1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up fire, fam, 2 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Wednesday at December seventh. Unbelievably. 3 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: This is the first morning I've woken up in about 4 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: three weeks and there isn't walter Wall soccer all morning 5 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: to get me through the lunch period out here in 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: l A. Unbelievable. The World Cup has been so good. 7 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: I have been loving every minute of it. Games have 8 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: been incredible. The Spain upset yesterday, I mean I think 9 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: we even I think I might have mentioned it yesterday, 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: Like listen, there hasn't been an upset. Keep an eye 11 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: on Morocco. I didn't think they pull it off. But 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: that was that was just a great, great penalty kick victory. 13 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: And it really was the highlight of the sports day 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: because not a lot went down yesterday. Yes, we had 15 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: the Baker Mayfield landing with the Rams. I just don't 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: know that that moves the needle much other than the 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: Rams saying, hey, we're not tanking because we don't have 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: our own draft pick. And at this point, I mean 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, they saying he may play this week. I 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: can't imagine if he would pass Bryce Perkins in the rotation, 21 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: not barely knowing the playbook. Um, if anything, Sean McVeigh 22 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: can help Baker Mayfield restore whatever dignity he had as 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback, because folks, he's at rock bottom, like 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: we were talking last month, Like I would not be 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: surprised if he was not in the league next year. 26 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: That's how far he's fallen. Like is he built to 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: be a backup and hold the clipboard quietly? Or is 28 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: he gonna want to compete for a job. I don't 29 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: know where he could compete for a job. In Houston, 30 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: Texans maybe, like if they don't take a quarterback number 31 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: one and they say, hey, we're just gonna let's give 32 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: Davis Mills just one more chance and and tank for 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams or or the kid um Drake. Maybe. By 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: the way, he is the brother of Luke may anybody 35 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: remember him? College basketball fans, North Carolina tar Heels hit 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: a like a buzzer beater to beat Kentucky in a 37 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: really good n c A tournament game. I think it 38 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: was an Elite eight game. Um. I don't know if 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: he made the NBA, but he had a good run 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: at UNC might have want a title, but there there's 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: a couple of good quarterbacks coming out next year. But yeah, 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. Baker Mayfield to the Rams doesn't really 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: excite me. This is one of these weird days. So 44 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: there's no World Cup. You've got a lot of hot 45 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: and heavy baseball speculation that I don't know that I believe. Ordinarily, 46 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't really care about MLB hot stove right now. 47 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm more interested in the college football transfer portal. I'm 48 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: want to go Rob G's u c l A. Bruins 49 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: are gonna do a quarterback dt R. He's probably gonna 50 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: go the NFL. I think he's an NFL quarterback. I 51 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: don't think he's an early round pick. But with him leaving, 52 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: there's a huge void at quarterback. Chip Kelly's not gonna 53 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: want to bring in some freshman, you know. The move 54 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: is bring in some twenty two year old who's ready 55 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: to go firing on all cylinders. And there's a lot 56 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 1: of good ones out there. Kid from Wake Forest, You've 57 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: got Um, the kid from NC State Leary, You've got 58 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: Hudson Card. I think Notre Dame probably gets their first pick, 59 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: and then after that you trickle on down, but like 60 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: the Baseball hot Stove just doesn't really do it for me. 61 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: And I confess when I talked to Rob G, who 62 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: we haven't really talked to in the pod in a minute, 63 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: and he's just so busy, and you know, and now 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: he's a super producer. He's doing the odd couple. He's 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: spending weekends doing crazy stuff. It's like he's like he's 66 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: a young single guy again, except he's married with a 67 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: kid and going to Disney World, and you know, we 68 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: gotta talk about his Raiders. I know he wants to 69 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: talk about the Lakers. So instead of like bring on 70 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: a guest and talk about something topical, I thought Rob 71 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: G and I would just chop it up um for 72 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. The audience likes when we just riff 73 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: on whatever. I mean. I like to needle Rob G 74 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: for some of his teams. But we haven't really spoken 75 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: since the Raiders have surged, since the Lakers have surged. 76 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: And I do have a new TV show that my 77 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: kids and I and the wife just got into that 78 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if Rob's watching, and I'm gonna just 79 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: float it.

