Which is what And you know why the 80 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: Knicks fired TIBs today after their greatest season in twenty 81 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: five years. Think for a second, right outside, you know, 82 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: big NBA fans, we all watch Eastern Conference Finals. Yes, 83 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: the Knicks lost, it was really difficult. Their flaws were 84 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: all exposed. But just think about being around the Knicks 85 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: for the last couple of days with this right, the 86 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: Knicks lose and it is heartbreaking. And not only that 87 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: they are not over a Game one that is going 88 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: down in the annals of NBA history as the biggest 89 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: blown loss in the history of the game. I can't 90 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: overstate that enough. The Knicks lost Game one, blowing a 91 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: lead in the final minute that nobody in the history 92 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: of the game is blown. Right, we went back and 93 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: looked the record fourteen hundred and fourteen wins and no 94 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: losses and when the NBA was taken keeping track of 95 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: this right from the mid nineties, right fourteen fourteen to 96 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: zero with a nine point lead and fifty seconds left 97 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: to go on regulation, and you know what, you know 98 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: a team has never blown a lead like that even 99 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: before that, because teams didn't hit threes for the for 100 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: the early part of the nineties and the eighties, they 101 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: didn't take that many shots. Before that, there was no 102 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: three point shot. So I guarantee you nobody in the 103 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: one hundred some odd years since since Nasmith said, hey, 104 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: cut the holes out of the peach bask easy to 105 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: get the basketball back. So if that's no one has 106 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: blown a lead this decade. So yeah, this is an 107 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: all time worst loss in the NBA. This is a 108 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: loss that stays with the team and franchise forever. It's 109 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: Reggie Miller on steroids because this was Hey, at least 110 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: the Knicks won that series at Reggie Miller made the 111 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: choke sign. This was blowing Game one watching Halliburton's miracle 112 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: shot fall doing the choke sign. It is an all 113 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: time embarrassing Game one and series loss for the Knicks. 114 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: You're naive if you think a team can just sit 115 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: there and say, well, we'll get him next year. We 116 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: didn't have as good a roster. The Pacers were a 117 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: better team. No, some losses you can't come back from 118 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: because they're just that bad. 119 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: Not all losses are created equal. Some losses are worse 120 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 2: than others. 121 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: Some losses make the worst losses look like a kid 122 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: given out candy. This was one of those Game one 123 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: We've never seen it before, a team has never had 124 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: that happen. When something like that happens, you can't just 125 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: bring the guys back next year. You can't just say, okay, 126 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: roll it back, we'll make some There needs to be repercussions. 127 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: There needs to be fall up. 128 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: We told you after Game one if they lose this series, 129 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: the guys are gonna look at is gonna be TIBs 130 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: and Karl Anthony Towns? 131 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: And who are the guys? Tibbs and Karl Anthony Towns. 132 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: All the Karl Anthony Towns criticism the last few days, 133 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: and now Tibbs gets fired today. Sometimes a loss is 134 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: just so bad you can't bring TIBs back because he's 135 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: a memory and a reminder, an every day walking institution 136 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: of we blew that lead against the Pacers. 137 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: We're gonna blow it again. You're gonna see this in 138 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: the playoffs. 139 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: Every time a team is up nine with a minute 140 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: left to go, Reggie Miller is gonna say, remember the 141 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: Pacers next in twenty twenty five. 142 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 3: Reggie Miller's going. 143 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: To be ninety eight years old at like thirty years 144 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: from now, and it's gonna be saying, remember. 145 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 6: When the Pacers did it back in twenty five with 146 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 6: Hella Burton. 147 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: That's exactly how it's gonna go. You can't bring them back. 148 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: That's why I'm not surprised at all. The Tims got 149 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: fired because this loss and then the series loss was 150 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: just so bad you have to start anew You have 151 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: to start and say, Okay, we gotta move away from 152 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: this because this is just gonna hang over the franchise. 153 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna hang over the franchise enough already, 154 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: but bringing back the same cast of characters, it's like 155 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: a cloud, like the cloud that follows pig Pen, you know, 156 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: the in the Peanuts. Like that's what's gonna happen. And 157 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: that's why the Knicks had no choice, and I understand it. 158 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised with the fire and Tims because some 159 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: losses are just so bad you have to move on 160 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: and start new, and this is one of those losses. 