25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 3: Did they push him back into action so he can

26
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: get to sixty five games played?

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: Can he He can still get there?

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? He can? Yeah?

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: Please please, we don't need the bad headline of all

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 3: our stars falling off.

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Both he and Jokic can get there, but I don't

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: think they will, right. They need to be able to

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: play in almost every game the rest of the way,

34
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: and or playing like like like eighteen out of twenty left,

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: and it's just forget it, right, Like it's not going

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: to happen, right, Like, they're not going to play in

37
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: all those games. So the thing is is that what

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: people aren't are going to start to understand as we

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: are close to the end of the season, is players

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: are going to start to eliminate themselves from MVP consideration. Right,

41
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. And when players like ga and Jokic,

42
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: when you know just the fact they have to fight

43
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: to get to sixty five games is going to be

44
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: a mark against them, Right, it's gonna be hard for

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: voters to say, well, as long as he plays in

46
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: enough games, I'll vote him for MVP.

47
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: Right.

48
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: It's because now they're in it just to try to

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: get there, and are their teams going to play them

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: on nights of back to back, so they gonna sit

51
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be really difficult, if not impossible, for

52
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: Yo Kichen SGA to sit out because their teams are

53
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: gonna say, we're worried more about what we're seeing in

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the in the postseason than we are about you guys

55
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: winning MVP, right, So that's so that's what we're gonna see.

56
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: So now the thing is is that as we get on,

57
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna get down to a situation where wait till

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: I tell you who the three finalists for MVP are

59
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: going to wind up being, because they're gonna be players

60
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: that will play have to play in the sixty five games.

61
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: And it's not gonna be SGA, it's not gonna be

62
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: Nicola Jokich, it's not gonna be honest, right, there's a

63
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: lot of players it's just not going to be. Well,

64
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you when we get down to the

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: three finalists, it's gonna shock a lot of people.

66
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: And because of.

67
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: The who we're gonna get down to, there's gonna be

68
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: a change for next year in the number of games

69
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: you have to play. Maybe it's the NBA saying okay, okay, hey, hey,

70
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: Adam silver Cow telling to the players again because again

71
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to do anything. Hey, I'll make it

72
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: sixty games. I'll make it fifty five games. They're playing

73
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: more than half the games, just more than half the games.

74
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: That's fine, forty forty one games. Oh, you need forty

75
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: one games. So he's gonna wind up cutting it because

76
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: there's no way the players are going to start playing

77
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: in more games. That that's one thing that the NBA

78
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: opened the door to that they can never go back.

79
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Once you make it okay enough, or the teams make

80
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: it okay enough for players to play in less games,

81
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: they're never going to play in more games. You're only

82
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: hoping that, well, maybe they'll play in the number of

83
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: games we want them to play in. Now they'll they won't,

84
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: they won't come in less. But to try to say, hey,

85
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: guess what, guys, you know the sixty five game things

86
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: not working. Man, you're not made. We're gonna make it

87
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: seventy seventy five games. It's not happening. Players aren't going

88
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: to suddenly say well, okay, I got to start playing

89
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: those games.

90
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: So that's the that's.

91
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: The one thing that the NBA did that really didn't

92
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: work out is that you're never going to go back

93
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: to that.

94
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: So while barring a change, barring a change to inform

95
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: a little of the because you know, fun with math

96
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: and as you like to say, all I do is

97
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: go to the betting odds. No, it helps inform our conversation.

98
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: Sga on a run here as we get into the

99
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: second half of the Nuggets Thunder game, he's this is

100
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: his fiftieth game played. He'll need to play in fifteen

101
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: of their final twenty one after that.

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough.

103
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: And it's tough because hey, here they are without him,

104
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: and it's just is he the MVP or is he

105
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: now just playing enough games?

106
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: Well, he's seventy three percent implied odds right now based

107
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: on where we're at in the betting market.

108
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's still alive. He's still alive.

109
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: He's still alive in the game own he's alive or

110
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: he's dead, look at what about Blue? But he's just

111
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: coming back now, and to play in that number of

112
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: games when he's missed some it's gonna be really hard, right,

113
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really really hard.

114
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: To get there.

115
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: And so when it comes down to it, right, when

116
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 1: you're thinking of now, the combination for MVP is going

117
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: to be who has had the best season and played

118
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: in the number of games where we don't have to

119
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: worry about them getting there?

