Speaker 2: Are you ready for a big haul today? Because I

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: gotta say this at the top. Yesterday we talked to

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan, our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider. We keep

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 2: targeting Wednesday, right, that's sort of like the free agency,

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 2: you know, the day that you have to get all

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: the cap numbers in place before you venture. And he said,

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: by Wednesday, we're o we're gonna have at least twenty

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: major deals done publicly stated. So really it's going to

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: be starting tomorrow, Richie, and we are going to have

18
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: all kinds.

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: Of big stories about big deals done.

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 2: In fact, we already had big stories starting off today, yes.

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: Sir, Yeah, Well, I mean when you look around the NFL,

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: what it's become in the offseason is what the NBA was.

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 4: The NBA, once upon a time was the most fun

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 4: at the trade deadline and at the open up free agency.

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: And I think the NFL always sort of looked on

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: with a certain level of jealousy, like how can we

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: get buzz around our game that NBA has around their game.

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 4: And the way they figured it out was almost accidental.

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 4: It was through fantasy football. Now everybody knows everybody.

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 5: You know.

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: People know players like I'll know the third receiver in

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: the middle of the season on the New York Jets

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: or the Jacksonville Jaguars because it's important to building my

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: roster on my fantasy football team. So that's the reason

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: why all the sudden free agency and the trade deadline

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: in the NFL matches that out of the NBA now

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: because we know who all these players are and there's

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: a lot of players moving teams.

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: All right, So big stories already today, Let's start off

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: with one of the big stories, and this one just

41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: put an exclamation mark next to the disaster that was

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick post Tom Brady with the New England Patriots

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: as a trade the former first round draft pick quarterback

44
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They got a guy

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: named Trevor Lawrence there, so I guess he's going to

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: be a backup for a.

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 3: Sixth round pick.

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: Now again, when you look at mac jones rookie year,

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: he made the Pro Bowl as an alternate that year,

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: was runner up for Offensive Rookie of the Year, led

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: the Patriots into the postseason. The two following years, the

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: steep decline in his production, the destruction of his mental game,

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: you could just see it. They had absolutely ruined a

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: quarterback that showed a great deal of promise as a

55
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: rookie coming off of fabulous senior year at Alabama, destroyed

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: his psyche. I don't know if he'll ever get it back,

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: but this is another move by the Patrons. By the way,

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: I applaud what the Patriots had done. There's no reason

59
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: to hang on to mac Jones. You got the third

60
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: overall pick right now, pro Jacksons are Drake may is

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: going to be a new England Patriot. Maybe they're going

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: to go in a different direction. I don't know if

63
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: free agency will get into that down the road, but

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: it is clear that they are going to have to

65
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: rid themselves from as much stench as this organization has

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: been heaped upon over the last three to four years.

67
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Because Rich, honestly, you look at the overall roster of

68
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: this new England Patriots team. Yes, they have some defensive

69
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: players in place, but their overall roster right now is

70
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: one of the weakest in the NFL, and that solely

71
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: sits on the lap of Bill Belichick because he was

72
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: making all the personnel moves. Now, this does not take

73
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: away anything that Belichick did up until that time. He's

74
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: on the mount rushmore great NFL coaches. But the same

75
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: thing with my old boss, Al Davis. Right the last

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: ten years that Al was the general manager of the

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: team were disastrous years. Does that undo the forty years

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: before that? Know that that's our last impression that he

79
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: had completely lost it And unfortunately for the Patriot organization

80
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: as they try to put the pieces back together, this

81
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: is where they are right now, and it's courtesy of

82
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick.

83
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 4: Well, I look, I'm going to offer argument because I

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: think not enough people pay attention to the defensive side

85
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 4: of the ball when they're evaluating personnel. We get so

86
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: trapped talking offense constantly that really I mean in some ways,

87
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: it's a little bit easier to construct a better offensive

88
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 4: team than it is defensive team because the differences and

89
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: the I guess you could say the philosophical differences defensively

90
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: are more vast than they are offensively, and the differences

91
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 4: player to player can be more subtle. But they have

92
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: one personnel to personnel. They have one of the better

93
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 4: defenses in the league.

94
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 5: Now.

95
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: They had a lot of injuries last year. Christian or

96
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 4: what was his name, Chris Gonzalez, he got injured to

97
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 4: start this season. They didn't have one of their pass

98
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: rushers for the entirety of the season, so they were

99
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: down really quick on that side of the ball. And

100
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: I think that's the reason why their record ended up

101
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: being their record, because they're really relying on that defense

102
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: obviously because offense was so woeful to get them through

103
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 4: that season. But moving forward, Yeah, I want to just

104
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: evaluate mac Jones for two reasons, or two sides of

105
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 4: the coin. I want to look at it from a

106
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: Patriots side and a Jacksonville Jaguars side. The Patriots side,

107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: it's obvious his play pressed over the second two years

108
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 4: of his time in New England. He was regressing for sure,

109
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: and blame it on whatever you want. Blame it on

110
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: offensive turnover in terms of the coaching staff decisions that

111
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick made, et cetera, et cetera. He just he

112
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 4: wasn't heading in the right direction. So I think trading

113
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 4: him and getting value for him is impressive.

114
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: Is this a six round pick value?

115
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 5: They got a six round pick?

116
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: I mean, guy, that was a first round pick two

117
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: years ago.

118
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, anybody who knows football should not

119
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: be turning their nose up at a six round pick,

120
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 4: especially knowing that we're talking about the New England Patriots.

121
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 5: Tom Brady was a six round pick.

122
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so they're hanging on to that for a long time.

123
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: Rich well, when you would.

124
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 5: Because he's the greatest quarterback of all time.

125
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: Now, I'm not saying they got appropriate value for a

126
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: fifteenth overall selection. Like I said, he had regressed to

127
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 4: the point where you needed to get rid of him.

128
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 4: So on that side of the coin, good job getting

129
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: any value for Mike for Mac Jones. Now for Jones

130
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 4: to Jacksonville, that's his hometown, grew up there, played football

131
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 4: there in high school. So he gets to go back

132
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: to a place he's familiar, with good for Doug Peterson

133
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: to look at the scouting report and say, hey, you know,

134
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: for a guy who's really struggled, maybe coming back home

135
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: will help him. And then on top of it, Doug

136
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: Peterson as a head coach knows how important backup quarterbacks

137
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: can be. We were just talking about Tom Brady. He

138
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: beat Tom Brady with a backup quarterback in the Super

139
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: Bowl when Nick Foles and the Philly Special helped take

140
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: down the Patriots and slay the Dragons. So I think

141
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: this is probably the best case of a worst case scenario.

142
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: The Patriots got some value for him, and the Jacksonville

143
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: Jaguars got a project and to compete with CJ.

144
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 5: Bethard, who's their current backup quarterback.

145
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: So the other big story today, and again we got

146
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: much more as far as more of these teams are

147
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 2: going to go over the course of the show today.

148
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: With all the penning, free agency, the draft and everything else,

149
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: a lot of pieces that are going to be moving

150
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: around quickly over the next few days. But the guy

151
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: that was projected to be the number one free agent

152
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: on the market is no longer a free agent, and

153
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: that is Chris Jones, the future Hall of Fame defensive

154
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: tackle of the Kansas City Chiefs. They wisely finally gave

155
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: him the money that he richly deserves, ninety five million

156
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: guaranteed over the next three years. Rich he has now

157
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: got the most guaranteed money of any defensive lineman in

158
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: the NFL, and he's earned it. I mean, the guy's

159
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: made five straight Pro Bowls, by the way, he's played

160
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: eight years of the Chiefs, They've won eight straight AFC

161
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: West Championships, First Team All Pro the last two years.

162
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: He's an interior lineman that has led his team in

163
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: sacks six straight years. So much like an Aaron Donald

164
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 2: who just dominates from the interior of the defensive front,

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: Chris Jones has done the same. This guy's going to

166
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: be in the Hall of Fame someday. And after his holdout,

167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: Remembery missed the first game of the year because of

168
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: that holdout, they got a little interim one year deal

169
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: and he responded with another monster season for this team.

170
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: Because as great as Mahomes is, this defense carried the

171
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs for the majority of the season. Now, once you

172
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: get to the postseason, that's where Mahomes steps up and

173
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: gets you across the finish line. But there's no doubt

174
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: the defense was the dominant force with the Chiefs in

175
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three and he was in the middle of that.

176
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: So a notoriously cheap outfit the Kansas City Chiefs. Remember,

177
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: the Players Association ranked him near the bottom in terms

178
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: of taking care of their players. Wisely, Anni up and

179
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: you talk about money well spent, it certainly goes that way.

180
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: With this new five year contact to contract to Chris Jones.

181
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, no question about it.

182
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: Every penny earned on that deal, especially this season, a

183
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: contract year for him, as was last year, by the way,

184
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: when they renegotiated and gave him this incentive laden contract

185
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 4: this offseason just to get him on the field, you know,

186
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 4: understanding how valuable he was, but not just from not value,

187
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 4: just from the standpoint of all those sacks and all

188
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: the amazing work that he does up front, some of

189
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 4: the garbage man type work that you wouldn't see unless

190
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 4: he was gone. Like I always compare defensive lineman, interior

191
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: defensive lineman, interior offensive linemen to garbage men, because in

192
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 4: our cities and our municipalities, our counties around this country,

193
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: nobody notices the garbage man until he skips a couple

194
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: of weeks and all of a sudden, the trash starts

195
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: piling up and you go, oh, this stinks. Well, trust me,

196
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: when you have a poor interior defensive line or a

197
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: poor interior offensive line, the garbage piles up awfully quick

198
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: and you have a stinking offense or a bad defense.

199
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: And so Chris Jones does all of that work, plus

200
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 4: he shines in the pass rush game. He's an incredible

201
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 4: athlete for a man who plays that position, which gives

202
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: you that first piece of value, which is he's going

203
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 4: to take care of his body. This is a twenty

204
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: nine year old man who just signed a five year

205
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: deal and you're giving him a lot of money up front.

206
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 4: This equates to me to really, from a cap hit standpoint,

207
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 4: be only really a three year deal. They'll probably either

208
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,479
Speaker 4: be renegotiating or restructuring down the stretch of this contract.

209
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: So if he can get you to age thirty two healthy,

210
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: you're in good shape. And I think he will because

211
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 4: he takes care of his body. Second part about this,

212
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: obviously the on field impact. It can't be overstated how

213
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 4: important he was especially this year. Third thing, his leadership.

214
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 4: If you've watched any of the Kansas City Chiefs miked

215
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 4: up stuff this season. That guy is vocal. He takes

216
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 4: players under his wing. He's coaching guys up on the sideline.

217
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: A lot of people forget the personal aspect of tearing

218
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 4: a player away, whether it's in trade or free agency.

219
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: We were just talking about Tom Brady in New England.

220
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: When Tom Brady left, so did the entire Patriots mystique. Right,

221
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 4: there was a leadership void. There was a leadership vacuum

222
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 4: that no nobody could fill. When you talk about Mac

223
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 4: Jones filling those shoes, it wasn't gonna be Mac Jones,

224
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 4: It wasn't gonna be anybody. Nobody could replicate what Tom

225
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: Brady did in that building ever and never will be.

226
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 4: With Chris Jones, he has a similar impact, at very

227
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 4: least to that defense in Kansas City, where if you

228
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: removed him from the picture and you said, okay, gang,

229
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: go win us another Super Bowl, just that one move

230
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: alone may prevent you from being able to do it all.

231
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 6: Right.

232
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: On the other side, we mentioned the mac Jones deal,

233
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: which I think we both agree is a good move

234
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: for the New England Patriots. As they turned the page

235
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: to hopefully a brighter future and Jacksonville gets a quality

236
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: quarterback to back up Trevor Lawrence. But it's bad news

237
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: for another team. We'll explain. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

262
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: posted right after we get off the air. So we

263
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: talked about the Patriots dealing their former first round draft pick,

264
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: quarterback Max Jones of the Jacksonville Jaguars for a six

265
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: round pick, and in a lot of ways, I think

266
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: it benefits both those teams, but I'll tell you it

267
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: did not bode well for another team, and that is

268
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears. So yesterday Adam Kaplan, our Fox Sports

269
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: Radio NFL insider, joined us rich and I asked him

270
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: right out of the box, what's the latest with Justin Fields.

271
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it now appears one hundred percent certain that

272
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: the Bears are going to use the number one overall

273
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: pick to take Caleb Williams. And he said, the problem

274
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,479
Speaker 2: with the Bears right now is no one's interested.

275
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: And when we.

276
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: Talk about whatever the Bears price tag is for Justin Fields,

277
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: it just went down considerably with the deal that the

278
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: Patriots just made for Mac Jones, Because if you actually

279
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: look at Mac Jones's career with the Patriots in a

280
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: lot of ways, it actually is more productive than what

281
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: Justin Fields did with the Bears, So it does not

282
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: bode well. I don't know what the Bears think they're

283
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: going to get for Justin Fields, but they may have

284
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: to do what the Patriots just did with Mac Jones

285
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: and just cut their losses and take whatever they can get.

286
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: The idea that they're going to get a top three

287
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: pick for Justin Fields at this point appears to be

288
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: fantasy land. They're just going to have to take whatever

289
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: they can get, turn the page and hope that Caleb

290
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: Williams is going to be as good as advertised.

291
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean, I guess the most recent comp

292
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 4: I guess would be Sam Darnold, who is the number

293
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 4: three overall draft pick in twenty eighteen when the Jets

294
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: moved on from him and send him to Carolina, is

295
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: who it was. It was for three picks, a six rounder,

296
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 4: and then it was for a second and a fourth.

297
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 4: So you think about that, right, third overall pick, New

298
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: York Jets goes to Carolina and they get three picks back.

299
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 4: Mac Jones goes to Jacksonville and they get a six rounder. Yeah,

300
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: so all of a sudden, like in real estate, and

301
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 4: anybody who's ever shot houses, anybody who's ever sold a house,

302
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: they understand how this work. And for those who haven't,

303
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: or if you've rented your whole life, the way it

304
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,119
Speaker 4: works is they pull comps, which means they find comparable

305
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: properties and they say, this is what your house is

306
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: worth based off of what other houses near you with

307
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: the same square footage, the same number of bedrooms and

308
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: bathrooms has sold. Oh, you just put a new roof on. Okay,

309
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: maybe we could boost that number by that ten grand.

310
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: It's not gonna make a huge difference. You're like, well

311
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: that roof costs me twenty grand. Yeah, but people don't care.

312
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 4: What about the ing ground pool. Nah, the in ground

313
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 4: pool doesn't move the number at all. Oh my gosh,

314
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 4: well we just retiled one of the bathrooms. That doesn't

315
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: move the number at all. You know, like you start

316
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 4: making these these these complaints to your real estate agent.

317
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: But they know the market. They know the only thing

318
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: other people buyers are looking at are comps. And so

319
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: for the for the Chicago Bears, this is the worst

320
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 4: case scenario.

321
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 5: News.

322
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 4: You now have a more recent comp than Sam Donald,

323
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 4: and arguably over the course of his time in New England,

324
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 4: compared to Donald in New York, he had a more

325
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: successful career Mac Jones did, and he went for one

326
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: sixth rounder.

327
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: Oh boy, Yeah, the Bears.

328
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: The Bears are gonna be lucky to get anything for

329
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: Justin Fields at this point.

330
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And again it's a domino effect.

331
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: Everything is gonna have a domino effect on the moves

332
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: with all these different players. So let's we start with

333
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 2: Justin Fields right now, and we look at teams that

334
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: are looking for quarterback. We mentioned the New England Patriots,

335
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: right So coming out of the combine, it is apparent

336
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: now to most insiders, Caleb Williams goes number one overall,

337
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: but Jaden Daniels has leaped over Drake May in the

338
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: eyes of the watching commanders, who have the second overall pick.

339
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: That would leave Drake May, who's a pretty good consolation

340
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: prize because he's got talent, plenty of talent. If he's

341
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: coached right, maybe that talent unlike what happened to mac

342
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: Jones in New England. But pant sol Drake May in

343
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: number three with the New England Patriots. Then, so those

344
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: three teams have got their quarterbacks and then it's like

345
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: everybody else. And when we look at this draft, So

346
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: assuming those are the top three picks, maybe they switch places.

347
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: But those top three quarterbacks are going to be one,

348
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: two to three in the draft, and I don't see

349
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: any of those teams trading out of those picks. Arizona

350
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 2: at four, most likely taking Marvin Harrison Junior. They're going

351
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: to keep Kyler Murray as their quarterback, as they should,

352
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: and they're going to take Marvin Harrison Junior. From that

353
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: point on, starting with the Chargers pick at number five,

354
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 2: how desperate are teams for quarterbacks? I saw this Riches

355
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. So the Minnesota Vikings have to make a

356
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: decision on Kirk Cousins. He's a free agent and he's

357
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 2: coming off of blown Achilles, and he's thirty six years old,

358
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: and I've heard both things. No, the Vikings are not

359
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: going to let him go because Justin Jefferson, arguably the

360
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: most talented wide receiver in the NFL, is a big

361
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: fan of Kirk Cousins. Like they have a connection there,

362
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: and you don't want to alienate your top wide receiver

363
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: to take away the quarterback. That he fills most comfortable with.

364
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 2: On the other hand, I hear the Kirk Cousins is gone,

365
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: he's going to the Atlanta Falcons. Of course, we're assuming

366
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 2: that he's going to be one hundred percent coming off

367
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: of blown achilles, which at age thirty six is a

368
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: huge question mark. But I actually saw this, and this

369
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. It was a reputable, you know, mock draft

370
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: from one of the top level sources, and they have

371
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings trading up to the number five overall

372
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: pick from the Chargers who are training down picking up

373
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: obviously extra picks along the way, and they need help

374
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: to take JJ McCarthy fifth overall in the draft as

375
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: their new quarterback.

376
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, where is this well?

377
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: I mean, it makes perfect sense because look at their

378
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: head coach Jim Harbaugh had a lot of success with

379
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy over his time with the Michigan Wolverines. He

380
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 4: said to himself, he thinks he's gonna be the first

381
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: quarterback taking off the board. So if you follow the breadcrumbs,

382
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 4: it makes sense from this standpoint, if the Vikings end

383
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 4: up or excuse me, if the Chargers end up wanting

384
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy and the Vikings end up looking for a guy.

385
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 4: Let me think about it.

386
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: I don't think I mean, if you're the Vikings right now,

387
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: here's what it comes down to. Are you Let's just

388
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: start with this. Yeah, go ahead, Are you keeping Kirk Cousins.

389
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 5: See, that's where I was gonna go with it. That's

390
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 5: where I was gonna go with it.

391
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 4: I got all turned around because I'm like, I don't

392
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 4: think they move on from Kirk Cousins.

393
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 5: So let me start there. Let me start there.

394
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: So Kirk Cousins, to me, is the type of player who, now,

395
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: when we were talking about Chris Jones earlier re signing

396
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: with the Kansas City Chiefs, he's a player who means

397
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 4: more than obviously just what he's done on the field

398
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 4: to Kansas City.

399
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 5: He's a leader.

400
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 4: This team would have an enormous leadership void without him.

401
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: Same with Kirk Cousins. And people don't realize that this

402
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 4: is the case. But Kirk Cousins is like an impactful, emotional,

403
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 4: very vocal leader with the Minnesota Vikings. And I think

404
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: that Kevin O'Connell has unlocked some of his better ability

405
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: and has really helped to I don't know, calm down

406
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: some of his deficiencies, Like a lot of what we've

407
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 4: said about kirk Cousins classically over the years, like Ah,

408
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 4: kirk Cousins really fades in primetime. Well, well not since

409
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell's gotten there. It's gotten a lot better now. Granted,

410
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: he injured himself very early in the season last year,

411
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 4: and I understand he only had one full season so

412
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: far with Kevin O'Connell, but he looked a lot more confident.

413
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 4: He looked a lot better in the koc offense with

414
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings. So if they find a way to

415
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: structure his contract so he is not killing their salary cap,

416
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 4: and they can help Justin Jefferson out around that offense,

417
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 4: if they can rebuild that defense a little bit, who

418
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: probably played better than we thought they would play in

419
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two, had a down year, down ish year

420
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three. The offense didn't help them very much.

421
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: I could see the Minnesota Vikings back in the playoff

422
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: picture in a big way. I don't know if they

423
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 4: can contend for the North because of how good Detroit

424
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: looks right now, but at very least a wild card.

425
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: Well, and again this is assuming that he is going

426
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: to make a recovery from a blown achilles. Now that's

427
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: true too, and that is a very short list of

428
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: players in any sport that have made a full recovery

429
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 2: but from a blown achilles.

430
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 4: A quarterback who's more of a pocket quarterback who's not

431
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 4: known for athleticism, who's known for being a field general,

432
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 4: and one of those guys who stands tall in the

433
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 4: pocket and delivers.

434
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 5: That is, if I would argue a position where you could.

435
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: See the lowest amount of decline coming back from an achilles,

436
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 4: even if it's not one hundred percent to start this season,

437
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 4: it would be quarterback, all right.

438
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 3: So we'll by the way we and again it's a

439
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: domino effect.

440
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna start breaking it down because once one move

441
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 2: is made, you get to the next move. We're going

442
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: to continue on with that, but first let's find out

443
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 2: what is trending right now. Here's a man that has

444
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: been really an eyewitness to what is going to be

445
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: most likely just the fifth losing UCLA basketball season since

446
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: nineteen forty eight. Steve Bryan Finley is here, b Fenn, Steve,

447
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: how dare you?

448
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 8: Because we've got the conference tournament, we have the conference tournament.

449
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: Steve, how dare you because.

450
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 8: You could see the Bruins just roll off a few

451
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 8: wins as the five seed, And I'm not so sure

452
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 8: what your percentage is in converting on what you predict

453
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 8: in the future that it actually pans out, UCLA can

454
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 8: still get in the NCAA Tournament. I might be the

455
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 8: only person in Los Angeles that still believes in that.

456
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 3: Well.

457
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: I mean, here, here's the problem. The recruits they brought in.

458
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 2: It's a bad combination. They're soft and they can't shoot.

459
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 5: So when you.

460
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: Have guys that are soft, soft.

461
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: On the defensive end and then you can't actually shoot

462
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: the basketball in the offensive end, that's a really bad combination.

463
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: You know, hang on, tell us how you really feel about.

464
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 2: By the way, by the way, I'm only using Mick

465
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: Cronin's words. I mean he has actually said this of

466
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: his own team, So yeah, he's He's made it infinitely

467
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: clear that if he's even back next year at UCLA,

468
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,239
Speaker 2: because Louisville is making a serious attempt to pry him

469
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 2: away from u c l A, that he's cleaning roster.

470
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: Like what happened, This is not salvageable. What they have

471
00:24:59,600 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: This year.

472
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 8: I'm very disappoint Yeah, I think he was surprised at

473
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 8: with all the international flavor that he has brought on

474
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 8: this team, just to disconnect and how it hasn't been

475
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 8: the talent as transferable to the college game because it

476
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 8: is more physical, as you said, and Mick mentioned it,

477
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 8: the international players. It's more of a finesse game over there,

478
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 8: and yeah, there's some of the lack of physicality and

479
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 8: it's been a rude awakening for UCLA.

480
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: By the way, we're watching.

481
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,920

Speaker 9: No?

536
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, John Cantara's dad was a boxer.

