1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio radio.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: Oh good afternoon, everybody, Jeff, A pleasure to be with

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: you here.

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 3: I just thought of this.

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: You remember the old Jin Blossom's hit, Hey Jealousy? Remember

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: that song? Is that ring a bell at all? Sure

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: might have been born the same year that came out.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna do a quick Google search over here,

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: but it wasn't okay song it came out. It came

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: out in ninety two. When were you born, Jeff, nineteen

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: eighty six. Okay, so you were a wee six years

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: old maybe at the time when Hey Jealousy came out.

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: But it popped into my head because I'm thinking about

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: the WNBA and what's going on with the treatment of

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark.

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: Lord. We talked about this last week, Jeff. Remember last

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: week the narrative shifted to, Oh, it's just it's healthy competition.

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: All these girls want to do is just beat Caitlyn

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 3: clar What's wrong with that?

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: And then we fast forward to last night and you

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: had the Indiana Fever facing the Chicago sky. Chicago scored,

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: and Caitlin Clark is just waiting for the ball to

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: be inbounded to her and there is. It's not allowed

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: in the NFL. It was the old hinz Ward blind

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: side block. You know, that's what happened. Someone from the

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: Chicago Sky just lays Caitlin Clark out. Yep, and we're

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: supposed to believe Jeff, this is just healthy competition.

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 3: There's not anything else.

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: But Angel Reese jumped up off the bench started clapping

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: for a teammate, Kennedy Clark. She's the one who laid

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: out Caitlin Clark. She wouldn't answer any Caitlin Clark questions

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: after the game.

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: This is ridiculous. But come on, dude, this is jealousy,

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: animosity being threatened.

35
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: It's a whole gumbo of hater raide and it's obnoxious.

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: What's going on right now?

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: Afternoon, Brian, to talk to you again, to talk to

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: everyone else? Yeah, what a what an interesting time for WNBA.

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 4: I'll say this. I said this yes on social media

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: the WNBA good, bad, and different. Cheap shot, not a

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 4: cheap shot. This has been great for them, Matt. I mean,

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: when you're arguing about whether the best player or one

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: of the best players is being treated unfairly, I mean

44
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 4: you have reached territory that every other sport is in

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: right like, this is just a fantastic spot for them

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: to be And because we were talking about them again, right,

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 4: wrong and different, they're talking about them right like that

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: people are caring about the WNBA enough to talk about it.

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: And the reason is Kaylen Clark. That's the reason why.

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 4: And there's so many things that play here, right because look,

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: was it the worst cheap shot I've ever seen? Nah,

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: that wasn't like the worst, right, And mean, Kaila Clark's fine,

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 4: she's not injured, She's finished the game. We've seen worst

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: cheap shots, right, But it's sort of the culmination of

55
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: what feels like in effort to make her life miss

56
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: Roles or rookie, which, by the way, it's how most

57
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: sports are. It's not this is not any different. The

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: difference is I think the reasons why right now you

59
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: can argue, and I think there's you know, the idea

60
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: of like, she's had too much attention and she doesn't

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 4: she doesn't deserve the attention yet, Okay, And that's certainly

62
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: a fair argument to make, But the people making the

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: argument are not the ones that aren't getting the attention. Right.

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: So when you say something like you know, what, she's

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: getting too much attention too early in her career. That's

66
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: sort of you know the the it feels like you

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: know that that you're saying that I should be getting

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: the attention instead, right, because she's getting it, but the

69
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: the league wasn't getting the attention they're getting without Kaylyn

70
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: Clark right now. Yeah, they were getting some attention, absolutely,

71
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 4: and they were getting more attention they weren't getting, you know,

72
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: Kaitlin Clark attention. So when you say she hasn't deserve

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: the attention she's getting, I get it. I understand as

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: a former athlete. I get it. But she's not taking

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: away attention from you because you weren't getting it anyways. Okay,

76
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: so I don't quite buy the argument. The thing that

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: is tough when we talk about these subjects because people

78
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 4: turn into race, especially on social media. I asked yesterday

79
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: why don't players like her? Right, people say jealousy, which

80
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 4: we kind of just talked about, and people bring up

81
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 4: the fact that she's white, and we've we've seen other

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: other coaches mentioned this and players mentioned this. I kind

83
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: of don't buy that either, because here's why the MVP

84
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: of the WNBA is white. The last great rookie, sobridian

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 4: Escu also white, so Brian, I don't buy this is

86
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: a race thing either. I mean it certainly can be.

87
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's not a factor at all in this,

88
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: but I think it's kind of a not the best factor.

89
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: I think in the end, it's jealousy. It's what you said.

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: I know people are saying, no, no, no, it's not no,

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: it is that because the other reasons don't make sense

92
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: to me, because look, the race thing. Look, I get it.

93
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: Maybe they don't like her because she's white. I don't know,

94
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: but again, Brianna Stewart's white. Who's the best player in

95
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: the league. So I don't believe it it's a race thing.

96
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: I just think people are jealous. I think that players

97
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: have Again I'm not disregarding this opinion because I understand

98
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: this from being from the athlete perspective, but players are

99
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: jealous that she's getting the attention that they think that

100
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: they deserve. Again, I don't know why they think they

101
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: deserve because they weren't getting it beforehand. But she's done

102
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: so much good for the league. And and with this too,

103
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: is that she herself is not unlikable, right, So if

104
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 4: she was unlikable and sort of put other girls down,

105
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: other women down, should say, and talked about other women

106
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: a certain way and uplift other women like Okay, fine,

107
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: yeah she's she's not a nice person, but just the opposite, Brian,

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 4: she's super nice about the whole about like she said

109
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: such great things about injuries before the game and Cardosa

110
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 4: before the game. And so it's just jealousy, man, That's

111
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 4: why I've determined it's just jealousy and gets sports that happens.

112
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: But it just feels aggressive right now.

113
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. It's aggressive jealousy.

114
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the follow up to hate jealousy for the

115
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: gin Blossoms, they come back out, you know, they get

116
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: the band back together. I don't know if they've taken

117
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: some time aggressive jealousy. That's what we've fast forwarded to.

118
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 4: And the thing about her too, by the way, Brian

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: is yeah, she's I've made money fading her. We've talked

120
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: this before, but she's doing really well for rookie and

121
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 4: in the WNBA it feels a little more drafted than

122
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 4: in the NBA when rookie struggle because you know, they

123
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 4: they're so good in college. Sometimes we don't really get

124
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: that in the NBA game where the players coming from

125
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: college or like the best player ever right, because of

126
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: the way the structure of college basketball works, so we

127
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 4: see players as rookies struggle. We saw it with again

128
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: Sabrina Nescue struggle as a rookie. But Kainga walks everything

129
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: like seventeen to seven and five like yeah, as someone

130
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: who's her team sucks, her team is bad and not good,

131
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: and I will I will end with this. I'm sorry.

132
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: I have one more point to make here. I was

133
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 4: I was a little bit upset at her teammates because

134
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: her teammates should have gone after Carter and the Fever

135
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 4: need to hire an enforcer whose job is to do

136
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: the Jeff Schwartz high school basketball stat line. It's it's

137
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: six minutes, five fouls, four rebounds, and one layup. Like

138
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: they need that from someone on their team because I

139
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: think there her teammates like her. I don't know why

140
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: they wouldn't. But you have to show that you are

141
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: in complete support of your best player, your friend changing player,

142
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: and you just have to Brian, you have to bring

143
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: someone in who's willing to and I A get this

144
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 4: is not the sport per se as much anymore. It's

145
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: not what basketball is. But you need someone. You need

146
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: someone to make sure that other players know if you're

147
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: gonna do this to my girl, to my teammate, we're

148
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 4: gonna make you pay for it.

149
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it makes sense. I just think two things.

150
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: The first thing is, and you alluded to this, Caitlin

151
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: Clark has done nothing wrong.

152
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: It'd be one thing if she was just I've arrived.

153
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 3: I'm the best.

154
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: You know, this league is irrelevant without me, And it

155
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: just gave these other players a reason to just hate her.

156
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: What's her sin?

157
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: Her sin is she was a great player in college

158
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: and she's gotten a lot of attention. That's her sin. Yeah,

159
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: if you could even call it, which clearly is not one.

160
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: But that's the reason she's getting so much hatred directed

161
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: at her.

162
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

163
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: And the other thing is, look, man, I have no

164
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: problem with beefs.

165
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: It's just own it. I'm a firm believer in just

166
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: own it.

167
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: None of these other players, Angel Reese, Chnnity Carter, whoever else,

168
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: they don't have to like her. They could hate her.

169
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: I just ask that you own it, don't spin it into.

170
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's just healthy competition.

171
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: No, you guys are making something out of nothing when

172
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: she gets decleted and she's not even wearing cleats out there.

173
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: Obviously it's basketball.

174
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 2: That's an issue that goes above and beyond just healthy competition,

175
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: and there's a motive. There's no denying that, So just

176
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: own it. I would rather hear in a postgame press conference. Yeah,

177
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: I don't like her. Frankly, I hate her. I think

178
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: it's been a lot of attention, and I don't think

179
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: there's nearly as much substance that warrants all this attention, period,

180
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: point blank.

181
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: Hard stop.

182
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: I'd have a lot more appreciation for the venom coming

183
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: her way, but to spit it into oh no, not us.

184
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: I just hate the no, the innocent like Babe in

185
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: the Woods routine. It's obnoxious to what's happening in this league.

186
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: And you know, they refuse to talk about it last night,

187
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 4: and I can understand the frustration and getting I would imagine, Look,

188
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: the players, he asked a lot about campin Clark and

189
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 4: they don't think that she deserves it and all, you know,

190
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: all that, all the kind of the things we always

191
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: say about it, right, But do you know how it

192
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: would stop. Like if you just didn't cheap shot her,

193
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: they want to ask you a question about cheap shot

194
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: in her right, Like you know what I mean, Like

195
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: it's it's pretty simple. They won't ask a questions about it.

196
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: And so if you just didn't do it, then there's

197
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: nothing to talk about. And so I don't I don't

198
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: think players sort of understand that that idea, you know,

199
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: like if you just didn't talk about it, they wouldn't

200
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 4: bring it up. But they they have. And look again,

201
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: her go find the club on social media, guys about

202
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 4: you know, she's talking about you know about Angel Reese

203
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: and and uh and Camilica Doorsa like she's Cordosa, like

204
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 4: she's taught. She said the nice things about them, and

205
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 4: and again, it's just it's jealousy. It's a bad look.

206
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: I don't think people are gonna watch the league less.

207
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: People have argued that, I think it says it is

208
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: a bad look. It's a bad look. And again, Brent,

209
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: I'm I'm sort of okay with the cheat, not okay

210
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: with the cheap shot. I don't know how to put it.

211
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 4: It's something in the world. I think people are a

212
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: little bit overreacting to to that a little bit, Brian like, yeah,

213
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: it's a cheap shot. It didn't injure her in her career,

214
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: you know, just sort of some rough ball. But to

215
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: deny that it's anything, like, you know, to deny that

216
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 4: there's not anything more behind that, I think is the

217
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 4: wrong thing there, because it certainly.

218
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: Is, there's no doubt. But that's an interesting point. Where

219
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: is this good or bad for the league? I'd argue

220
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 2: it's more good because we're talking about it, we're focused

221
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: on it.

222
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, so we started, we started our show Tatena

223
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: and again, no it's not like there's football we're missing

224
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 4: to skip out on. But still, I mean we're starting

225
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 4: a show, a national radio show talking about the WNBA.

226
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 4: And again I mean not talking about baseball right now,

227
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: or softball or any other golfer. Are you have a

228
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: golf wager or ufl or football or backhoege basketball? No,

229
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 4: I mean mea finals start this week. We want to

230
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 4: talk at the NBA finals talking about about WNBA. So

231
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: in the end, it's kind of a win for the league.

232
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think absolutely. In the end, it's a

233
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: win for the league, but not a win for Caitlin

234
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: Clark that's ridiculous that.

235
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: She's she's handled like a look of pro though. Man, yeah,

236
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 4: she's doing a good job.

237
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 2: She's been a pro all across the board, and all

238
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: these haters try to trag her down.

239
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: It's insane. What's going on there?

240
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,000

273
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: joins us to talk some NFL. Jeff in effect. Yeah,

274
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: absolutelys think about this. We've got our finals matchup set, yeah,

275
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: and we've got the Celtics taken on the MAVs. So

276
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving will take on one of his former teams,

277
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics, And it's interesting to me, right, I

278
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: give Kyrie credit, Jeff, where he seems to have mature

279
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: quite a bit. Yeah, because it's just a couple of

280
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: years ago that Kyrie was doing some wild stuff. Yeah,

281
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: it was burning sage around the Brooklyn Nets court and

282
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: there were there are a lot of things going on, right.

283
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: He refused to get vaccinated, so he missed most of

284
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: that season. Wasn't able to play home home games for

285
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets.

286
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 3: That was a big deal.

287
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: What did insane? What insanes?

288
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 7: Like?

289
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 4: Can you imagine like thirty years I being like, yeah,

290
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: they got he just he only played away games because

291
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 4: it like what what what?

292
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: That's right?

293
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: And he was also suspended eight games in the twenty

294
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: twenty two to twenty three season. He posted a link

295
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: on social media to a documentary it had anti Semitic material.

296
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and.

297
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: So Kyrie he lost his Nike shoe deal. Like, think

298
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: about that, Jeff. He was suspended for eight games and

299
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: lost his Nike shoe deal.

300
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: You want to talk about like.

301
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: A progressive, open minded company, that's Nike, and they're like,

302
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: let's get rid of this freaking guy. It's too much

303
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: over here. So I give Kyrie credit that he has matured.

304
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: But the reason I bring this up, Jeff is because

305
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: Kyrie has done a magnificent job.

306
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: His team is in the finals.

307
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: And sometimes there's a tendency to look back on those

308
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: times and it's like, did we make something out of nothing?

309
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: Were we overreacting? It's like, no, we were not overreacting.

310
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: He was a complete idiot with some of the things

311
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: that he said, did posted, and he's matured. I give

312
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: him credit for that, but let's not twist it into

313
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: something it wasn't back then. He was an idiot back

314
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: then and he's grown from that.

315
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: That's a good thing.

316
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: He certainly has matured. And sometimes maturity is knowing when

317
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: to share your opinions and when not to. And you know,

318
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 4: he might believe the things that he talked about two

319
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 4: three years ago, but he's not telling us. And some

320
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 4: of the maturing is understanding your audience and your time

321
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 4: and place to say certain things. And I think he

322
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 4: has not learned as less might be too harsh, but

323
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 4: he certainly is mature enough to make it to where

324
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: you know he's going to be. I think a member

325
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 4: of a championship winning team and a member who is important. Right,

326
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 4: he's one of the two guys that is allowed to

327
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 4: close out the game against Boston every night. So I mean,

328
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 4: not only has he sort of rehabbed his image, And

329
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: that happens in sports when you play well, and people

330
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 4: might say, well, how do you forgive and forget and

331
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 4: all of this. I'm not sure you forget, Brian, But

332
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: just like with everything in sportsman winning sort of cures

333
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 4: all right. You know, he made comments I'm Jewish. There

334
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 4: are things that you know, the leak you talked about,

335
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: and the things he might believe and I don't agree

336
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 4: with obviously, and but I try to. I don't know,

337
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 4: sometimes gear forgiveness, but sometimes he just hasn't mentioned those things,

338
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 4: hasn't talked about it. But you forget about those things,

339
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: or you give someone a little bit more grace when

340
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 4: they mature in winning. Right, Like watching him play, it's enjoyable,

341
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 4: it's fun to watch him play. It's a basketball player,

342
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 4: plaus well, then have games like those things sort of

343
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 4: you know, you might forget comments people make. I'm not

344
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: saying it's right or wrong, Brian. I certainly have forgotten

345
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 4: things he said because I like watching him play basketball.