120
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: Right, Like, who's going to get there?

121
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: For certain that when we get down to the finalists, right,

122
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: and I'll give you these three guys, you're going to go, oh,

123
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: my goodness, these are going to be your three finalists

124
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it, your three finalists because

125
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: they will have played sixty five games and they will

126
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: have played the best as far as raising their team

127
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: up to play at a high level. Your three finalists

128
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: will be Kid Cunningham. He's on the SGA path from

129
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 1: last year. He's the best player on a top three team.

130
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: Detroit's made a big leap in the standings. He's the

131
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: guy again, just like SGA year ago. Boy Oklahoma City's

132
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: turned in the best team in the NBA. How did

133
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: that happen? Doesn't matter. SGA is the best player, he's

134
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: their leader, He's the MVP.

135
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: So Kid Cunningham on that path.

136
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown on that his odd fluctuate every he goes

137
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: from eight to one, to forty to one to fifteen

138
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: to one, like he is every day. It's something different.

139
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: But the Celtics you see it in the standings, second

140
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 1: team in the Eastern Conference. Know Jason Tatum, he's getting

141
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: a lot of love, and he should because he is

142
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: showing that, Hey, guess what, it's my team. It's not

143
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: anybody else's team. It's my team. And I can do

144
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: it without who everybody thinks is the best player on

145
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: our roster, Jalen Brown and Jalen Brunson. You know Rick

146
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: Buker talks about does not even me telling you. This

147
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: is Rick Buker the night saying, Hey, all these other guys,

148
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how they are if they don't play.

149
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: But I know what the Knicks are like without Jalen Brunson,

150
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: and they are one in five this year when he

151
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: doesn't play. When he plays and he plays at that

152
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: high level, Yeah, I see this team that's a top

153
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: six team overall in the NBA, and I know where

154
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: they are when he plays and when he doesn't play,

155
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: And so when they're gonna play, he's gonna play in

156
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: the sixty five games, and again, this is about sixty

157
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: five games and helping you team finish at the top

158
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: of the conference because there's other guys having big years.

159
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: But really, Luca at this point, are Luca gonna be

160
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: the MVP? I mean, the Lakers may be in the

161
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: playing round, okay, so it's hard to give Luca the MVP,

162
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: and he might not make it to the number of

163
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: games played, right, He's not the healthiest of guys.

164
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: Right, So there's a couple of the players. But are

165
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: they gonna play in the games? Are they not? You

166
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: don't know.

167
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be able to lead their teams up

168
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: higher in the standings. It's it's pretty hard to tell,

169
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: right because I look at a guy like like maybe

170
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell could make a run, but Cleveland's got to,

171
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, finish higher than fourth or fifth, you know,

172
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: if they got to get up to like second or

173
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: have a big run here. And he's got to make

174
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: some big plays down the stretch. But if you're looking

175
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: at where teams sit right now, your three MVP finalists,

176
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: because you're going from guys that are on top the

177
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: top six teams all along there's you're gonna be a finalists.

178
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: It's all Eastern Conference top three teams in the East.

179
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Kate Cunningham, Jalen Brown, and Jalen Brunson.

180
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: There's your finalists.

181
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: I like the cut of your jib. Kate Cunningham.

182
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: They get the big win tonight over the depleted Valier's squad,

183
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: No Spider, no James Harden with the broken thumb, a

184
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: couple other guys Sad as well Cunningham. As we say

185
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: here tonight is third back up to plus eight fifty.

186
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: So that's you got some value compared to where you

187
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: were a week ago. Part of that on the return

188
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: of Sga Yoki just sandwiched in there. Still at plus

189
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: four thirty. Your guy Victor Webbin Yamo, one of your

190
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: early season off season heroes, still at twenty five to one.

191
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: Then we get to Jalen Brown, who was at sixty

192
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: to one about two weeks ago and then got a

193
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 3: little bit of a surge. Now it's settled in at

194
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: forty to one alongside him as we get into that

195
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: next age of guys. But your guy Brunson right now

196
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: is five.

197
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: Hundred to one.

198
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: That's okay, And so I'm just saying again, if you

199
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: want to go into the futures as people Wind. I mean, hey,

200
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: I get the odds now and then maybe you'll get

201
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: paid if it gets out of.

