22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: Zero week is here. But uh, you know, in politics,

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: don't worry. Now, what do you do in politics? We've

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: heard the phrase October surprise, right, every time the election

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: comes up. You know whoever is leading in the polls,

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: or maybe it's the incumbent. You hear there's an October surprise,

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: something that comes up out of nowhere that helps tilt

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: the election, that that moves the needle someplace, because here

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: comes up something that we're not expecting. The October surprise, right,

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: that's a big thing. I want to throw another phrase

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: at you here after what we're gonna talk about here,

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: and that is a September surprise. In sports, September September,

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: the Jets go eight. No, No, I'm sorry, No, that's impossibility.

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: That's a September impossibility. That's sorry, that's impossible.

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: Sorry, that's my Hey, what kind of odds can you

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: get for the Jets to run September?

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Ooh, I think in the words of our guest Todd Furman,

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: Vegas insider Smith Harmon, I'll give you anything you want

39
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: on those hots, whatever it is. But this out of

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: the NBA, According to NBA insider Jake Fish, it's made

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: a lot of headlines today. This is on Bleacher Report.

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: The Golden State Warriors have contacted the Lakers on multiple

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: occasions over the past eighteen months to express interest in

44
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: a trade for Lebron James that would pair him alongside

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Steph Curry. Okay, now, first it got reported by Adrian

46
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Walzharowski Ramona Shelburn a little over a year ago, the

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: Warriors called the Lakers about trading for James, only to

48
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: have Rich Paul tell them, hey, listen, Lebron doesn't want

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: to get dealt we're here. But now a year later

50
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: and here we are, and things have completely changed. Lebron

51
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: James is in his last year with La He is

52
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: a he is. He is shunted to the side as

53
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: the team rebuilds everything around Luka Doncic the new center

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: of their team, and Lebron is kind of standing on

55
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: the outside looking in. If it was if the Lakers

56
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: were a movie poster, instead of Lebron and Luca together

57
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: like Tango and Cash or something or step Brothers, no,

58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: it would be Luca in the middle and Lebron like

59
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: off to the side with a really mean look on

60
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: his face, like that, Hey, yeah, this is how we're

61
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: presenting the movie. Now it's a Luca it's a Lucas

62
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: special and Lebron you're at the side. Now. Would it

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: be tough for the Warriors? Yes, because the Lakers, even

64
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: though new leadership, knew lots of things happening with Mark Walter,

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: and to trade Lebron to the Warriors, to have him

66
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: come back and haunt them in the West where they

67
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: maybe could get a big run. Because look, the Warriors

68
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: clearly they you know, they need a little bit of something.

69
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: And as we said last year, getting Jimmy Butler, that

70
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: was a huge first step for the Warriors to really

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: get better, to have one more shot at a championship.

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: With Steph Curry, we said for a long time again

73
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve, he's their first job. He's their

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: first step, Right, Jimmy Butler is their first step. They

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: have one more guming and that's gonna make the team complete. Right.

76
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: We moved on from Klay Thompson, They're gonna want to

77
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: move on from Jonathan Kaminga. This probably isn't gonna be

78
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: able to happen. The Warriors could keep calling, keep calling,

79
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe just eventually hope the Lakers are like,

80
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: if we trade Lebron to you, will you stop calling

81
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: Will you stop calling me? Please? Because this is how

82
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano does trade. I was gonna say this sounds

83
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: like he continues to ask you about a trade until

84
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: finally you just say, okay, if I trade you will

85
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: you stopped at yeah, okay, you make a trade. You're like,

86
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have made that trade. I just didn't lock him, right,

87
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: But things have changed for Lebron and the while. It's

88
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for the Warriors to make this happen,

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: but you never know. You never know when Lebron if

90
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: he says he wants out right, and that's why one

91
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: reason why the story gets out now. If that's why,

92
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: if Lebron want this story is out now. If he says,

93
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: get me to Golden State, the Lakers have to say, man,

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: we could get out of this fifty two million, We

95
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: could move on. We can make a move and get

96
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: a player or two that we would rather build around

97
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: Luka Doncic with than one last gasp with Lebron until

98
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: the deadline, and maybe the Lakers say, okay, we have

99
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: to do it now. This is gonna have to be

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: Lebron saying I want out and get me to Golden state, right,

101
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: Lebron's gotta do that like he's if he wants. As

102
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: we've said any star in the NBA, if you want out,

103
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: you gotta say I want out, right. So while things

104
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: aren't it's up in the look. I'm not gonna sit

105
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: here and say it's definitely happy. But you want the

106
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: odds of a September surprise for Lebron James getting traded,

107
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them to you because this is this

108
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: is when things are gonna get to the rubber hits

109
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the road. Up until now, it's been a lot of

110
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: posturing with the Lakers and Lebron, and they know they

111
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: don't want them pass this year, and there's stories that

112
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: have gotten out about how each side feels about the rest.

