Jeff, it is great to talk 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: to you again twenty four hours away. A little more 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: from teeing it up. What am I going to expect 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: when I bring my subpower average golf game to one 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: of the world's most classic and best courses. 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: Well, you better have the Well, there's gonna be a 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: lot of things awaiting you, depending on if you're going left, 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: right or straight. Listen, the La Country Club is just 19 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: the north course. There is going to be a fabulous 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: venue for the US Open. You'll get a real good 21 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: look at it tomorrow as well many others. There's just 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: so many talking points with this golf course. George Thomas, 23 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: brilliant architecture, the strategy of it. But I think the 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: first thing that hits you when you stand on that 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: first tee for the first for the first time you've 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: pulled up the gate. You get over to the first 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: tee and you know, you see this natural setting and 28 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: how it flows through the property as you get into 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 2: your round. But if you look just above the tree line, 30 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: there's the Beverly Hilton. So you've got this tremendously natural 31 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: setting with this baranca that runs through the front nine 32 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: in the middle of you know, an urban environment. It's 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: really it's really quite a juxtaposition of the two. 34 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: Well with Beverly Hills there. You mentioned the Hilton, you 35 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: got the Playboy mansion. I mean, you've got the nineteenth 36 00:01:59,200 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: all set up. 37 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going to have to I guess the Playboy 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: mansions on the fourteen ts, so you better, I guess 39 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: it depends how well you do on the first thirteen holes, 40 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: as if you're going to be distracted or not. But 41 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: you know that this golf course is just wonderful. The 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: unique routing of the golf course. Thomas really built in 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: a bit of an ebb and a flow. You know, 44 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: you get to the first hole and Dan, given your stature, 45 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll start on one. You'll you'll be right 46 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: there and you know you've had to ease into your round. 47 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: It's a pretty player friendly shollwy sat par five opportunity. 48 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: But the best players in the world, they drive it 49 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 2: in the fairway. All of them will have an opportunity 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: to reach your bringing too. But then you get to 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: the second tee and you start some adult golf. Right there, 52 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: that's a that's a big golf hole, just under five 53 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 2: hundred yards, tiny green Baranka runs right in the front. 54 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: It's it's just that ebb and flow. And there's so 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: many examples with the sixth hole, very gettable. Part four. 56 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: Listen again, a bunch of these guys, maybe all of 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: them will have the ability to drive the green. But 58 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: you get through that hole and then you stand on 59 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 2: seven and full leak out two hundred and eighty yard 60 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: par three. And let's let's talk about the routing. Pretty 61 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: new five par threes, three par fives. Now, that's that's 62 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 2: pretty unusual for a US Open. And the par threes. 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: This collection of par threes is just simply outstanding, as 64 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 2: good as any collection of par threes of a US 65 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: Open golf course. That we played the fifteenth hole, you 66 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: may recall, Dan, we've played in the Walker Cup. We 67 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: played in at about eighty yards, and then then you 68 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: can go to the eleventh hole and play it three 69 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: hundred yards. It's just outstanding. With a flexibility we have, 70 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: we'll set up different seas, whole locations Thomas talks about 71 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: of course within a course and the fifth hole, I 72 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: don't know where. I'll try to get some scouting reportand 73 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: where the whole locations are for you, Dan, because I 74 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: know you like to mentally play that. 75 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Jeff, Absolutely, you know it's great because you and 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: I actually I know you've played tons of rounds a 77 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: goof We were in the same group at the Walker 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: Cup media day six years ago. I played absolutely out 79 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: of my mind. Okay, like it was out of my mind. 80 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: It was an otherworldly experience. But I also remember how 81 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: giddy you were, especially on those par threes. And when 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: you talk about fifteen, is it gonna play under one 83 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: hundred yards in mid June? Like, is that part of 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: the plan for you guys to have it at ninety 85 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: five yards for one of the days. 86 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: Do you think any of the players are listening right 87 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: now On the West. 88 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: Coast, they're probably sleeping, But everywhere else, yes, maybe. 89 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: So let's put it this way. There is a lot 90 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: of flexibility in that hole and we will use it. 91 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 92 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: I'm pretty confident you'll see at least in one day 93 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: when it will play under one hundred yards, no doubt 94 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: about it can. Again, we got to have the weather right, 95 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: you know, all of the winds, various things that we'll 96 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: have to manage the setup, which but that's something we 97 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: do all the time. You can have a plan, but 98 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 2: then mother nature gets to see to the table too, 99 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: so you have to you know, work around that. But 100 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 2: there's an opportunity to play that hole very short and 101 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: I think we will seize upon that opportunity. 102 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: Yes, Fox Sports Sunday. Here Fox Sports Radio Mike Carmin 103 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: alongside Dan Byer. Our guest USGA is managing Director of 104 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 3: Rules and Open Championships. It's Jeff Hall with us here. 105 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: He's ready to be the muse for Dan Byer again 106 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 3: on media day tomorrow. To that end, you're talking Jeff 107 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 3: a lot about the configurations and and the the fun 108 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 3: on the par threes when you go through in the 109 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 3: planning stage, and obviously mother nature put her off to 110 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 3: the side for the moment. But just in those planning 111 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: meetings and debates of how to configure things, how long 112 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 3: does it take to actually come to consensus. 113 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: On that, Well, it's definitely a process. Definitely a process 114 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 2: might be you know, there's set we have a set 115 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: up team. There'll be about I guess eight or nine 116 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 2: of us, including Darren Bivard who's our director of Championship 117 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 2: for Gromby, John Bodenhammer who's my Boston's ultimately responsible for it. 118 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: Scott Langley, who played on tour for a number of 119 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: years and as our uh new to our staff, took 120 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: the spots that Jason Gore had with player relations, so 121 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: that we get a lot of input as we go through. 122 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: But it you see, again you've developed a plan. I've 123 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: actually done so already. We we did our preliminary whole 124 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: locations during a visit in March. We had obviously some 125 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: good data from the Walker Cup. Different time of year 126 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 2: September to June, but it was a good starting point 127 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: for us. So you know, we mapped out those whole 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: locations and uh and then refined some of those a 129 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: little different match play versus stroke play. So we've got 130 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 2: a plan that will work on and we will put 131 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: all the whole locations out Thursday and Friday. Now there's 132 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: no flying drones over the property to get that information, 133 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: and you know, we'll put that out and look at 134 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: it and we'll finesse this, we'll finesse that. What do 135 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: you think about this? And we've got a few holes 136 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: where we've got some alternate whole locations that that seuse. 137 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: You know, there's really six good whole locations here, which four. 138 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: Do we use? 139 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: So there's still a lot of work to do. And 140 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: then you know, sometimes you're matching up the whole location 141 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: with the t's you want to use. I mentioned a 142 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: moment earlier about Thomas with his designs building a course 143 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: within a course. The fifth hole wonderful part for there's 144 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: this little nook and cranny in the front right of 145 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: the greens just screaming out for a whole location. So 146 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: you know, say mow it, we'll use it. But it 147 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: calls for the tea to be shorter because they should 148 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: have a shorter club so that they can take on 149 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: that whole location and it'll be fascinating to watch. How 150 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: you know, the players this modern game that is played 151 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: now tackle Los Angeles Country Club and some of the 152 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: nuanced that's that's in the golf course. It's gonna be 153 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: fun to see. I mean, you know that's another thing too, 154 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: to keep in mind, there's not a lot of guys 155 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: that know this golf course very well. Yeah yeah, some 156 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: some played in the Walker Cup, some played in college. Uh, 157 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: but it's it's going to be fascinating. It's uh got 158 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: a lot of guys come over during the Genesis, and 159 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 2: I suspect during advance week, the week before the Open, 160 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: we'll have some people popping in. 161 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: I can hear the gate announcements happening, so I know 162 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: you're about to board a flight. But final question before 163 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: we let you go, Jeff, are we going to continue 164 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: with these secret groupings? The hidden meanings?

We're going to do 191 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: the sixth hole, which is Jeff talked about, is the 192 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: short par four which you could let's be real. I'm 193 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: not going to birdy the hole, but you could be 194 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: anywhere from a par to a triple bogie or a quad. 195 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: We're going to do that one, and then we're going 196 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: to do the short par three fifteenth, the one that 197 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: could play at ninety five yards. So I think that 198 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: you've got At one point when I did this, Mike, 199 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: I thought that I would have a range of scores 200 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: between like four and ten, and I ended up having 201 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: like two sevens. It was atrocious. There was so much 202 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: pressure on trying not to embarrass myself that I not 203 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: only embarrassed myself, I doubled down. But if you want 204 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: to guess what I'm going to do on the par 205 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: four and the par three combined the two scores, tweet 206 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: us at Swollendome at dan Byer on Fox, and if 207 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: you get it right on the head and if you're 208 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: the only one, you're gonna win a little US Open 209 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: prize pack. 210 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: For me, Well, I have to figure out a tie 211 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: breaks as the show goes on to. 212 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: Dominy curse words I use on the whole. 213 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 3: The tiebreaker that we're under set at twenty seven and 214 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 3: nine over those two rules for the round, who knows 215 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: now here's here's a question I have to ask as 216 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: the the ignorant, and this is a setup question, you know, 217 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: along Jeff joking about the drones, like, so do they 218 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: take it out of rotation to where you can't golf 219 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 3: there until the championship has played? Or is this the 220 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: kind of thing like if someone wanted some advanced recon 221 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: you had to wear a fake mustache in a wing 222 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 3: and maybe go, hey, go play around with you. 223 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: Remember if you're if you are a Justin Thomas, if 224 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: you are a Jordan Speith, definitely, if you're Tiger Woods, 225 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: who won't be very likely won't be playing after the 226 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: recent surgery that he had. If you are those players, 227 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: that level of player, you can get an advanced look 228 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: a month or two. And yeah, these courses do shut 229 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: down for membership. There are some the championships won't open 230 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: until the the the championship is over, so they may 231 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: miss two months of their season if they're hosting it, 232 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: but you try to limit the amount of traffic. I 233 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: would assume that they are doing the same at LA 234 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: Country Club. I don't know the exact you know, the 235 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: exact date that they're going to shut it down, but 236 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: this is you know this is not gonna be carts 237 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: out there. You can keep everything off the n Yeah. Absolutely. 238 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: Well. 239 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: The curiosity also right talking about weather in June is 240 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: how much they've had to kind of as the process 241 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 3: went on, given the level of rains and issues we've 242 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: had here in southern California. Now it's slowed up a 243 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: little bit, it's missed it a couple of days the 244 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: last week or so. But thinking about what that might 245 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 3: have done to a course, and that that natural shit 246 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: and how soft it might have gotten off of all 247 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 3: that rain. 248 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: It's one of the things we did. We didn't get 249 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: to with Jeff. But when they've had West Coast US opens, 250 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: specifically Tory Pines two years ago, we know they go 251 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: back to Pebble Beach every seven or years. They were 252 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: last there in twenty nineteen. You're on a body of 253 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: water that is the Pacific Ocean, and so you can 254 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: get favorable conditions La Country Club, even though in Los 255 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: Angeles it's not on the ocean. And you know, I 256 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: know I lived in Santa Monica for a while. There 257 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: are days where it is sixty degrees in overcast and 258 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: you just get to the foural five and it's eighty 259 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: five degrees, and LA Country Club is just on the 260 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: other side of the four or five if you're familiar 261 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: with Los Angeles and southern California, So that the blanket 262 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: of maybe comfort of having a marine layer of keeping 263 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: the temperatures down may not play into the effect of 264 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: what you get at LA Country Club because it's not 265 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: right on the coast, and you can have that marine 266 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: layer stop and it can be eighty five to ninety degrees, 267 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: and yeah, could affect play well. 268 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: We talk about the jew and gloom all the time, 269 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: right yeah, in the beach City is about fifteen miles 270 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 3: south of Los Angeles International Airport. For those that have 271 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 3: traveled out here for Disney or whatever, you've done business 272 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: all across and it's always the June bloom, which means, 273 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 3: you know, early in the morning it's overcast and people 274 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 3: grouse and complain, and that it breaks somewhere between one 275 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 3: and three in the afternoon. May have a similar effect 276 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: a little further off the coast, but that same kind 277 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 3: of variability that comes in being in this area. So 278 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 3: it's a curiosity for sure. I love that he's ready 279 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 3: to tee it up with you. I think you're going 280 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: to get a lot of play on the USGS site 281 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: when it's all so done. 282 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: I think they're going to probably put more higher luminaries 283 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: than me with Jeff. But if I get to play 284 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: again in the same. 285 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 286 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 4: the nation.

We still have another thirty five 292 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: questions that we could have gone deep, So eventually we'll 293 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 3: get them to sit down do a podcast for a 294 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 3: deep dive or something like that, because there's just so much, 295 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: so much I'm intrigued, right, whatever is something like this 296 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 3: comes to your city. I mean we watched it in 297 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 3: Kansas City with the draft where you're estimating three hundred, 298 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: four hundred thousand people. Jason didn't like the Kansas City celebration, 299 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: like they're the champs.

Did you need 302 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 3: to see Travis Kelcey again yesterday. Maybe not, but you did, 303 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: and so get over it. Likewise, when stuff like this 304 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 3: comes to town, and we certainly have plenty of events, 305 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: and we'll get into the Lakers survive in advance in 306 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 3: the playoffs and everybody getting on board in a minute. 307 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: But it's that kind of thing when when you have 308 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: major events and can host major events, it starts to 309 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: juice up your town and anybody that college football, whatever 310 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: it is that gets you. I mean, watching you light 311 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 3: up up as we brought jeff in is about as 312 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: good as it gets because there is that passion for 313 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,239 Speaker 3: the game. We all love sports. I think your association 314 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 3: with golf, and you're very, very good and self deprecating 315 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: about your ability to play.

This is a perfect example. And La 328 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: country Club is different than Tory Pines because La country 329 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: Club is a private course, it's exclusive.

And entering the NBA playoffs, 509 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: Mike I felt that there were three series that we 510 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: were really focused on, Sun's Clippers, Lakers Grizzlies, and King's Warriors. 511 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: And let's be honest, Kawhi gets hurt, Suns Clippers phases 512 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: out doesn't have the same Lakers Grizzlies did provide a 513 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: lot of conversation at the start from Dylan Brooks, not 514 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: at the end. But the Kings Warriors series, it's been 515 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: it's been the drama that you talked about that maybe 516 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: happening with the Warriors. It's just the level of play 517 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: that you've had. It's also just the rhythm of the series. 518 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: Kings go up two to oh, Warriors fight back three 519 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: to two can close it out? Kings respond. I mean 520 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: it is a heavyweight about and they're trading punches and 521 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 1: we're now into the championship Browns. It's been awesome and 522 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: it's just happened organically. It's why I love it well. 523 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 3: And a Game six in the middle of the NFL Draft, 524 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 3: the story going on, I want to call it Staples 525 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 3: at Crypto dot Com with the Lakers and the beatdown 526 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: that they put on on Memphis that this we had 527 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 3: a no show effort by the defending champs at home. Right, 528 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 3: that was the most confusing game watching that transpire. There's 529 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 3: there was never a doubt, right, mini runs, but nothing 530 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: to where you felt the Kings were ever threatened in 531 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 3: that game. And now you go to a Game seven. 532 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 3: All the narratives are well known about the Warriors and 533 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: their road struggles all season, but you know what, they 534 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 3: got game five and they've been here this before. But 535 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 3: does history matter or is it an advantage that you 536 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 3: don't know that and you just go play basketball. 537 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: I think the Kings can play loose, I really do. 538 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: I think all of the pressure is on Golden State today. 539 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 3: Live here from the tire rac dot Com studios he's 540 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 3: Dan Bayer. I'm Mike Carmen, and you'll hate me because 541 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 3: I actually had the heat winning first series. You can 542 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 3: yell at me off. Coming up next back into the 543 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 3: NFL Draft.

I love you. Just no, no, in the 563 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: belief that I will score those two holes in one 564 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: over par correct appreciated. 565 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 3: We need to pull it back because we brought this 566 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 3: out no Hour number one. This is going to be 567 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 3: a contest. Dan is going to go play as part 568 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 3: of media day tomorrow as we get ready for the 569 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 3: Championships to come here in June. 570 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: Yes, and I think that's very, very fortunate to be 571 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: able to tee it up, and I want to have 572 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: fun with it, and I want to be able to 573 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: bring others along with us in having that fun. And 574 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: while everybody can't play, you could at least maybe have 575 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: a part of it in guessing what I'm going to 576 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: score on the par four to sixth hole measuring three 577 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five yards and the par three to 578 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: fifteenth hole, which Jeff Hall said during the Championship could 579 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: be under one hundred yards, it could be ninety five yards. 580 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: They did it in the Walker Cup for one of 581 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: the days. We could see it in mid June as well. Well. 582 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 1: But it's listed on the scorecard at one hundred and 583 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: twenty five yards, where I wasn't gonna do any brutes Mike, 584 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: even though that if we're playing a hole that's four 585 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards for someone like me, I'm probably 586 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: not gonna burdy it. But there may be the chance 587 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: that just on one of these two holes, who knows 588 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: that the shot of my life and allows for a 589 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: more wide ranging array of scores. And if you get 590 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: it correctly, if you get the score correctly, if you're 591 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: one of those and you tie others, we'll have a 592 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: random drawing for who gets the US Open item. Don't 593 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: know what it is yet, but I'll have more information 594 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: on it tomorrow. 595 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 3: US Open coming to the La Country Club June fifteenth 596 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 3: through eighteenth. Now, if it goes sideways and the hole 597 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 3: is just not working, are you going to lean into it? 598 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 3: Since you're doing video of it from the sixth or 599 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 3: the fifteenth, I don't know where we start getting pool 600 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 3: ques or running around like Jenny j is. 601 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: Going problem with the video. I did this at Aaron 602 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: Hills back in the home land of Wisconsin a few 603 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: years ago, and it was some of the most embarrassing 604 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: moments have ever had because I put it in a bunker, 605 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: could not get out of the bunker. 606 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: On Now you're saying the ball as opposed to our 607 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 3: guy JJ Watt last week who physically couldn't get out 608 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 3: of the bunker. 609 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: The ball which I felt like I wanted to be 610 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: in the bunker and bury myself. I then drove it 611 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: in the junk on the Power four fifteenth toll. Not 612 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: that we're going shot for shot.

Sweet It's it was Mike. 615 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: There was just so much pressure because I knew the 616 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: scores that I knew people were invested, and so there 617 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: was some pressure. And I even told the guys, I'm like, 618 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: I can't do this again because it just completely throws 619 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: me off my game.