202
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: The he gets it final three.

203
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what if you can if you can

204
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: get a win place and show the I don't know

205
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: that they do that like you're betting a horse race

206
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: as you go through. But Spider Mitchell is at one

207
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: fifty to one, Luca at seventy five to one, and

208
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: those odds growing longer by the day, as did that

209
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: for Tyrese Maxi Kawhi Leonard had a little bit of

210
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: a surge for about a week that failed, as did

211
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: Kevin Durance. They're very long shots. You're talking thousand to

212
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: one plus for them.

213
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's sad that a lot of

214
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: it is not predicated in the discussion, right, and it's

215
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: not based on how well anybody necessarily is playing, only

216
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: that they are and that stuff.

217
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 4: By the way, Rick Buker.

218
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: Leaning into Jalen Brunson might have been one of the

219
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: greatest heel turns in the history of the show.

220
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: Because you know, we certainly look, we go.

221
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: Back and forth with Cole with regularity, and he gets snarky,

222
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: Mark Steinle gets snarky.

223
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 4: I mean, go on down the line, we we are.

224
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Todd Furman comes out like we've got a

225
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: very good, curated list of folks who understand the well

226
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: where we're at in our sporting life cycle and where

227
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: we can throw jabs and occasionally the haymaker at each other.

228
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: But Rick Buker immediately turning into a discussion of how

229
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: good Jalen Brunton it is, how important he is really,

230
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean that I needed smelling salts coming back from

231
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: that one.

232
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: What do you mean we're not going to talk about

233
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: the Knicks.

234
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: He's the greatest analyst ever. I mean, I think he's

235
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: proven that. I think he's proved he's the greatest adels.

236
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: I think you now have a cardboard cutout of him

237
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: into your office as we say here tonight. But but

238
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: it is funny we're talking about the Eastern Conference a lot,

239
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: and and again for those that haven't heard the the

240
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: prior discussions when it comes to MVP talking, and there's

241
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: gonna be tons of it, so you know, get used

242
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: to it. It's it's fascinating because look, these are parts

243
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: of what defined players and their histories and legacies. It's

244
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: not all about titles because those as we as we know,

245
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: are rarefied air. But it's why Nikola jokicch at plus

246
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: four point thirty. You look at him and go, eh,

247
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: it's the same guy I watched last year. He's great,

248
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 3: but right, It's why Michael Jordan didn't win every year.

249
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 3: It's why Kobe Bryant didn't win for a long stretch.

250
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: It's why Shack only has a couple of them. I mean,

251
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: you go through the annals of history, it becomes the

252
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 3: next next up mentality, who's got a breakthrough story and

253
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: an opportunity, And if your team's running back to where

254
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: they were, it's kind of like, all right, you're great,

255
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: we get it. It's unfortunate, but it's the human condition

256
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: of what's next. We get bored fast and think about it. Now,

257
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: when you're on your cell phone, how many people actually

258
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: sit and watch a TV show all the way through

259
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 3: without flipping to something else. And I don't mean just

260
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: when the commercial pops up, I mean just in general.

261
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: All right, I got.

262
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: Twelve minutes in, they've set up act one?

263
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: All right, what am I gonna go watch for ten

264
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: minutes before I circle back to see how they handle

265
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: this patient on the pit or Gray's anatomy.

266
00:11:59,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: What do we got?

267
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: You know?

268
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: And the thing is is that the guy the guy

269
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: feel the worst for is Wemby because because he's got

270
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: to play in like, I think twenty of the last

271
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: twenty two games or something like that to get to

272
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: sixty five and and and because he clearly would be

273
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: right there. Look, look guys like Sga and Wemby and

274
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: jokicch of course, but I mean you gotta get to

275
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: sixty five games and are team's really going to go

276
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: to the wall making sure these guys play in six

277
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: out of every seven games the rest of the way,

278
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: or are they gonna sit or are you gonna wind

279
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: up going through a little bit of hey we're gonna rest,

280
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna rest in this game, you're gonna miss this

281
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: game with general soreness, Like is it really that important

282
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: because we're because that's what That's what I don't think

283
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: people understand is oh, yeah, if they could still mathematically

284
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: play in these games, and like, yeah they could. That's

285
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: why these odds are still where they are for some

286
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: of these players. But as time goes on to well,

287
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: this guy's out, oop, this guy's out, this guy's out

288
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get down to the nitty gritty of

289
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: the end of March, beginning of April, and yeah, you know,

290
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: Wemby needs to play in each of the last six games,

291
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: and guess what he's not because they're playing back to

292
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: back or they're gonna sit him. They don't need to

293
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: worry about it knocking one MVP, and that's gonna be

294
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: a big storyline getting to.