346
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 4: Maybe that's how he justified in our own brains, right,

347
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: But that's sort of the way I look at this

348
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: sometimes where winning sort of rehabilitates you. And he's on

349
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 4: the verge of another championship, of being part of a

350
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: big part of that championship right where he's sort of

351
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 4: won b to one A which he was with Lebron.

352
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 4: Is they're winning. I think they're winning the championship and

353
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 4: and you know he will have been a big part

354
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: of that reason. Why No.

355
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: So a couple of things.

356
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: There's an iHeart newsletter that they it's like an email

357
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: blast and they'll include a couple of clips from Fox

358
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: Sports radio shows. And I listened to a clip from

359
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: the Dan Patrick Show and he was talking about Kyrie

360
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: Irving and the reaction when Kyrie was initially traded to

361
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: the Mavericks. Oh sure it's At the time, it was like,

362
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: is this even a good idea for Dallas? The reaction

363
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: was like, why would anybody trade for this dude who's

364
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 2: been so injured? Does he even want to play basketball?

365
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: Right now? Right? Like that was the question.

366
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: And now you look at the trade and it was

367
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: like Spencer Dinwitty, Dorian Finney Smith and a couple of

368
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: like a couple of draft picks. Look at Dallas now,

369
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 2: it's insane the turnaround. Think about this, Jeff. Last year

370
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: they didn't even make the play in. They were in

371
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: eleventh place in the West, and we're like, this is

372
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 2: a disaster. And now here they are in the finals

373
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: and you think they're gonna win the whole thing.

374
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 3: Huh.

375
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: Well, this goes back to what we've talked about in

376
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: the whole playoffs is you have not only one closure,

377
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: but two on the Mavericks. And when you have Luca

378
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: and Tyrie, you both those guys. Boston just doesn't have

379
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 4: those guys. Tatum is not that guy. He's not And

380
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 4: if there is a minute left in the game, the

381
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 4: game is tied. I trust Luca and Tyrie over Tatum

382
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 4: and Brown, and a lot of these games are gonna

383
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 4: be close. You know, there was there was a lot

384
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 4: less defense I think played in the first three games

385
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 4: of the of the MAVs Wolf series, and we both

386
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 4: thought I think the under hit both the last I

387
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 4: know hit game four because I wagered on it. I

388
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 4: think game five it hit two because the mat and

389
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 4: Wolves couldn't score. But Dallas can play defense. They have

390
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 4: these two guys, man, that are just Look. The frustrating

391
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 4: part about Tatum right as you end up with with

392
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: you know, thirty three, you know, thirty three, ten and

393
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 4: eight at the end of the game, And when you

394
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: watch that game, you can't feel that impact. Right, Sometimes

395
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: when you watch Luca and Kyrie play, you feel their

396
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: impact that they go thirty three, ten to nine, you know,

397
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 4: you feel that. And when there are moments of sort

398
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 4: of panic, right when there are moments when things are

399
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: going off the rails for those for those teams, Luca

400
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 4: and Kyrie are the guys that they turn to to

401
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: make it happen for them. It Boston, how often does

402
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 4: Tatum just sort of stands forty feet from the basket

403
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 4: when the Pacers are making a fifteen.

404
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: To oh run, Yeah, I can't.

405
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 4: Again, I know Celtics fans are we're you know, we

406
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 4: went sixty four wins and we're twelve and two in

407
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: the postseason. How can you doubt us? It's like, well,

408
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 4: just give me the reasons why, Like this is why

409
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 4: you know you I never will discredit a team for

410
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 4: making it this far when they have to play the

411
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 4: games are supposed to play. But let's be real, the

412
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 4: Celtics have had an easier path than Dallas has had

413
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 4: They've They've done what they should do, which what good

414
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 4: teams do with that easy path. Absolutely no doubt about that.

415
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: But Dallas has been much more, has been tested in

416
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 4: a much bigger way, and Kyrie's been tested over the

417
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 4: years as well. Right, winning a championship. Remember the thing

418
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: about Luca too. We always talk about players in the NBA,

419
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 4: so are having to be twenty seven right to win

420
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 4: a championship? Well, he played in eighteen professionally like he's

421
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: been playing a lot of high leverage basketball for so

422
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 4: many years. So I really, I really think the Mavericks went.

423
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: I think it's probably a six game series. That means

424
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 4: they win game six in Dallas. I know that is it?

425
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 4: Is it two to three to two in the finals

426
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 4: or is it? Yeah? Okay, so that so that would

427
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 4: be Game six would be in Dallas. I think they win.

428
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 4: I think they win the championship. The role players for

429
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: Dallas I have been a little more reliable at some

430
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 4: points in this series. You know, Boston has a lot

431
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 4: of depth, but you know their games are White doesn't

432
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 4: shoot as well. Horford is he gonna be ready? You know,

433
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 4: Perzinga's coming back is a huge deal.

434
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: Brian don't don't, don't doubt my guy Al Horford here.

435
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 4: We've been having this joke text message Shane for a

436
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 4: long time.

437
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 7: Now.

438
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: I love Al Horford like.

439
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: I'll fade him. I'll be brought in Al Horford.

440
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: Don't get it and uh thin Ice you know, and

441
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: so you're ahead.

442
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 4: I very quick gambling thing. I have the Giants pitcher

443
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: Blake Snell under fourteen point five outs plus money plus

444
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 4: one twenty five. He's at fourteen outs right now.

445
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna need basis bases loaded. Gona need for

446
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: do go to do his thing over.

447
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 4: If he gets on base, this is probably his last batter.

448
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 4: Bases are loaded two outs in the fifth end. If

449
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 4: he gets through this batter, I lose if he gets

450
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 4: If he if it's bag gets on base, I'm probably

451
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: gonna win my wager. I love Gambley just like it

452
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 4: is what you feel, right, It's like it's small wager guys,

453
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 4: like it's not not gonna make a make a break

454
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 4: my day, my life. But now I'm glued to this

455
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: baseball I'm a Giants fan anyways, but I'm glued to

456
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 4: this baseball game hoping my actually my team loses.

457
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 1: Because the right.

458
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah there, I love what you just said. It's not

459
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: gonna make or break your life. I will act. I'll

460
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: give you an example. I had the Royals earlier today,

461
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 2: they're up three to one in the ninth inning. It

462
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,879

470
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: Giving the ball away, Jeff, you're gonna win your wager.

471
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: This is unbelievable.

472
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,159

477
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: something with his arm felt tightness.

478
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 3: And they just that's it.

479
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,399

Speaker 2: Oh he grabbed the groin area. I don't know if

00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: that's what's going on, but.

482
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh wow, what a what a hit, Brian,

484
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: Okay, can you can you sprinkle some of the fairy

485
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: dust my way, because I've got the Yankees to win.

486
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: I took him on a liveline when they're down three

487
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: to one, so I need the Yankees little comeback win

488
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 2: and I.

489
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: Took him earlier over four and a half runs.

490
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: Blake Snell has been freaking awful, right, and he did well,

491
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: but we're gonna need Yankees to score some runs over it.

492
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: I know it's against your favorite team, so I don't

493
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: know if you're willing to participate.

494
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 4: Well, now that Snell's out, I mean, go Giants.

495
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 7: You know.

496
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 4: It is this This series is Yankees Giant. Everyone is

497
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 4: a good reminder for baseball about the importance that stars

498
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 4: play in your lineup and on your team. Now I

499
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: go back on my head and win a championship without

500
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 4: a stars. I mean Texas last year didn't have.

501
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: I don't know, I.

502
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 4: Guess you're right, Yeah, you're right about that and the

503
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: end of the pitching. Last year they also had a

504
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame manager short What I think helps in

505
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 4: the postseason is like, the Giants don't have any of

506
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: those guys, right, they have good players, but they're not

507
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 4: And you see Aaron Judge hit a ball four or

508
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 4: five hundred feet the other day, Loon Soto crushed a

509
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: baseball earlier in this game, and then the Giants are

510
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 4: losing this game today. But it you just need those guys.

511
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 4: Like when they play the Dodgers, you see all these

512
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 4: superstars that Giants don't have those guys, and you're just

513
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 4: sort of watching a team that is just gonna be

514
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 4: you know, maybe make the playoffs and the walk oard

515
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 4: team I don't know, don't do anything the postseason. Yeah,

516
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 4: you see, it's a good example in sports about you know,

517
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 4: when you and super We talk about this with with

518
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 4: with the Mavericks. You need those superstars man to win

519
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: championships for a lot a lot of times. And God

520
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 4: remind you in this series about that.

521
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't disagree with you. It's funny because look.

522
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 2: Baseball is a lot more of an individualized team sport

523
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: where a guy like Mike Trout can just be unfreaking

524
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: believable and not even sniff one postseason series win in

525
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: his career. You know, like it takes pitching, it takes

526
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: a cast around you. But your point is valid, right.

527
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: I think we tend to look at it where it's like, yeah,

528
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 2: you might have a star or two, but that doesn't

529
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: guarantee you anything. And that's true. But when you look

530
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: at teams like your Giants who don't have that one superstar,

531
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: it swings the other way. So I'm with you on that. Hey,

532
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: we've got Manzi Bolanos, you talk about superstardom.

533
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: She's with us here this afternoon. What's going on? Monse Hi?

534
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 9: Guys, happy to be hanging now.

535
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 8: My allergies are killing me, so I hope you feel

536
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 8: better than I do.

537
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 3: Mazzi.

538
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: I only want updates about the Yankees scoring runs and

539
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: winning this game.

540
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 8: Okay, how about I tell you that the bases are loaded,

541
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 8: so that's good, you know, so they do. They have

542
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 8: the chance to bring in some runs and cut the

543
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 8: lead because they are down by two to the Giants.

544
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 8: As you guys were mentioning, it's the top of the

545
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 8: fifth innies. So I'll cross my fingers for you here,

546
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 8: and I hope that they get some runs in on

547
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 8: this inning with the bases loaded.

548
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz, that's the advice I have for you.

549
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 3: Got it? Got it all right?

550
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 8: The Mariners on the scoreboard against the Angels one zero,

551
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 8: bottom of the sixth inning is about to start in Seattle,

552
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 8: and things started well for the Dodgers.

553
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 9: With a leadoff home run by Mooki Betts. All we

554
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 9: got a hit for the Yankees.

555
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 8: Might it right into the corner, right into the right field?

556
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: Who's the base first? Was that? I can't remember who

557
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: got on first base? There's a let out over? Was

558
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: it Stanton?

559
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

560
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 8: It's like Yankees, can you give us their last name

561
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 8: please somewhere on their jersey please, because we don't know

562
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 8: their numbers like that?

563
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was Alex Verdugo.

564
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, Alex Verdugo ties the game.

565
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: That's right, three to three. Now there you go. All right,

566
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: it's San Francisco and the.

567
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 9: Yankees still have a man on second and third base.

568
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 9: There you go, all right.

569
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 10: Back to the Dodgers, things started well for them, leadoff

570
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 10: former by Mooky Bets and then won by Freddie Freeman

571
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 10: right after. So the Dodgers are beating the Rockies three

572
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 10: zero top at the fifth inning. Earlier today, the Braves

573

Speaker 10: gave the Rays the lead to beat the Orioles four

580
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 10: to three, but Gunner Henderson did hit his nineteenth homer

581
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 10: of the season, while the Tigers scored four runs in

582
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 10: the tenth inning and beat the Red Sox eight to four.

583
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 8: At the RBC Canadian Open, Robert McIntyre's still in the lead.

584
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 8: He is now fifteen under part overall. He is one

585
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 8: under through thirteen holes for this round, while Rory McElroy

586
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 8: is now two shots back along with Victor Perez. In

587
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 8: the WNBA, you guys were talking about the Caitlin Clark

588
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 8: fell by Chicago's Kennedy Carter. Well, the league didn't announce

589
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 8: that they're going to upgrade it from a common foul

590
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 8: to a flagrant foul penalty one. Carter will not be fined,

591
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 8: but the league is finding Angel Reese one thousand dollars

592
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 8: for failing to make yourself available to the media after

593
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 8: the game, and they're finding the Chicago organization five thousand

594
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 8: dollars for failing to comply with League media policies. And

595
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 8: there is one w NBA game that wrapped up for

596
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 8: the day, Connecticut Sun a perfect eight and oh to

597
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 8: start the season.

598
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 9: They just beat the dream sixty nine two fifty. Back

599
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 9: to you guys, good stuff, Matzi.

600
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: Likewise, yes, uh runs by the Yankees TI game three

601
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: to three, pretty thank Jeff.

602
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 4: So when the Johnny's played the Yankees, which doesn't happen

603
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: every year, I believe in sort of the first time

604
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 4: innerly play the Giants went Yankee Stadium. When inaly play happened,

605
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 4: Barry Bonds hit a ball about eight hundred feet in

606
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 4: Yankee Stadia. I don't you recall that it was it

607
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 4: It went to the upper deck and they estimated only

608
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: went They officially gave it three hundred and eighty five feet.

609
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 4: It's the it's in the upper deck and he go

610
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 4: to YouTube, guys and plug it in. It is. It's

611
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 4: one fartherest sor runs you're ever gonna see. I mean,

612
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 4: Barry Bonds again, crush this ball, which is you know,

613
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 4: it's you know, it's part of the fun of interleague

614
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: play is you get to these home runs you you're

615
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 4: not gonna get very often, right because the Giants didn't

616
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 4: go to the Yankee Stadium before an interaly play. Uh

617
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: and I guess probably back when they were playing in

618
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 4: New York. So he hit he hit this ball like

619
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 4: almost out of the stadium. It was incredible.

620
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: I made it to one San Francisco Giants game years ago.

621
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: You love this story, Jeff, because you're a degenerate gambler

622
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: just like me.

623
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: And I go to the game.

624
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: The Giants are host the Colorado Rockies, and there's a

625
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: random guy in the row behind me and he's talking

626
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: to his friend. He's like, oh, I love gambling on sports.

627
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm a big NBA gambler. I'm all over it.

628
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: And he's just, you know, waxing poetic about himself. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

629
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm big on Boveda.

630
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: I almost turned up around, like what kind of gambler

631
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 3: are you?

632
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: Oh with the sticker of the new place.

633
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: That was the new place?

634
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, wow beautiful. I love Thatveda. You're like, yeah,

635
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: I can't.

636
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what. Why didn't turn around, Like, are

637
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: you serious right now? Man? Come on.

638
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just one of those words that nobody has

639
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 5: said out loud in front of him, and you just

640
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 5: kind of go with it.

641
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 4: I guess I guess that's certainly fair that maybe he

642
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: never said it for anyone. But I'll just tell you this, man,

643
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: the people that randomly talk about sports gambling are pretty

644
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 4: bad at it. Like you like if you're just out

645
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 4: and someone's like, yeah, man, I sports gamble, like you

646
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 4: would know that crack gambles, Like how would.

647
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 3: You know that you would?

648
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 4: The people that I don't tell my friends, I'm like,

649
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: you know what I'm up today, guys. Someone asked me

650
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 4: we they're bringing bright up. I'm like, yeah, sure, A

651
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 4: gamble a lot. I might be like I'm watching this ring.