113
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: All the little subtle, passive aggressive things Lebron has done

114
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: this year, video of him working out at the Clippers facility,

115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: video of him in Cleveland working out at the Cash

116
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: facility with a hat that says welcome home while he's

117
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. All these things that have gone on have

118
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: been this passive aggressive dance that the Lakers and Lebron

119
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: are doing. But September, we've seen big September deals done

120
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, right, Kyrie Irving was

121
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: one of them. This is where I see, This is

122
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: where that September surprise happens. And I know that I've

123
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: said it for ah, I still believe the September trade

124
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: of Lebron can absolutely happen. It's gonna take a big uh,

125
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a big step. Like I said, Lebron

126
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: saying I want to be traded, or the Lakers deciding Okay,

127
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna move and we can figure it out, and

128
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Cleveland's the place for him to go finish his career in.

129
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: But there's too much smoke for this not to happen.

130
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go back to what I said from

131
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: the beginning, Mike. That tells me all the way back,

132
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: like hey, Lebron's gonna get traded, is that Lebron James

133
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: has been the focal point of the NBA for twenty years.

134
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: He likes being the guy. Now he knows he's probably

135
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: not the best player in the game anymore. I think

136
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: you would have to admit, Okay, I don't think I'm

137
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: the best. I've lost that mantle, but okay, I'm still

138
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: the most influential and I'm still one of the top

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: players in the league. I Am not going to play

140
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: in a season where I am going to be shunted

141
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: to the side. And everybody every night talks about it,

142
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: talks about how Lebron is not part of the Lakers future.

143
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: It's all Luca and I'm not part of the conversation.

144
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm not the straw that stirs the drink. Is he

145
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: really gonna go through a season where Lebron is an

146
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: outsider on a team? I can't. I can't see that happening.

147
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: I can't see Lebron being, yeah, just gonna play this

148
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: year out. Other guys play years out, other guy other stars.

149
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: I understand. Gotta play this year out before Kevin Durant.

150
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: I gotta play this year out before I get traded, right.

151
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: I didn't want to move. But Lebron is not one

152
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: of those guys. Lebron is the straw that stirs the drink,

153
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and he is gonna be that way till he retires.

154
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: He's not. I can't see him going through a year where, yeah,

155
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm just treated like another guy with the Lakers. I'm

156
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. And that's why I keep coming

157
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: back to September surprise, Lebron getting traded. No, I appreciate that.

158
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: It's something you and I have talked about for a

159
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: very long time outside of the Lebron's circle of influence.

160
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: In terms of at some point, as a wide receiver,

161
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: you need to recognize you don't get separation anymore. You're

162
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: a sit down, create first downs and move forward. Hi,

163
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen, Hi and Kwon Bolden. That becomes your claim

164
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: to fame. Guys like Tara Owens, I'm still a number one. No,

165
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: you're not, Jerry Rice. I'm forty one.

166
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: Damn it.

167
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be the number one in Denver, Seattle, or

168
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 3: it's gonna kill me. Now you're cut, You're done. You're

169
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: not here anymore. Same thing here with Lebron. You might

170
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: be the most relevant, and you might get the best

171
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 3: TikTok scores and in Instagram real scores and all the

172
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: stuff you've done.

173
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: Because this was perfect. I mean, if I.

174
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: Were to have set my clock properly for a Lebron

175
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: update of some kind, I think it would have been.

176
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: Due for today.

177
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: Right we're ahead of NFL kickoff, ahead of his Week

178
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: zero of college football.

179
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: We'd gone a couple of weeks without talking about Lebron.

180
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: He needed he needed to be loved. He needed to

181
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: be loved.

182
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: It's like, what were those electronic pets that you had

183
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: to play with and feed whatever electronically or they died,

184
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: Oh they Toamagucci's or whatever the hell they were called

185
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: a touch like that and got you whatever. You understand

186
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: the point though, if if you ignored them, they died

187
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: and then you had to go back to the store

188
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: and buy another one. That's kind of what Lebron feels

189
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: like right now. Hey, nobody's playing with me. Talk about

190
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: me over here. It's like no, no, no, it's college football

191
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: and NFL time.

192
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: You don't matter right now.

193
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

194
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: And guess what, No matter where he goes to a team.

