Speaker 3: up to sixty percent off and free shipping. Last night,
Speaker 3: that was a homework assignment. The Vikings over the Bears.
Speaker 3: The Vikings now twelve and two. The Bears dropped to
Speaker 3: four and ten. The Falcons won, but if you're a
Speaker 3: Falcon fan, I don't think that felt like a victory.
Speaker 3: You're now seven and seven. They're very comfortable. It feels
Speaker 3: like with seven wins, haven't they had seven wins the
Speaker 3: previous three seasons. The Raiders now two and twelve, and
Speaker 3: thankfully they didn't screw it up and win a game.
Speaker 3: But two and twelve, still in line to get the
Speaker 3: number one overall pick. But fifteen to nine the ending score,
Speaker 3: Falcons over the Raiders. Other news, the Lions lost their
Speaker 3: workhorse running back David Montgomery looks like he's done for
Speaker 3: the year. A couple of colleges looking at Michael Vick
Speaker 3: that came out of nowhere, Norfolk State and Sacramento State
Speaker 3: looking at Michael Vick. We have more on that coming up,
Speaker 3: but tonight, it's the Cup. That's all Fritzy's been talking about.
Speaker 3: It's the Cup.
Speaker 4: It's a big deal.
Speaker 3: The Bucks and the thunder for the Cup comes down
Speaker 3: to this, Yes, it does.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of money at stake as well.
Speaker 3: Ratings are down with the NBA, and I don't know
Speaker 3: if you can pinpoint a reason. I always go back
Speaker 3: to if they don't care, I don't care. I think
Speaker 3: load management has turned people away.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: If we're glued to a TV set going, I can't
Speaker 3: wait to watch that game, and even if you do,
Speaker 3: you don't even know who's playing. But ratings have declined,
Speaker 3: and I know they try to spice it up with
Speaker 3: the Cup in season tournament. You're not enticing me if
Speaker 3: you say, hey, we're gonna have put some money at
Speaker 3: stake here.
Speaker 2: So wait a minute.
Speaker 3: They don't really try hard, but now they're really going
Speaker 3: to try hard. Therefore now I should watch much. That
Speaker 3: doesn't work with me. I love the NBA, grown up
Speaker 3: with the NBA, but there are times when I go,
Speaker 3: I don't care. You don't care, and that's the feeling
Speaker 3: I've gotten. Actually it's you don't care the players. I
Speaker 3: don't care either, but I'll watch. No, I would watch anyway.
Speaker 3: It's a good game, but just because it's for the Cup,
Speaker 3: and I know Rob Manfred has gotten roughed up a
Speaker 3: little bit in the media. A lot of people say,
Speaker 3: what are you talking about with this goldennet bat? Where
Speaker 3: you can use that anytime you want. Maybe I've Aaron Judge,
Speaker 3: you know, he gets the bat twice in an inning
Speaker 3: and people will go, what, oh, you know, the purity
Speaker 3: of the game, what are you doing? Okay, we're past that.
Speaker 3: This is about getting eyeballs. And this is what Adam
Speaker 3: Silver is going to have to do. At some point,
Speaker 3: he's going to have to take a swing. He's going
Speaker 3: to have to have a golden net bat. He's going
Speaker 3: to have to have something that is interesting, intriguing, different,
Speaker 3: a tune in factor. Now they've tried to do this
Speaker 3: with the basketball courts, and I'm fine with it. You know,
Speaker 3: you're looking for a younger audience.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: But maybe we add something to those colorful courts, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe there's a blinking three point line, maybe there's something inside.
Speaker 3: Like I was told during the pandemic, and I was
Speaker 3: told by a great source that the NBA was looking
Speaker 3: at creating courts that would resemble pinball machines so it
Speaker 3: would be a little bit more live. Now, I know
Speaker 3: it sounds gimmicky, but I think you've got to get
Speaker 3: to the point where can we keep up? Can we
Speaker 3: keep our place in the sports landscape here? Because we've
Speaker 3: seen sports that just fall off horse racing, boxing, they
Speaker 3: fall off baseball, that was America's pastime, fell off the NBA.
Speaker 3: They're kind of trying to hold on for dear life.