652
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 4: Like today we had a party at the house for

653
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: my daughter's softball team and there was like a put

654
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 4: on a random college baseball game. I was like, I

655
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 4: have the over in this game. I mean, I'm not

656
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 4: like I didn't tell anyone what it was. I'm so like,

657
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 4: I have the over. I hope a lot of run

658
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 4: scoring this game. Yeah. Like I mean people that are

659
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 4: just like in the middle of a football baseball state

660
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 4: and be like, yep, I'm big Bovada. Do you say

661
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 4: boveda big Boveda, Yeah, Boveda boveda gambler. You're like, yeah,

662
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 4: it's like it.

663
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: I don't think you're that much into it. By the way,

664
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: how did you?

665
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: Because Chris said something that made me think about this.

666
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: It's one of those words that you think it's pronounced

667
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: a certain way and then you might find out it's

668
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: pronounced differently. How do you pronounce like do you say

669
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: rye dell? You know, like the helmet brand. I was

670
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: watching NFL Network years ago, Jeff, because everybody, anytime I've

671
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 2: played grade school, high school football, everybody said rye dell.

672
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: And I saw a commercial on NFL Network and this

673
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: is how they pronounced it. Protect that's the official voiceover guy.

674
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: Of course he's pronouncing it right.

675
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 7: Like.

676
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 3: I was stunned.

677
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 5: I might have a story about my first time seeing

678
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 5: the word or dervs written down and trying to say it.

679
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 4: But that that's fair. It's friendships. It's like, that's fine. Wow, right,

680
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 4: listen to that.

681
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: Listen Riddell.

682
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 4: I was like, what, it's an eye though.

683
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've only heard people say right now there was

684
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: a big ry dell because that used to be right

685
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: on the front of your helmet.

686
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had bucket Yeah wow, right, Dell changed my world.

687
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: So maybe that's gonna be the same thing for that

688
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: guy at the San Francisco Giants game when he's he

689
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: hears a commercial it's like Bovada and he's like, whoa,

690
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: what I thought it was Boveda all this time? All right,

691
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 2: we got a lot to do coming up next, A

692
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 2: team has an outside the box idea that does make

693
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: a lot of sense when you stop and think about it.

694
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: We'll share it with you next. He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian.

695
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: Now stay with us right here on Fox Sports Radio.

696
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 2: It is Fox Sports Radio. He's Jeff Schwartz, I'm Brian.

697
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 7: No.

698
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 3: So the Chiefs Chiefs are thinking outside the box over here, Jeff,

699
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 3: I like it.

700
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: So with the new kickoff rules where it basically penalizes

701
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: you if you are kicking the ball into the end zone, right,

702
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: if it's a touchback, that's not what you want as

703
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: the kicking team. So Dave Tobe, the special teams coach

704
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, he's thinking of saying, you know what,

705
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: instead of having Harrison Butker, who is an outstanding touchback

706
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 2: kickoff guy, right, he can boot him through the end zone,

707
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 2: no problem. That's not good anymore. The rules have changed,

708
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 2: so he's thinking about maybe having his safety Justin Reid

709
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: Yea be the kickoff guy where it gives him another

710
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 2: tackler on the field. It makes a lot of sense.

711
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: I want to know if they're going to do it

712
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: or many other teams start doing it like that.

713
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 4: So Justin Reid is their backup kicker, and he is

714
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 4: kicked off for them. He has actually made an extra

715
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 4: point for them. So here is one character to this

716
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 4: is the NFL rule. It's different than assent to the

717
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 4: XFL role, which is where this came from. So Sam Schwarztein,

718
00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 4: who works for Amazon now, was a former center Stanford

719
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: was Andrew Luck center at Stanford, and he created the

720
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 4: rules for the XFL. He tweeted out at schwartz Stein's

721
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 4: the XFL kicker had no restrictions to where they can

722
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 4: run to the NFL kicker. Kicker in the NFL cannot

723
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 4: cross the fifty yard line till the ball is caught.

724
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 4: So that means that they're really not going to be

725
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 4: part of a lot of tackles unless they're as they

726
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 4: are now, sort of the last line of defense, right,

727
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 4: So maybe that would eliminate the need to again to

728
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 4: have to get rid of but Ker to make those kicks.

729
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 4: So now you can argue that if the kicker is

730
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 4: you know, at the fifty and you want someone that

731
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 4: can immediately go run and tackle someone, yeah you will

732
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 4: still keep you still keep reading there. But this is guys,

733
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 4: this is why the Chiefs are so good because they

734
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 4: think of everything. They're they're outside the box organization. Nothing

735
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: is off limits as an idea to Andy Reid, and

736
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: we hear the way he talks about I mean, look,

737
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 4: since I feel like coaches and belliji interviews, but he

738
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 4: gave an interview to I think it was the Kelsey

739
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: Brothers where he mentioned that, you know, he stole a

740
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 4: play from like a high school janet or something right

741
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 4: or like someone you know, like someone drew a play

742
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 4: for him and he used it. Okay, But the fact

743
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 4: is that is who Indy Reid is. When I was

744
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 4: with the Chief of twenty thirteen, he had hired Chris Alt,

745
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 4: the former Nevada coach, to be like a special assistant

746
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: sort of consultant, because he wanted to learn how to

747
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 4: run some of that zone read that the Nevada.

748
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 3: Was doing with it was what was it was Colleda

749
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 3: k like the pistol he wanted.

750
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, the pistol zone read essentially right. It was more

751
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 4: of a front side read than a backside read. And

752
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 4: he has people on staff that are just there to study,

753
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 4: you know, fine plays obviously famously used to play in

754
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl from like the nineteen forty Rose Bowl.

755
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 4: They were fined every way to get better. And this

756
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 4: just shows you when when Dave Tobe there especially Guy Corner,

757
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 4: was talking about how they just study everything and they're

758
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 4: prepared for all these moments better than other teams are.

759
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 4: And if it includes Justin Reid kicking off, and it

760
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 4: will include Justin kicking off, I know people's minds, you know,

761
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 4: turn to the Harrison Bucker stuff and did nothing to

762
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 4: do with Harrison Bucker's speech at the commencement speech. No,

763
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 4: it's not that the Chiefs don't care that they they're

764
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 4: here to win championships. So I thought that was the

765
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 4: unique part about it is that they were willing to

766
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 4: talk about it and be open about their ideas and

767
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 4: the way that they view that that new play.

768
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it makes sense, and it's kind of weird

769
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: where it's a lot like a free throw in the NBA, right, Like,

770
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: if you're the guy taking the free throw, you can't

771
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: cross the free throw line until the ball hits the rim.

772
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: So it's that kind that concept.

773
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: When it comes to Woever's kicking off, you can't cross

774
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: the fifty until the ball is picked up. Huh, that's interesting.

775
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: I don't I don't love that rule, but I get it.

776
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 2: And even if you I'd rather have Justin Reid as

777
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 2: the last line of defense than Harrison Butker so they

778
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 2: still might do it. But I love to your point

779
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 2: that they're just even thinking about this, right, They're thinking

780
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 2: about every little thing and not leaving anything that could

781
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 2: give you a possible advantage. They're not leaving that on

782
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 2: the the cutting room floor, right, They're gonna use everything.

783
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 4: Again, do you use every advantage they can? So, so

784
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 4: the Chiefs do. I like, by the way, Travis Kelsey's

785
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 4: speech at at the podium and at the Whitehouse of

786
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 4: their day, it was very good, It was good appropriate,

787
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 4: it was very absolutely all right.

788
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: Coming up next, it's an experiment that makes sense, But

789
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 2: is it gonna work?

790
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 3: All right?

791
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: So an NFL team they are doing a little experiment

792
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: over here, makes some sense. Is it gonna work some

793
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: details on the way. We're broadcasting live from the tire

800
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: you're freaking giants.

801
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 3: What the hell? Nice little two run knock? Goodness? You

Speaker 3: with this? Jeff?

804
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that my mediocre baseball team is not helping

805
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 4: you out today.

806
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, so annoying. I'm just I'm in an

807
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 2: annoyed state of gambling here today. When a couple that

808
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 2: come from behind wins went against me earlier today.

809
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 3: Three of them.

810
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 2: Can you believe that three come from behind wins messed

811
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 2: up different bets from me.

812
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 3: That's not good.

813
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 4: I'm very sorry, Brian. I have look baseball, it is

814
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 4: just miserable to bet on it really is. It is,

815
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 4: and there's nothing you can do about it. It just

816
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 4: absolutely sucks.

817
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 2: The Rays came back on the Orioles. The Diamondbacks came

818
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 2: back on the Mets. The Royals came back on the

819
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: pod race. I lost every one of those, and now

820
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: I need the He's to come back on the Giants,

821
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 2: and they're like, why would we do that?

822
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: Though?

823
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: Why why would we do that? So yeah, that's it's annoying.

824
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 2: The peak of annoyance right there. But let's get to

825
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: the Bills here, Jeff, enough about my annoyances. The Bills

826
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 2: they have signed Gable Steveson. So Gable Steveson. He's an

827
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: Olympic gold medalist in wrestling. He's a two time NCAA

828
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 2: wrestling champ. He has no prior football experience. According to ESPN,

829
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: he put on cleats for the first time when he

830
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 2: worked out for the Bills recently, twenty four years old,

831
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: five eleven to sixty six, listed as a defensive tackle.

832
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: You're gonna need to bump that weight up here, Jeff,

833
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: five eleven two sixty six.

834
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 3: You played in the trenches. What do you think about

835
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: this experience?

836
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 4: Oh? I love five eleven two sixty six, So splat, No, Look,

837
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 4: this is a byproduct of allowing practice squads to be expanded, right,

838
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 4: you have, I believe sixty twelve to sixteen practice squad

839
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 4: player used to be eight, right, and so now you

840
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 4: can give yourself the opportunity to have a player like

841
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 4: this get through training camp, raise your your ninetieth guy

842
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 4: in the roster, and allows you time to develop. You know,

843
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 4: previously you know you're not keeping a developmental former wrestler

844
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 4: on your practice squad. You're just not. You don't enough

845
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 4: to got to do that. But but now you do.

846
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 4: And you know, maybe it pants out, maybe doesn't. But

847
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 4: I like that outside the box thinking. Look very famously,

848
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 4: Jordan Malatta, the Eagles left tackle right never played football,

849
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 4: so Eagles drafted him so like and he's you know,

850
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 4: it's Pro Bowl, all Pro caliber left tackle now, So

851
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 4: that's not That's not always the case, right, Not every

852
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 4: every story is like that. But I like that they're

853
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 4: being outside the box. And you can afford to do

854
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 4: this now with the way the practice schedules line up.

855
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the experiment. Experiment. I don't know that

856
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna work. He's got to add a lot of pounds,

857
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 2: which he can do. But five eleven, two sixty six,

858
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 2: just to give you an idea, some of the defensive

859
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 2: tackles on the Bills right now, Daikon Jones. He's listed

860
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 2: at three hundred and twenty pounds is what Daikwon Jones

861
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: is listed at.

862
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 3: So there's that we're gonna have to add some lb.

863
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:32,479
Speaker 4: He's gonna have to play full back, probably line back

864
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 4: or ish. Even it's five eleven, I mean, that's Aaron Donald,

865
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 4: but that Aaron Donald is the Free Show, so you

866
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 4: can't ever model anything off Aaron Donald.

867
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at Uh, this is weird. I don't

868
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: know why they have height listed this way on the

869
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: NFL dot com for the Bill's website.

870
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 4: I thought he was six ' one. It's five eleven. Huh.

871
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

872
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 2: The wrestler Steve said, yeah, he's listed at five eleven,

873
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: but twenty four years old was an amazing wrestler. He

874
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 2: was eighty five and two at the University of Minnesota,

875
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 2: and those two losses were when he was a freshman,

876
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: two time heavyweight champion right in college, right two time

877
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 2: NCAA wrestling champ, and one of those years was knocked out.

878
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 2: He was number one, but it was a COVID year,

879
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: so he might be a three time wrestling champ. So

880
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 2: he's got he's got some tools to work with. But man,

881
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 2: you gotta add some pounds. You're just gonna get shoved around.

882
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 2: I don't care how savvy or quick you are. That's

883
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 2: just too light.

884
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 4: So I do think again, they're gonna, you know, they'll,

885
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 4: they'll finally put weight on it. But I mean, do

886
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 4: you want Look, this is maybe full offensive defensive lineman

887
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 4: right now, but like if you're just sort of starting

888
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 4: from scratch, it's not the position. It's a good spot,

889
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 4: good position to play if you starting from scratch. So

890
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 4: that makes sense to put him there, and you know

891
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 4: he's not he's not benef my offensive line. Obviously, he's

892
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 4: probably not quick enough to be lined back. You'll get

893
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 4: full back, but the Bills don't really use fullback on

894
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 4: their offense. And maybe they are now, but look, you

895
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 4: bring them in the camp and see what happens. Man,

896
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 4: Why not?

897
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: Right not? Yeah, sure, you're taking a flyer on the guy.

898
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 3: If it doesn't work out, doesn't cost you hardly anything.

899
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: So why not it doesn't?

900
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

901
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: It made me think of we talked about this, remember

902
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: Austin Rivers where he said I can take thirty players

903
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: right now in the NBA and throw them in the NFL.

904
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 2: It just made me think, I don't know if he

905
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 2: was like, see here we go, no previous experience, no

906
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: cleats that he's in the NFL, getting a shut.

907
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 4: I was gonna tweet this out, but I didn't because

908
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 4: I just didn't want the dummies to reply to me.

909
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 4: Brian is I watched PJ. Washington player for the Mavericks.

910
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 4: I could do what PJ. Washington doesn't offense.

911
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 3: Wow.

912
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could sit in the corner and have them

913
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 4: throw me the basketball ten a couple threes. Now, of

914
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 4: course he's better than that. Guys don't come at me.

915
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 4: He drives the lane. He plays defense, but like half

916
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 4: of his possession he just stand in the corner. I

917
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 4: could absolutely stand in the corner, Brian and shoot a

918
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 4: three pointer.

919
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 3: It's the Celtics offense that we've talked about, right, except

920
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 3: they do that toten.

921
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 4: The problem is the difference is Luca and Kyrie are

922
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 4: like getting into the lane and then throwing out to PJ.

923
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 4: Washington versus Celtics are five out. Oh my god, you

924
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like with Tatum fifty feet from

925
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 4: the basket. No, I could definitely PJ. Washington and I

926
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 4: could stand in the corner. Now, couldn't play a defense

927
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 4: I could do. I could. I would be a I

928
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 4: could be a heck of a boxer outer, Brian, you

929
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 4: an't gonna find out.

930
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, better than.

931
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 4: Me at boxing out In high school from Los Angeles.

932
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 4: I played in high school basketball in Los Angeles. We

933
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 4: had in our league. It's just oddly enough Westchester High

934
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 4: School that they were number one in the country for

935
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 4: a long large part of my high school career. To

936
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 4: be is by seventy they'd seven guys go Division one

937
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 4: off one team and they just smoked us. So they

938
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 4: had Trevor Riza was on their team like they were,

939
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 4: they were big. I've played in tournaments, tournament as a kid, like,

940
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 4: played some seven footers before. You know, the box out

941
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 4: doesn't It doesn't really help when you play guys like that. Yeah.

942
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 4: I learned pretty quickly that when you play a team

943
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 4: like Westchester and guy like Trevor Reza or you, uh,

944
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 4: you play a seven footer in a in a in

945
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 4: a big time tournament in Vegas. Yeah, you know what,

946
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 4: being a good box roder doesn't. It doesn't do much

947
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 4: for you.

948
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 7: Yeah.

949
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 2: It's one of those where you're like it's over the

950
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 2: back and they're like, I'm not making any contact with you.

