1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: straight Fire fan, it's your boy, Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire Tuesday, August.

3
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: It was kind of a slow Monday in sports, but

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: I will point this out right off the jump, and

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys saw on my Instagram. I opened

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: with a bit of a nine minute tangent, just on

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: random stuff. And you know, Rob G's got the traditional

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: radio background and as a producer, listen, he knows best

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: right um, and he was out he's not a fan

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: of these nine minute tangents. And the people have spoken

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: they kind of sort of like tangents. But I don't

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: have a nine minute ramble today. I did say, see this,

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: this is super random. I did not even tell Rob

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna open with this. It's probably one minute, okay, Rob.

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Have you seen the movie Shooter with Mark Walburn? No?

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: I have not. Oh stop it. You've seen Shooter with

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: Mark Walburn? I have not. Come on it's on cable

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: every week again. Are you serious? Oh my gosh. Okay,

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: So basically there's a scene you can do a spoiler

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: alert on a movie that's over six years old. I

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: believe that's the statute of limitations. So there's a scene

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: where Mark Wahlberg has to like go in this house

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: to kill like this bad guy and then get out,

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: and it's like a trap and there's like, yeah, there's

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: like fifty guys fighting Mark Wahlberg, Okay, and he escapes,

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: but he's like a Special Forces type guy. And you know,

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: my brother and I are really into the end of

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Day's stuff, so we're always texting about this. So Shooter

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: was on TV yesterday and I text him what percentage

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: chance could Mark Wahlberg get out of that house. I'll

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: give it one percent if if that scenario played out

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: a hundred times one time, he could probably escape. He

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: had one guy in the bushes like hiding the help

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: of And then I asked my brother, whom was in

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: a fraternity with the dude who was like, um, I

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: don't know if he was the Seal Team six or

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Navy Seal or Delta or whatever he was. But I

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: was like, you gotta text this guy and ask him

39
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: because he's an expert. And my brother basically was like, couple,

40
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: are you serious? Do you really want me to ask

41
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: this guy? And like, I'm not kidding, guys, I have

42
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: these weird affinity for movies. For instance, eight Mile came

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: on yesterday. First thing I did. Where in the movie?

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: Is it okay? If it's in the final thirty minutes,

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm not changing the channel. The wrap off is amazing stuff.

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Um and like I have these weird affinity for movies.

47
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: I really like shoot her. Um uh, the girl in it.

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm spacing on her name now. She is related to

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers owner um family, Kate Mara. Big fan

50
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: of Kate Mara's work. Um. But the one blue pop

51
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: culture thing I want to get off my chest before

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Rob yells at me via text um is the show

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso. I told you guys, I had started Apple TV,

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: my free subscription. Obviously, I will cancel it as soon

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: as the prescriptriptions up. Um. So I started watching Ted Lasso,

56
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: and I had heard good things. Folks. If you like

57
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: the Office with Steve Carrell, you're gonna love Ted Lasso

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: because I feel like they're similar, very similar characters. Jason

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: sudeikis Rob Jr. A fan of his work, of course,

60
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, fight favorite. Jason sudeikis movie oh um

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: without looking on IMDb, I really like him. In Horrible Bosses.

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Horrible Bosses is up there. I have a sleeper. It's

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: called sleeping with other people. Jason, you gotta listen. Don't

64
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: watch it around your wife Alison Bree, who you will

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: instantly have a crush on and you know, want to

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: be a fan of her on Instagram or whatever after

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: you see it. Sudeikis is unbelievably funny in that, and

68
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: she is just, you know, very likable. Let's just put

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: it that way. I did I. Once I start watching

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso, I end up reading about these guys because

71
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm not an SNL viewer, so I didn't watch him

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: on SNL. I'm not familiar. Other couple people have known

73
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: this guy for fifteen years watching him. I'm just reading

74
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: about him. He played basketball and community college. I mean, rob,

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: if I can get him into our pickup game out

76
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: here in the South Bay, that would be a major coup.

77
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: He would probably give me buckets. Um, I will listen.

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm a good defender, all right. Speaking of basketball, I

79
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: you know it is a football week, but I wanted

80
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: to open with the Luca don Chech contract. And I

81
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: know you guys think I've been ballwatching Luca for about

82
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: a year on this podcast. Now, Um, I'll say this,

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: last week on Undisputed, I had some fiery takes that

84
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: I didn't think were that hot and spicy, and they

85
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: really got under the skin of the Undisputed fan base.

86
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: You know, I totally have forgotten that Skip is a

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: big Clippers guy. So when I'm gassing up the Lakers,

88
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: all these people love me or hate me more more

89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: hatred from the Undisputed social media fan base. And then

90
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: I went out and said Luca is the best player

91
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: in the NBA, and I listen, I get it. A

92
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: lot of you guys disagree with that, and that's fine.

