18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: to football, we just have to go through summer.

19
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,360

Speaker 4: to like, you know, six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Like,

23

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 4: I love this all every ounce of the fact that

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: most people are thinking hot dogs, hamburgers are having a

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 4: great debate of what kind of bun you put your

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: hot dog on that's gonna make everybody happy figuring out

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: if you're gonna have like a swimming thing, Like what

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,279
Speaker 4: are you doing? Like, what are you doing this weekend?

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: You're like a one step closer to football. But I

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: appreciate that that dedication to you because I'll be honest.

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: You know, fall is better than summer, as we agree

33
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: on this show. So you know, hey, we got to

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: get through summer to get the fall.

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: That's fine, But I do think you know, this weekend

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: there's people are swimming, you know, they'll be debating football,

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: but not a lot of people thinking about it yet.

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: It's part of your commitment. It's commitment through this whole

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: process to what you love. And I appreciate that.

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: Tap for the weekend, Buddy ah.

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Man, nothing like I mean, honestly.

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: The funny thing is I always thought of Memorial Day

43
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: weekend for the longest time of my life as this

44
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: landmark moment. But then you know that one of the

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: things that changes in life, and you spend so much

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: of it living on a tour bus, is that there's

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 4: certain weekends that most people just have fun and you

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: usually work and that was always the case, like weekend.

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: There's always a concert, you know, so like so for.

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: Me, I think over the years, it's just sort of

51
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 4: lost that luster of relaxation. So I'm just chilling, man,

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: extra days off, like all right, we'll just hang out,

53
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 4: chill and uh you know again, as they said last week,

54
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 4: I'm eating so regimen it can't even have that hot dog.

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: So you know what, Oh play weekend, but can't even

56
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: power it up.

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 4: There's still no caffeine in my blood, still nothing but water.

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: Still only eating exactly what I'm supposed to when I'm

59
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: supposed to. So like Memorial Day weekend, I'm just gonna

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 4: watch everybody else get tanked and then sit back and

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: enjoy it.

62
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: It's it's because you do not sound like a man

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: without caffeine, Figgie, good morning, brother. Does he sound like

64
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: a man who has no caffeine in him?

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 5: Never?

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 6: Never does? And that's the amazing. That's what makes it

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 6: so much more impressive. You know, I don't know how

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 6: you do it, to be honest with you, especially at

69
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 6: this hour.

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh man, you know I got I got the

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,880

Speaker 4: with my voice, like, we're hanging out.

73
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: This is easiest four hours of my week is what

74
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: we're doing right now.

75
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: Let's have some fun, no, we I do look forward

Speaker 2: with you guys, and it's funny because you know, nobody

78
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: likes to get up right. So I'm watching I'm watching

79
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Luca last night, which was unbelievable. Man, they get clear,

80
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: gets caught on a switch, go bears on him. He's

81
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: got no prayer, right, he's just got him on skates

82
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: and then it st back three ice to win it,

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: and I'm going, Wow, that was awesome. Can't wait to

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: talk about it in like three hours when we get

85
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: up and watch it. So that was that was it.

86
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: We love it, We love it. How about Luca last night?

87
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: How about the MAVs? Man, They're a great story. Kyrie played,

88
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: you know, a great fourth quarter after a great game.

89
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: One struggled a bitter early and then was terrific down

90
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: the stretch.

91
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, little part of this is I feel

92
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 4: like sometimes we get so used to what we've seen

93
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: that we forget how great it can be and so

94
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: like Luca all of a sudden, I mean, over the

95
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: course of the last month, there's been so much discourse about, well,

96
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: as Luca really that good, and you hear all these

97
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: people talk about maybe he's overrated, can't do this, can't

98
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 4: do that, and then he comes out and has a

99
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: night yet again like he had last night.

100
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: You just reminded that, you know, you're.

101
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 4: Talking about somebody that is one of the best in

102
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 4: the league, that we were just sleeping on it because

103
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: we're always trying to make new stars. Like not for nothing,

104
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards was not good, not good last night?

105
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: Like great defense, yeah, sure.

106
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: But but like, would we be as kind to Jason Tatum

107
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: if he's had if he had as many bad shooting

108
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: games in a Rose Anthony Edwards has had, like it

109
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 4: just it feels like a couple of weeks ago, a

110
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: week ago, it was always the next Jordan and Luca

111
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: is overrated and now you get yet again they're going

112
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: to and oh at this at this point in this series,

113
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: in part because Luca has.

114
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Played his tail off. On the other side of it,

115
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: Anthony's been been okay, he's been.

116
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 7: Okay, yes, And you know, I think I think Minnesota

117
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 7: is a kind of a new Darling, So you know,

118
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 7: it is like it And I think people go plus

119
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 7: the NBA the NBA.

120
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: On the NBA, we have these conversations about players. It's

121
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: it's bizarre how we have these conversations. But I think

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: Dallas's defense man has been ridiculous.

123
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 3: It's been so good. And you couple that with.

124
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: The way Luca and Kyrie like that backwards playing. They

125
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: have the two bigs with Gafford and Lively, who is

126
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: an amazing young player. I mean, you know, he was

127
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: just sensational last night. And then you know, I mean

128
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: Carl Anthony Towns was worse than Anthony Edwards right, Like

129
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: he couldn't even get on the floor in the fourth quarter.

130
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: I mean, think about it.

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you start thinking about where some of

132
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 4: this went wrong, and you're right part of it. With

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 4: the NBA, I think, is we fall in love with

134
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: like the shiny new toy all the time. Like I

135
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 4: remember when I was when I was a little kid,

136
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 4: there was one year that I was convinced, all right

137
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: that I wanted G I Joe.

138
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: I was so convinced I wanted G I Joe toys.

139
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: It was for my birthday. Yeah, it was my birthday.

140
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 4: My mom was like, you don't want these, Like, we'll

141
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: get you Gi Joe for your birthday, but you're not

142
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 4: gonna like it by Christmas.

143
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, no, no, I want it so much.

144
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: And I got it and I was like, yes, this

145
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: is the best birthday ever. My mom was right, by Christmas,

146
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: I'd put all of it away. It really wasn't my thing,

147
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: you know, And she called it.

148
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: She was right.

149
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: That's what we do, like g I Joe every single

150
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: time with every new thing in the NBA, if one

151
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 4: player has a good month, they can't just be Wow,

152
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: that guy has a good month. It has to be

153
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: this guy is the next whoever. And if one guy

154
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 4: has a good playoff run, it has to be oh,

155
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: he's the next Jordan or who's taking the throne? Or

156
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: why is this team a disaster? Like there's no nuance

157
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: in the coverage of any of this. And I just

158
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: kept watching last night thinking how many times in the

159
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: last few weeks have we given up on some of

160
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: these guys on Dallas while anointing some of these guys

161
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: in Minnesota. And you're right, Karl Anthony Towns was a disaster,

162
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: and you've called that like, you've made it clear that

163
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: the cat is just not your favorite flavor of ice cream.

164
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: As a player, you can look at last night and

165
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: get a clear reminder.

166
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: Of why well, I mean, you see that, and then

167
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: you know to your point about the newest flavor.

168
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: It's so on point when you think of.

169
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: Kyrie right like, because truthfully, you again, how great a

170
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: player Kyrie Irving is incredibly skilled. I mean, you know,

171
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: the first game one, as they're blitzing, they're trying to

172
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: figure out what to do, they were attacking Luca, and

173
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: so Kyrie bears the scoring load.

174
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 3: Last night.

175
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: He didn't really shoot the ball well first couple, you know,

176
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: the first three quarters, two and a half quarters, and

177
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: you know, Lucas carried a Lucas carried it. And then

178
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 2: that end of the third and bulk of the fourth

179
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: he was great. And he's playing great defense, like he's

180
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: flowing to the ball.

181
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: He's playing great. Like I never thought it would work.

182
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: I always thought like, well, having the two of them

183
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: is interesting and fun, but I don't think.

184
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: You can win anything.

185
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: And damn man, those two, those two are terrific together.

186
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: And then the perfect ropers that trade to get PJ.

187
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: Washington and Gafford was just they were like they were

188
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: that was such a big deal. And you think about

189
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: the lesson of what that is in the NBA, And

190
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: it's not about the stars, right, It's not about getting

191
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: you know, the the the three stars and they have it.

192
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: You don't need that. If you shurect you got to

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: skip the right mix. It's really interesting to watch.

194
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, is there is there any part of your mind

195
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 4: too that sees this success and like I'm not trying

196
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: to pile on to the guy, but sees this success

197
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: for the MAVs and then just thinks, Man, the minute

198
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: Mark Cuban leaves, they get successful, and like it just

199
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: feels like the minute Mark Cuban disassociates with the MAVs,

200
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 4: all of a sudden everything starts getting to where he

201
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 4: always wanted it to be. I think it's interesting, like

202
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: everything everything sort of clicking together, and it just makes

203
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: you wonder, like what was the thing that suddenly caused

204
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 4: this all to come together at once?

205
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: And especially a wild West, Like how much time.

206
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 4: We spent on the show talking about how hard the

207
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: Western Conference was this year, how weird it looked, and

208
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: so for Dallas to be playing this well coming out

209
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: of it.

210
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, everybody.

211
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 4: For the last couple of months is just presumed that

212
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 4: the Celtics are rolling. But you know, and without the

213
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 4: Nuggets and the Celtics, you can roll to a title.

214
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: I watched last night and thought, man, why not, like

215
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 4: at this point, why not Dallas to win it all? Like,

216
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 4: there's nothing that they don't have that they would need

217
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 4: to be able to get to that point.

218
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: I think they're beating Boston. I do. I think they

219
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: could beat Boston.

220
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: I feel there's something about the Celtics that I don't trust.

221
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: There's something abat now could be my extreme hatred of

222
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: the Celtics foot disclosure, but there's something about them that

223
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: I don't trust. And it is interesting. You put up

224
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: Mark Cuban, and that, to me is I still I forget?

225
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: Like wow, man, he tried, he sold them like wow.

226
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 2: I never understood why. I didn't really follow the story much.

227
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: And I never really understood why, because listen, when you're

228
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: that wealthy, like you know, and he appeared to get

229
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: that much joy out of it, do you why do

230
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 2: you move on from it?

231
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: I still didn't even understand.

232
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 6: Well, he's still involved. He's still in control of the

233
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 6: basketball operations. I think he's in control of like twenty

234
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 6: eight percent ownership, so he's still heavily involved.

235
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 5: He's just not the majority owner anymore.

236
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, why would he Why did you have the.

237
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: Voice in the room, Like another voice in the room

238
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 4: is all like like that stood up to me.

239
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, figure, why did he do that?

240
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 5: Yeah? I don't know, to be honest with you, that's

241
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 5: a good question. I have no idea.

242
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: It's one of those stories where I didn't really follow,

243
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: you know, some stories you don't, you know, follow it closely, right,

244
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: And I didn't know he saw You're right now, I

245
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: obviously are about the majority piece of it. Just I

246
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: just found it interesting because they showed him last night

247
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: and I'm like, wow, Mark, Yeah, and he was so

248
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: it was always his baby, right, and now it's you know,

249
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: it's not, but the basketball piece of it. Fig I'm

250
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by the Kyrie Luca thing and how it

251
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: worked and it all became you know that that having

252
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: those bigs has been such an incredible It was like

253
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: that trade gave them death and it really gave them defense.

254
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: And it shows you how you win in this league.

255
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, well it changed, Yeah, it changed everything for them

256
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 6: because it was a pretty understated move at the deadline

257
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 6: when it happened. And we know that both Kyrie and

258
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 6: Luka Donchik are not necessarily going to be stopping anybody

259
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 6: on the perimeter.

260
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: But even both of those guys have shown a better effort.

261
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 6: It's still not good, but they've shown better effort from

262
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 6: a defensive standpoint and has permeated throughout the entire roster. Yeah,

263
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 6: PG Washington and Gaffer have been spectacular for them, And yeah,

264
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 6: the way that you win, there's no there's more.

265
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 5: Than one way to do it.

266
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 6: But I mean, you have two dynamic ball handlers who

267
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 6: can also kill you off the ball and basically from

268
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 6: an offensive standpoint, you just need one of those guys

269
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 6: to hit on a given night. PGA Washington has been

270
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 6: huge for them too, And if they keep playing defense

271
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 6: to the whether they're playing, you have one or two

272
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 6: of three guys who can go off and pretty much

273
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 6: carry you from an offensive standpoint, whether it's Kyrie and

274
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 6: or Luca creating and scoring and PGA Washington just being

275
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 6: a finisher and spoting up and shooting.

276
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 5: I mean, they have the formula, and I'm with you.

277
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 6: If they end up facing Boston in the finals, I

278
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 6: can easily see them getting a win.

279
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: We think that there's any way, though, that Minnesota comes

280
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: back in this series. I mean, I know they're down

281
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 4: to nothing, but that game last night, he could have

282
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: gone their way easily. It could have been one one,

283
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 4: could have been one up. Then we're not panicking, like

284
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 4: is it too soon to just call them out of

285
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: this one?

286
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, considering how last series went with Denver and how

287
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 6: good Minnesota looked in the first two games and then

288
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 6: how good Denver looked in the next three. Yeah, I

289
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 6: don't think that it's over. I think do I think

290
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 6: it's likely that they come back and win. No, But

291
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 6: I'm hard pressed to say that the series is over.

292
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 6: I won't go that way.

293
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: Listen. I think it's over.

294
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: And I feel you on you know, because I felt

295
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: the same thing that I thought Minnesota was going to

296
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: win that series easily over Denver, and they were going

297
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: to get stressed and put the seven games and go

298
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: have to win again on Denver's home court, which I

299
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: never thought they do money game seven. Yeah, I mean,

300
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: I agree with you. The thing the match up here

301
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: though is more pronounced. I just don't like the matchup

302
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: for Minnesota, and I again, I don't know how they

303
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: stop Dallas. Like Dallas looks like it can score when

304
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: it wants, like even they fall behind and then they

305
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: come back, and it's because what you said, both Kyrie

306
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: and Luca break you down, and when they start to

307
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: blitz them, that's where you get all those dunks at

308
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: the rim, Like they're able to break down defenders and

309
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: just get those easy baskets. And if you go back

310
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: at and look at it, even in game one, they

311
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: didn't rain threes in game one, right, Like you know, PJ.

312
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: Washington's been pretty quiet, yes this series. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

313
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: I just don't like the match up for Minnesota.

314
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: You're right, everything about that.

315
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 4: I just I'm just trying to I'm just trying to

316
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: make sure there's nothing that we're not learning. I said

317
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 4: that really confusingly. I'm trying to make sure that we

318
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 4: are learning from what we saw in the last round,

319
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: because in the last round it was super easy for everybody,

320
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 4: not just in their series against Tever, but look on

321
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 4: the East. I mean, Indiana falls down to nothing, they're done.

322
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: Indiana falls down three to two, they're done. And look

323
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: at Indiana right, like they got to where they are

324
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: right now. So I'm just trying to make sure that

325
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: we're not over reactionary in the death of Minnesota too early,

326
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 4: that's all.

327
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, And part of it could also be.

328
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: Like you look at Anthony Edwards and you go, you know,

329
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: it's just part of his maturation process, right, I mean

330
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: he's not ready, like I saw and listen, it was

331
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: the right pass like nas Reed has been a it

332
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: was incredible last night, right, Like that's why kat was

333
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: on the bench. I mean he was he was unconscious

334
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: from three, and so Anthony Edwards gives him the last shot,

335
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: and he was right to give him last shot in

336
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: the sense that he was open. So it was the

337
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: right basketball pass. But two years down the line or

338
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: next year, he takes that shot like he creates his

339
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: own Like that's that's you know that he then becomes Kobe, right,

340
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: and he has to finish.

341
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's a fair point that the maturation process

342
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 4: should be considered.

343
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Just like I said earlier, we blow people up too much.

344
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: You can't give up on somebody too early, like it

345
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: is early in where he is in this process, and

346
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: there is sort of a growth that will still happen

347
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 4: in front of him. I think we forget that sometimes,

348
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 4: just because last week it was all about, oh, he's

349
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: the new Jordan, which is was a stupid, big conversation

350
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: to be having right there. I think for most people,

351
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 4: like we avoided that on the show with nobody here

352
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 4: called him the new Jordan. But when you've been annoyed

353
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 4: that way, it just makes it tougher to realize that

354
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 4: there's still a maturation process happening in front of our eyes.

355
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: I love the way Doncience goes out of though, because

356
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: he was barking at the Minnesota bench the whole game.

357
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he was giving one of those things. I

358
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: don't know who it was, one of the I guess

359
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: it was Van Humdy who said it that he's look,

360
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 2: he's telling him where he's going to make the next shot,

361
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: which was which was bird like, right like, And he

362
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: was barking, man, barking Minnesota spans the whole game. And

363
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 2: to execute like that and stick the dagger that felt

364
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: like bird to me.

365
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's part of the the swaggy part of this

366
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 4: is part of why everybody's falling in love with with

367
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: this series and falling in love with I think where

368
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: we are right, and I agree with you.

369
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate that part of it.

370
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's been fun to shame.

371
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 2: The real shame is hal Burt gets hurt because you know,

372
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: if he had a stress that obviously Game one taking

373
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: the overtime and they cut it right, they cut the

374
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 2: lead and and then when Haliburton's out they have no chance.

375
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 6: Well with him in there, I mean, he was a

376
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 6: key culprit in them giving away Game one. So I

377
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 6: mean that that was a tough loss there. I mean

378
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 6: it would if this series could easily be tied one

379
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 6: to one and that game doesn't even go into overtime

380
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 6: if he doesn't throw that pass to Siakam that leads

381
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 6: him out of bounds.

382
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 5: So I mean, I.

383
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 6: Love Halliburton, but in the in the in the most

384
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 6: critical moment, he made a critical mistake that you can't make.

385
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 3: No, But I mean, you know, the only reason why

386
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: they're in the game is because he had Oh.

387
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 6: I don't disagree, but you know, unfortunately the most the

388
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 6: thing that gets magnified the most is the last play.

389
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 2: But I and I feel my only point is, you know,

390
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: to shame. He gets hurt because we go when he

391
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: goes down of the game, like they have.

392
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 5: No chance, zero chance, and yeah they're going back home.

393
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 6: Even if you're down oh two and going back home

394
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 6: to Indiana, you think you have a chance to you know,

395
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 6: get the get back in the series. And if he's

396
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 6: not gonna play what, he's questionable. So we'll see. Yeah,

397
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 6: it's even if he's he did it's the same hamstring. Yeah,

398
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 6: because before he entered the hamstring in January, he was amazing.

399
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 6: He was getting some some some MVP talk.

400
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shame.

401
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: Anyway, fellas were just getting start, lots to do, and guys,

402
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: I want to I want.

403
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: To discuss the lawsuit.

404
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: The NCAA sells the lawsuit and so the Power five

405
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: conferences will pay players.

406
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 3: So this adds to the whole l I mean, this

407
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: is wild. The whole thing is crazy.

408
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: So we have to take a look at college sports

409
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: and the seismic UH decision that came down this past week.

410

Speaker 2: Fellas from the tire Rack dot Com studio sation fits

434
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: Kevin figures, I'm Anthony Gargana. All right, boy, So wild

435
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: stuff happened in college football? Are college sports as d

436
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: NCAA reaction to the lawsuit to settle that lawsuit, and

437
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: now it's that the power of five conferences will pay,

438
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 2: so the school now will pay its athletes. Fitzing, you

439
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 2: do a ton with college sports, though your world got rocked.

440
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, think a little bit about what happened.

441
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 4: And look, I'm not somebody that since here and says

442
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 4: any of this change is bad for college football.

443
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: This is the inevitable change happening for college football.

444
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 4: The other thing I would say is that everything that's

445
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 4: happening now that college football fans are lamenting and saying,

446
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: oh my god, well just remember that the sport could

447
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 4: have gotten ahead of it a long time ago, it

448
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 4: chose not to, and now that it didn't get ahead

449
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: of it, courts got involved. And once courts got involved,

450
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: this was going to become very complicated. So now all

451
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: of a sudden, with this settlement, there's going to be

452
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: revenue shit for college football teams to players, which creates

453
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 4: a real question about whether or not at some point

454
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: they'll be unionization of college football players.

455
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: All of this is just sort of up in the air.

456
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: But I think the one thing that has been talked

457
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: about the least that I think is really interesting is

458
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 4: it could lead to expectation of roster caps, Like, so

459
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 4: right now there are scholarship caps for anybody that doesn't know,

460
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 4: you can only have I think it's eighty five scholarships

461
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: and then forty.

462
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: Five walk ons.

463
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: Right Well, roster caps might be coming because the revenue

464
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: sharing is not tied into those scholarship caps, which means

465
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 4: all these teams that are carrying all these walk ons

466
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: and you see the extra the fun every year it's

467
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 4: like this kicker just won a scholarship.

468
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: Those days look like they're dead.

469
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 4: So how are teams going to start to recruit knowing

470
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 4: that they don't even know how many teams and players

471
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 4: they can have on.

472
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: Their roster in a couple of years.

473
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of details to be worked out,

474
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 4: and as usual, college football has not necessarily done the

475
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 4: best job of working any of those details out in advance.

476
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you need a roster side college football. You

477
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: can't have a streamline roster like the NFL. I don't

478
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: know how you do that. I don't know how you

479
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: operate like that.

480
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think honestly part of that comes

481
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: down to you'd be operating with much bigger like fifty

482
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: three in the NFL. We all know it's not going

483
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 4: to get to that number. But if you're doing a

484
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 4: rev split and everybody's trying to figure out how much

485
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 4: to pay everybody and how to work Title nine into

486
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 4: all of this, Also, like, I just wonder if it's

487
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 4: inevitable that it's like, hey, there are eighty five kids

488
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 4: on a college football.

489
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: Roster and that's it.

490
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 4: And you know, if you don't make the roster, I'm

491
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 4: playing college football this fall.

492
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 3: Wow? Figure how you see it?

493
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't explain it as eloquently as Fitz did,

494
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 6: but I feel like it's just like a this is

495
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 6: moving out of snails pace towards something that we've talked

496
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 6: about on this show for the last couple of years,

497
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 6: and that's really the professionalization of the sports and a

498
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: general rev share where when these college football playoff TV

499
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 6: deals get signed and these conference deals get signed, you're

500
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 6: going to see a lot of that money, even more

501
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 6: so than the twenty million dollars that's being laid out

502
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 6: in this agreement, this initial agreement get paid towards the players,

503
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 6: specifically the players and the revenue generating sports. And I

504
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 6: know there's a talk of unionization and all of that

505
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 6: I believe they think that's going to get slowed down

506
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 6: by this decision, and maybe it will, but I ultimately

507
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 6: ultimately believe that's exactly where we're headed, that the amateurization

508
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 6: of college football at the very least is on its

509
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 6: way out.

510
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 5: It really is.

511
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: So there's so many questions, Like, you know, obviously, when

512
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 2: you have this dramatic change, and people, you know, freak

513
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: out like, oh my god, you know what happened to

514
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 2: the scholarship, like that whole antiquated fought like and I

515
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: get it in like nineteen seventy two, right when you know,

516
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: there are big TV deals in college football, and I

517
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 2: understand that the scholarship was commensurate to payment, but would

518
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: explodes into the late seventies, certainly the eighties and of

519
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: course the nineties into today.

520
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 3: You know, these kids got to get compensated.

521
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: When the sports explodes the way it does, and college football,

522
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: the conferences in the universities, you know, are generating scores

523
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: and scores and revenue.

524
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: The players going to get their share well.

525
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 4: And the hardest part about this again is that because

526
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 4: they didn't get ahead of it, and now it's been

527
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 4: done in the courts, I think what people need to

528
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 4: remember is that in the NFL, in any pro sport,

529
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 4: we talk about it all the time. Well, it's collectively bargained.

530
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: I die on that hill all the time too. If

531
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 4: you don't like it, go collectively bargain it. Well, because

532
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 4: they didn't come to this conclusion by themselves, they're basically

533
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 4: having to make settlements in court, and there's another case

534
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 4: coming up soon through all this process. Now, if you're

535
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 4: an athlete, you don't have to settle for any of this.

536
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: You can just keep suing your way through it and

537
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 4: until there is some sort of a CBA, until there

538
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 4: is some sort of a logical way that they come

539
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: to an agreement, nobody's beholding to anything.

540
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: So right now it's the wild West.

541
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 4: It truly is like one school can turn around in

542
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 4: this moment and say all right, well we want to

543
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: pay this much, and the next school can say we don't.

544
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 4: And one player can say I want this much, and

545
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 4: the next school can say, you know, the next player.

546
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: Can say I don't.

547
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 4: So it really becomes confusing for coaches for longevity. Like

548
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 4: right now, more than ever, I think college football is

549
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 4: living in a year to year world where this year

550
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 4: it's gonna look like this, and next year we're gonna

551
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: figure out what it looks like. We're gonna have to

552
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 4: be able to veer quickly there. I mean, this is

553
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 4: this is an ever evolving it'll settle down at some

554
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: point they'll come up with exactly what it looks like.

555
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: I think the courts will essentially do that for them.

556
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 4: But as that happens, you know, right now, think about

557
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: the nc double A. They're trying to deal with players

558
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 4: that want to get paid, coaches that don't know the landscape,

559
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: lawsuits all over the place, and Congress looking at them saying,

560
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: what the hell are you doing? Like, I don't even

561
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 4: the NCAA got themselves into this situation, but I don't

562
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 4: know how you dig yourself out.

563
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 3: No, I don't.

564
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you a world that I'm pretty familiar with.

565
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: I think it trickles down too, dude, Like I think

566
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna see the professionalization of the youth sports.

567
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: I mean it's wild in that I look and see what.

568
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: Like you know, the next frontier is high school, right,

569
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: and so there's all of a sudden.

570
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 5: In a lot of states in I L exists in

571
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 5: high school.

572
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: So I mean, right, and like you could see it,

573
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 3: like I see.

