Ad 48 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: going to the Mavericks and Luca is getting traded to 49 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: the Lakers? 50 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: What the hell? Man? 51 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's world got turned upside down. We'd never 52 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: seen a trade like this in the NBA before. Uh 53 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: and and here we are and now a year later 54 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: and Nico Harrison has been fired, and here are the 55 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: Lakers trying to make it work to be an NBA 56 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: title threat team. So first point about the Lakers, because 57 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: then I could I make a bigger point, a bigger 58 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: hot take on what the last year has taught us. 59 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: So where are the Lakers now, one year after getting Luca. 60 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: They kind of have the same record, right, I think they. 61 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: I think they walked into last night against the Knicks 62 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: with the same record they had a year ago at 63 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: this point. 64 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: How did that game go? 65 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 5: Oh right, Landry Shammitt, go New York, Go New YORKY, 66 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 5: go New York, go New York. 67 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: Co go New York. Uh. 68 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: But the Lakers, And I'll tell you this, the Lakers 69 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: and this trade under Luca, what this trade with Luca? 70 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: Where's it going to be? The Lakers are going to 71 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: be just fine and they'll be a championship contender. Wait 72 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: for it, wait for it, wait for it next season, 73 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: right now, next year. 74 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 4: Now, he's been on his best behavior this year. 75 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 5: He stated, in shape Lucas except for that pesky, you know, 76 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 5: weird court design that almost felled him last Well, well, 77 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 5: the court maybe you don't want to have that court 78 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 5: design anymore. Yeah, that was kind of bad of that, man. 79 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 5: I mean this also prompted a lot of Lebron interviews going. 80 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: Full shaggy what was it? 81 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: Me? 82 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, oh no, no, no, I didn't know about it. 83 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 5: I mean, look, that's how far off I am in 84 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 5: this prosect, which everybody kind of chuckled about. 85 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: But to realize, the Lakers go and they get Luca, 86 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: right to look at this from a longer lens. Now, right, trust, 87 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: we got a great hot take, come on your way. Uh, 88 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: they get Luca and that's a shift because it's not 89 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: just big for all of us NBA. 90 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 5: This was we are moving away from Lebron James and 91 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 5: Luca as long as things go. Okay, he wants to stay. 92 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 5: We are building around him. 93 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: Now. 94 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: Luca comes, has a great time, right, likes it here, 95 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: contract with the Lakers. He's going to be the guy 96 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: long term. Okay, it takes a little bit because you 97 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: had built around Lebron James for so long. 98 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: Now you have to build around Luca. And what does 99 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: Luca need? Right? 100 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: He needs three and D guys. He needs guys, athletic 101 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: big men that can go up and down the floor, right, 102 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: he needs a guy that can another shot maker around him. 103 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: And this is a pretty tall order when you don't 104 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: have a lot of money and you're trying to figure out, 105 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: how do we retool around around Luca. So the Lakers 106 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: try the whole thing with Lebron. Doesn't go great. Okay, 107 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: of incense, hoping he wouldn't opt ins and does it 108 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: they tried during the last season. Doesn't go. So now 109 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: they start the process this offseason of trying to do that. Right, 110 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: they go get DeAndre Ayton, they step in it with 111 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: with Austin Reeves suddenly becoming Scottie Pippens. So now they 112 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: start the season, Lebron is injured and they're playing great. 113 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: They hadn't played any better they played the part of 114 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: the season because they need to be Luka Doncic dominant 115 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: with the ball all the time, handling the ball for 116 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: twenty three out of every twenty four second it's on 117 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: the shot clock, right, That's what they need. And so 118 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: now to build around him, it takes a little bit 119 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: more time than that, and they need that freed up money. 