160
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 9: call in front of the show Phil Jackson.

161
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 5: Now to anybody who has a wooden leg can't be

162
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: a friend of the show, just saying.

163
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 9: Wow, dang, that's the able list.

164
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: That was that. Actually that's a big on the business

165
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: list right now.

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 9: You don't like that, Ron, Sorry about it's a little racist.

167
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: It's somebody right now, wooden wooden leg. It's somebody right

168
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: now turning off the station. Just turn They had no choice.

169
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: Ye yes, I can't listen. I was about to call

170
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: in long time listening first I call it.

171
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: But it was amazing because they turned it off with

172
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 5: the wooden leg rod.

173
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: You just got back, so don't get don't get fired

174
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: on your first day back.

175
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: Look at Alex is sick already, even Alex, you're a

176
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: line when Alex and whoa uh so?

177
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 9: Phil Jackson has famously said, is you alluded to?

178
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 5: The Only good thing though, is that if you have

179
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 5: something in your tooth like like you know, never any toothpicks,

180
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 5: you could just grab a piece from your leg and

181
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 5: then you could just you know, get it out with.

182
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: The You could go ahead.

183
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 9: But what you can't do with a wooden leg is

184
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 9: winning the NBA Championship.

185
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: For the boy, keep keep them employed, Rob because you employed.

186
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 7: Phil Jackson fambly said that if you're gonna win a championship,

187
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 7: you gotta win forty games before you lose. And after

188
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 7: the Boston Celtics lost last night to Nicoli jokicch and

189
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 7: the Nuggets, it's official. There are only three teams in

190
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 7: the NBA that can actually win a championship, the OKC Thunder,

191
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 7: the San Antonio Spurs, and our Detroit Pistons. In fact,

192
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 7: I think it's eighteen of the last nineteen NBA champions

193
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 7: have reached a forty twenty rule.

194
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 9: So guys, why or even bother watching the end of

195
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 9: this season, Well.

196
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: We have no choice. We gotta get to eighty two games.

197
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: But I'll say this this, Obviously any rule can be

198
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: broken in in this case eighteen out of nineteen, meaning

199
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: it didn't happen one time. But I think the reason

200
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: why this with this works is because we talk about

201
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: it all the time. Sitting here, me and Rob, we

202
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: pride ourselves in talking baseball, and in baseball, you have

203
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: no idea. Now the last couple of years, Yester Dodgers

204
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: on paper have looked like the best team and ultimately

205
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: have won it. But baseball, you can spend the most

206
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: money you might make, you can spend the least you

207
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: got a chance to make it. You can be middling,

208
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: you can make it. You can barely stumble in and

209
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: get to the World Series. It's different football. A lot

210
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: of people didn't think the Seahawks would end up being

211
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: ultimately the champions, let alone the Patriots making to the

212
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It's a little more topsy turvy, first to worse.

213
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: You can be the worst team the Bears and the

214
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: divisionality the best. It's just like that basketball. You kind

215
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: of know going in here are the two three best teams.

216
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: Maybe there's four, but you kind of have an idea

217
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: of who they are. And in this case, with these

218
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: three teams, we knew the Thunder would be good. In fact,

219
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, they're winning so much and

220
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: winning so dominantly, we were like, oh, well, shoot, if

221
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: it's par for saands for injuries, they might as well

222
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: win it. The Spurs has showed them I not quite yet,

223
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: winning four out of five versus them throughout their season,

224
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: and the Spurs put themselves right there in the thicket things.

