00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: the holidays, if you're in sports, is what I've always said.

13
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: Because that's when the biggest games happen.

17
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 4: You work here around normal people.

18
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 5: I think they're so annoyed with Christmas being on a

19
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 5: Monday because they actually didn't get like a full two weeks,

20
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,960

00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: So I gotta tell you, Chris, I'm very excited to try.

82
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 9: I'm excited to serve this.

83
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 6: I just had to check and made sure the rest

84
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 6: of the pasta came out fine for the rest of

85
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 6: the crew.

86
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 5: But he did just run in really quickly when we

87
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 5: started the shows.

88
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 9: I don't want to burn down the studio.

89
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 6: My first time serving a Christmas meal to the radio,

90
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 6: to my radio family.

91
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: I showed up at twelve thirty. He's been cooking since then.

92
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: And if you didn't listen last week, this comes from

93
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: DeVito talking about his favorite pastasy, his favorite Italian dishes,

94
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: and Chris came out and said he has a famous

95
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: vodka sauce and we said, prove it.

96
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 3: It's not going to do.

97
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 6: I know MONSI doesn't like too much spicy, so it's

98
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 6: not as spicy as I usually make it. No, no

99
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 6: chili vodka, no Calabrian peppers.

100
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: You didn't have to do that for me. I would

101
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: I would have died for a second.

102
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 6: But no, we've got a ton of red pepper flakes

103
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 6: in the back from every time people order pizza so

104
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 6: they can heat it up however they.

105
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: Wish they you go exactly, And I always appreciate this

106
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: because I'm a gluten freak. I've been gluten free for

107
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: seventeen years. I always wholeheartedly appreciate it when someone makes

108
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: me some gluten free pasta. So thank you. I'm excited. Yes,

109
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: but you guys, it's officially Christmas weekend, so we're gonna

110
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: have some holiday themes throughout our show, starting with the

111
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: Nautiluss and the Nicelest Andana's coming to town on Monday.

112
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: So Monsei and are gonna share who we think is

113
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: on the Naughtilust and who we think is on the

114
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: Nice List.

115
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: Well, we'll start nice.

116
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: Sorry nice, We'll start nice, and we're each going to

117
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: give two each we go back and forth.

118
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: All right, sounds good.

119
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with Tua. Okay, Tua is on the

120
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: nice list.

121
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: He has not gotten the respect this season that I

122
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: believe he deserves, right, and all he's done is show

123
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: up and show out.

124
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 4: Tua leads the league in completion.

125
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: Percentage, passing yards second, and passer rating second in yards

126
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: per attempt, And even with all of these top statistical numbers,

127
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: the conversation continues to be, well, it's because of Tyreek Hill,

128
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: or it's because of their great running back most art

129
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: and he's sixth on the MVP favorites list. Conversation, And

130
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: let's just say this. Last week two and the Dolphins

131
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: beat the Jets thirty to nothing. Yep, Tyreek Hill wasn't there.

132
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 6: Lost.

133
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: The Jets have a great defense, the Dolphins ran all

134
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: over them. Tooa deserves more credit than he's getting, and

135
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: that's the reason he is on my nice list, but

136
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: also because of how he is handling the situation. And

137
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: a good example of that was his response at his

138
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: presser this week.

139
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: Let's just take a listen to it.

140
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 8: Everyone wants to make this about me, about Tyreek, Like,

141
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 8: please keep pushing it to Tyreek, make it about Tyreek.

142
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 8: I understand that my platform and who I am in

143
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 8: this league as a quarterback makes me polarizing. Whether I'm

144
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 8: the best, whether I'm the worst, Like I could care less,

145
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 8: Like I don't listen to it. This is my bearer

146
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 8: of bad news. And I hate to say that, but

147
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 8: that's my bearer of bad news. If anyone has something

148
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 8: bad to say about me, but at the end of

149
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 8: the day, like, I really don't care. But if she

150
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 8: does share it with me, I mean, I keep receipts.

151
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 8: We all have a way of how we do things.

152
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 8: But all the narratives about it, I am, yeah, sure,

153
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 8: I am only good with Tyreek And you're right, that

154
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 8: is the only time I met my best. You're right,

155
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 8: I'm only good when Jalen's in. I could care less

156
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 8: about it. Like, sure, if Jalen, then those guys are not.

157
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 8: Like I'm only as good as raereheem Moster allows me

158
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 8: to be. That's what the narrative needs to be. And

159
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 8: we're able to win games and we're able to go

160
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 8: where we want to go.

161
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 10: As a team.

162
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: I am the worst.

163
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 8: Football player, if that's what you want, Like, I don't care,

164
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 8: Like I really don't.

165
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: Like that attitude and that perspective. He is on the

166
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: nice list.

167
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 5: Sure, I mean, there's no better way to handle the situation,

168
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 5: which is actually just like brock Purty is doing it.

169
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 5: Not that they're on the same but you know they're

170
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: giving the credit to their teammates.

171
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 4: They know they can't do it alone.

172
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 5: Who are you throwing the ball to if Tyreek Kane out,

173
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 5: They're running like a cheetah.

174
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: He gets it. I understand.

175
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: I like that.

176
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 4: And you know why I like it because I think

177
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: it's genuine.

178
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: It's so genuine, right, and if it was you watch

179
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: his documentary before he got drafted, I did not.

180
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: Oh, I fell in love that when you fell through that.

181
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: I love a good behind the scenes documentary, and you

182
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: really got to know him, his culture, his family has loved,

183
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: the respect for the game, the respect for his teammates,

184
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: and he's he's a good person.

185
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I could see that. And I haven't even watched that.

186
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna look forward to it. So my first on

187
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 5: the nice list. It's a little bit twofold and it's

188
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 5: it's Russell Westbrook and the Clippers. Ever since James Harden

189
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 5: came to the Clippers, there was so much negative talk.

190
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: Even I said that even I didn't want you there,

191
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: James Harden. And then you saw some really bad games,

192
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 5: Westbrook says, he take me to the bench. All of

193
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 5: a sudden, they have they snapped their nine game winning streak.

194
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 5: But you see that they're actually having fun. You see

195
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: that they're having a good time. Westbrook sitting on the

196
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: bench is like jamm into music cheering for Kawhi doing

197
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: a euro step. Like they're in a good in a

198
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 5: good spot and they look good, you know. So it's like,

199
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 5: I'm so happy that I was wrong about James Harden coming.

200
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 5: And it's not that what James Harden was before isn't true.

201
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 5: It was not good in Philadelphia.

202
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of that is still true.

203
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 5: It's just it's working right now with the Clippers, and

204
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 5: I'm so happy to see it.

205
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: It's just it's awesome. They look good and they look

206
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 4: at and it's the holidays, and I'm just like, I'm.

207
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: God.

208
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: Actually, that was like a full considering like his attitude

209
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: when he was on the Lakers, like that full one

210
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: eighty he's made on the Clippers. Being a team player.

211
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how you win championships. Everyone has to

212
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: buy in. Everyone has to like believe that you can

213
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: do it, and you gotta have fun, right and those

214
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: bench things need to happen every single time.

215
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: Even off the bench.

216
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 5: He's productive, Like you see his impact off the bench still,

217
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 5: and that's it's just so great. Everyone is clicking. I'm listening.

218
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 5: They they they're gonna be They're gonna be a problem.

219
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 5: If they can stay healthy.

220
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: They're gonna be a problem. I'm into it. I'm into

221
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start gloating a ready.

222
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 3: I like it.

223
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: Okay, should we stay on nice or should we move like? Naughty?

224
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 10: Naughty?

225
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 4: Naughty?

226
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: All right, Aaron Rodgers, you were on my naughty list.

227
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: He was activated off the ir this week so he

228
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: could continue practicing with the team.

229
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: But we finally heard.

230
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: Robert Salla say what We always have known that Rogers

231
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: is not going to play this season. So the reason

232
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: that Rogers is on my naughty list is because he

233
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: dragged this out all season, giving the Jets like false

234
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: hope when we all knew there was no way that

235
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: he was coming back four months after tearing his achilles

236
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: on September eleventh. That would have been the fastest recover

237
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: we've ever seen, especially for a forty year old. But

238
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: he kind of handicapped the team by not letting them

239
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: go out get another quarterback.

240
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: They were holding out their hopes for Rogers.

241
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: Every other team who lost their quarterback went out and

242
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 2: picked up another quarterback.

243
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: Vikings with Dobbs, Browns with Flacco.