93
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: I've called him an early stock you want to buy,

94
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: buy and hold, keep buying by any dips that there are.

95
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: And Luca got basically the I think Rob, is it

96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: the biggest contract for a rookie because he's already been

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: all in b a twice. Um, Luca got paid and

98
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: like the entire Maps front office flew to so Slovenia

99
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: to present him with this uh and today he's gonna announce,

100
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, um in front of the press. I mean, Rob,

101
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: first of all, do you have any pushback against Luca

102
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: getting all of the money, not at all. I think

103
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: if there's anybody who's deserving of that kind of pay day,

104
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be him. I'd rather give Luca don Chet

105
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars than thirty two year old Steph Curry.

106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: That's nothing against Steph Curry, but what is it Lucas

107
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: twenty two, so I mean two years older. Yeah, I'd

108
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: give him all the money if I could. He's he's

109
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna end his career upwards dround a billion dollars in

110
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: salary if he plays his card right. It's gonna be

111
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: basically yeah, basically, the numbers say he is on the

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: very shortlist, like the top five players ever by the

113
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: age of twenty two, and Lebron is in that group.

114
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: By the way, Um, And like I knew you guys

115
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: didn't care about the Olympics and we barely talked about

116
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I'm just gonna point out the France

117
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: team that pushed USA and covered the spread in the

118
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: gold medal game. In the semifinal, Luca had eighteen assists

119
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: in one turnover. Eighteen assists and one turnover against France,

120
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: and they were like Spain throw a box in one

121
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: at Luca it's basically, hey, man, we gotta stop him,

122
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: even though he's playing with a bunch of plumbers, and

123
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: they just like couldn't and and France got lucky. This

124
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: guy drove the Luca drew Rudy Gobert out of the

125
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: paint wisely, and then some dude drove in for a

126
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: layup and but Tum squatted it off the backboard. But

127
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Luca also had only the third triple double in the

128
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: history of the Olympics. Lebron had one, and then some

129
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: Russian dude in the seventies. Um. And it's crazy because

130
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I have all this information on Luca from what I

131
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: did undisputed last weekend. I started going through and I'm like,

132
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: who's better than this guy? Even in the article Rob

133
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you read the article when I

134
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: guess Woads broke the news or whatever. And in his

135
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: article it really says glowingly that Luca could be the

136
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: face of the NBA, and I found that interesting. I

137
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: don't know if you read that, But like he didn't

138
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: mention Janice, who all these people who like Janice won

139
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: the title, won the finals. MVP was amazing. In game six,

140
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: I got it, Um like people are upset that Janice

141
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: is not being pegged as the face of the NBA,

142
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: and Luca could be, or Zion could be. I just

143
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: want to remind guys, everybody was thrilled with Katie's series

144
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: against the Bucks, right, Katie was amazing thirty five ten

145
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: and five. Um. I just want you guys to know

146
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: Luca dodge it at twenty two against two of the

147
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: best wing defenders in the league, Paul George and Kawhi Letter. Basically,

148
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: the Clippers have two of the best wing defenders in basketball.

149
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Luca averaged thirty five, ten and seven shot same as

150
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: k D in that series against the Bucks from three

151
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: better than k D. The line is what dragged him down.

152
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: He was abysmal, But in Game seven on the road,

153
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Luca just forty six points on Kauai. I mean, the

154
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: guy's unbelievable. He's unstoppable. I know he he looks like

155
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: you could defend it because he's kind of in slow motion.

156
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: He's just amazing. Rob I'm not going overboard here what

157
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: I say. I totally can envision a scenario where if

158
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: the MAVs happened to not draw the Clippers for the

159
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: third year in a row Or happened to not draw

160
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers. I can see them going to the conference finals.

161
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: That would not surprise me at all. I don't even

162
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: know who else are gonna add Gore and draw Apparently

163
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna get moved off Toronto um Or Is that

164
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: where he was traded Yeah? I think yeah, he traded

165
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: for in the Lowry deal. There's a lot of talk

166
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: that Draws would surface with his buddy, uh Luca in Dallas.

167
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if Toronto would want to facilitate that,

168
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: um but I'm just saying right now, like the Dallas

169
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: there's a reason Luca was favored to win the MVP

170
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: before last season started, favored now he had COVID. I

171
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: think he got COVID. He was in protocols and he

172
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: missed some time him and it never really happened for

173
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: him because the MAVs couldn't couldn't do ship without him.

174
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: But I don't know, Rob, I just I'm all in

175
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: on Luca. Don I know. I know I've made that

176
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: very clearly the year, But it's just one of these

177
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: like how is everybody not seeing what's blatantly obvious? And

178
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: and really, if you say he hasn't want to playoff series.