225
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: But that means you have incredible death, and the Pistons

226
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: are in this case as well. You have a credible death,

227
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: you have some type of identity, and you have some

228
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: type of continuity. And the three teams that have that

229
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: are these three teams. Now, I think it's like the

230
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: AFC NFC in the NFL. I believe the Western Conference

231
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: is gonna win the championship. I thought to whoever won

232
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: the NFC was gonna win the Super Bowl. And so

233
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to the Spurs, and it

234
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: comes down to the Thunder because they play great on

235
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. I'll have the Pistons as well,

236
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: and they have a star Wenby. You could even say

237
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: Castle for the Spurs as well. We know what SGA

238
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: is and in K's case for the Pistons. So all

239
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: the criteria, the formula you would check for a championship team,

240
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: only one being experienced. You know, you got to kind

241
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: of learn it for the Spurs and the Pistons, but

242
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: it makes sense for them. If you make me pick today,

243
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Thunder. Obviously we still have to wait

244
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: how everything plays out, but the checklist is there for

245
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: those three teams, and I think at the end of

246
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: the season, Rob, we're gonna be looking at nineteen out

247
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: of twenty.

248
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: This is the case.

249
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that this doesn't work this year, especially

250
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 5: because of the injuries and where we are.

251
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: This is where you have to throw out Phil Jackson.

252
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 5: He's got a wooden leg when it comes to this,

253
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 5: and I'm not buying into.

254
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: This attack of wooden legs is crazy. I'm just saying what,

255
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: I just.

256
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: What did the wooden leg do to you? No, he's

257
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: just you know, I know he's got leg problems.

258
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 5: But my point is that this might have worked if

259
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 5: you take a look at this year and realize, like

260
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: the injury even the Celtics are thirty eight and twenty,

261
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 5: so you may tell me that they're.

262
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 2: Totally out because they're too good.

263
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, the season without their best player playing all year.

264
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 5: They're thirty eight and twenty, so they can't win. Oh possibly.

265
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 5: And then you know the Pacers last year went to

266
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 5: the finals. Of course that missing their best player. This

267
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 5: season has been the tour they okay, gosh, yeah, but

268
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 5: they're bad.

269
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: It happens.

270
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: We saw it in San Antonio when when they got

271
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 5: when they had the admiral, and then they wind.

272
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: Up getting not perfectly right.

273
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: So you know, they were really really bad even though

274
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 5: they had the admiral. And that can happen to you

275
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 5: in Denver. We know that Joker has heard missed a

276
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: significant amount of time, sixteen games. You can't tell me

277
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 5: that they can't get it back together. They're thirty seven,

278
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 5: they're three wins away from the forty. So they were

279
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 5: eliminated because they didn't get there right. And well, this

280
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 5: is why I'm saying that the rules stinks. And if

281
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 5: you were to put your thumb on it and smell it,

282
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: it would not be a nice thing. Okay, wow, well

283
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 5: that's another nick. And then that brings you to the Knis.

284
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a trend. That's a perfect segue to the Knicks.

285
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 5: And then the Knicks like they do have a new coach.

286
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 5: Things haven't gone swimming lead for them at all. But

287
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 5: are they out of it? Can they not win?

288
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: Yes? They can.

289
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 5: Cleveland Garland missed a lot of times with the Cavaliers.

290
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 5: Now they got James Harden and I know he's got

291
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 5: a thumb issue as well.

292
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: What's going on with though the thumb thumbs? It's something

293
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference with thumbs.

294
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: But uh, it's thumb gate.

295
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 5: But but you get My point is like there are

296
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 5: a lot of teams that are hovering right around that.

297
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: So in this case where guys have been injured and whatnot,

298
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 5: I'm not buying into Phil Jackson. I mean I think

299
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 5: Fort Jackson forty twenty this year does not compute. And

300
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 5: that's why you have to take a look at it.

301
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 5: Everything has to have context. And when you take the

302
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 5: Joker off for sixteen games, and you take caliber off

303
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 5: and you take Tatum all for a season, like, it's

304
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 5: got to alter a little bit. And I don't think

305
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 5: it's I.

306
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: Don't disagree that if you if we're sitting here and

307
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: will to be two three months and then the Nuggets

308
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: are champions. I don't think anybody's gonna be like what now.

