 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. 2631 02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:54,960 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter when it comes to the gameplay. When 2632 02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:57,240 Speaker 4: it comes to the gameplay, it's not really going to 2633 02:02:57,240 --> 02:03:01,520 Speaker 4: matter because typically those top three teams, they're going to 2634 02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:04,720 Speaker 4: continue to advance through it. So this first round whatever 2635 02:03:04,760 --> 02:03:07,560 Speaker 4: we would call it the quarterfinals, to double buy, whatever, 2636 02:03:07,760 --> 02:03:10,880 Speaker 4: however they break up the field, it's not going to 2637 02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:13,040 Speaker 4: matter on the field. It only matters in lining into 2638 02:03:13,040 --> 02:03:18,080 Speaker 4: the pockets. I never saw the value in doing twelve, Like, 2639 02:03:18,160 --> 02:03:19,400 Speaker 4: if you're gon't do it, why not do it like 2640 02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:21,480 Speaker 4: you do at upper levels. Do it with sixteen. So 2641 02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:23,600 Speaker 4: now everyone can breaks down, You get all the teams, 2642 02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:26,480 Speaker 4: you don't have any controversy. People aren't going to debate 2643 02:03:26,520 --> 02:03:29,320 Speaker 4: about the seventeen team not being included. You might as 2644 02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:30,840 Speaker 4: well do that if you can go ahead and skip 2645 02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:32,160 Speaker 4: some of these steps. 2646 02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:34,680 Speaker 2: Right, I'll hear you right there. You know, it's funny 2647 02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:38,360 Speaker 2: because in basketball, at least today with selections Sunday, this 2648 02:03:38,400 --> 02:03:40,960 Speaker 2: may be the most wide open field and most wide 2649 02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:44,080 Speaker 2: open selection process we've seen in a long long time, 2650 02:03:44,160 --> 02:03:47,000 Speaker 2: which is great. I mean it means that the system 2651 02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:52,360 Speaker 2: is fair, it's balanced and there's no dominant team. And 2652 02:03:52,440 --> 02:03:54,720 Speaker 2: we saw that basically yesterday when Euston was number one 2653 02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:56,720 Speaker 2: for such a long time and they got their socks 2654 02:03:56,760 --> 02:04:00,320 Speaker 2: knocked off yesterday Biowa State. And I'm looking now in 2655 02:04:00,360 --> 02:04:03,360 Speaker 2: college football, it doesn't seem to work that way. It's 2656 02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:07,360 Speaker 2: always Alabama, Georgia and at the Ohio States and whatever 2657 02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:09,920 Speaker 2: it may be, Michigan's always up there. You don't see 2658 02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:12,800 Speaker 2: much change now. At one point in time, Nebraska is 2659 02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:16,080 Speaker 2: a big time football power. No more. What exactly happened 2660 02:04:16,120 --> 02:04:18,680 Speaker 2: to Nebraska? And why can't we see a change in 2661 02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:24,120 Speaker 2: the dynamics in college football as we see in college basketball. 2662 02:04:25,240 --> 02:04:25,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. 2663 02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:29,160 Speaker 4: I don't know why it's such a big deal. You know, 2664 02:04:29,440 --> 02:04:32,320 Speaker 4: like I look good. I don't know, like college football 2665 02:04:32,360 --> 02:04:34,360 Speaker 4: is so different. I think a lot of the pageantry, 2666 02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:36,400 Speaker 4: the tradition plays a huge. 2667 02:04:36,240 --> 02:04:36,680 Speaker 3: Role in it. 2668 02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:38,720 Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know why we can't see so 2669 02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:42,000 Speaker 4: much much change. I think it's just getting used to 2670 02:04:42,040 --> 02:04:45,000 Speaker 4: it because college football has been a certain way for 2671 02:04:45,040 --> 02:04:47,720 Speaker 4: so long. I think in basketball it has been more adaptable. 2672 02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:50,800 Speaker 4: We've seen the ever expansion of basketball. We've seen the 2673 02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:53,680 Speaker 4: many changes and iterations of basketball. I don't know why 2674 02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:56,080 Speaker 4: maybe maybe we should, maybe we should expand it. 2675 02:04:56,600 --> 02:04:59,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. And in basketball, really and truly, it'll only take 2676 02:04:59,120 --> 02:05:01,680 Speaker 2: one or two players to to have a team change 2677 02:05:01,720 --> 02:05:05,520 Speaker 2: their fortunes, where in football you really have to load up. 2678 02:05:05,960 --> 02:05:10,160 Speaker 2: And it's almost amazing that the powers remained the same 2679 02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:12,720 Speaker 2: almost on a yearly basis. You could pick up the 2680 02:05:12,800 --> 02:05:16,200 Speaker 2: national champion basically in August. You know it's going to 2681 02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:18,560 Speaker 2: be and it doesn't really change much. I want to 2682 02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:21,200 Speaker 2: see more of an even playing field. I guess because 2683 02:05:21,240 --> 02:05:24,720 Speaker 2: of the money's in the too heavyweight conferences. That's why 2684 02:05:24,760 --> 02:05:27,280 Speaker 2: it's not going to change. I mean Nebraska, as I say, 2685 02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:29,360 Speaker 2: they were a power at one point in time. I 2686 02:05:29,360 --> 02:05:31,960 Speaker 2: don't know what happened, what went wrong. It just can't 2687 02:05:31,960 --> 02:05:35,040 Speaker 2: be the coaching. It can't be the coaching that really hurt, 2688 02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:38,280 Speaker 2: because there are certain schools that change coaches and still 2689 02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:41,240 Speaker 2: are dominant in football. And I just don't understand why 2690 02:05:41,360 --> 02:05:43,920 Speaker 2: Nebraska just went down. They really went down the tubes. 2691 02:05:44,320 --> 02:05:46,080 Speaker 2: I mean, coaching is a factor, but I don't think 2692 02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:46,919 Speaker 2: it's the factor. 2693 02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:53,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say this when it comes to Nebraska. 2694 02:05:53,160 --> 02:05:57,200 Speaker 4: Nebraska lost this way. They lost who they were and 2695 02:05:57,240 --> 02:06:00,120 Speaker 4: what they were about. They tried to conform it at 2696 02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:05,040 Speaker 4: an ad who wanted to look man. He wanted to 2697 02:06:05,080 --> 02:06:08,000 Speaker 4: modernize Nebraska football, so he hired Bill Callahan. 2698 02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:09,080 Speaker 3: They went from being. 2699 02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:13,840 Speaker 4: The powerhouse option football factory that they had been to 2700 02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:16,520 Speaker 4: trying to throw it all over the yard. And once 2701 02:06:16,560 --> 02:06:19,760 Speaker 4: they went away from the recipe in the formula that 2702 02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:23,040 Speaker 4: it worked for them for so for so long, Bob Devaney, 2703 02:06:23,120 --> 02:06:26,200 Speaker 4: Tom Osborne, Frank Solis, they hadn't been able to get 2704 02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:28,720 Speaker 4: it back. And you put the genie back in the 2705 02:06:28,760 --> 02:06:32,040 Speaker 4: bottle and I look man to walk on program, all 2706 02:06:32,040 --> 02:06:34,680 Speaker 4: the things they did until they, in my mind, recommit 2707 02:06:34,800 --> 02:06:37,960 Speaker 4: to a maybe a modernized version of what they did 2708 02:06:38,080 --> 02:06:41,080 Speaker 4: with Doctor Tom. Yeah, they'll never go back to being 2709 02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:44,200 Speaker 4: the power that they once were were in the seventies, eighties. 