11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: are going to get into a busy, a weirdly busy Saturday.

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: As the SEGRE just told you. The team USA Men's

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: team almost lost. The Team USA Women's team did lose,

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: but Jaymore and I were both out last week. I

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: was with family in a way, but but Jamart, there's

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: some things that I know you kind of just want

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: to get off your chest.

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: Off the top.

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: I've worked with you now for I think we're going

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: on our fourth fall. I feel like I've gotten to

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: know you. I consider you a friend. I just want

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: to give you a moment to kind of, maybe in

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: your own words, kind of explain to the audience why

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: you were out last week.

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 4: Well, I appreciate that.

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: Brother.

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't supposed to be out last week two

28
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 4: weeks ago when we did the show off the top

29
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 4: like always, j Ascal was doing and I said, man,

30
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 4: you know, the week has kind of had its way

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: with me. And usually I wouldn't say that usually, but

32
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 4: it really had. And the reason why is because early well,

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: I guess you would say the Saturday prior my dad

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 4: had he had had a couple of days where his

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: stomach just wasn't feeling right, and eventually he usually doesn't

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 4: do this, but something got into his head, in his

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: heart and told him, you need to go to the

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: hospital and get this checked out. So he went and

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 4: got it checked out, and they found he had a

40
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 4: condition and that to be permanently cured of it, he

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: needed to have surgery. And this is a pretty rare condition.

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: I think at zero point six percent of the population

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 4: would ever deal with this, but it can be pretty serious,

44
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: especially at his age is seventy eight. So he went

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: in and he had the surgery and it was, you know,

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: pretty dangerous considering his age and relative health and things

47
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 4: like that, but he came out of it great, and

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: you know, we were pretty celebratory and that whole week. Yeah,

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: he had a little bit of discomfort, but when I

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: talked to him, things are really positive. And the day

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: of our show that Saturday, earlier in the day, I

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 4: had picked him up from the hospital and taken him

53
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: the one mile or so to the rehabilitation center where

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: he was going to be for about ten to fourteen

55
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 4: days to build up his strength. Helped him get into

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: the room, you know. I got his stuff and sat

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: it down, and I noticed they were asking him about

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: a billion questions and I felt like I was kind

59
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: of in the way at that point, so I said,

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: all right, Dad, love you, hope, I hope everything goes well.

61
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: I'll be in touch and let me know if you

62
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: need something. And he thanked me for everything I had done,

63
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: and that was it, and I thought, okay, all right,

64
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: we're good to go. So when I came back and

65
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: I did this show two saturdays ago, Yeah, the week

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: had been rough. There have been some other things happened,

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 4: and my mom's not in great health either. Had to

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: have a pretty difficult conversation with her about that during

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: the course of the week. So it was a week

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: and then Sunday morning, I woke up after doing the show,

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 4: but again I was in a pretty celebratory mood. And

72
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 4: then Sunday morning, I wake up and they've called and

73
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 4: they said, hey, you know, he was a little bit

74
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: nauseated last night. We weren't sure. We didn't think it

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: looked quite right, so we sent him back over the

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: hospital just to get it checked out. As the day progressed,

77
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: he ended up having another surgery similar to the first,

78
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: and he was going to be put in ICU, and

79
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: then he was going to be sent back to the

80
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: rehabilitation center. And then I kept getting calls, and the

81
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: calls got worse, and they got worse, and they got worse,

82
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: and by Monday afternoon, his brain and kidneys had shut down.

83
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: His blood pressure had plummeted, his oxygen had plummeted. They

84
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: couldn't keep it up. He was on one hundred percent

85
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: life support, and about four or five pm on Monday

86
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: on that Monday, they said, hey, if you want to

87
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: see him, now's the time. So I kind of knew

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: at that point what that meant, and so I had

89
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: to break that in person to my mom because I

90
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: had walked out of her room in the assistant living facilities.

91
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: She was in and taken that call and came back

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: in and she said, have we lost him? And I

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: said no, but I'm afraid we're close, and she broke

94
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: And I wasn't sure I was going to see him

95
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: because ID driven him to the rehab facility and that Saturday,

96
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 4: you know, he was sitting next to me in the

97
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 4: passenger seat and we were just having a regular conversation

98
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: like like always. We were talking about Mom because that's

99
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: always his first care and you know, I did go

100
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 4: and see him and he was already you know, he

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: didn't really look like himself. He had all the machines

102
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 4: and everything keeping him alive. I was able to pray

103
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: saw him twenty seven over him and I told him,

104
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 4: I said, you know, I touched him and he was cold.

105
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 4: He wasn't he wasn't gone, but he was cold. And

106
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: I just said, hey, it's okay to go. Lord's calling

107
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 4: you home, brother, I'll see you soon. Didn't say goodbye,

108
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: just said i'll see you soon. I thought I was

109
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: gonna have to make a tough decision for him based

110
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 4: on his wishes. But about ninety minutes after I left,

111
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 4: they called me and said his heart had stopped, and

112
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: so my dad passed away that Monday night, and you know,

113
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: since then, it's just kind of been a whirlwind. Not

114
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: to be labor it, but just to say this, just

115
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: about every Saturday night we've done this show. Not to

116
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 4: mention the years and years I did either morning radio

117
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 4: or evening radio in Nashville, the time I worked for

118
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: Klay Travis, all of everything I've done in my career.

119
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: Not only his dad supported it, but he's listened. He always,

120
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 4: you know, they you couldn't always get a good signal

121
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 4: for us where he lived at one point, but he

122
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 4: always listened to our show on Saturday nights via the app,

123
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: and sometimes he could send a message about something you

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: said or something I said and his opinion on that.

125
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 4: A few times when we went into touchy territory, he said,

126
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 4: watch yourself, like, be careful how you say this. Like

127
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: he was always a father until the very end. But

128
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: the love of sports that he had is why I'm here.

129
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: It's why I do this. The love of Jesus is

130
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: why i'm now, you know, in seminary, looking to be

131
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 4: a pastor myself, because he raised me to love the Lord,

132
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: and he took me to sporting events, and he was

133
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: just a wonderful man and one of our biggest fans

134
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 4: and just somebody. It was just it kind of came

135
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 4: as a shock when you celebrate at first surgery not

136
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: knowing the second one's coming, and then the second one

137
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 4: does a man. I just it was crazy. But he

138
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 4: passed away at seventy eight, and we had the funeral

139
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: on Wednesday, and I've been out of the state for

140
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 4: a large part of this week, so just a wild time.

141
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: The one last thing I'll say is my older daughter

142
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 4: is three, Ivy Beth. My new one is will turn

143
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: four months tomorrow. I'm so grateful that God gave him

144
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: time to be with both of them, especially the older one,

145
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 4: just because they became really really close in the last

146
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: six months, and just something that gave him something on

147
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: the It's just it's amazing that he was able to

148
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: see his two granddaughters, because it's his earlier granddaughter from

149
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: my half brother was killed in a car accident. I

150
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: think she was about twenty years old at the time,

151
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: so there have been a grieving process for many years

152
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: for that. So I'm grateful that he had the time,

153
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: and I'm just grateful that I had a father that

154
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 4: I can say almost nothing negative about it all. I

155
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 4: don't have any story where it's you know, something I

156
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: had to overcome, and I know a lot of people do,

157
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: and I know a lot of people have lost wonderful

158
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: fathers too. Just to add mine to the list. He

159
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: was my best man in my wedding for a reason.

160
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: He's he's he is anything good that is in me.

161
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 4: I learned from him through the way he lived his life,

162
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: and the Holy Spirit used him to guide me along

163
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: the pathway. So I love him and I look forward

164
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: to seeing him again, and I appreciate you give me

165
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: a couple.

166
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: Of minutes, absolutely, And I know just from talking to

167
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: you one, I know how.

168
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: Much that he meant in your life, and I know

169
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: you know.

170
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: To put it on what we do here every Saturday

171
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: that I don't know if he was a big fan

172
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: of what we did, but I know he was one

173
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: of our both of our biggest supporters. So I wanted

174
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: to give you a minute to just you know, honor him,

213
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: men's basketball holds on by the skin of their teeth

214
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: against the South Sudan. Will discuss that momentarily, but jaymart,

215
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 2: we gotta get into what happened in Phoenix this evening.

216
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: So the TEAMUS, so basically, the way they did it

217
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: is this is that the WNBA All Star Weekend, it's

218
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: their midway point, and they decided to have a group

219
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: of WNBA All Stars play against Team USA, the team

220
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 2: that will represent US at the US Olympics. Here or

221
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: at the US Olympics. At the Olympics in just a

222
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: few weeks. All sounds great on paper. All we're gonna

223
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: get Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, first time they've ever

224
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: been teammates. Well, you know what, id Mike Tyson say.

225
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

226
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: Team WNBA beats Team USA.

227
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: One seventeen to one oh nine.

228
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: Arique A goon Bala with a w NBA All Star

229
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: record thirty four points, Angel Reese with a double double,

230
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark one assist off an All Star Game record.

231
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, Jason, those whispers about who

232
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: should and should not have been on.

233
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: The Olympic team. I get the sets.

234
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 2: They probably aren't quieting up tonight after what we saw

235
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 2: in Phoenix, j Mark.

236
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 4: No, I would say not. Caitlin didn't shoot the ball well,

237
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: but you mentioned tennissists, so she found a way to

238
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: contribute in another way. And she has certainly been passing

239
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: pretty effectively the last week or so. Still got the

240
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 4: turnover issue, but she's and she's trying to make every

241
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 4: play under the sun. But she didn't hit a three.

242
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: She went full Bronnie James went over James.

243
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: I know she was not Brownie Ja.

244
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: She was.

245
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I actually was watching quite a bit

246
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: of this first half she really actually kind of controlled

247
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: the pace of the game. And then second half she

248
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: gets her her tenth or her tenth assist, which puts

249
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: her one off the record. Cheryl Miller brings her to

250
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: the bench and listen, I'm not starting a conspiracy theory here,

251
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: because there's enough negativity in the world. I think what

252
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 2: happened was that I don't want to trip over this

253
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: girl's name. Arique umb um a goomba, a goomba walle,

254
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: a goombawle. I apologize, Arikee a goombawalle. She just started

255
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: cooking and so so. But now Caitlin Clark was playing

256
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: really well well to your point, she wasn't shooting well,

257
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: but she was really controlling Temple early a goomba walle

258
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: later in the game really sort of took over. But uh,

259
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: but yeah, I didn't mean to cut you off. But

260
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: but this was not Bronnie James.

261
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 4: I could promise you no, yeah, no, I was just

262
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 4: talking about for seven from three. But I mean, yeah,

263
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 4: it's certainly not going to quiet anybody down. As a

264
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 4: matter of fact, it's like, oh, yeah, you're gonna leave

265
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 4: them off the team. I mean, would we be more

266
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: interested in watching women play if Caitlyn Clark and Angel

267
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: Reeves run the Olympic team. I think the answers absolutely.

268
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: I mean that was the reason there was a there

269
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 4: was an argument to begin with. Did we think that

270
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark at that point in time was one of

271
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: the twelve best w NBA players in the world. No,

272
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 4: not necessarily, But when's the last time they lost a game?

273
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 4: I mean this, I mean we're gonna talk about the

274
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: men here in a minute, but when it comes to

275
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 4: the women, I feel like, even if you find a

276
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 4: way to get around the roster, it's not the end

277
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: of the world. But I also just don't know, like,

278
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: what's what's the what's the overall talent discrepancy between the

279
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: twelve best and these girls some of these girls, some

280
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 4: of these young ladies that are just breaking through. And

281
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: it's such a weird sport in that the rookies are

282
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 4: the biggest stars and that's just not a thing that

283
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 4: you generally see. It doesn't mean that you don't know

284
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: who they are, and you're not paying close attention. But

285
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 4: I don't think Caleb Williams is walking in to be

286
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: a bigger star than Patrick Mahomes. You know, we still

287
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: were going to know who Patrick Mahomes is more than

288
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 4: we are Caleb Williams. But it's kind of the opposite

289
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 4: in the WNBA. And again, this whole thing for them

290
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: should be about marketing and advertising and trying to take

291
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: advantage of this lightning moment that they have with a

292
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: couple of players. And I do say a couple because

293
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: Angel Reies just continues to conduct herself in such a

294
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: way on the floor, especially where she can't be denied

295
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: in terms of what she is doing. She is maximizing

296
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: what she can do, especially on the glass, and what

297
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 4: she can do on the defensive end. So I just

298
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: look at all of it and just say, yeah, this

299
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 4: is not the result that you would have wanted. Although

300
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: again I think that those that want to find something

301
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: to criticize are just going to say, well, look at

302
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 4: what Kaitlyn Clark did. She was two for nine to

303
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 4: zero for seven, So that doesn't make your case all

304
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: that strong. But I agree with you. I certainly think

305
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 4: that the voices are going to be louder or not saw.

306
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: Well, and I think the issue becomes, you know, exactly

307
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: what you just said was that the argument was, well,

308
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: this is based on merit, because you said, you know,

309
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: what is the gap between the first twelve and say,

310
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: hypothetically the next twelve. And it's like, well, that's fine,

311
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: but when you make a big stink about well, you know,

312
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: I mean, we would have loved to take Caitlin. We

313
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: would have loved to take this girl, you know, a goomba.

314
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: Walle is the second leading scorer. I know she's kind

315
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: of a high volume shooter, so maybe she's not the

316
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: perfect fit. But this was the argument, and I think, listen,

317
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what the all the Big Show is

318
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: going to talk about come Monday, but I think this

319
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: is going to be a topic because you made a

320
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: big stink about this being about merit, about being about

321
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: the twelve best players, the most deserving players. And if

322
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: you watch that game, there was one team that looked

323
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: more talented than the other one. And listen, I was

324
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: telling the guys VJ and Martin when we're kind of

325
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: switching up here, Listen, I am obviously a huge Diana

326
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: Tarazi fan because of her time at mi alma Mater Yukon,

327
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: leading U kind of three national championships. But she's forty

328
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: two years old, you know, didn't play a ton. But

329
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: you just look at some of these girls off the bench.

330
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: And by the way, to be clear, I'm not claiming

331
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,359
Speaker 2: that I am the foremost expert on all things women's basketball,

332
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: but if you watch the game, it was so clear

333
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: that there was no gap, in large part because of

334
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: some of the players that were on that team USA

335
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: or a team WNBA team. And I guess that's where

336
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: I'm getting tripped up.

337
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: Jason.

338
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: Is you told us it was about taking it based

339
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: on merit, it was taking about the twelve players based

340
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: on merit. Well, if it was really about taking the

341
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: twelve best players, I don't think you did based on

342
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: what we saw in Phoenix on Saturday night.

343
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, I don't know the All Star scenario and

344
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: kind of the weirdness of it. I don't know if

345
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 4: there's anything to that, but this is the only metric

346
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 4: that you can look at where you have all this

347
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: stuff head to head and you can try to parse

348
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: anything from it. I think it's gonna look. I think

349
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: they're gonna be fine. Either way, generally, I still think

350
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 4: it was a missed opportunity and the fact that you

351
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 4: create new questions and problems is exactly the opposite of

352
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 4: what you would have wanted.

