Speaker 1: All Right, So Taylor is back from assignment from Port

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Saint Lucy. I believe he's in studio today. He is

00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: real goody eras in studio mikey a is well, he's

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: always at Hartford, That's where he is. I am in

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Chicago today because I was so upset about the Bears

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: potentially moving to Indiana. I decided to come up here

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: and try to stop it.

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: How about that Steve Gotts brought his whole army to Illinois.

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: I will defend this turf. Stu.

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 4: You should go to Soldier Field and chain yourself there.

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Listen. I'm in Chicago and it is so cold here

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: and it is so windy that I think the Bears

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: they shouldn't move to Indiana. I'm gonna try to get

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: them to move to Florida. I mean, you're an insane

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: person if you live in this place.

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: We've got enough teams in this state. We don't need anymore.

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 3: Orlando does not need an NFL team, thank you.

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Yes, but we get Caleb Williams. That's what I'm trying

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: to get. I mean, come on, the best quarterback in

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: the state, would he not be?

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could just trade him to the Dolphins. We'll

28
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 3: be fine there, guys.

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: We shouldn't be surprised the Bears are trying to move

30
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: to Indiana. We'll talk about this with Field Yates. It

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: is the uh, well, it's the capital of football. Now

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: it is Indian What do you think football? What state

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: do you think of right now?

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: I mean right now, it's yeah, it's Indiana, Man, Indiana,

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: and maybe Washington. But then people are just like, is

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: it Washington state? Is it Washington?

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: D c Oh, yeah, Seattle, never mind. Yeah, we're gonna

38
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: take Taylor. Twelveman is going to join us, Field Yates

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: is going to join us. If I am absent from

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: the Taylor twelve minute interview, it's because I didn't want

41
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: to talk about football. And if Izzy is absent from

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: the Field Yates interview, it's because he doesn't want to

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: talk about football. That's what's happening. I am told by

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: Taylor that we have Christopher mad Dog Russo sound. We

45
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: have some Colin cowhurt sound to get to as well.

46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: But let's start where we always start, that is with

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: the legend Christopher mad Dog Russo. Taylor, what do you

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: have for me?

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: So, me and Mike Ye have been blasting free bird

50
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 4: all day getting ready for the USA men's hockey game today.

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Yes.

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: Yes, Earlier this week, Christopher mad Dog Russo tried to

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 4: pronounce the name of the country Latvia. Really not the

54
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 4: hardest of names to pronounce game no y, but when

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: mad Dog everything becomes a dangerous game when he's trying

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: to say it. So, I was saying, we have this

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: sound cued up.

58
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 5: They were bracketed with the US and just like the

59
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 5: NHL doesn't receien in the postseason, they were bracketed with

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 5: the US. They won the game yesterday against the Kiva.

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: Is that some sort of prescription drug?

62
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: No, I believe I went to high school with her Lativa.

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, hold on, guys, if you listen really closely,

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: you hear him trying to avoid it. He is doing

65
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: everything in his power to not try to pronounce the

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: name of that country. We need to hear it again.

67
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Listen to him dance around it, dance around it, and

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: then realize, you know what, I gotta try to pronounce it.

69
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: They were bracketed with the US, and just like the

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 5: NHL doesn't receive in the postseason, they were bracketed with

71
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 5: the US. They they won the game yesterday against Lativa.

72
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: You know when he's when he sees the eggshells that

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: he's about to have to walk on, He's like, ooh,

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: he said bracketed, and then he just said it again

75
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: just to prepare for what he was about to do.

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: And then he's like, I gotta go in here. I

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: gotta try this Lativa.

78

00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: that have to do with Darren Peterson? Again, I didn't

95
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,760

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: him Irish exit because he just takes himself out whenever

Speaker 1: right now. I do.

100
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 6: I do.

101
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: I want to talk about him now, not about Olympic hockey. Well,

102
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. The game just started. It's

103
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: a semi final game. I mean, I'm not going to

104
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: get into it until they win the gold medal. Okay.

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: Can I tell you how weird it was for me

106
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: watching Canada Finland?

107
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: Why?

108
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: Because so many of those players are Panthers, so many

109
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: of those players are Florida Panthers on both sides, and

110
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: I was just like, I don't know what to cheer for.

111
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: I don't know which team to cheer for. I don't

112
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: know if I love Canada or if I hate Canada,

113
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 3: And I mean the Finns, what did they ever do

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: to me? Maybe I got a cheer for them and

115
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 3: it was a lot of fun. It was a great game. Actually,

116
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: all of these last few the quarterfinals were great, and

117
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: this one was great. Canada coming back from down to

118
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: nothing to beat Finland and then I mean it was

119
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: just a terrible penalty late by the Finns. How did

120
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: I get into this instead of Darren Peterson Man, I

121
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: don't know.

122
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I tried. I tried to tee up for the thing

123
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: that you wanted to talk about, and now if we

124
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: never get to it, it's on you on me. Okay, yes,

125
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, Taylor. I tried to queue him up.

126
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: He's wanted to talk about it all week and now

127
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: suddenly he wants to talk about Matthew Kjuck and the Fins.

128
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: But this is what Olympic hockey will do to somebody.

129
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: You want to be wrapped up in that American flag.