244
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: Jets are just kind of a hot mess, and I

245
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: think Rogers made it worse by giving them.

246
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: That false hope.

247
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 11: Yeah.

248
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 5: I mean they should have never listened to Rogers at

249
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 5: the beginning when he was like I could come back.

250
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: You should have been like, yeah, okay, Boppy, we'll talk

251
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: to you in the eight months. Let's go get another quarterback.

252
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: So I agree.

253
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: I got a quick past.

254
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: I got a quick one.

255
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 5: Naughty list Zion Williamson. And just because he's.

256
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: Naughty, you don't know what I'm talking about.

257
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: Just look it up.

258
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: He's naughty, Alex, don't If you don't know, we'll talk

259
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 4: about it off air. He's naughty, all right.

260
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: All right, let's best go some nice then let's cleanse

261
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 2: our palette here. Okay, Another nice for me on the

262
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: nice list are the Bills. They're on my nice list

263
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: because they stuck together and found the holiday spirit, especially

264
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: after a disappointing start to the season. Let's revisit what's

265
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: happened recently. Right November fourteenth, after Week ten, Bills fired

266
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, and at that point there

267
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: were five and five had lost four of their last

268
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: six games, and their playoff hopes looked slim. But since

269
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: firing Ken Dorsey, there are three and one. Their last

270
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: two wins were over the Chiefs and the Cowboys, big wins.

271
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: Josh Allen put this team on his back, and they're

272
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: back in the mix to fight for a playoff spot.

273
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: They're eight and six ninth in the AFC, with the

274
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: same eight and six di record as Bengals, Colts, and

275
00:10:59,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: Texans who.

276
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: Were above them.

277
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: But the doors open for the Bills and the remaining schedule.

278
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: They obviously they play the Chargers tonight, they should win that.

279
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: Then next is versus Patriots. Should win that, and then

280
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: at Dolphins. That's gonna be a showdown and that could

281
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: determine kind of like what happens.

282
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: But they made it.

283
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: They've made it interesting.

284
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: They have one.

285
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: Yes, thank you Bills.

286
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 5: You know who else has made it really interesting and

287
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 5: they're on my nice list. All the backup quarterbacks this season,

288
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 5: because oh my goodness, we've had one hundred and seven

289
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 5: different quarterbacks starting this year, but yet we have had

290
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: such exciting whether it's one game from Drew Lock this

291
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 5: past week, to you know, Joshua Dobbs for two games

292
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 5: to Jake Browning, Tommy Davito, like the amount of backup

293
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 5: quarterbacks that have actually given us fun games when you're.

294
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: Like, why would I watch this game?

295
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 5: Thank you so much, thank you for delivering yeah when

296
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 5: we didn't expect it, giving us some excitement in when

297
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: we didn't expect it.

298
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: Way to go backup quarterbacks in the NFL. We appreciate you.

299
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: I love that, and I love when people get an

300
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: opportunity right because it's not often again, like backup quarterbacks,

301
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: you are sitting majority of the season. You're you're like practicing,

302
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: like that's when you kind of get your reps. So

303
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: to see so many different guys take advantage of a

304
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: rare opportunity that they're getting, yes, is pretty cool.

305
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and life changing for most of them.

306
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 5: And it's not just like Jake Browning it was like, okay,

307
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 5: you know, Joe Burrog got hurt for the whole season.

308
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: But Julock, it's.

309
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: Like, you win it for one game because you know

310
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 5: Smith is hert and you went out there and you're like, I'm.

311
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: Still the man.

312
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 5: Like so just so amazing to see this, right when

313
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 5: you thought the season could even be boring, here we

314
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 5: are in a pretty exciting season that we don't know

315
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 5: how it's going to go. Yeah, you know, so you

316
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 5: guys go backup quarterbacks, way to go back to qubs.

317
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're in.

318
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: Then on the naughty list. Okay, one more, eas one more.

319
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: One more, Bill Belichick, this has to be the most

320
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: disappointing season of your coaching career.

321
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: Currently three and eleven.

322
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: His worst coaching record of his career is five and

323
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: eleven when in two thousand with the Patriots and ninety

324
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 2: five is last season with the Rounds. No one's denying

325
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: that he's one of the greatest coaches of our generation,

326
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: possibly one of the greatest ever.

327
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, you're welcome.

328
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: But nothing is working for the Bills and the Patriots

329
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: this season. Every report that's been coming out that there's

330
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: been so much frustration within the team. Robert Kraft is

331
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: ready to move on. And he's always been known as

332
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: like a difficult coach to play for, no days off mentality.

333
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: But when you're winning and you have a guy like

334
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, that works. But when you're a team that's

335
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: losing and no one's buying in, you have to adapt.

336
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: And the greatest coaches adapt, and it's been very clear

337
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: that Bill is not adapting or even willing to change

338
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: his ways. He's still one of the best defensive coaches.

339
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: His defense is the only thing keeping this team afloat.

340
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: But he's not adapting. He's not adapting on offense, He's

341
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: not giving people the opportunity, like reports that he wouldn't

342
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: let his new offensive coordinator, Bill Brian run the offense

343
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: that he wanted to. So why did you even bring

344
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: this guy in if you're not gonna let him do

345
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: what he's good at.

346
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 5: So it's just so you're giving you're giving Bill Belichick

347
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 5: a lumpo cool.

348
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's on my nattylists, naughtylists.

349
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 5: All right, stop, all right, we are, what twenty twenty seven,

350
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 5: twenty eight games into the NBA season, So on my

351
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 5: nautilust are all of those NBA referees that have ejected

352

355
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 5: been ejected in the second quarter.

00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: Star players, star players? Is that or the reason you're

357
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: selling tickets and fill in the seaton.

358
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 5: But the fact that it's such as one player, I'm

359
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 5: mentioning that it's like constantly happening because somebody said a

360
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: bad word to you.

361
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,120

00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 4: Okay, just me by myself, I'll say them all.

00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: season games left in the NFL season. Crazy right, Okay,

409
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: So are you hitting the panic button on any of

410
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: these three teams?

411
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: Okay?

412
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: They're all ten and four teams, Eagles, Dolphins, Cowboys. We're

413
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: going to go through each of them, starting with the Eagles.

414
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 4: All right.

415
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: I think everyone knows my stance if you've been listening

416
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: to our show the last seventeen weeks, I am not

417
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: hitting the panic button.

418
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: Call me crazy, but here's why.

419
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: They are still a great team that has great pieces

420
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: in place, starting with their quarterback Jalen Hurts.

421
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 3: He is a great leader of this team.

422
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: And earlier this week he kind of clarified his postgame

423
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: comments that he said, I don't think we're all committed,

424
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: and Thursday this is what he said.

425
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 14: My mom was in a place of, you know, really

426
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 14: just trying to challenge myself, you know, and when you

427
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 14: think about holistically, about on the things you want to

428
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 14: accomplish and and everything that we're trying to do, that

429
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 14: all range through me. That all starts with me. And

430
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 14: so when I say we, I mean me because I'm

431
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 14: the point guard out there. I'm the one that makes

432
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 14: everything go. I'm the guy that everyone trusted to do

433
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 14: and set the pace, uh for everything that's in how

434
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 14: I play, that's in my leadership, that's in every aspect

435
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 14: of the game, and that comes with the shoes that

436
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 14: I walk in. And so this is a challenge to

437
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 14: myself and you challenge yourself and you challenge the people

438
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 14: around you.

439
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 4: Can I put Jalen Hurts on the nice list? Yep?

440
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 2: See, it's taking responsibility. I I'm a I'm a big

441
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: fan of Jalen Hurts. You can tell the team respects him.

442
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: You can tell it even if they're going through a

443
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: tough time. That's a leader everyone's going to rally behind.

444
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 2: And then again, the Eagles have a fairly easy remaining schedule.

445
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: Today Verse Giants, yep, should win, Versus Cardinals should win.

446
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 4: At Giants should win. So they should.

447
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: They're in the playoffs, all righty, that's happening, right, But

448
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: they're behind the Cowboys right now in the NFC East.

449
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: They should win these last three games, and honestly, probably

450
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: a good time to have this losing streak happen because

451
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: now they can build their confidence back up these last

452
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: three games before the playoffs.

453
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I feel the same way that I

454
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 5: have felt all season about the Eagles. The Eagles are not,

455
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 5: to me, the best team, but they're a top five

456
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 5: to six team in the NFL.

457
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 4: They've been the whole season.

