Speaker 1: love this. Anita sends me a text that took up

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: my entire phone on all the different topics that we

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: could talk about today. A reminder that we have a

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: little time, so let's get right to it, Anita, because

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: going on with the NBA. Adam Silver, by the way,

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: complaining in the NBA is getting too much criticism. And

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: then on top of that, we got the Lakers Grizzlies

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: game tonight. After the Grizzlies out of Nowhere decided to

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: fire their coach, Taylor Jenkins with nine games to go.

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk about why that happened, and then coming up

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,560

Speaker 1: latest on the Giants, obviously going with Russell Wilson, and

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: is there going to be a future for Aaron Rodgers

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: coming up in the National Football League with the students? Possible? So, Anita,

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: we do have a lot to cover today, but I

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: want to this is a personal thing. So with the

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: March Madness brackets right now, and I was in first

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: place for much of the brackets at this time, do

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: we have anitashell Good.

36
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: Are here? Oh?

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: There she is?

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: So?

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually I was because you're talking about your brackets again. Yes,

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: I am so, not even like five minutes into the

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: show or to your bracket.

42
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's not about me. Well it is about me,

43
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: but I mean it's more about our listeners out there.

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Because we got this game coming up here between Florida

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: and Texas Tech. So we've got to get some of

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the picks. Your insight as far as this game is concerned,

47
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: because it's about to tip off right now again, I

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: have a combination of games remaining. There's seven games remaining

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: where I can still win this bracket challenge, but one

50
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: of them I need is Florida. So let's let's talk

51
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: about this game for our listeners out there again and

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: it will break all these games down over the course

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: of the show today, but specifically right now, the one

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: seed Florida against the only remaining three seed. In fact,

55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: this is the only team not a one or two

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: seeds still remaining in this tournament. Texas Tech. How's this

57
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: going to break down? Anita?

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, Florida is six and a half. I'm gonna lay

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: the points before I get into older reasons why. I

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: just want to throw this back your way. Did Texas

61
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: Tech win the matchup against Arkansas or did Arkansas lose

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: it in regard to really bad coaching?

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Okay, now, I'm glad you mentioned this because if Arkansas

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: I had not blown that game, I would be sitting

65
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: in first place right now. I didn't pick Arkansas, but

66
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I had Saint John's in that bracket getting to the

67
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: Elite eight, but everyone else had Texas Tech. So if

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas won, they wouldn't have gotten the points or Texas Tech.

69
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: So I was just thinking the same thing you tell me,

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: was that coach cal absolutely choking away. And by the way,

71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the first NCAA Tournament game. I was

72
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: there for the championship game at eight when his Memphis

73
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: team choked down the stretch against Kansas. How did you

74
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: see that? Don't game?

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: I think, And not to take anything away from Texas Tech,

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: but yes, i'm, I'm, I'm. That win to me is

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: more of a failure on Arkansas than it is, you know,

78
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: a success with Texas Tech. With that being said, I

79
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: love Florida. I've got Florida winning this whole damn thing.

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: Or resume thirty twenty version.

81
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, Anita, you're breaking up for your

82
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: your broadcast is breaking up right now, all right. I

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: do not want to miss a word out there. I

84
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: will say this. Anita is saying that she loves Florida

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: in this matchup to cover the spread against Texas Tech.

86
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: Of course, a little bit later on we'll get into

87
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: that Duke Alabama. I want to make sure Anita everything

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: is cool so everyone can hear it clearly as we know,

89
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Anita's out there and hoboken. So guys, you got are

90
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: all set? Now? Okay, where we go? Anita? Are you good?

91
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: I'm here, Yes, I don't want to miss anything here.

92
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: You guys listen again. I just I really love I

93
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: really love Florida. I'm going to lay the six and

94
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: a half. They've won nine in a row, They're shooting

95
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: forty seven percent, they were averaging ten three pointers a game. Meanwhile,

96
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: this Texas Tech team, they're one and four against to

97
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: spread their last five games. And again, you know, dramatic

98
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: comeback against Arkansas, with all due respect, but to me,

99
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: really it was more of an Arkansas failure than a

100
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: Texas Tech success. So six and a half might be

101
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: a lot to folks, especially in this day and age

102
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: and where we are in regard to March madness. But

103
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to lay the six and a half. I

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: like Florida.

105
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, the game later today, which is the Duke

106
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Alabama game. This is I believe, only the fourth or

107
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: fifth time in NCAA tournament history the two teams have

108
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: faced each other, both coming off games in which they

109
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: scored at least one hundred points. So it's a very

110
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: rare occurrence. But let's start with Alabama in this one

111
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: right now, Anita, because twenty five threes. I'd never thought

112
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: anyone was ever going to break that Loyola Marymount record

113
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: of twenty one threes back in there, you know, just

114
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: gunning and up days. I was actually at that game

115
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: agent myself as usual over thirty years ago, and I thought,

116
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: we'll never see that again, Like, no one is ever

117
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: going to win make that many threes. They obliterated that

118
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: record twenty by threes. That was a critical loss because

119
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: I had BYU winning that game, But it's Alabama that good?

120
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: Was BYU that bad? And where are we on Duke

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: right now? Who once again won? But it was a

122
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: bit of a struggle this time around.

123
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a few things like so, you know, I

124
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: grew up playing pick up basketball and you remember those days,

125
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: and I'm assuming that you've been out there shoes hoops

126
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: and you're out there and it's just like the basket

127
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: is the size of the ocean. Oh yeah, and it

128
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what you throw up, it's just it's all net.

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: And you hear that, like, I feel like that was

130
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: the zone that Alabama was in and remarkable performance by

131
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: the way, full disclosure I had BYU won that game.

132
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: Really unbelieved performance by Pabama. I have business. I think

133
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: seven and a half points Steve is a lot. Yeah,

134
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: so give me Alabama, give me the points. So probably

135
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: my play here over over seventy three and that's a number.

136
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: Booth teams can still the highest team in the country.

137
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: They don't play defence, and I've got a third place

138
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: and this is a problem that's Cooper. Give me over

139
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: and a half place bounds into combine.

140
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: Hold on Anita once again. We're gonna work on this

141
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: during our first break here because we do not want

142
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to miss I don't know what's going on last week,

143
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: very clear, Anita. We're breaking up a little bit here today.

144
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: But on the Cooper flag you were talking about what's

145
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: the over under on the Cooper flag points for the

146
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: game today. Okay, so we have lost Anita for the moment.

147
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: We will get her back and uh so again as

148
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: far as Duke Galabama was concerned, you know, it's one

149
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: thing for a guy to get hot with three point shooting,

150
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: but the way Alabama was throwing him in. Everyone guys

151
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: off the bench are making all their threes. Mark Sears.

152
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,239
Speaker 1: They how many years has Mark Sears been playing? Martin?

153
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Are you with the Alabama pick in this game to

154
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: cover the spread against Duke?

155
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 3: No, I'm not real.

