19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: putting this content out for you every single night. Really,

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: just to think about how the Lakers lose to the

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Suns who are missing their top two scores and j. J.

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: Reddick wants to say Laker loss, which they're just louder

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: than every other loss in the league.

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: Oh oh, okay, got it, got it, got it?

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Because that's what we should be paying attention to, is

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: the fact that people pay more attention to your losses,

27
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: not the fact that here's a team that's healthy with us,

28
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: that should be rolling through now this part of the schedule,

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: and Lucas scores forty and you still find a way

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: to lose to the Suns. Let's focus on the louder

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: part of it. That's right, that's what we should.

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: Do well, just project outwardly. It can't possibly be his fault.

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: Can't possibly be the lack of the excellence of execution.

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: To steal from Brett hart hear, you add opportunities open looks,

35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: and you're missing consistently. You're losing too mediocre teams, And

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the object in the rear view

37
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: mirror got closer, because suddenly the Suns, after tonight's win,

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: one game behind the Lakers in the standings to come

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: and take that six seed from them. And suddenly a

40
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: season that we were talking about the last couple of

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 4: weeks of hey, they're interesting reads, gets healthy. You don't

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: have to be great on defense, but maybe a little

43
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: bit more activity with the youth. And here we are

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: and they're just sputtering down the stretch.

45
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: Doing the krusty the clown. Don't blame me, I didn't

46
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: do it. Strategy.

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: Hey, it's louder when we lose, Yeah, because people boo

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: a bit more vociperously when you announce you're gonna raise

49
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: ticket prices fifteen to twenty five percent. You're losing consistently,

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: and Lebron James continues to take a lot of the

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: oxygen out of the room. All of that works. That

52
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: and a lot of people just have a liking problem

53
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: with you.

54
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: That's all though. But that's all the problem. That's it.

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: There's no other problems other than that, no other problems.

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: Now, I do want to say this because you know,

57
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this a lot tonight.

58
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: And okay, maybe in a big.

59
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: Meme that's going around now from the NFL combine today,

60
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: maybe Aaron Glenn real he was asleep watching the combine

61
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: all right. Now, I want to put it out there

62
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: that he was simply looking down at something. But the

63
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: more I look at it, I feel like, Okay, he's

64
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: on screen and it looks like he's sleeping and someone

65
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: texted him, Hey, dude, wake up, you're on camera.

66
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: Oh hey, I'm up. I'm up.

67
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, I get that. It's a bad optic

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: for the Jets. Right, it's a really bad optic for

69
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: a guy even though he's coming off an A grade

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: on the NFL report cards. Right, what you're gonna get

71
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: to in a minute, he's coming over. The guy's three

72
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: and fourteen and he got an A grade like the

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: other coaches. He got a higher grade than Mike McDonald

74
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: who won the Super Bowl.

75
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: Right like this, Aaron.

76
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: Glenn getting an A. And this is such a horrible optic.

77
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: And and you know what makes it worse, Mike this

78
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: because really, because this is no one, no one's getting

79
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: take getting this into account. He's falling asleep, or it

80
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: looks like he's sleeping. When David Bailey is getting ready

81
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: to run his forty yard dash, the guy who is

82
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: in the mix to be the number two overall pick

83
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: in the draft. It's not like, hey, I've seen a

84
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: bunch of guys, go I don't need these are third, fourth,

85
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: fifth rounders. We're gonna rely are scouting for this. I

86
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: get a little bit of shut out here closing. No, no, no,

87
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: he's falling with David Bailey, who is blowing the doors

88
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: off of everybody at the NFL Draft, and maybe he

89
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: goes number two. It's probably gonna be him or Rvel

90
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Reese to the Jets at two. This is when he's

91
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: falling asleep right before it's forty yard.

92
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: To be fair, he knows that that'll be played in perpetuity,

93
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: not him falling asleep, but Bailey running his forty so

94
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: he'll be able to go back and look at the footage,

95
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: you know, by it's hard. When you're losing, you fire everybody,

96
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 4: you get the stay of execution. Now you're the rep there,

97
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: live and living collar when so many coaches don't show

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 4: up to the combine or send some fragment of their

99
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: offensive or defensive staff, and here we are.

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: I mean, really, I feel like I would not have

101
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: said this a day ago, but I'm like, I want

102
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: to go back to when the worst video was him dancing,

103
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: you know, at the at the end of the game,

104
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: when when it was still in doubt and he was

105
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: dancing because they had a lead, Like I want to

106
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: go I want to go back to those days. Those

107
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: were the days that was just yesterday.

108
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 4: What did you teach Zoe, Yes, she's growing up. I

109
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: taught my daughters. I mean, you gotta dance like nobody's watching, right,

110
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 4: Celebrate your wins, even if they're fleeting.

111
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: Sleep like nobody's got a camera on you. Dance like

112
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: nobody's watching.

113
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: But like when he danced up and down the sideline,

114
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 4: that was the high point for the season at that point, right,

115
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, celebrate the hell out of it. It's not

116
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: his fault. His team then fell apart. We couldn't go

117
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 4: out and make that tackle again. Maybe he should have.