537
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:57,720

553
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: shake out for this year's NCAA basketball tournament. All right,

554
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: right now, we are talking about the NFL, and as

555
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier, Adam Kaplan, our Fox Sports Radio NFL

556
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: insider yesterday said be ready like buckle up starting tomorrow,

557
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: forget Wednesday. By Wednesday, he said, we'll have twenty major

558
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: deals on the books, and was either guys resigning with

559
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: their existing team or free agents heading out in a

560
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: different direction. Obviously, Rich, one of the biggest stories is

561
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: the Denver situation with Russell Wilson. And think about this

562
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 2: for a second before we even get into where we

563
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: will see Russell Wilson next, think what the new ownership

564
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: of the Broncos just signed off on. Okay, So this

565
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: is the wealthiest family in America, the Walton family of

566
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 2: Walmart fame. And we knew and we talked about this

567
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: when they brought in Sean Payton, that they gave him

568
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: more control a bad organization than any coach outside of

569
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: Belichick perhaps in.

570
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: New England had.

571
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: Obviously he got fired, but anyway, so had And this

572
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: is full throttle because when you think about it, if

573
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 2: you look at the numbers Russell Wilson posted this past season,

574
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 2: the idea that he is solely responsible for this team

575
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: coming up short is absurd. The fact was they started

576
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 2: the season with a historically bad defense that ultimately they

577
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: helped turned around. But ultimately, this is an organization that

578
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: just sign off an eighty million dollar cap hit over

579
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: the next two years, eighty million dollar cap hit and

580
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: by the way, left themselves without a quarterback. And yet

581
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: they signed off on that because that's what Sean Payton wants.

582
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 3: I mean, that's.

583
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't know any other organization that would have done

584
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: that based on what Russell Wilson actually did on the

585
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: field this past season.

586
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I let me tell you, I'm I'm I

587
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 4: am so conflicted over this Russell Wilson situation. When I

588
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: really think about it from two standpoints. One, Russell Wilson

589
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 4: is a talented football player, right, you know, when you

590
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 4: look at his statistical achievements, He's not the biggest problem

591
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 4: Denver has on the field, right, not over the past

592
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: two seasons. You can make an argument this season their

593
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 4: defense really let them down at multiple times. It got better,

594
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: and then it kind of fell off again toward the

595
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 4: end of the season. Those receivers around him really struggled

596
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 4: to connect with him. And maybe again some of that

597
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: is on Russell Wilson, but also some of those drops aren't.

598
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 4: I mean, there were plenty of times where big plays

599
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 4: could have been made in that passing offense, and guys

600
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: were just straight up letting balls go through their hands.

601
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 4: And it's just you can't let that happen. And so Denver,

602
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,239
Speaker 4: you know, I don't want to say inexplicably takes this

603
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: insane cap hit to get rid of Russell Wilson, But

604
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: Steve eighty five million dollars not to have the guy

605
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 4: in your roster, It's unbelievable. And so you gotta figure,

606
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 4: all right, what's the bigger part of this story?

607
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 6: Then?

608
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 5: What are we missing?

609
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 4: Okay, Russell Wilson must have been Again, this is speculation.

610
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: I haven't heard this.

611
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 4: This This is I mean outside of what's been sourced

612
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 4: from the locker room, which you know how sources can

613
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 4: be sometimes maybe Denver, the franchise, is sourcing this information

614
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 4: to make all these decisions, make them look better. But

615
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 4: like we've heard that there was discord between the front

616
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 4: office and Russ when he came in with Nathaniel Hackett.

617
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: He had all these demands.

618
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 4: He wanted his own office, he wanted all these personal coaches,

619
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 4: you know, stuff like that. Sean Payton came in and

620
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 4: kind of cleared house. But how much of a connection

621
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 4: was there between he and the locker room. You have

622
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 4: to speculate that if Denver is willing to spend eighty

623
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 4: five million dollars not to have them there, there was

624
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: something really wrong with how Russ was connecting with that team.

625
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 4: I mean his teammates on the way out of Seattle,

626
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 4: the ones who are vocal about it, like Marshawn Lynch,

627
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 4: like Richard Sherman, one on defense, one on offense, both

628
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 4: said that you know, there there was a distance between

629
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 4: he and the team, like Marshawn Lynch one time said

630
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 4: in an interview, I think it was with Shannon Sharp,

631
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 4: that he had to call Russell Wilson's manager to try

632
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: to get a meeting with Russ to talk to him

633
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 4: after Russ played a tough game, right like like, So

634
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: he couldn't even just call up his buddy and be like, hey,

635
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 4: I wanted to tell you that you know that games

636
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 4: that I got you, That game's on me. Whatever he

637
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 4: was going to say to cheer him up. He couldn't

638
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 4: even reach him because the number he had for Russ

639
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 4: was his manager's number. He had to like book an

640
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,479
Speaker 4: appointment to talk to his quarterback. I've never heard of

641
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 4: that before. I played in the NFL for six years.

642
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 4: Never once have I heard of somebody needing to speak

643
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 4: to a manager to speak to a teammate.

644
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 5: It's outrageous, well, it is.

645
00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: And so Sean Payton decided, after a year of evaluating

646
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: the players he had on his roster in Denver, which

647
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: players are in and which or not. And obviously Russell

648
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: Wilson's not. And another guy that was not buying in

649
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 2: was Jerry Judy, who's been a gross underachiever based on

650
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 2: the Hike coming out of Alabama and so they rid

651
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: themselves of him. Now on the flip side, on the

652
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 2: other side, I want to break it down. As far

653
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: as Russell Wilson and everything you said, I'm with you.

654
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: In other words, there's more to this than a lack

655
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: of production or didn't execute the offense.

656
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: It's got to be much greater than that. So buyer,

657
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: beware the.

658
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: Idea that, well, Okay, it didn't work out with you,

659
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: maybe Sean Payton is demanding too much. We're not going

660
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: to do that and expecting different results. It could be

661
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: a major mistake by a team who's most likely to

662
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: make that decision to bring Russell Wilson into their fold.

663
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 3: We'll break it down. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

664
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: Steve Harbin and her Schornberger. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

665
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: We are live from the tai Iraq dot Com studios.

666
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 2: All right, I'm answering to several people on social media

667
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: and your wish will come true coming up later in

Speaker 2: the next hour. Today is Oscars, the Academy Awards, and

669
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: we have a gentleman named Lucky Leshu who comes on

670
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 2: our show every single year and in a matter of

671
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: about five minutes, run down every category, every category's winner.

672
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: How good is this guy over the last two years

673
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 2: combined rich he's forty one and five.

674
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 3: It's insane, forty one in five.

675
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: We're talking documentaries, we're talking about every award that is

676
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 2: actually handed out of the Academy Awards.

677
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 3: So if you're one.

678
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: To make a wager, and by the way, in the

679
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: major categories, Picture Director of the four Acting Awards, two

680
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 2: Writing Awards, he was eighth for eight last year. So

681
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: we try to be a full service show here and

682
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: there are actual places you can wager on the Academy Awards.

683
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: So if you want to be handed, like the list

684
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: of winners, it's like being handed the answers of the

685
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: test before you take it right, and you want to

686
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 2: cash in on it. We tell you this every year

687
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: and the numbers don't lie, but all categories forty one

688
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: and five over the last two years, so it's.

689
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 3: Money in the bank.

690
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: So Lucky Lashoe will join us in about forty five minutes,

691
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: I can, and it's a real quick segment. It's you know,

692
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: it's just gonna be a quick break. We literally will

693
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: just rattle off the categories. He'll run down the winners,

694
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: and that's it takes about five minutes.

695
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 4: I literally that's one of my favorite radio segments because

696
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 4: I'm the benefactor in two ways.

697
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 5: A I get to see a man.

698
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 4: Just basically hit and hit and hit and hit every

699
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 4: single year because you turn on the Oscars. Basically everything

700
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 4: he says comes true. And the other thing is you

701
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: ask all the questions.

702
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 5: I do none of the talking.

703
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: Yes, all I do is just I just I give

704
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: him the category. He gives me the winner, Category winner,

705
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: category winner. There's twenty three categories. Who run through them

706
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: in about five minutes, and hopefully you're listening and take

707
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 2: down notes because you know, sometimes you might be watching.

708
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: I know, not everybody out there's a big movie fan.

709
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: Not everyone out there is a big Oscars fan, but

710
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 2: if you do a little wagering, you're a fan of that.

711
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 5: That I do know.

712
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: So that'll be coming up in about an hour and

713
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: a half, not an hour and a half, about forty

714
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: five minutes. Forty five minutes. Lucky Leshu will be joining

715
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: us here.

716
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 5: Now.

717
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of gambling, somebody's gonna gamble on Russell Wilson.

718
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: Let's start with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

719
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: So there's so much speculation about what the Pittsburgh Steelers

720
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: are gonna do at quarterback. And I almost laugh at

721
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: this because I heard someone saying, Wow, if they they

722
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 2: get Russell Wilson, they could be a contender. Well, I

723
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: got news for you. They're actually already a contender. I mean,

724
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: even even the loss to Buffalo on the road was

725
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: a competitive game. They have a lot of pieces there.

726
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: The question is does adding Russell Wilson take the quarterback

727
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: position and make a giantly forward from what they had

728
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 2: a year ago?

729
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: That is the big question.

730
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: And then, of course, if we're talking about the dynamic

731
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: did not work between Sean Payton and Russell Wilson, how

732
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 2: is it going to work with Mike Tomlin. You know,

733
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: that's the big question, moan before do you look at

734
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson as a big bonus piece to the Pittsburgh

735
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: Steelers that puts him in contention in terms of actually

736
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 2: getting back to a Super Bowl?

737
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 5: Well, hmm, it's a great question.

738
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 4: No, Okay, no, for this reason, maybe this reason alone,

739
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 4: I don't wax.

740
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 5: I don't want to say no right away, because here's

741
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 5: the deal.

742
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 4: I said it was gonna work gangbusters in Denver, because

743
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 4: I was making all these assumptions, and one of the

744
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 4: most important assumptions was that we weren't gonna have to

745
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 4: worry about.

746
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 5: Any of the locker room stuff.

747
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 4: Like Russ is a leader, I mean, he's, you know,

748
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 4: a guy who's you know, deeply religious and family oriented

749
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 4: and you know, connects with people you know. And then

750
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 4: all of a sudden he goes to Denver and it's

751
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 4: like all those whispers and all those problems that some

752
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 4: of the former Seattle Seahawks players were talking about during

753
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 4: their time with Russ, they were almost exaggerated in Denver.

754
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 4: It was like whatever ego was affecting how he really

755
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 4: related to the Seattle Seahawks locker room came with him

756
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: and only grew in Denver to the point where, like

757
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 4: we were talking about, when Sean Payton showed up, he

758
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 4: had to tear down a lot of the infrastructure that

759
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson had put in place, including his own coaches

760
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So I don't want to have

761
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 4: a knee jerk reaction and say it's gonna work in

762
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh just because Mike Tomlins a great coach, Sean Payton's

763
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 4: a great coach.

764
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 5: He couldn't get it figured out right.

765
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 2: And here's the thing, even with Russell Wilson, assuming Deshaun

766
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: Watson can pick it up where he left off before

767
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 2: he got hurt, they still have the fourth best quarterback

768
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: in their division.

769
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 3: There's another team.

770
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 2: In that conversation, we got a lot more NFL News

771
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: a very busy week ahead. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

772

Speaker 2: Well along here on this Sunday and what is going

773
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: to be a very very busy week as far as

774
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: NFL News is concerned. We're broadcasting live from the ti

779
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 2: detour right now, watching this Iowa Nebraska women's basketball game.

780
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: Inside ten seconds to go in the game, we're tied

781
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 2: at seventy seven. Sounds like a Caitlin Clark moment to me.

782
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 2: By the way, they did another made up stat the

783
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: other day that she broke Steph Curry's NCAA single season

784
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: record for three pointers made. Okay, there is no such

785
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: NCAA record book. There's no NCAA record book that includes

786
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: some combined list of men and women. There's a women's

787
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: record book, and there's a men's record book. So once

788
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: again this effort to somehow raise the game, so to speak,

789
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 2: of Kaitlin Clark when it doesn't have to be. She

790
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: can stand on her own. She doesn't need all this

791
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: kind of fake bravado. And right now the clock ran

792
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: out on Wisconsin while they had a chance with nine

793
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: seconds left, and they could barely get off a shot.

794
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: So this game is going to go over and overtime.

795
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: And I've been harping on this and I don't want

796
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 2: to overplay it. But Caitlyn Clark doesn't need to have

797
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: her numbers compared to men's numbers for her to stand out.

798
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 2: She's had one of the remarkable collegiate careers in women's

799
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 2: basketball history, and that should be more than enough. Everyone

800
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 2: knows who Caitlyn Clark is. You don't have to make

801
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 2: up stats to somehow enhance her resume. It's maddening to me.

802
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 2: I didn't even know where this one came from, but

803
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: it was like she just passed Steph Curry most points

804
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 2: NCAA record. There is no such NCA record, there's no

805
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 2: such combined record book of men's and women's game. They

806
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: are two different sports.

807
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, this is sports marketing one on one.

808
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 4: If you want to make a star, you need to

809
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 4: compare that star to other stars. Caitlyn Clark, you're gonna

810
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 4: have a hard time comparing her to other college women's

811
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 4: college basketball players because unfortunately, there aren't very many women's.

812
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 5: College basketball players that people know of A and B.

813
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 4: There's not many women's college basketball stars that you can

814
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 4: compare her to anymore because she's destroying records, and so

815
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 4: they're switching over to a more marketable way of promoting

816
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 4: her by comparing her to Pistol Pete Maravich. Who you know,

817
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 4: anybody who you know loves college basketball knows who Pistol

818
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 4: Pete is.

819
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 5: They're comparing her to Steph Curry.

820
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 4: Now who anybody who loves college basketball knows who Steph

821
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 4: Curry is. Obviously has had a wonderful career with the

822
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 4: Golden State Warriors. But that's why they're doing this. It's

823
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 4: just to get more eyeballs. It's just to get more

824
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: interests when you compare stars, star players to other star

825
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 4: players and you make it almost like a rivalry. It

826
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 4: encourages more interest, and that's what like these networks are

827
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 4: trying to encourage is more attention, which is going to

828
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 4: get higher levels of viewership on what Caitton Clark is doing.

829
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 4: And to support your point, what she's doing is otherworldly

830
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 4: stuff in her sport, which is women's college basketball.

831
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 5: Right.

832
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: And one final note on this, what they're hoping is

833
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: that unlike all the other star women that have got

834
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: a lot of publicity out of the collegiate ranks, and

835
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 2: it's a long list, none of them had any impact

836
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 2: in the WNBA as far as the turnstiles concern.

837
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 3: They just don't.

838
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 2: And I'm going to tell you the same thing is

839
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 2: going to happen to Caitlin Clark. Well, she's not going

840
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: to bring any more attention to the WNBA that in

841
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 2: Escue or you know, Canna's Park, or are any of

842
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 2: the other star players that they have come into the WNBA.

843
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: It's like they get all this notoriety at the collegiate

844
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: game because it does get a lot of coverage, and

845
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 2: then they go to the WNBA and we forget they exist.

846
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want to say, I don't want to

847
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 4: say that, I won't say it with any level of

848
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 4: certainty because we haven't seen Caitlin Clark.

849
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 5: As a professional yet.

850
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 4: We don't know how she's going to be covered as

851
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 4: a professional yet. But nothing you said after that is untrue.

852
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 4: The WNBA has been trying to move the needle in

853
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 4: the correct direction for years and years and years now.

854
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 4: And as we know in sports, stars help, and even

855
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 4: with college basketball superstars like Kennis Parker, my goodness, everybody

856
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 4: knew who Kenneth Parker was coming out of Tennessee, it

857
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 4: just didn't work. And I don't know why the interest

858
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 4: doesn't transfer from the college game to the professional game,

859
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 4: but it doesn't. And hopefully with Clark it's different because

860
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 4: she's different.

861
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: Well, and here's something, by the way, to give you

862
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 2: an idea. So the WNBA has been around since the

863
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: mid nineties. Yeah, the Las Vegas Asus one that championship.

864
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: The last couple of years they sort of assembled this

865
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: super team. They became the first w NBA team in

866
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 2: history to sell out season tickets. Now, think about that.

867
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: So this league's been in existence now for well over

868
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 2: twenty five years, and no team had ever sold out

869
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 2: season tickets until this year. So yeah, I mean, it

870
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 2: is a niche sport. You know, you got the best

871
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: women players in the world, and they're out there for

872
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: most of them. If they want to make any serious money,

873
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 2: play overseas to supplement their income and everything else.

874
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 3: So if Caitlin Clark can be.

875
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 2: The first, you see, would be the first to actually

876
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 2: noticeably move the needle. You know, it'd be sort of

877
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: like MESSI right now with Major League Soccer, right, I mean,

878
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: you bring in the greatest player in the world and like, wow,

879
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 2: I got to see this guy play. Does she have

880
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 2: that kind of star power to move the needle for

881
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 2: the WNBA. We're going to find out next season. One

882
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: other quick note and then we'll get back to all

883
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: the football talk. But I have to ask you this, Richie.

884
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, buddy, we have.

885
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: To agree on one thing right now, because you and

886
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 2: I are big fans of a sport that has really

887
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: hit the skids.

888
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 3: Jake Paul is the biggest star in boxing. Would you agree?

889
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 5: I wouldn't disagree. I mean I would already.

890
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 3: Talk about moving the needle.

891
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 4: I would argue the guy he's fighting is probably the

892
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 4: biggest name in boxing. He hasn't boxed since the Roy

893
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 4: Jones junior exhibition. But yeah, yeah, I mean as in

894
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 4: terms of a current boxer who's scheduling exhibition matches. He's

895
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,479
Speaker 4: inarguably the biggest name in boxing right now.

896
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 2: So I yesterday Carrie Rhodes because I was talking about

897
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: this story, this fight coming up with Jake Paul and

898
00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson, and I said, I'm watching. He's like, and

899
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 2: you call yourself a boxing fan, and I said, I

900
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 2: am a boxing fan. I also have to recognize this

901
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: is where this sport is right now.

902
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 5: Yep.

903
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 3: No, there's no fighter in any weight division, none moving

904
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: the needle right now.

905
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of what was the last fighter

906
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: that actually moved the needle.

907
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 5: Probably Fury.

908
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 2: You think Fury moves the needle. Yeah, yeah, No, no, no, no,

909
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 2: you don't. I mean beyond I'm talking about I think

910
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: many Pakia, I think. I think I think when we

911
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: think of Vloyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacqui, how those

912
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 2: that was it. I mean, that was after the Oscar

913
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: de la Hoya is and the Sugar Shane Mosley's and

914
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: that golden era of those fighters. But I mean, no, Tyson,

915
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 2: Fury's not moving the needle. You think anybody knows who

916
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: Tyson Fury is if they're not a hardcore boxing fan,

917
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 2: He's not in No, it's it's now should he I

918
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 2: can I can't say because I'm a boxing fan, so

919
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate, you know, what he's done. You know, the

920
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 2: heavyweight division hit the skids when he had the Klitschko brothers,

921
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 2: two of the dominant heavyweights of all time.

922
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 3: The problem is they were brothers and they never fought.

923
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 2: Each other obviously, so that that's where things sort of

924
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 2: hit the skids at the heavyweight division. And you know,

925
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 2: as far as the lower weight classes, we talked about Canelo,

926
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 2: we talked about you know, Triple G. We've talked about

927
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 2: a lot of guys that, you know, boxing fans get

928
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: excited about. But you if you say boxing right now

929
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: to someone that isn't you know, all in on boxing.

930
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 2: Name about Jake Paul Yeah, yeah, I mean, which is

931
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 2: crazy to purists like us, but it's where we're at.

932
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 2: And now, I mean, what if it actually is a

933
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 2: legitimate fight, And that's a big question mark because we

934
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: saw the Tyson Roy.

935
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 3: Jones fight and I'm not even sure what I was

936
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 3: watching that night.

937
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 2: But if Mike Tyson, who's in pretty good shape for

938
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 2: a guy that's fifty seven years of age. It's not

939
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: like he's carrying around you like a big gut and everything.

940
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 2: He's thicker, obviously than he was when he was twenty

941
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: years old, but he seems to have been in pretty

942
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 2: good shape by the way Jake Paul says he's going

943
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: to put Tyson to sleep. I will say this to

944
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 2: Jake Paul. If Mike Tyson hits him with full force,

945
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 2: Jake Paul will never have experienced anything close to that.

946
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, in his lifetime.

947
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 5: I'll agree with that.

948
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 4: Look, even at fifty eight, even thirty years Jake Paul Senior,

949
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 4: I think Mike Tyson is a dangerous human being. I

950
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 4: certainly feel that way about anybody who's never strapped up

951
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 4: boxing gloves before or fought in general. He's made of

952
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 4: something different than the rest of us, but he's dedicated

953
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 4: his life to this, Like Mike Tyson sent a teenage

954
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 4: boy when Custamato took him into the Catskills training facility

955
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 4: and took him out of some of the worst conditions.

956
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 5: I mean, he was on path to be incarcerated.

957
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 4: I mean Mike Tyson when he first began working with

958
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 4: custom Otto was trying to figure out how to rob

959
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 4: him before he fell in love with him as a

960
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 4: mentor and turned into the heavyweight champion of the world.

961
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 4: Mike Tyson was a street kid who turned into something

962
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 4: bigger than the sport he was even participating in, and

963
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 4: it's an incredible story. He owes his life to boxing,

964
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 4: and he's going against a guy who no offense from

965
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 4: real fight analysts. There are people out there who will

966
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 4: say that Jake Paul's got real power, like he is

967
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 4: a real boxer.

968
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 5: But he's not Mike Tyson.

969
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 4: Now, Mike Tyson has legitimate lightning in his fists. If

970
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 4: Mike Tyson wants to renders someone unconscious, he doesn't even

971
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 4: have to think about it.

972
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 5: He could. It's it. So I am.

973
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 4: I am very interested in this fight for for one

974
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 4: reason and one reason only.

975
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 5: I it's Mike Tyson.

976
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 4: I love that Jake Paul is getting more attention to

977
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 4: the sport of boxing, and boxing was really in a

978
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 4: downward spiral before he entered the scene. I'm not sure

979
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 4: I love the current iteration of the sport right now,

980
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 4: where it seems like the only way you can draw

981
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 4: any attention is if you have these weird crossover bouts,

982
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 4: whether it's facing Logan Paul or Jake Paul's brother, or

983
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 4: you know a situation where Anthony Joshua just faced Francis

984
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 4: and Ghanu and knocked him out in two rounds that

985
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 4: was barely even a fight and Ghano had he was

986
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 4: in way over his head. You know things like that.

987
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 4: Tyson Fury was supposed to facing Ghanu. So you know,

988
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 4: I digress on that the sport spiraled a little bit,

989
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 4: and any attention, I guess, is better than no attention.

990
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 4: But I really hope that somebody sanctions this fight where

991
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 4: it's going to go against Tyson's record if he loses,

992
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 4: so that we can see the real Mike Tyson, because,

993
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 4: like you said, when he's playing brother in law with

994
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 4: Roy Jones Junior and he's giving him all due respect

995
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 4: and they're staying away from hitting each other in the

996
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 4: head or hitting too hard, by the way, that's not fun.

997
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 4: They're just shadowboxing and sparring each other. What's fun is

998
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 4: watching an actual fight and seeing Jake Paul up against

999
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 4: a former great who who knows, maybe fifty eight is

1000
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 4: too old to relaunch your career, but it would be

1001
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 4: very interesting to see this fight if it's a real fight.

1002
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 3: Well, and that's it.

1003
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 2: And and my suspicion again is that Jake Paul has

1004
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 2: an agreement with Mike Tysonwise, why would he do this?

1005
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, he is putting himself in serious

1006
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: danger if Mike Tyson hits him.

1007
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no doubt about that.

1008
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 5: So but maybe I.

1009
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 4: Believes that he can get out of Mike Tyson's way.

1010
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 4: Maybe he believes in himself that much that he doesn't

1011
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 4: think Mike.