951
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 3: I can do this.

952
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 2: I can just reach over the top of you and

953
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: get the rebound and it's totally fine.

954
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 4: But correct.

955
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how about this. You've got Bill's head coach,

956
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott. He's a two time national high school wrestling champion,

957
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: so maybe it's he loves the wrestling. So maybe with

958
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 2: Gable Stevens Steveson. Now I didn't know this either. I

959
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: read up on the dude. He was named after.

960
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 3: The the the legendary Iowa coach in Gable, so that's.

961
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 2: Where he got his name. Like, think about that. He

962
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: went to Minnesota like wrestlings in his freaking blood. He's

963
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 2: he's named after a wrestler.

964
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 3: But we'll see what happens in football.

965
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 4: It would be fun to watch up when they when

966
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 4: they eliminate the preseason though, and all the officers and

967
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 4: workouts and stuff. These stories will be hard to come by, Brian,

968
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 4: because you just don't have You won't to have any

969
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 4: time for this for these guys to get better that

970
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 4: that story was earlier this week. Correct the moment. Okay,

971
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 4: we have we got time.

972
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, we got time.

973
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 4: I'm checking my clock because I'm gonna go I'm gonna

974
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 4: it's gonna be long.

975
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 3: Let you know, Okay, you're all about clock integrity. The

976
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 3: suits just saluted you with that, Jeff.

977
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 4: So, the report came out early this week that the

978
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 4: NFL PA was looking at adjusting the off season schedule.

979
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 4: So as it currently stands right now, the off season

980
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 4: schedule is like the easiest thing that we do is

981
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 4: professional football players. It is quote voluntary. It's not always right.

982
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 4: It's voluntary. Just like your bosses, Hey, it's voluntary to

983
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 4: come in this day. You're like, he kind of wants

984
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 4: me to come in, right. So it's about nine weeks

985
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 4: plus a three day mini camp, okay, And it is

986
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 4: four to six hours a day, and it's three to

987
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 4: four days a week. It's not the weekends. It's you know,

988
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 4: Monday through Thursday, Tuesday through Thursday. That's the schedule. And

989
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 4: during that time it's a you know, casual time to

990
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 4: do some team bonding, some camaraderie, build up a little

991
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 4: bit of connectivity with your teammates. It's a good time

992
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 4: to learn the playbook without any stress of the regular

993
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 4: season of training camp and the NFL players have tried

994
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 4: for years to get rid of the off season program.

995
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 4: I don't know why, because again it's just a it's

996
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 4: a fun time to be through teammates in the spring,

997
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 4: brind without any stresses of training camp. Well, the regular season.

998
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 4: It's when a lot of the you know, the chemistry

999
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 4: things that we talk about happen in the ausest of program.

1000
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 4: It used to start, by the way, in March, mid March,

1001
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 4: I go all the way through the basically June, and

1002
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 4: it was you know, there were no time on it.

1003
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 4: So we've certainly cut back a lot on the Officerson

1004
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 4: program over the years because NFL players again don't seem

1005
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 4: to like it. And when they have these negotiations with

1006
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 4: owners and they say to the owners, hey, we don't

1007
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 4: want to do offseason workouts. Brian, what do the owners

1008
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 4: state to them? You think.

1009
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 2: The ownership to say that they don't want to do

1010
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 2: these offseason workouts. Yeah, I don't know if ownership would care.

1011
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 4: They don't care, Brian. They care zero percent. They care

1012
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 4: if you show up on Sunday for Week one. They

1013
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 4: make zero dollars off the office and program r zero dollars.

1014
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 4: They do not care one bit if the players want

1015
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 4: to give it up. So every CBA. We give up

1016
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 4: less and less officers and program. And I've seen this

1017
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 4: get zero return for it. We don't get like an

1018
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 4: extra percent of the salary cap. We get nothing. And the

1019
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 4: owners will gladly trade, will gladly trade it. They don't care.

1020
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 4: It has nothing to do with them, you know what

1021
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 4: I mean. In fact, they'll save money not to pay

1022
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 4: us lessa OTAs won't get paid very much, which is

1023
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 4: which is fine, but guys have workout bonuses and whatnot.

1024
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 4: So the report comes out that players want to eliminate

1025
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 4: the officing program in favor of a ramp up period

1026
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 4: before training camp that will begin in mid June or

1027
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 4: early July. And players say, like they did during COVID, Okay, well, Brian,

1028
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 4: during COVID, they did the ramp up period at the

1029
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 4: end of July when training camp would normally start. In

1030
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 4: this new program, they would do the ramp up period

1031
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 4: in mid June. So NFL players who again off January first,

1032
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 4: let's say, right, last game of the season, come back

1033
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 4: April twentieth, work for nine weeks, go back home for

1034
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 4: the summer, come back for training camp. NFL players now

1035
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 4: apparently want to start June fifteenth, and go all the

1036
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 4: way through January first, and you're trading sort of this

1037
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 4: stress free environment for more training camp or training camp.

1038
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 4: You're in a hotel, you have you're there from you know,

1039
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 4: seven to ten o'clock at night. Like, I don't understand

1040
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 4: why players in the simplest form would want to trade

1041
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 4: stress free workouts for high stress workouts. Okay, when you

1042
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 4: already have you already have training camp coming up, and

1043
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 4: then Brian, you're gonna get there in their June fifteenth

1044
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 4: and you're thenk it's now going to be July thirty first,

1045
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 4: you will have been in training camp for six weeks,

1046
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 4: you will not have hit anyone in practice yet, and

1047
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 4: you still have three weeks to your first preseason game.

1048
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 4: I mean it just from practically speaking, it's a terrible idea,

1049
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 4: and it's all because the NFLPA wants to have a

1050
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 4: win with its players, because they don't win anything else.

1051
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 4: They don't win. Negotiations w hit the owners very off,

1052
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 4: and they want to hold this up and say, look, look, players,

1053
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 4: we won you guys know more often than workouts. And

1054
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 4: it was also framed around the idea that the majority

1055
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 4: of NFL players agree with this. The players I've talked

1056
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 4: to and the people that I know that have talked

1057
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 4: to players, I've heard zero players that want this. So

1058
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 4: I don't know where this is at. I don't know

1059
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 4: why this is something that the NFL players feel they need. Again.

1060
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 4: I don't think there's something they need, and it seems

1061
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 4: foolish to give this up for nothing in return. If

1062
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 4: you're giving this up for eighteen games, which is I

1063
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 4: think certainly gonna happen pretty soon, is that a fair trade?

1064
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 3: Is it a fair trade?

1065
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 4: No? Offson workouts for another whole freaking game week. Now,

1066
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 4: If you're telling me that you're gonna get again another

1067
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 4: two percent of the salary cap for adding games, great,

1068
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 4: that's how it should work. But if you're gonna get

1069
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 4: the same percent of the salary cap for eighteen games

1070
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 4: and now you have to do offiction program, congratulations, guys.

1071
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 4: What a negotiation you guys? Did you know?

1072
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: It?

1073
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 4: Just it frustrates the heck out of me, Brian, because

1074
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 4: I feel like players they don't think about all the

1075
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 4: things that all this sort of how this all affects

1076
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,919
Speaker 4: them in the long run, right, it's very short term,

1077
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 4: which I get it. Look, I was a player, I

1078
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 4: understand that. The last part about this too, Brian. I

1079
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 4: know you don't have kids, so you know you you

1080
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 4: don't follow really a schedule that revolves around your kids'

1081
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 4: school right, right, And you know a lot of times

1082
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 4: now for players to have kids, right, you know, you're

1083
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 4: you're in the offices in program while your kids are

1084
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 4: in school, and it sort of ends the same time

1085
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 4: that your kids school ends, right for the school year,

1086
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 4: and so then the summer months can be spent your

1087
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 4: training obviously, but you know, a family vacation right, time

1088
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 4: with the wife and kids and whatnot. And it's it's

1089
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 4: important because you know, from September through January you're working.

1090
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 4: From you know, then again from April May June you're working,

1091
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 4: and so having that time with the family I think

1092
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 4: is really important and your wife needs need that, right,

1093
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 4: Your wife needs a little bit of a break from

1094
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 4: probably watching the kids all the time for you to

1095
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 4: be home and take them on trips and play time

1096
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 4: with your kids. Well, if you go back June fifteenth,

1097
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 4: you ain't doing that anymore.

1098
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 3: I know, the family part of it is a big deal.

1099
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 4: And and also you know not that no one negotiates

1100
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 4: for the coaches and This is not a thing on

1101
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 4: the coaches. But you know, July is a month off

1102
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 4: for the coaches, right. They don't have the time we

1103
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 4: have off. They go from again, we're talking about NFL terms.

1104
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 4: People say, well, I don't get it. Two weeks off.

1105
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 4: We're not talking about your job. Okay, I'm talking about

1106
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 4: NFL job. You know, coaches don't get any break, right.

1107
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 4: They go right from the season. They have to review

1108
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 4: their players and their film to then draft stuff and

1109
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 4: OTAs and everything like that, and July is time for

1110
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 4: them too. I had an offensive line coach on a team, Brian.

1111
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 4: He had his keys in his pocket on the final

1112
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 4: OTA practice and went to his car after practice and

1113
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 4: drove to Montana and said and said, if you need me,

1114
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 4: here's a number of call me. I'll talk to you

1115
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 4: when you get back for training camp. That's right, And

1116
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 4: again we're professionals. I don't even talk to my off

1117
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 4: it's a line coach every day, so I didn't. I

1118
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 4: didn't see him again until training camp started. Like it's

1119
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 4: time for coaches to get away too. And I think

1120
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 4: that this is not looked. It's just why, what is

1121
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 4: the if the purpose is to get a win? Quote unquote, Win,

1122
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 4: I just what wain are we getting? Man?

1123
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, yeah, I hear you.

1124
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 2: Man, it's a hollow w if this is what ends

1125
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: up being the case, because yeah, you laid it out.

1126
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 3: I get it.

1127
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 4: Don't like it.

1128
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 3: I don't.

1129
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 4: I am pro our prior association. I think they try

1130
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 4: the best that they can, but I think it's it's

1131
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 4: it's a difficult job because we have seventy hundred players

1132
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 4: and seventeen hundred opinions, and it's hard to get everyone

1133
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 4: the same page. But I really do feel passionately that

1134
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 4: we do not we do not sort of trade things

1135
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 4: well enough in the negotiation.

1136
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 2: If this was like a baseball card trade like you got,

1137
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 2: Let's put it in modern terms, like like the NFL

1138
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 2: got an Aaron Judge rookie card, you know, and the

1139
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 2: NFLPA is getting like a couple of utility infielders, and like, eh,

1140
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 2: look at what we did, Look at what we pulled

1141
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 2: off over here, and you're like, yeah, wow, impressive. Let's

Speaker 3: Welcome in Adam.

1151
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 2: So, Jeff and I were just talking about this the NFLPA.

1152
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 2: They are looking to remove spring OTAs in favor of

1153
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 2: an extended training camp.

1154
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 3: Jeff is passionate against this.

1155
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on, oh, this move by the NFLPA.

1156
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 11: So, look, I could go back heavy reporting in the

1157
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 11: twenty eleven CBA negotiation talking to clubs NFL about it,

1158
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 11: and I can just tell you that the owners were

1159
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 11: so happy when the players like one of the givebacks

1160
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 11: they want is they wanted to light off season. They're like, Okay, yeah,

1161
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 11: what do we need to sign good? We want that

1162
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 11: good good doesn't cost us money. Then that's just summarizing

1163
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 11: the information I got. Look, I don't think it's good.

1164
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 11: Coaches hate it, and to be honest with you, they

1165
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 11: think it's awful for player development. Gms don't like it,

1166
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 11: and I'm gonna be interested to see, you know. I

1167
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 11: know I've talked to coaches about it, right, and they're like, no,

1168
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 11: I don't want this, but I know I don't have

1169
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 11: a say in it for the most part. Well, the

1170
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 11: gms do that. I mean they deal with the owner.

1171
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 11: Of course, TEA presidents do, but it's really not their call.

1172
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 11: But you know, overall, it's it's just the way of

1173
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 11: the world. Today's player once a later offseason, they don't

1174
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 11: want to be bothered with stuff. I've talked to players

1175
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 11: about it as well, particularly in the last couple of years.

1176
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 11: They just want to be able to have a real

1177
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 11: off season where they're.

1178
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 3: Not talking football all the time. Jeff could obviously, let's

1179
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 3: talk about.

1180
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 11: It more as a former player, but that is one

1181
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 11: thing that I find consistent going back to the eleven CBA, which,

1182
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 11: by the way, those negotiations were brutal. They were very

1183
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 11: negative and nasty. I'm talking to both sides. But the

1184
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 11: one thing, the one big thing that came out of

1185
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 11: the eleven CBA those negotiations with turn of the player

1186
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 11: side was they wanted less football in the off season.

1187
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 11: I'm not saying I'm not taking a side here. That

1188
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 11: was the one thing. And then clearly the NFLPA is

1189
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 11: looking at that again.

1190
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 4: Adam, you know this the twenty eleven CBA, we went

1191
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 4: from working you know, coming in March fifteenth and spend

1192
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 4: tenless hours there. I hear you, man, I cut off

1193
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 4: six weeks and like half of the time. Your your

1194
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 4: first point is what I just said to Brian, is

1195
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 4: that we keep trading away to the Oxton program for

1196
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 4: what What are we getting in return for trading our time?

1197
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 4: Because the nfls will always give us this time off.

1198
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 4: They don't care. They make money about this, so they

1199
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 4: will continue to do. What are we getting in return?

1200
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 4: Are we getting a percent for the you know, more

1201
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 4: for the for the eighteen game schedule. No, We're gonna

1202
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 4: get any more money for that. So I'm just tired

1203
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 4: of the players trading without the OST program. That is

1204
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 4: super easy. It's super easy.

1205
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 3: It's fun.

1206
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 4: It's with your teammates, it's like, you know, no pads

1207
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 4: are on. It's a good time to learn and camaraderie. Man.

1208
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 4: And so from what when I've heard from players, Adam

1209
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 4: is they don't know where this majority of players BS

1210
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 4: came from. Because the players I've talked to again. They're

1211
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 4: older players. They don't want this new schedule. So I

1212
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 4: don't know where this is coming from.

1213
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 11: Man, uh, I'm not sure, but I could tell you

1214
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 11: that I've talked to probably I don't know, nine or

1215
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:57,959
Speaker 11: ten coaches about this.

1216
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 3: The last week.

1217
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 11: Well, they don't want to say to say it has

1218
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 11: not gone over Well, look it didn't go over well

1219
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 11: the last time in eleven Cbay, they're more willing to understand.

1220
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 3: Okay, look, if we have to adust more world, just more.

1221
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 3: But let me ask you this, Jeff, as a former.

1222
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 11: Player, I kind of well, I don't know you that well,

1223
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 11: so I don't want to speak for you, but I can.

1224
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 11: I'm interest to see how you're gonna react to this.

1225
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 11: Would you rather have a longer training camp because this

1226
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 11: is where.

1227
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 3: It's gonna go?

1228
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 11: Answer is no, No, say that's got you?

1229
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 3: What you let me say it?