130
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: STU were in a group chat meet you and Mikey

131
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 4: with Chris the Bear FeliCa where if the Bear ever

132
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 4: has a a tip for us, it goes right to

133
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: that group chat so we could get it in before

134
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 4: Bear's bet shifts the market. Bear texted us before USA

135
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: Sweden and said, guys, bet Sweden plus two hundred. I

136
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 4: like the Swedes in this and I texted Bear back,

137
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: I would rather lose betting on the USA than win

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: betting on the Swedes.

139
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: I responded, I responded, tell him, Taylor, put it on

140
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: the pole. Taylor, that exact question. Put it on the poll.

141
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: Would you rather lose money betting on the United States

142
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: of America or win money betting on the Swedes? How

143
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: am I not in this text thread? Because you don't

144
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: like the Bear. That's why I don't wouldn't talk? Is

145
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: that not fun? Is that not what?

146
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: You just encourage him? We encourage him to say, hey, Bear,

147
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 4: keep shooting. We know you're gonna get some shots. We

148
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: just need winners.

149
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: You just knocked him on national radio though, and use

150
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: the word chirp, which I can't stand.

151
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: Yes, but is he Here is the problem when we

152
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: mock Bear, we're three dopes. Okay, you have credibility. You

153
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: have something that we don't have, and so it stings

154
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: when it comes from your mouth as opposed to me,

155
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: Taylor or mikey a like it hurts Bear when you

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: give him a hard time. When we do it. We're

157
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: just dopes doing it, you know. But can I be

158
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: a dope please?

159
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: Because I'm just giving him a hard time on his

160
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: most obvious of missus. It's not like I'm getting in

161
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: there on one that he barely missed and say, hey,

162
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: you call yourself a professional? Better over there?

163
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't say any of that stuff. Yeah, I'll tell

164
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: you so.

165
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 7: You have far too long to become a dope. You

166
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 7: have far too much work to do before you lose

167
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 7: your journalistic integrity and the thing that gives us integrity

168
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 7: and you become another dope.

169
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: This takes two years of press. I would say yes.

170
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 7: And that I would say we weren't mocking the Bear

171
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 7: for losing. We were mocking the Bear for placing that bet. Okay,

172
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 7: you don't beneicts to the USA. These colors don't.

173
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: Does the Bear think I don't like him? No, he

174
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: doesn't think that. He doesn't think that Taylor put it

175
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: on the pole. Please? Is it possible for Isy to

176
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: be a dope.

177
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: Also put it on the pole? Do these colors run?

178
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Listen? Listen in life? Okay, you walk down a long road, okay,

179
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: and then everyone arrives at the same fork in the road,

180
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: and you decide, Hey, do I want to be taken

181
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: seriously or do I want to be a dope? Okay?

182
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: Those are the only two decisions, and you made your

183
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: decision many many years ago to go down the road

184
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: the path of I want to be taken seriously. I

185
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: want to be a journalist. I want to have journalistic integrity.

186
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: You can't go back, You just you can't do it.

187
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: You're stuck there. What if? What if?

188
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: When I was making my decision, there was there wasn't

189
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: really sign that said, hey, dope, this way, professionalism this way.

190
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: There was no sign on the other half. So I

191
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 3: just followed the signs. How did you know to go

192
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 3: the other way?

193
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: I just knew I didn't have a choice, to be

194
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: honest with Yes, So some people they walk along this

195
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: road is he and there is no fork? Okay. I

196
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: never arrived at a fork. I just kept dead end

197
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: down the road. Yeah, the dopey road. Okay.

198
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: Oh, so much more fun over here, Yes, I miss it.

199
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: I have a lot of fomo because here we are,

200
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: we can laugh, or we can talk about Darren Peterson

201
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: whether or not he's hurting his draft stock, even though

202
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 3: nowhere that I've looked, have I seen his draft stock

203
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: fall below number one.

204
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch Live a day of Stu Godson

207
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 7: Field Yates joining us first, I want to ask you,

208
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 7: it feels like Jeremiah Love is almost penciled in right

209
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 7: now to go to Kansas City. It's like every mock

210
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 7: draft I've seen, it feels like that's just the perfect

211
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 7: fit at the perfect time.

212
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 8: Do you think that's happening.

213
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 9: I don't, because I don't think he's gonna get there,

214
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 9: even though my last mock draft had him going there.

215
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 9: One of the things that I acknowledge after my mock

216
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 9: draft went out was I have Jeremiah Love.

217
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 8: Going in the first pick number nine. Excuse me.

218
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 9: I think that by the time we get to the draft,

219
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 9: some of the teams that are picking ahead of nine

220
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,479
Speaker 9: will have taken care of some of the more fundamental

221
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 9: positions on their roster that currently needed dressing. So the

222
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 9: Commanders need pass rushers and wide receivers and things of

223
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 9: that nature. If they go out, they get a pass

224
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 9: rusher and a wide receiver or both. During free agency,

225
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 9: they may say to themselves, Okay, we're in a better

226
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 9: spot to take a game changing running back. Same goes

227
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 9: for other teams that are in that first eight picks.

228
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 9: Maybe the New Orleans Saints number eight to head of

229
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 9: Kansas City. So Love would be an incredible pick for

230
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 9: Casey at number nine. I'm just not convinced he gets there.