118
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: Maybe you should have gone to Mike tom Win tripping

119
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 4: or something kind of violation. But yeah, just day one,

120
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 4: Sonny styles a five point forty from a big man

121
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: and Aaron Glenn falling asleep.

122
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: I really I want to go back to yesterday. Man,

123
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: I went, I didn't think it get any worse, but

124
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: here it does.

125
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: Uh now, speaking of things getting better and worse, right,

126
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: it was a couple of weeks ago the NFL and

127
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: owners and felt they won a big round with the

128
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: players and the fans and the media because oh, we're

129
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: no longer going to get the published version of the

130
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: NFLPA report card something that we look forward to so

131
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: much in the offseason, and it has been four years

132
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: now we've been doing this where NFL players guaranteed anonymity,

133
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: weigh in on different things regarding their team, from how

134
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: they feel about their coaches, to how they feel about

135
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: their locker rooms, how they feel about the playing field,

136
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: to how they feel about things like the training room

137
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: or the lunch room or childcare or travel. Everybody weighs

138
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: in and you find out what teams, Hey, that's a

139
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: pretty good organization.

140
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: They do it right. And boy, that team's really bad.

141
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: They do it poorly. Oh, we're not gonna get it.

142
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: Whatody Johnson the Jets, Hey, I want to stop this

143
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: from getting out there. And surprise, whatdy Johnson actually did

144
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: get bad grades this year. The number one team, the

145
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, highest grades across the board, which is both.

146
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: Good and bad.

147
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: The worst team in the NFL, the Steelers, bad grades

148
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: across the board. Now, we haven't gotten the I would

149
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: say the details we normally get, but we get a

150
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: little bit of things when it comes to the Steelers,

151
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: and for the Steelers, some things that are thrown out

152
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: there when and Mike Harmon's going to talk about why

153
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: he agrees with Art Rooney holding money back from making

154
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers better. One of the things the players really

155
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: didn't like was that there's only five bathrooms in the

156
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: locker room. Five for a bunch of for over fifty

157
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: men who are all big dudes, right, there's only.

158
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: Five five stalls available.

159
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: In the bathroom for them to use. So you have

160
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: guys waiting in line to use the bathroom. And look,

161
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: it's like, just think about this when you It's like,

162
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: if you're going shopping and you have to use a

163
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: public restroom, how would you feel if you're going to

164
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: go in there after like five dudes who are like

165
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty to three hundred and thirty pounds

166
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: go in there, You're like, man, it's gonna be warm

167
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: in here.

168
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: The seat's gonna be warm.

169
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: I don't want.

170
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I do how do you not

171
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: have more bathrooms available?

172
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: Like?

173
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like, how do you not have more bathrooms

174
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: available for your players to use?

175
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems the old rule of thumb. If things

176
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: are working, ie, your team is successful and they're hungry,

177
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: and they still and maybe and maybe you just become

178
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: that common enemy. It's not necessarily the team across the field.

179
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 4: It's you as an ownership group. Because of the things

180
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: you're not giving them, the creature comforts. They stay hungry,

181
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: they stay ticked off, and they stay ready and they

182
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 4: win games. Why would I change it? Well, yeah, okay,

183
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: so cause if they get fat and happy and suddenly

184
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: I'm a four and thirteen team, oh man, I have

185
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 4: to fire a coach faster than two decades. I mean,

186
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 4: come on, dude, this is not Filet Mignon at the

187
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: training table.

188
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: This is having a bathroom, fat and happy.

189
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm fat and happy because I got so many stalls

190
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: I can choose from.

191
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 4: I can get rol mice and dices, and I can die.

192
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: Dude, my local target has more stalls in the bathroom

193
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: than the ben the Steelers have.

194
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 3: Like, how do you not have more bathrooms available?

195
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: I bet you with all the shoplifting and shrinkage going on,

196
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: they don't want all those bathrooms either. It's significant drinking

197
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: grocery stores spaces. Well, for those unaware, it did tie

198
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 4: back to Seinfeld, but in this case it was the use.

199
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: I just find it interesting that you, and in wearing

200
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: a hat as an owner, want to come at it

201
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: from the ankle of I don't need to do more

202
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: for my players. Why would I want to do that?

203
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: Why would I want to keep all my money? My

204
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: name is Ebeneezer Harman. I'm going to keep all my

205
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: catch man. I'm not going to worry about them. Why

206
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: why would like you understand that this is this reflects

207
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: poorly on the team and may reflect poorly in free agency,

208
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: and poorly because players talk to each.

209
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: Other, Hey, what's it like there? What's this?

210
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: But you're still okay with Hey, I don't need to

211
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: fix it. We're winning nine games a year. We're going

212
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: to the platform.

