1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports. 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 2: Oh what's going on, everybody? I hope you're enjoying your 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 2: late night slash early morning. You got some mayhem going on. 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: Let's have some mayhem together, shall we. How about we 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 2: do a little dance together here. Uh, the NFL Draft 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 2: is on my mind. That's not the only thing. We'll 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: get to the NBA playoffs and all that good stuff. 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: But the NFL Draft is just so good and so 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: interesting to me because, you know what, it reminds me 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: of music. I was thinking about this right before the show. 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: I'm thinking, you know how certain people have certain musical tastes. 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: You know, they might think this band is great, and 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: then you talk to your next friend and they think 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: that band is the worst thing ever. That's sort of 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: what the NFL draft is like. Someone thinks this prospect 16 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: is the best thing ever, and the next person says, 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: you're out of your mind. That person isn't any good. Whatever. 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: That's the way it goes. And just like music, there 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: are certain opinions from others that don't bother you at all. 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: It's like, hey, it's kind of crazy. It's he thinks 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: that I don't know. Sammy Hagar was better in Van 22 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: Halen than David Lee Wrought. That's ridiculous, you know, but 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: it doesn't keep you up at night. But every now 24 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: and then someone will say something so outlandish about a musician, 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: an artist, what have you, that it might just bend 26 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: you completely out of shape. You know. If someone were 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: to say that Jimmy Hendrix was overrated, I might lose 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: my freaking mind, you know. And that's how it is 29 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: when it comes to draft picks. If someone says, oh, 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: I think Anthony Richardson is going to be outstanding the 31 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: new Colts quarterback, you might shrug your shoulders and say, eh, 32 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: maybe yeah. Well, but if somebody says something like, uh, 33 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: Will Levis is gonna be the best quarterback out of 34 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: this whole group, someone I might start throwing things against 35 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: the wall, like what are you saying right now? That's 36 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 2: what the NFL draft is like to me, And when 37 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 2: you start going through it, that's what really stands out 38 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: is that let's take CJ. Stroud in particular. Okay, new 39 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 2: Houston Texans quarterback. There's some people that are really high 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: on the guy. There's some people that think this is 41 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: a great fit. They had an outstanding draft. You get 42 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: two of the top five prospects on most boards. When 43 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 2: you get CJ. Stroud and Will Anderson Junior, it's oh, 44 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: this is great, man, what an outstanding job they won 45 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 2: the first round. These Houston Texans, You'll get a lot 46 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: of that. There are people who believe that I'm not 47 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 2: one of them. I'm not one of those people. And again, 48 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 2: just like music, this is where we're just going to differ. 49 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: I'm a big heavy metal guy. You might not be. 50 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: That's fine, But we're all gonna wait and see what 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: happens with all these draft picks. But I'll give you 52 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 2: my reasoning. As far as c J. Stroud goes, c J. 53 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: Stroud had a who's who of weapons around him at 54 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: the Ohio State Okay, he has at minimum at minimum 55 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 2: four first round draft picks around him, so the last 56 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: two seasons he had. Two years ago at Ohio State, 57 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: he had Garrett Wilson, He was the tenth overall pick 58 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: last year offensive Rookie of the Year with the New 59 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: York Jets headed out Standing Rookie season. Also two seasons ago, 60 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: c J. Stroud had Chris Olave, eleventh overall pick. In 61 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: last year's draft, he had a really strong season as 62 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: a rookie with the Saints last year with who exactly 63 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: thrown him the football? Andy Dalton, Jamis Taysom like to 64 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: put up a thousandards with that three headed monster throwing 65 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: you the Ball's pretty impressive. No, Michael Thomas all year, 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: So doesn't stop there. 67 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: C J. 68 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: Stroud also had two seasons ago mainly Jackson Smith and 69 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: Jigba JSN was banged up This past year at Ohio State. 70 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: Only had five catches, but two seasons ago he had 71 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: ninety five catches. Just freaking havoc in the slot. He 72 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: goes twentieth overall first wide receiver off the board in 73 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 2: this year's draft to the Seahawks. Oh And, by the way, 74 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 2: this past season, c J. Stroud had Marvin Harrison Junior, 75 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: who would have been the first wide receiver in this 76 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: year's draft, will be the first wide receiver most likely 77 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: in next year's draft. So at minimum, he's got four 78 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: first round wide receivers around him, four of them. Okay, 79 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: Abuka wasn't bad, fleming not bad, but let's just that's 80 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: just added c sitting over four first round wide receivers. 81 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: So what do the Texans do these guys? They say, look, 82 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: we've got all this draft capital that we got from 83 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: the Deshaun Watson trade. Instead of all I don't know 84 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: drafting wide receivers and weapons for CJ. Stroud to throw to, 85 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: which is what he's accustomed to. Let's just package most 86 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: of those picks and trade up and get Will Anderson 87 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: Junior out of Ohio, out of Alabama, who might be 88 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: a really good bro. He might be the real deal 89 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 2: in the NFL. But he doesn't play offense. Okay, he's 90 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: not gonna double as a tight end or a like 91 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: a really large slot receiver. It's not gonna happen. He 92 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: plays defense. Again, he might be good, but he's not 93 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: a weapon for CJ. Stroud to utilize. I'm just out 94 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: on Stroud. I don't buy it. I think that CJ. Stroud, 95 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: although he put up monstrous numbers at Ohio State, most 96 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: of it had to do with the outstanding talent around him. Oh. 97 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: By the way, Paris Johnson Junior, his left tackle, was 98 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: the sixth overall pick. Just think about that. For CJ. 99 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: Stroud to enjoy comparable talent in the NFL, what would 100 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: it take. It would take the tenth overall pick to 101 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: get Garrett Wilson. It take the eleventh overall pick to 102 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: get Chris Olave, it would take the twentieth overall pick 103 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 2: to get Jackson Smith and Jigba. It'd probably take another 104 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: top five pick to get Marvin Harrison Junior. That's not 105 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: gonna happen. Ever, for CJ. Stroud with the Texans or 106 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: whatever team he plays for in the NFL, not gonna happen. 107 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: So I just don't buy into this where CJ. Stroud 108 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: is going to whatnot skip a beat when he's surrounded 109 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: by half the talent initially at least initially in Houston 110 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: that he had in college. When he's going up against I, 111 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 2: you and Maryland. That's the other thing with CJ. Stroud 112 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: that's funny to me is he was he was outstanding. 113 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,559 Speaker 2: He was amazing against Georgia in the semi final game. 114 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: But the game before that against Michigan at home, where 115 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: he didn't show up, that's just a distant memory. It's 116 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: all about the Georgia game where he is he was outstanding, 117 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: he was great. I won't take anything away from him, 118 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: But the previous game, like literally the game before that, 119 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: he didn't show up against Michigan at home. So but whatever, whatever, 120 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: I just don't buy it. You might, But that's the 121 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: beauty of the draft is I'll I read a lot 122 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: of stuff about, Hey, what was the best pick? Hey, 123 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: what did you like the most Day one of the draft? 124 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: And there was a lot of oh, man, I'll tell 125 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: you what Nick Cassario and the Houston Texans man and 126 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: what a job they did to get both c J. 127 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: Stroud and Will Anderson junior major Hall. You know, all 128 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: this flowery, just optimistic stuff. I don't see it that way. 129 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: You remember the commercial from the Super Bowl. You might 130 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: remember this one. It was for some like like a 131 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: Jeep or some some automobile, some car, something like that, 132 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: and the concept was this baby needed her binkie. And 133 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: the guy, the father's just driving all over town and 134 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: just making his way back to the house, all the 135 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: way back to the girl and he gets the binkie 136 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: and the mom goes, oh, she doesn't like that color. 137 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: However she says it, She's like, oh, she needs the 138 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: purple one or whatever like That's CJ. Stroud, okay. And 139 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: what I mean by that is this CJ. Stroud at 140 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: Ohio State, he had so much talent around him. He 141 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: could be that picky, you know what I mean, like, oh, 142 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: that's the wrong color binky, Like I it needs to 143 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: be the purple one, not the yellow one. That's just 144 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: not gonna suffice over here. And now with the Houston 145 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 2: Texans have done, it's like they have this newborn, you know, 146 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: and instead of hey, let's get the crib and let's 147 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: get the pacifier, let's get toys, let's get oh, I 148 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 2: don't know things that the baby needs, let's just that's 149 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 2: throw them in a cardboard box and it'll be fine. 150 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: We'll figure it out along the way. That's what the 151 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: Houston Texans just did with CJ. Stroud. They haven't surrounded 152 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: him with hardly anything. And he's supposed to what just 153 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: like not skip a beat when he's going up against 154 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: teams with better talent at the highest level in football, 155 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: and it's what he's not accustomed to whatsoever compared to 156 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: what he had out Ohio State. I think they're I 157 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: really do. And I think the analysis is even drunker. 158 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: It's like, oh, the Houston Texans, look at what these 159 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: guys have done. This is unbelievable unless you think that 160 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 2: Nathaniel Dell, you know, Tank Dell out of Houston a 161 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: third round pick unless you think that he can be 162 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: what would be like Marvin Harrison, Junior Jackson Smith and Jigba, 163 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave all in one, unless you think 164 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: mister Dell over here has supernatural powers. Yeah, it's probably 165 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: not gonna be enough. Probably not gonna be enough, is 166 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: Uh That's how I see it over there. But you're 167 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 2: welcome to weigh in on that. 168 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: I know. 169 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 2: I know. It's almost like proceed with caution with opinions 170 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: regarding NFL players and NFL teams because I know I 171 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: know how it goes. Like certain fan bases have some 172 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 2: grown ups, but most fan bases have these like Braddy 173 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: kids who want to live in Fantasyville where every pick 174 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: was amazing and we're destined for greatness and you're just 175 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: a hater and I hate this freaking guy. Why is 176 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: he even on right now? He's normally not on right now? 177 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: Where's Bernie? You know that's how it typically goes, But uh, 178 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 2: look man, it's uh, I just don't see it. I 179 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: don't see it with c. J. Stroud or the Houston 180 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: Texans in terms of what they have done laying the 181 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: groundwork I'm not expecting to finish product. Okay, they had 182 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: the number two pick overall for a reason. Their record 183 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: was trash. They have a lot of holes on that roster. 184 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: But man, how you start the race it matters. And 185 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 2: I always say this, this is so cheesy. Is uh 186 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 2: the race starts with the first step? You know, something 187 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: along those lines. I don't have a memorized, but it 188 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: would be like the Texans instead of starting the marathon 189 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: with a good first step, It's like they just said, 190 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: you know what, let me the race has started. Let 191 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: me let me mess with my Spotify playlist right here. 192 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: And nah, I don't want I can't listen to nothing 193 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: else matters to start off this marathon. We need something 194 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: with some kick over here. Let's at least go sad 195 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: but true. You know, they're just sitting there at the 196 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: start line. They haven't started. The race is started, and 197 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 2: they're just sitting there and they're like, you know what, 198 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: I should probably hydrate a little before. Let me go 199 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: over to this standover here that's you know, a football 200 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 2: field backwards. Let me just walk over there and I'll 201 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: get It's like, what do you do? You gotta start 202 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: the race over here? Get CJ. Stroud some freaking weapons 203 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 2: and they haven't done it, and to act like it 204 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 2: doesn't matter at all, but he's just gonna make it happen. 205 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 2: I think it's reckless. I think it's ridiculous, and I 206 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: don't know a lot of people just start looking at 207 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: it that way.

Tirac dot 211 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should. There is so much 212 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: on my mind right now, so much. How about this. 213 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: We'll get into this coming up next. The brock Purty effect. Yeah, 214 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 2: that's what it's being called. Brock Purty was mister Irrelevant 215 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: and last year's draft went on to play pretty well 216 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: for the San Francisco forty nine ers. And so the 217 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: thought is that many of these teams in this year's 218 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 2: draft they try to recapture the magic. They went quarterback heavy. 219 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: There were fourteen quarterbacks selected in this year's draft, so 220 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: we got to get into that. I feel like we 221 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 2: only talked about four guys, maybe five if you included 222 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: Hendon Hooker, and it's as if only those four or 223 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: five guys could possibly pan out. You know, we spent 224 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 2: so much time on that. But let's go over the 225 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: QB list over here. Eagles are on my mind. What 226 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: they've done sort of a perfect storm if you really 227 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 2: think about it, the perfect recipe for an overreaction, I 228 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: feel like. And then also Hoops Hoops on the mind. 229 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 2: The Nuggets off to a nice start in their series 230 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: against the Suns. They smack around Phoenix to the tune 231 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: to one twenty five to one oh seven, Jamal Murray 232 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: drops thirty four points. Simple question, will attack this hour? 233 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: Who has the most at steak? Is it Yokich? Is 234 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: it Chris Paul? Is it Kevin Durant? What would be 235 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: your order in terms of who has the most at 236 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: steak in that series and in the playoffs altogether. So 237 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: I've got a lot going on over here, A lot 238 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: going on, lot going on.

We can't have just you know, 253 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: like an exchange of opinions. It has to be as 254 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: nasty as humanly possible.

Man oh Man, 276 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: still just kind of coming down from the high of 277 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 2: the NFL Draft, You know what I'm saying to come 278 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: to you live from the Tireck dot com studios and man, 279 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: just information overload over here on the draft band. But 280 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: interesting stuff. Fourteen quarterbacks taken? How about that? And I 281 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 2: caught the part where Adam Schefter, he was on ESPN's 282 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: coverage and he said, this is believed by many to 283 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 2: be the Brock Purty effect. That's right, the forty nine 284 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: Ers quarterback who was the last pick in last year's draft, 285 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: mister irrelevant, and he started a bunch of games when 286 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: like Trey Lance and then Jimmy Garoppolo went down. So 287 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 2: incomes brock Purty. Played pretty well all things considered. They 288 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: end up in the NFC Championship game. You got hurt 289 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: against the Eagles, but he did far more than anybody 290 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 2: thought he would in his rookie season. And so Schefter 291 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: was saying, all these quarterbacks just flying off the board. 292 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: There were five quarterbacks chosen in the fifth round, you know, 293 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: three in the fourth round. So you have fourteen quarterbacks 294 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 2: all together taken, and it's believed by many to be 295 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: the brock Purty effect. Listen, I wonder how many of 296 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 2: these guys would have gone undrafted. I don't know how 297 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: extensive the list would be. Of the fourteen that were drafted, 298 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: how many don't go drafted? If brock Purdy just holds 299 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: a clipboard all last season. Let's say Jimmy g never 300 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: gets hurt and brock Purdy never saw the field. Should 301 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: I believe that these fourteen quarterbacks that did get drafted 302 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: were looking at what like nine eight? I don't know. 303 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: I don't know how big of an effect Purdy had, 304 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 2: but that's what many believe it is. And so some 305 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 2: of these arterbacks where they went. It's pretty interesting. Jake Hayner, 306 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: so the Fresno State quarterback, he goes to the Saints. 307 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 2: That's obviously interesting because the Saints just got Derek Carr, 308 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: who went to the same school, went to Fresno State. 309 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 2: You're seeing this a lot more often. The Eagles are 310 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: doing this. The Eagles are just drafting Georgia players left 311 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: and right. Like Howie Roseman, he went to Florida. It's amazing. 312 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 2: It sounds like he went to Georgia at this rate. 313 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 2: But they're just stockpilon Georgia players. Will get more into 314 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 2: that here momentarily, but you're seeing more teams do this 315 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 2: where it's hey, let's let's draft a couple of these 316 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 2: dudes from the same school, or you know, these guys 317 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: are familiar with each other, Let's let's get some continuity 318 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 2: over here. You see that more and more these days. 319 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 2: The Eagles are taking it to an extreme level with 320 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: stockpiling picks from Georgia. But you saw that in a 321 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 2: small degree. I don't think that this thinking with the Saints. 322 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong on this one. I don't think 323 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: the Saints are like, oh yeah, Derek Carr went to 324 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: Fresno State. Jake Hayner went to Fresno State. When when 325 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 2: here we go. You know, I don't think that was 326 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: much of a consideration. It's more of like, oh wow, 327 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: that's kind of an interesting coincidence. You've got Stetson Bennett 328 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: back to back national champion for Georgia. You would just 329 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 2: automatically assume he went to the Eagles, right. I feel 330 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: like any Georgia bulldog has a good chance to go 331 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 2: to the Eagles. Oh, he doesn't play defense. That's why 332 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: he goes to the Rams. Not a horrible spot. Back 333 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: up Matthew Stafford for I don't know how long. It's 334 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: a good question is how much longer does Matthew Stafford go? 335 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 2: How much longer is he doing this? Just playing quarterback 336 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 2: in the NFL has been banged up a lot, certainly 337 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: nicked up quite a bit last season. There were a 338 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 2: few rumors of, hey, is he maybe gonna walk away? 339 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 2: Is he gonna retire? Or are they gonna look at Baker Mayfield? 340 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 2: Is maybe their quarterback? You put him in in light 341 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 2: pencil heading into the draft, and then Matthew Stafford said 342 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: he would be back. But the question remains how much 343 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: longer is he doing this? So for Stetson Bennett as 344 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 2: a fourth round pick to back up Stafford learn on 345 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 2: the job a little bit, not a bad spot. Look, man, 346 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: I'm not envisioning this guy being like Dak Prescott. Dak 347 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 2: Prescott was a fourth round pick. I don't think that's 348 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 2: gonna be the case. But hey, I didn't think Dak 349 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 2: Prescott was gonna turn out to be as good as 350 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 2: he is, Aidan O'Connell. He's the Purdue quarterback. He goes 351 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 2: to the Raiders and he's gonna back up Jimmy g 352 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 2: So that's initially what I look at is what team 353 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 2: are these guys going to and what are their chances 354 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: to get on the field, and if they do get 355 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 2: on the field, how much talent is around him? All 356 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 2: that type of stuff. That's where I think Stetson Bennett. 357 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 2: If Matthew Stafford gets hurt, which he's gotten hurt quite 358 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: a bit, Stetson Bennett's got a lot of talent around him. 359 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 2: You know, when you've got Cooper Cup to throw to, 360 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 2: that's pretty good. That's pretty good, pretty good place to start. 361 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 2: They got to upgrade that offensive line, obviously, but to 362 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: have Cooper Cup one of the top wide receivers. That's 363 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: not a horrible spot if you do get on the field. 364 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 2: Will Levis, he went obviously to the Tennessee Titans thirty 365 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: third overall. So same concept. If Will Lewis gets on 366 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: the field, and I think it's gonna happen this season, 367 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 2: Ryan Tannehill's not the quarterback in the future. He's got 368 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 2: one season left on his deal. It's not gonna be 369 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 2: Malik Willis. I mean goodness, last season, they're bringing in 370 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: Joshua Dobbs essentially off the street with a little bit 371 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: of time to learn the playbook, and they're like, all right, 372 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 2: that's good enough. Get out there against the Cowboys and 373 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: get out there against Jackville with our season on the line. 374 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 2: It's better than this Malik Willis guy over here. So 375 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 2: what the Titans said, So that's funny how Mike Rabel 376 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 2: the Titan said coach, He's like, yeah, Will Levis is 377 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: our third string quarterback. Kind of a weird way to 378 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 2: bring the guy in. He was just rotting there on 379 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: Night one of the draft, not getting selected while surrounded 380 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: by Hotti's galore. Like not the worst scenario. Hot, He's great, 381 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: but to still be on the board. Not not ideal, 382 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 2: not ideal. But then he finally gets drafted and the 383 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 2: Titans are like, yeah, he's QB three, So there's that. 384 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 2: There's something fond with threes over here. He was the 385 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 2: thirty third pick and he's third string so let's just 386 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: do it for continuity purposes over his just not a great, 387 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 2: great way to start off in the NFL. But here's 388 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: the deal. I don't know. I know it's so trendy 389 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 2: to talk trash about Will Levis and listen, he might 390 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: end up being a dud. I think he can be 391 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: pretty good. I do. I keep going back to what 392 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 2: you're surrounded by, and he was. He wasn't surrounded by 393 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: much in college. I want to get to this thought 394 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 2: coming up next. There's been so much made of being 395 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 2: pro ready. I hear that so often leading up to 396 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 2: the draft, also after the draft, but it's like, hey, 397 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 2: c J. Stroud is much more pro ready than fill 398 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 2: in the blank, most likely with Will Levis, you know, 399 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 2: like so much more pro ready. I just want to 400 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 2: dive into that. Right around the corner, we've got our 401 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 2: guy Kevin wired with us today, mister k dub is 402 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: that what your friends call you k dub. 403 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 6: What they do call you k dub? 404 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 2: I like, do you have that as your Twitter hand? 405 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 6: Yes?