574
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 2: You know, we have a couple of powerhouse you know,

575
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: like every in every region, there's a couple of powerhouse

576
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: high school programs. We we have the Saint Joe's Prep,

577
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: uh here, which is Marvin Harrison junior went there, Jeremiah

578
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: Trotter junior went there. They have like a it's a

579
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 2: huge deal, right, and so they're going to get the

580
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: best kids.

581
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 3: Now, how long until they go? All right?

582
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: And in every other matter day right, every other big

583
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: high school program is probably going to follow suit. And

584
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you have all these young athletes.

585
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: It's a complete change of the landscape in all of sport.

586
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: When when college turns like this and becomes completely professionalized,

587
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: it just opens the door for the whole thing.

588
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

589
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 4: Well, when we are living in a society, he noticed

590
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 4: that in a world for once, Jade and rashatas suit

591
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 4: Florida for a failed fourteen million dollar nil deal. If

592
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 4: these guys are pulling in fourteen million dollar nil deals, yeah,

593
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 4: it only makes sense that at some point now it's

594
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 4: going to be Hey, I got to get my kid

595
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 4: into that high school because that high school has a

596
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: better shot at getting him the fourteen million dollar payday,

597
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 4: like the payday process is no longer going now. Maybe

598
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 4: the hope from the NCAA is that by coming to

599
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 4: this settlement and starting moving forward, they'll be able to

600
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: standardize a little of the money from school to school

601
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 4: to school, and they'll be able to get rid of

602
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: some of these huge collective deals.

603
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: We don't really know that yet, but if that is

604
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: what their hope is.

605
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: Still, if you're sitting here and you've got a seventh

606
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 4: grader somewhere and he's gonna go play, you want to

607
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: put him in a situation where he's gonna play in

608
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: high school somewhere where he has a shot at in

609
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: four years getting that fourteen million dollar deal, and also

610
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 4: not for nothing. It's got to take away some of

611
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 4: the love of the game at that age too. Like

612
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 4: if I'm a dad, not me personally, but there are

613
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 4: many dads out there that are gonna look at their

614
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 4: eighth grader and be like, I don't care what you

615
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 4: want to do with your life.

616
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: Right now, you are four years away from a fat.

617
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 3: Dollarder and a fifth grader who both play ball.

618
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: Right Like a little bit later on today, I'll go

619
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: with my Anthony.

620
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 3: He has his you know, we have a.

621
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: Jody Strength trainer for football and will go and work out.

622
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: Now he loves it. So it's not like I'm you know,

623
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: pushing to do that. But he you know, he wants

624
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: to play. He's going to a pretty really really good

625
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: program in South Jersey and you know he's got you know,

626
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: really good sides.

627
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 6: And the motivation just changes though once money gets involved

628
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 6: as opposed to that.

629
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 5: That's the thing, right, That's what it's just kind of

630
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 5: alluding to.

631
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 4: Yah, go back to my music. Look, I I wanted

632
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: to play there.

633
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: You were a product I wanted.

634
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a musician. There was never a

635
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: doubt of it.

636
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 4: But I have so many friends whose stage moms and

637
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: stage dads didn't even love performing, but man, they were

638
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 4: bringing him money. And there's a very real thing in

639
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 4: the music. Like I was earning when I was a kid. Right,

640
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: So if you're earning when you're twelve or thirteen years

641
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 4: old and your family all of a sudden in many families,

642
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 4: just wasn't the case for me, but many families like, well,

643
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: now mom or dad quits their job because they're gonna

644
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 4: they're gonna make sure that they're mamager or the dadager,

645
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 4: you know, and they're they're getting you ready, and then

646
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you really have this expectation and

647
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 4: now you're not just providing for yourself, you're providing for

648
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: your family.

649
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: And like, that's real for kids in the music business

650
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: all the time.

651
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 4: I just feel like that's gonna go through the roof

652
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: now where like little Tony somewhere might be a pretty

653
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: good quarterback that kind of likes.

654
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: Playing football, just wants to play for fun.

655
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 4: But the minute his dad figures out that there could

656
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 4: be an eight or nine million dollar payday, woo, all

657
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 4: of a sudden, it's like, nope, you will do this

658
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: and only this, Like I just there, there's trickle down

659
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: effect of this to.

660
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 5: Feel No Tom Marinovich is coming up, you know.

661
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean you saw the McCaffrey's father, right,

662
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: that whole thing about not allowing he couldn't squint because

663
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: it would take up I don't know energy, and he

664
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: could wear jeans.

665
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 6: The school didn't know it ed McCaffrey said that he

666
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 6: couldn't squint yescause Jeffrey, I didn't hear this story.

667
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 5: I missed this completely.

668
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there was. It was like he

669
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: had to go to bed in seven point thirty.

670
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: He had like little things like he he taught him

671
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: not to squint.

672
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: He taught him to save his voice.

673
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: I pat like all this stuff to save energy, down

674
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: to the point where he made him not he had

675
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: to only wear sweats, not jeans because jeans were heavy

676
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: on his legs. Jez, yes, yeah.

677
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 6: And the problem is, and it obviously worked out for

678
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 6: Christian and his brothers who had you know, we're the

679
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 6: good college careers too, But I feel like ninety percent

680
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 6: of the time is all over the top and it

681
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 6: ends up being bad for the kid.

682
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 3: Well you brought and yeah, you know, I mean, and

683
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 3: that's the ultimate.

684
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: That was the ultimate Tragy, right, Like he was a

685
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: wonder kid and he just went bad.

686
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 6: But it was like trained from like birth to try

687
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 6: to be the star quarterback by his father.

688
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: Right for you. I'm sorry for people that don't know

689
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: the story. You know. So Todd Marinovich was this kid.

690
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 2: Who was you know, you're like fig He's right, like

691
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,640

692
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: of any like childhood treats. Right, no soda, Donald's you know,

695
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess there's an argument to you know,

696
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: not allowing certain things.

697
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 6: You know.

698
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I can't. I can't front I mean,

699
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: I you know, I let them, I give them treats.

700
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I try to limit it within reason,

701
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: but you know, I mean, you know, how do you

702
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: tell kids, you know, you can't have ice cream?

703
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: Like seriously, like you know, I mean it shouldn't. Shouldn't

704
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 3: the childhood be a little bit of a fun time

705
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: before you have it you're an adult and you know,

706
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: you you have to get serious.

707
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 5: It's like what is a temple? And to a degree

708
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 5: it is. But when you're that young, you can eat

709
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 5: anything and bounce back. You'll be fine.

710
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's.

711
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 4: It's it's just tough because so often the adults get

712
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 4: carried away with the dream, you know, and it's it's really.

713
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 3: In dud I see it every day.

714
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 11: Man.

715
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like we need more people in the world that

716
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: are honest with the talent level of the kilt and

717
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 4: the kids that they have. It's like, you know what

718
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,319

724
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 2: in in this way. But you're you're spot on. But

725
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,480

747
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: talking about you know, sports, like like basketball, right, like

748
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 2: I see it all the time. Like you know, you

749
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 2: got the guys that are just insane about basketball, and

750
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 2: I go, you.

751
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,320

753
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: you know, fifth grade, sixth grade whatever, you know. I mean,

754
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 2: you know, there's a complete difference in elite talent, especially

755
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 2: just like basketball, but football and baseball of just the

756
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 2: team sports, and I guess you know soccer, I mean,

757
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: who knows. We have a kid in my area, Caven

758

Speaker 2: Sullivan who's fourteen years old. He gets signed by I

759
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 2: guess Man United or Man City and yeah he's going

760
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: to play because of the child labor laws in England,

764
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: It's it's a really good story.

765
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: But like baseball and football, I mean, who knows, Like

766
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 2: if you if you have size, such decent size and

767
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,319

770
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 2: right like, by all means have that because you don't

771
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,840

00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: know there's such the variables are you know, it's crazy,

773
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: right like when you're trying to project children like you

774
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: just don't know what's gonna happen until their sophomore junior year,

775
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,200

Speaker 1: never know.

779
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 4: And certainly there's a difference between you know, if you

780
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 4: say down and coaches, Yeah, he's he doesn't have what

781
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 4: it takes to play D one and it only fires

782
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 4: him up and he wants to play even more. Here

783
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 4: she wants to eat play even more. Okay, if he

784
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 4: loves doing it, if it's this competitive fire, that's fine.

785
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 4: If mom or dad is pushing him for it and

786
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 4: he doesn't really love it, and it's like but mom

787
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 4: and dad evince he's gonna get him rid, it's like

788
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 4: that's more than but you're one hundred percent right, Like

789
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: if heck, if they love it and they want to

790
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 4: do it, fine, But it just feels like that was

791
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 4: something that could be explored along with other things for

792
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 4: so many years. It's like, hey, you can play a

793
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 4: bunch of different sports and figure out what you want

794
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 4: to be and what you want to do, and you

795
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 4: have all these years to be formative. And for the

796
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 4: longest time you could in society look at you know,

797
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 4: college's formative years. Now, I honestly believe more and more

798
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 4: high school has become that. Like and I'm not even

799
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 4: just talking about sports, it doesn't matter what industry you're in.

800
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 4: Like at this point, kids are accelerating at such a

801
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 4: fast pace that it feels like more kids need to

802
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 4: know what they want to do earlier. More kids are

803
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 4: out there earning, building followings, doing whatever they do, earning money,

804
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 4: doing whatever they do at a younger age than ever.

805
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 4: They're they're able to whether it's playing video games or

806
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: whether it's I'm just in an athlete, like like you're

807
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 4: out there like building your following on Like we're in

808
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 4: the spot now where like now you know there are

809
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 4: kids in high school that are making more than adults

810
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 4: that are listening to this show, right, so there's less

811
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: and less time to actually figure that out. And I

812
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 4: just think the trickle down for college football becomes Okay, Well,

813
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 4: now if you identify that a kid's good in seventh grade, boy,

814
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 4: well you would have put the hammer down right then, like, hey,

815
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 4: this is your opportunity to change the rest of your life.

816
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 4: Like I can hear these speeches in my head right now,

817
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 4: and that's just it. It sort of bums me out.

818
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 3: And I get why.

819
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: I mean, because you're accelerating childhood, which is I don't

820
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 2: think healthy, right, And it's weird because you're while we

821
00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: accelerate childhood maturity levels are you know also do like

822
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: when you were an eighteen year old kid, like you

823
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: you know this, right, Like if you go back into

824
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 2: the sixties and seventies, right, like, an eighteen year old

825
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: man was more of a man than an eighteen year

826
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 2: old today, right, Like that true?

827
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 3: I mean those people were hard, and you know that's

828
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 3: certainly more than me.

829
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 2: Like we're talking, it's a World Day weekend and all

830
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: those you know, those men who fought for our country,

831
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: I mean they were eighteen nineteen and they were men, right,

832
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 2: And you know I wasn't like that in eighteen nineteen.

833
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 4: God, when you say it that way, it really hits

834
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 4: me how different the world was versus where the world

835
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 4: is right now, and the expectations of a kid that's sixteen, seventeen,

836
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 4: eighteen years old.

837
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 2: It's it's wild, completely wild, all right, fun discussion always

838
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: fell as Big Hour coming up next Fox Sports Radio.

00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 3: First hour all over.

847
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: Obviously, lots of talk about the college situation, college sports situation, NCAA,

848
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: which has always been a joke, a flat out nonsense,

849
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: ridiculous temple of nonsense.

850
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 3: And then.

851
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: The NBA Playoffs and that game last night was thrilling,

852
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: absolutely thrilling. I do have a question for you guys,

853
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: just philosophically, I was talking about the NBA Playoffs and

854
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: some friends and the whole thing, and nobody's nobody watches it,

855
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 2: and they were like no, like they gave me. They

856
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 2: were so dismissive, and I felt almost like an outcast

857
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: that I was watching, Like I was making a point.

858
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: The Phillies are off to this incredible start, and so

859
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: the whole city's grew in on the Phillies every pitch

860
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: and like they were winning.

861
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 3: I don't know, the other day, like eleven to three.

862
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: It was a blowout.

863
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 2: So I switched to the like I went switch to

864
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: the basketball game, and people are like, well really, I'm like, yeah,

865
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs are you guys watching them?

866
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: Nah?

867
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: No way, And it was really dismissive about it. And

868
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 2: you know what's interesting is that, I guess back in

869
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 2: the day, the World Series was like this, you know,

870
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 2: communal thing where.

871
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 3: The whole country would stop and watch.

872
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 2: Now then that gets replaced spy NFL football in the

873
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 2: Super Bowl by the NBA doesn't have that as as

874
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: much as we talk about its popularity.

875
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: Do you guys run into that too?

876
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 1: H I mean, it's funny.

877
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 4: I do a weekly interview with a radio station in

878
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 4: Nashville every week, and the crux of the interview last

879
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 4: week was why are so many people talking about the

880
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 4: NBA when nobody cares on the ESPN. That was the

881
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 4: crux of the entire time that we spent talking on

882
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 4: the phone, or was nobody's paying attention to it.

883
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: Here's here's the interesting thing.

884
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 4: My NBA had friends and I enjoy watching it, right

885
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 4: Like I think for me, I enjoy playoff basketball.

886
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: I always have. So for me, it's it's it's a

887
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: draw for a lot of people.

888
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 4: It just when when you look at this final four,

889
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 4: and this is where everybody yells and screams about what

890
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 4: gets covered in how it gets covered. But when you

891
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 4: look at these final four teams, I don't think your

892
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 4: average fan that barely cares about the NBA that usually

893
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 4: would be flocking in to watch the final four teams

894
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: of the NBA season take each other on. I'm not

895
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 4: sure any of them even have a formed opinion about

896
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 4: Indiana or Minnesota. They know who Luca is, but they

897
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 4: probably don't care about Dallas. And the Celtics are great,

898
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 4: and they're only in the sense that they're either loved

899
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 4: or hated and people care, But that's not enough to

900
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 4: make people drop everything to watch in the modern society.

901
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 4: I just I do think that this part of what

902
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 4: the NBA has to have happen, and we see this

903
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 4: all the time, is that when we create and craft

904
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 4: narratives that say, essentially, you've got to be great in

905
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 4: the playoffs, well, the next generation of stars always have

906
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 4: to be made in the playoffs. So it's gonna take

907
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 4: you know, Brown and Tatum winning a championship on their backs.

908
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 4: It's gonna take Anthony Edwards doing something absolutely phenomenal. It's

909
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 4: Haliburton doing something that suddenly resonates and you have to

910
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 4: hear it over and over and over again in playoff

911
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 4: game and playoff games to create a real level of superstar.

912
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 4: And we haven't seen that happen yet in this group

913
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: of players. So it just feels like it falls flat

914
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 4: to the casuals.

915
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: You know.

916
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 2: It's weird is that I hear like nobody cares about

917
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: the regular season, and then I hear, well, you know

918
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: who's watching the NBA playoffs?

919
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: Like like I'm thinking, well, what does anybody care?

920
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 4: But then they're getting historic money on these network deals, right,

921
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 4: So like somebody's looking around and saying, Okay, well, there's

922
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 4: there's proof, there's proof positive that it can make money,

923
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 4: But no, I do I think in general, and I'm

924
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 4: saying this is somebody again who's enjoyed the NBA playoffs

925
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 4: this year and enjoys playoff basketball, I feel like some

926
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 4: of the allure right now is just it's in a

927
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 4: little bit of a lull. It's just it's a little

928
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 4: bit of a lull to the casual fan just flocking

929
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 4: to talk about it, and yeah, this is the expected.

930
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: Lull when Steph and Lebron and the guys that we've

931
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: been talking about.

932
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 2: You think it's clearly about that, like you think it's

933
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 2: it's about I mean, just the leg.

934
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 4: The league built there, the entire popularity on the names

935
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 4: on the back, not the names on the front, and

936
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 4: totally the opposite of the NFL.

937
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: So if you're going to build a highlight driven league,

938
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: and I've said this.

939
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 4: To you guys before, but I remember when I first

940
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 4: started hosting Sports Center on Snapchat.

941
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: When that first I was one of the first hosts

942
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: of that show.

943
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 4: We learned quickly in the very beginning that because we

944
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 4: could see our metrics every day exactly when kids were

945
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 4: tuning out. We learned immediately that what kids cared about,

946
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 4: they didn't even care about the score, they didn't care

947
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 4: about the story of the game. They cared about the

948
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 4: oh my god, this guy did this great thing. So

949
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 4: the whole show was built on those individual highlights because

950
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 4: kids thirteen to twenty four only wanted to see individual

951
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 4: highlights from great players, So we made sure we focused

952
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 4: on that every night. That's why the numbers ballooned on

953
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 4: that show. So I look at that and I say, Okay,

954
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 4: if you're going to build your entire sport based on man,

955
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 4: you've got to see this at the time, Lonzo ball highlight.

956
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: As as crazy as that sounds, but if you're going

957
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: to build it on you've got to see this.

958
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 4: Highlight from this guy. You better have a constant group

959
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 4: of guys that are always coming in, that are always interesting.

960
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 4: The kids are gonna want to flock to watch. And

961
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 4: if you don't have that, then if you're building your

962
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 4: sport based on the popularity of the individual more so

963
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 4: than the popularity of the team, you better have individuals

964
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 4: at every level that are interesting.

965
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 2: It's fascinating fig yeah, you know, And the circles that

966
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 2: I ran in it's growing up, we were all such

967
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: hoopheads that it didn't necessarily matter.

968
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 6: And many of my same friends when that's those circles

969
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 6: still a watch a random NBA game on a Tuesday night.

970
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 6: But I think the greater you know, country, and just

971
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 6: the way things people look at it is, Yeah, if

972
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 6: the players are not gonna take and organizations to a

973
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 6: certain degree are not gonna take the regular season seriously,

974
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 6: why would you ask the fans to so?

975
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people end up tuning it out.

976
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 6: Like I look, we've talked about on this show about

977
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 6: regular season basketball, and Fits brought up the fact that

978
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 6: Eve enjoys the playoffs but not so much the regular season.

979
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 6: I'll watch the regular season for sure, but I certainly

980
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 6: understand that the majority of people don't. And the more

981
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 6: and more you let allow apathy to set in for

982
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 6: the regular season. And on top of the fact that

983
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,479
Speaker 6: you don't have a domestic superstar like we were talking

984
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 6: about and trying to basically manufacture it right now with

985
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 6: Anthony Edwards, you know, I think that's another factor that

986
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 6: gets thrown in there too. I think there's apathy that

987
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 6: sets in with the playoffs as well to a certain degree.

988
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: I mean, let's oversimplify this, guys.

989
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 4: If you walked into a bar tonight in a non

990
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 4: NBA city, If you just walked into a bar tonight

991
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 4: in you know whatever, Topeka, Kansas, right, and you're hanging

992
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 4: out with your buddies in Tapeka, Kansas, and you turn

993
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 4: around and you look at and you're like, oh, man, Now,

994
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 4: over the course of the last several years, you've been

995
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 4: able to see did you see what Steph did last night?

996
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 4: And people know who he is? It took a minute

997
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 4: for all of the Warriors greatness, people know, Oh do

998
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 4: you see what Lebron did last night? Those are real conversations.

999
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 4: Do you think you're walking into a random sports bar

1000
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 4: in a non NBA city city or a random bar

1001
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 4: in a non NBA city saying man, Luca versus an

1002
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 4: did you see that? Like that's not gonna resonate, that's

1003
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 4: just doesn't even sing it it does.

1004
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 3: Hello.

1005
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm sorry that staff for a second. Yeah no,

1006
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 2: I It's it's so fascinating the way the way you

1007
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 2: say that, you know, I feel you could it be

1008
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: that the n b A had its moment like I

1009
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 2: don't you know, it was a deadly Jordan's like saves

1010
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 2: it resuscitate, it then goes into a slumber again. Right

1011
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: Like post Jordan, you got Kobe Shack right and and

1012
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: then and then you have it with Lebron and Steph

1013
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 2: in a big way. But there's been periods where it

1014
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: was League of slumber. It could we be back to that.

1015
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 6: It hasn't been for a while though, I guess is

1016
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 6: the problem to your point, you just talked about the

1017
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 6: linea just that's a thirty year span right there. That's

1018
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 6: a generation of basketball.

1019
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 2: But there was a dip after Jordan, Like we it's

1020
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 2: it's hard for me to talk about.

1021
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 3: No, I don't know.

1022
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 5: Now you covered the league at the time too, so.

1023
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like it's hard for me, Like it's one

1024
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 2: thing for me to say, wow, you know Kobe Shack

1025
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 2: the Iverson because it was it was big in my circles,

1026
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: in my region and everything else.

1027
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 5: Iverson.

1028
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 6: I think it was big nationally for sure, you know,

1029
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 6: I would saying especially for kids in the inner city

1030
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 6: and all that. He definitely had had a huge mark

1031
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 6: on the league nationwide.

1032
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 3: But was it like was it the Massies? Did it

1033
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 3: have the audience?

1034
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 2: Like clearly Lebron. Now, Lebron's in the league of a

1035
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: long time now, right, But Lebron and like, I think

1036
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 2: there's a there is a certain dip, Like if i'm

1037
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 2: we have a float, like if we have a chart,

1038
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: I think the iraw goes down after Jordan and then

1039
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 2: shoots up and then exceeds Jordan.

1040
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 3: With Lebron and Steph.

1041
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 6: I'd agree if you're talking about, like in a global appeal,

1042
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 6: you haven't as good as Shaq and Kobe Ward. They

1043
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 6: didn't have the global appeal that Lebron and Steph Curry do.

1044
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 6: That is that is one hundred percent true. I'll give

1045
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 6: you that. And I think Lebron but on top of

1046
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 6: his grapes go on.

1047
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 4: It takes greatness in championships to get that though, right

1048
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 4: And like so this is the Tiger debate all over again, right,

1049
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 4: Like how do you get the next Tiger? Well, somebody's

1050
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 4: got to be as good as Tiger. This is the

1051
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 4: thing that we talk about all the time, even in baseball. Like, so,

1052
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 4: if the NBA wants the next Lebron, sep part of

1053
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 4: the reason, because figure, you're right, like, there's a long

1054
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 4: period of time where we've had those stars but we've

1055
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 4: also had a group of stars that have been great

1056
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 4: for a very long time. So now that they're all

1057
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 4: getting long in the tooth, it's gonna take one of

1058
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 4: these younger guys going on a run, right like fire,

1059
00:51:58,719 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 4: It's gonna take somebody.

1060
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm winning a bunch of chips to get to

1061
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: that point, or at least competing for a bunch.

1062
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 6: Of yah, someone like Jason Tatum has to like get

1063
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 6: to the finals and win a couple of championships or

1064
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 6: something like that. You know, one of those sorts of players,

1065
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 6: and it just has it doesn't seem to be on

1066
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 6: the verge of happening. To be honest, even I still

1067
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 6: don't have confidence in Boston. I think Anthony brought that

1068
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 6: up earlier. The best players, the faces of the league

1069
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 6: right now, are foreign born players. They're not domestic players,

1070
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 6: and I think that to a certain degree, it's maybe

1071
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 6: not a great degree, but I think that that doesn't

1072
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 6: help the NBA's calls either.

1073
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 4: Isn't it wild though, that the very thing that we

1074
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 4: say makes the NFL beautiful is it every year you

1075
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 4: have no idea who could win the dang thing every

1076
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 4: single year, and yet the conversation last week about can

1077
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 4: you be a back to back champion in the NBA anymore?

1078
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: Probably not, Like the league's not really built for that.

1079
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 4: That seems to be a detriment for what the NBA

1080
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 4: needs to accomplish right now, while it is at the

1081
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 4: same time one of the very strengths that make people

1082
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 4: flock to the NFL.

1083
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: I can't make it make sense to just is what

1084
00:52:59,280 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: it is.

1085
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 6: Its little sense because I someone who's a parody guy.

1086
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 6: I'm parody in the NFL. I'm parody in the NBA.

1087
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 6: I love competition, I love not knowing who's gonna win.

1088
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm the minority in that. But we

1089
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 6: talk we've talked about towards the end of the regular

1090
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 6: season in the NBA just how competitive it's, specifically the

1091
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 6: Western Conference was, and he said, we can make an

1092
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 6: argument one through eight that any of these teams can

1093
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 6: end up making it to the NBA Finals, and every

1094
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 6: set three and five are the ones facing each other

1095
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 6: in the conference final. So if you're just a pure

1096
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 6: basketball fan that just enjoys the league, you enjoy it.

1097
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 6: But if you're a casual and you want to you

1098
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 6: feel good knowing all right, I got Denver in the

1099
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 6: conference finals, you know, against another you know, another superstar player.

1100
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 5: It's weird. The metric is very much different in the

1101
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 5: NBA than it is in the NFL.

1102
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe maybe it's just the NFL. And listen,

1103
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 2: you know we've seen baseball drop off out. It's coming back,

1104
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 2: come back for sure the last couple of years. Like

1105
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 2: you and I think the rule changes help it. And

1106
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 2: you listen, I'm like, I'm square in a baseball city

1107
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 2: right now. So oh yeah, you know, like they're they're

1108
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 2: loving it. Man. It's like I've never seen a staate

1109
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 2: Like it's May and there's forty one thousand people and

1110
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 2: you're singing, dancing, and you know, it's just they're.

1111
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 3: In every pitch. It's bizarre, like it's unbelievable.

1112
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 2: But you know, it's so funny, like the all roads

1113
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: go always go back to football and football's dominance and

1114
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 2: hold on the American public.

1115
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, which it's got to be frustrating, I'm just saying,

1116
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 4: got to be frustrating for every other.

1117
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: Sport to look at it and say, but we're doing

1118
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: the same thing and it's not working.

1119
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 2: No, no, And again, it's funny because you know, like

1120
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 2: that was a great game last night, and I do

1121
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 2: you know, obviously we're going to talk about it, but

1122
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 2: it's not.

1123
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 3: Like it drives the conversation four hours.

1124
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: Now.

1125
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 3: I get, I'm doing this a long time.