179
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: You're not doing it right, right, Um, Well, a couple

180
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: of things here. Number one, the whole face of the league,

181
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Yannice angle of it. A big part

182
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: of it is that it's, in my opinion, at least nowadays,

183
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: it's almost impossible for a big man to be the

184
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: face of the NBA. The way the game is played,

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: the way kids emulate the game. You're never saying, oh,

186
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait to you know, get in the pain

187
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: and dunk like Janice. Like, no, you want to shoot

188
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: like Steph Curry. You want to handle like Kyrie Irving,

189
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: you want to be that kind of and and and

190
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: and Jannice is very very good. I think he has

191
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: a case to be the best player in the NBA.

192
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: But his game is not visually stimulating in the same

193
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: way that Lucas is. And as I think what James

194
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Harden was getting at right where it's like he has

195
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: no skill. He can do three dribbles from mid court

196
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: and dunk the ball. Bro he has something he has.

197
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: He takes a level of skill to be. The body

198
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: control is something that not a lot of big guys

199
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: have that he can do. But you know Luca is

200
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: on a different level because not only is he good,

201
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: but he looks good when he's doing it, and I

202
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: think that's something that people appreciate. Um, let me just

203
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: say this, This might be a little bit of cold

204
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: water on your whole theory about the the Maths going

205
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: to the Western Conference final next year. I'm very, very

206
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: concerned that we could have a Lebron James two point

207
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: oh in Cleveland situation happening with Luca because I looked

208
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: at holla, holla, holla hola Lebron James two point oh

209
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: in Cleveland first time around, Yes, when he was super young,

210
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh, we'll get your help, and

211
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: they got him like Antoine Jamison and exactly exactly. So

212
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: I've looked at their salary cap going forward. Now this

213
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: is all imperfect because we still don't have like the

214
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: final numbers on Hardaway, the final numbers on Bullock, things

215
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: like that. But based on a quick viewing, and this

216
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: is all courtesies spot track, the MAVs won't really have

217
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: any cap space to do anything until the summer of

218
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: that's assuming they don't make any other deals to add salary,

219
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: which you know that they're going to and this is

220
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: where they're in a little bit of a conundrum. When

221
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: you have a player as good as Luca Dodge is

222
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: just like the Calves with the good as Lebron James,

223
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you understand that every single year you are a contender,

224
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: So you start jeopardizing your future because you want to

225
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: win now, because you know, like, hey, this guy's ability

226
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: to win is now. We're not building for the future.

227
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: He's good enough to win right now. What Cleveland did

228
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: is they brought in, like you said, Anton Jamison, they

229
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: brought in a broken down shack. They paid for guys

230
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: who didn't make sense for the for that system or

231
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: for for that team, and it helped them in the

232
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: short term, but in the long term it costs them

233
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: cap space, it costs them draft pick assets, things of

234
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: that sort, or even if they use the draft picks

235
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: at all, because they're in a win now, modes that

236
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: they're trading in their picks that you know, to get

237
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: some of these players Dallas, because primarily of the Christaps

238
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: porzingis albatross of a deal. They're not going to have

239
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: any cap space until the center of At that point,

240
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: Lucas only two years away from an opt out Okay,

241
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: hold on, let me let me just get a quick

242
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: twenty second time out. So I are you looking at

243
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: the hoops hype salaries or support track, spot track and

244
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: basketball reference. I will go with so Porzingis has two

245
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: more years left at sixty four and then a player

246
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: option which he obviously will take correct thirty six million UM.

247
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: They have twite power for two at twenty two. He's

248
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: a good defender. MAXI Kleiber solid uh seventeen mail over two.

249
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: I don't see any more owner deals on there. Well,

250
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: you got Tim Hardaway Jr. That would see that one

251
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been updated. Reggie Bullock has has been updated, so

252
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: it's not He's not a bad like shooter, right, So

253
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: going into and again, but the cap is gonna go up,

254
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: so they're gonna have some space. But currently as constructed,

255
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: just with Luca Porzingis Hardaway Junior, and we're assuming that

256
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: Reggie Bullocks on there, even if it is a non

257
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: guaranteed deal which they can get out of. But let's

258
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: say that they keep it. They're at over a hundred

259
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: million dollars with four guys. That is not enough space

260
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: to get another Max contract in there. So you either

261
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: got to find a taker for Chris. Thats porzingis which

262
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 1: not going to say that a contract is immovable, but

263
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: you're not have to catch a lot of picks to

264
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: get out of it. Yeah, and now that now they

265
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: gave away a pick to get just to get him.

266
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: That just happened in the past draft. Right, Yes, that

267
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: they have their number one going forward for the next

268
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: two years. Right. So the problem though is, like I

269
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: said before, you're in this catch twenty two with Luca

270
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: where he's so good where you know you want to

271
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: in now that you risk losing that cap space because

272
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to capitalize on this window and if you

273
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: don't hit on those picks, and history says Dallas has

274
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: a really bad record when it comes to getting free agents.

275
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: Either they can't get guys to show up or they overpay.