295
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: The end of the season.

296
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to really wait until the dust

297
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: settles to say, Okay, here's my MVP. Right, So I

298
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: almost feel like MVP discussion, not like it gets irrelevant,

299
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: but we don't need to have MVP discussion in beginning

300
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: of November, like like like we like to do now.

301
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: It's like, ah, first week of the MV and Jesus

302
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: looking with the MVP is No, it's really let's just

303
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: wait until the season's over look at the best players

304
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: that have played sixty five games, and I go, okay,

305
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: who's your MVP, Like that's really where you're kind of

306
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: at with the situation. All as time goes on, I mean,

307
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna see these guys dropping like it's a horror movie. Man,

308
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: All this guy's gonna make it to the end. No, no,

309
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: they got him. No, he's gone. Oh he's a Oh

Speaker 2: Two three two zero aware of yeah, oh okay.

401
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,040

403
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: to being in Florida in those number of times.

404
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 2: Under cover of I'm going to see relatives. So this mom, hi, dad,

405
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: anybody calls the police, I was there.

406
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: Let me tell you my dad turns eighty on the

407
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 3: fifth of June. I will probably be in Florida on

408
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: that day, just to you know, preemptive strike of whatever

409
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: non you're about to spew a Florida many.

410
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: Hey, it's a Florida man.

411
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: So a Florida man is facing retail theft charges after

412
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: local authorities allege he stole up to forty thousand dollars

413
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: worth of trading cards for multiple Target stores using ninety

414
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: nine cent taco seasoning packets. Now you'd ask me if

415
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: you've been to Florida. Hey, wait a minute, taco seasoning packets.

416
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: What's he doing? Is he replacing the cards with taco

417
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: seasoning packets? Well, know, if you've been to Target, you

418
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: know they have for the last couple of years they've

419
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: had this self checkout system. But apparently it had some

420
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: of these stores. It's not policed very well because this

421
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: guy that got arrested many times visited Target and he

422
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: went through the self checkout system with large boxes of

423
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: trading cards and an equal number of ninety nine cent

424
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: taco seasoning packets. He would go through the self checkout

425
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: line and he would only pay for the seasoning packets.

426
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: He would then leave resell the stolen trading card. It's

427
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: on eBay, and he has generated almost forty thousand dollars

428
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: in revenue over the course of the last year. So

429
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: I have the cards, I had the taco seasoning packets.

430
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: I pay for the seasoning packets. I don't pay for

431
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: the cards. I walk out. I make money. Mike Harmon's

432
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: been to Florida three times. Okay, I think you're in

433
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: on this. I think you might be the guy in

434
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: the long game. Harmon, call Florida police.

435
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 2: There we go.

436
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 3: Okay, got it to get to forty thousand given the

437
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 3: limits that they put on sales, right, ty Shirt.

438
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: I mean you may remember this, Shay a little bit.

439
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 4: In the trading card. I mean they limit you're.

440
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: Purchased to two per per type. So I mean that

441
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: would take a lot of effort to get to forty

442
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: thousand dollars worth of sales. But you know, if you

443
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 3: got nothing else doing, you know, you don't pay taxes

444
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: on money you steal. That was from Chicken and black

445
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: from Johnny Cash.

446
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

447
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: Now, also suppose to this guy committed additional thefts like

448
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: this at Walmart and publics.

449
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: Walmart and publics in Florida.

450
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: Didn't just you know, it wasn't just target my day

451
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: card too, but Walmart in publics.

452
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Walmart.

453
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, as soon as you get to self checkout,

454
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: because you got some disinterested folks, not not all.

455
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: It's like any job. You know, some folks are in.

456
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Some folks just say hey, I'll please itself because you know,

457
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: there are cameras that are recording you on your self checkout.

458
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: So in theory, they should have caught this guy red

459
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: handed with his innumerable transactions. Because this is also now

460
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: you're you're long past the threshold of felonies. Just not

461
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: like walking into a lot of these stores. Hey, you're

462
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: under nine hundred dollars. There's only so much we're gonna know.