458
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 5: I just don't think that they have been as dominant

459
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 5: as they were last year. But am I panicking if

460
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: I'm an Eagles fan, No, what's gonna happen. I don't

461
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 5: think if they if they don't win the division, I

462
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 5: don't see that happening. But like, let's say, what who

463
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: they're gonna face NFC South, That they're going to lose

464
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: to the NFC South first, No, they're not, they're not.

465
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 5: They have an easy last three games, like you mentioned,

466
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 5: that they should win. I'm not panicking. They are who

467
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 5: they have been in my opinion all season, a top

468
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 5: five to six team, and they could put it together

469
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: kind of like you just said, when it matters the most,

470
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 5: which is right now.

471
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 4: So I'm not panicking.

472
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 5: I don't see them not coming out of the first

473
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 5: round if I'm being honest.

474
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: Okay, you know, yeah, Dolphins, Dolphins. I'm a little panicky

475
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: for the Dolphins. They have a tough remaining schedule starting

476
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve. Versus the Cowboys, than at Ravens, than verse Bills.

477
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: Now, I'm a big fan of the Dolphins.

478
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 2: All these games could really go either way, you know,

479
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: I especially if the Bills keep up this hot streak,

480
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: right and that's their last game of the season.

481
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's hard.

482
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, we heard McDaniel say that he feels good

483
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 2: about Tyreek Hill playing, but he's been listed as sable

484
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 2: all week, so you know he's not going to be

485
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: one hundred percent and you need him one hundred percent

486
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: of these last three games.

487
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm with you. I let's just put the

488
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 5: panic button near.

489
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Like I'm not hating it, but I might.

490
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: It's it, right, could go either way.

491
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: And it's not just Tyreek.

492
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 5: They're all a little bit banged up, right, Like I

493
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 5: Tyreek is the one most important because when he's not

494
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 5: out there, it is a very different offense. We saw

495
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 5: it happening. Devon a Chan has not been one hundred

496
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 5: percent since he hit the ir and he's back. They're

497
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 5: they're O line banged up. The tackle Austin Jackson O league.

498
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 5: So here's here's where I'm wondering where the Dolphins approach this.

499
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: Do you approach cautiously and wait for the.

500
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 5: Playoffs, so maybe don't play some of these players like Tyreek,

501
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 5: like Austin Jackson, Tan Taran Armstead has been up and

502
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 5: down all season. So like, I don't know how you

503
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 5: approach it the safe way, try to keep them healthy

504
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 5: for the long run, but you have a hard three

505
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 5: last games. Yeah, it's just like, I don't know. I

506
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: don't know which approach the Dolphins take. Yeah, and that's

507
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 5: why I'm putting the panic button near me.

508
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm not hitting it yet.

509
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: Okay, real quick, last one Cowboys, Cowboys they need I

510
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: will have the panic button close if they don't win

511
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: the NFC East. Okay, and they have the remaining schedule

512
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 2: at Dolphins versus Lions, at Commanders. I see them winning

513
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: at least one of their three last games.

514
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 3: But we know Cowboys are not good on the road.

515
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: Three and four, all four of the losses have come

516
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: on the road, and their playoff record the last twenty

517
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 2: three years four wins. They need to get every advantage

518
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: in the playoffs they can get, and for the Cowboys

519
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: that's home games.

520
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: So here's the that's home games.

521
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 4: Are we are we panicking because the Cowboys lost to

522
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: the Bills.

523
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 15: I'm not.

524
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: We've seen them lose all the time to teams like that.

525
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 2: I'm panicking if they don't get home field advantage really

526
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, because they're not a good road team.

527
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 4: All right, I can see that.

528
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 5: I actually think that they should win their The hardest

529
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 5: game to me, I know you're mentioning the road, but

530
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 5: you know it's the end of the season.

531
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 4: People are going to put but you.

532
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: Have three easy final games. They could bump up and

533
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: they could win the nfcast.

534
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 4: The hardest game for the Cowboys to me is a

535
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 4: Dolphins game. They should.

536
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 5: They should beat the Lions because the Lions have also

537
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: been up and down at the end of the season here, right,

538
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 5: and they should beat the Commanders on the road.

539
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: They should, They should, they should. I'm saying, yeah again,

540
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 2: keep it close.

541
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 5: I'm not keeping it as close as I'm keeping it

542
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: to if.

543
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 3: I'm keeping it real close. If they don't win the.

544
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 4: NFC, Cowboys are who they are right now.

545
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: In the playoffs.

546
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: All right.

547
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,359

Speaker 7: Chiefs will be without wide receiver Kadarius Tony and running

605
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: of her many jobs is the host for the La Rams.

606
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 2: Let's welcome Cameron Irwin.

607
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 10: W Hello. Hello, that is quite the interest things so much, guys,

608
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 10: thrilled to be joining you.

609
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for joining now, okay, Cam, the Rams have

610
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: been one of the biggest surprises this season. You've been

611
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 2: down there on the field on the sidelines. What's been

612
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 2: the key to their success at the most important time

613
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: of year right now?

614
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 10: Well, I really think it's quite a combination of a

615
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 10: few things. Considering the fact that this is the Rams

616
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 10: rookie class that is the largest in the past thirty years.

617
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 10: They have had more snaps than any other rookie class

618
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 10: this year in the NFL, So that's one of the

619
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 10: biggest elements, not to mention you still have your load

620
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 10: bearing walls from Stafford to cup to Donald. But then

621
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 10: there were also some veteran key pieces that we picked

622
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 10: up in free agency that have really been a big

623
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 10: difference maker, from Akella Witherspoon, DeMarcus Robinson, Kevin Dodson, John

624
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 10: Johnson making his return to LA So it's kind of

625
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 10: been a combination of a few different factors. And of

626
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 10: course when you look at that rookie class, like Poka

627
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 10: Nukua has just been lights out from the beginning of

628
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 10: the season. It has just been so fun to watch

629
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 10: this team continue to develop as well as fight off

630
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 10: a bit of attrition throughout the season.

631
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 4: So with that mentioned the success happening right now.

632
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 5: At the start of the season, it was a little

633
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 5: rough for the Rams, and I even think some people,

634
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: you know, wrote them off, thinking, oh, they're going to

635
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 5: tank because they're trying to get Caleb Williams. Obviously not

636
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 5: the situation, but realistically, what would be a successful season

637
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 5: at this point, just making the playoffs, getting past the

638
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 5: first round?

639
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: What would be successful? What would be like today? We

640
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 4: did it this season.

641
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 10: You know, It's it's always so interesting because from a

642
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 10: media standpoint, I'm saying, if this team makes the playoffs,

643
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 10: that is an outstanding year considering what they were going

644
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 10: in with, considering the rookie class. Right, we had over

645
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 10: forty new names at training camp when you think all

646
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 10: the way back to the beginning of the season. However,

647
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 10: if you're asking in the guys in the locker room,

648
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 10: what are the goals, It's not just to be making

649
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 10: the playoffs. These guys definitely are looking to pick up wins,

650
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 10: and there's potential in the playoffs. I mean, we could

651
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 10: have quite a showdown. I'm hoping there could be a

652
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 10: trip off to Detroit because I can only just imagine

653
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 10: a Stafford versus goth just the oh so perfect that

654
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 10: what football dreams are made of, is it not?

655
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

656
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Okay, now you've mentioned the young stars. Kugnakua

657
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: has been the breakout star in LA. How has he

658
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: becomes such an important piece of his offense so quickly?

659
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 10: You know, it's not just about his skill set, because

660
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 10: when you watch him, you're looking at one. He has

661
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 10: incredible hands. I always think back to the catch he

662
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 10: had versus the Colts where he actually tipped up a ball,

663
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 10: cased it downfield about another two to three yards and

664
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 10: then nabbed it for a couple more. He's got great hands,

665
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 10: he's got the physicality. I always think it's like he's

666
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 10: got sonar for the end zone because every time he

667
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 10: grabs a ball, it's like he turns and somehow manages

668
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 10: like an extra three to five yards. But I really

669
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 10: think it comes down to his personality, right, And I

670
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 10: sat down with him back at training camp, and he

671
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 10: was just so entertaining, so excitable, so thrilled to be there,

672
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 10: and he was like a sponge. He was absorbing everything

673
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 10: he talked about, you know, his relationship with Cooper Cupp,

674
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 10: who was kind of in and out at training camp

675
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 10: due to some injury, and he was just saying how

676
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 10: much he was learning and gaining from, you know, the

677
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 10: mentor and mentee relationship between those two. And it's just

678
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 10: been so fun to watch it come full circle throughout

679
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 10: the season. Having caught back out there on the field.