353
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and that that's where I think the issue

354
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: comes in is is I get that it was a

355
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: showcase for the younger players, but you're supposed to win

356
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: this game. And I do think what was interesting was

357
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: they were talking about this during the game, is that

358
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 2: this isn't like the men's team that has you know,

359
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: that has five six exhibition games to ramp up for

360
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: the Olympics, like Team USA. This is one. They have

361
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: one other exhibition then it's go time in Paris. So

362
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting. But if you watch that game, man,

363
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: I'll tell you Team USA listen, they're probably.

364
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: They're gonna win the Olympics.

365
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: But I don't think that it's going to quiet the

366
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: conversation about did they take the best team? And again,

367
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: if the argument is that we were taking players based

368
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 2: on it's hard to argue that they took the twelve

369
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: best players really quickly Jmart. Prior to the game last night,

370
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: we did have the skills competition at the at the

371
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: All Star Game and All Star weekend, and I bring

372
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 2: it up because there's an interesting thing that kind of

373
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: kind of popped up, which is that Caitlin Clark actually

374
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: opted out of the WNBA All Star Game. She's in

375
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: the w of the three point competition. I apologize. When

376
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: asked about it on Friday, she said, quote, I think

377
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: just rest. I've been playing basketball for a year straight.

378
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: It's not an easy thing to just show up and

379
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 2: to just shoot off a rack. It's not something I've

380
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: ever done before. It's not something I've had a lot

381
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: of time to practice. I've been focusing on helping my

382
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: team win games. Let me ask you a question, because

383
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: we just talked about the Olympics. There were a lot

384
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: of people, including you right now, me right now, and

385
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: a lot of people in the media that went too

386
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: bad for her and said, hey, it's good for the

387
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: growth of women's bassketball if you put Caitlin Clark on

388
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: that Olympic team. So I bring it up because I

389
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: don't want to speak for you, but if if we're

390
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: gonna sit here and defend her and say put her

391
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: on the Olympic team because it's good for the growth

392
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 2: of the sport, I kind of got to criticize her

393
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: because I think she missed a golden opportunity to help

394
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: her sport at the skills competition on Friday night. I

395
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: know she's tired. I know she's played NonStop. I know

396
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: she went straight from the IOWA season to the WNBA season.

397
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 2: I'm not saying she's not tired, but she isn't on

398
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: the Olympic team. She does have a month off while

399
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: Brianna Stewart and Asia Wilson and Diana Tarazi go to Paris.

400
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 2: And I think if we're gonna, if we're gonna, you know,

401
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: criticize everybody else when they miss an opportunity to use

402
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: her to grow the game, I think she should be

403
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: under a little bit of fire right now for choosing

404
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: to skip out on the three point competition. I think

405
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 2: it would have brought a lot of exposure to last

406
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: night's events.

407
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 4: Oh, I agree one hundred percent, and I think that's fair.

408
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 4: I think that I think your point is exactly the

409
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 4: right one, which is, if we're going to critique the

410
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: league for blowing it here and there, then we also

411
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: have to find that for Caitlin when she does something

412
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 4: that just seems antithetical to the growth of the game.

413
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: It's kind of like, if we're gonna sit here and

414
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 4: blame Lebron James for never doing a dunk contest, and

415
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: we better do that for Kaitlin Clark in the three

416
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 4: point shootout, like Steph Curry did it, Klay Thompson did it,

417
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 4: Damian Lewd's done it. Like all these great three point

418
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 4: shooters have gone out there and they've done the three

419
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 4: point shootout. Now it's Kaitlin Clark going to do it

420
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 4: within her career. Yes, but this is a rookie year

421
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: where she's as hot as she'll ever be, coming off

422
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 4: of everything that happened at Iowa and just being in

423
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 4: the news as often as she's been as a rookie

424
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: this year in the WNBA, And again there is a

425
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 4: responsibility that comes with that. The league is going to

426
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 4: feature her because they're not going to have a choice

427
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 4: because that's a lot of what people want to see.

428
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 4: But if she actually, you know, embraces that on her side,

429
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 4: then she can help the league that is helping her

430
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: at the same time. So I think it is absolutely

431
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 4: fair to criticize her in this case and just saying yeah,

432
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: I think that was one you should you should have

433
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: rethought like it's not the end of the world and

434
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 4: she'll have an opportunity. I'm sure to do it in

435
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 4: the future, but this it would have made a lot

436
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 4: of us pay attention where there was no reason to

437
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 4: without a Reddit.

438
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: I agree All Star Weekends, I guess officially over the

439
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 2: team USA Women's team loses to Team WNBA. Caitlyn Clark

440
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: among many players for THEWNBA All Star team who played

441
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: very well. Tell you what, Jason will come back when

442
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: we do. We got to talk about the team USA

443
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: men's team holds on by the skin of their teeth

444
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: against the South Sudan. We'll discuss that next. Cause for

445
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 2: concern for the men's team. Before we get to that, though,

446
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: let's toss it over the news desk to Seger what

447
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: is trending.

448
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 8: Hello, gentlemen, And also Caitlyn Clark said, I need a break.

449
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 8: I need to take some time to myself to enjoy

450
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 8: what I want to do. At times it can be

451
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 8: tough in the position I'm in, but I think it's

452
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 8: going to be healthiest for myself.

453
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: I looked at it up.

454
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: We all understand burnout. You're playing in the game. You

455
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: couldn't have waited twenty four hours. You're getting the break.

456
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just oh, no.

457
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 8: I was referencing the fact that you're talking about this

458
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 8: WNBA team beat the US Olympic team. I think it's

459
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 8: better for her belief that she's not on the Olympic

460
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 8: team this summer playing a year straight. I did look

461
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 8: it up. By the way, I know women's basketball got

462
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 8: into the Summer Olympics nineteen seventy six, back when Ann

463
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 8: Myers and the rest were playing. Ann Myers was assistant

464
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 8: coaching with Cheryl Miller UCLA and USC on the bench

465
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 8: winning tonight. And of course the US didn't participate when

466
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 8: they boycotted the Soviet Union games in nineteen eighty. So

467
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 8: if you go women's basketball back to the nineteen eighty

468
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 8: four Olympics in LA, the win loss record for the

469
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 8: US women in Olympic play is sixty nine and one

470
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 8: since nineteen eighty four.

471
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, aren't they like seventy four to one in their

472
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 2: last like eight years something something crazy like that.

473
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 3: I know it's well. They did lose to.

474
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 8: The WNBA All Stars three years ago in the tune

475
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 8: up game before going to Tokyo and the game MVP

476
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 8: was Arika a Gunbowalle. So just for the record, I don't.

477
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: Remember leading the show with that one. I could be mistaken.

478
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: Don't think we led with the WNB All Star Game.

479
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 8: By the way, their one loss in Olympic play since

480
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 8: nineteen seventy six was they lost to the Soviet Unions

481
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 8: right about the time of the breakup of the Soviet

482
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 8: Union in the early nineties. At the Barcelona Games. They

483
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 8: lost in a semi final, so that would have been

484
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 8: right before Lisa Leslie was joining the team and winning

485
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 8: four straight gold medals. US women's team for twenty twenty four.

487

488

Speaker 8: Goonbowale who scored thirty four points, all in the second

535
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 2: US women's team losing to a group of WNBA all stars.

00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: The US men's team, how about this, jmart almost lost

537
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 2: to According to an article I read today, the newest

538
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: country in the world, South Sudan recently gained its independence

539
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: from Sudan. They this is the first year they've ever

540
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: qualified for the Olympics. Now, I will say, you know,

541
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: they've got some guys with Sudanese heritage that play in

542
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: the NBA.

543
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: Including JT.

544
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: Thor, who, by the way, hit the go ahead three

545
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 2: with under ten seconds to go. Lebron James does have

546
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: a bucket as in the final seconds. US does beat

547
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: South Sudan, as De Seger just told you, by one point.

548
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: But we're talking about a South Sudanese team who again

549
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: they're best players, carlak Jones who is playing overseas, Weddy

550
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: and Gabriel, JT. Thor by the way, Kaman Malawak who's

551
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: gonna be a freshman at Duke next year. So we're

552
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 2: not talking about a who's who of international superstars. But

553
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 2: US survives. But they've been kind of hot and cold

554
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: in this tune up run. Are yet at all concerned

555
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: about the Team USA Men's team.

556
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, they won and this was

557
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 4: a tune up, and I don't know if they were

558
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: up for it, and I just don't know. Can they

559
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 4: get beat?

560
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

561
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 4: I think they can. I shuddered to try and go

562
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 4: too far and say it was some kind of effort thing,

563
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 4: or they couldn't get themselves up for this because they

564
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 4: didn't expect to challenge and they are a team that

565
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 4: is good enough that they can turn on the after

566
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: burners late and still get back in and win. Like, Look,

567
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 4: the Celtics just won the NBA Championship, but there were

568
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 4: a lot of games where they could have lost, but

569
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 4: they just had an extra gear, made a couple of

570
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 4: plays late in the game and won. Maybe this Team

571
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: EOSA team is similar to that. They have so much

572
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 4: talent that it can be a little lethargic at times.

573
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 4: I don't know that I'm concerned about it. If they

574
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 4: were to get beat, I'm not gonna call it the

575
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 4: biggest shock in the world, if that makes sense.

576
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was interesting because I saw some of the

577
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: if South Sudan had won, it would have been one

578
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: of the biggest upsets in sports history. I don't know

579
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: that I could take it that far enough. They have

580
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: four or five guys that at least have had a

581
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: cup of coffee with the NBA. But it is interesting.

582
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: You know, you can't overanalyze all of it. But at

583
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: the same time, I will say it does feel like

584
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: Steve Kerr, and some of it's not totally his fault.

585
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant just came back from injury last game. He

586
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: was not playing. You have Kawhi for about a week

587
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: of training camp and then he leaves, and then you

588
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: have Derek White.

589
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 3: But it's kind of a ramp up period.

590
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: But it does feel like Steve Kerr hasn't totally figured

591
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: out how to kind of best mobilize everybody. It's been interesting.

592
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: I noticed this the first game and it's been a

593
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: little bit of a conversation since.

594
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: Is that one.

595
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to put it on any

596
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: one player because he actually played pretty well today, But

597
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: it does feel like, for whatever reason, Anthony Davis is

598
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: just better built for international basketball than joelmb Joel Mbi.

599
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: It has been getting starts, but it was actually Anthony

600
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: Davis who played more on Saturday twenty twenty one minutes.

601
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: Excuse me, fifteen points, eleven rebounds.

602
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: It's just interesting, though, and this is what happens when

603
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: you get a group of guys that haven't played together.

604
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: We know this is a US Olympic basketball story as

605
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: old as time, but it just feels like there's kind

606
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 2: of this weird dichotomy where Lebron and Steph are the leaders.

607
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: But but you know, honestly, Steph's been okay, but except

608
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: for that one game a few days ago, he hasn't

609
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: been great. Anthony Edwards and Jason Tatum have probably been better.

610
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: So you have kind of the young verses old. You

611
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: have Joel Embiid starting but Anthony Davis coming off the bench.

612
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: But Anthony Davis been playing better. I don't know if

613
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: it's just an ego juggling thing or what, but I

614
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: you know, and this isn't like a.

615
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: Steve Carr's failing America like this.

616
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: I'm not like, I'm not going hard in the paint

617
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: on Steve Carr, but it just doesn't feel like he's

618
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: totally figured out what he has on that roster, how

619
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: to totally use it.

620
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he does have some disparate pieces, but

621
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: the easy thing to do is look at it and be, well,

622
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: you know, Jayon Brown should be on this team. Remember

623
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 4: the whole controversy of bringing Derek White on and Jalen

624
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 4: Brown might be the best Celtic, but he's the one

625
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: that's not on the team. And what does that say. Well,

626
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 4: I will say this, They're gonna have to play defense

627
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 4: in this thing. I do think Jaylen Brown is an

628
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: outstanding player, but Derek White does give them that defense

629
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 4: like that is one of the things that he does.

630
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 4: He's kind of a nasty player, so some even call

631
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 4: him a dirty player in the NBA because the way

632
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 4: he approaches the defensive side of the ball. So they

633
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 4: are going to need some nastiness like that, the way

634
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 4: the rules are, the way it's officiated, and just the

635
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 4: physicality that is there. But there are you know, sometimes

636
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: you put a collection of superstars together and they don't

637
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 4: necessarily mesh well, and that's why you get these tune

638
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 4: ups so that they can kind of learn each other. Plus,

639
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 4: let's not forget Kevin Durant's not playing. Kawhi already had

640
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: to drop out, and so it hasn't been exactly what

641
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: you would expect. I'm not like, you know, I don't

642
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 4: think we're a code red territory or anything like that.

643
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 4: I do look at it and say, you know, this

644
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 4: one could be a bit of a challenge. You also

645
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 4: have a team that's made up of largely older guys,

646
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 4: Like yeah, there are some young dudes, but not a lot.

647
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 4: Most of them have a lot of NBA miles, They've

648
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: dealt with a lot of injuries. They many of them

649
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 4: already have rings. So you have to wonder, you know,

650
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 4: how important is a gold medal compared to some of

651
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 4: these things, and how much of their body's been beaten up,

652
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 4: and how much time do they need. So there's a

653
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 4: lot of factors I think they could go into this.

654
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just been weird. There really hasn't been a

655
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: ton of consistency. Like I said, Anthony Edwards was the

656
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: leading scorer coming into today. He has just eleven, which

657
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: is fifth on the team. And Anthony Davis probably has

658
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: been the best big uh and it has been interesting

659
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: to watch him. Mean, I was even filling in for

660
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 2: I want to say, Doug Gottlie maybe earlier this week,

661
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 2: and we had Rick Buker on and we talked about

662
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: you know, if you watch the games, you can kind

663
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: of tell, like Jason Tatum Anthony Edwards have a little

664
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: bit more oof to him at this point in their

665
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: careers than Lebron and Steph do. But I'll tell you what,

666
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: Lebron at the moment that they needed him does get

667
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: the bucket.

668
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: Team USA holds on.

669
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: To win by one point one oh one one hundred,

670
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: but it is worth noting and playing the South Sudan

671
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: in the Olympics. Playing South Sudan today, but they will

672
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: also face them in the Olympics when they get to

676
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: It was a monumental week, a week where something happened

677
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: that we've been waiting for for a decade and jmart

685
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: boardop Mary Mack parents from the South Sudan. So South

686
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: Sudan became a country in two thouy eleven and took

687
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 2: Team USA men's basketball right down to the wire. They

688
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: will be competing in their first ever Olympics in Paris

689
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: in just a few weeks. Well, it's happened. The moment,

690
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: speaking of America, the moment America has been waiting for.

691
00:33:54,520 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: It took ten long years earlier this week though, EA

692
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: Sports eleven years whatever, EAH decade plus.

