1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: Deep de Seger, Welcome in everybody, Fox Sports Radio, Fox

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday, Ertards, Jason Martin. We are broadcasting live from

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios eleven PM Eastern. De Sager

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: just told you all about what has happened throughout a

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: busy day in sports. College hoops has started to ramp

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: up as we are now quite literally one hour away

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: from March. NBA is ramping up. We got some Olympic

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: hockey to discuss. We got two old guys about to

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: fight each other. We're calling it boxing with Pacquiao and Mayweather.

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: Jaymart busy week, a lot to discuss. How are you, sir?

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: How are you better than Arkansas?

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 4: Better than Arkansas, better than Virginia?

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: Well, Arkansas, I mean one hundred and nine points in

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: the game's not over in college basketball. That's a rough

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: night right there. But now I'm doing I am doing

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: pretty well. We did not have a sick free weekend

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 3: in this house, though, so we're we're right now crossing

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: our fingers. But my oldest caught yet another stomach book.

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: She's had three stomach viruses since the middle of December. Oh,

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: and we are catching all of them. Just like desperate.

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: I'm very, very tired of being nauseated. But again, even

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: if I was nauseated, getting drubbed by thirty and then

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: in a conference game this deep into the year, pretty

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: stunning just in terms of how dominant Florida has been. Well,

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: i'll tell you what.

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: Florida was one of several highly ranked teams that were

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: dominant this weekend. We will talk college hoops in a second,

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: but you talk about nauseating up until tonight, that's how

30
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: you can describe the Los Angeles Lakers.

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: They were on a.

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: Four game losing streak coming into this evening. Now, they

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: did take care of the Golden State Warriors one nine,

34
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: one o one. As de Seger just told you, no

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: Steph Curry for the Warriors in the victory, but it

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: was the first victory in five games for the Los

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers. What we're not gonna do is breakdown, you know,

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: the third quarter of this game and in the fourth

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: quarter that happened. We got all April and may to

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 2: break down individual NBA games, but think it's noteworthy. As

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: I log on ESPN dot com, the lead story, Charles

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: Barkley says, the Lakers are not contenders. I bring it

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: up because it was part of a series of basically

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: everybody in the media throughout the week just absolutely crushing

45
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers, and it feels like Jmart this

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: is officially the Don't Blame Lebron twenty twenty six tour.

47
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: You know, it's the Don't Blame Lebron Tour twenty twenty

48
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: six versions. So before I throw it to you, a

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: couple notes. You know, Barkley says they're not a title contender.

50
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: Max Keller earlier this week said, every single trip down

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: the floor, you're complaining to the refs. Luca, every single

52
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: trip down the floor, even when he hits a shot,

53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: you're not gonna get it done. It can't be the

54
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: refs who blow every call. Luka, Doncic Rich and he

55
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: was talking to Rich Paul. He said, you and I

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: both saw last night. This was a few nights ago

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: after they lost to the Celtics. Jalen Brown is better

58
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: than Luca, better player.

59
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: I'd rather have.

60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: Him on my team. So Max Kellerman is on the record,

61
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: blame Luca. He con plays too much of the refs.

62
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: I'd rather have Jalen Brown.

63
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: He's cashing his checks.

64
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: Well, he's cashing his checks.

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: He's doing a podcast with Lebron's agents, so you know

66
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: how they're gonna feel about Lebron. Kendrick Perkins, former Lebron teammate,

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: wasn't quick to blame Luka Doncic, but instead JJ Reddick.

68
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: Here is what he said on First Take earlier this week.

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 5: It was very loud and look, JJ got more excuses

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 5: than a brother going to jail. I don't want to

71
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: get it. You got a nice time for you to coach,

72
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 5: get the attention of your locker room when you had

73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 5: one of the worst defensive teams in the league. That

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 5: is a ref on the coach. But let me say

75
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 5: this for the overall pitchure Number one, when it comes

76
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 5: to Lebron and the Lakers relationship, that relationship is one

77
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: foot on the grave and another on the banana pill.

78
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: Number two, when you look at the Lakers, I'm looking

79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 5: at the bigger picture. Since they always talking about the future,

80
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: are we sure that Austin Reeves and Luka Doncic can

81
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: be your two max guys and you could build around

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 5: those two guys to go win a championship.

83
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: That was Kendrick Perkins earlier in the week, blame JJ Reddick.

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: You can't win with Luka Doncicen Austin Reeves as Lebron

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: has one foot out the door, Jamar, i'd i'ta let

86
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: you take it wherever I want. I have my opinions.

87
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to project my own opinions onto you.

88
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: What did you make of what he Here's to be

89
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: a smear campaign for everybody but Lebron.

90
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: This week, That's what I make of it. Max Kellerman

91
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: doing a podcast with rich Paul Perry being Luka Doncic

92
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: while Rich Paul just kind of sits back and lets

93
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: him do it because well they agreed on it, no

94
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: question about that. You got people carrying Lebron's water across

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: the media left and right, because you've got to create

96
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: the narrative once again that Lebron doesn't have help. I mean,

97
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 3: dude never has help, and when he wins, he's just

98
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 3: done it for his teammates. One of the two things

99
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: has to be true. Lebron James is killing the NBA.

100
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: He's destroying it because it is not a league to him.

101
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: It's just him. It's just him, and he's sick of

102
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: fans and he wants to make sure that he goes

103
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: down as being better than MJ. And we're not doing

104
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: that debate. It's not a debate anyway. It's MJ by

105
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: a mile anyway. The Luca thing is so absurd. The

106
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves thinks so absurd. I mean, we already knew

107
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: Luka Doncic was not a particularly good defender. Guess what.

108
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: Lebron James is a poor defender as well. At this point,

109
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: he takes about seventy five days, eighty percent of the

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: plays off on defense. You can find clip after clip

111
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: after clip after clip. Go to YouTube and search. You'll

112
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: find him because people there actually care a little bit

113
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: and aren't carrying his water because he's not paying them

114
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: and he's and they're not in the league. There's just

115
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: him not going for rebounds, him not hustling back, him

116
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: arguing with the officials. And now we're listening to that,

117
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: Luca's doing that. Yeah, of course Luca does it. So

118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: does Kevin Durant, so does Lebron James, so did Tim Duncan.

119
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: All these great players, they've they've grown used to doing that.

120
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: And Luca's insufferable when it comes to that. I'm not

121
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: suggesting that he's not, but that's nothing new. But you

122
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: cannot go from the extremes, the same media types cannot

123
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: go from the extremes of how this is all time

124
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: great to it's terrible and it's all Luca's fault, like

125
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: it's it's absolutely absurd. What about that Lakers team before

126
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: Lebron came back, that was winning games left and right,

127
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 3: Luca with a giant smile on his face, in shape,

128
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: Austin ree like boll guarding interviews at the end of

129
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: him and stuff like that. Just they seem to be

130
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: having a blast. Everybody was getting along, Reddick was coaching well,

131
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: everything looked perfect. And we said it on this show

132
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: Erin that the biggest problem for the Los Angeles Lakers

133
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: was that Lebron James was eventually going to come back

134
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: into that lineup and he was going to ruin it.

135
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: He was going to he was gonna ruin the sauce.

136
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what has happened. He and Luca don't

137
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: play well together. That I don't think should surprise just

138
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: about anybody. And now the knives are out because now

139
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: we have to explain this thing away, and we need

140
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: to find a way to make Lebron somehow the sympathetic figure.

141
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: And I hate to tell him this and Erin, maybe

142
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna disagree with me here, but he's the least

143
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: sympathetic figure I can possibly imagine in the NBA. He's

144
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: less sympathetic than Durant, He's less sympathetic than James Harden.

145
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: He's less sympathetic than all of these guys because everything

146
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: is such a calculation, passive, aggressive, almost marketing ploy for

147
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: his own brand, at the expense of his team, at

148
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: the expense of the league, at the expense of the sport.

149
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: I said it before, I will say it again. I

150
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: cannot wait until he retires. I can't. I don't think

151
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: I've ever said that about an all time great athlete

152
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: like Lebron James. But every story about him, every time

153
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: I see him in the uniform, everything he does seems

154
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: so phony, so astro turfed. It's just it just actively

155
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: turns my stomach, like it's just ridiculous.

156
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: So let's see Lebron. Let's see here.

157
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: Made his season debut on the twenty. His first game

158
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: was a win over the Utah Jazz, probably not that surprising,

159
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: so they were ten and four without him. They have

160
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: now played ten and four, so twenty five and twenty

161
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: with Lebron James as he came back into the lineup.

162
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: A couple thoughts there. So one, I don't really disagree

163
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: with anything you said. I was thinking about this and

164
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: I didn't want to cut you off right at the

165
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: beginning of of of you know, giving you, you know,

166
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: passing you the mic is that Rich Paul. So I

167
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: was thinking about this, and it's funny. At one of

168
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: my fill in shows and maybe you were with me,

169
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: I can't remember. We had Mart madeIn on and I

170
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: literally said to Mark Medean, I said, what is the

171
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: upside to Rich Paul having a podcast? Like like you know,

172
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: and I'm being serious, is that there's a lot of

173
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: good reasons to do it, if you want to be

174
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: in the media, if you're a retired athlete, if you're whatever.

175
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: Right.

176
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 4: Rich Paul, to his credit.

177
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: By the way, is independently wealthy, is independently successful, and

178
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: it does nothing to elevate his quote unquote brand. It

179
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: does nothing to elevate his business. And I think it's

180
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: actually the exact opposite. It's kind of weird, right, Like

181
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this while you were while you

182
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: were kind of talking about that aspect of it is

183
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: it's the weird thing where you own only want to

184
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: to like, I don't care about Rich Paul's take on

185
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: you know, show Hey o Tani or you know, even

186
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: NBA related. I don't really care his take on Kate Cunninghammer,

187
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: who's the MVP. Like you want to hear about the Lakers,

188
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 2: and you want to hear about Lebron, But then no

189
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: matter what he says, there's obvious bias and you take

190
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: it with a grain of salt. I don't know that

191
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: that's even one of the top like twenty five parts

192
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: of this conversation, But I think about that. What you're

193
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: saying is like, is there any actual upside to him

194
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: having a podcast? And is there anything like, like, is

195
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: there anything that you care about except when.

196
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 4: He's talking about Lebron?

197
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: But even when he's talking about Lebron, you know it

198
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: doesn't come from a genuine place. Again, relative to the team,

199
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: relative to Luca, relative to JJ, it's not the most

200
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: important thing. But I was thinking about that. I'll toss

201
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: it over to you because it was just on my

202
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: mind while you were talking.

203
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think that that's a great question.

204
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: I think the answer is no. I don't think that

205
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: he cares to the degree.

206
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: That you care about anything. Rich Paul says, do you

207
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: care about anything specifically not related to Lebron and the Lakers?

208
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: Okay, no, not at all, but more than anything else.

209
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: It's just it's a bad look. It's a bad optic.

210
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: It looks like it's designed to be a pr campaign

211
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: for one athlete. I don't care who else he represents,

212
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter to me. He's Lebron James. He would

213
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: he would crawl over broken glass, Lebron James. He would

214
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: crawl over the carcasses of some of his other clients

215
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: for Lebron James, as far as I'm concerned. And he's

216
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: got Kellerman and look listening to Kellerman basically just say

217
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: the things Rich Paul would want to say, while Rich

218
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: just kind of sits back. I'm like, okay, man, Like, dude,

219
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: I just finished watching the Elimination Chamber and this is

220
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: way way, way more contrived and spect than what I

221
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: just saw into the United Center. Like it's just all

222
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: of it is just I don't even know what word

223
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: I want to use to describe it. It's just I

224
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: think the kids these days, at least the girls would

225
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: say it's ick. That's kind of what it feels like.

226
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: It's just it's so disgustingly obviously phony. There's like nothing

227
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: you use the word genuine, like, yeah, there's no authenticity

228
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: here whatsoever. We already know what the point of view

229
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 3: is going to be on every issue before it is stated,

230
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 3: and so why on earth would anyone listen to it?

231
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: The only reason now to I think this actually backs

232
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: your argument even stronger. Only reason anybody really wants to

233
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: listen to it is to pick out the stuff that

234
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 3: they can use against Lebron James and use against Rich

235
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: Paul because it's so obvious, like it's coming from such

236
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: an astroturfed place that it becomes like the hate watch

237
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 3: of all time. Like, yeah, we'll listen to the podcast

238
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: because we need to pull this sound so that we

239
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: can use that to say, can you believe that they

240
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: actually are trying to push this narrative? Because essentially that's

241
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: what you're getting. It's like, this is the narrative that

242
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: Lebron and the sycophants are trying to push. This is

243
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 3: what Rich Paul has told them to push, they've got

244
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: their marching orders. Do I think it's like official, they're

245
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: sitting down and doing this. No, But unofficially there are

246
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: people that we already knew where they stood when it

247
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: came to Lebron James, and even a few more this

248
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: week that came out that I didn't know that they

249
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: were quite as in the tank for Lebron as it

250
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: seemed like they were this week. Like, you can criticize Luca,

251
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: but to assume and to assert and to put out

252
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: there that everything is on him, absolutely everything, Not the

253
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: other guy, not Lebron James, not the guy that missed

254
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: all the time at the beginning of the season, not

255
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: the one that's saying I don't know if this is

256
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: going to be my last year, not that guy, not

257
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: that dude at all. It's all about Luka Dancic, Like

258
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,119
Speaker 3: I don't it's pathetic, Aaron, It's truly truly pathetic.

259
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, and the other thing back to the original part

260
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: of the conversation about what Perk said and what everybody

261
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: else said. To your point, we all knew Luca wasn't

262
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: an elite defender. But you want to blame JJ, you

263
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: want to blame Austin Reeves want to blame everybody but Lebron.

264
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: But we've seen that you can build a team around

265
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: Luca's strengths and hide its weaknesses and say it's called

266
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: literally the last team that he played on in Dallas

267
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: that made the NBA Finals.

268
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: Not the last team, but the second to last team.

269
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 4: We know, we know what it's talking about.

270
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: So that's the other thing too, is like it's also transparent.