1012
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 2: That would be a serious mistake. He has not faced

1013
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 2: any what I call legitimate boxers. It's usually guys coming

1014
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: to MMA, guys or whatever it might be. This is

1015
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 2: not that em Mike Tyson.

1016
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 10: All right.

1017
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 2: On the other side, we're gonna get back to free

1018
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: agency and a position that has really lost its luster.

1019
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: There's some big names on the free agent market. The

1020
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,479
Speaker 2: question is is there any market for them? We'll break

1021
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 2: it down. This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Hartman and

1022
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 2: a Rich Harmberger. This is Fox Sports Sunday, and we

Speaker 2: Graduate Hotels where college fans stay. Cannot wait for next

1030
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 2: Sunday selections Sunday as we are ready for the men's

1031
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 2: NCAA basketball tournament. By the way, Iowa prevailed the win

1032
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 2: the Big Ten championship in overtime against Nebraska, Caitlin Clark

1033
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: leaning the way, so she has one thing missing on

1034
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 2: her resume, and that's an NCAA championship. Of course, last year,

1035
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 2: her Iowa team knocked out undefeated number one ranks South

1036
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 2: Carolina in the Semis, only to get obliterated in the

1037
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 2: championship game by LSU. By the way, do you see

1038
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 2: the South Carolina women's game the other day. They're center

1039
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 2: hitting a bank shot for a three pointer to keep

1040
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,720
Speaker 2: their undefeated record. I mean it was like the Tennessee

1041
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 2: coach couldn't believe it, Like everything was exactly what they wanted.

1042
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 2: They had the one girl shooting the basketball that they wanted.

1043
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: Like the center, you know, she's she's standing beyond the

1044
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 2: three point line and she banks it in for the

1045
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 2: game winner.

1046
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 4: It's crazy. That's why we love sports. That's why we

1047
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 4: watch sports. It's the greatest reality television they'll ever be

1048
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 4: because you never can predict what's gonna happen, like a

1049
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 4: center banking one in to stay undefeated, for example.

1050
00:55:59,480 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 3: Unbelieve.

1051
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 2: Speaking of reality, the reality in the National Football League

1052
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 2: is that the market for running backs is minimal, and

1053
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 2: we've got some big names on the free agent market.

1054
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 3: Running backs. Oh yeah, I mean I'll give you.

1055
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 2: You got state Kwon Barkley, who, by the way, is

1056
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 2: twenty seven years old. You have thirty year old Derrick

1057
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 2: Henry who probably has a spot reserved in the Pro

1058
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame. How about a twenty six year

1059
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 2: old Josh Jacobs who led the NFL and rushing just

1060
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Austin Eckler is going to

1061
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 2: be on the free agent market, DeAndre Swift, JK. Dobbins.

1062
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: I mean, there are Devin Singletary. There are a lot

1063
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 2: of running backs on this free agent market. And much

1064
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 2: like we talk about quarterbacks or any other position, when

1065
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 2: it comes to free agency, there's a domino effect. Also,

1066
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 2: there's the comp you know, as you say, let's look

1067
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 2: at the camp yep. And it's going to be interesting

1068
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 2: to see which name comes off the board first, because

1069
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 2: once one name comes off the ford, now the bar's

1070
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 2: been set for the rest of these guys. Of those

1071
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 2: running backs, I know, see personally, if I were to say,

1072
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 2: if I had a choice of any of these running backs,

1073
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 2: and I'm not putting a price tag, I'm just saying,

1074
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 2: we have a priority, we need a running back, this

1075
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 2: is the guy I'm going to take.

1076
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 3: I think I rolled the dice on Josh Jacobs.

1077
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, me too. Yeah, Josh Jacobs.

1078
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 4: I think, like all running backs, he's been banged up

1079
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 4: at times, but overall he's been the most dependable back. Also,

1080
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 4: if you think about it, he hasn't been on a

1081
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 4: overwhelming offense since he's started in the league, and he's

1082
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 4: been productive even still, I mean, for everything everybody says

1083
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 4: about the Vegas Raiders, it has never been like, hey,

1084
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 4: you know, the one thing the Raiders really got going

1085
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 4: for them is a great offensive line. Like nobody is

1086
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 4: lining up to say that they've struggled up front. And

1087
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 4: still Josh Jacobs is a routine thousand yard performer and

1088
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 4: one of those guys you could trust out of the backfield.

1089
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 5: So I'm with you, Steve.

1090
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 4: I think Josh Jacobs in terms of free agent running

1091
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 4: backs available for hire, he's at the top of my list.

1092
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 11: It just.

1093
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 2: We're reminded oftentimes during the postseason that the teams that

1094
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 2: have a productive running game have an advantage. I mean,

1095
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that they're the sole focus, because we

1096
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 2: know this is a pass oriented league, but there are times,

1097
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 2: whether you're protecting a lead or trying to run clock,

1098
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 2: or there's a myriad of reasons why having a productive

1099
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 2: running game is important. I just can't shake out of

1100
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 2: my head yesterday. So Carrie Rose is here, and Carrie

1101
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 2: went to Louisville and is a big friend of Lamar Jackson.

1102
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 2: And the last time Carrie and I did a show

1103
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 2: together was the day before the conference championship games. And

1104
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 2: I warned him, I said, now, you and he had

1105
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 2: talked to Lamar Jackson that week and I said, my

1106
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 2: concern going into this game for Lamar Jackson and the

1107
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 2: Ravens is is that he's going to try to outdo

1108
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: what Mahomes does best and they're very different quarterbacks. And

1109
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 2: he assured me, you know, no, they're not going to

1110
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 2: go there. Yeah, they're going to go with his strength

1111
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 2: and what does he do? Thirty eight pass attempts in

1112
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 2: a one score game. It was absolute insanity out there.

1113
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 5: So you know, I look.

1114
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 2: At teams that want to have a running back or

1115
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 2: a running game as an identity, and there's still teams

1116
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 2: like that, yep. And if you have running backs of

1117
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 2: this caliber on the free agent market that you can

1118
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 2: get at a pretty good rate, why would you not.

1119
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 3: Invest in one?

1120
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 4: Well, so I'll give you the rush leaders from the

1121
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three postseason and it's going to help you

1122
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 4: determine why I should say, really support what you're saying.

1123
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 4: Isaia Pacheco led the way with three hundred thirteen yards

1124
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 4: behind him, Christian McCaffrey with two hundred and sixty eight yards,

1125
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 4: and then it was Aaron Jones with the Packers. Then

1126
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 4: it goes down to David Montgomery with the Lions. Three

1127
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 4: of the four players I mentioned either played in the

1128
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 4: Super Bowl or in a conference championship game. Right after Montgomery.

1129
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 4: It's still in the top five, by the way, as

1130
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens, who appeared in the

1131
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 4: AFC Championship game. So there you go in the postseason.

1132
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 4: Running the football matters. We've known that forever, but I

1133
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 4: do agree with you. The NFL has changed in a

1134
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 4: couple of ways. One, the emergence of other players getting

1135
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 4: opportunities to run the football has taken some of the

1136
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 4: shimmer away from the running back room. Like now you

1137
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 4: have like Deebo Samuel involved.

1138
01:00:58,360 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 5: In the run game.

1139
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 4: You know, they use multiple receivers to be involved in

1140
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 4: the Jamison Williams famously, you know, had a huge play

1141
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 4: in the postseason.

1142
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 5: Like you, you look.

1143
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 4: Across this league and quarterbacks are toting the rock almost

1144
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 4: equivalently to or equally to running backs in certain systems.

1145
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 4: You know, Baltimore is a perfect example, but Josh Allen

1146
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 4: and the Buffalo Bills there's many games where he finishes

1147
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 4: as the top rusher. So when you start thinking about

1148
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 4: the running back and the value that they bring to

1149
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 4: your team, you start thinking about, well, okay, share of reps.

1150
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 4: There are certain offenses that really rely on a running back,

1151
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 4: but they're becoming rarer and rarer, And then you look

1152
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 4: at the replaceability or the replacements that come in and

1153
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 4: take over these spots, Like look around the league this year,

1154
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 4: a lot of the biggest names we just learned about

1155
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 4: for the first time, like Devon a chain down there in.

1156
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 5: Miami, absolutely burst onto the scene. Incredible plug and play running.

1157
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 2: Back Kyron Williams with Kyra Williams, a third rounder who's

1158
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 2: become like one of the best running backs in the league.

1159
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 2: So you don't think he had an impact on that team,

1160
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 2: He absolutely did.

1161
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 5: They were a playoff team because they could rely on

1162
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 5: the running offense. You know. So, look, I I'm with you, Steve.

1163
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 4: I think it would be great to sign one of

1164
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 4: these guys out of value. And that's what you're gonna

1165
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 4: get them at is a value because the position is

1166
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 4: not nearly as valuable as the used I agree.

1167
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 2: I think that this is a golden opportunity for teams, Yeah,

1168
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 2: to invest wisely with their money and somebody that could

1169
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 2: pay huge dividends way above their market value. All right,

1170
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 2: coming up on the other side, get ready, Lucky Lashu

1171
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 2: is gonna join us.

1172
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 3: It's gonna be quick.

1173

Speaker 2: We're gonna run down every category for tonight's Academy Awards.

1174
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,040

Speaker 3: I am not.

1179
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 8: I feel like the viewership numbers on that have dropped significantly.

1180
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 8: I don't want people that live in white picket fences

1181
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 8: and four acre mansions to tell me how to live

1182
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 8: my life.

1183
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I agree with you on that. Do you

Speaker 8: off a tease and from somebody who's going to and

1190
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 8: already has made a lot of money. When it comes

1191

01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,760

1373
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:02,720
Speaker 2: Okay Maes's sweet love reaction, but he said Oppenheimer was

1374
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 2: kind of mid among Nolan's film.

1375
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I disagree with that entirely.

1376
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 5: Oppenheimer yet, is is it a good flick?

1377
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 2: I I saw Actually, I seen it twice. I saw

1378
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,640
Speaker 2: oppenhaim Er twice. Look, the thing that's the problem with

1379
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 2: these movies is simple, the length of these movies. No

1380
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 2: movie should be over two hours. I mean, I dare

1381
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 2: say too, I dare say once.

1382
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 3: I dare say that no movie should be over an

1383
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 3: hour and a half.

1384
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I don't know why you

1385
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,719
Speaker 2: were surprised that this is a Miyazaki year, he's gonna

1386
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 2: he's gonna get an animated like and it might be

1387
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 2: his last film.

1388
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 3: Spider Verse movie was phenomenal.

1389
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 2: I I know he says this every time he puts

1390
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 2: out a film, but Miyazaki, a legend of Japanese animation,

1391
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 2: this might be his last film. They were not going

1392
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 2: to deny him this. It was an anime film that

1393
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 2: just blew up at the box office, no question about that,

1394
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 2: because Spider Verse was considered a lock until that came out.

1395
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 2: All right, coming out on the other side, we revert

1396
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 2: to but we do normally, and that's a lot of

1397
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,560
Speaker 2: sports talk as we get back to NFL free agency

1398
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 2: and yeah, we're gonna shake out the quarterback position. This

1399
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harvey, Rich Hornberger, Fox Sports Sunday.

1400
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 2: We are live from the tire rack dot Com studios.

1401
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 3: All right, oscars in our rearview mirror.

1402
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 2: Back to what is going to be an insanely busy

1403
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 2: few days coming up around the National Football League, even

1404
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 2: though technically the free agency doesn't start until Wednesday, or

1405
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 2: teams having to get down below the cap by Wednesday.

1406
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 2: You know how this all works. Rich, starting in a

1407
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 2: florry tomorrow. We're gonna hear all kinds of stories. Now

1408
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 2: they can't be finalized until then, right like Wednesday, but

1409
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 2: it'll start leaking out. Deals are done here there. You

1410
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 2: know guys re signing with teams. There were I believe

1411
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 2: eight players that got franchise tagged. Now we got teams

1412
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 2: like what the Kansas City Chiefs did today wisely with

1413
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 2: Chris Jones. He locked them up under locking key before

1414
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 2: actually hits the free agent market. We'll see plenty of

1415
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 2: that and then we'll see other guys come off the board. Now,

1416
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 2: quarterback is always interesting because again it's a domino effect

1417
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 2: which teams are looking to upgrade their quarterback position through

1418
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 2: free agency as opposed to looking to the draft and

1419
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 2: getting a fresh start at quarterback. One name I want

1420
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 2: to get to because we'll be up against a little

1421
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 2: bit here at the top of the yard. Because we

1422
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 2: talk about the Kirk Cousins situation. I think you and

1423
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 2: I both agree that most likely Kirk Cousins will remain

1424
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 2: with the Minnesota Vikings.

1425
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it, Well, okay.

1426
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 2: Or is he going to be in Atlanta Falcon I

1427
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 2: mean that's what the hot rumor is that he's gonna

1428
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 2: end up in Atlanta.

1429
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:45,759
Speaker 5: Okay.

1430
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 4: So when people are asking me before the Chris Jones signing,

1431
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 4: where does it make the most sense that Chris Jones goes?

1432
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 4: Like my brother, oddly enough, who grew up in New York,

1433
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 4: who currently well was living in Massachusett's moved back to

1434
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 4: New York, is.

1435
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 5: A Kansas City fan of all.

1436
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 4: So he's been a Chiefs fan for years and years

1437
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 4: and years now, long before even the Alex Smith years

1438
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 4: of success that they enjoyed and transitioned into Patrick Mahomes.

1439
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 4: He goes, where's Chris Jones going? And I go is

1440
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 4: staying in Kansas City. Like all free agent players, unless

1441
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 4: something some sort of bombshell occurs or something really rough

1442
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 4: went down from a contract negotiation standpoint, prior to the

1443
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 4: player and the team trying to get together and hammer

1444
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 4: out a deal, it's almost always the case that the

1445
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 4: best fit for that free agent is right where they are.

1446
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 4: So Jones makes the most sense in Kansas City. And

1447
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 4: that's what I said a week ago when I was

1448
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 4: talking to my brother, and frankly I feel the same

1449
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 4: way about Kirk Cousins. Where is Kirk Cousins going to

1450
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 4: look better? Immediately after signing other than Minnesota. If Minnesota

1451
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 4: moves on from Kirk Cousins, what are they immediately looking

1452
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 4: for a new quarterback? And they're picking outside the top

1453
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 4: ten right now? In this year's NFL draft, even with

1454
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 4: a very crowded group of talented quarterbacks, you may miss

1455
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 4: out on all the big names by the time they

1456
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 4: get to select right.

1457
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 2: And the thing about Kirk Cousins, before the Achilles injury,

1458
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 2: he was playing his.

1459
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 3: Best football, no question. And the guy had a passer

1460
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 3: ratio of one hundred and four.

1461
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 2: Dude, I mean, the guy was playing his best football

1462
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 2: right before that injury. The only question obviously is coming

1463
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 2: off that Achilles.

1464
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, which if Viking, if.

1465
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 2: The Vikings feel like he is ready to go, then

1466
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 2: then it's a no brainer.

1467
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, you re signed Kirk Cousins.

1468
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 5: I think that I think that he is.

1469
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 4: He is one of those players who is It's not

1470
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 4: just what you see on the field, which appears to

1471
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 4: be getting better with Kevin O'Connell. He's also a huge

1472
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 4: leader for that Vikings unit offensively and team wide. I mean,

1473
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 4: think about how much this team loves him. You remember

1474
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 4: a year ago, this was the twenty twenty two regular

1475
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 4: season where they're coming back from a win. They're on

1476
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 4: the plane and Kirk is wearing like every single chain

1477
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 4: from his defensive players on the plane. He's got his

1478
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 4: shirt off, he's got all their chains on. You know,

1479
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 4: they got the rap music blast and he's taken pictures.

1480
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 4: It was, I mean, like, he's he's that guy. He's

1481
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 4: like basically like if Brock Purdy grows up in this

1482
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 4: league and continues to look like a Coles catalog model,

1483
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 4: he's going to be Kirk Cousins in eight or ten years.

1484
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 4: Like that's that's what Kirk Cousins is. He's kind of

1485
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 4: this milk To's family man. But he understands how to

1486
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 4: connect with his locker room.

1487
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 5: And that is.

1488
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 4: Enormously important, especially when we have the perfect example of

1489
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 4: how badly it could go when you have a player

1490
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 4: like Russell Wilson who apparently hadn't been able to connect

1491
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 4: with his locker room in Denver, because that's the only

1492
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 4: reason why you would swallow eighty five million dollars in

1493
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 4: dead cap money to move on from him.

1494
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 2: All right, So Kirk Cousins, I think we both agree,

1495
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 2: if he's healthy, is going to stay a Viking. H

1496
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 2: is Baker Mayfield going to remain with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1497
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 4: Another another team that it's kind of head scratching that

1498
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 4: they haven't gotten this deal done already. But I mean,

1499
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 4: the Baker Mayfield comes in and gets you a playoff win,

1500
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 4: and you're gonna turn your.

1501
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 5: Nose up at re signing him. Like, I just don't

1502
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 5: get it.

1503
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 3: He's twenty nine years old.

1504
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just don't get it. I don't either.

1505
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 3: I mean, would I would have, I would have resigned.

1506
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 4: I would have sat down at the table with his

1507
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 4: agents and try to get him immediately under contract.

1508
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 2: See, with all due respect to Joe Flacco, which was

1509
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 2: sort of a gimmick type story, Baker Mayfield was the

1510
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 2: comeback player of the Year. Yeah, I mean, this guy

1511
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,519
Speaker 2: was cast as a third string quarterback with the Rams

1512
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 2: after his exit from Carolina, comes back, starts every game

1513
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,680
Speaker 2: for Tampa, leads him to the playoffs. So if not,

1514
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,759
Speaker 2: I mean, our other team's gonna go after Baker Mayfield.

1515
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,759
Speaker 2: With the Falcons go after Baker Mayfield. The New England

1516
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 2: Patriots when they go after Baker Mayfield.

1517
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 4: I mean, like you know, I think almost like the

1518
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 4: running backs is gonna be after the draft. Maybe that's

1519
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 4: when the Baker market heaps up. If he's still a

1520
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 4: free agent, we'll see.

1521
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 3: Okay.

1522
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 2: On the other side, though, I'm gonna give you a

1523
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 2: name that nobody's talking about that could be a very

1524
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 2: attractive quarterback option.

1525
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 3: Keep it here for all the latest. This is Fox

01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 2: ready for selection Sunday. There are schools punching their ticket

1537
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 2: to the big Dance. It's a difficult year for me.

1538
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 2: I know Brian Fenley Befen's predicting a miracle run for

1539
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 2: UCLA in the Pac twelve tournament. I only hope they don't.

1540
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 2: I want to put a merciful end to what has

1541
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 2: been a very very forgettable season for UCLA, but it

1542
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 2: doesn't take away and we talk about this. You know,

1543
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 2: one thing I've been spoken to you about, rich is

1544
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 2: you know, obviously we're getting excited about an expanded, true

1545
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 2: first time ever playoff coming up in college football next

1546
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 2: year with the twelve school playoff, but already, already they're

1547
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 2: talking expansion like fourteen or sixteen. I think sixteen makes

1548
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 2: a lot of sense to me. I know you'd like

1549
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:44,759
Speaker 2: to go all the way, but here's what I don't

1550
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 2: want to see. I don't want to see any more

1551
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:51,839
Speaker 2: expansion in the NCAA basketball tournament. And let me explain why. Okay,

1552
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 2: so you have sixty eight schools. You have that first

1553
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 2: four and then you get down to sixty four, but

1554
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 2: you have sixty eight schools and why it's unnecessary And

1555
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 2: here's the beauty of college basketball. So I mentioned the

1556
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,879
Speaker 2: fact that my UCLA Bruins have had a miserable season,

1557
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 2: but the fact remains, we go into this week with

1558
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 2: the conference tournaments, and there is still a pathway for

1559
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:21,719
Speaker 2: every single school still to win the national championship because

1560
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:25,919
Speaker 2: you have the conference tournaments. So almost every conference tournament

1561
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 2: is all inclusive. They have every school involved, and if

1562
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 2: you get on a run. And by the way, don't

1563
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 2: say it's impossibly, because we've seen schools with losing records

1564
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,679
Speaker 2: suddenly winning their conference tournament and getting an automatic bid.

1565
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 2: So you already have an extra round to the NCAA Tournament.

1566
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,639
Speaker 2: It's called the conference tournaments, and they're all inclusive. So

1567
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 2: as we go into this week, will actually started this

1568
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 2: week with some of the smaller conferences, everyone still has

1569
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:59,759
Speaker 2: a chance if you can somehow miraculously get on a roll.

1570
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,719
Speaker 2: I always go back to that incredible story about Yukon

1571
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 2: back in the day. Remember this where they had to

1572
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 2: win five games and five nights, five consecutive nights to

1573
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 2: win the Big East Tournament, and then they went on

1574
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 2: to win the NCAA Tournament. So it's possible. So you

1575
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 2: don't need an expansion of the NCAA Tournament because you

1576
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 2: already have it with the conference tournaments, which is a

1577
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 2: way for you to control your own destiny and get

1578
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 2: into the big dance.

1579
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, in terms of college basketball playoff expansion, if they

1580
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 4: do that, they're completely missing the boat.

1581
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 5: I mean, this thing is perfect. It's perfect. I agree.

1582
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 4: Perfect is the word we've never in sports history, at

1583
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 4: very least to my knowledge, have had a better, more

1584
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 4: merit based way to filter through a wide berth of

1585
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 4: teams in a post season that really feels like it matters,

1586
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 4: like really truly feels like it matters, because you you

1587
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 4: become invested immediately with your own brackets. And then the

1588
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 4: Cinderella has become more interesting as we get our way

1589
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,959
Speaker 4: into the sweet sixteen, and then obviously the blue bloods

1590
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 4: and who they're facing, and there's a lot of you know,

1591
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:22,679
Speaker 4: alumni bases rooting for their teams. It's perfect. It is perfect.

1592
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 4: Don't change it. Don't change it. In terms of college football,

1593
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 4: I know there's a lot of people banting about, you know,

1594
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 4: college football expansion to twelve is you know, going to

1595
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 4: ruin the game in some way or somehow. Expanding it

1596
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 4: beyond that to fourteen is going to ruin the I say,

1597
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 4: don't stop there. I want college football. I want the

1598
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 4: playoff to be thirty two teams. I want the opening

1599
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 4: round to be played on college campuses. I want it

1600
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:55,600
Speaker 4: to take five games for a five postseason games for

1601
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 4: a national champion to emerge. I think that you could

1602
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 4: bridge the gap longer between the college football season and

1603
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 4: the end of the NFL season and have a tremendous

1604
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 4: amount of success because as we know, you know, down

1605
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 4: the stretch of the regular season in the NFL, you know,

1606
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 4: it becomes a little less important. Certain teams are you know,

1607
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 4: having people players resting and stuff like that.

1608
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 5: And so with college football.

1609
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 4: Advancing into their postseason, you could really capture some of

1610
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 4: that audience. I really, I'm I'm excited about expansion in

1611
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 4: college football, and I don't think they should be done,

1612
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 4: not by a long shot, anytime soon.

1613
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 2: Well, they will expand once they see the success. Oh,

1614
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 2: once they see the money flowing in and the interest

1615
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,679
Speaker 2: in these games. Believe me, they'll expand thirty two, we'll

1616
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 2: see sixteen for sure, I think down the road. But

1617
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 2: by the way, getting back to the basketball tournament, if

1618
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 2: you're one of those fans of a school that's one

1619
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 2: of those bubble teams and you don't get called and

1620
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 2: you're bitching a moaning, like we should have been in

1621
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 2: you had your chance. You could have guaranteed a slot

1622
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 2: by winning your conference tournament.