463
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw the book at him, He's gonna get

464
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: the needle. Well, you figure they could get him because

465
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: he's accused of committing seventy five thefts. You think you'd

466
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: be on camera a couple of times, yeah, I mean

467
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: may maybe just once a time, seventy five times. At

468
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: some point you gotta walk in and go. Man, I'm

469
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna live forever. I am teflawed. I'm just gonna keep

470
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: doing this for the rest of my life. Catch me

471
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: if you can.

472
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: They're never gonna do it.

473
00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: Unbelieve you're gonna happen.

474
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: You know, this is a sad world.

475
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 6: Man.

476
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: I always feel bad because a couple of times this

477
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: has happened, and Zoe, this is all right, But what

478
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: do I care. I'll tell the story. It's a fun Friday.

479
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: Like there's a couple of times in the last couple

480
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: of years where like Zoe and I will run to

481
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: the grocery store because we've got to get some stuff

482
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And when we get there, I'll say

483
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: to myself, Oh, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm

484
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: gonna get a donut while I'm shopping, and then you know,

485
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: I'll pay for it at the end. And because I

486
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: finish it. A couple of times, I forgot to tell

487
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: him that I know you're one of those people and

488
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: we'll get in the car and go, Dad, just pay

489
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: for the donut.

490
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I forgot, Oh my god.

491
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: And that's happened, like I would say twice in the

492
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: last years, right, like, like I buy a doughnut, eat it,

493
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: and then forget to pay for it. So now what

494
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: I do when I when I do something like that,

495
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: I always I keep the piece of plastic that I

496
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: have to grab it with. I keep it in the

497
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: cart so I know. Hell, by the way, I had

498
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: a donut. So they charge me the dollar twenty five

499
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: whatever it is for the donut. But there's a couple

500
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: of times where I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot to

501
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: tell you. I just walked around the store brazenly eating

502
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: a donut. Like I wonder if I always wondered if

503
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: like a manager would sit down with employees on a

504
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: Saturday morning and go, see, here's a guy. Look at him,

505
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: Mets hat, Mets T shirt, Mets shirts. Look at he

506
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: doesn't care. He's he's giving us the middle finger, just

507
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: eating his donut.

508
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: From aisle to aisle right here. Look at it.

509
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: Look at it, licking his lips, putting his hands on soda.

510
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: Bring it putting it down. How do we not catch

511
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 1: this guy? How do you let this guy walk out

512
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: without paying for that donut?

513
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: I think there's something to that now on the grand scale. Uh,

514
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 3: it's it's microw theft. This is the rounding error in

515
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 3: uh office space.

516
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, because that donut.

517
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: The cost of said donut isn't a ton, but it's

518
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 3: the principle of the matter. It's a gateway for you Smith,

519
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: I mean, and and since you've already stolen a mailbox

520
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 3: in the past, the donuts really just nothing.

521
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: I always find like, oh, I forgot to pay for

522
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: that doughnut those couple of times.

523
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 4: How many times did Zoe catch you?

524
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: Oh twice? Always got yad? Did you forget to pay

525
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: for that dot? Yeah?

526
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: And the second to dead you forget to pay again?

527
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: I go, okay, the last time that happened was a

528
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: year ago. Okay, I forgot to pay for the.

529
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: No many times that's happened to me. Zero.

530
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: But again, you've admitted to being in Florida a couple

531
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: of times. You've been there three times. You could pull

532
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: off twenty five robberies in a weekend. I think you

533
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: could do that.

534
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 2: I really think it's a lot of effort.

535
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: I mean, like the way you do your self scanning.

536
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 3: I can see how that would work pretty easily. Slide

537
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: the packet over the QR code and bam or the

538
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: bar code as you carry the UPC.

539
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's that's a problem. Hey, button up that

540
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: security exit out a bout of Fresca exit swollen dome.

541
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: Jason Smith make Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

542
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: Now to the combine we go, where the police are

543
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: now going to descend on the studio for Harmon and.

544
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: Tyscher for questioning.