It's 667 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 3: the old how do you know a lawyers lying his 668 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 3: lips are moving kind of thing that we we had 669 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 3: the game of Liar's Poker that every team plays subterfuge. 670 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 3: You have to still meet with your local media and 671 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 3: you throw out some little nuggets here and there, and 672 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 3: and and people are going to take the baits stuff 673 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 3: on social media, stuff you leak, leak to reporters, and 674 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 3: let's face it, virtually everybody gets used as a pawn 675 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 3: at some point during the I can't I can't say 676 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 3: one hundred percent, but I am. We've been in this 677 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 3: long enough to know, Uh, someone's got a contact from 678 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 3: within an organization or a player's agent or whatever that 679 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 3: that's leading you down a path. Now with CJ. Stroud, 680 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 3: a lot of conversations that come through before Houston does 681 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 3: make him the number two pick in the draft. You 682 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 3: have this S two test that leaks and what you 683 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 3: suffice to say didn't do well on that. He addressed 684 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 3: it saying, look, I my take is my tape. Maybe 685 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 3: I'm not a good test taker. My tests are going 686 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 3: to be on Sunday's kind of thing. You've got the 687 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 3: Ohio state legacy of quarterbacks. Yes that anybody that claims 688 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 3: that that's not going to be part of a decision 689 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 3: making process is kidding themselves. Why did Alabama quarterbacks that 690 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 3: were winning really well and consistently in college consistently fall 691 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 3: before Hurts? Before Tua you had a long Hey, these 692 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 3: guys are winning, but they're going in the middle of 693 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 3: the you know, the draft or undrafted altogether. And now 694 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 3: you have CJ. Stroud with all of those questions coming in, 695 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 3: and then we had the Will Levis and the betting 696 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 3: odds were kind of going all over the place. But 697 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 3: Houston ultimately makes him the number two pick. And as 698 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 3: we always talk about these things and life choices in general, 699 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 3: you got a giant algorithm. You may not write it out. 700 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 3: You may not have coefficients that you have discernible as 701 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 3: if you're playing in your portfolio and sitting down with 702 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 3: a wealth advisor risk assessment, risk management. You know when 703 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 3: you go to the actuarial table if you're buying life 704 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 3: insurance or home insurance, you know that there's different variables 705 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 3: based on where you live, weather conditions, whatever. But we 706 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 3: go through and we try to put our thinking hats 707 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 3: on and trying to read the minds of GM's owners 708 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 3: and how they participate. Some of its gut, some of 709 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 3: its game film, some of it is the old wonder lick. Now, 710 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 3: this s two tests, and every team's going to wait 711 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 3: stuff differently, and as we always say, it only takes 712 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 3: one thirty one. Other teams may have just said, you 713 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 3: know what, up in that valuation? If we're up there 714 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 3: at I don't know that he could be that high. 715 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 3: You know what it took it took Houston to just say, 716 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 3: you know what, that's our guy. 717 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: I thought when those scores were leaked that it came 718 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: from the Colts. Like I thought the Colts put it 719 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: out there because they wanted to take CJ. Strode in Division. Yes, right, well, 720 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: I thought, like for the lead up, like what do 721 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: you do? What does a team do? They want to 722 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: make sure that if Maybe my thinking was the Colts 723 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: loved c J. Stroud and they wanted c J. Stroud 724 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: to be their guy. That was my thinking when these 725 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: scores were released prior to the draft, because Mike I thought, 726 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: what team is going to benefit from this information where 727 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: c J. Stroud now could fall into the draft or 728 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: fall in the draft, and I thought it was the Colts. 729 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: Like they then they wouldn't have to move up. Listen, 730 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: it would be difficult for them to move up to 731 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: two anyway because of the division opponent scenario. I don't 732 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: know how much the Texans would want to do business 733 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: with the Cults. 734 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 3: It would have to be a gross overpay. Yes, yes, 735 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 3: it unlike anything we'd seen. 736 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: And if you trade up to to three with Arizona, 737 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,439 Speaker 1: I don't know what that gets yet, but I thought 738 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: that the Colts sent it out or that if there, 739 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: if there was the league. I'm not accusing the Colts. 740 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to put two and two together. Yeah, 741 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: but what what what happened was CJ. Stroud goes too, 742 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: so it didn't matter like the Texans, there would be 743 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: no reason. We knew that bright Young was likely going 744 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: number one. And you're trying to find things, you're trying 745 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: to poke holes, you're trying to look at stuff. I'll 746 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: tell you what was one of the toughest things that 747 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: I thought was against c J. Stroud is Mike At 748 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: times he made it look too easy and and and 749 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it was because he was throwing it to 750 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior and throwing it to Chris Olave and 751 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigma and Garrett Wilson. But I'll tell 752 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: you what you know. 753 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 2: C J. 754 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 1: Stroud is doing a lot of that work. And when 755 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: they didn't have a running back in that national semifinal 756 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: game against Georgia, all of a sudden, c J. Stroud, 757 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: who didn't run for a good three quarters of his career, 758 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,959 Speaker 1: did later on in this past season, becomes a running back, 759 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: and I mean let the team in carries that he 760 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: that he had the national and then the semi final 761 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: almost called the national semi final, but in the college 762 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: football playoffs semi final, and that's like I thought at times, 763 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: he made it look too easy and that there wasn't 764 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 1: anything to draw you in. I think he's going to 765 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: be fine. I think he's going to be great in Houston. 766 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: I think the division stinks, you know, and I think 767 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: everybody does. So now all of a sudden, you have 768 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: this chance to immediately compete. I like to pick I 769 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: mean I really do. I thought he was the best quarterback. 770 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: I would have taken Stroud over Bryce Young. 771 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 3: And that was one of the great debates. But I 772 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 3: think it plays into, as you said, making it look 773 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 3: too easy goes back to the Alabama quarterback, Well, you're winning, right, 774 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 3: goes back to Ohio State. Well, you're always seen as 775 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,479 Speaker 3: having this plethora of talent. I mean, look at Lekat 776 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 3: Jackson's Smith and Jigba. He was a guy a couple 777 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 3: of years ago because you mentioned Garrett Wilson, you mentioned 778 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 3: Chris a lot. I mean, you go through it's like 779 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,439 Speaker 3: there's only so much you're gonna be able to show. 780 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 3: So people like, oh you did this, and they was 781 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 3: like this is where he goes like, well, you're playing 782 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 3: a role based on the other personnel that are there. Likewise, 783 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 3: if you're CJ. Stroud, you've got a wealth of top 784 00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 3: notch five star recruits playing around. That's good and obviously productivity. 785 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 3: But then going to the pros when you do have 786 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 3: a number of guys that have come out of either 787 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 3: your school or similar Right, go back to Patrick Mahomes 788 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 3: if we want. In twenty seventeen, right, the pinball numbers 789 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 3: as like, well, most of the quarterbacks, virtually all the 790 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 3: quarterbacks that have come out of this conference have fizzled 791 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 3: because they don't play defense in that conference. 792 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: Yes, I didn't think it would work for Mahomes. I 793 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: did not think in my amateur thinking, Mike air Raid, 794 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: you know, it's just not it's not going to work 795 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And now now look what 796 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 1: it's done. I think Ryan Day's system is more allows 797 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: you to have success in the NFL. Fields is such 798 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: a you know, like remember when Justin Fields was at Georgia, 799 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,439 Speaker 1: they weren't playing him because he couldn't throw the football. 800 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: So then the next year goes to Ohio State and 801 00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: I know Jake from was at the time, but then 802 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: he throws the football. But there is also this this 803 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: growing period and you know it as a Bears fan, 804 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,760 Speaker 1: like he is going to have to take the next step. 805 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: I CJ. Stroud is way further along than Justin Fields 806 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: was in entering the NFL when it comes to pass 807 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: like it's it's night and there the day. They're two 808 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: completely different quarterbacks. And so the history of the Ohio 809 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: State quarterback should never have been a criticism, a legitimate criticism, 810 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 1: or a reason not to draft CJ. Stroud. 811 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing, when you go draft room to 812 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 3: draft room, you've got myriad agendas at play right, safe 813 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 3: pick because maybe the last couple of seasons, if you're 814 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 3: especially if you're drafting high right, you've had some stuff 815 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 3: go wrong. 816 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: Yes right. 817 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 3: For all of the love to Chris Ballard, and you 818 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 3: know he's a media darling. He's failed multiple times. Going 819 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 3: back to the honest conversation earlier in the week, like 820 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 3: you went and bought stuff gap veteran quarterbacks with a 821 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 3: pretty good roster, and I've joked all along. I like 822 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 3: Ballard's roster construction and losing Shaquille Leonard formally Darius before 823 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 3: last season obviously doesn't help. But the idea that you 824 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 3: went and took multiple bites of the apple of thirty 825 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 3: five plus year old quarterbacks or guys that have been 826 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 3: jettisoned for myriad reasons before that you don't get to 827 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 3: pick the quarterbacks anymore. But he's a guy that's kind 828 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 3: of on the hot seat. 829 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: So what do you do. 830 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 3: You go get the guy that everybody says is it 831 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:37,359 Speaker 3: can't miss prospect in Anthony richardson right variability. But he's 832 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 3: the guy that fits checks all the boxes from the 833 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 3: traditional draft board, and so you draft him. But in Houston, 834 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 3: Saria's in charge, there was a power vacuum for a 835 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 3: long time. You got a first year head coach. You're 836 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 3: playing with a little more swing, I think in terms 837 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 3: of what you can do as opposed to maybe Ballard. 838 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 3: He had to take the sexy pick at four, you know. 839 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: And the thing that I think about Ballard is I 840 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: think he's gotten more leeway because I don't think that 841 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 1: you move off of him and then if things don't 842 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: go well in year one. I don't think you move 843 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 1: off of him and leave Shane Stike in as almost 844 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 1: a lame duck. You know, a new regime comes in 845 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: that's very difficult. You allow him to hire the head coach. 846 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: I think it buys you a couple of years Ryan 847 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: Pace Chicago in a similar situation. What I do see 848 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis is it's not a Shane 849 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: Steiken thing about. It is a Chris Ballard thing. Is 850 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 1: similar to John Harbaugh as the head coach of the 851 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: Ravens when Lamar Jackson ended up. We forget that John 852 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: Harball was on the hot seat when Joe Frasco was 853 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:47,240 Speaker 1: playing that season and Lamar saved his job in essence, 854 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 1: because now Harball plays Lamar and they have success, and 855 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: now Harball's attached to that and John Harball is still 856 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 1: the coach of the Ravens. If Anthony Richardson has any 857 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: sort of success, it wipes everything that you believe in 858 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,800 Speaker 1: that I've talked with you about about Ballard's previous history, 859 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 1: moves it aside because now Anthony Richardson is the guy. 860 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 3: Well, it's part two. Yep, it is right before it 861 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 3: was roster builder couldn't get the quarterback. Right now he's 862 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,959 Speaker 3: got a new era, so you kind of split them. Yeah, 863 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 3: for Harbaugh, if Lamar Jackson hadn't re signed with all 864 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 3: of his outward love or whatever, you might have been 865 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 3: back creeping towards the temperature rising. Again, Let's talk about 866 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, because that's a story that happened on the 867 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 3: Draft first night and kind of got pushed to the 868 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 3: side a little bit because while it became all about 869 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 3: how sad is will Lovis in the green room, he's 870 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 3: Dan Byron, Mike Carba.

Yes, that's the win in and 899 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,720 Speaker 3: of itself. Good though exactly damn it, Bobby, I should 900 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 3: have hit that shot to the left. All right. So 901 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson gets his deal five years two sixty one 902 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 3: eighty five Guaranteed beats the jail and Hurts contract, and 903 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 3: that resolved itself on Thursday morning. Saw Jay Glazer tweet 904 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 3: about it, and he saw the litany of folks, uh, 905 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 3: you know, as they put that out, and it was 906 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 3: one of those moments where I'm like, damn it, there's 907 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,840 Speaker 3: another story, because I actually literally had finished a spot 908 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 3: in Baltimore and they asked me what I thought. I go, well, 909 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 3: I think eventually you guys come to settle. So I 910 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 3: felt good. But it's like, if things go awry and 911 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 3: this doesn't get done before the draft and the Colts 912 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 3: don't get the guy they want, maybe they're in play 913 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,799 Speaker 3: for a post draft sign trade, all this kind of 914 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 3: fun stuff that you go through. But for me, it 915 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 3: was always pulling back on the Nino Brown, always business, 916 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 3: never personal. Going back to the classic nineteen eighty nine 917 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 3: New Jack City or was it ninety one ninety one 918 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,800 Speaker 3: maybe anyway, the idea being that you've got a guy running, 919 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 3: oh he's running drugs out of an apartment complex. But 920 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,280 Speaker 3: the idea is leave a check emotion at the door. It's, 921 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,839 Speaker 3: you know, the brad Pitted vice in Ocean's eleven when 922 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,840 Speaker 3: they're playing poker or whatever, and that they sent Lamar 923 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 3: Jackson out they couldn't come to the deal. Fine, maybe 924 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 3: requested a trade how strongly. That was fine, I'm out 925 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 3: of here. But it's like, go off, see what the 926 00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 3: other thirty one flavors will do to accommodate, and then 927 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 3: we're here. So it takes some of that personal sting 928 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 3: of the no agent, no whatever, because you had to 929 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 3: feel it from the other teams right when calls either 930 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 3: came and didn't go anywhere or didn't come at all. 931 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 3: That eventually calmerheads, prevail draft is coming. What are we doing? 932 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,720 Speaker 3: Let's talk reasonable money, and he's fifty million dollars north 933 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 3: of whatever was reportedly and he said it a while 934 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:32,240 Speaker 3: back of five years, one hundred and thirty three significantly north, 935 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 3: not to Sean Watson money. But I think anybody who's 936 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 3: reasonable always thought that that was an asenine deal signed 937 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 3: by a desperate squad. 938 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:47,359 Speaker 1: Yes, and I think that your point is is spot on. 939 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:53,399 Speaker 1: It is very astute in the It's just business, it's 940 00:48:53,440 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: not personal, and the Ravens, I felt, never ever made 941 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 1: it personal with Lamar. 942 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,240 Speaker 3: They still spoke glowingly about him at every turn. 943 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,760 Speaker 1: And their offers to him, by all accounts, were legitimate offers. 944 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: It was just the fact of, you know, how do 945 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 1: we show Lamar the reason why we're doing this. What 946 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: is the best way that we can get this across 947 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: to give them the best deal, Because it wasn't about leverage, Mike. 948 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't about let's try to squeeze every penny or 949 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 1: save every penny that we can, because in the end, 950 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: that's not what happened. They took a risk, but I 951 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 1: think it was a calculated risk to put the non 952 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,879 Speaker 1: exclusive tag on Lamar Jackson, which allowed him to see. 953 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 1: What you were talking about is that, you know what, 954 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: there isn't that market for you that you may think. 955 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,800 Speaker 1: We want you to be a Raven. We're going to 956 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: pay you a lot of money to be a Baltimore Raven, 957 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 1: So please accept, you know, this sort of contract that 958 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 1: will take care of you. They didn't underpay. They made 959 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 1: him the highest paid quarterback per annual salary of anybody 960 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: in the league. The guaranteed money may not be fully 961 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson's, but the amount of the contract is 962 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 1: more than what Deshaun Watson got. It really is for 963 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: all the criticism that Eric DaCosta and the Ravens front 964 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 1: office Scott to be able to use that scenic route 965 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: to get Lamar to understand where they're coming from and 966 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: still pay Lamar money to make him the highest paid 967 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL when it comes to that average 968 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 1: annual salary really is a tip of the cap. Like 969 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 1: they got the deals. There has nothing to do with 970 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: whether you think Lamar is worth the money or not 971 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 1: worth the money. They feel that he is, and they 972 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,000 Speaker 1: got him to back off of his demands to wanting 973 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: a fully guaranteed contract. Maybe Jalen Hurts deserves a thumbs 974 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 1: up or a thank you for having that contract, But 975 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 1: your point is very very well put that to be 976 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 1: able to get him to see that you know this 977 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 1: is the market for you, we still want to pay you, 978 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 1: and pay him handsomely and more than anyone else. I say, 979 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,240 Speaker 1: great job by the Baltimore Ravens. 980 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 3: Here's a new offensive coordinator and Todd Monkin. You drafts 981 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,719 Speaker 3: A Flowers. Everybody freaks out when Antonio Brown puts up 982 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 3: his tweet photoshopped into a Raven's uniform. So that was 983 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 3: fun to watch that unfold people's heads exploding over that. 984 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 3: But you look at what that built. You bring in 985 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 3: who is it Nelson Aguilar as well, So like you've 986 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 3: done to n Odell Beckham Junior obviously, but you've rebuilt 987 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 3: your receiving corps in addition to the guys DaCosta had 988 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 3: already drafted. We've talked about that as sauce Flowers. No 989 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 3: day flowers a huge addition, no question about it. You know, 990 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 3: the running backs in the running game is always going 991 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,840 Speaker 3: to be there, but here's a full compliment of players. 992 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,799 Speaker 3: But the non exclusive just seems something that if you're 993 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,439 Speaker 3: at an impasse with a player, quarterback or other, it's 994 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 3: the greatest tool. And anybody that complained about it, I 995 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 3: saw this from a lot of X players, saw from 996 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 3: a lot of current players and people in our media, 997 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 3: it's like, that's in the CBA. 998 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 7: They agreed to this system, So shut up and tell 999 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 7: them when a team actually applies the tag, whichever the 1000 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 7: exclusive or non exclusive, shut up, argue it out, negotiate 1001 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,800 Speaker 7: it out in the next CBA. 1002 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 3: If you don't like. 1003 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: It, is it the equivalent of a couple that is dating, 1004 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,359 Speaker 1: not engaged, not married, but just de sounding all right, 1005 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,320 Speaker 1: We're going to see other people for a little while 1006 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 1: and then in the end they come around. 1007 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 3: You figure out that, yeah, that's that's the best of it. 1008 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 2: Right. 1009 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 3: You want to make sure one hundred percent that this 1010 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,840 Speaker 3: is where you're going. And from Lamar Jackson, from all reports, 1011 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 3: he never got a formal offer. Now we don't know 1012 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 3: how many he never went on any dates. We don't 1013 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 3: know if he went on any dates. We don't know 1014 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 3: if there was just a little bit of online flirting 1015 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,359 Speaker 3: or people came down to his restaurant, because I really 1016 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 3: want to go down to the restaurant I'm in. Like 1017 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 3: he was talking, he was really talking about the oxtails. 1018 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,879 Speaker 3: I haven't had a good oxtail in a long time. 1019 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,840 Speaker 3: That's something my mom used to make when I was 1020 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 3: growing up. But the idea that you go into the 1021 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 3: marketplace and even if someone had given an offer, well, 1022 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,720 Speaker 3: now Baltimore has the chance to match. It's the best 1023 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,720 Speaker 3: part of the system, right. You still get the opportunity 1024 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 3: to say, you know what that's worth it, we'll do that. 1025 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,919 Speaker 3: We'll match that. Maybe you have other conversations that all right, 1026 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 3: you'll you'll come back to us and then we'll we'll 1027 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,800 Speaker 3: open things up and maybe maybe we'll find a couple 1028 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 3: more pennies that we can shake out. But go out 1029 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 3: in earnest into the marketplace and see what's viable. And 1030 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 3: when you start talking about one hundred and eighty five 1031 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:44,279 Speaker 3: million dollars guaranteed two sixty overall, it's it's like baseball contracts. 1032 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,560 Speaker 3: We know there's only going to be so many teams 1033 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 3: that can buy for the services of a show Heyo 1034 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 3: Tani or an Aaron Judge or whatever. When we look 1035 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,400 Speaker 3: at the cap space the teams have and not that 1036 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,880 Speaker 3: you wouldn't trip all over yourself and do some funny 1037 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 3: accounting like people accuse the Rams of doing to try 1038 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 3: to make it work. But there's so many teams that 1039 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 3: have in either in the last year or two have 1040 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,440 Speaker 3: just invested in a quarterback and have no idea what 1041 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:11,359 Speaker 3: they've got. Or you've got an established veteran that you're 1042 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 3: not ready to move off of, perhaps because you're already 1043 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 3: on the hook for so much dead cab. If they're 1044 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 3: going yeah yeah. 1045 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,719 Speaker 1: When you talk about the guarantees, I wonder how much 1046 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,759 Speaker 1: is just ego sure in being like, because honestly, you 1047 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 1: want to be the highest guy. Yeah, that's that's where 1048 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: it plays in. Where there's the guarantee of one hundred 1049 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,719 Speaker 1: and eighty five million dollars guaranteed with injury, that's that 1050 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: is likely to be in Lamar Jackson's bank account. The 1051 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 1: other part of that mic is there's fifty two million 1052 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,480 Speaker 1: dollars of it that you know he's going to get 1053 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,839 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and he's probably going to get 1054 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 1: it in twenty twenty four. So now you're already at 1055 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars. The point that I'm trying to 1056 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:59,919 Speaker 1: make is, you know these guarantees. He's like, you want 1057 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 1: the stats, the status of they believe in me. I 1058 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 1: got every cent that was coming to me. Well, that's great. Now, 1059 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 1: but you're still getting one hundred and eighty five million dollars. 1060 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 1: Like there's there. It's not going to be the one 1061 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,880 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen there's it's just the point of being like, 1062 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 1: I got every cent. That's where I think his ego 1063 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 1: to it sure, And and if if he ends up 1064 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,279 Speaker 1: being released at some point, I don't think Lamar Jackson's 1065 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: career is over. So now you add on another contract. 1066 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 1: You know, if it was worst case scenario barring career 1067 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,319 Speaker 1: ending injury. But if it's worst case scenario and it 1068 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,320 Speaker 1: doesn't work out in Baltimore after three or four years 1069 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 1: he moves on, there's going to be another team that's 1070 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 1: going to pay him, you know, ten million dollars whatever. 1071 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 3: That next deal is right, And this goes back to 1072 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 3: that same equation talking about the draft equation, as we 1073 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,680 Speaker 3: did with CJ. Stroud and his ultimate selection by the Texans. 1074 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,759 Speaker 3: Players are going to be valued in a system differently 1075 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 3: by every one of those thirty two teams. We can 1076 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:05,319 Speaker 3: all agree Lamar Jackson is a great player, but there's 1077 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 3: still some issues that need to be resolved, even even 1078 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 3: with an MVP. In the book, yep, right, when we 1079 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 3: talk about accuracy and whatever, and we can talk about 1080 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 3: the weapons that have been there, the offense they've run, 1081 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,799 Speaker 3: but playoff success is eluded him. So that's got to 1082 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,360 Speaker 3: be That's one of those marks when you're starting to 1083 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,800 Speaker 3: go in it's like big games, end of year availability, 1084 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 3: missing time as he has the last couple of years. 1085 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 3: All of those go into the equation of someone offering 1086 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 3: a contract. So anybody that did me, well, he's a 1087 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,799 Speaker 3: former MVP. He's right, it's a former MVP. It's a 1088 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,760 Speaker 3: couple of years ago, a couple of injuries shortened seasons 1089 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,640 Speaker 3: ago before you're coming in, and his value to the Ravens, 1090 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 3: based on the system that they've built, the personnel that 1091 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 3: they've brought in, is going to be intrinsically higher than 1092 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:54,400 Speaker 3: any other organization in the National Football League. 1093 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 1: When you look at Yeah, I just I it has 1094 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,799 Speaker 1: nothing to do with if Lamar Jackson says healthy and 1095 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 1: plays out the contract. I just love the fact that 1096 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens the process that you laid out to 1097 00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 1: get Lamar Jackson to realize that this is the deal 1098 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 1: like it is. It's not manipulation. It's just the road 1099 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 1: that you have to take. And then the same argument 1100 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: of whether Lamar should be paid as much as he 1101 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, is going to happen today, It's gonna happen 1102 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 1: next week. It's gonna happen next month. It's gonna happen 1103 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: during the season. Heck, Mike, it's gonna happen during next 1104 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,560 Speaker 1: season as well. Like that conversation is not going away 1105 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 1: to be but to be able to get that deal done, 1106 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 1: and Lamar still walks away with the best you know 1107 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 1: contract that there is tip of the cap to the 1108 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 1: Ravens for doing it. 1109 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 3: A huge deal for him, and Harbaugh and company were 1110 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 3: mocked roundly throughout, including my guy Jason Smith. So whenever 1111 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 3: I get something really right, he's got to wear it. 1112 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,479 Speaker 3: Is that when Harbaugh was saying two hundred percent, Lamar 1113 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 3: is our guy, one lion. It's not lying if you 1114 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,680 Speaker 3: believe it's true. George Costanza, He's Dan Bayer, I'm Mike Carben. 1115 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 3: We're company Alive from me I dot com Studios.