231
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 9: I just think at this point of the offseason, when

232
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 9: I'm sitting there and staring at the teams and all

233
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 9: of their needs, It's hard for me to justify giving

234
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 9: them a running back when they could grab a gifted

235
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 9: pass rusher or wide receiver to fill what I think

236
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 9: is a more difficult need to fill earlier.

237
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 8: On in the draft.

238
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: Is Love the best player in the draft?

239
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 8: I don't think.

240
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 9: I think for Mendoza is. And this is not so

241
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 9: when Fernanda Mendoza goes number one. This is not something

242
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 9: that happens often, which is a quarterback goes higher than

243
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 9: he should based off of positional value. Like I think

244
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 9: he's the best player in the draft. Not a whole

245
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 9: lot to poke holes in for Nanda Mendoza's resume for

246
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 9: are with he had an amazing final season, obviously undefeated,

247
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 9: Heisman Trophy, led the FBS in passing touchdowns, very accurate.

248
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 9: Not an amazing athlete, but definitely a good enough athlete

249
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 9: for the quarterback position, which is I think becoming a

250
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 9: bigger and bigger part of a quarterback portfolio in the

251
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 9: NFL these days. We saw for Nanna Mendoza's iconic run

252
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,119
Speaker 9: against Miami in the National Championship Game for a touchdown.

253
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 9: So good enough athlete, great pocket passer, and the Raiders

254
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 9: finally are on sort of a parallel trajectory between where

255
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 9: the roster is and who the coaches if you think

256
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 9: about some of the recent regimes they've had, and none

257
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 9: more so than Pete Carrol last year, who came in

258
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 9: and he wants to compete or wanted to compete. He

259
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 9: was the oldest head coach in league history last year.

260
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 9: I'm not saying that just because Clint Kubiak is young,

261
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 9: He's recently turned thirty nine, it doesn't mean that they

262
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 9: can't compete and win. But a younger coach I think

263
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 9: much more likely to be on board with a project

264
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 9: that might take two three or four years to get

265
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 9: to where they want to be, Whereas Pete Carroll was

266
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 9: less motivated to worry about twenty twenty nine and twenty thirty.

267
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 9: He wanted to figure out a way to win in

268
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 9: twenty twenty five field.

269
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said Mendoza because I was going to

270
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: ask why people aren't as excited as they should be

271
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: from the for the quarterback from Indiana. It's odd to me.

272
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering, what are the concerns you're hearing across

273
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: the league about Mendoza. Are their concerns consistent concerns.

274
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 8: Not many concerns.

275
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 9: I would say that one era that I think would

276
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 9: be a little bit better, And this I think is

277
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 9: something that a quarterback it sort of is developed with

278
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 9: who you have catching passes. The downfield accuracy was good,

279
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 9: I thought, on like supreme downfield shots. He can probably

280
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 9: help himself out by just airing it out a little

281
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 9: bit more. Couple of plays last year where he's taking

282
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 9: shots down the field and he kind of puts it

283
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 9: almost where like if this wide receiver maintained the exact

284
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 9: speed for the entirety of the route, I catch it.

285
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 9: But as a quarterback you're kind of hoping, like, what's

286
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 9: what's It's probably better to overshoot your wide receiver by

287
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 9: a little bit than undershoot your wide receiver by a

288
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 9: little bit because that gives a defensive back a chance

289
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 9: to make a play on the ball. So but we're

290
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 9: kind of nitpicking there. I think the other conversation that

291
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 9: will come up, and it's not the easiest thing to

292
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 9: talk about, is Fernando is a different He's wired a

293
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 9: little bit differently than some of these quarterbacks, right.

294
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean he's in a good way.

295
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's almost it's like this incredibly charming demeanor about him.

296
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 8: Right, He's happy, go lucky. Almost.

297
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 9: The question will be how do you lead when you're

298
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 9: not fifteen and oh sixteen and oh number one team of.

299
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 8: The country, national champion, undefeated.

300
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 9: Right, That's gonna be the challenge for any quarterback is

301
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 9: when you go from top of the mountain to starting

302
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 9: from the bottom of the mountain, how do guys react

303
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 9: to you? But and this is not just trying to like,

304
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 9: you know, make this kid sound every bit of advertised

305
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 9: like he's loved. He was loved it Indiana by all

306
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 9: this teammates. He was loved at Cowboy all this teammates,

307
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 9: so he's a little bit different for sure. Uh, I

308
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 9: think that this might take some adjusting for some guys

309
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 9: who are maybe used to think about some of the

310
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 9: quarterbacks we have right now. Right like Joe Burrow is

311
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 9: like and Patrick Mahomes are dogs, right like they're you know,

312
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 9: Joe Burrow is Joe cool, Patrick Mahomes. This is his

313
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 9: fiery competitive that you see on Sundays. Mendoza's competitive is

314
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 9: all get out. He just you hear in front of

315
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 9: the microphone and he really does sound like just this

316
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 9: incredibly happy to be here young man, which I think

317
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 9: is commendable in some ways.

318
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: Yes, mikey A, I love this. It's the rare. It's

319
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: the rare flaw with a quarterback. The flaw is he's

320
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: too nice.