271
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: And the other thing that stands out about it is that,

272
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: like every complaint that you have about Luca, you can

273
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: argue that it has been proven that you can work

274
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: around and hide And oh, by the way, here's the

275
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: other part that I didn't hear Kendrick Perkins say that.

276
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: I didn't hear Rich Paul say that I hear Max

277
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: Kellerman say, surprise, surprise, part of the team. Part of

278
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: the reason that they can't build around Luca is because

279
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: Lebron James opted into a contract that is paying him

280
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: fifty four million dollars this year.

281
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 4: Now, to be clear, it's not my money.

282
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: I'm not here to tell Lebron James that, you know,

283
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: he shouldn't take a fifty four million dollar contract if

284
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: that is what he and you know the Lakers agreed to,

285
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: but to the point that Charles Barkley made before the

286
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: show that I have not had a chance to see

287
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: the clip yet because of course we're on air. He said,

288
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: they're not a championship contender.

289
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: They're not.

290
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: But the biggest reason that you can't build a team

291
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: around Luca is because you have a forty one year

292
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: old former superstar who's taking up fifty four million dollars.

293
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: Of your caps.

294
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: So it's all I don't even know what the right

295
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: word is, but it's just it's all exhausting, and it

296
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: all goes back to the point that you brought up

297
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: a second ago, j Martin. We just need Lebron James

298
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: out of this league. I've said it for you know

299
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: for the last year, is that there are fun stories.

300
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: You know, there's a negative aura around the NBA in general,

301
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: but I think that there are a lot of fun

302
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: stories that are getting overlooked because Lebron continues to suck

303
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: the oxygen out of the room. And we know what

304
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: those stories are, whether it's Wemby and san Antonio, whether

305
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: it's okay Se going for back to back, whether it's Jokich,

306
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: whether it's a Brunson into the Knicks, whether it's Kate

307
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: Cunningham the Pistons, these are all good stories, all fun players,

308
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: and they all have to take a back seat when

309
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: Lebron James is in your league.

310
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you want to begin to turn the

311
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: page at some point. And almost everybody has left the

312
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: game with some kind of dignity and some like a

313
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: there's like an aura surrounding them that's at least a positive.

314
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: There's an elder statesman aura. Lebron seems to be getting

315
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: more petulant and more petty by the week, and just this, like,

316
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: I think it's actually been this last year year and

317
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 3: a half specifically, where a lot of people on his team,

318
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: the media team and everything else are trying to move

319
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: the goalposts as it relates to what should determine who

320
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: the best of all time is, And it's just like, really, like, dude,

321
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: can you not just be one of the best, because

322
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: you absolutely are. You've lived up to every expectation that

323
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: people had for you when you were a youngster. Your

324
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: career has been magical in many respects. Has it been perfect?

325
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 5: No.

326
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: Have you lost a few finals, yes, but you've won

327
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: a few. You've done a lot of good things in

328
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: the NBA, all these things, do we have to go

329
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: out like this? And the answer is yeah, apparently we're

330
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: gonna go out sad, and it's gonna be a day

331
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: where a lot of us are gonna pop champagne or

332
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 3: grape juice when we find out that you're done, because

333
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: then we can get back to actually watching basketball again

334
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: instead of this circus.

335
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: The last last I thought I had, because you mentioned it,

336
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: is you know, you talked about the way that he's

337
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: going out. I think the crazy part too, is the

338
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 2: fact that like it feels like the last like literally

339
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: three years. It feels like we're a year away, Like,

340
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: let Lebron do this because he's an all time great

341
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: and he's not gonna be around forever. Oh, let him

342
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: draft his son because come on, I mean, how many

343
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: more years does he really have? Maybe it's only his

344
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: last year and it'll be one year and.

345
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 4: It'll be whatever.

346
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: Then there has been the return trips to Cleveland, which

347
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: he's now had multiple return trips to Cleveland, which feel

348
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: like the you know, the final one and we need

349
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: to celebrate it in whatever. He had the Pat McAfee

350
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 2: interview a year ago, which was like, you know, from

351
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: what I remember, like the first real, just long form

352
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: sit down, lets it all off of his chest, and

353
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, you know, well he's on his way out,

354
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: he wants it whatever.

355
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 4: And that's the that's the exhausting part of it is

356
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 4: it just.

357
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: Feels like, like I said, is that if there was

358
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: I think this is maybe I guess the point that

359
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get to.

360
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 4: If we knew there was an end date, I think

361
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: maybe it would be a little bit more tolerable.

362
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: But like I said, it feels like each of the

363
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: last three seasons, we've thought, Okay, this might be it,

364
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: let's celebrate it.

365
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 4: But now it's just like, dude, come on man, Like

366
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 4: I said.

367
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: The Bronni stuff Bronni this season, multiple celebrations in Cleveland,

368
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: it's time to go.

369
00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 3: That beef with Jalen Brown.

370
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, comments, yeah, we get to that. Yeah, that was.

371
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: What a ridiculous deal that is. And he even came

372
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: out and said that, and he's like, I mean, Brian's

373
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: got a long way to go. That's another story. Lebron

374
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 3: basically basically admitted that Jalen Brown was right. I don't

375
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: think he even realized what he was saying in that moment,

376
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: but essentially he was saying, yeah, Bronn he's not very good,

377
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 3: and he's right. He's right, his son is not very

378
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 3: good when it comes to NBA basketball. I know that's

379
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: hard to say, but it's like, so, why are you

380
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 3: mad at Jalen Brown? Like Jaylen Brown didn't say it

381
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: to a camera or anything like that. He got caught

382
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 3: saying it, and then you freaked out over it and

383
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: you said, oh, we're all right, me and JB We're

384
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: all right. Whatever was it however he said it, but

385
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 3: he's like, and I know, I mean, you know, Briny's

386
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: got a long way to go. It's like, what, what

387
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 3: excuse me? You just pick up a microphone said that again,

388
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I heard you clearly. I mean we

389
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: all know this, as have you since before he was drafted,

390
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 3: But you know, whatever, again, it's all just it's all

391
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: such a sideshow. It's like, Adam Silver, get a hold

392
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 3: of your super or star just tell them to tell

393
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: them to just play ball because the rest of this

394
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: stuff is just a horrible look on your league and

395
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: it's not doing anything good for Lebron James.

396
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 4: I'm Silver needs to get a hold on a lot

397
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 4: of things. Yeah, that's Lebron James being one of them.

00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 4: Sir, Well?

434
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 7: The West Coast Conference season ends tonight. It is Jason

435
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 7: Martin's favor It's back. It is halftime ninth rank and

00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 7: Zaga leads at Saint Mary's thirty six to twenty nine

437
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 7: for the conference. This ends the regular season. Santa Clair

438
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 7: already won at home easily against Oregon State. Santa Clair

439
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 7: finishes fifteen to three in the WCC. The conference tournament

440
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 7: starts next week in Vegas. There are quote only three

441
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 7: different leagues that are having their conference attorney in Vegas.

442
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 7: It used to be more than that PAC twelve included,

443
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 7: not the case, of course anymore. But next week West

444
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 7: Coast Conference at the Orleans Arena, which I know you

445
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 7: are familiar with, great little place.

446
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 4: I've been there yet, And.

447
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 7: The week after that the Mountain West in Vegas, and

448
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 7: also the WAT Conference tournament in Vegas. But I looked

449
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 7: up tickets for the Orleans Arenas starting quarterfinals on the

450
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 7: actual ticket price starts at over one hundred bucks a piece.

451
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: It's probably one of those you got to buy the

452
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: whole packet, right like that's how these sermons usually work,

453
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: which is what I thought.

454
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 7: No, there was a different price for before the quarterfinals,

455
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 7: so I'm just a bit astounded on that. Anyway, it's

456
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 7: currently Zags up by seven squeeze that can.

457
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 4: Zago money out before they leave the league. I get it,

458
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: I get it.

459
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 7: That's right, because, of course, as I mentioned, we had

460
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 7: a conference game with Oregon State at Santa Claara earlier tonight.

461
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 7: We did have, as you mentioned earlier in the show,

462
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 7: complete dominance in the SEC by seventh ranked Florida wound

463
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 7: up winning against number twenty Arkansas one eleven to seventy seven.

464
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 7: That one to eleven, most points in any Gators hoops

465
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 7: game in almost a decade. Florida had seven different guys

466
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 7: scoring in double figures in the last thirty years. Only

467
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 7: one other instance of an SEC team doing that against

468
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 7: a ranked opponent, and apparently this thirty four point win

469
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 7: largest in Gators program history against an AP ranked opponent

470
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 7: that according to ESPN number seventeen Alabama failed at number

471
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 7: twenty two ranked Tennessee by thirteen points with twelve minutes

472
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 7: to go. Bama won the game in a comeback seventy

473
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 7: one sixty nine. Sixteenth ranked Texas Tech one at number

474
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 7: four Iowa State eighty two seventy three number one Duke

475
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 7: dominated Virginia number two Arizona all over Kansas. Sixth rank

476
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 7: yukot escaped at home against Seaton Hall seventy one sixty seven.

477
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 7: It was West Virginia up setting slumping BYU, which is

478
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 7: ranked nineteenth this week but has lost eight of twelve.

479
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 7: BYU dropped a seventy nine seventy one decision to West Virginia.

480
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 7: Clemson Louisville, Kentucky over Vanderbilt, and the late NBA game

481
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 7: has about ten minutes to go. New Orleans lead is

482
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 7: now just eighty nine seventy nine at Utah. Earlier, the

483
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 7: Lakers won easily at Golden State one twenty nine one

484
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 7: oh one, Luka donsig twenty six points. Charlotte and Toronto

485
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 7: each one. Miami Beach Houston today one fifteen one oh

486
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 7: five despite thirty two points from Kevin Durant. Among the

487
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 7: thirteen NHL games, the late one at Seattle has the

488
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 7: Kraken I had three to one over the Canucks in

489
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 7: the second period. Dallas in overtime edged Nashville's three to two,

490
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 7: Montreal six to two over Washington MLS. Montreal got shut

491
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 7: out three nothing by Chicago. A reminder, the IndyCar season

492
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 7: starts Sunday on Fox TV on the streets of Saint Petersburg, Florida.

493
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 7: Nashcarsay in Austin, Texas Sunday on Fox Tyler Reddick will

494
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 7: start from the poll. Shane van Gisbergen today took the

495
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 7: O'Reilly Series race and a tennis note, Danil Medvedev won

496
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 7: the final at Dubai when his opponent had to withdraw

497
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 7: due to injury. No match back to you, Thank.

498
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: You very much, Steve Seger, Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports

499
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: Saturday and the Sunday Era towards Jason Martin. We are

500
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. NFL Combine

501
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: going on in Indianapolis as we speak.

502
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 4: You know, all listen.

503
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: I I you know, it's always it's it's football, so

504
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: people want to watch. Didn't talk about it. I don't

505
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: know how much we're gonna get out of there. That's

506
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: super noteworthy. Thought it was interesting though. Obviously Fernando Mendoza

507
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 2: trending is the number one overall pick. You sent me

508
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: the story, Jason, I don't think it's as salacious as

509
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: the set the headline makes it sound. But you know,

510
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: dan Orlovsky listen, great Yukon Husky Shall in Connecticut, obviously

511
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 2: a respected quarterback analyst whatever, talked about Fernando Mendoza, talked

512
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: about Ty Simpson.

513
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 4: And he did say earlier in the week, I'm through.

514
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: Eight games of Mendoza tape now, and through eight games,

515
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: you see good, but there's a lot of underwhelming. I

516
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: think through eight games ty Simpson's tape at Alabama is

517
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: significantly more impressive than Fernando Mendoza's.

518
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: And so it's an interesting quote.

519
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: It is worth noting that ty Simpson and Alabama were

520
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: seven and one through eight games of the season. There

521
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: was a time where we thought ty Simpson could be actually,

522
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: frankly like the number one overall pick because they were

523
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: playing so well. Remember at one point they won four

524
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: straight games against ranked opponents, and we were talking about,

525
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: you know, is this the best team in college football?

526
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 4: Whatever?

527
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: They finished the season after starting seven to one, they

528
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: finished eleven and four overall, which means they went four

529
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: and three down the stretch. So one, ty Simpson kind

530
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: of flatlined. Two Fernando Mendoza's best games were probably against

531
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: Ohio State and Oregon and teams like that. So I

532
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: don't know that it's a huge thing, but it's certainly

533
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: made headlines this week. Do you make much out of

534
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: Dani Orlovski basically saying that through two thirds of the

535
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: way through the regular season he thought ty Simpson was

536
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: more impressive on tape than Fernando Mendez.

537
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 3: So it's not a huge thing. It only makes me

538
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 3: roll my eyes because it's the thing that you say

539
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: to get forty five minutes out of a TV set.

540
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: Sure fair, and that's what That's what we're gonna hear

541
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 3: for the next couple of months. A lot of the

542
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: analysis is not analysis. Look, the analysis right now doesn't

543
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: mean anything. So they can say all sorts of stuff,

544
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: and it can create debate, it can create discussion, all

545
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 3: these things. I think the biggest problem now is just

546
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: I don't know who to believe anymore. Because they're all

547
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 3: on TV. They're all taught what to say, they organize

548
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: their thoughts before they go on air, all of those

549
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 3: kinds of things. They know what they're going to be doing.

550
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 3: So you know, immediately after Dan made those comments, they

551
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: took them on to that big time show that runs

552
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: in the morning, and the one host was appalled at Dan,

553
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: and we know who that one host was, And it's

554
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 3: just like, so, did Dan even believe what he was

555
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: saying here? And Dan's I'm not questioning his integrity because

556
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: I understand he's on TV, And then like he hasn't

557
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: actually said that everything I say here is true and

558
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: all these other kinds of things. I get it. I

559
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: understand how the game is played. And Dave's a nice

560
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 3: guy at the times that we dealt with him when

561
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: Clay was still with Fox and we were one of

562
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: the first shows that ever had him on this long

563
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: before he was working for ESPN, and we saw a

564
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: lot in him and just a really, really nice guy.