Speaker 3: The NFL is just bulldozing everybody. I get that. But
Speaker 3: you can still maintain your place at least you hope
Speaker 3: to on the sports ladder. But you know, the NFL
Speaker 3: is up all the way at the top, and then
Speaker 3: you got people down the totem pole here. What are
Speaker 3: you going to do? What are you going to do
Speaker 3: when Lebron leaves? What are you going to do Lebron
Speaker 3: steph k d leave? Are you going to trust the
Speaker 3: game with the joker? Luca Jannis? Great players, Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame players? But then you got guys like John Morant.
Speaker 3: You can't trust him, wonderful talent, can't trust him. Zion
Speaker 3: Williamson reportedly you know available if you want to trade
Speaker 3: for him. So you're looking at what is the future?
Speaker 3: You know, Cooper Flag coming in like there's always going
Speaker 3: to be you know, fresh blood in there. The question
Speaker 3: is who is a tune in factor person. The WNBA
Speaker 3: struck gold they got Caitlin Clark. The NBA needs somebody
Speaker 3: somebody like that. And I think this is where Adam
Speaker 3: Silver is going to have to, you know, have a
Speaker 3: golden it back type thing of swinging for some things
Speaker 3: and trying some new things. Remember with baseball, the pitch clock.
Speaker 3: Oh god, the base is going to be a little
Speaker 3: bit larger. Uh, nobody complains about him. Now we actually
Speaker 3: had guys who stole bases. Games were quicker, like there
Speaker 3: seem to be more movement in the game. He's trying,
Speaker 3: and I think that's what you want. You know, football,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what they do. This commissioner can't screw
Speaker 3: it up. Hey, we're going to do this to the kickoff. Now,
Speaker 3: imagine if we were doing this years ago, where we said, hey,
Speaker 3: this is what we're doing. Even you can't touch a quarterback.
Speaker 3: Imagine if we did that years ago. Oh, what's the
Speaker 3: game devolved in? Oh, I don't want to watch this.
Speaker 3: Put a skirt on him. Now we're like, no, you
Speaker 3: got to protect them. You got to protect my homes.
Speaker 3: Nn TUA. The kickoff, Like esthetically, when you watch it,
Speaker 3: it's still weird to see you're just standing there, you know,
Speaker 3: like you know, you're guarding the queen and just standing
Speaker 3: there until and gout and then you scra you know,
Speaker 3: it's really silly looking.
Speaker 2: But the NFL can do no wrong.
Speaker 3: Hey, we're going to outsoort, We're sending games out of
Speaker 3: the country they do. Hey, we're going to have you
Speaker 3: play three games in eleven days. Okay, can't do any wrong,
Speaker 3: doubleheaders on Monday.
Speaker 2: You know, We're like, yeah, okay. But I think with
Speaker 2: the NBA, I.
Speaker 3: Think we're going to have to start looking and going, Okay,
Speaker 3: where are we going? What is the future of the NBA?
Speaker 3: And you got to ask these hard questions. We see
Speaker 3: what's happening in college football like it happened quick and
Speaker 3: it's still evolving, and that's what you have to be
Speaker 3: able to get ahead of, you know, these kind of
Speaker 3: decisions or these seismic shifts that you have in sports. Crazy.
Speaker 3: But I think that's what the NBA. They're going to
Speaker 3: have to have one of those what ifs. Hey, there's
Speaker 3: no bad ideas here, Let's just put stuff out there
Speaker 3: and see what can we do.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The first thing I would say is I want to
Speaker 3: know who's playing. That's it. Are you playing? But don't
Speaker 3: tell me, Hey, they're playing for money. Now if you
Speaker 3: said the Bucks in Thunder had to put in their
Speaker 3: own money. Today in the middle of the court, commissioner
Speaker 3: brings a wheelbarrow out and says, they're playing for this money,
Speaker 3: and the Bucks and the Thunder put up the money. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's interesting, not going to happen. But just because they're
Speaker 3: playing for money doesn't mean anything to me. I want
Speaker 3: you to play hard, not hey, we're playing hard because
Speaker 3: we can get some money than do anything for me
Speaker 3: other than I guess they're really trying.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: It's like Baseball tried back with the All Star Game
Speaker 3: and Fox goes, nobody's watching the All Star Game? How
Speaker 3: about home field advantage for the World Series? Silly idea,
Speaker 3: But they were trying. I'd rather have that commissioner who's
Speaker 3: trying to do something now. I don't want change for
Speaker 3: the sake of change, but I do want ideas. And
Speaker 3: I think we're not beholding to records anymore. It's not
Speaker 3: like you go, oh my god, you've got the bases larger.