1623
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 3: So it wasn't like.

1624
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 2: You didn't have an opportunity to control your own destiny.

1625
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 2: Win the conference tournament. If you win your conference tournament,

1626
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 2: then you don't have to worry about in that large bid.

1627
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 2: You're automatically in no matter what your record was. So

1628
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 2: I just laugh at you bubble teams that you know,

1629
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 2: miss oh, we got screwed up at night. No, no,

1630
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 2: you blew your opportunity to guarantee a slot, which you

1631
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 2: could have done by winning your conference tournament. All right,

1632
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 2: I want to get back to We were talking quarterbacks

1633
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 2: as we get ready for this free agent week start

1634
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 2: a free agency in the National Football League. So we're

1635
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 2: talking about Kirk Cousins. We both agree that if healthy,

1636
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 2: he should remain a Viking. We're a little perplexed why

1637
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers have not gotten a deal done with Baker Mayfield.

1638
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 2: But there's another quarterback that no one is talking about

1639
01:26:56,280 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 2: that some people think actually could be the most attractive

1640
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:03,839
Speaker 2: free agent quarterback on the market. And it's not Russell Wilson,

1641
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:10,839
Speaker 2: it's not Ryan Tannehill. It's Jacoby Brissett. So Jacoby Brissett

1642
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 2: is now thirty one years of age. I saw NFL

1643
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 2: dot Com, did it?

1644
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 3: He says?

1645
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting that Brissett easily outplayed the quarterback

1646
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 2: before him in Cleveland who was Mayfield and the quarterback

1647
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 2: after him, Deshaun Watson, and then he played outstanding with

1648
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 2: the Commanders after he filled in for Sam Howe. This

1649
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 2: is a guy that started off in New England and

1650
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 2: he's had moments right and in some ways, I look

1651
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 2: at Jacoby Brissett and I'm thinking Gino Smith like a

1652
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 2: guy who is looking for an opportunity for a commitment.

1653
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 2: Like he's gotten glimpses here there along the way and

1654
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 2: has performed pretty well. Now I'm not saying he's going

1655
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 2: to be some kind of Pro Bowl quarterback, but at

1656
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:04,320
Speaker 2: the very least, he's thirty one years old. He could

1657
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:09,600
Speaker 2: be a stopgap quarterback out there. And it's just a

1658
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 2: question of who's looking for that kind of a quarterback.

1659
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 2: Because Seattle rolled the dice on Gino Smith, who was

1660
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 2: not supposed to play at all. They had made the

1661
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 2: deal Russell Wilson getting Drew Locke. We thought they were

1662
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 2: on their way to, you know, tanking a season to

1663
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 2: get a premium quarterback in the draft. Instead, they hand

1664
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 2: the ball to Gino Smith, and we've seen what he's

1665
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:30,839
Speaker 2: done over the last.

1666
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 3: Couple of years. I think Presec could be that kind

1667
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 3: of quarterback.

1668
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean potentially. Here's the interesting thing about the

1669
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 4: NFL these days. I think offensive coordinators are looking at

1670
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 4: quarterbacks differently than they ever did. I think that you

1671
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 4: have more offensive coordinators willing to amend the style of

1672
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 4: their offense to suit players than ever before when you

1673
01:28:56,720 --> 01:29:00,639
Speaker 4: had coaches, you know, like even Bill Bell Check through

1674
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,320
Speaker 4: a certain era of his coaching pass even though he

1675
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 4: was always more of an amendable coach in terms of

1676
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 4: playing style, game plan stuff like that. But there have

1677
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 4: been coaches Bill Cower, I mean, Mike Tomlin classically, at

1678
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 4: least on the offensive side of the football, until very recently,

1679
01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:22,440
Speaker 4: had coordinators who were, hey, look we are who we are.

1680
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 4: We have an identity of physicality on the offensive side

1681
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 4: of the ball. We're going to run the football out you.

1682
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 4: We're gonna major in play action. John Harball went through

1683
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 4: that for a long time with Joe Flacco in Baltimore

1684
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 4: before you know, really starting to change his ways and

1685
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 4: allow on offensive coordinator to work with Lamar Jackson to

1686
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:44,960
Speaker 4: build an offense around him. I mean, it's evolved to

1687
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 4: the point where now backup quarterbacks like a Gino Smith

1688
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:52,639
Speaker 4: or Baker Mayfield who's now flopped around on different rosters

1689
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,559
Speaker 4: for a couple of seasons, finds home in an offense

1690
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 4: where they say, okay, instead of just trying to fit

1691
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,639
Speaker 4: you into what we do here, we're going to build

1692
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 4: an offense that's comfortable to you, that's kurtailed to your talent.

1693
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:07,639
Speaker 4: And so that's the reason why we're seeing a lot

1694
01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 4: more backup quarterbacks when they get their opportunities as bridge

1695
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 4: quarterbacks or temporary starters, have success.

1696
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:20,559
Speaker 2: And then there's another quarterback whose career trajectory is not

1697
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 2: what I thought it was going to be, and that's

1698
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 2: Jameis Winston. Yeah, Jameis Winston is a year younger than Mersett.

1699
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:31,600
Speaker 2: He's thirty years of age. So his last year in

1700
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:34,799
Speaker 2: Tampa is sort of the defining moment of his career.

1701
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:39,679
Speaker 2: Thirty interceptions like that number just stands out. What they ignore,

1702
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 2: of course, is that he led the league with over

1703
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 2: five thousand yards passing. He averaged three hundred and nineteen

1704
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:48,679
Speaker 2: yards passing per game that year, starting all sixteen games.

1705
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 2: He also was second league in touchdown passes that year

1706
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 2: with thirty three. So he goes to the Saints, it's

1707
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 2: hard to believe he was in New Orleans for four years.

1708
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 2: Four years and the only time he got any significant

1709
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 2: time in New Orleans was during the twenty one season.

1710
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,839
Speaker 2: In seven starts, he was five and two with fourteen

1711
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 2: touchdowns and only three picks. Yeah, and then of course

1712
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,639
Speaker 2: Sean Payton left and he really wasn't in their mix.

1713
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:18,759
Speaker 2: And now he's back on the free age of market.

1714
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 3: I mentioned.

1715
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,120
Speaker 2: I keep going back to Geno Smith, someone that you know,

1716
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:24,360
Speaker 2: we weren't even most people don't even think he was

1717
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 2: still in the league. And then all of a sudden

1718
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 2: he shows up in Seattle and becomes a top level quarterback.

1719
01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 2: I mean, Jameis Winston from a talent standpoint.

1720
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 1: Has it.

1721
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 2: The question is there a team that can still bring

1722
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 2: it out in him? Because at age thirty, he's not

1723
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 2: too old. You can't give up on a talent like

1724
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 2: Jameis Winston. Question is is he ever going to get

1725
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:48,640
Speaker 2: another opportunity?

1726
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 4: I mean, it's so tough because look, with the good,

1727
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 4: there is the bad. You know, you look at a

1728
01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 4: guy like Jamis Winston and you say all those nice things,

1729
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 4: But Jamis Winston also the same way he's helped his

1730
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 4: teams over the course of his career win games. He's

1731
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 4: also many times the reason why you'll lose games or

1732
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 4: you should lose games. Like how many times did the

1733
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 4: Buccaneers have a three interception game while he was the

1734
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:20,719
Speaker 4: starting quarterback and still find a way to win.

1735
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 5: It happened, and it was frustrating.

1736
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you know when Bruce arians was there, when

1737
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:30,640
Speaker 4: you know it's one of those things where you have

1738
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 4: those moments here like what are we doing here? Like

1739
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,439
Speaker 4: why is it that our quarterback can't protect the football?

1740
01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 4: And I'm sure Sean Payne went through some of that

1741
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 4: with him in New Orleans during practice times when he

1742
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,639
Speaker 4: did get opportunities to start where it's just like, listen, Jameis,

1743
01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 4: you've been doing this for a long time. You know

1744
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:47,599
Speaker 4: where to go with the football. Why did you make

1745
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 4: this decision? You know, It's just certain quarterbacks in certain

1746
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,679
Speaker 4: moments they try to win the game and try instead

1747
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 4: of trying to get the first down. Like if there's

1748
01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:00,639
Speaker 4: one Drew one thing that Drew Brees that's separate him

1749
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 4: from the rest of the quarterbacks in the NFL, is

1750
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 4: Drew Brees was always satisfied getting the first down. He

1751
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:11,080
Speaker 4: was never worried about the touchdown. The touchdowns will come.

1752
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 4: If the shot is open downfield, I'm gonna take a shot,

1753
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:15,759
Speaker 4: Michael Thomas whoever.

1754
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:18,000
Speaker 5: If the shots open, I'll find you.

1755
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,679
Speaker 4: But if it isn't there, I'm getting the first down

1756
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:24,640
Speaker 4: because guess what first downs mean. First downs mean if

1757
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 4: we get enough of them, we're getting in the end

1758
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,200
Speaker 4: zone anyway. So I don't care. I just don't care.

1759
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 4: And he was accurate and he was great because of it.

1760
01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:35,200
Speaker 4: Jameis Winston, for whatever reason, he's one of these quarterbacks

1761
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 4: who just doesn't appear to have the patient's requisite to

1762
01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 4: be a trusted all time starter in this league, because

1763
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 4: he'll have a bunch of good series and then all

1764
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:52,320
Speaker 4: of a sudden, he'll do something confoundingly stupid. Where you go, no, Bud, No,

1765
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 4: you didn't need to throw it into triple coverage, across

1766
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 4: your body, ranging to your left and throwing it right

1767
01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 4: over the middle of the field. Like, you're not that guy.

1768
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:04,640
Speaker 4: You're not Aaron Rodgers, you're not Patrick Mahomes. That's not

1769
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:07,880
Speaker 4: what you do. Jamis, Like, what were you thinking? You

1770
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,680
Speaker 4: could have gained five yards on your legs and it

1771
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 4: could have been third and five. But now the defense

1772
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 4: has the football and our opposing offense is taking the

1773
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:19,080
Speaker 4: field because of you. So until he cleans up that

1774
01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:22,760
Speaker 4: aspect of the game or finds a coach who can

1775
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:25,480
Speaker 4: train that out of him, he is going to continue

1776
01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 4: being relied on as a backup in this league.

1777
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:27,720
Speaker 10: All right.

1778
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:31,120
Speaker 2: On the other side, we always go with the glory positions, right,

1779
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 2: but there is a player on the free agent market

1780
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 2: that actually could be the biggest steal of this free agency.

1781
01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 2: And he's not a quarterback, not a running back, plays

1782
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 2: a position a lot of people don't pay attention to

1783
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 2: they should. Will tell you why. This is Fox Sports Sunday,

Speaker 3: Those days are gone.

1796
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:30,759
Speaker 2: We got a busy week coming up in the NFL

1797
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 2: this week with free agency and of course that's going

1798
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 2: to lead eventually into the NFL Draft. Obviously, we're getting

1799
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 2: down the stretch in the NBA regular season and next Sunday,

1800

Speaker 2: is going to be here coming up on our next air,

Speaker 3: So the nice time of the year right now, Richie.

1805
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 2: By the way, here on the West coast, we've got

1806
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 2: a lot of rain this year. Yeah, but now it

1807
01:35:58,240 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 2: seems like the sunshine is coming out.

1808
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:03,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and you mention it with the sports

1809
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:07,759
Speaker 4: calendar turning back toward you know, the normal fever pitch,

1810
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 4: it's like pick your poison, you know. If you're an

1811
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:14,320
Speaker 4: NBA fan, Well, basketball is starting to really matter as

1812
01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 4: we get closer to the playing tournament, you know, college

1813
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 4: basketball obviously with Selection Sunday, like you mentioned, golf, the

1814
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 4: majors are coming around. We're getting ready for augusta hear

1815
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:28,559
Speaker 4: pretty soon, and then the NFL. It's just the the

1816
01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 4: year round sport. Now with NFL free agency and trades

1817
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:35,799
Speaker 4: and then the combine that just took over last week

1818
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 4: and then the upcoming draft. It's you can really you

1819
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 4: can turn your sports viewing or interest direction in any

1820
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 4: direction and you will be satiated by something.

1821
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:47,639
Speaker 5: All right.

1822
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:52,640
Speaker 2: So getting back to free agency, and the question is

1823
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:57,040
Speaker 2: who which free agent could actually command the biggest dollar

1824
01:36:57,200 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 2: on the free agent market. And I'm going to throw

1825
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:03,800
Speaker 2: a name at you because I think it's possible. This

1826
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 2: guy's an eight time Pro Bowler. This is a guy

1827
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:10,080
Speaker 2: that had a bounce back season in twenty twenty three

1828
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 2: after several years of being hurt. And he's thirty three

1829
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,599
Speaker 2: years of age, which for his position is far from old.

1830
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Tyron Smith, who for the last thirteen

1831
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 2: years obviously has been a mainstay on that Dallas Cowboys

1832
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:25,880
Speaker 2: offensive line. He had a big bounce back year in

1833
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:28,799
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. He had some injuries the previous years.

1834
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:32,719
Speaker 2: He grated out well with Pro Football Focus. He played

1835
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 2: second team AP All Pro, so he got back to

1836
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 2: an elite level and now he's on the free agent market.

1837
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,800
Speaker 2: And I always go back to Trent Williams. Remember his

1838
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 2: last year in Washington, he had that cancerous growth on

1839
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 2: his head and he was sort of placed on. He

1840
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 2: didn't clear the medical exams of the then Redskins, and

1841
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 2: so they told his agent, look, you know, he was

1842
01:37:57,240 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 2: having a problem with his helmet or something else like that.

1843
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 2: So they gave them permission to try to work a deal,

1844
01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 2: and the forty nine ers got him for a third

1845
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:07,880
Speaker 2: and a fifth a third and a fifth. A year later,

1846
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 2: he became the highest paid offensive line in the league,

1847
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:14,719
Speaker 2: and since then he's only added to his obvious first

1848
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 2: ballot Hall of Fame resume. I'm not saying Tyron Smith

1849
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 2: is Trent Williams, but he's awfully good and certainly from

1850
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 2: what he did a year ago for Dallas, looking like

1851
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 2: the guy that he was earlier in his career. I'm

1852
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 2: telling you, somebody may throw a pretty big number at

1853
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 2: Tyron Smith.

1854
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 5: I disagree.

1855
01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 4: The highest paid free agent signing is going to be

1856
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins, and it's even going to be closed.

1857
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 3: But I mean talking about going to a different team.

1858
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, So what I'm saying is, yeah, Kirk Cousins staying.

1859
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 2: But if if we're because Tyron Smith is not going

1860
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:50,639
Speaker 2: to stay in Dallas.

1861
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:51,639
Speaker 5: That's correct.

1862
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 2: So I'm talking about a free agent that's going to

1863
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 2: be signed by a different team.

1864
01:38:56,360 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 4: Well, don't sleep on Christian Wilkins. Who who is a

1865
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:05,479
Speaker 4: defensive tackle who's going to be sought after here on

1866
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:09,720
Speaker 4: the open market leaving Miami. I'm trying to think of

1867
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:12,240
Speaker 4: who else defensive edge guys. I know Chase Young is,

1868
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:14,200
Speaker 4: but I don't think he's gonna get broke off. How

1869
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 4: about Danil Hunter out of Minnesota, another guy who potentially

1870
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 4: could leave the Vikings, he could get broke off.

1871
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:24,720
Speaker 5: I mean, there are a couple other guys.

1872
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:28,240
Speaker 4: That I would put ahead of Tyron Smith in terms

1873
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:31,000
Speaker 4: of being able to lure a team into paying them

1874
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 4: huge money. And I'm talking about, like you mentioned, going

1875
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,559
Speaker 4: to a different team and getting a huge contract. And

1876
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 4: I guess the jury's not out on Kirk Cousins. You know,

1877
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 4: if one of these teams out there is willing to

1878
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,479
Speaker 4: spend for Kirk Cousins, they could get Kirk Cousins. Here's

1879
01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 4: the problem for any team who's interested in Kirk Cousins,

1880
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 4: and this is true of any veteran quarterback, You're gonna

1881
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 4: have a hard time or a harder time. I should

1882
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:59,559
Speaker 4: say building around that contract, then you will if you

1883
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 4: draft rookie or if you get somebody for less. So

1884
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:05,519
Speaker 4: if you sign a Baker Mayfield as opposed to a

1885
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins, is he as good as Kirk Cousins know?

1886
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:12,040
Speaker 4: Probably not? But are you gonna have more flexibility with

1887
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:13,000
Speaker 4: your salary cap?

1888
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1889
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 4: Absolutely, If you're going to draft a quarterback, there's no

1890
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 4: question you're gonna have a much easier time building around

1891
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 4: a quarterback. So that is the big bugaboo here. When

1892
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 4: you're signing a veteran free agent quarterback, or if you're

1893
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 4: re signing a quarterback in your minnesota is you got

1894
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:33,240
Speaker 4: to understand what you're sacrificing and you have to be

1895
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:34,680
Speaker 4: ready for that sacrifice.

1896
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 2: All right, But I guess again, as you structure your

1897
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:44,639
Speaker 2: salaries that you're dispersing to your team, there's a there's

1898
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:47,640
Speaker 2: an order to them. Obviously, quarterback is going to be

1899
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 2: if it's an established quarterback is going to be the biggest,

1900
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 2: biggest nut to cover. After that, we talk about edge rushers,

1901
01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:04,240
Speaker 2: talk about offensive tackles. Wide receivers keep creeping up on

1902
01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 2: this list his highest paid guys on the team. I

1903
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 2: just look at Tyron Smith, who honestly was underpaid a

1904
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 2: year ago. Yeah, and he did revert to form and

1905
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:19,160
Speaker 2: that was a pretty high level.

1906
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:20,559
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.

1907
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out priorities here in terms of

1908
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:29,800
Speaker 2: how you spend your money. And obviously salary cap is

1909
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:34,680
Speaker 2: going to significantly for the NFL, biggest increase from year

1910
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:38,160
Speaker 2: to year. Ever with this television, it's only going to

1911
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:41,680
Speaker 2: go up from there. I mean, how much of a

1912
01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 2: difference makers Trent Williams been for the forty nine ers.

1913
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:47,920
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been an enormous difference maker, so much

1914
01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:52,200
Speaker 4: so that it's really Trent Williams and company like you

1915
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,599
Speaker 4: don't really talk about the rest of the offensive line

1916
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:58,599
Speaker 4: because they're not as good or even close to being

1917
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:02,360
Speaker 4: on the level as a Trent Williams. In terms of

1918
01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 4: Tyrone Smith, I mean, I agree with you, an aging

1919
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 4: veteran with a pretty extensive injury history could help you.

1920
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:12,479
Speaker 5: If he stays healthy.

1921
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 4: But there's that if that lingers out there, it's it's

1922
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:19,439
Speaker 4: not a one hundred percent and it's a very violent position,

1923
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 4: and so you worry about making a signing like that.

1924
01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:25,400
Speaker 4: There is no worry when you make a signing like

1925
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:27,800
Speaker 4: you know, then some of the names I was, you know,

1926
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:31,200
Speaker 4: thrown out there, like a Danielle Hunter or a Christian

1927
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:34,639
Speaker 4: Wilkins or you know. I mean, I'm trying to think

1928
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,720
Speaker 4: of wide receivers who are available in free agency right now.

1929
01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:39,599
Speaker 4: A little bit of slim pickens there, but.

1930
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 5: A lot of these.

1931
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 4: I guess Martisse Brown potentially he's available. Trying to think

1932
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 4: of other ones. But yeah, you have these opportunities to

1933
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:54,320
Speaker 4: bolster your roster. You want you want to go with

1934
01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:56,720
Speaker 4: somebody who you know is going to have a an

1935
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 4: immediate impact, which toront Smith absolutely bill if he signs

1936
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:04,560
Speaker 4: with any team. But b can stay healthy and that

1937
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 4: that is a big if with Smith.

1938
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 5: All right.

1939
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 2: On the other side, I'm going to bring Bo into

1940
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 2: the mix here. Got some very important things to talk

1941
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 2: to Bo Benson about our esteem producer. But first let's

1942
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 2: talk about what is trending right now. Brian Finley, a

1943
01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:24,200
Speaker 2: man grossly under paid a year ago, grossly underpaid now,

1944
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 2: but a man still brings an a plus level of

1945
01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:30,439
Speaker 2: effort every single Well, that's.

1946
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:31,559
Speaker 3: Why this isn't my only job.

1947
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 8: You can't, you know, right live off it.

1948
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:40,400
Speaker 2: Well, no, I understand what you're saying, I mean, in

1949
01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:43,839
Speaker 2: this industry, holding down a multitude of jobs is important.

1950
01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 3: You have to.

1951
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's always different schools of thought. But for me,

1952
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 8: versatility is employability. And you know, you could say that

1953
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:53,800
Speaker 8: somebody says, we'll get really good at one thing.

1954
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:55,360
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure about it.

1955
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 2: Well, it depends on your required level of living. Now

1956
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:01,600
Speaker 2: riches I to what I'm comfortable with.

1957
01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:04,360
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, let's put it this way.

1958
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,639
Speaker 4: I don't know if you can name a salary that's

1959
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 4: enough for Steve Hartman. I mean, because because what is

1960
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 4: enough after all?

1961
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1962
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 5: I mean, did he need the marble staircase?

1963
01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 3: No, yeah, it's rigid.

1964
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 8: It's funny you say that because I picture Steve as

1965
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 8: somebody who only needs a shower once a week and

1966
01:44:22,479 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 8: he can live in a cardboard box.

1967
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:28,639
Speaker 3: Well, and I did do that, it is.

1968
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 5: But there's a lot of requests around Steve.

1969
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:35,320
Speaker 3: Let's well, exactly, how do you spend your money?

1970
01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:39,320
Speaker 2: I don't need a lot in terms of my living space, No,

1971
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 2: I just I just need a roof over my head,

1972
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 2: couch and a couch, you know, and everything after that

1973
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:46,720
Speaker 2: is SuperFect.

1974
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 8: Like there's a lot of people that have like these

1975
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 8: maybe eight feet by ten foot like wooden sheds. You

1976
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:56,759
Speaker 8: don't know, I was gonna say that would be perfect.

1977
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 8: Every time I see one of these programs about, you know,

1978
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:04,080
Speaker 8: those small possible living space, I get excited. I get

1979
01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:07,000
Speaker 8: excited about that all of the things you get excited about.

1980
01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:11,559
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, it's like, how small of a space

1981
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 2: could I actually live in?

1982
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I'm gonna leave that one right there before

1983
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:19,760
Speaker 8: I send the show into a ditch. As far as

1984
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 8: college basketball is concerned, we do have Caitlin Clark coming

1985

1988

Speaker 8: with NCAA tournament bursts. The second team to make it

1989
01:45:36,360 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 8: into the Big Dance would be Longwood University from Farmville, Virginia,

1990
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:46,840
Speaker 8: undergraduate number thirty two hundred as they take out UNC Ashville.

1991

2007
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 8: Rich Ornberger.

2008
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll read about my retirement when you read my obituary.

2009
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:49,520
Speaker 2: That'll be that'll be my That'll be my sudden announcement

2010
01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:50,160
Speaker 2: of retirement.

2011
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:53,559
Speaker 3: Very small, very compact living space exactly. You also look

2012
01:46:53,600 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 3: like you're thirty five.

2013
01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:57,559
Speaker 2: Steves, Well, that's very nice of you to say. By

2014
01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,799
Speaker 2: the way, the coach and I you mentioned John Kinterra,

2015
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 2: we're literally three days apart.

2016
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:02,519
Speaker 3: He told me that.

2017
01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is I used to joke with him

2018
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 2: because he's three days older.

2019
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 5: Igo.