565
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: But it's the saying that right now, when Mendoza has

566
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: been talked about the way he has been for the

567
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 3: last month and a half to two, it's just kind

568
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 3: of convenient timing to all of a sudden bring up

569
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: somebody else, and not just bring up somebody else, but

570
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: bring up somebody else whose star had fallen off a

571
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: cliff because of just what happened down the stretch to

572
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 3: that Alabama team and how controversial it was that they

573
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: even made it into the playoff and all of those

574
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: other things. And now it's you know what, I actually

575
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: think he might be better than Fernando Mendoza. And it's

576
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: just like I can I just say, I don't know

577
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: that I believe that that's actually what you think. I

578
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,719
Speaker 3: think that's what you what you're saying right now. I

579
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: think some other people have like now come out and said, well,

580
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: you know what, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no,

581
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 3: this isn't anything against Ty Simpson. Yeah, he did have

582
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 3: a good start to the season. We talked about it

583
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: on this very program, But if you haven't watched the

584
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 3: whole season, then don't come out and make the comment that,

585
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: you know what, through the eight games that I've seen,

586
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: he's definitely like he's impressing me, and Mendoza is not

587
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: all that great. And it's just like, we'll finish the season,

588
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: first of all. Second of all, what are we gaining

589
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: out of this outside of these comments. It's just this

590
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: is the kind of thing that happens the combine. I've

591
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: said this for years. It is the season of lies

592
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: in the NFL. The Combine and the run up to

593
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: the draft, all of this little span over this next

594
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: two months or so, it is just lie after lie

595
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 3: after lie, convenient thing after convenient thing, this thing to

596
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: put me back on TV, this thing from my own

597
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: network that's gonna get talked about by all the other

598
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: shows and create content out of content like a Russian

599
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 3: nesting doll, like all of this kind of it's just

600
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 3: it's more just irritating to see that. It's just like, really,

601
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 3: Ty Simpson's tape is better than Fernando Mendoz's and all

602
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: this other stuff.

603
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: Now, let me try to jump in, is that anyone

604
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: who followed the college football season, like I said, ty

605
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: Simpson was. I think there's probably tape of us, you know,

606
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: audio of us on some show in early to mid October,

607
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: maybe late October saying ty Simpson is the best quarterback

608
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: in college football, or he should be the highst been

609
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: favorite or whatever, because through seven or.

610
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: Eight games he was.

611
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: Remember Alabama had the four game win streak against ranked opponents.

612
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 4: It was off the top of my head.

613
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: I don't remember in what order, but it was Georgia, Missouri, Vandy, Tennessee,

614
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: and Alabama was. I don't think they ever got to

615
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: number one because I think Ohio State basically took it

616
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: over after they beat Texas in Week one. But we

617
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: were talking about, like are they the best team in

618
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: the SEC? Are they the best team in college football?

619
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: My only complaint is that, like through eight games? Who cares?

620
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 3: Like, right, that's my points, Like, well, you actually can

621
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 3: go finish the season now, yeah, like what you're saying,

622
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: like you have complete what we said. We said at

623
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: the time when it was the most recent evidence. That's

624
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: what I don't come out and make the claim when

625
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 3: there's still five games left in the season, and we're

626
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: gonna see this playoff run that his team goes on.

627
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, here's the other thing, Like, oh, so,

628
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 4: let's just totally sensationalize the first two thirds of the

629
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 4: regular season, okay, and completely diminish all of the biggest

630
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 4: games at Fernando Mendoza.

631
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: Played exactly exactly oh after.

632
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: The first eight games. Sorry that the old Dominion tape

633
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: didn't look great. Oh, but he did go on to

634
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: beat oh, I don't know, Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon for

635
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: a second time in Miami, and so yeah, like I

636
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: don't know, man, It's just it'd be like it'd be

637
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: like after the season being like let's just say, and

638
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 2: this is like a terrible example, but like I don't know,

639
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: let's say, who wanted shake Guild of Alexander when MVP

640
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: last year. I can't remember, Okay, so it'd be like, oh,

641
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: you know, like this is after the season, Oh, shake.

642
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 4: Guild of Alexander. You know, I went through the first

643
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 4: I went through the first sixty percent of the season,

644
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 4: and I gotta say, Yo Kich was actually better. Well,

645
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 4: who cares, there's a whole season he won the MVP

646
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 4: based on the totality of the season. Then oh, by

647
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: the way he led his team to the NBA title,

648
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 4: And so it's just like, it's just a weird thing

649
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: to say, and I hadn't given it as much thought

650
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 4: until you just brought it up. But I think you're right, is.

651
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: That it feels like a thing to say to create

652
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 2: a narrative in a week when you needed narratives created

653
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 2: because there wasn't that much going on in the world

654
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 2: of sports. So like, yeah, I don't I don't know

655
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: what else there is to say about it, But that's

656
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: truly that's my thing.

657
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: It's just it's not a big deal. It's just irritating. Yah,

658
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: it's just kind of like, eh, you know what be

659
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: better than that?

660
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, through the part of the season when we all

661
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: thought Ty Simpson was awesome, he was awesome, And through

662
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: the part of the season when Fernando men established himself

663
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: as the Heisman favorite and the presumptive number one pick,

664
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: he wasn't great and got better.

665
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 3: Just that's like, that's the equivalent. I mean, this is

666
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: gonna it's basically the same thing. But just like that's

667
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 3: the equivalent to saying, man, you know what Week six,

668
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 3: Week seven, Baker Mayfield look better than Matthew Stafford, Like, yes,

669
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 3: yes he did. But there's this, there's a whole nother

670
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 3: point to this that needs to be mentioned.

671
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: That's a that's a better analogy.

672
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: The MVP is handed out, Matthew Stafford wins it, and

673
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: it's like, well, you know, I'm going back and watch

674
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: the tape and really, if if we're really focused on

675
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 2: like those first six weeks of the season, I mean,

676
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield was just better. Who cares, it doesn't matter anyway, Yes, anyway,

677
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio air towards Jason Martin. We are broadcasting

678
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 2: live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Another quarterback who

679
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 2: when he watched the tape you certainly see some things.

680
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: Drew Rowler, he was, he was not in pats, not

681
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: against the defense. He looked awesome today and but will

682
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: it actually mean anything the next time he's actually on

683
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: the football field.

684
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,640

Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.

691
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: Combine going on.

692
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know if you have any

693
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: takes on this, Jmark, but Taylangreen from Arkansas Ye setting

694
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: the forty record and vertical leap record for a quarterback

695
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 2: at the Combine. Social boy, dude, I'll say this, there's

696
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: probably a tweet out there somewhere of me saying Taylor

697
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: Green will be a first round pick from like September.

698
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: Here's the thing about Tail and Green. If you take

699
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 4: out everything, if you if you take out having to

700
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: make plays.

701
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 2: In big moments when the game matters, he checks every box.

702
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: Nobody is better in a zero zero game. Nobody is

703
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: better down forty one to three after you've already thrown

704
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 2: three picks, and nobody is better, you know, in the

705
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 2: rare circumstance when you're up. The problem is in the

706
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: fourth quarter when you need a play. There is also

707
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 2: no one that is less reliable than Taylor I mean

708
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: he is. He's the guy that, like the fake NFL

709
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: draft experts that all become experts in April and in March,

710
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna You're gonna see people I guarantee you. Within

711
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: the next month, you'll see people be like, you know,

712
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: I really think there's an our tailing green.

713
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 4: How high should he go?

714
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: And then it's like, okay, so you clearly haven't watched

715
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: full games because he makes the most backbreaking plays at

716
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 2: the worst possible moments. Arkansas finished two to ten, zero

717
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 2: to eight in the SEC. And I'll be quick on this,

718
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: but here are some of the final results of their

719
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: season this past year. This is the Arkansas Razorbacks. They

720
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: lost by checks notes it wasn't all his fault, but

721
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: six to Doer Miss, one to Memphis, three to Tennessee,

722
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: three to Texas A and M three to Mississippi State,

723
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: one to LSU. And they did lose the final two

724
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 2: in blow out fashion. But the point I'm trying to

725
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 2: make you don't lose all of those close games if

726
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: you're a legitimate quarterback that can make plays late. I

727
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,959
Speaker 2: don't even know where I'm going with this, but.

728
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,479
Speaker 3: That's kind of who he is. Well, I mean, look,

729
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 3: it's a boom or Bus situation. I mean, he's gonna

730
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 3: do some really good things. He's gonna do some When

731
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: you say backbreaking, it's just like, yeah, you don't want

732
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 3: to run that like, that's not what you one as

733
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 3: a fan is to have to roll like that, Like

734
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 3: we can't have the rolling hills workout be basically our

735
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: existence as a fan base. At that position, decision making

736
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 3: is just it's way too important. It's absolutely critical. It

737
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 3: doesn't matter how much talent you have. If you also

738
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 3: have a talent at making bad choices on the field

739
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: with the football, that's not somebody it's gonna last.

740
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 4: Let me put it this way.

741
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: If you are a quarterback that has the physical capability

742
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: of setting the combine record for forty yard dash and

743
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: vertical leap, and no one has talked about you as

744
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: a first round pick, that's not by accident.

745
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 4: Let me put it that way.

746
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 3: So some people will get this out there. But back

747
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: in the day, back before, there were way too many

748
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 3: statistics in the college football video game. And now I'm

749
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 3: just kind of out on it.

750
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 4: J Locker, No.

751
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 3: I was going to suggest that there was a statistic

752
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 3: back in the day, like you'd see like a four

753
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 3: star athlete, and so you're going to recruit this four

754
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 3: star athlete and you see his speed and stuff and

755
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: everything's just off the charts. You just like salivating over

756
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 3: what you could do with this video game character as

757
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: a freshman on your team. And then you look at

758
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: his awareness and on a scale to one hundred, the

759
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: awareness is like twenty. So it's like he's basically just

760
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 3: turning and throwing the football backwards as a quarterback because

761
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: he's just his awareness is not what it needs to be.

762
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 3: Let's just leave it at that. That's kind of how

763
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 3: this feels. Like he has all these measurables that are

764
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: just off the charts, but he also looks at the

765
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 3: football from time to time and he's just like, what

766
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: is this. I don't think I've ever seen one of

767
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: these before. That's when you were describing it, that's what

768
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 3: came to mind.

769
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 2: Sixty percent completion percentage, eleven interceptions. I can't find fumbles unfortunately,

770
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: very easily. But that is the Tailing Green experience. So

771
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: for people who just tune into the and said.

772
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 4: I want that guy.

773
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: And and here's the other thing too, Bobby Patrino was

774
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 2: his oc for the last two years. It's not like,

775
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, oh, just wait till he gets to the

776
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 2: NFL and he has competent coaching, Like Bobby Patrino knows

777
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: what he's doing calling plays, and so that is the

778
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: tailing green story.

779
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 4: Risk it at your own risk.

780
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Air towards Jason Martin, broadcasting live from

Speaker 2: combined later in the show. But when we come back,

783
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 2: we have to talk about the feel good story that

784
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: all of a sudden wasn't Team USA Hockey. We will

785
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: discuss that next Fox Sports Radio. Welcome in everybody, hour

788
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 2: It is March on the East coast. Some say March

789
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 2: is the best month on the sports calendar. We will

790
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: have not only the NCAA Tournament, World Baseball Classic, obviously

791
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: the NBA and NFL playoff pushes will begin. So it's

792
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 2: gonna be a fun month of March. Still February on

793
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 2: the Central East, Central Mountain and Pacific time zones, but

794
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 2: it is March on the East coast. J mart I

795
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: want to switch gears. So we got off air on

796
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 2: Saturday and it was funny. You me and Di Sega

797
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 2: kind of talked about, Hey, you know, Team USA Hockey

798
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 2: I think it was a what was.

799
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 3: It eighty eastern?

800
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: I believe was the puck drop, which means you know

801
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: five Pacific and you know Disaga, and now we're talking

802
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: about on the West coast to your DVR at whatever.

803
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 4: I will say that. So I woke up seven.

804
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 2: Thirty Pacific time, ten thirty eastern, literally as the game

805
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 2: was going into overtime, and so I get up, put

806
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: on the coffee. My wife was actually with me last weekend,

807
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: and so I put on the coffee, turned on the TV.

808
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 4: And I am not kidding.

809
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: Within probably ninety seconds of me turning on the TV,

810
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: goal USA wins, this incredible moment the Jack Hughes interview

811
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 2: missing a tooth.

812
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 4: And I will say this Arnie Spannier.

813
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: I filled in with Arnie last Sunday for Chris Plank,

814
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: and we spent basically about three hours just being patriotic

815
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: Americans USA USA, And at that point there was really

816
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 2: no negativity.

817
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 4: To the story at all.

818
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 3: Still shouldn't be.

819
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 2: Well, And that's where I was gonna get to. We

820
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: know what has happened since the players one took a

821
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: phone call from the President.

822
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 3: How dare they let me set it up?

823
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 4: Let me set it up for America.

824
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just I'm the Peanut Gallery, the bat. I'm

825
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: not stopping it. I'm just some of it is infuriating.

826
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 3: Took a phone call from the presis I'm gonna back

827
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 3: away from the microphone.

828
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 4: No, that's okay. Director of the FBI in the locker

829
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 4: room having a beer. Let's see.

830
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: The President did say, I guess we're gonna have to

831
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 2: invite the women to the White House in a very

832
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 2: sarcastic tone. Most of the team did go to the

833
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: White House for the State of the Union address. And so,

834
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: based on what the Peanut Gallery just told me, did

835
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 2: you have any fundamental issue with any of it? But

836
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: you know what, even before you know what, this is

837
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 2: probably the follow up question, but I'm just gonna lead

838
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 2: with this because I'm actually fascinated by this. Do you

839
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 2: think that it was actually a controversy or do you

840
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: think it was one of those made up things where

841
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: like a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage was actually mad. But

842
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 2: the tiny tiny percentage is so vocal that it became

843
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 2: a thing. So I'm gonna before I throw it to you,

844
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you an example. So that's what was

845
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 2: it six months or so ago, we had the quote

846
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 2: unquote Sydney Sweeney controversy. Yes, I and I was watching

847
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 2: it in real time. This was when she said I

848
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 2: have good jeans and she's a beautiful girl and she's.

849
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 4: Wearing jeans and whatever campaign.