Speaker 3: Well that's not the same with Ricky Henderson. We got
Speaker 3: all that. I get that, but I think you got
Speaker 3: to try. You got to be experimental or willing to
Speaker 3: be flexible there. Because our attention span is getting shorter
Speaker 3: and shorter, you're going to flip through.
Speaker 2: It used to be you would just watch.
Speaker 3: Well, now you really have to give me a reason
Speaker 3: why I'm watching this game. I'd like that the Bucks,
Speaker 3: Giannis and Dame are playing well, and Doc Rivers seems
Speaker 3: like he's going to keep his job. Okay, the Thunder
Speaker 3: when they get Chaed Holmgren back. You know, SGA is
Speaker 3: a really talented play Not enough for me to tune
Speaker 3: in for that, and I love basketball, so I do
Speaker 3: think the NBA will have to look at something. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if you start to hear, hey, they're
Speaker 3: considering this, or they'll float it out, they'll leak it
Speaker 3: in the media and say, hey, we're thinking about this.
Speaker 3: What and then all of a sudden we discuss it.
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, Yeah, I would have lost some money because
Speaker 5: if we had made a bet at the end of
Speaker 5: last year's playoffs, I would have said, Anthony Edwards is
Speaker 5: the guy you have to hit your wagon to, just
Speaker 5: because they had such a great run in the playoffs,
Speaker 5: and he's such a great personality, and I don't know
Speaker 5: what happened.
Speaker 3: I don't I mean, once again, I don't go all
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves are playing. I'm going to tune in, but
Speaker 3: if I do tune in, I know that he'll stand out.
Speaker 3: They're above five hundred with the Lakers. The Lakers, you
Speaker 3: know that roster is not a winning roster. You know
Speaker 3: they're an eight seed team. It feels like but Lebron's
Speaker 3: going to be done in a year, Steph in maybe
Speaker 3: two years, KD a couple then what I mean? These
Speaker 3: are all first ballot Hall of Famers, top fifteen players
Speaker 3: of all time, trying to get guys nowadays who are
Speaker 3: going to play, want to play, win championships.
Speaker 2: The fact that Zion is available right now. I mean the.
Speaker 3: Pelicans they almost had it, they almost did, and now
Speaker 3: they don't have anything.
Speaker 2: They're terrible, They're in last place. Zion couldn't miss.
Speaker 3: He's going to be a star. I don't even know
Speaker 3: if he wants to play. I don't know how much
Speaker 3: it matters to him. John Moran's got everything until he
Speaker 3: doesn't have anything. Anthony Edwards can be wonderful, but what
Speaker 3: did it come down to in the Olympics, those same
Speaker 3: three old guys. Joker's great, but he's just great to watch.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I think the NBA has got
Speaker 3: a challenge here ahead of them because the last ten
Speaker 3: years the ratings have been going down steadily, a steady decline,
Speaker 3: and this year not good either. And who has the
Speaker 3: philosophy of a sport where you go, Hey, our season
Speaker 3: starts in October, but wait till Christmas and then we're
Speaker 3: going to have some really good games. I'm going to
Speaker 3: take a couple of months off. It's not a great
Speaker 3: game plan for me if you're the commissioner. Hey, the
Speaker 3: season starts Christmas Day. I think we all feel that way.
Speaker 3: That's what he was trying to do this with the
Speaker 3: NBA Cup. It's about the Cup, Todd.
Speaker 4: It's the Cup tonight. Fucks thunder for it all, for
Speaker 4: some of it, not all of it.
