We didn't really get a chance 31 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: to so interesting conversation that Jokic leads perfectly into. So 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: the conversation was basically around when Scheffler wins again, he 33 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: wins another tournament. They started to look at some of 34 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: the Scott Scheffler the numbers and he's on pace right now. Again, 35 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: this sounds crazy saying out loud, but some of the 36 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: stuff he's doing is the same timeline as Tiger Woods 37 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: once he's got started winning, and the rate in which 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: he was winning some big tournaments. 39 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: And so it's like the same thing as Shane Mahomes 40 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: is on a Brady track. There's a long way to go, 41 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: but you got ignowledge the effects he is, and so 42 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: Jordan Speith, who was that guy for a hot year 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: or two, talked about that. He said, look, man, he 44 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: doesn't like to kind of embrace that. You know, you're 45 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: the man, the Mantle jors, you know, big up the 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: league he's written. And within the week before that, I 47 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: think you and I talked about that with Scotty Scheffer talking, 48 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 3: Hey man, I just kind of want to golf. 49 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: His bigger things. My family matters. You know, I have 50 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: things that I care about. I want to be good. 51 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: I work hard at it. I'm a niacole about that. 52 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day those this isn't 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: as fulfilling me winning the Masters as you know, being 54 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: home and there's other things that fulfill my life. Sure, 55 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: So Jordan Speed kind of echoed those sentiments about his 56 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: friend Scotty. Scotty Chefley said, I'm with him. I know 57 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: how he is, I know how he operates. And it 58 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: tied us into what just happened over the weekend as 59 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: Nicoleokin superstar in the NBA, is once again a champ. 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: That's because he is a horse owner. We all know that. 61 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: At racing event in his native of Serbia where his 62 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: horse is the winner, and the funny memes, funny jokes, 63 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: all the stuff came out of it because everybody was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, 64 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: wait wait, this man has got the biggest bottle of champagne, 65 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: spreading it on the horse, going crazy, spraying himself and 66 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: high five and a couple of years back on the 67 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: NBA title and was like, yeah, that's cool, cool, yeah, no, no, 68 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. Yeah, I'm excited. Woa yeah, wait, 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: can't wait to get back to my horses. Now we 70 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: see you win his horses and they win, and he 71 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: was excited, and so he was going crazy, and it 72 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: got me to thinking. And this is why I said, 73 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: we'll take some phone calls on this one too, Martin. 74 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: Do you feel that the superstar or the head of 75 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: a league or a you know, franchise or a sporting event, whatever, 76 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: is obligated to kind of take on that mantle. He's 77 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: so here's what I mean. Golf has been looking for 78 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: their tiger Woods. Remember he was really bad for a 79 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: while then he kind of popped back up twenty nineteen 80 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: is but they were looking is it Jordan's speed? Is 81 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: it gonna be Roy maclroy, He's gonna be who is 82 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: and then oh hey, caim me, Scotty Shuff and Scotti 83 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: Scheffer kind of saying, no, I want to be good, 84 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: but I don't want all of that. I don't want 85 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: this to be my life. I enjoyed fulfillment Elsewhere. We 86 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: go to the NBA, who's the best player, most people 87 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: will say Nakole okicch for the hand last handful of years. 88 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: We know he ain't trying to embrace all that that 89 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: comes with that. He's just kind of I want to 90 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: be really good. I want to try to win with 91 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: my team and go home and race horses, and now 92 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: I have champion horses. Naomi Issaka Hers is a little different, 93 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: you know. She was she was getting right there to 94 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: kind of be the new face of tennis, and she 95 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: stepped back. She knows very vocal about her challenges and 96 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: mental health, and then she became a mother as well. 97 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: Uh so she she's kind of didn't that just didn't 98 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: work out. So I say all that to say, do 99 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: you believe that you have to be that? If you're 100 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: Mike Trout, A lot of people wanted more from him 101 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: when he was kind of the guy more from me, more, 102 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: be more vocal, do more. You're Mike Trumt. You arguably 103 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: be one of the best of her. We want more 104 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: from you. And when I thought about this, to me, 105 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: there's a few things that kind of have to have happen. 106 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't think you can manufacture it. I think some 107 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: things just happen, whether it's fate, whether it's God, whether 108 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: it's just you know, you embraced it in the league. 