2710 02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:44,480 Speaker 3: And nineties. 2711 02:06:44,720 --> 02:06:46,440 Speaker 2: And one of the biggest mistakes they ever made was 2712 02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:49,320 Speaker 2: firing Frank Solig had a great season that was a 2713 02:06:49,320 --> 02:06:51,920 Speaker 2: shock or two when he was fired. Yeah, I don't 2714 02:06:51,920 --> 02:06:52,760 Speaker 2: know why they did that. 2715 02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:56,280 Speaker 4: Steve, Yeah, Steve Patterson wanted more, felt like he needed 2716 02:06:56,440 --> 02:06:58,640 Speaker 4: he could do some other stuff that he that he 2717 02:06:58,800 --> 02:07:01,520 Speaker 4: that he could make it happen. Look, man, I don't know. 2718 02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:03,240 Speaker 4: I think it's one of the biggest regrets that they have. 2719 02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:05,880 Speaker 4: I'm sure that if they could do it all over 2720 02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:09,520 Speaker 4: again that they would They were kind of trying to 2721 02:07:09,800 --> 02:07:11,960 Speaker 4: revamp it, and they would be satisfied with what they 2722 02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:12,360 Speaker 4: were doing. 2723 02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:15,520 Speaker 2: I have something that's really eating in my craw and 2724 02:07:15,560 --> 02:07:17,040 Speaker 2: I touched on it a little bit last week, and 2725 02:07:17,040 --> 02:07:19,160 Speaker 2: I don't want to just kind of put some closure 2726 02:07:19,200 --> 02:07:21,000 Speaker 2: on it today if I may, if you don't mind, 2727 02:07:21,160 --> 02:07:23,720 Speaker 2: It's just Caitlyn Clark thing. When I keep on here 2728 02:07:23,760 --> 02:07:26,600 Speaker 2: and all week long, I kept on hearing it that 2729 02:07:26,680 --> 02:07:30,000 Speaker 2: she's college basketball's all time leading scorer, and she's not. 2730 02:07:30,480 --> 02:07:34,080 Speaker 2: She's college basketball it's women's all time leading scorer. And 2731 02:07:34,120 --> 02:07:37,800 Speaker 2: I did some mathematicals on this to prove my point. Okay, 2732 02:07:38,480 --> 02:07:44,480 Speaker 2: Pistol Pete Maravich played three years of varsity basketball at LSU. 2733 02:07:44,960 --> 02:07:48,440 Speaker 2: When he played, there was no three point shot. Pistol 2734 02:07:48,480 --> 02:07:53,640 Speaker 2: Pete scored three thousand, six hundred sixty seven points given 2735 02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:58,440 Speaker 2: end the story. Caitlyn Clark scored three thousand, six hundred 2736 02:07:58,720 --> 02:08:01,960 Speaker 2: eighty five points, and they claim she broke his record 2737 02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:06,120 Speaker 2: and she's the all time leading scorer. However, here's the asterisk. Okay, 2738 02:08:06,560 --> 02:08:11,360 Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark played four years. Caitlyn Clark played with a 2739 02:08:11,440 --> 02:08:15,400 Speaker 2: three point shooting goal, a three point shot which Pete 2740 02:08:15,400 --> 02:08:19,240 Speaker 2: didn't have. So here's the deal. She made one hundred 2741 02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:23,400 Speaker 2: and fifty six three point shots with total four hundred 2742 02:08:23,440 --> 02:08:26,200 Speaker 2: and six four hundred and sixty eight points. One hundred 2743 02:08:26,200 --> 02:08:29,600 Speaker 2: and fifty six times two is three hundred and twelve. 2744 02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:33,400 Speaker 2: All right, your minus the three hundred and twelve, okay, 2745 02:08:33,680 --> 02:08:38,880 Speaker 2: So that means she has three thousand, three hundred and 2746 02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:43,360 Speaker 2: seventy three points. Okay. Pistol wins in three years, not 2747 02:08:43,520 --> 02:08:47,720 Speaker 2: four years. And to me, the comparison between the two 2748 02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:51,760 Speaker 2: is ridiculous. I don't think men's sports should be compared 2749 02:08:51,800 --> 02:08:54,880 Speaker 2: to women's sports in any sport. And why they're doing 2750 02:08:54,960 --> 02:08:57,720 Speaker 2: it here in basketball it bowls me away. I don't 2751 02:08:57,760 --> 02:09:00,440 Speaker 2: understand who started it, why they started it, and the 2752 02:09:00,480 --> 02:09:03,400 Speaker 2: reason being, they have Major League Soccer and they have 2753 02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:06,120 Speaker 2: a women's National Soccer League. They don't compare stats in 2754 02:09:06,160 --> 02:09:08,880 Speaker 2: either league. They have the National Hockey League, they have 2755 02:09:08,920 --> 02:09:11,640 Speaker 2: a National Women's Hockey League. They don't compare the stats 2756 02:09:11,640 --> 02:09:13,920 Speaker 2: in either league. I don't know why they decided to 2757 02:09:13,960 --> 02:09:18,360 Speaker 2: compare the stats in women's basketball and men's basketball. I 2758 02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:22,360 Speaker 2: understand that women's basketball is flying for attention. Caitlin clock 2759 02:09:22,440 --> 02:09:24,880 Speaker 2: has given you that she's a great player. She's a 2760 02:09:24,920 --> 02:09:27,560 Speaker 2: tremendus player. She'll go on to the WNBA and do 2761 02:09:27,680 --> 02:09:30,040 Speaker 2: well there as well. She has probably done more for 2762 02:09:30,120 --> 02:09:34,480 Speaker 2: collegiate basketball, both men and women, than any other player. 2763 02:09:34,520 --> 02:09:37,600 Speaker 2: I'd say maybe in the last ten years. She's done great. 2764 02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:42,640 Speaker 2: Several weeks ago, when IOWA was playing on national TV, 2765 02:09:43,160 --> 02:09:46,120 Speaker 2: they were going against the Boston Celtic NBA game. They 2766 02:09:46,120 --> 02:09:49,440 Speaker 2: outdrew them in the ratings. She's done great, But to 2767 02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:53,040 Speaker 2: compare them is a misnomer. It's a mistake. Bucky Brooks, 2768 02:09:53,080 --> 02:09:55,760 Speaker 2: I know you're a big women's college basketball fan. You 2769 02:09:55,840 --> 02:09:58,720 Speaker 2: follow the sport very closely. Do you agree that they 2770 02:09:58,720 --> 02:10:00,680 Speaker 2: shouldn't be compared? That's what I'm saying. 2771 02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:04,840 Speaker 4: No, they probably shouldn't be compared. I mean, like it's 2772 02:10:04,880 --> 02:10:07,880 Speaker 4: a completely different game. But I was saying when we 2773 02:10:07,920 --> 02:10:11,680 Speaker 4: had this conversation a few weeks ago, it was only 2774 02:10:11,760 --> 02:10:14,160 Speaker 4: to highlight the remarkable feats. It was to bring the 2775 02:10:14,280 --> 02:10:20,080 Speaker 4: casual in. There's no direct tie between or direct comparison 2776 02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:23,040 Speaker 4: between Pistol Pete and Caitlin Clark, but it's a way 2777 02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:26,320 Speaker 4: to tie the casual fan in, little casual fan in 2778 02:10:26,320 --> 02:10:29,120 Speaker 4: to watching the game. That's really what it was about. 