I'm Brian 460 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 6: though here on Fox Sports Radio. 461 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: Man, it's crazy, just keeping up with hockey a little 462 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 2: bit here. I've got some love for puck, some love. 463 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 2: And I was just thinking as K dub was saying 464 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 2: that in his update where the maple leafs they move on, 465 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 2: It's the first time I think in what nineteen years 466 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: that they want a playoff series and exciting stuff. And 467 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: I was just thinking about the if you want to 468 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 2: go positively, the entertainment value you get. I mean, think 469 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 2: about this. Put yourself in the shoes of any of 470 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 2: these hockey fans. I mean you might already be in 471 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 2: those shoes while you're listening to this and your season 472 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 2: being on the line. It goes into overtime like literally, 473 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 2: you score, you're moving on, you give up a score, 474 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: you're freaking done. Like every little detail matters. And just 475 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 2: as a fan, it's highly entertaining and really stressful, like 476 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: really really stressful. And I mean, I'm just thinking about that. 477 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 2: If you compare it to other sports. You know, I 478 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 2: gamble from time to time, and uh, I'll do these 479 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 2: bets in the NBA. I would encourage you not to 480 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: do them like often because it's very hard to predict. 481 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 2: But it's the closest thing I could get to like 482 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: playoff hockey is if you take like first halves, if 483 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: you go over under the total right there, there are 484 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: a lot of times it will literally come down to 485 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: one bucket. If you got the over there, you gotta score. 486 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: You got the under, you got to get a defensive 487 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 2: stop over here. You know, it's like every I had 488 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: full disclosure. I had a little as my guy Bill 489 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: Krackenberger would say, Crack, who is a professional gambler, and 490 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 2: he said, he said, I have a little peanut bet 491 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 2: on this. That's what he calls a smaller bet, which 492 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: is probably still thousands of dollars. I think a peanut 493 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: bet for Crack is like five hundred bucks. That's what 494 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 2: he said. But I call it like a lint bet, 495 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 2: you know, like the lint in your pocket. I had 496 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 2: a lint bet on the first quarter over in the 497 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 2: Sun's Nuggets game, because they got off to a great start. 498 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 2: They're hitting threes, the tempo was pretty high, and so 499 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, I'll dip my big toe in 500 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 2: those waters. And it comes down to this where I 501 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: still need seven points and there's a minute to go, 502 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 2: and there was an offensive foul called Manny Williams challenged it. 503 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: We're in the first quarter, like fifty five seconds to 504 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 2: go in the first quarter. He challenges it. It's successful. 505 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: It turns out to be an end one I can't red. 506 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 2: It might have been Devin Booker. He scored. He goes 507 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: to the free throw line, gets the free throw. So 508 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, I only need four points. 509 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 2: We got there, we were home free. But the point 510 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: is this, it came down. It's a razor thin either 511 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 2: or either you're in the cash or you're in the red, 512 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 2: you know, and it's it's stressful. It's stressful. I think 513 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 2: life as a high fan, life as a gambler quite stressful. 514 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 3: You know. 515 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 2: I maybe something's got to go. Either the gambling needs 516 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 2: to be lessened or the metal needs to be lessened. 517 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 7: You know. 518 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 2: I need something that's more like easy jazz, you know, 519 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: something to kind of balance out the stress over here 520 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: is what I'm thinking. All right, eight seven, seven ninety 521 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 2: nine on Fox is where you can reach us. Some 522 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: thoughts coming up next on being pro ready. I hear 523 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 2: this all the time regarding these NFL draft picks, and 524 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 2: we want to get to some hoops as well. Top 525 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 2: of the hour, I'm thinking who has more at stake? 526 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: Is it Nicola Jokicic or is it Chris Paul. I 527 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 2: think that's a really interesting question. Also, I know that 528 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant has two titles to his name, but if 529 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: you throw him in the mix as well, where would 530 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 2: you rank those guys in terms of who has the 531 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 2: most on the line in that series, and I think 532 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: you can make a compelling argument for all three, believe 533 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 2: it or not. So I'll get to that at the 534 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 2: top of the hour. But this thought about being pro 535 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 2: ready around the corner. I'm Brian Noo live from thee 536 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 2: tiraq dot com studios right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Yeah, so it 558 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 2: was one of the uh, not a buzz word, but 559 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 2: a buzz phrase. I guess you would say buzzphrase. You 560 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: don't hear that a lot, but it's technically what it 561 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: was being pro ready. Heard a lot about being pro ready. Oh, 562 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 2: Bryce Young and CJ. Shroud more pro ready than the 563 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 2: other guys over there. And like, here's the thing, here's 564 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 2: how I think of it is. Uh, it's not just 565 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 2: what the players bring to the table. And that's what 566 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 2: all these draft analysts are saying in terms of what 567 00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 2: their skill set is, what their level of polish is, 568 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 2: if you will. And you could certainly argue that, hey, CJ. Stroud, 569 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 2: while surrounded by who's who of talent, he looked pretty 570 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 2: poised in the pocket. You know, he delivered accurate balls 571 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 2: typically you know that type of thing. But it's not 572 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 2: just about his footwork and about all of that. It's 573 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 2: also about who you're surrounded by. And so that's where 574 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 2: I would take quote unquote pro ready and look at 575 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 2: it from a different point of view, where if you 576 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 2: look at your supporting cast, I would look at Bryce 577 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 2: Young and say, hey, based on what he had around 578 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: him last season and still being as effective as he was. 579 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 2: That's important when he's going to the Carolina Panthers because 580 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 2: he's not surrounded by who's who. They had to trade 581 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: two first round picks, two second round picks, and a 582 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 2: wide receiver in Dj Moore who's really good to the 583 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 2: Bears to get Bryce Young. So so it was really 584 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 2: important that Bryce Young last year when he was not 585 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 2: surrounded by great wide receivers. Jamir Gibbs, his running back, 586 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 2: was actually the guy who had the most catches last 587 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 2: year for Alabama. He only had forty four catches. He 588 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 2: had the most catches for Alabama. It wasn't a wide 589 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 2: out and so he wasn't surrounded by Jamison Williams, who 590 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 2: was a rookie with the Lions last season was apparently 591 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 2: betting on college football and will miss the first six games. 592 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 2: That's another story for another day. But Bryce Young this 593 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: past season didn't have Jamison Williams or John Metchi which 594 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 2: he had two years ago, and Bryce Young was still effective. 595 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 2: So being pro ready what you're able to do in 596 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 2: college while not being surrounded by great talent. I mean 597 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,720 Speaker 2: Bryce Young gets a check mark, he gets a thumbs 598 00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 2: up for what he did last year. CJ. Stroud. I 599 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 2: think if you compare CJ. Stroud and Will Levis this 600 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 2: thought of being pro ready, if you extend the conversation 601 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 2: beyond just what each quarterback is doing, their footwork, their 602 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 2: ability to read backside pressure, like all these things, all 603 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 2: these quarterback traits and their level of polished Get beyond 604 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 2: just the quarterbacks and look at the supporting cast. If 605 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,479 Speaker 2: you want to talk about being pro ready in terms 606 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 2: of not having a great supporting cast, which is what 607 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: almost all of these top draft picks will deal with. 608 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 2: If you're gonna be a top five quarterback, you're going 609 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 2: to a team that has a lot of holes on 610 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 2: the roster. They record wise, were some of the worst 611 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 2: teams the past season. Unless the team pule vaulted in 612 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 2: to the top five, they had an awful record. Even 613 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 2: Carolina they jumped up from nine to one. They didn't 614 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 2: jump up from like twenty eight to one. They were 615 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 2: a playoff team or something. They have a lot of 616 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: holes on their roster. Some talent gonna be wrong, but 617 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 2: they've got holes so if you're in college and you're 618 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 2: not surrounded by great talent, well, that's actually gonna resemble 619 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 2: what your rookie season is gonna look like. Most likely. 620 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 2: When you go to a team that's at the top 621 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 2: of the draft. Three quarterbacks went in the top four picks, 622 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 2: you think the Colts are just swimming in talent for 623 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson. No, they went. They went oh one to 624 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 2: one against the Texans last year, They tied with them 625 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year, and they lost to 626 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 2: them in the final game of the season. They don't 627 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 2: have a great roster. There are a lot of holes, 628 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 2: a lot of holes. You think that the Houston Texans 629 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 2: with the second worst record last year, that's a like 630 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 2: a stable roster. No, not at all. So in terms 631 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 2: of what these quarterbacks dealt with last season and in 632 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 2: college in totality, if you will CJ. Stroud versus Will 633 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 2: Levis in terms of being pro ready, Will Levis not 634 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 2: being surrounded by great talent is way more pro ready 635 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 2: from that standpoint. From that standpoint alone, okay, being used 636 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 2: to not having a great supporting cast, like he didn't 637 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 2: have one offensive teammate that was first or second team 638 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 2: all sec. He didn't have one guy last year. Okay, 639 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 2: he had his wide receiver jan Dale Robinson go to 640 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 2: the Giants in the second round last year, so they 641 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 2: had a little bit of talent around him two seasons ago. 642 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 2: And shockingly was way better two seasons ago, you know 643 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,439 Speaker 2: what I mean? But last year, not not as good, 644 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 2: took a major step back, he was banged up, didn't 645 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 2: have a great supporting cast. It matters. I mean, I 646 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 2: might not want to hear it, but it does matter. Meanwhile, CJ. Stroud, 647 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 2: who in two years was surrounded by at worst, at 648 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 2: minimum four first round wide receivers at minimum, and then 649 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 2: all sprinkling a sixth overall pick with his left tackle 650 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 2: and then his right tackle goes in the fourth round, 651 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 2: and oh, this dude is gonna go there, And that's 652 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 2: this guy's gonna get drafted next year. It's a who's 653 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 2: who supporting cast. Like from a supporting cast standpoint, CJ. 654 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 2: Shroud is not pro ready. He didn't have to deal 655 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 2: with that at all at Ohio State. Now you could 656 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 2: push back and say, okay, fine, Brian, but that doesn't 657 00:39:54,080 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: mean he's automatically incapable of playing well with a week 658 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 2: supporting cast. That's true, You're right about that. I just 659 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 2: don't think the odds are in his favor if you, 660 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:12,240 Speaker 2: I mean, just do the math. If you have half 661 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 2: the talent in the NFL around you and twice the 662 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:23,280 Speaker 2: talent in college surrounding you, how would you think that CJ. 663 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 2: Stroud wouldn't skip a beat? You know what I mean? Like, 664 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 2: it just doesn't add up to me. I think the 665 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 2: odds are way more likely that he's gonna struggle with 666 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 2: the supporting cast where he's looking at Nico Collins and 667 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 2: Noah Brown like, oh my gosh, like cold, I just 668 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 2: have my college wideouts, Please can I have those guys? 669 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 2: These guys are way better. These are like my scout 670 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 2: team guys over here. So I just think that whole 671 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 2: pro ready quote unquote conversation. Man, It's not just what 672 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 2: the quarterbacks bring to the table, it's also what the 673 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 2: rosters bring to the table. What's the supporting cast? Like 674 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,439 Speaker 2: can that help the players out or does that hurt 675 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 2: them a little bit more good example would be Josh 676 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 2: Allen with the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen did not play 677 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,280 Speaker 2: well his first two years. He worked on his footwork, 678 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 2: he worked on his game. And they also got this 679 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 2: guy named Stefan Diggs in his third year and that 680 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 2: had a big reason, a big effect on him taking 681 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,959 Speaker 2: a step forward. All right, coming up next, who has 682 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 2: more on the line? Oh, what's going on? Everybody?