1126
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 2: And there was always like the four hour topics, right,

1127
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 2: like if you're the typical radio shift, it's four hours

1128
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 2: and you have this.

1129
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 3: There's always like, you know, like we.

1130
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 2: Could talk super Ball, right, we could talk NFL playoffs easy,

1131
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 2: you know, these big stories, but like watching a playoff

1132
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 2: game last night, it's hey, how about that shot Luca

1133
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 2: to get a little nuance and.

1134
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 3: Then you know, move on.

1135
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't think the biggest difference for all

1136
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 4: of that is if we tried to sit here and

1137
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 4: talk about Luca versus Aunt for four hours, people would

1138
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 4: listen to about eight minutes of it and then they

1139
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 4: be gone. Right, But if we sat here and we

1140
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 4: wanted to talk about the super Bowl for four hours,

1141
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 4: people would flock to it. And I don't know how

1142
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 4: you change that. But I can't tell you this, Like

1143
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 4: as much as I hate it, and it might my

1144
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 4: friends and I joke about it all the time, as

1145
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 4: much as I hate it, you can say I don't.

1146
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: Know Michael or Lebron, and people will flock to that

1147
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: for four hours. I don't know why. I don't know why.

1148
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 4: Like people will have that argument about legacy all day long,

1149
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 4: even though everybody rolls their eyes at it. The phone

1150
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 4: lines would light up and we could take the day

1151
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 4: off basically. So you know, it's a weird thing that

1152
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 4: they just the league's got to find somebody at this point.

1153
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: It just takes time.

1154
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 4: Is somebody's gonna have to become as polarizing an opinion

1155
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 4: or as great in stature as the Lebron era has

1156
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 4: been for that same level of care to come in.

1157
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's what it is. The NBA is star driven.

1158
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 6: They need a player or a couple of players to

1159
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 6: carry the mantle and bring some excitement and bring the

1160
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 6: fans in. The NFL is just the league itself. It

1161
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 6: doesn't matter. The league is the star. So look, scoring

1162
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 6: has been down to the NFL the last couple of seasons.

1163
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 6: Look at the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs for

1164
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 6: eighty percent of last season that couldn't score to save

1165
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 6: their lives. Didn't matter, Still end up winning, Still end

1166
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 6: up getting a lot of highly rated primetime games. They

1167
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 6: when they say the NFL is king, it is the

1168
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 6: NFL in any facet good football, bad football. It's football,

1169
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 6: and it's always going to win. The league wins, doesn't

1170
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 6: matter who the individuals are. And for the NBA it's different. Mark,

1171
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 6: You have a thought, buddy, Mark, just.

1172
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 12: Listening about just observation about basketball. It seems like no

1173
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 12: one has been able to live up to a good

1174
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 12: reputation most of the teams or so basketball has dropped

1175
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 12: down when it comes to okay, load management, so people

1176
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 12: you know, the good players or players aren't there, they

1177
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 12: don't play, and that you set aside for injury, but

1178
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 12: just that the players aren't holding up and teams aren't

1179
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 12: holding up to any kind of reputation that they either

1180
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 12: used to have from older players or current players to

1181
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 12: be able to sustain their team and their name. You

1182
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 12: could be individuals, but your team has been able to

1183
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 12: bring the masses and hold their attention enough. And so

1184
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 12: basketball overall has dropped down a couple pegs.

1185
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 3: Well, and that is spoken like a man from Chicago.

1186
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 3: That's spoken like a man who was raised with Jordan

1187
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 3: Fritzy just said it.

1188
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 2: You could have the argument right Lebron versus Jordan, and

1189
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 2: Mark's basically saying that I said.

1190
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 4: Quickly, I'll say this. Had a friend on radio a

1191
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 4: few years ago who, as a joke, teased, you know,

1192
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 4: Lebron versus MJ, who's the actual gun, throw out the

1193
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 4: phone number because he didn't know what they were talking about.

1194
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: On the next segment. The phones lit up and they

1195
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: never stopped for the entire show, and it became a joke.

1196
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 4: It became a running joke that he's like, anytime I

1197
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 4: don't know what I'm gonna say, I'll just say Lebron

1198
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 4: versus MJ.

1199
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: And I can sit back and know I can take

1200
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: the next segment off. And he was never wrong, never wrong.

1201
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 2: Well, and you could say it, and you could say

1202
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 2: seventeen different ways, you know, to like the true goat,

1203
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 2: the real goat, like you know, it's so it's it's crazy,

1204
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 2: It truly, it truly is. All right, we gotta take

1205
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 2: quick too, We'll come right back. And I love the

1206
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: aspect and I'm curious it is college football, well college football,

1207
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 2: especially with the expanded playoffs. I got it pretty excited

1208
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 2: looking at that schedule. Uh, can it take that leap

1209
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 2: to where the NFL is I'm curious what you guys think.

1210

Speaker 2: show posted right after we get off the air. So

1218
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 2: let me ask you guys a question about college football.

1219
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 2: And you know, we know how big it is, but

1220
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 2: now it's actually with a true playoff system, it can

1221
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 2: expand beyond the pockets where college football's king right and

1222
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 2: the cities that are really pro cities. Do you think

1223
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 2: it goes and it starts to almost I don't want

1224
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 2: to say rivally I the rival the NFL, but it's

1225
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: in that pantheon where you know you're going to have

1226
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 2: a real playoff system. It's you know it's gonna be,

1227
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 2: you know, big from a mag the two standpoint, will

1228
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 2: it come close to the NFL?

1229
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 8: No?

1230
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to.

1231
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 4: But the funny thing is you can't change certain wiring

1232
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 4: for people in my mind, like it takes a long

1233
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 4: time for people to suddenly fall in love with a sport,

1234
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 4: Like the number of times I've heard, like I've been

1235
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 4: in this business at a full time level for eight

1236
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 4: years at this point, and the number of times I've heard,

1237
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 4: oh my god, look around the corner of soccer is

1238
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 4: about to take over, right And you know, I'm not

1239
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 4: saying that soccer isn't growing, it is, but his soccer

1240
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 4: taken over? Like are we tuning into morning shows across

1241
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 4: the country to hearing soccer takes now? Like it's so

1242
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 4: hard to get a new generation of fans to love it.

1243
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 4: And I say that having spent so much time over

1244
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 4: the last few years of my life in New England

1245
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 4: and being stunned at how little that area cares about

1246
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 4: college football just on the whole. I've told this story before,

1247
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 4: but I've or when I first went up to Bristol, Connecticut,

1248
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 4: and I was going up there, and I was at

1249
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 4: the time, I wasn't full time at ESPN.

1250
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: I was just going up to meet with people. And

1251
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: I went into a Buffalo Wild Wings that's like two.

1252
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 4: Minutes from campus at ESPN, and I walked in and

1253
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 4: there was a huge college football game going on, and

1254
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 4: I asked if they would turn it on, and it

1255
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 4: was like a Saturday in December, and the answer I

1256
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 4: got was no, like flat out the managers just like

1257
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 4: no man, nobody in the bar cares about that. And

1258
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 4: they were playing repeats of like old hockey games and

1259
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 4: repeating baseball games.

1260
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: I promise you, and it goes somewhere else to watch

1261
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: a football game.

1262
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 4: And I was like, well, that must be the rarity now.

1263
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 4: It is so hard on any given Saturday in that

1264
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 4: area to walk in and just find random games. So

1265
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 4: it is there are certain parts of the country that

1266
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 4: just have this mindset that I don't want to watch

1267
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 4: an inferior football product. I only watch the NFL because

1268
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 4: they didn't grow up around the passion of college football.

1269
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 4: And I don't know how you turn those fans into

1270
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 4: passionate college football lovers.

1271
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that anything does that quickly.

1272
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 6: It would quickly, No, I think it would have to

1273
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 6: be some something revolutionary. I'll go back to use La

1274
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 6: as an example. It was a Dodger town for so long,

1275
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 6: and Jerry Buzz purchased the Lakers from Jack Kent Cook

1276
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 6: in the seventies and they had a bit of a

1277
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 6: lull before Maggie Johnson came in and Jerry Buss introduced

1278
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 6: the Laker Girls and made everything into an event, and

1279
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 6: it never turned from a Dodgertown to a Lakertown. But

1280
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 6: the Lakers finally kind of elbowed their way into the market.

1281
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 6: So now you can say the Dodgers are one A

1282
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 6: and the Lakers are one B, and that can interchange

1283
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 6: depending on the season. It would take some sort of

1284
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 6: sensation of some sort of ground swell, a superstar player, coach,

1285
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 6: multiple championships, something like that for that to sort of

1286
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 6: make a dent, especially in a place like that where

1287
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 6: it's been ingrained for so long we're talking decades at

1288
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 6: this point in time. Can't It's possible, but it's just

1289
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 6: not likely because you're talking about once in a generation

1290
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 6: type stuff that would need to happen in order for

1291
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 6: something like that's a flip that way.

1292
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 4: But phe let me, let me let me ask you this,

1293
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 4: because we talked about the inconsistencies of the way we

1294
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 4: receive certain things from different sports, why is it that

1295
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 4: multiple championships from the Warriors becomes this endearing, Oh my

1296
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 4: god thing that we we can't believe.

1297
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: And then we see an.

1298
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 4: Era of dominance in Alabama and the coverage is, well,

1299
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 4: is this really bad? Like is Alabama's dominance bad for

1300
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 4: the sport overall?

1301
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 2: Right?

1302
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 4: Like, it is funny to me that we sort of

1303
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 4: pick and choose when we like dominance and personality, because certainly,

1304
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 4: do you have bigger personalities than we've had with Harbaugh

1305
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 4: and Nick Saban and the level of dominance that we've

1306
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 4: seen from certain programs just hasn't It doesn't resonate that

1307
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 4: the conversation isn't Oh my god, I can't believe we

1308
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 4: are watching this historic era of Georgia football or whatever.

1309
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 4: It turns around instead and it's like, you know, the

1310
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 4: SEC socks Like it's just it's funny how the reception

1311
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 4: is different of dominance.

1312
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not wrong, And it could be a regional

1313
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 6: thing too when it comes to college full because it's

1314
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 6: just such a it's an SEC and I'm a big

1315
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 6: ten guy and I'm a pac twelve guy, and I'm

1316
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 6: a you know, so.

1317
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look at LA right, look at your

1318
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 2: area figure you always talk about it ATC is bigger

1319
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 2: than the rams.

1320
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 6: Oh easily without and that was gonna be the next example, Like,

1321
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 6: can you is anything bigger than the NFL. It's like

1322
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 6: when USC is good, they're bigger than the Rams easily,

1323
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:22,959
Speaker 6: And it's without question.

1324
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 4: That's funny to me, just because again, growing up in

1325
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 4: Vegas as a kid, UNLV football, despite the fact that

1326
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 4: we had Icky Woods and Randall cunning out, was never

1327
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 4: it never really transcended. It was UNLV basketball town, right,

1328
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 4: So I grew up not really caring that much about

1329
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 4: college football in Vegas, and then when I moved to

1330
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 4: the East Coast, you know, they didn't care about it there.

1331
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 4: I went to I finished high school in Maryland, right,

1332
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 4: Like nobody was clamoring for University of Maryland football in

1333
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 4: the nineties. Like it just wasn't a thing, right, So

1334
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 4: you piece all that together. It wasn't until I moved

1335
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 4: to Nashville that it was like, oh my god, this

1336
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 4: it's different. This is a way of life, this is

1337
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 4: a this is a general rational cooked in I've been

1338
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 4: watching these games my entire life with my grandpa, and like,

1339
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 4: this is this is what our family does on Saturdays

1340
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 4: in the tradition, and all of the things that I've

1341
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 4: fallen in love with and covering it. But I don't

1342
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 4: know how you get those generations of passion to come

1343
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 4: together in an area that you know, if you're talking.

1344
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: About New England, you're like, yeah, what are you rooting

1345
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: for Boston College?

1346
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, what is what's even up there

1347
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 6: Boston other than Boston College. Well, it's interesting because you

1348
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 6: have that whole Carter. Right, So it's not just New England.

1349
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 6: New York doesn't care about college football right at all? Right,

1350
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 6: Philadelphia doesn't care about college football?

1351
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 3: Right? You know Penn State is closer to Pittsburgh.

1352
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not really Philadelphia.

1353
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 3: Right. You mentioned Maryland and d C.

1354
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 2: Right, so you have the entire Northeast down to the

1355
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 2: mid Atlantic states that don't like But now Chicago loves

1356
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 2: college football. Go was Notre Dame, you know, Chicago loves

1357
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 2: it obviously Texas, right, So Dallas so.

1358
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 6: Just has its own niche in there with with the

1359
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 6: Cowboys two and ut they both are kind of popular.

1360
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 5: In their own way.

1361
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 3: It's right, like George, I mean, Georgia is bigger than

1362
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 3: the Falcons.

1363
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the Falcons are barely a blip.

1364
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 4: And yeah, once you get into the south once you

1365
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 4: once you hit the south of the Mason Dixon line,

1366
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 4: it's different. But also, like as you speak, Anthony, it

1367
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 4: makes me think of how many other like Okay, Idaho,

1368
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 4: you know, Montana, I know they care about the you know,

1369
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 4: put less be Real, New Mexico, Arizona.

1370
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: How many of those places are clamoring for college football Saturdays.

1371
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 4: They love the NFL, but they're not going to have

1372
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 4: a program that they tie into in their area that

1373
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 4: that is going to compete for a national championship.

1374
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 11: More.

1375
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 2: I just had the opposite kind of reaction, which is

1376
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 2: when we're going through the country, it's really just the northeast,

1377
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 2: Like there's three people in Idaho, God bless you.

1378
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 3: Right, you know, it's it's not heavily popular.

1379
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 5: But then I did the University of Idaho go down

1380
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 5: to FCS this past year?

1381
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 3: Did that happen? I mean, but okay, but I mean

1382
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 3: the Boise think the blue field is a big deal. Yeah,

1383
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 3: you know, I mean we think.

1384
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 4: That Montana, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, South Dakota, and North

1385
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 4: Dakota are those places clamoring for big time?

1386
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 1: Like are they gonna Saturday?

1387
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 6: I think they're I think they're involved, you think, yeah,

1388
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 6: because more they're more connected to their college programs than

1389
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 6: any NFL teams.

1390
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 5: I just don't have them, right, Yeah.

1391
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,640
Speaker 4: But their college program is never going to be like

1392
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 4: Montana obviously doesn't even have a shot at it, but

1393
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 4: like Wyoming, North Cota, South Dkota also, like we're talking

1394
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 4: about places that don't even really have a shot at

1395
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 4: being a part of what is happening there. So whatever

1396
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 4: they're I'm not saying they're not. Like Idah is a

1397
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 4: great example. Boise State has a rabid, amazing fan base

1398
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 4: that is incredible.

1399
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: But is that going to translate across the country. Boise

1400
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: State isn't going to have a shot at the national

1401
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: championship anytime soon?

1402
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 3: I don't know me Because the sport itself, people love

1403
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 3: the sport.

1404
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,640
Speaker 2: And then you go everywhere else in the country, but

1405
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:18,799
Speaker 2: again the Northeast, mid Atlantic side, Detroit, Okay, you got Michigan,

1406
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 2: your lines in Michigan, righto.

1407
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 3: Ohio, right, it was about to just go through that.

1408
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: Passionate.

1409
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 2: I mean there, you go all around the country, and

1410
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 2: you know, college football has its has its staples, you know,

1411
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 2: I don't know other than and again, other than that

1412
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 2: one block in the Northeast and mid Atlantic.

1413
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 6: Well, then I guess what the initial question was, will

1414
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 6: it surpass I believe your question was the rival or.

1415
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll reach the kid because it's football and because

1416
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 2: it's the highest and we're just talking about now paying

1417
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 2: players and you know, all of a sudden, now I

1418
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,680
Speaker 2: don't know, like how how does how does this all

1419
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 2: affect you know, bowl games? Right?

1420
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 3: Like, so now you expand playoffs.

1421
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 2: So now all of a sudden, you know guys who

1422
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 2: are juniors who didn't want to play in a ball

1423
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 2: because they're going to come out and declare for the draft.

1424
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 3: Now you're getting paid, So now there's no hurry to

1425
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:22,839
Speaker 3: get to the NFL.

1426
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:25,919
Speaker 1: That is it is interesting.

1427
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 4: I mean I've made the argument a few times that

1428
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 4: I think the payment process, especially for positions like running back,

1429
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 4: could keep guys in longer. I keep hearing, no guys

1430
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 4: want to get in to get closer to their first contract.

1431
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:41,560
Speaker 4: I think for college sports in general, the longer some

1432
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 4: of these kids stay, the more likely you are to

1433
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 4: have the groundswell you're talking about, because people fall in

1434
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 4: love with Caitlyn Clark's a great example, like, yes, you

1435
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 4: got to have time to fall in love with somebody.

1436
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Right Like.

1437
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 4: I think that we've seen that that worked, and it's

1438
01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 4: particularly working in women's college basketball because the rivalries build,

1439
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 4: and as we said at the time, like it takes

1440
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 4: Caitlyn and Angel sticking around long enough for Kitlyn and

1441
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 4: Angel to have history for Caitlyn and Angel to be

1442
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 4: such a huge story for sports in general. I think

1443
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 4: sticking around is a small piece of what happens you are,

1444
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:16,919
Speaker 4: right though, And it is interesting.

1445
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: I wonder what.

1446
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 4: Happens when guys are getting paid and I hadn't thought

1447
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 4: about this, and then all of a sudden, you're playing

1448
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 4: in the Music City Bowl. That may not be part

1449
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 4: of the playoff process at all, but man, you're getting

1450
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 4: paid and it's a bowl game, so you're gonna get

1451
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 4: out there and play, even if it means it could

1452
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 4: hurt your draft stock, right Like, So that's going to

1453
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 4: be really interesting to me.

1454
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,560
Speaker 1: I'd never thought about what happens in those situations.

1455
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, And there was a report I saw, I don't

1456
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 6: know if it was last month, and I forget exactly

1457
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 6: which publication had it that some of these nil deals

1458
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 6: might have it written in that if a school makes

1459
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 6: a bowl game, contractually, the player will be obligated to

1460
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 6: play unless they're hurt. Now, how that works if they

1461
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 6: breached that contract or they just pay money and some

1462
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 6: of them want to be willing to a here, take

1463
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 6: five hundred grand back, I'm not playing. I doubt a

1464
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:02,560
Speaker 6: few of them will be able to be willing to

1465
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 6: do that. But that's certainly a wrinkle that you can

1466
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,600
Speaker 6: throw into it. They basically saying, if you signed an

1467
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 6: nil contract, I'm expecting you to play in every single

1468
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 6: game that you're healthy to play in.

1469
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, especially now with this settlement.

1470
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 4: I mean, this settlement paves a way to to make

1471
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 4: it very clearly essentially as part of your job's correct

1472
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 4: Like this is that moment of kids are going to

1473
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 4: be getting paid to play football. So if you don't

1474
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 4: play football, there should be some sort of recourse to

1475
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 4: that that that that'll be really interesting because I'm not

1476
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 4: sure as much as kid wants that money, when you

1477
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 4: know you were a few months away from being drafted, boy,

1478
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 4: I'm not sure you want to put that risk on

1479
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 4: your body for you know, the.

1480
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 2: I don't know the dude, you know, part of it's

1481
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 2: the agent too. Talent, I'm talent I'm talent. I'm like, no, no, no,

1482
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 2: don't play.

1483
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 6: You know, I certainly understand it. I mean we always did.

1484
01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 6: The big example is always going to be Jalen Smith

1485
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 6: in that Orange Bowl.

1486
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 3: You know.

1487
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think I don't know.

1488
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 3: It's it's a great it's a great debate, it's a

1489
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:08,839
Speaker 3: great conversation. Actually.

1490
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 4: Well, and and look, if you're one of the if

1491
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 4: you're the Lawnmower Sasparillo whatever Bowl like, or if you're

1492
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 4: the Snoop Dog Bowl, like the Snoop span for the

1493
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 4: stars to play, so like the sponsors want that, I

1494
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 4: think it becomes very interesting because this is just part

1495
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 4: of the evolution of the sport. But also, and I've

1496
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 4: said this before to you guys, I think this is

1497
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 4: going to be the wildest, most exciting year we've ever

1498
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 4: seen in college football because we have no idea like this.

1499
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 4: This ex playoff and this expanded playoff is is going

1500
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 4: to the eyeball should be absolutely through the roof.

1501
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 1: And I'm one like that, why hate it?

1502
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 4: But like, to me, if you're telling me that we're

1503
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 4: gonna get Ohio State Michigan in the game and then

1504
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 4: Ohio State Michigan in the Big Ten Championship game because

1505
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 4: of the realignment, and then somehow, some way we get

1506
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 4: Ohio State Michigan again in the in the playoff.

1507
01:13:58,600 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that.

1508
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 4: If if it's two of the best teams in the

1509
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 4: country and I get to see him three times, like,

1510
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 4: I'm all in for that.

1511
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't care if I see the Raiders play the

1512
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: Chargers in the regular season in the playoffs like I

1513
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: want this.

1514
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 4: So I might be the outlier, but I think all

1515
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 4: of this creates what could be the wildest season in

1516
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 4: sports we've ever seen.

1517
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, dude, I think it's incredible.

1518
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: I do.

1519
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 2: Coming up, we'll give you this schedule. Did you guys

1520

01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:25,080

Speaker 4: a triple header of games on December twenty first, where

1544
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,799
Speaker 4: there'll be a Fellas that day, obviously because it's a Saturday,

1545
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 4: but also the league, the NFL, decided to put two.

1546
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 1: NFL games on that day.

1547
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 4: Like just one of the most stunning things to me

1548
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 4: that was sort of lost in the developments of the

1549
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 4: schedule release for the NFL is that, knowing that they

1550
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 4: were getting the first ever college football expanded playoff, did

1551
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 4: not stay away from that Saturday. They still put two

1552
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 4: games on Saturday, December twenty, first Houston at Kansas City

1553
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 4: and Pittsburgh at Baltimore. They put two good games on Saturday,

1554
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,679
Speaker 4: just to make sure that they remind college football where

1555
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,719
Speaker 4: their place is in society. Like that is a brazen,

1556
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 4: bold move by the NFL.

1557
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so let me ask you guys, now the eight

1558
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 3: and go.

1559
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 2: Now, you know there's going to be a prime time game,

1560
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 2: so they left the prime time game for college football.

1561
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 2: Usually they do four point thirty and at eight o'clock

1562
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 2: right right, And they did when we're playing at one

1563
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 2: and four thirty. Yeah, one in four thirty.

1564
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 4: So they did sort of standard Sunday timing ish on

1565
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 4: those Saturday games because.

1566
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 2: Usually they do the four thirty and and APR. But

1567
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:59,560
Speaker 2: I guess that's why they're leaving college football.

1568
01:17:59,240 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: For that day.

1569
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 4: I mean, there's they're swinging directly at the first two

1570
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 4: and then they're leaving college football one of them.

1571
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 2: And I just I think you're right about the quality

1572
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 2: of games, Like they're two great games, Like it's going

1573
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 2: to be really good in Kansas City obviously, right and

1574
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Baltimore.

1575
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 3: I mean, what could be really interesting.

1576
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 4: I mean, they could have put on that Saturday, for example,

1577
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 4: also on that weekend's docket, Giants at Falcons. You know,

1578
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 4: they could have put a game like that in there.

1579
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 4: They could have put Jacksonville at the Raiders, the game

1580
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 4: that probably wouldn't have the same level.

1581
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee at Indye have the same level. But no, now

1582
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: they give you.

1583
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 4: Houston and Kansas City and Pittsburgh at Baltimore. So like

1584
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 4: it just it feels like the NFL definitely big. Yes, yeah,

1585
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 4: they big footage up. I find a good way to

1586
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 4: say that. That being said for me, if I got

1587
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,839
Speaker 4: to make the choice between a meaningful I mean, obviously

1588
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 4: we're gonna watch all of them, because it's what we

1589
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 4: do for a living. I'm gonna watch the Expanded Playoff, right,

1590
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 4: Like the Expanded Playoff is such playoff games always win,

1591
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 4: right in my mind, it's a playoff game always takes

1592
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 4: preast of it. So the fact that we get this

1593
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 4: Expanded Playoff and those first round games will be at home,

1594
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 4: those are are gonna be Oh, that's gonna be chef's kiss.

1595
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 4: Like imagine just getting some random Michigan you know, or

1596
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 4: or figure about a southern team having to go up there.

1597
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 4: Think about Georgia having to go to Michigan for a

1598
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 4: first round playoff game.

1599
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 3: If we're like, oh my god, it's no falling.

1600
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: Oh you outrageous man, that would be incredible. Figure.

1601
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 3: I know it's your dream, everything I wanted. I've always

1602
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 3: talked about this, Fig.

1603
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 6: I know, well, you know pretty soon the NFL is

1604
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 6: going to start elbowing out the high school kids too.

1605
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 6: Why not play on Friday night. They're gonna do it

1606
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 6: every single night of the week. It's the I think

1607
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 6: Gargano plan. Yeah, it's football every night. It's grammed.

1608
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 2: I know.

1609
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: I'm in for it.

1610
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 4: Like, look, I'll take it. Like you mentioned, some of

1611
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 4: those semi final games are on a Thursday. Yep, give

1612
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 4: me Thursday night college football if it's a playoff game,

1613
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:03,640
Speaker 4: come on, huh.

1614
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:09,520
Speaker 3: I know. I love the idea of going Thursday Friday.

1615
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 2: So you got meaningful football Thursday Friday at college football playoffs,

1616
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 2: and then you got a football at the NFL weekend.

1617
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:23,680
Speaker 4: God, and then once we expand to eighteen games inevitably

1618
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 4: in the NFL, all of a sudden, you're gonna have

1619
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,560
Speaker 4: this expanded calendar. We're gonna have meaningful football all the

1620
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 4: way into mid February.

1621
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yeah.