156
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: With Duke to cover seven and a half, that's a

157
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: big number. I listen, Alabama shot. They shot with fifty

158
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: one from three. We were sitting here watching that game.

159
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: It was incredible.

160
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: Made the same amount of shots as BYU did. It

161
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 4: just didn't matter because everyone that Alabama made was plus

162
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 4: one to all the BYUS two. Look if they show

163
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: fifty one percent from three to go ahead and give

164
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: them the trophy. Now, I just don't see it happening

165
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 4: again against this Duke team and Cooper Flag the over

166
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: under by the way, that he was talking about twenty

167
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 4: four and a half, I believe for Cooper Flag points.

168
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he had thirty in the last game. I

169
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: mean again, this figure is to be a very high

170
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: scoring game. Both these teams top in one hundred points

171
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: a week in their last game. So you know, and

172
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: this is how it's all going to play out. Duke

173
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: the lone acc team to make it into the Sweet sixteen.

174
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: They are my pick to win it all. It really

175
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: pains me. It's really hard for me to root for Duke.

176
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: I was there in carbon on the previous show saying, hey,

177
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: you know there's a possibility of Duke men and women

178
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: both winning the national championship. Yukon did it one year

179
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: with both the men and women. When the same year

180
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: she goes, how cool would that be? And I'm like,

181
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be cool at all unless you're really a

182
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: diehard Duke fan.

183
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: I feel like Duke more than any other school, any

184
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: other team that's just kind of perennially great. They're universally

185
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 4: hated unless you're actually, like, like the Cowboys. I think

186
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 4: people some people have just ambivalent feelings about the Cowboys

187
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: or or maybe you know, some of the other elite

188
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: teams that have been top of the No, everybody hates

189
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 4: Duke unless you went there.

190
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: I have strong dislike for a lot of teams hate

191
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: so hard word all right, Nanita. So we were going

192
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: to go oh over on the twenty four and a

193
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: half points over under on Cooper Flag in this game

194
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: over thirty eight and a.

195
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: Half points, and it's just combined for Cooper Flag, I

196
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 2: like over one hundred and a half total points in

197
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: this and I look Alabama in the seven and a half.

198
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 2: I think this will be closer than that. This might

199
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: come out down to like the last few seconds. Maybe

200
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: you know who has better free throw percentage. I think

201
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: it's going to be a close one later on tonight,

202
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be fun, something worth to stay

203
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: up for.

204
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: All Right, So we got a lot of basketball action.

205
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: We'll get to the games for tomorrow later on in

206
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: the show. Right now, Texas Tech making the first shot

207
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: of the game in this matchup against Florida. Actually, they

208
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: are now lead six to three. Texas Tech with an

209
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: early lead in this matchup, the winner course will be

210
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: the first team to punch their ticket into the Final four.

211
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up on the other side, we had

212
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: a huge matchup in the NBA tonight as we got

213
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Grizzlies. This could well determine home

214
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: court advantage in the potential four or five matchup. And

215
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: why exactly was Taylor Jenkins fired with nine games to

216
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: go on the regular season. I got my conspiracy theory.

217
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down with our NBA insider, Mark Medina.

218

Speaker 1: right now, as we look at the scoreboard, and well,

233
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: I just have to check my updated scoreboard one more

234
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: time here as we have Texas Tech leading Florida eleven

235
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: to ten, or about five minutes into that game. And again,

236
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: that team the wins that game will have the first

237
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: ticket punched into this year's men's Final Four. Let's turn

238
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: to the NBA right now. We got a big matchup

239
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: tonight between the Lakers and the Grizzlies. To join us

240
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: is our NBA insider, the great Mark Medina is joining

241
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: us right now. So Mark, I want to start off

242
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: with a conspiracy theory here on the sudden firing of

243
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: Taylor Jenkins, the GM is saying it was basically his

244
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: sole decision to make this firing official. With nine games

245
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: to go on the regular season, you got two teams

246
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: tied record wise. The Lakers have the advantage in the

247
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: tie break, but this basically could be the game that

248
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: determines home court advantage in a four to five matchup.

249
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: My theory is the NBA is so desperate to get

250
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: the Lakers deep into the playoffs that they ordered the

251
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: firing of Taylor Jenkins to put the Grizzlies in total

252
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: disarray for this matchup against the Lakers today. I know

253
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: it's way out there, but what other explanation can you

254
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: possibly have for why the Grizzlies would do this specifically

255
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: before this key matchup against the Lakers.

256
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 6: Well, Steve, I love good conspiracy theories, but unfortunately, I

257
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 6: don't think that's why the reason the Grizzlies made it.

258
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 6: I think the reason that Grizzlies made this decision is

259
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 6: there's been clearly a philosophical difference with the front office

260
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 6: and Taylor Jenkins on how they want the offense to

261
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 6: be run. Now, why would they do this just before

262
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 6: the playoffs. That part doesn't make sense, but I think

263
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 6: that their thought processes. Sometimes when you make a change,

264
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,119
Speaker 6: there's that adrenaline rush, and let's do it before the playoffs.

265
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 6: But the bottom line is this, I think when you

266
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 6: look at the big picture, Taylor Jenkins was a huge

267
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 6: part of why they've been a good team to begin with,

268
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 6: but they felt as they started getting more and more successful,

269
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 6: they need even more established head coach. But it doesn't

270
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 6: make any sense regardless of the reason for it. And

271
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 6: you know, as much as it's enticing the hero, Okay,

272
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 6: the NBA is pulling the strings because they want the

273
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 6: Lakers to go into the finals. You know, lately the

274
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 6: NBA's marching orders. They want competitive balance so that they

275
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 6: have a lot of good profit margins for all these teams.

276
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: Since twenty eighteen, teams following an in season firing of

277
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: their head coach are three and six straight up.

278
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: Three and six straight up.

279
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: So I just want to share that stat with you.

280
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 6: That's great, that is a great statyeh, five.

281
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: And five against the spread. But nonetheless, you know, based

282
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: on what I'm reading, I'm hearing that you know, there's

283
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: some reports out there that he quote unquote lost the

284
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: locker room.

285
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 7: Is there any truth to that, Well, it could be,

286
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 7: But I think the ironic part about this is that

287
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 7: John Morant was a huge fan of Taylor jackkn It.

288
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 6: Doesn't help that he's been out of the in and

289
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 6: out of the lineup ball season. He's been out the

290
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 6: last six games with his hamstring. But when you look

291
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 6: at this past Stummer, the front office basically imposed it

292
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 6: to Taylor Jenkins to bring in a new coaching staff,

293
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 6: and some of those assistants brought in plays that John

294
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 6: Moran didn't actually like. And so that's that's the ironic part.

295
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 6: There may have been from a team standpoint, the mixed efforts,

296
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 6: and you know, after having a head coach for a

297
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 6: couple of seasons, sometimes the voice is effectiveness isn't as strong.