Speaker 2: The Cup, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5: And the NBA is in even more trouble because the
Speaker 5: NFL's like, no, no, no, we got Christmas. Yes, they roughed
Speaker 5: them up too, like that was their primetime. Hey, guys,
Speaker 5: the seasons here are big matchups. We got five great
Speaker 5: games with ten great teams and NFL is like, I guess.
Speaker 3: You know, you know what the NFL said, Hey, we're
Speaker 3: gonna have our guys play on like two days rest.
Speaker 2: You guys have for it.
Speaker 3: Sure you want to play football and Christmas me away
Speaker 3: from the family.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 6: I think after listening to everything you just said, what
Speaker 6: really stands out to me is the NFL is always
Speaker 6: pushing it and feeling more intense and playing more games,
Speaker 6: and their players are playing Nobody sits out as a
Speaker 6: healthy scratch. What bothers me about the NBA, and for
Speaker 6: listening to talk about this for the past few minutes,
Speaker 6: the games lack intensity, no matter they have star power.
Speaker 6: They have lots of star power, a lot of recognizable names.
Speaker 6: When I tune into a game, I watch guys running
Speaker 6: up and down, jacking threes and running back down and
Speaker 6: jacking threes. And that's what it happens for about two hours.
Speaker 6: There's very little intensity. I don't need fighting or punching,
Speaker 6: but intensity of the game they feel. The games feel casual,
Speaker 6: especially the first half of the season.
Speaker 3: I watched the Knicks and the Hawks the other night,
Speaker 3: and I watched most of the game and really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: There was a feel to it, but that's because of
Speaker 3: Trey Young in the Garden against the Knicks, and that
Speaker 3: is this standalone game. I'm not saying you're going to
Speaker 3: get that all the time, but I'd like a little
Speaker 3: bit more of that where it feels like it really
Speaker 3: means something to the players.
Speaker 2: And it just feels like, hey, you know.
Speaker 3: We're going to work, got to go out there, I
Speaker 3: got to play, you know, about thirty four minutes, and
Speaker 3: then ron to the next game. I shoot a couple
Speaker 3: threes and then that's it. It doesn't feel and maybe
Speaker 3: there's too many games we've talked about that, but once again,
Speaker 3: I'm not beholden to the records the way I once was.
Speaker 3: I don't know if the American public is either, But
Speaker 3: I do think you're going to need a commissioner, and
Speaker 3: this commercial commissioner is a very bright man to maybe
Speaker 3: start to look at things. And I think the courts
Speaker 3: that kind of had a shock value to it. You're like, whoa,
Speaker 3: what's this?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 2: Do you want to do that all season long? Okay?
Speaker 3: Like what the All Star Game is not worth tuning into?
Speaker 3: Now we're tuning into what the three point shooting contest.
Speaker 3: But we're bringing in the WNBA with the NBA and okay,
Speaker 3: you're trying. They can't do anything with the All Star
Speaker 3: Game unless it's the United States against you know, everybody
Speaker 3: else in the world. Maybe that would be interesting. I
Speaker 3: just don't know if you'd have the depth. You probably
Speaker 3: have five or six really really good players from around
Speaker 3: the around the world, and then it would be a
Speaker 3: drastic fall off there. All right, we'll get started here.
Speaker 3: Got a poll question, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6: We may have to play an impromptu good idea, bad
Speaker 6: idea later today where we say what we would give
Speaker 6: an idea to Commissioner Silver. Hmm, Like let's say, like
Speaker 6: you said, there's no bad ideas, all hands on deck.
Speaker 3: Well he has, you know, to his credit, he has
Speaker 3: enacted some of the things I proposed to him, and
Speaker 3: that is, you must play a certain number of games
Speaker 3: to qualify for postseason awards. And I think that that
Speaker 3: does help. Like you know, you almost have to dangle
Speaker 3: a carrot and say come on, you gotta play, gotta play.
Speaker 3: And we took away from the positions on first, second,
Speaker 3: third team.
Speaker 2: He did that as well.
Speaker 3: Those are two things I asked him to do basketball's positionless?
Speaker 3: Take him off, you know, first, second, third team, and
Speaker 3: let's have a requirement of to be eligible for postseason honors,
Speaker 3: you got to play in a certain number of games.