276
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: And now you're in this awkward situation where you get

277
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: to Luke's got two years left on a deal for

278
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: the opt out and you're nowhere further than where you

279
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: when you started. All right, let me counter to that. So, yes,

280
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: the Calves butchered with Lebron, but a glass half full

281
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: kind of guy that I am, um, I would say, hey,

282
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: look at the Bucks. They had the best record in

283
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: the league with Janice and Middleton and blood Cell for

284
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: two years and everybody was like, oh, they're they're done,

285
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: They're screwed. Oh wait a minute. They were able to

286
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: grab Drew Holiday for I think it Austin two or

287
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: three picks right, um and Bledsoe and ultimately Drew Holiday

288
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: was a massive difference for them in the playoffs. And

289
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: by the way, I'll just say Drew Holiday if you

290
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: missed Monday's pot I was. His game in the Olympics

291
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: was outstanding. Um, he looks like a beast. Um. He

292
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: was huge in Game five in Phoenix, the one they needed.

293
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: He had twenty seven and fourteen, and he had been

294
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: garbage for the first four games, especially the first two

295
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: when they were down out too. But like, I don't

296
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: would you call what is Drew Holiday a star because

297
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: like it's tough like to define superstar versus star. Does

298
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: it even matter? Like bottom line is they had you, honest,

299
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: they had Middleton who was just two slash three and

300
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: they bring on Drew Holiday and boom they have a championship.

301
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: Now we can argue, yeah, they got lucky because of

302
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: the injuries. Fair enough, they got the title. So is

303
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: there a Drew Holiday type player out there who the

304
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: MAVs could pursue that would have that kind of impact

305
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: unloading their Eric bloodsoe in porzingis porzingis. By the way,

306
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: it's only twenty six and the injuries have been have

307
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: been massive. Now the question is, can we find that

308
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: player mired in a crap situation? I don't know. Malcolm

309
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: Brogden probably, I'm not gonna do it, and I don't

310
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: see why the Pacers are trade for him, um, given

311
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Turner and sabonis Um. But Brogden is that I don't

312
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: think he's been an All Star, but he is a

313
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: good like defensive guard who can score. I don't know

314
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: if he could put up Holiday type numbers. But is

315
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: there someone else out there? Let's help We're trying to

316
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: help people, Rob, Is there someone else out there that

317
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: jumps out at you as a potential difference maker. I mean,

318
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you could make a move for like

319
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: a C. J. McCollum level player where guys really good,

320
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: but it's not quite an All Star. But here's the

321
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: any defense. But here's the problem though, where the Bucks

322
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: looked out is that Chris Middleton. Say what you want

323
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: about his skills and his consistencies, he was not the

324
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: one who they had a trade to get the player.

325
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: He was already established as their number two. Unless Tim

326
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Hardaway Jr. Suddenly becomes a player that nobody can foresee

327
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: him becoming, they're going to have to get rid of

328
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: their perceived number two, which is Porzingis, and then you're

329
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: still a player behind. Well, I'm as fans would argue

330
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: that Hardaway passed Porzingis as the number two in the

331
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: playoffs last year, and then he if that's the case,

332
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: he's the worst number two in the playoffs. No offense

333
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: to Tim Hardaway Jr. But you know he's not that

334
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: level of player. I mean, yeah, but in that series

335
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: against I gotta call up the stats what he did

336
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: against the against the Clippers, But he was phenomenal in

337
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: that series. He was hot a couple of several games

338
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: and that in that series. So was Dorian Pheney Smith

339
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of games. Yeah, I mean, you're a

340
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: Hardaway is no Middleton. No, nobody would confuse those two.

341
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: He averaged oh gosh during the regular season, is that real? Yeah?

342
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: Sixteen three and one shot thirty. But then in the

343
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: playoffs is where he really took off. Uh. And I

344
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: thought he was just amazing in that series against the Clippers.

345
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean he had several games where he basically could

346
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: not miss, uh from three, Um, only seventeen a game,

347
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: it felt like more. Uh, he was very impactful. His

348
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: his impact. I think games one and two he had

349
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: twenty one and then twenty eight and he had eleven

350
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: of seventeen on threes. Now again, game four he pulled

351
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: the Dennis shrewder and was one of eight, you know,

352
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: four points. And a game seven, where was he, Oh,

353
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: he was one of nine. Like you can't if Middleton

354
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: goes one of nine from three, Uh, you know, the

355
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: Bucks are not winning game six or whatever. Um, It's

356
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: it's challenging. I don't think it can't be done. Um.

357
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: I Actually this is what I love about the NBA.