120 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: When Lebron opting in for fifty million, that's going to 121 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: bring them next year when they can bring in another 122 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: three and D guy, another athletic big that can go 123 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: up and down the floor, like that's going to that's 124 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: going to turn the Lakers into the team. This is 125 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: the team we envisioned when we went out and traded 126 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: for Luca, because they've made trades before. The good trades 127 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: are when they don't listen to Lebron. The bad trades 128 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: listen Lebron. So they'll be fine next year because they're 129 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: already starting to build around him now and you can 130 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: see Luca is thriving right triple double average basically every night. 131 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: If the Lakers finished a little bit better, he would 132 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: probably be at the top of MVP voting. But they're 133 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: going to be fine next year because they have to 134 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: get out from under Lebron because they need to get 135 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: better defensively, and that you know, Luca is not great defensively, 136 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: and neither is Lebron. But just like the Knicks with 137 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: with Jalen Brunts Karl Anthony Towns, you got to figure 138 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: out a way around it. But it's not going to 139 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: figure out that way for the Lakers until they move 140 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: on from Lebron after this year, and then they can 141 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: get more athletic defensively, more athletic on the floor, and 142 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: they can take that money and build it more around 143 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: Luca and what he needs and get players of that 144 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: ilk because now it's kind of a hodgepodge trying to 145 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: make it work here as best as we can, just 146 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: to have one season of Luca and Lebron, because the 147 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: last thing Lakers wanted to do was coming into this 148 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: year and say, Okay, we don't want to say we 149 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: didn't give Luca and Lebron a chance, right, We gave 150 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: him a little bit of time after the deadline. It 151 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: didn't work, but they did show flashes of playing together 152 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: like they had never you know, like they've been teammates 153 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: for a long time. We don't want to just close 154 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: the door in that because that could be that could 155 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: be a big mistake. 156 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 5: So they're trying it this year. They're saying they're going 157 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 5: to fall short, they will be fine next season. Fine, yeah, 158 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 5: because what has to happen even coming in the next 159 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 5: month or whatever, he actually shows up on the court. 160 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 5: You haven't reintegrated Austin Reeves and then this stuff, yes yet, right, 161 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 5: So we saw the early success and then Lebron came 162 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 5: in it gets clunky, reeves gets hurt, and now you've 163 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 5: run through this part of the process exciting at times 164 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 5: with some big point point outbursts and some good continuity 165 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 5: and flow, and at other points is absolutely disjointed, and 166 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 5: you see the defensive woes, particularly if you're playing a 167 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 5: heavy schedule over a seven day period. There's just no recovery. 168 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 5: And you got two guys on the court together. That 169 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 5: is flashy as that may be on one end, you 170 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 5: can't tag somebody else in on the other. Right, all right, 171 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 5: two guys are going to run in on this side 172 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 5: of the court when the ball gets. 173 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 4: Beyond half court. Now, that's not the way the NBA works. 174 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 5: It would be an interesting innovation, don't get me wrong, 175 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 5: but we're not looking at that. 176 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: Here. 177 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 5: You got Lebron and the oxygen that he takes in, 178 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 5: and we've talked about it a little bit earlier tonight. 179 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 5: While it may not be the same in terms of 180 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 5: the overall media arch, which I say, it's still there. 181 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 5: It's just people are okay with the negative. Right, it's 182 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 5: the Wizard's Jordan era. You just have to be okay 183 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 5: with it. And no matter what those offensive numbers may 184 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 5: look like, in the composite. There's a lot of noise 185 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 5: in there to defensive lapses you know, will will fail 186 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 5: you when the action actually matters. Right the eighty two 187 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 5: game regular season, you're gonna have those efforts like, oh 188 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 5: that's terrible, Okay, fine, and then you go and you 189 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 5: play a bum team, You have a good night. It's 190 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 5: a wash until you get to a series where you 191 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 5: have to do it right five to seven times. 192 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: And so knowing. 193 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 4: That that's on the horizon, that's just. 194 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: What we're into February. 