1622
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 3: I've always made the point that most of the country

1623
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 3: locked in the winter, so what else is there to do?

1624
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:43,799
Speaker 2: Mmm, you're right, you know I've never understood, like February

1625
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 2: is a horrific month.

1626
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:47,480
Speaker 3: Why not give the people joy.

1627
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 1: With football and then take us right into March madness.

1628
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: Oh the supports calendar, Yes, March.

01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 2: All right, boys, U let me ask you real quick

1645
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 2: because in my region Memorial Day weekend was always a

1646
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 2: big deal because it opened up obviously, but they would

1647
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 2: go to the shore so where it was beached out.

1648
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 2: Figure you get the beach all year around FITZI, you

1649
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 2: had an interesting look because you moved around a lot.

1650
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 2: And then when you settle in Vegas, obviously Vegas is Vegas,

1651
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:18,639
Speaker 2: but here it's always about go to the beach.

1652
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 3: And the Jersey Shore is like a big deal.

1653
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 2: Like there's boardwalk and amusements and that's you know, treats

1654
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 2: and the whole nine. It's like these little towns along

1655
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,879
Speaker 2: the shoreline.

1656
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 3: In New Jersey like a big deal for the people

1657
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 3: in this region.

1658
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 4: That's part of what's beautiful about New England. Like, by

1659
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 4: the way, I really like the entire New England area.

1660
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 4: And one thing that really hit me when I was

1661
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 4: living in Connecticut full time was how like it almost

1662
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 4: feels like every seasonal business comes to life right around then, right,

1663
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 4: so all of a sudden, areas that have been sort

1664
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 4: of cold and dark and empty are now all of

1665
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 4: a sudden alive and hopping and seeing you know, families

1666
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 4: walking around and getting ice cream at the random place

1667
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 4: that's only opened a few months a year. That I

1668
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 4: can never figure out economically how they manage.

1669
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: It's part of the chump.

1670
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 4: I will say, it's interesting because you're right, I've lived

1671
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 4: all over the country. How different areas of the country

1672
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 4: have different sort of vibes around Memorial Day and then

1673
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 4: around everything that kicks off after it, Like in Nashville

1674
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 4: it is, which is I think the South and service

1675
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 4: are very you know, they're very joined, right, so any

1676
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,839
Speaker 4: time to honor the people that served as an important

1677
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 4: thing culturally in the South. So there's actually I've always

1678
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 4: felt like a bit of a gravity to Memorial Day

1679
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 4: in a much different way where it's like, I mean,

1680
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 4: you've done a beautiful job of mentioning it, and I

1681
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 4: say it all the time. We get to do what

1682
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 4: we do because people better are stronger and overall more

1683
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 4: amazing than I could ever imagine being fought for our

1684
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 4: freedom right and that is a very serious and real

1685
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 4: thing that's appreciated. So I think it's always interesting to

1686
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 4: me in the South that there's a sort of a

1687
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,879
Speaker 4: gravity to the way that the Memorial Day is perceived.

1688
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden you're into summer. But

1689
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 4: one difference in let me be an old man for

1690
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 4: a minute. Like when I was a kid, Memorial Day

1691
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 4: was right around when summer started for school too, and

1692
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:20,560
Speaker 4: then you're off until after Labor Day. Like so I

1693
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 4: truly had the full summer off now, Like I was

1694
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 4: talking to one of my buddies up in Connecticut last week,

1695
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 4: his kids aren't even done until like the third week

1696
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 4: in June.

1697
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:30,679
Speaker 1: So I really wonder.

1698
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I just wonder if because of snow days

1699
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 4: that added a few days this year, but like third

1700
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:37,760
Speaker 4: week in June, they're done and they go back in

1701
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 4: mid August. So it's like, my god, Like I don't know,

1702
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,679
Speaker 4: Like I feel like you almost have to power blast

1703
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 4: that level of fun that you and I were used

1704
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 4: to getting to spend months having as kids.

1705
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't know, things weird and I get to

1706
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 2: figure you out with your school system, there is different

1707
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 2: it used to be here. I do know that it

1708
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 2: was you didn't go back into well after Labor Day.

1709
01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 2: Now kids starting in Arizona, I know they start in

1710
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 2: you know, August, which I never understood.

1711
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's uh, it traditionally was like that out here

1712
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 6: as well, after Labor Day. But I'm even aware. So

1713
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 6: my uh, my cousin is an administrator at a school

1714
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 6: in Vegas. Uh they let out last week. He says,

1715
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 6: they returned to school in July.

1716
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: That year round. There must be year round, now, is

1717
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: that what they're doing.

1718
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 6: I'm not not getn't get a chance to talk to

1719
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 6: him about it, because I when I was in high

1720
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 6: school out here, I was I was year round. So

1721
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 6: I started my school year actually started in July, but

1722
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 6: I also had a couple of months off in the

1723
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 6: winter and a couple of months in the spring. It

1724
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 6: was a different type of schedule. I didn't think that.

1725
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:45,680
Speaker 6: And because they let out so early as well, so

1726
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 6: maybe they are year round. I'm not sure, but that's

1727
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 6: a it's a funky schedule. And then that just even

1728
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,599
Speaker 6: your traditional modes nowadays. As you were talking about, Anthony,

1729
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,759
Speaker 6: you know these kids are going back in August, mid August,

1730
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:57,799
Speaker 6: that early to mid August.

1731
01:25:57,840 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 3: At that.

1732
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 6: You you wicked you started July, right, So because the

1733
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 6: school system was overcrowded, they had to find a way

1734
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 6: to kind of split things up to be able to

1735
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 6: accommodate all of the children.

1736
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 5: So they had to dig different schedules for different kids.

1737
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Yeah, so what was your schedule here?

1738
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 6: You would be off, so I was on for four months,

1739
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 6: off for two so we were in for July, August, September, October.

1740
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 6: I would have the entire month of November and December

1741
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 6: off and then we go back in January, February, March, April,

1742
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 6: and then May and June would basically be our summer

1743
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 6: vacation quota our transition into the next high school year.

1744
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 5: That's how it work. How did sports work.

1745
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 6: You could play in sport, you know, if if there

1746
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 6: was a follower winter sport, you would just show up

1747
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 6: for whatever sport that you played.

1748
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:48,719
Speaker 3: That is how it worked.

1749
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 5: So you wouldn't have classes, but you would you would

1750
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 5: go to play player sport.

1751
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's funny because classes don't start like

1752
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 2: we just got mine. Just got Mi Anthony's summer schedule

1753
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 2: for football, and you know, I mean he's basically they

1754
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 2: go they have a mini camp. Now mind you, Fitzi

1755
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 2: and Figgi. They have a mini lifting starts June tenth,

1756
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 2: so that's three days a week of lifting right. Then

1757
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 2: the last week of June is their mini camp. Then

1758
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 2: they're all for fourth July. Then they're back with conditioning

1759
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 2: and then they do a seven on seventh thing that

1760
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 2: starts three days a week in July. The last week

1761
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 2: of July they go to four days a week. Then

1762
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 2: training camp officially begins in August where they're five days

1763
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 2: a week.

1764
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 6: But that's the that's their that's their kids, well scheduled

1765
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 6: and regimented. I mean think about that, man, Like you know,

1766
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 6: like we didn't have many camps.

1767
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 3: No I was playing.

1768
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,520
Speaker 6: I mean that wasn't We had like summer conditioning practices,

1769
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 6: but they were even they were very loosely organized. You

1770
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 6: have a coach out there, the head coach might be there,

1771
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 6: he might not like it was never not like this.

1772
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 6: That's wild, right, I mean that's there. They were like

1773
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 6: you know, and then we're and you know, the coaches

1774
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 6: were cool, like they were like listen, you know you

1775
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 6: got family vacations and everything else. We understand, but like

1776
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 6: because we you know, we feel we feel a little guilty,

1777
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 6: like because it's his freshman year and like he's going

1778
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 6: to miss a couple.

1779
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 3: Of weeks because you know, we're gonna go away, we're

1780
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 3: gonna do some family stuff.

1781
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, can you believe we're actually feeling guilty about

1782
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 2: doing a family vacation because of camp and really of

1783
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 2: OTAs that is.

1784
01:28:56,040 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 4: That's crazy to me because like the summer and look,

1785
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 4: my mind was more regimented because everything I was doing

1786
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,600
Speaker 4: outside of school. But like the summer is supposed to

1787
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 4: be just sort of sort of an opportunity for kids

1788
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 4: to explore and do different. Like I don't know, like

1789
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 4: maybe I'm altruistic here, but it seems like you know,

1790
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 4: you sleep in and you mess around with your friends

1791
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 4: and you just have a good.

1792
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 1: Time, right, Like they're just summer right, Like yeah, yeah.

1793
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 13: There's there's movies that were written, stories and books, novels

1794
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 13: written about summer, and now we're like do it away

1795
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 13: with summer.

1796
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's such an interesting I mean, I understand

1797
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 4: the year round concept. Two of you know, four on

1798
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,640
Speaker 4: two off can make a lot of things easier in

1799
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 4: life for some parents, and and it makes uh, you know,

1800
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 4: it makes life easier for some of the kids in

1801
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 4: their studies.

1802
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: I guess that show that the learning is better that way,

1803
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: But I don't.

1804
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 4: Know, give me, give me three solid months of like

1805
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna sit around and do nothing, and especially

1806
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 4: like in that heat and everything, I just I would

1807
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 4: much prefer that one well, good thing.

1808
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't have kids, but I would much prefer that.

1809
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:08,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, vegue if you think about Vegas in August, I'm.

1810
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 5: Rather not sweating already thinking about.

1811
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 2: It, right like, and you know, I mean it's hard

1812
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 2: to go in that kind of heat. It's hard, it's

1813
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:18,759
Speaker 2: hard to concentraight school.

1814
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you just start thinking about just the general

1815
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 4: routine for kids. I don't know, there's something about the

1816
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,720
Speaker 4: knowing that you can go, Like what do you do

1817
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:31,840
Speaker 4: if summer camp was part of your life too?

1818
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Like summer camp seemed to be.

1819
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 4: I don't know how you fit that in with everybody

1820
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 4: having different different schedules.

1821
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 6: Oh fits it was because I remember leaving eighth grade

1822
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,200
Speaker 6: going into ninth I believe we let out on like

1823
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 6: June fifteenth or sixteenth or something like that, maybe even

1824
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 6: a little bit later. And my first day of high

1825
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 6: school was on July fifth, so I basically my summer

Speaker 6: my friends who are going to different school and the

1830
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:01,840

Speaker 6: were doing the summer and all these places they were going.

1832

1842
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:33,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's hard.

1843
01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm still trying to figure out how parents afford

1844
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Like, I mean, we didn't have much.

1845
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,040

Speaker 4: was like, yeah, for calculus, I needed T I eighty one.

1850
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 4: My mom was like, well then you need to find

1851
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 4: a different math class and we can't afford it. Like

1852
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:01,760
Speaker 4: and it's like kids coming in and just being like

1853
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 4: all right, well I need an iPad and I'm gonna need.

1854
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:06,800
Speaker 1: A laptop and I'm like, oh my god, I don't

1855
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:08,040
Speaker 1: even know how parents do it. I don't.

1856
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:09,160
Speaker 3: Well.

1857
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 6: The good thing a lot of times for the public schools,

1858
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 6: they will they'll provide those for you. So now, because

1859
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,880
Speaker 6: I even remember even like a lot of the graphic

1860
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 6: calculators and things like that, when I was in high school,

1861
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:20,000
Speaker 6: they you know what, just passed them down from year

1862
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 6: to year.

1863
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 5: Now some of them may like number that popped off

1864
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 5: that didn't work, you know.

1865
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 1: And then like we had to buy them.

1866
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:29,680
Speaker 4: And then my mom's rule always that I grew up

1867
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 4: on was if you can't afford to replace it, you

1868
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:33,640
Speaker 4: should never borrow it.

1869
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: So like when my.

1870
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 4: Friends, you know, in high school throw me the keys

1871
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:38,280
Speaker 4: and be like, hey man, you can drive my car,

1872
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, hell, no, I can't. No, I can't buy

1873
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 4: this thing. So nope, I cannot borrow your car. That

1874
01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:44,519
Speaker 4: is just I was raised on that rule. If you

1875
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 4: can't afford to replace it, don't borrow it. So somebody

1876
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:48,800
Speaker 4: would hand me an iPad as a kid, and I'd

1877
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:50,960
Speaker 4: be like, Nope, can't afford one of these.

1878
01:32:51,760 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 3: Get back. Oh man, that's wild, that's wild. Funny.

1879
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 2: We're you know, talking about the school and summer, Like,

1880
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:10,639
Speaker 2: do you think that we are like society is all

1881
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 2: about productivity, which is great, right, but do you think

1882
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 2: that we're too much like that?

1883
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 3: Like Europe?

1884
01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 2: You know, like I know in Italy they're they're off

1885
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:26,599
Speaker 2: the entire month of August, like nobody works. Like if

1886
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 2: you have any kind of job other than you know,

1887
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:35,120
Speaker 2: restaurants or cater your hotels, catering to tourists, you're off.

1888
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:39,320
Speaker 2: Like the whole country basically's off. And then they and

1889
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:42,640
Speaker 2: they're not you know, they have them. It's like that

1890
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:44,879
Speaker 2: for a lot of European countries.

1891
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 4: Do you we can't even get people here to stay

1892
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:51,600
Speaker 4: away from the stores on Thanksgiving data like.

1893
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 1: They think about that you just mentioned a month off.

1894
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:56,919
Speaker 4: You know how many Karen's out there would be complaining

1895
01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 4: about the fact that they can't get what they want

1896
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 4: that they're like that would just be such a loud

1897
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 4: no offense to any like really nice caroens out there,

1898
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:04,280
Speaker 4: But that would be.

1899
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 1: Such a such a loud yell of good.

1900
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 4: But I want to be able to go like it's

1901
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:15,640
Speaker 4: just man, I cannot imagine if we went to as

1902
01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,280
Speaker 4: a country and said, hey, the first reaction if we

1903
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 4: went to everybody and said we're taking the whole month

1904
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 4: of August office at the United States of America.

1905
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: People will be like hooray and then turn around and

1906
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: be like, but.

1907
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 4: That means everybody, which means unless it's absolutely essential, you

1908
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:30,800
Speaker 4: cannot get it.

1909
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 1: People would start just freaking out. They would freak out.

1910
01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 1: It's like, can't write my pedicure today? Like what am

1911
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,639
Speaker 1: I doing? You know, it's like that that's where we live.

1912
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:42,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I will say, you know, my my wife

1913
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:44,439
Speaker 6: who's a teacher, and she talks about how these kids

1914
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 6: are so overly regimented, and she believes that's why they

1915
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 6: are so anxious now because she was so talk to

1916
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 6: one student, this, all right, well, after I do homework,

1917
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 6: then I have soccer practice, then I have study group,

1918
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:55,640
Speaker 6: then I have this practice, then I have that.

1919
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:57,719
Speaker 5: This is what are you doing for fun this weekend?

1920
01:34:57,760 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 6: It's like, well, I have a baseball league that I'm

1921
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 6: playing in, just like, I mean, I'm sure that's fun

1922
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:02,680
Speaker 6: for you, but like, do you have anything that's like

1923
01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 6: unscheduled where you can just do what you want?

1924
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:10,040
Speaker 5: And they were like, no, not really, it's just somebody

1925
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 5: sad about that. It really is free time. Is just

1926
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:14,760
Speaker 5: not a thing anymore for a lot of people.

1927
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 6: It's about the overproductive, overproductive such situation that it really

1928
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 6: bears itself out, and I do think ultimately it does

1929
01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:25,520
Speaker 6: end up having a cost, a mental cost.

1930
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you burn out right, you don't allow certain things,

1931
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 2: you don't get to enjoy life. You know that that

1932
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:38,560
Speaker 2: whole idea of stop and smell the roads is that

1933
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:42,080
Speaker 2: old saying, but it's truly the you know, euro opinions.

1934
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:42,320
Speaker 1: Man.

1935
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 3: You know, it's to live to work, work to live.

1936
01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 6: Thing right, right, Entire cities, entire towns shut down that

1937
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 6: you mentioned for an entire month, goes away.

1938
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, a few years ago.

1939
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, Actually, the reason why we didn't go is because

1940
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 6: my wife went previously in August and she was like, oh,

1941
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 6: there's nobody here. All these businesses, all these restaurants we

1942
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 6: want to go to. Everybody's off. So we went earlier

1943
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 6: in the summer or late spring for that reason.

1944
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And you know, there's a there is a

1945
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 3: there's an enjoyment of life.

1946
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 2: That's that I think. And there's a simplicity too. Now

1947
01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:22,920
Speaker 2: you know they're not living in you know, they live

1948
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 2: in pretty modest you know, right, quarters and they're you know,

1949
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 2: they're they're always about the outside. And you know a

1950
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 2: lot of those you know, Western European countries.

1951
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 6: A communal, you know, big dinners and talking and all

1952
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 6: that stuff. Walking everywhere. Yeah, I mean that that and

1953
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 6: we're just go go go jumping a car, Yeah, grabbing

1954
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 6: a car.

1955
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 5: Grab something from seven to eleven and can go.

1956
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, not like I feel this in my

1957
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:54,880
Speaker 4: bones right now because as I you know, we all

1958
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:56,840
Speaker 4: know that I'm on this little fitness journey right now.

1959
01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,839
Speaker 4: But one thing that they're making me do is instead

1960
01:36:59,880 --> 01:37:01,880
Speaker 4: of running that I was doing so hard, I have

1961
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 4: to do ten thousand steps a day every day, and

1962
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 4: that requires ten thousand leisurely steps was what I was

1963
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 4: instructed to do, which requires taking very long walks. Right, So,

1964
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:14,960
Speaker 4: like it's just so three times a day, I just

1965
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 4: shut everything off and I go on this walk and

1966
01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 4: it's amazing how just being.

1967
01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 1: Out walking around.

1968
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 4: I just take Annabelle on a walk and you know,

1969
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:24,600
Speaker 4: we come back and it's like, man, I do like,

1970
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 4: it's amazing how just slowing down for a minute gives

1971
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:28,639
Speaker 4: me perspective.

1972
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even know.

1973
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,960
Speaker 4: It's funny, Like I'm doing this walk, but also as

1974
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,360
Speaker 4: a result of doing the walks instead of running on

1975
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 4: a treadmill inside, I'm outside, I'm getting sun and I'm

1976
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,320
Speaker 4: just like the stop and smell the roses sort of moment.

1977
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:43,719
Speaker 1: I have found more.

1978
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:46,280
Speaker 4: Peace in the last two weeks simply because of the walk,

1979
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 4: because I never slow life down like I just I

1980
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 4: don't think we know as a society how to slow lifetime.

1981
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, it's a shame it too, because

1982
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 2: yesterday a lot of the financial sectors in the financial sector,

1983
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 2: there a lot of companies just and that everybody has

1984
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 2: to go back to uh work to.

1985
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,400
Speaker 5: The off off of a out of remote work is

1986
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 5: out phased out.

1987
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's a mistake. I think it's

1988
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 2: a mistake. I think, first of all, I think people

1989
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 2: are more productive at home. Most people, I think are

1990
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:23,840
Speaker 2: more productive that there's that you're there, You're you're constantly

1991
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 2: working to get your work done. And and I think

1992
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:30,559
Speaker 2: it's because of commercial real estate. And it's like they

1993
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 2: have all this money invested in these in these buildings

1994
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 2: downtown or whatever you're you know, these these industrial parks

1995
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:42,600
Speaker 2: and office space. They're they're spend all that money on

1996
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:45,360
Speaker 2: office space and that's the problem. It's shame though, because

1997
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:49,599
Speaker 2: I think it's better. You know, the quality of life

1998
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 2: was better, even if you're working at home, as long

1999
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 2: as you get your work done. I don't understand the problem.

2000
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:55,760
Speaker 2: Never understood that.

2001
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:59,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, there's this part of me

2002
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 4: that wonders if events we become a task based society

2003
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:05,599
Speaker 4: rather than an hourly based society. These are the things

2004
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 4: you must get done this week instead of these are

2005
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 4: the hours you must.

2006
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 3: Which makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?

2007
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah to me? Like, I mean, I don't care what

2008
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:14,600
Speaker 1: you do.

2009
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:15,639
Speaker 3: I don't listen.

2010
01:39:16,200 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 2: Like, if you're in sales, go get me, you know whatever,

2011
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 2: three accounts a week or whatever, you know, whatever your

2012
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,639
Speaker 2: quota is. I don't care what you do the rest

2013
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:26,960
Speaker 2: of your day, Like you got to go, get to

2014
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:31,439
Speaker 2: take your dog to get groomed or whatever you gotta do.

2015
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 2: Go do what you gotta do, take your kids whatever.

2016
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 2: I don't care.

2017
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 3: As long as you get your work done, right, you know,

2018
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:40,880
Speaker 3: that's what it matters, right, Like, are you?

2019
01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 7: Like?

2020
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 2: I think the task based is way more It's way better.

2021
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 2: It makes just way more sense. As long as you

2022
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 2: get your work done and you're delivering. Then what do

2023
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 2: I care about what somebody's doing during the day, Like,

2024
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 2: why is it said that they have to be at

2025
01:39:58,640 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 2: a spot?

2026
01:39:59,439 --> 01:39:59,600
Speaker 8: You know?

2027
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:00,479
Speaker 3: Eight to five?

2028
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 1: Agreed anyway, I concur.

2029
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:08,559
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's take a quick t o now

2030
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 2: that we solve life's issues and uh, let's go into

2031
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 2: a little NFL wind total action.

2032
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:15,760
Speaker 3: All right.

2033
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 2: The updated wind totals are out, and I want to

2034
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 2: go through the teams with you guys, and you're gonna

2035
01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:27,200
Speaker 2: tell me whether you're gonna bet over or under? All right,

2036
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,160
Speaker 2: where the fella is hanging right here?

2037
01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:36,880
Speaker 3: On Memorial Day weekend on Fox Sports Radio, Fellas.

2038
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:43,560
Speaker 2: Jason fitz Kevin figures, I'm Anthony gargan By from the

2039
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:50,120
Speaker 2: tireat dot com Studios. All right, because we can't get

2040
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 2: enough of our football, and we've been all over the

2041
01:40:54,360 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 2: place today from the NBA to college sports, to the

2042
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:04,679
Speaker 2: workplace in society and beyond.

2043
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 3: Uh, let's get some football up here, and.

2044
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna do win totals, all right, the wind totals

2045
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:19,200
Speaker 2: for the NFL. Good excuse for us to talk about

2046
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 2: each team and go over their win totals, all right, Uh,

2047
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 2: Ian Spider, make sure you write these down and we'll

2048
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 2: see who's right, because Memorial Memorial Day weekend will turn

2049
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 2: into Labor Day weekend and it will be on. So

2050
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 2: I have a little contest. By the way, if I

2051
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 2: say Spider, does anybody know the reference?

2052
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 3: Nope? Do you figure Spider? Spider Spider?

2053
01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:53,960
Speaker 6: No? No.

2054
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:01,920
Speaker 3: The only person that knows the reference it's Mighty Mark, right,

2055
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 3: Might Mark.

2056
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:04,439
Speaker 5: That's so sad. Nobody knows that.

2057
01:42:04,560 --> 01:42:08,640
Speaker 3: Everybody knows that. I had no idea. Who do you

2058
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 3: call me? You're Spider, Spider, Spider, Go get me a drink, Spider.

2059
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 4: It's in the new, the New James Cameron Avatar movie,

2060
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 4: the sequel, there's a character named Spider.

2061
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 5: I was like, there's no way it's that.

2062
01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 3: The movie Good Fellas Spider. They shot Spider in the

2063
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:36,680
Speaker 3: foot and then do you remember that?

2064
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:40,160
Speaker 1: No? I vaguely remember. Look I haven't seen Good Fellas

2065
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:41,280
Speaker 1: and probably yeah.

2066
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:46,720
Speaker 5: I've seen it since early twenties, maybe all the time. No,

2067
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 5: we we you know, where's my drink?

2068
01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:53,960
Speaker 3: My only baby?

2069
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:54,120
Speaker 1: No?

2070
01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 3: My line? Spider? Uh, here we go.

2071
01:42:57,680 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 11: So anyway, let's before we eating, let's go with it.

2072
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 11: Let's begin with Baltimore. Right now, Baltimore, the Ravens eleven

2073
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:20,639
Speaker 11: and alf and you get plus juice if you take

2074
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:21,360
Speaker 11: the over.

2075
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 1: Eleven.

2076
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 3: See, I'll start with you.

2077
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:26,599
Speaker 1: That's a beefy number.

2078
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 4: And look at their well too, Like when you look

2079
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:30,760
Speaker 4: at the way their schedule plays up, I just pulled

2080
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,760
Speaker 4: it up here. They open at Kansas City, then they

2081
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,640
Speaker 4: get the juggernaut known as the Las Vegas Raiders, and

2082
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:39,679
Speaker 4: then they have to go to Dallas, then the Bills,

2083
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 4: then the Bengals. That's their first five games. Like, I

2084
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 4: think a slow start is not out of the question

2085
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 4: for the Ravens, even though I think the Ravens are

2086
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:49,639
Speaker 4: going to be very good. That's just a brutal way

2087
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:52,599
Speaker 4: to start the year. Eleven and a half just feels

2088
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 4: too rich for my blood man. Ten eleven wins is

2089
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 4: tough to do in this league. Twelve is really hard.

2090
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 4: I'm only going to find five losses for them to

2091
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 4: be on the I think I go under on that.

2092
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 4: I feel like I gotta go under on that. I'm

2093
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:11,040
Speaker 4: looking at the schedule now, but I'll say Figgy somewhat

2094
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 4: confidently under on eleven.

2095
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:13,640
Speaker 1: And a half. I will too.

2096
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:16,240
Speaker 6: That's just really hard to predict in a division that tough. Now,

2097
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 6: granted it was tough. Last year. Three of the four

2098
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 6: teams won double digit games. It's just hard for me

2099
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 6: to predict that they would go over eleven and a half.