321
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's not a bad dude.

322
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: He's just a sweet, lovable kid. And that's it really is.

323
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 9: I mean, you guys have all seen him, right, I

324
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 9: mean you probably, I mean you probably have heard of it.

325
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 9: He's a South Florida kid. You probably heard a little

326
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 9: bit about his background, and like, yeah, it's great, you know, uh,

327
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 9: it's you know, but we're we're sort of poking holes.

328
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: In a that's what relatively.

329
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 9: Unblemished resume from this past season. So that's why I

330
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 9: think he's the best player in the draft. I don't

331
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 9: think this. I'm not just rating him number one because

332
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 9: he plays the most important position field.

333
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 8: I love that you said that, But let me ask you.

334
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 7: Would you take him if you were the Raiders considering

335
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 7: all of the roster holes they have and the fact

336
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 7: of next year's quarterback class looking as stacked as any

337
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 7: we might have ever seen, is it something where they

338
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 7: consider not taking him or moving down to build up

339
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 7: their team.

340
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 9: The draft starts number two this year, the Raiders are

341
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 9: taking Mendoza. I would take Mendoza. And you're right, this

342
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 9: draft class next year like could be. And I know

343
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 9: that fans. I've said this one hundred times over the

344
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 9: past month. I feel like, but I'll reiterate it once again. Fans,

345
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 9: I get it. They get mad when we say, hey,

346
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 9: next year's draft is gonna be the one right because

347
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 9: we were talking about this year's quarterback class in a major,

348
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 9: major way.

349
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 8: The draft class across the board.

350
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 9: Next year, not just the quarterbacks, but the wide receivers,

351
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 9: the pass rushers could be outstanding. That being said, like,

352
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 9: if one or two of these guys next year has

353
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 9: the grade that I've given to Mendoza this year, that

354
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 9: would be huge. Like this is not just best player

355
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 9: in the class, best quarterback in this class. This is

356
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 9: like a real authentic quarterback grade that I think is

357
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 9: closer to as close to where we were with the

358
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 9: three quarterbacks that went one to three and twenty twenty four,

359
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 9: maybe not quite as high as Caleb, Jaden and Drake.

360
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 9: Those guys all offer more athletically that gives them a

361
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 9: different kind of upside and skill set. But Mendoza, to me,

362
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 9: like this is a true building block, And if you're

363
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 9: the Raiders, I get it, especially coming off of a

364
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 9: Super Bowl where a defense was the headlining unit for

365
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 9: this team the Seahawks. Sam Darnald was obviously great, but

366
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 9: it wasn't Sam Darnold who was consistently touted as like

367
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 9: the straw that stirs the drink.

368
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: Right.

369
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 9: The defense was amazing, but the sample size of forever

370
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 9: the NFL tells us that quarterbacks drive winning more than

371
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 9: any other position in the sport. And you guys to

372
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 9: just find one and get everything else squared away afterwards,

373
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 9: and the Raiders aren't a defense right now that if

374
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 9: they just get average quarterback play, they're gonna be great.

375
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 9: They need a ton on defense, But if they can

376
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 9: get this offense going, some of those defensive works will

377
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 9: feel a little bit more, a little bit less prominent field.

378
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: I know you have to run here in a couple

379
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: of minutes. We appreciate the time as always. Let me

380
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: crank through some non draft questions for you and get

381
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: some quick answers. What does Mahomes restructuring his contract mean

382
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: for Kansas City.

383
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 9: I hate to be like the wet blanket here. I

384
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 9: would say, like, get used to Mahomes doing this every year.

385
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 8: It's just it's kind of and I know that.

386
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, salary cap talk does not fire up most fans,

387
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 9: but the way the Chiefs have his contract structured, it's

388
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 9: basically primed to be restructured every year. The team was

389
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 9: amongst the most over the cap of any team in

390
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 9: the NFL, so the Chiefs need work just to like

391
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 9: get underneath.

392
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 8: The salary cap.

393
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 9: They'll probably release Juwan Taylor at some point here soon

394
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 9: and restructure Chris Jones contract. But for Mahomes, it was

395
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 9: the most prominent way that they can move towards a

396
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 9: place where they're not only under the salary cap, but

397
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 9: under the salary cap enough that if they want to

398
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 9: go big game hunting, they can do so. And whether

399
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 9: that's bringing back Tyreek Hill, resigning Travis Kelcey, going for

400
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 9: a next year year free agent that hasn't played for

401
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 9: this team previously, like they can do. So, that's a

402
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 9: team that I also think wants to make sure that

403
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 9: last year is very much in an anomaly, that last

404
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 9: year is not a standard they can accept. When you

405
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 9: have Patrick Mahomes, I think the operating mindset for Kansas

406
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 9: City is we plan on playing in the Super Bowl

407
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 9: every year.

408
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah. Tareek Hill, thirty one years old, coming off

409
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: that gruesome injury, once the most feared offensive player not

410
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: too long ago, just two years ago, the most feared

411
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: offensive player in the NFL. What are you hearing in

412
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: terms of interest for Tyreek Hill?

413
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 9: I think the interesting part here is is that we

414
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 9: don't know when he's gonna be ready. I don't think

415
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 9: it's going to be close to the start of the season.