358
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: And I can't believe we just did fifteen minutes on

359
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: this and we'll move move on in a second. But

360
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Rob just the idea of, hey, we can

361
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: look around at the cap, we can look at the players,

362
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: we can see who's out there, who's disgruntled, who who's gettable,

363
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: and we can put it like listen, This is gonna

364
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: sound insane, but there's a lot of talk that if

365
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: the Bulls don't get to the playoffs, Zach Levine probably

366
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: is gone. He's gonna leave Chicago because they're gay. They

367
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: gave money to everybody that listen. I'm a as big

368
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: as Zach Levin as you'll find outside of the city

369
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: of Chicago. Does he fit with Luca? I mean catch

370
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: and shoot threes? Levine was on fire last year. He's incredible. Um,

371
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: would he be a better two for you than uh? Then, well,

372
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: obviously the hardaway, but then Middleton, he wasn't Olyvian, He's

373
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: a He's a better player. I think that Chris Middleton.

374
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: It's just you know how the fit works kind of thing.

375
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: But again, they don't have cap space. So unless you're

376
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: able to convince Chicago to take that terrible Christaps portzinc

377
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: Is contract with like having draft picks attached to it,

378
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: then sure. But then again, that's I think that's the

379
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: only thing maybe that you and I might agree on,

380
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: is they are in a unique situation because part of

381
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: you says, hey, he's twenty two. We got a lot

382
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: of time to build with this guy. We just got

383
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: him to this Max contract. The other part of you says, no,

384
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: this guy's the face of the league. We can win

385
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: right now. He's that good. Let's go all in. So

386
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: you're you're in a unique situation in Dallas. Fox Sports

00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: and I'll be quick on this, the Lakers introduced Carmelo

392
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: Anthony on Monday. Everybody who's all excited. I must have

393
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: seen you know, you follow all these basketball accounts on Instagram,

394
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: and I must have seen the video, like twenty three

395
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: places like people just love Carmelo man. I personally don't

396
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: get it. Um. I never never struck me as a

397
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: winning player, although I was a fan obviously. When he

398
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: got to the Knicks, Um, and it prompted me to

399
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: do a deeper dive into the Lakers. Um. Folks, this

400
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: is gonna startle you a little bit. But everybody's just

401
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: calling the Lakers old their fossils. I joked on undisputed

402
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: the Lakers would lead the league in cholesterol. Uh LaVar

403
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: Arrington kind of fell out of his chair. But I

404
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: do want to point out if you look at the

405
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: nine eight Bulls, Jordan's last championship team. Okay, remember Drake

406
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: going back to back like I'm Jordan. Well, the team

407
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: is kind of forgotten, okay, because they didn't win sixty

408
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: nine games in the regular season and dust everybody in

409
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They struggled. You know why because they were old.

410
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: Go look it up on Basketball Reference. Are you ready, Jordan?

411
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: And this is part of the age. On Basketball Reference.

412
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: Jordan was thirty four, Rodman was thirty six, Ron Harper

413
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: was thirty four, Scottie Pipper was thirty two. Those are

414
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: their core four. Tony Coo coach was also in their

415
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: UH twenty nine. The nine man rotation that the Bulls

416
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: played had one guy who was twenty seven or younger

417
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: and his name was Scott Burrell, who everybody knows from Yukon. Haha,

418
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: just kidding. Everybody knows the last dance because Jordans just

419
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: relentlessly tormented the guy. Okay, he was the only one

420
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: seven or younger and he was seven. The Lakers, they

421
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: do have some some old dudes. Mellow thirty seven, Areza

422
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: thirty six, By the way, those guys are not starters. Okay,

423
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: just for the record, but if you look at the

424
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Lakers core starters, Lebron thirty six, Got Soul thirty six,

425
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: Russ thirty two, bays More thirty two, Dwight Howard thirty five.

426
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: So yes, the Lakers are older, undeniable older than the Bulls.

427
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: The Lakers, by all accounts, are gonna be the oldest

428
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: team in NBA history. I'm just pointing out a lot

429
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: has changed in the last twenty five years. How players

430
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: take care of their bodies. We know that players are

431
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: playing much longer now than they did in the nineties.

432
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: Go look when Isaiah Thomas retired. Go look when Larry

433
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: Bird retired. Folks, Lebron is thirty six. Michael Jordan had

434
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: quit basketball twice, Okay, quit twice by the time, uh

435
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: he he came to be thirty six years old. Okay.

436
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: And I know Rob's snickering at quit. People hate when

437
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: I do that. Okay, Yes, I know he retired twice.

438
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: I'd like to say quit because he quit, he walked away.

439
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, those Bulls were a third straight

440
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: run to the finals. So tackle those twenty extra playoff games.

441
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: Times three. Oh yeah, it's it's heavy. Look at them

442
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: now with the load Management League. Now, I mean, Carmelo

443
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: is thirty seven. What was the lot of time you

444
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: get out of the first round of the playoffs? Trevor

445
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: Reesa as he's been at the playoff runs not recently.

