1 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: What is up, Straight Fire Family, It's me Jason McIntyre. 3 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Wednesday, May the fifteenth. Pretty awesome night 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: in the sports world. And I'm even going to talk 5 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: some non sports. Well it's nonsports that's happening right now. 6 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 2: We'll start with the Atlanta Falcons and a Kirk Cousins comment. 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: But I thought last night's NBA action was kind of 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: me I will say I was more intrigued by the 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark debut, and we'll talk about that as well. 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: Middle of the week. Kind of excited. I can't believe 11 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,639 Speaker 2: how quick we're approaching Memorial the weekend, and I told 12 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: you guys, we got tickets for the Caitlin Clark La 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: Sparks game next week. Very excited. It should be should 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: be a good one. I do want to start with 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: this Kirk Cousins Atlanta Falcons comment. So he had some 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: media availability this week, and you know, the media's poking 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: prod and this is gonna be something the Falcons are 18 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: gonna have to overcome. They asked Kirk Cousins about his 19 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: plans to sign with the Falcons. Would he have done it? 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 2: If he knew what they were gonna do in the draft, 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: and Kirk Cousins very wisely said, I don't really deal 22 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 2: in hypotheticals. We could go down that path for a 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: long time in a lot of ways. It just doesn't 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: do us any good. You know what that's code for. Well, 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: of course I would not have signed here. I would 26 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: have probably gone back to Minnesota and got assurance. Says 27 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: that they weren't gonna draft a quarterback, but they were 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: definitely gonna draft a quarterback. Everybody knew that. Nobody knew 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 2: Falcons were going to I thought I was gonna be 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: I thought I was gonna have a four year runway 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: I thought, he said before the draft he was asking, 32 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: He's like, oh, yeah, retire a Falcon. He was expecting 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: this to be like his last big deal. And then 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: they come in and draft Michael Pennix and listen, I 35 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: get it. And I've gone multiple rounds with Cowherd over 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: this because he's all on board with the Penicks drafting. 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: It's about the process and whether or not you're allocating 38 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: resources correctly. Now, Preston Johnson last week he did disagree, 39 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: and ye, I agree with him to the point you 40 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: should draft a quarterback every year. But at eight. Wow, 41 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: there was a little steep, little rich But Kirk Cousins, listen, 42 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: I'm not like trying to assign blame here. I would agree, Yes, 43 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins has a right to be pissed off. At 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: the same time, yeah, sure, the Falcons have a right 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: to take a quarterback in the top ten who they 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: you as potentially a franchise guy. But there are so 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: many questions about the process and why commit one hundred 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: million guaranteed over two years to Cousins when you're drafting 49 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: a guy eighth and you're not just drafting a guy eighth. 50 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: Pennix is twenty four, Like, this isn't some young twenty 51 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: one year old like Jordan Love. This isn't some young 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: guy like Patrick Mahomes. This is a guy who's probably 53 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: expected to come out and compete for a starting job 54 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 2: most places if he were drafted, and let's be real, 55 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: he's gonna watch his compadres. Okay, we think Jada Daniels 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: is definitely gonna be the starter. We think Kidnap. We 57 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: don't think we know Kaileb Williams is gonna be the starter. 58 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 2: We're pretty sure it's gonna be Bo Nixon Denver. The 59 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: way Sean Payton's talking about them, We're pretty sure it's 60 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: gonna be jj McCarthy, although I will say the door 61 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: could be a jar for Sam Donald. Vikings have been 62 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: a little KOI with their game plan. But it's like 63 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: Drake may probably gonna be the guy. Maybe maybe it's 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: Jacobe Brissett. I don't know, But imagine being Penix and 65 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: being told, well, it's not like you're a maybe you're 66 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: not competing. You're definitely not starting for two years. Otherwise 67 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: you're wasting all this money with Kirk Cousins on the bench, 68 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: and it's a poor allocation of resources. So yes, I 69 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: understand drafting the quarterback. I don't understand giving Kirk Cousins 70 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: one hundred mil and then drafting one eighth, if that 71 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: makes any sense. And I know that's kind of a 72 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: little nuanced and people don't want to hear that. Jason, 73 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: you're sitting on the fence, you know, shit, or get 74 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: off the pot. I don't think that's the same thing. 75 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: I just over I like Pennix. I'll root for him. 76 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a good quarterback. I'm sure. 77 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: He hates the idea of sitting. And do you think 78 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: Michael Pennix is gonna go in with the attitude that 79 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 2: I'm gonna sit for two years? Of course, then he's like, 80 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: I see Bo Nicks, who I beat twice this past season. 