195
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: And this is where you and I differ on a

196
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: lot of this stuff. I'm not gutting my squad to

197
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 3: match up whatever dollars have to make sense to trade

198
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: for Lebron James at fifty two million dollars, because for

199
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: most teams, that's an awful lot of your rotation. That's

200
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: not one guy on an expiring deal. Because the Lakers

201
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: an't gonna do that, and they're not gonna do that

202
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 3: with with the Warriors. Part of the story that was

203
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: out there was Kaminga's been offered a two year deal.

204
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: He didn't want to do it because he thinks as

205
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: soon as he signs the contract, they're given a plane

206
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 3: ticket either to la or somewhere else. So he's out

207
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: altogether for that, right, But it's just the idea of

208
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: wherever he goes. He's got to get used to the

209
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 3: fact that he and number one, even if he goes

210
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: to Golden State, Seth might be.

211
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: The most accommodating guy in the world. Guess what. Lebron's

212
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: the hanger on that showed up at the party.

213
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's the interloper that showed up, just like

214
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant was. He might have he might win an MVP,

215
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: he might win some kind of accolades, but guess what,

216
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: it ain't your team.

217
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's in the shade of hey, you.

218
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 3: Had to go add on to try to try to

219
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: be relevant because you were mad that they liked Luca.

220
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: Come on. But it's but it's different when he's going

221
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: someplace else saying, Hey, I'm the missing piece. I'm gonna

222
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: go here and it's part of my basketball adventure. You

223
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: can spin that into where, hey, I'm okay, it's steps

224
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: to I'm just here. I'm here to be a guy

225
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: to help we can win. I want to win. He

226
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: wants to stick it to the Lakers, everything else, win

227
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: another title before he's done. And if the Warriors win,

228
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: guess who gets the credit? Lebron James does, right, because

229
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: the Warriors couldn't win till they got Lebron. But you

230
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: can't do it and and be that guy in a

231
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: place where you were the guy for so long. Now

232
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: we don't love you anymore. Right, Like, okay, if if

233
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: you were the number one son living in a house,

234
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: like you had three brothers or four brothers, and you

235
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: were always the number one, the prodigal side of it.

236
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: But then something happened. They decided, yeah, you're our fourth

237
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: most important kid. That kid's leaving the house. Man, he's

238
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: not staying around going I was number one. They took

239
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: my room away. Now I'm gonna I gotta live in

240
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: the basement, and and they're standing water. I don't want

241
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: to do any of this. Oh my good I can't

242
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: close the window, and there's all kinds of rain gutter

243
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: watch it. He can't do it where you used to

244
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: be the main express, but to go someplace else. Yeah,

245
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: that's why he can go to Cleveland and say, yes,

246
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm going home one more time. Is Donovan Mitchell. But yeah,

247
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: absolutely they have a great rotation, great offense. Absolutely, But

248
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: if the Cavaliers win, it's because of Lebron. And no

249
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: matter what, Lebron can spend it as I'm going home,

250
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: there's many places he can spend going to another location

251
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: as part of his basketball journey. And I'm the missing piece.

252
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: He's not the missing piece anymore in LA. He's a

253
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: guy that they would love for him to opt out

254
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: of his contract. The would love him to do that.

255
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: They'd love for him to say, hey, let's figure out

256
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: a buyout and I'll take X amount of dollars and

257
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: the Lakers say, great, we'll take some of that money,

258
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: will go someplace else. Like, there's a couple of different

259
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: ways for Lebron to get out, whether it's trade or

260
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: a buyout. But you know, he's got to be the

261
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: guy to step forward and say this is what I want, so,

262
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, to be able to do it someplace else. Yeah,

263
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: Lebron can spend that he left his he left his

264
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: home to go to Miami. It was Dwayne Wade's team.

265
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: He made it his team and they went to four

266
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: finals and one two of them. So he's done that before.

267
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of people would say, hey, that's what he

268
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: did before, and now he's gonna do it again at

269
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: Golden State. He's the missing piece. Yeah, he'd be a hero,

270
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: but he's not the hero in La anymore. And Lebron's

271
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: not going through a season where he's not the hero. Yeah,

272
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: it's it's it's fun theater at this point.

273
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: And now there's plenty of sick of fans in our

274
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 3: business that are, you know, just drooling over the possibility

275
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: to chronicle it, and then when it doesn't work, it's

276
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 3: not his fault.

277
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, he tried. I mean this, I mean it.

278
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Look the basketball journey, they just didn't blend with him. Yeah. Look,

279
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: and that's what look, and that's why I've said the

280
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: whole big thing is that if he winds up going

281
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: back to Cleveland is the place he goes where if

282
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't win, it will still be okay. Right, So

283
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: we've said this for a long time and it's oh,

284
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: they're the conference favorites. If they don't win it. They

285
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: don't win. Well, you know what, I had a year.