161 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 4: I like that you said, and the peanuts kind of 162 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 4: like you were going, it's not said, not just peanuts, 163 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 4: the peanuts. 164 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,679 Speaker 3: Look, it's it's the thing we've. 165 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 4: Talked about for a month is that you had eighty 166 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: two games to try to what else was on the 167 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 4: roster instead of grinding out win in game fifty five, right, 168 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 4: fifty seven whatever. Middle of the season, Hey, you play 169 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 4: forty two. Well, at no point did you develop continuity. 170 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 4: And we saw it exacerbated when Brunson had to leave 171 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 4: a game for a short period. 172 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: With an injury. 173 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 4: It was like, they look absolutely lost, right. You had 174 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 4: several turnovers in a row, a couple of shot clock violations, 175 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 4: a lot of pointing as if it was the Spider 176 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: Man meme come to life. No continuity there, And so 177 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: when all of a sudden you get to the playoffs 178 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 4: and it's like, all right, we need some depth. Cat 179 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 4: picked up his requisite too, silly fouls early, so we 180 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 4: need to go to the bench. Oh wait, now we 181 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 4: can't use him because he can't play defense and he's 182 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 4: in foul trouble. All of those things to say, it's 183 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 4: an imperfectly structured roster, and we've been clear about that 184 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 4: talking about that the whole season for those that live 185 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 4: and die by Jason's Knicks fandom and Mets fandom, but 186 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 4: Nicks fandom, We appreciate you being part of the show. 187 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 4: That means you listen a lot if you get triggered 188 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 4: by it, So thank you. Just stay with us because 189 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: it's gonna it's gonna be a wild off season. But 190 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 4: for this move, you say, hey, congratulations on a job done. 191 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 4: Here's a giant pile of money to go out the door, 192 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: and you try to figure out what's next. The roster 193 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 4: is gonna go through an overhaul, and Rose is certainly 194 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 4: on the under the microscope here as to what kind 195 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 4: of depth and where we're looking at for the NBA 196 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 4: and things changing with these two teams that'll square off 197 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 4: starting Thursday, when you're running ten sometimes eleven deep right 198 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: and fast break points and ability to get out of 199 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 4: that versus all right, slow the ball down and take 200 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: nothing from brunts, and you can decide whether you want 201 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 4: them on your top five in the game today. Jason 202 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 4: put that poll question out on air last week. But 203 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 4: it's just that idea of all right, how do you 204 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 4: restructure this and what's the direction going forward? And with 205 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 4: Thibodeau as the face, the gruff, non responsive in many 206 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 4: ways coach of this squad in New York. That's just 207 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 4: not gonna stand right. The expectation really went through the 208 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 4: roof after beating the hated Celtics, and that game one 209 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 4: loss will forever stain whatever legacy. Now Cat got him 210 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 4: fired twice so that we should remember that. It's like 211 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 4: this guy again, all right, and you know all all 212 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 4: the things we've talked about. You know, you can only 213 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 4: hide him so long, and defensively, that was the reason 214 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: he didn't fit with what Minnesota was trying to do. 215 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 4: And you thought you'd be able to piece it together. 216 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 4: But again, if you're only gonna run six seven deep 217 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 4: and you don't have big men on the bench to 218 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: spell adequately, and you can only cover up defensive lacking 219 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 4: uh issues by Brunson and Cat so long before you're exposed. 220 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 4: And Indiana did it. So now it's to the next 221 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 4: iteration of the Knicks. And it was fun watching all 222 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 4: the names. As you said, the bell odds great, The 223 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 4: betting odds had I think thirty five guys on it. 224 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, freight, where we're done? Where was Stephen A? Smith. 225 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: Where where was he was he in the take no 226 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: hold on a second, Let. 227 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 5: Me way behind Doc Rivers? 228 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: Oh he is no, but look, but just think about 229 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: it because normally we see it with players. Right. 230 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: Usually when when a manager oversees a collapse and a 231 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: team loses, it's a we collapsed over the course. 232 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: Of the end of the regular season. 