81 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: They drafted me higher than bo Nicks, and I can't 82 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: start for two years. Well, this sucks. So he probably 83 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: not gonna be throwed, and Kirk Cousins is not gonna 84 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: be throwed. Nobody wins. So I don't know. I just 85 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: I'm fascinated to watch this Falcon situation throughout the season. Yeah, 86 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 2: some people will say, oh yeah, they've got the best 87 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: backup quarterback situation in the league. I don't know that 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: I envy Rahie Morris because I'm just telling you guys 89 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: right now, Once that Falcon schedule comes out later today, 90 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: and you see, I don't know. Let's say Week three 91 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: is a Monday night football game against a team with 92 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: a good defense, and Kirk Cousins vomits all over himself 93 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: like he normally does in prime time, Okay, and he 94 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: throws three picks and the Falcons are one and two. 95 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: Are we gonna hear? Is it? Michael Pennock's time, you're 96 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: gonna hear You're gonna you're definitely you're not gonna hear it. No, 97 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: Michael Pennock is definitely shitting all season. No, if Kirt's 98 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 2: cousin struggles and the Falcons aren't delivering, then yeah, you're 99 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: gonna look at Penix and you know it's and I 100 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: ultimately you'll say, well that's a good thing. Well is 101 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: it really you? Then you wasted one hundred million dollars 102 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: on Kirk Cousins. He's shot, he's mentally a mess. He's 103 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: probably not gonna want to be there. It's just an 104 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: all or. I'm sorry. I just don't see this working 105 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 2: out now. It might, and I could certainly be wrong. 106 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 2: I've been wrong before, shockingly, But yeah, I think all 107 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: these Kirk Cousin comments, Michael Pennix, it's all gonna be 108 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: aner microscope. All right, Let's go to the next topic 109 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: before we get to NBA, because again I didn't think 110 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: that PACER's game was amazing. We will get to Timberwolves 111 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: Nuggets for sure shortly, but I just want to start 112 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: with the Caitlin Clark game. And you know, she had 113 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: twenty points somehow, Vegas does it again. Vegas lined her 114 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: over under at twenty and a half. Amazingly, she was 115 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 2: looking for no offense in like the whole first quarter, 116 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: and I think she had like seven at halftime and 117 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: ends up with or maybe she had like five and 118 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: seven and a half time yea, and then she adds 119 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: up with twenty and she did have ten turnovers. Oh no, 120 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: kitlnd Clark ten turnovers, fever lost. They're not good. They 121 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: just drafted first for a reason. This isn't quite the 122 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: Wemben Yama Spurs, because you know, I don't know anything 123 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: about the fever. I'm imagining they're not the women Yama Spurs, 124 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: so I probably shouldn't have said that. But whatever. They're 125 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: never really in this game. They're always down like five, seven, nine, 126 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 2: eleven points. And it looked to me like Caitlin Clark 127 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 2: was being doing what a rookie should do. I'm gonna 128 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: defer to the Vets. This is not my team yet. 129 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 2: I'm a rookie, I've never played professional basketball, and I'm 130 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: gonna do the right thing and try to make the 131 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 2: right play. And it looked like she was probably overpassing 132 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: a little bit. It looked like there was some uncertain 133 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: when there's sort of been like Iowa Caitlind Clark like, 134 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna be selfish, I'm sorry, I'm 135 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 2: gonna do it, and it just kind of felt like, listen, 136 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: this is what it's gonna be early on, Listen, going 137 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: from Iowa to professional basketball ain't gonna be easy. She's 138 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: gonna be fine. I mean, she scored twenty points. Okay, 139 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 2: I know she had ten turnovers. There'll be some bumps. 140 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: But I think by mid season, my guess is the 141 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: coach will probably say, Okay, we know what we are, 142 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: we know we're not Let's make this the Caitlin Clark Show. 143 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: And I think he's gonna kind of pivot. And at 144 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: that point, you know, when this team's not winning a 145 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: lot of games, I think the Vets will understand, hey, coach, 146 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: you know I want to get mine I gotta get paid. 147 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: I got a contract coming up. But we need to 148 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: be the Caitlin Clark show and she needs to be 149 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: the one everyone revolves around. And it didn't totally feel 150 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: like that they were trying to play her off the 151 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: ball a little bit. The screens weren't great, the defense 152 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: was solid, there was a girl who played good defense 153 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: against her, But ultimately I think Caitlin Clark's gonna be 154 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: just fine. I was interested in her debut. The Knicks 155 