195 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, just around the corner. 196 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 5: But yeah, as soon as he opted into that fifty 197 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 5: two million dollars, I guarantee you, other than the that 198 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 5: it'll be cool to ride that last ride with Lebron, 199 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 5: it became, damn it, we're doing nothing this year. 200 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 2: Now. 201 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: The other part, and here's your hot take on it, 202 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: is that the other thing the last year has taught 203 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: us is that. 204 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 2: NBA nation, I'll. 205 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: Say meaning the league, the players, it's fans, the Lakers. 206 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: They have all. 207 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: Moved on from Lebron James being the straw that stirs 208 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: the drink that is the NBA For twenty years, he 209 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: has been the dominant personality. Whatever he does is front 210 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: page news. He is polarizing. He's the best player that 211 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: any of us have seen the last quarter century. But 212 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: that time is over. When the Lakers shunted him aside 213 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: and said now we're trading for Luca and now, okay, 214 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: Luca and Lebron good luck, you could see very quickly 215 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: Lebron was kind of on the outside of the circle. 216 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: You're outside the circle of trust. Greg Here's you are 217 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: outside the circle of trust. And since the Lakers did that, 218 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: over the course of the past year, Lebron is not 219 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: the front page newsmaker all the time. There's still times 220 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: and Lebron still makes this but the overall the NBA 221 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: begins and ends every conversation with Lebron and is he 222 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: good enough to still win? 223 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: Is he not? Is he as great a player? Is 224 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: he not? 225 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: That day is over. Like we have moved on. Everybody 226 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: has moved on past Lebron. The fact that you add 227 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: one of Donovan Mitchell's teammates say, this is Donovan Mitchell City. 228 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: Now it's not Lebron. This is Donovan City. 229 00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 2: Dude. 230 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: He's just a kid from Act. It shows up right, 231 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: you have. But somebody in that building made him go 232 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: and apologize. Well, yes, so, I mean it was still 233 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: kiss the ring nonsense. That was awful, But you could 234 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: you have said no right to it's his house. Now 235 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: we may be bringing him in for a farewell year 236 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: because we want to sell a lot of tickets if 237 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: we don't win the title this year. 238 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: So just go apologize to him. 239 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 5: That was years ago, but that chased down block was 240 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 5: a decade ago. I saw it in my twenty sixteen 241 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 5: like everybody had on Instagram. If the Cavaliers are getting 242 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 5: this Lebron James at forty two, they're gonna be great. 243 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: Well they're not. 244 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: But that's the whole thing is that Lebron still is 245 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: a guy that makes some headlines, but no more than 246 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: Wemby or the Knicks. Even Luca has probably surpassed everybody 247 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: as being the guy that's had the most headlines about. 248 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: Him this year. 249 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: You keep trying to make the Knicks, dude, The Knicks 250 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: have been a big stud What the Knicks do is 251 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: a big story all the time. Every the Knicks have 252 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: become that polarizing team that hey they're good again and 253 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: people love to hate him. In your mind, so the Nick, dude, Dan, 254 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: your mind Frostburg. 255 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: Take the L. 256 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: Take the L from yesterday. Man, it's called the regular season. 257 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: Take the L. Take the L for Landry Shaman. 258 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: Take the L L L to Capitol L. 259 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: So Lebron really is not that guy anywhere. How many 260 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: debates do you see on TV and sports talk radio 261 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: in the NBA that begin with Lebron that. 262 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 4: They're just not that that a lot with Can he 263 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 4: be traded? Will he want to be traded? 264 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: It's just it's just he's he's you get a bucket 265 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: a ball, Jason. 266 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: I told you this last year. I said I would 267 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: drive him to the airport. 