850
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 2: Yes, And I was kind of in the other room

851
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 2: and I heard on ABC like the Sydney Sweeney controversy

852
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 2: takes a new twist. And then like three days later,

853
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: like I asked my mom about I'm like, did you

854
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 2: see this story? She's like, no, I have no idea

855
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 2: what you're talking about. And I realized, I'm like, this

856
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 2: isn't a controversy. It's a made up thing that I

857
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: think like literally one percent of people maybe less actually

858
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: cared about. But they were so vocal, and unfortunately their

859
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: views aligned with many powerful voices in the media where

860
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: it became a thing. So I guess I would start

861
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 2: by asking you that do you think this was actually

862
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 2: a genuine controversy or do you think it was a

863
00:44:55,640 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 2: very small percentage of people that their voice gets so

864
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: loud it was amplified.

865
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 4: What do you think of that theory?

866
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 3: So there were two incidents last week that should not

867
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 3: have been controversy in war at least by definition, right,

868
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 3: because I'm going to answer your question. One of them

869
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 3: was the hockey and the other is what took place

870
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 3: at the BAFTO Awards with John Davidson, whose story was

871
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 3: up his documentary was up at the BAFTAs, and so

872
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 3: he was there and he suffers from Touret's syndrome. Oh yes,

873
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 3: so you know this story. Most people know this story

874
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 3: as well after the fact, most people that understand Turets

875
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 3: and understand how it works, especially this version of Turets.

876
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 3: You know, you just there's nothing you can do in

877
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 3: this case. He was ashamed and so upset, and he

878
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 3: like left immediately after it happened, after he used the

879
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 3: words that he didn't want to use with del Roy

880
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 3: Lindo and Michael B. Jordan up there. But then there

881
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 3: were a few people to handwring and who were just

882
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 3: like he should. It was in his heart that you

883
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 3: only say things that are in your heart, and that's

884
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 3: just not true, like medically, that is not true when

885
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 3: it comes to Turett's syndrome and all this other stuff.

886
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 3: This right here, I think this was just a litmus

887
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 3: test for who is going to virtue signal at every

888
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 3: possible opportunity, and that's what this was. This was an

889
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 3: opportunity to be upset over nothing. There was no real

890
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: controversy to be had here, was there, Like the joke

891
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: at the women's expense or whatever? Like can can anybody

892
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 3: laugh anymore? Was that supposed to be like some major

893
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 3: disrespectful moment? And then the hockey players, how dare they

894
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 3: show up for the State of the Union? How dare

895
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 3: they answer when the President of the United States calls

896
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 3: and let's be real, they just won the gold I

897
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 3: don't think they were sober, so they're laughing, they're having

898
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 3: a good time. And then that because it comes a

899
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 3: moment for I mean, are there more miserable people in

900
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 3: the world than Jamel Hill and those that immediately want

901
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 3: to go to how could you be in like the

902
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 3: Huffington Post coming out and saying if you're kind of

903
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: uncomfortable rooting for America right now, you're not alone and

904
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 3: all this stuff. It's just shut up, like just just

905
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 3: go on like that right there, to me is the

906
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: most illegitimate, like non genuine thing in the world. It's

907
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 3: just let's create something out of nothing. And to your point, yeah,

908
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 3: it is a very very small group of opportunists who

909
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 3: I guess have just been corrupted and poisoned by ideology.

910
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: Now, and that's what I was gonna say, is you

911
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: said something to the effect of the miserable people that

912
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 2: and I was just going to finish the sentence by saying, like,

913
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: the miserable people that can't even celebrate a moment right

914
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: that should unite everyone.

915
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, like, all right, so

916
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 3: most people probably know you know where I am politically,

917
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 3: but let's say Obama's in the White House and the

918
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 3: same thing happens. We're still chanting USA, folks. We're still

919
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 3: out there wearing red, white and blue, putting the flags

920
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 3: in the front yard. All this. There was a time

921
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 3: when we were just happy to be, you know, residents

922
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 3: and citizens of this country, regardless of who was in

923
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: the White House, because the country is more than that individual.

924
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 3: You're telling me you can't root for the country if

925
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 3: your god loses. That's a real sad state of affairs.

926
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 3: And I think that says more about you than it

927
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 3: does the person.

928
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 2: You don't like that, And that's that's my biggest thing,

929
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 2: is that like, and it's just I don't mean to

930
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 2: be negative, it's midnight Eastern. You know, this is a

931
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: fun timeslot. We should be having fun. But like, if

932
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 2: you can't just celebrate your country in a moment like that,

933
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 2: you know to say, and already and now we're talking

934
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: about it last last week, we're talking about how it's

935
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: probably gonna go down as one of the most watched

936
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 2: non football events.

937
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 3: Of the year.

938
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: I think it was about thirty million people it peaked

939
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 2: at on a Sunday morning. And I just bring it

940
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 2: up because that is such a moment where it is

941
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 2: so easy to just put politics aside. And then what

942
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 2: I would also say on top of that, and I

943
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 2: know this is supposed to be like I don't understand

944
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 2: anybody who cannot acknowledge that.

945
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 4: One First of all, two things.

946
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: One the notion that the president of the United States

947
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 2: and our prominent politicians should stay out of that, because

948
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 2: that was another thing that I heard, is that he's

949
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: taking away from their moment.

950
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, and it ever has been before. One,

951
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 4: it never has been before.

952
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: And two if he didn't call, then the same people

953
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: who are complaining about the call would say, oh, he

954
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 2: didn't call it. The country doesn't care about the country

955
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 2: exactly right. And then two, the more frustrating part was

956
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: you mentioned President Obama, you mentioned whoever.

957
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, doesn't matter.

958
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: President Obama was in the postgame locker room for what

959
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: of the gold medals for Team USA basketball. There are

960
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 2: all sorts of pictures of him with Lebron James and whatever,

961
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: and good for President Obama. Sure he loves basketball, he

962
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 2: supported his country, he supported his fellow citizens.

963
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 4: It's no different whatever.

964
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 2: And so that, to me is the frustrating part, is

965
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: that we can't put politics aside. And then I think

966
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 2: the other thing that drives me crazy is the notion

967
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: that someone invites you to the White House yep, and

968
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: the presumption is that you're supposed to say no, no,

969
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 2: The presumption is listen. I don't know if this is

970
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 2: if this is just gonna be the way that it

971
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 2: is going forward. If just the side that you didn't

972
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 2: vote for just expects you to just.

973
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 3: And it has been for a while, that's not new.

974
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 3: That's why I have That's why I have campaigned on

975
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 3: this show, on my own show when I was doing

976
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 3: the solo thing. I've done this everywhere I've been. The

977
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 3: White House visits need to be a thing of the

978
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 3: past because they because they've become a place where people

979
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 3: that otherwise don't want to take a stand have to like,

980
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 3: if you go, you shouldn't have gone. According to some people,

981
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 3: if you don't go, you should have gone. As opposed

982
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 3: to some people, It's like there are a lot of

983
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 3: athletes that get caught in the middle that don't really

984
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 3: want you to know how they feel because honestly, it's

985
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: none of your business what their politics are unless they

986
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 3: want to bring that into the arena. But now all

987
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 3: of a sudden it becomes a litmus test because oh, well,

988
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 3: if he's going to accept this, then all like, that's

989
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 3: the kind of thing that we just flat out don't

990
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 3: need you well, And the other thing I was gonna

991
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 3: say was is that the notion that just because you

992
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 3: went means that you lean a certain way or you

993
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 3: voted a certain core is preposterous as well. And that

994
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 3: is one place that I will disagree with you, is

995
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 3: that I don't think it should be a thing of

996
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 3: the past. And I think because we live, in my opinion,

997
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 3: the greatest country in the world, you should have every

998
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 3: right to say I don't want to go to the

999
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 3: White House for whatever.

1000
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 4: Reason that you choose.

1001
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 2: But I also think that anyone who chooses to go

1002
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 2: to the place where the most powerful person in the

1003
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 2: free world lives has the right to do that. So,

1004
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 2: you know, let's take an example. Last year, Philadelphia Eagles

1005
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl. Some guys decide to go. I

1006
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 2: don't remember exactly who, but I remember vividly Jalen Hurts

1007
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 2: decided not to. I don't remember myself coming on these airwaves,

1008
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: you coming on these airwaves, and I don't remember it

1009
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 2: being much of a controversy that was Jalen Hurts, for

1010
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 2: whatever reason, decided that he didn't think that it was

1011
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 2: in his best office to do it, and that was fine,

1012
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 2: But don't take away the opportunity from the guys that

1013
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 2: do want want to go.

1014
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 4: And I will.

1015
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 2: Never blame any athlete for having the invite to go

1016
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: after a gold medal or a Super Bowl or a

1017
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 2: World Series or whatever and taking advantage of that opportunity.

1018
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, so yeah, I mean, it's it's just sad

1019
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 3: that we couldn't just have the event, that it had

1020
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 3: to become something for some people that just want to

1021
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 3: be opportunists in this moment, there's just there's no reason

1022
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 3: to do it. And again, if that's the way you

1023
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 3: live your life, that you are just incapable of doing

1024
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 3: anything but trying to find an angle like that in

1025
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 3: absolutely everything, how do you have time to do anything else,

1026
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 3: like enjoy your life in any capacity? Like it's a poison?

1027
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 3: It truly is.

1028
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 4: It is Team USA. Congratulations.

1029
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 2: Yes, And I will make a solemn promise as long

1030
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 2: as I am a host on Fox Sports Radio, and

1031
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 2: I hope to be doing this show with you for

1032
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 2: a long time, Jamart, I will never, regardless of the athlete,

1033
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 2: criticize them for choosing to go to the White House.

1034
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm never gonna criticize anybody for not

1035
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: choosing to go to the White House. I personally disagree

1036
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 2: with it, but I will never criticize. And oh, by

1037
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 2: the way, never going to criticize a president a vice

1038
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 2: president for supporting their fellow citizens. And oh, by the way,

1039
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 2: because we didn't really get to it, I actually thought

1040
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 2: the most overblown story was Cash Bettel, the FBI director,

1041
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: having a beer in the locker room.

1042
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 8: One.

1043
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: I didn't even know he was this like recreational hockey player,

1044
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 2: and then that was another thing. And I'm sorry now

1045
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 2: I'm just rambling, and half of our audience hates our guts.

1046
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 2: But I you know, you know, then it became a well,

1047
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's a really bad recreational hockey player,

1048
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: and you know he plays in this league, and it's

1049
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 2: a thing because like I, you know, I saw I

1050
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 2: didn't you know again, I tried to avoid as much

1051
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 2: of this as possible and just enjoy the moment, but

1052
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 2: I saw some people like he actually spends too much

1053
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 2: time playing recreational hockey and not enough time focused on

1054
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 2: the job. It's like, is he supposed to have his

1055
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 2: head in a you know, a binder full of notes

1056
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 2: twenty four hours a day. The man wants to play

1057
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 2: hockey for three hours on a Sunday. I'm not gonna

1058
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 2: get mad. And I couldn't have been any less mad

1059
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 2: that he was having a beer with Team USA. I

1060
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 2: don't care that it was on taxpayer dollars that he

1061
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 2: was there. I do not care. And what was the

1062
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 2: last thing I was gonna say, Oh, yeah, I don't.

1063
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 2: I don't care. I just I don't. And I thought

1064
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 2: it was an awesome moment and the oh, this is

1065
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 2: what I was just saying. The players didn't seem to care, So.

1066
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 4: The players don't care. I don't care.

1067
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 2: Go have another one cash Battel. If that pisses off

1068
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 2: the audience, I'm sorry, so be.

1069
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 3: I have nothing to add. You're one hundred percent right.

1070
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 4: Go drink a beer. Cash Battel. All right.

1106
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 2: we spent about twenty minutes talking about the I think

1107
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 2: it's mostly a non controversy of a largely fabricated controversy

1108
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 2: around team Fabricated.

1109
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 3: It's the right word. It's not a non controversy only

1110
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 3: because some people fabricated it into something. But the vast

1111
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 3: and by vast. I mean, like, well, over ninety five

1112
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 3: percent of the country doesn't know that there actually is

1113
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 3: a controversy. The other five percent or just allowed to

1114
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 3: have social media accounts bingo.

1115
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,680

1124
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 7: kind in this country since the twenty ten Olympic Final, which.

1125
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 4: Was the US with NHL players right.

1126
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,120

Speaker 7: Since twenty ten, the largest audience had been when it

1131
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,600

Speaker 7: total players were invited to Indy. By the way, the

1175
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 7: NFL's free agency period starts March the eleventh. For some

1176
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 7: time zones, it is March already. University of Colorado football

1177
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 7: assistant Warren Sapp resigned. Spring practice starts on Monday. And

1178
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 7: by the way, I noticed this item on the Yukon

1179
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 7: basketball game today this week, I should say because today

1180
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 7: Yukon at home did beat Seaton Hall seventy one sixty seven,

1181
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 7: and Saint John's meanwhile tonight was impressive in its victory.

1182
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 7: But those two schools met in Hartford this week, and

1183
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 7: Connecticut wiped the floor with Saint John's seventy two forty

1184
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 7: in a blowout on Wednesday night, and Saint John's had

1185
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,959
Speaker 7: won thirteen in a row but rank fifteenth this week.

1186
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 7: The Red Storm won tonight against Villanova eighty nine fifty seven,

1187
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 7: a Villanova team that had been thirteen and four in

1188
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 7: the Big East. Statsink says in this Setseuri Saint John's

1189
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 7: now the only Division One hoops team to one game

1190
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 7: shoot under twenty percent and lose by thirty or more,

1191
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 7: and then the very next game, shoot at least fifty

1192
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 7: percent and win by thirty or more.

1193
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 2: Back to you, some stunning stats out of that Yukon

1194
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: Saint John's game, by the way, lowest point total of

1195
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 2: Rick Patino's college coaching career, which dates back to nineteen

1196
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 2: eighty one. Did you see oh for twenty four to

1197
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 2: end the game? I have never seen that before.

1198
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 7: Miss twelve straight during the first half.

1199
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, no, I've never seen anything like that, and I.

1200
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 7: Was it was like that James Harden playoff game years ago.

1201
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 7: Oh God, nobody could hit the broad side of a barn.