693
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 4: It matters, does it? I think ZO was it extra

694
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 4: year we had to wait?

695
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: Fair enough?

696
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: EA Sports College Football twenty five not only hit shelves,

697
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: but hit mailboxes, hit drop offs, whatever, now be fully transparent.

698
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: I have not played the game. I don't plan on

699
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 2: playing the game, not because I don't want to, not

700
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: because I'm not a gamer, but because I know that

701
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: I'll get so hooked that it will probably put my

702
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: marriage in jeopardy. So I'm staying away. I'm quitting Cold

703
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 2: Turkey before I even have to quit. But j mart

704
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 2: for people like myself who want to play the game

705
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: but either have it yet or can't. What have you

706
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 2: learned so far about this newest version of EA Sports

707
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: College Football?

708
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 4: Just that it's it's just fun. Like it's not perfect

709
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 4: by any means, but it's fun. Like I cranked it up,

710
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: actually paid you know, six bucks second extra for an

711
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 4: EA play subscription for a month so I could get

712
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 4: early access, even though I had the game pre ordered

713
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 4: for the Friday, and I was able to play it

714
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 4: before I felt like I needed, you know, everything had happened.

715
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 4: So I played it before I left the state to

716
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 4: attend and kind of help organize my dad's funeral. And

717
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 4: so I played one game and my album Monitor Western Kentucky,

718
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 4: and I won forty two to six. But more than anything,

719
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 4: I just had fun, and it reminded me again of

720
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 4: what those games can be. Madden has been kind of

721
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 4: a dumpster fire for a while now. EA has been

722
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 4: sort of the villain of gaming for a long time,

723
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 4: at least one of them, and a lot of it

724
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 4: is due to monetization and the way that they try to,

725
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 4: you know, use micro transactions and create addictive tendencies, not

726
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 4: the kind that you would be sucked into, but like real,

727
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 4: straight up basically gambling tendencies. But this game is made

728
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 4: by a different crew, and again it's been eleven years,

729
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 4: and this is when you just couldn't screw up. You

730
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: had to find a way to do something and make

731
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: this work. There are gonna be some holes in it.

732
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: There's some gameplay things that probably need to be actually

733
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 4: definitely need to be tweaked. There's a glitch here and

734
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: there and stuff like that. Haven't gotten deep into the

735
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 4: dynasty mode. I'll probably have more to say in a

736
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 4: week or two, but like it just the most fun,

737
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 4: maybe the most fun that I've ever had. There have

738
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 4: been a couple of times in my life we're gaming.

739
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 4: Really I had a friend group that was really big

740
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 4: into it. Well. I had a couple of roommates when

741
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 4: I was living in South Carolina, and we played online

742
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 4: Dynasty together or offline Dynasties together, and we got together

743
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 4: and we would sit down and when it was time

744
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 4: to recruit after the year, we would sit down that

745
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 4: night and do it together. We couldn't play games without

746
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 4: someone being in the room because there were cheating accusations

747
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 4: that were having things like this, Like it was serious,

748
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 4: it was fun. There were sanctions if you got doing

749
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: something you shouldn't have been doing, all sorts of things,

750
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 4: and it was just it was cool and it is

751
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 4: now too it's exactly the same feeling, and I actually

752
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 4: purchased a dad station. Basically that's what it's called, which

753
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: is it's called a PlayStation portal. It allows you to

754
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 4: basically stream on a kind of a handheld device, but

755
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 4: it's a pretty big screen anywhere you know that's on

756
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 4: your Wi Fi or strong enough WiFi. It could attach

757
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 4: it to your own PS five. So basically it just

758
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 4: it's like a cloud and it brings it to you.

759
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 4: So I'm able to play it. Even though my daughter

760
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 4: controls the TV most of the time. At age three,

761
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 4: I just don't get that much time, so I'm able

762
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 4: to play it in bed here and there and stuff

763
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 4: like that. Now I've been pretty busy this week, so

764
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 4: i haven't had that much time. But it was worth

765
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 4: the weight eleven years. I saw Chris Fanini the athletics

766
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 4: say it was worth the weight. I agree, it really was.

767
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 4: It does seem to be a love letter to college

768
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 4: football as much so as the first edition in eleven years,

769
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 4: and a new crew of people that are only going

770
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 4: to learn from this can be now. I fear what

771
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 4: it'll be in three or four years when the tentacles

772
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 4: are fully in and then it becomes monetized STUF to

773
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 4: fall apart. But the good news is this one's good,

774
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: and so this is one I can keep and I

775
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 4: don't even have to worry necessarily about getting it in

776
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: the future. Yeah, you probably shouldn't get it based on

777
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 4: you're telling me you have an addictive tendency just the

778
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 4: dynasty and being able to simulate where you don't even

779
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 4: play the games, but you could just simulate your dynasty

780
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 4: and make all the decisions. Yeah, that's where you can

781
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 4: get lost in it.

782
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 2: That's what I know a lot of people that don't

783
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: even play the actual games. They just recruit and.

784
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 3: Kind of build the program and all that.

785
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: So what are the biggest differences between this and some

786
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: of the last one From the last one.

787
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's been eleven years, so I mean,

788
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 4: obviously there's a giant graph go up, upgrade, and now

789
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 4: you have multiple commentary teams where you've got you know,

790
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: Jesse Palmer and David Pollock and then you get Herbstreet

791
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 4: and Fowler for only the biggest games and things like that.

792
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: But you have a lot of the pregame stuff, all

793
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 4: the stadiums being rendered. I mean Western Kentucky we had

794
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 4: the full on deal with the skyline exactly as it

795
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 4: should have been. It looked like it was on campus

796
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: the way that it should have. They just have a

797
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 4: lot of They've put a lot of time into the

798
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 4: bells and whistles. Again, it's not perfect, but it is.

799
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 4: It's much better than any EA football game has been

800
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: in seven or eight years. I mean, by maybe even

801
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 4: longer than that. It's it's definitely one that people that

802
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 4: were like skeptical that they get this right. I think

803
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 4: they got this right, and I'm super excited about that.

804
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: Fantastic well EA Sports is out. Yeah, I don't know

805
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: what else to say. I mean, the one thing that

806
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: was cool I was talking to a buddy. I guess

807
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: you can kind of recreate conferences and all that he

808
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 2: was playing, and I put out a screenshot of a

809
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 2: text message exchange that we had where he's like, oh, yeah,

810
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: I'm playing with such and such school and he's like, yeah,

811
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 2: I put him back in the Pac twelve where they belong,

812
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, that's how it should be.

813
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: So it seems like there's a lot of cool features

814
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: in that game.

815
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 4: H Yeah, I definitely agree with that. I mean, consider

816
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 4: that if you don't like where college football is headed,

817
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 4: then you can fix it, so at least in your

818
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 4: own world, you can make it better. I don't know

819
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 4: that we have a problem with where college football is

820
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 4: headed in some ways, and then in other ways we might.

821
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 4: I know we're gonna be getting into that in the

822
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: next hour.

823
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 2: Oh we're gonna be getting into it plenty, because in

826
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: little NFL ESPN. They did their survey of gms and coaches.

827
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 2: Who are the top ten quarterbacks? Who got left out?

828
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 2: And frankly, who the heck was misranked? We'll discuss all

845
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,200

846
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: Football is definitely coming.

847
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, thankfully, Like I mean, we are. You know,

848
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 4: this summer has given us some interesting topics and some

849
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 4: things that have come along that maybe we're not used

850
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 4: to having. And of course we've lost things too, like

851
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 4: the hot dog eating content because the lack of Joey Chestnut,

852
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 4: even though that became a story in itself and maybe

853
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 4: gave us the same degree of content that it would

854
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 4: have if Joey Chestnut had competed and dominated like we

855
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 4: all know. But look, man, if you've listened to this

856
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 4: show or listening to the two of us through the years,

857
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 4: you know football is where the bread is buttered in

858
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 4: this time slot. So bring it on, baby.

859
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 3: Bring it on.

860
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 2: SEC Media Days to me is the unofficial start of

861
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 2: college football.

862
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 3: Chris Plank will join us in just a few minutes.

863
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: He was in Dallas all week covering his Oklahoma Sooners

864
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: and the other now fifteen teams in the SEC.

865
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 3: That said, Jason, let's go to the NFL.

866
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 2: Obviously, training camps are opening, and you know, this is

867
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: kind of that time of the summer.

868
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 3: We get all the anonymous GM.

869
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: Surveys, all of this, all of that, and earlier this

870
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 2: week we did get the twenty twenty four ESPN quarterback rankings,

871
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 2: and this is obviously via ESPN all their insiders survey

872
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: league executives, coaches and scouts to rank the top ten players.

873
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 3: They actually did it for each position.

874
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: But you know, if you want to break down their

875
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 2: list of guards and outside linebackers, you know, maybe we

876
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 2: do that in our free time. But we'll focus on

877
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks today. And I'm curious for your perspective on

878
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 2: the list that they came up with. Again, this is

879
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: an anonymous survey of scouts, front office people, et cetera.

880
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: As far as who is the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

881
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 2: Number one probably not a surprise, Patrick Mahomes number two.

882
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: Maybe it is Joe Burrow number three, Josh Allen, number four,

883
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson number five, Matthew Stafford number six, Justin Herbert

884
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 2: number seven, c J. Stroud number eight, Aaron Rodgers number nine,

885
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 2: Jared Goff number ten, Dak Prescott. Those just missing the

886
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 2: list Brock Perdy, Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts to a tongue

887
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 2: of Iola, Kirk Cousins and Trevor Lawrence Jason. When I

888
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 2: tell you that list, When I give you that list,

889
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 2: what is the first thing that stands out about ESPN's

890
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 2: quarterback rankings?

891
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 4: Hmmm, I think, I mean, I think the first two

892
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 4: are fine. I think the I mean the first like

893
00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 4: I was just kind of looking through it. I'm like,

894
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 4: I can understand why you would go in certain directions.

895
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 4: Maybe the first one that stands out to me maybe

896
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 4: around six, Justin Herbert being six. Then you get Stroud, Rogers,

897
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 4: GoF Prescott obviously, Dak. We can have that discussion. Aaron

898
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 4: Rodgers at his age, coming off the injury, He's still

899
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 4: the eighth best quarterback in the league. I'm not positive

900
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 4: about that, but I'm still like, I feel like, for

901
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 4: Justin Herbert, this gotta be a proven year. And also

902
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 4: because Stafford's won a championship and the Rams had a

903
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 4: pretty good year and they're gonna have another good year.

904
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 4: I think he's accomplished more than Josh Allen and Lamar

905
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 4: Jackson both and still playing pretty solid football. But it's

906
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 4: beneath both of those guys. So it's not really it's

907
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 4: what are you basing this on? Are you basing this

908
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 4: on what's been accomplished or just pure talent, Because in

909
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 4: terms of pure talent at this stage, at his age,

910
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 4: I could see why you would go with Allen and

911
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 4: Jackson there, But at the same time, I could also

912
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: see a couple of guys having a problem with where

913
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 4: they are. And I still see CJ. Stroud and say

914
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 4: Sky's the limit. He'll be in the top four next year.

915
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 3: I know you love CJ. Stroud. Let's get to a

916
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: few things.

917
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 2: First of all, you said you know, no problem with

918
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 2: the top two. I would generally agree, But I think

919
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 2: this goes back to last time we did a show together.

920
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 3: Two weeks ago.

921
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 2: We did do a segment on if you're starting a franchise,

922
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 2: who do you take behind Patrick Mahomes? Because it doesn't

923
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 2: feel like there's an obvious number two. So I just

924
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 2: bring it up because it does kind of speak to me.

925
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because Mahomes has won at such a high level,

926
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 2: but it's just like got Lee, Like you get past

927
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 2: number one, you could kind of punch holes in everybody's arguments.

928
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 2: From Joe Burrow obviously, two of his four seasons have

929
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 2: ended in injury and even in the offseason. Kind of

930
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: had his problem a few years ago. Josh Allen obviously

931
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: really no real marquee wins on his resume. Lamar Jackson

932
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: two MVPs but come up short in the playoffs. I

933
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: think that's what kind of stands out to be. First,

934
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 2: let me let me make this argument. I do think

935
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson is a little bit low and I get

936
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 2: the argument of you know, never been to Super Bowl

937
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: all that, but one, he has won two MVPs in

938
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 2: two years in this league. He has been deemed the

939
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: best player in the league. I go back to what

940
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 2: I've said all along about that AFC Championship game last season.

941
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: I don't blame him so much as Todd Munkin, who

942
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 2: for some reason just completely abandoned the run. And what's

943
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 2: crazy about that AFC Championship game, they were still very

944
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 2: much in the game, basically all game long, despite everything

945
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 2: that happened. Fumble on the goal line, bad play calling, whatever.

946
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 2: So I don't think because he hasn't been able to

947
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: get past Mahomes, we should punish him since really no

948
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 2: one outside of Joe Burrow has been able to get

949
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 2: past Mahomes. So I will say I love watching Josh

950
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 2: Allen play, I really do. But it's the same thing

951
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 2: with Josh Allen that it is with the Bills, and

952
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: maybe they're synonymous. I feel like they both the team

953
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: and the individual, get way too much credit for not

954
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: enough production in the games that matter on the field.

955
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 3: Am I crazy saying that, Jace, No, And I think you're.

956
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 4: Right by the way. I do think that Lamar Jackson

957
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 4: deserves to be higher. It's just kind of hard because

958
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 4: you know what Josh Allen has looked like, what he's

959
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 4: been capable of and all this, but what he's done

960
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 4: in the postseason. I think that winning two MVPs should

961
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 4: put you above Josh Allen at this stage. If Allan

962
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 4: had played in the Super Bowl, we might have a

963
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 4: different discussion. That's why Joe Burrow can be number two

964
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 4: and you're okay with it. But even if Lamar was too,

965
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 4: I don't think you could really greatly argue with that.

966
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 4: At this point, I'm gonna mention one other thing here.

967
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 4: I think you could take a couple of names off

968
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 4: this list, sure, and put Jalen Hurts on it.

969
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 3: I think there's a few.

970
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's a few others too, but

971
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 4: Hurts is the first one. I'm just like, do I

972
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 4: really think if you gave me one of the two

973
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 4: and said go win a game, that I wouldn't take

974
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts over Dak. I mean, this is a guy

975
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 4: that played in the Super Bowl and out played Patrick

976
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 4: Mahomes just a year ago. Like they had a step

977
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 4: back and he didn't play as well. But they also

978
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 4: lost their offensive coordinator, which I told you was going

979
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 4: to be a problem for them, and they so they

980
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 4: did take a step back. But Jalen Hurts has basically

981
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 4: spent his entire career proving people wrong. And I look

982
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 4: at that guy and his leadership qualities and how much

983
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 4: it seems like everybody likes playing around him and all this,

984
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 4: and it's just nothing against Dak. But what exactly has

985
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 4: Dak done?

986
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 2: So let's go to Dak for a second, because to me,

987
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: I just I don't really understand his I'll just be honest,

988
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: I just don't really understand his inclusion on the list.