Speaker 3: Shouldn't be that way, but that's what it is, all right.
Speaker 3: We got phone calls, settle on our poll question. We're
Speaker 3: back after this, Dan Patrick shape.

Speaker 3: We'll settle on a pole question at least for the
Speaker 3: first hour. Get to your phone calls as well. No
Speaker 3: stupid idea, No stupid idea Tuesday. When it comes to
Speaker 3: the NBA, PAULI give an example to the audience of
Speaker 3: there's no bad ideas.
Speaker 6: We're trying to improve the game the NBA. You may
Speaker 6: change your mind after this one. Okay, contested dunks are
Speaker 6: worth three points. So you take it to the lane
Speaker 6: and dunk on someone or amongst someone, not an uncontested dunk.
Speaker 6: It's now worth three points. Think of how that changes
Speaker 6: the game on the floor.
Speaker 3: But then I won't contest it back to you. Once again,
Speaker 3: there's smart stuff. There's no bad ideas except for we're open.
Speaker 3: We're opening, so for contested dunks. Okay, Kirk d cousins.
Speaker 3: In primetime. All he does is win. He has now
Speaker 3: thrown one touchdown nine interceptions over the last five weeks.
Speaker 3: That's not good. It was a win and in that division,
Speaker 3: you still have a chance at seven and seven. Raheem
Speaker 3: Morris is the Falcons head coach. Here is the question
Speaker 3: and his answer about his quarterback play.
Speaker 7: Can you assess Kirk's play tonight and where you're at?
Speaker 7: I know you guys got the dub, but in terms
Speaker 7: of him as the starting quarterback move forward.
Speaker 10: He's got to play better. And you know, obviously you
Speaker 10: got to go back. You gotta be a look at everything.
Speaker 10: But you know, he wants to play better. He's got
Speaker 10: to play better. We got to find a way to
Speaker 10: get him to play better. And obviously we'll get to
Speaker 10: work tomorrow. And that's the part of our process, right.
Speaker 10: You go, you look at the tape, you review with
Speaker 10: the people that needs to be reviewed with. You know,
Speaker 10: we get all the coordinators of the room. We'll talk
Speaker 10: with everybody, and we got to play better at the
Speaker 10: quarterback position.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a word salad that meant absolutely no. So
Speaker 3: the reporter asked the follow up question. We're just going
Speaker 3: to play the question and then we're going to play
Speaker 3: what would you say or how would you answer this?
Speaker 2: So here's the question to Raheem Morris.
Speaker 7: Are you prepared to replace them with Michael Pennix?
Speaker 3: Okay, prepared to Todd, I'll let you be Raheem Morris,
Speaker 3: what would you say?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 11: Look, guys, I think I already answered that we're rolling
Speaker 11: with Kirk Cousins. He's our quarterback, all right, But everyone's
Speaker 11: got to be evaluated. Everyone's got to step up. There's
Speaker 11: a playoff spot on the line. We're going with Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 11: but no one, no one is under the guise of
Speaker 11: being able to just do whatever they want and just
Speaker 11: go out there and do it.
Speaker 4: We're going to take it one game.
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on, hold on, Are you evaluating everybody which
Speaker 3: means Michael Pennix Junior gets to play, or are you
Speaker 3: staying with Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 11: We're staying with Kirk Cousins, but I will say that
Speaker 11: every position is up for grabs. There's a playoff spot
Speaker 11: on the line. We are going to evaluate everyone, and
Speaker 11: I mean everyone.
Speaker 3: So b Jeon Robinson is up for grabs. After he
Speaker 3: went over one thousand yards, he starts.
Speaker 11: Fumbling the football or gets negative yards, there's someone right
Speaker 11: there ready to get in there.
Speaker 2: All right, Marvin, your turn to play Raheem Morris.
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins is our starter right now, but anything could
Speaker 5: change at any moment.
Speaker 6: Okay, Paul, We're looking at all options to win football games.
Speaker 2: I would and that's probably the best answer.
Speaker 3: The less you say, the better, But it's we believe
Speaker 3: in Kirk, but we have to have all options on
Speaker 3: the table.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: We're trying to win a division. We're not trying to
Speaker 3: make friends. My job is to win. Here is the
Speaker 3: question and the answer for Raheem Morris.