545
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: I can tell you exactly who the Baker Mayfield of

546
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: this draft is going to be, and it's going to

547
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: be a Baker Mayfield light because he's got no chance

548
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: of going number one overall, but everything else about him him,

549
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: he's the Baker Mayfield of the draft because today Diego

550
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: Pavia is spent a long time trying to convince people

551
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: how good he is, how much swagger he has, and

552
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: how everybody is out to get him. Here's a little

553
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: bit of Pavia from earlier today.

554
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 6: One thing about me is I don't care what people

555
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 6: think about me. The way the media is they're supposed

556
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 6: to put out, you know, clickbait and things like that.

557
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 6: That's how people get views, and that's how people make money.

558
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 6: I understand that, and so like people will twist a

559
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 6: story and try to put out bad meta to get clicks,

560
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 6: good meata to get clicks. That's just what today's world

561
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 6: that we live in. So I'm I'm just adjusting to

562
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 6: the new world.

563
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, And you're not really adjusting because you think

564
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: you've done nothing wrong. We talked about him last night

565
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: in that he's going to be a big riser because

566
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: he's not going to be every team's cup of tea,

567
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: but he will be a couple of teams rabid cup

568
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: of tea, where hey, if we can get this guy second,

569
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: third round, maybe.

570
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: Hey we really might have a guy.

571
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: We might have him next Russell Wilson, Right, his size

572
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: is a thing, obviously, but the Baker Mayfield meaning, boy,

573
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: you love his swagger, but is his swagger? How much

574
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: immaturity is this rooted in? Because it's not like this

575
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: is somebody who, hey, oh I wake up in the

576
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: morning and someone's writing stuff about me. This is a

577
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: guy that wrote blank the Heisman voters when he didn't win.

578
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: This is a guy practicing kneel down's pregame against Alabama

579
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: in a game that he lost. Okay, so swagger is good,

580
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: but too much swagger and no accountability, that's something that's

581
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: going to turn some teams off, right. But that's Diego

582
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: Pavia and that's what I mean where he's polarizing from

583
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: the Hey, I love that he's not afraid of anything.

584
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: You see his talent level. But there's some things you

585
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: have to get by. You got to get by his side,

586
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: you got to get by his trolling, and I would

587
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: like to see him own a little bit of Hey,

588
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: I understand the next level. I could be the face

589
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: of a franchise and it's even bigger than being a

590
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in college football. I gotta get that. This

591
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: is what's expect me because look at Baker Mayfield. He

592
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: was taking number one overall, didn't even make it to

593
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: the end of his contract with the Cleveland Browns, and

594
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: then three teams later. Hey, he finally got it. His

595
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: maturity level kicked in when he was twenty eight twenty

596
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: nine years old and now really good career with the

597
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Right sign a big contract, but he

598
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: had to learn his lesson and not get involved in everything.

599
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's Diego Pavia that this is

600
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: a cautionary tale of Hey, you saw what happened.

601
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: To Baker Mayfield.

602
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: But he wanted to get on everybody's business, didn't want

603
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: to take responsibility for anything he did wrong. Look at

604
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: what happened to him. He got lucky that after three

605
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: or four stops in the NFL, he found his team

606
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: that he was able to play for.

607
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: And here's the thing.

608
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: Mayfield came in as a number one pick, so of

609
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: course he's going to go win as a starter. You're

610
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna go win as a later round pick. There's no

611
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: guarantee you ever see the field. You want the team

612
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: that takes you to be confident that they're taking a

613
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: guy that we can trust and not someone that we

614
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: have to worry about. Knuckle headed headlines like kneeling down

615
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: but practicing neel downs before a game, or tweeting something

616
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: out like blank the Falcons or blank the Jets, or

617
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: what teams don't want to deal with that. You're a quarterback,

618
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: you gotta do it a little bit better in the NFL.

619
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: There's a reason why guys don't jump in and succeed

620
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: that are all swagger. You gotta have some swagger, but

621
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: you gotta be that leader because being the face of

622
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: a franchise is a lot more than Diego Pavia thinks

623
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. And right now you can tell his

624
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: attitude is I'm going and I'm just being me. And

625
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: if they don't like it, blank them. Well guess what.