1202
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 7: Except this wasn't three pointed tips. This was literally any

1203
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 7: shot on the court for Saint John's their last twenty

1204
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 7: four they missed.

1205
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 2: Fun Yukon Twitter debate what was more impressive a thirty

1206
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: oh run for Yukon against Illinois in the twenty twenty

1207
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 2: four Elite eight or holding Saint John's to oh of

1208
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four from the field to end the game. Well,

1209
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 2: March Madness, I went with oh for twenty four because

1210
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 2: it's like you didn't have one defensive breakdown.

1211
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 4: In you know what put back one.

1212
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, but the counter, which I think is probably

1213
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 2: the right one. To go on a thirty zero run,

1214
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 2: you have to be great on both offense and defense,

1215
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 2: so it's hard to argue with that.

1216
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 7: The Yukon starters outscored the Saint Johns starters sixty one

1217
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 7: to twenty eight for the game.

1218
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 4: There was a great line.

1219
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 2: By the way, then, I promise we'll get to Floyd

1220
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Mayweather Zubi edge of four, who's probably gonna be Big

1221
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 2: East Player of the year.

1222
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 4: Tonight.

1223
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 2: He I think had a triple double against Villanova, and

1224
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Patino says, well, he should have been well rested since

1225
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 2: he took the game off against Yuka.

1226
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 7: The other here it is triple double with only two

1227
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 7: turnovers for Saint John's tonight.

1228
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was Zubi edge of four.

1229
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll say, by the way, Saint John's would

1230
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 2: get the number one seed if both teams went out

1231
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 2: they are both eighth, they'll be eighteen and twelve the East.

1232
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1233
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 7: Uh, and still a week left in the Big East.

1234
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 7: I know West Coast Conference is ending tonight, but.

1235
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 4: Correct, yes, you cut has one regular season game left

1236
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 4: Saint John's too, all right, let's switch gears. Uh, let's talk.

1237
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Jmart So No, I mean, so, Floyd Mayweather's

1238
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 2: coming back to the ring. It's a guy who, you know,

1239
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 2: basically made close to a billion dollars in career earnings,

1240
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 2: and it feels like it feels pretty obvious. So throughout

1241
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 2: his career.

1242
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 4: He's estimated to may have to have made over a

1243
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 4: billion dollars.

1244
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 2: He retired, he's coming back, and it feels as though

1245
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 2: it's it's strictly because of money. And by the way,

1246
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 2: he's coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao, who pretty much

1247
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 2: probably has some money issues as well. I'll note this,

1248
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 2: by the way, I was in Vegas the weekend of

1249
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 2: the first Mayweather Pacquiao fight. Awesome weekend of being Vegas,

1250
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 2: terrible fight that no one was clamoring for a rematch for.

1251
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 2: Let alone, no one clamoring for a rematch for when

1252
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 2: Floyd Mayweather will be at that point forty nine years

1253
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 2: old and Manny Pacquiao right now as he gets set

1254
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 2: for a fight, will be forty eight. You're forty seven

1255
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 2: going on forty eight. So essentially, two guys in their

1256
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 2: late forties, they both need money all time greats but

1257
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 2: we're getting it September Netflix. You and I will be

1258
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 2: on air, so I'm sure we'll be monitoring it. I'll

1259
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 2: be honest, I could not have any less interest in

1260
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 2: this fight. I have actually a completely different take, but

1261
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,919
Speaker 2: I am so uninterested in this fight. I actually think

1262
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 2: it's sad. What do you make of Paqiao Mayweather Part two?

1263
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sad the amount of money that these two

1264
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 3: guys have both made. But if we want to speak

1265
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 3: to Mayweather first, the amount of money and the brand

1266
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 3: that all that Floyd has done, and the level of

1267
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 3: fighter he was, particularly as just a defensive fighter that

1268
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 3: just made you hit air forever. Just how talented he was,

1269
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 3: what a star he was, all those things, but he

1270
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 3: can't just go away quietly like how much money. This

1271
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 3: is what proves that money doesn't buy happiness, because with

1272
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 3: all of that money, you could just go disappear and

1273
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 3: be happy somewhere. You could do whatever you wanted, you

1274
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 3: could buy whatever you wanted, you could you know whatever,

1275
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 3: spend time with whoever you wanted, all those other kinds

1276
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 3: of things. But no, we're gonna come back and we're

1277
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 3: going to do a fight to make some more money.

1278
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 3: That we probably can't spend, and we're gonna do it

1279
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 3: when when our skills are reduced, when we haven't been

1280
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 3: heard from in years. All of it's just sad, I think,

1281
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 3: is the right word for it. Like I couldn't possibly

1282
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 3: care less. We certainly because it will be on while

1283
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 3: we're on, like you said, we will be keeping tabs

1284
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 3: on it. But like, there is absolutely nothing about this

1285
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 3: that is interesting. I don't care what anybody has to

1286
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 3: say about it. I'm not interested in the press conferences.

1287
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 3: I'm not interested in any of the hype that they're

1288
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 3: going to try to generate for this thing. It's just

1289
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 3: a made for television event that is just there's no

1290
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 3: reason to watch two fossils do this. It's very very

1291
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 3: it's just kind of gross because it's just like there's

1292
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 3: no reason for either one of them to not be

1293
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 3: in a position to just go on with the rest

1294
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 3: of their life. And it's like, what is the thing

1295
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 3: that's driving you? Is it just that you have to

1296
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 3: get more money or is it spotlight? What is the

1297
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 3: thing that is your idol that you cannot back away from?

1298
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 3: Because this is sad, like neither one. This is not

1299
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 3: how we want to remember either one of these guys

1300
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 3: at all, and the lasting impression is going to be

1301
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,439
Speaker 3: whatever it is that they bring in this fight, which

1302
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 3: is not going to be entertaining.

1303
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I think what makes it pretty extra

1304
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 2: sad is that it feels pretty obvious that basically Floyd

1305
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 2: Mayweather is doing this because he needs money. And I'm

1306
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 2: sure it's much the same with with Manny Pacquiao. And

1307
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,640
Speaker 2: you know, I think there's conversations about Listen, I'm not

1308
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 2: going to try to be a you know, addiction expert,

1309
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 2: but you know probably has a gambling problem.

1310
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 3: I will such gambling could you do well?

1311
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 2: I mean, here's the thing when you're posting receipts of Hey,

1312
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 2: I won this much money and I bet five hundred thought,

1313
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 2: you know, I want one point two million to you know,

1314
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 2: off this five hundred thousand dollars bet, Well, guess guess

1315
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 2: how many of those you probably have lost that we

1316
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 2: have not seen. But no, I so I agree with

1317
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 2: everything you said. I want to kind of take it

1318
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 2: in a different direction because I don't think there's much

1319
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: to add about two sad old guys fighting that if

1320
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 2: I was not on air and America is not relying

1321
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 2: on us to you know, be monitoring it like I

1322
01:08:57,880 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 2: I like, I'm telling you more.

1323
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this one quick thing. This maybe is

1324
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 3: just a levity. But if they wear like white sleeveless

1325
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 3: shirts and slacks and fight like they really are two

1326
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 3: old men, Oh yeah, that would actually be entertained, like

1327
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 3: you know, guys from like the twenties and thirties, like

1328
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 3: Cinderella man out here, but like nothing boxing at all.

1329
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,799
Speaker 3: It's just like two dudes outside of a diner fighting

1330
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 3: over the last good cup of coffee.

1331
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 2: Yeah so no, so I I uh, dude, it's just

1332
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 2: it's sad. Let me ask you this, let me switch gears,

1333
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 2: because I think this is kind of an interesting byproduct

1334
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 2: of this whole situation, is what does it.

1335
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:40,560
Speaker 4: Say about boxing?

1336
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 2: Because I was thinking about this, it feels like boxing

1337
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 2: is Jake Paul fighting random dudes and old guys fighting

1338
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 2: each other, And is there a you know, I guess

1339
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 2: Terrence Bud Crawford is probably the obvious one, maybe Canelo,

1340
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 2: but even Canelo's like on the fairy tale end of

1341
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 2: his career. Canello is currently as we record here, I

1342
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 2: guess he's only thirty five years old. He's younger than

1343
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 2: I thought he was. But it's like, there are no

1344
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 2: superstars in this sport, and it's I guess the point

1345
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to make is like, not only are there

1346
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 2: are no stars, they haven't been able to create any

1347
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 2: stars that people care about. And so we're going with

1348
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,600
Speaker 2: the nostalgia, if you want to call it that. But

1349
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,839
Speaker 2: you know, the fights that people seem to be interested

1350
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,560
Speaker 2: in are sad.

1351
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 4: Old guy fights.

1352
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 2: Like and by the way, I'll readily admit I did

1353
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 2: watch the you know, the Jake Paul Mike Tyson thing

1354
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 2: was actually very similar to this.

1355
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 4: Like, I didn't care about it.

1356
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be a bad watch, and

1357
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 2: then literally everyone in my orbit was like, are you

1358
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 2: gonna be watching this? And so I was like, maybe

1359
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 2: I'll watch it, And it was the sad, pathetic thing

1360
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 2: that I thought it was. This is probably gonna be

1361
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 2: the same. What does it say about boxing that they

1362
01:10:56,439 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 2: literally cannot create compelling fights amongst guys that are in

1363
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 2: their prime.

1364
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

1365
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 2: It feels like a statement on boxing as much as

1366
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 2: anything that this will probably be the most typed anticipated

1367
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 2: fight of the of the year.

1368
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean boxing has gone from being legitimate to

1369
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 3: and like something to take seriously to a comedy show,

1370
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 3: a variety show, like celebrity deathmatch. Like we're kind of

1371
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 3: in an arena of parody and satire when it comes

1372
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 3: to boxing, and that's a sad state of affairs, Like

1373
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 3: there are a lot of guys out there that can fight,

1374
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 3: but we don't know who they are. The sport doesn't

1375
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 3: market them, doesn't know how to market them. So it's

1376
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 3: about guys from the past, or guys to have salacious

1377
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 3: pass or guys that really aren't professionals that pick their

1378
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 3: fights against nobody's and all this other kind of it's

1379
01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 3: like it's everything but a sport. At this point, it

1380
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 3: is very much just it's like it's like the difference

1381
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 3: between somebody that writes an actual novel and somebody that

1382
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 3: writes for a tabloid magazine. It's just there's nothing, there's

1383
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 3: nothing really to grab onto there outside of like the

1384
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 3: lowest common denominator stuff again, like the stuff you used

1385
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 3: to pick up at the checkout counter at Walmart or

1386
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 3: Target or whatever like that, and you still see them

1387
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 3: and now you just roll your eyes at them, hopefully.

1388
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 3: But there are people that you know live and die

1389
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 3: by all of that kind of stuff, Like that's the

1390
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 3: kind of stuff we're talking about here, and that's the

1391
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 3: shame because that's not what boxing should be.

1392
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 2: Really quickly, one note from college basketball. In what will

1393
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: be maybe the final time of Jason Martin's favorite college

1394
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 2: basketball rivalry, Saint Mary's, Saint Mary's beats Gonzaga seventy to

1395
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 2: fifty nine. They're going to play tomorrow, well, they they'll

1396
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 2: probably play in the conference championship, get like ten days,

1397
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 2: but Gonzaga is leaving for the new look PAC twelve.

1398
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 2: So we talked about this a few weeks ago. Saint

1399
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 2: Mary's Gonzaga, they have played out. It's it's the last

1400
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,639
Speaker 2: whatever ten, twelve, fifteen years. I don't know the exact

1401
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 2: number of years, but they have played more than any

1402
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 2: other two teams.

1403
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 4: And it's because they're by far the two best teams.

1404
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 2: And so it's basically guaranteed that they're gonna play twice

1405
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,919
Speaker 2: a year in the regular season plus in the conference tournament.

1406
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 2: But Saint Mary's does get the last left number nine.

1407
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 2: Gonzaga does go down still two games on. By the way,

1408
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 2: UNLV over Nevada in overtime, they are ahead seventy seven

1409
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 2: to seventy four.

1410
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 4: So it's still going on. I know I said it's over,

1411
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 4: but it's not over.

1412
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 2: In overtime Nevada up seventy seven to seventy or UNLV

1413
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 2: up seventy seven to seventy four on Nevada, and in

1414
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 2: Irvine you see Irvine up sixty one point fifty seven

1415
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 2: with twenty five seconds left. I was getting a little

1416
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 2: sad jmart because we had four screens going on here

1417
01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 2: in the studio. I think it's the last time we

1418
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 2: get four screens of live action here for the very

1419
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 2: foreseeable future, maybe until college football season, because you know

1420
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 2: the MLBC, you know the games end earlier and earlier

1421
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 2: with the pitch clock and everything, and it's gonna be

1422
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 2: the last time we have a four screen Saturday here

1423
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 2: for a while. But two college basketball games still going on.

1424
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 2: Number nine, Gonzaga did fall to Saint Mary's Fox Sports

1438
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 2: to the news desk. Steve Seger, tell us what's going

1439
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 2: on here at twelve forty nine Easter time.

1440
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 7: Two interesting items to get to, but as you mentioned,

1441
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 7: the late college hoops game has just finished and the

1442
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 7: regular season has finished. In the West Coast Conference, Saint

1443
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 7: Mary's longtime head coach Randy Bennett, in the last twenty

1444
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:23,719
Speaker 7: two seasons has now beaten Gonzaga eighteen times, including tonight

1445
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 7: seventy to fifty nine in the final. The rest of

1446
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 7: the conference has only twenty two wins in twenty two

1447
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 7: years against Gonzaga in that span. The late NHL game

1448
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 7: at Seattle went to the home team five to one

1449
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:41,560
Speaker 7: over Vancouver. Now today in sports history, generalmen, General gentlemen,

1450
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 7: the general manager of the Dodgers got faced with this

1451
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:50,679
Speaker 7: Sandy Kofex and Don Drysdale refused to report to Dodgers

1452
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 7: spring training because they were starting their joint holdout for

1453
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 7: new contracts. What what was they were asking for? A

1454
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 7: million dollars? Did not report to spring training nineteen sixty six,

1455
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 7: I should be specific. They were asking for a three

1456
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 7: year contract totaling one million dollars to be divided between

1457
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 7: the two of them. That was their outlandish request, these

1458
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 7: two future Hall of famers. I do very much remember

1459
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:23,719
Speaker 7: more than once actor director producer Ron Howard, who grew

1460
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 7: up a Dodger fan in La saying that moment was

1461
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:32,640
Speaker 7: the moment that he, as an actor realized exactly how

1462
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 7: much he was making. This was his interview on Late

1463
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 7: Night with David Letterman about it. I'll get the unmute.