309
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: A couple of the teams I would actually be shot

310
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: with the calves. They have the talent. I don't buy

311
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: the heart talent on paper. If I listed the names,

312
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: i'd give you you know that, But I don't buy it.

313
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: I think it does come down to the Knicks and

314
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: the Pistons. I think the Celtics will be acting the Pistons.

315
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 5: Here's my issue three point shooting twenty. First, they play

316
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 5: different in the postseason. You gotta make you gotta be

317
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: able to make shoot.

318
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: But I don't think the winners coming out of the

319
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: East regard But I'm just saying, even to get there,

320
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: it's a different game.

321
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 5: That there's a different game that they let you play

322
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 5: during the regular season compared to the posts.

323
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: I feel, and we saw I don't think so play

324
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: the other day.

325
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 5: We saw when they collapsed on Kate and made it

326
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 5: tough for him and nobody else could knock down any shots.

327
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: Nobody else have a seven foot twelve person. They had

328
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: a person who was blocking shots at the at the

329
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: very top of the basket you got to see him

330
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: in the finals, if you were to see him.

331
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: But they're also on the bottom of threes made.

332
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: I mean like like, those are things that are gonna

333
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 5: hurt them come postseason time.

334
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm.

335
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 5: Raising my hand, Elijah, keep this video when they don't

336
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 5: get to the Eastern Conference finals because they can't make

337
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: so the Knicks are I would take the Knicks over

338
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: the Pistons right now.

339
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: They're a very good team.

340
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I would favor I would favor

341
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: the Pistons, and I think the three point shooting. The

342
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: way to negate that you don't have to be walking

343
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: around here like you're the Golden State Warriors is with

344
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: great defense and they play that that gives you a shot.

345
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: You can't have middling defense and you gotta make threes.

346
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: You gotta make shots in this league. And I don't

347
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: think that come postseason time. I think nineteen and twenty

348
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. It'll be some competitive series, but as

349
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: of now, we gotta obviously see injuries, how everything shake

350
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: shakes out as we start. It's gonna end up being

351
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: a thunder in a couple of tough series.

352
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 5: But I'm not even convinced the thunder even this year.

353
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 5: I know they got off to the great start, and

354
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 5: I don't feel the same way about them at all.

355
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: All right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox on

356
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 5: this TV theme song Thursday, and can anybody other than

357
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 5: the thunder Spurs or Pistons win the NBA Championship? We're

358
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 5: not biting on Phil Jackson's wooden leg. On this wooden leg,

359
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 5: it's crazy. I thought he had bad hips.

360
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he got a wooden leg under there. No,

361
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: just no, he used to have hips. That's why he

362
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: had to have the chair. Remember he used to have

363
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: that thrown chariot. All right, Rob Parker kelvin Washington. It

364
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: is the odd couple where we deliver insight, not noise.

365

Speaker 1: Right here on Fox Sports Radio, we are in full

Speaker 10: like this in the US of A.

372

Speaker 5: And if you were to put your thumb on it

373
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,480

409
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: We got Greg Allman joining us Fox Sports NFL reporter

410
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: here in about five minutes or so. Eight seven seven

411
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: ninety nine on Fox, we're talking about forty twenty l

412
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: If you just happened to be listening. Phil Jackson believes

413
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: if you can win forty games between before you lose twenty,

414
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: then you have a shot to be an NBA champion,

415
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: and the last eighteen of the last nineteen champions met

416
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: that criteria. Rob doesn't believe it has to be the

417
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: case this year. I think we'll be nineteen of twenty

418
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: this year as well.

419
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: What do you think? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,

420
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: we got.

421
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 5: All right, let's kick it off with Johnny in Virginia,

422
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 5: you're on the eye couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Johnny, Hello, gentlemen,

423
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: Hope ball as well.

424
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, sir, thank you.

425
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 11: So, I like I think what's being talked about. I

426
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 11: think the forty twenty rule is realistic based upon this season.