298
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 6: But again the ironic part is John Morant liked Taylor

299
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 6: Jenkins and he was well respected. So it's almost like

300
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 6: the front office here is kind of chases chasing its

301
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 6: own tail with trying to find a solution.

302
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: Mark When Lebron James went down with the groin injury,

303
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley said that he would not play again the season,

304
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: and as it turns out. He was right, because the

305
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: Lebron James we saw before the groin injury was a

306
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: first team All NBA performer. The guy that we've seen

307
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: since he's come back from the injury bears absolutely no

308
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: resemblance to the Lebron we saw before the injury. Give

309
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: us a status update. I mean, I could not believe

310
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: him talking about how many points they gave up in

311
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: that incredible loss of the Bulls the other night. I'm like, dude,

312
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: that's on you. I mean, I mean yeah, I mean,

313
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: you fail to guard the guy in the corner on

314
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: the three. You literally hand them the ball on the

315
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: inbound pass, you know, and then you know it. Just

316
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: what is going on with Lebron? I mean, is this

317
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: injury more serious? And the Lakers are letting on? Because

318
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I do not recognize this guy. The guy I saw

319
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: before the injury was playing at an incredible level. Now

320
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: he looks like a fifty year old on the court,

321
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: much less a forty year old.

322
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest, I don't think the

323
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 6: injury has anything to do with it. I mean, yeah,

324
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 6: when they came back last week against Chicago ago, he

325
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 6: was rusty. He had a lot of turnovers. But the

326
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 6: second game against Chicago, those were just boneheaded mistakes and

327
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 6: he beat himself up over it. But I mean he

328
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 6: had that last second tip in against Indiana. I think

329
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 6: the broader problems for the Lakers here is that the

330
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 6: defensive effectiveness that they surprisingly shown after the Luka Doncics

331
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 6: trade without Anthony Davis, it's run its course. They can't

332
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 6: have any thought that it's sustainable that they rely on

333
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 6: Jackson Hayes only as their center and they go all

334
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 6: out with a lot of effort everywhere else because they're

335
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 6: a flawed defensive team. Le Bron, Yes, you're always going

336
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 6: to have to watch with a leary ie for a

337
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 6: player that's forty years old in his twenty second NBA season,

338
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 6: But I don't think you know, for better and for worse,

339
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 6: the groin has really anything to do with this, Just

340
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 6: that they're a flawed defensive team and now it's it's

341
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 6: catching up to them.

342
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: Mark, just have a curiosity somebody who covers the NBA

343
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: and has his finger on the pulse of the NBA,

344
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 2: like you. What has been the reaction around the league

345
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: in regard to the Lebron James Stephen A. Smith ordeal.

346
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really sad. I mean there's no winners in this.

347
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 6: The genesis of that it started to where it is

348
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 6: now is just mind bomb point. I mean it started

349
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 6: with steven A talking the thoughts of many, frankly in

350
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 6: the field here about Bronnie James and how he's not

351
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 6: been NBA ready and talking about Lebron and is involvement

352
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 6: with it, and then just kept escalated where you know,

353
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 6: the steven A throws in some fatherly advice and I

354
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 6: think that's where Lebron lost him. And I think since

355
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 6: then it's just gotten uglier and uglier. I mean that

356
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 6: court side spat was did not look good for either

357
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 6: side that, but then for it to be personal and

358
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 6: for them to up to Annie each time, where now

359
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 6: they're talking about having a boxing match. I mean, this

360
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 6: is embarrassing. I'm all about everyone in inquitting myself being

361
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 6: honest with player criticism, but we're kind to the point

362
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 6: where this looks like WWE.

363
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 3: I mean, what are we doing here.

364
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 6: Let's let's talk about basketball. And I would say the

365
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 6: same thing with Lebron. I mean for him to go

366
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 6: on Pat McAfee's show and just not even take direct

367
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 6: shot to Stephen it but throw arrows of Brian Windhorse,

368
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 6: who's been nothing but fair to him his entire career.

369
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 6: It's it's just very it should be very beneath both people.

370
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 6: But I guess that's the times that we're.

371
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: In well taking next level now. Yet added with Silver

372
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: saying enough's enough, the NBA is getting way more criticism

373
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: than any other sport. He's hyper sensitive. I said. My

374
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: answer to Adam Silver is looking the mirror. I mean, yeah,

375
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're the commission in the league and

376
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're getting a lot of negative

377
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: vibe about the league, what are you doing about it?

378
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: That's what I would say to Adam Silver is being

379
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: how much does he make a year? Thirty million, forty

380
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: million whatever he's getting paid, not earning his money right

381
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: now if his league is under siege the way he

382
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: thinks it is.

383
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I mean I think it's fair and it's Look,

384
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 6: I'm a straight shooter here, but you know, when you're

385
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 6: talking about Adam Silver, the league's happy with him. They

386
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 6: got a huge lucrative media rights deal because of that.

387
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 6: But I think the broader point that you're making about

388
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 6: criticism where you draw the line in the sand. Yeah,

389
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 6: you don't bat an eye when a league is praised

390
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 6: or criticized for things on the court. You know, when

391
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 6: it's getting into this deep in the weeds where both

392
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 6: a star player and a very influential media analyst is

393
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 6: making personal attacks at each other, I mean, it's just

394
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 6: very ugly and unnecessary. And so you know, I think

395
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 6: with Adam, you know, he's trying to lower the temperature

396
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 6: a little bit, but the reality is Lebron's got to

397
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 6: be a bigger man in this and Steven A has

398
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 6: got to be a bigger man in this. I mean again,

399
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 6: for it to start where you know, Lebron's taken exception

400
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 6: to Devin a criticizing braun in and and interjecting advice

401
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 6: on how to be a dad. Okay, that's one thing,

402
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 6: but now where it's getting very personal on both sides,

403
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 6: it's just getting it. It's becoming a Kardashian show. And

404
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 6: you know, the last time I tuned into that, that

405
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 6: that was a show that appeals to the lowest common denominator.

406
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: Yes, you hit that one on the mark absolutely, Mark.

407
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: All right, well we'll see what happens tonight. So if

408
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: you listen to Anita again, what is that three and six?

409
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: Straight up? Anita? When a team fires like coach Sam,

410
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna just remember that from Anita Marx right there.

411
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: She's got this one nailed the Lakers, and the.

412
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: Lakers are getting two and a half.

413
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: So stepay, all right, just want it out there, Okay,

414
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: great stuff. Mark is always man. We appreciate the time.

415
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: Thanks so much.

416
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 6: I appreciate you all as always.

417
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: That is Mark Medine, our MBA inside. It's a very

418
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: interesting matchup tonight. And by the way, he still didn't

419
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: have a clear answer Anita exactly why Taylor Jenkins was fine,

420
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: because it doesn't make sense. I think my conspiracy theory

421
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: is well close to the truth. By the way, Tractor

422

Speaker 1: year because so many favorites of one. We'll get into

437
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: that in a little bit, but first let's find out

438
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: what is trending right now. Look at Martin.