233 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: We collapsed in the playoffs, and that's why coaches get fired. 234 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: This is a one series thing, but it had We've 235 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: seen it. Sometimes you don't realize you see it, but 236 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: you do. I'll go back to last year in Major 237 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: League Baseball, right, so let's me bring up pe A 238 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: Lonzo's home run. Devin Williams one of the best closers 239 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: of Major League baseball, right. 240 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: One of the best. 241 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: Now, he's hurt a little bit last year, but guy, 242 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: give up one home run all season. He is as 243 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: lights out a closer as there was. Right, fastball, change up, 244 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: that's all you needed, right, That's all Marianna Rivera needed. 245 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 2: But he gives up the big. 246 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: Home run to Alonso and the ninth inning of a game, 247 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: the Brewers had a two to nothing lead and they 248 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: were moving on to the NLDS, and they gave up 249 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: four runs in the inning and they lost. 250 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: Sometimes a loss is. 251 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: So bad you couldn't bring him back, Right, You couldn't 252 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: bring Devin Williams back. 253 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: You couldn't bring the You couldn't. 254 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: Bring the guy back, because it's just the loss against 255 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: the Mets would hang over. You don't know, is he's 256 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: still gonna be the same guy. He's gonna be thinking 257 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: about that loss. It's a daily reminder of the home 258 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: run because that home run was such a big deal. 259 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: It wasn't just hey, he gave up a home run. 260 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: They lost a game. This was ninth inning. Man, come in, 261 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: shut the door. It's a two run lead. It was 262 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: so bad the Brewers had to move on from him. 263 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 7: Right. 264 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: It's not like he wanted up a big contract. It's 265 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: not like there was a. 266 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: Situation where he's gonna hit free agency or where the 267 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: Brewers knew we can't go, we can't move on with him, 268 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: and we have to deal him. 269 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: So they traded him to the Yankees. Right. 270 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: I mean, that's really why it happens with players. Mostly 271 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: guys at miss field goals, Guys that give up big 272 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: home runs, got guys that that that melt down in 273 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: a pitching situation, right when when you Darvish couldn't come 274 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: back to the Dodgers after that big World Series melt 275 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: down when alleged he was tipping pitches like that's it, Like, 276 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: you can't come back after this. Usually it's players, but 277 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: this was such a big deal and and you know 278 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: where are you gonna go? You can't bring the head 279 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: coach back because that's too much a reminder of how 280 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: bad things were. And you just need a fresh start, 281 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: no matter who it is. You'd a fresh start with 282 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: this team and go forward because it's young, you're building. 283 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: And again that's why I'm not surprised at all that 284 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: this happened. 285 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 4: It's just the negative part of being the face of 286 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 4: the franchise. They become the face of the franchise, futility 287 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: at fifty two years the foff as it. 288 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 6: Were, Jason all that said, he got fired because the 289 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 6: nick sucked. 290 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: They stop that. 291 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: We were there were three teams left and we were 292 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: one of them. We were in the final three. 293 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 6: We're going to the finals, and we told you no, no, no, 294 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 6: you got to you're not getting past the pacers. 295 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 3: All right, righty, stephen A is sixty to one sixty 296 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 3: to one. 297 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 2: Doc Rivers, Really, he's not on. 298 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 4: The short list. I'm looking at here. I got Johnny 299 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 4: Bright from. 300 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 5: She's not a favorite new List. 301 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: Wait, Stephen A. Smith has shorter odds than Doc Rivers. 302 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 4: No, at least from Bovada what they had put up earlier. 303 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: Then. 304 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 4: Well, I mean they also had Patrick Ewing at plus 305 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 4: nine point fifty with Sam Cassel and Mike Budenolzer. 306 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: Oh wow, okay, all right, all right, Mark Jackson at 307 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 3: fourteen to one. 308 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 4: Okay, Jeff Van Gundy return at twenty five to one. 309 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: Stephen, what do you think of the what do you 310 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: think of the nixt performance tonight?

It 313 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: was depressing. It was disgusting, distressing. It was frightful. It 314 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: was ghastly. 315 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 3: It was horrifying. 316 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: It was shocking. It was ugly.