213
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: I'm not saying they shouldn't, but I'm saying I understand,

214
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: saying I understand like it's a facility change. You gotta

215
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 4: decide you want to invest that money. We've had this

216
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 4: conversation baseball right lockout maybe looming based on you got

217
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 4: the Dodgers and their spend and what they put back

218
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: on the field versus the Yankees and what they spend

219
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 4: versus what they put back on the field, and then

220
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: the teams at the bottom that spend nothing. Well, the

221
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: Steelers make a ton of money. Small, small ish market

222
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: on a relative basis, in the National Football League, but

223
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 4: still one of the leaders and historic franchises, a lot

224
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 4: of money, a lot of revenue flowing in. So yeah,

225
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: should they okay, put it to a vote, I'd say yeah,

226
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: But if the ownership group is happy with the results

227
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 4: on the field and the players only doing this by

228
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: virtue of the anonymous survey versus coming back and hey,

229
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: you know this, this precluded me from coming and signing here,

230
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: which money is the same, Maybe, maybe not. I don't

231
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 4: know what the tax situation is there in Pennsylvania. Uh,

232
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: in terms of their money's there and and the quality

233
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: of life and everything else, Uh seems nice. Uh La

234
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: Trobe is really nice for a training camp. I love

235
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 4: Saint Vincent. That was good time. But all of that

236
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: to say, putting that money back into the facilities, yes,

237
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 4: it would seem to behoove you. But when you have

238
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 4: that level of success they've had, would that make them

239
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 4: go around further in the playoffs? No, So if you're

240
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: the ownership group, it's like, wait, I'm gonna get great results.

241
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: We're gonna fill out a roster that's pretty good year

242
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: after year, and I can keep that money. I think

243
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: you're gonna find a lot of people would probably sign

244
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 4: with you. I'm gonna keep that money.

245
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: Well, let me let me, let me, let me throw

246
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: this at you right as you continue to want to

247
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: back billion and our owners who are not going to

248
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: give you a penny of any cash they have.

249
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 4: Uh was I looking for? I'm also the guy that

250
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: pays full price for my tickets. So whenever we have

251
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 4: those arguments, I laugh at those two.

252
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: You know, you know what helps teams is getting the

253
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: better players, right, That helps you win games. And if

254
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: you have a free agent with players who talk to

255
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: each other. This boy, I got two teams I'm thinking of.

256
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: I have the Dolphins and I have the Steelers. Well,

257
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: hey man, I'll call my buddy with the Dolphins. Oh man, dude,

258
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: things are great here, man, are you kidding? We at

259
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: all kinds of perks, and they treat us great. The

260
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: field is awesome, the food is great. They take care

261
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: of your kids, have childcare at the stadium. It's fantastic.

262
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. And then you call your buddy the

263
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: Steelers and goes, oh man, there's only five bathrooms, the

264
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: food is bad, the travel is terrible.

265
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 3: Why would I go there if?

266
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: If it's equal and I'm getting paid to either place,

267
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: why would I go to the Steelers. So that good

268
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: free agent that can help you win games is going

269
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: to go someplace else. It behooves you to want to

270
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: treat players well because the bottom line is affected by

271
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: bottom line, I mean winning.

272
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: I like that the best player. I like that.

273
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: You just used the Dolphins as your example. So you've failed.

274
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 6: That's the whole thing about the dolphinsailed because they also

275
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 6: had the income tax advantage. Yeah, is that listen, listen

276
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 6: the Dolphins is to fail by succeeding, because that that

277
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 6: you know, to get away from the Steelers.

278
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: In your backing of the of the either.

279
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: You fat and happy down in head is.

280
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: Miami is number one. And this is how you again,

281
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: how you lose by winning. Is that you would think

282
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins would be terrific at the top, top marks

283
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: for everything, and not only not only do they stink,

284
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: they're starting over. They could be worse than the Jets. Okay,

285
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: this is the Dolphins have all of these advantages and

286
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: they and they ranked number one across the board. Great day, right,

287
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: great day for the Dolphins, but they stink and they're

288
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna eat one hundred million dollars with their quarterback.

289
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: Probably this year they're starting over, new head coach knew everything.

290
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna be in contention for the number one pick

291
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: in the draft next year like that. That's where like, man,

292
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers, I can understand if they start losing because

293
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: they're not gonna get players because people don't want that

294
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: life experience. But man, the Dolphins seem to have everything

295
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: and they stink. And this is this is only the

296
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 1: last four years, this is the last. This is the

297
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel era, where hey, we're gonna set the world

298
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: on fire and we stink. Like wow, Man, that's that's

299
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: losing by winning if I've ever seen it.

300
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: Well, But it also just gets into the larger conversation

301
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: about teammates, team chemistry, coaching staff, you know, and what

302
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: you're weighing, you know, the opportunity to win. We're told

303
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 4: all the time how much and how hungry everybody is

304
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: to win. Well, if that's the case, then the Steelers

305
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 4: remain on your radar even if they fail. Now, what

306
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: was curious to me in this survey is they say

307
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: it was over eighty percent of the players actually participated.

308
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 4: That is a huge number, especially in contrast, you know,

309
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: to the more important survey of hey, what do you

310
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: want to vote on the CBA?