626
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: They might not like it and they may say blank you,

627
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: and guess what. You're not getting tracked and you're not

628
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. A couple of teams are gonna

629
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: love him, and he's gonna get his chance because that's

630
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: just how it goes a couple of but broader, he

631
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: would have much broader appeal if he would own at

632
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: least a little bit of what he did in college

633
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: was Hey, that's an immaturity that goes a little bit

634
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: over the line. Right want to understand and when you

635
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: make a mistake, we want to know that these things

636
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: are teachable for you, and that's a moment you can

637
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: learn from. But instead, when you get clickbait and they

638
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: hate me and everybody's out to get me, team c

639
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: through that and they go, Okay, this is a guy

640
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: that I don't know, man, I don't know about him

641

00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 3: old soul that's been around a long time. I mean

645
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: it's evolution. Now you're a kid, and you've been here

646
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: for the entirety of the social media spear. Now that

647
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: that quote was good, I'm gonna one up you with

648
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: one who says, hey, I've done some knuckleheaded things, but

649
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: I'm not done yet.

650

00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: to be a jackass for the next three hundred and

656
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: sixty days.

657
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: The day I turned twenty five, all of a sudden,

658
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna come and dress and suit and ties every

659
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: day and talking like a college professor. Yes, the conflagration

660
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: and the licentiousness of what is happening, the anti disestablishmentarianism

661
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: of the super Coli fratulist next me Alidosius, that's all

662
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna go through.

663
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: Whatever you want to.

664
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,800

Speaker 3: he's gonna wake up and it's a new world order.

666
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 4: No qu uh huh.

667
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 3: Sure if you weren't already coming in with a lot

668
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: of questions about, Look, you're not gonna suddenly grow six inches, right,

669
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: you're not wenby where we're wondering where you're gonna stop.

670
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 3: We know what you are physically as you get to

671
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: the next level, and you showed a lot of good things,

672
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: and he talked about playing big time teams in the SEC.

673
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: All of that's great, and all of that is valid.

674
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 3: But with a couple of quick comments here, you have

675
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: shown you've learned nothing during the last several months of

676
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: the trials and tribunations and the media coverage. Because even

677
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: when he was talking about he's like, yeah, they'll tear

678
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: it out and they do the good stuff too. It's like,

679
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: all right, you don't even know what you want to

680
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: say at this point, so just go back, go back

681
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 3: behind the curtain, and let's try it again.

682
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like Baker Mayfield was, except understand, you're

683
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: less of a prospect and you are a project in

684
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: the NFL, and you need to come in and understand

685
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: that you're not guaranteed to be given a shot, that

686
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: no one's gonna reach up and grab you in the

687
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: first round, like you have to understand when you come in.

688
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: As a later round draft pick.

689
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: The line between you even making the team and getting

690
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: cut is so thin.

691
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: So I mean, I get confidence.

692
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: But man, the swagger and when there's too much of it, man,

693
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: you're just hurting yourself. Really, you're just hurting yourself. Time

00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 7: did not take kindly to this. This is a guy who,

777
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 7: this is not news at this point, has a triple

778
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 7: double in this game. Denver is down too at Oklahoma

779
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 7: City with eight minutes to go. Replays are showing refs

780
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 7: are still working things out and looking at video.

781
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: Uh it is.

782
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is gonna be a little bit here they

783
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be something where, oh, we're

784
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna figure things.

785
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 2: Out how we uh, how we like it?

786
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 5: Uh.

787
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: You see Jokic who gets who gets run on by

788
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams, and Jokic just takes a swing at him.

789
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: Every the benches empty, people at the center of the floor. Uh,

790
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a thing. You can see Williams

791
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: sort of as the ball is coming up the floor

792
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: in Denver's bringing it up.

793
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta look like Steve.

794
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: Remember in the World Series in seventy seven, Reggie Jackson

795
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: stuck his fat hipping the way and the ball knocked

796
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 1: off it, and all they want Yankee scored a bunch

797
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: of runs and won.

798
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 2: The World Series. No replay back then, no replay back then,

799
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: but clearly he stuck his hip in the way. Uh.

800
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: That kind of looks like what Jalen Williams did to

801
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: Jokic running down the floor where Williams kind of just

802
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: kind of backed into him a little bit, knocked.

803
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 2: Jokic to the ground.

804
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: Jokis takes a swing on him, and this is the

805
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: Donnybrook of what's happening right now.

806
00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 5: Uh.

807
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 2: As they look at this and.

808
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 7: As they were face to face, Jalen Williams did like

809
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 7: was grabbing the jersey of Yokic.

810
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is this wasn't something that oh yeah,

811
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: they got out to the middle of the floor.