286
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: I went home and it didn't work out, but I

287
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: went home for a year, like he You can spin

288
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: it that way. You can spin that being the way

289
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: it ended, And al right, he tried, but he went

290
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: home for a year. Great. But look, the guy's got

291
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: more than one year left in the tank. I mean

292
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: to think, I mean career, the guy's over forty and

293
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: he's still playing at an incredibly high level. Man, Like,

294
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still like if he goes to Cleveland,

295
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't think this is one of those deals where hey,

296
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: he's going for justice, just like I think you go

297
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: for two or three years potentially. I mean, he'll probably

298
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: do a year by year thing or do a contract

299
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: where it's a one year with the player options playing.

300
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: But like, I don't see him being near the end,

301
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: like this year is going to be the last year

302
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: from Like, he's got two three years left. He's still

303
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: playing at a top ten overall, kind of a top ten,

304
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: top fifteen overall.

305
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: Just think about how easily he could have done whatever

358
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: My friend, did you.

359
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 3: Start, you know, just tearing up a little bit as

360
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: you started thinking about it, you know, running out of

361
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: the field that bogus notre dame logo that they put out.

362
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: No, you know what I started thinking about it. I mean,

363
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: this is not the college football needs something else. But

364
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, because they talk about how long the season is.

365
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: But man, college football goes away for so long, right,

366
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: like you know, but college it goes away for so

367
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: long because you can't really get excited about spring practice.

368
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: There is that. Yeah, you get the you know, you

369
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: get the signing period and new players, but no, even

370
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: the most lunch just to college football fans. Yeah, you

371
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: see great highlights of these kids. You don't know how

372
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna be at the next level. What they're gonna

373
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: be like college football goes away for so long. Man, again,

374
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: it makes every week just absolutely filled with gold. But man,

375
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: I'd left him to figure out a way to, you know,

376
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: make college football come back a little bit sooner and

377
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: go a little bit longer. So yeah, I mean, just

378
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: give it time once once we get to this forty

379
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: eight team playoff. Yeah, Man, SEC now is going to

380
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: do nine conference games. We talked about that a little bit,

381
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: so I mean you add that, I mean, you start

382
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: parsing it all out. It's like, oh, there's a way

383
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: we can pad an extra month in here. Pretty easy.

384
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: Joining us now in the hot line for all the

385
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: big news college Footballnews dot com Insider, Grand Pooba Editor prognosticator.

386
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: It is longtime front of the show. He is on

387
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: Twitter at Pete Futech. It is Pete Feutech. What's happening? Man,

388
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: Congratulations we made it to another season.

389
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 4: Oh man, I'm exhausted, all righty? No, how many years

390
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 4: have I been coming on this show? So you want

391
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: to know the annual rite of passage since what nineteen

392
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 4: seventy five? Ishes I think the first time I came

393
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 4: out with you guys, and just that sounds about right.

394
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: It's this idea that tomorrow, Week zero should be National

395
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 4: Day of Cupcakes, where it is FBS versus FCS schools,

396
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 4: all home games for the FBS schools. You get a

397
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 4: free game, it's on campus. You just get a free win.

398
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 4: It shouldn't be a problem. You get to tune up,

399
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 4: like you shouldn't have Texas and Ohio State going at

400
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: it in week one. You know, you shouldn't have a

401
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: Big twelve game that's as important as Kansas State and

402
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 4: ioway stay without a preseason game. You get it all

403
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: out of the way and then no more FCS games

404
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 4: after that. That should be tomorrow, when all the students

405
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: are on campus and rad to roll. That's been my proposal,

406
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 4: and someday, God willing, we were going to get this.

407
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: Pete. I'd like to say, there's I got a hole

408
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: in your in your theory, but not I mean this

409
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: is I mean, how many teams FBS teams would say, yes,

410
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: we want that one week to see what we have

411
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: and be able to make moves and have a home

412
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: game against an FCS team that we're going to destroy.

413
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: But they don't care because they're gonna get paid. I mean,

414
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: that's a great You want to talk about having a

415
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, having an idea that I can't believe everybody

416
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't agree to. That's an idea that everybody would agree to.