It was 703 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 2: the only NBA game on Saturday. It was a Denver 704 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,760 Speaker 2: smacking around Phoenix. The Sons in their lack of depth. 705 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 2: This man the Suns here. So they lose Game one 706 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,959 Speaker 2: one twenty five to one oh seven, and you've got 707 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 2: Devin Booker, Kevin Durant playing major minutes. They gotta go 708 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 2: for about forty minutes over there because they just don't 709 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 2: have great depth, and they get smacked around like these 710 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 2: guys rested in garbage time for many minutes and kd 711 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 2: was right there at forty minutes. They're playing monster minutes. 712 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 2: I don't know about these Suns going forward. I gotta 713 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 2: be honest with you. Where you look against that That 714 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 2: first round series against the Clippers where they drop one 715 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 2: of the first two games at home was a game 716 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 2: one when Kawhi went for thirty eight. So and then 717 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 2: they beat the B team of the Clippers and still 718 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 2: struggled the Clippers have depth. They don't have their star 719 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 2: players healthy at the most important time. You know, that's 720 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 2: the thing they don't have. They didn't have Kawhi Leonard 721 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 2: for most of the series, they didn't have for Paul 722 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 2: George for any of the series. And the Suns still 723 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 2: had their struggles. In the closeout game, they look like 724 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 2: they're gonna win by a ton. The Suns outscored the 725 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 2: Clippers in the third quarter of Game five, fifty to 726 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:29,399 Speaker 2: twenty four. They scored fifty in a quarter, and you're like, ah, man, 727 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,359 Speaker 2: this is a laugh. For the next thing, you know, 728 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 2: it's a one possession game late. The Clippers fought all 729 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 2: the way back with their B team, and now the 730 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,399 Speaker 2: Suns start off the next series in the second round 731 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 2: against the Nuggets, and they get waxed, they get whooped. 732 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 2: So hey, look it's game one. It isn't over with. 733 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 2: But you start looking at the Suns like, even if 734 00:44:55,280 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 2: they're able to survive this series against the Nuggets, is 735 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 2: that looking great? It is amazing how you could have 736 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul DeAndre Ayton and legitimately 737 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,320 Speaker 2: say what I'm saying, you know, like You're not crazy 738 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 2: person out from left field? What is this person? Did 739 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 2: he just start watching basketball yesterday? They've got all that talent, 740 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 2: but they don't have depth and I don't even know 741 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 2: if they're gonna get to the conference finals here at 742 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 2: this rate. But it leads to an interesting question. Who's 743 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 2: got the most at steak? When you think about three 744 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 2: of the players involved in this series Nuggets sons? Is 745 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 2: it Chris Paul who has the most at steak? Is 746 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 2: it Jokic who has the most at steak? Would you 747 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 2: make an argument for another person another one? Would it 748 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 2: be Kevin Durant? Would it be Devin Booker? Would be 749 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 2: any of those guys. Let's get with this. Between KD, 750 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 2: CP three and Jokich, who has the most at stake? Now, 751 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 2: a lot of people would automatically eliminate Kevin Durant because 752 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 2: he has two rings. But here's the thing I would say, 753 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,280 Speaker 2: I want to put him at the top of the list. 754 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 2: But the argument I would make as far as Kevin 755 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 2: Durant having a lot on the table is when we're 756 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,760 Speaker 2: talking about legacy and rarefied air and all of those 757 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 2: things for KD. In the minds of a lot of 758 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 2: fans and a lot of like sharp basketball minds. For 759 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 2: him to really solidify his legacy, his body of work, 760 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 2: he needs a ring outside of Golden State. He joined 761 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 2: a seventy three win team who had already won a championship. Okay, 762 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 2: he joined the team that beat him the previous season 763 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 2: when Oklahoma City had a three to one series lead. 764 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 4: You know. 765 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 2: And so with Kevin Durant, he just signed a lifetime 766 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 2: contract with Nike. He's one of three dudes to do that, 767 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kevin Durant. So while Kad isn't 768 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 2: looking for his first ring like Jokic is, like CP 769 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 2: three is, we're talking about rarefied air for Kevin Durant. 770 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 2: He is an all time great. He's had that solid 771 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 2: of a career, But to really do something outside of 772 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,239 Speaker 2: Golden State would be mammoth for him. I understand the 773 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 2: argument of well, I get it, Brian, but if he 774 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:46,319 Speaker 2: doesn't do that having those two rings, as I don't 775 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 2: know how you would say it like a fallback, you know, 776 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 2: like your fallback option, your worst case scenario option. That's 777 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 2: probably the better way to say it. Worst case scenario 778 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,879 Speaker 2: for Kevin Durant, He's still a two time champion. Worst 779 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 2: case scenario for Jokic or Chris Paul, they never win 780 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 2: one ring. You know, that's the worst case scenario. So 781 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 2: that I get it. That's why I wouldn't put Kevin 782 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 2: Durant at the top of the list. But I'm just 783 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,839 Speaker 2: saying before you automatically eliminate the guy. If we're having 784 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 2: the conversation who has the most on the line, is 785 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 2: it Kevin Durant, is it Chris Paul, is it Jokic? 786 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,439 Speaker 2: I think you can actually make a decent argument for 787 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant because we're talking about different levels. You know, 788 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 2: Jokic is really trying to get to the Yannis level 789 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 2: where he's a former MVP and he's won a championship. 790 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 2: He would be at a Yanis like level. He wouldn't 791 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 2: be at a Bill Russell Kareem abdul Jabbar level. You know, 792 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,839 Speaker 2: he's trying to get to a Yanis like level. And 793 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,280 Speaker 2: that's important for Kevin Durant. What level is he trying 794 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:58,479 Speaker 2: to get to. He's trying to get to legitimately top 795 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 2: ten of all time, trying to climb up that ladder. 796 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,359 Speaker 2: So while they're at different stages. Kevin Durant still has 797 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 2: a lot on the line. There still is like a 798 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets stench roaming around, you know what I mean, 799 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:21,360 Speaker 2: kind of like, uh, it hasn't gone great outside of 800 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 2: Golden State, you know what I mean? Fair or not? 801 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 2: That's what a lot of people will say, and we'll think. 802 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 2: And if he goes to the Suns, who have really 803 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:36,839 Speaker 2: talented frontline dudes, you know, we're talking about stars, He's 804 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 2: surrounded by stars plural. I know, Chris Paul isn't what 805 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 2: he once was, but you're surrounded by Devin Booker, and 806 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 2: there are worse options than if defense is double KD 807 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 2: double Devin Booker and Chris Paul is forced to be 808 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,359 Speaker 2: a scorer, you know what I mean. Like it's not 809 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 2: like you're asking Russell Westbrook to hit open threes. Chris 810 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,839 Speaker 2: Paul is you know, he's what he once was, but 811 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 2: he's still a good player. At worst, he's still good, 812 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 2: you know. And so if Kevin Durant fizzles with a 813 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 2: Suns team that has frontline talent, that's not great for 814 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,920 Speaker 2: the old resume. So I put him as a solid 815 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 2: three in terms of who has the most on the 816 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 2: line in this series, it's a battle between Chris Paul 817 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 2: and Jokich who has the most on the line. Now, 818 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 2: I got a tweet here, my guy toe buckets. I 819 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 2: love that. That is an outstanding twitter name right there. 820 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 2: My guy toe Buckets just wrote in and said CP 821 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 2: three because he's running out of time in the league 822 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 2: for a ring. I think that's a solid argument Chris Paul, 823 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:50,279 Speaker 2: this might be one of his final two chances at 824 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 2: a ring, right Like, he's pushing forty, so you might 825 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 2: keep the band back. You might bring the band back 826 00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,799 Speaker 2: for one more go at it next season, but it's 827 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 2: that's probably it. We're looking at this season, maybe next 828 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 2: season for Chris Paul to get a championship. Jokic has 829 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 2: a lot more time to do it. But I also 830 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 2: think this when you're looking at Jokich two time MVP, 831 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 2: Chris Paul is not a two time MVP. He's not 832 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,319 Speaker 2: a one time MVP. He came close, and I just 833 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:30,280 Speaker 2: had a flashback. I had Kobe Bryant years ago winning 834 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 2: league MVP, and he was head to freaking head with 835 00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 2: Chris Paul that year. And if Chris Paul's team won, 836 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 2: I think like the final regular season game, they would 837 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 2: have ended up with a better record and they might 838 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,879 Speaker 2: have been a top seed. I can't remember exactly how 839 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 2: it worked out, but of course it's tied a bit 840 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 2: to team success and Chris Paul. I'm telling you it 841 00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 2: was razor thin and I had a decent from me 842 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 2: bet on Kobe, and it barely barely worked out. But 843 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,319 Speaker 2: the point is this, Chris Paul is not a two 844 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:14,320 Speaker 2: time MVP like jokicch Is Jokic is the defending back 845 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 2: to back league MVP, and so if Jokic doesn't get 846 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 2: it done, even though he's got a lot more time, 847 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 2: I think that he would be called out way more 848 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 2: than Chris Paul would be. Chris Paul would have to 849 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 2: be just playing awful basketball, like they're literally doubling KD 850 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 2: Devin Booker and Chris Paul just can't hit a shot 851 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 2: to save his life, Like that's what it would take 852 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 2: for him to get criticized more than Nicola Jokicic. I 853 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,879 Speaker 2: absolutely believe that Jokic is playing at a much higher level. 854 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,320 Speaker 2: He's much younger. More is expected. When more is expected 855 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 2: from you and you come up short, the criticism is 856 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 2: that much louder. You know they're coming at you throwing haymakers, 857 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,840 Speaker 2: like I thought you were the back to back MVP. 858 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 2: This is what I was saying. Why it was BS 859 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 2: And you know, I just think it would be more, 860 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 2: you know, visceral. So I think that's an interesting conversation. Right, 861 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 2: Chris Paul doesn't have many more chances to win a championship, 862 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 2: so you can make the argument he has more on 863 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 2: the line. You could also make the argument that Nicola Jokic, 864 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,840 Speaker 2: even though he's got a lot more time, more is 865 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,960 Speaker 2: expected from him being the back to back, two time MVP. 866 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:39,479 Speaker 2: You've got Kendrick Perkins, who's essentially saying, yeah, we're betting 867 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 2: the rules because he's a white guy, you know, like 868 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 2: being the back to back MVP as like, holy hell, 869 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 2: we really raise the stakes on that goodness. So that's 870 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 2: the type of stuff we're talking about here. Like if 871 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,760 Speaker 2: it doesn't work out, if it doesn't work out for Jokic, 872 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 2: I think in the short term he's blasted way more 873 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 2: than Chris Paul. But Chris Ball look at it the 874 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 2: bright side, What would it do for them? If Chris 875 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,359 Speaker 2: Paull wins a championship? Would it mean more for him 876 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 2: and his body of work. Then it would mean for Jokisch, 877 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 2: two time MVP just solidifies him as one of the 878 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:26,360 Speaker 2: true superstars in the NBA. When you have that on 879 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,959 Speaker 2: your resume, where it's not two time MVP, wear the rings, 880 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 2: no rings, no rings. Over here, it's like, yeah, yeah, 881 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 2: I got a ring. Oh okay, we can settle down now. 882 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,920 Speaker 2: It would mean a ton for him, It would mean 883 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,399 Speaker 2: a ton for both. I'll break the tie over here 884 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 2: and say I do think it is Chris Paul. I 885 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 2: think he has more on the line. One other thing 886 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 2: to consider, though, is think of your running mates. You know, 887 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 2: if you don't have a leading role or a secondary 888 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,359 Speaker 2: role in winning a championship, well you're not gonna get 889 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,359 Speaker 2: as much glory that way. You're not gonna get it 890 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 2: as many roses that way. At worst, Jokic is gonna 891 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 2: be the second leading contributor if the Nuggets win a championship. 892 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 2: At worst, Jamal Murray went crazy with thirty four points 893 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,359 Speaker 2: in Game one. At worst, he's the number two guy, 894 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 2: you know, But Chris Paul he could be the third guy. 895 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 2: And so they're not gonna get as many roses there. 896 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,479 Speaker 2: But when it is, hey, this is Chris Paul. He's 897 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 2: finally won a championship. It's sort of like Isaiah Thomas 898 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,760 Speaker 2: with the Detroit Pistons winning two rings. Like you still 899 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,319 Speaker 2: need a ring? This is the NBA you need rings. 900 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 2: I'll say it's Chris Paul with the most on the line. 901 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 2: Your thoughts.

That's the one thing I love 921 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,719 Speaker 2: about overnight radio is, uh, you know, you gotta get 922 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 2: to the substance. You gotta get to the meat and 923 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,920 Speaker 2: potatoes of stuff that's going on in sports and all that. 924 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 2: But then you could talk about like resurfacing your deck 925 00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 2: or if your girl's acting crazy, you know what I mean, 926 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 2: like you just let it hang out. 927 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 7: It's all it's it's overnight radio, Brian.

So here's the deal. So after the show today, 935 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 2: I'm driving to Indianapolis. 936 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, So. 937 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 2: I'm in South Bend right now, driving to Indianapolis. It's 938 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 2: about two and a half hours away. We're flying to Orlando. 939 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 2: My girl and I We're going to Orlando. We're gonna 940 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,479 Speaker 2: go see Mickey. You know what I'm saying, we're gonna 941 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 2: go Disney World. Yeah, that's right, we're gonna go see 942 00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 2: our pals over there. So the deal is, it's because 943 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 2: South Bend has like three people in the city, you 944 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,560 Speaker 2: know what I mean, small town, it's very small. They 945 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,280 Speaker 2: all go to Notre Dame, you know, but it still 946 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 2: counts in the city here. South Bend's very small. So 947 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 2: it costs basically a small fortune to fly anywhere you 948 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 2: gotta connect, and then it just costs a ton. So 949 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 2: it's just easier to drive to either Chicago or Indy 950 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,840 Speaker 2: and you're gonna save a ton of cash. 951 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,960 Speaker 4: Oh no, absolutely, I take advantage of that too. 952 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what we're doing. So tight window here, Patty. 953 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 2: Here's the scenario. Scenario one. It's two part. It's a 954 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 2: two part scenario.

But yeah, you go with 1213 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:16,280 Speaker 6: any catchphrases or No, not really any catchphrases. But I 1214 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,639 Speaker 6: had some Vin scullyisms, as I like to say, come 1215 01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 6: out being a Dodger fan growing up. I kind of 1216 01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,920 Speaker 6: took some of his terms and adapted it into my 1217 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 6: own style. 1218 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,360 Speaker 2: Did you like make fake sponsors up? 1219 01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:28,600 Speaker 8: Like? 1220 01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 6: What was sponsors? Did my sponsor? I didn't have to 1221 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 6: make it up? 1222 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 2: No, No, I like that. I didn't mean it as 1223 01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:36,760 Speaker 2: a shot where it was like, uh, what was it 1224 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,160 Speaker 2: that Vin used to do, was it? It was like Homer, 1225 01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 2: John Dodger, John Dodger, Dog Farmer John. Yeah, that's right. 1226 01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,160 Speaker 2: Would it be funny if you're just making up sponsors 1227 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 2: that weren't really sponsors just because you're so used to 1228 01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,040 Speaker 2: hearing Vin Scully? You know what I'm saying? 1229 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,000 Speaker 6: That type of creativity maybe, but yeah, they're like. 1230 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,000 Speaker 2: That's not a sponsor here. Okay, Dub, what are you 1231 01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 2: doing to us over? Yeah, it's crazy. How about Toronto? 1232 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 2: Like you just mentioned first series win in nineteen years. 1233 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:07,640 Speaker 2: Here's the thing, Like it just makes me think of 1234 01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:11,679 Speaker 2: this where I don't know how to say it exactly right, 1235 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:15,640 Speaker 2: where some of these fan bases that have been starved 1236 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 2: for success, It is really cool how they just freak 1237 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,479 Speaker 2: out when they get a taste of it. You know, 1238 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,920 Speaker 2: I do think part of it is cool where if 1239 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 2: you think of the Toronto Maple Leafs, their fans are 1240 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:32,919 Speaker 2: going nuts. It's the first series they've won in nineteen years. Meanwhile, 1241 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,559 Speaker 2: there are some other fan bases they're just used to success. 1242 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,840 Speaker 2: If the Boston Bruins win their first round series, you're 1243 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,360 Speaker 2: not gonna see the same celebration in Boston. You know 1244 01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,519 Speaker 2: what I mean, and so it does. It sort of 1245 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,240 Speaker 2: reminds me of Knicks fans right now. The Knicks have 1246 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:53,639 Speaker 2: been so starved for success that they will absolutely lose 1247 01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 2: their freaking minds for any type of success. And some 1248 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,600 Speaker 2: of that's really cool, some of that is good. But 1249 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 2: you go back to last year and it's a thin 1250 01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:08,280 Speaker 2: line between cool and whoa, you're blowing this way out 1251 01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 2: of proportion. Over here where they beat Trey Young and 1252 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,559 Speaker 2: the Hawks. This is what two seasons ago, they beat 1253 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 2: them in Game two to even the series, and you 1254 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:23,480 Speaker 2: would think they want a title. Their fans were going crazy, 1255 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 2: and it's the same thing this year. This was one 1256 01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:34,479 Speaker 2: of my favorite guys. Check this out. You got Nick's 1257 01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:38,479 Speaker 2: fever over there. That's beautiful. So I don't know how 1258 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 2: to say it exactly right where I don't know, it's 1259 01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 2: this small window. You gotta really find the exact middle 1260 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:54,040 Speaker 2: ground of having fun, going crazy but not too crazy 1261 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,800 Speaker 2: where it's like, whoa, this is a bit embarrassing. At 1262 01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:01,040 Speaker 2: the same time, remember last year is good. Exact the 1263 01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:08,200 Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves. They won their play in game and like 1264 01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:12,560 Speaker 2: Patrick Beverly jumped on the scorer's table, he took his 1265 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,800 Speaker 2: jersey off. He threw it in the crowd like there going. 1266 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,720 Speaker 2: There were tears shed, and I remember the TNT crew 1267 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,040 Speaker 2: was like, wow, that was like one shining moment right there, 1268 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,040 Speaker 2: good lord, acting like they won a title. So I 1269 01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,040 Speaker 2: don't know how to say it the right way. Where 1270 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,520 Speaker 2: it's partially cool that you would go that nuts celebrating 1271 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,880 Speaker 2: either making it into the playoffs like the Timberwolves did, 1272 01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:40,639 Speaker 2: or winning a game in the playoffs like the Knicks 1273 01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:44,840 Speaker 2: did two seasons ago, but part of it is just like, 1274 01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:49,200 Speaker 2: holy hell man, you guys, it'd be like being literally 1275 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:53,960 Speaker 2: starving for food and eating some stale ramen noodles that 1276 01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 2: were on the ground and making it out to be 1277 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,879 Speaker 2: the best meal of all time. I get it, you're hungry, 1278 01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:03,960 Speaker 2: I understand, but it's whoa, it's far from the best meal. 1279 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:04,439 Speaker 4: All right. 1280 01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 2: We got a lot to do over here coming up next. 1281 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:12,400 Speaker 2: It's the perfect recipe for an overreaction.

They 1301 01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 2: traded up to get the corner out of Georgia. Keeley Ringo. 1302 01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 2: Two seasons ago he had to pick six against Bryce 1303 01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:44,240 Speaker 2: Young in the National Championship Game. And oh that's not all. 1304 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:51,759 Speaker 2: The Eagles also trade for former Lions running back DeAndre Swift, 1305 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:56,800 Speaker 2: who also went to Georgia. So they ended they end 1306 01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:01,960 Speaker 2: up getting four Georgia Bulldogs, three in the draft, one 1307 01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:07,360 Speaker 2: via trade, and that is coupled with who they drafted 1308 01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:12,000 Speaker 2: last year. They drafted Jordan Davis, the defensive tackle, and 1309 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:18,280 Speaker 2: also Nakobe Dean, the linebacker. They got those guys last year. 1310 01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,240 Speaker 2: Jordan Davis was the first round pick, Nikobe Dean in 1311 01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:25,960 Speaker 2: the third round. And so listen half of it. I 1312 01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 2: really like I see the logic in it, and just 1313 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:32,559 Speaker 2: like anything draft wise, some dudes are gonna pan out, 1314 01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 2: some dudes won't. I like the continuity. I like the 1315 01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:40,160 Speaker 2: idea of getting a bunch of dudes who were very 1316 01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 2: successful in college who were all these guys were on 1317 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:49,160 Speaker 2: the national championship team two seasons ago. Obviously, the guys 1318 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,799 Speaker 2: that just got drafted this year were on the second 1319 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,920 Speaker 2: national championship team in twenty twenty two. So some of 1320 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 2: these guys back to back champions in college football. So 1321 01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,360 Speaker 2: I don't hate it at all. But here's the deal, 1322 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 2: and I've really just thought about this before the show. 1323 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 2: I started thinking, this really is the perfect recipe to 1324 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 2: oversell it and overreact a bit. What I mean by 1325 01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 2: that is this, if the Chicago Bears traded for DeAndre Swift, 1326 01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,880 Speaker 2: what do you think the reaction is. Are we sitting 1327 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,880 Speaker 2: here like, oh man, what aget? DeAndre Swift is electric? 1328 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,760 Speaker 2: That guy is a playmaker. We're not doing that. We're 1329 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:42,360 Speaker 2: not going to that extreme. But when the Eagles were 1330 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:47,080 Speaker 2: a whisker away from winning the super Bowl last season, well, 1331 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 2: the Eagles picking up DeAndre Swift? What a get? What 1332 01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,639 Speaker 2: a get? You know what I'm saying. So I think 1333 01:18:53,720 --> 01:19:00,679 Speaker 2: that the Eagles their success last year, it makes trades 1334 01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 2: some of these draft picks possibly appear to be better 1335 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 2: than they really are. And I think when you take 1336 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:17,120 Speaker 2: it a step further, when you're talking about Georgia players, right, 1337 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 2: the guys in this draft, they're back to back national 1338 01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 2: champions so you're reigning supreme in college football. Coupled with 1339 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:32,200 Speaker 2: you just got drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, who were 1340 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:36,560 Speaker 2: in the super Bowl last season, like that is a 1341 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:42,559 Speaker 2: double dose of Hey, maybe we're overreacting here now. Don't 1342 01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,599 Speaker 2: get me wrong. I think Jalen Carter is a flat 1343 01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:50,320 Speaker 2: out stud. I think getting him ninth overall could end 1344 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 2: up being a mammoth steel. He's got a ton of talent. 1345 01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:58,600 Speaker 2: So don't get me wrong when I say I'm not 1346 01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,559 Speaker 2: sitting here saying, Oh, this is this is fool's goal. 1347 01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,560 Speaker 2: None of these dudes are gonna pan out. I'm not 1348 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:07,679 Speaker 2: saying that. What I am saying is it's a perfect 1349 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:12,360 Speaker 2: setup for us to overreact as if everybody is gonna 1350 01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 2: pan out. You know, maybe Nakobe Dean, he's just okay 1351 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,120 Speaker 2: in the NFL. He hardly played last season. Maybe he's 1352 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:26,040 Speaker 2: just okay, right. Maybe uh, maybe Nolan Smith who just 1353 01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 2: went in the first round. Maybe he's all right, He's okay, 1354 01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,640 Speaker 2: but he's not a game changer, you know. So it 1355 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:39,360 Speaker 2: just it dawned on me before the show we might 1356 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:46,599 Speaker 2: be assuming too much here where successful players in college 1357 01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:52,960 Speaker 2: winning championships. I mean, one of the best defenses college 1358 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 2: football has ever seen two seasons ago. With the amount 1359 01:20:56,439 --> 01:21:01,439 Speaker 2: of talent that came from there. We're talking first round 1360 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:05,920 Speaker 2: defensive players over the last two seasons for Georgia. That's 1361 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:07,519 Speaker 2: insane talent. 1362 01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:08,560 Speaker 9: You know. 1363 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 2: Maybe they paying out, maybe they don't, But I don't 1364 01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:16,280 Speaker 2: think it makes sense to treat the Georgia players going 1365 01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:20,719 Speaker 2: to Philadelphia as if it's set in stone they're gonna 1366 01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,960 Speaker 2: be studs galore. I think it's still the same as 1367 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:28,240 Speaker 2: any draft pick going to almost any other team. That's 1368 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:31,200 Speaker 2: the way I say your comments more than welcome. Coming 1369 01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:35,760 Speaker 2: up next, the power of negativity. I'll explain that's on 1370 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:44,839 Speaker 2: the way. Oh what's going on everybody? Hope you enjoying 1371 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:49,759 Speaker 2: your Sunday morning. We are less than two hours away 1372 01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:53,439 Speaker 2: from me making a mad dash and driving two and 1373 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 2: a half hours to try to catch a flight to 1374 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,880 Speaker 2: go to Orlando to go to Disney World for the 1375 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,120 Speaker 2: first time ever. So I know, I know you're on 1376 01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,040 Speaker 2: the edge of your seat. I might life tweet it. 1377 01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:08,439 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that's sure that's gonna go. But we 1378 01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 2: got a lot to get to the power of negativity, 1379 01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:19,400 Speaker 2: the power of positivity as well. NFL Draft style. If 1380 01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:21,320 Speaker 2: you will, I want to dive into that with you. 1381 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,400 Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the ti rack dot com studios 1382 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:28,360 Speaker 2: tirack dot com.