This makes no sense. We 414 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: talked about it at the time. Why because the Dolphins 415 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: don't have another tight end on the roster catch balls. 416 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna say goodbye to a guy called eighty eight 417 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: passes last year. 418 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 2: Okay, you're tanking. 419 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: This would be stupid for you to do unless you're 420 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: tanking for the Steelers. You still don't have a quarterback man. 421 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: You're talking about trading for John Newsmith and giving him money. 422 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: You're have anybody to throw the football because you're waiting 423 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: to see if Aaron Rodgers wants to come play for you. 424 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 3: Well, was this a move for Mason Rudolph? 425 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 4: We get we get the duel tight end between him 426 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 4: and friar Mouth. You only have to complete a ball 427 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 4: between five and ten yards. 428 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: I mean, come on it, it might actually be genius. 429 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: They called Mason Rudolphin and said, hey, Mason, what do 430 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: you need to succeed this year? 431 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 3: I need another tight end? 432 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: Right, So you already have Friarmuth, who is pretty good. No, 433 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: we're adding John hus Smith right, and you don't have 434 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: a quot So this is stupid. Okay, then, okay, we 435 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: get the story earlier today Adam Schefter report the deal 436 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: is off. Deal is off. John new Smith is not 437 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: getting del that's not gonna happen. We're not gonna have 438 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: John new Smith going to the Steelers. Okay, the trade 439 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: is off, all right, great, and then a few hours later, 440 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: oh no, the trade is back on. Okay, now can 441 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: we stop with the stupid because now we're back to 442 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: the story from last week where it's just stupid. Because now, okay, 443 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: now we're back to like each each side realized, okay, 444 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: this is kind of stupid, and you know, we don't 445 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: want to be seen as tanking. We don't want this 446 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: to happen. Let's call this off. No, no, no, no, let's go 447 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: back and now let's do it. So now the trade 448 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: is back on again, and they could be in there. 449 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: It's back on in which they're talking about it, not 450 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: back on in which they've made the trade. 451 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 2: So we can go. 452 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: Back to our take of last week that this is 453 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: stupid because the Dolphins are only doing this, that their 454 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: tanking and the Steelers are doing it. 455 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 3: Who knows why. 456 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why. We don't have a quarterback. But 457 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: now let's get another tight end. Is that gonna work 458 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers? Does Aaron Rodgers never really threw the 459 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: ball to one tight end. Let let alone, he's gonna throw. 460 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 3: It to two guys? Come on, man, what is what 461 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 3: is happening? Being? 462 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 2: Teams have lost their minds. That's why this entire. 463 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: Story it was stupid then, ok, clear has prevailed. 464 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: Now it's stupid again. 465 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, looking at it from the Dolphins side, because they've 466 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 4: got so much swirling. Right, you had the season with 467 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 4: Tua tonguea Bai Looa missed some games, but all in all, 468 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 4: you know he's ready to roll. You've got tyreek Hill 469 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 4: who's been on a pr Let's clean up a bunch 470 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 4: of mess in the background. Here is Hey, I'm happy 471 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 4: to be here. But is he a post June first? 472 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 4: Right now we're June third? Is he gonna get dealt? Right? 473 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 4: There's been a lot of talk about that. And Jalen 474 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 4: Wattle disappeared a year ago, right, his numbers were down. 475 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 4: So is the the bloom come off the rose? That 476 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 4: was Mike McDaniel, Right, he was supposed to revolutionize thing. 477 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 4: He was the super genius. He stakes and that's with 478 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 4: a top five running back in a chan Right. So, 479 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 4: so you've got a passing game that isn't working. 480 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 3: You're not setting the league up fire. 481 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 4: You're getting passed by the Patriots and their rebuild and 482 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 4: whatever Vrabel's able to do. And the Jets might have 483 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 4: more explosive plays in their offense with Justin Fields under 484 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 4: center than what you've been building for several years. So yeah, 485 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 4: let's trade an All Pro guy who caught eighty eight 486 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 4: balls and kept the chains moving to at least give 487 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 4: you a puncher's chance at a bunch of games. 488 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: So none of it, none of it makes sense. None 489 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: of this makes sense now unless, hey, you're tanking. If 490 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: you're the Dolphins, which, wow, man, a year ago they 491 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: were the up and coming. I still can't get over 492 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: the fact that they were so a year ago. Now 493 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: is watch out for the Dolphins. Their speed, they're revolutionized 494 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. And now maybe they're tanking. Maybe maybe 495 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna wind up tanking, and the Steelers just continue 496 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: to prove that, Look, we really don't know what we're doing. 497 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: We just come to work every day and just you know, 498 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: who knows, We don't know.

This one 521 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 4: has been reported very widely, and you've got two franchises 522 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 4: that seemingly are in no man's land, like the Rogers thing. 523 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 4: I think there's a handshake deal and eventually we get 524 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 4: to that point, and now it's just everybody's being held 525 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 4: hostage in the news cycles. Uh. And it gives us 526 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 4: one thing that is a consistent thread, waiting on OTAs 527 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 4: into training camp, which is still along seven eight weeks away. 528 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 4: But this for the Dolphins, it really makes no sense 529 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 4: in any way, shape or form. You're what you're tanking 530 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 4: to get into the quarterbacks who mayor and may not 531 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 4: be any good Arch Manning, have we seen enough? Yeah, 532 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 4: he runs fast.