268 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: No, no, no, and that would be a podcast. We 269 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: make sure to do that. Uh, but that's all. But 270 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: that's all thing is. It's not that suddenly he's gone 271 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: from he we don't talk about him anymore, but he's 272 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: gone from he's the biggest star of the NBA has 273 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: and everything begins and ends. He's the Alpha and Omega. 274 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: Everything begins and ends with Lebron. Now he's another guy 275 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: in the league that we talk about. That that's what 276 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: Lebron at you know, near the who do we talk about? 277 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: Lebron is still in conversations, but we have moved past 278 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: him being that big superstar that okay, what Lebron does 279 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: is front pages and everybody else is just ten miles 280 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: below him. That doesn't happening. 281 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 5: You took it on down above his self proclaimed kingdom, 282 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 5: and you you made him biblical with your reference. 283 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: Full alpha Omega. Here. 284 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 5: Look, it's it's the inevitable life cycle. And it's fun 285 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 5: to see new stars start to take up some of 286 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 5: the oxygen. Believe me, and even yesterday the attempt when 287 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 5: you've got okay, seeing Denver going you could try, but 288 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 5: that that doesn't transcend just yet. 289 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: I'm hoping it does. 290 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 5: I'm hoping we get more of guys like Jamal Murray going, yeah, 291 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 5: I'm making I don't care about the. 292 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: Look you go wow. 293 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: Really mean you look at some of the guys like, whoa, Okay, 294 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: it's just like the Pro Bowl. 295 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: Wow, Carl Anthony Town's actually made the All Star. But 296 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 2: that's just it. 297 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 5: It's like Justin Wiels was being asked repeatedly to be 298 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 5: a Pro Bowler All Stars. 299 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: Jamal Murray, I don't care about trying to kill the probe. 300 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: Now, we're just we're gonna keep asking guys if you 301 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: thought people went Crape. I think that might be a 302 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: bit of a joke that the league is trying to 303 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: play everybody.

Think about the power and the 317 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: attention that he has gotten, the relevance, and that's not 318 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: there anymore. 319 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: Like that just slowly over the last year, slowly. 320 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: But very very definitively has decreased to where now it's like, 321 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: really when when Lebron said, okay, this is a story, 322 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: but it's not suddenly taking over like he did. Like 323 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: we've moved on from him. 324 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 5: Man, hang the banner on this day, February second, put 325 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: him in the rafters. 326 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: Thank you, Nico Exit.

He 377 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 5: was the best post up receiver. I think I've ever 378 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 5: seen guy who would ask you out and get get 379 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 5: his space for to make a big catch. Think about 380 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 5: Giannis in that wing span and Yannas split out right. 381 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 5: Oh and wait in a minute, here comes Wemby to 382 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 5: cover Yiannis. Now we're talking, I'll pay to see that matchup, Gianness. 383 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 5: Would you know what Giannis in shoulder I mean Wemby 384 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 5: in shoulder pads and a helmet would look like one 385 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 5: of those football players from the cartoon that just looks 386 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 5: like when they're so top heavy and then and they 387 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 5: just like they could just fall over because the equipment. 388 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 4: So it would take him down. 389 00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: No, I get that. Sure. 390 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: So biggest story in the NFL has the biggest story 391 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: in the NBA. As Sam Darnold gets ready for the 392 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, your guy justin Jefferson, I want to say, 393 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: former star receiver. 394 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 2: Uh wow, well we got. 395 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 5: Four passes this year. Man, we got four passes. O. 396 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 5: People still start him in fantasy like. 397 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 2: He's gonna catch a pass at somebody. 398 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 5: Now, that was like he wait, the greatest example of 399 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 5: a guy where you're just like and you look at 400 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 5: his final stats and you go, okay, is it okay? 401 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 5: Here eighty four a little over one thousand yards. But 402 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 5: she's just like, I felt like the quietest week was 403 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 5: four catches for sixty four years old. But that's just it, right, 404 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 5: It was limping along. You had the eight catch, one 405 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 5: hundred yard game to close the season, which gets him 406 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 5: over the thousand yard threshold. But to your point, that 407 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 5: was the thing we talked about on the iWatch Reflex 408 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 5: podcast every week. 409 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: Was what are we doing with Justin Jefferson? That's tough. 