Ti rack dot com the way tire buying 1385 01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:44,280 Speaker 2: should be so. Chris Ballard, Indianapolis Colts general manager, he 1386 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:48,280 Speaker 2: he had some stuff to get off his chest over here. 1387 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:53,400 Speaker 2: He is not happy how some of the NFL Draft picks. 1388 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,519 Speaker 2: How they were largely criticized for one reason or another, 1389 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:03,479 Speaker 2: whether it was see J. Stroud's S two score that 1390 01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:07,240 Speaker 2: was reportedly in the toilet, and then there were reports 1391 01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:09,920 Speaker 2: coming out of like, oh, no, it was not that low. 1392 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,800 Speaker 2: It wasn't an eighteen, So what does that mean? It 1393 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,320 Speaker 2: was a ninety five? Did he ace it? Like, maybe 1394 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,240 Speaker 2: it wasn't that low, but I would imagine it's probably 1395 01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 2: in the ballpark. But whatever. 1396 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:20,840 Speaker 3: C J. 1397 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 2: Stroud was criticized heavily. Will Levis, good Lord, was that 1398 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:30,639 Speaker 2: guy criticized far and wide for Oh, this guy Will 1399 01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 2: Levs Ryan Clark, who does a great job on ESPN. 1400 01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:38,080 Speaker 2: He went as far as to say he's undraftable. Now, 1401 01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:39,559 Speaker 2: to be fair, I think he was talking about at 1402 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 2: the top of the draft, but he did say, quote unquote, 1403 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:46,960 Speaker 2: I watched the tape. To me, he's undraftable. Like some 1404 01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:51,360 Speaker 2: of these guys got heavily criticized. So the Colt GM 1405 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:55,560 Speaker 2: Chris Ballard, he was not a fan of the negativity. 1406 01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 2: Here's what he had to say about it. 1407 01:23:57,840 --> 01:23:59,320 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie to you on I kind of 1408 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:01,440 Speaker 4: I get frustrated. 1409 01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:04,360 Speaker 10: Now I'm gonna go off on a sidebar here all 1410 01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:08,680 Speaker 10: the almost said a bad word, all the crap that 1411 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:14,519 Speaker 10: comes out about these kids, it's crap like it's I'm sorry, 1412 01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:18,799 Speaker 10: but it's like people that leaked these stories, these negative 1413 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:19,840 Speaker 10: stories on kids. 1414 01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 4: I just don't I don't agree with it. 1415 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,599 Speaker 10: It's these guys work their ass off to get where 1416 01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:28,599 Speaker 10: they need to be, and then all week you gotta 1417 01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:30,479 Speaker 10: read and stories and ask all and then they got 1418 01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,280 Speaker 10: to answer questions on you. So anyway, not on Anthony, 1419 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 10: it's on some other kids in the draft that are 1420 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,360 Speaker 10: good kids. And I thought I had to take a 1421 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 10: little bit of a beating that they shouldn't have had 1422 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:40,639 Speaker 10: to take. 1423 01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:46,320 Speaker 2: Okay, so I do like this, and Patty Sweekar, producer, 1424 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:52,080 Speaker 2: pointed this out. Chris Ballard initially caught himself. I almost 1425 01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:53,680 Speaker 2: said a bad word, and then he went on to 1426 01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 2: say bs like three times. He dropped ass in there 1427 01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:01,679 Speaker 2: like you know, that was good, Like he stopped himself 1428 01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,479 Speaker 2: and then they couldn't help himself. He's this passionate about it, 1429 01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 2: but listen, look, man, I get what he's saying. But 1430 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:16,160 Speaker 2: one this just comes with the territory. I know, it'd 1431 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,920 Speaker 2: be great if we just all sang Kumbai Yan, we 1432 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:22,160 Speaker 2: just looked at the bright side and it was all positive, 1433 01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:27,519 Speaker 2: and you know, go c. J. Stroud go, and go 1434 01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 2: Will Levis go. Okay, yeah, maybe in a perfect world 1435 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,760 Speaker 2: that'd be the case. But I think this. I think 1436 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 2: that sometimes legit criticisms just snowball into something else, and 1437 01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:49,559 Speaker 2: it just seems after a point that it's gotten unfair, 1438 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,640 Speaker 2: when a lot of times it isn't. I don't think 1439 01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:57,639 Speaker 2: it's unfair at all. If there's an S two score 1440 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:03,680 Speaker 2: that's leaked and it makes major news, like, I think 1441 01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:07,600 Speaker 2: that matters. There are fifteen teams in the NFL that 1442 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:11,480 Speaker 2: use these S two test scores. It's part of the evaluation. 1443 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,599 Speaker 2: It's especially depending on the position. If it's a quarterback. 1444 01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,800 Speaker 2: We're talking about the ability to process information quickly. That's 1445 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:25,600 Speaker 2: what the test is all about. It's just a cognition test, right, 1446 01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 2: It's a cognitive test, and you've just shown things on 1447 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,479 Speaker 2: the screen and you gotta react, you gotta react, you 1448 01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:35,719 Speaker 2: gotta react. And so some teams they use this. It matters. 1449 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:39,080 Speaker 2: It's a big deal. And so when the test scores 1450 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:42,840 Speaker 2: are leaked and it turns into just damage control, some 1451 01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 2: of that is nauseating to me. Oh no, no, no, 1452 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,479 Speaker 2: no CJ shroud these reports of him like screwing up 1453 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,320 Speaker 2: that test or whatever that test even means that that 1454 01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 2: was not the case at all. So it's like, okay, fine, 1455 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,160 Speaker 2: instead of an eighteen, when do you get at twenty four? 1456 01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:02,400 Speaker 2: It still sucks? What score was? You know what I mean? 1457 01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,400 Speaker 2: So for Chris Ballard to get that bent out of shape, 1458 01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:10,880 Speaker 2: it's not like he's talking about like a kid's grade 1459 01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:15,120 Speaker 2: school football team. I could understand that if the criticism 1460 01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,599 Speaker 2: reached a level where it's like this dude is eleven 1461 01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:22,000 Speaker 2: years old, what are we doing here? And some people 1462 01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,200 Speaker 2: think about that think the same thing should apply to 1463 01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:29,240 Speaker 2: college players that are about to get drafted in the NFL. 1464 01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:34,880 Speaker 2: I don't think so. If somebody talks about Will Levis 1465 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:40,599 Speaker 2: and his stats from last year, or Anthony Richardson had 1466 01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:46,360 Speaker 2: a terrible completion percentage or whatever, like some of those criticisms, 1467 01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:51,639 Speaker 2: some of that negativity is correct. It's like on point. 1468 01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:55,599 Speaker 2: So it can't just be kumbai ya all the time. 1469 01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 2: I'll tell you something else, and I'll be as fair 1470 01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 2: as I can about this. Lewis Riddick on ESPN. I 1471 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,400 Speaker 2: like the dude overall. He does a really solid job. 1472 01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:12,759 Speaker 2: He knows football, he knows these prospects. He makes tremendous points. 1473 01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:17,080 Speaker 2: But there is a time where I'm like, literally like 1474 01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:18,920 Speaker 2: I gotta do something else. I got to take a 1475 01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,000 Speaker 2: nap or do something. I gotta get away from the 1476 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:24,640 Speaker 2: draft just for a little bit, because Lewis Riddick is 1477 01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:30,040 Speaker 2: like John Gruden on steroids, meaning this John Gruden when 1478 01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:34,920 Speaker 2: he was the Monday night football color commentator. Gruden was 1479 01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:39,679 Speaker 2: so over the top positive about players that it became 1480 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:42,679 Speaker 2: a criticism of like here we go again with Gruden 1481 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,960 Speaker 2: and this guy, this guy is the sheriff here man. 1482 01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 2: And you know, like it's like, okay, Gruden, you love 1483 01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:50,839 Speaker 2: this guy, and you love that guy, you love everybody 1484 01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:56,880 Speaker 2: Like Lewis Riddick is Gruden times twenty. Like Lewis Riddick 1485 01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:01,120 Speaker 2: when he's doing this draft coverage overwhelming, it's this guy 1486 01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,759 Speaker 2: is a difference maker. This guy is an absolute stud. 1487 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,960 Speaker 2: This draft pick, what a draft pick by this team? 1488 01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,040 Speaker 2: Just repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. And the point is this, 1489 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:15,519 Speaker 2: I'm not against positivity, but I think if I'm being 1490 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,760 Speaker 2: as fair as I can on this, I think there 1491 01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:23,120 Speaker 2: is such a thing where if it's nothing but positivity 1492 01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:30,640 Speaker 2: with your evaluations or it's nothing but negativity with your evaluations, 1493 01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:36,000 Speaker 2: I think your words just lose effect. That's the best 1494 01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,920 Speaker 2: way I could put it. If Lewis Riddick is like, 1495 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,360 Speaker 2: what a draft pick? What a difference making? I'm telling 1496 01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:43,439 Speaker 2: you this guy in the sixth round, how's he still 1497 01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 2: in the sixth round? 1498 01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 1: Right? 1499 01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:48,240 Speaker 2: This guy's rod ain't gonna make the team, you know, 1500 01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:52,880 Speaker 2: and we're just waxing poetic. The words lose effect at 1501 01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,639 Speaker 2: some point. Now, if it's the opposite and it's like, oh, 1502 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 2: this guy he can't do this, he can't do that. No, 1503 01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:03,800 Speaker 2: he's not gonna last. If it's nothing but that, it's 1504 01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:06,160 Speaker 2: the same effect. You just sort of tune it out. 1505 01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:10,600 Speaker 2: You're like, it doesn't even seem objective anymore. And so 1506 01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,439 Speaker 2: that's the best I could do. With Chris Ballard is 1507 01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:17,639 Speaker 2: at least him going on his rant triggered another thought 1508 01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:22,040 Speaker 2: of mine, which is you kind of need to mix 1509 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,439 Speaker 2: up your pitches. You know, like it can't just be 1510 01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:30,160 Speaker 2: a fastball every single time, whether it's negative or positive critiques. 1511 01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:32,840 Speaker 2: You need a curve in there. You need to change up. 1512 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:37,640 Speaker 2: You need to change speeds, like change location, because you 1513 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,400 Speaker 2: just you're too predictable at that that point, and it 1514 01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:44,599 Speaker 2: doesn't even seem credible after a while. But for Chris 1515 01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:51,639 Speaker 2: Ballard to go nuts like that, it's just it's the NFL, man, 1516 01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:56,439 Speaker 2: even though it's not perfect, it's not even close to 1517 01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:59,000 Speaker 2: being as positive as he would like it to be. 1518 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:04,479 Speaker 2: It's it's just what comes with the territory. I thought 1519 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:08,800 Speaker 2: it was completely misplaced with like these kids and what 1520 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,960 Speaker 2: they have to go through, and it's like, this is 1521 01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,280 Speaker 2: life in the NFL. This is just a taste of 1522 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,400 Speaker 2: what all these guys are gonna be dealing with way 1523 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:22,479 Speaker 2: more so down the road, Like let's play this out. Okay. 1524 01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:25,720 Speaker 2: So CJ. Stroud had to answer some questions about a 1525 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:31,519 Speaker 2: reported S two score that was god awful. Okay, what 1526 01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,080 Speaker 2: do you think is gonna happen? If CJ. Stroud in 1527 01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:37,600 Speaker 2: his first start throws two interceptions and then is in 1528 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,799 Speaker 2: his sixth start he throws a pick six that swings 1529 01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,880 Speaker 2: the game, and in his eleventh start, well, man, his 1530 01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:46,600 Speaker 2: completion percentage was only fifty percent. Like, what do you 1531 01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:50,880 Speaker 2: think's gonna happen? He's gonna be positive. Then it's not 1532 01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:56,040 Speaker 2: like so to react that way. It's like, bro, this 1533 01:31:56,280 --> 01:32:01,040 Speaker 2: there's a tidal wave of negativity soon to come following 1534 01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:04,920 Speaker 2: once these guys are drafted, you know, like, unfortunately, that's 1535 01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:10,280 Speaker 2: just the way it is. The smallest things, the smallest details, 1536 01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:15,559 Speaker 2: become huge news when it comes to NFL quarterbacks, especially 1537 01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:20,080 Speaker 2: the guys that haven't panned out yet if they're top 1538 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:24,560 Speaker 2: draft picks. That's just it comes with the territory. So 1539 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,519 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, go on that type of rant 1540 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:34,679 Speaker 2: of these poor unfortunate kids, and we've got Will Levis. 1541 01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:37,960 Speaker 2: He didn't name names, but really it's Will Levis and 1542 01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:42,400 Speaker 2: he can't read backside pressure and look at the stats 1543 01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:46,040 Speaker 2: from last year and negative negative, negative, It is like, yeah, 1544 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,960 Speaker 2: that's what it is. Welcome to the NFL, you know, 1545 01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:54,839 Speaker 2: Like Aaron Rodgers another good example established four time MVP 1546 01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 2: goes to the Jets. What do you think's gonna happen 1547 01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:02,479 Speaker 2: in that media market with the trade they made and 1548 01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:06,679 Speaker 2: all the hope that it stirred up. If he's falling 1549 01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,120 Speaker 2: on his face early, you think they're just gonna be like, well, 1550 01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:16,559 Speaker 2: you know he's trying hard. No, they're going to crush him. 1551 01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:21,400 Speaker 2: That's life in the NFL. So this is just your 1552 01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 2: first taste of it. On the NFL level. I'm not 1553 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:29,439 Speaker 2: sitting here saying they've never been criticized before. It's not 1554 01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:33,759 Speaker 2: like Anthony Richardson or Will Levis never heard a critical 1555 01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:38,080 Speaker 2: word before they were drafted, you know what I mean. Like, 1556 01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 2: of course they've been dealing with that. It's just at 1557 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:45,599 Speaker 2: a higher level right now. But man, Chris Ballad, if 1558 01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 2: I'll put it this way, if he just wants positivity, 1559 01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:53,280 Speaker 2: just watch ESPN's coverage and watch Lewis Riddick. He will 1560 01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:58,120 Speaker 2: give you a mountain of positivity. If you need more 1561 01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:02,400 Speaker 2: in that in your diet, check out lou rid and 1562 01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:04,760 Speaker 2: he will get you there. Man, And he did a 1563 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:06,880 Speaker 2: very good job. But I'll just put it this way. 1564 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,840 Speaker 2: I think the compliment sandwich makes a lot of sense 1565 01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:15,520 Speaker 2: when it comes to NFL draft coverage. I thought Melchiper 1566 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,640 Speaker 2: Junior and Todd mcshad they did a good job of this, 1567 01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:22,360 Speaker 2: where if they're evaluating a prospect, you start with the 1568 01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:27,360 Speaker 2: positive stuff, you throw in the criticisms, the negative stuff 1569 01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,160 Speaker 2: in the middle, and then you close with the positive. 1570 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,759 Speaker 2: You almost don't even recognize that there was something negative 1571 01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 2: or critical in the middle. They would do that time 1572 01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,639 Speaker 2: and time and time again. They to all this guy. 1573 01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:42,280 Speaker 2: I mean, love the athleticism, I love what he brings 1574 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:46,560 Speaker 2: to the table competitive wise, but you know what, the 1575 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:50,599 Speaker 2: short arms are a concern. I are like this guy. 1576 01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:53,360 Speaker 2: I love what he did. He really showed up in 1577 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:57,479 Speaker 2: the Big Games. Clutch receiver, he's a body catcher. You know, 1578 01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:01,479 Speaker 2: he's got to work on that. Some durabil concerns. But man, 1579 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:04,040 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I'll say. If he's healthy, he 1580 01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:05,840 Speaker 2: is going to be a difference maker. You almost don't 1581 01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:09,439 Speaker 2: even You just kind of gloss over it, like, oh, 1582 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,759 Speaker 2: the compliment sandwich is really really good with draft coverage 1583 01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:17,759 Speaker 2: because I'm at least I'm learning a lot about these dudes. 1584 01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:20,200 Speaker 2: And so it's like, if you're telling me nothing but 1585 01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 2: positive things, I can't buy it. I just can't buy it. 1586 01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:27,840 Speaker 2: So I do think there is sounds crazy, there is 1587 01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 2: some power with negativity. You've got to give both sides. 1588 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:39,200 Speaker 2: It's not just going to be rosy all across the board. 1589 01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:44,439 Speaker 2: And so for Chris Ballard to react as if it's 1590 01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:47,040 Speaker 2: either got to be rosy across the board or not 1591 01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:51,760 Speaker 2: nearly as negative as it was, I just don't think 1592 01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:56,120 Speaker 2: that's realistic when it comes to the NFL and what 1593 01:35:56,320 --> 01:36:00,840 Speaker 2: these prospects and especially quarterbacks go through. Some of the 1594 01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:05,920 Speaker 2: best quarterbacks in the game get crushed. You know, think 1595 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:08,280 Speaker 2: about all the things said about Justin Herbert not winning 1596 01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:13,080 Speaker 2: a playoff game yet, or Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson's a 1597 01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:17,080 Speaker 2: former MV beat There are plenty of accurate critical things 1598 01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:20,559 Speaker 2: you can say about him getting banged up the last 1599 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:23,679 Speaker 2: two years at the worst possible time, missing eleven games 1600 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:27,000 Speaker 2: the playoff game included, right, not playing great in the 1601 01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:29,080 Speaker 2: playoffs when he is up right, like, those those are 1602 01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:31,519 Speaker 2: all realistic things. Are we just supposed to pretend like 1603 01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:35,040 Speaker 2: that's not there? That just doesn't make any sense to me. 1604 01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:41,360 Speaker 2: So listen, if people are just making stuff up, like hey, 1605 01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:44,760 Speaker 2: I heard that Will Levis a like committed a crime 1606 01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:47,599 Speaker 2: when he was sixteen, and it's just not true. And okay, fine, 1607 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 2: you got a leg to stand on right there. But 1608 01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:53,760 Speaker 2: if we're talking about Will Levis and he didn't have 1609 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 2: great stats last year, that's legit. It's gonna happen. And 1610 01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:00,760 Speaker 2: so to react as if it can't happen and you're 1611 01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:04,680 Speaker 2: disgusted that it does, it's just ridiculous to me. Your 1612 01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:07,519 Speaker 2: thoughts on that feel free to check in. You can 1613 01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:10,280 Speaker 2: reach me on Twitter at the No Show is where 1614 01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:13,200 Speaker 2: you can find me eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. 1615 01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:15,280 Speaker 2: If you want to check on in, we'll roll the 1616 01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,920 Speaker 2: red carpet out there.