I don't I don't 535 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 3: think that's the cell point for Hey, let's tank right. 536 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 3: Every other quarterback has a giant question mark and. 537 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 4: We're like, all right, we're gonna pop them up because 538 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 4: you know they may get there, but none of them 539 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 4: have the requisite starts. Right, we always talk twenty five 540 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 4: thirty be in the benchmark. They all still have a 541 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 4: lot of prove it.

You're telling me 551 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 4: Arch isn't creeping up towards that money at Texas. 552 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 2: Oh, of course he is. 553 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 3: Of course he is good. 554 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 4: So you know the wait, I can stand another year 555 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 4: and do that when the rookie wage scale has dictated 556 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 4: by the NFL. 557 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 3: What I stay here another year?

The only well it look 669 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 6: five bombs in the bench. 670 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: This is the only part of this that I'm upset 671 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: about today, because again I told you I wasn't surprised. 672 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: I'm not up. 673 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: Look, the Knicks need a clean start because of this 674 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: loss was just so bad. I'm okay with the new direction, 675 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: and it's fine. Here's the only I hate Tibbs getting 676 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: fired because it gives the bleeping Pacers another w right, 677 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: because it was not only did we beat the Knicks, 678 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: not only did we win against our all time rival, 679 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: not only do we win in a way which embarrasses them. 680 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 3: We got through the joke sign again. 681 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: Now Halliburton and Reggie Miller can sign pictures together a 682 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: card shows for the next thirty years and make money. 683 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: We'll split this money. No, no, now it's oh, we 684 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: got TIBs fired. Like it's another win for the Pacers 685 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: who win, and they win without class and all, and 686 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: they're moving on and now they're just saying, oh, yeah, 687 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: look now we got TIBs fired and they're laughing going 688 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: into the NBA Finals. That's the only thing I'm upset 689 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: about is that it gives the Pacers another w. 690 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: Because they got TIBs fired. Well, but it was inevitable, right, 691 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 2: It's the Fano snap. 692 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 4: And I guess if you can trade on this, look, 693 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 4: if they go out and get absolutely curb stumped by OKC, 694 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 4: it has its weight to a point, right, because the 695 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 4: sting of getting absolutely dominated by SGA and the greatness 696 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 4: that is the combination of Chet and lou Dort will 697 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 4: will send them into oblivion. So the short lived successes 698 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 4: of vanquishing the Knicks, it's not really gonna stay. Now 699 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 4: we see them in the playoffs matched up again next year. 700 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 4: Sure there's a lot of run and you'll get some 701 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 4: good b roll of TIBs with his arms folded ahead 702 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 4: of Game one and the crowd hight video. There's no 703 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 4: question about that. A distraught Chalamet or Spike Lee or 704 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 4: whatever else they do with his little train conductor hat on, 705 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 4: all of those things will be there. But you can't 706 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 4: live there like this is where you knew it was 707 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 4: gonna happen. The Knicks fan base was calling for change, 708 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 4: and the obvious's cat, which we talked about yesterday, we 709 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 4: stayed on the roster side because we'd been doing the coaching. 710 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 4: Inevitability of Tibbs even with that extension, so he goes 711 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 4: into the Business Hall of Fame. 712 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 2: Now. 713 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 3: But all of that to. 714 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 4: Say, it's it's you'll get over it. Why because you 715 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 4: need to claw back against the Dodgers. You have more 716 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 4: pressing issues now. You have to try to spoil Kershaw day. 717 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 4: You can't worry about what what the uh the Pacers 718 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 4: did to your Nicks anymore. Uh. 719 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: Well, unfortunately this is a story. I mean, it's not 720 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: only so much I can do this. 721 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 4: I'm saying for your own personal psychology of this that 722 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 4: you have to I mean, you have to let it go. 723 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 4: You were ready for Kenny Atkinson to be hired away 724 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 4: from Cleveland or or whatever might happen, right, I mean, 725 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 4: it's it's inevitable. Maybe maybe it is Doc Rivers, maybe 726 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 4: it's Stephen A. 727 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 2: Smith. 728 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 4: Maybe it's your guy Danny Hurley, because I know you 729 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 4: lit candles. You went down and found a bodega that 730 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 4: had Danny Hurley votive candles and lit those all across 731 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 4: your your little, uh you know room with with Nick's rebelia, 732 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 4: I have no doubt. 733 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 2: Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. 734 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. 735 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 3: Coming up next, we got the play of the day. 736 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: And I didn't think you could have a quarterback controversy 737 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: when you sign a guide to one hundred million dollar contract. 738 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: But maybe that's going on in one NFL city.