410 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 5: How many how many receivers do you start? It's a 411 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 5: three receiver league? Is that what we need to have 412 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 5: to is still start him? 413 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: So yesterday Justin Jefferson wighed in on the quarterback situation 414 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: with the Vikings and he said that things would be 415 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: better if they had Sam Darnald this year. Well, hey, JJ, 416 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: don't listen to this podcast. Why trust me, I just 417 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: wanted So he said, just send him the thing from 418 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: a year ago. He says, send justin Jefferson from a 419 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: year ago when we started talking about this. So he said, look, 420 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: things would have been better with Sam Darnold. And here's 421 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: Sam Darnald ready for the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks. Now, 422 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what this has to do with the 423 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: biggest story in the NBA, and then I'll give you 424 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: a Big Bowl prediction that's going to wind up not 425 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: being so bold, because that's how it's gonna end. The 426 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: Donald situation with the Seahawks is very and strikingly similar 427 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: to the Luka Dontch trade between the Mavericks and the Lakers. Okay, 428 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: now it wasn't a trade, but here is Sam Darnald 429 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: stars with the Vikings, right, Okay, hey, keep the guy. 430 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: The guys at one of the top three quarterbacks in 431 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: the NFC. We were looking to replace Kirk Cousins when 432 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: fourteen and three ye had the last two games were 433 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: just okay, but fourteen is fourteen and three. Man, they 434 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: didn't suddenly just figure out Sam Donald at the end. 435 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, we're gonna keep him and instead, the 436 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: Vikings decided, Nope, we're letting you go Wait what yet, 437 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: we like this other guy better. So Donald goes to 438 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, which is like Luca becoming a Laker. And 439 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: what happened right after that? Luca shows up, he plays great, 440 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: He's gonna be the future there. He's leading the league 441 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: and scoring this year. He's having an incredible season. Again, 442 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: if the Lakers were a little bit better, he'd be 443 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,239 Speaker 1: the top of MVP voting. So Luca and Sam are 444 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: the same thing. Here's Sam Donald doing this with the Seahawks. 445 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: Everything is awesome for him. Right as good as he 446 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: was with the Vikings, he's even better with the Seahawks. 447 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, so Luca and Donald JJ McCarthy is Anthony 448 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: Davis because the Vikings sit back and go, man, we 449 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: really biff this. This decision that was bad when they 450 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: made it got worse and worse and worse every week. 451 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: With every week the Seahawks won, With every week Sam 452 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: Donald played great. With every week, they got closer to 453 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: clinching at playoff spot. With every week, ago close to 454 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: Sam Donald becoming a top ten quarterback in the NFL. 455 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: With them clinching home field through the playoffs with them 456 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: getting to the super Bowl, getting to the super Bowl 457 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: with him having maybe his best game in the NFL 458 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: to get there against a great defense, and the Vikings 459 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: sit back and go, Wow, we really biff this, because 460 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: as you're watching Sam Darnold really flourish with the Seahawks, 461 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: you're worried because the guy you decided to replace him with, 462 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, can't stay on the floor, right JJ McCarthy 463 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: couldn't stay on the field, and he wasn't good when 464 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: he was out there. So now you are the Vikings 465 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 1: and you are stuck, and things are so bad that 466 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: now the Vikings have to decide we have to bring 467 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: in some competition for him for next year, just like 468 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: the Vikings, just like the Mavericks are deciding we got 469 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: to go in a different direction. We got to move 470 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: Ad out, We got to find something else that's not 471 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: working right now. They're trying to get rid of Ad 472 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. One because he can't stay 473 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: on the floor. Two because he's still the reminder of 474 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: the Luca trade, which has so many people off and 475 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: had Mavericks fans canceling season tickets and channing fire Nico 476 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: at games. The Vikings look like such an incredibly badly 477 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: run organization. As time goes on, it looks worse and 478 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: worse and worse. Right, So what happens, Well, eventually Nico 479 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: Harrison got fired, right the Mavericks said, okay, we got 480 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: to move on from this. He's gone, He's gone. Okay, 481 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: we got to move on. What did the Vikings decide 482 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: they got rid of their GM? Adelpho Mensa gets fired 483 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: last week? Wait a minute, why you fire him? 484 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: There? 