2020
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 3: This must have been three tough days. That's all I said, Well.

2021
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:12,400
Speaker 2: I say that lovingly because I mean he is a

2022
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:13,479
Speaker 2: sweetheart of a man.

2023
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 5: That I love dearly.

2024
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:18,679
Speaker 2: All right, well, very much defen that last story turns

2025
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 2: our attention to our steam producer, Bo Benson. So, Bo,

2026
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 2: apparently your entire Eagles team is quitting on your right now.

2027
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:29,799
Speaker 2: Fletcher Cox, by the way, is very much an arguable

2028
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:33,160
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame candidate, six time pro bowler, made the

2029
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:37,759
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame All twenty tens decade team, only thirty

2030
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:41,400
Speaker 2: three years of age, just turned thirty three. He decides

2031
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:44,360
Speaker 2: to hang it up. Jason Kelsey, who had denied that

2032
01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 2: he had ever told anyone after their playoff disaster against

2033
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 2: Tampa that he had said to anyone that he was

2034
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:54,639
Speaker 2: going to retire, he is retiring as well. Your Eagles

2035
01:47:54,640 --> 01:47:57,559
Speaker 2: team is falling apart right now, and I'm how do

2036
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 2: we get this thing back together and back on track?

2037
01:48:00,479 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 10: First, I just want to shout out Fletcher Cox's greatest

2038
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 10: moment of his career when he trash talked George Bush. Yeah,

2039
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 10: the sideline. That's a tough one. But uh, they'll be fine,

2040
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 10: I think, Uh, and you know yesterday, Uh they're gonna

2041
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:18,160
Speaker 10: probably trade sweat and uh Reddick if if the deals

2042
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:21,680
Speaker 10: pop up, so a lot of change. But hey, man,

2043
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 10: who knows, they'll be fine. It's big, a big year

2044
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 10: for Jailing Carter and Jordan Davis to step up.

2045
01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 3: Well, first, it's a big year for Nick Siriani, is

2046
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 3: what it is?

2047
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:35,160
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean you you don't you want to

2048
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 2: come back Coach of the Year.

2049
01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:41,040
Speaker 10: And I do not know, I do not like Nick Sirianni.

2050
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:44,520
Speaker 2: Well, I mean when your wheels fall off as dramatically

2051
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:46,080
Speaker 2: as they did for the Eagles a year ago.

2052
01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:48,799
Speaker 4: Guys, this was a ten and one coach Week eleven,

2053
01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:50,440
Speaker 4: week twelve, you remember.

2054
01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then they want to one game the rest

2055
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 3: of the way.

2056
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 10: Then you get the story that Big Dom's on the

2057
01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:57,040
Speaker 10: sideline because they need someone to control the head coach's emotions,

2058
01:48:57,040 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 10: and you kind of feel a little off about that.

2059
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:03,559
Speaker 4: Everybody needs, like everybody needs an ear to bend, and

2060
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:04,759
Speaker 4: his was Big Dumbs.

2061
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 3: That's all.

2062
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 2: I just the interesting thing about the Eagles organization it

2063
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:17,320
Speaker 2: is that every time that they suddenly they jump to

2064
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 2: the spotlight within a couple of wheels fall off.

2065
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:23,720
Speaker 10: But if there's one guy I trust to fix it,

2066
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 10: it's Howie Roseman And you know, they'll have some.

2067
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 2: He's had to fix his own miss a few times,

2068
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 2: for sure. That's the thing about Howie Roseman. I mean,

2069
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:35,519
Speaker 2: when you think about it, you can make an argument

2070
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 2: that he's put together a Hall of fame resume as

2071
01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 2: an executive, but a lot of his best work is

2072
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:44,600
Speaker 2: undoing his own mistakes.

2073
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:49,719
Speaker 4: Okay, well, okay, let's let's let's face this. Every general

2074
01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:52,639
Speaker 4: manager is going to step in it from time to time. Overall,

2075
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 4: Bow as a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, how would

2076
01:49:56,200 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 4: you how would you say? How would you grade his

2077
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:02,839
Speaker 4: roster can truction over the course of his time in control?

2078
01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 10: A plus? Yeah?

2079
01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:07,000
Speaker 3: He plus? A plus is perfect?

2080
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think he's perfect. I would give him in

2081
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 10: the Super Bowls.

2082
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:14,240
Speaker 5: Hey, I would give it him man, Yeah, I think

2083
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:14,960
Speaker 5: I agree with that.

2084
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 4: I think I think overall he's made a lot more

2085
01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 4: hits than miss, even the backups who they've had to rely.

2086
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:23,880
Speaker 5: On at times through his tenure.

2087
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:26,759
Speaker 2: He's also pulled off from some remarkable deals, getting DeAndre

2088
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 2: Swift for the like I think what was it a

2089
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 2: third round? Yeah, and got good production out of him

2090
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:33,640
Speaker 2: and Jalen Carter this year in the draft play. How

2091
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:37,760
Speaker 2: about his choice and coaches. Well you know so, I mean,

2092
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:39,800
Speaker 2: I mean that's part of.

2093
01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 4: Well, hang on, yes, super Bowl. He won a super Bowl. Yeah,

2094
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 4: he went to a super Bowl.

2095
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 2: It wasn't for some free Patriots the ball they knocked

2096
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:53,719
Speaker 2: over like the Giants of of of Trent Dilfer years.

2097
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:56,040
Speaker 4: Well yeah, and by the way, like you think about

2098
01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:58,840
Speaker 4: he beat the Patriots, or I should say Peterson, Doug

2099
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:02,799
Speaker 4: Peterson the coach again Bill Belichick. Tom Brady is a quarterback.

2100
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:04,680
Speaker 4: They beat him with their backup quarterback. And then he

2101
01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:08,080
Speaker 4: hires a coach who, in what his third year, goes

2102
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:11,719
Speaker 4: against goaes tow to tow with the Kansas City Chiefs,

2103
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 4: the next dynasty in the NFL, and.

2104
01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 5: His quarterback out duels Patrick.

2105
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 10: Mahomes really probably should have won that game in retrospect.

2106
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:20,599
Speaker 3: Well, here's the other thing.

2107
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:23,439
Speaker 2: So we not had a repeat champion almost twenty years

2108
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:27,680
Speaker 2: now in the NFC East. After Anny Reid and the

2109
01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 2: Eagles won four straight NFC East titles from one to

2110
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 2: zero four, there has not been a repeat champion. Now,

2111
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:35,960
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone here is picking the Commanders or

2112
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 2: the Giants to win the NFC East in twenty twenty four, anybody.

2113
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:43,240
Speaker 2: So if it's not the Cowboys, it's got to be

2114
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:44,000
Speaker 2: the Eagles again.

2115
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:46,880
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, Well, well here's the thing.

2116
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:51,479
Speaker 4: I mean, at first blush like looking at them losing

2117
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:55,160
Speaker 4: Jason Kelcey and now watching them lose Fletcher Cox, who

2118
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:59,840
Speaker 4: was arguably one of their most productive players on their roster.

2119
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:03,760
Speaker 4: I mean, you're losing two ten polls of this of

2120
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:06,920
Speaker 4: this team. I'm taking the Dallas Cowboys all day long

2121
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 4: to win the division in the nfcas well.

2122
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:13,599
Speaker 2: The logic would say you're right. Yeah, yeah, but history

2123
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:14,439
Speaker 2: says you're wrong.

2124
01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 4: Well I know that, but you can't. Look every year

2125
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 4: is a new year. You can't necessarily.

2126
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:22,720
Speaker 2: But didn't we all agree going into this year and

2127
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:26,080
Speaker 2: when we started to make our preseason predictions that the

2128
01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:29,559
Speaker 2: Eagles would break that streak. I mean they were coming

2129
01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:31,680
Speaker 2: off a year where, again, if it wasn't for a

2130
01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:35,000
Speaker 2: fluke dropping of the ball by Jalen Hurts in the

2131
01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:35,599
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.

2132
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:39,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, you take that one play away, it's Pete Perry.

2133
01:52:40,080 --> 01:52:43,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the Eagles easily could win that game. Hurts

2134
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:47,479
Speaker 2: outplayed Mahomes in that game. So with the exception of

2135
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:50,800
Speaker 2: that one freaky play, so we're all in the thinking that,

2136
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:53,479
Speaker 2: all right, no one's done in eighteen years. At that point,

2137
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 2: Eagles will repeat and then they start the year ten

2138
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 2: to one and then.

2139
01:52:58,160 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 3: The wheels fall off. Yeah, and the Cowboys got back

2140
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:02,840
Speaker 3: to the top.

2141
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:05,639
Speaker 2: I think he bounced back, but I'm trying to figure

2142
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:08,000
Speaker 2: out a path as they get almost every day.

2143
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 3: Now, somebody else's leading me think.

2144
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 4: Lane Johnson could be next. By the way, Lane Johnson,

2145
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 4: who is to me, I'm just.

2146
01:53:15,080 --> 01:53:16,280
Speaker 5: Saying he could be.

2147
01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 4: Now, I've seen some off season workout videos that he's

2148
01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:21,160
Speaker 4: been putting out. He looks like he's ready to play

2149
01:53:21,160 --> 01:53:25,360
Speaker 4: for another five years. But I mean, look, James Harrison

2150
01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:27,439
Speaker 4: still puts out offseason workout videos.

2151
01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 5: He's been retired for like eight or nine seasons.

2152
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,760
Speaker 2: Now, I think rich to your tent pole thing like that.

2153
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:36,479
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna say losing Kelsey to deprives them

2154
01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:39,280
Speaker 2: of the tush push or whatever we call it. But

2155
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:42,719
Speaker 2: at the same time, like we've seen the importance centers

2156
01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 2: and staving off interior pressure now for multiple teams across

2157
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,559
Speaker 2: the NFL, Like if you have a really top center,

2158
01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 2: your tea, your offensive line has that lynchpin like it's

2159
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:55,759
Speaker 2: it's it is critical to have that. I mean, focus

2160
01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:57,920
Speaker 2: goes to the tackles, which are very important, but that

2161
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,759
Speaker 2: center is so important, and that's someone you they really

2162
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:04,479
Speaker 2: have to hit on in a draft or some replaced.

2163
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,280
Speaker 10: The good news for the Eagles is that Kelsey did

2164
01:54:06,280 --> 01:54:09,000
Speaker 10: handpick his successor, I believe last year of the year before.

2165
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:11,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, uh he did.

2166
01:54:12,200 --> 01:54:14,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, they went to him for input. I think it.

2167
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,080
Speaker 10: I think Cam Jurgen's was drafted as a center. But

2168
01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 10: they've been playing MC guard until Kelsey retires.

2169
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:21,640
Speaker 3: Okay, you know what hand picked successors?

2170
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:25,679
Speaker 2: I remember this, Uh, a valued friend of both Rich

2171
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:28,559
Speaker 2: and I, former teammate of Rich, Nick Hardwick, was a

2172
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,720
Speaker 2: mainstay in the middle of that Chargers offensive line, and

2173
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 2: they had designated several guys. Now Rich could have been

2174
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:37,760
Speaker 2: that guy, but unfortunately for Rich he couldn't stay healthy.

2175
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:41,240
Speaker 2: But they kept drafting guys. This will be the heir apparent.

2176
01:54:41,600 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2177
01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:45,360
Speaker 2: Fail fail, I mean, how many failed centers did they

2178
01:54:45,400 --> 01:54:48,920
Speaker 2: have over the next several years After your abrupt retirement

2179
01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:56,440
Speaker 2: and the retirement your abrupt retirement, they thought, you know,

2180
01:54:56,520 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 2: we have the answer for Nick coming to the end

2181
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:01,600
Speaker 2: of his career in Rich Ornberger.

2182
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 3: But you know, abruptly you retired, definitely.

2183
01:55:05,160 --> 01:55:07,800
Speaker 5: I think my back retired me.

2184
01:55:08,160 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 2: I remember very emotional press conference during that retirement. All right,

2185
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:17,400
Speaker 2: coming up, all right, we got we got more free

2186
01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:18,160
Speaker 2: agency news.

2187
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 3: And here's the thing. We talk about these free agents.

2188
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:23,440
Speaker 2: There are still teams that got to get rid of

2189
01:55:23,480 --> 01:55:27,040
Speaker 2: players over the next couple of days. What other big

2190
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:30,919
Speaker 2: names could we be talking about as potential free agents?

2191
01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:33,880
Speaker 2: We'll tell you. This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harvey,

2192
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:37,240
Speaker 2: rich Omberger, Fox Sports Sunday. We're live from the tairaq

2193
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:40,240
Speaker 2: dot com studios. Quick note, a couple of people on

2194
01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 2: the social media have asked about Lucky Less Shoe that

2195
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:44,080
Speaker 2: I missed Luckiless Shoe.

2196
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:44,839
Speaker 5: This is the beauty.

2197
01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:47,680
Speaker 2: As soon as we're off the air, our podcast goes up.

2198
01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:50,880
Speaker 2: So again, you still got a little time before the

2199
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 2: Academy Awards. If you want the winners ahead of time,

2200
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 2: you know, some friendly wagers whatever it might be. But

2201
01:55:58,080 --> 01:56:01,760
Speaker 2: we talked to him in the second hour, so yeah,

2202
01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:03,120
Speaker 2: well it's all.

2203
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 3: There for you.

2204
01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 2: Quickly go through all the picks. All right, I want

2205
01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:10,280
Speaker 2: to talk Rich about the Chargers situation. So they have

2206
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:14,720
Speaker 2: four players, Keenan, Allen Khalil, Mack, Joey Bosa and Mike Williams.

2207
01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:19,320
Speaker 2: As their contracts are currently structured for twenty twenty four,

2208
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:22,800
Speaker 2: those four guys actually take up more than half their cap.

2209
01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:26,280
Speaker 3: Under the current structure of their deals.

2210
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they still haven't reached a decision on any

2211
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:33,920
Speaker 2: one of these guys. And there's still I believe, about

2212
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:36,720
Speaker 2: eighteen million over the cap. The charges have got to

2213
01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:40,720
Speaker 2: get under that number obviously by Wednesday. Now, if I

2214
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:42,800
Speaker 2: were to make a prediction here, I don't think Keenan

2215
01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 2: Allen's going anywhere.

2216
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:46,240
Speaker 3: He's going to be a Charger for life. He should be.

2217
01:56:46,280 --> 01:56:49,440
Speaker 2: He's been one of the great players in that franchise history.

2218
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 2: Rework his deal. Khalil Mack obviously, I think even at

2219
01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 2: this stage of his career, coming off another big year

2220
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 2: has got trade value, and I think that might beat

2221
01:57:01,240 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 2: the route with him as far as Bosa, who can't

2222
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:06,360
Speaker 2: stay healthy, and of course Mike William's coming off an

2223
01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 2: ACL tear.

2224
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:11,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I just cut him loose, just save a

2225
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:12,400
Speaker 3: lot of money. I don't know.

2226
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:15,200
Speaker 2: I mean, let's go, let's go with the Klil Mack situation.

2227
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 2: How much do you think on the market you can

2228
01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 2: get for coloil.

2229
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 5: Mac Khalil Mack.

2230
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:25,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's probably there's probably a team

2231
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:30,280
Speaker 4: if desperate enough, would trade you for a third round

2232
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:32,080
Speaker 4: draft pick for Khalil Matt.

2233
01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:34,480
Speaker 3: At least I think I think a third yeah.

2234
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:38,080
Speaker 4: But I don't think there's anybody that desperate right now.

2235
01:57:38,280 --> 01:57:42,480
Speaker 4: See the problem with free agency opening when when it

2236
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,720
Speaker 4: OpEd well, or I should say the league year starting

2237
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:47,920
Speaker 4: where it starts, and having to get under that number

2238
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:51,040
Speaker 4: is there's a lot of teams who are they're they're

2239
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:53,760
Speaker 4: they got their draft board up right now, like they're thinking, like,

2240
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 4: if we have any problems on the defensive line, we're

2241
01:57:56,680 --> 01:57:59,200
Speaker 4: going to try to address them in this upcoming draft

2242
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:01,320
Speaker 4: and get a lot cheaper than whatever we'd have to

2243
01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:05,080
Speaker 4: pay Khalil Mack, who's aging quickly, and even though he's

2244
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:08,120
Speaker 4: coming off a monster year with the Los Angeles Chargers,

2245
01:58:08,920 --> 01:58:13,000
Speaker 4: you know, statistically, does he fit your scheme? How long

2246
01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 4: can he really help you for? Is he going to

2247
01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:17,960
Speaker 4: be as effective in your scheme as he was in

2248
01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:21,760
Speaker 4: LA You know, So there's all these questions that obviously

2249
01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 4: you'll have to answer with a younger plane come in too,

2250
01:58:24,760 --> 01:58:27,040
Speaker 4: but the financial burden won't be there.

2251
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 5: So I think.

2252
01:58:28,320 --> 01:58:32,680
Speaker 4: Williams Bosa, Mack, all three of them are big time

2253
01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:36,960
Speaker 4: trade candidates and if not, like you said, they might

2254
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:39,720
Speaker 4: be salary cap sacrifices. You might see some of these

2255
01:58:39,720 --> 01:58:44,400
Speaker 4: guys just get hemmed and cut before the day starts

2256
01:58:44,400 --> 01:58:47,840
Speaker 4: on Wednesday, because there's just no other way to handle

2257
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:48,520
Speaker 4: the situation.

2258
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 3: Well, and that's exactly the case.

2259
01:58:50,880 --> 01:58:53,880
Speaker 2: I mean, if you can't trade somebody, yeah, and you

2260
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:56,760
Speaker 2: need caprily, your only option is to cut him loose.

2261
01:58:56,920 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 5: That's it.

2262
01:58:57,560 --> 01:59:00,880
Speaker 2: And so if there was any interest in I mean

2263
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 2: Mack has interest because obviously he's coming off a Pro

2264
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:08,240
Speaker 2: Bowl season. But with Bosa, who's just been a huge

2265
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:11,720
Speaker 2: disappointment in the sense that he is a Pro Bowl

2266
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:15,080
Speaker 2: caliber player, He's been to several Pro Bowls, just can't

2267
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:18,720
Speaker 2: stay healthy. And then the Mike Williams situation again, a

2268
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:21,960
Speaker 2: big target. I mean, you talk about a guy, this

2269
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:24,080
Speaker 2: is a guy I remember they drafted right ahead of

2270
01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:27,160
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey. I mean we were talking about it at

2271
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:30,520
Speaker 2: the time, and you know, Mike Williams had had some

2272
01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 2: injury problems in college. When he is healthy, he is

2273
01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:39,440
Speaker 2: a nightmare for opposing secondaries. Yeah, I mean, he is

2274
01:59:39,480 --> 01:59:44,480
Speaker 2: a big target. He can catch the football, But you

2275
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:46,520
Speaker 2: know ACL tear yikes.

2276
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's missed twenty seven of the one hundred

2277
01:59:49,360 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 4: and fifteen games he's been available for. So if you

2278
01:59:52,440 --> 01:59:55,880
Speaker 4: think about it, you're you're missing him twenty five percent

2279
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:56,440
Speaker 4: of the time.

2280
01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:57,240
Speaker 5: It's tough.

2281
01:59:57,720 --> 01:59:58,360
Speaker 3: It is tough.

2282
01:59:58,440 --> 02:00:01,360
Speaker 2: So these are names though, that over the next couple

2283
02:00:01,360 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 2: of days could show up because they've got to make

2284
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:07,960
Speaker 2: moves again. The Charger as still like eighteen million over

2285
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:10,080
Speaker 2: Saints always seem to be over the cap.

2286
02:00:10,120 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 3: They got to make some moves.

2287
02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:14,040
Speaker 2: So there's still names that we're not even talking about

2288
02:00:14,240 --> 02:00:16,440
Speaker 2: that will end up on that free agent list. All right,

2289
02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:19,240
Speaker 2: coming up on the side, more NFL talk and we'll

2290
02:00:19,280 --> 02:00:22,440
Speaker 2: get to some NBA news as we head down the stretch.

Speaker 2: John Paul Morosi or Fox Sports Radio MLB Insider will

2301
02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:56,080
Speaker 2: join us. Oh, so we'll talk some tournament time with

2302
02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:59,160
Speaker 2: him as well. You know, he's a multi sport guy,

2303
02:00:59,440 --> 02:01:02,440
Speaker 2: so you know, John Palmrosi is always going to bring

2304
02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:06,000
Speaker 2: it strong. By the way, I want to quickly get

2305
02:01:06,040 --> 02:01:10,840
Speaker 2: back to the Bears situation right now, and the reports

2306
02:01:10,880 --> 02:01:15,280
Speaker 2: out of Chicago have been that there are a lot

2307
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:19,800
Speaker 2: of Bears fans that want to stick with Justin Fields.

2308
02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:24,720
Speaker 2: And again I'm going to give you the numbers. You

2309
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:29,280
Speaker 2: gave up on Mitchell Trubisky, who was the second overall

2310
02:01:29,400 --> 02:01:32,360
Speaker 2: pick in the draft, and you gave up draft capital

2311
02:01:32,560 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 2: to move up to get him. In his last three

2312
02:01:36,040 --> 02:01:39,920
Speaker 2: seasons as the starting quarterback of the Bears, his record

2313
02:01:39,960 --> 02:01:44,560
Speaker 2: as a starter was twenty five and thirteen, twenty five wins,

2314
02:01:44,600 --> 02:01:49,200
Speaker 2: thirteen losses. You brought in Justin Fields and in his

2315
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:53,480
Speaker 2: three years as a starting quarterback his record is ten

2316
02:01:53,560 --> 02:01:58,560
Speaker 2: and twenty eight. So he got rid of Trubisky and

2317
02:01:58,600 --> 02:02:00,640
Speaker 2: you say, well, he hadn't done anything, So you're right.

2318
02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:04,920
Speaker 2: He was twenty five and thirteen and you got rid

2319
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:09,000
Speaker 2: of him. You want to keep a quarterback that's ten

2320
02:02:09,040 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 2: and twenty eight. I'm missing something here. If you're a

2321
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:17,160
Speaker 2: Bears fan hanging on to the Justin Fields dream, and

2322
02:02:17,200 --> 02:02:19,880
Speaker 2: by the way, dangling in front of you is your

2323
02:02:19,960 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 2: choice at quarterback, any quarterback you want. Most people think

2324
02:02:23,680 --> 02:02:25,560
Speaker 2: it Caleb Williams is the right guy.

2325
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:27,360
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2326
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:30,560
Speaker 2: I was a big fan of Justin Field's coming in,

2327
02:02:31,280 --> 02:02:33,760
Speaker 2: but he has proven to me to be pretty much

2328
02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:37,600
Speaker 2: a one read quarterback. He's a guy that can't make

2329
02:02:37,880 --> 02:02:42,080
Speaker 2: the throws necessary to become an elite quarterback in this league.

2330
02:02:42,520 --> 02:02:44,880
Speaker 2: He does have a tendency of hanging onto the ball

2331
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,520
Speaker 2: too long, which is why he gets sacked as many

2332
02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:51,040
Speaker 2: times as he does. Does he have the ability to

2333
02:02:51,120 --> 02:02:56,200
Speaker 2: run absolutely very productive with his rushing numbers, But to me,

2334
02:02:56,520 --> 02:03:00,680
Speaker 2: it's not translating on the field and you need.

2335
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:02,400
Speaker 3: A fresh start. This is a no brainer.

2336
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:04,760
Speaker 2: If you're one of those Bears fans hanging on to

2337
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:07,600
Speaker 2: the idea, Well, if we just bring in some supporting

2338
02:03:07,640 --> 02:03:10,400
Speaker 2: players to help him out. The Bear's got some decent

2339
02:03:10,440 --> 02:03:13,000
Speaker 2: players around him, it's not working. You need a new

2340
02:03:13,080 --> 02:03:15,680
Speaker 2: quarterback and his name is Caleb Williams, and you're gonna

2341
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:18,440
Speaker 2: be happy that you're gonna get Caleb Williams in this draft.