680
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 10: You know, I remember we had conversations like, well, what

681
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 10: will look like We've got Pooka Nakua, you know, going

682
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 10: for one hundred yards a game, and when Cooper Cup

683
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 10: gets back out there, like how is this going to look?

684
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 10: And man, it is just right now we are jam

685
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 10: packed with receivers that are just so dangerous from tow

686
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 10: to out well Pooka and Akua. You know, you've got

687
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 10: them all firing on all cylinders. And Marcus Robinson is

688
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 10: also just unimaginable at this point of the season. So again,

689
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 10: such a fun brand of football between all of them.

690
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 5: With pookun Akua, were you there or did you see

691
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 5: when somebody told him that Lebron James tweeted about him?

692
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: Because it really upset me that Lebron did not tag.

693
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 5: Him, that he just put Pooka and so were you

694
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 5: did you hear about that?

695
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 4: Like how who told him?

696
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: He didn't know?

697
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 4: Social media didn't tell him?

698
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,239
Speaker 10: Uh, you know, it's so funny. I imagine. There's been

699
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 10: so many moments for Puka like that throughout this season

700
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 10: where all of a sudden, his name's getting popped up

701
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 10: at different moments. And actually the perfect example was with

702
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 10: Showtime show Hey Anani this past week, right like being

703
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 10: on the board that you know, on the Infinity screen

704
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 10: that show is wearing his jersey and it was just

705
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 10: and we actually have a shot of like Puka on

706
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 10: the sideline seeing show a wearing the jersey, and both

707
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 10: of them were just like electrics. So I think there's

708
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 10: been many just like revealing moments for Puka Nakua, and

709
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 10: he has just stayed so humble, so joyful and just

710
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 10: like one of the greatest personalities in the sport right now.

711
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 3: I love that. Now.

712
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: That was a fun Thursday night game. Obviously with the

713
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: newest star in LA on the sideline show Hey Tani,

714
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: what was a fan reaction with him in Ram's house.

715
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 10: It's hilarious because when we played the Commanders on Sunday,

716
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 10: they were kind of like some murmuring, some rumblings like

717
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 10: will show hey show up? Will he be here?

718
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

719
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 10: And everyone is kind of like standing to see. And

720
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 10: then with Thursday night coming just around the corner, it

721
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 10: was incredible to see how many people we're just walking

722
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 10: around even like field level before the game show Hey

723
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 10: showing up, they were a little murmurings. Everyone is so

724
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 10: excited in.

725
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 15: LA and rightly so right like they are thrilled that he.

726
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 10: Is staying in the city of Los Angeles. But there's

727
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 10: no doubt like anybody from you know, security guards chatting

728
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 10: to cameraman, chatting to you know, our entire host and

729
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 10: cruse that like there were so many people that are

730
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 10: just so ecstatic to have him there on the sidelines.

731
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 10: It seemed like everyone was trying to clamor to get.

732
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: A photo with him.

733
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 10: They're so doubt in one of the corners of the

734
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 10: end zone.

735
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 5: So I know two games left, Giants then forty nine Ers,

736
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 5: and I know that it's take the first game first,

737
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 5: then the next game. But the Rams have to be

738
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 5: already thinking of their game plan against the forty nine ers.

739
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 4: What was what is the game plan?

740
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know it's going to be interesting too because

741
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 10: of obviously where the forty nine ers sit. Are they

742
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 10: going to be playing their their full squad? That's the question.

743
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 10: Are they going to be resting up? And I don't

744
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 10: think we'll really have that concept until we get into

745
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 10: that game. You know, I think for this team right now,

746
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 10: as much as you want to look to the forty

747
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 10: nine Ers, their main goal and their main objective is

748
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 10: the Giants come New Year's Eve, which is an even

749
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 10: bigger task considering that you're playing in New York New

750
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 10: Year's Eve. It's getting a little dangerous, right And what

751
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 10: we've realized too, it happened versus the Commanders like, people

752
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 10: are playing for their lives right now, right and so

753
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 10: when teams are playing with nothing to lose.

754
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 15: That is a very, very scary.

755
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 10: Thing to have to face. And the Commanders had a

756
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 10: really nice late push versus us on Sunday night where

757
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 10: we got into a little bit of some hot water,

758
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 10: some tough territory. And right now, I'm a little more

759
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 10: concerned about the Giants, And I think when you speak

760
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 10: to the rest of the team, as much as you've

761
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 10: got the forty nine ers in your sights, the giants

762
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 10: is their number one task.

763
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: Okay, now stay with me here because this is a

764
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: bit of a long setup. But Matthew Stafford, fifteen year vet,

765
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: still at the top of his game because in twenty twelve,

766
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: Calvin Johnson said the NFL single season record and receiving yards,

767
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: Stafford was his quarterback. In twenty twenty one, Cooper Cup

768
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: had the second most received yards in a single season

769
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: hein Calvin Johnson, Stafford was his quarterback. Now, Pukainakua needs

770
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: only one hundred and forty seven yards in his final

771
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: two games to set the record for most receiving yards

772
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: by a rookie in NFL history. Do you think Matthew

773
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: Stafford is getting the respect that he deserves?

774
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 10: Alex. It's funny because I think this is a question

775
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 10: that is asked more often than not, and I think

776
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 10: as it continues to be asked, I think the answer

777
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 10: is always going to continue to be well, of course not.

778
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 10: We always have to give Matthew Stafford the love he deserves.

779
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 10: We're not just talking about a fifteen year NFL that.

780
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 10: We're talking about a guy that came to Los Angeles

781
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 10: in his first season in LA walked away with a championship.

782
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 10: To imagine how he put that twenty one season together

783
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 10: not having practice with his players for multiple seasons. I mean,

784
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 10: the twenty one season alone was remarkable, but now to

785
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 10: see him even in this year and how he's been

786
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 10: able to bring his receivers together, how he's married the

787
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 10: run game as well as.

788
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 15: The past game.

789
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 10: I mean we haven't even mentioned Kyron Williams, who is

790
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 10: a top what three NFL running back at this exact moment.

791
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 10: I mean, this offense has shit changed and shaped even

792
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 10: from that twenty one season, and Matthew Stafford is a

793
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 10: huge reason why. I also think, you know, Thursday night,

794
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 10: there were a couple throws. This might be the best

795
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 10: version of Matthew Stafford's that we have ever seen in

796
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 10: this season. Some of the throws at sand Out. I

797
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 10: mean there was one bomb to Cooper Cup where he

798
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 10: didn't even have time to set its feet. He didn't

799
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 10: even have enough room to finish his throat. It was

800
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 10: all just risk and I think it was about a

801
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 10: once he plus yard game. Not to mention kind of

802
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 10: there were two balls he peeled out to the left

803
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 10: outside the pocket to find DeMarcus Robinson where he's creating

804
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 10: opportunities with his athletic receivers that I have never seen

805
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 10: him do before. I mean, this is some unreal play

806
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 10: from Matthew Stafford that is just next level. So that

807
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 10: man always deserves more love than he has given, there

808
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 10: is no doubt about that.

809
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: I love that so much.

810
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,239

Speaker 3: Little bit.

986
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 9: Close to the mic. This isn't a visual medium thing.

987
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 2: Okay, So I love so throughout my career, I have

1007
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 3: I was like, but it has to do with the show.

1008
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 3: And it's beautiful.

1009
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 15: It really is.

1010
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 14: It really is.

1011
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: Okay, it's really cute.

1012
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 4: All right, I'm glitter everywhere. I don't even care.

1013
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: Happy Christmasty Christmas, everybody.

1014
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get to our next topic.

1015
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, guys, we have three more games to determine

1016
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: our NFL MVP.

1017
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 3: Are you okay, I am good.

1018
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 4: No, I'll get a tissue on our next break.

1019
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 3: Okay, We're good, all right, go for it.

1020
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 2: And this weekend it's huge between the top two favorites,

1021
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: right Ravens at forty nine ers, boat teams eleven and three.

1022
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna run through real quick. The MVP favorite.

1023
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: The odds according to FanDuel brock Party minus two hundred

1024
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson plus five hundred, Josh Allen plus eight hundred,

1025
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 2: Dack plus nine hundred mccafrey plus twelve hundred to a

1026
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 2: plus two thousand. If brock Party and the forty nine

1027
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: Ers win this game, I think you have to give

1028
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: him the MVP.