417
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 4: And you have again I know, because they just dropped

418
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 4: it off on campus. Everyone would go every play. It's

419
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 4: nice right now, everyone wants something to do. They're instead

420
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 4: of a soft opening with you know, games in Ireland,

421
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 4: which should not be happening. You know, just have a

422
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 4: one week just get out of the way, because they

423
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 4: to tie this into everything else you kind of mentioned. Okay, yeah,

424
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: college football off sat the season is so long, but

425
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 4: this year was particularly tough because there's no bus around

426
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: quarterbacks because there aren't any other than arch. It's the

427
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: story of the offseason. It's like still, we're about to

428
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: kick off the season in a few hours, and no

429
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 4: way that ninety nine point nine percent of all college

430
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 4: football fans can name the starting quarterback for Michigan and

431
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 4: Oregon and Notre Dame and Alabama and Ohio State. I mean,

432
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: it's just there's so many new quarterbacks this year. And

433
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 4: go back to the yourginal thought it would be nice

434
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 4: for all of them to have one game just to

435
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: get the gips out of their system.

436
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: Ready, The one thing I will say is a team

437
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: the schools FBS schools are going to say, uh, these

438
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: games will be counted towards Bowl eligibility, correct, Okay, yeah, and.

439
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 4: Then that's it, yep, And that's forligibility because instead of

440
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 4: having okay, so we're having a nine game SEC schedule,

441
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 4: So insteading of having that data against Mercer in mid November,

442
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 4: which you know I've always defended because of fine, there's

443
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 4: still a team plays the SEC team plays their SCS game,

444
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 4: you know, late in the season instead of the beginning.

445
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 4: All right, it all kind of counts the same. You

446
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 4: get them out of the way and here we go.

447
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, but we get started, we get this matters tomorrow. Look,

448
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 4: this is a real game. I mean this again. Kansas State,

449
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 4: Iowa State. Those two teams one of them was you know,

450
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: good enough to win the Big twelve championship. We're just

451
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 4: about to see you know which one it is. And

452
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 4: in such a tight weak this year, you're getting an

453
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 4: elimination game out there in Dublin right out of the gates.

454
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 3: Well, that's just said, let's start while we're at it

455
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 3: right there, three point spread Kansas State, you'reifty one total,

456
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 3: so expecting some fireworks more than just kicking for one

457
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: of these Irish traverses this year.

458
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 4: And this is where gosh, for the for the investment community,

459
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 4: this week zero week one, it's always Christmas because it's

460
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 4: if you can kind of figure it out, and then

461
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 4: if you can find an investment in an SBS versus

462
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: SBS game and just keep pumbling the SBS teams and

463
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 4: assume that it's going to end up being fifty one

464
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: to three every time out, you're gonna be all right.

465
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: So in this one though, can't just state it's a

466
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 4: little bit more experienced, you know, but Ioways State's good.

467
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 4: They lost all the receivers to the NFL. They got

468
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 4: a great running game, two good quarterbacks, and you know

469
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 4: it starts out early, especially at your time. I mean

470
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 4: I think it was at nine am kickoff in the

471
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 4: Pacific time zone. So we get this thing start right away.

472
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 4: It should be a pretty good one.

473
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I mean I got a feeling that that

474
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: zero week this is not really how they wrote it

475
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: out to be. Like I think you would probably want

476
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: some bigger schools at least getting on the on the docket.

477
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: But look, at least we have the games tomorrow, right,

478
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: like I will, we'll turn Stanford in Hawaii into something

479
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: that seems like this is a really big deal. Man,

480
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: it's heard that final game stand for Hawaii CBS and

481
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: four point thirty. You're not getting anything like this the

482
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: rest of the way.

483
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: Well, it's just call it the stoft opening is you know,

484
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: just you make sure that the drinks are cold, and

485
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 4: you know the food comes out on time, and you know,

486
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 4: light to work. You just kind of we're just gonna

487
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 4: get this thing moving a little bit. But you're right,

488
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: it's and you know, remember last year it was Florida

489
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 4: State Georgia Techtive opened the season in Ireland and Florida

490
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: State was coming off of the Act and so that

491
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 4: was kind of a big deal. And the year before

492
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 4: Notre Dame you know, was in you know, Ireland, so

493
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 4: whoopie do, and then he destroyed Navy, And the year

494
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: before that it was being Nebraska Gangoid. So you're right,

495
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 4: it's Kansas State and Iowa State aren't gonna necessarily move

496
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 4: the needle. But again, these two these were good. I mean,

497
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 4: one of these teams, and again, these are two teams

498
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 4: that could end up playing in the Big twelve Championship,

499
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 4: and they each of are good enough to potentially be

500
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: and you know what, it is now twelve team college

501
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 4: football playoffs. So it is actually what probably the best

502
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 4: matchup we've had since they started doing this Ireland thing.

503
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 4: But again, those two teams don't exactly have the national base.