1230
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 4: Well, madam good? Why would you? Why would you want

1231
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 4: to come in June fifteenth and work like again for

1232
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 4: months in a row without a Breakty, it'll be in

1233
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 4: this it look in the pros News schedule. If we're

1234
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 4: assuming it's eighteen games and two preseason games. Okay, yes,

1235
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 4: you go back June fifteenth, it's now July thirty. First,

1236
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 4: you haven't hit a soul in training camp because you

1237
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,439
Speaker 4: barely have hit anyone, right, because you're not bad yet,

1238
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 4: and your first preseason game is not till August twentieth, still,

1239
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 4: and you've been there six weeks already. This like again, like,

1240
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 4: the players just don't think any of this out, man,

1241
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 4: They just they never do. It is not a good idea,

1242
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 4: And I'm curious if this actually ends up happening. I

1243
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 4: think it will because the NFLPA wants wins and this

1244
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 4: is considered a win for them. But again, I don't

1245
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 4: look the last CBA was ratified about like fifty votes. Man,

1246
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 4: Like players are not in agreement with a lot of

1247
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 4: what the PA has been doing.

1248
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 11: Well, I wish we had more time because I would

1249
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 11: like to know your your thoughts on the new director.

1250
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 4: I didn't know how about this. I didn't know we

1251
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 4: had a new PA president. Well, I know Trenor was

1252
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 4: a player, right, but like like a new d Smith,

1253
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 4: they didn't announce it. No one told us. They just

1254
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 4: voted in, like got a new person. I didn't know it.

1255
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 4: I had no idea, I really no idea.

1256
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 11: We can talk some of it maybe one day, you know,

1257
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 11: I wish uh, I wish I came out to LA

1258
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 11: or we could be together for to do it. Yeah,

1259
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,959
Speaker 11: just taking an hour or an hour half about Jeff

1260
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 11: and I and our stories of dealing with the NFL

1261
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 11: and NFLPA.

1262
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 3: I don't I call.

1263
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 11: Stuff down the middle, but I could just give you

1264
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 11: some of the nonsense that I have to deal with

1265
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 11: in my career that stuff. You go, this didn't happen.

1266
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 11: I go, No, it did happen. Yeah, I like it's

1267
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 11: the lack of communication and direction. The lack of communication

1268
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 11: is just something that I've I've it's just it's just ridiculous.

1269
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 11: But to move this forward, what's going to happen if

1270
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,919
Speaker 11: this passes? And I agree that that this the fact

1271
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 11: that PA is bringing this, it should pass. But there's

1272
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 11: gonna have to be a break from and if this

1273
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 11: starts in twenty twenty five, they'll have to be a

1274
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 11: break between training camp and whatever this like mini offseason

1275
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 11: is going to be. It's gonna have to be a

1276
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 11: break because Jeff, as you say, you're not gonna go

1277
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 11: straight without a break.

1278
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 3: From June fifteenth through January like that. It's not gonna happen.

1279
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 2: That's way too long, right there, no doubt it's Adam

1280
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 2: Kaplan with us FSR NFL insider. Let me throw something

1281
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 2: non nflpa.

1282
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 3: At you, Adam. How about a couple of wide receivers.

1283
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 2: They both got extensions this week, Nico Collins with the Texans,

1284
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: Jayleen Waddle with the Dolphins. You look at both of

1285
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 2: them going into year four. Just let's talk stats, let's

1286
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 2: talk production. Who do you think has the bigger twenty

1287
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 2: twenty four between those two receivers?

1288
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 3: All right, so let's go to Nico Collins.

1289
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 11: So, Nico Collins was a guy in Michigan who was

1290
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 11: a big guy that wasn't a speed guy, but could

1291
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 11: get separation downfield. He had some nagging injuries the first

1292
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 11: couple of years. Also, the quarterback play for CJ. Stratta

1293
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 11: had not been good. And I remember talking to a

1294
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 11: receivers coach who put me on when he was drafted.

1295
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 11: He goes, I'm telling you're gonna look smart if you

1296
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 11: talk about him. And I remember talking to the guy

1297
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 11: over the first year, so I'm like, man, what has

1298
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 11: happened to I said, you told me all this stuff

1299
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 11: would happen he goes, look, I can't predict injuries, but

1300
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 11: you look at the quarterback play before you tell me

1301
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 11: I was wrong. I'm like, okay, well see what happened

1302
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 11: when he got an elite quarterback. Yeah, I'm saying CJ.

1303
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 11: Strata as the lead. He was incredible, maybe one of

1304
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 11: the best rookie seasons of covering this. This is is

1305
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 11: twenty five years that I've seen and Nico Collins he

1306
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 11: was incredible. I mean, he had a great year. He

1307
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 11: finally started to realize his production. But Jayalen Waddle from

1308
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 11: day one, it's been more, way more consistent. So Brian

1309
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 11: to move this along here, there's no question that Watle's

1310
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 11: just been a better football player. But they play two

1311
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 11: different styles of play. I mean, Janleen Wattles more of

1312
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 11: what we call Z receiver movement and the guy with

1313
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 11: the Texans is h is more of what we call

1314
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 11: an X receiver, a single side receivers.

1315
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 3: It's it's really a good story.

1316
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 11: By the way, Nico Collins, I was like, oh, you know,

1317
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 11: I don't know if it's going to happen, and he's

1318
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 11: had a breakout season and BOYD talk about urgency.

1319
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 3: He knew it. He had a ball out and he did.

1320
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 4: With the new CBA schedule, Brian, we I mean, Adam,

1321
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 4: we will not have offseason workout holdouts. I would imagine

1322
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 4: quite quite like we do now any of the guys

1323
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 4: and look holdouts a strong term because it's all voluntary.

1324
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 4: But you know, the Bengals wide receivers, I you anything

1325
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 4: really kind of catch your attention as something that might

1326
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 4: you know, extended into training camp.

1327
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 11: I'd say this though the mandatory camps. We got about

1328
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 11: eight to ten teams that have mandatory camps.

1329
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 3: This week.

1330
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 11: We'll learn more about that than the week after and

1331
01:06:58,240 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 11: two weeks or the rest of them. Then they're off

1332
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 11: for the sou The players to watch are t Higgins,

1333
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 11: who's I'd be I'd be kind of suppressed if he

1334
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 11: got an extension. The Bengals are are not a cash

1335
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 11: rich team like the Eagles and some other clubs. Brandon

1336
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 11: Ayuk the boy the Niners want this deal done. It's

1337
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 11: a matter of the value of him and how he

1338
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 11: sees in how the club sees it. But he's he's

1339
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 11: a phenomenal football player. By the way, they drifted, they

1340
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 11: have like a lot of receivers. It's kind of interesting

1341
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 11: Jamar Chase, watch him ceedee lamb watch him. The big

1342
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 11: one is Justin Jefferson. He's got it. He's got to

1343
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 11: get better than A J. Brown Steel no offense to

1344
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 11: A J. Brown is a great player. Justin Jefferson is

1345
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 11: a gold jacket player. He's on a on a trajectory

1346
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 11: to be a Hall of Fame player. And it's just

1347
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 11: ironic that Justin Jefferson should be an Eagle. The Eagles

1348
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 11: passed on him and took Jalen Rager and Viking fans

1349
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 11: and Rick Spiel and I got to give. I had

1350
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 11: to bring it up. He had to bring it up.

1351
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 11: And then that's but a J and that necessitary necessary,

1352
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 11: maybe the necessary decision for a J.

1353
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 3: Brown, A J.

1354
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 11: Brown Bible. What a trade that was. Titan fans don't

1355
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 11: want to hear about it, but A J. Brown's been

1356
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 11: an absolute stud. But AJ Brown's miick at thirty two

1357
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 11: million a year, the highest paid receiver turns with average.

1358
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 11: I expect Justin Jefferson to beat that when he gets

1359
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 11: this steal done, I expected done by training Kip.

1360
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 3: If not well before.

1361
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 2: Man, that's just cruel right there, Jalen Rager instead of

1362
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 2: Justin Jenness.

1363
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I know, but that's the truth, man, it

1364
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 3: is the truth.

1365
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 2: I'm just saying for Eagles fans, right like, that's a

1366
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 2: cruel reality.

1367
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 4: And it was.

1368
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say John Ross top ten, pig,

1369
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 2: he's in camp.

1370
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 3: Crazy, but he was trying to.

1371
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 11: By the way, I'm there twenty seventeen draft, so her

1372
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,600
Speaker 11: the Eagles won the Super Bowl. John Ross. I was

1373
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 11: at that draft in Philly. Two major things happened, one

1374
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 11: to both were not No one expected it. John Ross

1375
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 11: got late first round, early second round grades. He went

1376
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 11: top ten. And as it was my last year at ESPN,

1377
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 11: I told Bill Pollie and my friend, the Hall of

1378
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 11: Fame general manager, I said, and Bill was not wrong.

1379
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 11: New of us was wrong. Two things can actually be right.

1380
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 11: At the same time, I told Bill he's going in

1381
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 11: the top ten. I didn't know where he was going

1382
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 11: to go. Bill strongly said, he goes, he goes. He

1383
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 11: thought it was ridiculous, but he explained, because a lack

1384
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 11: of starts, he goes. It's a mistake. Bill was right now.

1385
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 11: I was ready went number two. You could have pushed

1386
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 11: me over with a feather when the Niner When the

1387
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 11: Niners traded out and the the Bears traded up. Nobody

1388
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 11: knew the Bears kept it quiet. That was one of

1389
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 11: the shocking things about that drift. I could not believe

1390
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 11: that Truisky went number two.

1391
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it. We still can't believe that.

1392
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 11: But uh and then in the playoffs, by the way,

1393
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 11: real quick, they mean the playoffs of Bears did his

1394
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 11: second year in twenty eighteen.

1395
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but not quite what you know, Mahomes turned out

1396
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 3: to be. No, that was a mistake. No, that looks hindsight.

1397
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, but another thing, and one of these days we'll

1398
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:43,759
Speaker 11: talk about the real Mahome story. Let me just how

1399
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 11: just how the Chiefs were on them, but other teams

1400
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 11: were in the Seahawks and others. It was fascinating when

1401
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 11: you really get the truth of how against a lot

1402
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:51,600
Speaker 11: of teams were on Mahomes.

1403
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,759
Speaker 2: Pretty interesting, Yeah, very interesting stuff. Maybe next week, Cap,

1404
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 2: sure you can't feel sure?

1405
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? Man, all right, Cap, We'll have a good weekend. Man,

1406
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 3: We'll see you all right there.

1407
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 2: He is Adam Kaplan FSR NFL insider Manzi blans with

1408
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 2: us as well. Manzi, what is the latest embracing for

1409
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 2: the worst with these freaking Yankees on June second.

1410
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 9: You probably should. It doesn't seem to be going that

1411
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 9: well for you.

1412
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 3: As this that go way at all? What is up

1413
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 3: with today? My goodness, something's in the air.

1414
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 8: I told you my allergies, Yankees.

1415
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 3: Something's in the air, Brian, I don't know.

1416
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 9: I don't know. Listen, there's still a chance.

1417
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 8: It's top of the ninth inning in San Francisco, Giants

1418
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 8: up five to three.

1419
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,759
Speaker 9: There's still a chance. We'll see what happens.

1420
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 8: The Mariners have definitely added some more runs to secure

1421
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 8: their win over the Angels. It's five zero, bottom of

1422
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 8: the eighth inning in Seattle. The Dodgers also added another

1423
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,639
Speaker 8: run of Freddie Freeman's sackfly. So it's four zero at

1424
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 8: home against the Rockies, top of the ninth inning. Back

1425
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 8: to the Yankees Giants game. So Blake Snell was removed

1426
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 8: in the fifth inning.

1427
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:53,799
Speaker 9: He was a starter.

1428
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 8: Apparently he left due to left growing tightness, and you

1429
01:10:57,800 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 8: mentioned that that you could see him kind of grabbing

1430
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 8: is growing on his way, So official left growing tightness

1431
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 8: is why he left. NASCAR Cup Series just ended. Austin Sindrike.

1432
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 8: When's it in the last slap at Gateway out of

1433
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:14,679
Speaker 8: Illinois at the RBC Canadian Open. Robert McIntyre yup, still

Speaker 8: shot back, Victor Perez now two shots back, and in

Speaker 9: Back to you guys, good.

1442
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 7: Wow.

1443
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 3: Oh no, wow?

1444
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 9: Is it about cheese?

1445
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 3: It's I cannot reveal anything. Jes yet it's in a while.

1446
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 4: They're pretty good.

1447
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 8: Really, I think they're like that's this argument we always have,

1448
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 8: like if I'm gonna get a cheesy snack, I'm not

1449
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 8: gonna pick a cheese.

1450
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1451
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:57,600
Speaker 4: But here's here's the thing. It's your your preference in

1452
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 4: snack changes when you have kids, because fair you gain

1453
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 4: that that parent fifteen you know.

1454
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,919
Speaker 8: Stair, I mean, I don't know about that affair.

1455
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 4: It's most yeah, you just because what happens. But when

1456
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 4: they're about a year old, they start eating like like

1457
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 4: real human food, that solid food you just start eating

1458
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 4: like oh, like oh, macaroni is pretty good. Like, you know,

1459
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 4: you don't eat macaroni, I would imagine for a couple

1460
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 4: of years. You know, if you become an adult and

1461
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 4: you start eat macaroni again, grow cheese, sandwiches and cheese,

1462
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 4: it's and goldfish like things that you just go eat

1463
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,799
Speaker 4: for so many years are back in the rotation.

1464
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 9: I get it.

1465
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 3: I get it. That makes sense, it does. It makes

1466
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 3: a lot of sense.

1467
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 4: Right, I'm not down to the whole pack of cheeses

1468
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 4: by myself, but I might help my kids have something,

1469
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 4: you know.

1470
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 9: Sure, Yeah, I was a monster.

1471
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 12: I was so happy yesterday we gave my daughter some

1472
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:39,759
Speaker 12: Golden grams.

1473
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 3: Yes, so good.

1474
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1475
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 3: Yes. How often have you tried to get something in

1476
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 3: rotation through your daughter?

1477
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 12: Incredibly often? And it always fails, always fails.

1478
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 4: Really because Brian kids are like they'll tell you they

1479
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 4: like something, the next day they hate it. It's really

1480
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 4: it's very frustrating. Like they'll eat a whole thing of

1481
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 4: strawberries one day, a whole container of them, a whole cart,

1482
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 4: and I'll go buy more and they will eat them

1483
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 4: for two weeks. It's like it's like I just like

1484
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 4: it's so and then whatever Costco has in rotation. That's

1485
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 4: basically what my kids get now for.

1486
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,480
Speaker 3: Snacks and what did you call it, like the parent fifteen.

1487
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 3: That's a common thing. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, I didn't

1488
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 3: know that. It makes sense.

1489
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 12: Though, especially now everything's so expensive. Like, I'm not I'll

1490
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 12: be damned if I'm wasting any food. So someone's eating that, Yeah.

1491
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 4: A grilled cheese sandwich on just two pieces of white

1492
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 4: bread with like two pieces of American cheese, but you know,

1493
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 4: buttered on each side with the bread. Dude, I'm not

1494
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 4: letting that go to waste.

1495
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 9: Now, yeah, you have to add may.

1496
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:43,879
Speaker 4: I've done the male on the outside yet It's fine.

1497
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,560
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not letting that go to waste. So

1498
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 4: it goes into my body on top of what I'm

1499
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 4: also going to eat. That's how that starts now, you know,

1500
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 4: in the yellow four, five, six, and but now you

1501
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 4: know now it's like you know chick flame nuggets. Oh

1502
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,520
Speaker 4: you got a couple left over all you do? Thank you?

1503
01:13:58,520 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 4: You know it goes that direction.

01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 3: Oh jeff, it looks like triples alley maybe a little uh.

1530
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,799
Speaker 2: No man. I think we were talking about the sequel

1531
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 2: for Hey, jealousy. What did we say at the beginning

1532
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 2: of the show.

1533
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 3: It's aggressive jealousy?