2779 02:10:29,320 --> 02:10:32,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, But every time I hear her clear, every time 2780 02:10:32,120 --> 02:10:34,000 Speaker 2: I hear her mentioned on TV or radio, every time 2781 02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:37,480 Speaker 2: I see a story in print, she's All Basketball College 2782 02:10:37,480 --> 02:10:40,440 Speaker 2: BASKETBS all time leading scorer, and she's not. She's college 2783 02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:44,160 Speaker 2: basketball's women's all time leading scorer. And that bugs me, 2784 02:10:44,200 --> 02:10:47,280 Speaker 2: you know, And I'm surprised that the people at LSU 2785 02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:51,840 Speaker 2: don't jump on that and say something to the fact that, look, 2786 02:10:52,160 --> 02:10:55,360 Speaker 2: the old time leading college score is pistol p Maravich 2787 02:10:55,560 --> 02:10:58,800 Speaker 2: and he did it in three years, and I don't 2788 02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:00,600 Speaker 2: get it. And look, I think it was a class 2789 02:11:00,680 --> 02:11:03,600 Speaker 2: move on the part of Maravich's family because when she 2790 02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:06,960 Speaker 2: did break that quote break the record, they came out 2791 02:11:06,960 --> 02:11:10,680 Speaker 2: and congratulated her on whatever. More or less, they didn't say, no, 2792 02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:13,560 Speaker 2: she didn't break the record. It was my dad who 2793 02:11:13,600 --> 02:11:16,640 Speaker 2: broke the record. Pete Maravich broke the record. But you know, look, 2794 02:11:16,800 --> 02:11:18,760 Speaker 2: maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mohill. Maybe 2795 02:11:18,760 --> 02:11:21,280 Speaker 2: I'm going too far, Maybe I'm pushing something that won't 2796 02:11:21,280 --> 02:11:24,000 Speaker 2: be moved. I don't know, But to me, it bugs 2797 02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:25,920 Speaker 2: me because I think it's wrong. I just don't think 2798 02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:28,200 Speaker 2: you compare, and especially in this day and age with 2799 02:11:28,320 --> 02:11:31,800 Speaker 2: trans athletes when they have men swimming versus women on 2800 02:11:31,880 --> 02:11:34,840 Speaker 2: swimming teams, and it's crazy, So why would you compare 2801 02:11:34,880 --> 02:11:37,160 Speaker 2: the two. It just it doesn't make any sense to me. 2802 02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:39,400 Speaker 2: So I'll leave it at that. If you have any comments, 2803 02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:42,440 Speaker 2: we'll certainly take phone calls at eight seven seven ninety 2804 02:11:42,520 --> 02:11:45,400 Speaker 2: nine on Fox eight seven seven nine ninety six sixty three, 2805 02:11:45,520 --> 02:11:48,080 Speaker 2: sixty nine, and of course at Bucket Brooks, at Andy 2806 02:11:48,080 --> 02:11:50,840 Speaker 2: Furman FSR. And last but not least, if I may, 2807 02:11:51,400 --> 02:11:54,440 Speaker 2: it's hard to believe, buck it really is that a 2808 02:11:54,480 --> 02:11:57,800 Speaker 2: week from Thursday, I believe, is opening day at least 2809 02:11:57,800 --> 02:12:00,560 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati for Major League Baseball, and you don't hear 2810 02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:02,680 Speaker 2: a peep. You don't hear a peep. There has been 2811 02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:07,040 Speaker 2: more conversation on NFL free agency, which is not even 2812 02:12:07,080 --> 02:12:09,400 Speaker 2: a game, but it's I guess, more important than the 2813 02:12:09,480 --> 02:12:12,760 Speaker 2: minds of many more important free agency news. Why baseball 2814 02:12:12,800 --> 02:12:14,960 Speaker 2: starts for a week and not a peep about Major 2815 02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:17,320 Speaker 2: League Baseball, which tells me if I worked in Major 2816 02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:20,640 Speaker 2: League baseball, I'm concerned. I think that's a major problem. 2817 02:12:20,720 --> 02:12:24,000 Speaker 2: I think it's a big time problem. 2818 02:12:24,080 --> 02:12:26,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it is a huge problem, the fact 2819 02:12:26,120 --> 02:12:28,360 Speaker 4: that there's no buzz around baseball. I can't really figure 2820 02:12:28,360 --> 02:12:30,240 Speaker 4: out why there's no buzz. And I'm a baseball fan, 2821 02:12:30,640 --> 02:12:34,520 Speaker 4: but I mean it's kind of creeping up on us quickly. Yeah, 2822 02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:36,120 Speaker 4: and no one is talking about it. 2823 02:12:36,120 --> 02:12:38,560 Speaker 2: It's kind of just just a weird for me, you know. 2824 02:12:39,080 --> 02:12:42,360 Speaker 2: I want to throw out some possibilities why maybe there's 2825 02:12:42,400 --> 02:12:46,600 Speaker 2: no buzz. I mean, I understand that in many people's 2826 02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:50,080 Speaker 2: minds that baseball now has become quote somewhat of a 2827 02:12:50,160 --> 02:12:57,320 Speaker 2: foreign sport. Perhaps people from Japan, the Far East, whatever 2828 02:12:57,320 --> 02:13:02,280 Speaker 2: it may be, Central America, wherever it may be, non 2829 02:13:02,320 --> 02:13:05,280 Speaker 2: English speaking athletes are playing baseball. That could be a problem. 2830 02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:09,440 Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. I don't know why the popularity 2831 02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:12,640 Speaker 2: has soured, or maybe it's not popular, just the interesting 2832 02:13:12,920 --> 02:13:15,560 Speaker 2: the coverage factor. I don't know. I can't put a 2833 02:13:15,600 --> 02:13:18,280 Speaker 2: finger on it. But if i'm major League Baseball, I'm concerned. 2834 02:13:18,640 --> 02:13:21,320 Speaker 2: And maybe there's no real face of the game of baseball. 2835 02:13:21,360 --> 02:13:25,040 Speaker 2: Perhaps so Tony. Maybe I may show Tony could be 2836 02:13:25,040 --> 02:13:27,640 Speaker 2: the face of baseball, but he doesn't speak English, so 2837 02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:29,440 Speaker 2: I don't know, But who would you say would be 2838 02:13:29,480 --> 02:13:32,080 Speaker 2: the face of the NFL like it is Patrick Mahomes, 2839 02:13:32,240 --> 02:13:36,280 Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey. What baseball needs is a romance like Kelsey 2840 02:13:36,320 --> 02:13:39,080 Speaker 2: and Travis Swift. Maybe that's what they'd be, Taylor Swift, 2841 02:13:39,160 --> 02:13:40,200 Speaker 2: Maybe that's what they need. 2842 02:13:41,800 --> 02:13:44,760 Speaker 4: I think Patrick Mahomes would be the face just because 2843 02:13:45,080 --> 02:13:47,320 Speaker 4: the way that they've won, the way they continue to win, 2844 02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:51,880 Speaker 4: how popular he is, and he's a dominant player. To me, 2845 02:13:52,120 --> 02:13:55,800 Speaker 4: that's a I would think he would be it. I 2846 02:13:55,800 --> 02:13:57,520 Speaker 4: think I don't really don't think he were close. 2847 02:13:57,840 --> 02:14:00,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I know you're a baseball fan. 2848 02:14:00,360 --> 02:14:02,200 Speaker 2: I just you know, and I'm not gonna say it 2849 02:14:02,200 --> 02:14:04,400 Speaker 2: bothers me, but I just you know, if I worked 2850 02:14:04,400 --> 02:14:07,080 Speaker 2: in Major League baseball, i'd be concerned. And maybe the 2851 02:14:07,120 --> 02:14:09,640 Speaker 2: season is too long, you know, that's a possibility too. 2852 02:14:09,640 --> 02:14:11,600 Speaker 2: I always live less is more and the fact that 2853 02:14:11,640 --> 02:14:14,160 Speaker 2: every game means so much in the National Football League, 2854 02:14:14,240 --> 02:14:16,040 Speaker 2: he plays so many games, one hundred and sixty two 2855 02:14:16,040 --> 02:14:18,600 Speaker 2: ball games, just you know, starting in March and ending 2856 02:14:18,640 --> 02:14:21,360 Speaker 2: in November. It's long. It's a long season. So I 2857 02:14:21,360 --> 02:14:23,560 Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe people have some ideas. Again, you can 2858 02:14:23,600 --> 02:14:25,760 Speaker 2: get to us at eight seven seven nineteen n on Fox. 2859 02:14:25,840 --> 02:14:27,760 Speaker 2: All right, this we have a little bit of this, 2860 02:14:27,800 --> 02:14:29,640 Speaker 2: a little bit of that, and of course that Bucket 2861 02:14:29,640 --> 02:14:32,400 Speaker 2: Brooks had Andy Ferman FSR eight seven seven ninety n 2862 02:14:32,560 --> 02:14:37,200 Speaker 2: on Fox. Now, football is a serious business in this state. 2863 02:14:37,560 --> 02:14:41,600 Speaker 2: We'll tell you all about that next.