989
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 2: Let me just give you names, and I want you

990
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 2: to tell me who you would take, Dak or the

991
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 2: person so obviously Jalen Hurts, you would take Jalen Hurts.

992
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 2: I think that kind of goes without saying Rock Party.

993
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 2: Let me ask you straight up, Rock Purty or Dak Prescott,

994
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 2: because I take I'll just say this, you could think

995
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: about it. I would take Rock Party. I know they

996
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 2: both have have had in their careers elite talent around them.

997
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 2: But at the same time, Rock Party has been pretty

998
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 2: good in these big games. Dak largely hasn't been. And

999
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 2: I just think, like you know, you could criticize, criticize, criticize,

1000
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 2: but kind of similar story. Both surrounded by a lot

1001
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: of talent, and Party's been able to win more games

1002
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: that matter than Dak has.

1003
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that's right. I mean he's

1004
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 4: had I mean, they both had a good bit of

1005
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 4: talent around him. I do think that having Kyle Shanahan

1006
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 4: and some of those things, it's a nice safety blanket

1007
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 4: to have a lot of what they have had in

1008
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 4: San Francisco. I mean in terms of pure talent, you

1009
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 4: want Dak Prescott. Yeah, in terms of clutch in moments

1010
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 4: where it really matters, or somebody that you trust in

1011
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 4: big situations. Perty I think has succeeded more than Dak,

1012
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 4: But I think that one's pretty close. I still think.

1013
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 4: I think that Dak sometimes takes an unfair rap and

1014
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 4: I think a lot of that is because he plays

1015
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 4: in Dallas.

1016
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: What about Dak or Jordan Love based off of I

1017
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: know it's a small sample size, but Jordan Love did

1018
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: look pretty dark good towards the end of last year,

1019
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 2: and I know we don't want to be I know

1020
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 2: we don't want to base this list off of one game,

1021
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 2: but they did play head to head of the playoffs

1022
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 2: last year, and we didn't know how that goes.

1023
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 4: You're right. He also had a bad interception at the

1024
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 4: end of that game, which is something Dak has done

1025
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 4: at times where he's tried to make something happen in

1026
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 4: a playoff games. It's very early. I think Jordan Love's

1027
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 4: stealing is higher. So I'll take Jordan.

1028
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 3: Love, all right. Let me ask you this.

1029
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 2: Maybe this is controversial because I know that he is

1030
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: coming off a very disappointed season where he did regress.

1031
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 2: Are you taking Dak over to Like, if you're starting

1032
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: a team today, are you taking Dak or Trevor Lawrence.

1033
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm probably taking Trevor Lawrence. I know he wasn't good

1034
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 3: last year.

1035
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 4: I don't know about that. I'm still that one. I

1036
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 4: don't have an answer to that. I'm gonna leave that

1037
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 4: incomplete on the sheet.

1038
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 3: Well incomplete. The point I'm trying to make, I guess

1039
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 3: is that I don't know.

1040
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 2: I just I don't buying Dak, and I just I

1041
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 2: find him weirdly high on I don't really frankly understand

1042
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: why he is on this list at all.

1043
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 3: Stafford.

1044
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 2: I will say this Stafford's an interesting one because it

1045
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: feels high. Stafford, by the way, at number five, behind

1046
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 2: only Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. Stafford

1047
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 2: feels high. But I don't really know who. Like, Like,

1048
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 2: if you just said Torres, is Matt Stafford a top

1049
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: five quarterback in the NFL? I don't think I would

1050
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 2: say yes off the top of my head. But I

1051
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 2: don't know who you can put ahead of him. Justin

1052
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 2: Herbert obviously has zero postseason success.

1053
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 3: CJ.

1054
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 4: Stroud.

1055
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: I know the talent's there, But I mean, you know,

1056
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to say this as a negative, but

1057
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 2: you know they were a botched fourth down play against Indianapolis.

1058
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 2: He doesn't even make the playoffs last year, and again

1059
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 2: still doesn't take away from what he did as a

1060
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 2: rookie and how good he was, but whatever, And so

1061
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just Stafford's just an interesting one.

1062
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 2: Is he kind of doesn't fit into kind of a

1063
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 2: clean box of one of these younger guys on the rise.

1064
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 3: Whatever.

1065
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: But he does have that Super Bowl, he does have

1066
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 2: a playoff appearance last year. He obviously has a very

1067
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 2: good team this year in Los Angeles. I just find

1068
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 2: him interesting because I don't think he fits in a

1069
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: comfortable box. I wouldn't have him in my head as

1070
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 2: a top five quarterback, but I don't know who you

1071
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 2: could put ahead of him.

1072
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 4: I think it's just again, he's got like top five

1073
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 4: all Tom marm talent in terms of the way he

1074
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 4: throws the ball and when things are right with the Rams,

1075
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 4: he had another good year last year and you know

1076
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 4: they got that was a team that kind of most

1077
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 4: people slept on and they showed up. And now they've

1078
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 4: added another weapon or two. If he comes back and

1079
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 4: does that again, I could still see him being there

1080
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 4: because the Rams are going to be formidable in the

1081
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 4: NFC as a whole, like they're gonna be They're gonna

1082
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 4: be a problem for a lot of teams this year.

1083
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 4: But you're right, he doesn't neatly fit in any of

1084
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 4: these boxes. Like he definitely isn't a young guy. He's

1085
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 4: not like completely out the pasture either. But you look

1086
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 4: at the guys beneath him on this list, guys like

1087
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 4: Herbert Stroud might even throw Deck in that list, or sorry,

1088
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 4: Jared Goff in that list. He's a little older, but

1089
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 4: not quite and you could you could make arguments for

1090
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 4: all of them potentially above Stafford. I think Stafford's just

1091
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 4: more accomplished than everybody outside Aaron Rodgers that's beneath him,

1092
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 4: and I think that might be why you put him there.

1093
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 4: He's won a super Bowl, He's led a team to

1094
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl on a clutch drive with Cooper cup

1095
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 4: who still plays there. And then you've got justin Herbert

1096
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 4: who's disappointed in the playoffs. C J. Stroud who's just

1097
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 4: going into his second year, Goff, who you know he

1098
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 4: had played in the Super Bowl. Didn't go very well

1099
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 4: for him there because of the Patriots defense, but the

1100
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 4: Lions are pretty much loaded, so I think sometimes he

1101
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 4: gets a demerit because of that, even though he doesn't

1102
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 4: deserve it. So I think that's really what it is.

1103
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 4: It's like, who are you putting above him based on

1104
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 4: both accomplishment and maybe lack thereof for some of these

1105
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:21,640

1126
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 8: The Houston Astros are one out away from being alone

1127

1129
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 8: bottom of the ninth. For the Mariners, this would be

1130
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 8: their fifth straight loss. This would put them a game

1131

1199
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 9: a boring week and not really much that we learned

1200
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 9: about anybody in this past week.

1201
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 4: It was.

1202
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,439
Speaker 9: It was such a boring week that nobody noticed until

1203
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 9: four days that happened an old fine bomb and Lane

1204
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 9: Kitten had a dust up. So that was the That

1205
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 9: was the fun of of of SEC media days of

1206
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 9: Mississippi State guy talk trash. Let's see, we had Harold

1208
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 9: that was it.

1209
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 3: That was the excitement. Everybody was on their best behavior. Unfortunately,

1210
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 3: Kirby Smart also finding players. Let's not forget that, hey

1211
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 3: allegedly allegedly he Yeah, no, helda hold on Kirby finding

1212
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 3: the collective is fining.

1213
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: I know he danced around that one really well. Yeah,

1214
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure he has nothing to do with it, and

1215
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 2: he probably just got the memo this week.

1216
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 3: Hey real quick.

1217
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 2: Let let's start with your Oklahoma sooners. Not from the

1218
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 2: micro view of the season, but the three of us

1219
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 2: have been asking, well the two of us, Jason and

1220
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 2: I have been asking you about the transition, the move

1221
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 2: to the SEC for three off seasons now dating back

1222
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 2: to this event three years ago, we're here and in

1223
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 2: your community, Like, one, how much excitement is there at Oklahoma?

1224
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 2: But two was how much fun was it just for

1225
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 2: you to be there this week knowing that three years like, yeah,

1226
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 2: maybe nothing too exciting happened, but at the same time,

1227
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 2: three years of talk is here and you, my friend,

1228
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,440

1230
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 2: and it is here for Texas and Oklahoma.

1231
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty exciting on that front.

1232
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 9: You know, it's media days for the those that aren't

1233
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 9: necessarily overly familiar, nor should you be, but they're usually

1234
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 9: an opportunity where you have a handful of radio stations

1235
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 9: that do their shows live, podcasts, dreams, whatever, and then

1236
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 9: they'll have all the writers and the beat writers and

1237
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 9: the coaches will do their press conference, and then they'll

1238
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 9: do another press conference, and there's like eight different rooms

1239
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 9: for Fox and ESPN to do their thing and XIMS.

1240
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 3: It's really cool.

1241
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,479
Speaker 9: I don't think I've ever been part of an event

1242
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 9: and that's just a media day that had close to

1243
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 9: fifty radio stations there that were doing live shows.

1244
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 3: It was it was incredible. Man, they say it means more.

1245
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 9: It's another level of excitement and in the Oklahoma community, obviously.

1246
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 3: It's been three years in the waiting, was supposed to

1247
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 3: be four.

1248
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 9: This wasn't supposed to be officially OU in Texas and

1249
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 9: the SEC until twenty five. But you know, you work

1250
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 9: with whatever the calendar gives you, and it might be

1251
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 9: a year sooner for OU football and might be a

1252
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 9: little bit of had a schedule for them, but I

1253
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 9: think they're pretty excited about it. The preseason media poll

1254
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 9: had them eighth. I kind of thought that's where they

1255
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 9: would be. Nobody respects the big twelve an SEC country,

1256
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 9: and that's fine. But I'll tell you what, it's gonna

1257
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 9: be fun. It's a whole new world, and it's a

1258
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 9: whole new set of opponents, road venues, traditions. It was

1259
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 9: It was a it wasn't necessarily an eye opener. It

1260
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 9: was a it was a verification of what you're stepping

1261
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 9: into and just the passion and energy that surrounds it.

1262
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 4: Which guy do you think has more on his shoulders

1263
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 4: entering the fall, Stee Sarkisian or Kailin de boor.

1264
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 9: Probably sark just because they're supposed to be good. Now

1265
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 9: they're not supposed to be Texas is back, right, They're

1266
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 9: supposed to be well, Texas is here, and so for

1267
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 9: years and years and years, that's kind of been the push.

1268
01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 9: Add to it, I think Texas has I don't saying

1269
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 9: easy schedule. They got a big show down with Georgia

1270
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 9: and obviously the yearly battled Oklahoma and you have Texas

1271
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 9: a and into that mix. We'll see what they'll be

1272
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 9: in year one. I don't know how good they'll be

1273
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 9: in year one, but it's a long way to say. Yeah,

1274
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 9: there's gonna be a lot on Kaylen to Boor, but

1275
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 9: I've been really impressed, Jason with what Kaylen a board did. Listen,

1276
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 9: the dude is not necessarily mister electric up to to

1277
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 9: day as right, He's he's he's got a little saving

1278
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 9: in him on that front, but he has really opened

1279
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 9: up that program. He talks to media members, he hasn't

1280
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 9: shut it down. He's more open with fans. Kaylen de

1281
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 9: Bor has done one of those things that hasn't been

1282
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 9: done in Alabama in quite a while, and he's kind

1283
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 9: of opened up the show a little bit. Sart's gotta

1284
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 9: win right. I mean this is now all right. You

1285
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 9: went to the fourteen playoff. That's now the expectation year

1286
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 9: and in year out, so you can't afford to backslide.

1287
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 9: And let's face it, I don't know, they're really good.

1288
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 9: I mean Texas is really good. They got to go

1289
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 9: to Michigan. It's a different Michigan team. We mentioned Georgia

1290
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 9: and Oklahoma on their schedule, and I don't know why

1291
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 9: people are just looking past it. Jason, you know this,

1292
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 9: they lost a lot. Quinn Ewers came back, but they

1293
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 9: lost their three best receivers, including their tight endit Davian Sanders.

1294
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 9: They lost their three best defensive players, and it's almost

1295
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 9: as if we've just kind.

1296
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 3: Of swept that aside.

1297
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 9: So I feel like there's always gonna be a lot

1298
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 9: on both, but just now that you feel like they're

1299
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 9: supposed to have arrived, I feel like it's a lot

1300
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 9: to be good right away.

1301
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, they were.

1302
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 9: Picked to finish second and then dust playing the SEC

1303
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 9: championship game in the preseason poll, So to me, that

1304
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 9: puts a lot on Texas.

1305
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1306
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 2: The other thing with Texas too, I mean they to

1307
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 2: their credit. Listen, you know, you win games how you can,

1308
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 2: but three point overtime win against Kansas State three point

1309
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 2: overtime or not overtime regulation went over a bad TCU

1310
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 2: team last year. It's not like they blew everybody out

1311
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 2: of the water in the Big Twelve in that final season,

1312
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 2: and of course it's easy to forget sure they lost

1313
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 2: to the Sooners as well. Really quickly, bigger picture, you know,

1314
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how many calls you or whatever on

1315
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 2: your show down there in Oklahoma, but just bigger picture,

1316
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 2: do you think the casual or average college football fan

1317
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 2: really has a full concept of how different this sport

1318
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 2: is gonna be this year? Because you know, it sounds crazy,

1319
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 2: but you know, a Texas and Oklahoma and Ole Miss whoever,

1320
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 2: you could go nine and three and still get into

1321
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 2: this playoff. And yeah, it's just I don't fully think

1322
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 2: that most fans fully understand how different this thing is

1323
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 2: gonna be. How you're gonna everyone's gonna overreact after losses,

1324
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 2: but it's just gonna be so different this year with

1325
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 2: this twelve team playoff.

1326
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I don't know if anyone really has I

1327
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 9: don't even know if we're prepared for how different it's

1328
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 9: gonna feel when you talk about like an Oregon Ohio

1329
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 9: State game and instead of a wildly exciting non conference game,

1330
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 9: you're like, oh, that's a conference game. Right when Oklahoma

1331
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 9: plays Alabama later this season, oh, it's a conference games.

1332
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 9: So I think there is a lot of new that

1333
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 9: maybe we're not really prepared for now. I mean, I

1334
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 9: agree with you. I think I think that some of

1335
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 9: the favorite fights we're gonna have is are are are

1336
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 9: we just saying the top four seeds are gonna be

1337
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 9: the four conference champions?

1338
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 3: I mean, is that it?

1339
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,479
Speaker 9: Or is there going to be a debate about whether

1340
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 9: or not someone else belongs in that top four? And

1341
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 9: then if it's just going to be the four conference champs,

1342
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 9: which I believe it is, then that battle between eight

1343
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 9: and nine is gonna be huge because if you're the

1344
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 9: eighth seed, you get a home playoff game. If you're

1345
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 9: nine through twelve, you're going on the road. And then, oh,

1346
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 9: by the way, what's going to differentiate getting in at

1347
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 9: eleven and twelve and being left out at thirteen and fourteen?