1029
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 3: Two to brock Purty. You think brock Party, brock Party

1030
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 3: if the forty nine ers win this game.

1031
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 2: We've done many of segments on this, the disrespect that

1032
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: brock Purty gets.

1033
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 10: Right.

1034
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, he is on the best team, the most complete

1035
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 2: team in the NFL. He leads the league and passer

1036
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 2: rating passing touchdowns second and completion percentage second in passing yards.

1037
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 4: But I feel like his image.

1038
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 2: From the beginning has been a little tainted because he

1039
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: was quote mister irrelevant the last pick in the draft,

1040
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 2: and his whole NFL career has been all about the coaching,

1041
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 2: the weapons he plays with. No one has focused on

1042
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 2: his talent, and he doesn't make very many mistakes.

1043
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen.

1044
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 5: So I think he has been the most consistent quarterback

1045
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 5: this year. And I agree with what you're saying. I

1046
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 5: don't think he has been judged fairly since the beginning

1047
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 5: because he was mister Irrelevant and was put in a

1048
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 5: position that no one expected him to be put in.

1049
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 5: Like it's just it's not fair, but it is the situation.

1050
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 5: He has handled it just like Tua, you know, very humbly.

1051
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 5: And I agree with everything you're saying. But in my opinion,

1052
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 5: I don't see how you don't give the MVP to

1053
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 5: Christian McCaffrey. And if it's not Christian McCaffrey, it's Tyreek Hill.

1054
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 5: I don't see how they have been the most consistent players.

1055
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 2: It's been eleven years that a non quarterback has won MVP,

1056
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: Adrian Peterson back in twenty twelve. But yeah, McCaffrey is

1057
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 2: on pace for his best statistical season of his career.

1058
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 3: He's having an insane season and confer for the position

1059
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 3: not just one game, two games.

1060
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 4: It's consistent.

1061
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 5: It's the same with Tyreek, like the whole where it

1062
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 5: hasn't happened. And it's not just you're saying, I know

1063
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 5: that's what everybody's saying. That's a stupid reason to not

1064
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 5: really look in front of what you have. And brock

1065
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 5: Party would be third for me, to be honest with you, Okay,

1066
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 5: I would go Kittle.

1067
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 4: I would Kittle. I would go Christian McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill,

1068
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 4: Brock Party. Those would be the order of my MVPs

1069
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 4: this season.

1070
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 3: Okay, So no quarterback as your third. I mean this up.

1071
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: So when we're looking at the odds second favorite, Lamar Jackson, right,

1072
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 2: an extremely dynamic quarterback, but he's not in the top

1073
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 2: five of any of the major quarterback stats. The only

1074
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: thing Lamar leads in for quarterbacks this season is rushing yards, right,

1075
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: it's and he's a great player, but when you're talking

1076
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: about the MVP of the league, I don't think he

1077
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 2: has the numbers this season to back it totally.

1078
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 5: And you know, I will give him credit though, like

1079
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 5: he has improved his passing, which has always been a

1080
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 5: question mark.

1081
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 4: You know, ken is he just a running this year,

1082
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 4: he has proven.

1083
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 5: That he can adapt and throw the ball in the

1084
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 5: pocket and that he can also rush which is great,

1085
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 5: and run the ball.

1086
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 9: I love that.

1087
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 4: But the big thing with the Ravens is their defense

1088
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 4: is so huge too in their success. You know what

1089
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 4: I mean? He doesn't stand out.

1090
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 3: Nah, he stands out, but at the rate it's.

1091
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 4: He doesn't stand out. You just said he's not in

1092
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 4: the top.

1093
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 3: He's not, but he is like also like a big

1094
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 3: piece of the huge success.

1095
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you say their success is more team like I

1096
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 5: would say the forty nine ers success is a lot

1097
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 5: of it goes on Christian McCaffrey and a lot of

1098
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 5: it goes on Brockpurt.

1099
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 3: Which is team. Which is but and they have like

1100
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 3: a solid defense and they have That's why they're the most.

1101
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 4: Complete team in the They are the most complete team.

1102
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: Best team in the NFL in that sense.

1103
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think maybe it's just is it.

1104
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 5: That Lamar Jackson this year hasn't been flashy when before

1105
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 5: it was he was a bit more flashy with his

1106
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 5: res doesn't He doesn't.

1107
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: He doesn't need to be.

1108
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 4: That's give credit for what he do.

1109
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: That's why that's why this this came this weekend Christmas.

1110
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: Is it the Christmas game? Uh, Raven's forty nine ers.

1111
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gonna be.

1112
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 3: That's gonna be.

1113
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna be great. So okay, then we have Josh.

1114
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 2: Allen has the third best odds. Okay, Now, I feel

1115
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 2: like he's benefiting a lot after the way this Bill's

1116
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 2: team kind of turned the season around the last four games.

1117
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: And again, an incredible talent. However, you have to look

1118
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 2: at the season as a whole. Yeah, right, and he

1119
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 2: hasn't had that same season or numbers that say a

1120
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 2: Brock party has had it. We're talking about quarterbacks, because

1121
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 2: Allen is ninth in passing yards, tied for third and

1122
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 2: passing touchdown eleventh and passerating twenty ninth in interceptions.

1123
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 3: I yeah, I don't. I don't think you can.

1124
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 4: Give it to Josh. Give it to Josh, even though

1125
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 4: Josh is one hundred percent the Bill's MVP. Yeah, he's

1126
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 4: the Bills.

1127
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 3: He is the Billing, is the Bill's MVP.

1128
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 5: Correct needing him more than ever, you know what I mean,

1129
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 5: Like they can't go on without him.

1130
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it's just but you're right.

1131
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 9: I'm with you.

1132
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

1133
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 5: And I think the reason he is here now is

1134
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 5: because of their recent couple of weeks. But you say yourself,

1135
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 5: it didn't start that way. It didn't look pretty, It

1136
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 5: didn't look pretty.

1137
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: No.

1138
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: I think this weekend's game Ravens at forty nine ers,

1139
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: both teams eleven and three will if the forty nine

1140
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: ers pull this off, penning the kind of game that

1141
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 2: brock Purty has. I think this could and should push

1142
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: him as like a front runner.

1143
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 4: And so do you think if the Ravens win, it

1144
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 4: pushes Lamar?

1145
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 8: No?

1146
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 2: No, no, because he still doesn't lead. Okay, My biggest

1147
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: thing is like when you look at top five in

1148
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: any of the major like he just I think he's

1149
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: great for the team. And this is where it also

1150
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 2: comes in. What how do you determine like most valuable player?

1151
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: Is it most valuable player because of all the stats

1152
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 2: that they put up, or is it most valuable to

1153
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: their team?

1154
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 3: Is it most valuable to the lead. There are so

1155
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 3: many different.

1156
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 2: It's not black and white, it's not there's so many

1157
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: different ways you can kind of go about it and

1158
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 2: talk about it and spin it.

1159
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 3: And this was even the conversation I'm gonna go out

1160
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: of the league.

1161
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 2: But like when Mike Trout and I both won two

1162
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: MVPs with a team that wasn't even making it to

1163
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 2: the playoffs in baseball.

1164
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 3: So it's.

1165
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 2: What is the most valuable player to you? How do

1166
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 2: you describe value?

1167
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 4: So you know, I think I would change my answer

1168
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 4: honestly every year depending on what I see. But I

1169
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 4: think the eye test is a big one.

1170
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's I think why show Hey and mister

1171
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 5: Trout both one Troutrout means then I think.

1172
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 4: The eye test is a big one.

1173
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 5: And that's why to me, Christian McCaffrey, I don't get it,

1174
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 5: Tyreek Hill, the eye tests like you can't deny it.

1175
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 4: You can't deny that they stand out by far in

1176
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:53,240
Speaker 4: their position.

1177
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean by far four or five. McCaffrey is like

1178
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 3: fifth in the MVP. Favorite.

1179
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I know he's block thirty is the top as

1180
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 2: I believe he should be, No, as I believe he

1181
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: should He's having a great season.

1182
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 4: There's I just to meet Christian McCaffrey.

1183
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 2: I've been saying this for a while, rating leasily capting

1184
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 2: touchdown second and completion present his second in passing yard's like.

1185
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 4: Christian mccahm the best team in the league.