2100
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:26,519
Speaker 6: That's a steep number for me. They lost a lot

2101
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 6: in free agency too, that's so.

2102
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 1: And Joe Burrow's back for Cincinnati, so the Bengos are

2103
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 1: going to be even better, all.

2104
01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:36,719
Speaker 2: Right, So we all agree, Spider under for the Ravens

2105
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:43,280
Speaker 2: Arizona six and a half. You gotta lay one forty

2106
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 2: to take the over, FITZI.

2107
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:49,679
Speaker 4: Six and a half is that's a that's a lower

2108
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 4: number than I expected for Arizona. They were plucky last year.

2109
01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 4: But again, then you pull up their schedule. I'm glad

2110
01:44:55,439 --> 01:44:57,680
Speaker 4: I'm pulling this up as we do this, because you

2111
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:00,519
Speaker 4: want to talk about another juggernaut. Their first few at

2112
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 4: Buffalo than the Rams, then the Lions Commanders, then at

2113
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:07,639
Speaker 4: San Francisco, like that's not an easy then at green

2114
01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 4: Bay none of that. They got the Charges, they got

2115
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 4: the Dolphins. That's a tough schedule. I'll actually but six

2116
01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:16,120
Speaker 4: and a half, so I'll take the under, but I

2117
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 4: don't love that. I don't feel good about it.

2118
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 3: So you go under.

2119
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 6: Figure Yeah, I think I had to go with the

2120
01:45:26,360 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 6: under without as well. To be honest with you, I'm

2121
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:29,920
Speaker 6: feeling the under too.

2122
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:32,600
Speaker 3: It's funny we are unanimous.

2123
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 2: We all have the under because I look at them

2124
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 2: and FITZI correctly points out their tough schedule. And the

2125
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:44,040
Speaker 2: other thing, too is I look at them, and you

2126
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 2: know they were plucky. They didn't play anybody lucky. I

2127
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:52,559
Speaker 2: don't believe in them same. I just don't believe in them.

2128
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can easily see them in the top three

2129
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 5: in the draft again this coming year. To be honest

2130
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:58,439
Speaker 5: with you, you too, you too?

2131
01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 4: That makes you late late season Arizona at Carolina game.

2132
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 4: That's gonna test the that's gonna test the fandom. But

2133
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:08,760
Speaker 4: it's at least a Sunday game, not a Thursday game.

2134
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:11,800
Speaker 3: For I was gonna ask you, is it an Island game?

2135
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 2: It's God forbid Atlanta nine and a half for the Falcons.

2136
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:26,479
Speaker 4: Nine and a half. I'm I'm high on the Falcons.

2137
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 4: I'm very high on the Falcons. I won't in my mind,

2138
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:33,280
Speaker 4: I don't love any of the quarterbacks that are, you know,

2139
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 4: four hundred and thirty two years old coming off of

2140
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:36,839
Speaker 4: Achilles injuries.

2141
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:38,120
Speaker 1: So that means the Jets also.

2142
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,360
Speaker 4: But I think the Falcons coaching was so bad last

2143
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 4: year it has to be better this year.

2144
01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:45,920
Speaker 1: But what was the number again, nine and a half?

2145
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 3: Nine and a half?

2146
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 1: Goly, you gotta get me to ten wins to win

2147
01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 1: that bet. I don't know.

2148
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 4: Again, looking at their schedule, they had Pittsburgh Philly in

2149
01:46:56,120 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 4: Kansas City to open the season, so that's.

2150
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:01,799
Speaker 1: That's a tough way to start. They have the Cowboys

2151
01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 1: later in the year.

2152
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 4: They also have to go to Las Vegas to take

2153
01:47:05,320 --> 01:47:07,200
Speaker 4: on the Jugger not known as the I'm going to

2154
01:47:07,320 --> 01:47:09,760
Speaker 4: keep doing that. I'll take the over on nine and

2155
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 4: a half. I'll take the over on nine. I think

2156
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:13,640
Speaker 4: the division is trash. I think the rest of the

2157
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,720
Speaker 4: teams in that division are going to be bad, and

2158
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 4: I think Atlanta can can feast on some bad football teams.

2159
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:21,599
Speaker 4: And I think a competent head coach will use their

2160
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 4: weapons better. That is a direct dig if I'm not

2161
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:27,680
Speaker 4: being clear enough, I think Arthur Smith was malpractice at

2162
01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:28,680
Speaker 4: head coach last year.

2163
01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 1: So I think I think Atlanta takes a step forward

2164
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:32,120
Speaker 1: nine and a half. I'll take the over.

2165
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 6: Arthur Smith probably a guy who's more equipped to be

2166
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:35,799
Speaker 6: an offensive coordinator.

2167
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 5: But Atlanta, I.

2168
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:40,560
Speaker 3: Think I'll go over to.

2169
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:43,040
Speaker 6: You know, you have competence at the quarterback position in

2170
01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 6: the head coaching head coaching spot. I still don't like

2171
01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:47,320
Speaker 6: their defense, but I think they can score enough points

2172
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 6: to give themselves a chance to be able to win

2173
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:49,280
Speaker 6: enough games.

2174
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:50,880
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'll take the over.

2175
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 2: Let's make it unanimous. And here's why mentioned the division,

2176
01:47:58,040 --> 01:48:01,280
Speaker 2: So I agree. I'm in love with that vision. And

2177
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:05,600
Speaker 2: then look, they got skill people. Man, they have their offense,

2178
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:09,760
Speaker 2: like you just said, FIG's legit. So I'll take the

2179
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:12,920
Speaker 2: over as well. Give me nine and a half on

2180
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:19,519
Speaker 2: the Falcons Buffalo ten and a half. Where are we

2181
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:20,439
Speaker 2: going here?

2182
01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:23,439
Speaker 1: Ten and a half is beefy.

2183
01:48:23,520 --> 01:48:26,799
Speaker 4: Also, by the way, there's a slot machine in Vegas

2184
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,040
Speaker 4: that has buffaloes on it, and the thing every.

2185
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:31,200
Speaker 1: Time you walk by it just goro is buffalo. So

2186
01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:32,680
Speaker 1: when you say that, that's all I can think of.

2187
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:37,680
Speaker 4: Ten and a half that their division is going to

2188
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 4: be good this year. Although I think the Jets are

2189
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:42,519
Speaker 4: gonna be bad, I think the rest of the division

2190
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 4: is going to be very good. Looking at some of

2191
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 4: their schedule. They obviously get the Ravens, but they have

2192
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 4: I mean they have the Titans, they have the Seahawks,

2193
01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:52,479
Speaker 4: they have the Colts, like they've got winnable games. I'll

2194
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:53,439
Speaker 4: take the over on ten.

2195
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:53,639
Speaker 1: And a half.

2196
01:48:54,560 --> 01:49:01,880
Speaker 6: You got the over all, right, FIGG, I'm taking the under.

2197
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 6: I'm taking the under. Lost a lot this offseason, so

2198
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:07,960
Speaker 6: that mean they won't make the playoffs. But I'm taking

2199
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 6: the under. So I got it under too. And you

2200
01:49:13,439 --> 01:49:16,800
Speaker 6: make a good point, Fitsy about the schedule, but you

2201
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:17,679
Speaker 6: know they suffer.

2202
01:49:17,760 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 3: I told what you're going to do on the outside, Yeah.

2203
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:21,639
Speaker 5: Who's your number ones?

2204
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 4: So I keep going back to the internal belief in

2205
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:28,599
Speaker 4: This is something Damien Harris told me when we work

2206
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:31,680
Speaker 4: together for Yahoo for the NFL Draft that internally they

2207
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 4: believe that Josh Allen can account for forty touchdowns no

2208
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:37,920
Speaker 4: matter who his wide receivers are. So they don't think

2209
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:40,160
Speaker 4: that there's a gain one way or the other to

2210
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 4: having a great wide receiver on the outside or not

2211
01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 4: having a great wide receiver. Right like, they believe he'll

2212
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 4: account for forty whether he has Stefan Diggs or whether

2213
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:49,479
Speaker 4: he doesn't have Steffan Diggs. And I'm not sure they're

2214
01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:51,559
Speaker 4: one hundred percent wrong. I think they're just asking him

2215
01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:53,680
Speaker 4: to be superhero superhuman this year.

2216
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:54,720
Speaker 1: I think he can be.

2217
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 4: So that's a but I see your point on it totally.

2218
01:49:57,560 --> 01:49:59,600
Speaker 4: I think the wide receiver room is a question. I

2219
01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:02,599
Speaker 4: like key On Coleman a lot. He ran slow, That's

2220
01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 4: why he went where he went in the draft. I

2221
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:06,120
Speaker 4: like key On Coleman a lot, but he's not going

2222
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:07,880
Speaker 4: to come in and replaced Digs year one.

2223
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 1: Right, we all know that. So I see where you're

2224
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 1: coming from. But I'll see.

2225
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 3: Dude, you know, is there a great playmakers on that

2226
01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:17,240
Speaker 3: side of the ball.

2227
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 1: No, No, they're just no. You're right, you're one hundred

2228
01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:23,040
Speaker 1: pc right about that.

2229
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 5: I mean you lost your two starting safeties who are

2230
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:28,120
Speaker 5: good players. I mean you lost more than you gained

2231
01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:31,000
Speaker 5: on defense this offseason. Lost Trey White too.

2232
01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2233
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:34,840
Speaker 2: I mean I'm a big Sean mcdermotth fan. I love

2234
01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:39,679
Speaker 2: the coach, but I think he's a really good defensive coach.

2235
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:41,680
Speaker 2: But I just don't think they have it. I think

2236
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:42,600
Speaker 2: their roster is.

2237
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:45,040
Speaker 5: Find right.

2238
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 3: That's why I like you have.

2239
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 6: I think you have an exceptional a quarterback who can

2240
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:52,600
Speaker 6: play exceptional at times, surrounded by a bunch of not

2241
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 6: just a bunch of average a bunch of blah.

2242
01:50:55,760 --> 01:50:59,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's never good.

2243
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 5: I can bet a term, you know, uh Caroline four

2244
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:06,120
Speaker 5: half speak.

2245
01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:11,679
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that's bobbing emoji.

2246
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 4: There is not a single team in the NFL this

2247
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:18,640
Speaker 4: year that don't look at the schedule right now and

2248
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:21,040
Speaker 4: see Caroline and don't think, well, that's a win.

2249
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:23,240
Speaker 1: Like I understand that.

2250
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 4: Like that being said, I think Bryce Shunk is better

2251
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 4: than he showed last year. They've spent a lot of

2252
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,639
Speaker 4: money to get better. Four and a half is such

2253
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 4: a low number. But I'm taking the under, not taking

2254
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,560
Speaker 4: the under just until I see otherwise. I'm taking the

2255
01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:42,519
Speaker 4: other day. It's last year was not just about Bryce,

2256
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:45,360
Speaker 4: it was about everything and I loved it THEA.

2257
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:47,040
Speaker 1: Now you can come in and turn it around, but

2258
01:51:47,320 --> 01:51:49,200
Speaker 1: they just so many holes on that roster, and.

2259
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:50,760
Speaker 6: I still don't feel like they did a whole lot

2260
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:53,120
Speaker 6: to try to turn it around. I mean, rarely can

2261
01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:56,000
Speaker 6: you do that in one offseason. So what's going to change.

2262
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:57,960
Speaker 6: I'm taking the under two.

2263
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:02,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, I look at that team just they're dirt, bad,

2264
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:05,160
Speaker 2: bad squad, all right.

2265
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:06,639
Speaker 3: I like this next team.

2266
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 2: I'm just curious to see where you guys are because

2267
01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 2: this is one of my favorite overs the Bears eight

2268
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:15,600
Speaker 2: and a half.

2269
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:19,080
Speaker 4: Hammering over over over over the Bears going to the

2270
01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 4: playoffs this year. I got the Bears in the playoffs,

2271
01:52:22,320 --> 01:52:25,080
Speaker 4: and look, not only the Bears going to playoffs. I

2272
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:27,080
Speaker 4: think they're gonna have a hot start. I mean the

2273
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,400
Speaker 4: beginning of their schedule. They get the Titans, and the

2274
01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 4: Titans is going to be a little difficult at the

2275
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,120
Speaker 4: beginning of the year. Brian Callahan the new head coach,

2276
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:37,640
Speaker 4: so there's a little bit of unpredictability. But they get

2277
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 4: the Titans, then a tough one at the Texans, then

2278
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 4: the Colts, the Rams, the Panthers, the Jags who were

2279
01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:44,000
Speaker 4: unsure of and the Commanders.

2280
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 1: The Cardinals like they have a run there.

2281
01:52:45,479 --> 01:52:48,439
Speaker 4: The Patriots they could hit midway through the season as

2282
01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:49,519
Speaker 4: stacked up a few wins.

2283
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:52,600
Speaker 1: I think they feel like a nine win team to me.

2284
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:55,439
Speaker 4: So you know, obviously Vegas is making me make a

2285
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 4: difficult decision, but I get see them winning nine or ten.

2286
01:52:58,320 --> 01:52:59,439
Speaker 1: I think they're going to the playoffs.

2287
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, fit figgy.

2288
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:07,800
Speaker 6: Obviously, all can you know, consider how uh how Caleb

2289
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,160
Speaker 6: Williams plays, so you know that it's all going to

2290
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:11,640
Speaker 6: fall on his shoulders. But this is a team that

2291
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 6: won seven games last year and Justin Fields couldn't complete.

2292
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 5: A four pass.

2293
01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:18,679
Speaker 6: So Minnesota's going to take a step backwards. So yeah,

2294
01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:21,519
Speaker 6: I can. It's a tough one for me, but i'll i'll,

2295
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 6: I'll lean to over it is. So here's why I

2296
01:53:25,240 --> 01:53:31,960
Speaker 6: love it. Some reasons why said two. But I mean

2297
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:34,000
Speaker 6: they're just killed about what they shround.

2298
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:35,800
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, all the things in the world.

2299
01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they're making it easy for him and defensively.

2300
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:43,040
Speaker 3: Like I like their front man.

2301
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like her.

2302
01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:49,800
Speaker 3: I like that squad. I do I fit. They got talent.

2303
01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:53,040
Speaker 6: I definitely have talent. There's an element of for whatever reason,

2304
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 6: I have to see it first. But look, I'm taking

2305
01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:56,600
Speaker 6: the over, just begrudgingly.

2306
01:53:57,120 --> 01:53:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting.

2307
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:00,640
Speaker 4: You know who should be mad as Roman because the

2308
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:02,320
Speaker 4: only way he can win Rookie of the Year is

2309
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:05,040
Speaker 4: if Caleb Williams throws him the ball, and that means

2310
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:08,000
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams would win Rookie of the Year. Rome's you know,

2311
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:10,559
Speaker 4: once that little extra kick in his contract. I feel

2312
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 4: bad for Rome.

2313
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:14,719

2335
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,720
Speaker 4: it's it's that's why I say porridge. It sounds less

2336
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:22,960
Speaker 4: disgusting that way, alarmingly.

2337
01:55:23,920 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 1: To you.

2338
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can eat grilled chicken, right.

2339
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:31,080
Speaker 4: One hundred and fifty grams of chicken is a part

2340
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:33,320
Speaker 4: of my uh, part of my dinner and then part

2341
01:55:33,360 --> 01:55:34,880
Speaker 4: of my my mid day.

2342
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:36,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred and fifty grams of chicken twice.

2343
01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:41,440
Speaker 2: A day, one hundred and fifty crams of I assume

2344
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:43,160
Speaker 2: it's grilled right baked.

2345
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I like you weigh it before, but yeah,

2346
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 4: then you grill it or you can air fry it

2347
01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:50,080
Speaker 4: either way. But yeah, like basically it works out to,

2348
01:55:50,520 --> 01:55:53,480
Speaker 4: you know, two thirds of a normal sized chicken breast

2349
01:55:53,560 --> 01:55:54,120
Speaker 4: twice a day.

2350
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:57,440

Speaker 4: him to move.

2357
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:16,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a whole thing. It's gonna be a

2358
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:16,600
Speaker 1: whole thing.

2359
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:20,040
Speaker 3: So what do you do with let's go to a

2360
01:56:20,240 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 3: normal human being normal?

2361
01:56:23,640 --> 01:56:26,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very little normal in my world at this

2362
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:26,920
Speaker 5: point in time.

2363
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:30,960
Speaker 3: Well, yes, it is normal. It's the baby.

2364
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:34,880
Speaker 2: Everything's around the baby, and it's the greatest time of

2365
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:35,680
Speaker 2: your life, buddy.

2366
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great.

2367
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:39,400
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, despite the lack of sleep, which

2368
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,240
Speaker 6: is you know, comes with the territory, but it's a

2369
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:42,160
Speaker 6: it's a fun time.

2370
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:44,360
Speaker 5: But so we do not have big plans. Our big

2371
01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:46,600
Speaker 5: plans are to try to take naps when he does.

2372
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:48,560
Speaker 3: So that's.

2373
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:52,680
Speaker 6: Just trying to and try to get him to nap.

2374
01:56:53,640 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 6: He doesn't want to, so just try our best to

2375
01:56:57,840 --> 01:56:59,760
Speaker 6: try to figure it out. Any tricks.

2376
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 2: So we used to put the the we put the

2377
01:57:06,120 --> 01:57:09,960
Speaker 2: babies Anthey, maxball in the car seat and put them

2378
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:10,879
Speaker 2: on the dryer.

2379
01:57:12,040 --> 01:57:14,240
Speaker 3: Oh so it kind of rocks him a little bit. Yeah,

2380
01:57:16,080 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 3: we would try that. We would.

2381
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:20,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure you have the swing. I'm sure you have.

2382
01:57:21,600 --> 01:57:25,760
Speaker 2: I would go and drive him around. I mean there's

2383
01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 2: a million different things.

2384
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:29,200
Speaker 5: He does love driving, Yes, he does love being in

2385
01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:30,320
Speaker 5: the car, in the car seat.

2386
01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:31,640
Speaker 1: Why does he just keep it?

2387
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:32,720
Speaker 5: Just keeping him well fed?

2388
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:34,880
Speaker 6: He do this thing where you feed him and he

2389
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:38,680
Speaker 6: basically just kind of falls asleep. Yeah, he'll lean back

2390
01:57:38,960 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 6: and he doesn't start breathing heavily. It's almost like he's drunk.

2391
01:57:42,200 --> 01:57:47,640
Speaker 6: He's drunk of milk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah the formula man, Yeah,

2392
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:48,040
Speaker 6: that's it.

2393
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:51,880
Speaker 5: So he gets himself into a bit of a milk comba.

2394
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:54,400
Speaker 6: You try to burp them, but not super aggressively so

2395
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 6: he doesn't completely wake up out of his stupor.

2396
01:57:57,360 --> 01:57:59,480
Speaker 5: And then you lay him down. That that that works

2397
01:57:59,480 --> 01:58:00,720
Speaker 5: about eighty percent of the time.

2398
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:03,680
Speaker 2: Do you have the uh, the greatest thing in the

2399
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 2: world is when he falls asleep, like right on your chest.

2400
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, have the baby blanket and yeah, he's

2401
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 2: got his head there, and then you're probably fall asleep.

2402
01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 5: Which you're not supposed to do. But yeah, that that

2403
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:17,960
Speaker 5: that's happened to me once or twice. Well, you know

2404
01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:18,720
Speaker 5: the issue you.

2405
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:21,440
Speaker 3: Ever really go deep in the deep sleep, like you

2406
01:58:22,400 --> 01:58:23,440
Speaker 3: you're just restincts.

2407
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's so interesting because you know, your instincts

2408
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:34,400
Speaker 2: take over like you're human instincts. So you know, when

2409
01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:37,200
Speaker 2: the baby's sleeping on you and you feel like you're

2410
01:58:37,280 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 2: falling asleep, you never really fall into a deep sleep

2411
01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 2: because you know, your your mind is constantly thinking about

2412
01:58:44,120 --> 01:58:44,880
Speaker 2: the baby.

2413
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, and their health and their safety and making sure

2414
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:48,680
Speaker 6: he doesn't fall you know, tip or whatever.

2415
01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2416
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:51,760
Speaker 5: So the issue that especially happens more with my wife

2417
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:52,160
Speaker 5: than with me.

2418
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 6: But he gets really comfortable sleeping on her, so once

2419
01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:56,440
Speaker 6: she tries to pick him up and put him down,

2420
01:58:56,480 --> 01:58:59,080
Speaker 6: he starts getting you know, a little upset.

2421
01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, my eleven year old still let's just sleep

2422
01:59:02,840 --> 01:59:03,520
Speaker 2: with us.

2423
01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:04,040
Speaker 3: That week.

2424
01:59:07,360 --> 01:59:10,520
Speaker 6: He still curls up on your your wife's chest. Oh

2425
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:12,760
Speaker 6: my god, she's like Manzmo.

2426
01:59:13,200 --> 01:59:15,400
Speaker 2: And meanwhile he keeps going through a growth spurt, so

2427
01:59:16,720 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 2: he's probably wearing a size ten right now.

2428
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:20,880
Speaker 3: That's great.

2479
02:01:57,600 --> 02:02:01,480
Speaker 2: let's real quick, get back to play last night. So

2480
02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:08,440
Speaker 2: Luca was amazing last night. And there was the sequence

2481
02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:10,920
Speaker 2: where he gets caught on a switch, which I don't

2482
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:14,480
Speaker 2: understand why they went this route, but he catches he's

2483
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:18,240
Speaker 2: able to catch Minnesota on his switch and go bears

2484
02:02:18,320 --> 02:02:21,200
Speaker 2: on him, and so he's got go bear on skates

2485
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:25,879
Speaker 2: right like he can't stay with him, and he drills

2486
02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 2: the step back three to basically it turns out to

2487
02:02:29,800 --> 02:02:32,760
Speaker 2: be the game winning shot. It was an incredible game

2488
02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:37,360
Speaker 2: where you know Dallas is down eighteen, right, I mean,

2489
02:02:37,560 --> 02:02:39,960
Speaker 2: you know they came all the way back and they

2490
02:02:40,040 --> 02:02:42,880
Speaker 2: made a quick run in the third quarter to make

2491
02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:43,440
Speaker 2: it a game.

2492
02:02:43,800 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 3: You know, a couple of times Minnesota stretched it.

2493
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:50,800
Speaker 2: Nas Reid was terrific, but and he takes the last

2494
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:54,240
Speaker 2: shot and he had a decent look. Interestingly, Anthony Edwards

2495
02:02:54,320 --> 02:02:57,880
Speaker 2: passes it and it was the right pass and that

2496
02:02:58,040 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 2: Nazri was open. But you expect in the maturation to

2497
02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:07,280
Speaker 2: a superstar that he winds up taking that shot at

2498
02:03:07,320 --> 02:03:07,760
Speaker 2: some point.

2499
02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:12,360
Speaker 3: I'll get so I'll ask you, guys, is it now

2500
02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:13,960
Speaker 3: Luca's league.

2501
02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:17,720
Speaker 2: From the standpoint that if you would there's anybody you

2502
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:21,880
Speaker 2: want right now that Luca would be the guy.

2503
02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:27,000
Speaker 4: Oh that's tough, I mean, and speaks to what I

2504
02:03:27,040 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 4: said earlier, how much the conversation has changed a week ago.

2505
02:03:29,520 --> 02:03:34,200
Speaker 4: I think Luca has been a professional for so long

2506
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:37,000
Speaker 4: at this point, and you go back to even before

2507
02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:39,000
Speaker 4: he got into the league, when he was, you know,

2508
02:03:39,040 --> 02:03:42,040
Speaker 4: a kid basically competing against grown men in the second

2509
02:03:42,120 --> 02:03:44,480
Speaker 4: best basketball league in the world and dominating. They're like

2510
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:48,839
Speaker 4: Luca there, there's no moment Luca isn't capable of handling

2511
02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:52,480
Speaker 4: and you mentioned learning from it, like Anthony Edwards has

2512
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:55,040
Speaker 4: got to learn, like how to get through that moment

2513
02:03:55,080 --> 02:03:57,000
Speaker 4: and whether or not that's his shot to take, so

2514
02:03:57,120 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 4: on and so forth. Like there's no learning left for Luca.

2515
02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:04,640
Speaker 4: Luca is rock solid superstar, right is he the guy?

2516
02:04:05,480 --> 02:04:06,040
Speaker 1: Man? I don't know.

2517
02:04:06,160 --> 02:04:07,520
Speaker 4: It feels like there's a bunch of them that are

2518
02:04:07,560 --> 02:04:09,920
Speaker 4: sort of grouped together for me, I don't know that

2519
02:04:10,040 --> 02:04:11,840
Speaker 4: it separates versus everybody else.

2520
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 2: But he's only twenty five years old, Like you think

2521
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:17,040
Speaker 2: about Luca, he's only twenty five.

2522
02:04:18,040 --> 02:04:21,240
Speaker 4: It's just you know, there's I'm gonna be this terrible

2523
02:04:21,320 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 4: thing to say, right because I'm not here when everybody's

2524
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 4: gonna spend the weekend, you know, eating whatever they want

2525
02:04:26,160 --> 02:04:28,000
Speaker 4: and drink or whatever they want, party and however they want.

2526
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:29,720
Speaker 4: I'm not here to judge people that want to party

2527
02:04:29,760 --> 02:04:32,520
Speaker 4: however they want or eat however they want. But like Luca,

2528
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:35,680
Speaker 4: for a basketball player, sometimes looks a little chunky, like

2529
02:04:35,800 --> 02:04:38,000
Speaker 4: I just I like my basketball players to be like

2530
02:04:38,160 --> 02:04:41,680
Speaker 4: super athletic, like I can take over every everything, every moment.

2531
02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:44,000
Speaker 4: Sometimes Luca looks like he's a little gased sometimes, you know,

2532
02:04:44,200 --> 02:04:45,240
Speaker 4: like face of the league.