Head coach Mike McDonald was on Seattle Sports 811 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: seven to ten am earlier today and was asked if 812 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: anything other than an injury between now and the start 813 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: of the season could lead the Seahawks to go with 814 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: another quarterback instead of Sam Darnold, who they just gave 815 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: three years and one hundred and ten million dollars too. 816 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: H McDonald said, no, you guys are crazy.

You got to ask the question. 818 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: Sam is our starting quarterback. 819 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 2: We love him. He's doing a tremendous job. 820 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: Ah, Yes, and no, he's not looked great so far, 821 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: up and down in OTAs making some good plays. Other 822 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: times he is struggling. But of course he's gonna be 823 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, right. They gave the guy three years 824 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: and one hundred and ten million dollars. Of course he's 825 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: gonna start. 826 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 3: You know. 827 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: The big thing to understand out of this and this 828 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: is what you know. This is what comes up with 829 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,720 Speaker 1: the the the perils of signing a guy who puts 830 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 1: one big year together in his fourth system and plays well. 831 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: Sam Darnald is not a good quarterback. Sam Darnald is 832 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: a good quarterback in the right system. And you can 833 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 1: sit here and say, well, we projected he'll do Okay, 834 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: He's not throwing up to Justin Jefferson anymore. 835 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 2: Yes, Jackson Smith, the jigba is really good. 836 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the Seahawks have talent, but this is 837 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: not the up and down the field offense where he 838 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,399 Speaker 1: fit last year with Minnesota, and to think that, yeah, he. 839 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 2: Could do it. Remember, he's not a good quarterback. 840 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,919 Speaker 1: He's good in the right system, and so far there's 841 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: been one system of all the teams he's been on 842 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: that he's been good for. 843 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 3: So yeah, this is why I'm. 844 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: A little suspicious and a little apprehensive to say, all 845 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Sam Donald's great. You know the Ota stories. 846 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: I remember these Ota stories from the Jets. Boy, Sam 847 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: Donald made a couple of good throws here with point 848 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: OTAs he struggled. Remember, he's only good in the right 849 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: He's not a quarterback that's good anywhere. He's not a 850 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: good quarterback that if you take him out of a 851 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: team and bring him somewhere else, he signs for a 852 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: lot of money. Hey, he's a good quarterback. He is 853 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: good in the right system, and the jury is out 854 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: if this is the right system for him in Seattle. 855 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,760 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, remember when they go back to twenty 856 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 4: twelve where we had Matt Flynn signed him too, a 857 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 4: big deal, and then all of a sudden, Russell Wilson 858 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 4: was the guy. 859 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,720 Speaker 3: So I mean, it can't happen. 860 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 4: History can repeat itself, and Sam Donald I really thought, 861 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 4: there's this is going to be a dating thing, because 862 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 4: it didn't when there was something that started circulating about 863 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 4: celebrities or whatever, and then a bunch of articles about 864 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 4: the woman he is currently in a relationship with. So 865 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 4: you always had that circling in the background. Uh, for 866 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 4: all all of that, but for for Seattle. Yeah, this 867 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 4: is not the controversy you want. I get it. It 868 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 4: gives us some headlines for for you and I to 869 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 4: talk about them in Seattle. It's like, we spent this 870 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 4: money on a quarterback to come in and you've got 871 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 4: a pretty good system, right, you got a pretty good 872 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 4: roster division that's going to be hell to get through, 873 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,399 Speaker 4: there's no question about that. 874 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 3: Oh and you traded away a big piece of what 875 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 3: your offense was. Yeah. 876 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 4: No, not that that's a you know, something to to 877 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 4: really lament at this stage. 878 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,439 Speaker 1: I mean, really, he's one for five and that that's 879 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: what it is. And if it's a that's why it's 880 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: a huge gamble for Sam Dart. Look, I get why 881 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: they did what they did. They wanted to move on 882 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: Geno Smith only got him so far. But man, you 883 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: gotta remember that's what reminds you. This is a huge risk. 884 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: It's an absolutely huge risk going on in Seattle, and 885 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 1: all of a sudden now you got people say, Hey, 886 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,760 Speaker 1: could he not be the quarterback at beginning of the season. 887 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 3: That's insane. Well, but it's good to have these things 888 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 3: to fester and give us stuff to talk about. Where 889 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 3: does he rank in fantasy purposes? How up? 890 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: Next we get back to the biggest story of the day, 891 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: The two names I would like to see take over 892 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: for Tims in New York.