And now you guys 169 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: are on a three game I think three game wins, 170 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: three games and realistically a chance to run the table 171 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But that is the weird thing. 172 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: You start looking at these schedules and all of a 173 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: sudden it's like, oh, nobody in the league can cover 174 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: Davante Adams. Josh Jacobs is now, you know one of 175 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: the Is he leading the league in rushing? I think 176 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: right there, I think he is. And and this offense 177 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: I jut down stats. You know this because I just 178 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: reading stuff all the time, trying to find anything for gambling. 179 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: How's this stuff for a staff for you? Wait? Let 180 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: me let me find it here. So Josh Jacobs, uh, 181 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs in the Raiders offense in the first I 182 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: think it was nine games, they had one one game 183 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: with four hundred yards of offense. They now have three 184 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: straight games with four hundred yards of offense. What I 185 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: want to know is, and I haven't seen the answer, 186 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: what the hell happened? A switch just flipped? Because they 187 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: don't have refro, they don't have the tight end waller. 188 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: The offensive line didn't suddenly get good. Is it just 189 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: a matter of the opponents. I know the Seattle defense 190 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: stinks and the Chargers defense stinks, but all of a sudden, 191 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: their defense, not the defense. The offense is just on fire, 192 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they look like a juggernaut. 193 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: What's going on? Well, what's funny is that all of 194 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: this kind of switch was flipped following that loss to 195 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: the Jeff Saturday led Indianapolis Colts, which was unbelievably embarrassing, 196 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: so much so that Derek Carr was crying at the 197 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: podium in the post game about how much it hurt 198 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: him and to see guys like giving maximum effort. So 199 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: where they lucked out is the week immediately after that 200 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: they get the hapless Denver Broncos, which they needed overtime 201 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: to win that game. It's not like they went in 202 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: there and pounded Denver, which pretty much everybody does these 203 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: days because they have the worst offense in football. They 204 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: squeak by them and suddenly they discover, hey, you know 205 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: what we have, In my opinion, the best wide receiver 206 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: in football, Josh Jacob is running like a man possessed 207 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: in a contract year. We don't have to do a 208 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: whole lot of things, to a lot of exotic things. 209 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: We don't have to be the smartest guys in the 210 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: room anymore, Josh McDaniels. We can run the ball, play action, 211 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: get it to Davante Adams. We can run the ball, 212 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: quick hit Davante Adams. We can flee flicker had the 213 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: ball goes back to their car, just so we can 214 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: get it back to Davanta Adams like they're they're they're 215 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: doing what you would expect the team to do when 216 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: you have players of that caliber. Look, it doesn't matter 217 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: how you get them the ball, it doesn't matter what 218 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: you call, how you dress it up. Just get him 219 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: the down ball and let them figure out the rest 220 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: froom there. The defense has been okay, they got you know, 221 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: two good defenders, basically Max Crosby, and then whoever else 222 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: shows up that week, maybe Denzel Perman, but really it's 223 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: been their offense. And then now you look at it 224 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: their schedule. They get the Rams this week on Thursday 225 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: night as third string quarterback for the it sounds like 226 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: Bryce Perkins is gonna be together. And you know Adam 227 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: Schefter reporting on Tuesday afternoon that you know, maybe Baker 228 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: Mayfield might get some snaps. I don't think that's gonna happen. 