2533
02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can. Can you be a

2534
02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:47,960
Speaker 1: little fluffy and be the face?

2535
02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 3: I don't know is that he is?

2536
02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:54,600
Speaker 2: He Like if you have a number one pick who

2537
02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 2: you taking? You're taking Luca.

2538
02:04:58,160 --> 02:05:02,920
Speaker 4: I mean, for if I if I've been the entire NBA,

2539
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 4: I'm taking Jokic, I'm taking Yokiics. I would have said, yeah,

2540
02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:09,520
Speaker 4: three time MVP for a reason, best player in the league.

2541
02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:11,920
Speaker 4: Not only can he score on anybody, he can facilitate

2542
02:05:11,960 --> 02:05:15,560
Speaker 4: anybody from absolutely anywhere, and you can put mediocrity around

2543
02:05:15,640 --> 02:05:19,320
Speaker 4: him and still win. Like one handed, I think Jokic

2544
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:22,720
Speaker 4: can get himself very far in most years.

2545
02:05:22,920 --> 02:05:25,640
Speaker 3: I don't know, we know, but we do know that,

2546
02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:29,400
Speaker 3: you know, the big, the tail of the big.

2547
02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:34,040
Speaker 2: It's tough because you need someone to facilitate, right like

2548
02:05:34,200 --> 02:05:39,120
Speaker 2: to to make create, you need creators. And so that's

2549
02:05:39,160 --> 02:05:42,000
Speaker 2: an issue, right like you know when you're talking about

2550
02:05:42,040 --> 02:05:45,320
Speaker 2: a five and you're talking about a big man creating

2551
02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 2: and like last night, per example, because you know, as

2552
02:05:51,120 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 2: great as he is, and it's a great pick that

2553
02:05:53,560 --> 02:05:56,400
Speaker 2: you guys, go Jokic, he's not creating his own shot.

2554
02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:00,440
Speaker 1: You're okay, you're right.

2555
02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:03,120
Speaker 4: I will not disagree with you that he's not going

2556
02:06:03,200 --> 02:06:05,880
Speaker 4: to turn around get that mismatch into a step back

2557
02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:09,080
Speaker 4: that wins the game one hundred. But there is no

2558
02:06:09,160 --> 02:06:12,560
Speaker 4: bigger mismatch night in and night out than your Kich

2559
02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:14,760
Speaker 4: versus whoever you're trying to put on him. Right like,

2560
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:17,480
Speaker 4: that's there. There are a handful of guys that can

2561
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:22,520
Speaker 4: do what you Listen, Indeed, there are a handful of

2562
02:06:22,560 --> 02:06:24,960
Speaker 4: guys that can do what Luca did last night, They're

2563
02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:26,440
Speaker 4: not a handful of guys in the NBA.

2564
02:06:26,840 --> 02:06:28,800
Speaker 1: They can do what Yo kich does most nights in.

2565
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:30,280
Speaker 5: A play in playout basis.

2566
02:06:30,320 --> 02:06:31,800
Speaker 6: More often than that, you're going to be able to

2567
02:06:31,800 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 6: get into a set where you can get him the

2568
02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 6: ball in his spots. You don't necessarily have to have

2569
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:40,240
Speaker 6: you know, the point God Guru to be able to give.

2570
02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:41,960
Speaker 5: Him the ball. Not it's not that complicated.

2571
02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't know someone who's dealt with the five, who

2572
02:06:47,400 --> 02:06:53,000
Speaker 2: I love, by the way, but there's a there's a distinct,

2573
02:06:53,280 --> 02:06:56,520
Speaker 2: I think, disadvantage when you're five, it's your best player.

2574
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:00,200
Speaker 4: Are we are we sleeping on y honest? In this

2575
02:07:00,320 --> 02:07:01,920
Speaker 4: combo like this couple of years ago, it would have

2576
02:07:01,920 --> 02:07:02,640
Speaker 4: been honest.

2577
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:05,400
Speaker 6: For a long he's been a little banged up recently.

2578
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:07,520
Speaker 6: Doesn't help us, cause that's fair.

2579
02:07:07,680 --> 02:07:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, listen, great, great, great player.

2580
02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:14,080
Speaker 2: Obviously I love Gianni's in the conversation, I'm just asking

2581
02:07:14,120 --> 02:07:18,840
Speaker 2: the question about what you guys, because the thing about.

2582
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:24,520
Speaker 3: He does everything, he's an.

2583
02:07:24,440 --> 02:07:28,800
Speaker 2: Incredible like the pass he made last night when they're

2584
02:07:28,840 --> 02:07:32,680
Speaker 2: blitzing him, like, yeah, I mean, Yoka's terrific pants were

2585
02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:33,120
Speaker 2: a big guy.

2586
02:07:33,360 --> 02:07:36,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, he'll make like that. Like well, the thing is

2587
02:07:36,920 --> 02:07:39,120
Speaker 6: they look less impressive. He's not gonna take anybody off

2588
02:07:39,160 --> 02:07:41,360
Speaker 6: the dribble. So one thing that dude Don has over

2589
02:07:41,480 --> 02:07:45,280
Speaker 6: him is his handle, but everything else and Don is

2590
02:07:45,360 --> 02:07:48,120
Speaker 6: probably a better outside shooter, although Yoka is a really

2591
02:07:48,120 --> 02:07:50,680
Speaker 6: good outside shooter. But I don't think the gap is

2592
02:07:50,720 --> 02:07:52,240
Speaker 6: really that why between the two of them, just as

2593
02:07:52,280 --> 02:07:55,560
Speaker 6: individual players skill set wise, and you know, esthetically, they

2594
02:07:55,640 --> 02:07:57,160
Speaker 6: might look a little bit different here and there, but

2595
02:07:58,080 --> 02:08:00,600
Speaker 6: I mean, overall, I think i'd read I still rather

2596
02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:01,200
Speaker 6: have Yokic.

2597
02:08:01,320 --> 02:08:04,560
Speaker 5: This is not them disparage, you know, y Luca by

2598
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:05,880
Speaker 5: any stretch. I'd love to have him.

2599
02:08:06,080 --> 02:08:08,240
Speaker 6: But if you're asking me, if if I had to pick,

2600
02:08:08,720 --> 02:08:09,960
Speaker 6: I would say Jokic over him.

2601
02:08:10,040 --> 02:08:12,760
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm going to be a stat nerd for

2602
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:14,200
Speaker 1: a second. I think this is interesting.

2603
02:08:14,320 --> 02:08:18,440
Speaker 4: I looked up and the NBA Advanced Analytics for Player

2604
02:08:18,560 --> 02:08:22,160
Speaker 4: Impact their estimated player impact number two in the entire

2605
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:26,480
Speaker 4: NBA Luca at a score of twenty number one, Jokic

2606
02:08:26,600 --> 02:08:28,840
Speaker 4: at a twenty one point one. Very close between the

2607
02:08:28,920 --> 02:08:31,120
Speaker 4: two of them, by the way, and interesting when you

2608
02:08:31,200 --> 02:08:32,880
Speaker 4: look at the names in the top ten. Many of

2609
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:35,000
Speaker 4: the names we've heard in the playoffs a bunch, but

2610
02:08:35,480 --> 02:08:38,080
Speaker 4: Victor weman Ya, I'm a finished eighth already and in

2611
02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:43,480
Speaker 4: one case, so I mean, like, if we're talking about

2612
02:08:43,800 --> 02:08:46,440
Speaker 4: moving forward, Wenby's going to be part of this conversation too.

2613
02:08:46,560 --> 02:08:49,520
Speaker 4: But interesting that off the top of our heads we

2614
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:52,280
Speaker 4: picked the two guys that have the highest impact rating

2615
02:08:52,280 --> 02:08:54,880
Speaker 4: according to advanced analytics.

2616
02:08:54,920 --> 02:08:56,560
Speaker 1: I'll push my glasses up now, be a nerd.

2617
02:08:57,600 --> 02:09:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, which you know, we stay the reason

2618
02:09:00,640 --> 02:09:05,040
Speaker 2: right because of the ball in their hands and you know,

2619
02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:08,200
Speaker 2: and kind of how they make their team go and

2620
02:09:08,360 --> 02:09:11,360
Speaker 2: kind of what they do and being terrific passers and

2621
02:09:12,120 --> 02:09:12,880
Speaker 2: all that stuff.

2622
02:09:13,320 --> 02:09:14,080
Speaker 3: It is interesting.

2623
02:09:14,320 --> 02:09:19,040
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, I hear a lot of like

2624
02:09:19,240 --> 02:09:24,040
Speaker 2: anti Doncic, and I quite frankly, I you know, other

2625
02:09:24,120 --> 02:09:26,080
Speaker 2: than the fact that you know, I get he's farm

2626
02:09:26,160 --> 02:09:26,920
Speaker 2: born player or.

2627
02:09:26,920 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 5: Whatever and he complains a lot, but I mean, you

2628
02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:31,920
Speaker 5: know that's neither here nor there. He's an NBA player,

2629
02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:36,360
Speaker 5: so well, I mean Mark's officials and NBA players bark

2630
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:37,480
Speaker 5: at officials, So I mean.

2631
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean I like that

2632
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:41,440
Speaker 2: stuff that never bothers me. I'll be honest with you,

2633
02:09:41,600 --> 02:09:43,680
Speaker 2: like I don't you know, I don't care who does it.

2634
02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:48,120
Speaker 3: You know, I like this. I like his spirit, like

2635
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:49,200
Speaker 3: he's tough man.

2636
02:09:50,120 --> 02:09:54,000
Speaker 2: He's barking at the Minnesota bench all game like, and

2637
02:09:54,080 --> 02:09:57,280
Speaker 2: he's saying, you know, the last guy who tell you

2638
02:09:57,400 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 2: that he's going to be from the spot was a

2639
02:09:59,720 --> 02:10:03,160
Speaker 2: guy a bird I mean, you know, I mean Jordan's

2640
02:10:03,320 --> 02:10:08,000
Speaker 2: I mean guys that have stones, man like, I.

2641
02:10:08,120 --> 02:10:11,600
Speaker 3: Appreciate that out of out of Toatchets and he does.

2642
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:14,720
Speaker 2: And the dude, stay with the other piece of this

2643
02:10:14,840 --> 02:10:19,600
Speaker 2: thing is he's been bagged up right, like he's been

2644
02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:23,480
Speaker 2: gotten through it and he's just great. And you watch

2645
02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:31,640
Speaker 2: him and his movements are so uh pointed that it

2646
02:10:31,920 --> 02:10:34,520
Speaker 2: just makes him so dangerous bizarre.

2647
02:10:34,440 --> 02:10:36,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, because he's not moving very fast because he can't,

2648
02:10:37,280 --> 02:10:40,080
Speaker 6: but very methodical and there's there's a you know, there's

2649
02:10:40,080 --> 02:10:42,560
Speaker 6: a reason in a rhythm to everything that he does make.

2650
02:10:42,520 --> 02:10:44,200
Speaker 3: It even more impressive. I mean, I love, you.

2651
02:10:45,720 --> 02:10:47,600
Speaker 1: Don't have to be fast to be unstoppable.

2652
02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:50,440
Speaker 4: And there are definitely times because you're right, like, you know,

2653
02:10:50,640 --> 02:10:52,960
Speaker 4: we've seen fast and quick twitch and all of these

2654
02:10:53,040 --> 02:10:56,000
Speaker 4: things that's not Luca. But certainly even when you're you're

2655
02:10:56,080 --> 02:10:57,840
Speaker 4: just face faced with him. The guys don't know how

2656
02:10:57,840 --> 02:10:59,880
Speaker 4: to stop him. He's able to get his shot for

2657
02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:01,200
Speaker 4: wherever he wants to get his shot.

2658
02:11:01,600 --> 02:11:02,600
Speaker 1: You're totally right about that.

2659
02:11:03,880 --> 02:11:08,920
Speaker 2: It's so interesting watching him, you know, as they're blitzing

2660
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:16,240
Speaker 2: him and he's just feeding Gafford and feeding Lively, you know.

2661
02:11:16,720 --> 02:11:20,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's that that seems it's amazing.

2662
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:22,880
Speaker 2: I was talking to Tim Legler about this the other

2663
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:27,160
Speaker 2: day and he said he was doing the NBA Trade

2664
02:11:27,200 --> 02:11:30,480
Speaker 2: Deadline show and they get to the end of the

2665
02:11:30,560 --> 02:11:32,600
Speaker 2: show and he goes, hey, am we going to talk

2666
02:11:32,640 --> 02:11:34,720
Speaker 2: about PJ Washington?

2667
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:35,120
Speaker 1: Right?

2668
02:11:35,320 --> 02:11:36,640
Speaker 3: Am I going to talk about Washington?

2669
02:11:36,680 --> 02:11:39,200
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna talk about Gafford and the whole thing

2670
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:43,840
Speaker 2: and those moves that Dallas made And they were like nah,

2671
02:11:43,880 --> 02:11:46,840
Speaker 2: because it wasn't sexy, and he was like, I actually

2672
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:49,600
Speaker 2: think that those were really impactful moves.

2673
02:11:49,760 --> 02:11:52,520
Speaker 3: It turns out like it winds up saving the whole season.

2674
02:11:54,360 --> 02:11:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and good on Legs for seeing that quickly. He

2675
02:11:57,760 --> 02:11:58,360
Speaker 1: always does.

2676
02:11:58,480 --> 02:12:00,280
Speaker 4: Like that's why he's one of the best in the

2677
02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:02,680
Speaker 4: business that being able to see that and also a

2678
02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:07,280
Speaker 4: reminder that no matter what sport we're talking about, complimentary

2679
02:12:07,640 --> 02:12:09,520
Speaker 4: is an important part of it. Like we get so

2680
02:12:09,640 --> 02:12:13,440
Speaker 4: infatuated with certain names that we just forget that at

2681
02:12:13,520 --> 02:12:15,880
Speaker 4: some point guys running front offices and Bobby Marks used

2682
02:12:15,920 --> 02:12:17,280
Speaker 4: to talk to me about this all the time, like

2683
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:19,360
Speaker 4: you've really got to look at it and say, Okay,

2684
02:12:19,440 --> 02:12:21,280
Speaker 4: I can have the best ingredients in the world, but

2685
02:12:21,360 --> 02:12:23,600
Speaker 4: I don't make a great dish unless I get the

2686
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:26,200
Speaker 4: things that go together with each other well. And that's

2687
02:12:26,240 --> 02:12:28,760
Speaker 4: something that you know, at times in his career when

2688
02:12:28,800 --> 02:12:30,920
Speaker 4: he was running teams he didn't have the necessarily have

2689
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:33,640
Speaker 4: the opportunity to do because of the way owners wanted

2690
02:12:33,680 --> 02:12:35,760
Speaker 4: the teams to be built. You know, I think there

2691
02:12:35,920 --> 02:12:38,840
Speaker 4: is a level to me of looking around, and you

2692
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:42,160
Speaker 4: said it earlier. I think it's pretty stunning just how

2693
02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:44,040
Speaker 4: much I take for granted right now, the fact that

2694
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:46,360
Speaker 4: Kyrie and Luca figured out how to play together, but

2695
02:12:46,480 --> 02:12:48,560
Speaker 4: then all these ancillary pieces have worked.

2696
02:12:48,360 --> 02:12:50,920
Speaker 1: Out so perfectly. But that is truly one of the

2697
02:12:50,960 --> 02:12:52,600
Speaker 1: more stunning developments of the playoffs.

2698
02:12:53,560 --> 02:12:56,680
Speaker 2: Really is really is allright, boys, let's get back to

2699
02:12:56,800 --> 02:13:00,360
Speaker 2: our NFL wind totals, because all roads on the show

2700
02:13:01,200 --> 02:13:08,520
Speaker 2: lead back to football Cincinnati. How about this ten and

2701
02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:13,240
Speaker 2: a half and it's minus one twenty five. It is

2702
02:13:13,320 --> 02:13:14,200
Speaker 2: being steed.

2703
02:13:15,520 --> 02:13:18,840
Speaker 4: What do you think, FITZI, I mean, I'm high on

2704
02:13:18,880 --> 02:13:20,880
Speaker 4: the Bengals this year because if not now, then when

2705
02:13:21,320 --> 02:13:23,720
Speaker 4: like this is I know nobody.

2706
02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:25,960
Speaker 1: Ever puts pressure on Joe Burrow, but why I keep

2707
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:26,320
Speaker 1: saying it.

2708
02:13:26,360 --> 02:13:29,000
Speaker 4: I've said it with you guys before, like injury prone

2709
02:13:29,080 --> 02:13:30,840
Speaker 4: is a fair label to put on him, no matter

2710
02:13:30,920 --> 02:13:33,000
Speaker 4: how the injuries are coming. We don't ever seem to

2711
02:13:33,040 --> 02:13:35,840
Speaker 4: want to have the context around how Lamar got injured.

2712
02:13:35,880 --> 02:13:38,280
Speaker 4: When he got injured, we just say, oh, well, that's

2713
02:13:38,320 --> 02:13:40,800
Speaker 4: what happens when you're a mobile quarterback. Forgetting that his

2714
02:13:40,960 --> 02:13:43,080
Speaker 4: injuries came in the pocket now while it was running.

2715
02:13:43,160 --> 02:13:45,800
Speaker 4: So I'm looking squarely at Joe Burrow and saying how

2716
02:13:45,880 --> 02:13:48,240
Speaker 4: many years of his career are we going to have

2717
02:13:48,360 --> 02:13:51,320
Speaker 4: to lose or lose part of due to injuries? So

2718
02:13:51,920 --> 02:13:54,480
Speaker 4: Burrow's back and the Bengals believe that they're all in

2719
02:13:54,720 --> 02:13:57,320
Speaker 4: simply because let's be real, if they didn't, they would

2720
02:13:57,360 --> 02:13:58,320
Speaker 4: have traded t Higgins.

2721
02:13:58,440 --> 02:13:59,320
Speaker 1: So they think they're all in.

2722
02:13:59,840 --> 02:14:03,160
Speaker 4: He also said it OTAs he's still feeling pain, which

2723
02:14:03,680 --> 02:14:06,040
Speaker 4: you know he said might be normal, might not. Joe

2724
02:14:06,080 --> 02:14:09,520
Speaker 4: Burrow said to the local reporters that he's looked it

2725
02:14:09,640 --> 02:14:12,600
Speaker 4: up and never found another quarterback that has had the

2726
02:14:12,680 --> 02:14:16,680
Speaker 4: injury he just had. So Burrow is telling you he's hurt, weird,

2727
02:14:16,720 --> 02:14:19,800
Speaker 4: and he's still hurt. That being said, if he's still

2728
02:14:19,880 --> 02:14:21,720
Speaker 4: if he can't get it right this year, then the

2729
02:14:21,760 --> 02:14:24,560
Speaker 4: Bengals are screwed. Right, So ten and a half feels

2730
02:14:24,680 --> 02:14:27,240
Speaker 4: like they have to get over that number if they

2731
02:14:27,280 --> 02:14:28,560
Speaker 4: are at all going to be who we thought they

2732
02:14:28,600 --> 02:14:30,000
Speaker 4: were going to be. They're supposed to be the air

2733
02:14:30,040 --> 02:14:32,360
Speaker 4: upayer team that can take down the Chiefs. I still

2734
02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:34,320
Speaker 4: believe they can be. I take the over on it.

2735
02:14:34,800 --> 02:14:37,080
Speaker 4: If they don't hit the over on this, then I

2736
02:14:37,160 --> 02:14:40,320
Speaker 4: think we have an obligation to start having tough conversations

2737
02:14:40,640 --> 02:14:42,960
Speaker 4: about Joe Burrow and where he is in his career

2738
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:43,480
Speaker 4: at this point.

2739
02:14:45,240 --> 02:14:49,640
Speaker 5: Figure Yeah, I'm with you, and I think it's going

2740
02:14:49,680 --> 02:14:51,200
Speaker 5: to be a bounce back year for Joe Burrow.

2741
02:14:51,280 --> 02:14:51,480
Speaker 1: It is.

2742
02:14:51,640 --> 02:14:53,120
Speaker 5: It's going to be a big season for end the guy.

2743
02:14:53,200 --> 02:14:54,640
Speaker 6: I just have to be able to stay healthy that's

2744
02:14:54,680 --> 02:14:57,600
Speaker 6: been dried up there with some of the best quarterbacks

2745
02:14:57,600 --> 02:14:59,480
Speaker 6: in the NFL. Is certainly his pay like it, but

2746
02:14:59,520 --> 02:15:01,840
Speaker 6: its until he stays on the field for a full season,

2747
02:15:02,520 --> 02:15:04,280
Speaker 6: you know it's going to be tough sledding.

2748
02:15:04,400 --> 02:15:07,400
Speaker 5: I'm I'm going to reluctantly go go with the over.

2749
02:15:08,120 --> 02:15:09,440
Speaker 5: I don't know if T Higgins.

2750
02:15:10,520 --> 02:15:12,920
Speaker 6: You know, is that they clearly as you as you

2751
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:15,320
Speaker 6: mentioned fits, you made the investment to keep them on

2752
02:15:15,320 --> 02:15:17,000
Speaker 6: the team and not trade him away. So they think

2753
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:18,920
Speaker 6: that they're going to be able to compete in that

2754
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:22,280
Speaker 6: division and they will whether or not that that defense

2755
02:15:22,400 --> 02:15:24,600
Speaker 6: is aging a little bit, and we know the Bengals are.

2756
02:15:24,720 --> 02:15:26,520
Speaker 6: They kind of cycle through guys once they're not able

2757
02:15:26,560 --> 02:15:30,640
Speaker 6: to resign them, so we'll see what happens. I'm cautiously

2758
02:15:30,720 --> 02:15:32,760
Speaker 6: optimistic about Cincinnati, so I'll take.

2759
02:15:32,640 --> 02:15:34,640
Speaker 5: The over, but I'm not ultra confident about it.

2760
02:15:34,960 --> 02:15:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I listen, it's a tough call for me.

2761
02:15:37,840 --> 02:15:41,840
Speaker 3: I you guys make compelling case for it. Ten and

2762
02:15:41,920 --> 02:15:42,240
Speaker 3: a half.

2763
02:15:42,360 --> 02:15:47,160
Speaker 6: This feels feels heavy, right Yeah. I mean because I

2764
02:15:47,200 --> 02:15:50,040
Speaker 6: could see ten and seven right right right, I can

2765
02:15:50,080 --> 02:15:51,800
Speaker 6: see ten wins. I can see now if it was

2766
02:15:51,880 --> 02:15:53,240
Speaker 6: nine and a half, I feel like I might be

2767
02:15:53,400 --> 02:15:54,680
Speaker 6: a lot more comfortable.

2768
02:15:54,280 --> 02:15:54,680
Speaker 1: With the over.

2769
02:15:55,040 --> 02:15:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's why I want to go on there, only

2770
02:15:57,080 --> 02:15:59,560
Speaker 2: because of that but yeah, I mean, you guys are

2771
02:15:59,720 --> 02:16:01,120
Speaker 2: are spot on, you know.

2772
02:16:01,440 --> 02:16:03,800
Speaker 3: I mean it's one of the lines that I think

2773
02:16:03,880 --> 02:16:04,680
Speaker 3: is right on because I.

2774
02:16:04,720 --> 02:16:08,720
Speaker 2: See ten wins out of them and full disclosure through

2775
02:16:08,800 --> 02:16:11,280
Speaker 2: some schedules I went through. I didn't go through the schedule,

2776
02:16:11,360 --> 02:16:15,720
Speaker 2: FITZI looked at the schedule. How's that Bengals, how does

2777
02:16:15,800 --> 02:16:16,640
Speaker 2: that schedule look?

2778
02:16:17,160 --> 02:16:19,320
Speaker 4: Oh, they come out hot because they got the Patriots

2779
02:16:19,400 --> 02:16:20,800
Speaker 4: Week one, and I think they're gonna be one of

2780
02:16:20,840 --> 02:16:23,200
Speaker 4: the worst teams in the NFL. Then they have the

2781
02:16:23,360 --> 02:16:28,280
Speaker 4: Chiefs that stuff Washington, Carolina, Baltimore's tough than the Giants.

2782
02:16:28,400 --> 02:16:31,680
Speaker 4: Then the Browns, Eagles, Raiders. I mean, it's pretty it's

2783
02:16:31,760 --> 02:16:34,360
Speaker 4: pretty favorable for them. Even towards the end of the season.

2784
02:16:34,720 --> 02:16:37,439
Speaker 4: They get the Titans, the Browns, the Broncos, the Steelers,

2785
02:16:37,480 --> 02:16:40,720
Speaker 4: the Browns, Broncos, Steelers, those are all winnable games. So

2786
02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:44,040
Speaker 4: I feel like it's pretty easy to find the wins

2787
02:16:44,080 --> 02:16:44,600
Speaker 4: on their form.

2788
02:16:45,120 --> 02:16:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. Brown's eight and a half.

2789
02:16:50,879 --> 02:16:54,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so the Browns. Here's the thing. Let's be real.

2790
02:16:54,959 --> 02:16:58,200
Speaker 4: Last year, the Browns had one real liability. Their roster

2791
02:16:58,879 --> 02:17:02,760
Speaker 4: is absolutely be super Bowl worthy. The quarterback is not

2792
02:17:02,959 --> 02:17:05,440
Speaker 4: super Bowl worthy, and everybody keeps trying to make some

2793
02:17:05,560 --> 02:17:07,360
Speaker 4: excuse for why it's going to turn around, Like what

2794
02:17:07,440 --> 02:17:09,200
Speaker 4: if he's just got the yips? At this point, I'm

2795
02:17:09,240 --> 02:17:11,680
Speaker 4: not even talking about the other stuff. I'm just talking

2796
02:17:11,680 --> 02:17:15,800
Speaker 4: about Watson, you know, on the field. What if, like

2797
02:17:15,920 --> 02:17:18,280
Speaker 4: what if this is just the version of him moving forward?