1534
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 4: Was that it?

1535
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 3: Jeff something like, yes, yeah, that's what's going on in

1536
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 3: the w NBA, all these players raging against Caitlin Clark.

1537
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 2: We need the sequel from the Beastie Boys. No sleep

1538
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 2: Till Brooklyn, No Sleep Till Bronx huh for the Bronx Bombers.

1539
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 2: As the Yankees are going crazy here in the ninth

1540
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 2: inning against your Giants.

1541
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 4: It's fitting for the Giants. It really is this. He

1542
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 4: goes back to my point about Superstars. Right, so Wan

1543
01:15:55,760 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 4: Soto has two home runs today, Leave Judge has two

1544
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 4: home runs in the series, and Stanton has one them correct,

1545
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 4: I believe on this and the Giants, I don't know

1546
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 4: one home run for the series. I don't know zero,

1547
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 4: like and I get they tried to get Aaron Judge.

1548
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 4: They signed Arson Judge, but they tried to get Aaron Judge.

1549
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 4: Do you remember that John Hayman or someone too?

1550
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 3: It was so good.

1551
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 4: The Giants signed Arson Judge, so they tried to get someone.

1552
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 4: And I understand playing this ballpark and to be fair, well,

1553
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 4: the Giants won the World Series. Those three seasons. It's

1554
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:38,600
Speaker 4: not like it was with a bunch of fragents that

1555
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 4: I mean they traded for Hunter Pence. But for the

1556
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 4: most part in the Barris you know, through like one game,

1557
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 4: bas you should justify his whole contract in that one

1558
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 4: post in twenty twelve, I believe it was. But for

1559
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 4: the most part it was homegrown players because they had

1560
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 4: to have homegrown players. It's hard to sign fragans to

1561
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 4: play in a ballpark where the ball doesn't travel as well.

1562
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 4: I get that. But this again, this shows this game,

1563
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 4: this series and the Yagas are really good though, like

1564
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 4: this is they are. They were forty one nineteen heading

1565
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 4: into this game tonight or today, they have a championship.

1566
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 3: Roster, Brian, they really do.

1567
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 4: I think that's the first time we can say this

1568
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 4: in a while. I know they've been close, but when

1569
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 4: you look at the addition of Sodo and how important

1570
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 4: that is to the lineup, and it just frees up

1571
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 4: a lot of other players. Right The starting pitching this

1572
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 4: year has been a lot better, and they're they're just

1573
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 4: stacked this year. Like I would not surprise me if

1574
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 4: they were, you know, left standing out of the American League.

1575
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 2: Man that that sodo judge one two combo back to

1576
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 2: back in the batting order.

1577
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 3: That's freaking nasty. Now let me throw something else at you.

1578
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 2: Because props to Bo Benz and our trusted producer, he

1579
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 2: put this on my radar, so Colin Cowhard he had

1580
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 2: to take this week where he was talking about in

1581
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 2: the world of college football. He thinks that USC should

1582
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 2: no longer play Notre Dame.

1583
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard it.

1584
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you know me, Jeff, I'm from South Bend,

1585
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 2: lead Irish football.

1586
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 3: I was not a fan of this early on. But

1587
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 3: the argument he makes.

1588
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 2: Just listen to this, the argument Coyhurd makes for USC

1589
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 2: not to play Notre Dame going forward.

1590
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 7: If I was USC, I'd be like, Nah, been there,

1591
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 7: done that. You want to join the Big ten Notre Dame,

1592
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 7: then we'll play you. But I got Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State.

1593
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 7: You ever gone to a Saturday night game in Penn State?

1594
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 7: I have the white out, Good luck USC, three thousand

1595
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 7: miles in that crowd, James Franklin and all those NFL

1596
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 7: athletes Camp Randle on a Saturday night Columbus Eugene Husky Stadium.

1597
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:35,759
Speaker 3: And then I got my rival.

1598
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 7: At the end of the year, and then I got

1599
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 7: the conference championship, then I got the twelve team playoff.

1600
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 7: I'm punting Notre Dame out of respect for Notre Dame.

1601
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense. I hate to say it,

1602
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,839
Speaker 2: but man, you look at the new reality for USC

1603
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten. That's a lot of talent They've

1604
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 2: got to play on top of Notre Dame in the

1605
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 2: non conference.

1606
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 4: That's look. His main point of that was that he

1607
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 4: said that the college football has killed tradition, right, like

1608
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 4: they have no they no longer care about tradition, which

1609
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 4: is true. There's no more audition college football. So why

1610
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 4: does USC have to have this tradition of playing Notre

1611
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 4: Dame Now? The way the schedule works that they play

1612
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 4: in South Bend in October, and that the return game,

1613
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 4: the game next year is in its last game of

1614
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 4: the season November, they played home, Right, Notre Dame switches off.

1615
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 4: They play the Lazies in game in California VRSUS USC

1616
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 4: and Stanford, and they play the game in October at

1617
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 4: home against one of those opponents. Right, this was a

1618
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 4: reference to us. He's trying to ditch the LSU game

1619
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 4: week one, which is very funny. Because Pete Carroll's team's

1620
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 4: played everyone right now, that's the counter to this, is

1621
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll's teams, Man, they weren't shy about playing anyone Brian,

1622
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 4: they played. They scheduled hard, you know. But I get

1623
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 4: Calart's point. Man, you're playing this tough schedule and you

1624
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,680
Speaker 4: have LSU and Notre Dame. Yeah, it's a lot of

1625
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 4: non conference games. It's not supposed to conference. The quickest

1626
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 4: way for nerd aim by the way to join a

1627
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 4: conference would be for Stanford USA to tell them we're

1628
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 4: scheduling you until you join a conference.

1629
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 2: Right right, Okay, lots to do. We'll get to the

1630
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:17,759
Speaker 2: NBA Finals matchup, Jeff. You and I are on opposite

1631
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 2: sides here, huh. We'll go through our reasoning next.

1632
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 3: Man.

1633
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 2: It's shaping up to be Schwartz v. No in the

1634
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. Details on the way. We're broadcasting live from

1635

Speaker 3: Tire rack dot com.

1640
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be all right, Jeff, So

1641
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 2: your team MAVs in the NBA Finals. I and look,

1642
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 2: you and I we've watched these playoffs very very closely,

1643
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 2: and I'm I'm Team Celtics in this match. Aw I

1644
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 2: am for a few reasons. One thing that stands out

1645
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 2: to me is I think one of the major reasons

1646
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 2: to doubt the Celtics is that they just let you

1647
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 2: down too often. If you look at the teams that

1648
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 2: they've faced, we look at their warts more than their strengths,

1649
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 2: and their path has been cake let's just call it

1650
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 2: what it is, been.

1651
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 3: A very very favorable path.

1652
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 2: No Jimmy Butler with the Miami series, Donovan Mitchell missed

1653
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 2: a couple of games in the Cleveland series. No Jared Allen,

1654
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 2: He's an all star that all matters. No Tyrese Haliburt

1655
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 2: in the last two games for the Pacers. But you

1656
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 2: look up and it's like you need to be reminded

1657
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 2: that they've only lost two games in the Eastern Conference playoffs,

1658
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,680
Speaker 2: and we make it sound like they lost, you know,

1659
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 2: five or six games, and they've barely skated, They've barely

1660
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 2: gotten by in like a.

1661
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 3: Close game seven.

1662
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 2: I just think Boston has graduated to championship or bust.

1663
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,640
Speaker 2: And it's a weird thing where it's a backhanded compliment

1664
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 2: where we expect so much from Boston because they are

1665
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 2: so talented, because they won sixty four games, that we're

1666
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 2: just not okay with a night where they look lethargic,

1667
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 2: or they're going through the motions and yet still win,

1668
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 2: or like you should have won, buy more. You know,

1669
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 2: we're just hard to please when it comes to us

1670
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 2: watching the Boston Celtics, and so I think this that

1671
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 2: was then, this is now.

1672
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:33,440
Speaker 3: Sure they've looked lethargic.

1673
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 2: Sure they've looked unfocused at times against lesser opponents.

1674
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 3: These are the NBA Finals.

1675
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 2: They're facing the Dallas Mavericks with two great closers that

1676
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 2: you detailed in Luca and Kyrie. I just don't see

1677
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:53,600
Speaker 2: how the Boston Celtics look the same way in the finals.

1678
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 2: Getting Porzingis back this stage, the doubt that is out there.

1679
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 3: Left in ah this team.

1680
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 2: Look at their home record the last three years in

1681
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 2: the playoffs, YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA.

1682
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 3: That's extra motivation on top of it being the finals.

1683
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 3: I just don't think you see an unfocused.

1684
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 2: Team like you have at many times during the Eastern

1685
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 2: Conference playoffs.

1686
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 4: I follow up on that the Celtics have I missed

1687
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 4: the championships they have won recently.

1688
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 3: Well that Vaps haven't either. We gotta go back to dirt.

1689
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:33,599
Speaker 4: Right, No fair. I'm just curious because we talk about them.

1690
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 4: Oh they're waiting for the finals. Guys, you know what

1691
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 4: didn't matter. Everybody's the finals. They have to play hard

1692
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,440
Speaker 4: in the finals. They want to have any these lapses.

1693
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 4: We talk about the Chiefs in that way three times

1694
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 4: Super Bowl champions, right, we think about Georgia sometimes that

1695
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 4: way in college football. Oh yeah, okay, they beat Akron

1696
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 4: by eight, like what evs? You know they'll be The

1697
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 4: Celtics have won zero championships with this roster. In fact,

1698
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 4: they've won one championships. Is Larry Bird retired? Okay, So

1699
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 4: we talk about them like they are destined to be

1700
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 4: champions and they can skate through the playoffs because they're

1701
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 4: just gonna go to the finals. And yeah, they'll they'll

1702
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 4: they'll turn on out. Brian, I don't know, man, I

1703
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 4: think style of play matters. When you were when when

1704
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 4: a team is without their best player and you let

1705
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 4: that team whether it was really start with the Cavs, right,

1706
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 4: hang around that series without Mitchell. When you let the

1707
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 4: Pacers hang around that series without Holly Burden, now they're

1708
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 4: more well rounded offensively than we saw Cleveland. Is dude,

1709
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 4: I have a problem with him, man, Like I think

1710
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 4: style of play matters, and they they they just had

1711
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 4: moments where there's a problem they've had with this coaching

1712
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,600
Speaker 4: staff and this offense of just ineptitude and offense. For

1713
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 4: five minutes, they still put up on hundred that points.

1714
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 4: So you're absolutely right, they're still winning these games, but

1715
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 4: they can't have those laps against Dallas. And I don't

1716
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 4: think they're a team that's a turn on and off

1717
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 4: the switch team. What did they turn on the switch

1718
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 4: to win a championship? They haven't yet, So it feels

1719
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:12,600
Speaker 4: like it's just too early for them to act this

1720
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 4: way with any championships to back up that this is

1721
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 4: what works for them. So that's that, you know, that's

1722
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 4: sort of my biggest concern about this idea is like, again,

1723
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 4: I this are supremely talented, but they play sometimes like

1724
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 4: they're multiple time champions and Dallas doesn't. Dallas plays like,

1725
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 4: hey man, this is we haven't won anything yet, And

1726
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 4: so that's a big difference in the way I look

1727
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 4: at this series.

1728
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 2: I would wonder this, right, if we play the if game.

1729
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 2: This is just a theory, right, I wonder what would

1730
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 2: have happened. Let's say the Celtics they had the hard

1731
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 2: road like the MAVs had, and the MAVs had the

1732
01:25:57,240 --> 01:26:00,560
Speaker 2: easy path that the Celtics had, Right, Like, let's just

1733
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 2: flip flop the paths in the playoffs. I really wonder

1734
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 2: if we're still getting this finals matchup, would we be

1735
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 2: looking at the teams differently? Would there be a night

1736
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 2: where Luca and Kyrie they lost focus, you know, they're

1737
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 2: playing this team that is much lesser than them.

1738
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 3: Would we look at those teams differently? It's possible, right

1739
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 3: it is. Now it sounds like.

1740
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 2: I'm just going out of my way to absolve all

1741
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 2: blame of the Boston Celtics, and I'm really not.

1742
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 3: I don't mean to do that.

1743
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,720
Speaker 2: They have been embarrassing at times, They've lost focus, they

1744
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,600
Speaker 2: haven't blown teams out like they should. I get that,

1745
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:39,719
Speaker 2: that's fine, but I think what happens is it's taken

1746
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:40,639
Speaker 2: way too far.

1747
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 3: Where for the most part, the.

1748
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 2: Media, the talking heads, fans in general just dwell on

1749
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 2: the deficiencies of the Celtics instead of their strengths. Like,

1750
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 2: if you didn't watch basketball and you just went by

1751
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 2: the popular comments, the popular opinions about the Celtics, you

1752
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:03,799
Speaker 2: would think this team sucks.

1753
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 4: The expectations of this team are of one that has won,

1754
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 4: as we mentioned, in multiple championships. Like they talk about

1755
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 4: them in that manner, which is I mean, maybe it's

1756
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,560
Speaker 4: the media's fault for the hype and and so the

1757
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:22,240
Speaker 4: lack of the way we sort of give them the

1758
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 4: credit that they deserved. You're actually right of the idea

1759
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 4: that like that they get more grief than other teams

1760
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 4: in the same position. But I think part of that

1761
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 4: is they are the Celtics. There are a storied NFL

1762
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 4: as the NBA franchise. They've been in the spot before,

1763
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 4: they were in the finals two years ago, right, so,

1764
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 4: and again, the style of play they've had so far

1765
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,879
Speaker 4: in the postseasons can be maddening sometimes and they're legitimate

1766
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,640
Speaker 4: concerns about coaching staff and style of play that I

1767
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 4: think are real, And that's I think why this all

1768
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 4: bleeds into my opinion of them losing in six. Yeah,

1769
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 4: they want to, won't be surprised. I just come down

1770
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 4: to the you know, the crunch time, Like we're gonna

1771
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 4: be texting each other, Brian, and it's gonna be like

1772
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 4: you're gonna be like, I hope, I hope Tatum, Oh man,

1773
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,760
Speaker 4: I can can Brown make that? I'll be like I

1774
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:14,759
Speaker 4: got Luca and Kyrie.

1775
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:20,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're down to a big basket, but they've delivered before.

1776
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 3: Think about and I know Tatum has, yeah, hit a

1777
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:27,600
Speaker 3: huge shot against.

1778
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 4: You would trust Jalen Brown more. I don't know if

1779
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 4: Brown can create in the way Tatum can. But Tatum

1780
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 4: like just you know, he thinks he's he's you know,

1781
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 4: he's a three point shooter. He thinks he's Steph Curry

1782
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:44,799
Speaker 4: too much sometimes in these moments too, you're a something's

1783
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:48,679
Speaker 4: backer game on the line, you want Tatum or Brown

1784
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 4: taking the shot?

1785
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 3: It would be Tatum. It'd be because like you said,

1786
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 3: he he can create more create butter Yeah, yes, yeah.

1787
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:57,679
Speaker 4: And if it's a if it's like an open shot,

1788
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 4: I think you would want Brown though.

1789
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 3: Right, Brown is Yeah. I wouldn't have a problem with Brown.

1790
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 3: But in terms of it's just like Tatum's got more

1791
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 3: in yeah, and he's got to step back that.

1792
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. I also think if you're a situation where you

1793
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 4: need someone else to make a shot, the Celtics far

1794
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,360
Speaker 4: more likely to have. Yeah, I think I am going

1795
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:17,679
Speaker 4: to bet Sam Howser to make a three.