812
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: No, No, this was Williams knocked the ookch down.

813
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: Jokic got up, grabbed him and threw a punch at him.

814
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: Not not a full roundhouse.

815
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: And you know rack back and punch thrown, but this

816
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: was a left handed throw.

817
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 7: Uh so, yeah, the technical fouls off setting for Williams

818
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 7: and Jokic, but Dort gets a flagrant too and is out.

819
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 4: Oh and I know it all started with lou Dort.

820
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: That's gonna make you unhappy, Mike Harmon, because I know

821
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: the unadult traded love you have for Lou Dort.

822
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 4: No, it was a cheap shot and sh it was

823
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 4: he stopped and threw his hip out.

824
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no excusing that. Like I can like

825
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: the tenacity he'll play with h most of the time.

826
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: This was cheap and you blind It's like a blind

827
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: side block in the National Football League and you're going

828
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 3: at the guy's legs to where you're you're potentially causing

829
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 3: tremendous issues on a big man.

830
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: So Dorty was walking off.

831
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 7: He has been ejected.

832
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Dort Dort shook because you know Dort Dort

833
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: did that. It was and you know, seeing it a

834
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: few times more, it was more of a I'm taking

835
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: a step into Jokic to knock him down, and then

836
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams jumps in and lou Dort is doing the

837
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: backup going, hey what did I do? Hey, you guys fight.

838
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to fight Jokic.

839
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 2: You guy, go on, what do I do? What do

840
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: I do? Uh? But yeah, this is gonna be a thing.

841
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,959
Speaker 1: And now it's gonna be a thing for Jokic as well,

842
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: because he got it and he threw a punch at

843
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams.

844
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: Even then when Williams jumped in.

845
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: To try to uh uh, you know, just to get

846
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: in the middle of this and maybe get in front

847
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: of lou Dort. Uh. Yeah, this is gonna be a

848
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: thing here the rest of this game between Oklahoma City.

849
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 7: And they thought the sticking out of the leg was

850
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 7: too close to the Jokic knee like to cause an

851
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 7: injury in the back court, so that's why they kicked

852
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 7: him out.

853
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thank you Steve, oh thanks for keeping

854
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: eye this one. And Mike, Mike Harmon, finally you get

855
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: to talk about lou Dort. You like to you like

856
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: to shoehorn lou Dort into every conversation we have, and

857
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: now we have a lou Dort story.

858
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 3: It really has been a long time since that's happened.

859
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 3: But sure, the show's today, we'll go back to lou Dort,

860
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 3: who has the reputation of playing things along the edges,

861
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 3: which you can appreciate if he's your guy, right with coaches, players, whatever.

862
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: As you used to say with Beehive, he's your monster.

863
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 3: But this game got chippy. Earlier you had an SGA

864
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: play with Jokicch where he's going out of bounds and

865
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 3: fired the ball off him to where it got a

866
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: little bit heated.

867
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 4: But Jokich here was in a murderous rage.

868
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 2: Man.

869
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 3: He was looking to get after lou Dort. Oh yeah,

870
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 3: he would have been on the bad side of some

871
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 3: potential haymakers before it was all said and done. Man,

872
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 3: that I want that on a trading card. Give me

873
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: a tops now for that. Look at the anger from NICOLEA.

874
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 3: Jokicch normally the mild manner just kind of go along.

875
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 3: Does he really care?

876
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

877
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: I think he does.

878
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: Man, Well, this game will count for Yoki Trempy. I

879
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: mean we'll count towards that. No matter what happens from

880
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: here on out, he gets credit for this game. Now,

881
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of games he gets suspended, he won't

882
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: be able to play, because what do we talk about

883
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: last hour.

884
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: Guys aren't going to play enough games.

885
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you throw a punch, that could be a

886
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: suspension and maybe you take yokch out. In about a

887
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: week or so, he won't be able to play enough

888
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: games to be MVP.

889
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 2: Woof.

890
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: All right, so we're still dealing with the fallout from

891
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: this left More on this again, Jokic, lou Dort, Jalen Williams.

892
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Really something happening right now between Denver and Oklahoma City.

893
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: We got more on this. We got the Magic Johnson

894
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 2: Twitter game. We had more big stories from the NFL.

895
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: We're a full service Friday Night here for you next

896