Chris Ballard might not want to listen 1624 01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:40,040 Speaker 2: to this next segment, okay, because there's a guy he 1625 01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,600 Speaker 2: absolutely deserves to be criticized. There's no two ways about that. 1626 01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:46,519 Speaker 2: At the end of your first year, Discover credit cards 1627 01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:49,439 Speaker 2: automatically double all the cash back you've earned.

I'm Brian No here on Fox Sports Radio. 1632 01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:11,720 Speaker 2: We're coming to you a lot from the Tirack dot 1633 01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:16,439 Speaker 2: Com studios. Man, So this was not a great prediction. 1634 01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:19,360 Speaker 2: Over here. Not a great prediction. That would be uh, 1635 01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:24,559 Speaker 2: John Morant, that would be a Memphis Grizzlies point guard 1636 01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:28,760 Speaker 2: John Morant, as he said, uh. A few months ago, 1637 01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:34,360 Speaker 2: I'm fining the West. Talk to Malika Andrews VSPN. She 1638 01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:37,759 Speaker 2: was asking, Hey, who's your your toughest competition in the NBA, 1639 01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:41,559 Speaker 2: said Celtics. She said, no, one from the West. I'm 1640 01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:44,679 Speaker 2: fine in the West. Well, they lost their first round 1641 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:48,400 Speaker 2: series and they lost to the Lakers in Game six 1642 01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:55,639 Speaker 2: by forty points. They lost by forty and they got bounced. 1643 01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:56,639 Speaker 2: Here's the deal. 1644 01:38:58,880 --> 01:38:59,400 Speaker 8: I like. 1645 01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:01,120 Speaker 7: I do. 1646 01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:07,320 Speaker 2: I like when players have some sizzle to them. You know, 1647 01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:10,679 Speaker 2: we always hear about like playing the game the right 1648 01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:14,800 Speaker 2: way quote unquote, or in another sport baseball, maybe not 1649 01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:17,280 Speaker 2: flipping the bat and all of that. Like I don't 1650 01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:20,080 Speaker 2: have a problem with personality. I don't have a problem 1651 01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:25,479 Speaker 2: with calling your shot and putting it out there, being bold, 1652 01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:29,719 Speaker 2: Like we love Joe Namath's guarantee from years and years 1653 01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:35,440 Speaker 2: and years ago. Like some people loved Muhammad Ali being outspoken. 1654 01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 2: You know, but sometimes there's a player that's outspoken like 1655 01:39:39,720 --> 01:39:43,439 Speaker 2: John Morant, and oh we don't like that at the time. 1656 01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:44,680 Speaker 2: There are a lot of people who didn't like it. 1657 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:51,120 Speaker 2: Me personally, I like it for the entertainment value. But 1658 01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,840 Speaker 2: my whole thing is, hey, man, you better make good 1659 01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:58,639 Speaker 2: on it. If you call your shot Babe Ruth style, 1660 01:39:58,880 --> 01:40:00,840 Speaker 2: you point to the outfield like you're gonna hit a 1661 01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:05,840 Speaker 2: home run. You can't hit a bloop fly to the 1662 01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:08,040 Speaker 2: second baseman, you know what I mean, Like, you gotta 1663 01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:10,400 Speaker 2: make good on that. I don't have a problem with 1664 01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:14,600 Speaker 2: anybody putting it out there, but I'm not going to 1665 01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:19,719 Speaker 2: act as if you completely screwed up when you didn't 1666 01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:22,800 Speaker 2: make good on what you were saying. And the thing 1667 01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:26,000 Speaker 2: with the Memphis Grizzlies is I get that they were 1668 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 2: a banged up team. You'll hear this, Oh, Brian, to 1669 01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:30,560 Speaker 2: be fair, I mean you have John Moran had the 1670 01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:34,719 Speaker 2: hand injury, also had Brandon Clark was out and Steven 1671 01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:37,439 Speaker 2: Adams was out, And hey, I get all of that. 1672 01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:43,519 Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting them to win a championship, but when 1673 01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:48,880 Speaker 2: you lose by forty in a closeout game, when, by 1674 01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:52,839 Speaker 2: the way, they won the previous game against the Lakers, 1675 01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:57,840 Speaker 2: they won by seventeen points in Game five, so it's like, 1676 01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:03,200 Speaker 2: where was the hand injury there when he was dropping 1677 01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 2: thirty one points. Where was the big losses of Brandon 1678 01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:13,240 Speaker 2: Clark and Steven Adams. It didn't show up in game five. 1679 01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:16,599 Speaker 2: So now all of a sudden, it's a legitimate reason 1680 01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:19,880 Speaker 2: in game six why they got rolled by forty points. Like, 1681 01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:23,560 Speaker 2: it's not, it's not. You can't say I'm fine in 1682 01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:26,400 Speaker 2: the West, get bounced by forty points in the closeout 1683 01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:29,360 Speaker 2: game and John Morant shoot three for sixteen from the field. 1684 01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:33,360 Speaker 2: That's one of the worst predictions of all time. That's 1685 01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:37,479 Speaker 2: just what it is. The Grizzlies are a very, very 1686 01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:42,080 Speaker 2: chatty team, and they have made good on none of it. 1687 01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:48,320 Speaker 2: That's the reality. That's where they are. Whether it's Dylan Brooks, 1688 01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:51,920 Speaker 2: that's say it. I don't care I poke bears, Lebron's 1689 01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:55,880 Speaker 2: old that's fine. I love all of that. I am 1690 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:59,720 Speaker 2: here for all of that. I find it entertaining. It 1691 01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:02,479 Speaker 2: have to be buttoned up for me, just my preference. 1692 01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:06,160 Speaker 2: You might differ, that's fine, but it's just preference. I 1693 01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:11,439 Speaker 2: love the showmanship. I love a good heel. I love 1694 01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:15,760 Speaker 2: a little pro wrestling in my football, basketball, baseball, what 1695 01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:19,519 Speaker 2: have you. I think it's fun. I think it makes 1696 01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,720 Speaker 2: me watch a little closer. I wouldn't be against that 1697 01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:26,200 Speaker 2: at all. If you say things or do things that 1698 01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:30,920 Speaker 2: make the games more interesting, I'm not against that. But 1699 01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:35,320 Speaker 2: for Dylan Brooks to say Lebron's old, and then for 1700 01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:39,719 Speaker 2: Brooks to go on to be an absolute no show 1701 01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:43,839 Speaker 2: in the series. He was shooting like twenty one percent 1702 01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:47,160 Speaker 2: from three right around there for the series, I mean, 1703 01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:52,360 Speaker 2: just atrocious. You can't call Lebron old and then no 1704 01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:58,040 Speaker 2: show like that can't do it. And Dylan Bricks was 1705 01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:03,400 Speaker 2: actually trending on Twitter earlier on Saturday. But for Dylan 1706 01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:08,000 Speaker 2: Brooks to say what he said about Lebron, it does 1707 01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:11,639 Speaker 2: in a not an intentional way, but it does take 1708 01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,560 Speaker 2: some of the heat off of Jahn Morant, who is 1709 01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,560 Speaker 2: a star player, who said I'm finding the West and 1710 01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:20,280 Speaker 2: then went on to lose in the first round in 1711 01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:23,280 Speaker 2: a two seven matchup. Now, I know the Lakers are 1712 01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:27,080 Speaker 2: a much better team roster wise than they were at 1713 01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:29,639 Speaker 2: the beginning of the year. They started two to ten 1714 01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:34,599 Speaker 2: when the season began, and after the All Star break 1715 01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:37,160 Speaker 2: and the wheeling and dealing of Rob Polinka, that is 1716 01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:42,120 Speaker 2: a different team. But the Grizzlies got bounced in the 1717 01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 2: first round when John Morant said he was fine in 1718 01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:49,920 Speaker 2: the West, It's unacceptable. And think of this too, Think 1719 01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:55,280 Speaker 2: of the Aaron Fox who is doing work for the 1720 01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:59,479 Speaker 2: Kings in their series against the Warriors, Game seven, a 1721 01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:02,600 Speaker 2: little bit on Sunday. I don't know if I'll be 1722 01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,920 Speaker 2: watching it in Orlando. If I am, that means I 1723 01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:09,000 Speaker 2: made my flight. If I'm watching it in South Bend, 1724 01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:11,720 Speaker 2: I didn't make the flight. I don't know where I'm 1725 01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:14,559 Speaker 2: gonna be, but I'll be watching it. But the Aaron 1726 01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:17,360 Speaker 2: Fox has been sensational and if you can beare these 1727 01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:20,519 Speaker 2: two Yeah, Okay, John Morant had the hand injury. The 1728 01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:25,480 Speaker 2: Aaron Fox has a broken finger. That's right broken fingertip 1729 01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 2: on his shooting hand, his left index finger. He's still 1730 01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:35,599 Speaker 2: giving the Warriors that work. You have the Aaron Fox. 1731 01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:39,880 Speaker 2: He went for what thirty one points sixteen assists as 1732 01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:43,600 Speaker 2: that line was the last game. It's freaking insane. So 1733 01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:47,200 Speaker 2: spare me on the excuses of well, John Morant's hand, 1734 01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:50,599 Speaker 2: and I mean he had a couple of injuries around him. 1735 01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:55,479 Speaker 2: And you've got the Aaron Fox against the defending champion 1736 01:44:55,600 --> 01:45:00,679 Speaker 2: Warriors and in a closeout game on the row, they're 1737 01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:05,559 Speaker 2: facing elimination, and my favorite phrase in sports, they stave 1738 01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:09,160 Speaker 2: off elimination. I've never said stave off with anything other 1739 01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:15,320 Speaker 2: than elimination, you know, but anyway, they stave off elimination, 1740 01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:20,639 Speaker 2: and the Aaron Fox goes absolutely nuts, he goes berserk. 1741 01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:23,840 Speaker 2: He went for twenty six and eleven. Sorry I said 1742 01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:27,479 Speaker 2: thirty six, but twenty six and eleven in game six 1743 01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:31,800 Speaker 2: when they're facing elimination. They had lost three straight games. 1744 01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:35,880 Speaker 2: That was a nail's performance. And d Aaron Fox. He's 1745 01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:39,160 Speaker 2: the third player in NBA history with at least twenty 1746 01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:43,439 Speaker 2: points and five assists in each of his first six 1747 01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:47,519 Speaker 2: playoff games, the third guy ever in NBA history to 1748 01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:51,360 Speaker 2: do that at least twenty points five assists in six 1749 01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:54,920 Speaker 2: straight playoff games. Like that, that's special. So spare me 1750 01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,320 Speaker 2: on the jam. Well, it's hand and oh he didn't 1751 01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:02,240 Speaker 2: have Brandon Clark, Like, I don't care. I don't care. 1752 01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:06,120 Speaker 2: They won Game five. They're at least capable. John Moran 1753 01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:11,320 Speaker 2: scored forty five points after injuring his hand, so I 1754 01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:13,360 Speaker 2: don't want to hear. Oh he had a hand injury 1755 01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:17,080 Speaker 2: after he lost Game six by forty It's like, dude, 1756 01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:19,560 Speaker 2: just say it's not good enough and leave it at that. 1757 01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,920 Speaker 2: He called his shot and he didn't come close to 1758 01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:27,679 Speaker 2: making good on it. That's just what it is. And meanwhile, 1759 01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:32,680 Speaker 2: the Aaron Fox who's dealing with a broken finger, is 1760 01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:37,680 Speaker 2: still doing work against the defending champions. And we'll see 1761 01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:42,360 Speaker 2: if the Kings can move on. Like it is overwhelmingly 1762 01:46:42,560 --> 01:46:46,679 Speaker 2: advantaged the iarin Fox in the playoffs compared to Ja Moran. 1763 01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,240 Speaker 2: That's just the reality of it. But you can you 1764 01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,360 Speaker 2: can say, oh, it's a hand injury and like whatever, 1765 01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:57,479 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. It is Fox, regardless of 1766 01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:00,839 Speaker 2: a broken finger, still giving the war. Year is the business. 1767 01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:04,800 Speaker 2: And John Morant doing the Walk of Shame to the 1768 01:47:04,880 --> 01:47:10,240 Speaker 2: Ritz Carlton after losing last last night, well two nights ago. 1769 01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:13,040 Speaker 2: I'm all confused with my you know, is it Saturday? 1770 01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,800 Speaker 2: Is it Sunday? We're in this weird realm of it's 1771 01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:19,080 Speaker 2: it's both kind of it started Saturdays. Still do talking 1772 01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:23,840 Speaker 2: here on Sunday. But yeah, jab Auran doing the Walk 1773 01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:27,600 Speaker 2: of shame where you have to walk from Crypto to 1774 01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:32,760 Speaker 2: the Ritz Carlton and all the fans like that, Like 1775 01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:35,960 Speaker 2: it did not go well. It did not go well. 1776 01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:39,760 Speaker 2: But I'm not here for the excuses.

Go to you, Brian, 1826 01:50:22,040 --> 01:50:22,760 Speaker 6: Thanks k dub. 1827 01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:25,880 Speaker 2: I'm Brian though here on Fox Sports Radio, coming to 1828 01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:29,519 Speaker 2: you live from thee tiraq dot com studios. You know, 1829 01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:32,800 Speaker 2: real fast on the DeAndre Swift things. I find that 1830 01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:37,360 Speaker 2: really interesting and I still hold true where when DeAndre 1831 01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:40,960 Speaker 2: Swift gets traded to the Eagles, I think that there's 1832 01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:44,479 Speaker 2: a tendency to maybe over sell it a bit like 1833 01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:48,200 Speaker 2: the team's success has something to do with your reaction 1834 01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:51,880 Speaker 2: to a trade where I compared it a little bit earlier. 1835 01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:56,280 Speaker 2: If the Bears trade for DeAndre Swift, are we owing 1836 01:50:56,400 --> 01:51:01,000 Speaker 2: and eyeing as much. Are we saying, ooh, justin fields 1837 01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,920 Speaker 2: and oh wow with that? No, no, no, the Bears 1838 01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,080 Speaker 2: were three and fourteen. We're not going crazy. 1839 01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:06,519 Speaker 3: You know. 1840 01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:09,960 Speaker 2: It's like, okay, they picked them up. But with the 1841 01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:13,720 Speaker 2: Eagles defending NFC champs that were a whisker away from 1842 01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:17,120 Speaker 2: winning a Super Bowl. With them trading for DeAndre Swift, 1843 01:51:17,240 --> 01:51:19,840 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this guy he's electric, you know what 1844 01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:22,519 Speaker 2: I mean, Like sometimes we oversell it. Now, I think 1845 01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,920 Speaker 2: he can be really good with that offense, and I 1846 01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:31,000 Speaker 2: understand that fit matters, what you're surrounded by matters. And 1847 01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:33,880 Speaker 2: if you look at offensive line, Hey, listen, Philly has 1848 01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:37,840 Speaker 2: one of the best offensive lines. And I would say 1849 01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,960 Speaker 2: the Lions as far as run blocking goes and scheme 1850 01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:43,200 Speaker 2: and all that, they got a really good offensive line. 1851 01:51:43,320 --> 01:51:48,080 Speaker 2: Jamal Williams led the NFL with what seventeen touchdowns last season, 1852 01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:51,360 Speaker 2: So DeAndre Swift didn't get a whole lot of run 1853 01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:55,680 Speaker 2: last season with Philly. Like, as a gambler on these 1854 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:59,879 Speaker 2: prop bets, it would astound me sometimes from like DeAndre 1855 01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:04,320 Speaker 2: Swift's rushing yards are at it was obscenely low. He'd 1856 01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:06,200 Speaker 2: be like twenty one and a half and I'm like, 1857 01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:10,040 Speaker 2: oh my gosh. And sometimes whatever that was the total, 1858 01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:14,519 Speaker 2: it was low the Underwood hit, so he was not 1859 01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:17,400 Speaker 2: a focal point. So the point I'm making is, let's 1860 01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:20,240 Speaker 2: not make it sound like he's leaving the Lions who 1861 01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:24,720 Speaker 2: had no run blocking ability. That's not true. And he's 1862 01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:28,320 Speaker 2: joining the Eagles and they absolutely do have one of 1863 01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:31,519 Speaker 2: the best offensive lines. Now, now this guy is gonna 1864 01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:34,880 Speaker 2: go freaking ballistic. I'm like, don't get me wrong, it's 1865 01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:38,639 Speaker 2: a good pickup, but it's more of like, well, okay, 1866 01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:42,679 Speaker 2: I like it than a Grand Slam. This Skuy's limit 1867 01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:46,599 Speaker 2: gonna lead the league in rushing. Like I just think 1868 01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:50,360 Speaker 2: that the team success has a lot to do with 1869 01:52:50,560 --> 01:52:56,000 Speaker 2: the evaluation of the individual player, and sometimes you can 1870 01:52:56,080 --> 01:53:00,080 Speaker 2: get off base with how you evaluate the individual and 1871 01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:02,880 Speaker 2: you're just really looking at it from the lens of 1872 01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:06,760 Speaker 2: a super successful team like Philly. I mean, look, it's 1873 01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:10,559 Speaker 2: gonna open up some running lanes when you've got Jalen 1874 01:53:10,640 --> 01:53:13,800 Speaker 2: Hurds throwing the ball to aj Brown, DeVante Smith, Dallas 1875 01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:16,240 Speaker 2: Goddard and you got a good offensive line in front 1876 01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:18,840 Speaker 2: of DeAndre Swift. Yeah, I like it. I like it, 1877 01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:22,240 Speaker 2: but let's just not act like the Lions had zero 1878 01:53:22,479 --> 01:53:25,120 Speaker 2: running game last year, and now all of a sudden, 1879 01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:26,960 Speaker 2: it's gonna be lightning in a bottle. I think that 1880 01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:30,439 Speaker 2: goes too far. Also real fast, I was thinking about 1881 01:53:30,439 --> 01:53:33,760 Speaker 2: this too. This might sound crazy, but I was talking 1882 01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:36,519 Speaker 2: about John Morant calling a shot I'm fine in the 1883 01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:38,519 Speaker 2: West and then losing in the first round to the 1884 01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:42,479 Speaker 2: Lakers close out game, lost by forty. That's embarrassing. It's 1885 01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:44,680 Speaker 2: not just what John didn't do, it's also what the 1886 01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:48,559 Speaker 2: Lakers did. You gotta give the Lakers some flowers, because man, 1887 01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:52,080 Speaker 2: their season when they started two to ten, they looked 1888 01:53:52,280 --> 01:53:56,519 Speaker 2: absolutely dead before it even began. And for them to 1889 01:53:56,640 --> 01:54:01,080 Speaker 2: be in the second round, I mean, is it's surprising 1890 01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:03,479 Speaker 2: for a lot of people that this is the case. 1891 01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:07,000 Speaker 2: But when Anthony Davis is playing at a level he's 1892 01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:12,560 Speaker 2: capable of and defending the way that he is, that's 1893 01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,280 Speaker 2: a tough team. They have better outside shooting right now. 1894 01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:18,360 Speaker 2: I do think this going forward, And this is the 1895 01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:21,559 Speaker 2: part that might sound crazy to some people. I think 1896 01:54:21,640 --> 01:54:27,320 Speaker 2: for the Lakers specifically, I think the Warriors would be 1897 01:54:27,479 --> 01:54:30,880 Speaker 2: the better matchup for the Lakers than the Kings would be. 1898 01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:35,200 Speaker 2: I know that sounds nuts to some people. But we're 1899 01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:40,000 Speaker 2: talking about the defending champion Warriors and all their credentials 1900 01:54:40,080 --> 01:54:43,200 Speaker 2: and all their championships, and yeah, yeah, I actually do. 1901 01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:46,720 Speaker 2: Even though Steph Curry has four rings, I think that 1902 01:54:47,240 --> 01:54:51,080 Speaker 2: the Aaron Fox, who doesn't even have a playoff series 1903 01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:55,560 Speaker 2: win to his belt to his name. Right now, that 1904 01:54:56,520 --> 01:54:59,720 Speaker 2: was the best stat Steph Curry. I think it was one. 1905 01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:02,640 Speaker 2: It was either one twenty eight or one thirty eight 1906 01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:07,000 Speaker 2: the number of playoff games he had before the first 1907 01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:12,360 Speaker 2: round series began against Sacramento and DeAndre uh Fox. I 1908 01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:16,160 Speaker 2: don't know if I said Swift, but DeAndre Fox he 1909 01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:19,520 Speaker 2: had de Aeron Fox. Goodness, I'm getting my Deandres and 1910 01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:24,600 Speaker 2: my Swifts. It's the Aaron Fox. He had zero playoff 1911 01:55:24,680 --> 01:55:27,840 Speaker 2: starts before the first round series against the Warriors began. 1912 01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:31,640 Speaker 2: But even with that being said, you know, the Warriors 1913 01:55:31,720 --> 01:55:34,240 Speaker 2: have the experience and all of that. You know what 1914 01:55:34,520 --> 01:55:38,600 Speaker 2: I think for the Lakers, A young Kings team that's 1915 01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:41,840 Speaker 2: just running around, they're like the energizer bunnies over there. 1916 01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:45,200 Speaker 2: I don't think that's as good of a matchup for 1917 01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:48,920 Speaker 2: the Lakers. You sometimes saw the heavy legs in the 1918 01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:52,840 Speaker 2: first round series, like Anthony Davis was trading good games 1919 01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:56,840 Speaker 2: with bad games. He'd have a good game and like, uh, 1920 01:55:56,960 --> 01:55:59,000 Speaker 2: you know, game one, and then he was struggling game two, 1921 01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:01,000 Speaker 2: and there's good in game three, the mad in game four, 1922 01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:05,640 Speaker 2: Lebron in game five was awful, awful, and that he 1923 01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:08,760 Speaker 2: only had one day arrest in between. So I think 1924 01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:13,320 Speaker 2: that I think the Lakers would actually be more challenged 1925 01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:17,879 Speaker 2: by the Kings than they would be by the Warriors. 1926 01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:21,000 Speaker 2: As not to say they wouldn't be challenged by the Warriors, 1927 01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:26,440 Speaker 2: but I think it's a worst matchup actually against the Kings. Right, 1928 01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:28,280 Speaker 2: let me know if I'm crazy, or if at least 1929 01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:31,200 Speaker 2: you think I'm crazy. I think that's right. But hit 1930 01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:32,840 Speaker 2: me up if you would like at the No Show 1931 01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:34,480 Speaker 2: is where you can find me on Twitter.