Red from Portland. You're on with Bucket 2877 02:15:17,840 --> 02:15:20,920 Speaker 2: Brooks and Andy Furman. How you doing, Red, Andy? 2878 02:15:21,240 --> 02:15:26,080 Speaker 10: Bucky, I love you guys, and Andy, I want to 2879 02:15:26,160 --> 02:15:29,960 Speaker 10: tag off of your take of Caitlin Clark versus pystol 2880 02:15:29,960 --> 02:15:33,800 Speaker 10: Pete Marrivich. There's one important aspect you left out of 2881 02:15:33,840 --> 02:15:37,240 Speaker 10: that in the difference between the Marrivich era and what 2882 02:15:37,400 --> 02:15:40,560 Speaker 10: we see today. There was no shot cart back when 2883 02:15:40,640 --> 02:15:43,640 Speaker 10: pistol Pete played. So there are games there was a 2884 02:15:43,680 --> 02:15:45,200 Speaker 10: game and you can look it up. 2885 02:15:45,360 --> 02:15:48,720 Speaker 9: Where teams used to stall. There's an SEC game with 2886 02:15:48,840 --> 02:15:53,440 Speaker 9: Tennessee and I think Auburn where Tennessee won eleven to six. 2887 02:15:54,200 --> 02:15:57,000 Speaker 9: So teams used to throw the stall at Marriviage to 2888 02:15:57,120 --> 02:16:00,720 Speaker 9: scroll it down, and that's one aspect for out about it. Now, 2889 02:16:00,760 --> 02:16:05,520 Speaker 9: that's a great point this year's March Madness. There are 2890 02:16:05,600 --> 02:16:08,760 Speaker 9: so many ones and twos that got knocked out. There's 2891 02:16:08,880 --> 02:16:13,120 Speaker 9: even a ten seed that won their conference tournament, which 2892 02:16:13,160 --> 02:16:16,400 Speaker 9: means all these lower seats getting in this year like 2893 02:16:16,560 --> 02:16:20,240 Speaker 9: never before a ten seed. They had to win five 2894 02:16:20,360 --> 02:16:21,640 Speaker 9: games in five nights. 2895 02:16:21,640 --> 02:16:24,440 Speaker 10: Now, I remember what it was like being nineteen twenty. 2896 02:16:24,320 --> 02:16:27,000 Speaker 9: Years old and playing him rat ball. 2897 02:16:26,840 --> 02:16:30,000 Speaker 10: And rec league. I can't ever remember playing five nights 2898 02:16:30,040 --> 02:16:33,800 Speaker 10: in a row. The heartbeats kids are showing is unbelievable. 2899 02:16:34,080 --> 02:16:36,160 Speaker 10: And this year's March Madness is going to be. 2900 02:16:36,160 --> 02:16:36,879 Speaker 9: The best ever. 2901 02:16:37,600 --> 02:16:39,440 Speaker 2: You know, hold off for a said because I have 2902 02:16:39,480 --> 02:16:42,320 Speaker 2: a thought process on that, because the other night in 2903 02:16:42,360 --> 02:16:45,320 Speaker 2: the Big twelve tournament, University of Cincinni was playing Kansas 2904 02:16:45,560 --> 02:16:47,640 Speaker 2: and Cincinnati beating Hi by about twenty. But you know, 2905 02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:50,760 Speaker 2: a truth being known, Kansas was missing two of his startist. 2906 02:16:51,080 --> 02:16:53,480 Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Kansas bans and the Kansas coaching staff, 2907 02:16:53,480 --> 02:16:56,600 Speaker 2: and they had not seen that concern. And you bring 2908 02:16:56,680 --> 02:16:58,959 Speaker 2: up a great point playing five games in five days 2909 02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:02,160 Speaker 2: and winning all five. I don't think the coaches care 2910 02:17:02,680 --> 02:17:06,040 Speaker 2: that greatly if you get knocked out of the conference tournament, 2911 02:17:06,080 --> 02:17:07,800 Speaker 2: if in fact, you know you're going to play in 2912 02:17:07,800 --> 02:17:10,880 Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament anyway, because you'd rather have these guys 2913 02:17:10,959 --> 02:17:14,160 Speaker 2: rest and get healthy than win that conference tournament. Maybe 2914 02:17:14,160 --> 02:17:16,760 Speaker 2: I'm crazy, Bucky. What's your take on that. I think 2915 02:17:16,800 --> 02:17:18,879 Speaker 2: it's not that big of a deal. You're going to 2916 02:17:18,920 --> 02:17:22,280 Speaker 2: the tournament anyway. Like yesterday Houston got kicked pretty good 2917 02:17:22,480 --> 02:17:25,480 Speaker 2: by Iowa State, but they're going anyway, and they still 2918 02:17:25,480 --> 02:17:26,680 Speaker 2: may be a number one seed. 2919 02:17:28,040 --> 02:17:29,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's something to that. 2920 02:17:30,080 --> 02:17:33,760 Speaker 4: I know. Back Roy Williams for North Carolina never put 2921 02:17:33,800 --> 02:17:36,760 Speaker 4: a lot of stock into the ACC tournament. It was 2922 02:17:36,800 --> 02:17:39,160 Speaker 4: more about the regular season, because the regular season title 2923 02:17:39,560 --> 02:17:42,760 Speaker 4: would guarantee you pretty much a good seed. The tournament 2924 02:17:43,320 --> 02:17:45,080 Speaker 4: is a grind, and if you think about the grind 2925 02:17:45,120 --> 02:17:46,800 Speaker 4: of the tournament, there was the NC state that he 2926 02:17:46,879 --> 02:17:49,600 Speaker 4: was referencing. Having to play five games in five days. 2927 02:17:49,640 --> 02:17:52,040 Speaker 4: I can leave you kind of worn down, and so 2928 02:17:52,080 --> 02:17:53,960 Speaker 4: you wonder how much juice are they going to have 2929 02:17:54,080 --> 02:17:56,480 Speaker 4: left when they get to the next round. Now, they 2930 02:17:56,560 --> 02:17:59,480 Speaker 4: needed to win the tournament to get into the NC DOUBLEA. 2931 02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:03,840 Speaker 4: But it's like Carolina, man, sometimes you do wonder if 2932 02:18:03,840 --> 02:18:06,040 Speaker 4: you better serve, lose early in the tournament, get back 2933 02:18:06,080 --> 02:18:09,800 Speaker 4: to practice, get ready for the NCAA, because at the 2934 02:18:09,920 --> 02:18:13,240 Speaker 4: end of the day, everyone is judged in this six team, 2935 02:18:13,440 --> 02:18:16,199 Speaker 4: this six game tournament that is about to take place 2936 02:18:16,280 --> 02:18:19,040 Speaker 4: next weekend. If you win six games in a row, 2937 02:18:19,240 --> 02:18:21,879 Speaker 4: you're crowned national title. And at the end of it, 2938 02:18:21,920 --> 02:18:23,280 Speaker 4: that's all that anybody cares about. 2939 02:18:23,440 --> 02:18:25,920 Speaker 2: You're exactly right, You're right, really, you're still there. 2940 02:18:26,879 --> 02:18:29,039 Speaker 10: I still am, Yes, sure, Can I say you one 2941 02:18:29,080 --> 02:18:35,879 Speaker 10: more thing? A Dutch Nafari Dante their center, refuse to 2942 02:18:35,959 --> 02:18:39,480 Speaker 10: let the Ducks lose that team. I would not want 2943 02:18:39,520 --> 02:18:42,400 Speaker 10: to be playing that team. And Dana Olm and their. 2944 02:18:42,280 --> 02:18:46,080 Speaker 9: Coach is so underrated. Andy Bucky, thanks for. 2945 02:18:46,080 --> 02:18:48,000 Speaker 10: Letting we get on this morning with you guys. 2946 02:18:48,440 --> 02:18:50,680 Speaker 2: Thank you have a great day. There we go. You know, 2947 02:18:50,720 --> 02:18:52,880 Speaker 2: there are certain teams in this tournament right now that 2948 02:18:53,080 --> 02:18:55,200 Speaker 2: you mentioned this tens, I mean team like Temple is 2949 02:18:55,240 --> 02:18:57,280 Speaker 2: in the tournament right now, and I don't know if 2950 02:18:57,280 --> 02:18:59,199 Speaker 2: that's good to a band. I remember several years ago 2951 02:18:59,440 --> 02:19:02,720 Speaker 2: when sat was the darling and Loyal of Chicago is 2952 02:19:02,760 --> 02:19:05,200 Speaker 2: the darling of the tournament, and they talk about, you know, 2953 02:19:05,560 --> 02:19:09,000 Speaker 2: the teams that just have no chance whatsoever, and then 2954 02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:11,360 Speaker 2: Saint Peter's comes back and they'd be Kentucky in the 2955 02:19:11,360 --> 02:19:13,520 Speaker 2: first round. So you know, I think it makes a 2956 02:19:13,560 --> 02:19:17,000 Speaker 2: great storyline. But you know, sometimes maybe these teams don't 2957 02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:18,800 Speaker 2: even deserve to be in the tournament. But you win 2958 02:19:18,840 --> 02:19:21,280 Speaker 2: five games in five days, you deserve to be there. 2959 02:19:21,480 --> 02:19:23,280 Speaker 2: You deserve to be in the tournament. Even if you 2960 02:19:23,320 --> 02:19:25,320 Speaker 2: got knocked out in the first round, you deserve to 2961 02:19:25,360 --> 02:19:27,680 Speaker 2: be there. I just can't imagine playing five games in 2962 02:19:27,720 --> 02:19:28,320 Speaker 2: five days. 2963 02:19:29,920 --> 02:19:33,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is tough, but I mean adrenaline can carry 2964 02:19:33,520 --> 02:19:35,720 Speaker 4: you a long way, and we've seen it do it. 2965 02:19:35,720 --> 02:19:39,400 Speaker 4: We've seen it had that kind of effect on teams, 2966 02:19:39,400 --> 02:19:43,120 Speaker 4: and NC State was able to benefit from it. It 2967 02:19:43,280 --> 02:19:46,760 Speaker 4: looks it's a grind, but that's also why marsh Madness 2968 02:19:46,840 --> 02:19:50,400 Speaker 4: is a season to itself. It's unlike the regular season. 2969 02:19:50,760 --> 02:19:54,160 Speaker 4: You can see all the upsets. College basketball is great 2970 02:19:54,200 --> 02:19:55,359 Speaker 4: now because of the parody. 