109 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: And then timing of things. I'll give you a couple examples, 110 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: and then I want you to jump in on this. 111 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: The NBA is flailing. We got stars, but we don't 112 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: have a face of it. I don't know what's going on. 113 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: We got Kareem, we got this person, we got all 114 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: these big star George Gervirett. It ain't really working well. 115 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: Then you get Magic, Then you get Larry Bird. Two 116 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: guys who couldn't be in a different ones kind of 117 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: to himself and the other lou smiling, wants to be 118 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: the life of the party. One goes to Boston, hardworking, 119 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: blue collar on the East coast. One goes to the 120 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: West coast, Hollywood. And you got these two guys, different personalities, 121 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: different ends of the coast, different you know, styles, one 122 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: more of a passer, one's more of a score, and 123 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: it ended up being the greatest thing that could have 124 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: ever happened to the NBA. You couldn't oh, I lef 125 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: about the headline. They just played in the biggest national 126 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: championship game. Will never see numbers like that again, thirty 127 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: some bi million people watching. So you have that happen. 128 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: And then you look at guys Lebron. His name is 129 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 1: James King, James, he's a chosen one. He's from Akron, 130 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: right near Cleveland, who has a number one pick Cleveland. 131 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: We don't know how to happen. But my point is 132 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: it just happens, and he happens to be good, and 133 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: now you got the guy facing the league. I think 134 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: things have to sometimes you can't just force it. There 135 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: has to be storylines. Tiger Woods is a person of color. 136 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: He's black, he's the Asians. This he has a story, 137 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: he has an interesting name. He's Tiger. He's doing stuff 138 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: we hadn't seen. He's aggressive, he's fist pump, and he's 139 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: fiery out there. You can't design that, you can't force that. 140 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: So I believe you can't force a Scheffler if he 141 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: doesn't want it, and Naomi Osaka she's kind of going 142 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: through mental health things in motherhood. Jokis he kind of 143 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: just doesn't have it. And for the NBA like that, 144 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: I don't believe you can force it. I think things 145 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: just happen where your face, your star, the person takes 146 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: the league by storm and we all watch and enjoy it. 147 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 3: I mean, it's absolutely what happens is generally there will 148 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 3: be some mark or moment of firestorm. And you think 149 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: back to the last person who generated this type of feeling, 150 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: and it was Kaitlin Clark and Angel Reese. It was 151 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: the moment if you go back to the beginning of 152 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: this of when this became transcended just women's basketball to 153 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: now becoming a national story, and it was when Angel 154 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: rees and LSU and bounced Caitlin Clark out of the tournament. 155 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: She did the Aaron Donald ring me move, and all 156 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: of a sudden, Joe Biden is, maybe should we should 157 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: invite the losers to the White House is and the 158 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 3: winners because everybody tried, right, like, that's now time. Ever, 159 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: right now it becomes this whole big discussion, right, so 160 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 3: there's a flashpoint moment. 161 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 4: I got like Jokic the thing that I honestly I 162 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 4: kind of resent. 163 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: Because if it is true that this is the case, 164 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: then these people are just God was cheating when he 165 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: made them compared to me. But I don't think you 166 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: can be as good at basketball as Jokich is, are 167 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: as good at golf as Scotty Scheffler is, especially as 168 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: good as golf individually as Scotty Scheffler is, to and 169 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: not have an intense and insane level of dedication drive 170 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: motivation for sure, right that doesn't exist. You cannot get 171 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: that good without having that because just the drive to 172 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 3: get up and do it again and again and again, 173 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 3: and that is repetition that gets you to be able 174 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: to get to that level. 175 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: So I think Scotty. 