416
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 9: So what you're measuring is when do you have Tyreek Hill?

417
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 9: And then what does he look like when you do?

418
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 9: We have seen guys come back and take a full

419
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 9: year to be themselves coming off with an ACL tair.

420
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 9: This is probably more complicated than an aclchair for Tyreek Hill.

421
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 9: So I think he's like, I don't he he could

422
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 9: be signed right now, by the way, he because he

423
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 9: was released by my race, he is eligible to be signed,

424
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 9: unlike guys who are just going to be who are

425
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 9: on expiring contracts and can be signed on March eleventh.

426
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 9: The fact that he hasn't signed with the team doesn't

427
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 9: mean there's no interest. But if I thought this was

428
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 9: going to be a three year, ninety million dollars deal

429
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 9: for Tyreek Hill, it might already be past the finish line,

430
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 9: just because you know, it's if you're that good. Teams

431
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 9: are gonna if you're he's that good. But if you're

432
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 9: that good and that available in that healthy, then it's

433
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 9: gonna be a more straightforward negotiation for a team with

434
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 9: Tyreek Kill.

435
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: Well, the Dolphins find a trade partner for Tua, I

436
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: don't think so they're just gonna release them, huh.

437
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 8: I think they're just gonna There's only one way. There's

438
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 8: one way.

439
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 9: That I can see them finding a trade partner for

440
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 9: Tua and I'm gonna do something that I said a

441
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 9: minute ago is boring to fans, but so you can

442
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 9: essentially eat salary. So I think he's got a fifty

443
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 9: four million dollar guarantee for this year from the Dolphins.

444
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 9: The Dolphins could pay down. I'm just gonna make this

445
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 9: number up. Thirty nine of that fifty four million dollars

446
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 9: cut to a check for thirty nine million dollars, and

447
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 9: that have fifteen million remaining for whatever team acquires him.

448
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 9: And I think if you're a team that's around the

449
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 9: NFL and options are limited, I think one year, fifteen

450
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 9: million bucks for two a TONGUEO B.

451
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 8: I low is a reasonable roll of the dice.

452
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 9: Yes, that sounds like a lot of money, and it

453
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 9: is obviously in quarterback role.

454
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 8: It's not right.

455
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 9: That's that's flyer money on quarterbacks. Now when the top

456
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 9: of the food chain is four times that you'd be

457
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 9: willing to I know, it sounds preposterous that fifteen million

458
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 9: dollars is a tiny roll.

459
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 8: Of the dice.

460
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 9: So I think the Dolphins could could do that if somebody,

461
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 9: if they can be patient, because it's not going to

462
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 9: be someone's primary target, it might be that a team

463
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 9: that strikes out a couple of other spots says, let's

464
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 9: revisit Tua, and if Miami can hold on to Tua

465
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 9: until that point, they might be able to execute something

466
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 9: like that.

467
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: So I'm in Chicago today because I heard the news

468
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 1: of the Bears moving to Indiana. I'm so upset about it.

469
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to stop it. I want to prevent it

470
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: from happening. Are the Bears going to play in Indiana?

471
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: That can't be true. That can't be real.

472
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 9: I tell you, I've been like poking around on this

473
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 9: for the past twenty four hours since the whatever the

474
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 9: latest legislative action was. I don't think it's totally implausible.

475
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 9: It should not be allowed like this. There's there's got

476
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 9: to be something in Roger Goode.

477
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: You should be against the law man.

478
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 9: Yes, Like the Illinois Bears sounds wrong. The Indiana Bears

479
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 9: sounds completely wrong, right, Like, like, I don't know Indiana,

480
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 9: and I have made that drive down there. The great

481
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 9: and I mean great folks at ESPN Chicago do an

482
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 9: event every summer that they kind of move around the city,

483
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 9: and one year we went down to I think the

484
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 9: hard Rock Cafe.

485
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, our casino.

486
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 9: Excuse me, down in down In, Indiana might be near

487
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 9: to Gary, but close to where the stadium proposal is,

488
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 9: and I made that drive.

489
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 8: It's not completely unbearable.

490
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 9: Mike Ya and I New England guys like it will

491
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 9: be sort of like going from Boston to Foxboro where

492
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 9: the Patriots play, right, but like they don't call them

493
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 9: the Foxborough Patriots, right Like. I don't know, it just

494
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 9: it just would be. It's just to me, it doesn't

495
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 9: feel right. It doesn't feel normal. It just feels like

496
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 9: something that shouldn't be allowed.

497
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: You know now that I'm thinking about it. Indiana is

498
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: the football capital of the world.

499
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 9: Now, I mean wow, I mean the number one is

500
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 9: the draft and everything coming up in the end.

501
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 8: I got how weirdod that be?

502
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: Geez and telling you right now, if Mendoza war in

503
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 1: Alabama Jersey, no one will be saying anything about him.

504
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 9: They'd be saying number one one, one hundred percent, isn't

505
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 9: I mean that that's what you have to You can't

506
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 9: ignore the human element of like player perception and player scouting.

507
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 8: So I'm with you there.