427
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 11: The teams I'm thinking about outside of that rule one

428
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 11: are the Celtics with Jason Tatum coming back. I was

429
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 11: looking at the numbers Derek White, those those shots are

430
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 11: going to go down. Jaylen Brown probably shoot a little

431
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 11: bit less as well, so the shots will be there.

432
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 11: And the way their offense flows, you know, with a

433
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 11: lot of wings with you know, some barbecue sauce, so

434
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 11: they should be fine when it comes to fitting him

435
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 11: back in and they're tested. And then on the other

436
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 11: side in the West, the Nuggets with Jokis are always

437
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 11: a threat.

438
00:19:59,280 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

439
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: I agree.

440
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 11: Isn't getting more MVP talk?

441
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, yeah, he is actually the

442
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: second if I'm not.

443
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: No no, no, his numbers are.

444
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 11: He's the league in assist and no, no.

445
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: No, he's in the sixty six game criteria. He's probably

446
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: gonna miss that. He's in the conversation absolutely if he

447
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: can get there.

448
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: He got a good chance to win.

449
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, every year for the next probably four or

450
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: five years. He'll be right there, no doubt. All right,

451
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: take one more. Yeah, let's do uh.

452
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: Drew in New Jersey? Where's he Drew? You're on the

453
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 5: couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, buddy? How are you?

454
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 8: Hey?

455
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 6: Guys? I think that if Jason Tatum is one hundred

456
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 6: percent by the time he comes out, I think that

457
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 6: he's gonna come out of the East. But I really

458
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 6: think the finals comes out through the same way the

459
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 6: NFC did. It's the NFC Championship.

460
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: Whoever wins the West, I think.

461
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 6: The Western yep. And I just think that if Wendy

462
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 6: is healthy and he doesn't get hurt, it hard for

463
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 6: me to say that he's gonna get beat and at

464
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 6: any point in the playoffs, I just think he's with

465
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 6: him with that team overall, it's too much of a

466
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 6: matchup now. Him getting hurt definitely up in the air.

467
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 6: If he's healthy, it's hard for me to imagine anyone

468
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 6: to be Yeah, but they don't.

469
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: They don't have a lot of experience either. I mean,

470
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 5: it sounds good. The playoffs are different than the regular

471
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 5: season in the NBA, and I hear your point.

472
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to say that they're going to win

473
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: the championship. Are you ready to say you are ready

474
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: to say the Thunder you already?

475
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: I'm not.

476
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 2: What's it gonna be the Timberwolves.

477
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 5: I'll take Denver if they're healthy and everything, and then

478
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 5: everybody's together. Dude, they took the Thunder the seven games

479
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 5: last year, and they're better this year. They made some move,

480
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. They brought no I think the

481
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 5: compliment to that. I think they're about to say that

482
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 5: they were right there last year.

483
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: So I'm not missing Aaron Gordon. That's a massive piece.

484
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: I'm not going I'm not going to.

485
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Be like they're better. I think they're just below a

486
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: step below last year in my opinion. All I appreciate

487
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,000

Speaker 1: the follow Greg, what's going on?

496
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: And how you doing? What's happening?

497
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 8: And how are you doing well? Get hate doing well?

498
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 8: Guess hope you're doing well.

499
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: We are doing well. H you know, quickly went jump

500
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: here I saw something. We got the one of the TVs.

501
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: Here we got the combine going on, and I saw

502
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: question somebody through out there is the combine really needed?

503
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 1: Is it really relevant? Does it really help? And if

504
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: you were answering those questions, what would you say?

505
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's it's hugely important,

506
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 8: but I think it helps. I think the interaction you

507
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 8: get all the pretty much all the draft prospects in

508
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 8: one place where it's easy for teams to line up.

509
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 8: I mean, I think the interviews that they have are

510
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 8: probably more important than some of the numbers that we

511
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 8: get so caught up in. You know, I think a

512
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 8: player can help them with a fast forty or you know,

513
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 8: good numbers with Ben Frantz or any of the other

514
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 8: measurables we see. You know, I think sometimes they're slightly

515
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 8: smaller than they were listening in college. Things like that.