2342
02:03:18,880 --> 02:03:22,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you have a couple of different things going

2343
02:03:22,520 --> 02:03:25,600
Speaker 4: on with the Bears at the same time. Obviously, all

2344
02:03:25,640 --> 02:03:30,200
Speaker 4: the attention is being paid to the situation at quarterback,

2345
02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:34,160
Speaker 4: and that's warranted. The quarterback position is the most important

2346
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:37,800
Speaker 4: on the field. But quietly they are really bolstering what's

2347
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:42,200
Speaker 4: already a pretty significant defense, and Matt Eberflus, being a

2348
02:03:42,240 --> 02:03:47,160
Speaker 4: defensive minded head coach, I think, is having some level

2349
02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:50,520
Speaker 4: of say on personnel decisions between he and Ryan Poles.

2350
02:03:51,560 --> 02:03:55,120
Speaker 4: So you have Montees Sweat up front, Edmonds at linebacker,

2351
02:03:55,240 --> 02:03:57,800
Speaker 4: you have Johnson, they just locked down on that long

2352
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:01,600
Speaker 4: four year contract. In the second at corner, they lose

2353
02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:05,040
Speaker 4: their safety Jackson, but in return they signed a two

2354
02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:09,800
Speaker 4: year deal with Bayerd who comes from I believe it

2355
02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:14,360
Speaker 4: was Philadelphia was his most recent stop, who's a talented safety.

2356
02:04:14,760 --> 02:04:16,640
Speaker 4: So all of a sudden, whoever is going to be

2357
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:19,640
Speaker 4: the quarterback is gonna get in my opinion, probably gonna

2358
02:04:19,640 --> 02:04:23,720
Speaker 4: get the ball back pretty quickly because they're loading up

2359
02:04:23,720 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 4: on that side of the ball. Now, you look at

2360
02:04:26,160 --> 02:04:29,720
Speaker 4: the quarterback position and you say, would we be having

2361
02:04:29,760 --> 02:04:36,440
Speaker 4: this conversation if say, instead of picking first overall, they

2362
02:04:36,440 --> 02:04:40,560
Speaker 4: were picking eleventh, like their NFC North rival the Minnesota Vikings,

2363
02:04:41,200 --> 02:04:43,880
Speaker 4: you know, and my answer is no. I think Justin

2364
02:04:43,920 --> 02:04:48,640
Speaker 4: Fields has played good enough that if they if they

2365
02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:53,320
Speaker 4: were in a situation where they were picking outside of

2366
02:04:53,400 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 4: the top ten, they would stick with Justin Fields. And

2367
02:04:56,640 --> 02:04:59,360
Speaker 4: nobody would have a problem with that. Nobody would have

2368
02:04:59,400 --> 02:05:02,520
Speaker 4: a problem with that. The reason why this is so

2369
02:05:02,680 --> 02:05:07,320
Speaker 4: hotly debated is because they have the first overall draft pick,

2370
02:05:07,320 --> 02:05:10,600
Speaker 4: and you're looking at the potential of Caleb Williams versus

2371
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:14,200
Speaker 4: the actuality of Justin Fields. And that's why this is

2372
02:05:14,240 --> 02:05:16,920
Speaker 4: even a debate because Steve, I think you would admit

2373
02:05:16,960 --> 02:05:19,560
Speaker 4: it too. By the time you get outside the top ten,

2374
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:22,640
Speaker 4: many of the quarterbacks who are available, the highest prized

2375
02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:25,360
Speaker 4: value quarterbacks will be scooped up.

2376
02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:27,200
Speaker 5: And who's going to be left?

2377
02:05:27,480 --> 02:05:30,080
Speaker 4: And I would say the Chicago Bears would be in

2378
02:05:30,120 --> 02:05:34,600
Speaker 4: a pretty good position anyways, you know, because Justin Fields

2379
02:05:34,640 --> 02:05:36,200
Speaker 4: is on an upswing at the end of the season

2380
02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:39,000
Speaker 4: last year. He's got his fifth year coming up, that's

2381
02:05:39,120 --> 02:05:42,280
Speaker 4: debatable whether they want him for that, and he's got

2382
02:05:42,320 --> 02:05:43,960
Speaker 4: to play like it's a contract year.

2383
02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:45,240
Speaker 5: For him to stay in Chicago.

2384
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,320
Speaker 4: So it feels like they're in a pretty good position

2385
02:05:48,400 --> 02:05:52,320
Speaker 4: to draft offensive players around Justin Fields and get him

2386
02:05:52,360 --> 02:05:55,480
Speaker 4: ready for this upcoming season. Instead, all they want to

2387
02:05:55,520 --> 02:05:58,320
Speaker 4: do is trade him, get him to the best possible

2388
02:05:58,360 --> 02:06:00,120
Speaker 4: situation while getting value.

2389
02:05:59,880 --> 02:06:03,120
Speaker 5: In return, and get ready for Caleb Williams. It's an

2390
02:06:03,240 --> 02:06:04,240
Speaker 5: interesting spot.

2391
02:06:04,400 --> 02:06:07,000
Speaker 4: I know what you're saying about Justin Fields, and I

2392
02:06:07,040 --> 02:06:09,440
Speaker 4: know what you're saying about his win loss record, which

2393
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:12,520
Speaker 4: I don't know why that's attached to only quarterbacks and

2394
02:06:12,600 --> 02:06:15,200
Speaker 4: no other player. But I'm telling you, Justin Fields, for

2395
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 4: all the things you've said, he's developing.

2396
02:06:17,920 --> 02:06:21,440
Speaker 5: Into a pretty competent NFL quarterback.

2397
02:06:21,480 --> 02:06:24,440
Speaker 4: And if he lands in the right system, the Bears

2398
02:06:24,440 --> 02:06:27,160
Speaker 4: may look back and rude the day they trade him.

2399
02:06:27,240 --> 02:06:31,840
Speaker 3: We'll see if he's all that. There's no interest in

2400
02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:32,480
Speaker 3: him right now.

2401
02:06:32,680 --> 02:06:35,000
Speaker 2: And again I go back to Adam Kaplan our Fox

2402
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:37,480
Speaker 2: Sports Radio NFL inside, are you what is the deal

2403
02:06:37,520 --> 02:06:39,920
Speaker 2: with Justin Fields? Are they going to trade him or not?

2404
02:06:40,840 --> 02:06:46,720
Speaker 2: And his response was they're trying. Nobody's interested. Well, well,

2405
02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:49,640
Speaker 2: I mean outside of I mean outside of getting you know,

2406
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:52,440
Speaker 2: they're they're thinking this guy was the eleventh overall pick

2407
02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:55,440
Speaker 2: in the draft three years ago, and we want to

2408
02:06:55,480 --> 02:07:00,000
Speaker 2: get some kind of value in returns. We mentioned before

2409
02:07:00,480 --> 02:07:03,040
Speaker 2: the mac Jones deal was again a guy in the

2410
02:07:03,080 --> 02:07:07,080
Speaker 2: same draft who was you know, traded for a six

2411
02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:09,839
Speaker 2: round pick. Now the bar has been said in the fields,

2412
02:07:10,120 --> 02:07:13,160
Speaker 2: they I mean, they thought that we're gonna get more

2413
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 2: for Justin Fields than that.

2414
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:17,720
Speaker 4: But but then again, you gotta and I agree with

2415
02:07:17,760 --> 02:07:20,440
Speaker 4: what you said earlier, and I do think this hurts,

2416
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:26,280
Speaker 4: this hurts his trade value because it unfortunately puts it

2417
02:07:26,320 --> 02:07:30,400
Speaker 4: puts a a trade value of a six round draft

2418
02:07:30,400 --> 02:07:35,320
Speaker 4: pick on the most recent first round QB comp which

2419
02:07:35,600 --> 02:07:36,400
Speaker 4: which isn't great.

2420
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:39,120
Speaker 2: However, they are in the same draft, same number of

2421
02:07:39,160 --> 02:07:40,000
Speaker 2: years in the league.

2422
02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:43,840
Speaker 4: But if however, if you're looking at players in potential,

2423
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:47,640
Speaker 4: I mean, there's nobody saying would tell you that mac

2424
02:07:47,720 --> 02:07:50,520
Speaker 4: Jones has more potential in the NFL than Justin Fields.

2425
02:07:51,240 --> 02:07:54,240
Speaker 4: Justin Fields has way more potential. And anybody who's going

2426
02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:58,080
Speaker 4: to trade draft value for Justin Fields understands that you're

2427
02:07:58,120 --> 02:08:01,480
Speaker 4: not gonna get the mac Jones deal. It's not gonna

2428
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:03,760
Speaker 4: be as great as it would have been if that

2429
02:08:03,800 --> 02:08:05,480
Speaker 4: deal never happened, But it's.

2430
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:07,960
Speaker 5: Gonna be beyond that now here. Here's the thing.

2431
02:08:08,120 --> 02:08:11,800
Speaker 4: If the Bears are currently shopping Justin Fields around for

2432
02:08:11,880 --> 02:08:14,240
Speaker 4: a first or second rounder, and I have heard no

2433
02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:17,760
Speaker 4: reports of that, but say they're trying to keep the

2434
02:08:17,840 --> 02:08:20,760
Speaker 4: value in the first or second round for Justin Fields,

2435
02:08:21,400 --> 02:08:22,040
Speaker 4: the answer.

2436
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 5: Is going to be no from almost everybody.

2437
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:27,040
Speaker 4: I really honestly feel that I feel like a third

2438
02:08:27,080 --> 02:08:30,240
Speaker 4: and a fifth, maybe that maybe that maybe maybe a

2439
02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:32,960
Speaker 4: fourth and a sixth something like that. Like I don't

2440
02:08:33,280 --> 02:08:35,680
Speaker 4: I don't really feel like any team's gonna buy it

2441
02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:38,400
Speaker 4: at a first or a second rounder at all for

2442
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:42,320
Speaker 4: Justin Fields. And so you say there's no interest or

2443
02:08:42,440 --> 02:08:45,000
Speaker 4: we've heard source reports that there are no interests, but

2444
02:08:45,040 --> 02:08:47,680
Speaker 4: the reality of the situation is there's no interest at

2445
02:08:47,680 --> 02:08:52,000
Speaker 4: that value. Again, comparing quarterbacks to the housing market. If

2446
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:55,240
Speaker 4: I put my house up on the market for three

2447
02:08:55,360 --> 02:08:58,680
Speaker 4: million dollars and I live in a neighborhood where you

2448
02:08:58,720 --> 02:09:02,480
Speaker 4: know whatever, five bedroom houses don't go for three million dollars,

2449
02:09:02,520 --> 02:09:07,120
Speaker 4: they go for one million dollars, Well, I've outpriced the

2450
02:09:07,160 --> 02:09:10,320
Speaker 4: market by two million bucks. People aren't going to look

2451
02:09:10,400 --> 02:09:13,400
Speaker 4: at that house and say, oh, there's great value there.

2452
02:09:13,680 --> 02:09:14,800
Speaker 5: They're gonna say Oh my.

2453
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:18,480
Speaker 4: Gosh, they have way, way overestimated how much that house

2454
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:21,560
Speaker 4: is worth the same thing that the Chicago Bears.

2455
02:09:21,240 --> 02:09:24,400
Speaker 5: Are doing on the trade market right now with Justin Fields.

2456
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:26,840
Speaker 2: By the way, if you think that, hey, we're going

2457
02:09:26,920 --> 02:09:29,360
Speaker 2: to find our quarterback in the draft, let me remind

2458
02:09:29,400 --> 02:09:33,040
Speaker 2: you again of the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. Five

2459
02:09:33,120 --> 02:09:38,800
Speaker 2: quarterbacks taken in the first fifteen picks. Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson,

2460
02:09:39,600 --> 02:09:43,520
Speaker 2: Trey Lance, Justin Field's Mac Jones.

2461
02:09:45,640 --> 02:09:48,360
Speaker 3: Think about that. Yep, that was three years ago.

2462
02:09:48,520 --> 02:09:50,640
Speaker 10: Can I Can I just say real quick that I

2463
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:53,600
Speaker 10: actually think Mac Jones has more potential as an NFL

2464
02:09:53,680 --> 02:09:56,840
Speaker 10: quarterback than Justin Fields? Does Is it? Okay?

2465
02:09:57,080 --> 02:10:01,160
Speaker 3: Well you think here here's the I'm a Mac Johns.

2466
02:10:01,280 --> 02:10:02,040
Speaker 5: I did say that.

2467
02:10:02,120 --> 02:10:05,440
Speaker 4: Nobody's saying, I know, say I know, so you know, yeah, yeah,

2468
02:10:05,480 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 4: mean you're really that, You're absolutely fine.

2469
02:10:07,640 --> 02:10:10,800
Speaker 2: I also remember, I also remember leading up to that draft,

2470
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:13,440
Speaker 2: when there was this buzz about Mac Jones being high

2471
02:10:13,440 --> 02:10:15,160
Speaker 2: on the board, that was even talked the forty nine

2472
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:17,720
Speaker 2: ers are considering, you know, taking him with that third

2473
02:10:17,720 --> 02:10:19,720
Speaker 2: pick after they moved up in the draft, And I said,

2474
02:10:19,920 --> 02:10:24,520
Speaker 2: how many draft boards do you think have Mac Jones

2475
02:10:24,560 --> 02:10:27,960
Speaker 2: listed ahead of Justin Fields. I mean, I'm saying that

2476
02:10:28,080 --> 02:10:30,440
Speaker 2: leading up to that draft. Now, I'm not telling him now,

2477
02:10:30,480 --> 02:10:33,680
Speaker 2: but going into that draft, I'm thinking every thirty two

2478
02:10:33,720 --> 02:10:36,160
Speaker 2: teams have their draft board. I'm not sure what's on

2479
02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:38,680
Speaker 2: their draft board, but they they had the ranking of

2480
02:10:38,760 --> 02:10:40,800
Speaker 2: every single player, whether they're going to pick him or not.

2481
02:10:41,120 --> 02:10:43,840
Speaker 2: How many of those draft boards you honestly believe have

2482
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:47,160
Speaker 2: Mac Jones listed in front of Justin Fields.

2483
02:10:47,480 --> 02:10:48,240
Speaker 5: Oh boy?

2484
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:51,040
Speaker 3: Well, going into that twenty twenty one draft, I'm.

2485
02:10:50,920 --> 02:10:54,560
Speaker 4: Trying to revisit, like the notes that were passed along

2486
02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:57,240
Speaker 4: those years ago when that was going down. The way

2487
02:10:57,280 --> 02:10:59,920
Speaker 4: I remember it going. The way I remember it going

2488
02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:05,080
Speaker 4: is there were teams who reportedly had great, a great

2489
02:11:05,120 --> 02:11:07,080
Speaker 4: deal of interest in Mac Jones. But if you're asking

2490
02:11:07,120 --> 02:11:11,800
Speaker 4: me for just numbers, I would say five percentage a

2491
02:11:11,920 --> 02:11:16,080
Speaker 4: larger percent of teams had Justin Fields ranks ahead a match.

2492
02:11:16,120 --> 02:11:17,640
Speaker 3: I don't know there's any doubt about that.

2493
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:20,160
Speaker 2: But then again, the forty nine ers threw everyone for

2494
02:11:20,200 --> 02:11:22,680
Speaker 2: a loop by going with Trey Lance. Yep, so Zach

2495
02:11:22,720 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 2: Wilson was the second overall pick and Trey Lance was

2496
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:28,600
Speaker 2: the third overall pick followed by Mac Jones, Justin Fields

2497
02:11:28,600 --> 02:11:32,040
Speaker 2: and Mac Jones. Yeah, and by the way, after you know,

2498
02:11:32,240 --> 02:11:35,400
Speaker 2: the ending of their season in Jacksonville, not the most

2499
02:11:35,720 --> 02:11:38,680
Speaker 2: impressive ending is their season unraveled with Trevor Lawrence.

2500
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:40,640
Speaker 3: All right, coming up on the other side, we switched

2501
02:11:40,680 --> 02:11:41,360
Speaker 3: gears once again.

2502
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:44,400

Speaker 3: Big names are going to be going all over the place.

2514
02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:20,040
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Major League Baseball very much in trench in spring training.

2515
02:12:20,120 --> 02:12:23,480
Speaker 2: Joining us right now is our Fox Sports Radio MLB

2516
02:12:23,640 --> 02:12:27,960
Speaker 2: insider John Paul Morosi is joining us JP. By the way,

2517
02:12:27,960 --> 02:12:30,280
Speaker 2: are you excited about next Sunday as we get ready

2518
02:12:30,280 --> 02:12:34,960
Speaker 2: for selection Sunday? How big is it on your sports calendar?

2519
02:12:35,280 --> 02:12:37,160
Speaker 2: As we get ready for a little March madness.

2520
02:12:37,560 --> 02:12:41,160
Speaker 11: Well, I am excited, certainly, it's a big weekend coming up.

2521
02:12:41,200 --> 02:12:44,920
Speaker 11: But I will say this, my current plan calls for

2522
02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:48,120
Speaker 11: me to be arriving to Soul, South Korea right as

2523
02:12:48,160 --> 02:12:51,680
Speaker 11: all of that is unfolding. So my attention is fully

2524
02:12:51,720 --> 02:12:55,680
Speaker 11: focused on Totsers and Podres and what's going to be

2525
02:12:55,680 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 11: happening there with some exhibition games early next week. I'll

2526
02:12:58,440 --> 02:13:01,160
Speaker 11: be your man on the ground in Korea giving you

2527
02:13:01,200 --> 02:13:05,360
Speaker 11: some live reports there now. That being said. That being said, I,

2528
02:13:06,240 --> 02:13:09,640
Speaker 11: from what I can tell via sources, the chances of

2529
02:13:09,720 --> 02:13:13,240
Speaker 11: the local basketball team here in ann Arbor making the

2530
02:13:13,320 --> 02:13:19,040
Speaker 11: NCAA Tournament, they're not especially high right now, based on

2531
02:13:19,080 --> 02:13:23,880
Speaker 11: my very detailed analysis of the NCAA tournament field, Michigan

2532
02:13:24,440 --> 02:13:26,680
Speaker 11: probably not breaking some news here, but it doesn't appear

2533
02:13:26,720 --> 02:13:27,600
Speaker 11: they're going to be part of that.

2534
02:13:27,720 --> 02:13:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and Mike Bruins are going to be in

2535
02:13:29,680 --> 02:13:32,120
Speaker 2: the in the same boat for this year's tournament. All right,

2536
02:13:32,240 --> 02:13:34,800
Speaker 2: Very quickly, I want to jump in talk about these

2537
02:13:34,840 --> 02:13:38,880
Speaker 2: Dodgers and the decision to put Mookie Bets in at

2538
02:13:38,960 --> 02:13:43,360
Speaker 2: shortstop Gavin Lux, who they of course had projected to

2539
02:13:43,400 --> 02:13:47,080
Speaker 2: be their shortstop of the future, is still apparently not

2540
02:13:47,200 --> 02:13:50,720
Speaker 2: physically able to field a position at the level they

2541
02:13:50,720 --> 02:13:54,080
Speaker 2: are comfortable with. What does that mean for the Dodgers

2542
02:13:54,160 --> 02:13:58,120
Speaker 2: and how could that affect Mookie Betts as now the

2543
02:13:58,320 --> 02:14:00,200
Speaker 2: shortstop for this team.

2544
02:14:00,960 --> 02:14:04,600
Speaker 11: It really is an extraordinary situation, and I think the

2545
02:14:04,600 --> 02:14:08,280
Speaker 11: way that Mooki has handled it first and foremost reflects

2546
02:14:08,280 --> 02:14:11,880
Speaker 11: so well on the teammate and the athlete that he is.

2547
02:14:12,040 --> 02:14:14,440
Speaker 11: How many other players that have won Gold Gloves in

2548
02:14:14,480 --> 02:14:18,760
Speaker 11: the outfield could at this stage of his career be

2549
02:14:18,960 --> 02:14:23,760
Speaker 11: asked to initially play second base and then play shortstop

2550
02:14:24,080 --> 02:14:27,240
Speaker 11: because of a need elsewhere. And with Gavin Lucks, of course,

2551
02:14:27,280 --> 02:14:29,960
Speaker 11: he missed all of last year with a knee injury.

2552
02:14:30,080 --> 02:14:32,839
Speaker 11: His issues in spring this year have really been throwing,

2553
02:14:32,960 --> 02:14:36,320
Speaker 11: throwing the baseball, just not being able to locate his

2554
02:14:36,400 --> 02:14:39,640
Speaker 11: throws accurately, which certainly is concerning for the Dodgers, and

2555
02:14:40,480 --> 02:14:44,200
Speaker 11: Dave Roberts has acknowledged the obvious, which is they've got

2556
02:14:44,480 --> 02:14:48,280
Speaker 11: extraordinary expectations on this ball club this season and this

2557
02:14:48,360 --> 02:14:52,640
Speaker 11: is a performance level. And while Gavin lux has extraordinary

2558
02:14:52,680 --> 02:14:55,800
Speaker 11: support in the organization, a lot of big believers in

2559
02:14:55,880 --> 02:14:58,280
Speaker 11: him and he's a tremendous young man. I've had a

2560
02:14:58,360 --> 02:15:01,200
Speaker 11: chance to talk to him before. It's just I think

2561
02:15:01,440 --> 02:15:03,760
Speaker 11: a really sad situation on that side of things, that

2562
02:15:04,040 --> 02:15:07,960
Speaker 11: Gavin's has not been able to play consistent defense enough

2563
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:10,440
Speaker 11: to be able to earn that position. And then on

2564
02:15:10,480 --> 02:15:12,960
Speaker 11: the flip side, it just speaks to what a great

2565
02:15:13,160 --> 02:15:15,760
Speaker 11: teammate Mooki is that he's able to handle the job

2566
02:15:15,800 --> 02:15:20,000
Speaker 11: and at a really high profile position. It's difficult to

2567
02:15:21,200 --> 02:15:26,640
Speaker 11: articulate for me how surprising and almost unprecedented that it

2568
02:15:26,760 --> 02:15:30,520
Speaker 11: is for a player to in this stage of his career,

2569
02:15:30,640 --> 02:15:35,240
Speaker 11: a former MVP move from the outfield to shortstop. That

2570
02:15:35,360 --> 02:15:38,720
Speaker 11: just doesn't happen very often. Usually, as players get older,

2571
02:15:39,280 --> 02:15:44,080
Speaker 11: they tend to move away from the highest demanding positions

2572
02:15:44,120 --> 02:15:47,400
Speaker 11: on the field, which tend to be shortstop, second base

2573
02:15:47,440 --> 02:15:51,720
Speaker 11: to an extent center field catcher. Usually that second half

2574
02:15:51,720 --> 02:15:54,680
Speaker 11: of your career in your thirties, you get further away

2575
02:15:54,680 --> 02:15:57,760
Speaker 11: from home plate, not closer. But that's just what a

2576
02:15:57,800 --> 02:16:01,200
Speaker 11: special player Mooki is that time when you're talking about

2577
02:16:01,200 --> 02:16:03,080
Speaker 11: some players that maybe he's got to move off as

2578
02:16:03,080 --> 02:16:05,520
Speaker 11: short and play third, or he's got to move out

2579
02:16:05,560 --> 02:16:08,400
Speaker 11: of center and play right, it's quite the opposite for

2580
02:16:08,480 --> 02:16:11,160
Speaker 11: Mookie Betts, which is just an extraordinary testament to the.