504
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: I do appreciate that right now Florida State fans having

505
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 3: flashbacks as soon as you invoked memories of last year.

506
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah look, yeah, not my fault. They were bad and

507
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 4: you know, hey what twenty twenty three beat them twice, basically.

508
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: No question about.

509
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: It's called Kirk Curves Street's fault.

510
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: Well it is. Yeah, we'll we'll blame him while we're

511
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: at it.

512
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 3: The only other top twenty five team on the field

513
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 3: here in Week zero, you got Boise State on the

514
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 3: road in South Florida.

515
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: Pete. It's a sixty four for the total.

516
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 4: That's a lot of points. That's that's a little two penny,

517
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 4: but like that's actually, you know, we didn't talk about that.

518
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 4: That's a fun game too, because again we're talking about

519
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 4: you know crazy, is this sounds that we're talking about

520
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 4: this right now, but that is college football playoff implications too,

521
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 4: because you know, this is kind of it for Boise State,

522
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 4: don't have a whole lot of other games out there

523
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 4: that they can really hang their hats on. So let's

524
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: see if they can do this and down in Tampa,

525
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 4: Florida where it's not going to be necessarily cool and inviting.

526
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 4: And for UCF, who has been you know, dabbling with

527
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 4: being really good under Alex Skulish for the next last

528
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: two years, that's kind of one of those sleeper teams that,

529
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 4: all right, who's the team that's going to be the

530
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: sacrificial lamb and gets the you know, everyone gets the

531
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 4: cookie twelve spot in this playoff, Well, it might be

532
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: you see USF if everything kind of works out as planned,

533
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 4: because they've got the talent there now that they just

534
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 4: have to see if they can actually you know, get

535
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: to see going already.

536
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: College Footballnews dot COM's Pete Futech with us Jason Smith

537
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Let

538
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: me take you out of the games tomorrow to this

539
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: big story involving Arch Manning. Last week you said, listen,

540
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: you were stuck up on arch Manning stock down on Texas.

541
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: But a new book coming out, American Kings of Biography

542
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: of the Quarterback by Seth Wickersham, And we've heard a

543
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: lot about this over the course of the past few weeks,

544
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks that he's following at different levels of the game,

545
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: and a big headline that's coming out of the book.

546
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: New York Posts had it, other different websites had it

547
00:26:55,080 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: today that when Alabama was recruiting arch Manning, they use

548
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian's alcoholism that he went through in the past

549
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: to try to lure him away from Alabama. Now, Pete Golding,

550
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: who was then Alabama defensive coordinator, when he was talking

551
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: to arch Manning trying to recruit him, said Hey, I

552
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: love sark He's my best friend. I hope he can

553
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: stay sober. Like this is in a zoom call with

554
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: arch Manning where they're talking about schematics and culture, and

555
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: then said, I love sark He's my best friend. I

556
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: hope he can stay sober. What was your reaction when

557
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: you saw this story.

558
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: Oh, it's fair in love and recruiting and just it's

559
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 4: you know, this is this is you know the game

560
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not pretty. It is just everyone will

561
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 4: say everything, everyone will try everything. And this is where,

562
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 4: you know, in the case, this s wascific case is

563
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 4: a little bit different because if you're if you're negative

564
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 4: recruiting like that, and every since the beginning of football recruiting,

565
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 4: there's always been negative recruiting. This is ugly obviously, it's

566
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: not you know, you know, I say stuff like that,

567
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 4: but uh, there's always been some sort of negative recruiting

568
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 4: of some sort. And if you can find anything, hopefully

569
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 4: not like this, that you can use against uh, someone

570
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 4: who might take your guy away, well yeah, you're probably

571
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 4: gonna use it. The difference here being the is it's

572
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: the Mannings, and they they did about as thorough as certainty.

573
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 4: No one knows the infrastructure of football more than the

574
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 4: entire Manning family. So if the problem with that is okay,

575
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 4: even if he's you know, even by saying this, you

576
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: got to believe that the Mannings vetted Sarkisian every which

577
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 4: way before making this call, and they specifically went there

578
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 4: because they wanted him to be the guy who tutored

579
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 4: this tutored this kid.

580
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: All right, Pete, let me go one more legal Leese,

581
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: go back to my alma mater just down the road

582
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: from you. Pat Fitzgerald and the settlement with Northwestern, their

583
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: long letter to say, hey, we found nothing to connect

584
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: him directly to any of this. Uh can can they

585
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 3: get him back on campus for the new stadium in Evanston?

586
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: Or is he taken over for uh Ole Kirk in

587
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Iowa at some point?