446
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: Gosaul kind of split the business with Dwight Howard. Oh,

447
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: I forgot. Anthony Davis is not in his late thirties

448
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: or mid thirties or even early thirties. How old is

449
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis Roby nine, He's I mean, come on, Anthony

450
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: Davis twenty eight. I'm just saying, stop freaking out about

451
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: the age, you know. Yeah, by the way, Kendrick Nunn,

452
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: who may start at some games, I don't know. Twenty six,

453
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: Malik Monk my guy twenty three, Like, yes, the Lakers

454
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: are old, but were really old? Two folks. I think

455
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: the Lakers are gonna be fine. Rob Any thoughts on

456
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: the old Lakers. I'm very confident in the Lakers. I

457
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: think they're going to be easily the best team in

458
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: the West. And I just think it's funny that everybody

459
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: points out the Lakers age and and you know they

460
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: are old. I'm not gonna say they're not, but conveniently

461
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: leaves out that the Miami Heat, who everybody thought I

462
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: had a great offseason with the additions of Kyle Lowry

463
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: and p J Tucker Kyle Lowry thirty five, p J

464
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: Tucker thirty six, and they're not like you know, Carmelo

465
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Trevor Ree's a thirty six. Where there are you know,

466
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: bit players on this roster, Like these guys are gonna

467
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: be playing thirty five plus minute tonight. And that's in

468
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: addition to Jimmy Butler, who I believe is still in

469
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: his early thirties. But Jimmy Butler, if I'm critim if

470
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, let the league in minutes played for Chicago

471
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: for like five straight years. Tipota drove him into the ground.

472
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna say those things about the Lakers

473
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: age and it's fair, but just makes or that you

474
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: keep the same energy across the NBA with teams like Miami.

475
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: I want to wrap up with a quick quarterback controversy.

476
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have seen it. Oh wait,

477
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: one more Laker joke that just hit me. Um, there

478
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: there are one more Laker old joke that just hit me.

479
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: There are statues outside of Staples that are younger than

480
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: players on the Lakers roster currently. Wow. All right, so, uh,

481
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: quarterback controversy and I gotta this is this is a

482
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: very confusing one for me. I will note I wrote

483
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: a piece for Fox Sports. I think it dropped Friday

484
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: or Thursday teams when you rank their Super Bowl futures

485
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: value one to thirty two, and I said the best

486
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: value was had by the forty Niners plus four d.

487
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: I I could make a deep argument. We'll save it

488
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the season. I like the

489
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: forty Niners a lot this year, bouncing back from the injuries. Um,

490
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: the talent is immense. I mean literally, they were the

491
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: most injured him in the league last year. It's not

492
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: even particularly close. Um, I guess the Eagles were kind

493
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: of close in the Cowboys. But trust me when when

494
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: I eventually rattle off that it was their quarterback, both

495
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: running backs, their top tight end. They're all three receivers.

496
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: Like it was ugly, like all three of their defensive

497
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: ends were toast done for the year by like week five. Now,

498
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable they have a quarterback controversy because Kyle Shanahan,

499
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: who I believe, for the first week and a half

500
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: gave Trey Lance one snap with the first team, has

501
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: decided this week he's going to put in packages for

502
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. Now, I don't know if that's gonna disturb

503
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: whatever equilibrium. I think that's the first time that words

504
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: have been said on this podcast. I don't even I

505
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: don't know what it's gonna do. But I found an analogy.

506
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? And I'm beating everybody the

507
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: punch on this analogy. I'm just saying I'm bullish on

508
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: the Niners this year. I like Jimmy g a lot.

509
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: Remember when he's healthy as a starter with the Niners

510
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: and eight, he's good, He's very good. If you remember

511
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: Mike Vick, he was drafted by the Falcons number one

512
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: overall out of Virginia Tech. Mike Vick goes to the Falcons.

513
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: Chris Chandler is the starter. Jimmy Garoppol is better than

514
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: Chris Chandler. Although I believe Chris Chandler also did go

515
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: to a Super bowl' I want to say he did

516
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: in the nineties. Um, and they got smashed by somebody.

517
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: They got smashed by the Denver Broncos. I believe was

518
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: a Bronco. Was it the forty niners that killed over

519
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine? Because it was the one that from Salon,

520
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: friend of the show played in. He was the he

521
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: was the right tackle for the Atlanta Falcons in that game.

522
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: That's right, it was. It was it. What are the

523
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: Terrell Davis ones? Now, you're gonna make me look it up.

524
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: But bottom mine, Chris Chandler was okay quarterback. They just

525
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to throw Mike Vick at one, fresh out

526
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: of college into the mix as the starter. Uh yeah,

527
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: Chris Chandler was just starting quarterback for the Dirty Birds

528
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: and uh the the Broncos smashed them thirty four nineteen. Correct,

529
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: good call, rob Gie, that's why you're hearing um. But

530
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: Mike Vick didn't just sit there like Pat Mahomes for

531
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: fifteen games and then start the final game and then

532
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: the next season play. Okay, Mike Vick had packages built.