1796
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 3: He was two for twenty four and the one one

1797
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:24,599
Speaker 3: for what one for fifteen or whatever? He only made one.

1798
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 4: Records from from three. Okay, if if you were to

1799
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 4: say this where I think the Cells have the huge advantage,

1800
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 4: right if it's someone else take a shot. So it

1801
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 4: can't be Jalen Brown, it can't be Tatum, it can't

1802
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 4: be Luca or Kyrie. The Celtics probably have with the

1803
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 4: next seven guys.

1804
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 3: Well, I love Drew Holliday, he's such I trust.

1805
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:52,600
Speaker 4: Derek White Truck. Yes, commition Porsing is coming back. I

1806
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 4: don't know if I maybe not posing.

1807
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 3: But that's not a bad fifth option for no.

1808
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 4: So who's who's about? It is like who's Who's Who's

1809
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:04,799
Speaker 4: next on on Dallas?

1810
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 2: Like who is It's just like it's a combination. It's

1811
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:13,560
Speaker 2: just it'd be PJ. Washington. It would be just like

1812
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:17,799
Speaker 2: a random collection of dudes that are capable of knocking

1813
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 2: a shot down. Like You're not gonna sit here and

1814
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,759
Speaker 2: be like exim, you know, but he can make shots.

1815
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 2: Jalen Hardy Jayden Hardy made a couple of shots in

1816
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 2: the previous series and they're big. So I like Daniel Gafford,

1817
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 2: I like Derek Lively. Derek Lively adds a lot of shots.

1818
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 4: They're making off those right from Derek Jones Junior.

1819
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,720
Speaker 3: I can't. I used to make fun of this dude

1820
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 3: in Portland.

1821
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,639
Speaker 2: He played for the Blazers, Jeff he could not make

1822
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 2: a three to save his freaking life. And now on

1823
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,680
Speaker 2: a different team, he'll get some open looks and he's

1824
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 2: knocking him down with confidence.

1825
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:54,600
Speaker 3: He's a completely different player with Dallas.

1826
01:30:55,320 --> 01:31:01,599
Speaker 4: Man that that game, that game seven, I was the MAVs, jeez,

1827
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 4: I mean that was we haven't have a time talking

1828
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 4: about that, and it's happened. And that was a man.

1829
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 4: I mean, the holy heck. They came out with the

1830
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 4: purpose and they made it. Yeah, they they took it

1831
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 4: to them, and I mean they even sort of mocked

1832
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 4: them on the way doing it. I mean they were

1833
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 4: miners and so open sometimes it was embarrassing.

1834
01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 3: Crash in Snoop Dogg's direction, you know, it was that.

1835
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:27,640
Speaker 4: Was really it was a really really like that. You know,

1836
01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 4: that's a championship type win, right where you just sort

1837
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 4: of go into someone else's building and just rip their

1838
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 4: guts out and then.

1839
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 3: But think about this, to those.

1840
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 2: That's the last thing we've seen from either team is

1841
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 2: the MAVs crushing Minnesota in their building right to close

1842
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:50,679
Speaker 2: out the series. But think about this, you fast forward

1843
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 2: and after all the negativity about Boston, Oh, their path

1844
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 2: is so easy.

1845
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 3: Look at all these injured teams. They should be crushing them, YadA, YadA, YadA.

1846
01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 2: Vegas and sports books they're like, yeah, Boston to win

1847
01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 2: the series minus two twenty five, Boston in Game one,

1848
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 2: minus six and a half after just a beat down, Yeah,

1849
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:16,160
Speaker 2: yeah on the road by Dallas, and Vegas hasn't flinched.

1850
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, we we think they're by far the

1851
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:19,720
Speaker 3: better team.

1852
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:24,479
Speaker 4: Yeah I was. I took the Mavericks. You would actually

1853
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:26,240
Speaker 4: make more money taking the Mattergs on the money line

1854
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 4: and rolling it over than you would basically taking their

1855
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 4: you know, their their serious price. But I'll have it

1856
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 4: in my back pocket to play with something later. Seven

1857
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 4: and a half, six and a half, I felt felt

1858
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 4: felt heavy in the first game. It's a big it's

1859
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:41,680
Speaker 4: a big number. But ye know, look, the Sultan's will

1860
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 4: be rested, they'll be at home. Dallas has come off

1861
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 4: of you know, much tougher series. Again, the role players

1862
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:50,840
Speaker 4: make a big difference right home and away, right, we

1863
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 4: we often see the role players play differently in serch situations. Well,

1864
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 4: the Boston role players would be home and be rested.

1865
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 4: Those things will matter. I think two points where but

1866
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 4: seven and six and a half feels heavy with Luca

1867
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:04,599
Speaker 4: and Kyrie, right, it just feels like a lot.

1868
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 3: It does. It does feel like a lot.

1869
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 2: But that's the thing is, we get the deficiencies with Boston,

1870
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 2: but we can't gloss over their strengths. And it happens constantly, Jeff,

1871
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,840
Speaker 2: where it's like you have to almost tap someone on

1872
01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 2: the shoulder and be like, you know, this team they

1873
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:27,599
Speaker 2: had like the fifth best point differential in NBA history,

1874
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:31,160
Speaker 2: and all the teams ahead of them won championships. Like

1875
01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:35,200
Speaker 2: this is in the regular season, a historically great run

1876
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:38,559
Speaker 2: that they had in winning sixty four games. They really

1877
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:42,599
Speaker 2: don't have flaws getting Porzingis back, they play great defense,

1878
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 2: you do have closers, right, You've got a decent bench

1879
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 2: coming in there.

1880
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 3: And I just think that.

1881
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 2: I love the matchup of Drew Holliday on Kyrie Irving.

1882
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:55,559
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see that play up. Drew Holliday

1883
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 2: is such a great defender and Kyrie we know his

1884
01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:00,880
Speaker 2: credentials on offense. That is gonna be electric.

1885
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:03,400
Speaker 4: That'd be the matchup of like sort of like the

1886
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:05,839
Speaker 4: you know of the game of the tournament, right, if

1887
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 4: you can finals, you can hold down Kyrie and make

1888
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:12,439
Speaker 4: the Mavericks very one dimension. I mean that might be

1889
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 4: the plan, right. We've we've often seen anyse situations where

1890
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 4: you know, you luk At get forty points and you say, Kyrie,

1891
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 4: you get ten, and like will force everyone else to

1892
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:22,360
Speaker 4: score a bunch of points, right, I can see that

1893
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 4: being a strategy for Boston. There were periods in the

1894
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,240
Speaker 4: early part of the playoffs where Dallas offensively just had

1895
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 4: nothing going. Do you see that as being a problem

1896
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:34,200
Speaker 4: for them at some point in this or I think

1897
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 4: that like that's they're sort of past those days.

1898
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 3: Now in terms of what the offense bogging down.

1899
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, just like five seven minutes of some really bad offense.

1900
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know I hate the Boston's offense, right, Like.

1901
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 4: Well, no, I'm talking about Dallas.

1902
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:53,799
Speaker 3: Those Dallas' offense, yeah, down the stretch.

1903
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 4: Well, no, like the Clippers series, there were moments where

1904
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:58,720
Speaker 4: it's like they didn't score for seven minutes at a time.

1905
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 4: It's been but right they you know, we talked about

1906
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:04,760
Speaker 4: Boss having those issues. Do you see Dallas being an

1907
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 4: issue for Dallas? And so I feel like they've gone

1908
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:09,680
Speaker 4: over that in the postseason, but maybe not now.

1909
01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:11,839
Speaker 3: I think they'll have They'll have some lolls.

1910
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:15,799
Speaker 2: I think that it just feels like Dallas has been knighted,

1911
01:35:16,280 --> 01:35:19,599
Speaker 2: you know, where that series against Minnesota just impressed everybody

1912
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 2: so much where it's just like Luca and Kyrie certified closers,

1913
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:29,879
Speaker 2: offense is outstanding, and it's like, well that was impressed

1914
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:33,640
Speaker 2: of what they did against Minnesota, and Minnesota's defense is fantastic.

1915
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:39,639
Speaker 2: But styles make fights and in the finals, don't be surprised, right,

1916
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 2: I think that Luca, he was amazing in Game five,

1917
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 2: scored twenty points in the first quarter. But I would

1918
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 2: not be surprised. I've actually got under thirty and a

1919
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,160
Speaker 2: half points in Game one, Jeff. Really, I'm taking Lucas

1920
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 2: under in.

1921
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 4: That I have not taken I've not done any way, Jersy.

1922
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 4: I feel like as a plaus I've gone on. There's

1923
01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,479
Speaker 4: been less and less edge I've gotten in some of

1924
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 4: these numbers. Might look you know, I'm doing the house

1925
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:07,920
Speaker 4: with three pointer. I'm just gonna I'll put one hundred

1926
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:09,599
Speaker 4: bucks on it and just call a day. Man. I'm

1929
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:17,439
Speaker 4: of curious sort of where I get out on this series.

1930
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 4: I kind of sort of how I how I yamble

1931
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:21,439

01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 2: do here.

1970
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:11,320
Speaker 2: an awesome job in that song, but at one point

1971
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 2: one of his lyrics, he says, I'm omnipotent. And I

1972
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,560
Speaker 2: said that one time I was filling in for a

1973
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 2: Denver radio stake. Yeah, and I said omnipotent, and all

1974
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 2: these texts came flooding in.

1975
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,679
Speaker 3: You moron, you're pronouncing it wrong.

1976
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 2: And I didn't see the text until after the show

1977
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:34,160

1978

Speaker 2: am told me this is how it is, and it's like, no,

1979

Speaker 2: it's omnipotent. I'm like, well, thanks em, thanks for setting

1980
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 2: me up for failure there, jackass.

1981
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 4: What do you think that? Do you think it meant

1982
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:45,880
Speaker 4: the same thing?

Speaker 4: the people that spend it like it's just a it's

2094
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,080

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you have like to spend three million.

2101

2102
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:03,320
Speaker 4: blip on the radar for those For those individuals, that's great,

2103
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:04,720
Speaker 4: It's insane, right it is.

01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 9: you take the cheese it and you put it in

2138
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 9: your mouth and then boom you start playing your music. No,

2139
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 9: it works. I'm with no, honest one.

2140
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 3: Let's buy it.

2141
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:44,880
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like, uh, you know, if you have video games,

2142
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 2: it's different than having an arcade game.

2143
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 3: You know, like in the corner. It's a whole display.

2144
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 8: Right, it's a whole It's only up to three thousand,

2145
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 8: three hundred and seventy five dollars.

2146
01:45:54,840 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 9: See that's it. I don't like how you say only

2147
01:45:57,120 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 9: in front of it. We just talked out three million dollars.

2148
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 3: We we all, we don't make three million dollars.

2149
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 4: Wait, you don't make doing this?

2150
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:07,840
Speaker 3: I wish I did.

2151
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 4: That's what I get.

2152
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:13,800
Speaker 9: That's not fair that you were in the NFL. I

2153
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 9: was in college.

2154
01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:19,200
Speaker 4: So I get three mills for this show the NFL.

2155
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,120
Speaker 2: Right, right, Jeff, If you're making three mili, you always

2156
01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:24,040
Speaker 2: achies at jukebox for real?

2157
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 9: Ten ten of those for each of us.

2158
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 4: I got you guys.

2159
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 2: That's right, real fast to Monsie clipped on Netflix. Yes,

2160
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 2: the new series about Clippers.

2161
01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:37,080
Speaker 3: Excited about that?

2162
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:40,240
Speaker 8: I mean it's it's it's a terrible time to think

2163
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:44,200
Speaker 8: about because it's hard to not remember that playoff runt

2164
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 8: where we were up three to one, and so it's

2165
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:49,519
Speaker 8: hard to like not blame Donald Sterling for you know,

2166
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 8: yeah still, I mean, I know there were other issues,

2167
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:53,120
Speaker 8: but it's hard to.

2168
01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 4: You know, oh back, okay, ye I thought this year,

2169
01:46:57,439 --> 01:46:58,120
Speaker 4: oh no, no, no, no.

2170
01:46:58,120 --> 01:47:01,560
Speaker 8: No, in that that year, you know, it's hard to

2171
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:05,839
Speaker 8: like not blame him for being such a toxic factor

2172
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:08,559
Speaker 8: in the locker room, even though he obviously was removed

2173
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:11,000
Speaker 8: from the building. But I'm gonna watch it. So but

2174
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:13,200
Speaker 8: excited is not you know the word, because I'm like

2175
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:15,840
Speaker 8: stupid Donald Sterling. But I am gonna look, I am

2176
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:16,360
Speaker 8: gonna watch it.

2177
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:20,799
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, we got Ed O'Neil. He's playing Donald Sterling.

2178
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 4: He's awesome.

2179
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:23,400
Speaker 3: He's great. Yeah, he is great.

2180
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:23,880
Speaker 5: He's great.

2181
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:27,080
Speaker 2: I like your thought, Jeff, if Clipper fans were still

2182
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:28,760
Speaker 2: blaming Donald Sterling.

2183
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 3: And the MAVs.

2184
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are some that are I beg you, there are.

2185
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:39,679
Speaker 2: Some that are in a freaking Donald Sterling good stuff, buds.

2186
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:40,720
Speaker 2: He always good hanging with you.

2187
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 9: Likewise, fellows have a good one, you too, Okay, Jeff.

2188
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:47,720
Speaker 2: So there's something I wanted to throw out there because, uh,

2189
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 2: we were talking about Colehurd's take that USC should no

2190
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:54,960
Speaker 2: longer play Notre Dame in college football, and it made

2191
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 2: sense because they're playing such a tough schedule. I'd hate

2192
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 2: to see the tradition go away. But his point is

2193
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:03,720
Speaker 2: there's no more tradition. I would push back on that.

2194
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 2: I think that tradition is not the same in college football,

2195
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 2: and that was one of his points. The Pac twelve

2196
01:48:11,120 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 2: is just it disintegrated overnight. But there's still tradition involved

2197
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:18,920
Speaker 2: in college football. We still have some great rivalries. We

2198
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:22,479
Speaker 2: still have Michigan, Ohio State, we still have the Iron

2199
01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:24,080
Speaker 2: Bowl with Alabama and Auburn.

2200
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 3: It's not like all tradition is just gone. You can't

2201
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 3: find anything anywhere.

2202
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 2: I'd compare it to how you hear conversations about tackling

2203
01:48:33,320 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 2: in football, particularly the NFL, where they say, just because

2204
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:41,400
Speaker 2: of a previous era where you could, you know, you

2205
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 2: could head slap, you could tackle a guy by his

2206
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:47,560
Speaker 2: face mask, you could blindside hit someone. None of this

2207
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 2: was outlawed, and it's like it's two hand touch now.

2208
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:53,040
Speaker 2: It's like, no, it isn't. It's just different than it was.

2209
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 2: It's still incredibly physical out there, it's just different I

2210
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,680
Speaker 2: think that's comparable to tradition in college football. It's not

2211
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:03,439
Speaker 2: the same, certainly it is, but it's not like it's

2212
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:05,799
Speaker 2: just gone you can't find it anywhere.