439
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: Martin, I just want to give some context to Taylor

440
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 4: Jenkins and Memphis Grizzlies firing. Yeah, none of it will

441
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 4: make the ultimately to spoil my own stuff on myself,

442
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 4: none of it will make the firing makes sense overall.

443
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: But they had lost four of their last five and by.

444
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 4: An average just about seventeen points in eight and twelve

445
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 4: in their last twenty.

446
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, here's the thing. Last year, obviously, Jean

447
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Moran missed all but nine games, so it was a

448
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: whe wipped out season. They've bounced back this year in

449
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: a big way, and he still missed a third of

450
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: the games and they have what forty four and twenty

451
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: nine when nine games to go? Jenkins have really respected

452
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: He's only forty years old, he's been on the job

453
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: six years of Memphis. Just why would you do this

454
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: right before this huge game tonight against the Lakers? Crazy

455
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: or the playoffs?

456
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 4: You know, you think you maybe you know, keep some

457
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: continuity going in, But now this one. It reminds me

458
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 4: of Adrian Griffin when he got fired from the Bucks.

459
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty and thirteen. Remember that you can't hold onto that.

460
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: Doc Rivers, Okay, knock yourself out elsewhere in the NBA,

461
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: the Magic right now have a seventeen to fifty It's

462
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 4: seventeen thirty seventy three.

463
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 3: There you go. That's the number.

464
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 4: Seventy three, two fifty four lead over the Kings here

465
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 4: with seven seven forty two left in the third quarter.

466
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: As Steve said, the Lakers and the Grizzlies will get

467
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 4: started in about an hour and a half, and the

468
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 4: rest of the slate will get started about an hour

469
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 4: and a half as well. For the rest of the

470
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 4: NBA and men's college basketball. We're looking at a twenty

471
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 4: four to twenty one lead for Texas Tech, the three

472
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 4: seed in the lead eight over one seed Florida just

473
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 4: under ten minutes left in the first half. Women's college basketball.

474
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 4: At the half, three seed Oklahoma has a thirty six

475
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 4: to thirty two lead over two seed Yukon in the

476
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 4: Sweet sixteen Regional four for the women's side of things.

477
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 4: The winner of that obviously goes to the Elite Eight.

478
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 4: Texas punchs their ticket to the Elite Eight along with

479
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 4: TCU Texas beating Tennessee, TCU.

480
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: Beating Notre Dame.

481
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 4: Earlier today, Haley Benlitt had twenty six points for the

482
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 4: horn Frogs and what will be her fifth Elite Eight

483
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 4: in college thus far. Major League Baseball, the New York

484
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 4: Yankees pounded the Milwaukee Brewers. Twenty to nine was the

485
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 4: final score. The Yankees hit nine home runs nine times.

486
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: Aaron Judge had three himself. The Angels beat the White

487
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 4: Sox one and nothing. Cardinals over the Twins five to one.

488
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 4: Games in action right now, the Phillies have a ten

489
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: to three lead over the Nationals and the top of

490
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 4: the eighth bottom.

491
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 3: Of the eighth. The Rockies, with a two to one

492
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: lead over.

493
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 4: The Rays top of the ninth tie three to three

494
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 4: between the Pirates and the Marlins. Also the top of

495
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 4: the ninth, the Royals have a four to three lead

496
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 4: over the Guardians. And NFL News, the bill signed to

497
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 4: quarterback Christian Benford to a four year, seventy six million

498
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 4: dollar extension.

499
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,640

Speaker 1: will always pop up at the top of your screen.

512
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: So last week in we were talking about the lack

513
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: of upsets and this year's March madness, and I got

514
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: a text from a buddy of mine and he brought

515
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: up an interesting point. So in College FOOTBA, obviously the

516
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: associated Press puts out a post bowl poll they have

517
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: their own champion after all the bowl games championship games

518
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: are played. But in basketball, their last poll is prior

519
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: to the tournament. They don't do a post tournament poll,

520
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: which obviously would not make any sense. Top nine teams

521
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: in the final AP poll ANITA were Duke Houston, Florida, Auburn,

522
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Saint John's, Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan State, and Texas Tech. That's right,

523
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: eight of the top ranked nine teams save Saint John's

524
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: are in the Elite eight. And I might have been

525
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: a little bit overreacting a week ago to this like

526
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: so many other people, But when I really look at

527
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: this year's tournament, there have been a lot of potential upsets,

528
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: and we had a ten seed Arkansas at a losing

529
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: record in the SEC, should have won that game against

530
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: Texas Tech to get to the Elite aid. I just

531
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: think it's an aberration. I don't think it's fair to

532
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: look forward to neat and say, all right, mid majors

533
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: have been eliminated from ever getting deep into the tournament.

534
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: I just think it's one of those years and it

535
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: was bound to happen where the favorites on the higher

536
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: seeds are basically winning all these games.

537
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: I disagree with you with all due respect. It's a

538
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: different it's a different age. It's a new era with

539
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: these nils. And so what's happening is, you know, the

540
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 2: one in Dun's are no longer. So now you've got

541
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: guys that are staying in, whether it's college football, college

542
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: cap of course, we're talking college basketball right now, they're

543
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: staying longer. Uh, They're utilizing the transfer portal. They're going

544
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: to the teams that are paying them the most money.

545
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: So for me, I took a bath and and moving forward,

546
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: I've learned my lesson. When next next season, Steve, when

547
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 2: I prepare for March Madness, I'm going to take a

548
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 2: look at the at the universities that have the highest

549
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: ni L deals in in offerings, I'm going to look

550
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: more for universe top top universities, ranked universities that have

551
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: more veteran players on them. And and right now, really

552
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: it's it's the SEC. The SEC has bought into n

553
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: i L more than any conference, and it's a big

554
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: reason why they are. They have been so dominant. And

555
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: I want to say last week I shared with you

556
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 2: I actually I have a futures bet out there that

557
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: an SEC team is is gonna win the tournament, and

558
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: I got that. I want to say it like eleven

559
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: to one or thirteen to one. I just I think

560
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: it's I think it's it's it's a new it's it's

561
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: it's a new era. And it's not a good one,

562
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 2: by the way, because I don't know if I'm not

563
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: enjoying this year's March madness because I'm already out of it,

564
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: and by the way, I have all number ones going

565
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: to the final four. What really screwed me up is

566
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: the fact that I picked so many upsets in the

567
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: first round that I'm out of it, right. But I

568
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: don't think that that's going to be the case any longer.

569
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: And what made March madness in this tournament so fun

570
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: and so exciting to watch were those mid majors that

571
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 2: would make the runs and make it to the Elite

572
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: eight and potentially the Final four. We're not seeing that anymore,

573
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: and I think we're gonna say time soon as long

574
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: as well and all this college.