229 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: But if they do, that's just another reason why you 230 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: should win that game, because he shouldn't be playing. Then 231 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: you get an extended I guess, a mini by because 232 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: they don't play again for the ten days. They get 233 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: the Patriots at home, who have been uneven. I guess 234 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: would be the way to describe the way that they've 235 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: been playing this season. I don't. I don't think their 236 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: offense is anything to write home about. Bill Belichicks getting 237 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: asked about making a coaching change or or a coordinator change, 238 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: because not Patricia is obviously not the right guy. Get 239 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: the Steelers, who are not very good at all, even 240 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: though I know that they're right there in the playoff haste, 241 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: they closed with the Niners in the chiefs. The Niners, 242 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: who we've you've talked about in the last couple of days. 243 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: They have Mr Irrelevant at quarterback, and the Chiefs could 244 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: have the conference sewn up by week eight teen. No, 245 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: but they could not. Like it's out of the realm 246 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: of possibility. So it's like, are you would you really 247 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: be that's shocked. Then if they ended up running the 248 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: table there, well, I mean they would have to pass 249 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: the Chargers, which is certainly doable. Um did they sweep 250 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: the Chargers? Okay? Um, so they would have to pass 251 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: the Chargers. They would have to pass the Jets. And 252 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: before you Scoff and l Mike White and all this stuff, 253 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: I just need to point out the Jets schedule down 254 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: the stretch does include Detroit Jacksonville. Now Detroit is surging, 255 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is I don't know, every week they're like good 256 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: or terrible, who knows. At Seattle, I still don't think 257 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: Seattle is great. And then Miami and two so Jets 258 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: are gonna be battling for that spot. I think the 259 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: Ravens could fade if this Lamar Jackson stuff, Like, think 260 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: about it, Rob, if you're Lamar Jackson, your team is 261 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: banged up to high. Hell, your top receiver's gone. Mark 262 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: Andrews is playing banged up Gus Gus the bus Edwards 263 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: can't stay healthy like Ronnie Stanley down like it's just 264 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: it's ugly and they can't move the ball. The defense 265 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: is hit and miss. If you're Lamar, you're playing for 266 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: a contract. Are you really going out there and busting 267 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: your hump as a one man show? Uh down the stretch? 268 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: Are you? I don't. I don't know. This weekend is 269 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: going to be real telling if Huntley loses to the Steelers. 270 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: It's just like, I don't know if does does Lamar 271 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: really have incentive to come back quickly? He hasn't been 272 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: great this year, but I don't think it impacts his contract, 273 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: do you? Oh? I mean I think that he's dug 274 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: himself such a hole this season. We've talked about it 275 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: briefly that I don't know if there's anything he could 276 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: do if he's not a which is not going to be. 277 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: If he says to come back this season, he's going 278 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: to be, you know, a fact simile of himself. I 279 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: don't think there's anything he could do that would really 280 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: raise his stock from where it is right now. Like 281 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: he came into the season looking for the fully guaranteed 282 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: bag and then he has a great first like two 283 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: or three weeks, and then since then he hasn't really 284 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: been great. I don't think he's been even good, really 285 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: relative to what you'd expect from someone of his caliber. 286 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: So if he comes back and he's not a percent, 287 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: I don't anticipate seeing him get back to that week 288 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: one week to Lamar Jackson where he convinces them to 289 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: change their mind and give him the fully guaranteed deal. 290 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: I think that ship is completely sailed. I think it's 291 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't even think he's gonna get a long term 292 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: deal because her, and then he'll be franchise tagged again 293 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: and then he'll leave like her cousins. Yeah, I mean 294 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: I can't foresee him staying. So that that's one interesting 295 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: stubplot that Jimmy G News. Now. Everybody thought initially it 296 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: was a list frank out for the year done. Then 297 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: they I guess they had a second m R I 298 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: or a second opinion, and all of a sudden, it's like, 299 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: wait a minute, it's not that bad. He could be 300 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: back in seven or eight weeks. Seven or eight weeks 301 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: lines up basically with the NFC Championship game, almost like perfectly. 