516
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 8: I don't think anybody skyrockets or free fall as a

517
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 8: result of this weekend. You can hurt yourself with a

518
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 8: slow time, but the tape is still the tape.

519
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: But Greg, that's why it's just a dog and police show.

520
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: Let's just be honest.

521
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I agree with you the interview part, getting

522
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 5: a chance to talk.

523
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: Guy plays in college.

524
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 5: You got a tape on him, You've seen what you

525
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 5: can do, You've talked to his coaches. What kind of

526
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: guy is just to do this, put on some skin

527
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 5: tight outfits and run around and put it on TV

528
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 5: for people to watch.

529
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: I just I'm serious, and you just said it.

530
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 5: You can't free fall or skyrocket based on this, so off,

531
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 5: if I'm a player, why would I even do this?

532
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I think you can definitely help yourself.

533
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: You know, you hurt yourself, two of you if you

534
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: have a bad you.

535
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 8: Can't you see like somebody like Ruben Bain, who obviously

536
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 8: is probably the top three right now, and then to

537
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 8: his credit, his people have correctly told him, hey man,

538
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 8: you know there's not much room you can go higher

539
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 8: than this, so don't run, don't hurt yourself. And I

540
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 8: think there's other people who, you know, I don't know

541
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 8: if they want to convey confidence or or just so

542
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 8: good about what they can do. You know, you're seeing

543
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 8: ar ball rest go through drills in two different positions

544
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 8: to show what he can do. So yeah, I think

545
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 8: it's an individual decision. I don't think you make a

546
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 8: substantial difference one way or the other. If I were

547
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 8: a team, I would want somebody who's confident enough in

548
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 8: himself he wants to show off what he can do.

549
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 5: But I want to be mad if somebody said, man,

550
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 5: you have my tape I played three years right, I

551
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 5: mean seriously, like if you can't, if you can't evaluate

552
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 5: me from watching major college football.

553
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: Running those tights, Rob, I want to see how you run.

554
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: It's like an empty stadium.

555
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 5: Okay, hey, let me ask you about the worst franchises

556
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 5: came out from the Players Association. Yeah, I think the

557
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 5: NFL when they said please don't leak it.

558
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: Basically that was going to be right, that was going

559
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: to be leaked.

560
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 5: Yes, Uh, Miami as the top and the Steelers on

561
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 5: the bottom.

562
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: Are you surprised that any of that.

563
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 8: No, I mean it's one of those where I mean,

564
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 8: I think treating your players right is great, it doesn't

565
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 8: always translate to success on the field. So, I mean,

566
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 8: you have some really good, successful, consistently winning teams that

567
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 8: are getting some nasty grades on there, you know, ad

568
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 8: vice versa. So, I mean, I kind of liked it

569
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 8: from the standpoint of pointing out specific concerns players have,

570
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 8: and a lot of these, you know, some I don't

571
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 8: say a lot of these. Some of these can be

572
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 8: remedied with the one hundred thousand dollars, which for a

573
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 8: team with a three hundred million dollars payrolls shouldn't really

574
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 8: be a huge problem, you know. So I thought it

575
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 8: was a good way to address specific areas where teams

576
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 8: can improve. Now when you see it being used against

577
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 8: other teams in free agency, like you know, if it

578
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 8: comes down to two teams, they're playing dirty. They're saying, hey,

579
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 8: do you want to go to you know, Pittsburgh. I

580
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 8: heard the locker room smells funny. You know, there's specific

581
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 8: things you can throw at him that you know may

582
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 8: or may not carry a lot of weight with players.

583
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 8: But I do think it's amusing that they go out

584
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 8: of the way, they go to court to get it

585
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 8: so it doesn't come public, and now it's still out

586
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 8: there right the same way, you can't really give access

587
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 8: to two thousand players on a website and not expected

588
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 8: to get leaked to media in the same in the

589
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 8: same access if you will.