575
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: Well, I my whole thing about the Final four. I mean,

576
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: with all due respect to the Florida Atlantics and the

577
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: San Diego States and schools like that to get to

578
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: the Final four. General interest in those schools making it

579
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: in the final four, unless you are a diehard fan

580
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: of that school, is pretty much zero. When you get

581
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: the elite teams to the final four and you really

582
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: talk about matchups where both teams obviously have a chance

583
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: to win, I think ultimately that plays well for the tournament.

584
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: I look, the reason I'm doing well in the brackets

585
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: this year is because I made a decision about three

586
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: or four years ago, because I was so frustrated at

587
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: missing on my upset picks. Like you know, you're like,

588
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, there's gonna be two twelves to be

589
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: to five, and I picked the wrong two. And so

590
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: finally a couple of years ago, I said, screw it,

591
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take fewer upsets and I'm gonna take more favorites.

592
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: And the last two years it's worked decently, and this

593
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: year obviously it's really played to my favorite picking all

594
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: the favorites. But I just I know what you're saying, Anita,

595
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: and again I respect what you're saying because it's something

596
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: a lot of us been talking about. Now we talk

597
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: about the transfer portal. That's where things get tricky. I mean,

598
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: did I just read the University of Indiana technically has

599
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: no players on their roster right now? Like every one

600
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: of them is either graduated or entered the transfer portal.

601
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: Right now, right like he is one of the most.

602
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: Legendary basketball programs in all the college sports is Indiana basketball.

603
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: But right now either all their players either graduated or

604
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: they're in the transfer portal.

605
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: So so and folks listening like, like, just how much

606
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: college sports has has changed? And that is you know

607
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: a DS athletic directors now are general managers, yes, because

608
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: what is happening is they are handling the nil money.

609
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: So it's it's it's it's just it's so convoluted. It's

610
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: it's like it's it's really it's it's it's I think

611
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 2: it's a mess. I think it's a mess. I think

612
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: it's destroying college sports. Here, let's summon up this way

613
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: shining moment. I would never miss it, Steve, it was

614
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: my favorite thing. At the end of Monday night or

615
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: is it Tuesday night? Monday night, Monday night? Right at

616
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: the end, what happens all right? Yeah, the celebration a

617
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: champion is crowned. But what happens. I'm not going to

618
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: the ladies room because I'm waiting. I want to see

619
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: I want to see the mix, the song and all

620
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: the highlights. I'm not excited.

621
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: What am I?

622
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 5: There's me?

623
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is an aberration. It's not over

624
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: look at if we have like three straight doing that

625
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: the one shining moment, come on now, no, no, no,

626
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: don't give up on this yet. Look, if this was

627
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: like a three year trend, I'd say, Okay, it's not.

628
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: It's one year. One year. And like you said, I'm

629
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: not frustrating because my brackets still looking pretty good right now. Exactly,

630
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: your brackets are not so great.

631
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: It would be one thing if like my all right,

632
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: my back, my brack is busted, but it would be

633
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: it would be another if I was like, yeah, but

634
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: you know what, we've seen some really good basketball. We've

635
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: seen some really good.

636
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: We have seen some good basketball. Did you see Alabama

637
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: twenty five threes? Have you been watching Cooper Flag? Have

638
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: you been watching some of these guys? Look, there's some

639
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: good basketball being played. It's just that it's not coming

640
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: from the unknowns that we saw.

641
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: That's what. But but isn't that why we watch sports?

642
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: They'll be back right why we watch you know, Needa,

643
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna have this conversation a year from now and

644
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna say it, Steve, I was wrong, you were right,

645
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: and they'll say this year, I picked all the favorites.

646
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: I should have gone back to the upsets. I'm telling

647
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: you what what makes.

648
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: What makes sports so great, parody party is what makes

649
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: sports so great.

650
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: Really, I'm gonna I'm gonna get to I'm gonna hold

651
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: you right there on that one because I am very

652
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: much on the opposite side of that. I'll explain why

653
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: on the other side. Plus, I was at the Dodgers

654
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: game last night. I got some interesting observations of Baseball's

655
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: now most hated team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. This this

656
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Saturday. Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio, Steve Harvin,

657
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: Anita Marks here, Fox Sports Saturday. We're coming live from

658
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: the tire rack dot Com studios. All right, So, Anita

659
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: made a comment right before you went to break. It

660
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: just floored me. Anita, when you are saying that, you

661
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: know what we love in sports is parody parity, and

662
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: I well, parody sometimes, but I don't look at it.

663
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: That's way what we love our upsets, and the way

664
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: you get upsets is that you have teams that are

665
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: so dominant or individuals and individual sports that are so

666
00:34:53,960 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: dominant that when they lose, it just absolutely blows us

667
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: out of our seats. I mean, I can still remember

668
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: when Buster Douglas, you know, knocked out Mike Tyson. I mean,

669
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: no one could be Tyson, no one was going to

670
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: beat this guy. He was that dominant, I remember, and

671
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: then this Buster Douglas guy out of nowhere knocks him out.

672
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: Count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

673
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: ten out. And so I believe in the same thing

674
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: in team sports. One of the reasons I mentioned this

675
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: so I'm at the Dodgers game last night. I was

676
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: doing some TV work. I had not been out at

677
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium doing a live shot because most of my

678
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: TV works in studio these days in a while, and

679
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: so I hadn't really been around this team that much.

680
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 1: It was crazy last night they got their championship rings.

681
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: I sent you a picture of what the nice which

682
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: is evalued at about seventy five gram. None of the players

683
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: said they would ever actually wear that ring. You know why.

684
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, putting it out on your fingers ridiculous if

685
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: you can lift your hand. But last night was a

686
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: prime example. Like there was there was a sequence where

687
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: it was two to two and shoheyo, TONI strikes out

688
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: and it was like a right down the middle third strike.

689
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: He turned, he knew he had taken strike three, and

690
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: they're like, wow, I mean, what happened there? Next matter,

691
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets first pitch home run to take the leap,

692
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: and then Mookie Bets, who, by the way, weighs one

693
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five pounds, that's what he said.

694
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: But he has like some kind of stomach.

695
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: Anita, I'm telling you right now, he is so physically tiny.

696
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: He yeah. I mean they're.

697
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 2: Saying like he's got some kind of like something that's

698
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: like eating inside or something.

699
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: Here, here's the thing. He says, he's putting on some weight.

700
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. He still doesn't know what it is.

701
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: He now he's been on a different nutrition situation. He's

702
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 1: put on about five pounds. This guy has like zero

703
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: percent body fat, I mean like zero percent body fat.

704
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: But even at one hundred and sixty five pounds, two

705
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: home runs yesterday, including a walkoff, three run home run.