588
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know that he was an interesting situation before

589
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: because you know, if you took this out of the equation, uh,

590
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: he wasn't exactly rocking. You know, the Northwestern was okay,

591
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: I mean obviously pulled off a couple of miraculous seasons

592
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 4: here and there, but it was, you know this, he

593
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: wasn't actually doing a great job on the field and

594
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 4: win the losses when this all came down. So uh yeah,

595
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 4: I've always kind of thought too that he I'm kind

596
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: of shocked that he hasn't been you know, done the

597
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 4: you know, the coordinator thing somewhere where. Uh you know,

598
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: you can name the coach and you know, any sort

599
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: of scandal, whether you know, curves out fine for him

600
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: or not, and that coach will end up being a

601
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 4: defensive courtetor let's go back to Sarkegian. You know after

602
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: the USC thing, what did he do? He was you

603
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: know the you know back under Saban, you know the

604
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 4: low level plea for you under Saban staff where you're

605
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 4: sitting in the back and you just kind of take

606
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 4: notes stuff and you just kind of work your way

607
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: back up into all of a sudden everyone remembers, Oh, yeah,

608
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: you're a great coach. I'm kind of surprised that since

609
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 4: Cherald hasn't done that to just keep it keep you know,

610
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 4: keep his legs going. But yeah, I kind of think

611
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,760

Speaker 1: Welcome home Buddy. Great stuff from Pete Futech right there.

628
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: I love that idea, fbs FCS week one. That's an

629
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: awesome ida. It's it's getting a practice game without getting

630
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: a practice game. It's getting a win when you I

631
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: mean that what that That should appeal to everybody. That

632
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal idea. Well, and they all get their

633
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: couple hundred thousand dollars buy ins to help fuel the program,

634
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: and they get it early.

635
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: The the SEC thing I disagree with, Pete. I've always

636
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: hated that coming at the end of the year. Here's

637
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 3: a bye week before a rivalry game to end the

638
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: SEC schedule. But you know, however it comes out in

639
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: the wash, I guess folks have been happy enough with it.

640
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, this would certainly solve a lot of issues.

641
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 3: And we get a.

642
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:51,200

643
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: wide world of sports. With someone who's been called the

644
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,560

Speaker 1: If you're trying to take a bobblehead out of her hand,

647
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: she gives you that stiff arm. You are not getting.

648
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 6: It, absolutely, but that is the best trophy. That's the

649
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 6: one I would if I could just, you know, pick

650
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 6: a trophy to win that I didn't earn, it would

651
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 6: be the Heisman.

652
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

653
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: Oh, very okay, very good.

654
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,120

708
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,640

709
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: center field, Padres fans breathing a sigh of relief. He

710
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: almost got it, uh but one out top of the

711
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: ninth inning, Padres looking to get a measure of revenge

712
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: against otying the Dodgers for last week. And we'll have

713
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: more in this game coming up in a few minutes.

714
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes you think, well, we're not gonna

715
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: get drama in a game where no stars are playing,

716
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: where the biggest story is, is Joe Milton really any good?

717
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: Oh?

718
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: No, no no. The poker game that has been going

719
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: on with Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons and really Michaeh

720
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: Parsons agent where each side keeps raising the other until

721
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: one of them says that's it, I'm done, and that

722
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: means either Micah Parsons demands a trade and leaves Cowboys

723
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: camp or Jerry Jones says I'm giving you money or

724
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm trading you. The latest step was taken not too

725
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: long ago, a picture that has started to go viral

726
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: this after the last couple of days where Jerry Jones

727
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: has gone on the pr offensive about Micah Parsons contract

728
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: situation where he said we had an offer and his

729
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: agent told us to stick it up our blank. And

730
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: today he does an interview and he talks about how

731
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't have time for craziness going on and everybody's

732
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: gotta be happy. There's no room for Michaeh Parson's agent

733
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 1: and everything going on, like Jerry's going on the big

734
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: media blitz this week. Okay, Michaeh Parson decided to see

735
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones's media blitz and raise you me looking like

736
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: I am sleeping on the sideline of the game against

737
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: the Falcons tonight. Now it's tough to see if he

738
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: actually is sleeping, but he's laying on a table with

739
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: his eyes closed, his hand over his eyes, like, Okay,

740
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: you want to say this stuff about me, I'll show

741
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: you I really don't want to be here right like

742
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 1: and again for everybody who says this is gonna work

743
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: out and Jerry's gonna give Michaeh Parsons his money, it's

744
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: never been antagonistic at all ever between Jerry and the

745
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: players that he's eventually paid. Has it been business? Yeah,

746
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: Ezekiel all it holding out? That's business, right, Dak Why