2581
02:16:11,080 --> 02:16:11,720
Speaker 6: Person that he is.

2582
02:16:11,960 --> 02:16:14,080
Speaker 4: So you look at the top of the payroll spending

2583
02:16:14,160 --> 02:16:18,000
Speaker 4: last year. Obviously the Dodgers were in that conversation, and

2584
02:16:18,040 --> 02:16:22,200
Speaker 4: they had a postseason birth winning the division. You look

2585
02:16:22,280 --> 02:16:26,040
Speaker 4: at other teams in the top five, like the Mets,

2586
02:16:26,560 --> 02:16:31,280
Speaker 4: the New York Yankees, the San Diego Padres, very different results,

2587
02:16:31,320 --> 02:16:35,640
Speaker 4: in fact, disastrous results for the three teams I just named. So, look,

2588
02:16:35,680 --> 02:16:38,039
Speaker 4: the Dodgers are back at it, They're spending a ton

2589
02:16:38,080 --> 02:16:41,640
Speaker 4: of money. There's a lot of high hopes for this season.

2590
02:16:41,680 --> 02:16:44,840
Speaker 4: As discussed, Well what about those other three teams? Where

2591
02:16:44,879 --> 02:16:46,520
Speaker 4: are we at with the Yankees, the Mets, and the

2592
02:16:46,560 --> 02:16:49,240
Speaker 4: Padres a year later or less than a year later.

2593
02:16:49,920 --> 02:16:52,800
Speaker 11: Sure, it's a very important point Rich that you make

2594
02:16:52,840 --> 02:16:56,000
Speaker 11: about how different it is a year over year. And

2595
02:16:56,040 --> 02:16:58,160
Speaker 11: I would even point out with the Dodgers too, it's

2596
02:16:58,200 --> 02:17:02,080
Speaker 11: not just the Gavit Luck situation. Of course, in their

2597
02:17:02,160 --> 02:17:04,640
Speaker 11: starting rotation. We now know that Emmett Sheen's going to

2598
02:17:04,720 --> 02:17:06,640
Speaker 11: begin the year on the injured list, so they've got

2599
02:17:07,080 --> 02:17:09,360
Speaker 11: the Dodgers have some questions here to deal with it's

2600
02:17:09,360 --> 02:17:11,959
Speaker 11: not as though it's smooth sailing for them. The Yankees

2601
02:17:12,040 --> 02:17:14,000
Speaker 11: I like a lot, I really do. I think they're

2602
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:16,120
Speaker 11: going to be a good ball club this year. Last year,

2603
02:17:16,720 --> 02:17:20,360
Speaker 11: just for a variety of reasons, they were not themselves.

2604
02:17:20,440 --> 02:17:24,000
Speaker 11: They had a lot of pitching injuries. Offensively, they were

2605
02:17:24,160 --> 02:17:27,680
Speaker 11: both injured and inconsistent. I think, for me, the guy

2606
02:17:27,720 --> 02:17:31,360
Speaker 11: that I'm watching really carefully is Carlos Rodin in the

2607
02:17:31,360 --> 02:17:35,119
Speaker 11: starting rotation and how he handles the pressure, because he

2608
02:17:35,200 --> 02:17:37,640
Speaker 11: really has not come in and had that consistent of

2609
02:17:37,680 --> 02:17:40,240
Speaker 11: a spring to this point in time. He's thrown five

2610
02:17:40,240 --> 02:17:44,160
Speaker 11: and two thirds innings, He's already issued in three walks.

2611
02:17:44,240 --> 02:17:47,000
Speaker 11: He's given up an already number of home runs, three

2612
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:49,600
Speaker 11: of them in five and two thirds, so the long

2613
02:17:49,640 --> 02:17:51,840
Speaker 11: ball continues to sting him. He's hit a batter, He's

2614
02:17:51,879 --> 02:17:56,000
Speaker 11: just he hasn't been smooth. Stroman's looked really good. Cortes

2615
02:17:56,480 --> 02:17:58,959
Speaker 11: I think has pitched better than his numbers would indicate.

2616
02:17:59,000 --> 02:18:01,520
Speaker 11: He's struck out thirteen and ten innings, so he's I

2617
02:18:01,520 --> 02:18:03,920
Speaker 11: think he's gonna be fine. He's given up a lot

2618
02:18:03,959 --> 02:18:06,360
Speaker 11: of a lot of loud contact nesser has, but I

2619
02:18:06,400 --> 02:18:08,600
Speaker 11: think in general, at least he's been in the zone

2620
02:18:08,600 --> 02:18:09,480
Speaker 11: and he hasn't been walking.

2621
02:18:09,520 --> 02:18:09,800
Speaker 6: Guys.

2622
02:18:09,920 --> 02:18:12,760
Speaker 11: I'm always I'm always nervous when people walk a lot

2623
02:18:12,760 --> 02:18:14,600
Speaker 11: of matters in spring training. That that always makes me

2624
02:18:14,600 --> 02:18:18,879
Speaker 11: a little bit uneasy. And so I'm reassured about where

2625
02:18:18,959 --> 02:18:21,240
Speaker 11: Strowman is at with respect his pitching, and I think

2626
02:18:21,480 --> 02:18:24,320
Speaker 11: he will prove to be one of the really smart

2627
02:18:24,360 --> 02:18:27,640
Speaker 11: acquisitions that the Yankees have made this particular offseason. I

2628
02:18:27,680 --> 02:18:30,520
Speaker 11: think in the rotation we have touched on this before.

2629
02:18:30,720 --> 02:18:33,080
Speaker 11: Tyler McGill is, I think he's a really good pitcher

2630
02:18:33,120 --> 02:18:36,240
Speaker 11: that has shown up and looked really good and consistent

2631
02:18:36,240 --> 02:18:39,280
Speaker 11: in spring So as Hoste Quintana to this point in time,

2632
02:18:39,480 --> 02:18:43,600
Speaker 11: so as Luis Severino. I don't have the mess finishing

2633
02:18:43,600 --> 02:18:45,640
Speaker 11: ahead of either the Phillies or the Braves, and this

2634
02:18:45,720 --> 02:18:49,440
Speaker 11: is a very tough division, but I think that there

2635
02:18:49,440 --> 02:18:52,640
Speaker 11: are chances of at least having a solid start are

2636
02:18:52,959 --> 02:18:55,360
Speaker 11: good and that may at least delay a little bit

2637
02:18:55,360 --> 02:18:59,959
Speaker 11: of the potentially inevitable trade conversations surrounding p a lot.

2638
02:19:00,440 --> 02:19:05,120
Speaker 11: And as for as for the Padres, I'm I'm bullish

2639
02:19:05,280 --> 02:19:07,400
Speaker 11: that they did a good job with the Sodo trade

2640
02:19:07,400 --> 02:19:09,520
Speaker 11: in terms of the pitchers they got back from the Yankees.

2641
02:19:09,560 --> 02:19:11,440
Speaker 11: I think that was a I'm not going to call

2642
02:19:11,480 --> 02:19:13,280
Speaker 11: it a win because they gave up a future Hall

2643
02:19:13,320 --> 02:19:16,480
Speaker 11: of Fame player in Soto, but they helped themselves. The

2644
02:19:16,640 --> 02:19:20,000
Speaker 11: question I have is how much youth are they really

2645
02:19:20,040 --> 02:19:21,320
Speaker 11: going to be able to run out there on a

2646
02:19:21,360 --> 02:19:24,600
Speaker 11: consistent basis in their everyday lineup? Is Jackson Merrill going

2647
02:19:24,680 --> 02:19:27,320
Speaker 11: to make the club? What is the role that someone

2648
02:19:27,440 --> 02:19:31,080
Speaker 11: like Pauli or Marcy could have? So to me, the

2649
02:19:31,120 --> 02:19:34,240
Speaker 11: Padres there are still a very good team. I think

2650
02:19:34,240 --> 02:19:38,039
Speaker 11: that reports of their demise are greatly exaggerated. They're not

2651
02:19:38,080 --> 02:19:40,640
Speaker 11: as good as the Dodgers, clearly, but they still have

2652
02:19:40,720 --> 02:19:44,480
Speaker 11: Bogarts and Machado and Tatis. This is a good ball

2653
02:19:44,520 --> 02:19:47,080
Speaker 11: club that I think if they get some bounce backs

2654
02:19:47,080 --> 02:19:50,280
Speaker 11: from the likes of cronin Worth and others, they've got

2655
02:19:50,280 --> 02:19:52,480
Speaker 11: a chance to still put together. I think a very

2656
02:19:52,520 --> 02:19:56,240
Speaker 11: solid season. So not a playoff team necessarily, but not

2657
02:19:56,480 --> 02:19:59,279
Speaker 11: nearly as bad as some of the most dire prognostications.

2658
02:19:59,320 --> 02:20:01,200
Speaker 2: What have you believe, JP, I want to get back

2659
02:20:01,240 --> 02:20:04,520
Speaker 2: to your talk about the Yankees. I'll remind you again

2660
02:20:05,640 --> 02:20:09,200
Speaker 2: they finished nineteen games behind the Orioles a year ago

2661
02:20:10,280 --> 02:20:16,040
Speaker 2: nineteen games, and the Orioles, in my opinion, stole Colban

2662
02:20:16,120 --> 02:20:17,119
Speaker 2: Burns from the Brewers.

2663
02:20:18,080 --> 02:20:18,680
Speaker 5: I stole them.

2664
02:20:18,720 --> 02:20:21,960
Speaker 2: I mean, what did they actually give up for a

2665
02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:24,000
Speaker 2: guy who was a cy Young Award winner a couple

2666
02:20:24,040 --> 02:20:27,320
Speaker 2: of years ago, certainly, and his a game is one

2667
02:20:27,360 --> 02:20:29,280
Speaker 2: of the best of any starting pitcher. Now he's going

2668
02:20:29,320 --> 02:20:32,000
Speaker 2: to be the opening day starter for the Orioles. Orioles

2669
02:20:32,040 --> 02:20:34,040
Speaker 2: have all that young talent. It came to fruition.

2670
02:20:34,120 --> 02:20:34,640
Speaker 5: A year ago.

2671
02:20:34,680 --> 02:20:36,279
Speaker 3: They won one hundred and one games.

2672
02:20:36,879 --> 02:20:39,200
Speaker 2: They're going to fall back with the addition of Corbyn

2673
02:20:39,240 --> 02:20:40,960
Speaker 2: Burns at the top of the rotation.

2674
02:20:42,120 --> 02:20:45,200
Speaker 11: Well, so here's a couple of things about Baltimore. I

2675
02:20:45,280 --> 02:20:49,600
Speaker 11: agree that they are already a very good team, and

2676
02:20:49,640 --> 02:20:52,039
Speaker 11: they're getting even better because of the players they're bringing

2677
02:20:52,120 --> 02:20:57,960
Speaker 11: up internally, Jackson Holiday, Colby Mayo, Colden Kowzer. They've just

2678
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:00,720
Speaker 11: got an embarrassment of riches right now. The minor leagues

2679
02:21:00,720 --> 02:21:03,800
Speaker 11: that are now no longer going to be prospects. They're

2680
02:21:03,800 --> 02:21:07,160
Speaker 11: gonna be major leaguers pretty soon, and so that's very exciting.

2681
02:21:07,200 --> 02:21:10,320
Speaker 11: I think for the Yankees, they can make the playoffs

2682
02:21:10,360 --> 02:21:12,480
Speaker 11: without finishing ahead of Baltimore. They just have to find a

2683
02:21:12,480 --> 02:21:15,240
Speaker 11: way to finish ahead of either the Rays and or

2684
02:21:15,280 --> 02:21:19,679
Speaker 11: the Jays. That was their problem last year. And I

2685
02:21:19,920 --> 02:21:22,680
Speaker 11: first of all, let's also remember the Red Sox seem

2686
02:21:22,720 --> 02:21:24,320
Speaker 11: to be nowhere to be found in terms of being

2687
02:21:24,320 --> 02:21:28,520
Speaker 11: a contender this season, and the Jays are asking their

2688
02:21:28,640 --> 02:21:31,160
Speaker 11: rotation to carry them for a second straight year. I'm

2689
02:21:31,200 --> 02:21:35,240
Speaker 11: not so sure that's going to happen. The Rays, I

2690
02:21:35,320 --> 02:21:38,080
Speaker 11: still believe in them, but again, they don't have Tyler

2691
02:21:38,120 --> 02:21:40,360
Speaker 11: Glass now right now. They've got some pitchers who are

2692
02:21:40,400 --> 02:21:43,720
Speaker 11: still injured. So I agree with you. I think both

2693
02:21:43,760 --> 02:21:46,640
Speaker 11: of these things can be true. The Orioles can be

2694
02:21:47,240 --> 02:21:50,560
Speaker 11: the new emerging juggernaut of the American League, which I

2695
02:21:50,640 --> 02:21:54,280
Speaker 11: think is accurate to say that, but also it is

2696
02:21:54,560 --> 02:21:56,800
Speaker 11: way premature to say that that means that the Yankees

2697
02:21:56,800 --> 02:21:58,680
Speaker 11: are missing the playoffs, because I don't think they will.

2698
02:21:58,720 --> 02:22:01,720
Speaker 11: I think the Yankees will be a strong second place

2699
02:22:01,760 --> 02:22:06,080
Speaker 11: in the American League East, and either or potentially both

2700
02:22:06,800 --> 02:22:09,600
Speaker 11: of the Blue Jays and the Rays will fall back

2701
02:22:09,600 --> 02:22:10,879
Speaker 11: from where they were one year ago.

2702
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:12,240
Speaker 5: JP.

2703
02:22:12,720 --> 02:22:16,240
Speaker 4: I not enough people are covering and I know why.

2704
02:22:16,320 --> 02:22:19,600
Speaker 4: It's very boring, but the TV deals with regional sports

2705
02:22:19,680 --> 02:22:24,480
Speaker 4: networks that went belly up, whatever it was. I guess

2706
02:22:24,640 --> 02:22:29,560
Speaker 4: Bally Sports, who's a subsidiary of Diamond Sports Group, which

2707
02:22:29,600 --> 02:22:33,240
Speaker 4: is owned by Sinclair Broadcasting, went bankrupt and all of

2708
02:22:33,280 --> 02:22:37,360
Speaker 4: a sudden, something like fourteen or fifteen markets are without

2709
02:22:37,360 --> 02:22:41,080
Speaker 4: a regional sports broadcasting deal and Major League Baseball has

2710
02:22:41,120 --> 02:22:41,800
Speaker 4: to figure all.

2711
02:22:41,680 --> 02:22:43,000
Speaker 5: This out in the meantime.

2712
02:22:43,040 --> 02:22:46,120
Speaker 4: The way this does affect fans is a lot of

2713
02:22:46,160 --> 02:22:51,680
Speaker 4: these teams are involved in this, this sudden disastrous financial situation,

2714
02:22:52,040 --> 02:22:55,760
Speaker 4: are afraid to strike long term deals with players. And

2715
02:22:55,840 --> 02:22:58,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm seeing this with the Padres I do

2716
02:22:58,360 --> 02:23:01,040
Speaker 4: my San Diego sports show, as you know, and there's

2717
02:23:01,120 --> 02:23:02,879
Speaker 4: other markets out there like the Rangers.

2718
02:23:02,879 --> 02:23:04,720
Speaker 5: Texas Rangers are going through it right now.

2719
02:23:05,360 --> 02:23:07,400
Speaker 4: What is going to be the long term effect and

2720
02:23:07,520 --> 02:23:10,120
Speaker 4: what is the fix if there is one moving forward?

2721
02:23:10,879 --> 02:23:14,960
Speaker 11: Well, it's a very important question because the short answer

2722
02:23:15,080 --> 02:23:18,760
Speaker 11: is it is not a one size fits all answer.

2723
02:23:19,040 --> 02:23:21,520
Speaker 11: We of course, we're on the air nationally right now,

2724
02:23:21,560 --> 02:23:25,880
Speaker 11: and my best advice is someone who loves watching baseball myself,

2725
02:23:26,360 --> 02:23:30,240
Speaker 11: is that it does involve, unfortunately, at a little bit

2726
02:23:30,280 --> 02:23:33,240
Speaker 11: of education and homework on the part of all of

2727
02:23:33,280 --> 02:23:35,720
Speaker 11: us that love the game, because the answer I give

2728
02:23:35,720 --> 02:23:37,840
Speaker 11: you if you're a Yankee fan watching in New York

2729
02:23:37,959 --> 02:23:39,960
Speaker 11: is different from the answer I give you if you're

2730
02:23:39,959 --> 02:23:44,560
Speaker 11: a Padre fan watching in San Diego, because there are

2731
02:23:44,640 --> 02:23:48,200
Speaker 11: differences among who has in market streaming rights and who

2732
02:23:48,200 --> 02:23:52,600
Speaker 11: does not. And so my short answer is sometime when

2733
02:23:52,600 --> 02:23:55,960
Speaker 11: this radio program is done, to consult your your favorite

2734
02:23:55,959 --> 02:23:58,920
Speaker 11: team's website to figure out how you can watch the games,

2735
02:23:58,959 --> 02:24:01,760
Speaker 11: because that information is availed there. But to your point,

2736
02:24:02,560 --> 02:24:05,959
Speaker 11: this is where I think the longer term view for

2737
02:24:06,120 --> 02:24:09,959
Speaker 11: baseball is accessibility of games, and the commissioners on record

2738
02:24:10,040 --> 02:24:13,080
Speaker 11: is saying we want as many fans as possible to

2739
02:24:13,120 --> 02:24:15,280
Speaker 11: be able to access as many of our games as

2740
02:24:15,280 --> 02:24:18,360
Speaker 11: possible in market streaming, out of market streaming, whatever it

2741
02:24:18,440 --> 02:24:21,320
Speaker 11: ends up being. And you know that in San Diego

2742
02:24:21,680 --> 02:24:27,759
Speaker 11: that effectively the MLB Network or MLB Media produced broadcasts

2743
02:24:28,040 --> 02:24:31,800
Speaker 11: which still had local announcers. We're available on a special

2744
02:24:31,879 --> 02:24:34,280
Speaker 11: tier of your cable package depending on what your cable

2745
02:24:34,280 --> 02:24:37,240
Speaker 11: package is or your streaming package, or you could buy

2746
02:24:37,240 --> 02:24:40,760
Speaker 11: it straight from from MLB to get the streaming rights

2747
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:44,279
Speaker 11: in that respect, So the games are available in most

2748
02:24:44,400 --> 02:24:47,800
Speaker 11: places to most fans. But I think that The goal

2749
02:24:47,840 --> 02:24:51,080
Speaker 11: of MLB as time goes on is to make sure

2750
02:24:51,160 --> 02:24:55,560
Speaker 11: that more of the fans get access to the games. Similarly,

2751
02:24:55,959 --> 02:24:58,039
Speaker 11: the goal of the Commissioner's office is to make sure

2752
02:24:58,080 --> 02:25:03,000
Speaker 11: that the ball clubs and don't miss out temporarily or

2753
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:05,680
Speaker 11: in the long term from what used to be very

2754
02:25:05,680 --> 02:25:08,680
Speaker 11: healthy revenues. And I think that's the other element here

2755
02:25:08,720 --> 02:25:11,800
Speaker 11: to where when Rangers fans say, hey, wait, why didn't

2756
02:25:11,840 --> 02:25:14,760
Speaker 11: we sign Jordan Montgomery, Twins fans say, hey, why didn't

2757
02:25:14,800 --> 02:25:17,880
Speaker 11: we re sign Sonny Gray? What's going on? I think

2758
02:25:18,120 --> 02:25:21,160
Speaker 11: the short answer is that there are media rights and

2759
02:25:21,240 --> 02:25:26,480
Speaker 11: media revenue disruptions that unfortunately are not resolved yet. And

2760
02:25:26,520 --> 02:25:28,800
Speaker 11: in some ways we know more than we knew a

2761
02:25:28,840 --> 02:25:32,520
Speaker 11: year ago, but we're still walking that journey. It is

2762
02:25:32,560 --> 02:25:35,119
Speaker 11: not all resolved in behind us, so I would expect

2763
02:25:35,120 --> 02:25:36,960
Speaker 11: that I think by this time next year we'll have

2764
02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:39,240
Speaker 11: a little more information about what the future looks like.

2765
02:25:39,600 --> 02:25:44,560
Speaker 11: But there is a lot of uncertainty that often, from

2766
02:25:44,560 --> 02:25:47,760
Speaker 11: my perspective, is the explanation for some teams as to

2767
02:25:47,800 --> 02:25:49,640
Speaker 11: why they haven't spent more money.

2768
02:25:49,720 --> 02:25:51,760
Speaker 2: Hi jap were really up against the I got to

2769
02:25:51,800 --> 02:25:55,000
Speaker 2: sneak in one more question. Blake Snell is still out there.

2770
02:25:55,200 --> 02:25:59,320
Speaker 2: No one is meeting the high price tag. Could the

2771
02:25:59,400 --> 02:26:02,440
Speaker 2: Dodgers sneak in with a short term deal with a

2772
02:26:02,440 --> 02:26:05,400
Speaker 2: bunch of opt outs in the deal because they still

2773
02:26:05,440 --> 02:26:07,560
Speaker 2: need pitching? I mean, I know that they're trying to

2774
02:26:07,600 --> 02:26:09,480
Speaker 2: spin it one hundred different ways, but they still have

2775
02:26:09,520 --> 02:26:11,520
Speaker 2: a lot of question marks. They don't know about Bueller,

2776
02:26:11,560 --> 02:26:15,280
Speaker 2: they don't know about Kershaw right now, Could they sneak

2777
02:26:15,440 --> 02:26:18,320
Speaker 2: in and get a short term deal done to get

2778
02:26:18,320 --> 02:26:18,840
Speaker 2: Blake Snell?

2779
02:26:20,240 --> 02:26:22,960
Speaker 11: I would be surprised, I really would, just because of

2780
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:25,560
Speaker 11: where they're at with the luxury tax. If they're going

2781
02:26:25,600 --> 02:26:28,680
Speaker 11: to add a pitcher late, I would expect it to

2782
02:26:28,680 --> 02:26:31,560
Speaker 11: be more along the lines of a Michael Lorenzen than

2783
02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:34,280
Speaker 11: I would someone who's going to cost as much as

2784
02:26:34,320 --> 02:26:37,560
Speaker 11: Blake Snell. So I would say if any Southern California

2785
02:26:37,600 --> 02:26:40,760
Speaker 11: team were to add Blake Snell, the Angels have a

2786
02:26:40,800 --> 02:26:42,000
Speaker 11: better chance than the Dodgers.

2787
02:26:42,080 --> 02:26:43,720
Speaker 2: He there, It is very good, all right? So what

2788
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:46,279
Speaker 2: are we going to be speaking to you from Korea?

2789
02:26:47,760 --> 02:26:51,000
Speaker 11: I'm my hope is and I gotta get out my

2790
02:26:51,360 --> 02:26:54,320
Speaker 11: calculator and figure out the time difference and everything else.

2791
02:26:54,680 --> 02:26:59,320
Speaker 11: But as soon as I get my brain wrapped around.

2792
02:26:59,400 --> 02:27:02,200
Speaker 11: We just hadlight savings. Once I get everything figured out,

2793
02:27:02,200 --> 02:27:04,039
Speaker 11: I'm gonna circle back with everybody. We're going to make

2794
02:27:04,080 --> 02:27:04,320
Speaker 11: a plan.

2795
02:27:04,440 --> 02:27:07,520
Speaker 2: Beautiful, JP, you are the best of the best, the

2796
02:27:07,640 --> 02:27:09,160
Speaker 2: highest level of the best.

2797
02:27:09,360 --> 02:27:11,400
Speaker 3: We always appreciate the time. Thanks, Sean Paul.