706
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: But when when you are that team, you know, I've

707
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: been around the Dodgers forever, right, but they've never really

708
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: been that team that they are now, where you're the

709
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: most hated team, and it is interesting to observe how

710
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: they're operating under that banner. I mean, it's very early

711
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: in the season. They're undefeated already, but you can get

712
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: a little sense an air of attitude amongst players. I'm

713
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: not saying it's a negative. It's earned, you know, based

714
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: on what they did last year in the postseason, what

715
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: they're doing so far this year, but now like an arrogance,

716
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of an arrogance. Yeah, And I won't

717
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: get specific on certain people that I've known in that

718
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: organization that I used to you know, have a fairly

719
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: friendly relationship with that has cooled off tremendously, And I'm

720
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: sort of like, you know, looking around, like really like

721
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: you're you know, what doesn't stink anymore? You know. I

722
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: was a little like wow, wow, so I you know,

723
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: but is that bad? I mean, if the Dodgers, if

724
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: the Dodgers make the World Series and some team out

725
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: of the American lenks, you know, huge underdogs pulls the

726
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: upset Boston Red Sox. Well, I know, twenty to one,

727
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: see the Red Sox used to be that underdog. And

728
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: then the Red Sox became the Yankees, did they not?

729
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 5: No?

730
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, well you really you're.

731
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: Looking you're looking at the Boston Red Sox this season is.

732
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: Well not this season, but after they finally broke through

733
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: and won a World Series, all of a sudden, the

734
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: Red Sox became the new Yankees.

735
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: Well, I'm saying this year, this year, if there's a

736
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: team in the American League that can step up to

737
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: the plate no pun intended, and potentially pull the upset,

738
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: I kind of like the Boston Red Sox and you

739
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 2: can get them to win the World Series. Right now

740
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 2: at twenty to one, I'm just trying.

741
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: The Red Sox. Aren't that people don't love them. I mean,

742
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: the team that would be the you know, seemingly would

743
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: be the Guardians formerly known as the Indians. Because I

744
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 1: won a World Series since nineteen forty eight, I don't

745
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: think people get all that jazz about the Red Sox

746
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: winning a World Series again unless you're a Red Sox

747
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 1: fan obviously.

748
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I understand where you're going with that.

749
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm just I was talking like I was talking like

750
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: trying to help the people win some money.

751
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well get me. They're twenty to one. They

752
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: did steal that picture from the White Sox though.

753
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 2: Twenty yeah crochet.

754
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they stole him.

755
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 2: But I understand what you're saying. Here's and spending time

756
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: here in New York and covering the Yankees, and as

757
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 2: you know, they were called the Evil Empire. Yes, you know,

758
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: when you have to go out and you buy a

759
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: championship right when you go out and you now, folks

760
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 2: might be looking at the Mets that way this season.

761
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, well look at they spent it. But

762
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You know, if you are a Yankees fan,

763
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: you're like, who cares? And that's what the Dodgers fans

764
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: are right now. You can cry all you want that

765
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have spent record amount of money to get

766
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: all these all stars on their team, but also makes

767
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: some of the biggest targeted team in the league. Right now.

768
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: All right, well, I have much more on that coming up.

00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Saturday, and we are broadcasting live

774
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: from the ti iraq dot Com studios tyraq dot com.

775
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,479
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you there, and I'm Matt Selection fast

776
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 1: free shipping, free road as a protection over ten thousand

777
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: recommending installers ti iraq dot com, the way tire buying

778
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: should be. All right, So Florida leading Texas Tech right now,

779
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: forty to thirty five. Just seconds ago in the first half,

780
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: Texas Tech got off to a very hot start a

781
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: need in this game. I think there were seven of

782
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: twelve three point shooting out of the box. But now

783
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: Florida has come back and taken the lead in this one.

784
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: And this is a game where you like the Gators

785
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: to cover the spread.

786
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: I do, and that spread with six and a half,

787
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 2: so we'll see.

788
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 5: You know.

789
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 2: The one thing that I really love about Florida is

790
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 2: is their bench is arguably one of the best in

791
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: college basketball. They're just they're uber deep, and they get

792
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 2: so much help from from their bench players, which is

793
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: which is fantastic. So as the game progresses, and maybe

794
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: you know other teams and they're starting five are losing

795
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 2: Gas Florida. You know, they've got a rotation that is

796
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: better than most.

797
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: If you missed the top of our show, Anita does

798
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: like Alabama and the points in the game coming up

799
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: later against a Duke, and then later on in this

800
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: hour to are we gonna get your click on the

801
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: two games that coming up tomorrow? Those will be the

802
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: games that ultimately are going to decide my fate in

803
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: this bracket challenge. And I'll explain that drama, the drama

804
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: of it. It's so rare that I am to the

805
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: Elite eight and still in the conversation. You know, usually

806
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm one of those, you know, first round like okay,

807
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: night night, see you later, tear up the bracket. It's over.

808
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: But I've been hanging in there. I mean the one

809
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: game Arkansas.

810
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 3: Under Texas Tech.

811
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: Oh that was because it wasn't I that I had Arkansas.

812
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: I had Saint John's in that bracket, but everyone that

813
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: was ahead of me had Texas Tech. They got points.

814
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: I got nothing, And.

815
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: It was that that was I was kind of I

816
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 2: was teetering on the fence. So and I know, you

817
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: only have one bracket. We had this conversation one bracket

818
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 2: you're one of those like one bracket, dude, Yes, I've

819
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: got I'm in three different pools, and so in one

820
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: pool I have one bracket, In another I have three,

821
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: and another I have five.

822
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: So and they're all different.

823
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 2: Well, no, I'm the point. No, But the point that

824
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: I'm making is is I went half and half with

825
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 2: that Texas Tech Saint John's.

826
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so so.

827
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 2: I was that was tough, like I was on the

828
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 2: fence there.

829
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: So see, I don't play the lottery, but my attitude

830
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: about the lottery be I would literally pick the same

831
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: numbers over and over again, would you yes? Because what

832
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: if what if you pick like six numbers one week,

833
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: and then you go six different numbers the next week,

834
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: and the six numbers you picked the week before, what

835
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: a one? What a one? If you just stayed with that, you.

836
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 2: Can never sleep again in the rest of your exactly.

837
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: So that's why I only fill out one bracket. I

838
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: might enter the same bracket in multiple challenges, but it's

839
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: the exact same bracket. Yeah, So it's not I don't

840
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: pick two different brackets. I pick one bracket, and then

841
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: I might enter that bracket in one or two or

842
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: multiple competitions. But it's always the same bracket because again

843
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: you're just talking about like, okay, well this bracket, I'm

844
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna pick this team and that brackett I'll pick the

845
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: other team. And then you go back and say, well

846
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: if I had done it, and I can't do that.

847
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, this is more your business

848
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: and eating than mine, you know. I just you know,

849
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm just my business. Well, you gamble on things like

850
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: this because I'm degenerate. Did I wait a second, did

851
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: I use the word degenerate. I never even applied. I

852
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: told you the best man of my wedding was a bookie.

853
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I have been around gambling my entire life.

854
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 2: I gamble, I gmble on darts. Yeah, so that about

855
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 2: sums it up.

856
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 1: I just I am one of those I just don't gamble.