2798
02:17:18,320 --> 02:17:21,080
Speaker 4: And if that is, it's going to be heavy sledding

2799
02:17:21,160 --> 02:17:24,160
Speaker 4: for them the whole way, the whole way. So look,

2800
02:17:24,240 --> 02:17:27,680
Speaker 4: I think the Browns are a super Bowl caliber football team,

2801
02:17:27,920 --> 02:17:29,760
Speaker 4: but I don't trust to Sean Watson, so I take

2802
02:17:29,800 --> 02:17:31,640
Speaker 4: the under, even though I think the rest of their

2803
02:17:31,720 --> 02:17:34,440
Speaker 4: roster could be arguably.

2804
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:37,360
Speaker 1: The best in the NFL. If they even got even

2805
02:17:37,440 --> 02:17:38,200
Speaker 1: got just.

2806
02:17:38,480 --> 02:17:41,640
Speaker 4: Slightly above a B minus quarterback play, they're a super

2807
02:17:41,680 --> 02:17:42,080
Speaker 4: Bowl team.

2808
02:17:42,160 --> 02:17:42,720
Speaker 1: I just don't know that.

2809
02:17:42,920 --> 02:17:45,000
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, though, because I agree

2810
02:17:45,040 --> 02:17:49,280
Speaker 2: with like your assessment. But it's only eight and a half.

2811
02:17:50,240 --> 02:17:52,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Joe Flako Cann come back again

2812
02:17:52,760 --> 02:17:53,640
Speaker 2: and get nine.

2813
02:17:54,800 --> 02:17:56,560
Speaker 4: I thought you, I thought you said nine and a half. Yeah,

2814
02:17:56,560 --> 02:17:57,960
Speaker 4: I'll take the over on eight and half because I

2815
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:01,360
Speaker 4: think nine is right. But yeah, okay, that yeah, I'll give.

2816
02:18:01,240 --> 02:18:03,200
Speaker 6: You yeah, sure right, yeah, yeah, because I'm thinking even

2817
02:18:03,240 --> 02:18:05,400
Speaker 6: if Watson falls off a cliff again, that the team

2818
02:18:05,520 --> 02:18:08,760
Speaker 6: is so stacked. If you just have somewhat competent quarterback play,

2819
02:18:09,240 --> 02:18:11,120
Speaker 6: you know you should be able to get what nine wins.

2820
02:18:11,640 --> 02:18:13,440
Speaker 5: I won't say fairly easily. It's not easy to get

2821
02:18:13,520 --> 02:18:14,560
Speaker 5: nine wins, but you have.

2822
02:18:14,680 --> 02:18:18,440
Speaker 6: The capability, realistically speaking with the backup quarterback to be

2823
02:18:18,480 --> 02:18:19,480
Speaker 6: able to get that many wins.

2824
02:18:19,480 --> 02:18:20,240
Speaker 5: So I'll take the over.

2825
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:23,120
Speaker 3: All, Right, let's do one more and we'll take a

2826
02:18:23,400 --> 02:18:34,600
Speaker 3: quick too. Oh, the Cowboys ten and a f O

2827
02:18:35,800 --> 02:18:38,199
Speaker 3: ten and af A Dallas.

2828
02:18:40,080 --> 02:18:40,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna have.

2829
02:18:41,080 --> 02:18:44,280
Speaker 4: They gotta have seven losses on their schedule for me

2830
02:18:44,400 --> 02:18:47,800
Speaker 4: to feel good about there's one, two, three, they split there,

2831
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:49,120
Speaker 4: four or five?

2832
02:18:49,720 --> 02:18:50,480
Speaker 1: I take the over.

2833
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:53,000
Speaker 4: Taking the over, I think the death of the Cowboys

2834
02:18:53,120 --> 02:18:55,120
Speaker 4: is being widely, wildly over reported.

2835
02:18:55,200 --> 02:18:55,680
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.

2836
02:18:56,000 --> 02:18:57,960
Speaker 4: I don't think they're any closer to a super Bowl

2837
02:18:58,000 --> 02:19:00,120
Speaker 4: than they were a year ago. But they want a

2838
02:19:00,240 --> 02:19:02,640
Speaker 4: lot of games last year and there's still a team

2839
02:19:02,680 --> 02:19:04,640
Speaker 4: that can go out and win a lot of games.

2840
02:19:04,680 --> 02:19:07,360
Speaker 4: Can Dak Prescott win a playoff game? Can Mike McCarthy

2841
02:19:07,400 --> 02:19:09,440
Speaker 4: get him where they want to be in the Promised Land?

2842
02:19:09,680 --> 02:19:11,400
Speaker 4: Do they have the guys in the clutch that they need,

2843
02:19:11,520 --> 02:19:13,400
Speaker 4: do they have the dog in the locker room? Those

2844
02:19:13,440 --> 02:19:16,920
Speaker 4: are all really valuable conversations that we should have in January.

2845
02:19:17,200 --> 02:19:19,240
Speaker 4: Can they win a bunch of regular season games they

2846
02:19:19,280 --> 02:19:19,920
Speaker 4: did last year?

2847
02:19:20,360 --> 02:19:20,880
Speaker 1: I just don't.

2848
02:19:21,080 --> 02:19:24,680
Speaker 3: I don't think there's one games. To your point, They've

2849
02:19:24,840 --> 02:19:27,600
Speaker 3: won more games than anybody over the last three years.

2850
02:19:29,040 --> 02:19:32,240
Speaker 1: I just I think that continues. This reminds me a

2851
02:19:32,280 --> 02:19:32,680
Speaker 1: little bit.

2852
02:19:32,720 --> 02:19:35,080
Speaker 4: What's happening right now for the Cowboys reminds me of

2853
02:19:35,120 --> 02:19:37,840
Speaker 4: the Bills conversation last year, where everybody kept saying.

2854
02:19:37,640 --> 02:19:39,720
Speaker 1: The Bills, You're gonna fall off the cliff, and I'm like.

2855
02:19:40,480 --> 02:19:42,560
Speaker 4: The Bills may not be able to take down Kansas City,

2856
02:19:42,840 --> 02:19:44,800
Speaker 4: They're still gonna win a lot of regular season games.

2857
02:19:45,040 --> 02:19:47,160
Speaker 4: Cowboys in the same exact situation for me, So I.

2858
02:19:47,200 --> 02:19:47,680
Speaker 1: Take the over.

2859
02:19:48,280 --> 02:19:49,400
Speaker 3: What's your schedule look like?

2860
02:19:50,400 --> 02:19:54,520
Speaker 4: They open at Cleveland, then they have New Orleans, Baltimore,

2861
02:19:54,760 --> 02:19:57,520
Speaker 4: the Giants, the Steelers, the Lions of forty nine ers.

2862
02:19:57,560 --> 02:19:58,400
Speaker 1: There's some tough in there.

2863
02:19:58,720 --> 02:20:00,880
Speaker 4: There's some tough but the end of their schedule, the

2864
02:20:01,000 --> 02:20:04,160
Speaker 4: last month of their schedule is at Carolina, Tampa Bay,

2865
02:20:04,360 --> 02:20:07,200
Speaker 4: at Philly, and then Washington and they could win three

2866
02:20:07,200 --> 02:20:08,600
Speaker 4: out of four of those even if they split with

2867
02:20:08,640 --> 02:20:09,080
Speaker 4: the Eagles.

2868
02:20:09,600 --> 02:20:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we fig what you got, buddy.

2869
02:20:12,680 --> 02:20:15,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, Cowboys are a great regular season team. They have

2870
02:20:15,360 --> 02:20:17,920
Speaker 5: been for the longest time. I mean, what the number was,

2871
02:20:17,920 --> 02:20:19,200
Speaker 5: what was it? Was it ten and a half?

2872
02:20:19,240 --> 02:20:20,600
Speaker 3: You said and a half?

2873
02:20:20,760 --> 02:20:24,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh in that division, I'll take ten and a

2874
02:20:24,200 --> 02:20:26,280
Speaker 6: half with them and the Eagles kind of battling it out.

2875
02:20:26,640 --> 02:20:28,280
Speaker 6: So yeah, ten and a half seems safe to me

2876
02:20:28,400 --> 02:20:29,840
Speaker 6: for from a regular season standpoint.

2877
02:20:29,879 --> 02:20:33,040
Speaker 3: For them, My only thing is their running back room.

2878
02:20:33,040 --> 02:20:35,760
Speaker 3: It's horrible. Yeah, awful.

2879
02:20:36,280 --> 02:20:38,040
Speaker 6: Well look, I mean I remember bringing this up, you

2880
02:20:38,120 --> 02:20:39,840
Speaker 6: know when they you know, they cut all their guys loose,

2881
02:20:39,920 --> 02:20:42,160
Speaker 6: and we were like, well, they're well addressed in the draft.

2882
02:20:42,400 --> 02:20:43,160
Speaker 5: Well did they?

2883
02:20:45,040 --> 02:20:48,080
Speaker 3: No, I haven't. I haven't feeling that. I felt the

2884
02:20:48,120 --> 02:20:48,800
Speaker 3: same thing you did.

2885
02:20:48,840 --> 02:20:51,160
Speaker 2: I think you're spot on, and I got a feeling

2886
02:20:51,280 --> 02:20:56,360
Speaker 2: that this is the implosion and that Belichick's there next year.

2887
02:20:57,879 --> 02:20:58,760
Speaker 1: Here's here's you know.

2888
02:20:58,800 --> 02:21:02,040
Speaker 4: What's great about this, Well, I'll tell you there's the

2889
02:21:02,400 --> 02:21:04,280
Speaker 4: Cowboys to me, the best thing in the world, because

2890
02:21:04,320 --> 02:21:07,879
Speaker 4: we can't lose this year. If they absolutely suck, then

2891
02:21:07,920 --> 02:21:11,600
Speaker 4: this holding implodes. Even better is if Dak goes out

2892
02:21:11,640 --> 02:21:14,360
Speaker 4: and wins the MVP, they win a couple of playoff games,

2893
02:21:14,600 --> 02:21:17,080
Speaker 4: and then he turns around to Jerry Jones and he says, now,

2894
02:21:17,400 --> 02:21:19,120
Speaker 4: my contract says you can't franchise me.

2895
02:21:19,360 --> 02:21:22,040
Speaker 1: My contract says you can't trade me. You didn't pay me.

2896
02:21:22,240 --> 02:21:24,080
Speaker 4: I would like to see what the open market will

2897
02:21:24,160 --> 02:21:26,760
Speaker 4: coming off an MVP caliber season when nobody can stop

2898
02:21:26,879 --> 02:21:29,760
Speaker 4: him all just to watch him leave Jerry at the

2899
02:21:30,040 --> 02:21:32,360
Speaker 4: altar because he wants to take money from somebody else.

2900
02:21:32,640 --> 02:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Injected in my bains, we get trauma either way.

2901
02:21:36,879 --> 02:21:38,600
Speaker 3: If I'm Jerry, I go see you, buddy.

2902
02:21:38,800 --> 02:21:43,800
Speaker 5: Hell, I'll do Jerry to be strong armed.

2903
02:21:44,360 --> 02:21:46,039
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying if he goes out there, and.

2904
02:21:48,120 --> 02:21:49,600
Speaker 4: If he if he goes out there and is an

2905
02:21:49,800 --> 02:21:53,040
Speaker 4: MVP candidate and then he's like or an MVP. I

2906
02:21:53,120 --> 02:21:55,080
Speaker 4: want Dak to win the MVP and then tell the

2907
02:21:55,160 --> 02:21:56,800
Speaker 4: cowboys up here that's what I really want.

2908
02:21:56,879 --> 02:21:57,480
Speaker 1: I think he'd be able.

2909
02:21:57,720 --> 02:22:00,960
Speaker 3: Here's the problem. Who would the MVP and he'll play

2910
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:02,840
Speaker 3: horrifically in the playoffs and lose.

2911
02:22:04,760 --> 02:22:06,720
Speaker 1: That is you know, you may not be wrong, but.

2912
02:22:08,440 --> 02:22:10,080
Speaker 4: I know plenty of teams will go out there and

2913
02:22:10,160 --> 02:22:12,280
Speaker 4: pay him that MVP money even if he loses in

2914
02:22:12,360 --> 02:22:12,879
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

2915
02:22:13,200 --> 02:22:16,959
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, somebody else. Let somebody else do it. I'm

02:22:42,280 --> 02:22:43,760
Speaker 3: T Mark, and Ian.

2922
02:22:45,520 --> 02:22:47,640
Speaker 2: We love our Ian and Mighty Mark their produce, this

2923
02:22:47,760 --> 02:22:51,080
Speaker 2: thing doing a great job as always. All right, let's

2924
02:22:51,120 --> 02:22:54,920
Speaker 2: get back to, uh, the cowboy thing. You're right though, Fitzy,

2925
02:22:55,040 --> 02:22:56,800
Speaker 2: just to put a bow on that. That's gonna be

2926
02:22:56,959 --> 02:23:00,680
Speaker 2: incredible because you're right, if they you know, do well,

2927
02:23:01,080 --> 02:23:04,600
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, it's a story. And if they implode,

2928
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:09,400
Speaker 2: you know, it's the Belichick watch and the whole thing.

2929
02:23:10,720 --> 02:23:16,120
Speaker 4: But also, like the only way now, because you guys

2930
02:23:16,160 --> 02:23:18,960
Speaker 4: mentioned it, the running back room is awful. We all

2931
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:21,800
Speaker 4: agree that the running back room is awful. So what

2932
02:23:21,920 --> 02:23:23,640
Speaker 4: the cowboys have told us is that the only way

2933
02:23:23,680 --> 02:23:25,680
Speaker 4: they believe they can win. For the way that they're

2934
02:23:25,680 --> 02:23:27,440
Speaker 4: going to win, the number of games they need to

2935
02:23:27,480 --> 02:23:30,560
Speaker 4: win is if they put it on Dak's shoulders, which means,

2936
02:23:30,680 --> 02:23:33,040
Speaker 4: coming off a year where he completed almost seventy percent

2937
02:23:33,080 --> 02:23:35,320
Speaker 4: of his passes for forty five hundred yards and thirty

2938
02:23:35,360 --> 02:23:38,440
Speaker 4: six touchdowns, the only way that they're going to replicate

2939
02:23:38,520 --> 02:23:41,959
Speaker 4: that level of success is if he replicates at least

2940
02:23:42,200 --> 02:23:46,240
Speaker 4: that level of success, which means they're actually the path

2941
02:23:46,320 --> 02:23:48,680
Speaker 4: for the Cowboys to be great requires that the player

2942
02:23:48,720 --> 02:23:51,680
Speaker 4: that they haven't gotten under contract next year have a career.

2943
02:23:52,120 --> 02:23:53,959
Speaker 1: That's it, and I think it can happen.

2944
02:23:54,080 --> 02:23:56,280
Speaker 4: Like I honestly think as well as Dak was playing

2945
02:23:56,400 --> 02:23:59,760
Speaker 4: last year, I'm holding the playoffs to a total different standard.

2946
02:24:00,120 --> 02:24:02,200
Speaker 1: What do you do if you are the Cowboys?

2947
02:24:02,520 --> 02:24:04,560
Speaker 4: You turn around and you win twelve thirteen games this

2948
02:24:04,680 --> 02:24:08,720
Speaker 4: year Dak puts up forty six forty seven hundred yards forty.

2949
02:24:08,520 --> 02:24:12,119
Speaker 1: Touchdowns is an MVP. Let's say he wins.

2950
02:24:11,959 --> 02:24:14,480
Speaker 4: A first round home playoff game, loses in the NFC

2951
02:24:14,640 --> 02:24:17,640
Speaker 4: Championship game even and all of a sudden, now Dak

2952
02:24:17,680 --> 02:24:20,480
Speaker 4: looks around and says, well, here's the thing, y'all didn't

2953
02:24:20,480 --> 02:24:22,760
Speaker 4: get me what I wanted when I wanted it. Now

2954
02:24:23,360 --> 02:24:25,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go at least see if somebody else wants

2955
02:24:25,840 --> 02:24:28,039
Speaker 4: to love me a little bit more. And like, as

2956
02:24:28,080 --> 02:24:30,320
Speaker 4: I've said a million times, you want to tell me

2957
02:24:30,400 --> 02:24:32,640
Speaker 4: that a team like the Raiders that can't address the

2958
02:24:32,720 --> 02:24:35,760
Speaker 4: quarterback position won't turn around and say, Okay, we need

2959
02:24:35,800 --> 02:24:38,240
Speaker 4: a quarterback and he's fine, we'll give you fifty five

2960
02:24:38,280 --> 02:24:39,879
Speaker 4: I don't care give you fifty five million.

2961
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:40,520
Speaker 1: Let's go Dak.

2962
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:43,240
Speaker 4: The Cowboys are going to be in a very precarious

2963
02:24:43,280 --> 02:24:46,200
Speaker 4: that one or two things happens. They're successful and they're screwed,

2964
02:24:46,640 --> 02:24:50,040
Speaker 4: or they are absolutely terrible and they're screwed. Either way,

2965
02:24:50,080 --> 02:24:51,080
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are up a creek.

2966
02:24:52,800 --> 02:24:56,560
Speaker 2: You know what's weird about Dak is that. And maybe

2967
02:24:56,560 --> 02:24:59,720
Speaker 2: it's because of the playoff bias. And you know, I

2968
02:24:59,760 --> 02:25:02,320
Speaker 2: guess years past you could have said it about a

2969
02:25:02,400 --> 02:25:06,720
Speaker 2: lot of other quarterbacks. But man, I mean, he's he's

2970
02:25:06,840 --> 02:25:09,959
Speaker 2: like the consummate front runner. Like he when he does

2971
02:25:10,120 --> 02:25:14,360
Speaker 2: really well, like when they're rolling, he looks incredible, like

2972
02:25:14,480 --> 02:25:17,680
Speaker 2: he doesn't mean he's throwing dimes and he's spreading the

2973
02:25:17,800 --> 02:25:23,320
Speaker 2: ball round, mousehole throws, pillow throws. But man, when they're not,

2974
02:25:23,800 --> 02:25:28,640
Speaker 2: he's he's awful and he's losing big games. It's why

2975
02:25:28,800 --> 02:25:33,240
Speaker 2: can't It's hard for me to divorce the playoff DAC

2976
02:25:33,440 --> 02:25:37,359
Speaker 2: and the big game Dack. You know from the equation,

2977
02:25:37,520 --> 02:25:39,520
Speaker 2: it's why if I'm the Raiders, I go do? I

2978
02:25:39,640 --> 02:25:42,360
Speaker 2: want to go and and go sell out?

2979
02:25:42,480 --> 02:25:42,760
Speaker 1: For what?

2980
02:25:43,120 --> 02:25:45,760
Speaker 3: What am I buying? Am I gonna? Am I getting

2981
02:25:45,800 --> 02:25:47,560
Speaker 3: a guy that could actually win?

2982
02:25:49,520 --> 02:25:52,840
Speaker 4: Here's the thing though, Like, if you are one of

2983
02:25:53,160 --> 02:25:55,880
Speaker 4: many of the teams in the league that just don't

2984
02:25:56,240 --> 02:25:59,400
Speaker 4: have an answer at quarterback, what else are you gonna do?

2985
02:26:00,160 --> 02:26:01,920
Speaker 1: Like, and look, it's early.

2986
02:26:02,080 --> 02:26:04,600
Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels a year ago wasn't a household name, but

2987
02:26:04,760 --> 02:26:08,119
Speaker 4: right now next year's draft class looks abysmal. So if

2988
02:26:08,160 --> 02:26:10,160
Speaker 4: you're a team that's coming into it and you're saying, man,

2989
02:26:10,240 --> 02:26:13,680
Speaker 4: I just don't have the quarterback. I need a quarterback,

2990
02:26:14,160 --> 02:26:17,160
Speaker 4: where else are you going to find one other than

2991
02:26:17,360 --> 02:26:19,920
Speaker 4: looking at you know, if you got the choice between

2992
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:22,760
Speaker 4: overpaying Dak or continuing to run around with aid and

2993
02:26:22,800 --> 02:26:25,640
Speaker 4: O'Connell or Gardner Minshew, Like that just doesn't feel like

2994
02:26:25,680 --> 02:26:28,480
Speaker 4: that's a recipe for success. If the wheels fall off

2995
02:26:28,480 --> 02:26:31,920
Speaker 4: for cl and Geno stinks, Like, what are you going

2996
02:26:31,959 --> 02:26:34,160
Speaker 4: to do if you can't replace him, so like what.

2997
02:26:34,200 --> 02:26:37,560
Speaker 2: I mean, but at some point you have to you

2998
02:26:37,680 --> 02:26:42,400
Speaker 2: got to hold your patience and not sell your franchise

2999
02:26:42,680 --> 02:26:46,200
Speaker 2: because you're right, Like, would I rather have Dak or

3000
02:26:46,280 --> 02:26:47,000
Speaker 2: Aid O'Connell.

3001
02:26:47,600 --> 02:26:50,120
Speaker 3: It's not even a question, right or minshew? I mean

3002
02:26:50,120 --> 02:26:50,920
Speaker 3: it's not even close.

3003
02:26:51,480 --> 02:26:55,640
Speaker 2: But the cost and I'm now going to hand my

3004
02:26:56,480 --> 02:27:00,640
Speaker 2: franchise over to him, and I yeah, I don't know.

3005
02:27:00,760 --> 02:27:03,279
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, but maybe I can't find my quarterback

3006
02:27:03,320 --> 02:27:04,879
Speaker 2: this year, but maybe I can find him next year.

3007
02:27:05,680 --> 02:27:05,800
Speaker 3: Right.

3008
02:27:05,920 --> 02:27:07,920
Speaker 4: The hardest part about all of that is that even

3009
02:27:07,920 --> 02:27:10,680
Speaker 4: if you're the Cowboys, So let's say the Giants decide

3010
02:27:10,680 --> 02:27:12,160
Speaker 4: they want to make a home run offer to bring

3011
02:27:12,280 --> 02:27:14,920
Speaker 4: in Dak just to just playing here. Right, But again,

3012
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:17,160
Speaker 4: I'll go back to the Raiders' analogy on this, because

3013
02:27:17,480 --> 02:27:19,920
Speaker 4: the decision not to pay Derek Carr was the right one.

3014
02:27:20,040 --> 02:27:22,600
Speaker 4: I agree with the decision not to pay pay Derek Carr.

3015
02:27:22,959 --> 02:27:24,920
Speaker 4: But what happens when you don't pay Derek Carr? What

3016
02:27:25,040 --> 02:27:27,000
Speaker 4: happens when you just decide to let Derek car go?

3017
02:27:27,560 --> 02:27:29,960
Speaker 4: You end up with Aid no connell and Gardner minshew? Right,

3018
02:27:30,040 --> 02:27:33,320
Speaker 4: what happens if you're the Cowboys how are you replacing

3019
02:27:33,440 --> 02:27:36,320
Speaker 4: the productivity of Dak So you're right, like, at some

3020
02:27:36,440 --> 02:27:40,880
Speaker 4: point cost doesn't support the decision to give that sort

3021
02:27:40,879 --> 02:27:43,000
Speaker 4: of a contract to a player that's not winning a

3022
02:27:43,040 --> 02:27:45,200
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. But the other side of it is, if

3023
02:27:45,280 --> 02:27:47,680
Speaker 4: not him, then who is your answer? Because if you

3024
02:27:47,800 --> 02:27:50,160
Speaker 4: go into the season with no answer to quarterback, you

3025
02:27:50,240 --> 02:27:53,000
Speaker 4: get no respect. You have no concept of being able

3026
02:27:53,040 --> 02:27:54,800
Speaker 4: to win a lot of football games. It's just it

3027
02:27:54,920 --> 02:27:56,680
Speaker 4: is so rare but nothing.

3028
02:27:58,280 --> 02:28:01,280
Speaker 2: That's why for the Cowboys it makes more sense to

3029
02:28:01,520 --> 02:28:04,039
Speaker 2: keep back and just you know, and ride it out

3030
02:28:04,200 --> 02:28:06,480
Speaker 2: and change the coach. I'm not a big believer in

3031
02:28:06,560 --> 02:28:09,240
Speaker 2: the coach either, But if you're a team like the

3032
02:28:09,360 --> 02:28:13,280
Speaker 2: Raiders that's not doesn't have super Bowl expectations, you've got

3033
02:28:13,400 --> 02:28:17,039
Speaker 2: to be careful on your next choice, like you don't

3034
02:28:17,080 --> 02:28:20,720
Speaker 2: want to rush into it and you know, go get

3035
02:28:20,800 --> 02:28:21,720
Speaker 2: James Harden.

3036
02:28:23,440 --> 02:28:24,680
Speaker 1: And that You're totally right.

3037
02:28:24,840 --> 02:28:28,879
Speaker 4: Patience for a bunch of billionaires owners is easier said

3038
02:28:28,959 --> 02:28:31,280
Speaker 4: than done, But you are totally right like that. The

3039
02:28:31,680 --> 02:28:33,840
Speaker 4: problem is it's just so hard to get the quarterback

3040
02:28:33,879 --> 02:28:36,320
Speaker 4: that if somebody has had any success, then you just

3041
02:28:36,400 --> 02:28:39,480
Speaker 4: become desperate, like and I'll gain use the Giants, just

3042
02:28:39,520 --> 02:28:42,600
Speaker 4: because Giants sitting at coming off of six and eleven season,

3043
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:44,840
Speaker 4: you know, they have a terrible year this year. Let's

3044
02:28:44,840 --> 02:28:46,520
Speaker 4: say with Daniel Jones, do they want to take the

3045
02:28:46,520 --> 02:28:50,000
Speaker 4: plunge at a quarterback like that? That's the whole Are

3046
02:28:50,080 --> 02:28:52,039
Speaker 4: you going to go take Shade or Sanders and hope

3047
02:28:52,040 --> 02:28:53,880
Speaker 4: that that works out for you? I don't think it will.