No, TCU, I 1252 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 3: know he's a Chargers draft at least three of them. 1253 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: TCU is one of them. Notre Dame h No, it 1254 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 1: was not. Notre Dame. SEC had sixty guys, sixty two 1255 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 1: guys elected. Florida had six, LSU had six, Penn State 1256 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 1: had six, and you ready for this, Pitt and Oregon 1257 01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:47,800 Speaker 1: had six. Those are your top eleven schools. Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, TCU, Florida, LSU, 1258 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Ohio State, Penn State, Clemson, Pitt and Oregon. 1259 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,880 Speaker 3: Oh, that's too bad. Penn State seemed like one that 1260 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 3: I would have loved to have got on there, but 1261 01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 3: you know, Clifford getting selected late obviously doing I. 1262 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,520 Speaker 1: Even told Mike during the break and said, you know what, 1263 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 1: this game today is actually not for us to get 1264 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,919 Speaker 1: a perfect score. It's not for us to have tons 1265 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 1: of laughs. It's for us to just shed some more 1266 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:12,880 Speaker 1: light on what happened in the NFL draft. It was 1267 01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,040 Speaker 1: more of an informational sort of feud. And so when 1268 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,720 Speaker 1: you have Pitt, you know, getting the you know, in 1269 01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: this top eleven. Pitt was the reason we had two 1270 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,600 Speaker 1: passes today. Guys, I'm gonna be completely honest, because I 1271 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 1: didn't think anybody was gonna say that Pitt Panthers and 1272 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 1: you gonna have Jordan Addison. If you would have stayed 1273 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 1: at Pitt could have been seven. 1274 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 3: That's a fair point. So yeah, figuring just piling up 1275 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 3: any SEC team was probably not a bad option. In 1276 01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 3: the guessing game of it all, Big ten obviously represented 1277 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,720 Speaker 3: very well. Bears grabbed a duck, But I love that 1278 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:50,040 Speaker 3: the Chargers had three TCU guests, Like why because they're 1279 01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,600 Speaker 3: Championship Metal, They're ready to go, They're gonna teach us 1280 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 3: how to win.

So a hole six 1312 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,320 Speaker 3: and fifteen he's going to record, and we've got the 1313 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:49,640 Speaker 3: contest you can win some a piece of US open memorabilia. 1314 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,439 Speaker 1: I'm still nervous on the recording part. I don't know 1315 01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 1: if it'll have well. I will try to give at 1316 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: least a live update of the score. 1317 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 3: Can you can you do an Al Frank and camera 1318 01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,040 Speaker 3: thing like he used to do on Saturday at Live 1319 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,880 Speaker 3: the mobile unit where he had like the antenna on 1320 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 3: top of his head so he could broadcast. And then 1321 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:08,920 Speaker 3: all of a sudden he was down on the docks 1322 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,160 Speaker 3: and a drug deal was going bad and he's running 1323 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,800 Speaker 3: and he's got the giant satellite dish on his head. 1324 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 3: I mean, we could do that. 1325 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,920 Speaker 1: I really the scores that have been pouring in Mike 1326 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:22,960 Speaker 1: on predicting it. Some are when we get a low number, 1327 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,559 Speaker 1: it makes me feel good, but it adds pressure. Yeah, 1328 01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,840 Speaker 1: when I get a high number, I'm like, God, the 1329 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:28,479 Speaker 1: heck with you? 1330 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 3: What do you do better than that? You've never seen 1331 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:33,120 Speaker 3: me swing a club. 1332 01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 1: Oh, I love it. 1333 01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:39,879 Speaker 3: That's fantastic at buyer score or a hashtag buyer scores 1334 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 3: if you want to get your guests in. What's the 1335 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:48,440 Speaker 3: total of Dan's participation and holds six and fifteen tomorrow. 1336 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,600 Speaker 3: Now we turn our attention to the NBA playoffs. I 1337 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 3: was trying to think of a clever transition there, but 1338 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,360 Speaker 3: it goes from maybe you're a Cinderella story on those 1339 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,799 Speaker 3: two holes man and you come up with the shots 1340 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 3: of your life. As you said, Some are trying to 1341 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:07,960 Speaker 3: apply the tag to the Johnny Come Lately Los Angeles 1342 01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 3: Lakers a team, yes, a team that suddenly there's a 1343 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,719 Speaker 3: lot of positivity, and part of that was they played 1344 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,360 Speaker 3: a team that has embraced at least some of the 1345 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 3: players the archvillain tag. Now, my brothers and I have 1346 01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 3: joked about it for a long time. There is the 1347 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:31,080 Speaker 3: chant of you only sing when you're winning. In other words, 1348 01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 3: you're you're not talking, you're not participating your grousing if 1349 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,720 Speaker 3: your team's down and and or you're losing. And that's 1350 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:43,680 Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks walked away. John Morant at the end of 1351 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 3: the series as they go down to the Lakers kind 1352 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,360 Speaker 3: of opened up a little bit and yeah, my off 1353 01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,760 Speaker 3: court stuff certainly was a hindrance to the squad, and 1354 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,480 Speaker 3: I recognize that I have to be better all of that, 1355 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 3: as well as leaving the arena and the crowd singing 1356 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:02,240 Speaker 3: Nona Nana, Hey, Hey Hey. Going back to the south 1357 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,639 Speaker 3: Side Hittman of the Chicago White Sox in the late 1358 01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,639 Speaker 3: seventies when that was a popular tune on the radio 1359 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,280 Speaker 3: and that Josh sang along with the fans leaned into it. 1360 01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 3: It's like, you know what we lost, We'll take it 1361 01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,759 Speaker 3: and wear it. But the narrative coming out of the Lakers, 1362 01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,639 Speaker 3: everybody getting on board and calling it a Cinderella story 1363 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 3: based on where they were in the conference, having to 1364 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,640 Speaker 3: play their way in the play in tournament and the 1365 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,760 Speaker 3: season that was and I think you and I are 1366 01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,920 Speaker 3: in agreement on this, and it's something we'd banged the 1367 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:36,960 Speaker 3: drum on. I think the last couple of weeks is 1368 01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:41,160 Speaker 3: they were expected to be good, right, they were expected 1369 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,800 Speaker 3: to be good. A lot of question marks about Russell Westbrook. Well, 1370 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 3: they excized him, rob a link in company. Get your 1371 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,760 Speaker 3: flowers for the executive moves that you made to reshape 1372 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 3: this team. But when you've got Lebron James and Anthony 1373 01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 3: Davis as your anchors, being a low seed and backing 1374 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:05,719 Speaker 3: into the playoffs is not exactly coming from a place 1375 01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:10,200 Speaker 3: of Cinderella. You want to talk Cinderella Sacramento. Sure, yeah, right, 1376 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,240 Speaker 3: they finished as the number three, but nobody expected that. 1377 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,680 Speaker 3: We may have expected a better season, but not what 1378 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 3: they did and certainly not the roads success that they 1379 01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 3: had during the regular season. One of the few teams, 1380 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,960 Speaker 3: as we chronicled talking about the playoffs last week, damn, 1381 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,920 Speaker 3: is so many teams in the Western Conference were five 1382 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,120 Speaker 3: hundred or below on the road. And then you've got 1383 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:33,000 Speaker 3: the young Kings. 1384 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,200 Speaker 1: They just go and play, Yes, they absolutely do it. 1385 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 1: Even that number, if that number is three next to them, 1386 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 1: there is that Cinderella feeling and the Lakers with that 1387 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:48,320 Speaker 1: number seven next to them, I'm sorry, it's just they 1388 01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,000 Speaker 1: can't be a Cinderella, just like North Carolina was in 1389 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 1: a cinderella when they made their runs to the National 1390 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,840 Speaker 1: Championship Game a little over a year ago. In the 1391 01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, they were an eighth seed put there but 1392 01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:05,240 Speaker 1: the number after eight, said North Carolina, and I don't care. 1393 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,760 Speaker 1: They're at eight, nine, ten or eleven. And it's the 1394 01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 1: same thing with the Lakers. When you have the Lakers 1395 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:16,479 Speaker 1: and you have Lebron James on your team, there's no 1396 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,719 Speaker 1: way that they can be a Cinderella. But the reason 1397 01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,679 Speaker 1: I think that we've come up with this conversation, Mike 1398 01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 1: is twofold number one. It is that number that's before them, 1399 01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:30,919 Speaker 1: because we rarely see lower seeded teams make these pushes, 1400 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 1: and now there is a path for the Lakers to 1401 01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 1: maybe do more damage than what we originally thought, or 1402 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,360 Speaker 1: at least some of us originally thought. But the other 1403 01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 1: part of the equation is the Memphis Grizzlies did the 1404 01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:49,960 Speaker 1: absolute impossible. They made a Lakers team, and one with 1405 01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 1: Lebron James on the Lakers team, a team he wanted 1406 01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:58,160 Speaker 1: to cheer for, Like Dylan Brooks not talking to the media, 1407 01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,080 Speaker 1: like he was getting enough flack when he was talking, 1408 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 1: and I think you have to stick to the script. 1409 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,479 Speaker 1: You can't just not talk anymore. And what has gone 1410 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,960 Speaker 1: on that team is so unlikable. We've talked about how 1411 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,400 Speaker 1: they're picking fights with everybody in the regular season. They 1412 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:17,080 Speaker 1: have beef with the Warriors, they have beef with the Suns, 1413 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,439 Speaker 1: They've got beef with Minnesota. Now they have beef with 1414 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:24,799 Speaker 1: the Lakers, like they're everybody's enemy, and that gets annoying 1415 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 1: after a while. And the Pistons leaned into their bad 1416 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:33,759 Speaker 1: boy aspect and the Memphis Grizzlies came off as posers. 1417 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,599 Speaker 1: They really did, like Dylan Brook's not talking and backing up, 1418 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,479 Speaker 1: he's having the SoundBite for when he's winning, and all 1419 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 1: of that stuff that piled on and John Morant to 1420 01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:48,320 Speaker 1: the Strip Club and Ja Morant's eighteen minutes in therapy 1421 01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: to clear his mind and whatever went on gave this 1422 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:57,559 Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies team an essence of I don't know if 1423 01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,000 Speaker 1: I really liked that squad. And then you have Dylan 1424 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:03,120 Speaker 1: Brook's mouthing off. You actually had people liking the Lakers 1425 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 1: and wanting Lebron to winning the playoffs with Lebron in 1426 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,080 Speaker 1: a Lakers uniform that aren't Laker diehards or Laker fans. 1427 01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,080 Speaker 1: And I think that that is that is amazing. So 1428 01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:13,760 Speaker 1: now you look at the Lakers and you say they 1429 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,880 Speaker 1: beat the number two seed, you know, are they the Cinderella. 1430 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,559 Speaker 1: There's just there's just no way. There's no way because 1431 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,559 Speaker 1: we look at the Lakers now differently because we actually 1432 01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,799 Speaker 1: wanted them to beat Memphis, which is just crazy to sound, 1433 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,280 Speaker 1: but there's no way they could be considered a Cinderella. 1434 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 2: Now. 1435 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,320 Speaker 3: One of the things that you and I as we 1436 01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:34,559 Speaker 3: exchanged notes and chatted a bit before the show, how 1437 01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 3: much different is the are things if Steven Adams actually 1438 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 3: can play and and but I mean to be a 1439 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,479 Speaker 3: voice that where you actually have an adult in the room. 1440 01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 1: You need that, you need it really bad. You need 1441 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,280 Speaker 1: you need somebody who's actually had success that can can 1442 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,400 Speaker 1: talk to these guys. And Steven Adams when they were 1443 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,600 Speaker 1: having the issues, it was brought up like a you know, 1444 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:59,639 Speaker 1: a veteran spoke in the locker room. And Steven Adams 1445 01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 1: is twenty nine years old and he was the oldest 1446 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:06,840 Speaker 1: guy on the roster. It's crazy you Donnas. Haslam's career 1447 01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:10,479 Speaker 1: with the Miami Heat has basically just been there for 1448 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:11,320 Speaker 1: Heat culture. 1449 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,599 Speaker 3: That you got an extra seven or eight years of 1450 01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 3: his career just kind of being there to be a 1451 01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:22,040 Speaker 3: voice of reason. Make sure that in the current iteration 1452 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 3: with Jimmy Butler and company, that everybody plays nice sandbox 1453 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:27,080 Speaker 3: and keeps moving. 1454 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 1: There is no one on that team that really has 1455 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:37,120 Speaker 1: accomplished anything that can tell Dylan Brooks or can tell 1456 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 1: John Morant or to try to show them of what 1457 01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 1: it takes to be a champion. That is maybe what 1458 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 1: Memphis needs, because then a veteran would also hit a 1459 01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,360 Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks. If you're gonna do that, you better lean 1460 01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,880 Speaker 1: into it. If you're gonna poke the bear, you better 1461 01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 1: be able to be there at the end instead of 1462 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 1: just saying deuce as I'm out. And I mean, it's 1463 01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 1: just so unlikable and it's it's just it's not and 1464 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:04,840 Speaker 1: day to the grind. You know, the grindhouse teams that 1465 01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,679 Speaker 1: they had with Tony Allen and Marcasol and Zach Randolph 1466 01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:13,479 Speaker 1: and those Memphis Grizzly squad squads, they weren't pretty Mike, 1467 01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,320 Speaker 1: but they were matchup nightmares for some teams in the West, 1468 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 1: and you could get behind them and be like, all right, 1469 01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:20,800 Speaker 1: Memphis is going to do their thing. John Moran has 1470 01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,280 Speaker 1: the superstar capabilities to have that sort of following. But 1471 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,040 Speaker 1: something needs to change to at least make that team 1472 01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:30,639 Speaker 1: somewhat likable. And I think that they need a veteran 1473 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,120 Speaker 1: or somebody, somebody that's older than twenty nine years old 1474 01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 1: and has accomplished something to try to square away things 1475 01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:37,320 Speaker 1: in that locker room. 1476 01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you invoke the name of the Pistons 1477 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:46,040 Speaker 3: and their run. They spoke, they didn't back down whatever 1478 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,960 Speaker 3: the criticism was, and then they went one right, the 1479 01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,960 Speaker 3: old don't talk about it, be about it. And for 1480 01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:57,320 Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks, everybody loves a villain, yes, right, Like the 1481 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 3: Warriors became a villion just because you were tie of them, 1482 01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,920 Speaker 3: not because And maybe you don't like Draymond and there's 1483 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 3: plenty of reasons. I think that people are turned off 1484 01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:10,800 Speaker 3: by him over time. Smart guy. I love, he's an 1485 01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,639 Speaker 3: interesting guy, good player, but I can understand where maybe 1486 01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 3: you decide he's too much, maybe not your your cup 1487 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,280 Speaker 3: of tea. But as a team Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, 1488 01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:26,160 Speaker 3: Steve Kerr gone down the line. There wasn't a I 1489 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 3: don't think legitimate hate for them as individuals like you 1490 01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,759 Speaker 3: would have with your typical villains. Go back to Bill Lambier, 1491 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:37,920 Speaker 3: Dennis Rodman, pick out. Even Isaiah Thomas was a guy 1492 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,400 Speaker 3: that could get under your skin. He still has beef 1493 01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:44,080 Speaker 3: with Michael Jordan forty years later, forty years later, still 1494 01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,360 Speaker 3: complaining at every turn, open microphone, let's talk about this 1495 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:51,479 Speaker 3: playoff series. You know, Michael Jordan when he anyway, so 1496 01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 3: the idea of he but they but they went, but 1497 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:01,360 Speaker 3: they went, they won, and when they were criticized, they 1498 01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,960 Speaker 3: hit the microphone and just said, yeah, this is how 1499 01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,920 Speaker 3: we play basketball. This is you know, we'll see on 1500 01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,839 Speaker 3: the court. And for Dylan Brooks, he looked the villain. 1501 01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,439 Speaker 3: He played up the WW I mean, he looked like 1502 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:14,360 Speaker 3: you could have been hanging out with Seth Rollins or 1503 01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:16,840 Speaker 3: any of these guys heading to Rustlemania. And then all 1504 01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:20,200 Speaker 3: of a sudden he's radio silent. Hell, no, this is 1505 01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:21,439 Speaker 3: where you lean in. 1506 01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,360 Speaker 1: That's where you Yeah, you want it the most, actually. 1507 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,400 Speaker 3: And scream a bit more right and truly become the 1508 01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,080 Speaker 3: heel and if you go down in Flames, you go 1509 01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:29,679 Speaker 3: down and flames. 1510 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,920 Speaker 1: Does Draymond do our podcast after wins? You know? No, 1511 01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,080 Speaker 1: he does it after he gets ejected or something happens, 1512 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,760 Speaker 1: or he fights with someone like that's when he that's 1513 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,720 Speaker 1: what he does. That's what he does his podcast. He 1514 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:44,840 Speaker 1: doesn't do it after a victory and talks an hour. 1515 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,320 Speaker 1: He does it when something goes wrong. And there's there's 1516 01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:51,040 Speaker 1: actually something about that you could respect Draymond. He doesn't there. 1517 01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,040 Speaker 1: You may tire of his act and be like, I 1518 01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 1: don't like that guy, but I'll tell you what. He 1519 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 1: talks and talks and continues to talk win or lose, 1520 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,880 Speaker 1: and you have to respect that aspect of it because 1521 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:05,120 Speaker 1: this is the flip side. This is what you don't want. 1522 01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 1: You don't want a guy yap in and then not responding, 1523 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,719 Speaker 1: and it kind of just leans into just the narrative 1524 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,760 Speaker 1: just they just make it so impossible for them to 1525 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 1: cheer for the Memphis Grizzlies. And it doesn't have to 1526 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,400 Speaker 1: be like that. With all the young talent they should be. 1527 01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:22,559 Speaker 1: They they don't have to be the Sacramento Kings. But 1528 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 1: because you can have the edge, you could be who 1529 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,040 Speaker 1: you are, but man, just you know their actions when 1530 01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,600 Speaker 1: when the going gets tough, just leaves so much to 1531 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 1: be desired. 1532 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:35,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. So while not Cinderella, do appreciate, as I said, 1533 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,000 Speaker 3: what Rob Polinka did, what Reeves has become. I thought 1534 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,200 Speaker 3: it was interesting. D'Angelo Russell has that monster game in 1535 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:46,639 Speaker 3: the clincher this last round in front of Kyrie Irving, 1536 01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 3: who he saw embracing Lebron James. Other than Jack Nicholson, 1537 01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,320 Speaker 3: who will get into a little bit later. I don't 1538 01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:55,720 Speaker 3: know that we saw anybody more than Kyrie Irving as 1539 01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,120 Speaker 3: part of that telecast before he left in the third quarter. 1540 01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,080 Speaker 1: I gotta work on my fake. Isaiah Timemus laugh, you know, 1541 01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 1: I got it, got it? I love you can track 1542 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,240 Speaker 1: it track and Isaiah Thomas laugh downe. But it is 1543 01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,120 Speaker 1: like right, it's like I. 1544 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,439 Speaker 3: Can't even do it now now I'm I'm not saying yeah, 1545 01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:16,040 Speaker 3: but you get in your head just like the acting before. Man, 1546 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 3: you can't do it. You got you, you did it, 1547 01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,679 Speaker 3: but I mean you don't get another take. It's done. 1548 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 1: I mean lived you know, near Hollywood. But I'm not 1549 01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 1: cut out for it though. 1550 01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 3: Oh no, no, We're gonna work on that.