857
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: I hate losing. You know, really, really sophisticated gamblers aren't

858
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: really worried about losing a game. You know it just

859
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 1: you gotta look at the big.

860
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 3: Picture, right.

861
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: This This is how I this is how I explain gambling.

862
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: I always tell people wager what you could afford to lose,

863
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 2: because you're going to lose more than you win. So

864
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 2: why do you gamble? To me, gambling is the price

865
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: of entertainment. I can sit here and I can watch

866
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 2: this Florida Texas Tech game and I can enjoy it.

867
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna enjoy it just.

868
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: A little bit more. I know, look at it, I knownality.

869
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: I wins by seven. Yeah, Like like I'm gonna be

870
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: like you know, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be watching

871
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: and you know it's probably gonna come down to the wire.

872
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: It might even come down to a few free throws.

873
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 2: It might come down to a last second three pointer

874
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 2: that Texas Tech misses in order for Florida cover. Like

875
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: and it's that it's that excitement that you are paying for.

876
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: But again I always tell people gamble responsibly. Gamble what

877
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 2: you can afford to lose, because you're going to lose

878
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 2: more than you win.

879
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't like losing, period, whether I can afford to

880
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: lose or not.

881
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 3: See.

882
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean, like on Sundays, VJ. Husky and I do

883
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: the show VJ and I. He's the kind of guy

884
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: with your mentality on this one, so he does this

885
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: like if we disagree on a game, right immediately as responsees,

886
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: you want to make a bet Like those words, just

887
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: like im meet follow I disagree and make a bet.

888
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: You want to make a bet? You want to make

889
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: a bet for me?

890
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: Probably I would probably bottle of wine, bottle wine steam.

891
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: Oh okay, now we're talking.

892
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, you talk.

893
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: You're talking my language right now, Nina. All right, well

894
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: we'll figure this out at some point. Next time, we'll

895
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: have to actually do our brackets. Headhead. You can do

896
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: one of your fifty brackets. I'll have my one bracket

897
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: and we'll go just you.

898
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 2: Know, we'll do one on one, one on one. I

899
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 2: don't need fifty against you. We'll do one on one.

900
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: How about the betty nods on who's going to be

901
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: the next quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, at

902
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: some point the Steelers have to make a decision, do

903
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: they not in what direction they're going? I mean, now,

904
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm looking at the draft boards

905
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: and showing up at Pittsburgh at twenty one Jackson Dart.

906
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: I know they had lunch with Jalen Milroe. Obviously, we

907
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: still have the Aaron Rodgers situation out there. Could they

908
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: make a deal to Kirk Cousins. What are the betting

909
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: nods right now? And who exactly is going to be

910
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: the weak one starting core or back for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

911
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: Those are offshore. That's how you wager on that. So

912
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: I don't dabble on those offshore sports.

913
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: Okay, well I'm going to le for you right now

914
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: on this show.

915
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 2: You know, here's here's I feel like it's been like

916
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: musical like write musical chairs. Wasn't that game that we

917
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 2: played younger?

918
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 5: Right?

919
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 2: Music turns off and you've got to sit down and

920
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: then like the last person who sits and doesn't have

921
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: a chair, you're out. Yeah, right, I feel like that's

922
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Right. But better question is if you're

923
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, do you because let's let's let's be on

924
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: like at this stage of the game, right, Aaron's forty one,

925
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 2: He's going to be forty two in December.

926
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: Yep.

927
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 2: It's a big investment to start playing for a new

928
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: new franchise, a new organization because he has to go

929
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 2: in there. He has to learn a whole new offense,

930
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 2: he has to ingratiate himself, he has to like be

931
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: that team player, he has to like like establish new

932
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 2: relationships in new reports.

933
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't have his hack at guy hanging out with him.

934
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: No, that's that's another thing. Right, So it's it's, it's, it's,

935
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 2: it's a it's it's a big thing wherever Aaron goes now,

936
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 2: because you're right, he doesn't have Nathaniel Hackett. He doesn't

937
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 2: have an organization who's like, here, here's the keys to

938
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: the car by us. Uh, that's not the session. This is.

939
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 2: This is gonna be very time consuming, and this is

940
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: going to be very He's gonna have to eat some

941
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 2: humble pie, which I don't think Aaron is used to doing.

942
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 2: So there's all of that. If you're Aaron Rodgers, isn't

943
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 2: better to sit back and say pass on the Steelers.

944
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 2: And because we know each and every year there are

945
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 2: teams at least and I and I hate to be

946
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,479
Speaker 2: a negative Nelly, but like we know that there's gonna

947
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 2: be like three or five teams who are going to

948
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: lose a starting quarterback. And at least one or two

949
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: of those five teams are gonna be teams that very

950
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 2: well are trying to win a Super Bowl or at

951
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 2: least make it into the postseason and perform well in

952
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 2: the postseason. So if you're Aaron Rodgers, are you signing

953
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 2: into a Pittsburgh Steelers team that more than likely will

954
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: finish third in the ABC North.

955
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: With all that.

956
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: Commitment, in all of that buying in in time and

957
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 2: blood and sweat and tears trying to incorporate yourself into

958
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: a new franchise. Or are you better to sit back

959
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 2: and wait and see how the dominoes fall in the

960
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 2: NFL when the season begins, and wait for that call

961
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 2: to potentially a Kansas City team or potentially to a

962
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills team who needs a quarterback to come in

963
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: and potentially win a Super Bowl because their quarterback has

964
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 2: gone down.

965
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: Well, I understand what you're saying, but my point is this,

966
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: why would I sign him? I mean, first of all,

967
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: it's not just you could say, well, he still has game,

968
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: and you know, people on social media look at his

969
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: numbers last year with the Jets. You know the numbers

970
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: can be deceiving. I go by the eyeball test. Okay,

971
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers put up numbers in games where they were losing.

972
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: He was not the same quarterbacks, So stop insisting like, well,

973
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,959
Speaker 1: you know, twenty eight touchdowns, eleven picks, he's he's better

974
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,959
Speaker 1: than most. No, And when you when you talk about

975
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: the elite quarterbacks in the league, He's not even anywhere

976
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 1: near that level anymore. So if you were, like you say,

977
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: a team in mid season and you're you're on track

978
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs and you lose your starting quarterback,

979
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: do I really want to bring in all that comes

980
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 1: along with signing Aaron Rodgers?

981
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 2: Beggars can't be choosers?

982
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: Team, Well, if you men be options.

983
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna go, like, if you're the Buffalo Bills,

984
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: who I have winning the AFC East this year.

985
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: And you really want to put up with Aaron Rodgers.

986
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: Listen, I don't. I don't want to put up with him.

987
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if you are a team and you're

988
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 2: an organization where you you are in a really good

989
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 2: situation where you very well could win your division. Therefore

990
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: you were not even not only alone making into the postseason,

991
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 2: but more than likely hosting the first game in the playoffs.