Speaker 7: Are you prepared to replace them with Michael Pennox?
Speaker 10: You know, we got everybody in our roster for a reason, right,
Speaker 10: We got so much to get better at and like,
Speaker 10: those things will always be discussed.
Speaker 4: That's just the nature of the Beast and football.
Speaker 10: It's just so heavily talked about it at the quarterback
Speaker 10: position because there's only one guy out there, you know,
Speaker 10: so like for us man our mentality is the final
Speaker 10: way to win the next that's just a Mentell we
Speaker 10: ever going to have uh coach?
Speaker 3: You didn't answer the question in any way. No, he
Speaker 3: did a good job in avoiding it. But that's where
Speaker 3: you say, what would it take for you to go
Speaker 3: to Michael Pennix Junior.
Speaker 2: Yes, DoD, I've.
Speaker 11: Already answered that we need to win football games. Okay,
Speaker 11: we need to win football games. That's my answer.
Speaker 3: Now. He didn't say no or that he wouldn't consider
Speaker 3: Michael Pennix Junior. This is what I was told yesterday
Speaker 3: as I'm watching the game and I'm kind of going
Speaker 3: back and forth with a source, and I said, what
Speaker 3: do you think Michael Pennix Junior's development is if they're
Speaker 3: not even really considering him right now? And he said,
Speaker 3: this is what people they make the mistake of quinn
Speaker 3: Ewers at Texas and arch Manning. Steve Sarkesian sees quinn
Speaker 3: Ewers every day in practice in arch Manning and knows
Speaker 3: quinn Ewers gives him a better chance to win than
Speaker 3: arch Manning right now. He said, the coach is there
Speaker 3: every day. They see this every day. O see there's
Speaker 3: something there or not there with Michael Pennix junior right now,
Speaker 3: maybe and he listens to the show, so he goes
Speaker 3: maybe they sprinkle him in. If a game is out
Speaker 3: of reach, either they're up by a lot or they're
Speaker 3: down by a lot, then maybe you give him a
Speaker 3: little bit of a run. But you're in a tight
Speaker 3: divisional race here with Tampa Bay, and you can't afford
Speaker 3: any more slip ups if you're going to try to
Speaker 3: win this division. I mean, this is incredible that the
Speaker 3: Vikings may not win their division and they'll be on
Speaker 3: the road for a playoff game where Atlanta or Tampa
Speaker 3: will win that division and they'll host a playoff game,
Speaker 3: or Green Bay is going to have a better record.
Speaker 3: You know, this has happened before, where you have teams
Speaker 3: that you know don't even get to ten wins, or
Speaker 3: maybe they get to ten wins. You're going to have
Speaker 3: a couple of teams that may have thirteen wins and
Speaker 3: they're not hosting playoff games.
Speaker 6: Yeampoland iwa was look at the Cousins situation. He's completely
Speaker 6: under contract for a lot of money next year. Any
Speaker 6: chance of Falcons look at what Denver did and say,
Speaker 6: we may have to eat one year, but we already
Speaker 6: have Michael Pennix the Dolph. The Broncos made a gutsy move.
Speaker 6: They got ripped for that financial move, but it's working
Speaker 6: out for the Broncos now.
Speaker 3: The difference is Kirk Cousins is extremely likable. Sean Payton
Speaker 3: didn't like Russell Wilson. He didn't want him in the building.
Speaker 3: He didn't want Russ to have his own office, you know,
Speaker 3: all of this stuff, like he wanted him gone, he
Speaker 3: wanted this. I'm coaching, I've got players, I don't have
Speaker 3: an assistant coach, and it's Russell Wilson down the hallway.
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is well liked now, probably losing some respect
Speaker 3: as far as being able to step up and play,
Speaker 3: and he played well earlier in the season. But five games,
Speaker 3: one touchdown, nine interceptions. That's inexcusable. But that might tell
Speaker 3: you where Michael Pennix is in his development. Falcons next
Speaker 3: three games, their final three.
Speaker 6: Games, Giants, Commanders, Panthers.