1348
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:43,479
Speaker 9: You could have, you know, a three loss SEC team

1349
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 9: that is in over a one loss Big twelve or

1350
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 9: AC seed team and everyone's gonna lose their mind, but

1351
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 9: that's just going to be the way that it's viewed now.

1352
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 9: So Yeah, I think it's a great point. Aaron and

1353
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 9: I've talked about it a lot. I don't really know

1354
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 9: if we're truly ready. Well, we're for it, but I

1355
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 9: don't know if we truly understand just how wildly different

1356
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 9: this is going to be in twenty twenty four.

1357
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 3: It's all new.

1358
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 4: Bobby Patrino at Arkansas, Sam Pittman just say he said

1359
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 4: this at Media Days, Chris, he said, I just want

1360
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 4: to win. How did that work for Jimbo Fisher.

1361
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1362
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 4: Like, I'm not not suggesting that Bobby Petrino doesn't understand offense,

1363
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 4: far be it from me to say that, But is

1364
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 4: this the move if you want to win? I know

1365
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 4: you're bringing them back to Arkansas, but there's a lot

1366
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 4: of controversy there, but more than anything in recent years,

1367
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 4: I don't think that that's necessarily translated to wins.

1368
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, Bobby Patrino seems to be living a lot on

1369
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 9: what he did in Arkansas Round one, and then even

1370
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 9: prior to that, his offensive, his offensive coordinator stops.

1371
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 3: It's just it's wild to me that you know, he

1372
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 3: got fired at Louisville.

1373
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 9: I mean, he won at Louisville, took go at Atlanta,

1374
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 9: and then the Hogs had one of the most embarrassing

1375
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 9: firings you could possibly have in Arkansas, and then when

1376
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 9: he went back to Louvillie he got fired again. He

1377
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 9: just it didn't work. It worked at Missouri State, right,

1378
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 9: but it didn't work at Texas A and M. Now,

1379
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 9: I'm sure there are some Aggie fans that would push

1380
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 9: back and say the injuries kind of Wegman getting hurt

1381
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 9: last year early in the season really hurt in Texas

1382
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 9: A and M. But it was it was wild Jason

1383
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 9: because I think Sam Pittman, I don't know if he's

1384
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 9: on the hottest seat, but it's definitely up there, right,

1385
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 9: And he was a guy you couldn't help but root

1386
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 9: for it. You know, he's an ole offensive line coach.

1387
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 9: He you know, talks about after win he wants to

1388
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 9: go have a cold beer. But it's just you don't

1389
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 9: know if that's the right move. Is he a good

1390
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 9: offensive line coach? Absolutely? Did he have a good run,

1391
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 9: you bet, But they just let kJ Jefferson get away

1392
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 9: and go to UCF and let Gus Maleson have him,

1393
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 9: which is almost unfair, I think. And then you go

1394
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 9: when you turn back to a guy whose exit was

1395
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,799
Speaker 9: as disgraceful as anyone. So to me, it's the ultimate

1396
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 9: hail Mary that I don't even think has a chance

1397
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 9: to work. But he exuded confidence. They had three players

1398
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 9: they sent there, including the transferred quarterback in from Boise State.

1399
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 3: That surprised me. They said all the right things, but

1400
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1401
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 9: I don't know if that's the move I'm making, Jason,

1402
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 9: if my job's on the line is to go get

1403
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:21,879
Speaker 9: Bobby Patrino.

1404
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 2: By the way, I was in Arkansas the night that

1405
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 2: he was introduced. I called into your radio show that week, Plank.

1406
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 2: But I was at Arkansas Duke when they announced Bobby Patrino,

1407
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 2: and that fan base loves Bobby Patrino more than Sam Pittman.

1408
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 2: That's the other thing, is like true, yeah, yeah, exactly.

1409
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 4: You might be bringing in your own replacement.

1410
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 3: That's how I'd saying you start one in three.

1411
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 2: I think the way the schedule breaks like two and

1412
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 2: three is very much in play, like we could be

1413
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 2: seeing interim head coach Bobby Patrino. Last one for me

1414
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 2: playing we just mentioned fourteen twelve team college football playoff.

1415
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 2: You're gonna be able to get in potentially as a

1416
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,719
Speaker 2: nine to three team. Is there a team in the SEC,

1417
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 2: as you said, Georgia picked first, Texas second, Alabama third.

1418
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 2: Is there a team that's either off the radar or

1419
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 2: right on the cuss that you expect to be better

1420
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 2: than everybody else?

1421
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, obviously, my natural instincts would tell me Oklahoma,

1422
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 9: but I'll go ahead and I'll say that for my

1423
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 9: local show.

1424
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 3: How's that?

1425
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 9: But I think Oklahoma's going to be a lot better

1426
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 9: than people are giving them credit for. And I think

1427
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 9: the other team, I mean, Jason, you're near and dear

1428
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 9: to it, but I think Tennessee might be a little

1429
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,560
Speaker 9: bit better than people are giving them credit for. And

1430
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 9: now were were they like six or seventh in the

1431
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 9: preseason poll, but they've got the five story Nico, IAmA,

1432
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 9: yayava am I close.

1433
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 3: I just call them Nico.

1434
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 9: And I think that's a wild game to open SEC

1435
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 9: play for Oklahoma Tennessee. And I think both of those

1436
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 9: teams are gonna have good seasons. But you know, they Tennessee,

1437
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 9: they they're kind of calling it somewhat of a rebuilding year,

1438
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 9: and I think Oklahoma is that same category. But I

1439
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 9: think Tennessee can be better than people are giving them

1440
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 9: credit for. I'm not real big on LSU, and I

1441
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 9: saw how high they were, I would probably have had

1442
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 9: Tennessee a little bit higher. But everyone seems to be

1443
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 9: high on LSU and Missouri. I'm Missouri has maybe the

1444
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 9: best receiver in the country and Luther Burden, and I

1445
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 9: like their quarterback a lot. But I'm telling you what

1446
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 9: I think. I think Tennessee's got a chance to be really,

1447
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 9: really good this year. And you're right, it might be

1448
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 9: one of those seasons where they go into their final

1449
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 9: week and they're eight and three or maybe like nine

1450
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 9: to two, and they win a game and they're in

1451
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 9: the playoffs, and you'll look at like, well, that's you know,

1452
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 9: a nine and three season, or even to a certain

1453
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 9: extent of tenant two isn't necessarily elite, but it's enough

1454
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 9: to give you a shot. And I just I really

1455
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 9: like what Josh Hipel has done. That's the maybe some

1456
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,560
Speaker 9: sooner Homerism coming out, but he's brought Joey Hosley in,

1457
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 9: who's become an absolute rock star as an offensive coordinator.

1458
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 9: So I think I think Tennessee's got a chance to

1459
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 9: be a lot better than some are trying to give

1460
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 9: them credit for.

1461
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: Right now.

1462
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 3: The year they were supposed to have last year might

1463
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 3: end up being the year they're gonna have this year.

1464
01:11:58,160 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they dealt with injuries last year and all.

1465
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 4: So I mean, I think you realized how valuable Hendon

1466
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 4: Hooker was.

1467
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Milton, we thought he was supposed to be right.

1468
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 3: They could throw the ball far though, see another highlight of.

1469
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 4: That he can definitely he could definitely throw the ball

1470
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 4: far now accurate and at times he looked pretty accurate.

1471
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think their their success and or failure

1472
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 4: Plank is going to come down to what Nico can

1473
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 4: do and if he lives up to look even Saban

1474
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 4: said some really nice stuff about him this week and

1475
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 4: about his ability, So I think I think that's probably

1476
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 4: going to have to tell the story there. It's gonna

1477
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 4: be fun either way. I mean, the SEC is going

1478
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 4: to be absolutely insane this year. LSU. They burned me

1479
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 4: last year, Plank, I had him in the four, I

1480
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 4: had them in the College Football Playoff and they burned me.

1481
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 4: So they will not be getting my vote again this year.

1482
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 9: Well, and the crazy thing about LSU is I thought

1483
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 9: last year was going to be the year. I'm with you,

1484
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 9: and their defense just wasn't it. And what was interesting

1485
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 9: is having known a couple of people that were around

1486
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 9: that staff, coached on that staff, they'd always kind of

1487
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 9: pointed to that year being the year where they felt

1488
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 9: like they could make gigantic leaps defensively. So for me,

1489
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 9: I'm like, well, if that was the year where you

1490
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,600
Speaker 9: were supposed to be better and that happened, you know,

1491
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 9: I don't know what to expect now whenever you're trying

1492
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,839
Speaker 9: to take Carold Perkins and move him back inside at linebacker,

1493
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 9: where I don't think he's as good as he is

1494
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 9: as an edge rusher. You brought into a new defensive coordinator,

1495
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 9: you know, nuss Meyer. You've got a guy that's been

1496
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 9: there already for three years, which is unique, right to

1497
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 9: have a guy three years at.

1498
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 3: A school and not transfer when he didn't get a

1499
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 3: chance to start. So I'm with you. I'm not real

1500
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 3: big on LSU this year.

1501
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 9: I just I know that's gonna come back and bite

1502
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 9: me whenever we go down there, whenever Oklahoma goes down

1503
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 9: there Thanksgiving. He's got to play a night game probably,

1504
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 9: and they're like nine and one at that point. But

1505
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 9: I just I'm not as big on them as I

1506
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 9: am Tennessee. I really really like the makeup of the

1507
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 9: Balls this year, really like the makeup with the Sooners,

1508
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 9: and you know, it's kind of it hurts say a

1509
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 9: little bit, boys, but I like to make up of

1510
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 9: Texas too. I just talked about how they gave up

1511
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 9: lost a lot, I should say, in the in the

1512
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 9: NFL Draft, which hadn't necessarily been the case for them

1513
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 9: the last ten to fifteen years. But they've recruited well,

1514
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 9: and I think those young guys coming in are gonna

1515
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 9: make him very good.

1516
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 3: He is Chris Plank.

1517
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 2: He can hear him every Sunday night at eleven pm

1520
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 9: I'm glad you guys had me on because every college

1521
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,960

Speaker 8: training yesterday. It's Bears versus Texans in the Hall of

1552
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:06,600
Speaker 8: Fame exhibition August first. Every other NFL team starts the

1553
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 8: preseason schedule at least a week later. There were a

1554
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 8: couple notes today, and by the way, the only unsigned

1555
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 8: players apparently from this year's draft class are Vikings linebacker

1556
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 8: Dallas Turner and Bengals offensive Tackleamarius Mims, so those are

1557
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:22,719
Speaker 8: taken care of largely. The Saints signed wide receiver Rashid

1558
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 8: Shaheed to a one year extension. He was the league's

1559
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,839
Speaker 8: All Pro punt returner last season, and linebacker Shaq Barrett

1560
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 8: retired from the NFL today after nine seasons. He was

1561
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 8: cut by Tampa Bay this offseason. A loss for the

1562
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 8: US Women's Olympic basketball team tonight, and nearly a loss,

1563
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 8: it would have been a mammoth upset for the US men.

1564
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 8: First off, the ladies and the sendoff game in Phoenix

1565
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 8: lost to a team of WNBA Stars one seventeen to

1566
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 8: one oh nine, despite thirty one points from Team USA's

1567
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 8: Brianna Stewart and Asia Wilson had twenty two points. But

1568
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,799
Speaker 8: three years ago, in the sendoff game to the Tokyo Games,

1569
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 8: it was similar situation. The US women lost the game.

1570
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 8: MVP was Erika Gunbowale, not on the US squad. Same

1571
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 8: thing happened tonight. Infect tonight, she had thirty four points

1572
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 8: all in the second half. From three point range, she

1573
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 8: was eight of thirteen. She also finished with six assists

1574
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 8: and no turnovers. And how did the rookies do in

1575
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:23,719
Speaker 8: the win? Angel reached twelve points eleven rebounds. Caitlin Clark

1576
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 8: from three point range was zero for seven, but she

1577
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 8: had ten assists and is very much looking forward to

1578
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 8: the time off. She even tweeted that tonight after the game.

1579
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 8: The WNBA is off for about a month now. FS

1580
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,480
Speaker 8: one will have the next and last US Women's exhibition

1581
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 8: Tuesday on FS one against Germany. The US men on

1582
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 8: Monday afternoon will be playing Germany on Fox TV, the

1583
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 8: last of their tune up games. Today, they won by

1584
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 8: a point on Fox The US men having their first

1585
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 8: of the two exhibitions they'll have in London. Now the

1586
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 8: American men are four and oh in these exhibitions, all

1587
01:17:58,040 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 8: without Kevin Durant so far.

1588
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 3: He did finally.

1589
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 8: Practice with Team USA yesterday. He'd been out for about

1590
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 8: two weeks with a strain CAF. The Americans Olympic tournament

1591
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 8: itself starts a week from Sunday, already against Serbia, who

1592
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 8: they won in an beat in an exhibition this past week.

1593
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 8: The US men, though, were facing South Sudan today and

1594
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 8: the Americans were favored by over forty points, and they'll

1595
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 8: be playing South Sudan again in the Olympics. They're in

1596
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 8: their group July thirty. First, the US trailed in the

1597
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 8: final seconds, but Lebron James with a late layup, helped

1598
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,519
Speaker 8: him win the game one oh one to one hundred.

1599
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 8: Lebron twenty five points in twenty three minutes on the court.

1600
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 8: He had seven assists four turnovers. The Americans were down

1601
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 8: sixteen late in the first half. In fact, trailed by

1602
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 8: fifteen points for most of the second quarter. From three

1603
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 8: point range, staph and company started one of thirteen. Turnovers

1604
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 8: had been a problem for the US in these exhibitions.

1605
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 8: As you might guess, they don't play together as a group,

1606
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 8: unlike a lot of the other countries. The US had

1607
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 8: nine turnovers just the first half today. But off the bench,

1608
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 8: Anthony Davis was good again fifteen points, eleven rebounds. The

1609
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 8: starting center Joel Embiid fourteen points in eighteen minutes, five

1610
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 8: of six from the floor. He had not had good

1611
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 8: games up to this. Anthony Edwards from three point range

1612
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 8: today was one for seven eleven points. And you mentioned

1613
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 8: Derek White was added to this team for Kawhi Leonard.

1614
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 8: Five assists and eleven minutes off the bench for White.

1615
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 8: The US led eight nothing after the first two and

1616
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 8: a half minutes. They probably thought this is a blowout.

1617
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:33,759
Speaker 8: In fact, they probably thought when it was about fifteen

1618
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 8: to fifteen first quarter, Oh, that's cute. The new country,

1619
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 8: the team that's finally making the Olympics for the first time.