747
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: that's business. It's never been antagonistic. This is as antagonistic

748
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: and combative as you could possibly get with Jerry Jones,

749
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons and his agent and with every day it's

750
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: getting worse and worse, and the optics get more and

751
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: more ridiculous. Tell me how this is gonna end with

752
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: Michah Parsons getting paid. Tell me if I know, Jerry

753
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: Jones is talking big saying no trade, no anything. But

754
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: eventually Michah Parsons he's gonna leave camp and Jerry Jones

755
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: is not gonna have him. He's not gonna be ready

756
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: to start the season, and he's gonna trade him someplace

757
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: else where. Michaeh Parsons will get paid. That's how, as

758
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: April Lavine taught us in Skater Boy, That's how the

759
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: story ends. Wow, you're trying to quote Skater Boy? Why

760
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: out here?

761
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 4: All right?

762
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 3: So Michael Parsons declined to comment leaving the stadium John

763
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 3: Bachota on Twitter. Trevon Diggs stepped up to answer questions,

764
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 3: will micap practice next week?

765
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: Quote. I don't know. His back is kind of tight.

766
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: He had to get an MRI today. I don't know.

767
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 3: So other than him coming out and saying, you know,

768
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: they they didn't provide me with the proper uh, you know,

769
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: lumbar support on the sideline, I think he just lost

770
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 3: a bit. Michaeh Parts lost a lot of the good

771
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: will he might have been building with fans of the team.

772
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 3: Maybe not teammates, but certainly fans of the team, going, really,

773
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 3: this is how we're gonna respond. They'd rather sit there

774
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 3: for four hours and do a podcast, uh and air

775
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 3: him out then then do this This This is just childlike.

776
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Yeah?

777
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 3: Like this was just and now he's he's been put

778
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 3: in the middle, so like this, mom and dad are fighting,

779
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 3: and then Mike is just gonna sit there and lay

780
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: down and hold his breath.

781
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, back to that again, well versus

782
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. Oh see, I thought you're going back to

783
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: him laying on the table where it looks like he

784
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: could be laying on the table holding his breath instead

785
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: of sleeping. No, but that's just it. I'm holding my breath.

786
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: La la la la la. But no, but that just

787
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: but that didn't get what I want. So now now

788
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm here. That shows you how bad of a situation

789
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: this is. That this is where we're at. We're at

790
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: the ridiculous part of this where Jerry Jones is saying

791
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: crazy stuff every day, cursing in every interview he does.

792
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: And here's Micah Parsons unfollowing the Cowboys on social media

793
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: falling asleep back the gain. Honestly, I can't believe Parsons

794
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: is still with the Cowboys. He would get all that

795
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: money back.

796
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 3: The way the deal works at this point is he

797
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: would get the fifty thousand dollars a day. So the

798
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 3: fact that he's been around looking like he wants to

799
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 3: be on the field at every time until he decided

800
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: to sleep today, Aprentice during a preseason game.

801
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: This is a long week, man, I'm exhausted, all right,

802
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get some rest here.

803
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: By the way, we always knew Jerry worked Blues, so

804
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: it's good to see that he's finally just letting it fly.

805
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah again, tell me how this ends? Okay, tell me

806
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: how this ends? Okay?

807
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 4: With you?

808
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: With Jerry Jones and Michah Parson Again, it's never been

809
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: this bed with Jerry and anybody. There have been insults

810
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: like there is now never been. Keep your aging out

811
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: of it. There's the only room for two of us

812
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: in this negotiation. And guess what your age is not

813
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: one of them. I mean, tell me, tell me where

814
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: this ends? Well, I mean, I don't I fail to

815
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: see where this ends well, and it doesn't end with

816
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons eventually on a different team. I like the

817
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: chaos factor that comes in because we've talked about.

818
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 3: It a lot with you know, Jerry out of spite,

819
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 3: could just be that guy to say, you know what,

820
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 3: I principle, I'm just not I'm not training him because

821
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 3: doing that.

822
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: I could see him for a little while. But then

823
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: he will do it. It will become such a it

824
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: will become such a distraction story. He will do it

825
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: knowing full well he's never gonna play for us again.

826
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: Because you'll get the same thing for Parsons in season,

827
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: you'll get out of season. You'll get the same thing

828
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: because he's a young player that you got a sign

829
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: to be so you'll still get that big haul for

830
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: him in the middle of the season. You'll still get

831
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: that then, and you might get him for some of

832
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: this year. Ye know, he's just he just gets the quarterback.

833
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Jon just pays the money. Can I make it

834
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: anymore obvious? Big stuff out of the NFL Next Fox