1464
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,679
Speaker 4: Sandy actually made me, made me sad. I didn't feel

1465
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 4: like I possibly could deserve more than seen. Yeah, that

1466
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 4: must have been a staggering realization. You were in nineteen

1467
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 4: sixty five, you were what how I.

1468
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 3: Was eleven.

1469
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 4: Magan more than Sandy Kovac.

1470
01:16:58,280 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: I know, life is not.

1471
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,799
Speaker 7: That's true, Audi Andy Griffith show, the kid was actually

1472
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 7: making more than Don Drysdale or Sandy Kofax. By the way,

1473
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 7: Kofax wound up pitching in what was his final season

1474
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 7: that year, nineteen sixty six because his arm was falling off. Nonetheless,

1475
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 7: if you look it up, he not only had an

1476
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 7: ERA of one point seventy three, best in the league

1477
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:29,480
Speaker 7: for the season, he threw twenty seven complete games. Divisions

1478
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 7: don't throw twenty seven complete games in eight leagues. He

1479
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 7: had over three hundred innings pitched each of his last

1480
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 7: two years in the league. And yes, he won the

1481
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 7: Cy Young again for the third time in his final

1482
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 7: four seasons. And we do mention Oklahoma softball sometimes on

1483
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 7: weekends because our own Chris Playing, who co hosts with

1484
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,480
Speaker 7: Arnie on Sunday Night, is the voice of the Oklahoma

1485
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 7: Sooners who continue to dominate their game. Today at home,

1486
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:57,520
Speaker 7: they were up six' five in the third inning Against Alabama,

1487
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 7: state and Then oklahoma scored twenty one in the bottom

1488
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 7: of the, third including two grand slams in the same.

1489
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 7: Inning they finally just called the game in the fifth

1490
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 7: with a twenty nine to six final for The, sooners

1491
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 7: who are now eighteen and two and out of those

1492
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 7: twenty games in the season so, far more than half

1493
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,799
Speaker 7: of them have been called in the fifth inning because

1568
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 2: people from having all sorts of opinions on this. Team

1569
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 2: probably the most interesting One Kendrick, perkins who in one

1570
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 2: forty five second clip manage to THROW Jj reddick under the,

1573
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 2: mary you could play that.

1574
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 7: Sound it was.

1575
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 5: Very loud and looks J j got more excuses than

1576
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,639
Speaker 5: the brother going to. JAIL i don't want to hear

1577
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 5: that you got a nice time for you to coach

1578
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 5: get the attention of your locker. Room when you have

1579
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 5: one of the worst defensive teams in the, league that

1580
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 5: is a reflection on the. Coach but let me say

1581
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,719
Speaker 5: this for the overall pitcher number, one when it comes

1582
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 5: To lebron and The lakers, relationship that relationship is one

1583
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 5: foot on the grave and another on the banana.

1584
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 3: Pill number.

1585
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 5: Two when you look at The, Lakers i'm looking at

1586
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 5: the bigger. Picture since they always talking about the, Future

1587
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 5: are we sure That Austin reeves And Luka doncic can

1588
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 5: be your two max guys and you could build around

1589
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 5: those two guys to go win a.

1590
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 4: Championship that Was Kedrick perkins on first.

1591
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 2: Take admittedly that was late in the week before The

1592
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 2: lakers got the win over The Golden State warriors On.

1593
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 2: Saturday don't think it. Matters do you think we have

1594
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 2: entered the twenty twenty six. Version Jason martin of some

1595
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 2: part of of THE nba media's favorite, conversation why everything

1596
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 2: is everyone's fault except For, Lebron luca And Aliston reeves

1597
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 2: aren't max PLAYERS Jj. REDDICK i don't remember the exact,

1598
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 2: quote but making more excuses than a guy headed into,

1599
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 2: PRISON i think is essentially what he. Said none of

1600
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 2: It's lebron's, fault, THOUGH j, mart what do you make

1601
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 2: of The lakers going one in?

1602
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 4: Three just don't Blame?

1603
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 3: Lebron, well, again that team looked really good Before lebron

1604
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 3: came back from that. Injury we, said when it was

1605
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 3: Just luca And austin and those guys, playing that they

1606
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 3: seem to really enjoy playing. Together they were having fun out.

1607
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 3: There he saw guys smiling all sorts of things that

1608
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 3: we even, Said we're, like, well what happens When lebron comes,

1609
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 3: back because he's gonna wreck this. Chemistry it's the worst

1610
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 3: thing could. Happen and guess what he? Wrecked the. Chemistry

1611
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 3: chemistry Between lebron And luca is not. GOOD i think

1612
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 3: we could have guessed that from the, beginning at least

1613
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 3: pretty quickly, thereafter because even If lebron's skills have you

1614
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 3: roaded a little Bit he has also said and been

1615
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 3: quoted in the LAST i would say month and a

1616
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 3: half as saying that you know he'll step down when

1617
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 3: his skills are, receding but right now he's too busy

1618
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 3: kicking father. Times but and it's, like, man the cringe

1619
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 3: is strong with this. One but we already Knew luca

1620
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 3: wasn't a great, defender not even a good. Defender but

1621
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 3: we now, know and probably half of the last two

1622
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 3: or three, seasons That Lebron james is not a good defender,

1623
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 3: either because he doesn't do it. Consistently you can pretty

1624
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,759
Speaker 3: much take him if you want to take, him and

1625
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 3: if you want a, rebound you're likely to get one

1626
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 3: because he'll stand there and let you do. It he

1627
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 3: has to pick his spots because he's, older and he's

1628
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 3: going to do the things that are, flashier and he's

1629
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 3: going to play more. Offense but he's not as concerned

1630
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 3: with the details as he once. Was BUT i think

1631
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 3: the biggest thing is just, like this team is not a.

1632
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 3: CONTENDER i Know barkley said that on the air On Saturday,

1633
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 3: night and he's. Right we've said that. Already they felt

1634
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 3: like they were a contender before the. Injury or at

1635
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 3: least a team that nobody would want to. See but

1636
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 3: NOW i don't think anybody's particularly afraid of. Them Kendrick

1637
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 3: perkins question About luca And Austin. REEVES i don't. Know

1638
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 3: If Austin reeves is a number two on a championship,

1639
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 3: TEAM i really don't. LIKE i think you still have

1640
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 3: to have a lot of things around. It BUT i

1641
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 3: don't know that anybody is suggesting.

1642
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 2: That that's WHAT i was going to say is is

1643
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 2: Maybe i'm missing all of THE nba. DISCOURSE i think

1644
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 2: people are saying saying that because you, know If lebron

1645
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 2: hypothetically leaves this, offseason which you almost certainly, will you,

1646
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,600
Speaker 2: know that's kind of what you're stuck with in the.

1647
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 4: MOMENT i don't think it means it's what you're stuck

1648
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:49,600
Speaker 4: with in.

1649
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 2: Perpetuity if If Luka doncic is your number, ONE i

1650
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,600
Speaker 2: don't think you're stuck in perpetuity With Austin reeves as

1651
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 2: your number.

1652
01:26:57,040 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 3: Two, NO i don't. EITHER i MEAN i do think,

1653
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 3: that you, know there are times where dudes are seams of.

1654
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 3: All this a one to two, punch but it's more

1655
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 3: like a one to three. PUNCH i don't think we

1656
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 3: have all the evidence that we would need. There BUT i,

1657
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 3: MEAN i don't look At Austin reeves and see him

1658
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 3: as the number. Two BUT i think that's sort of

1659
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 3: a straw man LIKE i don't think that's the. Argument

1660
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 3: like you, SAID i don't think anybody is making that,

1661
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:22,639
Speaker 3: Argument So i'm not really sure that that holds much.

1662
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 3: Water but past everything, else it's just like you can

1663
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 3: blame everybody's got a little piece of the pie when

1664
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 3: teams aren't playing. Well it's not just one, person you,

1665
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 3: know it's all sorts of. Things it's, chemistry it's whether

1666
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:42,280
Speaker 3: or not this guy's facilitating particularly. Well it is a defensive.

1667
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 3: Thing who's shooting free throws all those, things, Turnovers And

1668
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 3: luca does look like he's tailed off a little and

1669
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 3: probably one of those, REASONS i don't think he's having

1670
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 3: fun anymore the way that he once. Was at the

1671
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 3: beginning of this. Season he might be wearing down a little.

1672
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 3: Bit maybe he's just going through a bit of a.

1673
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 3: Slump whatever it, is the problem is that in the

1674
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 3: universe That Lebron james has, cultivated that can't be a.

1675
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:08,640
Speaker 3: Thing it's not just a. Slump it's not just two

1676
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 3: three games where maybe he isn't playing his best or

1677
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 3: something like. That it's No lebron needs, help but he's

1678
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:16,639
Speaker 3: never had any. Help and this is why this team

1679
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 3: can't win because they're trying to build around somebody that's

1680
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 3: Not Lebron. James and the, biggest the biggest farce to,

1681
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 3: me and the thing where it completely falls apart and

1682
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 3: WHERE i just Need Lebron james to retire is the

1683
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 3: fact that his agent and Buddy Rich paul has a

1684
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 3: podcast With Max kellerman where they sit around and bury everybody.

1685
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 3: Else Max kellerman's up here Mocking Luka doncic for always

1686
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 3: complaining to the. Officials go on YouTube and search how

1687
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 3: many Times Lebron james has allowed somebody to grab a

1688
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 3: basketball and go to the other side, unimpeded basically because

1689
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:53,640
Speaker 3: he's too busy arguing about a. Call like there's a

1690
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 3: lot of dudes that argue about. Calls luca is one

1691
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 3: of the. Worst he has been for a long. Time

1692
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 3: but you are seeing there With Lebron james agent and

1693
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:07,680
Speaker 3: right hand, man and you are burying his, teammate and

1694
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 3: basically It's max that's doing, it And Rich paul is

1695
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,600
Speaker 3: just sitting back there, like oh, really it's just like,

1696
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 3: yeah the checks in the, Mail, Max, Like i'm gonna

1697
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 3: hand you this, envelope This manila, envelope whatever it, is

1698
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 3: right after we shut this podcast. Down because this thing

1699
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:28,759
Speaker 3: is the most, artificial non genuine conversation that one person

1700
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 3: could possibly. Have the optics are, bad but the biggest

1701
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 3: thing is it's all just a. Campaign it's The Lebron

1702
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 3: james campaign to be completely absolved of anything that could

1703
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 3: possibly be deemed. Negative all the, while we're also moving

1704
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 3: the goalposts so that we can try to create a

1705
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 3: narrative that Really Lebron james is the better player between

1706
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 3: himself And Michael, Jordan, like these are the things that

1707
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 3: he's concerned. About he didn't care about a championship this.

1708
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,360
Speaker 3: Year if he, did he would have made a lot

1709
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:01,920
Speaker 3: of different voices and he would have behaved in a

1710
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:04,759
Speaker 3: different fashion over the last couple of. Years that dude's

1711
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:07,599
Speaker 3: Not he doesn't care about winning. Championships he just cares

1712
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 3: about at this, point he cares about maximizing his own

1713
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 3: brand and doing whatever he can to go down as

1714
01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 3: the best basketball player that ever, lived and for with

1715
01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 3: every day that passes he gets further from that goal

1716
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 3: BECAUSE i think THAT i think that even a lot

1717
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 3: of his big fans are probably a little bit tired of.

1718
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 3: It but anybody that was like on the, FENCE i

1719
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 3: used to love Watching lebron play, BALL i don't have

1720
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 3: any interest in it anymore BECAUSE i JUST i see

1721
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 3: it for what it is at this, Point like that

1722
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,639
Speaker 3: meaningless triple. Double we talked about, that that meaningless triple

1723
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:42,600
Speaker 3: double he had before The All star break where he

1724
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 3: just kind of made sure he's where he was and

1725
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:47,799
Speaker 3: he went for that last rebound because he knew exactly

1726
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:49,600
Speaker 3: what he was trying to. Do the oldest person of

1727
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 3: the triple double and all these other. Things it's all

1728
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:55,720
Speaker 3: about just adding to his own legacy at the expense

1729
01:30:56,320 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 3: of his, teammates his team, chemistry the owners of The,

1730
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 3: lakers THE. Nba it doesn't. Matter It's Lebron james. World

1731
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:06,640
Speaker 3: and that's why we can't have AN nba until he.

1732
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 3: Leaves and that's WHY i hope he retires this.

1733
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 2: Year let me ask you a question THAT i hadn't

1734
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 2: thought of until right.

1735
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:14,600
Speaker 4: Now i'm gonna put you on the.

1736
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 2: SPOT i kind of believe the notion of guys you,

1737
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:21,760
Speaker 2: know hurting their own legacy towards the end of their.

1738
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 4: CAREER i believe it's something that's largely. Overrated we never

1739
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 4: talked About Michael jordan with The.

1740
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 2: Wizards we never talk about Uh Quem olajuan with The Toronto.

1741
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 3: Rat with The, chiefs.

1742
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:34,240
Speaker 4: Exactly Jerry rice with The. Seahawks you get the, point.

1743
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 2: Right this is probably a prisoner of the moment. Take

1744
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 2: BUT i do feel like The lebron discourse has gone

1745
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 2: so far off the rails WITH broni with we now

1746
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:55,720
Speaker 2: know that you, know he's handpicked every head coach and

1747
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 2: then immediately threw him under the. Bus Darvin Ham NOW Jj,

1748
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:03,559
Speaker 2: Reddick now this now that let me put it this,

1749
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 2: way BECAUSE i was thinking about, this is, that, like you,

1750
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:09,720
Speaker 2: KNOW i used to be the Biggest lebron defender. EVER i,

1751
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:12,640
Speaker 2: mean eight straight, finals you, know the four straight against The,

1752
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 2: warriors you, know the twenty sixteen, comeback what was it

1753
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen when he had like fifty twelve and twelve

1754
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 2: in THE. J. Jr smith? Game AND i BUT i feel,

1755
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 2: like and maybe it's because we're in the moment right

1756
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 2: now where it isn't THAT i don't, know like this

1757
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 2: is the question Is LIKE i, Said i'm a believer

1758
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 2: that the notion that you kill your legacy if you

1759
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,799
Speaker 2: have an incredible, legacy THAT i feel like that's largely.