590
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: Hey, Greg, i'man as our guest on the Odd Couple

591
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: Robin Kelvin on a TV thing. So on Thursday, Greg,

592
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: I want to go to conversation we were having yesterday

593
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: here with the Eagles. We Rob and I been doing

594
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: the show now for two football NFL seasons and uh

595
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: seems like every year we gona talk AJ Green and

596
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: he's not happy about this. He can catch one hundred

597
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: yards still not be happy. Two touchdowns a happy get too,

598
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: a tent you know, passes, he's not happy. What do

599
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: you do if you're Nick sirianni new offensive coordinator, how

600
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: are you handling this? And then the opposite side would

601
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: be Jalen Hurts isn't necessarily spreading the ball all over

602
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: the field, but you can't necessarily change that. So how

603
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: do you gonna how are you gonna pease your stars receiver?

604
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean my main concern with Philly is that

605
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 8: their receiving death is not good. So you can't trade

606
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 8: Aj Brown without having a solid plan be in place,

607
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 8: whether it's signing Romeo Dobbs or out Piers or one

608
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 8: of these other you'd want to sign one of the

609
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 8: best two or three receivers available in free agency if

610
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 8: you're giving up AJ Brown because there's not a lot

611
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 8: behind him. I just thought that was an issue for

612
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 8: them and that when either of them were out there

613
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 8: in the year, there wasn't a lot else to step up.

614
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 8: So for them, again, A J. Brown was enough of

615
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 8: a source of friction. The offense is a whole. You know,

616
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 8: was such a dramatic year that I think they can

617
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 8: shake things up there. I mean, I think, you know,

618
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 8: there was worry that they'd have more turmoil and change

619
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 8: on the offensive line, and you see Lane Johnson's back

620
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 8: and Lanna Dickerson is back, even if Stoutlin's not back.

621
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 8: So I think in terms of shaking things up, you

622
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 8: have a new coordinator, you have some changes there. But

623
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 8: now if you think that that was untenable, I would

624
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 8: say it's okay. I mean, I don't know what AJ

625
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 8: Brown's going to get as a trade, you know, in

626
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 8: this market right now, and there's not that many great

627
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 8: receivers availables. He might go give two for for something.

628
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 8: And if you do and can replace him either with

629
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 8: a high draft pick or a top free agent.

630
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 5: I don't mind that, Greg, Greg, I can't remember what

631
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 5: coach it was, but you know, to talk about, you know,

632
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 5: how much time they spend and not going home and

633
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 5: sleeping on the couch and watching film and all that.

634
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 2: And whenever I hear that.

635
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 5: I just I just rolled my eyes because I just like, like,

636
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 5: why are you trying to convince people how hard you're work?

637
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 5: And like other coaches aren't putting in time and hours

638
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 5: and if it was just that, and you don't win.

639
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: Because a lot of these coaches do that, they still

640
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: don't win, They still don't make some examples of who want.

641
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: Bruce arians made sure everybody went home they want and

642
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: they won, you know what i mean.

643
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 5: Like when you hear that kind of stuff, I'm always

644
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 5: I just who is that for?

645
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: Is that? Is that to convince people that they work hard?

646
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 8: Yeah? I mean I thought, I'm glad you brought Bruce

647
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 8: up because I'm here in Tampa. I mean, Bruce, you know,

648
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 8: very consistently said he wants you going home, doesn't want

649
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 8: you to miss the dance recital, doesn't want you to

650
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 8: miss your kid's game. You don't have to. If you

651
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 8: do it right, you don't have to put in eighteen

652
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 8: hour day.

653
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: Why you sleep all right?

654
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 5: Just say you don't like her, right, Just say you

655
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 5: don't want to go home to the wife and kids.

656
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 8: Right, you're hiding there. Yeah, I think it can be

657
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 8: done officially. I mean again, I think every people are different.