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: were running away with the with the game against the Pacer, 156 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: so I didn't totally lock in on that, and I 157 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: watched Caitlin Clark a little more. She was wearing like 158 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: the Kobe Grinches and all these people. Listen, man, it's 159 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: it's really fascinating what she's doing to the WNBA. And 160 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: you guys can push back and say, who cares. That's 161 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: fine for me. I'm fascinated by it. I really do 162 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: believe she is going to have an impact that's essentially 163 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 2: combined what Larry Bird and Magic did for the NBA 164 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: in the eighties combined. Now, this is in a different 165 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 2: era with social media. Obviously, not as many people watch 166 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: linear or cable TV. That's just that's the state of today. 167 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: But there's something going on in this country with women, 168 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: and you know the whole abortion situation, and you had 169 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: that kicker from the Chiefs making a graduation speech about 170 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 2: how women should stop striving for jobs and promotions and 171 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 2: like want to be in the home. And I'm like, 172 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, and it just feels like women are 173 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: having a moment, whether it's the US women's soccer team, 174 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: and you gotta love this. I mean, I know my 175 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: daughter's super into it. I know a bunch of other 176 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: her friends are super into it. I know parents that 177 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 2: are into it. Like this is just a real cool 178 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: thing to watch, And I mean, I'm really interested to 179 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: see how far she could take the fever. Obviously there's 180 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: going to be a learning curve, but I will be 181 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 2: checking out as many of her games as I can. 182 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 2: And I don't know, she put up a better fight 183 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: than the Pacers, didn't she. I mean, did you guys 184 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: watch that? Indiana looked solid in the first quarter and 185 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 2: they it seemed like they were the box are coming 186 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 2: looking for the knockout punch, and they went steadily downhill. 187 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: They opened thirty two points in the first quarter. They 188 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: led for most of it. My buddy Nico I said, 189 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: I'm lost. I know you heard the pod. I don't 190 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: really have any bets tonight. I am struggling, you know, 191 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: maybe I think the only thing I had was Pacers, Nuggets, 192 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 2: money line parlay, and Parlay's a dumb. 193 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: As you know. 194 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: But he was like just go back to your first 195 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: quarter first half thing. So I took Knicks first half, 196 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: Knicks first quarter, and Kicks first quarter almost didn't hit. 197 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: They had a flurry, and then it was basically the 198 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: floodgates were open. And we saw the Pacers defense from 199 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: early in the series and Knicks first half, Knicks first 200 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 2: quarter both hit and they score sixty nine in the 201 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 2: first half. Pacers are down bad. I think they maybe 202 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: cut it to seven early third. But here's the Pacer 203 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 2: scoring back quarters thirty two. When they came out hot 204 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 2: and ready for action, twenty two, twenty one, sixteen, you 205 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: could just see them gradually losing interest. And Jalen Brunson 206 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: had a lot to do with that. Forty four points 207 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: on thirty five shots. He was magnificent plus thirty one. 208 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 2: I'm sure he read all the well. Aaron Neith Smith 209 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: Aaron Neith Smith's defense on Jalen Brunson, and you know 210 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: these guys are pro They're gonna take that to heart. 211 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: Uf in kidding me. Aaron nee Smith is gonna stop me. 212 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: And Brunson just went, hey him, he was excellent. This 213 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 2: is the O by the way. They started. Miles McBride, 214 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: he had seventeen points because we know that, we know 215 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: the Knicks are hurting badly. And here's where I think 216 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: it gets super interesting. So Alec Burks, I only diehard 217 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: will remember him. He was a Colorado Buffalo back in 218 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: the day. He was overdrafted in twenty eleven. He was 219 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: a lottery pick and you know, bounce around the league guy. 220 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: Solid career. Yeah, he's never made like an All Star game. 221 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 2: He's been a good role player at various spots. Spent 222 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: a long time in Houston, and was Cleveland, Sacramento, Golden State, Philadelphia, 223 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: New York, Detroit, and now he's back with New York. 224 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: And this is what's interesting about Alec Burks. This is 225 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: a guy who didn't play one minute, not one minute 226 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: in the series against the Sixers. Okay, in the month 227 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 2: of April before the playoffs started, he made one basket 228 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: in four appearances. So again we're talking guy one basket 229 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: since April first, before Game three, did not play in 230 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: Game one, played one minute in Game two, and it's 231 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: like due to the injuries, he's thrust into the lineup. 