533
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: He appeared in eight games, not every game, but he

534
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: appeared frequently. I think that's gonna be the plan. My

535
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: guess is that's gonna be the plan for trade Lands.

536
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: Now people are gonna roll their eyes. Oh the wildcat

537
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do the read option and all the stuntts. Like,

538
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's a pretty freaking smart guy. Maybe not the

539
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the second half the Super Bowls, but

540
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: he's very intelligent. Kyle Shanahan is a very smart guy.

541
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: Excellent coach. I mean yeah, he his offense kind of

542
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: gagged away the Super Bowl to Tom Brady, the greatest

543
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: quarterback ever. And um, you know his offense, it did

544
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: the same thing against the Chiefs. But the defense matters.

545
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: You know, defense wasn't very good in either of those games.

546
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: Second half. UM. I don't think I'm not comparing Trey

547
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: Lance to Mike Vick. That would be asinine. I was

548
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: at Monster Mike Vick fan. Um, I covered his first

549
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: game in college football. I woke with him at Fox

550
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: not frequently, but I'd see him around. He's super nice guy. Um,

551
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm Mike Vick fan. I I'm ambivalent on

552
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: Trey Lance because I think Garoppolo is good. Unlike a

553
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,160

557
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: I think one of the spiciest storylines is if Jimmy

558
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: G does not get healthy and they make a run

559
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, how hard is it going to

560
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: be to dump him? Or if they win the super Bowl? Now,

561
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: I think we could both agree any other Like you're

562
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: losing the first round, hey man? Oh well it happened.

563
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: Alex Smith went to the playoffs, lost in the first

564
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: round and they dumped him and Patrick Mahomes and the

565
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: rest is history. Like, I just what do you do, Rob?

566
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: I'm thinking way ahead, We're five months ahead. I mean,

567
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm kind of rooting for chaos because it's good for

568
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: this podcast. It's good for my business. Um, it's good

569
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: for your business to Rob, I mean, do you do

570
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: radio so as you know it? Um, it would just

571
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: be pretty phenomenal if Jimmy G could get on that

572
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: magic carpet ride. I don't I can't think of a

573
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: quarterback who's ever been dumped after winning a Super Bowl

574
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: for someone else, right, Peyton Manning wrote Off of the Sunset,

575
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: John Elway rode off into the Sunset. He was dumped,

576
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: yes for Alvis Kerback, no Way, Yes, but then again

577
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: that that Ravens offense was not exactly humming, you know,

578
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: as they would say, Um, let me just say this,

579
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: if they have to resort to the Mike Vick package,

580
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, for Trey Lance, I have a hard time

581
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: imagining that they're winning many games. Oh, come on, winning

582
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: many games? Well, at the clip that you would suggest

583
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: that they're going to win a super Bowl, I think

584
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: seventh best super Bowl odds. Well, okay, if you're if

585
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: the way this whole, this hypothetical setup is what happens

586
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: to Jimmy g if they become a super Bowl contender,

587
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: if they win the Super Bowl, I don't think that

588
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: they are a super Bowl contending team, or if Jimmy

589
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is not playing so well that he would never

590
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: take him off the field, because, as the old saying goes,

591
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: if you have two quarterbacks, you have none, you don't

592
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: have any right. Okay, this is crazy. So I didn't

593
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: even realize it. So I just looked up the Trent

594
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: Bill for things. First of all, he wasn't the starter

595
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: of the full season. No, it was Banks, Tony Banks, right,

596
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: So I just noticed dil for one seven and one

597
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: down the stretch. So it looks like the starter was

598
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was Tony Banks. Yes, I don't so.

599
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: Was he benched or was he he got hurt? He

600
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: got hurt and Trent took over. I know we got

601
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: a lot of Baltimore Ravens fans out there. Um, so

602
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,719
Speaker 1: Trent Dilford goes seven and one and they dump him

603
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: and then he lands in Seattle. Um, it looks like

604
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: it's a backup. Yeah. I I don't think anybody considers

605
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo on the Trent Dilford level. I think everybody

606
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: would agree. Bill Belichick drafted him and the four Niners

607
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: gave him a big, big money deal. I think most

608
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: people would agree Jimmy Garoppolo is Is he a top

609
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: twenty quarterback in the league? Roun? Whoa? What's not healthy enough?

610
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: Right now? Everybody's healthy? Is he a top quar quarto?

611
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean everybody? Sure? Sure? Would you rather have or

612
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: any of the three guys in Chicago? God, Jimmy Garoppolo,

613
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: that's a low bar. Come on, man. The Bears went

614
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year with the combination of Troubinsky

615
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: and I think Foals. If you were the Saints, would

616
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: you rather have j Miss Winston or Jimmy Garoppolo Jameis Winston.

617
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe you just said Jimmy Garoppolo is wildly mediocre.