176 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 3: Scotty's statement is more, do I want to put in 177 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 3: the time it takes for me to be as consistently 178 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 3: great as I am in this while like my kid 179 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: is taking his first steps, Like that's a real thing, 180 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 3: especially for a guy who's. 181 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 4: Won that much. 182 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: But for Jokic, I think that we just downplay the idea, like, yeah, 183 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 3: he looked really happy, he looked really really happy, and 184 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: he was celebrating, but you know what, he also didn't 185 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: do he wasn't fresh off of one hundred some odd 186 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: bas basketball games of getting his ass kicked. You watch 187 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: Jokis look like one of them from the last to 188 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: us after a game, because he looked like he's about 189 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 3: to turn right like or like he was fighting off 190 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 3: a werewolf instead of it. 191 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: Was just the seven players are using to defend him. 192 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: So like, yeah, maybe after the finals he's like, I'm 193 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 3: tired of hell man, And you know what, maybe the 194 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 3: NBA is not the biggest deal for him. I bet 195 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 3: you if he said this to Yo kid, said listen 196 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: all your MVPs, I'll spot to another championship in the NBA, 197 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 3: would you trade them off for a gold medal for Serbia? 198 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 3: You watch that start and five documentary on Netflix. I 199 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 3: bet you, and he'd do it in a heartbeat. Wouldn't 200 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 3: think twice, wouldn't blink twice? 201 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. 202 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 3: So he has a intense level of passion and desire. 203 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 3: But it's also too like you can have fun doing 204 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 3: other things without a doubt. And I think too, you 205 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: brought to a great point. 206 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: I think there's something to we kind of we get 207 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: into it with when we have our Olympic teams and whatever. 208 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: They don't care the sport. We all get into it 209 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: and we don't care about Typically, we don't care about 210 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: swimming till it's the limp. Typically we don't care about 211 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: track and feel like that until the Olympics, so on 212 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: and so forth. But I do feel like other countries 213 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: we forget they're kind of working here. They get a 214 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: visa to come work, but really home is home for 215 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: them if you give it. I mean, like Luca's here, 216 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: he's in La He's in Hollywood, but this ain't home. 217 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: Lithuania is home for him. Serbia is home for Yokich, 218 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 1: you know, you name the player. Home is home. I 219 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: got a second home here, I got a nice crib. 220 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: Maybe I met my wife here, I met my girlfriend. 221 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: But home is home. And I think sometimes we forget 222 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: for these players. They're spending so much time away from Grandma, 223 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: sure her mom, from my favorite uncle, for my best 224 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: friend who couldn't come with me because he's got his 225 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: own family back in Serbia or back in Argentina, or 226 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: back in Germany or back in Cameroon. And I think, 227 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: so it's not that I don't care, and not that 228 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: I'm not all in, but you just mentioned it. That's 229 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: why those France teams have so much pride, like I 230 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: love it here, but France is home, you know, And 231 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: when they get to those international games, they're like, man, 232 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: this is my guys, just for the country. I'm all in. 233 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: And I think we sometimes forget like, no, you're in NBA, 234 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: this better be the greatest and the biggest thing in 235 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: your life. And you're like, yo, man, basketball is I 236 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: love the game, but I'm away from home for so long. 237 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: And I think we sometimes forget that and can understand that. 238 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: And there's a real pride of country, a real patriotism 239 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 3: from their individual countries. You think you think Team Slovenia 240 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: left weights. You think maybe if you caught Luke on 241 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 3: the Olympic year, he might work out in the offseason. 242 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: Well maybe you'd hope. You hope, so you hope. Because 243 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: that's the thing about jokis, like, seriously, when people kind 244 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 3: of say he doesn't like you've seen him now, has 245 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 3: his body improved? I'm not. 246 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit here and say that. 247 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: He you know, looks like Anthony Edwards without a jersey on, right, 248 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 3: But you can watch him run up and down the court. 249 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: You can watch him not get tired. 250 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 3: You can watch him play forty five minutes in a 251 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: double overtime game, and he he's got He's the one 252 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: with the gas left right. You can watch, you're seeing that, 253 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: and so it's like, yeah, he loves, he loves, he 254 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: loves the game. Got a doubt, but like it's a 255 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 3: lot more fun racing horses and drinking champagne and being 256 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: with your fans being hit. 257 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: Then you're got you man, Hey, let's open this up. 258 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