311
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: Well, this is something that's pretty easy to vote on.

312
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: This isn't they'll get to the CBA.

313
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: No, no, no, But the can participation there. Talk to anybody

314
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: that's been in those rooms, they always tell you, Yeah,

315
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 4: getting convincing guys that you know they have to really

316
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 4: participate and be part of the process is very difficult,

317
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: whereas here I don't have enough bathrooms. I'll vote on that.

318
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like, man, I feel like people know

319
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: more about that.

320
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: How many players do you think really know the ins

321
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: and the outs of the CBA. They're told by that.

322
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: That's why each team has a rep. They're told by theirs.

323
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: This is what we're fighting for, this is what we want.

324
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: We're trying to make it easy on you.

325
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: It's just like, but you have advisors, you have lawyers,

326
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: you have a lot of things where you can get

327
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: more information if you want to get it.

328
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: But it is difficult and you rely on people to

329
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: tell you because hey, this is a little complicated for me.

330
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: What is it?

331
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Because it's just like, it's just like when all of

332
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: us go to vote, and it's like, Okay, you know,

333
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: do I know a lot about this, about what's going

334
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: on here all the prop voting? You know, I know

335
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: more about the national I know more about where my

336
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: local scene is. But there's certain things like I don't

337
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: know a lot, And I try to do enough research

338
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: as I can, but sometimes I need I need to

339
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: be to get a little bit of a bottom line

340
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: for me so I understand where I'm going, where I'm voting.

341
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the same thing, right the players want

342
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: to be to listen, we're gonna vote. But I'm not

343
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: as up on it as I should be, just because

344
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff is big, right, A lot of

345
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: stuff I don't get because it's something that is is

346
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm not immersed in it every day like I'm immersed

347
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: in when I go to work what my day to

348
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: day life is. I know what my day to day

349
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: to life is when I show up and I know

350
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: what the food is like, I know what the field

351
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: is like, I know what the locker room is like.

352
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: I know if I'm getting taken care of. I know

353
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: if I'm not getting taken care of every day when

354
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: it comes to voting on stuff like this, it's once

355
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: every few years. It's like, Okay, now I gotta I

356
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: gotta brush up on it and get ready for it.

357
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: So I kind of get where the players. Hey, I'm

358
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: more in tune to voting for this because I'm dealing

359
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: with this every day, whereas you know, hey, something like

360
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: the CBA where we're voting every feel okay, I need

361
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: to get in on that. Like I said, it's just

362
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: like all of us and we have to brush up

363
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: on voting before we go to do it.

364
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: I appreciate the correlation, but let's be honest. Most folks

365
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: go in and punch down one side or the other

366
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: and move on if they voted, all the participation being

367
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 4: as low. The bigger thing I'd be concerned about is

368
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 4: the home game, field and things of that nature. That

369
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 4: become bigger issues in terms of availability to play as

370
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 4: opposed to, you know, standing in line for a bathroom.

371
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, who will make you stand in

372
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: line for the bathroom no matter when you need to go,

373
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: He will make sure you wait until you're good and

374
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: ready to go. Now, can't just go in and go

375
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: to the bathroom anytime, Gotta wait, wait, gotta want it well,

376
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: let's get fifty three of them on Mike Harmon's team

Speaker 3: It is Charlotte Radio Network on the call.

420
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: I like how he said new it like in the

421
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: WWE when someone would win and and it would be

422
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: and the new World Wrestling Entertainment Heavyweight Champion of the World.

423
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: He kind of said that, you know, borrowing from how

424
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: that used to be.

425
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: I kind of stealing from a little Howard Finkel back

426
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 4: in the day. I mean, come on in if you

427

428
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 4: But kan Ka Nipple just having himself a ridiculous season

429
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: and Charlotte on a bit of a surge here in

430
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks surrounding the All Star break.

431
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and I gotta be honest, is that you

432
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: see the year he's having. I don't think anybody expected

433
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: him to have this kind of year his first year

434
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: out of Duke. Right, number four overall pick. But yeah,

435
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: this is how the draft goes. Now where, Eh, maybe

436
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: a top four guy is gonna be good. Maybe it's

437
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: gonna take him three years, you know who knows. But

438
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: with every plaudit and achievement that we get from Kon Knepple,

439
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: who's averaging nearly twenty a game and five rebounds and

440
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: four assists, right, and every plaudit and achievement that we

441
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: get from Cooper Flagg, who looks like he's every bit

442
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: the generational player that we expect him to be. I

443
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: go back, and I go how the hell did Duke

444
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: not win the national title last year?

445
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: How did they lose to Houston? How did they not

446
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: win it all?

447
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: With these two guys who didn't just come into the

448
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: NBA and as rookies and find their way. Hey, these

449
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: guys are pretty good a they No, these guys are

450
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: coming in and playing dominant basketball, where a year ago

451
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: at this time they couldn't get to the National Championship game. Like,

452
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: I don't understand how John Shire or a Duke didn't

453
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: win it all with these two. Like you could talk

454
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: about recruiting all you want right and say, look at

455
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: all these guys, look at all these McDonald's, all Americans

456
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: that were getting Oh, this is fantastic, and then you get.