Okay, 1943 01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:26,960 Speaker 2: a couple of things. Listen, this is there's a little 1944 01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:30,840 Speaker 2: nuance to this. You know, it might not be great 1945 01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:34,400 Speaker 2: for if you're on the East coast four fifty in 1946 01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:38,080 Speaker 2: the morning or on the West coast one fifty in 1947 01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:39,960 Speaker 2: the morning. Like, who knows, you might be on a 1948 01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:42,880 Speaker 2: bender right now. I don't know, but I just want 1949 01:57:42,920 --> 01:57:46,600 Speaker 2: to throw something out at you. Okay, it's not who 1950 01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,600 Speaker 2: you're comparing, it's what you're comparing. Okay, just keep that 1951 01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:54,320 Speaker 2: in mind because sometimes comparisons freak people out and they 1952 01:57:54,360 --> 01:57:57,839 Speaker 2: only see what's different instead of what you're actually comparing. 1953 01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:01,720 Speaker 2: I could say I'm just like Michael, and you could say, no, 1954 01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:04,440 Speaker 2: you're not, that's ridiculous. What are you talking about? And 1955 01:58:04,520 --> 01:58:06,520 Speaker 2: I could say, well, we both wake up and start 1956 01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,720 Speaker 2: our day at eight o'clock in the morning. You know, 1957 01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:11,760 Speaker 2: it's not about who you're comparing, is about what you're comparing. 1958 01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:17,360 Speaker 2: So I'm looking at Lamar Jackson, who just got a 1959 01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:22,480 Speaker 2: contract extension Baltimore Ravens quarterback, and I'm looking at New 1960 01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:27,880 Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levice, who sunk in the draft 1961 01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:30,600 Speaker 2: out of the first round, not a first round pick. 1962 01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:35,600 Speaker 2: He goes thirty third overall in the second round. I 1963 01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:41,280 Speaker 2: see something that's comparable. Again, not everything. We're talking about 1964 01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:43,840 Speaker 2: a former league envy being. Lamar Jackson just got one 1965 01:58:43,920 --> 01:58:47,760 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five million dollars guaranteed in his new deal. 1966 01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:50,000 Speaker 2: We have Will Levis, who's a daisy fresh rookie in 1967 01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:53,120 Speaker 2: the NFL. Okay, there are differences, but look at what's 1968 01:58:53,200 --> 01:58:59,240 Speaker 2: similar here. What stands out to me is how playing 1969 01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:08,320 Speaker 2: hurt can absolutely hurt the individual going forward. So if 1970 01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:12,520 Speaker 2: you look at Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson got banged up 1971 01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:15,640 Speaker 2: last season against the Denver Broncos. Who's a knee injury. 1972 01:59:15,880 --> 01:59:17,760 Speaker 2: We initially thought it was gonna be one to three 1973 01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:22,040 Speaker 2: weeks and ended up being the entire season. He missed 1974 01:59:22,080 --> 01:59:25,680 Speaker 2: a playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals. There were a 1975 01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:29,960 Speaker 2: lot of people who believed that if Lamar had his contract, 1976 01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:35,120 Speaker 2: his big contract extension signed before last season, that there'd 1977 01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:36,600 Speaker 2: be a better chance that he would have been on 1978 01:59:36,760 --> 01:59:39,640 Speaker 2: the field against the Cincinnati Bengals. Will never know if 1979 01:59:39,680 --> 01:59:41,920 Speaker 2: that's the truth or not. There are a lot of 1980 01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:44,480 Speaker 2: people who believe it to be. So let's just say this. 1981 01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:49,640 Speaker 2: Let's say Lamar got out there, even without his new 1982 01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:52,640 Speaker 2: contract extension and said, look, i might not be one 1983 01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:56,440 Speaker 2: hundred percent, I might be limited, but I'm still dangerous. 1984 01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:59,560 Speaker 2: I can still make a difference. And he went out there, 1985 01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,640 Speaker 2: he got it, gutted it out, but he didn't look 1986 02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:07,720 Speaker 2: like himself. A couple of errant throws, not the same 1987 02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:12,560 Speaker 2: running ability. He was affected by the injury. He doesn't 1988 02:00:12,600 --> 02:00:15,320 Speaker 2: have as good of a chance to have one hundred 1989 02:00:15,320 --> 02:00:19,520 Speaker 2: and eighty five million dollars guaranteed in his latest contract extension. 1990 02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:25,240 Speaker 2: You understand like playing hurt and seeing a lesser version 1991 02:00:25,320 --> 02:00:32,200 Speaker 2: of Lamar would have contractually given the Ravens more leverage 1992 02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:37,320 Speaker 2: and Lamar less leverage. Now, if you look at will Levis, 1993 02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:42,080 Speaker 2: will Levis did play hurt throughout most of last season, 1994 02:00:42,920 --> 02:00:46,440 Speaker 2: had a toe injury, had a shoulder injury, still went 1995 02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:51,240 Speaker 2: out there. He could have said, you know what, we're 1996 02:00:51,360 --> 02:00:56,320 Speaker 2: undermanned as it is against Tennessee against Georgia, like I'm good, 1997 02:00:56,440 --> 02:00:57,920 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get out there. But he did get 1998 02:00:57,960 --> 02:01:00,480 Speaker 2: out there, and his stats weren't great, and it was 1999 02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:07,400 Speaker 2: partially tied to injury to playing hurt, and he got 2000 02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:09,200 Speaker 2: out there, not a great stat line. You heard this 2001 02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:12,040 Speaker 2: all the time. I love twenty twenty one, didn't love 2002 02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:15,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two for will Levis, and that tied into 2003 02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:19,680 Speaker 2: him falling out of the first round entirely. And so 2004 02:01:19,880 --> 02:01:21,920 Speaker 2: the point is, I love when players get out there, 2005 02:01:22,080 --> 02:01:23,920 Speaker 2: they play hurt, they give it a go. Maybe they're 2006 02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:27,000 Speaker 2: a lesser version, but they're out there. But sometimes it 2007 02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:30,080 Speaker 2: hurts their value going forward. I hate that that's the reality, 2008 02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:33,200 Speaker 2: but it is all right, come it up next. Failures 2009 02:01:33,360 --> 02:01:45,720 Speaker 2: do exist. I'd like to see a new stat in 2010 02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:51,080 Speaker 2: the NBA. I'll get to that here momentarily, and but 2011 02:01:51,200 --> 02:01:53,400 Speaker 2: first we have bigger fish to fry. 2012 02:01:54,640 --> 02:01:54,680 Speaker 7: With. 2013 02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:58,800 Speaker 2: My guy Gyanis, who I love but I disagree with. 2014 02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:01,600 Speaker 2: Over here, we're broadcast thing live from the tirack dot 2015 02:02:01,680 --> 02:02:04,640 Speaker 2: com studios. Ti rack dot com will help get you 2016 02:02:04,720 --> 02:02:08,680 Speaker 2: there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, 2017 02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:12,720 Speaker 2: and over ten thousand recommended installers. Ti rack dot com 2018 02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:18,000 Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be okay. So I'll circle 2019 02:02:18,080 --> 02:02:21,400 Speaker 2: back to the stat I want to see in the NBA. 2020 02:02:22,240 --> 02:02:24,280 Speaker 2: It's a little bit like the NFL. I think we 2021 02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:26,720 Speaker 2: need more stats, don't We were lacking in stats. We 2022 02:02:26,800 --> 02:02:30,320 Speaker 2: need more stats. I think you might agree with me, 2023 02:02:30,720 --> 02:02:34,440 Speaker 2: But I want to start with Yannis. Let me get 2024 02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:39,240 Speaker 2: the first thing out of the way here. I love Yannis. Okay, 2025 02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:43,800 Speaker 2: Yannis has been a great NBA player. He's been a 2026 02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:51,480 Speaker 2: great leader, He's been selfless at times. He's just especially 2027 02:02:51,600 --> 02:02:56,800 Speaker 2: for a smaller market, he is everything that you would want. Okay, 2028 02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:02,920 Speaker 2: So I love the guy, not personal whatsoever here, but 2029 02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:09,240 Speaker 2: I totally disagree with him. So this is after the Bucks. 2030 02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:13,320 Speaker 2: They got bounced in the first round. They lost in 2031 02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:15,480 Speaker 2: the first round to the Miami Heat. They lost in 2032 02:03:15,600 --> 02:03:20,280 Speaker 2: five games, and while Jannis missed it was what basically 2033 02:03:20,400 --> 02:03:24,280 Speaker 2: a game and a half of the series. He did 2034 02:03:24,360 --> 02:03:29,000 Speaker 2: miss thirteen free throws in the closeout game against the 2035 02:03:29,040 --> 02:03:32,920 Speaker 2: Miami Heat, and it caught a lot of attention. He 2036 02:03:33,120 --> 02:03:36,240 Speaker 2: was asked the question if he would consider this season 2037 02:03:36,440 --> 02:03:39,200 Speaker 2: to be a failure because they lost in the first round. 2038 02:03:39,280 --> 02:03:40,920 Speaker 2: This is what Giannis had to say. 2039 02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:44,360 Speaker 11: He's not a failure. It steps to success. Michael Jordan 2040 02:03:44,440 --> 02:03:47,600 Speaker 11: played fifteen years, won six championship. The other nine years 2041 02:03:47,680 --> 02:03:50,960 Speaker 11: was a failure. That's what you're telling me. I'm asking 2042 02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,760 Speaker 11: you a question, yes or no? Okay, exactly, So why 2043 02:03:53,760 --> 02:03:56,640 Speaker 11: you ask me that question? It's an o question. There's 2044 02:03:56,680 --> 02:04:00,000 Speaker 11: no failure in sports. You know, there's good days, bad days. 2045 02:04:00,200 --> 02:04:02,960 Speaker 11: Some days you are able to be successful so that 2046 02:04:03,080 --> 02:04:05,480 Speaker 11: you're not some days it's your turn, some days not 2047 02:04:05,600 --> 02:04:07,520 Speaker 11: your turn. And that's what sports about. 2048 02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:16,440 Speaker 2: Okay. So the question becomes, is failure a thing in sports? 2049 02:04:17,400 --> 02:04:22,200 Speaker 2: Does it exist? Or do you think about it like Giannis, 2050 02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:26,160 Speaker 2: where there's no such thing as failure if there's success, 2051 02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:30,360 Speaker 2: I don't know how failure doesn't exist. But he's taking 2052 02:04:30,440 --> 02:04:34,080 Speaker 2: more of the long term approach. It's, hey, we didn't 2053 02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:36,520 Speaker 2: win a championship this year. It wasn't our turn, but 2054 02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:40,440 Speaker 2: we're a better team going forward because of it. Maybe 2055 02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:44,800 Speaker 2: Grayson Allen knows to shoot the floater instead of trying 2056 02:04:44,840 --> 02:04:49,280 Speaker 2: to euro step to the bucket when no time is remaining. 2057 02:04:49,320 --> 02:04:52,040 Speaker 2: You know, maybe he learned that. I don't know, but listen, 2058 02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:57,600 Speaker 2: Giannis is wrong. I understand that this is a mindset thing. 2059 02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:02,160 Speaker 2: I get that. I'll I'll open my mind up where 2060 02:05:02,240 --> 02:05:07,840 Speaker 2: he's thinking beyond just this soul season. I do understand that, 2061 02:05:08,720 --> 02:05:12,440 Speaker 2: but I think even with the difference in philosophical approach, 2062 02:05:13,320 --> 02:05:18,680 Speaker 2: failure absolutely exists in sports. And for the Bucks, let's 2063 02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,920 Speaker 2: just keep it with them. Was it a failure for 2064 02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:29,320 Speaker 2: them this season? Absolutely, It's like a textbook version of failure. 2065 02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:31,680 Speaker 2: If you look it up in the dictionary, you might 2066 02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:35,120 Speaker 2: see the twenty twenty two to twenty three Bucks in there. 2067 02:05:35,160 --> 02:05:37,879 Speaker 2: You kidding me. You know who had the best odds 2068 02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:42,400 Speaker 2: to win a championship this season? It was the Bucks. 2069 02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:46,400 Speaker 2: The Bucks were at blue plus two seventy five. They're 2070 02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:49,560 Speaker 2: at about three to one to win a championship. Those 2071 02:05:49,640 --> 02:05:55,160 Speaker 2: were the shortest odds heading into the playoffs, and they 2072 02:05:55,320 --> 02:06:01,000 Speaker 2: lost to an eight seed in five games. And we're 2073 02:06:01,080 --> 02:06:03,640 Speaker 2: debating whether this is a failure or not. This is 2074 02:06:03,680 --> 02:06:10,440 Speaker 2: an epic failure. Epic So I can't believe this is 2075 02:06:10,480 --> 02:06:14,680 Speaker 2: even a debate about it. I understand what Giannis is saying, 2076 02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:17,760 Speaker 2: but look in some of the years that Jordan didn't 2077 02:06:17,800 --> 02:06:20,120 Speaker 2: win a championship, if we want to go down this road, 2078 02:06:20,520 --> 02:06:24,000 Speaker 2: he didn't lose in the first round in five right, Like, 2079 02:06:24,160 --> 02:06:28,040 Speaker 2: that's a major difference. Sometimes he's losing in the conference 2080 02:06:28,120 --> 02:06:31,400 Speaker 2: finals to the Pistons. That's a far cry from getting 2081 02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:35,280 Speaker 2: bounced in five by an eight seed. That's the first 2082 02:06:35,320 --> 02:06:38,520 Speaker 2: time it's happened since twenty twelve where an eight is 2083 02:06:38,600 --> 02:06:43,120 Speaker 2: beaten to one. Like it just it baffles my brain 2084 02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:48,800 Speaker 2: that we're having a discussion about that, and like significant 2085 02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:52,800 Speaker 2: bushback about being asked the question was was this a failure? Like, 2086 02:06:53,040 --> 02:06:57,960 Speaker 2: hell yeah, I was actually think about this too. There's 2087 02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:02,000 Speaker 2: an old Michael Jordan commercial in nineteen ninety seven. This 2088 02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:07,000 Speaker 2: is actually my favorite commercial of all time. Okay, now 2089 02:07:07,160 --> 02:07:12,520 Speaker 2: listen carefully to what Jordan says about failure. Check this out. 2090 02:07:16,080 --> 02:07:18,560 Speaker 8: I missed more than nine thousand shots in my career. 2091 02:07:21,560 --> 02:07:27,840 Speaker 8: I've lost almost three hundred games twenty six times. I've 2092 02:07:27,840 --> 02:07:31,600 Speaker 8: been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. 2093 02:07:33,640 --> 02:07:36,640 Speaker 8: Have failed over and over and over again in my life, 2094 02:07:39,040 --> 02:07:41,600 Speaker 8: and that is why I succeed. 2095 02:07:42,880 --> 02:07:45,400 Speaker 2: That is awesome, man, that there was a Nike ad 2096 02:07:45,480 --> 02:07:50,520 Speaker 2: in ninety seven, and look, I mean, it's just a 2097 02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:54,800 Speaker 2: different philosophy, it's a different outlook. But with Jordan's saying 2098 02:07:54,840 --> 02:07:56,320 Speaker 2: that in the commercial. 2099 02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:58,640 Speaker 8: Have failed over and over and over again in my. 2100 02:07:58,720 --> 02:08:02,560 Speaker 2: Life gets funny, like one aspect of this. There's a 2101 02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:05,800 Speaker 2: new Nike ad. There was a tweet, there was a 2102 02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:11,920 Speaker 2: picture of Yannis and it said always forward, just do it. 2103 02:08:13,120 --> 02:08:18,839 Speaker 2: And in the tweet it reads, there's no failure in sports. 2104 02:08:19,200 --> 02:08:22,720 Speaker 2: It steps to success. So this is the same ad 2105 02:08:22,800 --> 02:08:24,720 Speaker 2: company that had Jordan's saying this. 2106 02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:28,200 Speaker 8: I failed over and over and over again in my life. 2107 02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:32,880 Speaker 2: Okay, like I've failed over and that's the goat Michael 2108 02:08:33,040 --> 02:08:36,879 Speaker 2: Jordan talking about how many times he's failed in sports 2109 02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:39,760 Speaker 2: and life. And now the next ad campaign is Nike. 2110 02:08:40,160 --> 02:08:43,000 Speaker 2: It's like, there's no failure in sports. It's like, listen, 2111 02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:46,120 Speaker 2: they're just gonna do anything that will sell. All right, 2112 02:08:46,200 --> 02:08:49,040 Speaker 2: that's all it is. If failure worked with the Jordan 2113 02:08:49,200 --> 02:08:51,800 Speaker 2: d all right, grey cool, let's sell some shoes. If 2114 02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:54,360 Speaker 2: there's no failure in sports, If that works with Yannis, 2115 02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:58,080 Speaker 2: that's what they're gonna do. That's what it is. But look, man, 2116 02:08:58,160 --> 02:09:03,160 Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. Look, you can learn from failure, right, you 2117 02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:11,480 Speaker 2: can get stronger from failing. But there's nothing wrong with acknowledging, understanding, 2118 02:09:11,800 --> 02:09:18,040 Speaker 2: admitting that you failed. There's nothing wrong with that. I understand. 2119 02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:22,120 Speaker 2: Giannis has a different philosophy, and I do understand his philosophy. 2120 02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:24,800 Speaker 2: You just don't have a leg to stand on to 2121 02:09:24,920 --> 02:09:27,960 Speaker 2: make that argument that this year as a one seed, 2122 02:09:28,480 --> 02:09:30,880 Speaker 2: the best record, not only in the East, in the 2123 02:09:31,160 --> 02:09:35,320 Speaker 2: entire NBA and they lose in five to the Heat. 2124 02:09:37,400 --> 02:09:41,360 Speaker 2: I ask you this for the gamblers out there, if 2125 02:09:41,440 --> 02:09:44,400 Speaker 2: you went crazy on the Bucks to win the series, 2126 02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:49,680 Speaker 2: do you think that's not a failure. It's a failure 2127 02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:53,200 Speaker 2: with the pick. It's a failure by the Bucks. I 2128 02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:57,160 Speaker 2: think sometimes we just sugarcoat stuff way too much, way 2129 02:09:57,240 --> 02:09:59,680 Speaker 2: too much. Of course, it was a failure, There's no 2130 02:09:59,720 --> 02:10:02,920 Speaker 2: doubt about that. I'm Brian though here on Fox Sports Radio, 2131 02:10:03,360 --> 02:10:06,520 Speaker 2: come to you live from thee tiraq dot com studios. 2132 02:10:08,040 --> 02:10:11,680 Speaker 2: I want a new stat, want a new stat in basketball. 2133 02:10:13,160 --> 02:10:17,200 Speaker 2: I was talking to our producer here, Patty Sweeka and 2134 02:10:17,400 --> 02:10:22,160 Speaker 2: Patty diehard Lakers fan. We were waxing poetic off the 2135 02:10:22,280 --> 02:10:26,160 Speaker 2: air about Anthony Davis. You know, it was just I 2136 02:10:26,240 --> 02:10:28,400 Speaker 2: talked about the Lakers for a little bit and we 2137 02:10:28,560 --> 02:10:33,480 Speaker 2: just continued the conversation off the air, and uh, he 2138 02:10:33,680 --> 02:10:36,080 Speaker 2: had his dad has one of the all time nicknames 2139 02:10:36,120 --> 02:10:40,760 Speaker 2: for Anthony Davis, who was man tremendous at times against 2140 02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:44,200 Speaker 2: the Grizzlies. He alternated good games against the grizz but 2141 02:10:44,320 --> 02:10:48,360 Speaker 2: when he was on, he was unbelievable. And the Lakers 2142 02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:52,120 Speaker 2: defense as a whole greatly benefited from Ad being out 2143 02:10:52,160 --> 02:10:56,920 Speaker 2: there and just blocking shots, changing shots, affecting shots. And 2144 02:10:57,680 --> 02:11:02,240 Speaker 2: Patty told me his dad calls him Anthony day to Davis, which. 2145 02:11:03,600 --> 02:11:04,440 Speaker 4: It's a gold mine. 2146 02:11:04,440 --> 02:11:09,800 Speaker 2: I swear it is absolutely Unfortunately, it is totally fitting. 2147 02:11:09,920 --> 02:11:12,360 Speaker 2: He's battled a lot of injuries. I used to do 2148 02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:16,880 Speaker 2: shows with Ephraim Salaam, former NFL player, diehard Lakers fan. 2149 02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:20,840 Speaker 2: He used to call Anthony Davis Bambi Legs, which is 2150 02:11:20,920 --> 02:11:24,720 Speaker 2: also another all time nickname for him. But he's doing 2151 02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:25,920 Speaker 2: his thing, Patty. 2152 02:11:25,960 --> 02:11:26,480 Speaker 1: I love it. 2153 02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:27,800 Speaker 4: It's a great one. 2154 02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:33,760 Speaker 12: Bambi Legs Davis's it sounds it sounds like like you're 2155 02:11:33,800 --> 02:11:35,720 Speaker 12: part of Like it's like a little like like the 2156 02:11:35,960 --> 02:11:39,640 Speaker 12: nineteen twenties gangsters, Like, yeah, I got Jimmy two times 2157 02:11:39,680 --> 02:11:41,880 Speaker 12: over here, I got Bamby Legs Davis. 2158 02:11:42,760 --> 02:11:44,600 Speaker 2: That's right. It's a good call by you. It's like 2159 02:11:44,680 --> 02:11:46,520 Speaker 2: the scene in Goodfellas. 2160 02:11:46,800 --> 02:11:49,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna get whacked by Bamby Legs over here. 2161 02:11:49,280 --> 02:11:52,240 Speaker 2: Come on, that's right. You gotta go. I got I 2162 02:11:52,320 --> 02:11:54,800 Speaker 2: got sent for. I gotta go see Bambi legs over here. 2163 02:11:54,840 --> 02:11:55,600 Speaker 2: It's never a good thing. 2164 02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:57,280 Speaker 4: What am I half? Funny? 2165 02:11:57,680 --> 02:12:02,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, but yeah. Listen, he's cutting through a 2166 02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:06,280 Speaker 2: hip injury. Anthony Davis, even though he is Data Davis 2167 02:12:06,680 --> 02:12:09,360 Speaker 2: and he also is Bambi Legs. He's doing his thing. 2168 02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:13,920 Speaker 2: One series in way more good than bad for Anthony Davis. 2169 02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:16,840 Speaker 2: And think about how this started off. It was at 2170 02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:20,200 Speaker 2: the end of the first half in Game one against 2171 02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:23,960 Speaker 2: Memphis where he hurt his shoulder going for a rebound 2172 02:12:24,120 --> 02:12:28,440 Speaker 2: and said, I can't move my arm. And I thought 2173 02:12:28,480 --> 02:12:31,920 Speaker 2: it was Curtains for that series for AD and he's 2174 02:12:32,520 --> 02:12:35,520 Speaker 2: back and he made his presence known. But the stat 2175 02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:39,120 Speaker 2: I want to see in basketball, I was just saying 2176 02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:42,000 Speaker 2: off the air, I'm like, Anthony Davis has blocked a 2177 02:12:42,080 --> 02:12:44,040 Speaker 2: lot of shots, but there are a lot of shots 2178 02:12:44,640 --> 02:12:46,880 Speaker 2: that he affects that don't show up in the box 2179 02:12:46,960 --> 02:12:53,680 Speaker 2: score where he's altering shots. He's disrupting shots right like 2180 02:12:53,960 --> 02:12:57,920 Speaker 2: you pull up in the paint to shoot it and 2181 02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:00,360 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you realize, oh god, this 2182 02:13:00,560 --> 02:13:04,600 Speaker 2: is going to get blocked if I don't significantly change 2183 02:13:04,760 --> 02:13:08,480 Speaker 2: the arc of this shot to get it over Anthony Davis, 2184 02:13:09,120 --> 02:13:11,760 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you shoot a rain maker 2185 02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:14,840 Speaker 2: that's nowhere near going in like Anthony Davis. There's no 2186 02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:18,240 Speaker 2: stat for that. I'd like to see it. It's a 2187 02:13:18,280 --> 02:13:23,040 Speaker 2: little bit think about this. In the NFL, we always 2188 02:13:23,040 --> 02:13:27,360 Speaker 2: talk about pressures. Same thing in college football. They have 2189 02:13:27,440 --> 02:13:31,520 Speaker 2: that stat where it's quarterback pressures. It's not a sack, 2190 02:13:32,240 --> 02:13:37,600 Speaker 2: it's not a tackle. It's might not even be a hit, right, 2191 02:13:38,120 --> 02:13:42,520 Speaker 2: It's a pressure. You were close you affected the throw. 2192 02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:45,880 Speaker 2: I would like to see that. In basketball we could 2193 02:13:45,920 --> 02:13:49,520 Speaker 2: call it disrupted shots. I would love to see that. 2194 02:13:50,200 --> 02:13:52,920 Speaker 2: I don't think it will be a thing because it 2195 02:13:53,080 --> 02:13:57,920 Speaker 2: is subjective. But the quarterback pressure thing, I know you 2196 02:13:58,080 --> 02:14:01,200 Speaker 2: have to be close enough for that to be deemed 2197 02:14:01,240 --> 02:14:05,480 Speaker 2: a pressure. We can't do that in basketball. We can't 2198 02:14:05,880 --> 02:14:10,080 Speaker 2: literally look and say he disrupted that shot. He didn't 2199 02:14:10,120 --> 02:14:13,960 Speaker 2: block it, but he disrupted it to the point where 2200 02:14:14,760 --> 02:14:16,600 Speaker 2: he gets a check mark for that one. You know 2201 02:14:16,600 --> 02:14:19,880 Speaker 2: what I mean? Like, I think it should happen because 2202 02:14:20,320 --> 02:14:23,960 Speaker 2: it affects wins and losses. Some people listening to this 2203 02:14:24,080 --> 02:14:26,640 Speaker 2: might be like, here we go again, we need another stat. Well, 2204 02:14:27,360 --> 02:14:32,840 Speaker 2: we put a lot into quarterback pressures in football for 2205 02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:36,560 Speaker 2: obvious reasons. Even though you didn't get a sack or 2206 02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:39,840 Speaker 2: you know, knock the quarterback into next week, you got 2207 02:14:39,960 --> 02:14:42,880 Speaker 2: close enough for him to maybe get happy feet, for 2208 02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:47,400 Speaker 2: him to maybe rush his decision, rush his throw. It matters. 2209 02:14:48,520 --> 02:14:52,280 Speaker 2: How does it not matter? In basketball? If ad and 2210 02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:54,360 Speaker 2: you know it when you see it. That's the thing 2211 02:14:54,480 --> 02:14:57,640 Speaker 2: I guess. Disrupted shots? Okay, how do we how do 2212 02:14:57,760 --> 02:15:01,680 Speaker 2: we define it? It's like what the federal government says 2213 02:15:01,680 --> 02:15:04,040 Speaker 2: about pornography, right, you know it when you see it. 2214 02:15:04,840 --> 02:15:09,240 Speaker 2: The same thing with the disrupted shot new stat Do 2215 02:15:09,360 --> 02:15:11,560 Speaker 2: you know it when you see it? If there is 2216 02:15:11,640 --> 02:15:13,920 Speaker 2: a shot that is greatly disrupted? 2217 02:15:15,120 --> 02:15:15,240 Speaker 3: Uh? 2218 02:15:15,360 --> 02:15:17,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you should get a check mark for that. 2219 02:15:18,280 --> 02:15:21,400 Speaker 2: Probably a little bit too subjective, Probably a little bit 2220 02:15:21,600 --> 02:15:25,920 Speaker 2: too tough to figure out consistently. Because let's play this 2221 02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:29,000 Speaker 2: thing out. What if a player shoots a three pointer, 2222 02:15:29,680 --> 02:15:32,480 Speaker 2: you know, and the defender gets a hand in his face. 2223 02:15:33,480 --> 02:15:36,800 Speaker 2: Did it disrupt the shot? Maybe? Maybe not? Maybe the 2224 02:15:36,800 --> 02:15:41,240 Speaker 2: guy just missed it. Like you're always close enough in basketball? 2225 02:15:41,480 --> 02:15:45,400 Speaker 2: What mostly I shouldn't say always, but more times than not, 2226 02:15:46,240 --> 02:15:48,400 Speaker 2: you're guarding the guy in front of you. You're like 2227 02:15:48,480 --> 02:15:51,520 Speaker 2: a foot away from the guy as you're guarding him, 2228 02:15:52,120 --> 02:15:53,600 Speaker 2: and then if you get your hand up at the 2229 02:15:53,680 --> 02:15:57,120 Speaker 2: last second, does that count as a disrupted shot. Eh, 2230 02:15:57,720 --> 02:16:01,120 Speaker 2: it's a little bit different than rushing the quarterback beating 2231 02:16:01,200 --> 02:16:06,040 Speaker 2: a tackle. You're getting close to the QB. It is different. 2232 02:16:06,680 --> 02:16:12,720 Speaker 2: So hey, listen, maybe my disrupted shot stat will not 2233 02:16:12,920 --> 02:16:16,280 Speaker 2: get off the ground here, but I'll put it this way, 2234 02:16:16,400 --> 02:16:19,760 Speaker 2: even if there is no new stat for it. The 2235 02:16:19,840 --> 02:16:25,000 Speaker 2: point is this, Anthony Davis is doing things that don't 2236 02:16:25,040 --> 02:16:28,840 Speaker 2: show up in the box score. He's disrupting shots, he's 2237 02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:33,000 Speaker 2: changing shots, and it's making an impact for the Lakers, 2238 02:16:33,760 --> 02:16:35,560 Speaker 2: whether it shows up on the stat page or not. 2239 02:16:36,120 --> 02:16:38,120 Speaker 2: I just wish the guy would get credit for that. 2240 02:16:39,280 --> 02:16:41,600 Speaker 2: But if there isn't a new stat, at least the 2241 02:16:41,640 --> 02:16:44,360 Speaker 2: people that are like true hoops heads, they can understand it. 2242 02:16:44,840 --> 02:16:47,800 Speaker 2: They know it when they see that. All right, Coming 2243 02:16:47,879 --> 02:16:51,320 Speaker 2: up next, we got to get to the dumbest criticism 2244 02:16:51,600 --> 02:16:54,960 Speaker 2: of the NFL draft.