1186
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, he but I've been saying I've been saying this,

1187
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like, I've said this a

1188
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago. So it's like, I don't want

1189
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 5: to change from my now even though I think Brock thirty.

1190
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 4: But I have no reason to.

1191
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 5: Because Christian m mccaffee just had three touchdowns last week.

1192
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,439
Speaker 3: We'll revisit this after the game next time.

1193
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it'll be good.

1194
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 2: It'll get your thoughts there. We're going to take a

1207
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 4: Fourteen zero, still plenty of game. It's the start of

1208
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 4: the start of the second quarter.

1209
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,600

Speaker 12: Christmas Day, five games all day while we really go.

1224
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 2: I just started accepting Christmas music into my life two

1225
00:52:59,640 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 2: days ago.

1226
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 3: I was waiting. I was waiting for it.

1227
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 4: She's been living. I died it since since Thanksgiving.

1228
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,479
Speaker 3: No, I have not on the world from the world.

1229
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's been haunting my dream since November first.

1230
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: But I personally chose to put it on two days ago.

1231
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm I'm welcoming in this. I'm excited. But Mark,

1232
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 2: let's start in La. The Lakers have not been playing

1233
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 2: well since winning the season tournament. They're one in five.

1234
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 2: What's been the biggest issue for the Lakers.

1235
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's been wild. I'd like to say it's the

1236
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 12: n season tournament hangover and they're just you know, after

1237
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 12: being on cloud nine from that huge accomplishment, you know,

1238
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 12: there's nothing that motivates them. But the reality is, it's

1239
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 12: more about the fact that they've been on the road

1240
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 12: a lot, compressed schedule, They've had some guys in and

1241
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 12: now the lineup with different injuries. So it's been this

1242
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 12: collective storm that has come at the wrong moment. Now,

1243
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 12: I suspect that might change a little bit as far

1244
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 12: as their energy level for Christmas Day against the Celtic.

1245
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 12: But the problem is, and I'm sorry Monsey, but as

1246
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 12: we're in the middle of this, the Celics are showing

1247
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,479
Speaker 12: the Clippers while why they're wonder beast teams in the NBA,

1248
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 12: and the same thing might happen Christmas against the Lakers.

1249
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 5: Well, since you bring it up, Boston and Clippers let's

1250
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 5: chat about the Clippers for a hot second, because I

1251
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 5: know they're getting their butts kicked right now.

1252
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 10: I know.

1253
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 5: I know they did have nine in a row though,

1254
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 5: and they did lose to a good Oklahoma City Thunder.

1255
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 3: But the Clippers look good, Mark, They.

1256
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 5: Look like they are having a good time, which is

1257
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 5: something as a fan that I haven't seen in a while.

1258
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1259
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 12: I mean, look, I was trying to preach patience to you.

1260
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 15: You are, you are buying it right. I wasn't look

1261
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 15: I fair enough to you, Monse.

1262
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 12: I still have questions about what it means big picture,

1263
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 12: but you got to celebrate the wins when they can.

1264
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 12: And it is a good sign that, you know, with

1265
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 12: James Harden being the primary ballmaker, there's a lot more

1266
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 12: bald movement, Russell Westbrooks accepting Sventral and I think a

1267
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 12: bigger thing is Kawhi Leonard. This is what he looks like,

1268
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 12: with exception in the past two games which he's missed

1269
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 12: with injuries, but other than that, he's been healthy. You

1270
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 12: will let me read these November December splits for you.

1271
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 12: November twenty two and a half points a game, forty

1272
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 12: eight percent for the field, thirty six percent from three

1273
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 12: December twenty nine points a game, sixty one percent from

1274
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 12: the field, fifty percent from three. It's video game type numbers,

1275
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 12: and he's taking the same amount of shots. So I

1276
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 12: think that's the product of they're finally getting the ball

1277
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 12: in his hands off of good passes as opposed to

1278
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 12: him going to one on one and everyone else. They're

1279
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 12: playing better as a team. But you know, as of now,

1280
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 12: as we're speaking, struggle against Boston. But I think it

1281
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 12: has more to do with Kawhi being out and the

1282
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 12: Celtics being really good than this is a sign that

1283
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 12: the Clippers recent winning streak isn't for real. I think

1284
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 12: it is for real, and assuming they can stay healthy,

1285
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 12: I know that's a big if, but they show that

1286
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 12: if at least from Mex's nose and personality standpoints, they

1287
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 12: can make this fit work.

1288
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard when he's on the floor, he looks like

1289
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 4: the best player in the NBA. He looks like he

1290
00:55:59,040 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 4: could do whatever he wants.

1291
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 5: He may be doing it all fundamentally, not flashy, but

1292
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 5: he looks like the most dominant player when he wants

1293
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 5: to be.

1294
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, and Manse I, this might be what you've been

1295
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 12: preaching for a while now, and I know it's the

1296
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 12: ultimate he is in source of frustration, but we've known this.

1297
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 12: The problem is he just hasn't been able to be

1298
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 12: healthy on a consistent basis. But I think the thing

1299
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 12: that should lead you more comfortable other Clipper fans more

1300
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 12: comfortable is that the further he is removed from you know,

1301
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 12: his injuries with you know, the bigger one, the AHDL

1302
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 12: injury and the twenty twenty one playoffs coming off the

1303
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 12: meniscus tear last year in the playoffs, he's going to

1304
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 12: show that he can be more available. And I think

1305
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 12: the reality as while the Clippers are certainly not blameless

1306
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 12: of you know them being the face of load management

1307
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 12: and maybe being a little too precautionary so to speak,

1308
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,919
Speaker 12: when it comes to Kawhi, these injuries have been real

1309
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 12: and the reason why he has that out is because

1310
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 12: they just know his the frugility of just how his

1311
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 12: body's been when he having such a heavy workload. So

1312
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 12: this is a very good encouraging side. Knock on wood

1313
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 12: will see if it can stay up a long term.

1314
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 12: But to your point, there's a reason why they invested

1315
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 12: so much. He is an amazing basketball player and one

1316
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 12: of the best in the MBAs.

1317
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 2: So if he and the rest of the Clippers team

1318
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 2: can stay healthy, do you believe this is the group

1319
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 2: that can finally take the Clippers to the NBA Finals.

1320
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a good question, man saying. I hate to

1321
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 12: get on your potentially down your bad side here, but

1322
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 12: I think even if that are healthy, I don't think

1323
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 12: that they would win the championship or get farther in

1324
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 12: the plus. But hear me out, has less to do

1325
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 12: with any issues with the Clippers, just has more to

1326
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 12: do with the fact that the rest of the Western

1327
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 12: Conference landscape is just so loaded out there, I think,

1328
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 12: most notably with the defending champs with the Denver Nuggets.

1329
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 12: And you have some other teams, you know, whether they're

1330
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 12: incumbent teams that are veterans that just have to be

1331
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 12: healthy like a Lakers, like a Sun, like a Warriors,

1332
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 12: or young upstart teams that are showing you know what

1333
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 12: you have to take them seriously, like Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Sacramento.

1334
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 12: But I think, if nothing else, the Clippers' best ceiling

1335
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 12: for them it's challenging the Nuggets in the Western Conference

1336
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 12: finals and assuming that both sides are relatively healthy. I

1337
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 12: would give the edge to Denver. But here, look, this

1338
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 12: is why they play the games. You know, no one's,

1339
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 12: no team's health is ever guaranteed. So if they just

1340
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 12: tap into the control bulls, they do have a fighting

1341
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 12: chance to finally make this work.

1342
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 3: All right.

1343
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: So it's been reported that Draymond Green is going to

1344
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: counseling for his unsportsman life behavior. Do you believe he

1345
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 2: will actually be changed once he's back from his suspension.