457
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 3: To the tournament and you go, dude, how did you

458
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: not win?

459
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: You had a you had every single thing you could

460
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: possibly need, like Shire had everything he needed last year.

461
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: Nope, can't win it all. Don't know how that happened.

462
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 4: Couldn't in a field goal final three to zero three

463
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: on the clock, one of the final nine from the

464
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 4: floor as the Cougars came back from a fourteen points

465
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 4: second half deficit for the win three point victory.

466
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 3: What an epic fail that is for such.

467
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: A combined four points.

468
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: Joey, don't look, We're gonna revisit this at the NFL

469
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: Draft when Ohio State has five guys taken in the

470
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: top twenty. It's gonna be How did you forget about

471
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: the National Championship. How did you guys not even win

472
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: the Big Ten? How did you lose to Indiana? Indiana

473
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: doesn't even have all these guys going in the draft,

474
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: but they have the one.

475
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: Number one counts.

476
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have the.

477
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: Number one pick, but you got you got five guys

478
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: going in the top twenty and you couldn't even win

479
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: the Big Ten.

480
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 4: Do you show up with a bunch of pictures of

481
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 4: uh Signetti?

482
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah? Or you just show up with a bunch

483
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 3: of Chipotle orders.

484
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: Well, that's not bad. Hair coach Signetti said, congratulations on

485
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 4: getting drafted in the top twenty. Maybe this tastes better

486
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 4: than the els.

487
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of the NFL draft right the combine going

488
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: on right now, the first day that we've had players

489
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: actually out there working out, you see some guys who

490
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: are the big risers so far. Sunny Styles potentially has

491
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: worked his way out from being a top fifteen player

492
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: into a top seven player. It could be rvl Reese

493
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: going number two overall, could be Vid Bailey going number

494
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: two overall, who had an incredible day. So all of

495
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're seeing guys rise. The big draft rumor

496
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: of the day, we saw Anthony Richardson right, big headline

497
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: early today, I was coming out of Indianapolis. Has been

498
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: given the okay to seek a trade away from the Colts. Now,

499
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: it was just a few years ago. He's a number

500
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: three overall pick. Everybody loved him, loved the intangibles, loved

501
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: everything he was able to do. He can leap thirty

502
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: five feet in the air. Anthony Richardson, He's only played

503
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: thirteen games, doesn't matter. Look at what he can jump.

504
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: But here's where things have changed in the last year,

505
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: so much so where I can now get excited about

506
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: trading for Anthony Richardson. I can get excited about Kyler

507
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: Murray or Malik Willis or Derek Carr coming back who

508
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: I know is coming back and the Jets are going

509
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: to get him. I can get excited about these guys

510
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: because Sam Darnald won the bleep in Super Bowl. Okay,

511
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: you go back to to you know, go back to

512
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: two years ago where Sam Darnald was was gonna back

513
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: up JJ McCarthy in Minnesota. He was never gonna start again.

514
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: He couldn't get it done with the Jets. He couldn't

515
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: get it done with the Panthers. He was a backup

516
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers. He jumped over to the

517
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: to the Vikings to be a backup. He was never

518
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: going to start again. It's not like, well, he was

519
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: looking for his next chance.

520
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: He was done.

521
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: He had been given his opportunity and he couldn't get

522
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: it done. And now on a team that's not even

523
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: an all time great team where you can say, hey,

524
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: they carried him to the super Bowl. This wasn't Trent Dilfer,

525
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: you know, winning with the two thousand Ravens defense. Right,

526
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: This wasn't hey, Jim McMahon. It was just an okay

527
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: quarterback riding right in that defense of the eighty five Bears. Right,

528
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: this is not like the Seahawks are an all time

529
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: great team in the NFL. This is a it's a

530
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: bridge year where hey, the good teams were hurt, they

531
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: got knocked out of the playoffs.

532
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: It's gonna in ten.

533
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: Years, we're going back and go remember that year. It

534
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: was the Seahawks and the Patriots and the Super Bowl. Man,

535
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: that was weird, Right, that's the but he wins, and

536
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: not only does he win, he's the reason why they won.

537
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: So I can get excited about almost anybody, and I

538
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: can get to the point where I I don't even

539
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: hate Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins.

540
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 3: Not that i'd like them.

541
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like them, but I get to the point

542
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: where I wouldn't hate having them as much as I

543
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: would have a year ago. Because Donald winning the Super

544
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: Bowl changes everything for so many people. I could get

545
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: excited about training for TUA because there's clearly there is

546
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: a system for everybody and all of these guys.

547
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 3: Even though Richard hasn't had the reps.

548
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: Hey, maybe the team, maybe the team that he goes to,

549
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: that team's gonna be able to unlock all his potential.

550
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 7: Right.