It would be Will Levis's bathroom selfies. This 2257 02:17:49,840 --> 02:17:55,360 Speaker 2: is an actual thing. I've heard real smart people say, uh, 2258 02:17:55,680 --> 02:17:59,640 Speaker 2: not a good look. Not I've heard smart people say, 2259 02:18:00,520 --> 02:18:06,040 Speaker 2: I've been talking to league like upper management people. They 2260 02:18:06,120 --> 02:18:06,680 Speaker 2: don't like it. 2261 02:18:07,280 --> 02:18:08,920 Speaker 8: But what. 2262 02:18:10,480 --> 02:18:14,720 Speaker 2: It's a bathroom selfie? I mean, really think about it 2263 02:18:14,840 --> 02:18:21,119 Speaker 2: like this. Okay, So Will Levis's shirtless, of course, he's 2264 02:18:21,280 --> 02:18:24,200 Speaker 2: his muscles have muscles, you know, and he's showing it off. 2265 02:18:24,800 --> 02:18:30,280 Speaker 2: That's what he's doing. And some like literal personnel evaluators 2266 02:18:30,360 --> 02:18:33,880 Speaker 2: are like, oh no, no, no, no, too full of himself, 2267 02:18:35,200 --> 02:18:39,000 Speaker 2: too much starved for attention, that sort of thing. Here 2268 02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:42,280 Speaker 2: are a couple of things. First off, consider, oh, I 2269 02:18:42,360 --> 02:18:49,759 Speaker 2: don't know, uh lebron James, Okay, you think lebron. 2270 02:18:50,959 --> 02:18:51,000 Speaker 7: Is? 2271 02:18:52,280 --> 02:18:57,879 Speaker 2: Does he ever do anything for attention to get some notoriety? 2272 02:18:57,920 --> 02:19:01,760 Speaker 2: How about a guy like uh, I don't know. How 2273 02:19:01,800 --> 02:19:05,720 Speaker 2: about Aaron Rodgers? Even better example, he plays the same 2274 02:19:05,760 --> 02:19:09,280 Speaker 2: position as Will Levis. Do you do anything to try 2275 02:19:09,320 --> 02:19:12,280 Speaker 2: to get attention get the limelight on him? Like, I 2276 02:19:12,320 --> 02:19:16,920 Speaker 2: don't know, maybe like not only going on but publicizing 2277 02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:19,840 Speaker 2: that he's going on a darkness retreat. Did you ever 2278 02:19:19,920 --> 02:19:23,439 Speaker 2: do anything to try to get some attention, some limelight? 2279 02:19:24,360 --> 02:19:24,480 Speaker 1: Oh? 2280 02:19:24,560 --> 02:19:29,120 Speaker 2: He does? So Why the hell would Will Levis taking 2281 02:19:29,200 --> 02:19:34,640 Speaker 2: a bathroom selfie matter at all? Why it's so stupid? 2282 02:19:35,320 --> 02:19:40,920 Speaker 2: I'm hoping, I really am. I'm really hoping Will Levis 2283 02:19:41,040 --> 02:19:43,760 Speaker 2: pans out and is good in the NFL. I know 2284 02:19:43,920 --> 02:19:48,120 Speaker 2: some people they're not even leaving the door cracked with 2285 02:19:48,280 --> 02:19:51,720 Speaker 2: that possibility that he actually pans out and plays well. 2286 02:19:52,240 --> 02:19:54,160 Speaker 2: But I'm here to tell you it is at least 2287 02:19:55,080 --> 02:19:58,760 Speaker 2: a possibility that is the case. I'm really hoping it 2288 02:19:58,879 --> 02:20:01,440 Speaker 2: is the case. So we could just circle back on 2289 02:20:01,600 --> 02:20:06,280 Speaker 2: these idiotic criticism. I sound like Chris Ballard, right, now 2290 02:20:06,360 --> 02:20:10,000 Speaker 2: the colt GM like these poor kids and they were 2291 02:20:10,200 --> 02:20:13,200 Speaker 2: tragged through the mud and it's obnoxious. It's bs what 2292 02:20:13,280 --> 02:20:15,680 Speaker 2: they have to deal with. I sound like Ballard right now, 2293 02:20:15,720 --> 02:20:22,600 Speaker 2: but this criticism was insanely stupid. Oh he's taking bathroom selfies. 2294 02:20:22,680 --> 02:20:27,000 Speaker 2: I'm not not a good look. Really, I'm hoping Will 2295 02:20:27,080 --> 02:20:31,000 Speaker 2: Levis pans out so we can circle back and revisit 2296 02:20:32,320 --> 02:20:36,800 Speaker 2: that being a thing. That's that's one of the reasons 2297 02:20:36,920 --> 02:20:41,160 Speaker 2: that's a critique. That's that's part of the the thought 2298 02:20:41,280 --> 02:20:47,240 Speaker 2: process as to why you don't draft him. Bathroom selfies. Really, 2299 02:20:47,560 --> 02:20:52,240 Speaker 2: that's what we're doing here. That is beyond stupid. It 2300 02:20:52,440 --> 02:20:58,040 Speaker 2: is it's it's obnoxious. And what would you say if 2301 02:20:58,120 --> 02:20:59,880 Speaker 2: he does pan out and you were one of the 2302 02:21:00,120 --> 02:21:03,120 Speaker 2: people putting it out there, like oh these bathroom selfies, 2303 02:21:03,840 --> 02:21:07,720 Speaker 2: Like the perspective completely changes. That's the whole point. Like, 2304 02:21:08,640 --> 02:21:11,600 Speaker 2: if Will Levis doesn't pan out in the NFL, it's 2305 02:21:11,840 --> 02:21:15,000 Speaker 2: not going to be because of bathroom selfies. I can 2306 02:21:15,120 --> 02:21:18,200 Speaker 2: promise you that if he does pan out, it's not 2307 02:21:18,360 --> 02:21:20,320 Speaker 2: gonna be because of bathroom selfie. 2308 02:21:20,720 --> 02:21:21,240 Speaker 6: Doesn't matter. 2309 02:21:22,200 --> 02:21:26,000 Speaker 2: It does not matter, And it does remind me a 2310 02:21:26,080 --> 02:21:29,680 Speaker 2: bit of sometimes these evaluations of quarterbacks get so stupid, 2311 02:21:31,000 --> 02:21:34,800 Speaker 2: like there's a thing about ginger quarterbacks. It's the real thought. 2312 02:21:35,120 --> 02:21:38,200 Speaker 2: There are some personnel evaluators that say, you know, how 2313 02:21:38,240 --> 02:21:42,280 Speaker 2: many successful redheads have we had at quarterback in the NFL. 2314 02:21:43,320 --> 02:21:47,040 Speaker 2: It's like, wait a minute, are you telling me that 2315 02:21:47,920 --> 02:21:51,120 Speaker 2: no one with red hair is capable of panning out? 2316 02:21:51,280 --> 02:21:56,080 Speaker 2: Like what what are we doing here? But some people 2317 02:21:56,320 --> 02:22:00,000 Speaker 2: really believe that, They really believe they'll just talk themselves 2318 02:22:00,200 --> 02:22:03,960 Speaker 2: into I mean, these redheads are ah, this bathroom selfie 2319 02:22:04,040 --> 02:22:08,600 Speaker 2: over here, I mean, what does it really mean? It means, well, 2320 02:22:08,879 --> 02:22:11,320 Speaker 2: he's full of himself. It means he's a me guy. 2321 02:22:11,400 --> 02:22:14,640 Speaker 2: I means you're just like often running making stuff up. 2322 02:22:16,360 --> 02:22:21,600 Speaker 2: And the other part is this, like, really, in sports, 2323 02:22:22,440 --> 02:22:29,720 Speaker 2: how many selfish me guys have flourished and had great careers? 2324 02:22:30,240 --> 02:22:33,120 Speaker 2: There have been many, So that's the other part of 2325 02:22:33,160 --> 02:22:38,080 Speaker 2: this equation. Even if Will Levis is full of himself, 2326 02:22:38,520 --> 02:22:42,360 Speaker 2: is a me guy and you the indication was the 2327 02:22:42,560 --> 02:22:48,760 Speaker 2: bathroom selfie shirtless style. Even if that is true, even 2328 02:22:49,120 --> 02:22:53,360 Speaker 2: that doesn't guarantee that he won't pan out. It is 2329 02:22:54,440 --> 02:22:59,920 Speaker 2: such a bad take. It is dreadfully bad. The criticism 2330 02:23:00,160 --> 02:23:04,080 Speaker 2: of Will Levis and his shirtless bathroom selfies. 2331 02:23:04,840 --> 02:23:05,440 Speaker 4: So dumb. 2332 02:23:06,200 --> 02:23:09,560 Speaker 2: Now, one that was a legitimate criticism. I would say 2333 02:23:09,600 --> 02:23:16,120 Speaker 2: more of a critique than a criticism. CJ. Stroud's supporting cast. Okay, 2334 02:23:16,160 --> 02:23:18,360 Speaker 2: so at Ohio State, CJ. Stroud is surrounded by a 2335 02:23:18,400 --> 02:23:20,800 Speaker 2: Who's who? I said, it's Noah's arc over there. He's 2336 02:23:20,840 --> 02:23:23,640 Speaker 2: got two of everything. That doesn't even do it justice. 2337 02:23:23,680 --> 02:23:26,520 Speaker 2: It's like in some cases he's got four of everything, 2338 02:23:26,680 --> 02:23:33,960 Speaker 2: like first round wide receivers. But but that was met with, well, 2339 02:23:34,280 --> 02:23:37,480 Speaker 2: it's not his fault. I mean, you can't hold that 2340 02:23:37,600 --> 02:23:44,000 Speaker 2: against the guy. Really, listen, it's not his fault. That 2341 02:23:44,200 --> 02:23:46,880 Speaker 2: is correct, it's not his fault. But I'm gonna take 2342 02:23:46,959 --> 02:23:51,560 Speaker 2: that into account. How can you not take that into account? 2343 02:23:52,720 --> 02:23:56,440 Speaker 2: To me, it's like, take a team. UCF is the 2344 02:23:56,480 --> 02:24:00,840 Speaker 2: best example. Let's go to Central Florida, you know, and 2345 02:24:00,920 --> 02:24:03,200 Speaker 2: you would hear this when they had their fake national 2346 02:24:03,360 --> 02:24:06,600 Speaker 2: championship because they beat the team who beat the team 2347 02:24:06,640 --> 02:24:08,600 Speaker 2: who beat the team who thought about beating the team 2348 02:24:08,640 --> 02:24:10,880 Speaker 2: but didn't quite beat the team. That's why they said 2349 02:24:10,879 --> 02:24:14,000 Speaker 2: they were national champions. Ridiculous. But let's stay on track here. 2350 02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:19,840 Speaker 2: When UCF was going undefeated the conversation would turn into 2351 02:24:19,879 --> 02:24:24,440 Speaker 2: it's not their fault that they're playing mostly hacked teams. 2352 02:24:25,200 --> 02:24:29,040 Speaker 2: It's like, okay, fine, let's just say it's not their fault. 2353 02:24:29,400 --> 02:24:32,640 Speaker 2: Are you not supposed to consider who they're playing, who 2354 02:24:32,680 --> 02:24:34,480 Speaker 2: they're beating. You're just supposed to leave that out of 2355 02:24:34,520 --> 02:24:39,040 Speaker 2: the equation. Really, that doesn't make any sense. You have 2356 02:24:39,160 --> 02:24:42,320 Speaker 2: to at least consider it. It might not be UCF's 2357 02:24:42,760 --> 02:24:51,960 Speaker 2: fault necessarily, but if they're beating UTEP and Arkansas Pine Bluff, 2358 02:24:53,160 --> 02:24:58,040 Speaker 2: that matters. They might not be number one as a result. Okay, 2359 02:24:58,160 --> 02:25:01,480 Speaker 2: So like, get out of this. It's not their fault 2360 02:25:02,920 --> 02:25:05,680 Speaker 2: that That way of thinking just doesn't make sense. Get 2361 02:25:05,720 --> 02:25:08,680 Speaker 2: out of this. It's not c. J. Stroud's fault. He 2362 02:25:08,879 --> 02:25:16,160 Speaker 2: was surrounded by what Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jackson Smith 2363 02:25:16,240 --> 02:25:20,080 Speaker 2: and Jigba Marvin Harrison Junior. It's not his fault. He's 2364 02:25:20,240 --> 02:25:23,840 Speaker 2: literally surrounded by four first round wide receivers. Okay, it's 2365 02:25:23,879 --> 02:25:25,760 Speaker 2: not his fault, but I got to take that into 2366 02:25:25,879 --> 02:25:30,600 Speaker 2: consideration when he's not gonna be surrounded by half of 2367 02:25:30,720 --> 02:25:36,720 Speaker 2: that in the NFL, at least initially ever, now, especially initially, 2368 02:25:37,240 --> 02:25:40,640 Speaker 2: but he's never gonna be surrounded by that type of talent. Never, 2369 02:25:42,560 --> 02:25:45,120 Speaker 2: how can you leave that out of the evaluation of 2370 02:25:45,480 --> 02:25:49,360 Speaker 2: what kind of bro he's gonna be like? So that 2371 02:25:51,160 --> 02:25:53,959 Speaker 2: that that that like, I don't know what you would 2372 02:25:54,000 --> 02:25:58,879 Speaker 2: say that reaction if you were to say, man, he's 2373 02:25:58,920 --> 02:26:02,920 Speaker 2: not gonna be surrounded by after talent, and the reaction is, well, 2374 02:26:02,959 --> 02:26:09,760 Speaker 2: it's not his fault, right, it isn't. But that doesn't 2375 02:26:09,840 --> 02:26:13,800 Speaker 2: mean you shouldn't consider it. Man, Like, I don't know, 2376 02:26:13,959 --> 02:26:17,800 Speaker 2: I think that is a legitimate criticism or critique to 2377 02:26:17,879 --> 02:26:22,320 Speaker 2: say this dude was surrounded by unbelievable talent, Like what 2378 02:26:22,440 --> 02:26:28,000 Speaker 2: are the realistic chances that he's gonna be as successful 2379 02:26:28,520 --> 02:26:33,360 Speaker 2: when he's throwing to Noah Brown and Nicocollins initially in Houston, 2380 02:26:33,720 --> 02:26:38,200 Speaker 2: Like come on, get real, Okay, we'll get to the 2381 02:26:38,320 --> 02:26:40,600 Speaker 2: positive stories right around the corner. But someone who is 2382 02:26:40,840 --> 02:26:44,080 Speaker 2: ultra positive that would be our main man, Kevin Wyatt, 2383 02:26:44,160 --> 02:26:46,440 Speaker 2: who's with us this morning? Kay dub? What's going on? 2384 02:26:46,560 --> 02:26:49,840 Speaker 6: But in UCS defense, they really just took a page 2385 02:26:49,840 --> 02:26:52,120 Speaker 6: out of Alabama's playbook, which if you go back and 2386 02:26:52,160 --> 02:26:54,560 Speaker 6: look at a bunch of the championships they supposedly won 2387 02:26:54,600 --> 02:26:56,680 Speaker 6: in like the nineteen fifties and sixties, if you actually 2388 02:26:56,680 --> 02:26:58,840 Speaker 6: looked deep into him, they just completely made them up. 2389 02:26:58,959 --> 02:27:02,200 Speaker 6: So UF I don't agree with what they did, but 2390 02:27:03,040 --> 02:27:05,600 Speaker 6: they're not the first team to make up a championship 2391 02:27:05,640 --> 02:27:07,760 Speaker 6: out of thin air and say they want it. So 2392 02:27:07,959 --> 02:27:09,240 Speaker 6: nothing new in college football. 2393 02:27:09,520 --> 02:27:11,920 Speaker 2: That's fair, but that was in an era where there 2394 02:27:12,120 --> 02:27:16,360 Speaker 2: wasn't a college Football Playoff or even the BCS. You know, 2395 02:27:16,800 --> 02:27:20,119 Speaker 2: when UCF made up their fake national championship, we had 2396 02:27:20,240 --> 02:27:24,600 Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff that they didn't even qualify for. 2397 02:27:24,879 --> 02:27:28,000 Speaker 2: So it's not the same as the nineteen forty Bama 2398 02:27:28,080 --> 02:27:31,440 Speaker 2: team or whatever it was just saying yeah, we're national champs. 2399 02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:33,200 Speaker 2: It's it's not close to the same thing. 2400 02:27:33,400 --> 02:27:38,560 Speaker 6: I mean, given the bias, or at least the tendency 2401 02:27:38,640 --> 02:27:41,119 Speaker 6: of the College Football Playoff to select the same teams 2402 02:27:41,200 --> 02:27:44,600 Speaker 6: over and over again and from the same conferences. Again, 2403 02:27:44,680 --> 02:27:46,640 Speaker 6: I'm always a fan of the little guy, the smaller 2404 02:27:46,720 --> 02:27:49,080 Speaker 6: conference is getting a chance, So that's the perspective I 2405 02:27:49,240 --> 02:27:52,160 Speaker 6: come from. But I think with the expansion though of 2406 02:27:52,280 --> 02:27:53,800 Speaker 6: this playoff, there's no more excuse. 2407 02:27:54,480 --> 02:27:54,680 Speaker 1: Matt. 2408 02:27:54,879 --> 02:27:58,199 Speaker 2: I'll say this, if UCF claims a fake national championship 2409 02:27:58,280 --> 02:28:00,240 Speaker 2: when they're not one of the twelve team used to 2410 02:28:00,320 --> 02:28:03,880 Speaker 2: qualify for the playoff. Now you're getting even more ridiculous 2411 02:28:03,920 --> 02:28:05,320 Speaker 2: than you did in twenty sixteen. 2412 02:28:05,400 --> 02:28:07,520 Speaker 6: They're laughing stock of the country if they tried that. 2413 02:28:08,360 --> 02:28:11,680 Speaker 6: I actually I just see where UCF was coming from 2414 02:28:11,800 --> 02:28:14,960 Speaker 6: when they were again making a championship. 2415 02:28:15,040 --> 02:28:18,880 Speaker 2: Don't prop them up, kub. They're jokes. They're a farce. 2416 02:28:19,040 --> 02:28:21,360 Speaker 2: It was obnoxious.