232 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: In Game five, he was huge. He had five threes, 233 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 2: he had eighteen points, eighteen points of five boards. In 234 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 2: Game four, some of it garbage time. He had twenty 235 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: points hit two threes in Game three fourteen points hit 236 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 2: two threes. Folks, are you ready for this, Alec Burks? 237 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: I've done the math. Here a guy remind you who 238 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: could not get off the bench against the seventy six ers, 239 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: not even to log a minute. There was no garbage 240 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: time in the series. Everything was super close, all of 241 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: a sudden thrust into action. Okay, Alec Burks is delivering 242 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: in the last three games. He should fifteen of twenty 243 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 2: eight from the field, nine of eighteen from three, and 244 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: he's scoring seventeen points a game. My question to Thibodeau, 245 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: who everybody loves and Stavan Gunny's caping up for him, 246 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: and I get it, I get it. I like tips, 247 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: why wasn't this guy playing at all? To so Jason 248 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 2: is not Jason Hart, so Josh Hart and Devincenzo and 249 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 2: Bruns and the Villanova nixt so they couldn't get a 250 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: breather for Alex Brooks. Like fi, I'm talking like a 251 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: maybe ten minutes a game. So you're giving Hey, Dante, 252 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: here's three minutes. Give me a blow. Jalen Brunts in 253 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: two minutes, Josh Hart, give me five minutes, Like, just 254 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 2: get a little bit of rest. Burke's get in the rotation, 255 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: and you're saving the guy's legs cause it's clear he 256 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: can deliver, right. I mean, look what he's done in 257 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: the last three games. Now, you could argue, Jason two 258 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: of the games were blowouts, okay, and he's playing garbage time, 259 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: although he was playing non garbage time and doing what 260 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: I thought was pretty well. And you know, I get 261 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 2: I totally get that argument. But I don't know. I 262 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 2: just wonder. I don't think the series is over just 263 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: because the next roll this is one of those Okay, 264 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: the Pacers knew they were getting blown out. They didn't 265 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 2: really try in the fourth. Hopefully Haliburton will wake up 266 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: and get healthy. There is an extra day and I'm 267 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: sure you guys read about it because of the Caitlin 268 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: Clark home opener on Thursday for the fever Pacers got 269 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: bumped to Friday. Who does the extra day help more? 270 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: Tyrese Haliburton and his ankle back whatever he played like 271 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: garbage or og and Ernobi, Doctor DiVincenzo heart Brunson. I 272 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: don't know. I'm a little worried about the Pacers, but 273 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: I think the Knicks will pull it off. My guess 274 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: is My guess is it's super close, and I think 275 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: the Pacers force Game seven. And then, of course the 276 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: Knicks are not losing Game seven in the garden. I 277 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: don't see that now with Brunson, So I kind of 278 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 2: hoe I'm rooting for seven because who does love a 279 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: seven game series. 280 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 281 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: the nation.

Denver takes 285 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: down Minnesota one twelve ninety seven in a game where 286 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: it felt like it was never a doubt. Mike Conley 287 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: ruled out instantly, it was like, all right, Nuggets got this. 288 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: And I know Mike Conley's like a veteran point guard 289 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: and not one of their two or three best players, 290 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: but he's a steadying presence at the well, excuse me, 291 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: offensive end, and it's not like Minnesota had an awful 292 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: game without him. Alexander Walker was fine fourteen points, but 293 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: he was a minus thirteen and thirty nine minutes. As 294 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: a matter of fact, the entire Wolves starting lineup was 295 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: a bit of a Debbie downer. But I'm not going 296 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: to make this about the Wolves, who basically started feeling 297 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: themselves up two to ZHO with two wins in Denver, 298 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: were reading their clippings for three days and have not 299 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: been able to stop Denver since. Remember Game two was 300 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: the defensive performants of the playoffs. The Nuggets had the 301 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: worst offensive performance in six years with Jokic, and since 302 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: then the Nuggets have shot over fifty percent in every game. 303 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: What does that say? Is Malone that great of a coach? 