So yeah, NFL Playoffs, 1569 01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:37,559 Speaker 3: NFL Draft, Lamar Jackson so much, I think I've only 1570 01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,599 Speaker 3: said the name Aaron Rodgers once. 1571 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 1: I think it was twice, maybe twice we did dive 1572 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,000 Speaker 1: in a little you know the golf question here it's 1573 01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:49,320 Speaker 1: April thirtieth, Robot to enter mate. Usually this was the 1574 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:54,080 Speaker 1: time where you have this down period in golf because 1575 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:56,920 Speaker 1: there's the gap between the majors of the masters in 1576 01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:00,639 Speaker 1: the US Open. Well, when the PGA moved to May 1577 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, it changed all of that. So you're 1578 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,839 Speaker 1: wondering again, why maybe we're talking US Open. Well, tomorrow's 1579 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,760 Speaker 1: the US Open Media Day at LA Country Club, and 1580 01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:13,839 Speaker 1: so I'll be teeing it up.

You 1588 01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,080 Speaker 3: brought up how they do the groupings, and and maybe 1589 01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:38,719 Speaker 3: some follow the clues and try to crack the code. 1590 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,360 Speaker 3: You should win a prize for that too. If you 1591 01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 3: crack all the codes, they should have one that threads 1592 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 3: across every every group. 1593 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,519 Speaker 1: You may have one where like everybody's named Tom and 1594 01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:49,680 Speaker 1: the group or some sort of Tom Thomas.

There's 1597 01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,639 Speaker 1: things that they've done with that. So in the week 1598 01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,720 Speaker 1: of the Open, it's always fun to try to decipher 1599 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 1: what they put together. But it'll be it'll be fun. 1600 01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 1: You gont have par threes that range from ninety five 1601 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,439 Speaker 1: yards to two hundred and ninety five yards at some 1602 01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,000 Speaker 1: point in that championship.

And 1652 01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna grab Lebron James and him hitting social media 1653 01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 3: and tie it to Will Levis as he exited the 1654 01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 3: NFL Draft, sat there and we saw him how many 1655 01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:10,080 Speaker 3: times twenty nine, thirty seven whatever it was number of 1656 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,800 Speaker 3: times that because when you talk best available and he's 1657 01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,080 Speaker 3: sitting there in a draft room. Guess what you're gonna 1658 01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:16,559 Speaker 3: show a Pictureum. 1659 01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,760 Speaker 1: I know, I know that you guys were on immediately 1660 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,960 Speaker 1: following Did you have your eyes on the NFL network 1661 01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:24,759 Speaker 1: or the ESPN broadcast question? I don't even remember, Okay, 1662 01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:28,760 Speaker 1: just because I watched the NFL network broadcast and I 1663 01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:31,320 Speaker 1: did not watch the ESPN broadcast, But I felt like 1664 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:34,720 Speaker 1: there was more from what I heard, there was more 1665 01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,960 Speaker 1: focus on Levis on the ESPN broadcast. Yeah. The NFL 1666 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:39,559 Speaker 1: network kind of tried to keep it really, you know. 1667 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,320 Speaker 3: Well, it's like the MLB thing of hey, there's nothing 1668 01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,719 Speaker 3: to see here with these fans with signs that hate 1669 01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:48,639 Speaker 3: you and your team. Yes, plausible deniability, Hey you didn't 1670 01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:52,120 Speaker 3: see it. I likewise, NFL network, do not make him 1671 01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,400 Speaker 3: the story would be, might be my guest from the 1672 01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,080 Speaker 3: executives and the producers. 1673 01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,719 Speaker 1: They didn't avoid it, but it wasn't like front and center. 1674 01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:04,880 Speaker 3: Yes, sure, and if in future references there might be 1675 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:08,320 Speaker 3: a third channel, you know, or the ohow would be 1676 01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:11,759 Speaker 3: the all Will Levis channel. Sure to watch him sip 1677 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,519 Speaker 3: his drink or look at his phone or whatever the 1678 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,120 Speaker 3: case may be. But I tie them together, for this. 1679 01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:18,719 Speaker 3: Will Levice didn't come back for Night two of the draft, 1680 01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:22,439 Speaker 3: was drafted pretty quickly and off the board he goes 1681 01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:27,759 Speaker 3: but didn't come back. Subject of a lot of ridicule online, 1682 01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:31,200 Speaker 3: everybody looking at the girlfriend making jokes about how he 1683 01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:33,880 Speaker 3: since he didn't go in the first round, Well it 1684 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:36,719 Speaker 3: might not be his girlfriend. I mean no where everything 1685 01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:41,360 Speaker 3: played out, but he didn't come back, and naturally we'd 1686 01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:46,000 Speaker 3: drifted draft day and Bo Callahan and when he did, 1687 01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 3: he had to go and grab him as he left 1688 01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,680 Speaker 3: the left the draft. He's like, no, no, no, this is 1689 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:52,800 Speaker 3: a bad look. You gotta go back in not coming 1690 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,240 Speaker 3: back to the draft to me, like I would have 1691 01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,680 Speaker 3: leaned into it. I like to think I would have 1692 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:01,800 Speaker 3: regardless of the ridicule. Damn it. I'm here, so I'm 1693 01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,160 Speaker 3: going to show up, yes, and I'm going to take 1694 01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 3: that walk across the stage because this is not about me, 1695 01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,200 Speaker 3: just about me. It's about everybody to help me get here, 1696 01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:12,439 Speaker 3: and why not celebrate that moment. 1697 01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:16,840 Speaker 1: The thing that bothered me about it, Mike, is you 1698 01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:22,760 Speaker 1: hear the coach speak from these prospects and players. It's 1699 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:24,919 Speaker 1: just a dream of mine to play in the NFL 1700 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:31,360 Speaker 1: and the message is I understand that Thursday was an 1701 01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:35,000 Speaker 1: awful day for will Evis. I understand that. I get that, 1702 01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,839 Speaker 1: but it's going to be a small chapter in your career. 1703 01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:41,599 Speaker 1: And the message that you're sending my not showing up 1704 01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,599 Speaker 1: is it's a dream of mine to play in the NFL, 1705 01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:47,639 Speaker 1: but really only if I'm a first round draft pick. 1706 01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:49,280 Speaker 1: Like That's that's the. 1707 01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:52,080 Speaker 3: First piece of adversity you've got as a professional athlete. 1708 01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:54,679 Speaker 3: Now you want to scream at your agent and your 1709 01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:58,479 Speaker 3: managers and whoever might have given you bad intel of 1710 01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:01,840 Speaker 3: what was going on. That's between you and them. But 1711 01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:04,920 Speaker 3: for the outward facing, we get into it, and as 1712 01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:06,639 Speaker 3: much as you may not like it, it's a game 1713 01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:09,800 Speaker 3: of optics, and the optics were that you pouted and 1714 01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:10,240 Speaker 3: you went home. 1715 01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,960 Speaker 1: Brian Branch was not drafted in the first round, was 1716 01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,200 Speaker 1: drafted in the second round and was at the NFL 1717 01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 1: Draft on Friday and was able to walk on stage 1718 01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,400 Speaker 1: and just to see that and to see what he 1719 01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:27,160 Speaker 1: received in the kudos tells you all that you need 1720 01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:31,400 Speaker 1: to know. And I understand that Thursday stunk Mike. It 1721 01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:36,479 Speaker 1: was an awful night for him, But whatever questions and 1722 01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,439 Speaker 1: whatever reasons, he fell in the draft, whether it's his 1723 01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:43,599 Speaker 1: play in twenty twenty two, whether it's you know something 1724 01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,800 Speaker 1: maybe that happened in the meaning who knows, who knows 1725 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:50,479 Speaker 1: what the reason was. This doesn't help it, and maybe 1726 01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:52,639 Speaker 1: in the long run it's not that big of a deal. 1727 01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:55,320 Speaker 1: But I thought he could have gained a lot. Like 1728 01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 1: for you felt like you lost a lot by not 1729 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,800 Speaker 1: being picked on Thursday. By showing up up Friday and 1730 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:04,599 Speaker 1: being there and having that moment, I think you really 1731 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:06,760 Speaker 1: would have gained a lot. I think you would have 1732 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,720 Speaker 1: gained a lot of fans, right, you know, in doing so, 1733 01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:13,760 Speaker 1: And I just it was disappointing to see. I, you know, 1734 01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:17,600 Speaker 1: I I would think that if if it was me, 1735 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,559 Speaker 1: if I had that opportunity, I would want to do 1736 01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,040 Speaker 1: what Brian Branch did, and that's return and have my 1737 01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:27,080 Speaker 1: name called and walk out on stage and have my 1738 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,599 Speaker 1: my moment, my dream that I dreamed about of playing 1739 01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:32,280 Speaker 1: in being drafted in the NFL and playing in the NFL, 1740 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:33,400 Speaker 1: realized still. 1741 01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:36,759 Speaker 3: Heard your name called. Instead, he had a flight delay 1742 01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,200 Speaker 3: and found out as he was walking in the door 1743 01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:43,000 Speaker 3: to eat a sandwich, maybe a HOGI who knows, but 1744 01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:45,000 Speaker 3: the id to see how you tie everything together here 1745 01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,479 Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio. But it's just the idea of 1746 01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,680 Speaker 3: adding fuel, right, because it might have been a bunch 1747 01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:53,559 Speaker 3: of smoke, Right, we had stories all of a sudden, 1748 01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:58,600 Speaker 3: Oh it's a total played and we've been in the 1749 01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,200 Speaker 3: draft process for months. If the toe was an issue, 1750 01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:02,920 Speaker 3: you don't think someone would have leaked that at some 1751 01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:07,599 Speaker 3: point in this day and age where we find out everything. Well, 1752 01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:11,000 Speaker 3: the fact that teams might have been concerned about his toe, 1753 01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:12,760 Speaker 3: it seems like we would have heard about that. 1754 01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,280 Speaker 1: I think that would have been the jump the shark moment, 1755 01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,080 Speaker 1: Like we'd be like, remember the year we downgraded Will 1756 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:21,680 Speaker 1: Levis because of his toe? That's what it would have 1757 01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:24,559 Speaker 1: popped up. Like we can say c J. Stroud's you know, 1758 01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,960 Speaker 1: a S two score was not good, Jalen Carter, you 1759 01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,640 Speaker 1: know off season, you know, with a whole bunch of 1760 01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:33,320 Speaker 1: question marks, you can understand. But if we were to 1761 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,719 Speaker 1: say toe, just because it's a toe and we don't 1762 01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,200 Speaker 1: know exactly which toe, I don't think it would matter 1763 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:41,519 Speaker 1: if it was the pinky or the big toe. I 1764 01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:43,759 Speaker 1: think that that would be a reason why we'd be like, Okay, 1765 01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:44,559 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? 1766 01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 3: Got to take care of the captain of the toes. 1767 01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:48,760 Speaker 3: Now I tie this to Lebron. James and I talked 1768 01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:52,559 Speaker 3: about zero Dark twenty three that he goes to social media. 1769 01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:56,760 Speaker 3: He's doing so song lyrics, and he goes and flames 1770 01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:01,160 Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks and multiple turns. Right, if you see grizzly 1771 01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:02,760 Speaker 3: bear in the woods, if I'm out for a walk, 1772 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,760 Speaker 3: pray for the grizzly bear. All of these things. He 1773 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:10,960 Speaker 3: didn't do the handshake of anybody after they eliminated the Grizzlies. 1774 01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:14,599 Speaker 3: Here was the opportunity to be front and center against 1775 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:18,800 Speaker 3: a team that diminished. You Dylan Brooks today and he's old. 1776 01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:22,400 Speaker 3: I don't care. All of that that fueled everything into 1777 01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:26,280 Speaker 3: that forty point burial on Friday night. I would have 1778 01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:28,719 Speaker 3: been standing there at mid court with my handout saying, 1779 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 3: come on, good job, good effort, like that Miami Heap 1780 01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:36,800 Speaker 3: kid all those years ago. This was an opportunity to 1781 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:41,360 Speaker 3: lean into that. Instead you go to social media. 1782 01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:46,120 Speaker 1: I think they're two different things my opinion. I think 1783 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 1: the social media thing tells us where Lebron is in 1784 01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:53,680 Speaker 1: his game and where he is at his age. And 1785 01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 1: I think that we talked about Lebron NonStop and we 1786 01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:01,479 Speaker 1: probably still do. But when we were talking about him 1787 01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:03,479 Speaker 1: ten years ago, you know, in the middle of the 1788 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,640 Speaker 1: heat run, and then when he was doing with the Cavaliers, 1789 01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:08,599 Speaker 1: we knew that he was the best player in the game, 1790 01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:13,240 Speaker 1: like he's not the best player in the game right now. 1791 01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:17,000 Speaker 1: So I think that that is why we're hearing from him. 1792 01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:21,799 Speaker 1: I the the Dylan Brooks crossing the line. I'm actually 1793 01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:24,400 Speaker 1: glad Lebron didn't shake his hand to try to sue 1794 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,400 Speaker 1: that over. Let Dylan Brooks hang in the wind, let 1795 01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:29,320 Speaker 1: the you know, let them all hang in the wind 1796 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:31,840 Speaker 1: and deal with whatever, because if you're not going to 1797 01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 1: talk because he didn't talk after their other losses, I didn't. 1798 01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:36,960 Speaker 1: I don't have a I don't have a problem with 1799 01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:39,240 Speaker 1: that as much I do. I just I do think 1800 01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:41,120 Speaker 1: that the him now on Twitter and social media when 1801 01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,160 Speaker 1: he wouldn't do it in the past, tells us where 1802 01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:45,600 Speaker 1: Lebron's you know, a little bit of his mindset is 1803 01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:46,200 Speaker 1: as well. 1804 01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:48,120 Speaker 3: Well, and as we do in radio as we expand 1805 01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:52,639 Speaker 3: into different platforms, be it at Buyer Talk or harmon Rants, 1806 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,719 Speaker 3: or at Dan at Dan Byron Fox, or at Swollen 1807 01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,880 Speaker 3: Dome on Twitter. That's also my Instagram, and you know 1808 01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:01,960 Speaker 3: we're going where the audiences are, and so Lebron going 1809 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:03,840 Speaker 3: too social media. It's a nice place to do it. 1810 01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:05,599 Speaker 3: I didn't know if he'd go in the post game 1811 01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:08,800 Speaker 3: and spit some bars or not. But the idea of 1812 01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:11,800 Speaker 3: the handshake, to me, was just a missed opportunity to 1813 01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:15,840 Speaker 3: just be like see you like in person. Look they 1814 01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 3: didn't come to me or whatever, like put the onus 1815 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:22,000 Speaker 3: on them to show there how poor a loser they 1816 01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:24,960 Speaker 3: are in another another. 1817 01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,360 Speaker 1: Instance, to show that Lebron is the bigger guy. 1818 01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,599 Speaker 3: No, that's it, like to win some points when everybody 1819 01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,360 Speaker 3: because look up until about three weeks ago, it was 1820 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:36,200 Speaker 3: all about anything. You know, Lebron's done, he's washed up. 1821 01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:40,439 Speaker 3: Even after Game five, he's tired, and this is perhaps 1822 01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 3: going sideways, look out for the grizz And then they 1823 01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:46,000 Speaker 3: came out and buried them with a huge effort to' angelo, 1824 01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:48,960 Speaker 3: Russell and company coming up huge thought what it would 1825 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 3: have just been a great opportunity, like I'm still here. 1826 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,920 Speaker 1: Interesting, Yeah, I just I don't subscribe to it. I 1827 01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,599 Speaker 1: like to let him hang. Don't give them any reason 1828 01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:01,920 Speaker 1: Lebron does have any reason to lift them up or 1829 01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:06,880 Speaker 1: give them a hand, none, none, whatsoever, because it seemed 1830 01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:10,280 Speaker 1: like it did cross the line. I don't think it did, 1831 01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:14,559 Speaker 1: but it seemed like it did. And then then again, 1832 01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 1: just going back to the fact that you're not talking 1833 01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:19,680 Speaker 1: in the post game, just I just can't get over that, 1834 01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,479 Speaker 1: and just it's such a such a bad look. It's 1835 01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:25,719 Speaker 1: just it's I didn't play heel right. 1836 01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:29,080 Speaker 3: Right, play heel by leaning in, grabbing the microphone at 1837 01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:33,200 Speaker 3: every turn. Yes, and no matter how outrageous it gets, 1838 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:37,320 Speaker 3: you go one step further. Father time has staved off 1839 01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:40,439 Speaker 3: elimination this round. I'll see you next year. I I 1840 01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:41,639 Speaker 3: know we got to get to Ilo quick. 1841 01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:45,880 Speaker 1: But do you think Lebron didn't do the social media 1842 01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:50,160 Speaker 1: avoidance because he didn't know how long you had last 1843 01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:53,160 Speaker 1: in the postseason? Like I actually think that plays into it. 1844 01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:55,680 Speaker 1: In the past, you knew he was they were going 1845 01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:56,920 Speaker 1: to be in it for at least a month and 1846 01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:58,120 Speaker 1: a half, They were going to make it to a 1847 01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:01,080 Speaker 1: conference final, they were probably gonna make to the NBA finals. 1848 01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:04,760 Speaker 1: But if you were to only do a you know, 1849 01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:08,439 Speaker 1: she lost in the playing tournament and then lost again 1850 01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:11,240 Speaker 1: and you're out, your social media absence would have been 1851 01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:15,559 Speaker 1: you know, three weeks. So I wonder if like that 1852 01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:17,519 Speaker 1: was the fact that he's like, Okay, I really can't 1853 01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:18,760 Speaker 1: do it. Like back then, it was more of a 1854 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,680 Speaker 1: guarantee here, even if it was just like the two 1855 01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:23,280 Speaker 1: or three weeks, if they end up losing in the 1856 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,920 Speaker 1: conference semifinals and then it's over with, doesn't have the 1857 01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:29,439 Speaker 1: effect of like the two months wipe that you previously had. 1858 01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,599 Speaker 3: That's a fair point. I like that. Hey, let's get 1859 01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:33,599 Speaker 3: an update on what's going on in our sporting universe. 1860 01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 3: Let's bring in our guy, Isaac Loloicron.