302 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: Um the question is can brock Purty keep them afloat 303 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship Game. I actually don't think it's crazy, 304 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: and we talked I talked about on the pod yesterday 305 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: with uh the instances of Nick Foles and Jeff hoss 306 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: Stetler way back in the late eighties early nineties. It 307 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: can be done if you have an awesome, awesome defense. Now, 308 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: the Eagles did not have an incredible defense. They had 309 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: a good coach in Peterson, and they had great skill 310 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: position players where it was like a bunch of good receivers, 311 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of good running backs, really good tight end, 312 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: nobody great for Niners are great everywhere with Deebo and 313 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Kittle. I don't know Rob. Initially I was like, well, 314 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: they can't win the Super Bowl. Now I don't If 315 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: they can get to the Super Bowl, does Jimmy g 316 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: come back just for the Bills or Bengals or Chiefs. 317 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: It would be a good story. And I was looking 318 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: into some brock Purty stuff. Um, this is interesting. At 319 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: Iowa State, where he was a four year starter, he 320 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: was a good deep ball passer, thirty touchdowns. Somebody football 321 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: outsiders pulled the stats, like he wasn't showing much against Miami. 322 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: There's a chance he comes out and surprises some people like, 323 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: oh he can go deep to Brandon Aiyuk. Okay, this 324 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: is something we didn't anticipate, So I would not be 325 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: shocked if Shanahan pulled uping off here. This is the 326 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: guy who wanted a lot of games with Nick Mullins 327 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: like San Francisco. To me, is definitely not done rob Um. 328 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: But I did kind of want to pivot briefly to 329 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: the NBA as Rob is Um Mr Los Angeles Lakers 330 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: watches all the games, and I did predict this rob 331 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: with the World Cup. It's like it's very difficult to 332 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: watch sports all the morning, all the morning, and then 333 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: at night watch sports two seven days a week, mixing 334 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: in college football in the NFL. So I have kind 335 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: of sort of punted on the NBA for the last 336 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: two weeks, not totally punted, because I do call up 337 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: scoreboard and just sim skim through it. I am checking 338 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: on certain rookies and future bets that I have. Ben 339 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: matherin Um, I don't know why Paolo ben Caro had 340 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: missed so many games. Maybe you can fill me in 341 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: but I did notice the Lakers were surging. Fox Sports 342 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 343 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot 344 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app. Search f 345 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: s R to listen live as my dog Buddy barks 346 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: up a store. I have noticed, Rob, that the Lakers 347 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: are surging. And yes, it coincides with the Lakers beating 348 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: up on a bunch of bad teams. Okay, they did 349 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: beat the Bucks. That's obviously a really nice win. But 350 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: I I started to look at the NBA a little 351 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: bit more last night. Obviously Dallas had a really nice win. 352 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: The Warriors can't seem to get out of their own way. 353 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they're still hovering around five hundred here at 354 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: like the we're past the quarter mark right games in Like, 355 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with the Warriors. It 356 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: is bleak. But the weird thing is nobody's really good, Rob, 357 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: I look at the standings in the West, I'm like, Okay, 358 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: somehow Phoenix is playing really well. Um, who the hell 359 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: else is good? And I'm looking at the standings and 360 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: I'm like, nobody's pulling away, which has actually helped the Lakers. 361 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: I know they're still not top eight, but this is 362 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: a long way to go. And I just I want 363 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: to check in with you, Rob on your thoughts on 364 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, at ten and thirteen, after the loss of 365 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: the Cabs last night, you know, there's still only five 366 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: and a half back of the number one seed. There's 367 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: a massive log jam. I mean there's injuries everywhere. Called 368 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: Anthony Towns is down for a while. Minnesota, they just 369 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 1: don't look right. Damian Lillard has been in and out 370 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: of lineup. Quam sorry not Kwame Kawhi. Leonard plays seemingly 371 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: whenever he wants my Sacramento Kings fourth in the West, 372 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: thirteen and nine? How about that run? Rob? But I 373 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: need to ask you, are you of the belief there? 