551
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 1: Maybe Derek Carr is gonna be able to be right

552
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: back in in the right system and be seamless right.

553
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: Maybe Kyler Murray needs a change of scenery.

554
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: Maybe Milik Willis is that good.

555
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, he's gonna get paid thirty million dollars for a

556
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: game and a half worth of work. I could get

557
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: excited about these guys because if Donald can do it,

558
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: and he was at the bottom of his NFL career

559
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: where I'm just gonna back up and bounce around the

560
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: league until I retire, anybody can win. I can get

561
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: excited about almost anybody. Anthony Richardson, Derek Carr, I guess

562
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: I about all these guys, Mike Carmen.

563
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is the curiosity coming into this next season.

564
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 4: Who can be per Sam and be that next guy.

565
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: The Malik Willis point that you make is really perhaps

566
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 4: the most fascinating of the offseason. Forget about what these

567
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 4: guys do at the combine, forget about the domino effect

568
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 4: of Tua and Kyler Murray, whatever, Malik Willis. You can

569
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 4: say that things were just wrong in Tennessee. Fine, he

570
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 4: goes to Green Bay, runs around for a couple of games,

571
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 4: and he played well. Right, big plays, big movement, latterly

572
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 4: in the pocket. To the fact that that smallest sample size,

573
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 4: much like the thirteen games that Anthony Richardson played as

574
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 4: a college quarterback, is going to make him a thirty

575
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: million dollars a year quarterback, when you just saw what

576
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 4: he was as a starter, that it takes that little

577
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 4: amount of film to say, okay, let's get after it.

578
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 4: Because I remind you the Bears, while opportunistic, that defense

579
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: was not good. They generated a lot of turnovers.

580
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: They were good.

581
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: They take a lot of yards at points, taking the

582
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 4: football right, and they gave up twenty six points game

583
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 4: and a lot of yards. But all of that to

584
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: say for this next round, whether it's Richardson going into

585
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: the trademarket, I know, the clip of him hugging Kevin

586
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 4: O'Connell and getting you know, an Ada boy and and

587
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 4: we love you and I still believe in you, and

588
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 4: the kind of a hype speech after a game circulated,

589
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 4: and maybe that becomes it him versus JJ McCarthy. You

590
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 4: want to talk about delicious theater, go get me one

591
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: of those new scream popcorn buckets or something. I'll kick

592
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 4: back with that in a nice diet cola and watch

593
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 4: that unfold. Give me that instead of, you know, a

594
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 4: replay of games from last year. Give me that battle

595
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 4: in the classroom and on the field. But the fact

596
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 4: that guys do get second, third, fourth chances to rise up,

597
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 4: and Sam helped a lot of guys at a lot

598
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 4: of people are are gonna need to maybe send some

599
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 4: gift baskets his way or a percentage of their future

600
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: earnings based on what he's able to do for these quarterbacks.

601
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 4: Geno Smith to a lesser extent before him, But.

602
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 3: Just think back to this point, a year ago.

603
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: If at this point a year ago the free agent

604
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks were the same Kyler Murray, Malik Willis, Derek Carr

605
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: to or guys who were available in trade rats he

606
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 1: just want to move on from you would say, yeah, man,

607
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't want any of those guys. I've seen two

608
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: has had his chance in Miami. No good right, Derek Carr,

609
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: he's done. Malik Willis, who knows he had He had

610
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: a little bit of a chance, but he didn't really flash. No,

611
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: don't want him. Kyler Murray not really thrilled. I've seen

612
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: his best. But now a year later, suddenly it's changed.

613
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 4: It's just and the one guy you can really pushing

614
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 4: out of all of them's the guy you didn't name him,

615
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: and that's Mac Jones. He is under contract. But yeah,

616
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 4: it's a cheap tract.

617
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: Any free agent that's out there now, it doesn't matter

618
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: how bad the free agent classes in the NFL teams.

619
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: Now it's now it's glass half full rather than glass

620
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: half empty a year ago.

621
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: Is good.

622
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks don't make it to free agency anymore. They don't

623
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: make it to free agency. They don't do it. You know,

624
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: don't worry why even worried about a quarterback unless you're

625
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: getting a backup or you need somebody to start for

626
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: a few games until the guy you take early in

627
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: the draft that is ready does no quarterbacks hit free

628
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: agency now every quarter Now all quarterbacks hit free agency,

629
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: and there's five or six guys. You got to do

630
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: your homework. You got to find the right system, make

631
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: sure your system works for this guy. But that can happen, man.

632
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Sam Darnold has changed the NFL in a

633
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: year with what he has done.

634
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're right, guy should maybe give him a

635
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: little bit of money because now at thirty million a year,

636
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: he's underpaid. Right, Well, guy's making more money than say

637
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: wait a minute, wait a minute, now he's under Now

638
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: he's underpaid.