1620
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 8: You know they're gonna be able to tell their grandchildren

1621
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 8: that they were ahead in a game. No, they were great,

1622
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 8: they were through three quarters. Legitimately, no fluke could to

1623
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 8: win this game. They were the better team. In fact,

1624
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 8: the first half South suit and shot about sixty percent

1625
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 8: from the floor. Late first half, the score was fifty

1626
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 8: eight to forty two, and finally the US tied it

1627
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 8: up late third quarter. The Americans led with about a

1628
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 8: minute and a half to go in the game ninety

1629
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 8: nine to ninety two, but then South Sudan went on

1630
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 8: an eight zero run to take the lead with twenty

1631
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 8: seconds left. That Lebron driving lay up. The game winner

1632
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 8: came with eight seconds to go and after a timeout,

1633
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 8: South Sudan missed three shots at the end against the

1634
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 8: defense of Anthony Davis and Anthony Edwards.

1635
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Steve de Seger.

1650

1651
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 2: will be recapping a busy day in sports. I believe

1652
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 2: he'll be talking a little college football, just like we

1653
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,519
Speaker 2: did with our buddy Brad Powers. Mark Medina will join

1654
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 2: us Bernie Fratto in just a few minutes. One quick

1655
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 2: tag from the college football segment. Jason tweeted in he said,

1656
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,120
Speaker 2: my biggest problem with the new playoff format college football

1657
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 2: playoff format is that Notre Dame can never be a

1658
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,759
Speaker 2: top four seed. Could this push them to a conference Jason,

1659
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 2: I think this has been a little bit misreported or

1660
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 2: maybe misunderstood by the national dialogue and discourse. So Jason's right. So,

1661
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 2: the way that the new playoff is gonna work, at

1662
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 2: least for right now, is the top four conference champions

1663
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 2: automatically get first round by so twelve team playoff four

1664
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:10,439
Speaker 2: teams get buys. First round is on true home home venues.

1665
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 2: And so everybody keeps saying that Notre Dame is at

1666
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 2: this major disadvantage, but remember they don't have a conference

1667
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 2: championship game, and so yes, it would really stink if

1668
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 2: you go undefeated and you have to play on that

1669
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 2: opening weekend. But one, you're gonna get a buye, and

1670
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 2: then two, I think the opposite is true as well.

1671
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 2: Is you know, you could be nine and three going

1672
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 2: into that last weekend. You could be sitting at home

1673
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,600
Speaker 2: watching carnage all around you, a fringe team in the

1674
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,679
Speaker 2: Big twelve or the Big ten or whoever sec acc

1675
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 2: losing in their conference championship game. So I think it

1676
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 2: can work both ways. Listen, I don't think any of

1677
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 2: us know what the future of college sports looks like.

1678
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 2: It's changing by the minute, it's changing by the day.

1679
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 2: My guess is at some point in our lifetimes, Notre

1680
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 2: Dame is in a conference. I don't know that this

1681
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:01,960
Speaker 2: playoff format is the reason that that.

1682
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 4: Will change them. Yeah, I don't either. I think when

1683
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 4: you originally hear well, they can't ever be this, they're

1684
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 4: gonna have a tougher road, Yeah, but they still control

1685
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 4: a lot and I think that actually they hold the

1686
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 4: leverage in a lot of respects. So I don't think

1687
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 4: that it's gonna necessarily push them in that direction because

1688
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 4: of what else they can accomplish along the way. We're

1689
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 4: just gonna have to see I think how it shakes

1690
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 4: out to really determine this, but I generally my first

1691
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 4: reaction when I saw it before kind of reading more

1692
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 4: into it, I did kind of think, oh boy, well,

1693
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 4: now they've got to join one. But the more I

1694
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 4: read into it, the more I thought about it, the

1695
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 4: less that seemed.

1696
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 3: Likely, no doubt.

1697
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 2: And I think to your point is that this is

1698
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 2: all gonna be so new for all of us that

1699
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,679
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any way to really judge really

1700
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 2: anything at this point, you know. I mean, it's like

1701
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 2: it's just it's gonna be so interesting all season long.

1702
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 2: Like you know, when we have that Week one show,

1703
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 2: like perfect example, Texas A and m Notre Dame, Like

1704
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 2: if Notre Dame loses that game, like I think the

1705
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 2: inclination is gonna be or it could be anybody, right,

1706
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 2: it could be you know, whoever.

1707
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 3: The inclination's gonna be. What does it mean for their season?

1708
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 2: You know, Texas and Michigan playing Week two and even

1709
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 2: a year ago, a loss in that game really kind

1710
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 2: of puts either of those teams back against the wall

1711
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 2: for the rest of the season. It's just not gonna

1712
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,839
Speaker 2: be that way. So again, a new world of college

1713
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 2: football coming. We cannot wait. Five Saturdays from today is

1714
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 2: week zero. Six saturdays from today is that first marquee

1715
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 2: Saturday of college football.

1716
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 3: Texas A and M Notre Dame, Clemson, Georgia, Miami.

1717
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:46,759
Speaker 2: And Florida among the big games on that Saturday. Jason,

1718
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 2: really quick, let's get into the news of the day.

1719
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 2: I think probably the biggest story in my opinion, and

1720
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,799
Speaker 2: maybe I'm over selling it, but Saturday night in Phoenix,

1721
01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 2: WNBA All Star Game. Okay, So why is that magnificant

1722
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 2: for people who are driving around don't know the story.

1723
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 2: It is because this year, as part of the WNBA

1724
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 2: All Star Game, the Team USA, team that will represent

1725
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 2: US in the Olympics, the one that Caitlin Clark was

1726
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 2: snubbed from, played a group of team of WNBA All Stars.

1727
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 2: So this isn't the traditional All Star model East versus

1728
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,719
Speaker 2: West or everybody from the WNBA. It was Team USA

1729
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 2: versus Team WNBA. And why we're talking about it is

1730
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:31,640
Speaker 2: because Team WNBA, with a bunch of girls that were

1731
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:33,719
Speaker 2: told they weren't good enough to represent the United States,

1732
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 2: they win one seventeen to one oh nine. The story

1733
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,520
Speaker 2: of the night. As de Seger just told you, Arique

1734
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 2: a Goombala was was the star thirty four points, an

1735
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 2: All Star Game record. Caitlin Clark struggled shooting the ball

1736
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 2: but finishes with ten assists. Angel Reese with a double

1737
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 2: double in just twenty two minutes of play. And I'll

1738
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 2: tell you, Jason, you know, I watched this game, and

1739
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is going to be a

1740
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 2: discourse come Monday. I think it probably will be because

1741
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 2: it's a little bit of a slower time. But we

1742
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 2: were told that some people were left off the team

1743
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 2: because they simply weren't good enough. It certainly looked like

1744
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:16,280
Speaker 2: there were three, four five players on that team WNBA

1745
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 2: group that was snubbed that looked good enough to play

1746
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 2: for Team USA.

1747
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's true if you I mean, certainly

1748
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 4: you can try to parse through and find reasons to

1749
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 4: discredit or whatever. By the way, for the Caitlin Clark haters,

1750
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:35,759
Speaker 4: she's the one that gets the Sports Center interview, Unlike

1751
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 4: you know, her teammate had thirty four points, she had four,

1752
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,679
Speaker 4: But she's the one that's there that's just the way. Look,

1753
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 4: that's just the way it's going to go. It's gonna

1754
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 4: continue to be that way. She did have tennis ciss

1755
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 4: of course, like you mentioned. But yeah, I just think

1756
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 4: there's discourse if you want it to be there. I

1757
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 4: don't know that it's like that obvious because of one

1758
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 4: game and one performance, but I do you know, we

1759
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 4: know how our colleague react and where they want to

1760
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,600
Speaker 4: pull things from. So it's definitely gonna be there. And

1761
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 4: certainly if you were looking for a reason, then you've

1762
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 4: got it here with the WNBA squad, the All Star

1763
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:14,960
Speaker 4: team beating Team USA. I don't know what it is

1764
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 4: because it's such a weird kind of environment and all this,

1765
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:21,480
Speaker 4: but and you watched a lot of it. It was competitive.

1766
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 4: It was definitely something where it looked like both teams

1767
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 4: were interested in winning it. It didn't seem like the

1768
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 4: NBA All Star Game, for example, which is almost unwatchable

1769
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 4: earlier this year. Very obviously, both these two teams, you know,

1770
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 4: both these two groups of young ladies wanted to win.

1771
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 2: It was zero doubt they wanted to win. I would

1772
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 2: take it a step further. I mean, you said it

1773
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 2: was close, you said it was competitive. The team WNBA

1774
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 2: was up by as much as twenty points in the

1775
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:52,560
Speaker 2: second half, and it was just, you know, it was

1776
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 2: a little bit jarring. And so, you know, I think,

1777
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 2: first of all, it speaks to maybe the depth of

1778
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 2: Team USA. But I'm just curious what the reaction is

1779
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 2: on Monday, because it's hard for me when you're looking

1780
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 2: at at at Team USA. You know, of the one

1781
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 2: hundred and nine points that they had, uh, basically half

1782
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 2: of them came from Breonna Stewart in Asia Wilson, I

1783
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 2: just find it hard to believe that a girl who

1784
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 2: had tennissists. By the way, Caitlyn Clark, you know, she

1785
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 2: played twenty six minutes, second most on the team, but

1786
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 2: as much as as as both teams were trying to win,

1787
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,320
Speaker 2: she really kind of didn't play a lot in the

1788
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 2: second half. Got her tenth assist or got her ninth assist,

1789
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 2: excuse me, basically right out of the first right out

1790
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 2: of halftime, and then actually did not play a ton

1791
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:40,640
Speaker 2: in the second half. And I don't know if they

1792
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 2: were trying to get some other girls reps. I think

1793
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 2: part of it was that they that that during in

1794
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:51,719
Speaker 2: the third quarter, uh, you know, a Goombala got really

1795
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,679
Speaker 2: really really hot, and maybe they didn't want to mess

1796
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 2: with the roster in the lineup, but Caaten Clark didn't

1797
01:28:58,160 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 2: even play very much, And I just think it's it's

1798
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,760
Speaker 2: interesting because I think she easily could have broken the

1799
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,640
Speaker 2: All Star Game assist record. It is eleven, held by

1800
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,800
Speaker 2: Sue Bert. She had ten and really didn't play a

1801
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 2: ton in the second half. We'll be curious to see

1802
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 2: how that holds up really quickly, Jason. The men's USA

1803
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 2: basketball team, Team USA the men's team. They do hold

1804
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 2: on to beat the South Sudan. South Sudan. Fun fact,

1805
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 2: the youngest country in the world, was formed in two

1806
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 2: thousand and eleven. They have qualified for their first Olympics.

1807
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:36,439
Speaker 2: But as you mentioned, as the SEGA mentioned last hour,

1808
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 2: this was not a feel good let's take pictures and

1809
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 2: have a good time.

1810
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 3: They came to win this game. The team does feature a.

1811
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:45,560
Speaker 2: Couple guys that have at least had a couple of

1812
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:48,960
Speaker 2: coffee in the NBA, winning and Gabriel JT Thor, But

1813
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 2: it took a Lebron James layup essentially at the buzzer

1814
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:56,040
Speaker 2: to seal a one oh one, one hundred victory.

1815
01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 3: JT.

1816
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 2: Thor previously of the Charlotte Hornets hit a three with

1817
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 2: about five seconds to go to give the South Sudan

1818
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 2: a lead.

1819
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 3: Are you'd all worried about this team USA Team?

1820
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 2: Jason as Disager said, they open with Serbia here next

1821
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 2: week and then, oh, by the way, we'll have to

1822
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:15,800
Speaker 2: play South Sudan in group play.

1823
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 4: I mean, if they don't win the gold I'd still

1824
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:20,639
Speaker 4: be surprised, but I'm not going to be shocked. It's

1825
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 4: just I do think the rest of the world's gotten better.

1826
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 4: But more than anything, it's just these NBA players that

1827
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 4: have just come off a long season. A lot of

1828
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 4: them are a good many of them playing extra games.

1829
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:33,760
Speaker 4: Of course in the postseason. They're an older group as well,

1830
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 4: so you just have and you have a bunch of

1831
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:38,599
Speaker 4: disparate pieces that are just kind of coming together. It's

1832
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 4: why luckily there are tune ups so they can kind

1833
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 4: of get a little bit more familiar with what they're doing.

1834
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 4: But you know, essentially it's an all star team. These

1835
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,680
Speaker 4: aren't guys that are gelled together the same way a

1836
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:53,320
Speaker 4: lot of the other countries are, where they're a lot

1837
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 4: more used to playing with one another as opposed to

1838
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 4: always facing up against one another, so it might take

1839
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 4: a little bit of time. I'm not worried. They still

1840
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 4: won the game, and I still think if they put

1841
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,839
Speaker 4: their if they put the final gear on against anybody,

1842
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,719
Speaker 4: they're gonna beat them, even if they're trailing at times

1843
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 4: during the thing. I just don't know it's going to

1844
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 4: be this dominant deal. I think that's what this show

1845
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 4: is more than anything is it might be a bit

1846
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 4: of a struggle and they might have to actually find

1847
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,599
Speaker 4: that extra gear. But at the same time, I mean

1848
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 4: they again, they still won the game. Lebron hit the

1849
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 4: layup at the end, he had a solid night and

1850
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 4: they still won. So I mean, I don't know how

1851
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:33,559
Speaker 4: upset you can be other than they were a forty

1852
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 4: point favorite and they won a game by one point

1853
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 4: and nearly lost because there was a couple of opportunities

1854
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 4: on the last last possession for South Sudan and they

1855
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 4: just came up empty.

1856
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:43,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1857
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 2: This was their fourth exhibition, first one against Canada. They

1858
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 2: were largely in control. The Australia game got close, they

1859
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 2: went by six, and then they took care of Serbia

1860
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 2: just the other day. That was an interesting game because

1861
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,599
Speaker 2: it was basically like tied middle of the second quarter,

1862
01:31:57,680 --> 01:31:59,679
Speaker 2: and then they just ran away with it. I don't

1863
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 2: know if on Saturday against the South Sudan they thought

1864
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:03,120
Speaker 2: they could do the same.

1865
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 4: You know.

1866
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 2: The only reason I'm a little bit more concerned than you, Jason,

1867
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 2: is because this is a single elimination tournament and it

1868
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:14,720
Speaker 2: doesn't like it doesn't it doesn't feel like, you know,

1869
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 2: they're not trying or they're you know, I don't get

1870
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 2: the sense that it's one of two things, like that

1871
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 2: they're not jelling.

1872
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:23,880
Speaker 3: Well, I take that back.

1873
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 2: I don't get the sense that like, oh, they're taking

1874
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,880
Speaker 2: the opponents lightly. I just think that that Steve Kerr

1875
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:33,320
Speaker 2: is still trying to figure out this roster again. Kevin

1876
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,599
Speaker 2: Durant just returned to practice. We obviously had the situation

1877
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 2: with Kawhi leaving, Derek White coming in. Derek White was

1878
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 2: actually playing a lot down the stretch today and I'm

1879
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 2: not totally sure why you're on Saturday against South Sudan.

1880
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 2: So that to me is more interesting than anything else.