508
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 9: If Mendoza had done this somewhere else that was more

509
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 9: established or a traditional football school, we'd have a much

510
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 9: different take on him. That's why I like, we'll see

511
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 9: how he pans out. But going into the draft, this

512
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 9: is the easiest number one decision since.

513
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 8: At least Trevor Lawrence.

514
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 9: And I was trying to jog my brain on it

515
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 9: because I feel like during the Trevor Lawrence year, there

516
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 9: were at least some people that were like, Hey, Zach

517
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 9: Wilson's pretty intriguing too.

518
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 8: Obviously how things? Yeah, maybe it was a Chris I

519
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 8: truly we just mock him for it.

520
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I know that Chris is never afraid to

521
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 9: go his own way on scout. But like, I don't

522
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 9: think you'll find any lists now send him my way.

523
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 9: If you do that, are like, hey, here are the

524
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 9: five best quarterbacks in this year's class, and Mendoza's number four.

525
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 8: Not gonna happen this year, all right?

Speaker 1: I'm in Chicago, saving football, saving the Bears. Field Yates

Speaker 1: Taylor saving Peppers.

547
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 3: They're just keeping them in Illinois.

548
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: Well, no, I'm saving football in Chicago, That's what I'm doing. Yeah. Better.

549
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Indiana stole it, just like we stole hockey

550
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: from Canada. How about that? I mean, Taylor has been

551
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: sending in the group text pretty much the entire day

552
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: something that Colin Cowherd had said on his show. We

553
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: had the very brave take of saying that Indiana would

554
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: be worse without their Heisman Trophy quarterback who he stole

555
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: from Cavino and Rich and so, I don't know what

556
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: Taylor wants to do with this, but it's the most

557
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: obvious take in the history of sports radio. And my

558
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: feeling is that Taylor wants us to come up with

559
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: obvious takes here, and I want to extend it out

560
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: to the callers as well. Eight seven seven ninety nine

561
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: on Fox. That is eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Taylor,

562
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: what is your playing here? And why did this outrage

563
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: you so much? So?

564
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 4: This call kind of reminded me of the Benny from

565
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 4: Fort Lauderdale called that was famous from the Dan Lebtzard

566
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 4: Show with Steve Gotts. I would say, if you could

567
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 4: play that sound.

568
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: First, Benny in Fort Lauderdale, You're on seven ninety.

569
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 10: Hi, this is Betty for Fort Lauderdale.

570
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: We've established that.

571
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: I want to say that.

572
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 11: The seventy two Dolphins are so special because.

573
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 3: They won every game and then they won all the

574
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: playoff games.

575
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good call. Who is this.

576
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 4: So, Sam? We also have the sound of Colin Coward

577
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 4: where he goes on a limb and he has the

578
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: very brave take out on Aldoza.

579
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 12: But I argued this, if you take Mendoza out, they

580
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 12: do not beat Ohio State. They don't beat Miami. I

581
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 12: don't know if they at and they were, they lose State,

582
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 12: they lose to Penn State, and I don't know if

583
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 12: they beat Iowa. I think they were tied with Iowa

584
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 12: in the four.

585
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: Interesting. Wow. So what he's arguing is that Indiana loses

586
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: those games without the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback that he

587
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: stole from Cavino and Rich.

588
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 4: So I prepared a game for us today called but

589
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 4: I argue this because Colin toward Master of the Takes.

590
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 4: We're gonna go around the room and say, okay, but

591
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 4: I argue this, and then everybody's gonna give a take.

592
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: Okay, can the callers participate or no? Is that too much?

593
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: Am I taking it too far?

594
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 4: We could take callers. You just have to start your

595
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 4: take with But I argue this.

596
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: Okay, but I can't see anything. So I is he's

597
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to introduce the callers. Oh, I got you there.

598
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: But who's gonna give their first take? And but I

599
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: argue this. We want Taylor to go, do we want

600
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: Mikey to go? Who's going first?

601
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: So I trust Mikey to start it?

602
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, okay, Well listen, I did the research with

603
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 7: Sam run the numbers, and I've looked at all of them.

604
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 7: But I argue this, if the Dodgers hadn't spent so

605
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 7: much money, they wouldn't win nearly as much.

606
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Good point.

607
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about that one, Mike, Like, if they didn't,

608
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: they wouldn't.

609
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: Those two thoughts together, right, And it's tough to argue.

610
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, who would argue with you? Nobody? It's brave, Yes, Taylor,

611
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: what's your brave take?

612
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: I want everybody to come in here with an open

613
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 4: mind when I say this, But I argue this, Ken

614
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: Griffy Junior would have hit even more home runs if

615
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 4: he had stayed healthy.

616
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: The kid.

617
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh out because that

618
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: was a heck of it. I mean, so much more

619
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: health equals so many more home runs. I never really

620
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: put that together. Yes, he is also one of my

621
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: favorite all time athletes, and it's very hard for me

622
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: to think about that without hinking about him without thinking

623
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 3: about him being unhealthy. So thank you, Taylor. That was

624
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: that was a huge take. Another one of my favorite

625
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: all time athletes is Tiger Wood. I mean, I think

626
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: a lot of people can say, right, our generation man

627
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: probably the top and who can forget the Masters two

628
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: thousand and five, the sixteenth hole, the chip in that

629
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: just I mean, probably the biggest shot in his career,

630
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: just a huge moment in a huge golf highlight. But

631
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: I argue this, if they change where they put that hole,

632
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: he never makes that shot. If that hole were anywhere

633
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: else on that green, he does not make that shot.