2798
02:27:11,680 --> 02:27:13,920
Speaker 11: I appreciate it. The George Championship week, my friends, and

2799
02:27:14,080 --> 02:27:15,600
Speaker 11: we'll catch up soon from Korea.

2800
02:27:15,720 --> 02:27:18,760
Speaker 2: We'll do that John Paul Morosi, Fox Sports Radio and

2801
02:27:18,920 --> 02:27:20,080
Speaker 2: it's MLB Insider.

2802
02:27:20,080 --> 02:27:20,400
Speaker 5: Oh good.

2803
02:27:20,600 --> 02:27:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean, we go a whole hour with him. But

2804
02:27:22,920 --> 02:27:25,360
Speaker 2: right now we need to find out what is trending.

2805
02:27:25,440 --> 02:27:28,600
Speaker 2: It's a very busy day, and only one man has

2806
02:27:28,640 --> 02:27:32,440
Speaker 2: got the personal fortitude, wow, to keep up with the

2807
02:27:32,480 --> 02:27:34,520
Speaker 2: pace of what's happening in the sports world.

2808
02:27:34,520 --> 02:27:35,640
Speaker 3: That would be one Brian Filmily.

2809
02:27:35,680 --> 02:27:35,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2810
02:27:35,879 --> 02:27:38,000
Speaker 8: I mean what we're doing here in the Updates studio

2811
02:27:38,360 --> 02:27:41,440
Speaker 8: is like a fast break. It's always transition offense. Yeah,

2812
02:27:41,520 --> 02:27:43,680
Speaker 8: going up and down the floor, trying to score within

2813
02:27:43,760 --> 02:27:46,160
Speaker 8: two to three seconds, and it's like a Kevin Love

2814
02:27:46,240 --> 02:27:48,560
Speaker 8: outlet pass to the guy in the other end who's

2815
02:27:48,600 --> 02:27:50,200
Speaker 8: jamming it in two to three seconds.

2816
02:27:50,240 --> 02:27:53,520
Speaker 2: I really started with Longwood today, he did, so let's

2817
02:27:53,560 --> 02:27:54,320
Speaker 2: go to Longwood.

2818
02:27:54,400 --> 02:27:55,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're.

2819
02:27:55,760 --> 02:27:58,800
Speaker 8: In the NCAA tournament.

2820
02:27:58,879 --> 02:28:01,080
Speaker 3: There you have it, Yeah, there, there we have it.

2821
02:28:01,200 --> 02:28:05,080
Speaker 8: And it's they take out unc Ashville eighty five to

2822
02:28:05,120 --> 02:28:08,400
Speaker 8: fifty nine in the Big South Championship. So there is

2823
02:28:08,440 --> 02:28:11,800
Speaker 8: one NCUBLEA tournament berth that has been solidified. Then there

2824
02:28:11,959 --> 02:28:15,720
Speaker 8: was quite a finish between Stetson and they went head

2825
02:28:15,760 --> 02:28:18,640
Speaker 8: to head against Austin P.

2826
02:28:18,879 --> 02:28:22,279
Speaker 3: Here's the call via ESPN Shart heads.

2827
02:28:22,080 --> 02:28:26,280
Speaker 5: Up, pot three, It's up. It's so good Stetson where

2828
02:28:26,280 --> 02:28:29,320
Speaker 5: it's the A Sun Championship and are coming to the

2829
02:28:29,480 --> 02:28:32,240
Speaker 5: n c A A tournament for the first time at

2830
02:28:32,320 --> 02:28:36,039
Speaker 5: school here and here come to fans.

2831
02:28:37,959 --> 02:28:40,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, there they are. So that's ESPN on the call.

2832
02:28:40,640 --> 02:28:45,080
Speaker 8: Stetson ninety four to forty one winners against Austin P.

2833
02:28:45,200 --> 02:28:47,040
Speaker 8: Austin P, as you heard on that call, had a

2834
02:28:47,120 --> 02:28:50,039
Speaker 8: last second three ball in transition with seconds to go

2835
02:28:50,640 --> 02:28:54,000
Speaker 8: and it was banked off the backboard and off target.

2836
02:28:54,080 --> 02:28:56,800
Speaker 8: So Stetson in for the first time at the D

2837
02:28:56,959 --> 02:29:00,240
Speaker 8: one level. Drake is also in the NCAA tournament now,

2838
02:29:00,320 --> 02:29:03,279
Speaker 8: so they fend off the Indiana State comeback hopes eighty

2839
02:29:03,320 --> 02:29:08,200
Speaker 8: four to in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament final. We

2840
02:29:08,280 --> 02:29:11,840
Speaker 8: also have some other games involving top twenty five teams.

2841
02:29:12,320 --> 02:29:16,320
Speaker 8: One of course, is a contest that will come up

2842
02:29:16,440 --> 02:29:20,880
Speaker 8: in about say four Eastern or four Pacific excuse me,

2843
02:29:20,959 --> 02:29:23,280
Speaker 8: that's going to be number twelve. Illinois and Iowa still

2844
02:29:23,320 --> 02:29:26,440
Speaker 8: regular season in the Big Ten. On the women's side,

2845
02:29:26,480 --> 02:29:29,600
Speaker 8: Caitlin Clark thirty four points to lead Iowa to their

2846
02:29:29,640 --> 02:29:33,320
Speaker 8: third straight Big Ten Tournament final and championship. As she

2847
02:29:33,480 --> 02:29:36,880
Speaker 8: leads the cause and the victory against Nebraska, she had

2848
02:29:36,879 --> 02:29:39,200
Speaker 8: the game tying shot at the end of the fourth

2849
02:29:39,240 --> 02:29:43,360
Speaker 8: quarter and then made a big three in overtime in

2850
02:29:43,520 --> 02:29:47,400
Speaker 8: what led to a ninety four to eighty nine finish.

2851
02:29:47,840 --> 02:29:50,200
Speaker 8: By the way, we do have some NFL news going on.

2852
02:29:50,360 --> 02:29:52,600
Speaker 8: According to reports, the Bears are going to be signing

2853
02:29:52,680 --> 02:29:55,800

Speaker 8: here and I'm gonna say that UCLA basketball next week

2860
02:30:14,600 --> 02:30:16,840
Speaker 8: when they start a lot of the Power five conference

2861
02:30:16,840 --> 02:30:20,119
Speaker 8: tournaments in the last vestige of the PAC twelve tournament.

2862
02:30:20,480 --> 02:30:23,440
Speaker 8: That UCLA is going to run the table and they're

2863
02:30:23,440 --> 02:30:25,160
Speaker 8: gonna get into the NCAA tournament.

2864
02:30:25,240 --> 02:30:28,320
Speaker 4: Oh wow, wow, Well listen, okay, hang on, hang on,

2865
02:30:28,440 --> 02:30:29,000
Speaker 4: let's go back.

2866
02:30:29,080 --> 02:30:32,160
Speaker 5: Let's go back. We'll go We'll go back into history.

2867
02:30:32,440 --> 02:30:36,160
Speaker 5: How about how about way back when was it?

2868
02:30:36,480 --> 02:30:36,680
Speaker 6: Oh?

2869
02:30:36,760 --> 02:30:37,440
Speaker 5: You know what? It was?

2870
02:30:37,480 --> 02:30:41,320
Speaker 4: The Kawhi Leonard year at San Diego State. Yes, Yukon

2871
02:30:41,680 --> 02:30:44,879
Speaker 4: beat San Diego State in the sweet sixteen and they

2872
02:30:44,879 --> 02:30:46,640
Speaker 4: went they advanced to the national time.

2873
02:30:46,640 --> 02:30:47,520
Speaker 5: I think they won the title.

2874
02:30:47,560 --> 02:30:47,680
Speaker 6: Back.

2875
02:30:47,840 --> 02:30:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the same year they had to win

2876
02:30:49,520 --> 02:30:51,720
Speaker 2: five straight games and five straight nights to win the

2877
02:30:51,720 --> 02:30:53,680
Speaker 2: Big East turn exactly what exactly?

2878
02:30:53,840 --> 02:30:57,199
Speaker 4: The Yukon Huskies that year finished their regular season four

2879
02:30:57,240 --> 02:31:00,000
Speaker 4: and seven, won five straight games and five straight nights,

2880
02:31:00,040 --> 02:31:01,519
Speaker 4: and went all the way to the national.

2881
02:31:01,200 --> 02:31:02,520
Speaker 3: Which is still the most unbelievable.

2882
02:31:04,160 --> 02:31:07,920
Speaker 4: Hey, b Fence, Yeah, it's possible, buddy.

2883
02:31:07,680 --> 02:31:11,800
Speaker 2: It would be great except the fact that team, the

2884
02:31:11,879 --> 02:31:16,120
Speaker 2: Yukon team had Kemba Walker right right right who they

2885
02:31:16,160 --> 02:31:20,560
Speaker 2: don't have anyone remotely like that, And like I said,

2886
02:31:20,600 --> 02:31:24,240
Speaker 2: they had that bad combination of really soft players.

2887
02:31:23,760 --> 02:31:25,720
Speaker 5: That can't shoot.

2888
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:30,120
Speaker 8: Okay, So three years ago Oregon State, nobody thought they

2889
02:31:30,120 --> 02:31:31,879
Speaker 8: were going to make the NCAA tournament. The only way

2890
02:31:31,879 --> 02:31:34,560
Speaker 8: they could was win the Pac twelve tournament final, which

2891
02:31:34,600 --> 02:31:36,080
Speaker 8: they did and then they got all the way to

2892
02:31:36,080 --> 02:31:38,360
Speaker 8: the Elite eight. Can either one of you two guys

2893
02:31:38,720 --> 02:31:41,960
Speaker 8: name off somebody on that team. No, I agree with

2894
02:31:42,120 --> 02:31:43,200
Speaker 8: they can do it.

2895
02:31:43,440 --> 02:31:44,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, See that's your thing.

2896
02:31:44,720 --> 02:31:48,760
Speaker 2: My concern right now is the future of mccronin with UCLA.

2897
02:31:48,920 --> 02:31:52,800
Speaker 2: Because I'm a huge Cronin fan. He got dealt a

2898
02:31:52,840 --> 02:31:55,400
Speaker 2: bad hand this year. It was forced on him by

2899
02:31:55,400 --> 02:31:59,519
Speaker 2: the outgoing Chancellor, Gene Block, who's made of the life's

2900
02:31:59,520 --> 02:32:04,400
Speaker 2: mission to destroy the athletic department at UCLA because he believes,

2901
02:32:04,440 --> 02:32:06,879
Speaker 2: even though he's willing to take the hundreds of millions

2902
02:32:06,879 --> 02:32:09,600
Speaker 2: of dollars that are being funneled into the university from

2903
02:32:09,680 --> 02:32:14,279
Speaker 2: their athletic department, that there is no time or space

2904
02:32:15,040 --> 02:32:18,359
Speaker 2: to devote any kind of attention to the athletic department.

2905
02:32:18,680 --> 02:32:20,920
Speaker 3: Fortunately, he's the outgoing chancellor.

2906
02:32:21,080 --> 02:32:24,440
Speaker 5: He's a disaster, a disaster. You know, it feels like

2907
02:32:24,520 --> 02:32:26,680
Speaker 5: that you're this is personal, like if.

2908
02:32:26,600 --> 02:32:30,080
Speaker 2: It is personal, because I'm a UCLA grad on Saturdays,

2909
02:32:30,080 --> 02:32:32,720
Speaker 2: I wear my UCLA shirt. I wear a UCLA teachhert

2910
02:32:32,760 --> 02:32:35,720
Speaker 2: during the week. And to have people not understand the

2911
02:32:35,760 --> 02:32:40,160
Speaker 2: importance of a strong athletic department at any university is

2912
02:32:40,200 --> 02:32:42,840
Speaker 2: someone I don't want running a university.

2913
02:32:42,959 --> 02:32:45,440
Speaker 8: And by the way, Steve, that UCLA shirt is a

2914
02:32:45,480 --> 02:32:47,920
Speaker 8: shirt that you wear all five days of the week

2915
02:32:48,040 --> 02:32:49,280
Speaker 8: and you don't wash it.

2916
02:32:49,360 --> 02:32:51,440
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. It stands up on its own.

2917
02:32:51,640 --> 02:32:51,920
Speaker 5: Wow.

2918
02:32:52,040 --> 02:32:54,520
Speaker 3: That is fin And I'm going to leave that there.

02:33:04,120 --> 02:33:07,720
Speaker 2: some final predictions on what could be the biggest surprises

2923
02:33:07,840 --> 02:33:12,960
Speaker 2: in this NFL free agency week. This is Fox Sports Sunday,

2924
02:33:13,400 --> 02:33:19,000
Speaker 2: Steve Harbin and Rich Armberger Here Fox Sports Sunday. I

2925
02:33:19,080 --> 02:33:21,960
Speaker 2: just had to make a quick change of microphones here, guys,

2926
02:33:23,320 --> 02:33:29,879
Speaker 2: as I let the studio briefly, the microphone attachment on this.

2927
02:33:32,200 --> 02:33:36,520
Speaker 3: Bent and it now is stuck into the machine.

2928
02:33:36,800 --> 02:33:40,880
Speaker 2: Okay, So all of a sudden, So where when you're here, Rich,

2929
02:33:40,959 --> 02:33:43,280
Speaker 2: The one you said at is where I am. So

2930
02:33:43,360 --> 02:33:46,040
Speaker 2: I'm looking over here and I looked at it, and

2931
02:33:46,160 --> 02:33:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if I tripped over the wire or what.

2932
02:33:49,360 --> 02:33:51,920
Speaker 2: So I thought, oh, oh, I see it's bent. And

2933
02:33:51,959 --> 02:33:54,680
Speaker 2: then I'm trying to pull it out of the socket

2934
02:33:54,840 --> 02:33:57,520
Speaker 2: and it is stuck in there. So we're gonna need

2935
02:33:57,560 --> 02:34:00,560
Speaker 2: pliers or something. So I switched gears and now I'm

2936
02:34:00,560 --> 02:34:01,359
Speaker 2: on a different.

2937
02:34:01,120 --> 02:34:01,960

Speaker 4: he can make adjustments on the fly.

2941
02:34:08,920 --> 02:34:10,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes this is the way you have to do it

2942
02:34:10,600 --> 02:34:12,480
Speaker 2: in this industry. By the way, we're live from the

Speaker 4: I wore a purple suit with a top hat and

2975
02:35:36,520 --> 02:35:40,560
Speaker 4: Joe paterno. Uh. He told me to get back in

2976
02:35:40,600 --> 02:35:43,000
Speaker 4: the car and go change and so that so things

2977
02:35:43,040 --> 02:35:44,920
Speaker 4: went a little differently for me than they did for

2978
02:35:45,000 --> 02:35:45,440
Speaker 4: Jimmy Cole.

2979
02:35:45,560 --> 02:35:47,800
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, you're talking about rich Ormberger, who

2980
02:35:47,879 --> 02:35:51,080
Speaker 2: was to date the only lineman ever to be named

2981
02:35:51,080 --> 02:35:54,320
Speaker 2: the New York high school Player of the Year for

2982
02:35:54,400 --> 02:35:58,520
Speaker 2: the entire state. But it is true that Joe Paterno

2983
02:35:58,680 --> 02:36:02,600
Speaker 2: literally got on his hand and knees and begged. Yeah,

2984
02:36:02,800 --> 02:36:04,080
Speaker 2: begged Rich.

2985
02:36:04,000 --> 02:36:07,320
Speaker 5: That's how we state I do. This is a true story.

2986
02:36:07,360 --> 02:36:10,720
Speaker 4: He showed up at my high school and there are

2987
02:36:10,760 --> 02:36:13,000
Speaker 4: a bunch of people waiting to see It was like

2988
02:36:13,040 --> 02:36:15,080
Speaker 4: the Pope was coming to the high school. So the

2989
02:36:15,120 --> 02:36:17,959
Speaker 4: crowd parts I walked through. You know, he's a hero

2990
02:36:18,160 --> 02:36:21,000
Speaker 4: to New Yorkers during his life. Well, so I sit

2991
02:36:21,080 --> 02:36:23,160
Speaker 4: down in the main office with him, and there's a

2992
02:36:23,200 --> 02:36:26,039
Speaker 4: little conference room. We're all sitting around the table. My

2993
02:36:26,160 --> 02:36:29,440
Speaker 4: grandfather showed up. My mom's dad grew up in Brooklyn,

2994
02:36:29,560 --> 02:36:33,880
Speaker 4: turns out around the corner from Joepa the same exact time.

2995
02:36:33,879 --> 02:36:35,760
Speaker 4: They didn't know each other, but they knew all the

2996
02:36:35,800 --> 02:36:39,760
Speaker 4: same people. My grandfather, when you know, he enlisted, came back.

2997
02:36:39,800 --> 02:36:42,360
Speaker 4: He worked as a as a garbage man. He was

2998
02:36:42,400 --> 02:36:45,840
Speaker 4: picking up Joe's family's garbage on the back of his truck.

2999
02:36:46,400 --> 02:36:48,800
Speaker 4: And they never met. It was like, you know whatever

3000
02:36:48,840 --> 02:36:51,560
Speaker 4: you call like passing train cars. They just somehow never

3001
02:36:51,600 --> 02:36:55,000
Speaker 4: met each other. Anyways, they talked for forty five minutes,

3002
02:36:55,120 --> 02:36:59,080
Speaker 4: unbroken about the old neighborhood in Brooklyn, and then finally.

3003
02:36:59,240 --> 02:37:02,400
Speaker 5: Joe paternal looks across the table at me. He goes, hey, John,

3004
02:37:02,520 --> 02:37:06,119
Speaker 5: that's my grandpa's name. He goes, hey, John, how's your grandson?

3005
02:37:06,240 --> 02:37:08,200
Speaker 5: Is he an all right guy? And then my.

3006
02:37:08,640 --> 02:37:12,280
Speaker 9: Grandpa goes, oh, he's the very best. He's a very

3007
02:37:12,280 --> 02:37:14,920
Speaker 9: good boy. And then he goes, yeah, he looks like

3008
02:37:14,959 --> 02:37:17,920
Speaker 9: a knucklehead. He goes, he is also a knucklehead. He

3009
02:37:18,000 --> 02:37:21,039
Speaker 9: is absolutely that. And he goes, well, all right, John,

3010
02:37:21,080 --> 02:37:23,080
Speaker 9: if he's all right by you, he's all right by me.

3011
02:37:23,400 --> 02:37:24,680
Speaker 5: I get offered the scholarship.

3012
02:37:24,680 --> 02:37:28,720
Speaker 4: He leaves, and so the only thing he said to

3013
02:37:28,760 --> 02:37:32,520
Speaker 4: me when we were leaving, he goes, you know, you

3014
02:37:32,600 --> 02:37:35,440
Speaker 4: look bigger in all the pictures, and he slapped my stomach,

3015
02:37:35,640 --> 02:37:36,840
Speaker 4: and then he walked out of the office.

3016
02:37:36,920 --> 02:37:39,600
Speaker 5: That's it. That was the only direct comment he made

3017
02:37:39,640 --> 02:37:41,600
Speaker 5: to me. And he hopped on a flying left town.

3018
02:37:41,680 --> 02:37:43,560
Speaker 3: And then you tortured him for the next five years.

3019
02:37:43,640 --> 02:37:44,959
Speaker 5: I certainly did he deserved it.

3020
02:37:46,600 --> 02:37:50,600
Speaker 2: He tortured him and tortured him and tortured him.

3021
02:37:50,680 --> 02:37:51,080
Speaker 5: All right.

3022
02:37:51,160 --> 02:37:55,200
Speaker 2: So when we look at this week in free agency

3023
02:37:55,400 --> 02:38:02,680
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, Yeah, to me, what the

3024
02:38:02,800 --> 02:38:08,400
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson situation? Is it conceivable that he doesn't get

3025
02:38:08,440 --> 02:38:09,240
Speaker 2: a single offer?

3026
02:38:10,360 --> 02:38:11,560
Speaker 5: I mean it's conceivable.

3027
02:38:11,680 --> 02:38:14,080
Speaker 2: I mean I look at Pittsburgh and I still think

3028
02:38:14,160 --> 02:38:18,160
Speaker 2: Ryan Tannehill because Arthur Smith is there and he work

3029
02:38:18,240 --> 02:38:25,240
Speaker 2: of Ryan Tannehill. And Atlanta. I don't know what Atlanta's

3030
02:38:25,280 --> 02:38:28,280
Speaker 2: gonna do if they can't get Kirk Cousins. I think

3031
02:38:28,320 --> 02:38:31,200
Speaker 2: they're interested in Kirk Cousins. But I believe, like you do,

3032
02:38:31,320 --> 02:38:34,600
Speaker 2: that he's going to re sign with the Vikings. I

3033
02:38:34,640 --> 02:38:36,480
Speaker 2: don't know if they have I mean, they could take

3034
02:38:36,640 --> 02:38:40,080
Speaker 2: Justin Fields. I just I don't know who, even even

3035
02:38:40,120 --> 02:38:42,480
Speaker 2: though the fact that literally you can get Russell Wilson

3036
02:38:42,480 --> 02:38:45,960
Speaker 2: for league minimum, Yeah, yeah, league minimum. I mean the

3037
02:38:46,640 --> 02:38:48,600
Speaker 2: Broncos are on the hook to pan what thirty nine

3038
02:38:48,640 --> 02:38:52,520
Speaker 2: million dollars this year, some crazy number. I don't think

3039
02:38:52,560 --> 02:38:55,080
Speaker 2: anybody's going to be interested in him. I really don't.

3040
02:38:55,240 --> 02:38:59,560
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest with you. I I don't. I

3041
02:38:59,600 --> 02:39:02,280
Speaker 5: don't like him as a free agent signing.

3042
02:39:02,680 --> 02:39:05,400
Speaker 4: I really don't know. I think there's so much baggage.

3043
02:39:05,480 --> 02:39:08,120
Speaker 4: I would take Kirk Cousins over him. I would take

3044
02:39:08,200 --> 02:39:11,840
Speaker 4: Ryan Tannehill over him. I would take Baker Mayfield over him.

3045
02:39:12,080 --> 02:39:14,039
Speaker 4: I would take Gardner Minshew over him.

3046
02:39:14,160 --> 02:39:18,080
Speaker 2: Right, would you take Jameis Winston or Jacoby Brissett over him?

3047
02:39:18,120 --> 02:39:21,760
Speaker 4: And that's when it starts to become a conversation, right,

3048
02:39:21,920 --> 02:39:25,000
Speaker 4: be perfectly honest with you. That's the company he's keeping

3049
02:39:25,080 --> 02:39:26,800
Speaker 4: right now in this free agency market.

3050
02:39:27,280 --> 02:39:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and the question is knowing how he is.

3051
02:39:33,720 --> 02:39:35,840
Speaker 2: That has been explained over and over by so many

3052
02:39:35,879 --> 02:39:37,400
Speaker 2: people about his prima Donna.

3053
02:39:37,480 --> 02:39:37,840
Speaker 3: Ways.

3054
02:39:38,400 --> 02:39:41,000
Speaker 2: If the team says, look, we can't guarantee you a

3055
02:39:41,040 --> 02:39:43,560
Speaker 2: starting job, but we'll give you an opportunity to fight

3056
02:39:43,600 --> 02:39:46,840
Speaker 2: for a job, I mean, I don't think that's in

3057
02:39:46,879 --> 02:39:49,160
Speaker 2: his mentality. He's like, what are you talking about? I'm

3058
02:39:49,240 --> 02:39:53,680
Speaker 2: Russell freaking Wilson crazy. Yeah, all right, it's going to

3059
02:39:53,720 --> 02:39:56,440
Speaker 2: be a busy week and we've got selection Sunday next week.