374 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: There's two lines of thought. Number one Anthony Davis playing 375 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: out of his mind, motivated by all this Should they 376 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: trade a d talk and a lot of people will 377 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: scoff at that and say, no, guys, trust me, Anthony Davis, 378 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: here's all this stuff. He knows it. Okay, Russell Westbrook 379 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: has been motivated by this stuff. These players have rabbit ears, 380 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: especially the guys on social media. Okay, it's impossible not 381 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: to in l a so A. Davis is motivated by 382 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: all the trade talk and playing out of his mind. 383 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: B the Indiana Pacers have a new kid surging. Their 384 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: their fifth in the East. It won't last, but their 385 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: fifth in the East Andrew Nemhard. So they've got all 386 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: these good young players, Buddy Healed and Miles Turner or 387 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: if if anything holding back these young players, they were 388 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: thinking about tanking the Pacers. I don't know that that's 389 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: possible now. Orlando's terrible. Detroit is very bad, Charlotte is 390 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: very bad. The Bulls are cratering. I think the Lakers. 391 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: I know, I know everybody wants to rip him, but 392 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: the GM of the Lakers, the front office held off 393 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: making the trade and giving up the draft picks, and 394 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, I don't think they'd have 395 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: to part with them, and they actually have flexibility now 396 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: that the Lakers have turned around the ship. And frankly, 397 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that Miles Turner and and Buddy Healed 398 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: is the best deal. A couple of weeks ago you 399 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: had mentioned the Chicago Bulls. Well, they are really struggling, 400 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: and you gotta wonder do they consider making a move. 401 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: I'm telling you the San Antonio Spurs want web Bin Yama. 402 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: They do not have the worst record. They will be 403 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: giving off anyone with a pulse here in the next 404 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: month or two. And I know that pivotal December A, December, 405 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: December twelve, whatever the day, is where guys who signed 406 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: contracts are the trade. So it could get interesting here 407 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: in the coming weeks. Your thoughts robbing the Lakers as 408 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: they win eight of ten, well eight of ten heading 409 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: into uh last night's loss, which we're not gonna count 410 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: against because they d only played like four minutes and 411 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: then he got ruled out with a flu bug, which 412 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: is unfortunate considering how much he'd been dominant, you know, 413 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I'm just gonna say that 414 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: I deserve a round of applause from America from Jason 415 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: McIntyre because I told you before the season Lakers twenty 416 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: two to one and win the championship, and then I 417 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 1: told you again like three weeks later at eighty to one. 418 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: I say, this is like stealing money at this point. 419 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:44,239 Speaker 1: So okay, in all seriousness, Um, they're they're better than 420 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought they were going 421 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: to be. I mean, I kind of expected that they 422 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: would be contenders this season, only because I didn't expect 423 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: the roster that they have now to be who they 424 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: ultimately end up having come playoff time. And Dave mcmenham 425 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: in who's been on this show, Zach Low, who I 426 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: believe contractually cannot be on this show, but he's still 427 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: a friend of our We like, we like his work 428 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: over the ESPN. They said on their most recent podcast, 429 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: I think it was Lows podcast, that the Lakers are 430 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: not just in the let's trade Russell Westbrook and those 431 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: two picks line of thought, which is what whenever we 432 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: were talking about going back to last season. They're of 433 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: the belief right now that Russ is playing well enough 434 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: as a sixth man, we know what it's going to 435 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: cost to get off of his contract, which is probably 436 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: both of those first round picks. Maybe we can do 437 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: something smaller with Pat Bab's expiring deal, Kendrick Nunn's expiring deal, 438 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: and maybe a couple of seconds or highly protected one 439 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: of those first round picks and get Kyle Kuzma Washington 440 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: from Charlotte, but Danovitch from Detroit, and suddenly, if you 441 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: work the jigsaw a certain way, there is a realistic 442 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: scenario where the Lakers end up with the big wing 443 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: that they're looking for, whether it's Coup's, Washington, Bogdanovitch, whoever, 444 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: picked whatever guy you get, and still have Russ plus 445 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: those picks, where if you really wanted to make the 446 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: Indiana deal that's been sitting there since this summer, you 447 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: could and suddenly the Lakers, who were what the worst 448 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: team in NBA history through the first twelve games, like 449 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: they couldn't shoot for anything, they were too and ten 450 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: You mean to tell me that a lineup featuring Miles Turner, 451 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, Lebron, James, Buddy Healed, and Bogdanovich is not 452 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: scaring the daylights out of anybody in the Western Conference 453 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: right now, I love the exuberance, scaring the daylight. You 454 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: don't think that? So wait, and all you'd have to 455 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: do would be with part with did you at Kendrick 456 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: Nun Kendrick Nuns expiring, Pat Bev's expiring, Russell Westos expiring, 457 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: and a couple of picks. So coming off the bench, 458 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: you're left, I don't I'm keeping Lonnie Walker as a starter. 