Now, the NFL 1956 01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:14,560 Speaker 3: Draft in the rear view mirror talking about forty three trades. 1957 01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 3: I'm gonna trade back again and again and again, and 1958 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:23,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna amass all these picks. Somebody make a pick already, 1959 01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 3: like minutes upon minutes, like all right, timer's almost up. 1960 01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:29,920 Speaker 3: Now we've heard they've made a trade and we've let's 1961 01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,599 Speaker 3: look at an in on Will Levis again. No, it's 1962 01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:37,160 Speaker 3: that kind of thing that drag the uh the pace 1963 01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:39,000 Speaker 3: perhaps could have been better at times. 1964 01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm not a Day three fan. I'm not. I was. 1965 01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:44,719 Speaker 1: Even in the old days when it was two days 1966 01:42:45,080 --> 01:42:47,439 Speaker 1: like the I would tune in more I think in 1967 01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:49,599 Speaker 1: the old days of the Sunday than I do now 1968 01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:52,200 Speaker 1: with the Saturday. Sure's a lot of it is recapping 1969 01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:55,519 Speaker 1: what happened on Thursday and then just having random picks. 1970 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:58,719 Speaker 1: They're talking about picks and they're five picks down the line. 1971 01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:02,519 Speaker 1: So it's Saturday. Is a tough watch for me when 1972 01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:03,479 Speaker 1: it comes to the draft. 1973 01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:06,439 Speaker 3: Now, Dan, as you know, I have to listen to 1974 01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:09,679 Speaker 3: a lot of I don't want to use the word inane, 1975 01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:12,880 Speaker 3: but it's early Sunday. There's no chance he's listening. And 1976 01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,360 Speaker 3: am takes from my guy Jason Smith on the weeknight 1977 01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:19,760 Speaker 3: show seven to eleven here, Pacific, Fox Sports Radio, and 1978 01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,160 Speaker 3: many of them, Well, we'll get into battles, we'll get 1979 01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:25,080 Speaker 3: into arguments. But one I've kind of I've liked because 1980 01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:28,640 Speaker 3: he theorized it more as a yeah, in theory, this 1981 01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:30,880 Speaker 3: is how you should operate a team. You know, I'm 1982 01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:32,720 Speaker 3: gonna be the smart guy in the room, and this 1983 01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:35,000 Speaker 3: one I kind of subscribe to to a degree. And 1984 01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:38,400 Speaker 3: it looks like to at least a little bit, we're 1985 01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:41,240 Speaker 3: pushing towards that in the NFL. But they're calling it 1986 01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,960 Speaker 3: the party effect, mister irrelevant, like that's the name being 1987 01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:47,760 Speaker 3: of describe coming out of the twenty three draft. But 1988 01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:51,400 Speaker 3: given what brock Perty did in limited sample size last year, 1989 01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:53,880 Speaker 3: now the report for me in rapaport hey, Trey Lance 1990 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:55,720 Speaker 3: could be the number three. I really thought he was 1991 01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,080 Speaker 3: gonna get dealt during the draft, so that didn't happen. 1992 01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:01,120 Speaker 3: But either way, whatever happens there, but the pretty effect 1993 01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:05,879 Speaker 3: of making sure you have another guy that fits your system, 1994 01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:08,760 Speaker 3: that gets up to speed and is ready to go 1995 01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:11,960 Speaker 3: in theory that should have already been in place for 1996 01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:14,439 Speaker 3: a long time. Smith's theory was basically in the final 1997 01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:17,160 Speaker 3: rounds of a draft, take a couple of quarterbacks and 1998 01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:19,360 Speaker 3: let them battle it out for the backup. See who 1999 01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:24,040 Speaker 3: acclimates fastest, so that if your starter goes down, you're ready, 2000 01:44:24,160 --> 01:44:26,400 Speaker 3: as opposed to a lot of times where there seems 2001 01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:29,160 Speaker 3: to be absolute chaos. Now the drop off is always 2002 01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:31,920 Speaker 3: going to be stark in theory from your starter to 2003 01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:35,880 Speaker 3: the backup. But for some teams it absolutely tanks a season, 2004 01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:38,559 Speaker 3: which is why I always defended the Jordan Love drafting 2005 01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:42,240 Speaker 3: by the Packers, because they watched what happened when Brent 2006 01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:44,559 Speaker 3: Huntley had to play and was ill equipped to do it. 2007 01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:48,160 Speaker 3: An early hot start went to, yeah, we're done, the 2008 01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:52,080 Speaker 3: season's finished, So I would subscribe to that. So the 2009 01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:54,640 Speaker 3: Purty effect, as it's been labeled with the number of 2010 01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:59,080 Speaker 3: quarterbacks selected this year, means perhaps people are re examining 2011 01:44:59,120 --> 01:44:59,760 Speaker 3: the QB room. 2012 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,679 Speaker 1: I think the pretty effect is you have a dollar 2013 01:45:02,840 --> 01:45:06,960 Speaker 1: left at the casino, and what slot machine do you 2014 01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,519 Speaker 1: put it in? Do you put it into the one 2015 01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:12,439 Speaker 1: that has the one thousand dollars jackpot or do you 2016 01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:15,240 Speaker 1: put it the one that has the million dollar jackpot? 2017 01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:17,840 Speaker 1: And your odds are better to win the thousand dollars. 2018 01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:20,160 Speaker 1: For surely have one dollar, so you have a seventh 2019 01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:23,080 Speaker 1: round pick, you put it in the million to hit 2020 01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:27,960 Speaker 1: your your home run. I the direct correlation of pretty 2021 01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:31,519 Speaker 1: success and to have the number of quarterbacks taken I 2022 01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:34,479 Speaker 1: think is real. I just think to your point of 2023 01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:38,280 Speaker 1: you have to have all these quarterbacks hurt to get 2024 01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:41,200 Speaker 1: to this point to even play this guy. And usually 2025 01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:43,639 Speaker 1: even if your number one guy gets hurt, your season 2026 01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:46,439 Speaker 1: is over with. And so I just it's to me, 2027 01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:49,800 Speaker 1: it's not sustainable. But that's what that's what I view 2028 01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:52,400 Speaker 1: this is. If you've got that dollar, just put it 2029 01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:54,160 Speaker 1: in the slot machine where you could win a million, 2030 01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:56,760 Speaker 1: because you're probably gonna lose it anyway. But what's the 2031 01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:58,320 Speaker 1: point of putting it into the one that has the 2032 01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:00,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollars jackpot? 2033 01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,200 Speaker 3: Your shot? You only got one shot. Start doing your 2034 01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:05,800 Speaker 3: eminem He's Dan Fira, I'm Mike Harmon coming up next, 2035 01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,040 Speaker 3: turn our attention back to the NBA playoffs.