Speaker 3: You got to win all three. You got to win
Speaker 3: all three, and you should, or at least you got
Speaker 3: a really good shot there. Commanders. With Kirk playing his
Speaker 3: former team, maybe that's a big deal. But what's Tampa
Speaker 3: final three games.
Speaker 6: Tampa's last three games at the Cowboys hosts the Panthers
Speaker 6: host the Saints.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so easier schedule. Can't afford can't afford another slip
Speaker 3: up here.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: Can you put Michael Pennix Junior in now three games
Speaker 3: to go? If they lost last night? I would. I
Speaker 3: would put him in. If they lost fifteen to nine,
Speaker 3: then I would if he's ready. Once again, I don't
Speaker 3: know his development. I don't have somebody with the Falcons
Speaker 3: who's saying, hey, you know, I had somebody with the
Speaker 3: Chargers who said, hey, uh, Justin Herbert's the real deal.

Speaker 2: The Way Tire Buying should be?
Speaker 3: Should you put the Titans on the pole? Question of teams?
Speaker 3: How did you phrase the pole?
Speaker 2: Question?
Speaker 11: Todd Rich NFL franchise feels like it is in the
Speaker 11: worst shape. We had the Bears, Giants, Panthers, Raiders. Now
Speaker 11: we're thinking Browns, Jaguars, Titans should all be in the
Speaker 11: mix for that.
Speaker 3: Okay, here's my question for the dan Ets, and I
Speaker 3: ask them, do you know who the head coach of
Speaker 3: the Titans is?
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin Jeff Fisher. Yes, that's the last time I
Speaker 5: paid attention to Mike Vrabel.
Speaker 2: Yes, did they whiff on will Levis?
Speaker 1: Todd?
Speaker 2: Do you know the head coach of the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 4: Mitchell Rhodes, it's not. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Mitchell Road sounds like an accountant coach Roads.
Speaker 4: We gotta win one here, one for coach Road.
Speaker 3: Ray Rhoads. Paul, who's the Titans head coach?
Speaker 6: Not Dave Canalis. I want to show that I know
Speaker 6: at least yes, your.
Speaker 3: Name McGillicutty, Tommy McGillicutty.
Speaker 2: No, No, it's I could have told me. I got
Speaker 2: it right, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 4: It's not McDonald. It's not Michael McDonald.
Speaker 3: He's in Seattle Jack So they got bad uniforms. Nobody
Speaker 3: knows their head coach. They may have whiffed on Will Levis.
Speaker 3: I put the Titans on there. Yeah, Paul, I have
Speaker 3: the name.
Speaker 6: Do you want it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Brian Callahan there you go. That's close to McGillicutty or whatever.
Speaker 3: It wasn't Brian Callahan wasn't uh? Was it was it
Speaker 3: Callahan break pads Callahan motors?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he was Tommy Callahan. I don't know
Speaker 3: if his dad was, you know, Ryan Callahan. That's yes, yes, Tom.
Speaker 4: Is that a relation to Bill Callahan? Can we safely
Speaker 4: say that? Or no?
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's I don't know if that's
Speaker 3: his son, Bill Callahan, who was with the Raiders went
Speaker 3: to Nebraska. Yeah, so yeah, I would put the Titans
Speaker 3: on there, kind of like.
Speaker 2: I don't know, nondescript.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul and boll Callahan was the quarterback in draft
Speaker 6: day that they didn't want to draft.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had bad rap with his teammates. Yes, all right,
Speaker 3: no bad ideas when it comes to fixing the NBA.
Speaker 2: No bad ideas today. Uh, let's see, is it Jaren
Speaker 2: in Indiana?
Speaker 12: How's it going? DP?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 13: But I got a couple of ideas for the NBA.
Speaker 13: I know this one's kind of been mentioned already, but
Speaker 13: I think they need to reduce the games they played
Speaker 13: in the season. They're just too watered down and it's
Speaker 13: hard for the fans to care if the players don't care.
Speaker 13: And I think they should work it in with their
Speaker 13: contracts as well, not only the postseason awards, but the
Speaker 13: amount of money they make if they if they set games,
Speaker 13: then they should lose out on money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they I don't know if you can take
Speaker 3: the money away from them, but these are all ideas
Speaker 3: that they've already enacted. You've got to play a certain
Speaker 3: number of games to qualify for all NBA awards.