2971 02:19:55,840 --> 02:19:56,680 Speaker 3: You really don't know. 2972 02:19:56,760 --> 02:19:59,279 Speaker 4: The difference between the good teams and the great teams 2973 02:19:59,640 --> 02:20:01,600 Speaker 4: is not as much as it used to be, and 2974 02:20:01,640 --> 02:20:02,160 Speaker 4: so you got. 2975 02:20:02,080 --> 02:20:03,959 Speaker 3: To bring you a game each and every week. 2976 02:20:05,080 --> 02:20:06,920 Speaker 2: Well, you know, they talk about the term cinderella. You 2977 02:20:07,280 --> 02:20:10,520 Speaker 2: don't see cinderella teams winning because they don't deserve to 2978 02:20:10,560 --> 02:20:12,440 Speaker 2: be on the same court at times as these are 2979 02:20:12,520 --> 02:20:15,640 Speaker 2: the teams now. Look right now, the teams that are 2980 02:20:15,879 --> 02:20:19,760 Speaker 2: favorites heavy favorites. I like Dan Hurley. I think he's 2981 02:20:19,800 --> 02:20:21,840 Speaker 2: a great coach. I know him. I'd like to see 2982 02:20:21,879 --> 02:20:23,840 Speaker 2: him do well, and he's done well, and they won 2983 02:20:23,879 --> 02:20:26,920 Speaker 2: the Big East Tournament last night by Beanie Marquette. I 2984 02:20:27,040 --> 02:20:30,240 Speaker 2: just don't think it's good or healthy for college basketball 2985 02:20:30,480 --> 02:20:32,840 Speaker 2: for Connecticut to repeat. It'd be great for him and 2986 02:20:32,840 --> 02:20:34,959 Speaker 2: great for Connecticut and great for the Big East, but 2987 02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:36,760 Speaker 2: I'd like to see someone else win it. I think 2988 02:20:36,760 --> 02:20:38,320 Speaker 2: it was a great story this year to kind of 2989 02:20:38,360 --> 02:20:42,120 Speaker 2: win almost unnoticed. The fact that Houston their first year 2990 02:20:42,160 --> 02:20:44,520 Speaker 2: in the Big Twelve they won the conference. I think 2991 02:20:44,600 --> 02:20:47,640 Speaker 2: that's amazing. I think there's tremendous what they've done. Again, 2992 02:20:47,680 --> 02:20:50,280 Speaker 2: they got spanked yesterday, but again I don't think there 2993 02:20:50,320 --> 02:20:52,920 Speaker 2: was not much concern because I think they know going 2994 02:20:52,959 --> 02:20:55,119 Speaker 2: in A they're going to be in the tournament, and 2995 02:20:55,160 --> 02:20:57,440 Speaker 2: B they may still be the number one seed, so 2996 02:20:57,680 --> 02:21:00,240 Speaker 2: you know, for Connecticut to repeat, I don't think. I think 2997 02:21:00,200 --> 02:21:02,680 Speaker 2: it's a great thing for college basketball, That's all I'm saying. 2998 02:21:02,720 --> 02:21:04,920 Speaker 2: And they may very well compete because I think they're 2999 02:21:04,959 --> 02:21:07,680 Speaker 2: probably head and shoulders above others. And really, if you 3000 02:21:07,720 --> 02:21:09,680 Speaker 2: look at their roster, they don't have many of those 3001 02:21:09,680 --> 02:21:12,320 Speaker 2: five star mc donald all Americans, which tells me what 3002 02:21:12,440 --> 02:21:14,440 Speaker 2: kind of a great coach Dan Hurley really is. 3003 02:21:16,240 --> 02:21:18,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean like they're in defending champs. They have 3004 02:21:18,320 --> 02:21:20,520 Speaker 4: a formula and a recipe that works. I actually think 3005 02:21:20,520 --> 02:21:23,760 Speaker 4: it is good for them to make a run. I 3006 02:21:23,760 --> 02:21:28,160 Speaker 4: think we all benefit from Dynastics situations, teams that we 3007 02:21:28,200 --> 02:21:30,160 Speaker 4: can kind of grow to love and hate because it 3008 02:21:30,720 --> 02:21:34,480 Speaker 4: brings interest and intrigue and you either love to wash 3009 02:21:34,600 --> 02:21:36,600 Speaker 4: him to see them lose or he loved to watch 3010 02:21:36,720 --> 02:21:40,280 Speaker 4: them because you were a fan. I think going into 3011 02:21:40,320 --> 02:21:43,200 Speaker 4: the tournament is not only Yukon is Houston. There'd be 3012 02:21:43,240 --> 02:21:46,360 Speaker 4: some interests around Carolina Purdue because Zach Edy two time 3013 02:21:46,400 --> 02:21:50,880 Speaker 4: player of the Year. They will look, it's wide open. 3014 02:21:51,120 --> 02:21:53,920 Speaker 4: It's going to be wide open, no matter what people say, 3015 02:21:54,000 --> 02:21:55,840 Speaker 4: like you won't be able to predict it. The final 3016 02:21:55,840 --> 02:21:57,920 Speaker 4: four probably won't have the top four seeds in it. 3017 02:21:58,640 --> 02:22:00,760 Speaker 4: You got to watch and that's one of the best. 3018 02:22:00,800 --> 02:22:02,320 Speaker 4: That's what makes it so great. 3019 02:22:03,120 --> 02:22:05,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was surprised with that Purdue loss yesterday too, 3020 02:22:05,560 --> 02:22:07,879 Speaker 2: but again I don't think there was that much concern. 3021 02:22:07,920 --> 02:22:10,160 Speaker 2: They lost to Wisconsin in overtime. That was a great game, 3022 02:22:10,680 --> 02:22:13,600 Speaker 2: and Wisconsin's coming on like Gangbusters too down the stretch, 3023 02:22:13,640 --> 02:22:15,560 Speaker 2: so I think they won their last five. So it's 3024 02:22:16,120 --> 02:22:18,640 Speaker 2: kind of crazy. That makes her a great tournament. But 3025 02:22:18,680 --> 02:22:22,039 Speaker 2: it's not great for gamblers, I wouldn't think, because you know, again, 3026 02:22:22,280 --> 02:22:23,960 Speaker 2: being wide open, I don't know who you put your 3027 02:22:23,959 --> 02:22:27,600 Speaker 2: money on. So this pool and the tournament challenge that 3028 02:22:27,680 --> 02:22:29,840 Speaker 2: Fox is gonna have, the bracket challenge, they have to 3029 02:22:29,879 --> 02:22:32,360 Speaker 2: be wide open. I'd like to see who wins that one. 3030 02:22:32,400 --> 02:22:34,480 Speaker 2: That's gonna be real big and that starts tonight, so 3031 02:22:34,480 --> 02:22:37,080 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens there. All right. He's Bucky Brooks. 3032 02:22:37,440 --> 02:22:39,800 Speaker 2: I'm Andy Furman. This is Fox Sports Sunday and Fox 3033 02:22:39,800 --> 02:22:42,680 Speaker 2: Sports Radio.

Long Beach State won the 3050 02:23:31,040 --> 02:23:33,560 Speaker 2: Big West Tournament. They beat UC Davis in the finals 3051 02:23:33,600 --> 02:23:37,600 Speaker 2: seventy four to seventy.

Neil Funny, 3072 02:24:41,040 --> 02:24:43,560 Speaker 2: we should be talking about Nebraska football that we did 3073 02:24:43,640 --> 02:24:47,000 Speaker 2: just a little while back. The Governor of Nebraska, Jim Pillin, 3074 02:24:47,280 --> 02:24:50,000 Speaker 2: he said at the Nebraska Athletic there at the TRUV Alberts, 3075 02:24:50,040 --> 02:24:53,279 Speaker 2: his sudden decision to take the same job at Texas 3076 02:24:53,320 --> 02:24:57,039 Speaker 2: A and M obviously was disappointing, and he implored get this, 3077 02:24:57,360 --> 02:25:00,720 Speaker 2: The governor of the state of Nebraska implored the university's 3078 02:25:00,959 --> 02:25:04,039 Speaker 2: Board of Regions the other day to act quickly to 3079 02:25:04,120 --> 02:25:07,360 Speaker 2: fill vacant leadership positions. That's big that the governor's getting 3080 02:25:07,400 --> 02:25:10,440 Speaker 2: involved with the football program. Why wouldn't it Because he's 3081 02:25:10,480 --> 02:25:13,560 Speaker 2: a former regent in Nebraska and he played football for 3082 02:25:13,600 --> 02:25:16,840 Speaker 2: the Cornersters from seventy six to seventy eight. He issued 3083 02:25:16,879 --> 02:25:19,960 Speaker 2: for a call for action less than twenty four hours 3084 02:25:20,200 --> 02:25:22,959 Speaker 2: after the Alberts announcement going to Texas A and M. 3085 02:25:23,120 --> 02:25:25,520 Speaker 2: That's pretty big. Get the governor involved. I mean, I 3086 02:25:25,560 --> 02:25:29,520 Speaker 2: remember years ago when Kentucky and Louisville would not play 3087 02:25:29,560 --> 02:25:32,160 Speaker 2: each other in basketball, would not play each other in 3088 02:25:32,200 --> 02:25:36,920 Speaker 2: basketball or in football. The governor of the state or commonwealth, 3089 02:25:36,959 --> 02:25:39,959 Speaker 2: excuse me, the governor of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky 3090 02:25:40,200 --> 02:25:43,720 Speaker 2: got involved and implored them, and now they play, Kentucky 3091 02:25:43,760 --> 02:25:46,480 Speaker 2: and Louisville play. It's amazing. I mean, you get you know, 3092 02:25:46,560 --> 02:25:48,840 Speaker 2: sports is important, right Buck, I mean you got to 3093 02:25:48,840 --> 02:25:50,640 Speaker 2: go a way up to the governor to get things 3094 02:25:50,640 --> 02:25:52,920 Speaker 2: done sometimes in the world of sports. 