So One, the league doesn't pay Yokics, right 436 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 11: Denver does. Do you think Denver wants their money back? 437 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 11: I don't particularly think they do. He brought them a championship. 438 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 11: He's a fantastic player. I think they think it's worth 439 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 11: it the tending. The second thing, here's what I think. 440 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 11: I think jokicch and Scheffler and these guys are doing 441 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 11: society and us a favor by showing you can be 442 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 11: great and still go home and have a life no matter. 443 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 8: I think. 444 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 11: I think you can't say winning is everything and then 445 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 11: get mad at the Houston Astros when they do what 446 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 11: they do. So these guys that play with integrity, play 447 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 11: with heart, and then have stuff they care about that 448 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 11: they can go home to. 449 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 5: I think it's a huge example and in a great favor. They' 450 00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 5: didn't force love. 451 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: A GreatCall, Isaac. I appreciate it, man.

You had 530 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: some flashbacks there. Let's let's get into this. 531 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 9: Man. 532 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: Is there so much going on now that we're in 533 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: training camp. There's you know, a few different headlines, a 534 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: few different stories there. I would have start with one. 535 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: We were talking a little bit earlier about this with 536 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and what's going on there in Chicago. They're excited, right, 537 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: they got their guy. Now they have offensive Guru and 538 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. Just tell me about how when you get 539 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: a new coach, when you get a guy with a 540 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 1: new different philosophy, a new mindset, a new approach, how 541 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: difficult is it? What's the adjustment like going to be 542 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: like for the team? And as they're trying to he's 543 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: trying to adjustice them, but they're also trying to adjust 544 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: to him. And we see how timing and how unique 545 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: and special his offense is watching them his time with 546 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 1: the Lions. 547 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, I mean I think expectations are going to 548 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 5: definitely go up. You think about Caleb in his second year, 549 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 5: you think about Chicago and polls, what he's done with 550 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 5: the personnel on that roster. Now you bring in Ben Johnson, 551 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 5: the hottest coach candidate that was out there, expectations is 552 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 5: going to go up. You know, he's familiar with the 553 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 5: division obviously being in Detroit, and I think for Caleb, 554 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 5: he just needs to make sure that he's comfortable with 555 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 5: what he's doing out there, understanding the expectations, which I mean, look, 556 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 5: he's coming from SCD. He had high expectations out there 557 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 5: as well, but now you got to calm yourself down. 558 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 5: You got to make sure you understand this offmans. She's 559 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 5: got to make sure you can execute this offense. And 560 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 5: same thing with Ben Johnson. I mean, he's got to 561 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 5: establish that credibility that he had in Detroit. You know, 562 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 5: it's the new locker room and these guys are looking 563 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 5: up to him. Certainly he was coveted, but at the 564 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 5: same time, he's got to earn that credibility. In that 565 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 5: locker room, and so once he does that, I think 566 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 5: it all comes together. So training camp is that's what 567 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 5: it's all about, Fellas. I mean, you got to get 568 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 5: that continuity going, and he's certainly that trust, but more 569 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 5: importantly the credibility and respect that you deserve out there 570 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 5: or that you earn that that's needed on game day. 571 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 3: Mike, now Mike Pritchell joining us on ahigh couple Martin 572 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 3: Wis and for Rob Parker with Kelvin Washington. Mike, you 573 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 3: had a nine year career, played for three different teams, 574 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 3: so I imagine at some point you ran into this 575 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 3: scenario having a first year head coach or seeing first 576 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 3: year even coordinators or even a position coaches that our 577 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 3: first time on the job. And I don't I put 578 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 3: it like this. I have no experience. I've never played 579 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: in the NFL. Nobody ever wanted me to play sports 580 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 3: worth the damn at all. So my only context of 581 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: training camp is the reports that I read and the 582 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 3: things that I hear coming out, and that's how I 583 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 3: contextualize it all. I was a little like, huh when 584 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: I found out that Ben Johnson pulled the first team 585 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 3: offense off the field, day one talking about that respect 586 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 3: and kind of building that accountability like it to me 587 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 3: felt like something that I put it in my file. 588 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm putting every like. I don't 589 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: know how big the file is going to be. But 590 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: week four, if Ben. 591 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 3: Johnson is not saying like they lose a game something 592 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 3: like that, and he's not like, yo, this is my bad, 593 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna remember that he pulled the team off the 594 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: field week one day one training camp. 595 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 4: Am I over Am I over doing that? 596 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 5: Or no, no you're not. You know, like I said, 597 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 5: you know, he's coming from an environment where you know 598 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,239 Speaker 5: they were they were bite kneecats right here in Detroit, right, 599 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 5: I mean, the head coach was wound up. And that's 600 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 5: what Ben Johnson knows. You know, in Chicago, you're leaving 601 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 5: eber Flusen now you're going to this. And so there's 602 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 5: gonna be a transition from what Ben Johnson's used to 603 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 5: from a coaching standpoint to what he's trying to establish. 