All right, very very specific 2048 01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:54,840 Speaker 3: things to go into it. 2049 01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:59,040 Speaker 1: I turn my notifications off for someone on Thursday, I'll 2050 01:46:59,040 --> 01:46:59,439 Speaker 1: tell you. 2051 01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:03,760 Speaker 3: So we got that now. Obviously there's muting hot take 2052 01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:07,519 Speaker 3: nonsense as well that we all all do in our lives, 2053 01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:11,160 Speaker 3: in real life and certainly in social media. But in 2054 01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:13,639 Speaker 3: an hour, as Isaac alluded to in the update, Isaac 2055 01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:16,240 Speaker 3: Lowancron our guy, we still need to get into that 2056 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:20,040 Speaker 3: improbable Angel City Portland finish that he got to call 2057 01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:23,559 Speaker 3: as you had a goalie score with a back heel 2058 01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:30,160 Speaker 3: kick in the final seconds of stoppage time to create 2059 01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:30,639 Speaker 3: a draw. 2060 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,799 Speaker 1: Speaking of which, a couple of weeks ago we challenged 2061 01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:37,599 Speaker 1: Isaac to drop something in one of those matches. Do 2062 01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:38,840 Speaker 1: you remember what that was? 2063 01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,519 Speaker 5: Isaac Lohan Kron Yeah, I said get back to me 2064 01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,320 Speaker 5: and let me know I'd be glad to do it. 2065 01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:47,599 Speaker 5: And you went on Dylan Brooks on, oh we failed. 2066 01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:49,240 Speaker 1: I thought we did a Seinfeld line. 2067 01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:54,880 Speaker 5: I'm sure. Okay, well there's another game Wednesday. Glad to 2068 01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,320 Speaker 5: drop it again. All right, nicely done. 2069 01:47:57,520 --> 01:48:01,400 Speaker 3: Well, so since I've gotten you here and we'll finish 2070 01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:06,479 Speaker 3: this now, look like you guys had snatched a victory 2071 01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:10,000 Speaker 3: from the jaws of defeat, a really big moment. So 2072 01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,400 Speaker 3: Sophia Smith big time star and Ilo can fill into 2073 01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:17,360 Speaker 3: particulars didn't start the game, so the watch was and 2074 01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:19,720 Speaker 3: there was no injury designation, so it's like, why is 2075 01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:22,320 Speaker 3: she not playing? Why is she not playing? Finally starts 2076 01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:26,320 Speaker 3: warming up, comes into the game, immediate impact, like whoa, 2077 01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:28,599 Speaker 3: just like that, just like the build, but he built 2078 01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:31,600 Speaker 3: it up beautifully, as if you were getting ready for 2079 01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:33,639 Speaker 3: the third act of a movie. He's like, whoa, there's 2080 01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:36,240 Speaker 3: the twist. Now, how do we resolve this? And then 2081 01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:39,160 Speaker 3: so Angel City comes back, takes a three to two 2082 01:48:39,400 --> 01:48:44,559 Speaker 3: lead and down the stretch a lot of chaos, extra time, 2083 01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:48,200 Speaker 3: and then an injury sets up the most improbable finish. 2084 01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:51,200 Speaker 5: Even though it did not go Angel City's way because 2085 01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:56,320 Speaker 5: of what happened last night. The NWSL was trending on 2086 01:48:56,640 --> 01:49:00,280 Speaker 5: Twitter across the country. It was that improbable. So for 2087 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,920 Speaker 5: the uninitiated, when a half runs out in soccer, the 2088 01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:08,040 Speaker 5: referee keeps the official time. So after forty five minutes, 2089 01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:10,920 Speaker 5: the referee signals, okay, we're gonna have five minutes of 2090 01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:13,880 Speaker 5: stoppage time, seven minutes of stoppage time, whatever. So Angel 2091 01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:16,639 Speaker 5: City has a three to two lead. They're going into 2092 01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:18,920 Speaker 5: the final minute of stoppage time in the second half. 2093 01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:22,200 Speaker 5: Portland the defending league champions. As you said, they have 2094 01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:26,639 Speaker 5: the reigning MVP, Sophia Smith. They had won eleven consecutive matches, 2095 01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:29,280 Speaker 5: or excuse me, they were undefeated in eleven consecutive matches 2096 01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:31,840 Speaker 5: dating back to last year. In the final seconds of 2097 01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:35,000 Speaker 5: second half stoppage time, trailing three to two, they have 2098 01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:39,800 Speaker 5: a corner kick and they send their goalie, Bella Bigsby, 2099 01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:42,960 Speaker 5: who is six feet tall, all the way down the 2100 01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:46,160 Speaker 5: field as an extra attacker. It's like pulling the goalie 2101 01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:48,640 Speaker 5: in ice hockey, only the goalie turns out to be 2102 01:49:48,720 --> 01:49:52,280 Speaker 5: your extra attacker. Corner kick comes down. She's six feet tall, 2103 01:49:52,479 --> 01:49:53,360 Speaker 5: she's trying to head it in. 2104 01:49:53,439 --> 01:49:53,880 Speaker 3: She can't. 2105 01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:57,559 Speaker 5: It bounces around, it bounces to her, but her back 2106 01:49:57,640 --> 01:50:01,400 Speaker 5: is to the goal, so she reaches out backwards with 2107 01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:06,400 Speaker 5: her foot and heals it into the goal behind her back, 2108 01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:11,840 Speaker 5: like I guess a mule kicking behind themselves, and it 2109 01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:14,679 Speaker 5: goes into the goal in the final seconds of stoppage time, 2110 01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:17,800 Speaker 5: and social media went insane. It was the second time 2111 01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:20,280 Speaker 5: in the history of the league that a goalie has 2112 01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:23,160 Speaker 5: scored a goal, and the same team, Portland did it 2113 01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:26,479 Speaker 5: in the exact same situation eight years ago in the 2114 01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:29,040 Speaker 5: same stadium. So even though it went against Angel City, 2115 01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:32,840 Speaker 5: the drama and a goalie back healing a ball into 2116 01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:35,880 Speaker 5: the net and scoring a goal was great because it 2117 01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:39,200 Speaker 5: got the league and the game trending across all of 2118 01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:42,439 Speaker 5: sports Twitter and all of United States Twitter last. 2119 01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:44,879 Speaker 3: Night, and you spoke about with the tie. The interesting 2120 01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:47,720 Speaker 3: part also beyond I mean, if that wasn't enough, was 2121 01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:50,040 Speaker 3: that you did have an injury. So you had an 2122 01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:54,240 Speaker 3: injured player standing on the end line, so playing shorthanded, 2123 01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:55,720 Speaker 3: plus the goalie a. 2124 01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,320 Speaker 5: Player evaluated for a head injury, and that was a 2125 01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:01,360 Speaker 5: controversy on social media because because Angel City was not 2126 01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:05,000 Speaker 5: allowed to substitute a player in the game, so in effect, 2127 01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:07,960 Speaker 5: they were actually two players down. It was like a 2128 01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:12,360 Speaker 5: two man advantage in hockey in that situation. But while 2129 01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:15,840 Speaker 5: all that controversy and going against Angel City is not great, 2130 01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,640 Speaker 5: controversy and drama. 2131 01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:23,800 Speaker 3: Is good for a sell. Here's my guy. That's good 2132 01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:25,760 Speaker 3: selling by Isaac Lowencron right there. 2133 01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:29,000 Speaker 1: I also remember what we tasked Isaac with. It was 2134 01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:30,160 Speaker 1: a YadA YadA YadA. 2135 01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:33,040 Speaker 5: Oh really, okay, I'll do YadA YadA YadA on Wednesday. 2136 01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:36,000 Speaker 3: Done, done deal, all right, I really was going to 2137 01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:38,759 Speaker 3: go to the sea is angry that day or something 2138 01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:42,559 Speaker 3: like that. All sorts of random costanzaisms that we can 2139 01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:45,559 Speaker 3: pull out as we flow, which might be the fact 2140 01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:47,920 Speaker 3: and might be the attitude of a lot of people 2141 01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:50,760 Speaker 3: for the upcoming series that will start in less than 2142 01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,679 Speaker 3: an hour from now, as the heat and the Knicks 2143 01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:56,760 Speaker 3: get things started. Now, for me, I'm gonna have to 2144 01:51:56,800 --> 01:52:01,439 Speaker 3: wear it so long as Jalen Brunson and company continued, 2145 01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:04,640 Speaker 3: Julius Randall not expected to go. But you know me, 2146 01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:08,280 Speaker 3: I'm a Jimmy Butler guy from way back and watching 2147 01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:11,839 Speaker 3: what he did celebrating his twenty dollars cups of coffee 2148 01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:14,519 Speaker 3: in the bubble, all of those things. I had the 2149 01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:16,640 Speaker 3: heat that I picked them, saying, if they can make 2150 01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,160 Speaker 3: a run now, Tyler Hero getting hurt, I thought I 2151 01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:22,240 Speaker 3: was gonna get torpedoed. We talk a lot about that 2152 01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:24,800 Speaker 3: series against the Bucks, Giannis's injury, and then we come 2153 01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:28,840 Speaker 3: to find out Mike Budenholzer's brother had been killed in 2154 01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:29,479 Speaker 3: an accident. 2155 01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:36,479 Speaker 1: So like lots of yeah after Game four, Yeah, just 2156 01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:41,680 Speaker 1: awful scenario. And Budenholzer caught a lot of heat for 2157 01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:47,040 Speaker 1: what happened coaching wise, condolences to him and you know, 2158 01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:51,000 Speaker 1: their entire family, But it was I mean, you blow 2159 01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:53,920 Speaker 1: Game four and then the way that you blow Game 2160 01:52:54,000 --> 01:53:01,040 Speaker 1: five just it's I don't I A change has to 2161 01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:03,599 Speaker 1: be made, and that's all I'll say. And I'll also 2162 01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:06,599 Speaker 1: say this, I don't know how much Knicks Bucks would 2163 01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:13,000 Speaker 1: grab the attention the spotlight away from the other playoff series. 2164 01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:16,880 Speaker 1: But you're gonna hear a lot of you know, the 2165 01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,519 Speaker 1: New York market, And I hate that sort of talk 2166 01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:21,679 Speaker 1: in sports talk radio because I don't think people care. 2167 01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't think people care what the ratings are gonna be. Yeah, 2168 01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:26,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna go crazy in New York City because the 2169 01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:30,240 Speaker 1: Knicks are in it. But this is of the four 2170 01:53:30,439 --> 01:53:33,600 Speaker 1: playoff series and we don't whoever the Lakers play is 2171 01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:36,760 Speaker 1: going to still be intriguing. Of the four playoff series 2172 01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:39,800 Speaker 1: that remain in the NBA playoffs, Heat Knicks to me, 2173 01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:44,760 Speaker 1: is is so unappealing compared to the other three, Like, 2174 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:48,880 Speaker 1: it's not even close, and it's not from it's not 2175 01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:52,960 Speaker 1: the back in the day Heat Nicks. And maybe at 2176 01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:54,560 Speaker 1: some point it will get to that point for the 2177 01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:58,840 Speaker 1: Knicks MIC, but I have I have little interest in 2178 01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:00,720 Speaker 1: watching how that series plays out. 2179 01:54:01,120 --> 01:54:04,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, we watched Phoenix and Denver game one yesterday. Jamal 2180 01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:08,439 Speaker 3: Murray looks like he's that guy when the spotlights come up. 2181 01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:11,640 Speaker 3: Even Nikola Jokic say we're following him. Sure, he's a 2182 01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:16,000 Speaker 3: two time MVP, maybe gonna win his third straight. And 2183 01:54:16,080 --> 01:54:18,479 Speaker 3: he's saying we're following him because that's how well he 2184 01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:22,040 Speaker 3: plays in the playoffs. We've seen numerous lists, as we 2185 01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:24,559 Speaker 3: like to do from stat Muse and whatever else, of 2186 01:54:24,800 --> 01:54:27,360 Speaker 3: he's got more games of this caliber than this guy, 2187 01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:31,560 Speaker 3: this guy and they're all legendary all time players, just 2188 01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:33,720 Speaker 3: kind of talking about what he's been in this moment, 2189 01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:36,680 Speaker 3: and you forget how good he was because he was 2190 01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:40,080 Speaker 3: hurt for so long. So coming into the playoffs for Denver, 2191 01:54:40,160 --> 01:54:43,040 Speaker 3: it was a we don't know, we haven't seen these 2192 01:54:43,080 --> 01:54:46,120 Speaker 3: three and at Michael Porter Junior, who wasn't as big 2193 01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:48,600 Speaker 3: as a factor in Game one, but all of a 2194 01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:50,840 Speaker 3: sudden you're like, all right, you've got Jamal Murray and 2195 01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:52,920 Speaker 3: we know what you can pencil in what Jokic is 2196 01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:53,960 Speaker 3: gonna do on a given night. 2197 01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:57,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, there there's a lot of I think that when 2198 01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:00,600 Speaker 1: you looked at where the Nuggets were that they had 2199 01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:02,680 Speaker 1: Jamal Murray. But to your point, you didn't know that 2200 01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:06,879 Speaker 1: it would be that Jamal Murray that you know, fifty 2201 01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:09,880 Speaker 1: point Jamal Murray in the bubble, that sort of guy. 2202 01:55:10,280 --> 01:55:12,640 Speaker 1: And if you knew that, I think that there would 2203 01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:16,440 Speaker 1: be a lot more talk on Denver. I don't know 2204 01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:20,160 Speaker 1: how in this series, like in heading into it, you 2205 01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:24,760 Speaker 1: could pick anybody but Denver. I know Phoenix has their 2206 01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:30,040 Speaker 1: big three, but when you look at what happened with 2207 01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:34,760 Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton on Saturday night, that's not a good sign. 2208 01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:36,680 Speaker 3: Well let's talk about that for a second, because I 2209 01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:40,320 Speaker 3: had that in the notes of get absolutely killed on 2210 01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:43,000 Speaker 3: social media, and there's plenty of memes where there's just 2211 01:55:43,120 --> 01:55:46,080 Speaker 3: no effort defensively. This guy's supposed to be a rim protector. 2212 01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:48,320 Speaker 3: This can must be your big man down low, and 2213 01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:54,120 Speaker 3: he's loafing getting back into a play. Rebounding was timid 2214 01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:56,560 Speaker 3: and really a non factor. 2215 01:55:56,880 --> 01:56:00,400 Speaker 1: You can't. You can't be a team in the NBA 2216 01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:02,040 Speaker 1: playoffs with just three guys. 2217 01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:03,440 Speaker 3: You can't. 2218 01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:06,840 Speaker 1: It's just it's and And when the Suns made the 2219 01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:10,560 Speaker 1: Durant trade, I don't blame them for making the Durant trade. 2220 01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:13,720 Speaker 1: I think that the Durant trade was the reason why 2221 01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:16,640 Speaker 1: I don't blame the Mavericks for making the Kyrie trade. Now, 2222 01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:18,320 Speaker 1: the Suns gave up a heck of a lot more 2223 01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:22,320 Speaker 1: for Durant than the Mavericks gave up for Kyrie Irving. 2224 01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:26,480 Speaker 1: But when you look at how the Sons are constructed, 2225 01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, guys got minutes last night, but they're not 2226 01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:33,879 Speaker 1: legit minutes. And there's I just I don't know how 2227 01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:37,520 Speaker 1: you could take that big three, two of them, whence 2228 01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:41,000 Speaker 1: you are aging big threes and prone to injury, and 2229 01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:44,800 Speaker 1: think that they could beat this nuggetsy not just one game. 2230 01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm not taking a victory lap, but you know, Denver's 2231 01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:52,200 Speaker 1: got guys they like they and and if it isn't 2232 01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:55,800 Speaker 1: Jamal Murray, then you still have Jokich, your two time MVP, 2233 01:56:56,240 --> 01:56:59,120 Speaker 1: who knows maybe three time MVP, and you have other 2234 01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:00,720 Speaker 1: players to help complement that. 2235 01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:04,000 Speaker 3: The Sun's Jordan with three yeah as well, right. 2236 01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know if you're gonna get that 2237 01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:08,480 Speaker 1: every single night, but there you got it last night. 2238 01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:12,480 Speaker 1: So I just the Suns are just so thin, not 2239 01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:15,160 Speaker 1: only just on their bench, but also just literally of 2240 01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:17,200 Speaker 1: who's on the court. And I'm not talking about Kevin 2241 01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:20,520 Speaker 1: Durant's wait of what you can, what you can, what 2242 01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:23,320 Speaker 1: you can provide and so so even that series of 2243 01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:26,280 Speaker 1: seeing like how far the Sons can even test Denver, though, 2244 01:57:26,400 --> 01:57:29,360 Speaker 1: is more intriguing to me. I don't think it's gonna 2245 01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:31,800 Speaker 1: be a you know, a seventy five sixty eight final 2246 01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:34,760 Speaker 1: between Nix and Heat. But and I may be bitter 2247 01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:39,680 Speaker 1: because Miami beat the Bucks, but I just without Tyler Hero, 2248 01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:43,440 Speaker 1: you know, the Garden atmosphere will be neat. But I'm 2249 01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:46,680 Speaker 1: sorry if Joellenbian comes back six or Celtics is intriguing. 2250 01:57:47,640 --> 01:57:50,000 Speaker 1: We talked about Nuggets Suns and why that can be intriguing, 2251 01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:52,280 Speaker 1: and the Lakers and whoever they play are gonna be 2252 01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:54,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the marquee series of the semi finals. 2253 01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:57,560 Speaker 1: So it's a distant fourth for me, even though you'll 2254 01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:00,400 Speaker 1: hear people be like, oh, the NBA loves this, Yeah, 2255 01:58:00,440 --> 01:58:02,080 Speaker 1: of course they do. You know who doesn't love it? 2256 01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:04,480 Speaker 1: The rest of America? They don't. 2257 01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:09,480 Speaker 3: Who cares insufferable? Nick's talk starting down in three two. 2258 01:58:09,600 --> 01:58:12,320 Speaker 3: All right, that's in another hour or more. Now, I'm 2259 01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:14,120 Speaker 3: not saying Steve Hartman is going to take you down 2260 01:58:14,120 --> 01:58:17,520 Speaker 3: that bad path. I'm just talking nationally in general, because 2261 01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:20,280 Speaker 3: we're an hour away from tip off Philly Boston. The 2262 01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:23,920 Speaker 3: intriguing part you mentioned Joel Embiid when he got a 2263 01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:28,680 Speaker 3: hurt didn't seem fairly innocuous, seemed like a minor thing, 2264 01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:33,080 Speaker 3: potential for a suspension with that high leg kick that 2265 01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:37,640 Speaker 3: didn't come down. But then they finished the first round sweep, 2266 01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:40,520 Speaker 3: and now we find out and we don't know when 2267 01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:43,000 Speaker 3: we're going to see him. Doc Rivers in his media 2268 01:58:43,040 --> 01:58:47,200 Speaker 3: availability on Saturday, he's like, well, he's already doubtful for Monday. Okay. 2269 01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:50,760 Speaker 3: That's not a good sign in short or long term 2270 01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:54,920 Speaker 3: here for their playoff aspirations, given what he's meant to 2271 01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:57,960 Speaker 3: this squad, and it feeds narratives. We were talking about 2272 01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:01,200 Speaker 3: narratives from the NFL side of things, histories and whatever, 2273 01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:04,480 Speaker 3: and you get excited about these sixers because you actually thought, 2274 01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:07,120 Speaker 3: all right, it's coalescing. But you always have to have 2275 01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:10,000 Speaker 3: that dot dot And I'm tired of having to do 2276 01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:13,160 Speaker 3: that with so many NBA players and teams anymore. Boy, 2277 01:59:13,200 --> 01:59:15,040 Speaker 3: I really like to look at these guys, but it's 2278 01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:17,160 Speaker 3: April first. You got to get through mid June. 2279 01:59:17,200 --> 01:59:20,360 Speaker 1: I also think like that injuries and how they play 2280 01:59:20,400 --> 01:59:23,760 Speaker 1: out in team's paths. You can't like a like a 2281 01:59:23,800 --> 01:59:27,879 Speaker 1: first round injury, and there were a bunch, yeah, I Gannis, 2282 01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:32,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned embiid. It really doesn't doesn't have its effect 2283 01:59:32,200 --> 01:59:38,760 Speaker 1: until I think now, conference semifinals, conference finals, obviously NBA finals. 2284 01:59:39,080 --> 01:59:40,280 Speaker 1: There are a lot of teams that have dealt with 2285 01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:42,840 Speaker 1: injuries in the first round, but it's when when you 2286 01:59:42,880 --> 01:59:45,320 Speaker 1: get down to this the final eight, in this final four, 2287 01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:48,720 Speaker 1: that's when it really plays out in the absences of stars. 2288 01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:52,920 Speaker 1: I don't think right now, despite the numerous injuries that 2289 01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:56,160 Speaker 1: we had in the first round, I don't think this 2290 01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,400 Speaker 1: is going to be known as the playoffs where everyone 2291 01:59:58,520 --> 02:00:00,720 Speaker 1: was injured. Now, if these happened late on, if now 2292 02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:04,720 Speaker 1: you're doing names and put it out in the atmosphere, 2293 02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:08,000 Speaker 1: but if big stars are getting hurt moving on, then 2294 02:00:08,120 --> 02:00:11,080 Speaker 1: I think it becomes like a conversation of all right, 2295 02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:14,480 Speaker 1: this is a championship tainted because of this team's path. 2296 02:00:14,960 --> 02:00:17,760 Speaker 1: One round does not taint it as of right now. 2297 02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:20,160 Speaker 3: He's Dan Bayer, I, Mike Carmen. This is Fox Sports Sunday, 2298 02:00:20,200 --> 02:00:23,160 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio coming up and we'll do about fifteen 2299 02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:25,680 Speaker 3: minutes frou Now you mentioned the Lakers and whoever they play. 2300 02:00:25,880 --> 02:00:28,520 Speaker 3: We'll talk about the scenarios and which is more entertaining 2301 02:00:28,520 --> 02:00:31,760 Speaker 3: to us and maybe good for the NBA.

Did you take that 2331 02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:01,960 Speaker 3: part of the film? 2332 02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:04,600 Speaker 1: No, I haven't even seen The Lion King, so you 2333 02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:08,360 Speaker 1: have no idea. My wife watched it with our son, 2334 02:02:08,400 --> 02:02:10,920 Speaker 1: who I don't think really had an idea on Now. 2335 02:02:10,920 --> 02:02:13,000 Speaker 3: There's a lot of big themes in there, a lot 2336 02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:14,640 Speaker 3: of Shakespearean stuff going on. 2337 02:02:15,120 --> 02:02:17,480 Speaker 1: It was a lot, yeah, but that is good times, 2338 02:02:17,520 --> 02:02:18,440 Speaker 1: good times had by all. 2339 02:02:18,480 --> 02:02:20,880 Speaker 3: There you go, well, happy birthday, Happy birthday mom. 2340 02:02:21,080 --> 02:02:23,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Mom's birthday tomorrow.