3095 02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:56,400 Speaker 4: Well, the word of college athletics in particularly because it's 3096 02:25:56,440 --> 02:26:00,760 Speaker 4: such a huge economic driver. You think about the majority 3097 02:26:00,800 --> 02:26:03,600 Speaker 4: of these public institutions, like all these guys are state employees, 3098 02:26:03,640 --> 02:26:06,280 Speaker 4: and they have a huge impact on the economy. It's 3099 02:26:06,320 --> 02:26:09,720 Speaker 4: in the best interests of the politicians in those areas 3100 02:26:09,720 --> 02:26:12,600 Speaker 4: to make sure that they have the best and brightest 3101 02:26:12,640 --> 02:26:15,000 Speaker 4: in those fields because it changes the dynamic when it 3102 02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:15,720 Speaker 4: comes to the money. 3103 02:26:16,200 --> 02:26:17,959 Speaker 2: There you go, Okay, I talked about an end of 3104 02:26:17,959 --> 02:26:21,640 Speaker 2: a tradition. This is big. I mean really, and surely 3105 02:26:21,680 --> 02:26:24,200 Speaker 2: you meditate the Kleenex out for this. You may very 3106 02:26:24,200 --> 02:26:27,240 Speaker 2: well be upset now for more than a quarter century, 3107 02:26:27,760 --> 02:26:32,280 Speaker 2: fans of the Philadelphia Phillies considered dollar hot Dog Night 3108 02:26:32,760 --> 02:26:36,720 Speaker 2: among the best ballpark promotions for the entire summer. But 3109 02:26:36,879 --> 02:26:42,400 Speaker 2: now the Phillies decided no more the dog days of April, 3110 02:26:42,840 --> 02:26:45,520 Speaker 2: when the weather is cold of Philadelphia and the wieners 3111 02:26:45,560 --> 02:26:49,480 Speaker 2: are a steel, They're going, going gone. It's all over. 3112 02:26:49,760 --> 02:26:53,760 Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Phillies officially ended the popular promotion just the 3113 02:26:53,800 --> 02:26:57,240 Speaker 2: other day, and they replaced dollar hot dogs on selected 3114 02:26:57,320 --> 02:27:00,440 Speaker 2: dates with a two for one deal at two games 3115 02:27:00,440 --> 02:27:04,280 Speaker 2: in the month of April at their Citizens Bank Baseball Park. Now, 3116 02:27:04,879 --> 02:27:07,240 Speaker 2: the teak out with a statement and said the change 3117 02:27:07,280 --> 02:27:11,480 Speaker 2: was made quote based on the organization's ongoing commitment to 3118 02:27:11,560 --> 02:27:15,280 Speaker 2: provide a positive experience for all fans in attendance. Well 3119 02:27:15,320 --> 02:27:18,920 Speaker 2: you know what what wasn't positive about Dollar Dog Night. Well, 3120 02:27:18,920 --> 02:27:23,160 Speaker 2: I'll tell you the fans were on with projectile Frankfurter 3121 02:27:23,320 --> 02:27:27,480 Speaker 2: is and someone ruly Philadelphia fans began chucking their favorite 3122 02:27:28,040 --> 02:27:31,480 Speaker 2: meat during the game last year, and the hot dogs 3123 02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:34,680 Speaker 2: were soaring like cans of corn throughout the stands on 3124 02:27:34,720 --> 02:27:38,200 Speaker 2: the field. It's unbelievable. Really. The demand for the discount 3125 02:27:38,200 --> 02:27:41,920 Speaker 2: hot dogs also led to clogged lanes if not. Clogged 3126 02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:45,480 Speaker 2: arteries on the concourse and the cramped spaces led to 3127 02:27:45,560 --> 02:27:48,879 Speaker 2: security and safety concerns. It is a shame, you know, 3128 02:27:48,920 --> 02:27:51,320 Speaker 2: it's a shame. Think about that hot dog night. The 3129 02:27:51,400 --> 02:27:54,800 Speaker 2: dollar hot dog are gone. That's finished. And now I 3130 02:27:54,879 --> 02:27:57,680 Speaker 2: remember back as a kid, they used to have bat Day. 3131 02:27:57,760 --> 02:28:00,640 Speaker 2: Remember bat day at baseball games. They don't have that 3132 02:28:00,680 --> 02:28:02,920 Speaker 2: anymore because they're people get a hit over the head 3133 02:28:02,920 --> 02:28:06,600 Speaker 2: with a baseball bat. What has happened? Is it the alcohol? 3134 02:28:06,720 --> 02:28:09,120 Speaker 2: The unruly? I don't get it. Bat Day was a 3135 02:28:09,120 --> 02:28:11,280 Speaker 2: big day when I was a kid. You go out there, 3136 02:28:11,280 --> 02:28:13,320 Speaker 2: you get a baseball bat, you come home. Then after 3137 02:28:13,360 --> 02:28:15,680 Speaker 2: a while, when there was so much unruliness, they gave 3138 02:28:15,720 --> 02:28:17,840 Speaker 2: the bat to you on the way out of the ballpark. 3139 02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:20,520 Speaker 2: Now they don't even have it at all. It's gone finished. 3140 02:28:20,560 --> 02:28:23,240 Speaker 2: No more bad day. What's happening? Bucket, Come on, there's 3141 02:28:23,240 --> 02:28:25,400 Speaker 2: gotta be a reason for this. I want bat Day 3142 02:28:25,400 --> 02:28:28,360 Speaker 2: and a dollar hot dog night back. I want them back. 3143 02:28:29,520 --> 02:28:31,960 Speaker 4: Well, if fans can behave and you can bring those 3144 02:28:31,959 --> 02:28:34,960 Speaker 4: things back. But if you're having a string of bad behavior, 3145 02:28:35,480 --> 02:28:37,560 Speaker 4: you can't do those things. If you're talking about people 3146 02:28:37,560 --> 02:28:40,360 Speaker 4: slinging meat all across the stands and then you have 3147 02:28:40,440 --> 02:28:43,680 Speaker 4: people whipping each other with bats. You can't do it. 3148 02:28:43,760 --> 02:28:45,360 Speaker 4: You don't want to be responsible for that. 3149 02:28:45,680 --> 02:28:47,160 Speaker 2: But maybe that's only Philadelphia. 3150 02:28:48,200 --> 02:28:48,680 Speaker 3: No, it's not. 3151 02:28:48,800 --> 02:28:50,520 Speaker 4: I mean I think I think you're seeing a changing 3152 02:28:50,600 --> 02:28:55,240 Speaker 4: dynamic with fans becoming increasingly more hostile, with players, players 3153 02:28:55,240 --> 02:28:56,520 Speaker 4: pointing out fans getting them. 3154 02:28:56,480 --> 02:28:58,320 Speaker 3: Kicked out for the things that they say. 3155 02:28:58,360 --> 02:29:01,680 Speaker 4: I think everybody's behavior has been on edge, and part 3156 02:29:01,720 --> 02:29:04,800 Speaker 4: of that is the changing culture that we live in 3157 02:29:04,879 --> 02:29:07,160 Speaker 4: has kind of made it acceptable where people act like 3158 02:29:07,160 --> 02:29:09,920 Speaker 4: that when they're out and about. But you know, when 3159 02:29:09,920 --> 02:29:12,560 Speaker 4: you act like that, like their consequences. You can't do 3160 02:29:12,600 --> 02:29:15,360 Speaker 4: certain things because teams don't want to be liable for 3161 02:29:15,560 --> 02:29:17,440 Speaker 4: the bad stuff that could happen when you allow that 3162 02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:18,720 Speaker 4: behavior to go on. 3163 02:29:19,040 --> 02:29:20,720 Speaker 2: Well, I will tee you this much. I don't feel 3164 02:29:20,720 --> 02:29:22,840 Speaker 2: real comfortable going to a baseball game and almost getting 3165 02:29:22,840 --> 02:29:25,800 Speaker 2: strip search getting into the ballpark. Really, I mean really, 3166 02:29:25,840 --> 02:29:28,040 Speaker 2: you know, there was a time where people come there 3167 02:29:28,080 --> 02:29:30,520 Speaker 2: like with like an overnight bag. You know, they bring 3168 02:29:30,560 --> 02:29:33,640 Speaker 2: like hot dough, they bring their own sandwiches, food, drink, 3169 02:29:33,720 --> 02:29:35,480 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. You can't bring anything in there 3170 02:29:35,520 --> 02:29:37,600 Speaker 2: right now. You can't even bring an umbrella to a 3171 02:29:37,600 --> 02:29:40,520 Speaker 2: baseball game for fear you're gonna hit somebody with the umbrella. 3172 02:29:40,600 --> 02:29:42,119 Speaker 2: You got to check it out at the door, whatever 3173 02:29:42,160 --> 02:29:43,920 Speaker 2: it may be, at the gate. But you come into 3174 02:29:43,920 --> 02:29:45,840 Speaker 2: a baseball game right now, you know you got to 3175 02:29:45,840 --> 02:29:47,680 Speaker 2: put your hands over your head and then they've got 3176 02:29:47,680 --> 02:29:50,320 Speaker 2: the wand all over you. It's said, it really is said, 3177 02:29:50,440 --> 02:29:53,400 Speaker 2: what they're doing at sporting events. And I guess you're right, 3178 02:29:53,400 --> 02:29:56,280 Speaker 2: the unruly fans are things may be happening at ballgames, 3179 02:29:56,280 --> 02:29:59,400 Speaker 2: but you know, it's just an uneasy feeling when you 3180 02:29:59,440 --> 02:30:01,520 Speaker 2: get to the ball park and next thing you know, 3181 02:30:01,720 --> 02:30:03,760 Speaker 2: take your watch off, take your ring out. But you 3182 02:30:03,840 --> 02:30:06,000 Speaker 2: got any keys, put them out there, put your wallet 3183 02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:08,920 Speaker 2: out there. They put it on the revolving conveyor belt, 3184 02:30:08,920 --> 02:30:12,160 Speaker 2: if you will, and they gut you through the tunnel there, 3185 02:30:12,320 --> 02:30:13,760 Speaker 2: and if the BEPA goes up, you got to go 3186 02:30:13,800 --> 02:30:15,360 Speaker 2: back and go through it again. It's like getting on 3187 02:30:15,400 --> 02:30:19,400 Speaker 2: a plane. It's unbelievable. Really, it's just it's sad. I mean, 3188 02:30:19,760 --> 02:30:21,879 Speaker 2: and again I don't know when and where and why 3189 02:30:21,920 --> 02:30:24,600 Speaker 2: it started, but it's just a it's not a good feeling, 3190 02:30:24,640 --> 02:30:26,520 Speaker 2: and it's not good. I mean, you want to go 3191 02:30:26,560 --> 02:30:28,640 Speaker 2: there and have fun, and you're afraid something may happen 3192 02:30:28,840 --> 02:30:30,879 Speaker 2: at a ball game, and hopefully it will never happen. 