459 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying, well whatever, But like I suddenly that is 460 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: arguably the deepest team in the Western Conference. Oh right, 461 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: let's suddenly because because Patrick Beverley is giving you absolutely nothing. Yeah, 462 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Kendrick Night is giving you absolutely nothing. He is a business. 463 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook is solid as a sixth man. But at 464 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: forty seven million dollars, you can get that kind of 465 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: production for a mid level Well what about Austin Reeves? 466 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: Is he the is he one of the best? Is 467 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: he the next Alex Cruiso? Oh he's better than Alex Cruso. 468 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: Oh he doesn't defend, like no, but he he's a 469 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: much better offensive player and he defends well, it looks 470 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: like he is fifth and Lakers in scoring. Yeah he 471 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: up until up until a few days ago, he was 472 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: a guy. Yeah he's down at thirty eight percent. Oh 473 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: my gosh, he throws you right. Yeah, listen, Austin Reeves 474 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: is getting buckets. The dude is good. Um let me 475 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: just ask you though, uh, like Joel Embiid hurt, James 476 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: Harden hurt, Like have you paid attention to the East 477 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: at all? Like, who's the best team in the league now? 478 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: Because I know Easy Boston is the best team, not 479 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: even close, not even close. Jayson Tatum and they don't 480 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: still don't have Robert Williams, but Jason, Jayson Tatum, Jlen Brown, 481 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: Al Horford, Uh, the broad didn't pick up has been, 482 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: in my opinion, the steal of the century what they 483 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: gave up to get him, and he has been a 484 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: perfect fit. And these guys are shooting the lights out. 485 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: Like their offensive efficiency is. I think the gap between 486 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: them and number two, which I believe is Phoenix, is 487 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 1: like five points, which is the same as the gap 488 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: between number two and number sixteen. Like the incredible they 489 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: they've they've been absolutely dominant and they again they're doing 490 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: with doubt Robert Williams. So everything that we expected coming 491 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: into this season, you know, with the way they lost 492 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: in the finals to Steph Curry, the whole um email 493 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: udokas scandal, and you would think that they would at 494 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: least get up to a slow start. You know that's 495 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: maybe not they'd be fine in the end, but you 496 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: would think it'd be a in the exact opposite. They've 497 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: been galvanized and they're easily the best team so far 498 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: this season. In a quick email, Udoka note I I 499 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: follow us weekly because on Instagram, because I used to 500 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: work there and it's been like eighteen years ago, maybe 501 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: twenty um and I saw that they had a report 502 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: that email Udoka's wife Nia long or In whoever he 503 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: they were engaged, but they lived together for a long time, 504 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: just dumped him. I guess she gave him a second 505 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: chance after he was busted shagging all those people in 506 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: the Celtics organization, and its official. He's been dumped and 507 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: he didn't get to go to the Brooklyn Nets, who 508 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: I've heard very little about their sixth in the East 509 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: thirteen and twelve. Real quick, we can wrap up on this. 510 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 511 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: the nation.