634
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 3: And who knows what Tiger's career looks like after that.

635
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: Have you ever thought about that, Stu Gotts?

636
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: No, I haven't, But that's actually something I could argue

637
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: with you.

638
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: You could argue with me that if the hole is

639
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 3: in a different spot and he hits the exact same shot,

640
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: that he's gonna make it.

641
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, golf's a funny game. You never know

642
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: when a pebble is gonna pop up and take the

643
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: ball in a different direction.

644
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: The entry a brilliant entry, he's at absolutely ruining it.

645
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: Let's see what Stuke got tested to offer.

646
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 8: But I argue this is ruining this.

647
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: I am. I'd argue that soccer would be more entertaining

648
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: if the teams would score more goals. About that, I

649
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: argue that that's not necessarily the case. Uh, you see

650
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: of all that we're not playing the game correctly. I

651
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: mean what we're doing here. I supported you. You're supposed

652
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: to support me.

653
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 3: You said, no, no, that's not true. The ball could

654
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: go in anyway. And I was like, you know, let's

655
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 3: do shut up.

656
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Just a pebble, you never know, pine needle. I mean,

657
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: weird things happen on the golf course. They do, Yes,

658
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: master a deal. I'm just gonna say, beach, someone would

659
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: get someone would get fired. If there was a pebble

660
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: on the green, or a pine needle that was so

661
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: big it moved the ball, someone would get fired. At

662
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: Augusta National eight seven in ninety nine on box, are

663
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: we still playing this game? I want to still that

664
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: Taylor how he thinks the game is going.

665
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: St kind of throw a wrench in.

666
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: I argued, yes I did. But that's fine. We can

667
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: go to calls here. We don't.

668
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: Let's go to Tony in Virginia because he's a very

669
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 3: reliable caller. Get back, get us back on the rails here, Tony,

670
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 3: what's going on?

671
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: Stu?

672
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 6: In my hand? I have today actually yesterday's top five

673
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 6: lists from the home offices. Turple Wall Falls, Wisconsin. Top

674
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 6: five chirpings number five, lip bomb chirp stick number number four, Yes,

675
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 6: Mexican restaurant chirp potles number number three, snack food chirps

676
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 6: yeah before number two A band chirp tricks, and number

677
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 6: one u MLB great chirper Jones.

678
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 3: About that, Yeah, I heard he was a bit of

679
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: a chirper.

680
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: That's list. I hate it. By the way, I noticed

681
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: when twelve men said chirp, you didn't have any words

682
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: for him. Huh, I mean tough guy.

683
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: So he didn't get the preamble, he did not get

684
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: the context it said. I didn't like the word, So

685
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 3: when Taylor dropped it twice in one sentence, I feel

686
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: like it was just stuck in Taylor's head so he

687
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: had to drop.

688
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: It in response.

689
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: But also further proof that this word gone too far,

690
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: Just gone too far, and like he's just gonna go

691
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: ahead and steal it from Taylor, be like, oh yeah,

692
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: people say chirping all the time. Now I want to

693
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: say it. No, no, drop the word.

694
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: Are we still playing the calling game? What are we

695
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: doing here, Taylor?

696
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 3: No, we're playing the call in game. Nathan in Lancaster, California, Yathan, Yes,

697
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: you're on Fox Sports Radio, Nathan.

698
00:33:53,480 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 13: Nate save the All Star Game. But I argue, stop thinking,

699
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 13: what if at the end of his next contract he

700
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 13: announces from here on out, I'm only signing one year

701
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 13: contracts and I'm gonna play for the eleven seed team.

702
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 13: How about that?

703
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: How about that?

704
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 3: But you know what, I think that, Nathan, thank you

705
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: for that call the gymnastics that you had to do

706
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 3: to get that call in because you didn't do that

707
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 3: in response to our game. You had that call ready

708
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 3: and then you turned it into the call in game.

709
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 3: So it was the call in game, during the call

710
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 3: in game that was masterful.

711
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: Nathan. Yes, yes, it was a great pivot. He's the

712
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: Harry Houdini of sports radio.

713
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: And let's talk about that idea, shall we. If Victor win,

714
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 3: Ben Yama is such a saint that he's gonna do

715
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: anything to save the league, including play hard and All

716
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 3: Star weekend. Why not sign one year deals with the Wizards,

717
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: one year the Jazz, another year the Blazers, and just

718
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 3: a bunch of terrible teams and say I'm going to

719
00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 3: bring these teams.

720
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: To the top. Yeah, I'd argue that Web Yama better

721
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: win a championship. I mean seriously. But I know, listen,

722
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: I know he said his legacy, he is saving the

723
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: All Star Game. But that's now, I mean, I'm talking.

724
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: That's now. I'm caught up in the moment. Is he

725
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: he better win like five rings? That guy because he's

726
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: the most dominant player I've ever seen. He is.

727
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 3: But under Nathan's situation here, under his premise, there would

728
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: be no pressure to win a championship. All you gotta

729
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 3: do is turn these terrible teams into non terrible teams.