1346
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a tough question for me to unravel here

1347
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 12: because I think that he's not going to fundamentally change

1348
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 12: who he is. But I do have some relative optimism

1349
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 12: that he can change things enough that, you know, it's

1350
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 12: sad that you're asking as if this is such a favor,

1351
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 12: but change enough that he's not going to clock someone

1352
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 12: in face or give someone a choke hold, so that

1353
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 12: he's at least available. And that's been the challenge that

1354
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 12: the Warriors have wrestled with ever since he's been with

1355
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 12: the team. Of you don't want to temper the things

1356
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 12: that make him great, of the emotional fire, because that's

1357
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 12: how he plays at his best. But I think clearly

1358
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 12: this season this has crossed the line beyond anything that

1359
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 12: Draymond's ever done in his career, with whether it's been

1360
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 12: a yelling at officials or gaining into it with teammates

1361
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 12: Jordan Poole punch, Rudy Goldbert chokehold, choose up, Nurkic punch

1362
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 12: like these are things well and of and beyond what

1363
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 12: Draymond's ever done prior to that. So there is the

1364
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 12: danger I think that with how the Warriors have talked

1365
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 12: about him, as you know, and I'm not dismissing mental

1366
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 12: health or needing any counseling, that very well could be

1367
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 12: a thing, but it's also a danger of using that

1368
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 12: as a shield for accountability because when I've talked to

1369
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 12: layers the Warriors organization, the things that the thing that

1370
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 12: has funneled them is that, you know, with the team,

1371
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 12: they think that he's been as fine as he's usually been.

1372
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 12: It's just when he's on the court he's had those

1373
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 12: really bad moments. And because of that, I think it

1374
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 12: comes down to this, even with Draymond in his history,

1375
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 12: he should know better how to draw that line so

1376
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 12: that he's not doing the obvious things that don't make

1377
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 12: him available.

1378
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 15: On the court.

1379
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 4: I think I have an idea.

1380
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 5: I think we should just put a punching bag at

1381
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 5: every game that Draymond plays, like.

1382
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 4: Just on the side, like the fans can see a

1383
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 4: punching bag.

1384
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,959
Speaker 2: So the Angels have this when you go down after

1385
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 2: like if you strike out on the dugout, when you

1386
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 2: walk down, they have a giant punching bag right and swing.

1387
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: They're bad at that they can punch at. It's a

1388
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 2: great way to get out aggression.

1389
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 4: Hear me this out, But.

1390
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 5: Here's we put this punching bag in view of the

1391
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 5: fans and then we have pictures of the players that

1392
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 5: they're playing. So if he wants to punch Lebron, we

1393
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 5: just put a picture of Lebron on the punching bag,

1394
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 5: and then on the time out he can punch it

1395
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 5: and then he goes out there and then he doesn't

1396
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 5: do it in the actual games.

1397
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 12: It's the quota of swear jar.

1398
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 4: It sounds like I think this could work, is what

1399
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

1400
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 12: Let's see the Warriors havn't tried it, so no harm

1401
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 12: in saying that if a yield some success, we should put.

1402
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 4: In front of the fances. I'm saying so that that

1403
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 4: could work. How about Ja Morant. Ja Moran is back

1404
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 4: mark and to have the game winner in.

1405
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 5: A game that didn't look like it was going to

1406
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 5: start that well for the Grizzlies, what does that say

1407
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 5: for Memphis?

1408
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 12: Well, it says that his integration process is going to

1409
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 12: be a lot shorter than even I think he anticipated.

1410
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 12: I think initially it was minutes restriction and you're going

1411
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 12: to have some conditioning issues. But I think they're so

1412
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 12: far behind him, standing like they're third to last, that

1413
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 12: it's really hard for me to imagine that they can

1414
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 12: suddenly climb up enough that not only are they a

1415
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 12: serious contender, but that they can even make the playoffs

1416
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 12: now again like heaven forbid injuries having other teams, but

1417
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 12: you know, look, they're eight to nineteen. The only teams

1418
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 12: that are first than them are Portland and San Antonio

1419
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 12: and they are just hllaciously bad, right, So they have

1420
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 12: a lot of ground to makeup, and the West is

1421
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 12: loaded that I don't think that that they can you know,

1422
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 12: make up enough grounds here, but at least it's good

1423
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 12: momentum for next season, when you know he won't be

1424
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 12: missing the first twenty five games and they can build

1425
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 12: off of everything from this season.

1426
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 3: Mark, thank you so much for joining us.

1427

Speaker 3: see what's trending.

1434
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 7: What's trending right now is the Steelers offense. All right,

1435
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 7: they got twenty one points right now, A leading the

1436
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 7: Bengal with twenty one and nothing. But this is the

1437
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 7: first half. This is the most points scored in the

1438
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 7: first half by the Steeler since Ben Roethlisberger was playing

1439
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 7: for them.

1440
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 9: I just saw that on.

1441
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 7: Twitter or ex or whatever we're calling it these days.

1442
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 7: But that's impressive. Mason Rudolf getting his first starts to

1454
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 7: He'll be backing up James Cook Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

1455
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 7: He's clear concussion protocol. He'll play against the Buccaneers. The

1456
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 7: Jaguars tie the top the AFC South with the Colts

1457
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,160

01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 7: Ryan Tannehill will make his first start since he got

01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 2: He was one of my first baseball mentors and my

Speaker 2: former TV partner at the Angels. He is now one

1483

1485
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 2: welcome to Jose Mota.

1486
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 15: Jose, Hey, see what's up. It's been a long time.

1487
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 15: I hear the word mentor there. That just makes me

1488
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 15: sound way too old.

1489
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 3: No, it means you were I don't think mentors.

1490
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 2: I had one in each sport, and you were like

1491
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 2: if I had any questions, It was like, Jose, what

1492
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 2: is the player thinking in this spot? What are they

1493
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 2: thinking when they go here? Like I picked your brain

1494
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 2: for everything when I say mentor, And you took me

1495
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 2: on your wing and you were so awesome always, and

1496
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: we did yoga a lot.

1497
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right, including the crosso dangerous

1498
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 15: streets of San Francisco one there, mamma that.

1499
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we were on the road and travel together

1500
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 2: now on time. Yeah, yeah, no, that was dangerous, all right, Jose.

1501
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are officially the Kings of baseball with this

1502
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 2: off season that they just had. How did they pull

1503
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 2: off getting two of the biggest stars on the market.

1504
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 15: There's no secret to anybody that this organization is never satisfied.

1505
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 15: And the last two Octobers, Alex honestly left the really

1506
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 15: that tasting their valves, says to Okay, we went one

1507
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 15: hundred eleven games, we won one hundred games, and then

1508
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 15: comes one series in October and you're done, and you're

1509
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 15: done because you had no pitching and the previous year

1510
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 15: is because your hitting wins out even with big names.

1511
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 15: This October, the pitching was not good and then the

1512
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 15: hitting was not good, especially if you know the top

1513
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 15: two guys. But you know it takes more than two

1514
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 15: guys for you to produce. But when the spot comes

1515
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 15: up in the playoffs and you're facing premier pitching, you

1516
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 15: got to ask have your big guys produced, and it

1517
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 15: didn't happen. So the other answer to that, Alex, is

1518
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 15: the fact that there's deep pockets. There's no doubt about it.

1519
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 15: But I will cautiously say that, you know, we've seen

1520
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 15: a lot of teams win the winter. You know, the

1521
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 15: sexy moves and everything that comes along with signing the

1522
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 15: big names that turns out to nothing. By this type

1523
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 15: of talent, you cannot ignore. When you have the ability

1524
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 15: and the resources to go out there and get it,

1525
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 15: you have to put the effort in, considering that you're

1526
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 15: not leaning way too much one way, meaning on the

1527
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 15: offensive side, but you're balancing things out and knowing that

1528
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 15: you came up short on the pitching side.

1529
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 16: Jose Gao Wucho Gustop, So you just mentioned how hard

1530
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 16: the taste that the Dodgers left in fans' mouths the

1531
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 16: last two years.

1532
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 4: You just mentioned that.

1533
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 5: All right, So with this big acquisition, a billion dollars

1534
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 5: spent on players this winter, what is the minimum that

1535
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 5: the Dodgers can do this upcoming season where you feel like,

1536
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 5: all right, we're in the right we're in the right groove,

1537
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 5: because it can't be just making.

1538
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 15: The postseason, absolutely not, and you know what are without

1539
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 15: these guys. The key is always to go out there

1540
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 15: and be the last team standing in October, and you

1541
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 15: want to have that trophy and you want to be

1542
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 15: out there and take that big picture with your teammates

1543
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 15: and celebrate. Right in baseball, so many things happened in

1544
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 15: a long season. You know people talk about the six

1545
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 15: month season, Well it goes beyond that. I mean, you

1546
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 15: have months and have a spring training sent so things

1547
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 15: start happening and you got to joe together the team.

1548
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 15: But when you have this kind of talent together and

1549
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 15: the mentality and the drive that they have had to

1550
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 15: you know, the doll Your's history pretty much, there's never

1551
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 15: been like a settlement for the value to say, Okay,

1552
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 15: we're just good enough to others. Always been winning, right

1553
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 15: they obviously everybody's thinking, well, they got to win the

1554
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 15: World Series.