658
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 8: There's some people that need to grind it out for

659
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 8: that full day. Maybe they don't have some medy to

660
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 8: go home to them. I don't know, but I don't

661
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 8: think one necessarily leads to the other. I think you

662
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 8: can do it right and still have some work life balance.

663
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 8: It's not an easy job for it. I didn't really

664
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 8: like the comments that came out in terms of, you know,

665
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 8: asking players to you know, sleep in a separate room

666
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 8: so they don't help their wife. That was all.

667
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: Was that the old mescal? Who was that?

668
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 8: I thought? Joe Judge, Yeah, Judge, I thought.

669
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 5: That was Fred Flintstone's toching. I mean that's how it

670
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 5: was stone Age. You're there, make me a burger and all? Yeah,

671
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: like what what what are we doing here? Twenty twenty six. Yeah,

672
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: I'm with Robin and I will we agreement that we

673
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 5: always like and even when they like criticize people who

674
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 5: have high profile wives of girlfriends blame them when they

675
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 5: don't play well. And I'm like, everybody goes home to

676
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 5: somebody right, like they got a wife and girl. Why

677
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 5: just because you know his girlfriend or his wife the difference.

678
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 5: That's why Tony Romo could never win because of Jessica Simpson.

679
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Greg, I want to ask you about this one.

680
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: What do you make of Joe Burrow in the Bengals?

681
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: Right now?

682
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: He has seen not happy yet if you're the Bengals,

683
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: you would say, well, hey, we got your star receivers.

684
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: We kept him. You know, we like to be frugal.

685
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: We've signed him, we signed Hendrickson for you know, he's

686
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: the least here now all of this, but he still

687
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: seems to be not happy and a lot of people

688
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: are saying, could this be the last year before he

689
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: wants out?

690
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: What do you make of just Joe Burrow?

691
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: It started great the ear two, I'm in the Super

692
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: Bowl and now I don't even like football.

693
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: I'm not happy right now.

694
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I think they kind of run out

695
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 8: of leeway. You know, in terms of Zach Taylor being back,

696
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 8: everything being together, you know that that defense is the problem,

697
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 8: and it was in twenty four and they really didn't

698
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 8: address it him and they brought in a new coordinator,

699
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 8: but it's not really added a whole lot. I mean,

700
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 8: what's bad for them is that the biggest thing that's

701
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 8: going to change on their defense this year is probably

702
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 8: Trey Henderson go on elsewhere, so you take him off

703
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 8: the front, you know, I think they have to kind

704
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 8: of adjust their resources. And as talented as that offense is,

705
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 8: they need their defense to hold people under thirty points

706
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 8: a game. You know, it's one of those where there's

707
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 8: there's just a lot of thirty five to thirty five,

708
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 8: thirty eight, thirty five losses that franchise has to deal with.

709
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 8: There's no doubt that Burrow and Chase and Higgins are

710
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 8: the best one, you know, best passing one two combo

711
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 8: in the league. But it does, you know good if

712
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 8: your defense can't hold the opponent's under thirty five. So

713
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 8: my whole thing with them is if it's just going

714
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 8: to be the same thing for a third straight year,

715
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 8: if they don't go out and actively change their defense.

716
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there's a line in the movie Taken where

717
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: he says, good luck, good luck, because that's been bad

718
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: defensively for so long.

719
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Rob and I talk about it every week.

720
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: They got us stop you from scoring fifty in order

721
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: to win the apse score fifty one.

00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: Okay, sound about right in Dallas. And I'm gonna go

781
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: with the Lakers, the rail win Lakers. How about that

782
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 2: minus five and a half taking on the Phoenix Suns.

783
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 5: So the Lakers minus five and a half, the Maverige

784
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 5: minus seven and a half, and the trail Blazers minus

785
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 5: four and a half.

786
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: Okay, And remember, Kelvin, I'm not telling you who to

787
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: bet on. I'm telling you who I bet on. Laker girls.