2213
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am curious about sort of the idea of

2214
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:15,360
Speaker 4: the Note Dame USC rivalry because is it a is

2215
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:19,600
Speaker 4: it still a So when I think like rivalries, you

2216
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:21,120
Speaker 4: mentioned a couple of them, right, A lot of them

2217
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 4: happen to be you know, like state state rivalries right

2218
01:49:24,120 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 4: in state border states. There are not many rivalries quite

2219
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 4: like USC Notre Dame in college sports, right where it's

2220
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:38,080
Speaker 4: a RIVALI from the nineteen thirties and they're both schools

2221
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:42,719
Speaker 4: that you know, they're they're thousand miles apart. It doesn't

2222
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:48,680
Speaker 4: feel as rivalry ish as Michigan Ohio State, as the

2223
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 4: Iron Bowl, as Texas Oklahoma. It doesn't feel kind of

2224
01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 4: quite that same way, maybe because again it's not a

2225
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:01,960
Speaker 4: conference matchup. It's not a match up of states, you know,

2226
01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 4: you know, Washington, Oregon right, very you know, very prideful

2227
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 4: in their state pride, and so I don't it's very

2228
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:12,639
Speaker 4: traditional for college football. But I don't know if fans

2229
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 4: look at it in the same way that they look

2230
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 4: at those other rivalry games.

2231
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 3: For that reason, I think.

2232
01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 2: I think in general, if you're you're not a fan

2233
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:27,000
Speaker 2: of either team, but you're a fan of college football,

2234
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 2: you would still look at it as one of the

2235
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 2: better rivalries. You might not have it even in your

2236
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:35,480
Speaker 2: top five, but it's a top ten rivalry absolutely.

2237
01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:39,280
Speaker 4: Okay, So but I like your point.

2238
01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 2: It's more of like it's typically like a Florida Miami,

2239
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:45,320
Speaker 2: Florida State Miami type. You're close, you're in the same state,

2240
01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:47,760
Speaker 2: you might have played high school football against each other,

2241
01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 2: that sort of thing.

2242
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am, because you see USC's UCLA's the biggest rival.

2243
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 4: But I still think that you see a USC game

2244
01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:01,760
Speaker 4: like those are that's a bigger rival for USC. The

2245
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:04,120
Speaker 4: Notre Dame is right, It.

2246
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:08,519
Speaker 3: Depends, right, if you're talking about in that area, sure,

2247
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:12,800
Speaker 3: but if you're talking nationally, no, absolutely not, because Notre

2248
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:16,559
Speaker 3: Dame they've been more relevant than UCLA over the last

2249
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 3: ten twenty years. Easily.

2250
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:21,240
Speaker 4: I did think about it. It's just so interesting about

2251
01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:24,000
Speaker 4: that game because you got me thinking about like how

2252
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:27,439
Speaker 4: we view that game. Right, it tends to be rivalry weekend, right,

2253
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:29,479
Speaker 4: because well, sorry, it doesn't tend to be every year

2254
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:32,400
Speaker 4: It depends when, you know, if they're in Los Angeles's

2255
01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 4: rivalry weekend, right, if not, it's it's in the middle

2256
01:51:35,120 --> 01:51:37,800
Speaker 4: of the season. I just don't feel that game. Am

2257
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:39,960
Speaker 4: not saying I'm not It not mean arguing in favor

2258
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:41,519
Speaker 4: of getting rid of the game, by the way, right,

2259
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:44,200
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about how I feel about the game. Yeah,

2260
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't view it as a rivalry as much.

2261
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 2: Wow, that's surprising to me. Yeah, I think it's a

2262
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 2: great rivalry. It's just uncommon. I didn't think about it

2263
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:58,280
Speaker 2: like that, where it's you know, you're not in the

2264
01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:02,160
Speaker 2: same state or you're not in border. It's very different

2265
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:04,520
Speaker 2: than your your typical rivalries.

2266
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 3: Is the origin of it.

2267
01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 4: Mostly that like Notre Dame wanted to go west for

2268
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:12,200
Speaker 4: like their fans in November. Basically, Yeah, it's.

2269
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 3: A recruiting thing for sure. It's a big thing.

2270
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:17,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, they always they play USC on the road

2271
01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:18,880
Speaker 2: the last game of the season.

2272
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 4: Well, they played the California team USC or Stanford on

2273
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 4: the road the last game of.

2274
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:25,559
Speaker 3: The season, it's right, yeah, but they'll play when Notre

2275
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:28,920
Speaker 3: Dame hosts USC. It'll be the middle of the season, right, Yeah.

2276
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:31,759
Speaker 4: Well, both when it hosts US here Stanford it's in October,

2277
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:35,280
Speaker 4: and they play the game California in December and November.

2278
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:38,200
Speaker 2: I should say yeah, But I can think of games

2279
01:52:38,240 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, like the Rodney Pete

2280
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:45,000
Speaker 2: USC team that was number one against Notre Dame. That

2281
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:47,880
Speaker 2: was a huge game at the time. There have been

2282
01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:51,720
Speaker 2: some monster games. Notre Dame were in the green uniforms

2283
01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:56,719
Speaker 2: and they take down USC bush Push. They've been legendary games.

2284
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 2: So look, man, I think that I get coy Hurt's point.

2285
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 2: Where I think the better point is it's just not

2286
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:05,839
Speaker 2: in USC's best interest going forward.

2287
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:12,200
Speaker 3: When you've got a Gauntlet schedule, it's not in.

2288
01:53:12,200 --> 01:53:14,280
Speaker 4: Their best if they have LSU on the schedule too.

2289
01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:18,400
Speaker 4: If they're playing two Cupcakes and Notre Dame, it's not

2290
01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 4: the worst thing in the world, right, And you add

2291
01:53:20,439 --> 01:53:22,880
Speaker 4: in when you add in the LSU game plus Notre

2292
01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 4: Dame plus a Big ten schedule, that's where the that's

2293
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:28,880
Speaker 4: where you get it. That's a lot. It's for a

2294
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 4: Power five, you know conference team to have all those games, right,

2295
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 4: So I get the point from from from that perspective.

2296
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:38,840
Speaker 2: That point makes way more sense to me than Hey,

2297
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 2: tradition is just gone. It's it's not the same. We've

2298
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:46,639
Speaker 2: lost a good portion of tradition with realignment. But it's

2299
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:49,640
Speaker 2: not like you you just can't find tradition anywhere, you

2300
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:52,920
Speaker 2: can't find a traditional rivalry. There's nowhere to be found.

2301
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:55,840
Speaker 2: All these rivalries are new and different. That's not the case.

2302
01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:56,759
Speaker 3: It's just not true.

2303
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:00,320
Speaker 4: No, that's fair. It's not. It's not the saying. But

2304
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 4: they're not they're not gone, right. But again, I go

2305
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:05,160
Speaker 4: back to the point about the national sort of thing,

2306
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:09,560
Speaker 4: like we've we've sort of taken away a lot of

2307
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:14,719
Speaker 4: the national rivalry type things because of TV in favor

2308
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 4: of keeping some regional things right. So I I get

2309
01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:22,040
Speaker 4: its point, but I think it would be it would

2310
01:54:22,040 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 4: be where they didn't play anymore.

2311
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:25,679
Speaker 3: I feel like I think, yeah, I'd hate to see

2312
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:25,880
Speaker 3: that go.

2313
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 4: I think LSU, you get rid of the LSU game,

2314
01:54:29,200 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 4: and then that's not a problem, right, you keep Notre

2315
01:54:31,040 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 4: Day in game. Again, I do think though, if you

2316
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 4: tell Notre Dame we're not playing until you join the conference,

2317
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:41,160
Speaker 4: that would certainly help them join a conference.

2318
01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:43,120
Speaker 3: I do wonder which way it's gonna go.

2319
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 2: Last thing I'll say to you, real fast, Jeff is

2320
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:49,640
Speaker 2: because now that the playoff has expanded to twelve teams,

2321
01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:52,880
Speaker 2: and it might expand immediately after to fourteen or who

2322
01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 2: knows what.

2323
01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:55,560
Speaker 3: I wonder which way it's gonna go.

2324
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:59,160
Speaker 2: Where a team like USC can say, on one hand, well,

2325
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 2: we've got a little bit of wiggle room. We can

2326
01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:04,200
Speaker 2: lose a couple of games and still make the playoffs,

2327
01:55:04,240 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 2: so let's continue to schedule. Notre Dame or will teams

2328
01:55:07,760 --> 01:55:10,200
Speaker 2: look at it and say, man, we got a lot

2329
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:13,520
Speaker 2: of tough games. We don't need another tough game and

2330
01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 2: make our path even more difficult. Like you would think

2331
01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:20,360
Speaker 2: they would tend to, with more wiggle room, keep a

2332
01:55:20,440 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 2: tougher schedule, But that might not necessarily be the truth,

2333
01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 2: because once you get to that twelve team playoff, you're

2334
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 2: playing the best of the best, And so do you

2335
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 2: want to make your regular season path challenging when the

2336
01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:35,080
Speaker 2: playoff path is certainly going to be challenging, they might not.

2337
01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:37,640
Speaker 2: They might look to lighten their schedule quite a bit.

2338
01:55:38,760 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 4: Well, the effect of the twelve team playoff, I think

2339
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:44,160
Speaker 4: we're sort of seeing already where you know, we have

2340
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:49,440
Speaker 4: seen better matchups moving forward in non conference because I

2341
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:52,920
Speaker 4: don't think there's a fear anymore of losing, you know,

2342
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 4: losing that one or two games because you have an

2343
01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:57,680
Speaker 4: opportunity to keep that playoff spot. I think we're going

2344
01:55:57,760 --> 01:56:00,200
Speaker 4: to see more teams schedule tougher early conference game games

2345
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 4: or no conference teams, because why not. And I think

2346
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:05,720
Speaker 4: we're two we all, we all seem to like there's

2347
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:10,600
Speaker 4: some fan base fatigue. Yeah, with the non conference Northwest

2348
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:14,959
Speaker 4: North Northwest South State game. You know, like right, Alabama

2349
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:16,800
Speaker 4: has mentioned this in the past, like they started scheduling

2350
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 4: tougher non conference the the the the Texas series, which

2351
01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 4: is now going to be a conference game obviously, but

2352
01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:25,360
Speaker 4: you know, they've scheduled tougher because of that reason. And

2353
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 4: so I think teams are trying to not have three

2354
01:56:28,840 --> 01:56:30,360
Speaker 4: cupcakes anymore on their schedule.

2355
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:32,840
Speaker 2: I hope that's the case, man, for sure. All Right,

2356
01:56:32,880 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna close it down in style. Who would you

2357
01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:39,560
Speaker 2: say is the most interesting NFL team this season? Who's

2358
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 2: the least interesting? Jeff and I will compare notes before

2359
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:44,400
Speaker 2: we get on out of here. He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm

2360
01:56:44,440 --> 01:56:47,120
Speaker 2: Brian No hang with us right here on Fox Sports Radio.

2361
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:53,480
Speaker 2: He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian no here on Fox Sports Radio. So, Jeff,

2362
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:56,600
Speaker 2: the Bears featured on Hard Knocks.

2363
01:56:57,800 --> 01:56:58,200
Speaker 7: I like it.

2364
01:56:58,240 --> 01:57:00,960
Speaker 2: There were three teams that could have been to do this,

2365
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 2: and they by far picked the most interesting team. It

2366
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 2: was down to the Bears, the Broncos, the Saints. That's

2367
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 2: a layup Bears, right, Caleb Williams number one overall draft pick.

2368
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:17,120
Speaker 2: Saints are They're kind of boring right now, Bo Nicks,

2369
01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:17,800
Speaker 2: that's all you get.

2370
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 3: I'd go Bears there, right? You agree with that?

2371
01:57:21,080 --> 01:57:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think with the Killer Williams story, I mean,

2372
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 4: he's maybe the best quarterback that the team has ever had, so.

2373
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:32,040
Speaker 3: Yes, he very well could be. Yeah. Absolutely, So how

2374
01:57:32,080 --> 01:57:32,400
Speaker 3: about this?

2375
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 2: It got me thinking about the most interesting teams the

2376
01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:39,520
Speaker 2: least interesting teams. If you whittle it down just for

2377
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:43,680
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season, who are you most interested

2378
01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:44,240
Speaker 2: in watching?

2379
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:46,400
Speaker 3: Who are you least interested in watching?

2380
01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:53,160
Speaker 4: I mean the Bears up there with Kayleb Williams. I

2381
01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:57,120
Speaker 4: think you know Houston's ascension in year two, and I'm

2382
01:57:57,160 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 4: really curious to watch Buffalo and sort of their quest

2383
01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:06,040
Speaker 4: with Josh Allen with a little bit of a remade roster.

2384
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:09,120
Speaker 4: I can't wait to watch Justin Herbert with Jim Harbaugh.

2385
01:58:09,400 --> 01:58:11,360
Speaker 4: I mean it's gonna be It's gonna be fantastic.

2386
01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:15,879
Speaker 3: Are we gonna see Gable steveson the wrestler?

2387
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:19,120
Speaker 4: Probably not this year, probably next year for that, Yeah,

2388
01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:24,360
Speaker 4: I me think of of who else I'm I'm kind

2389
01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 4: of looking forward to taking.

2390
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 2: There are a couple other teams. You stopped me with

2391
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:32,880
Speaker 2: any of these Bengals Niners.

2392
01:58:33,920 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 4: I'm not The Niners are who they are at this point.

2393
01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:41,600
Speaker 4: I'm not like I want to watch them because I

2394
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:44,360
Speaker 4: just I like watching them. But I'm not like, I

2395
01:58:44,400 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 4: don't think there are a team and that I find

2396
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:49,720
Speaker 4: as fascinating anymore. I mean they are who they are

2397
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:50,080
Speaker 4: right now?

2398
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about Cowboys, Lions? My number one team is

2399
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:56,880
Speaker 2: the Jets. I'm most interested in seeing what.

2400
01:58:57,320 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 4: We just want to watch a train wreck.

2401
01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:01,000
Speaker 3: I don't know that it's gonna be a train wreck

2402
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:01,440
Speaker 3: this year.

2403
01:59:01,880 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 4: I really the other By the way, I've thought about

2404
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 4: the other teams right like, who I just do just

2405
01:59:06,320 --> 01:59:08,280
Speaker 4: the Giants are one of them. They're gonna going to

2406
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:12,000
Speaker 4: be any good. I feel like a decent team that

2407
01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 4: I just Tampa Bay just do anything for you. I

2408
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 4: mean they're gonna be nine and eight or eight and nine.

2409
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:21,120
Speaker 4: That's what they're gonna be, right.

2410
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 3: The Panthers bore me, man, I do, I do.

2411
01:59:24,960 --> 01:59:27,600
Speaker 4: I'm curious. There's a lot of hope with with kan

2412
01:59:27,680 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 4: Ellis and Bryce, and I'm sort of curious about how

2413
01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:31,960
Speaker 4: that turns out. I might take a little peak early

2414
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:34,720
Speaker 4: in the season, take a peak, you know, week five,

2415
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,720
Speaker 4: take a peak week eight, kind of just see how

2416
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 4: they're doing. You know this, uh the o they're sort

2417
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 4: of doing. They have a tough schedule. They play I

2418
01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:49,480
Speaker 4: believe that the AFC West and the Bengals too. And

2419
01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:51,360
Speaker 4: on top of that, that's a crossover game. It's a

2420
01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:52,160
Speaker 4: tough schedule for them.

2421
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:55,720
Speaker 3: That's rough. The Patriots until Drake May starts playing games.

2422
01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 4: Oh no, even with Drake May, I don't even know.

2423
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:02,320
Speaker 2: Even with it might be but at least they have

2424
02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:05,680
Speaker 2: this unknown element of what's he gonna be type thing.

2425
02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:08,800
Speaker 2: But until then, yeah, that's pretty rough. Hey man, good

2426
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:11,640
Speaker 2: hanging with you, Jeff. As always, I'll look forward to

2427
02:00:11,800 --> 02:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Boston beating your maps in game one.