1881
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 2: They have one more tune up before they start group

1882
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:54,600
Speaker 2: play in the Olympics on July twenty eighth, which is

1883
01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 2: a week from Monday. So the bottom line or from

1884
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:01,400
Speaker 2: Sunday excuse me. So the bottom line is is that

1885
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 2: they do have to get things figured out, and they

1886
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 2: do have to get things figured out in a hurry

1887
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 2: because the Olympics are starting. Team USA does take care

1888
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 2: of business. But of their four exhibition wins, two of

1889
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:16,559
Speaker 2: them have been by six points or less. Fox Sports

1911
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,599
Speaker 2: A couple NFL topics. I want to get to jmart

1912
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 2: First of all, I have a question for you as

1913
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 2: it pertains to Brandon Ayuk San Francisco forty nine ers

1914
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 2: wide receiver demanded a trade, blah blah blah blah blah,

1915
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,840
Speaker 2: wants a new deal. I want to ask you a

1916
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 2: question because I find the coverage of this very interesting.

1917
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:53,280
Speaker 2: Of the Brandon Ayuk situation. Do you think Brandon Ayuk

1918
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 2: truly believes that he is either a going to get

1919
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 2: traded or be going to get a new contract, Like,

1920
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 2: do you believe like he believes that all of this

1921
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,120
Speaker 2: public uproar will end in one of the two in

1922
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 2: the very near future.

1923
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:16,360
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I mean where you're waiting for me to answer,

1924
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 4: which I think he probably will get a new I

1925
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:22,880
Speaker 4: think he'll get a new co act. I don't think

1926
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 4: they want to move him. I just think they don't

1927
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 4: have They're not in any hurry to do business with them.

1928
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:30,680
Speaker 4: Neither one of the teams is in a spot where

1929
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 4: they're going to lose anything right now. Really good piece

1930
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 4: in the athletic a couple of weeks ago kind of

1931
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:39,839
Speaker 4: breaking all this down from just a nuts and bolt's perspective,

1932
01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 4: and it just looks like it needs to get done

1933
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:45,640
Speaker 4: at some point. But I don't think the forty nine

1934
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 4: ers feel any obligation to handle it right this second.

1935
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 4: It might not end up paying off for Brandon Eyu,

1936
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 4: but I don't think they want to move him. And

1937
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:54,719
Speaker 4: I mean I saw the well. I wonder if Joey

1938
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:56,920
Speaker 4: Bosa could intrigue them. I don't know why he's hurt

1939
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 4: all the time. I understand how good he can be,

1940
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 4: but I don't know that that should be part of

1941
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 4: any kind of a move. I know I Yuka is

1942
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 4: incredibly valuable to him, but they have a lot of

1943
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 4: weapons on that team, and as good a receiver as

1944
01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:14,040
Speaker 4: he is, his role in the pecking order there might

1945
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:16,920
Speaker 4: be different than it's gonna be somewhere else. So maybe

1946
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 4: he ends up going somewhere. But I don't think that

1947
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:21,439
Speaker 4: he holds the cards in this situation. So I just

1948
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 4: tend to think they work it out, they will give

1949
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:25,559
Speaker 4: him a new deal. He's not gonna end up making

1950
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 4: the most of all these receivers, but he's probably gonna be.

1951
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 4: He's gonna be doing pretty well for himself. That's just

1952
01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 4: my expectation.

1953
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just find the coverage interesting and maybe and

1954
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:37,639
Speaker 2: I think we talked about this a few weeks ago,

1955
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 2: like maybe it's because we want to talk football, but

1956
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:44,639
Speaker 2: there really hasn't been that much to discuss. I find

1957
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 2: the coverage interesting for two reasons. One because I think

1958
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:55,240
Speaker 2: that we are preconditioned, largely because of the NBA, that

1959
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:59,200
Speaker 2: when a player demands a trade, they get it. I mean,

1960
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:01,679
Speaker 2: you can name any player in the NBA, Kawhi Leonard

1961
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:07,280
Speaker 2: from the Spurs, Anthony Davis from the Pelicans, Kevin Durant

1962
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 2: pick your time, James Aren't and pick your time.

1963
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:11,560
Speaker 3: So there's that.

1964
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 2: And I I think Brandon Ayuk like I think that

1965
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,000
Speaker 2: he just assumes that he's either gonna get traded or

1966
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,519
Speaker 2: more realistically, he's going to get a new contract. And

1967
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:28,800
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why either is going to happen again.

1968
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:30,840
Speaker 2: I know we're preconditioned in the NBA to assume that

1969
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:32,600
Speaker 2: guys get traded, but you look at it from the

1970
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:35,240
Speaker 2: forty nine ers perspective. First of all, he's making fourteen

1971
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,160
Speaker 2: million dollars this year. I mean, it's not like it's

1972
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 2: chump change, right, And I understand the circumstances and conditions,

1973
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 2: but he's a younger guy. He is on a rookie contract,

1974
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 2: and like, not only has he not played out his

1975
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 2: contract yet, they can still obviously use the franchise tag

1976
01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:58,599
Speaker 2: on him. So I don't understand why there's any urgency

1977
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 2: at all. And it's not like he's banked one hundred

1978
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 2: million dollars where he can just sit out and not

1979
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 2: show up, and so maybe it does get done. I

1980
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:11,320
Speaker 2: know Deebo Samuel did this a few years ago, and like,

1981
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 2: if you look at the history of the forty nine ers,

1982
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 2: they take care of their guys, you know, Nick Bosa, whatever,

1983
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 2: on and on. But I just find it interesting because

1984
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't really understand why everyone just assumes that, like

1985
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,880
Speaker 2: a new contract is imminent just because or a trade

1986
01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,320
Speaker 2: for that matter, just because he's asking for it. Because

1987
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:32,639
Speaker 2: he could say he's gonna do this. He can't sit out.

1988
01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:34,320
Speaker 2: I mean, how much money has he made over the

1989
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 2: course of his career. So I just find the coverage

1990
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 2: of it very interesting because I think, again, I think

1991
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 2: both athletes, but then I also think media members just

1992
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 2: kind of default to, well, if a guy demands a trade,

1993
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:47,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna get it.

1994
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know that I agree with it.

1995
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I do. Yeah, I think that's right. I

1996
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,880
Speaker 4: don't think that it should be quite as much of

1997
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 4: a given as it is, because I'm not sure Brandon

1998
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:00,640
Speaker 4: I yuk hits the same way as a lot of

1999
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:04,360
Speaker 4: other names that have mandated trades. Like you, if you

2000
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,360
Speaker 4: want to make a stink loud enough, you can try

2001
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 4: to call their bluff.

2002
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 1: And in this.

2003
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 4: Scenario, if you're the forty nine ers, you're probably just like,

2004
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 4: all right, I mean, you continue to do what you've

2005
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 4: got to do. I understand you're trying to create leverage

2006
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 4: on your side, but it's kind of non existent leverage.

2007
01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 4: It's not going to force us to the table any faster.

2008
01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 4: We're only going to do this if it starts to

2009
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 4: hurt us, and right now it's not really hurting them,

2010
01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:31,240
Speaker 4: and it's not really hurting Brandon Ayuk either, and I

2011
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:34,800
Speaker 4: think maybe fortunately for him, since some of these other

2012
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 4: bigger name guys have already gotten their money than Ayuk's

2013
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 4: names a little bit louder if we're still talking about

2014
01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 4: a lot of this, and of course there's still out

2015
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 4: there to be paid. You've got Jamar Chay Easton, You've

2016
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:48,560
Speaker 4: got Ceedee Lamb, just as a couple of examples. And

2017
01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:50,960
Speaker 4: I think Ayyuk, you know, wants to be in that mix.

2018
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 4: I don't know that he should be, but at least

2019
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,560
Speaker 4: not in San Francisco. I don't think he should be,

2020
01:39:57,320 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 4: but maybe there are some teams that would value him

2021
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 4: that way. I think that for him it's a bit

2022
01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 4: of a gamble, but I don't think he's gonna end

2023
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 4: like Melvin Gordon or anything like that. But I also

2024
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:09,560
Speaker 4: don't think he would be willing to go home to

2025
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 4: try and get more money because I just don't think.

2026
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 4: I think if brass Tax comes to it, he's probably

2027
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:18,719
Speaker 4: the one that loses that game of chicken first between

2028
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:19,640
Speaker 4: him and the franchise.

2029
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 2: Well, and that's what I think, because I mean, listen,

2030
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 2: first of all, Deebo already got paid. McCaffrey already got paid.

2031
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:29,519
Speaker 2: We know how important McCaffrey is to that team in

2032
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 2: the offense that they run. And then you got you

2033
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 2: got the older guys, the bosas the Trent Williams is

2034
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 2: the guys that got paid. By the way, I'm looking

2035
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 2: it up right now, in his four years in the league,

2036
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 2: Auk has never made more than three point nine million

2037
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 2: dollars two point two two point eight, so that is

2038
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,599
Speaker 2: what five there in his first two years three point four,

2039
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 2: that's eight point four. So he's made about twelve million

2040
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:54,880
Speaker 2: dollars in his career before taxes. We know, and I'm

2041
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 2: not trying to be you know, tax guy on sports

2042
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 2: talk radio, but we know California two axes are crazy

2043
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 2: Bay Area living expenses or whatever.

2044
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 3: My guess is, he just doesn't have that much money

2045
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:06,679
Speaker 3: in the bank.

2046
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:09,639
Speaker 2: And so again I don't mean to keep the laboring

2047
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 2: the point, but I just find it interesting because I

2048
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 2: don't really understand why. I mean, I guess in theory,

2049
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 2: I understand why the forty nine ers want him on

2050
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 2: the field, but it's like, Okay, you can throw a fit,

2051
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:22,640
Speaker 2: throw a fit, throw a fit, but it's like they

2052
01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 2: don't have to trade you. You don't really have like

2053
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:31,479
Speaker 2: the leverage to hold out, you know, unless you just

2054
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:33,320
Speaker 2: don't want to get paid, you want to get fined,

2055
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:36,519
Speaker 2: you want to whatever. Just find the whole thing very interesting,

2056
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 2: curious to see what happens. I know he's obviously got

2057
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,599
Speaker 2: ties to Jade and Daniels. They played together at Arizona State.

2058
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know when you think he's playing

2059
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 2: week one, you think he's on the field, or.

2060
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,760
Speaker 3: You think you think he gets resolved before then this

2061
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:51,760
Speaker 3: is what forty nine ers.

2062
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:54,000
Speaker 4: Sometimes I think it will. I'd be surprised if he's

2063
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 4: not out there week one. I think there'll be some

2064
01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 4: kind of a meat in the middle moment where he'll

2065
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 4: it's something. I mean they could I think they could,

2066
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:05,639
Speaker 4: you know, tag him or force him a play under

2067
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 4: this and then tag him next year, like said, let's

2068
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 4: get backfire on him. But I kind of think cooler

2069
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 4: has prevailed and they find something that's sort of workable

2070
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 4: for both sides.

2071
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:17,720
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio air tors Jason Martin, broadcasting

2176
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 8: expected to attend this year's festivities, they say, including eighty

2177
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 8: eight year old Sandy Kofax, who was in the Hall

2178
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 8: of Fame class of nineteen seventy two.

2179
01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:42,960
Speaker 2: Back to you, thank you very much, Steve Saga, Fox

2180
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday Sunday, depending on where you are,

2181
01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:49,800
Speaker 2: air towards Jason Martin broadcasting live from the tyreck dot

2182
01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:55,040
Speaker 2: Com studios. So there's a narrative floating around Jason that

2183
01:47:55,160 --> 01:48:00,360
Speaker 2: I just fundamentally disagree with. And I've heard quite a

2184
01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:02,960
Speaker 2: few people make this argument here over the last couple

2185
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 2: of weeks, but it popped up on the thirty third

2186
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 2: Team's Twitter feed on Wednesday of this week. The thirty

2187
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 2: third Team is former you know kind of coaches, players,

2188
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:18,800
Speaker 2: et cetera. You know that have all kind of come

2189
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 2: under one umbrella run by Mike Tannebaum, run by Mike Tannabaum. Correct,

2190
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 2: So it kind of the conversation kind of stemmed from

2191
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 2: the you know, Caleb Williams finally signing his rookie deal.

2192
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 2: By the way, of course, because it's Caleb and really

2193
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:37,680
Speaker 2: it's the adults around him, there was plenty of controversy.

2194
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 2: You know, there was talk of him wanting for you know,

2195
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:42,839
Speaker 2: the option to franchise tag be removed from the contract.

2196
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:45,600
Speaker 2: There's all sorts of quirks that they were trying to

2197
01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:48,599
Speaker 2: get involved that that didn't end up happening. But thirty

2198
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 2: third Team's Twitter account put out a question after he

2199
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:56,519
Speaker 2: signed his contract said, has a rookie quarterback ever walked

2200
01:48:56,560 --> 01:49:00,439
Speaker 2: into a better situation than Caleb Williams, And the referenced

2201
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:02,840
Speaker 2: all the guys that are on that offense, DeAndre Swift,

2202
01:49:03,439 --> 01:49:07,160
Speaker 2: DJ Moore, wide receiver, Keenan Allen. Obviously they drafted Romadnze.

2203
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 2: I think this is an absolutely absurd.

2204
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:11,880
Speaker 3: Take, Jason.

2205
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 2: First of all, it's not even the best situation of

2206
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:18,559
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in this class, Like, I get that he's not started,

2207
01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 2: but Michael Pennix, the talent around if Kirk Cousins, god

2208
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 2: forbid isn't ready to go, the talent around Michael Pennox

2209
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:26,200
Speaker 2: is better than the talent around Kayleb Williams.

2210
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 3: That's one. But two, I just don't I don't let

2211
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:31,760
Speaker 3: me put it this away. I'll toss it over to you.

2212
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:35,080
Speaker 2: Do you believe that Kayleb Williams is walking into the

2213
01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:38,000
Speaker 2: best situation in the history of rookie quarterbacks? Because I

2214
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 2: think it's an easy talking point. That is absolute nonsense.

2215
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an easy talking point. And it's weird because

2216
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:47,960
Speaker 4: I read something like the headline a few weeks ago,

2217
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:50,040
Speaker 4: it might have been a month ago, is like, do

2218
01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 4: the Bears already have a top five offense entering the preseason?

2219
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:58,840
Speaker 4: And I thought, this is not April first, So what

2220
01:49:58,960 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 4: are we talking about here? Like, I understand DJ Moore

2221
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 4: is a really good player, and they've had some you know,

2222
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 4: they've done pretty well, but I don't know exactly what

2223
01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:12,800
Speaker 4: the purpose of this is, Like why is this even

2224
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:15,800
Speaker 4: a narrative? Because you're now setting Caleb Williams up to

2225
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:19,759
Speaker 4: not be able to, you know, succeed to the degree

2226
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:23,240
Speaker 4: that you want him to, and you've created this story

2227
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:28,240
Speaker 4: now where he should be able to and the Bears

2228
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:31,800
Speaker 4: historically that has not been the case for them. They're

2229
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 4: still in a scenario where you're not really sure about

2230
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:37,759
Speaker 4: their head coach. There's still some holes there. There's gonna

2231
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 4: take some time. And he's a rookie. I certainly don't

2232
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:42,839
Speaker 4: think that he just walked into an A plus situation.