Speaker 2: Let's see what else do we have? Colin in New
Speaker 2: York a Colin.
Speaker 12: Hey, Dan, do you ever play backball with a girl
Speaker 12: like competitively?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 12: I mean like I did when I was in the
Speaker 12: Boys and Girls Club in fifth grade. My point guard
Speaker 12: was a girl. She was about dribblerund on the team.
Speaker 12: You know, it was awesome. And there's all these w
Speaker 12: NBA stars. I mean, how like tomorrow's headlines today Sabrien
Speaker 12: I s who outshines Lebron with triple doubble and win.
Speaker 12: You want to watch that game?
Speaker 4: You know? Is it?
Speaker 12: Is it on YouTube? Either they got the highlights or
Speaker 12: the full game, you know, Like, I mean, why don't
Speaker 12: we combine these two? I mean I think after a while,
Speaker 12: not even after a while, I think immediately I think, wait.
Speaker 2: Wait, you want to combine the NBA and the w NBA.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I just think it's it's just more, it's it's great,
Speaker 12: it's great playing, you know, like with women, you could
Speaker 12: have like a rule, like maybe you have to have
Speaker 12: three guys and two women on the court, you know,
Speaker 12: on your team on the court.
Speaker 3: Okay, once again, I did state there's no bad ideas today.
Speaker 3: But I can't see that happening Colin. But thank you,
Speaker 3: no bad ideas that probably wouldn't work out. Well, it's crazy,
Speaker 3: and once again there's no bad ideas.
Speaker 11: Yes, hun, what if we had little white lights around
Speaker 11: the perimeter of the basketball court, and when the lights
Speaker 11: are either on or blinking, feel free to chuck up
Speaker 11: as many threes as you want.
Speaker 4: When those lights are off, it's only twos.
Speaker 3: Well, I said that last week of you have the
Speaker 3: three point line lights up? I like that when it
Speaker 3: lights up, then you get to shoot. Okay, let's putting
Speaker 3: a lot of hours. Are you listening to me?
Speaker 4: I guess I thought mine was a little different. My
Speaker 4: lights were around the perimeter.
Speaker 11: Of the court and blinking lights when the lights are
Speaker 11: on enough, But who has the power to decide when
Speaker 11: you can take threes and not some guy up in
Speaker 11: the rafters that are plugging in pressing.
Speaker 4: A button totally random, just on some kind of automated Yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, it's like a slot machine where
Speaker 3: you're never sure, then all of a sudden it starts
Speaker 3: to light up.
Speaker 11: What if you're in the process of taking the flight
Speaker 11: and all of a sudden, the light goes out.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, I got I released it before we
Speaker 4: got to look at the replay.
Speaker 2: What do you think happens?
Speaker 4: Lots of replay in the game next five hours.
Speaker 3: No, it's not a bad idea because I came up
Speaker 3: with it last week. It's a bad idea because you
Speaker 3: thought you came up with it this week.
Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough. I knew I heard it somewhere. I
Speaker 4: must have been back of my mind somewhere.
Speaker 2: You should listen to the show occasionally.
Speaker 4: It's pretty well. Listen to me that.
Speaker 2: What did Chris.
Speaker 3: Myers say when we had him on many many many
Speaker 3: years ago, Uh, I listened to your show here, it's
Speaker 3: pretty good. Now he said, it's surprisingly good.
Speaker 2: Thank you Chris.
Speaker 4: That's not a compliment.
Speaker 3: No, no, not that I'm waiting for a compliment from
Speaker 3: Chris Myers. And I'm going to go, hey, you know what,
Speaker 3: it's a decent show we got here, Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 3: Do we have our poll? So we have our poll
Speaker 3: question on maybe we need to keep this for the
Speaker 3: next hour. Maurice Jones Drew is going to join us. Oh,
Speaker 3: ask him which team feels hopeless right now?
Speaker 11: Bears Browns, Giants, Jags, Panthers, Raiders, Titans.
Speaker 3: More phone calls coming up next hour as well. It's