That was me filibustering to not want 2343 02:02:29,560 --> 02:02:31,640 Speaker 3: to talk about this next topic. But I have to 2344 02:02:31,640 --> 02:02:35,160 Speaker 3: do because we all have these moments in our lives, 2345 02:02:35,200 --> 02:02:40,880 Speaker 3: at work and our personal relationships where there is things 2346 02:02:40,920 --> 02:02:46,240 Speaker 3: can become too much. Right, the oversharing friend, the friend 2347 02:02:46,280 --> 02:02:51,080 Speaker 3: that just texts you repeatedly about anything. And I'm not 2348 02:02:51,080 --> 02:02:53,480 Speaker 3: talking about you scrolling their Instagram and them showing you 2349 02:02:53,520 --> 02:02:55,920 Speaker 3: all the stuff they ate and whatever. No, just text 2350 02:02:56,160 --> 02:02:58,440 Speaker 3: that just keep coming to where you got to mute it. 2351 02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:01,560 Speaker 3: You've got to pause. If they're on social media, maybe 2352 02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:05,200 Speaker 3: you have to mute them, unfollow whatever whatever you do 2353 02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:08,240 Speaker 3: to keep some peace. But you need to keep your 2354 02:03:08,600 --> 02:03:10,640 Speaker 3: your frame of mind. For me, it's come to that 2355 02:03:10,680 --> 02:03:14,200 Speaker 3: point with my teams, particularly Chicago White Sox now much 2356 02:03:14,200 --> 02:03:18,320 Speaker 3: made yesterday Luise Robert a little groundball that he didn't 2357 02:03:18,360 --> 02:03:22,600 Speaker 3: get out of the box. Uh and killed on social 2358 02:03:22,680 --> 02:03:26,680 Speaker 3: media as you should be uh and all the way through, 2359 02:03:26,720 --> 02:03:31,320 Speaker 3: and then later talked about how he had a hamstring 2360 02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:34,480 Speaker 3: tightness and aggravation that he didn't bother to tell anybody 2361 02:03:34,520 --> 02:03:38,280 Speaker 3: about when asked in his postgame presser after he'd been 2362 02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:42,080 Speaker 3: pulled from the game. Didn't even know the bench coach's 2363 02:03:42,160 --> 02:03:43,839 Speaker 3: name or any of the guys that he was supposed 2364 02:03:43,840 --> 02:03:46,120 Speaker 3: to talk to. So a bad thing. But for me, 2365 02:03:46,160 --> 02:03:50,760 Speaker 3: it's been update after update of just getting bludgeoned on 2366 02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:55,480 Speaker 3: a nightly basis. Even yesterday, no hitter man good, never 2367 02:03:55,640 --> 02:03:59,760 Speaker 3: was a good Yes, no nice quart tent. All right, 2368 02:04:00,120 --> 02:04:04,920 Speaker 3: there we are again. You got injuries, You've got underperforming players. 2369 02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:07,760 Speaker 3: You're now on the short list of three teams that 2370 02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:10,680 Speaker 3: have never given out one hundred million dollar plus contract 2371 02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:13,640 Speaker 3: because even the Pirates have done that. Even the Pirates 2372 02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:17,400 Speaker 3: have done that in Major League Baseball. But and yesterday 2373 02:04:17,440 --> 02:04:21,160 Speaker 3: you had chance of sell the team repeatedly being captured 2374 02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:23,840 Speaker 3: on social media. But I'm to the point, after one 2375 02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:26,440 Speaker 3: month in I need a break. I need to take 2376 02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:28,720 Speaker 3: a time out. We talked about it earlier. You know, 2377 02:04:28,760 --> 02:04:30,720 Speaker 3: go see other people. I'm not gonna go see other people. 2378 02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:34,880 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do any of that. I'm just pausing now. 2379 02:04:34,920 --> 02:04:37,240 Speaker 3: Will I pay attention to wins and losses, Sure, but 2380 02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:40,640 Speaker 3: I'm not taking that information in the moment because digesting 2381 02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:43,800 Speaker 3: it minute to minute and watching the chaos that's ensued 2382 02:04:44,080 --> 02:04:46,960 Speaker 3: as MLB sends me my notifications of hey, they just 2383 02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,080 Speaker 3: gave up another four run. I can't do it. 2384 02:04:49,360 --> 02:04:53,320 Speaker 1: There's levels to MLB bad, right, There's there's different levels. 2385 02:04:53,360 --> 02:04:55,120 Speaker 1: There's there's A's bad. 2386 02:04:55,520 --> 02:04:58,360 Speaker 3: Oh, you're gonna do the Billy Billy Bean Brad Pitt. 2387 02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:02,040 Speaker 3: There's the Yankees, and then there's a bunch of teams. 2388 02:05:02,680 --> 02:05:08,480 Speaker 1: There's there's there's A's bad, there's Nationals bad, and then 2389 02:05:08,520 --> 02:05:12,400 Speaker 1: there's Royals bad. And like that's that's kind of like 2390 02:05:12,440 --> 02:05:14,840 Speaker 1: how I felt entering the season. Well, the Nationals, guess what, 2391 02:05:15,360 --> 02:05:17,480 Speaker 1: playing a little bit better baseball, But you shouldn't be 2392 02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:20,160 Speaker 1: commended for having a winning percentage of you know, three 2393 02:05:20,240 --> 02:05:25,000 Speaker 1: forty five or three forty six. The White Sox now 2394 02:05:25,240 --> 02:05:28,560 Speaker 1: tied for tied for fourth, but let's be real, they're 2395 02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:30,800 Speaker 1: tied for last. Yeah, it's the same thing with the 2396 02:05:30,880 --> 02:05:34,360 Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals. That is appalling. Roys were one of 2397 02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:36,840 Speaker 1: the other three teams right that didn't have one hundred 2398 02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:39,680 Speaker 1: million dollar contract than the A's and the White Sox. 2399 02:05:40,320 --> 02:05:44,040 Speaker 1: Something with that. I think it's I think it's awful 2400 02:05:45,040 --> 02:05:50,520 Speaker 1: that it's April thirtieth and you have teams with seven wins, 2401 02:05:51,240 --> 02:05:54,560 Speaker 1: and it'd be in your case where you have someone 2402 02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:58,280 Speaker 1: like Dylan c who is I mean, you know, it'd 2403 02:05:58,680 --> 02:06:01,280 Speaker 1: be a top line start on any team in the 2404 02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:06,360 Speaker 1: big leagues, and then you have everything else what a waste. 2405 02:06:06,680 --> 02:06:08,480 Speaker 3: Well, and they went and paid a bunch of the 2406 02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:11,240 Speaker 3: young players before they had to, which sometimes a good 2407 02:06:11,240 --> 02:06:13,840 Speaker 3: thing in baseball. We've seen it. Certainly the Braves have 2408 02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:16,120 Speaker 3: signed a number of players who worked a lot of 2409 02:06:16,120 --> 02:06:19,440 Speaker 3: the guys they signed in Chicago. All they've done is 2410 02:06:19,480 --> 02:06:24,040 Speaker 3: be hurt after signing those deals, where what seemed to 2411 02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:28,480 Speaker 3: be minor injuries become long standing problems, taking them out 2412 02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:29,440 Speaker 3: of the lineup repeatedly. 2413 02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:33,040 Speaker 1: When you're entering the season as a White Sox fan 2414 02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:38,360 Speaker 1: and my Brewer phantom isn't I'm whatever the least team 2415 02:06:38,360 --> 02:06:41,680 Speaker 1: that I that's my favorite radar, but I hear the 2416 02:06:41,760 --> 02:06:44,640 Speaker 1: least about it, So I'm not sitting there being like, 2417 02:06:44,680 --> 02:06:46,080 Speaker 1: all right, I think this is this is the brew 2418 02:06:46,120 --> 02:06:49,360 Speaker 1: Cruise year. But when you're looking at this season for 2419 02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:52,760 Speaker 1: the White Sox, what are your expectations. 2420 02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:55,040 Speaker 3: Well, the hope coming in and hope being a dangerous word, 2421 02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:57,040 Speaker 3: as we always talk about and Shawshank had had two 2422 02:06:57,080 --> 02:07:00,200 Speaker 3: meetings the best of things, and you know, prom us 2423 02:07:00,200 --> 02:07:02,840 Speaker 3: of a better tomorrow and hopefully what we all wake 2424 02:07:02,960 --> 02:07:06,600 Speaker 3: up with each morning that we're blessed to go have 2425 02:07:06,640 --> 02:07:08,720 Speaker 3: a shot to be better than we were the day before. 2426 02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:11,440 Speaker 3: And then hope is also a dangerous thing because you 2427 02:07:11,440 --> 02:07:14,640 Speaker 3: can be disappointed. Sure, And for the White Sox, given 2428 02:07:14,680 --> 02:07:17,160 Speaker 3: the two wild cards, the hope was that you'd be 2429 02:07:17,240 --> 02:07:20,720 Speaker 3: vying that come to trade deadlines, you're at least within 2430 02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:23,520 Speaker 3: shouting range to where you could say, all right, we 2431 02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:28,120 Speaker 3: can make a move to maybe solidify that slot. Versus 2432 02:07:28,200 --> 02:07:30,600 Speaker 3: it's the end of April and now you have to 2433 02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:33,600 Speaker 3: play at a ridiculous clip to try to get yourself 2434 02:07:33,640 --> 02:07:37,880 Speaker 3: back into contention, right, because I mean, take it from 2435 02:07:37,880 --> 02:07:42,560 Speaker 3: a personal statistical standpoint, right, We'll watch the Padres series right, 2436 02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:45,200 Speaker 3: and this thing in Mexico and it's all great. Wan 2437 02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:48,480 Speaker 3: Sota struggled and he's been awful for a month. He 2438 02:07:48,560 --> 02:07:51,440 Speaker 3: was awful the last year, and it's like, even if 2439 02:07:51,440 --> 02:07:54,680 Speaker 3: he has a killer rest of the season, I mean, 2440 02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:57,400 Speaker 3: you're you're starting from such a low point that you're 2441 02:07:57,400 --> 02:07:59,320 Speaker 3: going to get to mediocrity when it comes to a 2442 02:07:59,320 --> 02:08:01,800 Speaker 3: batting average, hit some home runs, might have some big 2443 02:08:01,800 --> 02:08:03,960 Speaker 3: at bats before it's all said none, Dodgers aren't running 2444 02:08:03,960 --> 02:08:06,520 Speaker 3: away and hiding. Nobody in the NL West's going to 2445 02:08:07,120 --> 02:08:10,240 Speaker 3: but the idea being that it's still probably going to 2446 02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:13,480 Speaker 3: be a disappointment. Maybe you tie it to the honest thing. Yeah, 2447 02:08:13,480 --> 02:08:15,280 Speaker 3: you could pick out some points that were pretty good, 2448 02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:18,040 Speaker 3: but overall it was not the season you expected for 2449 02:08:18,080 --> 02:08:21,160 Speaker 3: the White Sox after a month, I have no idea. 2450 02:08:21,640 --> 02:08:24,320 Speaker 3: I mean, how many rosaries I can say to where 2451 02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:26,480 Speaker 3: suddenly things start going right in their world. 2452 02:08:26,600 --> 02:08:30,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's not going to turn around. And that's 2453 02:08:30,200 --> 02:08:32,560 Speaker 1: like they got to be. The most disheartening thing is 2454 02:08:33,200 --> 02:08:36,520 Speaker 1: a month ago, when it's opening day, you at least 2455 02:08:36,600 --> 02:08:38,480 Speaker 1: have an idea or a thought of you know what 2456 02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:40,960 Speaker 1: this could you know, maybe we could do something, Maybe 2457 02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,120 Speaker 1: we can get some momentum, not that you're going to 2458 02:08:43,160 --> 02:08:45,560 Speaker 1: start the year thirteen and oh like the Rays did, right, 2459 02:08:45,640 --> 02:08:48,040 Speaker 1: but that hey, maybe you jump out and you know, 2460 02:08:48,080 --> 02:08:49,080 Speaker 1: you go eight and three. 2461 02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:51,160 Speaker 3: But if this guy could do what he did in 2462 02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:54,840 Speaker 3: twenty twenty and we get the September this guy had 2463 02:08:55,160 --> 02:08:57,560 Speaker 3: and cobble it together to where all right, this lineup 2464 02:08:57,600 --> 02:08:59,800 Speaker 3: that had a lot of promise, a lot of headlines, 2465 02:09:00,040 --> 02:09:04,000 Speaker 3: lot of anticipation, actually plays together and plays up tech Well. 2466 02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:07,800 Speaker 3: Tim Anderson got hurt on a on a rundown play 2467 02:09:07,840 --> 02:09:10,840 Speaker 3: where he got hitting the knee because he can't get 2468 02:09:10,840 --> 02:09:12,960 Speaker 3: his leg out of the way and the ball wasn't coming, 2469 02:09:13,520 --> 02:09:15,840 Speaker 3: but he still gets plowed into and he misses a month. 2470 02:09:16,520 --> 02:09:18,640 Speaker 3: All right, So you're at the point where you're like, 2471 02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:20,280 Speaker 3: all right, when he comes back, do you just go 2472 02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:23,320 Speaker 3: and put him on the trade market. Here his medicals 2473 02:09:23,440 --> 02:09:23,920 Speaker 3: check out. 2474 02:09:24,240 --> 02:09:28,200 Speaker 1: It's funny in the NFL because we've joked about the 2475 02:09:28,200 --> 02:09:31,120 Speaker 1: playoff picture that they'll show in week seven. Yeah, and 2476 02:09:31,160 --> 02:09:34,440 Speaker 1: you'll have sixteen teams in a conference. They'll be the 2477 02:09:34,440 --> 02:09:36,880 Speaker 1: division leaders, the wild cards, and then there's nine teams 2478 02:09:36,880 --> 02:09:39,560 Speaker 1: in the hunt and you're like, well, that's the entire conference. 2479 02:09:40,600 --> 02:09:44,919 Speaker 1: You left off one team there. You left off the Texans. 2480 02:09:44,920 --> 02:09:46,840 Speaker 1: That's the only team up here. There was a point 2481 02:09:47,400 --> 02:09:49,480 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when the Seahawks were left off. 2482 02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:50,920 Speaker 1: They were one of the two teams that were not 2483 02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:53,080 Speaker 1: put on the end the hunt that I was very disappointed. 2484 02:09:53,080 --> 02:09:56,680 Speaker 1: It wasn't last year they made the playoffs, but that like, 2485 02:09:56,720 --> 02:10:00,480 Speaker 1: there's there's hope in the NFL season, even now with 2486 02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:03,360 Speaker 1: the expanded playoff. If your season gets off to a 2487 02:10:03,440 --> 02:10:06,040 Speaker 1: slow start, if you're owing four, you likely have an 2488 02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:08,360 Speaker 1: idea that your team isn't too great. But again it's 2489 02:10:08,880 --> 02:10:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, how many sundays of this do you get? 2490 02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:14,120 Speaker 1: Can you enjoy? You're not going to abandon yourself after 2491 02:10:14,160 --> 02:10:18,880 Speaker 1: the first month this will you can abandon this because 2492 02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:21,880 Speaker 1: this is why? Why should you waste any more time? 2493 02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:26,360 Speaker 1: Why for an organization if they don't care, aren't making 2494 02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:29,920 Speaker 1: smart decisions. It's you know the A's and then moving 2495 02:10:29,960 --> 02:10:32,560 Speaker 1: to Las Vegas is such a you know, the A's 2496 02:10:32,640 --> 02:10:35,320 Speaker 1: fans support of that team up there, but it's obviously 2497 02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:39,520 Speaker 1: what ownership did to the team, and using the misdirection 2498 02:10:39,600 --> 02:10:41,720 Speaker 1: as such a not word, but trying to make it 2499 02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:44,080 Speaker 1: seem like that was the problem whether they didn't invest 2500 02:10:44,120 --> 02:10:47,680 Speaker 1: in anybody or traded everybody away, it didn't give people 2501 02:10:47,760 --> 02:10:51,800 Speaker 1: reason to come to a ballpark. And so now you're 2502 02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:54,440 Speaker 1: sitting sitting here, You're not even in May. Why would 2503 02:10:54,520 --> 02:10:56,160 Speaker 1: you want to go to the South side of Chicago 2504 02:10:56,200 --> 02:10:59,360 Speaker 1: and watch the game? Like there's a hundred other things 2505 02:10:59,360 --> 02:11:04,400 Speaker 1: that you could rather do then watch a team that 2506 02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:07,920 Speaker 1: now is tied with the Royals for dead last and 2507 02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:13,040 Speaker 1: has no interest in I don't know providing entertainment for you. 2508 02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:16,680 Speaker 1: I just I don't blame you for muting and turning away. 2509 02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:19,920 Speaker 3: But take it further. My brothers and I having our conversations, 2510 02:11:19,920 --> 02:11:22,040 Speaker 3: we always try to get together for a game here 2511 02:11:22,200 --> 02:11:25,200 Speaker 3: or back at home in Chicago. And the White Sox 2512 02:11:25,200 --> 02:11:27,960 Speaker 3: actually come to play a Dodger Stadium in June, right 2513 02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:30,560 Speaker 3: after my daughter's high school graduation. All of these things. 2514 02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:32,720 Speaker 3: When we looked at each other, I don't know that 2515 02:11:32,760 --> 02:11:34,080 Speaker 3: we're gonna make an effort to get there. 2516 02:11:34,160 --> 02:11:35,400 Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't, as much. 2517 02:11:35,240 --> 02:11:37,960 Speaker 3: As going to Dodger Stadium is a thing and a 2518 02:11:37,960 --> 02:11:41,240 Speaker 3: big deal and the White Sox playing there, and maybe 2519 02:11:41,240 --> 02:11:43,440 Speaker 3: I get to run off a bunch of stats about 2520 02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:48,200 Speaker 3: the fifty nine World Series. They lost. The excitement to 2521 02:11:48,280 --> 02:11:52,480 Speaker 3: go there, certainly not there, but excitement for the second 2522 02:11:52,560 --> 02:11:55,360 Speaker 3: round of the playoffs certainly coming up. Not except for you. 2523 02:11:55,360 --> 02:11:57,400 Speaker 3: You don't like Nick's heat.