304 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: They got fifty five percent on Tuesday Night. And it's 305 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: not like Murray was great. Murray had sixteen points. It's 306 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: not like Eric Gordon was amazing, although he was good 307 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: eighteen and ten KCP solid was sixteen. The bench, Christian 308 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: Brown gave you ten. Okay great? You know the Justin 309 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: Holiday experiment fifteen minutes, zero points. It was about Jokic 310 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: and folks. This is when I said Wemby should have 311 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: been the defensive player of the year, and it was like, 312 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: oh no, it's Gobert. He's on the bit the best 313 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: defensive player on the best defense. Okay, well, if you 314 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: watch the game Tuesday night, you watch Jokich eat his 315 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: friggin lunch. Jokic went for forty and thirteen assists. Here's 316 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: the more interesting thing. He was fifteen of twenty two 317 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: from the field. The defensive player of the year was 318 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: powerless to stop Jokich. You know, by the way that 319 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 2: Game two defensive performance, which was so amazing, Rudy Gobert 320 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: did not play. So Rudy Gobert has got one job 321 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: at this At this point, I know it was a 322 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 2: lot of towns on Jokic. I get that have Gobert 323 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: playing the roamer off Aaron Gordon, while Aaron Gordon's made 324 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 2: that kind of null and void because he's making shots. 325 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 2: But at some point, why wouldn't you just put the 326 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: defensive player of the year on the best offensive center 327 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 2: that we've seen since Akim Olajuwan. No disrespect to Shack, 328 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: but Jokic's bag is way bigger than Shack's. Shaq was 329 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 2: just sheer power, raw power. Dwight Howard did not have 330 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 2: an offensive repertoire. He was an awesome force at both ends. 331 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: Jokic is a total package. With about three minutes left, 332 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: the Minnesota. I think had it like seven to eight 333 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 2: and shot clock winding down, Joki is a three point 334 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: line and Gobert just hand up. But let's Jokich walk 335 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: into a three and it's bang in its game over. 336 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 2: It's like, all right, is he really the defensive player 337 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 2: of the year. If jokicic goes for forty and thirteen, 338 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: it was almost as if Yokic said, enough of this crap. 339 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: I know Minnesota's plucky, they're a great story. Let me 340 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: just put them away. Let me I got this, guys, 341 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: this guy's defensive player of the year, and I'm not 342 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: being disrespectful to go go Beart. He's a great defensive player. 343 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: I would have had him runner up. I guess I 344 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: would have had to look closer. Go Beart versus Anthony 345 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. I would have gone Wemby. And I'll tell 346 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 2: you right now, you could take this to the bank. 347 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: Jokic ain't going for forty and thirteen assists if Wemby's 348 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 2: on him in game five. And we know historically game 349 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 2: five swings the series, that two to two winner of 350 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 2: Game five wins the series like eighty two percent of 351 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: the time, So nixt win we feel they've got it. 352 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 2: Nuggets win barring injury, we feel they've got it. They've 353 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: got now three wins in a row over the Timberwolves, 354 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: wins by twenty seven, eight, and fifteen. None of them 355 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 2: were remotely close games. This series has been wacky. There 356 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: hasn't been I don't know if there's been any crunch 357 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: time moments in this series. Crunch time is five minutes 358 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 2: or less in the games. Just the margin is five 359 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: or less. I mean, what has there been like one 360 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: crunch time minute in the entire series? Maybe two through 361 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: five games. But that stinks and I think, you know, listen, 362 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: I got to give it up to Karl Anthone Towns. 363 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: He played well after getting just blasted everywhere. I mean 364 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 2: I shredded him, but I'm sure other people went at him. 365 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 2: I saw a lot of people on the line taking jabs. 366 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 2: He did have twenty three points, only got to the 367 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: foul line twice, which you don't like. And listen, and 368 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 2: Edwards missed his running mate in the back court. He 369 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: was only five or fifteen for eighteen points. If that 370 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: were a Jason Tatum performance in a loss of Game five, 371 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 2: Tatum will be getting savage. But it's at everybody loves him. 372 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 2: We'll give a pass. I get it. Bottom line, this 373 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: is gonna be Denver in the Conference finals. And if 374 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 2: it's against Okay, see, I think they're gonna annihilate them. 375 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: And if it's against Dallas, yeah, I like to think 376 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 2: the MAVs have a chance. I like to think that, 377 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 2: but the reality is it's going to be a tall order. Now. 378 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: The maps are clearly going to be pushed to six 379 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 2: or seven, and we might as well dovetail now into 380 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 2: the best bet. 381 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: The only thing better than sitting on your couch watching 382 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: the games is making money while you do it. Here's 383 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: your best bet. 384 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 2: Celtics looks to close out at home. We know Boston 385 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 2: historically has not played great at home in the playoffs. 