618
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: If you're if your if your coach who is a

619
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: quarterback guru is only trusting you to throw the ball

620
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: eight times in a playoff game, that kind of tells

621
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: me Ill you need to know about him. This is

622
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: one of the weird things in the industry. I just

623
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: I've gone back and forth on Garoppolo and I remember

624
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: using that eight passes against him, um as like a, well,

625
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: is he really built for it? And now I've just

626
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: got a resort And I know quarterback wins is a

627
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: silly stat, but I don't know. Do you want to

628
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: see his touchdown to interception ratio and you want to

629
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: see his complete supercentage? Just ki are like, I mean,

630
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: a guy at fourth quarter cup four or fourth quarter

631
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: comebacks the year they went to the Super Bowl tied

632
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: for the league lead according to Pro Football Reference, like,

633
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: Garoppolo's pretty damn good, dude. I don't know how you

634
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: say anything. You know who else has stats like that

635
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: is Ryan Fitzpatrick. I'm sure he has. Every three or

636
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: four years he shows up stop. That's exactly what Jimmy Garoppolo.

637
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo had one every three or four years. I

638
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: have a feeling. Let me go through the n we'll

639
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: wrap up on this. I'll go through the standings, and

640
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: you tell me, would you rather have Jimmy Garoppolo starting

641
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: this year or whoever they have? Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts, who,

642
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: by the way, has looked like dogshit apparently in training

643
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: camp so far. Jalen Hurts or Jimmy G. Jimmy this

644
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: one's gonna hurt too, or Jimmy g. Oh, I totally disagree.

645
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm not a fan of two um Cam

646
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: Newton or Jimmy G. Jimmy I'm not gonna denigrate the

647
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: Jets and mentioned what's his face? Let's see Tennessee. Well,

648
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: I guess Tannehill is playing. Oh, here we go Colts,

649
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, Jacob Eason or Jimmy g or Carson Wentz

650
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: it hurt, So I can't count Carson Wentz Jimmy g

651
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: by default because Carson once it's hurt. Uh. Houston Texans who,

652
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: according to one guy who car was covering the team forever,

653
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm spacing on his name. Deshaun Watson will never play

654
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: it down for the Texans, so that leaves dun Dun

655
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: dun dune, Tyrod Taylor or Jimmy G. That would be

656
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: to Rod Taylor, shout out to hard knocks, and I

657
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: would roll with Jimmy G. Okay Denver Broncos they don't

658
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: know who they're gonna start. Drew Locker, Teddy Bridgewater or

659
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Teddy Bridgewater. Oh stop it, I think what

660
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: what's troubling rob Is? I said he is? Is he

661
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: a top twenty quarterback? And he was like no, like

662
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: six teams in the A f C. And We're like,

663
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: look man, Jimmy G is the definition of mediocre. What

664
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: about what's what's Derek Carr? Derek Carr is much better

665
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: than Jimmy GI. Jimmy G had with the quarterback whisperer.

666
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: Remember remember what everyone says about Kyle Shanahan. No way

667
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: on planet Earth am My giving Teddy Bridge water? The

668
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: not over Jimmy G uh in the oh, this is

669
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: a layup. Danny Dimes or Jimmy G. Jim G fits

670
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: fits tragic or Jimmy G. Don't don't do don't many

671
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: stop it. You gotta do your best chance to win. Man. Oh,

672
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: Jared Goff for Jimmy G. Shoot, see this is what

673
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean. Like you, it sounds like Jimmy G's garbage.

674
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams where he would be the starter.

675
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding, or at least contend for the starter.

676
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: Be the right number for you. I think Sam Donald,

677
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Jimmy, Jimmy I know everybody hates Donald. Um.

678
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: I won't talk about Kirk Cousins. Uh, we've got a

679
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: moratorium on no more Cousins comments. All right, Rob, I'm

680
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: gonna wrap up with this. This is a real This

681
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: is not sports, and I buried it late because I

682
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: don't want like the you know, the weirdo mob to

683
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: come after me. There's a real paragraph from The New

684
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: York Times on Monday. One employee said she was concerned

685
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: because she thought a vaccine had called as the characters

686
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: in the film I Am Legend to turn into zombies.

687
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: People opposed to vaccines have circulated that claim about the

688
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: movie's plot widely on social media, but the plague that

689
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: turned people into zombies in the movie was caused by

690
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: a genetically reprogrammed virus, not by a vaccine. Rob, I

691
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: just want you to wrap your head around that being

692
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: an actual paragraph in the New York Times. Have you

693
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: done that? Now? Have you? Have you done that? Okay, folks,

694
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: were gonna we're gonna close out all that. I don't

695
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: want Rob laughing. I I do not. I'm not adding

696
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: any commentary and just gonna let that lay. I'm just

697
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna put it out there. Y'all have a great day.

698
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow.