485 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: Like, if you wanted to fire him, we'd have fired 486 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,479 Speaker 1: him right after the season was over, right, or maybe 487 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: towards the end of the season, so you can start 488 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: a GM search. No, he's fired simply because and we 489 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: said this last week, and congratulations to all the show 490 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: that picked this up and took this and ran with 491 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: the congratulations. We told you he got fired because Sam 492 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: Donald made the super Bowl. Right, there's no coincidence that 493 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: they decided to fire him the day after Sam Donald's 494 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl. If the Seahawks had lost, 495 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: maybe he still had a job because you could say, 496 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: all right, Sam wasn't great, didn't get them to the 497 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: super Bowl. 498 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: Okay, we still don't looked that bad. 499 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: No, now we look even worse, and now we're worried 500 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: about all kinds of fans not buying tickets, where we're 501 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: so upset with what's happening with the team. It's such 502 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: a big fail. They fire the general manager because it's 503 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: such a big reminder of what went on and this 504 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: awful decision to not keep Sam Darnell when you knew 505 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: he was really good at least the Jets got rid 506 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: of him when he stunk. 507 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: You knew he was really good here. 508 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: So all the all the similarities are there, and I'll 509 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: go you one further. If JJ McCarthy's Anthony Davis, and 510 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: he is, he doesn't have much time left to be 511 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback with the Vikings because the Vikings know we're 512 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: gonna have to move on from him if he's not 513 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: good this year. And I don't know how suddenly he's 514 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: gonna get good, because you come into the league, you 515 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: show you have talent, or you don't. Maybe you have 516 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: the system for him where you don't. They're gonna have 517 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: to move on from him because he's just a reminder 518 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: of this awful decision that we had a Super Bowl 519 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: quarterback on our roster and said, Noe, we wanted to 520 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: go to a guy who was unproven, and we had 521 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: all the all the evidence we need. 522 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: It's not like we he was there and we didn't know. 523 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 2: I didn't know, I didn't know. 524 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: You knew everything, and you still moved on from They're 525 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to move on from this move. So I'm 526 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: telling you JJ McCarthy, I would do it now, but 527 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: the Vikings still want to have some sort of last 528 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: gasp hope that maybe he gets it next year. We 529 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: don't wind up looking so bad and we and everybody 530 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: you know comes back to us thinking we know what 531 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: we're doing. But eventually they're gonna have to move on 532 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: from him, and he's gonna have to go try to 533 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: restart his career someplace else because it's such a bad 534 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: reminder of what you saw. This move of moving on 535 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: from Darnol. It's the same thing as Luca. It's playing 536 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: out the same way for all those teams. Well, we'll 537 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: see if he wins the championship, because remember Luca got 538 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: to one and then didn't they took his beer. What's 539 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: the equivalent here, Oh, let's see they which allegedly he 540 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: got back. They took his beer. The Viking side. We're 541 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: bringing in competition for you for next year. That's my 542 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: favorite part is that now we love him so much, 543 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: but now we don't and we're bringing in competition. 544 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 5: But that's the thing though, right is depending on what 545 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 5: story you believe, and it's all you know, been put 546 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 5: out in the media and sourced out and everything. Kevin 547 00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 5: O'Connell was the guy raised in his hand go on. 548 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 5: I'm not sure when it came to JJ McCarthy and 549 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 5: wanted the retention of Donald. You also had Daniel Jones, 550 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 5: who's the afterthought and all of this. He wanted to start, 551 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 5: got his fifteen million dollars from Indianapolis. But when you 552 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 5: look at for the Sam Donald side of things, he 553 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 5: was also a reminder. 