And you might not think if 2588 02:38:27,480 --> 02:38:30,439 Speaker 2: I were to say who are the more entertaining teams 2589 02:38:31,280 --> 02:38:34,440 Speaker 2: in the NFL? Not by what you see on the field, 2590 02:38:35,440 --> 02:38:39,560 Speaker 2: just in terms of storylines sort of like a soap 2591 02:38:39,600 --> 02:38:44,720 Speaker 2: opera aspect to them, or you would absolutely one of 2592 02:38:44,760 --> 02:38:47,000 Speaker 2: the teams would be the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, it's 2593 02:38:47,120 --> 02:38:51,240 Speaker 2: always something going on. Jerry Jones is making a comment here, 2594 02:38:51,760 --> 02:38:54,760 Speaker 2: there's a story about this. There are a lot of 2595 02:38:54,840 --> 02:38:59,200 Speaker 2: things like that. Remember Dak Prescott he had like a 2596 02:38:59,640 --> 02:39:02,640 Speaker 2: foot issue because he was breaking in a new pair 2597 02:39:02,840 --> 02:39:07,200 Speaker 2: of Jordan cleats. Remember that story like that? That wouldn't 2598 02:39:07,280 --> 02:39:11,720 Speaker 2: happen with the the Green Bay Packers. I mean like 2599 02:39:11,840 --> 02:39:15,680 Speaker 2: the it wouldn't happen with like the Jacksonville Jaguars or 2600 02:39:15,720 --> 02:39:18,360 Speaker 2: something like that. That's a Dallas Cowboys story. There's always 2601 02:39:18,360 --> 02:39:21,120 Speaker 2: something going on there. You might not think about this 2602 02:39:21,280 --> 02:39:25,720 Speaker 2: team initially, but in terms of generating like what what 2603 02:39:26,320 --> 02:39:31,040 Speaker 2: stories the Indianapolis Colts. Okay, here's a new one for you. 2604 02:39:31,959 --> 02:39:38,480 Speaker 2: So Jim Irsay, who's a team owner. He was talking 2605 02:39:38,600 --> 02:39:42,560 Speaker 2: about if the Colts had the number one overall pick, 2606 02:39:44,040 --> 02:39:49,960 Speaker 2: they would have strongly considered taking Anthony Richardson, the Florida quarterback, 2607 02:39:50,040 --> 02:39:57,160 Speaker 2: who coincidentally actually was their pick at number four overall. Now, 2608 02:39:57,240 --> 02:39:59,600 Speaker 2: now here's the thing here. I love Jim Irsay because 2609 02:39:59,680 --> 02:40:02,200 Speaker 2: this beautiful. There are a couple of things to consider here. 2610 02:40:02,480 --> 02:40:06,879 Speaker 2: So remember a couple of months ago when Jim Mersey 2611 02:40:07,080 --> 02:40:11,039 Speaker 2: said at a press conference, Man, the Alabama quarterback looks 2612 02:40:11,080 --> 02:40:16,160 Speaker 2: pretty good. He wasn't talking about Anthony Richardson, Okay, And 2613 02:40:16,240 --> 02:40:17,520 Speaker 2: you could sit here and be like, oh, that's a 2614 02:40:17,560 --> 02:40:20,240 Speaker 2: smoke screen. No, no, no, no, he was interested in 2615 02:40:20,360 --> 02:40:23,640 Speaker 2: Bryce Young. Okay, that's what it was. It's just they 2616 02:40:23,680 --> 02:40:26,039 Speaker 2: didn't have the number one overall pick. They weren't gonna 2617 02:40:26,080 --> 02:40:30,320 Speaker 2: move up to get him, so he was oohing and 2618 02:40:30,440 --> 02:40:34,200 Speaker 2: eyeing over Bryce Young, not Anthony Richardson. The Other thing 2619 02:40:34,320 --> 02:40:39,920 Speaker 2: that's even more beautiful here is that before the second 2620 02:40:40,040 --> 02:40:46,520 Speaker 2: round started, Jim Mersay twitted, He tweeted, He tweeted and tweeted. 2621 02:40:46,720 --> 02:40:50,680 Speaker 2: He tweeted, Hey Colts fans, I'm paraphrasing over here, but 2622 02:40:50,920 --> 02:40:55,240 Speaker 2: hey Colts fans, if you were on the clock, would 2623 02:40:55,320 --> 02:40:59,400 Speaker 2: you take Will Levis over here? You know, and and 2624 02:40:59,520 --> 02:41:04,280 Speaker 2: do the Montana Young thing for the franchise? Put it 2625 02:41:04,400 --> 02:41:07,520 Speaker 2: out there like they drafted Anthony Richardson number four overall, 2626 02:41:07,600 --> 02:41:10,039 Speaker 2: And he put it out there on Twitter, like, hey, 2627 02:41:10,520 --> 02:41:14,160 Speaker 2: what do you think about drafting Will Levis? Also huh thoughts? 2628 02:41:15,760 --> 02:41:19,160 Speaker 2: So like, just spare me on you would take Anthony 2629 02:41:19,240 --> 02:41:21,560 Speaker 2: Richardson with the number one overall pick too? I just 2630 02:41:21,840 --> 02:41:25,640 Speaker 2: just I don't buy it. But but entertaining, entertaining, nevertheless, 2631 02:41:25,879 --> 02:41:29,000 Speaker 2: that's always a good thing. Everybody. Enjoy your morning, good 2632 02:41:29,040 --> 02:41:30,080 Speaker 2: hanging with you. We'll see you