3048
02:28:54,040 --> 02:28:56,760
Speaker 4: Like it just gets so difficult when you're stuck in

3049
02:28:56,840 --> 02:28:59,520
Speaker 4: years that don't have great answers at the quarterback positions.

3050
02:28:59,680 --> 02:29:04,760
Speaker 2: That's why you know, being at six, you're you're able

3051
02:29:04,840 --> 02:29:08,080
Speaker 2: to maneuver, but you know, no trades or to be had,

3052
02:29:08,959 --> 02:29:11,160
Speaker 2: and they'd n't force it, and they didn't like any

3053
02:29:11,160 --> 02:29:15,840
Speaker 2: of the other the other quarterbacks, you know, so you

3054
02:29:15,920 --> 02:29:19,520
Speaker 2: know you're sitting there stocking, you drafting the leak neighbors

3055
02:29:19,640 --> 02:29:22,640
Speaker 2: like you know, I mean, I just think that was

3056
02:29:22,720 --> 02:29:23,560
Speaker 2: a wasted pick.

3057
02:29:23,840 --> 02:29:26,640
Speaker 3: I like neighbors. I just again don't think it works

3058
02:29:26,680 --> 02:29:26,959
Speaker 3: for them.

3059
02:29:27,840 --> 02:29:32,680
Speaker 4: I mean, they better hope to hell that JJ McCarthy

3060
02:29:32,840 --> 02:29:34,640
Speaker 4: or Michael Pennick shunr doesn't turn out to be a

3061
02:29:34,680 --> 02:29:38,560
Speaker 4: good quarterback, because that's just gonna lord over the decision

3062
02:29:38,600 --> 02:29:41,160
Speaker 4: making bo Nix any of those guys were available for

3063
02:29:41,200 --> 02:29:44,080
Speaker 4: the Giants and they said no. So now they overpaid

3064
02:29:44,200 --> 02:29:46,840
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones, which was some in a weird situation when

3065
02:29:46,879 --> 02:29:48,240
Speaker 4: they tried to figure out what to do with the

3066
02:29:48,320 --> 02:29:51,160
Speaker 4: quarterback position. And now if they don't have any answer

3067
02:29:51,160 --> 02:29:53,960
Speaker 4: at the quarterback position, they could have to overpay again

3068
02:29:54,040 --> 02:29:56,440
Speaker 4: for mediocrity because they didn't take the chance when they

3069
02:29:56,480 --> 02:29:56,680
Speaker 4: had it.

3070
02:29:56,840 --> 02:29:59,360
Speaker 1: Like, that's the dog chasing its own tail if I've

3071
02:29:59,400 --> 02:29:59,880
Speaker 1: ever seen it.

3072
02:30:01,440 --> 02:30:06,680
Speaker 6: Fig well, you see, you know, the definition of insanity

3073
02:30:06,760 --> 02:30:09,119
Speaker 6: technically is not doing the same thing over and over again.

3074
02:30:09,280 --> 02:30:12,160
Speaker 6: But that's what people run with. That's kind of what

3075
02:30:12,320 --> 02:30:13,760
Speaker 6: it is with dak So, like, do you want to

3076
02:30:13,800 --> 02:30:16,080
Speaker 6: be stuck in mediocrity? Are you contend with this being

3077
02:30:16,120 --> 02:30:18,440
Speaker 6: a ten to eleven win regular season team? I can't

3078
02:30:18,560 --> 02:30:21,360
Speaker 6: just pay a guy, you know, gobs of money knowing

3079
02:30:21,440 --> 02:30:24,080
Speaker 6: that he's gonna fall come up short when it matters

3080
02:30:24,120 --> 02:30:27,240
Speaker 6: the most, I really, I know, finding a decent replacement

3081
02:30:27,320 --> 02:30:32,439
Speaker 6: for a solid starting quarterback is difficult, but ultimately the common.

3082
02:30:32,240 --> 02:30:33,879
Speaker 5: Denominator behind the majority of.

3083
02:30:33,920 --> 02:30:37,440
Speaker 6: Their playoff losses has been his shortcomings, among other things,

3084
02:30:37,520 --> 02:30:40,240
Speaker 6: but many of his shortcomings. So if that's the case,

3085
02:30:40,640 --> 02:30:42,400
Speaker 6: Why am I paying this guy upers of sixty million

3086
02:30:42,440 --> 02:30:43,960
Speaker 6: dollars a year to continue to come up short in

3087
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:44,480
Speaker 6: the playoffs.

3088
02:30:44,920 --> 02:30:46,240
Speaker 5: I would cut bait two.

3089
02:30:46,720 --> 02:30:49,000
Speaker 4: Because the only thing worse than losing in the playoffs

3090
02:30:49,120 --> 02:30:52,080
Speaker 4: is not sniffing them at all. I mean, that's my

3091
02:30:52,160 --> 02:30:54,560
Speaker 4: honest answer to you, is like I understand that, like

3092
02:30:54,680 --> 02:30:56,240
Speaker 4: you have to break through in the playoffs.

3093
02:30:56,280 --> 02:30:58,280
Speaker 1: But hell, there was a period where we sat there

3094
02:30:58,320 --> 02:31:00,880
Speaker 1: for Peyton manning for years win the big Game.

3095
02:31:01,160 --> 02:31:04,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, John Elway couldn't win a Super Bowl until suddenly

3096
02:31:04,560 --> 02:31:06,520
Speaker 4: John Elway had a running back, and then it was

3097
02:31:06,560 --> 02:31:07,640
Speaker 4: like he can win a super Bowl.

3098
02:31:07,720 --> 02:31:09,200
Speaker 3: Like I got there.

3099
02:31:09,240 --> 02:31:10,760
Speaker 5: I mean, Jack can't even get out of the first

3100
02:31:10,840 --> 02:31:12,560
Speaker 5: round game.

3101
02:31:12,680 --> 02:31:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but it takes It's a team game,

3102
02:31:15,720 --> 02:31:17,760
Speaker 1: takes more than one player to turn around.

3103
02:31:17,560 --> 02:31:20,080
Speaker 3: And a Brady standing in his way too.

3104
02:31:20,560 --> 02:31:21,280
Speaker 1: One hundred percent.

3105
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:24,680
Speaker 4: But remember when Peyton came into the league, there was

3106
02:31:24,800 --> 02:31:27,760
Speaker 4: even some there were even doubters that said, well, Tennessee

3107
02:31:27,760 --> 02:31:30,680
Speaker 4: couldn't beat Florida. He couldn't find a way to beat Florida. Look,

3108
02:31:30,760 --> 02:31:33,000
Speaker 4: this just repeats the fact that he can't win the

3109
02:31:33,040 --> 02:31:36,200
Speaker 4: big game. Like those were stupid conversations in hindsight, but

3110
02:31:36,320 --> 02:31:38,280
Speaker 4: he had to break through at some point. Dak sure

3111
02:31:38,600 --> 02:31:40,880
Speaker 4: has to break through to be great. But he's so

3112
02:31:41,120 --> 02:31:43,400
Speaker 4: much better than so many of the quarterbacks that are

3113
02:31:43,440 --> 02:31:44,120
Speaker 4: out there right now.

3114
02:31:44,400 --> 02:31:44,680
Speaker 3: And just.

3115
02:31:46,160 --> 02:31:49,680
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not debating on on. You know that

3116
02:31:49,760 --> 02:31:51,920
Speaker 2: he's not better than a lot of quarterbacks out there.

3117
02:31:51,959 --> 02:31:55,360
Speaker 2: But again, I think you like him more than I

3118
02:31:55,480 --> 02:31:59,200
Speaker 2: do in the sense that I also seen when he's bad,

3119
02:31:59,280 --> 02:32:00,320
Speaker 2: he's terrible.

3120
02:32:00,400 --> 02:32:03,040
Speaker 5: And it's like, what's your standard? You're holding them too.

3121
02:32:03,080 --> 02:32:05,160
Speaker 6: I mean, if you're cool with him, but the Handy Dalton,

3122
02:32:05,480 --> 02:32:08,520
Speaker 6: great Anny Dalton won you ten eleven games every year,

3123
02:32:08,560 --> 02:32:09,960
Speaker 6: got you to the playoffs and got you knocked out

3124
02:32:09,959 --> 02:32:11,480
Speaker 6: in the first round for eight straight years or whatever

3125
02:32:11,520 --> 02:32:11,760
Speaker 6: it was.

3126
02:32:11,959 --> 02:32:13,560
Speaker 5: If that's if that works for you, then great.

3127
02:32:14,360 --> 02:32:17,120
Speaker 6: I feel like Cowboys and their fans and Jerry Jones,

3128
02:32:17,440 --> 02:32:19,560
Speaker 6: their standard is a little bit higher and their goals

3129
02:32:19,600 --> 02:32:20,000
Speaker 6: are higher.

3130
02:32:21,120 --> 02:32:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't disagree with any of that.

3131
02:32:23,879 --> 02:32:26,120
Speaker 4: The standards were higher for the Patriots too, and then

3132
02:32:26,120 --> 02:32:28,560
Speaker 4: they found out it's really hard to find another quarterback.

3133
02:32:28,640 --> 02:32:31,360
Speaker 4: The standards were higher for the Steelers too. Then they

3134
02:32:31,400 --> 02:32:33,720
Speaker 4: found out it's really hard to find another quarterback. The

3135
02:32:33,800 --> 02:32:36,640
Speaker 4: standard were hard, were high for the Giants in elone.

3136
02:32:36,680 --> 02:32:39,520
Speaker 4: Then they found out it's really hard to find another quarterback.

3137
02:32:39,600 --> 02:32:43,080
Speaker 4: The standards were high, and they found out it's really.

3138
02:32:43,200 --> 02:32:46,920
Speaker 3: Really like all those teams won super Bowls.

3139
02:32:47,400 --> 02:32:50,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm just saying that talking about the quarterback

3140
02:32:50,600 --> 02:32:53,000
Speaker 4: position specifically, Like yeah, we.

3141
02:32:53,600 --> 02:32:56,720
Speaker 3: All know that, Like you're right, like the quarterback positions everything.

3142
02:32:56,800 --> 02:32:58,160
Speaker 3: I we're right about that.

3143
02:32:58,760 --> 02:33:01,640
Speaker 2: But again, I don't think I don't think you can

3144
02:33:01,720 --> 02:33:05,240
Speaker 2: compare some of those quarterbacks to Dak because they won.

3145
02:33:07,320 --> 02:33:12,080
Speaker 4: Even even if Dak hasn't, Dak gives you proximity that

3146
02:33:12,280 --> 02:33:15,400
Speaker 4: like what we really pay for is proximity. Can can

3147
02:33:15,720 --> 02:33:18,280
Speaker 4: we have a chance and do we have a chance

3148
02:33:18,360 --> 02:33:20,600
Speaker 4: at the super Bowl? Every year when the season starts,

3149
02:33:20,959 --> 02:33:23,400
Speaker 4: Dak gives you that it has not worked in the playoffs.

3150
02:33:23,440 --> 02:33:25,520
Speaker 4: I'm not there's no problem.

3151
02:33:25,600 --> 02:33:26,680
Speaker 3: Here's here's the problem.

3152
02:33:27,120 --> 02:33:29,120
Speaker 2: It's not just it doesn't work in the play Like,

3153
02:33:29,480 --> 02:33:31,760
Speaker 2: you know, you go to the super Bowl, you got

3154
02:33:32,080 --> 02:33:36,080
Speaker 2: He hasn't gotten to a super Bowl, and he's he's

3155
02:33:36,160 --> 02:33:39,280
Speaker 2: been the reason why they lost. Like he was terrible

3156
02:33:39,320 --> 02:33:42,640
Speaker 2: against San Francisco. Listen, you know, Love threw the ball

3157
02:33:42,720 --> 02:33:45,120
Speaker 2: over them. So their defense was bad, but he was

3158
02:33:45,240 --> 02:33:46,760
Speaker 2: bad too, were a couple.

3159
02:33:46,600 --> 02:33:48,720
Speaker 6: Of years ago against San Francisco is a low scoring game,

3160
02:33:48,760 --> 02:33:50,000
Speaker 6: and he have mistakes towards the end.

3161
02:33:50,240 --> 02:33:54,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, look, he's been the reason they've lost.

3162
02:33:55,080 --> 02:33:58,040
Speaker 2: Whereas you know, there's all the quarterbacks. You can't say

3163
02:33:58,080 --> 02:34:01,000
Speaker 2: that like that's the problem. Like I agree, gives your

3164
02:34:01,040 --> 02:34:04,920
Speaker 2: proximity to ten wins and maybe a division.

3165
02:34:05,800 --> 02:34:08,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, if the argument is, well, all you have

3166
02:34:08,920 --> 02:34:10,520
Speaker 6: to do is make it into the tournament. He keeps

3167
02:34:10,520 --> 02:34:12,800
Speaker 6: giving you a chance every single solitary year, and every

3168
02:34:12,840 --> 02:34:14,680
Speaker 6: time you get in you have a chance to make

3169
02:34:14,720 --> 02:34:19,320
Speaker 6: her run. That's not untrue, I get it, But how

3170
02:34:19,360 --> 02:34:20,800
Speaker 6: many times are you going to suscribe to that?

3171
02:34:21,520 --> 02:34:22,959
Speaker 1: As many times as I can get.

3172
02:34:23,000 --> 02:34:25,640
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, if I'm the Cowboys twenty twenty five,

3173
02:34:25,760 --> 02:34:27,480
Speaker 4: I'm not going to have any quarterback that gives me

3174
02:34:27,560 --> 02:34:30,080
Speaker 4: a better chance to the super Bowl than Dak Press.

3175
02:34:30,680 --> 02:34:33,640
Speaker 2: Again, I consider I'm probably I'm with you in this

3176
02:34:33,720 --> 02:34:36,560
Speaker 2: sense that I think Dallas should retain it. But if

3177
02:34:36,560 --> 02:34:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm the Raiders, I don't want Dak. If I'm the Cowboys,

3178
02:34:39,680 --> 02:34:42,720
Speaker 2: I want Dak because and I want to fix the

3179
02:34:42,800 --> 02:34:45,560
Speaker 2: running back room, and I probably would want to fix.

3180
02:34:45,480 --> 02:34:46,080
Speaker 3: The coach too.

3181
02:34:46,800 --> 02:34:49,119
Speaker 4: If I'm a team that doesn't have an answer quarterback,

3182
02:34:49,120 --> 02:34:50,760
Speaker 4: I don't care. If I got to spend sixty million

3183
02:34:50,840 --> 02:34:52,640
Speaker 4: at one, I don't care. I just want to have

3184
02:34:52,680 --> 02:34:54,360
Speaker 4: a quarterback that can help me win games.

3185
02:34:54,480 --> 02:34:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. I just want to win game.

3186
02:34:56,680 --> 02:34:58,800
Speaker 3: He's got two weeots of soapo disease.

3187
02:34:58,560 --> 02:35:03,360
Speaker 1: Right now, and I was a legend on Madden Pull.

3188
02:35:03,440 --> 02:35:04,400
Speaker 1: You could not beat me with.

3189
02:35:04,720 --> 02:35:12,640
Speaker 2: It to it Fellas back in a minute, Ah, welcome back,

3190
02:35:13,879 --> 02:35:19,800
Speaker 2: Fellas from the tai iraq dot com studios. Jason fitz

3191
02:35:20,440 --> 02:35:24,920
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures. I'm Anthony Gargato being and my team my

3192
02:35:25,080 --> 02:35:30,480
Speaker 2: t Mark Producing. It's the crew every Saturday. Help you

3193
02:35:30,879 --> 02:35:35,880
Speaker 2: have a great Memorial Day weekend. Uh, boys, you know

3194
02:35:36,080 --> 02:35:38,400
Speaker 2: that we're going to have to continue the win totals

3195
02:35:38,480 --> 02:35:42,200
Speaker 2: because as suggest as I figured, we would not get

3196
02:35:42,320 --> 02:35:46,400
Speaker 2: through a lion's share of them. In fact, we haven't

3197
02:35:46,440 --> 02:35:49,880
Speaker 2: gotten through the d's yet. Since we're going to that

3198
02:35:50,320 --> 02:35:50,760
Speaker 2: back hole.

3199
02:35:52,959 --> 02:35:54,320
Speaker 1: Do what we're doing God's work here.

3200
02:35:54,320 --> 02:35:56,880
Speaker 4: It's just, you know, it's a slow and arduous process,

3201
02:35:56,920 --> 02:35:58,840
Speaker 4: but we have a long off season to get there.

3202
02:35:59,080 --> 02:36:01,400
Speaker 3: I mean, the Cowboys derailed the whole thing.

3203
02:36:02,480 --> 02:36:03,680
Speaker 5: They have a tendency to do that.

3204
02:36:08,200 --> 02:36:10,960
Speaker 2: They are they are a lot of fun, that they're interesting,

3205
02:36:11,080 --> 02:36:14,760
Speaker 2: that they're a lot of fun to talk about. I

3206
02:36:14,959 --> 02:36:17,840
Speaker 2: was talking about this the other day on my local show,

3207
02:36:17,920 --> 02:36:21,359
Speaker 2: which is you know, they are still.

3208
02:36:22,680 --> 02:36:27,800
Speaker 3: Like America's team. It's amazing, doesn't.

3209
02:36:27,480 --> 02:36:31,959
Speaker 2: Matter failure after failure, dumpster fire, you know, playoff game

3210
02:36:32,080 --> 02:36:34,520
Speaker 2: after dumpster fire, playoff game, and.

3211
02:36:34,800 --> 02:36:38,119
Speaker 3: They still get take up you know, all the oxygen

3212
02:36:38,200 --> 02:36:38,640
Speaker 3: in the room.

3213
02:36:39,680 --> 02:36:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

3214
02:36:40,000 --> 02:36:42,760
Speaker 4: And that's the funny thing is that the schedule makers

3215
02:36:42,840 --> 02:36:45,120
Speaker 4: said that the Chiefs have gotten to the level that

3216
02:36:45,200 --> 02:36:48,440
Speaker 4: they're on the same plane as the Cowboys when it

3217
02:36:48,520 --> 02:36:51,120
Speaker 4: comes to an automatic gimme of everybody wants it and

3218
02:36:51,160 --> 02:36:52,040
Speaker 4: everybody will watch it.

3219
02:36:52,320 --> 02:36:54,640
Speaker 1: Think about what that statement makes from the NFL.

3220
02:36:54,720 --> 02:36:57,160
Speaker 4: That really tells you that the team that has been

3221
02:36:57,240 --> 02:36:59,560
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl for the last five years has

3222
02:36:59,640 --> 02:37:01,720
Speaker 4: finally risen to the point of a team that hasn't

3223
02:37:01,800 --> 02:37:04,840
Speaker 4: sniffed the Super Bowl since I don't know what ninety what,

3224
02:37:05,240 --> 02:37:07,400
Speaker 4: so like, it's just crazy to think about.

3225
02:37:08,440 --> 02:37:13,640
Speaker 3: Hey, the fact that the Chiefs are in that pantheon.

3226
02:37:14,160 --> 02:37:17,520
Speaker 2: Now, you know, God bless Mahomes because he's a huge

3227
02:37:17,600 --> 02:37:19,120
Speaker 2: part of it and then you have the whole pop

3228
02:37:19,160 --> 02:37:21,560
Speaker 2: culture thing with Kelsey and Taylor Swift.

3229
02:37:22,480 --> 02:37:28,959
Speaker 3: But can we say that the Chiefs it's because of Andy.

3230
02:37:30,120 --> 02:37:31,840
Speaker 1: No, it's Mahomes. It's it's Mahomes.

3231
02:37:32,040 --> 02:37:34,720
Speaker 4: The Chiefs are like Golden State at this point, Like everybody,

3232
02:37:35,000 --> 02:37:38,040
Speaker 4: everybody loves Steph Curry. That's Patrick Mahomes, you know, And

3233
02:37:38,320 --> 02:37:39,920
Speaker 4: obviously Kerr gets some of the love.

3234
02:37:40,040 --> 02:37:40,560
Speaker 1: That's Andy.

3235
02:37:40,879 --> 02:37:42,720
Speaker 4: And it will work it as long as they're winning

3236
02:37:42,760 --> 02:37:44,280
Speaker 4: a bunch of games and they have those stars, and

3237
02:37:44,320 --> 02:37:46,960
Speaker 4: then once all of those guys retire, then they'll just

3238
02:37:47,040 --> 02:37:50,320
Speaker 4: go back to being where they were. Like it's fine

3239
02:37:50,360 --> 02:37:53,520
Speaker 4: in the popularity pantheon, but like it's not this is

3240
02:37:53,800 --> 02:37:55,160
Speaker 4: this is Mahomes phenomenon.

3241
02:37:55,320 --> 02:37:58,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like as great as Andy is, he's so understated.

3242
02:37:58,640 --> 02:38:01,600
Speaker 6: I don't know if he, you know, really penetrates into

3243
02:38:01,640 --> 02:38:03,879
Speaker 6: the consciousness of people saying like, oh my god, he's

3244
02:38:03,920 --> 02:38:04,920
Speaker 6: really made a giant impact.

3245
02:38:06,320 --> 02:38:09,360
Speaker 2: I guess I wasn't meaning, you know, he's not on

3246
02:38:09,480 --> 02:38:13,080
Speaker 2: the billboard, right Like, if the Chiefs are the billboard

3247
02:38:13,120 --> 02:38:16,560
Speaker 2: at the top of the marquee, it's not saying Andy Reid,

3248
02:38:16,720 --> 02:38:19,560
Speaker 2: it's saying Patrick Mahomes. Absolutely, I agree with you, guys.

3249
02:38:21,040 --> 02:38:26,600
Speaker 2: I guess it points to his greatness that he got

3250
02:38:26,680 --> 02:38:30,519
Speaker 2: him there, like he's the one who provided the foundation

3251
02:38:30,800 --> 02:38:35,600
Speaker 2: for that. Unlike Yeah, I mean Belichick was a bigger

3252
02:38:36,560 --> 02:38:40,360
Speaker 2: he was almost this Darth Vader character, right, and he's not.

3253
02:38:40,840 --> 02:38:43,040
Speaker 2: But Andy is every bit of effective.

3254
02:38:43,160 --> 02:38:43,320
Speaker 3: Right.

3255
02:38:44,160 --> 02:38:46,280
Speaker 4: It frustrates the hell out of me, and it has

3256
02:38:46,360 --> 02:38:49,879
Speaker 4: for years that everybody talks only about Mahomes in a vacuum.

3257
02:38:49,959 --> 02:38:52,520
Speaker 4: Sometimes it forgets this isn't just the best quarterback in

3258
02:38:52,560 --> 02:38:54,880
Speaker 4: the NFL right now. This is the best quarterback and

3259
02:38:55,000 --> 02:38:56,360
Speaker 4: clearly the best coach as.

3260
02:38:56,280 --> 02:38:58,120
Speaker 1: A combination working together.

3261
02:38:58,280 --> 02:39:00,320
Speaker 4: But I don't think Mahomes would be where he is

3262
02:39:00,800 --> 02:39:03,600
Speaker 4: if it wasn't for Kansas City, if it wasn't for

3263
02:39:03,920 --> 02:39:06,520
Speaker 4: Andy Reid, if it wasn't for the situation they put

3264
02:39:06,600 --> 02:39:08,320
Speaker 4: him in, and the way that they've tailored this, Like.

3265
02:39:08,600 --> 02:39:11,040
Speaker 1: You can have a great quarterback and still blow it.

3266
02:39:11,120 --> 02:39:12,600
Speaker 4: Look at what the Jacks are trying to do to

3267
02:39:12,640 --> 02:39:15,680
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence over the course of time. I think the

3268
02:39:15,920 --> 02:39:18,320
Speaker 4: undertold part of the story of the greatness of Patrick

3269
02:39:18,360 --> 02:39:22,120
Speaker 4: Mahomes and Kansas City is always that Andy Reid is

3270
02:39:22,280 --> 02:39:26,000
Speaker 4: absolutely him and that is that as true in this league.

3271
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:28,360
Speaker 6: Now, yeah, let's not forget that Patrick Mahomes walked into

3272
02:39:28,400 --> 02:39:30,520
Speaker 6: a team that made the playoffs the year before they

3273
02:39:30,600 --> 02:39:32,680
Speaker 6: traded up to get him there. They were going to

3274
02:39:32,760 --> 02:39:35,680
Speaker 6: the postseason routinely with Alex Smith as their quarterback, so

3275
02:39:35,760 --> 02:39:37,440
Speaker 6: this was not a full on rebuild with a top

3276
02:39:37,520 --> 02:39:38,680
Speaker 6: overall pick at quarterback.

3277
02:39:39,360 --> 02:39:42,480
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and he built that infrastructure before Pat got there.

3278
02:39:43,200 --> 02:39:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Now, you're right, you're right. Uh so, boys,

3279
02:39:49,400 --> 02:39:51,000
Speaker 2: we're up against it. But I'm going to answer you.

3280
02:39:51,040 --> 02:39:52,720
Speaker 2: What are we watching, which.

3281
02:39:52,600 --> 02:39:55,359
Speaker 5: We always do this point, watching hoops playoffs?

3282
02:39:55,800 --> 02:39:58,800
Speaker 1: You're watching boiler Stars. Oilers are like y'all.

3283
02:39:58,879 --> 02:40:00,520
Speaker 4: I know we don't talk about it, but Stanley Cup

3284
02:40:00,560 --> 02:40:02,439
Speaker 4: playoffs have been absolutely incredible.

3285
02:40:02,800 --> 02:40:04,360
Speaker 1: Oil is Stars. There is going to be an epics.

3286
02:40:04,400 --> 02:40:04,520
Speaker 3: Sit.

3287
02:40:04,680 --> 02:40:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need more hockey, and you know why, you're

3288
02:40:07,280 --> 02:40:10,640
Speaker 2: right about that. We need to talk more hockey. I'm

3289
02:40:10,680 --> 02:40:13,720
Speaker 2: not Rangers. The Panthers game last night was ridiculous.

Speaker 1: It's great. Absolutely, No, No, you're.