554 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 4: He decided to make him. 555 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 5: The full fall guy off a couple of bad games, 556 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 5: and it absolved to some degree not here Kevin O'Connell 557 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 5: from anything in terms of play calling, down distance, situational 558 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 5: football and all of that. But you had JJ McCarthy 559 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 5: come in start the year, had that big win over 560 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 5: the Bears to get things started, but he got hurt 561 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 5: and then immediately he's back on the shelf. So I 562 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 5: still don't know what he is. I don't think a 563 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 5: lot of those folks do. Having Justin Jefferson, who never 564 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 5: says anything, come out and go. Yeah, it would have 565 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 5: been great to run it back. We could have maybe 566 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 5: done some great things because of the timing we'd established 567 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 5: and all of the heights that you'd seen. You had 568 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 5: a lot of things go together, right because you can, 569 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 5: you can pile up the evidence hundred and seventy two 570 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 5: combined starts of the guys these drafted a Doopa Menza 571 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 5: during his time there. Yeah, it's not good for anybody. 572 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 5: No Pro bowlers. It's kind of hard not to have 573 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 5: a Pro Bowl again. Oh no, it's very easy. Justin 574 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 5: Fields don't have any Pro bowlers. Begged, yeah, begged multiple times, 575 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 5: Yeah times. 576 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: What's the what they said? What's the worst quarterback? We 577 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: can ask? And people still make fun of us. What's 578 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: the worst quarterback? We can ask? And we still have 579 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. 580 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 5: Keeps going down there and again former bear. But I 581 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 5: mean we got to call it what it is. 582 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, You saw Russell Wilson's the next guy he 583 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: gets Yeah, sure, AFC. 584 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean yeah, no. 585 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 5: We traded him back to the AFC for purposes of this, 586 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 5: I'm just going through. 587 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 2: They can ask for for the whole anybody. I'm gonna 588 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 2: know who. 589 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 4: You can ask for anybody, anybody at this point. 590 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 5: But like you had all of these circumstances, you have 591 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 5: the struggles, and Jefferson name checked all of the guys 592 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 5: in the receiving room. Yeah, you had a run with TJ. Yeah, 593 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 5: you had a good run with Addison. Yeah, he had 594 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 5: a good run here and we had a great report, 595 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 5: and you go back to what he did. The rest 596 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 5: of the division caught up right because Chicago was a doormat, 597 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 5: and now they passed you. Detroit, even with the slide back, 598 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 5: they're still ahead of you. And Green Bay is just 599 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 5: resetting with the new with Michaeh. Parsons will come back 600 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 5: at some point. You look at what they were offensively, 601 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 5: started getting healthy. They've got speed for days if they 602 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 5: can get all those guys on the field. At the 603 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 5: same time, you saw Matthew Golden show up down the stretch. 604 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 5: So all of that to say, it's the Sam Darnold, 605 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 5: even if he didn't have the massive statistics twenty five 606 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 5: and fourteen not overwhelming, but he made throws where they mattered, 607 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 5: made big plays where they mattered, and on the other side, 608 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 5: you've got a guy where. 609 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 4: You just don't know what he is at this point. 610 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 5: So for the Vikings, it became the all right, let's 611 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 5: get rid of a dopamensa and you get some of 612 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 5: these other stories that go out, well they didn't love 613 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 5: his paternity leave or whatever like that's you're just making 614 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 5: up stuff of that that that is from you. You 615 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 5: would have fired him then, right, but men's stuff, And 616 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 5: it was conveniently became part of the conversation after what 617 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 5: Joe Brady said as he took the head coaching job, 618 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 5: talking about you know, his wife and missing the birth 619 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 5: of a kid and all of that that conveniently that 620 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 5: comes out. So you know, take all of those reports 621 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 5: when they come out with a bit of a grain 622 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 5: assault because people are trying to push a narrative one 623 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 5: way or the other. But for the Vikings, yeah, Sam 624 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 5: Darnald's success is the worst thing that could have happened. Yeah, 625 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 5: it's it's it's the only reason why he got fired. 