1555
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 10: You know what.

1556
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 15: That is the goal for them and for many other teams.

1557
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 15: But you got to get it done on the field.

1558
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 15: Anything short of that, when you have this much spending

1559
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 15: and this type of talent, of course it's going to

1560
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 15: be a disappointment. But at least everybody starts from the

1561
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 15: same spot, ground level, step in one of the ladder.

1562
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 15: But there's no doubt that they know they need to

1563
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 15: get through just getting to the postseason. They need to

1564
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 15: go up and be playing and be the last team standing.

1565
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 15: As I said before, and I told it now November.

1566
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 2: Now, Ooze, you spent time in Japan covering both Otani

1567
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 2: and Yamamoto during the WBC this year. So give us,

1568
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 2: like US fans, an idea of like the hype and

1569
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 2: the respect that Yamamoto and Otani have for the game,

1570
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 2: but also for winning, being a winning culture.

1571
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, always do your homework.

1572
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:24,560
Speaker 10: I know.

1573
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 15: I remember we were talking and you asked me if

1574
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 15: I was coming down to Miami. I remember that. Yeah, like, no,

1575
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 15: I'm done, because I know you and Ben were quite

1576
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 15: busy out there, quite busy. Here's before I went to

1577
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,600
Speaker 15: Japan for the World Baseball Classic. Obviously I knew what

1578
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 15: I was going to see out of Otani in some

1579
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 15: degree of level. What I saw from him was beyond

1580
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 15: anything I expected. And just the way he carried the flag,

1581
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 15: he put the weight of an entire country on the shoulders,

1582
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 15: and he put on the show. I mean, he put

1583
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 15: on a magnificent show for people to go. You haven't

1584
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 15: seen me play in so many years because I've been

1585
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 15: in the US. Who I am today? And when show

1586
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:06,760
Speaker 15: he left Hokkaido, his team in Japan and came to

1587
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 15: the US. He put it in front of himself and

1588
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 15: challenged himself to say, I need to become the best

1589
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 15: that there is in me and without with all that,

1590
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 15: Alex and you saw it too. There are some injuries

1591
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 15: and some failures, but he carried everything that was expected,

1592
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:28,719
Speaker 15: from the way he interacted with the fans in Japan,

1593
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 15: the way he hung out of the hotel lobby, the

1594
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 15: way he approached the fans in the ballpark. Batting practice

1595
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 15: was quite ReSpectacle, from the show that he put on

1596
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 15: to people watching him not only throw a bullpen and

1597
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:42,640
Speaker 15: the whole very world, but then, oh, he's got to

1598
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 15: hit VP now And it was pretty much awesome. Brackastering

1599
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 15: the games over there when he was pitching was tough,

1600
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 15: and I told Showy this because they go silent between pitches.

1601
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 15: So you know in the US he used to liket

1602
01:10:55,800 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 15: the cheerio was they go silent, don't respect to the

1603
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 15: players concentration. It's like it's like the golf gallery, right,

1604
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 15: and then they applaud and they like oohs and odds

1605
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 15: when they said the speed right, same thing when they're hitting.

1606
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 15: All these big stars are just revered like that in

1607
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 15: Japan and Yamamoto. Before I went to Japan, I was

1608
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 15: asking some scouts and people on baseball and they're talking about,

1609
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 15: how have you seen the pitching for a team Samurai Japan.

1610
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 15: I'm like, yes, I have, I've seen the names. I've

1611
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 15: done the video research. And they're like, that is as

1612
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 15: filthy as they come, and it will show. Hey it

1613
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 15: Sasaki and Yamamoto a twenty one year old guy that's

1614
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 15: pretty much knocking on the door too. But he's got

1615
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 15: a few years ahead of him. Before you even be posted. Yamamoto,

1616
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 15: people say, just watch him pitch and just think about

1617
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 15: a combination of Royer Cummins, A Pedro Martinez, Mike Mosina

1618
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 15: put all together on one and you're going to justin Verlander,

1619
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 15: and you're gonna get this guy from pitching from ninety

1620
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 15: one to ninety five or six to ninety eight, with command,

1621
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 15: with devastating splitter with a low curbo, which Showhy had

1622
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 15: when he came from Japan and then eventually it disappeared. Yeah,

1623
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 15: and then to the way he attacks his own. So

1624
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 15: this guy is a premier package who was backed it

1625
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 15: up by winning MVPs in Japan and being the most

1626
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,600
Speaker 15: house standing pitcher twice to throw a no hitters, to

1627
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 15: just dominating and making a lot of players in the

1628
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 15: battles box feel very uncomfortable. Hopefully it will transition well

1629
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 15: into the US. I'm a big fan of keeping these

1630
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 15: guys on their schedule that they had in Japan, pitching

1631
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 15: once a week until they get adjusted. Not to push it,

1632
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 15: but for sure, Alex, you know quite well and you too,

1633
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 15: that they are going to go through the changes of

1634
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 15: the baseball is different, the mounds are different, the nurves different,

1635
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,600
Speaker 15: and so many things. But expect big things for this

1636
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 15: guy because stuff wise, there's probably not ten guys in

1637
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 15: the big leagues that have the kind of stuff.

1638
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it's crazy, and he dominated the MPP.

1639
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 2: He had under a two eera the last three years

1640
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 2: through one hundred and seventy one innings last year with

1641
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 2: a one point one six era. Like he is a

1642
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 2: power pitcher. He might not look like a power pitcher,

1643
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 2: but his stuff is one of power. But as you mentioned,

1644
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 2: the transition is never easy for these guys. It is

1645
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 2: a complete culture shock. We watched this with Otani coming

1646
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 2: to the angel So how big of an impact and

1647
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 2: was it the biggest impact? Otani is the main really

1648
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,879
Speaker 2: a big reason that he decided to come to the Dodgers.

1649
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 15: Well, Tani's big, but the big dollars are more important. Yeah,

1650
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 15: but sho Hey at least is now a reference point

1651
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 15: so to a lot of these guys. Yeah, in terms

1652
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 15: of how did you do it and how did you adjust? Okay,

1653
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 15: so you remember spring training twenty eighteen, Alex, that was horrific. Okay,

1654
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 15: that was painful. Shorey couldn't pitch, Shoy couldn't grip a baseball,

1655
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 15: Shoy couldn't hit, and we're all going what it's going

1656
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 15: on in Shoy's mind and the people around were like, no, no, no,

1657
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 15: he's just getting ready for the season. Don't worry about it.

1658
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 15: The adjustment that you have a model and the other

1659
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 15: guys are the need to make you know what he's

1660
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 15: a resource and named Charlotte Tani And not only would

1661
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 15: the Dodgers, but there's other Japanese players asking how did

1662
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 15: show a what'd you do?

1663
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 10: What?

1664
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,720
Speaker 15: What was the turning point for you? And what are

1665
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 15: the main things that you adjusted to to make sure

1666
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,680
Speaker 15: that you play your game and got it to the

1667
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 15: next level. Yeah, so what a better resource to say, Hey,

1668
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 15: what can I do that I can forget about that

1669
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 15: over there and bring here to make it a lot

1670
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 15: easier because you're brought here to win. The Dodgers have

1671
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 15: nothing guaranteed, nothing guaranteed. It's only on paper, but they

1672
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 15: know there's also more of an bullseye on them, knowing

1673
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 15: that they're the reason why the expectations are going through

1674
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 15: the roof.

1675
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be so much fun to watch

1676
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 3: us here.

1677
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 2: Jose, Thank you so much for joining us, giving us

1678
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 2: that insight into these Japanese players and Dodgers baseball.

1679
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 3: I appreciate you so much. I miss you so much.

1680
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see you at Dodgers Stadium this season,

1681
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 2: and I hope you have a wonderful holiday with the family.

1682
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 15: You two all the same to both of you and

1683
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 15: again goodbye.

1684
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 2: Oh I mean it's so crazy because you forget it's

1685
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 2: like language barrier. Oh yeah, the game's different, the mounds different,

1686
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 2: the ball feels different.

1687
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 3: Everything's a little different.

1688
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:21,799
Speaker 5: And he was up close and personal to a player

1689
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 5: that here in America people are like, you gave how.

1690
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 4: Much money to a guy who's never pitched one?

1691
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 17: So ball?

1692
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 3: You major for a little bit of an adjustment here.

1693
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 3: Just remember that. B Patia.