386 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: They are colossal fourteen and a half point favorites as 387 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: of right now as we record this six am on Wednesday, 388 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: we don't know if Donvd Mitchell's playing or not, so 389 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: it's tough for me to like make a wager on 390 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 2: the game. I would probably look Celtics first half. Boston 391 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: could be frisky for a quarter, could come out. Hey, 392 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 2: we got to put along the series. We know the 393 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: Celtics up three to one. It feels like a rap. 394 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 2: Maybe Boston comes out sluggish, they'll eventually pull away and win. 395 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 2: Will they cover, I don't know. And then the real game. Okay, 396 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: see minus four and a half against Dallas, and I 397 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: want to take the MAVs with every fiber in my being, 398 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 2: but I'm afraid, which means I've got to pull the trigger. 399 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: So it's MAVs four and a half, you know what? 400 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: You know what I've said all the time. Usually during NFL, 401 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: when you're afraid to make a bet, that's when you 402 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: want it. That's when you need to make the bet. 403 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 2: And I am afraid to bet on the MAVs because 404 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 2: I'm worried that they lose. Then they got to win 405 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 2: two in a row, which can be done. I'm sure 406 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 2: they've done it before. This is a team with Luca 407 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 2: that's pulled off some really really impressive postseason run so far, 408 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 2: whether it was the Clippers, whether it was the Suns. 409 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: I like this team. I have faith in them. I'm 410 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: probably betting heart overhead here taking the MAVs. If I 411 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 2: see shake gilg just Alexander get in the lane and 412 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 2: kick out to open three point shooters, I'm going to 413 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: be throwing stuff around my office and mentally I'm ready 414 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 2: for Dallas to lose and be down three two because 415 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 2: they deserve it. You blow game four that way in 416 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: the fashion they did with it, lead from most of 417 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 2: the game and they blew it. You know, I'm gonna 418 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: get pissed off. But then again, we blew our Men's 419 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: League game last Thursday, led for ninety five percent of 420 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: the game. And now this week we faced the undefeated 421 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: team which we beat in the title two years ago. 422 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: They lost in the semifinals last year, but they did 423 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 2: knock us out of the playoffs. We were missing some guys, 424 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: so whatever, and they added a guy who played at Duke, 425 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 2: and I'm talking recently, like two years ago. He was 426 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 2: on the bench at Duke. Now he started at like 427 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 2: Yale or Harvard, and then he transferred to Duke. And 428 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: still you're playing at Duke. One of four four and 429 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: a half points a game or whatever. We haven't actually 430 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 2: faced him, but the numbers he's put up are ridiculous 431 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: in this league. He had a forty point game last 432 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 2: season and he went to this team of guys who 433 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 2: were listening. They're all guys like under thirty years old. Well, 434 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: I think maybe a couple of them are older thirty, 435 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 2: but they like to talk smack. I know some of them, well, 436 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: I'm friendly with them. I like them, good guys, most 437 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 2: of them. And it's gonna be heated game Thursday night 438 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: and one of our guys is out. I'm not gonna 439 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: say who, just in case the enemy is listening. Now 440 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 2: I sound like a conspiracy theorist loser. I sound worse 441 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: than Aaron friggin Rodgers talking about Vladimir Putin. I'm not 442 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 2: doing that. I'm not doing the Rogers stuff, guys, I'm 443 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: not I'm not talking about it. It's just annoying. Can 444 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 2: we just get the friggin schedule out already? Can we 445 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: just move on? I don't the Jets should put a 446 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: muzzle on Aaron Rodgers. Hey man, you want to talk 447 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: about vaccines, can you wait till after we win the 448 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: super Bowl? Then do whatever the hell you want. Just 449 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: get us the super Bowl. Don't put this garbage attention 450 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 2: on us by talking about Vladimir Putin and going on 451 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson's Twitter show or whatever the hell it is. 452 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: Just come on, man, do we need this. It's already 453 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: a year with an election and we know it's gonna 454 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: be ugly and annoying and lame and just stupid. I'm sorry, guys, 455 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: I don't like politics at all. I don't. It's now. 456 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: Maybe when these two old and eighty year old guys 457 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: get out and they're done after this election, and we 458 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 2: get like hopefully sensible, normal people like maybe then politics 459 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 2: will be interesting. But it's just been awful for the 460 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 2: last eight years. I would say social media basically through 461 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: kerosene on a grease fire, and that's where we are. 462 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 2: It's just a total disaster right now. I'm just rambling, 463 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 2: so we'll be back tomorrow. Poy, the MAVs take better 464 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: come through for me. That's out. I'll say I'm out.