604 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 5: Now I get it. He's trying to establish a certain mindset, 605 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 5: a certain expectation, like we just talked about. But it's 606 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 5: going to take some time. You can't just automatically go 607 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 5: to ten on a new group of fellas in the 608 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 5: locker room that are professionals that are getting highly paid 609 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 5: as well. So you're right. I mean, I think there's 610 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 5: always that transition. And I'll give you a quick story 611 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 5: about it. You know, I'm leaving, I'm in Seattle, and 612 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 5: we're leaving from Dennis Erickson, who won a national championship 613 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 5: in college, certainly, but didn't really get the job done 614 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 5: up there in Seattle. And then here comes Mike Homegren. 615 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 5: And so this first thing you do when you see 616 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 5: Mike Homegren walk into the locker room or to the 617 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 5: meeting room, is you get to the edge of your seat. 618 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 5: You're sitting up. You don't want any doubt in his 619 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 5: mind that you are not paying attention, because that guy 620 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 5: has done it. He's got the credibility. He's won Super Bowl, right, 621 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 5: He's coached at the highest level, he's coached everywhere, all 622 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 5: these legends, and so now you are part of that, 623 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 5: and you want to make sure that you give that 624 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 5: to him, that you understand what his expectations are. So 625 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 5: if you're Johnson, you still have to weigh what that 626 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 5: locker room is like before you get the level ten 627 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 5: on him and pull them off the field. Right, You 628 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 5: got to find out what everybody's about. So I hope 629 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 5: he does that. I hope he takes the time to 630 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 5: do that, or we're gonna run into a situation where 631 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 5: we see those head coaches that are just that are 632 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 5: just amped up on the sideline to emotional, have risks 633 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 5: with their players and certainly can't get along and they 634 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 5: don't respect them. And I don't care how good you 635 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 5: are with the x's and o's, if you can't get 636 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 5: guys to execute, it doesn't matter. 637 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: He is Mike Fritch Richard. He is joining the odd couple. 638 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: He was former receiver in the league, NFL analyst. Now 639 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: he's covering and I want to ask you a little 640 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: bit about this one. Help me understand Shador Sanders fifth 641 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: round pick, first second round, mavy third round prospect and 642 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: talent wise and was ahead of a handful of the 643 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that were taking above him. But he goes to 644 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: a place with a crowded quarterback room in the Browns. 645 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Now we know, of course, Kenny Prickett is injured and 646 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: pulled hamstring issues over Saturday, Joe Flacco getting all the 647 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: first round, first team reps today, What do you make 648 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: of this situation where he hasn't He's been the only 649 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: one in Shoulder who hasn't gotten any first round, first 650 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: team reps. They're talking about they might only carry three quarterbacks, 651 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: which he could be the eye man out. But from 652 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: everything we've heard, he's doing outstanding eighty percent of his 653 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: passes barely you know, I think, no income, barely any incompletions, interceptions, 654 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: all of that. He's been saying the right things publicly. 655 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: What aren't they seeing from him? Or as a matter 656 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: of just simply you are a fifth round pick and 657 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. 658 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean I think there's a hierarchy, if 659 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 5: you will, with Cleveland and what they're trying to do. 660 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 5: I mean they still got Shaun Watson whatever his situation 661 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 5: is going to be, and then Flacco with familiarity certainly 662 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 5: there as well, and then Pickett. I mean Pickett is 663 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 5: in a situation where he's trying to prove himself, and 664 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 5: then you draft Shuder and Gabriel. So it is crowded, 665 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 5: you know what those fellas. Every locker room is crowded. 