730
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: Just put them in the playoffs, and if he ever

731
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: wins a championship in that scenario, man, it counts as

732
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: like ten.

733
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: Yes, it's like an NFL coach. It's like taking the

734
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: job with the lowest expectations. Like if you take the

735
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: Jets head coaching job and merely get to the first

736
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs or a wildcard berth, you have

737
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: done well, Rex Ryan. That's it. You are Rex Ryan,

738
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: the greatest Jets coach in the history of the New

739
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: York Jets. Do we have our calls? I do.

740
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 3: I want to take this call only because I don't

741
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: believe he is in the location that he presents himself

742
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 3: to be. Seth is in Costa Rica and wants to

743
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 3: tack lacrosse seth going on.

744
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 1: I wish I was there.

745
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 11: Hello, Hello, this is Broward Stethsman out of Costa Rica

746
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 11: right now calling on my ham radio here to cy Gots.

747
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 11: Doesn't talk any lacrosse outside of Northwestern Women. We need

748
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 11: some l We need some plo. We need to got

749
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 11: to be a champion of the game.

750
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: Because I don't want to. I mean, because I have

751
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: to be honest. I mean, I would love to talk lacrosse,

752
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: but our job is to entertain the audience, and I

753
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: don't think the audience is going to be entertained by

754
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: me talking about anything other than my daughter's playing lacrosse.

755
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: Like that's it. I think that's what makes it kind

756
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: of entertaining. Me taking you through how nervous I am

757
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: watching or play a game. They have a game tonight.

758
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: I am not here for that, though. I am here

759
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: to save Chicago for football, like I am here to

760
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: make sure the Bears do not leave, and if they

761
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: do leave, I want them to move to Costa Rica.

762
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: And not a little pl talk, little NLL talk.

763
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: From you nothing. I mean. I had Rabel on my

764
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: show as a guest. He was on for twenty minutes.

765
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: What do you want me to do? The guy started

766
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: and founded the league. You know, he's one of the

767
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: greatest ever. I can't sit here and talk about lacrosse.

768
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: You guys would kill me if I didn't by you guys,

769
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean you guys. Mikey Hey, is he a Taylor?

770
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: Would kill me if I started talking.

771
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 4: LAX big one tonight? Thought from Ryan Fieldhouse against Marquette.

772
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yes, I wouldn't say it's a big one.

773
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean, although we lost to Colorado, I'll tell you that,

774
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: so we shouldn't take any team lightly. I mean, we

775
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: did lose to Colorado. That's a team that we usually

776
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: have a running clock against. Okay, when when you get

777
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: a ten goal leader more in college lacrosse, they just

778
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: run the clock and the parents are so happy because

779
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: they're getting out of there quickly. Shit, exactly do you say?

780
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: I hate you guys.

781
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's a big one as a sentence

782
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: to guess it's probably said a few times. Nick is

783
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 3: in Kansas. What's going on?

784
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: Nick here?

785
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 3: On Fox Sports Radio?

786
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: Hello?

787
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is actually Anthony in which you're talking.

788
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: Even better, not even close. They're both in Kansas.

789
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 10: So it's all good, all right, close, But I heard

790
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 10: you guys talking about tanking, and you know, I happen

791
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 10: to try at com to do a podcast myself and

792
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 10: Mark Cuban made some remarks about.

793
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 14: Tanking, and he said the NBA doesn't have a tanking problem.

794
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 14: He said, the problem that the NBA has is a

795
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 14: fan experienced problem. And the points he made was simply this.

796
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 14: It's sad when a parent can't take their three kids

797
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 14: to a game because they can't afford it. He said,

798
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 14: the average fan that cares about their NBA team, the

799
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 14: best way to get there and to improve is by drafting, draft, capital,

800
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 14: and trade. And he says, how you do that?

801
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: Tank?

802
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 14: Of course, you got a tank to improve. In number words,

803
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 14: you have to go backwards to move forward. He would

804
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 14: know because he did it his own self. So the

805
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 14: NBA doesn't have so much.

806
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 10: Of a tanking problem.

807
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 14: They need to make it more fan freely and more

808
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 14: fan affordable. That way, you could take your dollar that

809
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 14: plays lacross to an NBA game.

810
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 10: Wouldn't it. Thanks for taking my call, I'm out.

811
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 3: You're welcome. Thank you for explaining tanking to us. We

812
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: very much appreciate it, and then throwing in the completely

813
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:29,479
Speaker 3: un like, completely unnecessary. It's also unaffordable, Like it doesn't really,

814
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 3: I think it just explained taking to us and then

815
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 3: told us that NBA is also unaffordable, giving us two

816
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: reasons not to like the sport.

817
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 4: I'd argue this, guys, the Mavericks shouldn't have traded Luca.

818
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: Wow, are were laughing?

819
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: That is how you play the game, my friend, That

820
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: is how you play the game. I totally botched it,

821
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: and I apologize. Listen, it's cold here. I'm in Chicago.

822
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: I'd argue that if you took the wind out of Chicago,

823
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: it would be thirty degrees hotter. Here it is freezing.

824
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: I am cold at that's right to bring the Bears

825
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: to South Florida