3193 02:30:30,920 --> 02:30:34,039 Speaker 2: But I just don't like happening things like that. Going 3194 02:30:34,040 --> 02:30:37,160 Speaker 2: to a baseball game shouldn't happen. Just not good. I 3195 02:30:37,160 --> 02:30:40,880 Speaker 2: don't get it. What about Carolina and then you won't 3196 02:30:40,879 --> 02:30:41,360 Speaker 2: see to have. 3197 02:30:41,360 --> 02:30:44,800 Speaker 4: That too, I mean, no, you can't have like those 3198 02:30:44,840 --> 02:30:47,640 Speaker 4: things like. So the thing is, you have this heavy 3199 02:30:47,680 --> 02:30:50,520 Speaker 4: security pad down for the longest time. I don't think 3200 02:30:50,600 --> 02:30:53,440 Speaker 4: North Carolina will that you have. Man, I don't even 3201 02:30:53,480 --> 02:30:55,160 Speaker 4: know if you could drink beer and stuff at those 3202 02:30:55,200 --> 02:30:58,080 Speaker 4: games because you're trying to keep all the stuff down. Yeah, 3203 02:30:58,160 --> 02:31:01,800 Speaker 4: it was, it's a little different. It definitely is not 3204 02:31:03,320 --> 02:31:04,840 Speaker 4: how it used to be. But I think you're trying 3205 02:31:04,879 --> 02:31:06,800 Speaker 4: to protect I mean you're trying to guard against like 3206 02:31:07,600 --> 02:31:11,280 Speaker 4: poor behavior from fans. 3207 02:31:10,600 --> 02:31:12,080 Speaker 3: That's just what it is. 3208 02:31:12,280 --> 02:31:14,520 Speaker 4: Fans have to learn how to behave like if they 3209 02:31:14,520 --> 02:31:17,240 Speaker 4: behave with then you have these issues. But a lot 3210 02:31:17,280 --> 02:31:20,360 Speaker 4: of that is a big part of why you have 3211 02:31:20,440 --> 02:31:27,119 Speaker 4: to impose these actions to protect fans from each other. 3212 02:31:27,480 --> 02:31:28,760 Speaker 2: I'll tell you a funny story. If you're going to 3213 02:31:28,840 --> 02:31:30,480 Speaker 2: a Cincinati Bengal game. I don't know if they still have. 3214 02:31:30,560 --> 02:31:32,000 Speaker 2: I know the last time I went to a game, 3215 02:31:32,240 --> 02:31:34,400 Speaker 2: I think about a year or so ago. On the 3216 02:31:34,440 --> 02:31:37,040 Speaker 2: electric school board, that have what they call a jerk line. 3217 02:31:37,160 --> 02:31:39,080 Speaker 2: If you're sitting next to someone who's bothering you and 3218 02:31:39,120 --> 02:31:41,320 Speaker 2: the guys that could jerk, there's a special phone number 3219 02:31:41,360 --> 02:31:43,879 Speaker 2: to call and they'll have a security guard come down 3220 02:31:43,879 --> 02:31:46,920 Speaker 2: to your section and maybe it's kind of ended problem 3221 02:31:47,080 --> 02:31:49,640 Speaker 2: or remove the jerk the jerk line. I mean, you 3222 02:31:49,879 --> 02:31:52,360 Speaker 2: think about that. When you played, there was no such 3223 02:31:52,360 --> 02:31:54,400 Speaker 2: thing as a jerk line. Now I've got jerk lines 3224 02:31:54,600 --> 02:31:57,200 Speaker 2: at games. I don't get it. And maybe gambling got 3225 02:31:57,200 --> 02:31:59,520 Speaker 2: something to do with that. Really, you know, people get upset, 3226 02:31:59,560 --> 02:32:01,560 Speaker 2: they have a lot of money on the game, and 3227 02:32:01,800 --> 02:32:05,040 Speaker 2: you know the alcohol combined with the gambling. I don't 3228 02:32:05,040 --> 02:32:06,880 Speaker 2: know what the answer is. But you know when you 3229 02:32:06,959 --> 02:32:09,800 Speaker 2: tell somebody there's a jerk line to call, that's said, 3230 02:32:09,959 --> 02:32:11,840 Speaker 2: it really is. But we move on. I got some 3231 02:32:11,879 --> 02:32:16,240 Speaker 2: positive news for you now. Winthrop University, located in rock Hill, 3232 02:32:16,320 --> 02:32:21,440 Speaker 2: South Carolina, recently awarded scholarships to appear of extremely talented 3233 02:32:21,680 --> 02:32:24,000 Speaker 2: high school. You want to take a guess what the 3234 02:32:24,040 --> 02:32:32,279 Speaker 2: sport was cornhole? Cornhole cornhole players, Yes, college scholarships for cornhole, 3235 02:32:32,520 --> 02:32:35,280 Speaker 2: the game you play with a cold beer on the 3236 02:32:35,280 --> 02:32:39,720 Speaker 2: fourth of July. How's that cornhole? Okay? The bean bag 3237 02:32:39,879 --> 02:32:45,760 Speaker 2: toss target game played in various bars tailgate parties, exploded 3238 02:32:45,800 --> 02:32:49,720 Speaker 2: into a legitimate competitive sport with professional players, and obviously 3239 02:32:49,840 --> 02:32:52,240 Speaker 2: you could see it on TV on the Full Letter Network. Okay, 3240 02:32:52,400 --> 02:32:55,199 Speaker 2: they have a coach now, but it's not an NCAA 3241 02:32:55,320 --> 02:32:57,760 Speaker 2: sport and there's no current efforts to make it when 3242 02:32:57,800 --> 02:33:01,199 Speaker 2: that's what I'm told. But cornhole, which has its annual 3243 02:33:01,400 --> 02:33:05,200 Speaker 2: collegiate championship in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, made a lot 3244 02:33:05,200 --> 02:33:07,520 Speaker 2: of regional sense for these two kids. And they go 3245 02:33:07,560 --> 02:33:10,320 Speaker 2: to Winthrope, which is a Division one school which doesn't 3246 02:33:10,320 --> 02:33:13,800 Speaker 2: have football, has already made a major investment in video 3247 02:33:13,879 --> 02:33:17,760 Speaker 2: gaming ET sports. Where is now a national power in esports? 3248 02:33:17,920 --> 02:33:20,280 Speaker 2: How do you like that? So cornhole? If you're a 3249 02:33:20,320 --> 02:33:23,959 Speaker 2: cornhole player, all right, I know there's no NCAA sport 3250 02:33:24,080 --> 02:33:28,760 Speaker 2: for that, But Winthrop University and rock Hill, South Carolina 3251 02:33:28,920 --> 02:33:32,520 Speaker 2: is giving scholarships in cornhole, and the athletic director's name 3252 02:33:32,600 --> 02:33:35,520 Speaker 2: is Chuck ray r e Y. You could write to 3253 02:33:35,640 --> 02:33:39,160 Speaker 2: Chuck Ray, if you're an outstanding cornhole player? Have you 3254 02:33:39,160 --> 02:33:41,800 Speaker 2: ever played the game of cornhole? Bucky? 3255 02:33:42,959 --> 02:33:46,920 Speaker 4: I have as much like horseshoes, but right, right, right, yeah, 3256 02:33:46,959 --> 02:33:48,880 Speaker 4: so yeah, I've played it before. 3257 02:33:49,360 --> 02:33:53,160 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. But these kids they said that, you know, really, 3258 02:33:53,200 --> 02:33:55,519 Speaker 2: they're not local kids. They're from the state of Colorado, 3259 02:33:55,959 --> 02:33:59,240 Speaker 2: and they're they're high level players in the game of cornhole. 3260 02:33:59,440 --> 02:34:02,359 Speaker 2: I guess. And they got this coach now, Dusty Thompson 3261 02:34:02,720 --> 02:34:06,680 Speaker 2: at Rockhill in Winthrop, and he's going to get them 3262 02:34:06,680 --> 02:34:09,160 Speaker 2: and go out recruiting for players, and I guess. You 3263 02:34:09,200 --> 02:34:11,360 Speaker 2: know what, when you think about it, you know, I 3264 02:34:11,360 --> 02:34:14,520 Speaker 2: think it's great. I think every kid who goes to 3265 02:34:14,720 --> 02:34:19,279 Speaker 2: a college or university should be exposed to some extracurricular activity. 3266 02:34:19,480 --> 02:34:21,160 Speaker 2: And you may not be a great athlete. You may 3267 02:34:21,160 --> 02:34:23,480 Speaker 2: not be a football or basketball player. You know, maybe 3268 02:34:23,520 --> 02:34:25,400 Speaker 2: you're not fast enough to run on the track or 3269 02:34:25,440 --> 02:34:28,520 Speaker 2: cross country team, but there's got to be some experience 3270 02:34:28,560 --> 02:34:33,440 Speaker 2: that you could learn from and do as something that 3271 02:34:33,520 --> 02:34:36,440 Speaker 2: will carry you on after you graduate school. I think 3272 02:34:36,440 --> 02:34:39,720 Speaker 2: it's great. So my hat's off to Winthrop University in 3273 02:34:39,800 --> 02:34:42,800 Speaker 2: rock Hill, South Carolina for the Cornhole Scholarship how do. 3274 02:34:42,760 --> 02:34:43,400 Speaker 3: You like that? 3275 02:34:43,080 --> 02:34:48,160 Speaker 2: That's great?