639
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 4: I've seen what he's getting on the autograph circuit. He's

640
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 4: gonna make up a couple million this offseason before it's

641
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 4: all said and done. But the last point too, and right,

642
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 4: it also plays back into what we've seen the evolution

643
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 4: of the quarterback position. Once upon a time, we called

644
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: him either the Magnificent seven or the the you know,

645
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 4: fantastic nine, or whatever line you want to throw with

646
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 4: it is you basically had seven to nine guys that

647
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 4: got through a season on skin. It was usually the Mannings,

648
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 4: Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees for a spell, and

649
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 4: then it would cycle out with a couple other guys.

650
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: Matt Ryan usually in there as well. Otherwise you're cycling

651
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: through sixty five guys through a touchdown pass this year.

652
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 4: Now that includes a few wide receivers and running backs

653
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 4: and getting cute. But the point is, as we continue

654
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 4: to extend the season, we're at seventeen games. That eighteenth

655
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: game is imminent. You're gonna need that backup, and you're

656
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 4: gonna want to push to make sure that it's not

657
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 4: just okay, he's serviceable. No, no, no, You're gonna need

658
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 4: somebody who's good that you believe you can make a

659
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 4: true starting equivalent like the forty nine ers have with

660
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 4: Mac Jones there right now, is all right if he

661
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: has to come in because Perdy's hurt, we don't lose

662
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 4: anything versus most teams that are still in the boy,

663
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: we gotta really slug it out. Hey, defense, you can

664
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 4: hold down to twenty, right, right, guys, because that's as

665
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: far as you can hope for the ceiling on a

666
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 4: lot of these offenses. So yeah, the change of the

667
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 4: quarterback position immense these last two three years. And Super

668
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 4: Sam kicks it up on a whole other level.

669
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit, swollen domeing. More coming

670
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: up in ninety seconds. But time now to find out

671
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: what's trending in the wide world of sports. So someone

678
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 5: was not a Clipper. He was a Portland trailblazer and

679
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 5: he didn't he didn't think I knew who he was,

680
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 5: you know, like he probably didn't get a lot of

681
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 5: especially at the time when he was a Portland trailblazer.

682
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 5: And I literally went up to him. I took him around,

683
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 5: but early on in the day in front of his wife,

684
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 5: and I was like, you should come to the Clippers,

Speaker 5: and they both looked at me and they said, we're trying, trying,

686
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 5: And then he ended up with the Comers.

687
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: Did you guys reconnect yet?

688
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,880

Speaker 2: Nice piece for the Clippers.

701
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 5: The Clippers could have used a couple of points from

702
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 5: him tonight, though they were shorthanded already. No Kawhi Leonard,

703
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 5: no John Collins still know Darius Garland. The Timberwolves were

704
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 5: able to beat the Clippers. It was really close until

705
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 5: the end when it wasn't. Minnesota won it ninety four

706
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,480

Speaker 5: of his bench with two clippers in his face and

709
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 5: it was just all neck. The shorthanded Sons did pull

710
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 5: off the upset against the Lakers one thirteen to one ten.

711
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 5: Despite forty one points from Luka Doncic, it was roy

Speaker 5: second on the clock. Grayson Allen, off the bench, had

714
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,920

00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant dropped forty points to go along with eight rebounds.

718
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: You guys just talked about it. The Hornets did roll

719
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 5: past the Pacers one thirty three to one oh nine.

720
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 5: Con Kinneble broke the record for the most threes made

721
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 5: by a rookie. He's made two hundred and seven threes

722
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 5: in only fifty nine games. Tonight, he made eight threes

723
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 5: and ended with twenty eight points. The seventy six ers

724
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 5: held on one twenty four to one to seventeen against

725
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 5: the heat Tyres. Maxy had twenty eight points on eleven rebounds.

726
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 5: He actually had twenty points in.

727
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: The first quarter alone and they got really cold.

728
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 5: Ended with twenty eight points, but he did pass Allen

729
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 5: Iverson for the most May threes in franchise history. Iverson

730
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 5: had eight hundred and eighty five. The Spurs keep on winning.

731
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 5: They won eleven in a row. They defeated the Nets

732
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 5: one twenty six to one. Ten seven players ended in

733
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 5: double digits for San Antonio. Other games in the NBA,

734
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 5: Hawks took down the Wizards one twenty six ninety six.

735
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 5: Trailblazers topped the Bulls one twenty one to one. Twelve.

736
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,560

739
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 5: have they not won since January? Oh man, that's rough.

740
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: Kings out scored the Matticks one thirty to I wrote twelve.

741
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 5: That can't be it, but I'm sure it was close

742
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 5: to that. Uh though. In women's college shops, I know

743
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 5: that's not right.

744
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 4: I gotta get the right answer because it's got it.

745
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 5: But they did win, so that's what matters there. They

746
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 5: were probably trying not to win. In women's college hoops,

747
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 5: yu Con stayed undefeated at thirty to zero after defeating

752
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 5: player in Division One history to reach one thousand assists.

776
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 5: teams in the East. I just thought I was going

777
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 5: to see the same four.

778
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: They're not there, like back to the future. Four not happening, happening,

779
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: Thank you, Monsie.