1760
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:47,719
Speaker 2: OVERRATED i do feel like there is so much off

1761
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,840
Speaker 2: the court noise With, lebron and it has been so

1762
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 2: long since his teams have really been. COMPETITIVE i, mean

1763
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 2: we went through you AND I i think we're on

1764
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 2: air when The lakers lost last year in the playoffs or,

1765
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 2: whatever and we kind of went through The lakers era

1766
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,520
Speaker 2: where it's, Like, okay you take out The bubble. CHAMPIONSHIP

1767
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:06,280
Speaker 2: i know they made A Western conference, final so maybe

1768
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 2: that's not, fair but like a lot of miss, playoffs

1769
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 2: a lot of ugly, exits a lot of, drama. WHATEVER

1770
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:18,719
Speaker 2: i just feel like BETWEEN, broni between THE Jj reddicks.

1771
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:19,320
Speaker 4: STUFF i don't.

1772
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,679
Speaker 2: KNOW i JUST i do feel like in twenty years

1773
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 2: it isn't gonna be just we just right off the

1774
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,639
Speaker 2: end of The lebron era and only remember the hits

1775
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:33,479
Speaker 2: the way that we do WITH, mj With Joe, montana with.

1776
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 2: Whoever Maybe i'm a prisoner of the, moment but that's

1777
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 2: kind of HOW i. Feel AM i crazy for saying?

1778
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 3: That, NO i don't think. SO i do think that

1779
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:46,600
Speaker 3: it's a unique circumstance here because the difference between a

1780
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:50,440
Speaker 3: lot of the examples that you AND i have suggested

1781
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 3: here in this last couple of minutes in this segment

1782
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 3: is that they weren't also self destructing in terms of their.

1783
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 3: Organizations like we don't Remember Joe montana with The chiefs

1784
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:03,600
Speaker 3: because he didn't do anything to harm The. Chiefs he

1785
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 3: was just. Old it's not Like Michael jordan went to

1786
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:09,320
Speaker 3: The wizards and made them worse and all those other

1787
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 3: kinds of. Things it's not Like lebron is making them

1788
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 3: worse on the, floor but what he's doing out off the,

1789
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 3: floor and just The marionette way that he has kind

1790
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:23,200
Speaker 3: of puppeteered THE La lakers, franchise all of, THAT i

1791
01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 3: think kind of plays into it in a different. WAY

1792
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:29,760
Speaker 3: i think That weirdly, ENOUGH i think That Aaron rodgers

1793
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 3: was on a similar, trajectory and then last year helped

1794
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:35,759
Speaker 3: him out a lot because he just kind of shut

1795
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,720
Speaker 3: up and played. Football he just kind of. Played it

1796
01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 3: was just it was what it. Was they weren't gonna

1797
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,639
Speaker 3: win The Super, bowl But Aaron rodgers seemed to play

1798
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 3: pretty well last, year and he seemed to actually be

1799
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:48,640
Speaker 3: having a good, time and he didn't bury his teammates

1800
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:51,920
Speaker 3: and he Defended Mike tomlin and all. This none of

1801
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,920
Speaker 3: those things Does Lebron james, Do, like absolutely none of.

1802
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,559
Speaker 3: THEM i was talking about him defending guys just. Now,

1803
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:02,520
Speaker 3: meanwhile you've Got Ron james agent on his own, podcast

1804
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 3: just sitting there basically burying the dude that they just

1805
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 3: acquired to try and help your guy win a. Championship

1806
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:12,840
Speaker 3: like all of those kinds of, things every possible choice

1807
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 3: that you could make to reflect well upon, Yourself lebron has.

1808
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 3: It and that to me is the Biggest it's sort

1809
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 3: of the biggest. Thing it's like he has harmed his

1810
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 3: legacy because he has stayed too, long because he hasn't

1811
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:31,639
Speaker 3: just stayed and done the thing that everybody liked him.

1812
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 3: For he's decided he wants to be a, meddler he

1813
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 3: wants to be an, irritant and he's done a pretty

1814
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:40,280
Speaker 3: dog one good job of. It and in the, PROCESS

1815
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 3: i think he has dragged his legacy. Down and most

1816
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:45,800
Speaker 3: people when they Hear, lebron their eyes roll into the

1817
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 3: back of their head because they're just. Sick and tired of.

1818
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 2: It, YEAH i JUST i think it'll be interesting to

1819
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 2: monitor going forward the way that the way that this

1820
01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:02,759
Speaker 2: thing has has unfolded over the the last like three

1821
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 2: or four. YEARS i JUST i don't, know, Man LIKE i,

1822
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 2: SAID i don't mean to keep a laboring the, point

1823
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:11,639
Speaker 2: BUT i do think there is something to you forget

1824
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:13,519
Speaker 2: about most of the bad stuff with.

1825
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 4: TIME i don't think it's going to be like.

1826
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 2: That AND i think part of it, too is THAT

1827
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,600
Speaker 2: i think all of the stuff that you said is

1828
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:24,280
Speaker 2: part of it as, well right is? That LIKE i

1829
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:26,679
Speaker 2: know that like With Michael, jordan right like the Last,

1830
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:29,880
Speaker 2: Dance LIKE i, know if you watch the Last, dance

1831
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:31,680
Speaker 2: you could sit there and, say, oh nobody comes out

1832
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 2: of it looking good except For Michael jordan And, Scotti

1833
01:36:34,479 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 2: pipen kind of got thrown under the bus. Whatever LIKE

1834
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 2: i don't, KNOW i feel like pretty much all of

1835
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 2: his contemporaries like respected mj.

1836
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 4: WHATEVER i don't even know Where i'm going with.

1837
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 2: THIS i guess the Point i'm trying to make, is

1838
01:36:45,640 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 2: like With, LEBRON i think it's so obvious how the

1839
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 2: media is being used to try and prop him, up

1840
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 2: try to tear down everyone around. Him the coaching STUFF

1841
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:01,120
Speaker 2: i think, Matters the bron any STUFF i think. MATTERS

1842
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:02,920
Speaker 2: i just don't think you can look at this in

1843
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 2: totality and say that the last like six years basically

1844
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 2: since he Left cleveland haven't been and you, know they've

1845
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:13,559
Speaker 2: been pretty. CLUNKY i think it's actually eight years because

1846
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:15,000
Speaker 2: he left in twenty, eighteen it's twenty twenty.

1847
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 4: SIX i think eight.

1848
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 2: Years like it's been a clunky final. Run and so,

1849
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:22,760
Speaker 2: YEAH i don't. KNOW i JUST i think it's, interesting

1850
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 2: AND i do think and, again maybe you, know who

1851
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 2: knows where we'll, be uh in ten or fifteen, years

1852
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 2: and maybe we'll just be talking About lebron.

1853
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 4: Glowingly BUT i don't. KNOW i JUST i do feel, like,

1854
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 4: man it just feels like the last six or seven

1855
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:38,560
Speaker 4: years have just been a. Trainer we're going to.

1856
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:40,000
Speaker 3: Have the only, way, well, LISTEN i will. Say the

1857
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 3: only other Thing i'll say is this to that, point

1858
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 3: the only way that that can be the case is

1859
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:46,640
Speaker 3: if he goes, away because it's absence that makes the

1860
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 3: hard grow. Fun any, president all the presidents are the

1861
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 3: worst president ever when they're in, office and then as

1862
01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:55,040
Speaker 3: you get further and further, away some of that. Softens

1863
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:56,800
Speaker 3: now it's not always going to, soften and there are

1864
01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 3: exclusions to those. Rules But Lebron, james we can't go

1865
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 3: back to think about all the good stuff that he's

1866
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 3: done and the fun games that he's had and the

1867
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 3: crazy moments and all of. That we can't do it

1868
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:11,160
Speaker 3: because he won't go. Away, yeah we can't reflect upon

1869
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 3: a career that won't. End.

1870
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, no and and last thing and then we'll come

1871
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:19,800
Speaker 2: back and do some other. Stuff but like there WAS

1872
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:24,000
Speaker 2: i thought a legitimate ar there was an. Argument, actually

1873
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 2: let's throw out a take THAT i had is you

1874
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 2: know WHAT i actually thought he should have. RETIRED i

1875
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 2: actually thought he should have retired after The, olympics the

1876
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:34,640
Speaker 2: most Recent, olympics when him And Steph curry were the

1877
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 2: two most important. Players he was closing in on. Forty

1878
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 2: he was awesome in Those. Olympics and by the, way you,

1879
01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 2: know not to make this about what we just talked

1880
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 2: about it now we're going with the hockey. Team but

1881

Speaker 2: Round they obviously last year got was it a SWEET

1888

1930
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:20,280

1931
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 2: yeah it beat a good team basically for lack of

1932
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 2: a better, TERM i saw a headline earlier in the.

1933
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:28,639
Speaker 2: Day admittedly it Was Barstool. Sports i'm not saying it's

1934
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:34,599
Speaker 2: the most, credible you know, news big jay, journalism but headline,

1935
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:36,560
Speaker 2: quote don't be shocked If Drew awler is one of

1936
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 2: the top three quarterbacks taken in this year's draft and

1937
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:41,720
Speaker 2: it's you, know links to a bunch of tweets.

1938
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:41,680
Speaker 4: And this and.

1939
01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:47,400
Speaker 2: That has anything changed for you On Drew aler since you,

1940
01:41:47,439 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 2: know unfortunately season ending. INJURY i believe it was THE

1941
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:52,959
Speaker 2: ucla game the week before they had lost To. Oregon

1942
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:56,759
Speaker 2: has anything changed on The Drew roaler front For Jason.

1943
01:41:56,800 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 3: Martin, nope really. HASN'T i mean it's not that there's

1944
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 3: no talent. THERE i JUST i have not seen the

1945
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 3: killer Instinct i'm gonna come into a franchise and be

1946
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:13,360
Speaker 3: the one that's going to win the game when things

1947
01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:18,120
Speaker 3: are not going. Well, certainly he can do some good,

1948
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 3: things AND i understood why people liked, him but at

1949
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 3: the same, TIME i just feel like he's another one

1950
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:29,040
Speaker 3: of these guys that it's time to build him up

1951
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 3: because he plays quarterback and we need some storylines going

1952
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 3: into THE nfl. Draft so we've got some analysts out

1953
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 3: of here saying That Ty simpson's better Than Fernando, mendoza

1954
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 3: and now we've got Well Drew allers wowing people at the.

1955
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:46,719
Speaker 3: COMBINE i just the combine to me, again is just fool's.

1956
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 3: Gold it doesn't mean that you can't find good information.

1957
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 3: There it just means you don't want to overvalue too

1958
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:55,799
Speaker 3: much of what you're, seeing especially quarterbacks throwing the football

1959
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:58,560
Speaker 3: and things of that. Nature he's got some good. Measurables

1960
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 3: we saw some good things at times from him At Penn.

1961
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 3: State but to your, point in the biggest, moments in

1962
01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:08,560
Speaker 3: the biggest, games he would often come up the smallest

1963
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:10,880
Speaker 3: or he would be one of the things that you

1964
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:13,360
Speaker 3: would be able to detect and watch and, say all,

1965
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:17,719
Speaker 3: right he's actually costing them this game right, now that's

1966
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:20,120
Speaker 3: what you can't. Have and then you just look at

1967
01:43:20,120 --> 01:43:22,120
Speaker 3: it and, say, well was that just A Penn state

1968
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 3: problem or is that something that's going to. Continue i'll

1969
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 3: go on record and SAY i think it's something that's

1970
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,439
Speaker 3: going to. Continue Drew, aller to, me looks like a

1971
01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 3: career backup in THE nfl is going to come in

1972
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:36,519
Speaker 3: and turn the ball over some and do some good

1973
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:38,599
Speaker 3: things at times and make you think that he's better

1974
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 3: than he actually. Is BUT i do not see a

1975
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 3: starting caliber quarterback in THE nfl right. Now i'd, LIKE

1976
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:47,679
Speaker 3: i don't blame him if he wants to go ahead

1977
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,160
Speaker 3: and leave and all, That and of, course with everything

1978
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,519
Speaker 3: changing At Penn state and coming off the, injury maybe

1979
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 3: it's time to go ahead and strike it In and,

1980
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 3: LOOK i wish him, well AND i hope THAT i am.

1981
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,880
Speaker 3: WRONG i just don't see it with him in terms

1982
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:01,759
Speaker 3: of being a franchise.

1983
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:05,439
Speaker 2: Quarterback, yeah so, listen you never want to have a

1984
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 2: season ending in theory career ending, injury you, know in,

1985
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 2: college it's career ending in college. WHATEVER i don't think

1986
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 2: it was the worst thing that could have happened to.

1987
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:18,360
Speaker 2: Him AND i remember even saying, THIS i think to

1988
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 2: you during the season when it was clear that like

1989
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,560
Speaker 2: the stock was falling pretty, hard AND i KNOW i

1990
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 2: talked to Producer brandon about this during the. Season is,

1991
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:32,639
Speaker 2: LIKE i can see the scenario, where LIKE i, said

1992
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 2: this exact, THING i was, like what if he just

1993
01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 2: gets drafted by The rams and gets gets to sit

1994
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 2: Behind Matthew stafford for two years and maybe be you,

1995
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:42,760
Speaker 2: know basically the air.

1996
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 4: Apparent AND i THINK.

1997
01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:46,439
Speaker 2: I said that with a lot of the guys that

1998
01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 2: were projected to go high in the draft in the,

1999
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:54,000
Speaker 2: preseason specifically Specifically aler Kde Club. NICK i wouldn't Put

2000
01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 2: Garrett nusmeyer in that group BECAUSE i just Think Garrett

2001
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 2: nusmeyer is bad AND i think he's just not. Good

2002
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:01,800
Speaker 2: AND i guess by definition those are the same two.