2233
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:45,719
Speaker 4: That's why they had the opportunity. Well, you know, they

2234
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:48,000
Speaker 4: were able to go win last year because they already

2235
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:50,679
Speaker 4: had the one. They weren't the worst team in the league.

2236
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 4: So that's the one thing you can look at and say,

2237
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 4: all right, here's a number one overall pick that went

2238
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:57,479
Speaker 4: to a team that was nowhere close to the worst

2239
01:50:57,520 --> 01:51:00,880
Speaker 4: team in the league because they possessed the first pick

2240
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:03,120
Speaker 4: of the Carolina Panthers, who were by far the worst

2241
01:51:03,160 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 4: team in the league. So from that metric, that is

2242
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 4: kind of a rarity that you get that. But do

2243
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:10,760
Speaker 4: I think he's walking into the best situation a rookie

2244
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 4: quarter But no, I think that's a bit of a stretch.

2245
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 4: I think that's only so you can only evaluate that

2246
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:19,519
Speaker 4: after you watch them actually play something. I don't think

2247
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:20,599
Speaker 4: you can do that on paper.

2248
01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just look at it from this perspective,

2249
01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 2: is Matt Eberflus is on the hot seat right yeah,

2250
01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:29,640
Speaker 2: and like, listen, I get listen. I'm not gonna sit

2251
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:31,640
Speaker 2: here and say that after the way things finished, he

2252
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 2: should have been fired last year. I don't know that

2253
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 2: I believe that, But defensive head coach walking in on

2254
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:41,519
Speaker 2: the hot seat, and like, if this goes sideways, even

2255
01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:44,120
Speaker 2: if it's not Caleb's fault, all of a sudden, you're

2256
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 2: looking at a second head coach, a second you know,

2257
01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:51,559
Speaker 2: offensive system, a second offensive coordinator a season from now

2258
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:54,960
Speaker 2: and now, by the way, by the way, it's worth

2259
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 2: noting because of stuff like this, I think there's kind

2260
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 2: of a lot of pressure on Matt Eberflus. I don't

2261
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:03,800
Speaker 2: know if it's playoffs or bust, but I think there's

2262
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:07,000
Speaker 2: a scenario where you go seven to ten, you're a

2263
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:08,679
Speaker 2: little bit improved, but you don't make the playoffs.

2264
01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:09,720
Speaker 3: I think you're probably out.

2265
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:12,600
Speaker 2: And so even if at that point you go with

2266
01:52:12,680 --> 01:52:15,360
Speaker 2: the offensive head coach, if you go whatever, but I

2267
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:18,240
Speaker 2: just think to like, even I was seeing this the

2268
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:20,840
Speaker 2: other day, Like even somebody like Kyler Murray when he

2269
01:52:20,920 --> 01:52:23,679
Speaker 2: came into the league, can't say that the talent around

2270
01:52:23,760 --> 01:52:26,639
Speaker 2: him was better, but it was a first year head coach,

2271
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:32,040
Speaker 2: offensive head coach who was specifically drafted to get the

2272
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 2: most out of Kyler Murray.

2273
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:35,960
Speaker 3: And it's like, would you rather have that situation?

2274
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 2: I know Cliff Kingsbury didn't work out, he's not a

2275
01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:39,680
Speaker 2: good head coach, okay, but would you rather have that

2276
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:43,679
Speaker 2: situation or a hot seed head coach, a defensive head

2277
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 2: coach and if you'll and if you don't win enough

2278
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:49,439
Speaker 2: probably make the playoffs, you're looking at a second head

2279
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:53,240
Speaker 2: coach in your second season, second new second offensive coordinator.

2280
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 2: I think that, to me is the biggest problem is

2281
01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 2: that Eberflus might not be around for very long and

2282
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:01,000
Speaker 2: then you just kind of get into that cycle of

2283
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:02,960
Speaker 2: being a young guy with multiple coaches.

2284
01:53:03,040 --> 01:53:06,040
Speaker 4: Jes yeah, I mean I think that. Look, that's to me,

2285
01:53:06,160 --> 01:53:07,720
Speaker 4: if you don't have a coach, or if you're not

2286
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,120
Speaker 4: sure you have a coach, you're not sure about everything

2287
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:14,240
Speaker 4: that's happening on the sidelines on that staff, that's a

2288
01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 4: big thing to overcome. I don't care how talented you

2289
01:53:17,360 --> 01:53:19,160
Speaker 4: are entering the league. I mean, you can talk about

2290
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence and what he waltzed into in Jacksonville. He

2291
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:24,960
Speaker 4: got urban Meyer that didn't exactly work out all that

2292
01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:27,240
Speaker 4: well for him, and it definitely set him back. I'm

2293
01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:28,640
Speaker 4: not sure he's ever going to get back to what

2294
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:31,040
Speaker 4: he could have been, maybe if he had had the

2295
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:34,640
Speaker 4: right mentor on the sidelines, the right coaching staff for

2296
01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:37,880
Speaker 4: him that first year instead of the circus that he did.

2297
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 4: But you know, I don't know that it all comes

2298
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:43,920
Speaker 4: down to that, but I definitely think that that should

2299
01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:46,599
Speaker 4: be a knock. That should be something taking big time

2300
01:53:46,640 --> 01:53:49,680
Speaker 4: into consideration that Matt Eberflus was a guy who we

2301
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:52,040
Speaker 4: weren't sure was still going to have this job a

2302
01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:56,000
Speaker 4: year ago. This time they did overperform. One of the

2303
01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 4: reasons why is because they didn't have to tank to

2304
01:53:57,920 --> 01:54:00,840
Speaker 4: get the one pick. Like I mentioned, you know, they

2305
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:03,040
Speaker 4: they've made a good move. I mean, they got DJ Morten,

2306
01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:05,800
Speaker 4: he can play, and they got a little bit out

2307
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:08,880
Speaker 4: of justin fields and they were able to kind of

2308
01:54:08,920 --> 01:54:11,559
Speaker 4: maximize that. And then at the trade deadline, right before

2309
01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:13,960
Speaker 4: the trade deadline, you know, they were able to acquire

2310
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:16,120
Speaker 4: a couple of nice pieces that came in that wanted

2311
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,360
Speaker 4: to prove something, and we're able to sort of fill

2312
01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 4: them out a little. So, I mean, I think there's

2313
01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:23,760
Speaker 4: I think there's some there's a reason for optimism, but

2314
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:25,600
Speaker 4: I think we need to slow it down just a

2315
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:26,080
Speaker 4: little bit.

2316
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:28,680
Speaker 3: I agree. Do you think it's playoff? You know, I'll

2317
01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:29,000
Speaker 3: tell you what.

2318
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 2: Let's come back, We'll wrap the show, talk a little

2319
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 2: bit more about this preview the week ahead. Aeron Torris,

2320
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 2: Jason Martin. This is Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back, everybody,

2321
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:43,280
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Aeron Toris, Jason Martin, broadcasting live from

2322
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:45,760
Speaker 2: the diirec dot Com studios. We are on air for

2323
01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:49,480
Speaker 2: another eleven minutes. Then Bernie Fraddo of The Bernie Frado

2324
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 2: Show follows us at the top of the hour. Jason,

2325
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:56,440
Speaker 2: real quick, you know, want to kind of just put

2326
01:54:56,480 --> 01:54:58,560
Speaker 2: a bow on the show. But before we do, we're

2327
01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:03,400
Speaker 2: just talking. Kaylee Williams. The thirty third Team was the latest.

2328
01:55:03,480 --> 01:55:05,720
Speaker 2: They're not the only ones that they put out a

2329
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:09,680
Speaker 2: tweet basically asking has any rookie quarterback been in a

2330
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:12,560
Speaker 2: better situation than Caleb Williams. You and I both think

2331
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 2: I just think it's flat out Ludacris, I think you

2332
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:15,600
Speaker 2: feel the same.

2333
01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:17,920
Speaker 3: What do you think are like?

2334
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:19,320
Speaker 1: Do you think like?

2335
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:21,120
Speaker 3: Because I see a lot.

2336
01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:25,280
Speaker 2: Of people saying they can make the playoffs, and I

2337
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 2: absolutely think they can. I don't know that they will

2338
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 2: because that division is all of a sudden really tough,

2339
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:34,600
Speaker 2: with the Packers emerging and of course the Detroit Lions

2340
01:55:34,640 --> 01:55:39,520
Speaker 2: have officially arrived. I don't think it's like playoffs or

2341
01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:43,040
Speaker 2: disappointment in year one for Caleb Williams with the Bears.

2342
01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:44,400
Speaker 3: That would you say the same?

2343
01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:50,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I don't think that. I think

2344
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:56,880
Speaker 4: that's fair. It's I think you got to measure expectations.

2345
01:55:56,920 --> 01:55:58,640
Speaker 4: You got to get somebody a chance, you gotta get

2346
01:55:58,640 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 4: somebody time.

2347
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,080
Speaker 2: All right, Well that's that real quick. Let's start to

2348
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:07,240
Speaker 2: look ahead to this week. First of all, team USA

2349
01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:11,640
Speaker 2: men's team does play one more exhibition prior to to

2350
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:13,680
Speaker 2: the to the Paris Game, starting, by the way, the

2351
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:16,640
Speaker 2: Olympic opening ceremonies next Friday.

2352
01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so coming up, fat.

2353
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 4: Are you are you?

2354
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 3: Are you an Olympic guy?

2355
01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:23,560
Speaker 4: Jmart I'm not not anymore. It doesn't mean I won't

2356
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 4: watch any of it, and we'll get into it as

2357
01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 4: it goes. Along, But like I think, maybe when I

2358
01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 4: was a kid, I remember eighty four LA, even though

2359
01:56:32,520 --> 01:56:34,400
Speaker 4: I was only six at the time, but I remember,

2360
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:37,360
Speaker 4: you know, Mary lou Retten and some of the stuff

2361
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 4: that was happening there, and I remember Dan and Dave

2362
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:43,840
Speaker 4: and that craziness. And of course as you've gotten older,

2363
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:47,080
Speaker 4: there have been an athlete here and there. But just

2364
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:49,400
Speaker 4: in terms of the games being this thing that I

2365
01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:52,360
Speaker 4: could not wait for, it's definitely changed there. It's just

2366
01:56:52,600 --> 01:56:55,720
Speaker 4: it just doesn't have the same meaning as it once did,

2367
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 4: maybe just because we're so inundated with sports at all times.

2368
01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 4: Now because we can get it everywhere, the no event

2369
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 4: feels quite as huge and enormous and can't miss even

2370
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:08,760
Speaker 4: the Olympics.

2371
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is crazy.

2372
01:57:10,120 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 2: I mean, like you just think about the stuff that

2373
01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean, even this time of year, it's supposed to

2374
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:16,480
Speaker 2: be the slow time you have. I mean not only

2375
01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:19,080
Speaker 2: obviously Major League Baseball, but you have Summer League is

2376
01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:22,320
Speaker 2: now kind of a thing, at least for this year.

2377
01:57:22,760 --> 01:57:26,880
Speaker 2: Excuse me, WNBA is a thing. It doesn't really feel

2378
01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 2: like we've had that like big drop off of sports.

2379
01:57:30,440 --> 01:57:33,120
Speaker 2: And I'll be curious how they cover the Olympics too.

2380
01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:35,040
Speaker 2: I think I read somewhere, and I hope it's not

2381
01:57:35,200 --> 01:57:40,520
Speaker 2: true that basically NBC is kind of conceded like, hey,

2382
01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:44,920
Speaker 2: you know, because of the world we live in, there's

2383
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:48,560
Speaker 2: no reason to kind of postpone the big events until nighttime.

2384
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:52,840
Speaker 2: So basically I think they're pretty much showing everything live

2385
01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:56,880
Speaker 2: and then like, you know, the the nighttime. You know,

2386
01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:59,440
Speaker 2: that primetime window is kind of more of a recap

2387
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 2: of the day. I still hope they find a way

2388
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:04,720
Speaker 2: to get those big events in the late time time frames.

2389
01:58:04,880 --> 01:58:08,120
Speaker 2: I still do enjoy watching the Olympics and watching or

2390
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:11,120
Speaker 2: watching the swimming and watching the sprints and stuff like that,

2391
01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 2: and I obviously think Team USA, especially the men's basketball,

2392
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:18,960
Speaker 2: will be very intriguing. Don't know exactly again, what the

2393
01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:21,440
Speaker 2: what the plans are the other thing too, j Mart,

2394
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 2: I really hope they don't slam all the good stuff

2395
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 2: on Peacock, like you know, it's it's you know, I know,

2396
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:30,760
Speaker 2: we're moving to this streaming world. But I hope those

2397
01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:34,560
Speaker 2: those Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday primetime slots are still kind of

2398
01:58:34,640 --> 01:58:37,320
Speaker 2: the best that they have as far as whatever that

2399
01:58:37,560 --> 01:58:38,680
Speaker 2: main event is of that day.

2400
01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's right. I definitely agree with that. I

2401
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:45,880
Speaker 4: don't know that you're gonna get that, but yeah, again,

2402
01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:49,920
Speaker 4: streaming is streaming is starting to you know, eat itself alive.

2403
01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:53,040
Speaker 4: Everything going up, and then cable was trying to take it.

2404
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 4: I got something from my cable provider today that's taking

2405
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:58,640
Speaker 4: three streaming services and offering me the ad version of

2406
01:58:58,720 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 4: all three of them for a lowe. That sounds like Cable.

2407
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:04,160
Speaker 4: It sounds like I'm getting a lot of things at

2408
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:05,920
Speaker 4: one price. No, I know.

2409
01:59:06,200 --> 01:59:08,520
Speaker 2: So that is the week ahead, by the way, that

2410
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:12,080
Speaker 2: team USA basketball team will take the court. By the way,

2411
01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:17,160
Speaker 2: speaking of the Bears, of course, not this coming Thursday,

2412
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:21,240
Speaker 2: but the following one, Thursday, August August first, is that

2413
01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:24,160
Speaker 2: next that's not next Thursday is the Hall of Fame

2414
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:28,560
Speaker 2: game Houston versus Chicago. So a lot going on world

2415
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 2: of sports. As you said, Jason, it really doesn't feel

2416
01:59:31,520 --> 01:59:33,640
Speaker 2: like we've had much of a break. I don't know

2417
01:59:33,640 --> 01:59:36,160
Speaker 2: if it's because Bronni became a thing at Summer League

2418
01:59:36,280 --> 01:59:38,480
Speaker 2: or because Kate ln Clark has been a thing, but

2419
01:59:39,480 --> 01:59:41,400
Speaker 2: but it's been a busy summer in sports and it's

2420
01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:45,280
Speaker 2: not slowing down. Training camps are starting up. SEC Media Days,

2421
01:59:45,840 --> 01:59:47,880