626 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 5: But it's the thing is, it's such a bad mistake. 627 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: And I know the Jets are going to get you know, 628 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: pulled through this because well, the Jets, it's rightfully so 629 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: we got. 630 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 2: Almost killed Sam Darnold. 631 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: We got rid of Sam Darnald when he was. 632 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,959 Speaker 2: He stunk, he was seeing ghosts. 633 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: You were putting him into the After the Vikings got 634 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: rid of him, after they knew he was really. 635 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: Good, he was okay, don't want it? Then, what do 636 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: you mean? 637 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Viking still said no, okay, they're dumb, okay, exactly, okay, 638 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: trying to kill him off, like you know, you know. 639 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: The thing is is like all this revisionist history with 640 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: the Jets. Now that all the Jets quit on Sam Darnold, 641 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: they did okay, they didn't do many favors by bringing 642 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: in Adam Gase, Right, what do I tell you when 643 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: he got hired, I said, I'm waiting out Adam Gase 644 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: because I'm just going to find and I knew he's 645 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: gonna do a year or two and get fired, and 646 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: he did. But what people don't remember is that Sam 647 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: Donald liked Adam Gase, thought Adam Gase was the best coach. 648 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: Forms Everything was great, Everything was even at the end though, 649 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: but it's not. But if you're a quarterback, you have 650 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: to at least own a little bit that I was 651 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: bad and Sam Donald was bad. I remember he had 652 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: he was bad. The Jets did him no favors, No, no, 653 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: he owned his terrible just like Josh Allen. But he 654 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: was bad with the Jets. He was bad with the 655 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Right, But now it's worked with Minnesota and 656 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: with Seattle. Look, there's systems for everybody, but it doesn't 657 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: mean that where you go, it's oh, it's always the 658 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: other team's fault. It's like, Okay, he's only the quarterback 659 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: because of a because he got the lucky break for 660 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: him that McCarthy got hurt and he got the chance 661 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: start because they had nobody else. The Vikings signed Sam 662 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: Donald two years ago thinking he was never gonna play 663 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: for them. Now all of a sudden, you got to 664 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: start all season. Okay, I go, Sam Donald, like, that's 665 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: the only reason that he is where he is right now, 666 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: it's because JJ McCarthy got hurt. If JJ McCarthy didn't 667 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: get hurt, Sam Donald's still buried on the bench somewhere 668 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: looking for a chance to get to hook on. And 669 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: maybe he's with a team that he has the right 670 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: system for it. Maybe he's not right. Just get to 671 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: Sam Donald had his chance to prove and Flashy was 672 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: really good and the Jets gave him a long time 673 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: and he couldn't. 674 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 2: But he was on the Jets. 675 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: I know, that's that's gonna be built in. But again, 676 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: he wasn't going with other teams. He wasn't good elsewhere. 677 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: So it's not just the Jets. 678 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 5: To be fair, it was great, to be fair, Carolina 679 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 5: had him and Baker Mayfield didn't know what to do 680 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 5: with either. 681 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, So in the pantheon it should be okay. 682 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: So the Vikings should be getting the most blame, then 683 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: the Panthers because they had two guys, then the Jets 684 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: because they only had the one guy. 685 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 2: That's how I like the Jets do this consistently. Yeah, 686 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 2: and had a lot of guys. That's true. 687 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,479 Speaker 5: That is true, not just a quarterback position, but at 688 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 5: other positions. 689 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, go on to greatness other places. Yeah, I know, 690 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 2: give a Geno flashed for a minute. 691 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: Wait till Gino comes back and starts with the Jets, 692 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: and see, just wait, a lot happens. 693 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 5: Those twenty thirteen rookie cards of valid again, and anybody 694 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 5: that kept those jerseys. 695 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 3: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith 696 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 3: Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven 697 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 3: pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app