2003
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:03,439
Speaker 3: Things, YEAH i was about to, say you just said

2004
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 3: the same thing. TWICE i don't. Disagree, YEAH i don't

2005
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:08,040
Speaker 3: think he's very good. Either.

2006
01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:09,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, so LIKE.

2007
01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:13,479
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting because the tools are there With,

2008
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,680
Speaker 2: durealer it just has not translated to the, field and

2009
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:18,760
Speaker 2: it may never by the, way we've seen guys like

2010
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 2: that that it just never Translates Trey, lance.

2011
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:23,479
Speaker 4: You know, whoever it doesn't.

2012
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:26,360
Speaker 2: Matter the Point i'm trying to make is LIKE i

2013
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:30,679
Speaker 2: actually think it's now an interesting test case of he's

2014
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 2: not going to be, DRAFTED i would assume by a

2015
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 2: team that needs him to contribute right, away and if he,

2016
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:42,240
Speaker 2: isn't is there something salvageable there or is he always

2017
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:44,240
Speaker 2: just gonna be the tools guy that it never translates

2018
01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 2: to the.

2019
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 4: Field that's certainly in. PLAY i just Referenced Trey.

2020
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 2: Lance there have been plenty of other examples of guys

2021
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 2: with plenty of tools that it never fully. Clicks And

2022
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 2: i've seen no, reason by the, way to make it

2023
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:56,080
Speaker 2: think that it. Clicks but the difference between him And Trey,

2024
01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:58,600
Speaker 2: Lance Trey lance was drafted third. Overall that's clearly not

2025
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:02,080
Speaker 2: gonna happen With. Draaler, yeah that's that's my Only dualer.

2026
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:04,800
Speaker 2: TAKE i think if he gets drafted by a team

2027
01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:07,759
Speaker 2: that does not need a starting quarterback this coming, season

2028
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 2: WHICH i assume he will, be and he has plenty

2029
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:12,600
Speaker 2: of time to, develop assuming it's the right organization with

2030
01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:15,320
Speaker 2: the right coaching, staff et, CETERA i think he has

2031
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 2: a chance to be an interesting guy down the. ROAD

2032
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 2: i think if the season had finished and somehow he

2033
01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:23,640
Speaker 2: was taken twelfth overall to a team that needed a

2034
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 2: starting quarterback next, year it.

2035
01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 3: Would have been a.

2036
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:30,160
Speaker 4: Disaster that is my super lukewarm take On Drew.

2037
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:32,840
Speaker 3: Allen, YEAH i, mean where's he gonna develop? Better in

2038
01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:35,799
Speaker 3: college football or on the practice field in THE, nfl

2039
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 3: maybe even being on a scout, team maybe being on

2040
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:41,160
Speaker 3: a practice. SQUAD i doubt. IT i, MEAN i feel

2041
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 3: like he'll probably he would probably be a second or

2042
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:46,800
Speaker 3: third string. GUY i don't. Know it depends on the.

2043
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 3: Organization some some teams run practices a lot better and

2044
01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:54,080
Speaker 3: develop guys behind the scenes a lot better than others do,

2045
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:57,200
Speaker 3: So and this is this is not any kind of

2046
01:46:57,200 --> 01:47:01,479
Speaker 3: a bold take either or a particularly deep, take BUT i,

2047
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 3: mean it all comes down to where you. Go situations make.

2048
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,640
Speaker 3: Careers they sometimes Make hall Of fame level. Careers there

2049
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 3: are guys that maybe could have gone somewhere else to

2050
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 3: start their career that didn't and never were heard from.

2051
01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:19,479
Speaker 3: Again and then there are great stories like A Sam

2052
01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:21,800
Speaker 3: darnold or Even Gino smith for a few years there

2053
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:25,080
Speaker 3: In seattle where you kind of saw something. Else so

2054
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 3: not writing him off or anything like. THAT i don't

2055
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 3: think he's ready. YET i don't think that he showed

2056
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 3: that he was ready At Penn. State but The Penn

2057
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 3: state situation around him was crumbling as, Well SO i

2058
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:37,760
Speaker 3: want to give him at LEAST i want to give

2059
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 3: him some leeway there and, SAY i don't know what

2060
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:42,679
Speaker 3: all was, happening but things weren't going good for that team.

2061
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 3: Period BUT i don't see a game changing player in him,

2062
01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:52,840
Speaker 3: today and that's the only thing THAT i can base it.

2063
01:47:52,920 --> 01:47:56,080
Speaker 3: On but if you can get him at the right

2064
01:47:56,600 --> 01:47:59,599
Speaker 3: time in the, draft if somebody wants to go, reach

2065
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 3: then let him. Reach but if you can get him

2066
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 3: in the middle of the, draft if you need a

2067
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 3: guy to stash for a year or two to develop

2068
01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:10,760
Speaker 3: and just, see then, yeah. SURE i don't know if

2069
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 3: that's What Drew aller was hoping his career was going

2070
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:15,639
Speaker 3: to be in THE, Nfl but that's the decision that.

2071
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:19,400
Speaker 4: He's, made decision that he's. Made we'll see what. Happens

2072
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 4: Drew aller did throw is it the? First won't be

2073
01:48:23,560 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 4: the last to look?

2074
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:27,439
Speaker 2: Great by the, WAY i actually remember vividly having this

2075
01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 2: conversation About Anthony richardson as. WELL i remember like literally

2076
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:34,479
Speaker 2: seeing him at the combine and being, LIKE i know

2077
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:37,400
Speaker 2: WHAT i watched At, florida but WHAT i am seeing

2078
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 2: right now makes me want to draft. Him so now

2079
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:42,600
Speaker 2: it didn't work, Out we'll see If Drew aler is

2080
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 2: any better. Again Anthony richardson another guy that went in

2081
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:50,200
Speaker 2: the top. Five Drew aller will not be going top.

2082
01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 2: Five Fox Sports Radio erra Towards Jason. Martin we'll come.

2083

2085
01:48:58,200 --> 01:48:59,120
Speaker 4: Not looking good for our.

2086
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 2: Guy we'll discuss that next before we do the final

2087
01:49:01,439 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 2: time this, Evening steve De, segar what is?

2088
01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:08,240
Speaker 7: Trending you've seen some greatness in those departments in recent

2089
01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:11,719
Speaker 7: years in THE. Nfl you still actually need to complete

2090
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 7: a pass at the pro.

2091
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 2: Level, Listen i've made this this conversation many. Times there's

2092
01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 2: this whole thing about it's impossible to evaluate, quarterbacks AND

2093
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 2: i think sometimes it can be. Hard ninety nine Percent

2094
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:27,280
Speaker 2: and by the, way it's kind of like My Darren

2095
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 2: peterson take is like ninety nine percent of times the

2096
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 2: bus are the guys with all upside that have never actually. Produced,

2097
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:37,360
Speaker 2: like think about all the bus that we talk, about

2098
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:40,040
Speaker 2: how many of them were four year winner you, know

2099
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:44,799
Speaker 2: Like Trey LIKE i, Said Trey, Lance Anthony, richardson they barely. Played,

2100
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:48,040
Speaker 2: yeah they barely. Played they weren't successful like or.

2101
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 7: You've got the mental, aspect Like JaMarcus russell Or Ryan.

2102
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:54,320
Speaker 7: Leaf at the, Time Ryan leef Got Washington state to

2103
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:57,880
Speaker 7: The Rose bowl for crying out. Loud that was a monumental. Accomplishment,

2104
01:49:58,040 --> 01:50:00,800
Speaker 7: however there were otherss going on.

2105
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 2: NOW i don't have a list OF nfl draft bus

2106
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:06,840
Speaker 2: in front of. Me CAx, Smith, YEAH i don't think it.

2107
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:08,360
Speaker 3: Counts Jack, Wilson.

2108
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah Zach wilson is a perfect. Example one year No

2109
01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 2: Power conference. Teams, Well Will levis isn't really a bus

2110
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 2: because he went in the second, round but Like Zach

2111
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:23,080
Speaker 2: wilson second overall played Zero Power conference, teams had one good,

2112
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:26,439
Speaker 2: season beat no one of, note and he's, Tiny like

2113
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:28,720

Speaker 4: Night i'll be, REAL.

2215
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:09,640
Speaker 2: I thought coming into, today those were really the only

2216
01:56:09,680 --> 01:56:13,160
Speaker 2: four teams that could really win the national. Championship AND

2217
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:17,720
Speaker 2: i think this was almost like a separation Type saturday where, yeah,

2218
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:21,280
Speaker 2: LISTEN i Think yukon could under the right, circumstances Maybe,

2219
01:56:21,320 --> 01:56:25,000
Speaker 2: houston Maybe Iowa. State but those, four to, me even

2220
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:27,760
Speaker 2: though they aren't the top four in the, polls have separated.

2221
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:31,040
Speaker 2: Themselves Even, florida which was ranked number seven coming into,

2222
01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:33,840
Speaker 2: today they've won ten. Straight, NOW i just bring it

2223
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 2: up BECAUSE i thought it was a little bit of

2224
01:56:35,480 --> 01:56:38,560
Speaker 2: a Separation saturday in college. Basketball and even if you

2225
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 2: want to take Out, florida the top three destroying top

2226
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:44,320
Speaker 2: fifteen opponents kind of tells you where the top of

2227
01:56:44,320 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 2: the support.

2228
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:47,520
Speaker 3: Is, YEAH i mean what we saw last, week even

2229
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:50,240
Speaker 3: when we Saw michigan And, duke like you knew you

2230
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:54,520
Speaker 3: were watching a potential on a potential national championship game right,

2231
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 3: there and The Duke virginia. THING i think it was

2232
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:00,240
Speaker 3: forty one to twenty six at the, Half LIKE i,

2233
01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:04,480
Speaker 3: mean it was over well, Before LIKE i, mean you

2234
01:57:04,720 --> 01:57:06,200
Speaker 3: didn't have to watch half of that game to know

2235
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:11,680
Speaker 3: exactly how that was gonna play. Out, arizona even though

2236
01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 3: they kind of toyed around a little bit there when

2237
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 3: they finally really got dominant in the second, half it

2238
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:18,800
Speaker 3: just that was not A that was not a game.

2239
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 3: Either SO i, mean you never know because the tournament as.

2240
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:25,120
Speaker 3: Well but we had this conversation last, year AND i

2241
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 3: think THAT i came around to your side of, it

2242
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:32,280
Speaker 3: that the nil era and the way these teams are built,

2243
01:57:32,360 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 3: now we're gonna see less of The cinderellas in a

2244
01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:40,120
Speaker 3: lot of cases now you're still gonna see some in

2245
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:42,800
Speaker 3: the seven to tens at six to, eleven, like you're

2246
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:45,400
Speaker 3: still gonna see some of those kind of. Upsets but

2247
01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:48,360
Speaker 3: a lot of these, real real cream of the crop

2248
01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:50,800
Speaker 3: teams are not gonna get beat in this tournament the

2249
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:53,760
Speaker 3: way that they once did because the talent level and

2250
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:58,360
Speaker 3: the depth IS i feel like that gap is widening

2251
01:57:58,640 --> 01:58:02,200
Speaker 3: in college, basketball and it's a different story compared to

2252
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:05,080
Speaker 3: what we're seeing in college. Football BUT i think that's

2253
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:08,360
Speaker 3: why your point has more validity than it otherwise, would

2254
01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:11,040
Speaker 3: AND i think it was already. Valid but, YEAH i

2255
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 3: mean those four teams have been dominant all year. Long

2256
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 3: we've seen it against top. Opponents we've seen it even

2257
01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:18,240
Speaker 3: on nights where it could be easy to kind of

2258
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:21,440
Speaker 3: take that night. Off these are just really good basketball

2259
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,760
Speaker 3: teams that are good everywhere and, have you, know a good.

2260
01:58:24,760 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 3: Bench even though you've got a guard that's you, Know

2261
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:29,240
Speaker 3: michigan lost a guard with AN acl tear in that,

2262
01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 3: game it was a decent contributor for. Them but, again they're.

2263
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 3: Deep all these teams are. Deep they're well, coached they

2264
01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 3: kind of know what they are. Doing they've been there.

2265
01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 3: Before we obviously know What duke And florida can do.

2266
01:58:42,400 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 3: SO i MEAN i tend to agree with. YOU i,

2267
01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:47,280
Speaker 3: mean the tournament is, often or it used to, be about.

2268
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 3: PLAYERS i think now more so than, ever it's kind

2269
01:58:50,680 --> 01:58:54,480
Speaker 3: of become more about a team that has a. Player.

2270
01:58:56,080 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, no AND i just have much else to.

2271
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:03,120
Speaker 2: ADD i do think there is absolutely something to the

2272
01:59:03,120 --> 01:59:05,320
Speaker 2: top of the sport being. BETTER i don't think it's

2273
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 2: quite as cut and dry like last. Year it felt

2274
01:59:08,200 --> 01:59:10,400
Speaker 2: like those four teams were kind of at the, top

2275
01:59:10,480 --> 01:59:12,040
Speaker 2: the four that ended up making the final. FOUR i

2276
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:14,520
Speaker 2: think other teams could make a final. FOUR i think

2277
01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:17,840
Speaker 2: those teams could get. Upset But i'd be surprised if

2278
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 2: the national champion came out of any of those. Four

2279
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 2: been Teasing Coach, Prime we're not gonna be able to

2280
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:24,040
Speaker 2: get to. It i'll just kind of give you the

2281
01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 2: gist of the. Story defensive Coordinator Robert livyston leaves one

2282
01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 2: day before spring. Practice we also find out today That Warren,

2283
01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:34,760
Speaker 2: sap the defensive line, coach is not going to. Return

2284
01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:37,160
Speaker 2: so it's safe to, say coming off of a three

2285
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 2: to nine year coaching changes this, late you'll worry About

2286
01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:45,520
Speaker 2: Coach prime's future At. Colorado but we got nine months

2287
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:47,640
Speaker 2: to talk about college. Football we're gonna go ahead and

2288
01:59:47,680 --> 01:59:49,240