But I talk about sportsmanship right here, Buck, 3301 02:36:04,200 --> 02:36:09,920 Speaker 2: how's this? We have a Division three basketball coach Manhattanville College, 3302 02:36:10,120 --> 02:36:15,160 Speaker 2: Division three, the men's coach Chris Alessi. He had a 3303 02:36:15,160 --> 02:36:19,760 Speaker 2: great season this year, finished eighteen and ten. But this guy, 3304 02:36:20,240 --> 02:36:25,199 Speaker 2: coach Alessi, dresses twenty one guys on the bench for games. 3305 02:36:25,600 --> 02:36:28,280 Speaker 2: And I asked, how comes so many? He says, I 3306 02:36:28,400 --> 02:36:32,080 Speaker 2: refuse to cut anybody. You put in the effort, you 3307 02:36:32,200 --> 02:36:34,920 Speaker 2: find the time, you make the team. How do you 3308 02:36:35,040 --> 02:36:37,360 Speaker 2: like that? How many coaches are like that? Now? I 3309 02:36:37,360 --> 02:36:38,959 Speaker 2: guess you can't afford to do that on the D 3310 02:36:39,080 --> 02:36:41,800 Speaker 2: one level, But the Division three, what there's no scholarships 3311 02:36:41,879 --> 02:36:43,760 Speaker 2: you could do that. I love that. You know, you 3312 02:36:43,800 --> 02:36:45,680 Speaker 2: put in the time, you make the effort, show off 3313 02:36:45,720 --> 02:36:47,920 Speaker 2: the practice, you're on the team, you got a uniform. 3314 02:36:48,080 --> 02:36:50,480 Speaker 2: I love that and you're a coach, would you have 3315 02:36:50,560 --> 02:36:52,000 Speaker 2: the same philosophy as that buck. 3316 02:36:54,200 --> 02:36:54,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 3317 02:36:54,480 --> 02:36:56,720 Speaker 4: I mean, like I like, the more you play, the 3318 02:36:56,720 --> 02:36:59,080 Speaker 4: more players you played, the better the morale is on 3319 02:36:59,120 --> 02:37:01,360 Speaker 4: the team. So if there's a way where you can 3320 02:37:01,400 --> 02:37:04,039 Speaker 4: get as many guys on the floor on the field 3321 02:37:04,400 --> 02:37:06,480 Speaker 4: as possible, yeah, you want to be able to do it. 3322 02:37:06,520 --> 02:37:08,840 Speaker 4: But those guys have to understand it's just not a 3323 02:37:08,920 --> 02:37:12,119 Speaker 4: charity situation. You have to be good enough to carve 3324 02:37:12,160 --> 02:37:14,000 Speaker 4: out a role where you can be productive and a 3325 02:37:14,000 --> 02:37:16,520 Speaker 4: contributing member of the team. But if you can do it, 3326 02:37:16,520 --> 02:37:18,760 Speaker 4: it's only positive. It's never no negatives to it. 3327 02:37:19,200 --> 02:37:21,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you talk about sportsmanship. First of all, I 3328 02:37:21,280 --> 02:37:23,440 Speaker 2: think that if you're trying out for the team, you 3329 02:37:23,520 --> 02:37:25,520 Speaker 2: feel in your own heart of hearts you have enough 3330 02:37:25,520 --> 02:37:27,640 Speaker 2: talent to make the team. So I don't think that'll 3331 02:37:27,680 --> 02:37:29,600 Speaker 2: be a problem right there. But you know, I read 3332 02:37:29,640 --> 02:37:31,840 Speaker 2: this story and the thing that comes to mind is 3333 02:37:31,879 --> 02:37:35,800 Speaker 2: like the situation like when the Yukon women's basketball will 3334 02:37:35,840 --> 02:37:38,000 Speaker 2: roll up the score and they'll beat an opponent by 3335 02:37:38,040 --> 02:37:40,440 Speaker 2: forty fifty sixty points and they won't even clear the 3336 02:37:40,440 --> 02:37:42,800 Speaker 2: benchers to got their starting five in there. That to 3337 02:37:42,840 --> 02:37:46,600 Speaker 2: me is like an unsportsmanship, putting your foot on the 3338 02:37:46,600 --> 02:37:49,400 Speaker 2: guy's throat and just letting it roll. You got to 3339 02:37:49,440 --> 02:37:52,520 Speaker 2: stop that. And this is just a nice little story here, 3340 02:37:52,680 --> 02:37:55,240 Speaker 2: which you don't hear enough of in the world of sports, 3341 02:37:55,280 --> 02:37:57,879 Speaker 2: at least in collegiate sports. I don't know why they 3342 02:37:57,920 --> 02:38:00,520 Speaker 2: continue to roll up those scores. I don't know what proves. 3343 02:38:00,680 --> 02:38:02,959 Speaker 2: I just don't get it. But you made a great point. 3344 02:38:03,120 --> 02:38:05,640 Speaker 2: I mentioned this, I think to you a while back. 3345 02:38:05,959 --> 02:38:09,000 Speaker 2: I saw Cincinnati play Penn State and football way back 3346 02:38:09,400 --> 02:38:12,400 Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty years ago, when Joe Peturna was coaching, 3347 02:38:12,840 --> 02:38:16,000 Speaker 2: and I think Penn State won like sixty one zip, 3348 02:38:16,200 --> 02:38:17,840 Speaker 2: and they asked Paturna at the end of the game, 3349 02:38:18,200 --> 02:38:20,440 Speaker 2: you know, why would you roll up the score? He says, Look, 3350 02:38:20,600 --> 02:38:23,040 Speaker 2: I have my third team in there, and they bust 3351 02:38:23,080 --> 02:38:25,520 Speaker 2: their button practice, and when they get a chance to 3352 02:38:25,560 --> 02:38:28,119 Speaker 2: play in the game, it's like a snowball rolling downhill. 3353 02:38:28,160 --> 02:38:30,440 Speaker 2: You can't stop it. They want to prove to everybody 3354 02:38:30,480 --> 02:38:33,000 Speaker 2: and my coaching staff as well, that they could play too. 3355 02:38:33,160 --> 02:38:36,440 Speaker 2: So it's tough. It's but at least he emptied the bench. 3356 02:38:36,680 --> 02:38:38,560 Speaker 2: Some of these coaches don't even then empty the bench. 3357 02:38:40,120 --> 02:38:43,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the sportsmanship is at a weird spot 3358 02:38:43,080 --> 02:38:45,760 Speaker 4: right now. Like so it's you know, do you do 3359 02:38:45,840 --> 02:38:47,560 Speaker 4: you run it up? Do you keep playing? Do you 3360 02:38:47,640 --> 02:38:49,520 Speaker 4: let your back us play? Do you let them play 3361 02:38:49,520 --> 02:38:53,600 Speaker 4: without restriction, meaning you let them run the offense as 3362 02:38:53,600 --> 02:38:56,560 Speaker 4: it has been installed and allowed them to get experience? 3363 02:38:56,640 --> 02:38:58,120 Speaker 4: Do it? Or do you want them just kind of 3364 02:38:58,160 --> 02:39:01,160 Speaker 4: dribble out the shod clock and play. I think some 3365 02:39:01,240 --> 02:39:02,720 Speaker 4: of it is you have to do us in the 3366 02:39:02,720 --> 02:39:04,879 Speaker 4: best interest of your own program, and you can't coach 3367 02:39:04,959 --> 02:39:06,160 Speaker 4: or worry about the other team. 3368 02:39:06,720 --> 02:39:07,840 Speaker 3: The other team made me bad. 3369 02:39:07,840 --> 02:39:09,600 Speaker 4: But if you establish it, this is how we played, 3370 02:39:09,600 --> 02:39:12,320 Speaker 4: just how we played with anybody and everybody, whether we're 3371 02:39:12,440 --> 02:39:16,800 Speaker 4: up ten down ten, our goal is the feature a 3372 02:39:16,840 --> 02:39:18,840 Speaker 4: bunch of horror playing players making it happen. 3373 02:39:19,400 --> 02:39:21,440 Speaker 2: There you go. I have one more story for you, 3374 02:39:22,640 --> 02:39:25,920 Speaker 2: a little bit, A little bit of that. The California 3375 02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:29,199 Speaker 2: Highway Patrol they said there was a brief traffic delay 3376 02:39:29,240 --> 02:39:33,080 Speaker 2: on a highway when a pickup truck spilled hundreds of 3377 02:39:33,200 --> 02:39:37,360 Speaker 2: rolls of toilet paper on the roadway. The CHP the 3378 02:39:37,400 --> 02:39:41,440 Speaker 2: California Highway Patrol said three boxes of toilet paper fell 3379 02:39:41,480 --> 02:39:44,080 Speaker 2: from the back of the ford f three point fifty 3380 02:39:44,360 --> 02:39:48,240 Speaker 2: on the Interstate five Freeway near cal Grove Boulevard, and 3381 02:39:48,320 --> 02:39:52,119 Speaker 2: said that Clarita just the other day, and footage from 3382 02:39:52,160 --> 02:39:56,199 Speaker 2: the scene shows traffic was backed up as CHP offices 3383 02:39:56,520 --> 02:40:01,000 Speaker 2: throw rolls of toilet paper over the cement barrier separating 3384 02:40:01,040 --> 02:40:04,040 Speaker 2: the roadway from a construction site. And you could say, 3385 02:40:04,040 --> 02:40:06,520 Speaker 2: these guys must have really been full of it. How 3386 02:40:06,560 --> 02:40:08,879 Speaker 2: do you like that? A lot of toilet paper on 3387 02:40:08,920 --> 02:40:09,400 Speaker 2: the highway. 3388 02:40:10,160 --> 02:40:11,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of toilet paper on the highway not 3389 02:40:11,879 --> 02:40:12,960 Speaker 4: too far from where I'm at. 3390 02:40:13,040 --> 02:40:15,520 Speaker 2: But really, Oh, so you heard it?