666 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,479 Speaker 5: I think if you're drafted higher up, you probably get 667 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 5: the benefit of the doubt. But I'll remind you. I'll 668 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 5: remind you Atlanta drafted Brett Favre in the second round, 669 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 5: and Brett fav sat behind Chris Miller and Billy Till, 670 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 5: Tulliver right and and some others. You know, he was 671 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 5: way down there on the depth chart in Atlanta. Now 672 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 5: it didn't matter because obviously he got out of there 673 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: and the rest is history when he got another opportunity 674 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 5: with Green Bay. So I'm not saying Chador's book is 675 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 5: all in Cleveland. I mean, I think Shadoor can find 676 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 5: himself in another situation. But what he needs to do 677 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 5: is learn how to be a pro, understand the situation 678 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 5: that he's in, and I prove everybody wrong, you know, 679 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 5: And I'll say it this way too, fellas. I think 680 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 5: with Deshaun Watson's health history, with Flacco's age, Pickett already 681 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 5: banged up with a hamstring, I mean, the chances of 682 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 5: Shador Sanders playing in Cleveland sooner than later, I think 683 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 5: are pretty good. We'll see. I mean, it's a long 684 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 5: camp just started, it's a long year. He's got to 685 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 5: win the job. He's got to earn the job. And 686 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 5: if he does. I mean, I think his upside is tremendous. 687 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 5: To be honest with you, guys, I agree. 688 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't. Again, I've been shocked that he went that far, 689 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: and I've been telling him I don't see why they 690 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: don't put him higher up. You already know Joe flackoways 691 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: he ain't your future. Can't you pick it? I don't think. 692 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 4: I think it's something that they just do it now. 693 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 3: It'll be the biggest news story of the day in July. 694 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 3: And it's like, I get that's why they probably don't. 695 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 3: But I got one more for you, Pritch, I want 696 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 3: to ask you. I know the Steelers didn't have training 697 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 3: camp today because Cordell Patterson said he got released on 698 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 3: his day off, so Aaron Rodgers probably also had the 699 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,719 Speaker 3: day off. But we're just that's kind of like one 700 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 3: of the feel good stories of camp right now. You know, 701 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 3: as we are in that first couple of days of camp, 702 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 3: how Aaron Rodgers looks on the ball at Pittsburgh. 703 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,479 Speaker 4: How do you think it ends in Pittsburgh this season 704 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 4: with the addition of Rodgers. This is a dk Metcalf 705 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 4: and Jayalen Ramsey. 706 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 5: I mean, Aaron Rodgers is supposed to look good throwing football, right, 707 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 5: I mean, he's a legendary quarterback. But but the results 708 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 5: have not been what teams have wanted from Aaron Rodgers, 709 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 5: in particular with the Jets. I mean, now he finds 710 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 5: himself in Pittsburgh, and I can't I'm not going to 711 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 5: try to predict the future this but this could be 712 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 5: tomlins last year there. I mean there's a lot of 713 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 5: age on that roster too, so you're you're looking at 714 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 5: a team that is formed with players with some big names. 715 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 5: But yet in Pittsburgh, you know, you're always talking about 716 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 5: the playoffs, You're always talking about winning that division. So 717 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 5: I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know 718 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 5: how to look at Aaron right now, a rod and 719 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 5: see what he's doing. And you know, I love the 720 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 5: pair up certainly with DK and I love the fact 721 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 5: that they seemingly have the players that they want. But 722 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 5: they are old. Uh but so is Baltimore though, you 723 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 5: know all those other teams and anyway, we just talked 724 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 5: about Cleveland in the situation right there. So if Aaron 725 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 5: Rodgers can turn back time and be consistent, get along 726 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 5: with the fellas in the locker room the way that 727 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 5: he needs to. Uh, there could be some magic out 728 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 5: there in Pittsburgh. I do know somebody put on a 729 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 5: big bet. This came through X that somebody threw down 730 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 5: ten thousand dollars on Pittsburgh to win the Super Bowl. 731 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 5: So there's some people out there that believe in the 732 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 5: Steelers and we'll see how the season goes. 733 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: Though you didn't have to call Rob Parker out. You 734 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: don't have to call him out. Parker. We knew it. 735 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: We was gonna keep a secret, you know what I mean. 736 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: Then you brought it up there, Mike. We appreciate you, man, 737 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: thank you for your time. 738 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 5: Hey, I appreciate you guys. 739 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: I can't believe. Actually, I'm mad. I can't believe he 740 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: put the Steelers up there with the Ravens. You talk 741 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: about one team that's going to in like thirteen games, 742 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: one that I don't things I'll make the playoffs. 743 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 3: I think he was referencing the fact they're in the 744 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 3: same division. No more those I didn't put it in. 745 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 3: I'm mad at Pittsburgh right now.