780
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: Coming up next, who should go number two overall in

781
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft? Who are gonna be some big quarterback

782
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: risers in the combine?

783
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: We got that for you.

784
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: Next, Jason to Mike Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Radio,

785
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.

786
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: Shark or something. So the NFL combined in full swing.

787
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: Finally, players are there running four yard dashes verts everything.

788
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 4: How fast can I get around that ring where I

789
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 4: got to pick up the sock and throw the sock down?

790
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? I know, I liked I liked the ring. The

791
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 3: ring is pretty good. Yeah, it'd be cool.

792
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 4: It was on fire.

793
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: My favorite though, is is like just watching somebody do

794
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: a drill and seeing the social media post so and

795
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: so is gonna be a problem because because because they

796
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: can they can move laterally really well and shorts, Oh,

797
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a problem.

798
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 4: A few guys that struggled with the two step left

799
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 4: and right, so they might not be as problematic.

800
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 3: Grade.

801
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: Now, look some of the big things we've talked about tonight,

802
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: we talked about the number two overall pick in the draft.

803
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: What's becoming clearer today is it looks like the Jets

804
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: are gonna choose between Rville Reese and David Bailey at

805
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: number two and edge rusher, especially after they make that

806
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: trade today trading away Jermaine Johnson. I'd go with Caleb

807
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: Downs number two. He's the no matter who I am,

808
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: he's the best player in the draft. He said today,

809
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: He's the best defensive player. He's the best player in

810
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: the draft. He can be an all time great NFL player.

811
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: The only knock that he has is ah he can

812
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: be a little too aggressive sometimes at the line of

813
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: scrimmage to make a play. Oh really, that that that's

814
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: you're worried about. Really, you're worried about the serious everything else.

815
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: The guy can do. I've seen this guy play for

816
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. He's incredible.

817
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: I think he's someone that sees the game better than

818
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: everybody around him, and that's why he's aggressive making plays

819
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: near the line of scrimmage. I've not seen plays where, hey,

820
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: Caleb Downs is out of position and so a team

821
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: gets a thirty five yard gain.

822
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 3: I have not seen that.

823
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: If I'm going number two, I'm going Caleb Downs. He's

824
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: going to be a modern day Rod Woodson. He's the

825
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: guy at two.

826
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: But you know, what do I know? But I'll be

827
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 3: proven right in the long run. I'm fine.

828
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 4: Look at you put that bone prediction out. Start going

829
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 4: to your betting odds, which we've seen certainly off the

830
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 4: jump with Bailey and Reese. Reese the favorite minus one

831
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 4: h five, Bailey behind him plus one thirty, Baine at

832
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 4: plus four fifty, Caleb Downs coming in at plus forty

833
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 4: five hundred for that number two slot. So you want to,

834
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 4: you know, go back the long shot that Smith's given you.

835
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 4: You go through you know, the over aggressiveness some of it.

836
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 4: I wonder about scheme and the players around you. Well,

837
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 4: you can be a little bolder when you know you've

838
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 4: got a really good unit and and a defensive uh

839
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 4: front that's gonna get after the quarterback and make the

840
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 4: clock get accelerated. But he is pound for pound. I

841
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 4: mean it's in the tape, right you watched it in

842
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 4: Big ten football, Big time moments. I know you like

843
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 4: to joke about, well, why didn't you win it again?

844
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 4: With all the guys that are gonna get drafted, which

845
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 4: is kind of funny, But I understand the if you

846
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 4: can move latterly, you got the forty speed to where

847
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: you're talking about the defensive front and the front seven,

848
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 4: especially as you keep changing the complexion of offenses to

849
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 4: where the dump off and tight end and flanker screens

850
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 4: and and and the running backs out of the backfield.

851
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 4: Look at the number of receptions that maybe you need

852
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 4: the guy up front, and that's where you're playing to

853
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 4: right now.

854
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: And as far as bain.

855
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: Goes are, they're worried about myster I can't pay full three.

856
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, thirty versus the thirty three big deal.

857
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: He may be falling in the draft but you want

858
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that could be rising. Look, we

859
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: talked last night. I got a couple of quarterbacks. Drew

860
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: Aller clearly is gonna be that guy. People will fall

861
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: in love with him. Remember why they liked him as

862
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: a potential first round.

863
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 4: Here, Rich Orenberger get to you or LaVar Arrington by guy.

864
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: Gimme Carson Beck and Diego Pavia as big risers. These

865
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: guys can do a lot to themselves of the combine.

866
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: Carson Beck his experience, his intangibles. Teams are gonna trust him.

867
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: Pavia is gonna be not every team's cup of tea,

868
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be enough teams cup of tea when

869
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: they meet and talk to him at the combine. So

870
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: give me Beck and Pavio's two guys that can.

871
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 4: Leap up and pointing over at Kyler Murray and folks going,

872
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 4: can he grow.

873
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 3: During the combine?

874
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 4: Oh? Not fair?

875
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 3: Not fair, that's reality, not fair.

876
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,400