Now pay attention to who we are, Murray, 2530 02:12:17,440 --> 02:12:20,720 Speaker 3: so I know Iowa SAMs invested coming out of the 2531 02:12:20,760 --> 02:12:24,280 Speaker 3: Iowa part of things. We got de Aaron Fox Sabonas 2532 02:12:24,320 --> 02:12:27,160 Speaker 3: who likes to mix it up on occasion and then 2533 02:12:27,200 --> 02:12:30,520 Speaker 3: other times runs away from contact. And then you have 2534 02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:37,480 Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors, the team that revolutionized the game. 2535 02:12:37,560 --> 02:12:42,200 Speaker 3: That's what you'll say. Steph Curry, Draymond Clay, your core 2536 02:12:42,320 --> 02:12:46,280 Speaker 3: is still there. Jordan Poole in and out. We don't 2537 02:12:46,320 --> 02:12:50,160 Speaker 3: know what those relationships are. But with that autopsy turvy 2538 02:12:50,640 --> 02:12:53,640 Speaker 3: series two to two and now one to one, winning 2539 02:12:53,680 --> 02:12:57,520 Speaker 3: on each other's winning road games, something Sacramento did during 2540 02:12:57,520 --> 02:12:59,600 Speaker 3: the year in Golden State, not so much, but they 2541 02:12:59,600 --> 02:13:03,320 Speaker 3: did take Game five, which is the better matchup for 2542 02:13:03,440 --> 02:13:05,240 Speaker 3: you as a viewer, Dan Bar. 2543 02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:10,880 Speaker 1: As much as I want the Kings to win this series, 2544 02:13:10,920 --> 02:13:12,800 Speaker 1: and I think it's great for them, and I think 2545 02:13:12,600 --> 02:13:16,560 Speaker 1: I think it's I think they're already winners, there's you 2546 02:13:16,600 --> 02:13:20,440 Speaker 1: can't you can't turn away from Warriors Lakers and Curry 2547 02:13:20,440 --> 02:13:21,520 Speaker 1: against Lebron. 2548 02:13:21,240 --> 02:13:23,600 Speaker 3: Two old boxers getting after it, heavyweights. 2549 02:13:24,040 --> 02:13:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but also with something at stake, like of going 2550 02:13:27,480 --> 02:13:29,800 Speaker 1: to the Western Conference finals. You know, I don't even 2551 02:13:29,800 --> 02:13:32,280 Speaker 1: think we look at the Warriors as defending champs anymore. 2552 02:13:32,360 --> 02:13:33,200 Speaker 3: That's a long time ago. 2553 02:13:33,240 --> 02:13:36,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is so to have that, I think, you know, 2554 02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:39,000 Speaker 1: I just talked about like, oh, ratings, it's not even 2555 02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:41,040 Speaker 1: a ratings thing. It's just to have those brands, to 2556 02:13:41,080 --> 02:13:44,720 Speaker 1: be able to to to have those players on that 2557 02:13:44,760 --> 02:13:48,040 Speaker 1: same court and play of some you know, play a 2558 02:13:48,160 --> 02:13:52,720 Speaker 1: series with extreme substance, I think would be great. I 2559 02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:55,760 Speaker 1: think Lakers Kings would be very interesting and probably be 2560 02:13:55,800 --> 02:14:00,160 Speaker 1: my favorite series. But I think that Warriors Lakers would 2561 02:14:00,200 --> 02:14:02,520 Speaker 1: just be really off the charts. 2562 02:14:02,800 --> 02:14:05,839 Speaker 3: It just adds so much, right the storyline of the Kings. 2563 02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:08,960 Speaker 3: You could sell it to a degree, young team, here's 2564 02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:12,800 Speaker 3: some guys you should know going forward. Maybe a celebration 2565 02:14:12,880 --> 02:14:16,280 Speaker 3: of Deer and Fox a little bit. But I think 2566 02:14:16,360 --> 02:14:20,240 Speaker 3: when you get down to it, from the historical perspective, 2567 02:14:21,200 --> 02:14:25,200 Speaker 3: say nothing of having Los Angeles and San Francisco in 2568 02:14:25,280 --> 02:14:27,600 Speaker 3: the mix. And that's for the TV people to care about. 2569 02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:31,320 Speaker 3: But for fandom, their names. You know, people that maybe 2570 02:14:31,320 --> 02:14:34,840 Speaker 3: you hate watch on either side, whether it's Draymond Green, 2571 02:14:35,080 --> 02:14:37,320 Speaker 3: whether you're tired of Steph Curry, because I know there's 2572 02:14:37,360 --> 02:14:39,560 Speaker 3: been a period where many people got tired of Steph 2573 02:14:39,560 --> 02:14:42,760 Speaker 3: Curry and his mouthpiece chewing the double dribble that wasn't 2574 02:14:42,800 --> 02:14:46,120 Speaker 3: called the other night that we saw live and looked around. 2575 02:14:46,120 --> 02:14:48,920 Speaker 3: It's like, well they didn't do anything to it, okay, fine, 2576 02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:50,840 Speaker 3: and then the two minute report comes out, Oh yeah 2577 02:14:50,880 --> 02:14:53,000 Speaker 3: he should have been golfed. Well wait, wait a minute, 2578 02:14:53,080 --> 02:14:55,800 Speaker 3: what are we doing? But you've got that plus the 2579 02:14:55,920 --> 02:14:59,360 Speaker 3: Lebron and Ad side of things. I like all the 2580 02:14:59,400 --> 02:15:02,960 Speaker 3: secondary characters to this one, more so from the Lakers side. 2581 02:15:02,960 --> 02:15:05,520 Speaker 3: And I was on record six weeks ago saying I 2582 02:15:05,520 --> 02:15:08,800 Speaker 3: would have liked the iteration with Ad is out, Lebron 2583 02:15:08,920 --> 02:15:11,480 Speaker 3: is out. Let me, Let me watch D'Angelo Russell and 2584 02:15:11,560 --> 02:15:13,720 Speaker 3: Austin Reeves play like their hairs on fire. 2585 02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:17,800 Speaker 1: They'd love that. Yeah, I'm sure that would be a 2586 02:15:17,800 --> 02:15:20,440 Speaker 1: sight to see. I just remember when we talk about 2587 02:15:20,560 --> 02:15:23,120 Speaker 1: the play in tournament. A couple of years ago, we 2588 02:15:23,160 --> 02:15:25,640 Speaker 1: had Golden State in LA playing the playing Tournament, and 2589 02:15:25,640 --> 02:15:26,920 Speaker 1: there was a lot to that. I think it was 2590 02:15:26,920 --> 02:15:29,640 Speaker 1: probably the There were great finishes and other great games 2591 02:15:29,640 --> 02:15:31,320 Speaker 1: that we've had in playing tournaments, but I think that 2592 02:15:31,360 --> 02:15:32,520 Speaker 1: was the one that carried the most. 2593 02:15:32,360 --> 02:15:35,120 Speaker 3: Weight well and it helped keep that thing alive. 2594 02:15:35,280 --> 02:15:35,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2595 02:15:35,840 --> 02:15:38,600 Speaker 3: Right, they might have voted that out instead. Look at 2596 02:15:38,640 --> 02:15:39,440 Speaker 3: what we got. 2597 02:15:39,360 --> 02:15:41,440 Speaker 1: To have that series. And I'm saying this and not 2598 02:15:41,520 --> 02:15:44,080 Speaker 1: wanting the Warriors to win. I think that's that's the 2599 02:15:44,080 --> 02:15:49,120 Speaker 1: best series Warriors Lakers and I It's just it's it's unavoidable. 2600 02:15:49,560 --> 02:15:52,680 Speaker 1: It like truly it would be probably be one of 2601 02:15:52,720 --> 02:15:56,160 Speaker 1: the most meaningful series we'd have in the NBA playoffs. 2602 02:15:56,160 --> 02:16:01,240 Speaker 1: I'd say in the last fire. I've six seven years, 2603 02:16:01,320 --> 02:16:04,760 Speaker 1: maybe going back to the rubber match when Durant joined 2604 02:16:04,800 --> 02:16:07,440 Speaker 1: the Warriors and they played the Calves, because the next 2605 02:16:07,520 --> 02:16:09,080 Speaker 1: year when they played in the finals, we kind of 2606 02:16:09,160 --> 02:16:13,600 Speaker 1: knew what was going to happen, and it did, I think? 2607 02:16:13,880 --> 02:16:16,160 Speaker 1: And then you look at you know, Raptors, Warriors, Bubble, 2608 02:16:16,360 --> 02:16:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, Bucks Suns, and weren't I think that that 2609 02:16:18,640 --> 02:16:21,840 Speaker 1: would be the I think it'd probably be the best 2610 02:16:21,880 --> 02:16:23,880 Speaker 1: series since the twenty seventeen NBA Finals. 2611 02:16:23,920 --> 02:16:26,720 Speaker 3: Who's Lebron gonna attack on social media and fuel his fire? 2612 02:16:27,120 --> 02:16:29,600 Speaker 3: And see old Michael Jordan? I needed to create some hate? 2613 02:16:29,920 --> 02:16:30,360 Speaker 4: And is it? 2614 02:16:30,400 --> 02:16:30,960 Speaker 3: Who's it here? 2615 02:16:31,040 --> 02:16:33,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, I don't know.

The 2658 02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:53,320 Speaker 5: Knicks a short time ago officially ruling out All Star 2659 02:18:53,480 --> 02:18:56,160 Speaker 5: forward Julius Randall because of his sprained left ankle that 2660 02:18:56,200 --> 02:19:00,680 Speaker 5: he aggravated in this past Wednesday's first round clincher at Cleveland. 2661 02:19:00,760 --> 02:19:03,240 Speaker 5: After that, at three point thirty, Eastern Game seven from 2662 02:19:03,280 --> 02:19:07,160 Speaker 5: Sacramento between the Kings and the Golden State Warriors. Finally, 2663 02:19:07,200 --> 02:19:11,240 Speaker 5: in the NFL, ESPN reports that the NFL is targeting Thursday, 2664 02:19:11,520 --> 02:19:14,880 Speaker 5: May eleventh as the date to release it's twenty twenty 2665 02:19:14,959 --> 02:19:18,640 Speaker 5: three regular season schedules.

I 2672 02:19:42,160 --> 02:19:44,560 Speaker 5: would say Dylan Brooks is doubtful to speak to the media. 2673 02:19:44,600 --> 02:19:46,520 Speaker 3: But that's just me back to you. Well, since I 2674 02:19:46,560 --> 02:19:50,199 Speaker 3: can't trust social media, include jops, he got stuff wrong, 2675 02:19:50,800 --> 02:19:53,080 Speaker 3: he let us down, and then you're an NBA guy 2676 02:19:53,120 --> 02:19:55,240 Speaker 3: trying to tip pick.

The Leaves move on. It's been 2712 02:22:00,600 --> 02:22:04,480 Speaker 3: nearly two decades, so we've got all of that excitement 2713 02:22:04,600 --> 02:22:07,520 Speaker 3: between that, the Kings making the playoffs for the first 2714 02:22:07,560 --> 02:22:11,640 Speaker 3: time in seventeen years, and while the Jets are the Jets, 2715 02:22:11,959 --> 02:22:15,680 Speaker 3: so they have the longest drought going on in the NFL. Now, 2716 02:22:15,720 --> 02:22:19,440 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is at Madison Square Garden and everybody's happy, 2717 02:22:19,440 --> 02:22:21,760 Speaker 3: and he's hanging out with Neil Degrassi Tyson. 2718 02:22:22,920 --> 02:22:25,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think is bs Mike, is 2719 02:22:25,240 --> 02:22:29,280 Speaker 1: that the Maple Leafs title that I won on EA 2720 02:22:29,480 --> 02:22:33,080 Speaker 1: Sports a few years ago for NHL twenty two not 2721 02:22:33,280 --> 02:22:37,160 Speaker 1: included in their postseason success that we talked about. 2722 02:22:37,320 --> 02:22:40,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely criminal, that's the progressive play of the day. Progressive 2723 02:22:40,680 --> 02:22:43,160 Speaker 3: is making things even easier. They'll help you bundle your 2724 02:22:43,160 --> 02:22:45,440 Speaker 3: home and car insurance together so you can save on both. 2725 02:22:45,600 --> 02:22:48,840 Speaker 3: Learn more Progressive dot Com or dial up one eight 2726 02:22:48,959 --> 02:22:53,800 Speaker 3: hundred Progressive Now Dan the Philadelphia Eagles, Howie Roseman, I 2727 02:22:53,840 --> 02:22:56,200 Speaker 3: think they're probably gonna build a statue as quickly as 2728 02:22:56,240 --> 02:22:59,800 Speaker 3: they did for Carson Wentz, because at this point he's 2729 02:23:00,120 --> 02:23:04,720 Speaker 3: to be nominated for sainthood by the Eagles fans and 2730 02:23:05,560 --> 02:23:09,600 Speaker 3: the archbishops there here in short order, because seemingly everything 2731 02:23:09,680 --> 02:23:13,880 Speaker 3: he touches has to be a stroke of genius, including 2732 02:23:14,040 --> 02:23:15,879 Speaker 3: the acquisition of DeAndre Swift. 2733 02:23:16,240 --> 02:23:19,360 Speaker 1: I think that is a good pickup. I wondered what 2734 02:23:19,440 --> 02:23:23,000 Speaker 1: team DeAndre Swift was going to go to, and I 2735 02:23:23,680 --> 02:23:25,800 Speaker 1: was sad to see that it went to the Philadelphia Eagles, 2736 02:23:25,800 --> 02:23:28,760 Speaker 1: because I do think that he really helps them. I 2737 02:23:28,840 --> 02:23:33,959 Speaker 1: will say this, though, there is so much like goodwill 2738 02:23:34,040 --> 02:23:38,160 Speaker 1: and positivity around the Eagles draft and what they've done 2739 02:23:38,200 --> 02:23:41,320 Speaker 1: and Howie Roseman's done it again. Best roster in the 2740 02:23:41,400 --> 02:23:45,160 Speaker 1: National Football League. I get it, that's what it says 2741 02:23:45,240 --> 02:23:48,360 Speaker 1: on paper. But you know what, there is such a 2742 02:23:48,440 --> 02:23:51,680 Speaker 1: thing as a Super Bowl hangover. There is such a 2743 02:23:51,760 --> 02:23:56,520 Speaker 1: thing of adjusting after you lose your offensive and defensive coordinators. 2744 02:23:56,920 --> 02:23:59,760 Speaker 1: There is also something to and when you're playing in 2745 02:23:59,800 --> 02:24:02,640 Speaker 1: one of the biggest games to have your quarterback tell 2746 02:24:02,640 --> 02:24:05,400 Speaker 1: your head coach to shut up or to cool down 2747 02:24:05,879 --> 02:24:08,640 Speaker 1: because he's lipping off and mouthing off to someone. That 2748 02:24:08,800 --> 02:24:11,040 Speaker 1: to me is a red flag. You know what else 2749 02:24:11,160 --> 02:24:14,039 Speaker 1: is a red flag, Mike Harmon is Jalen Carter drops 2750 02:24:14,080 --> 02:24:16,200 Speaker 1: to nine and all. We've had our question marks about 2751 02:24:16,680 --> 02:24:22,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Carter the offseason, even there were talks of his motivation. 2752 02:24:22,800 --> 02:24:24,920 Speaker 1: Well look at his pro day, yes, all of that, 2753 02:24:25,240 --> 02:24:27,520 Speaker 1: but yet the Eagles gonna be at nine and were like, man, 2754 02:24:27,640 --> 02:24:30,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles do it again. Uh uh, this team is 2755 02:24:30,680 --> 02:24:33,320 Speaker 1: in for a root awakening. Do not believe all this 2756 02:24:33,440 --> 02:24:36,600 Speaker 1: Eagles hype that you are hearing this team coming off 2757 02:24:36,680 --> 02:24:39,480 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl loss. Mike, it's stings teams. They're not 2758 02:24:39,680 --> 02:24:42,400 Speaker 1: like the Cincinnati Bengals. They aren't built like the Cincinnati Bengals. 2759 02:24:42,959 --> 02:24:45,440 Speaker 1: They may have better players, but there is something that 2760 02:24:45,640 --> 02:24:49,760 Speaker 1: is missing with the Eagles. And I just I people 2761 02:24:49,920 --> 02:24:52,360 Speaker 1: love their draft and love everything about it. I think 2762 02:24:52,400 --> 02:24:54,480 Speaker 1: they're in for a root awakening in twenty twenty three. 2763 02:24:54,680 --> 02:24:56,440 Speaker 3: I think the biggest question that comes in is just 2764 02:24:56,520 --> 02:24:59,720 Speaker 3: looking at the division off the jump. You could like 2765 02:25:00,080 --> 02:25:03,240 Speaker 3: visual pieces what the Giants have done in terms of 2766 02:25:03,320 --> 02:25:06,280 Speaker 3: some of the additions, right trading, bringing in Waller, grabbing 2767 02:25:06,320 --> 02:25:09,560 Speaker 3: a wide receiver. There's some good. Dallas is always a 2768 02:25:09,640 --> 02:25:11,920 Speaker 3: team that all right, why an't you gonna show me something? 2769 02:25:11,959 --> 02:25:16,600 Speaker 3: In Washington may make strides, but I you think de 2770 02:25:16,720 --> 02:25:19,000 Speaker 3: facto you've got at least a walk into the playoffs. 2771 02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:21,680 Speaker 1: I didn't even mention aj Brown sulking after a win 2772 02:25:21,800 --> 02:25:24,039 Speaker 1: in the playoffs because he didn't have you know, enough 2773 02:25:24,120 --> 02:25:27,680 Speaker 1: catches or targets telling you those are red flags. People 2774 02:25:28,320 --> 02:25:30,680 Speaker 1: red flags, hashtag buyer scores. 2775 02:25:30,760 --> 02:25:33,640 Speaker 3: That's right, hashtag buyer scores. Dan's gonna go shoot over 2776 02:25:33,800 --> 02:25:37,439 Speaker 3: at the LA Country Club on the sixth and fifteenth 2777 02:25:37,520 --> 02:25:42,240 Speaker 3: holes tomorrow. Guess his total score, win some US Open suit. 2778 02:25:42,520 --> 02:25:45,039 Speaker 1: Don't know what the swag's gonna be at, but we'll 2779 02:25:45,080 --> 02:25:46,040 Speaker 1: put together something for you. 2780 02:25:46,160 --> 02:25:48,800 Speaker 3: It's a mystery package, and I've got mountains of cards 2781 02:25:48,800 --> 02:25:50,840 Speaker 3: I need to get rid of.