You know, I 514 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: am an Atlanta Hawks fan because just like I picked 515 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: the Kings in the West, I am all aboard the 516 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: Tray Young Dejonta Murray train, and I follow the Hawks closely. 517 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: I again a bet on their season win total over. 518 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: I saw something this week that was disturbing. So Trey 519 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: Young apparently was getting shoulder treatment in the locker room, 520 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: and his coach went and said, um so when you're done, 521 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna go to shoot around and then blah blah 522 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: blah or whatever, and Trey Young responded, We'll see how 523 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: I feel, and Nate McMillan something like, n no, No, 524 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't work like that. If you don't do shoot around, 525 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: you don't play. And Trey Young, who is the face 526 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: of the organization, apparently was like, all right, well I'm 527 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: not playing and just didn't go to the arena and 528 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: like stayed at home and and now there's like a 529 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: big rift between the two. Apparently there was like a 530 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: film session where Nate McMillan, remember the last coach I've 531 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: already forgotten his name, Atlanta Lloyd Pierce with Trey Young. 532 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: Lloyd Pierce Pierce beefed with Trey Young and got gone. 533 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: They just dusted him because they gotta ride Tray Young. 534 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: It's a it's a fine line coach and face of 535 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: the franchise, Max player. I don't know if he's a 536 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: super Max guy, but tray Max Trade Young is gonna 537 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: make a lot of money. He's a very good player. 538 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: Hawks are fourth in the East. But Rob this report 539 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: was troubling, like we don't get this stuff with Steph Curry. 540 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: Why the hell is Trey Young acting like this? It 541 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: as a as a Hawks fan and a guy invested 542 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: in their their team this season. This pisses me off 543 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: to no end. You're not Steph Curry and you're acting 544 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: like your Lebron James, like I'm just gonna do what 545 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: I want and steamroll Nate McMillan, who's been around on 546 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: the league for a long time, This is very troubling. 547 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: And I know it's the Atlanta Hawks and nobody cares, 548 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: but I just see stuff like this and I was 549 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: very put out. This is like something Baker Mayfield would pull. 550 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: You know. This is something guys who think they're the 551 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: ship but aren't totally the ship. This is what they do, 552 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: not winners, guys who think they're the stuff. And and 553 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: I just had to riff on that for a minute 554 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: because I'm disappointed in trade Young. I'm not saying you 555 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: gotta fall in line, but dude, you haven't won anything. 556 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: You went to one conference championship series, it was a 557 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: great run. You have potential to do real damage and 558 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: you're pulling this kind of stuff. I don't know, Rob, 559 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: maybe I'm going overboard, but I was pissed no, I'm 560 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: totally with you. And I talked to a few people 561 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: around the league, some people that you might know actually, 562 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: and they made the comparison to Kyler Murray that that 563 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: that that that Trey Young has a little bit of No, 564 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: obviously not as bad as Kyler. I think Kyler is 565 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: well documented, but that Trey has a little bit of 566 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: the Yeah, I'm the man, this is how things roll. 567 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: He can be a little bit difficult to deal with 568 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: because he has a certain the way he likes to 569 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: go about things. But it's part of the reason why 570 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: John Collins has been on the trade market for like 571 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: four seasons now, because John Collins doesn't like the way 572 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: that reportedly that Tree Young know does his business. And 573 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: then it's making the matters worse. Is Trey addressed the 574 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: whole situation on Tuesday, and he went viral with an 575 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: exchange of the reporter where he tried to say, you know, 576 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: this is just a private matter. You don't know what 577 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about. You're not you're an outside guy. You 578 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: don't get it. And credit to the report. I don't 579 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: know his name, off Zak Klein, excuse me out of Atlanta, 580 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: and he's like, well, I know, you're saying that it's private, 581 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: but the fact that you didn't play on Friday night, 582 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: you didn't show up on the sideline, that's public. So 583 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: can you explain why he kept trying to dance around it? 584 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: And then he says, okay, well obviously you were hurt. 585 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: He's like, well, if I was healthy, I would have 586 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: been out there. It's like, well, John Collins is in 587 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: a walking boot and he's on the sideline, so why 588 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: couldn't you show me? Aren't your leader of the team 589 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: and you've got all these fan boys on Twitter and 590 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: social media talking about wall This is why we don't 591 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: like the media. This guy already's clearly said it's a 592 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: private matter, and why you pressing him like that? You 593 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: don't get it. You years some big shot reporter. It's like, na, 594 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: Trey Trey Young understands as an NBA superstar, you're getting 595 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: paid handsome lead to perform your job. Part of your 596 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: job is dealing with the media. And credit to that 597 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: reporter for not letting him off the hook. Because Trey Young, 598 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: the more he spoke, the more it was clear that 599 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: he had some sort of immature emotional outburst with the 600 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: coach that ultimately lead to him deciding that he'd rather 601 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: skip the game entirely then be with his teammates. And 602 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: it's important for him to number one, be accountable and 603 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: number two to ensure that things like that don't happen 604 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: if you're the leader of the franchise. Can I float 605 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: something wrong and this won't be popular because it it's 606 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: gonna come in l Why are you defending Trade Young? 607 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: I don't know Trey Young. Never met him, never interviewed him, 608 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: never deemed him nothing. I do follow him on I 609 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: g and I saw that he had a kid this 610 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: year with Um, some girl he's been engaged to. They 611 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: went to college together. He had a kid in I 612 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: believe in the summer June July. So he's got a 613 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: six month old at home. This is his first season 614 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: with a kid. He's twenty four years old. I don't 615 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: know about you, Rob, I did not have a kid 616 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: at twenty four. There's handled it. I cannot and this 617 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: is not an excuse at all. I can imagine it 618 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: being a little difficult to be juggling a team that's 619 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: good but has a big expectation this year. Um being 620 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: the face of the franchise, having a fiance who I'm 621 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: sure he's wanting to plan the wedding. Um a baby 622 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: at home, and you're traveling with the NBA team all 623 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: the time. And I know, Jason, shut up, man, Trey 624 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: Young's make it twenty five million and whatever the number is, 625 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't even have it. I'm just guessing. Don't give me. 626 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: He can afford all the name needs to take care 627 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: of his kid. Yeah, I get it, but it's trust me, guys. 628 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: This is a huge change in your life, massive in 629 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: his career, and he's having the worst season statistically. I'm 630 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: looking at his number that's worse than his rookie year numbers. Okay, 631 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: he is still making a lot of from the line. 632 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: Nine point seven assists, is scoring is there, But he's 633 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: struggling and they're adjusting to his new backcourt mate. To 634 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: John to Murray, now I did well, we'll wrap up 635 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: on this, Rob. Did you see the game We're Young 636 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: and Murray. We're flexing on the Houston Rockets, crushing them 637 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: by like fifty burying threes, and they would they were 638 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: doing the thing and like I think it was early 639 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, late third hit the three and then stay 640 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: there and pose like step Curry and they were like 641 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: really showing up Houston and Houston. I don't I'm not 642 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: sure who it was on us. Somebody got in their 643 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: face and was like, YO, cut that ship out. Houston 644 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: came back and won the game, and there is some 645 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: there's gonna be growing pains. I don't know. I haven't 646 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: followed the Colin situation close enough. They definitely need one 647 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: more guy. Um, I like a congo a lot um. Yeah, 648 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: we'll see the front courts. Okay, they're they're one of 649 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: those teams and and you know, this is more like 650 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: a fantasy basketball, fanty football te trade, but they're one 651 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: of those teams that would be better off consolidating their 652 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: talent because I think they're one of the deeper teams, 653 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: especially in the Eastern Conference. But I think they'd be 654 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: better served if they could turn two of those guys 655 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: or three of those guys into one marquee player. I 656 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: don't know who that is, but I think that they 657 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: would be better off doing that. That's really tough to do. 658 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: All right, Buddy's telling me I've got to go. Um, 659 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: So I did that. I did have fun chopping it 660 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: up with you. Rob. Good to have you back. On 661 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: the pod. We will be back tomorrow, and oh, your 662 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: teams are surging, so it's a perfect time to get 663 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: excited for the Raiders and Lakers. All right, talk to 664 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: you guys tomorrow