788
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 2: All right, you got the Lakers there, they'd be interested

789
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 2: to see how they come out. Too.

790
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: Just you know, last four to eight hours or so,

791
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: all the scrutiny Lucas should have shot it. Did Lebron

792
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: throw them under the bus? Did Luca put Lebron under

793
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: the bus?

794
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: All that?

795
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: Now you got DeAndre Ayton coming out. We'll talk about

796
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: that a little bit more tomorrow. But yeah, it's gonna

797
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: be an interesting game to watch with the Lakers, just

798
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: because as we get closer and closer winding down the season,

799
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta find a way to tighten it up.

800
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: And even if you have a two percent chance of

801
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: winning the championship, this is it. This is the run

802
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: to get better, to get that continuity, because again, they

803
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: haven't had a long time to play together. They have

804
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: only had I think it's twelve games now that they're

805
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Big three, if you will, have been able to play together.

806
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how they look tonight

807
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: as their favorite five five and a half. I think

808
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: you said five and a half, ye you, mister baseball.

809
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little the other team in LA,

810
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: not the Dodgers and their owner.

811
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 5: Any Moreno, I just like if you're Major League Baseball,

812
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 5: if you're the commissioner, you've had enough You're just like,

813
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 5: what are you saying that, fans?

814
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 2: That's not only on the top of it. It's about winning.

815
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 5: It's about great parking and concessions and security at the

816
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 5: ball dude. Come on, nobody wants to go to a

817
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 5: game for all that and their team loses every night.

818
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 5: People want they want to feel you know, you feel good.

819
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 5: You know what sports is the ultimate. You see people

820
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 5: when their team win. You don't think they walk into

821
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 5: work the next day feel a little different.

822
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 4: Man.

823
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: We saw the Chicago Bears fans and negative twenty seven degree,

824
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: whether they're going high and tears, freezing in their face,

825
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: having a good time because they wanted to if they

826
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: won the game. You know, I'll add to that too.

827
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: First off, that's a cop out to say we ain't

828
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: winning nothing, so hey, our fans want to enjoy this.

829
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: And I do believe there's an element of, like, especially

830
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: in baseball, you know this, because there's so many games,

831
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: there is an element of what if we want to

832
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: do with the kids today, Let's get you know, let's

833
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: get little Keisha and Johnny out tonight and let's game

834
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: and you know, get out. It's an expensive that whole thing,

835
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: but Manzi you know this. You're always set the Dodgers

836
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: you as well.

837
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 2: Rob.

838
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: The one of the things that makes it great is

839
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: because you're going to see great baseball, and you're going

840
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: to see a great occurrence you might never see. Man,

841
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: I went to this game and show Head three home

842
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: runs and he pitched five scoreless innings. You're going to

843
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: see great. Just going to see a game that's gonna win,

844
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: you feel pride. So all of that adds so to

845
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: his point of if it's parking might be a little expensive,

846
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: or this, that and the other. If you're going to

847
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: see high caliber things, who's your favorite artist right now?

848

00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: a pretty I worse, and I still went because you

854
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get experienced people. People are livering giving

863
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: You don't mind paying a pretty penny because you're going

864
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: to see a great experience, greatness and so yeah, the

865
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: idea that hey we're gonna suck, but we're making it

866
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: expensive for you, it's like, come on, you can can

Speaker 1: You had Mike Trout and show Hal Tany together for years.

870
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: But one thing I will say, though.

871
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: Raph they do. They are getting carried away with parking

872
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: at games. Parking.

873
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: Where else am I gonna park? When you go to

874
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: whatever the arena or the reverse state, I have no choice?

875
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: But the park here? Why is it seventy five, one

876
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: hundred hundred and twenty five dollars? Like parking has absolutely

877
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: got out online in sports like that's the one I'm

878
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:01,120

00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 2: but we got to RelA.

881
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 5: No, it's just basically, when you parked your car, you

882
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 5: get out and you put your hands on it. Really

883
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,000