992
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: But he wouldn't even know your offense. He just made

993
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: the point about the fact that does he really want

994
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: to go to Pittsburgh. I'm with you on that one,

995
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: about where he has to learn a whole new system.

996
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to Jolo could come in. Yeah, but

997
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown, I understand the Flacco situation raised a lot

998
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: of And then how did he do in the playoff game?

999
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: He was awful in that playoff game. Look, I just again,

1000
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was a nice story coming off the bench.

1001
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: The guy has never made a Pro Bowl. Do you

1002
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: realize Flacco has never made a Pro Bowl in his

1003
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: entire career, but he has had success in the postseason.

1004
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: And but Aaron Rodgers would not be Joe Flacco. No,

1005
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 1: because the attention that Aaron Rodgers would get just out

1006
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: of the box would be so so much commotion. No

1007
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: one was like, wow, you know people are hovering on

1008
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: Cleveland with Joe Flacca. Was only until he actually started

1009
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: winning games and playing decently that it became a story.

1010
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: With Aaron Rodgers. The story comes the second even make

1011
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: a phone call to the guy. I just I just

1012
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: I would just hope that Aaron Rodgers takes a step

1013
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: back and realize it's it's over. It's over and your coreer,

1014
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: Now wait five years, first ballot Hall of Fame. You're

1015
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: not gonna win a Super no nex.

1016
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, but somebody, somebody who's that narcissistic does not want

1017
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: to end his career in the way that it went

1018
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 2: down in New York. Steve.

1019
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he does down again with another Losy memory.

1020
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: You know, you know what, this is what I think

1021
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 2: the best situation, the best scenario for Aaron Rodgers. The

1022
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers trade Brock Purty and Kyle

1023
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 2: Shanahan brings in Aaron Rodgers. Oh that's what that's okay,

1024
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 2: I think I think I think that's the best. That's

1025
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: the best scenario where I can see Aaron Rodgers having success.

1026
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's save that for Adam Kaplan, all right,

00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: right now. Adam, I'm going to ask you the exact

1058
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: question I just asked Anita. All right, if you had

1059
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: to put money down, I don't know about your gambling habits.

1060
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 3: But cards. I'm a card guy, but gave you.

1061
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: Okay, Glad. But if you had to put money down

1062
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: on who will be the week one starter at quarterback

1063
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers, you would put money on who.

1064
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 3: I wouldn't put on any of them because I'm not

1065
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 3: completely sold on Aaron Rodgers going there.

1066
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm not either.

1067
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 3: Just some stuff that I found out this week. I'm

1068
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 3: not saying he's not for people listening, make it clear.

1069
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:22,280
Speaker 3: I just think he This Minnesota Vikings thing, it's really interesting.

1070
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're aware of this. So their

1071
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 3: GM went on the record and saying, look, they he

1072
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 3: confirmed that they have interested him. I just know the

1073
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 3: way that teams see both. You know, I've talked to

1074
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 3: a lot of people about both teams. Clearly, the Minnesota

1075
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 3: situation is better, better better play caller. Kevin O'Connell, who

1076
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 3: happens to be the head coach, great play designer. You've

1077
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 3: got Justin Jefferson ar Gouna, the NFL's best receiver, clearly

1078
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 3: one of the top three. Addison's pretty good at the

1079
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 3: other receiver, and the Hockinson's a really good tight end.

1080
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 3: They got their left tackle back, Christian Darisol. It's a

1081
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 3: better situation. I just you know this this. You know

1082
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 3: it's out there that it's very clear that JJ McCarthy's

1083
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 3: their future quarterback. But what's also out there is that

1084
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 3: they they had interest in bringing Sam Darnold back Steve

1085
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 3: it just didn't work. They wanted a very favorable structure

1086
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 3: so they can get out of fleet did and play well.

1087
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 3: So they clearly have interested in Aaron Rodgers and he

1088
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 3: is interested in them. I'm I'm not I don't two percentages.

1089
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 3: I've never done that because things could change within a minute.

1090
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 3: But I just found just some stuff I've heard the

1091
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 3: last forty eight hours from really some smart people I trust.

1092
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,439
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna I'm gonna keep this this fightings thing open.

1093
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that Rogers won't signed with the Steelers

1094
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 3: next week. To move this forward here, It's not the

1095
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 3: lock that I thought it was, maybe like five days ago. Now,

1096
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 3: I want to make it also clear before we move

1097
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 3: on the Steelers clearly what Rogers like this is. I

1098
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 3: don't want to say like their whole off seats made

1099
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 3: that they get Rogers, but they're all in on Rogers

1100
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 3: and they are. But whether he's so much in on

1101
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 3: them it is, I wouldn't go that far. He has

1102
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 3: interest in them, but I'm not I'm not willing to

1103
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 3: say he's like one hundred percent going to sign there.

1104
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 3: I'm just not there yet.

1105
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 5: All right?

1106
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 2: Two part question number one? What is the hold up? Then? Like, like,

1107
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 2: what is what is the back and forth in regards

1108
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 2: to the Minnesota Vikings whether okay, if you want them,

1109
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 2: go get them. Obviously they want each other. What is

1110
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 2: the hang up? That's question number two? Question number two

1111
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 2: is if Pittsburgh does not get Aaron Rodgers, what do

1112
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 2: they do?

1113
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 3: So, Nina, they've made it pretty clear that yes, they

1114
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 3: have interested we're about the Vikings here, but they don't

1115
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: want to do anything right now. They want to get

1116
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy in their off season program. You know, he's

1117
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 3: coming back from major knee injury, the miniscus, the full

1118
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 3: miniscus repair that's in his case. This is sixty seven

1119
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 3: month rehab and this is a guy that just a

1120
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 3: couple things. I want to explain. Sam Donald was going

1121
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 3: to be their starting quarterback last season had he not

1122
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 3: gotten hurt like they I could tell you from talking

1123
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 3: to people there, it was pretty clear to them. But

1124
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 3: McCarthy started close the gap a little bit and then

1125
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 3: in the first preseason game he suffers his injury, which

1126
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 3: nobody knew about. He didn't feel right the next day,

1127
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 3: and then it checked out. They were shocked and learned

1128
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 3: that it was going to be the miniscus repair anita.

1129
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: So it's kind of one of these situations like they

1130
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 3: definitely have interest in them, and if it's not, they're

1131
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 3: not all in like Pittsburgh is, Like they have an interest,

1132
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 3: but they struggle with the McCarthy situation because they this

1133
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 3: is their quarterback last year in the first round. So

1134
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 3: that's the hold up if you want to see what's

1135
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 3: not enabling him to go all in, and it's clearly

1136
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy, who again is going to be their guy. Now,

1137
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 3: I want to say one thing with the Stewarts before

1138
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 3: we move on to whatever else we want to talk about.

1139
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 3: Even if they get Rogers a quarterback is still in

1140
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 3: play in the first round. That doesn't change anything. This

1141
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 3: is a this is a one year situation, no matter

1142
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 3: what people think.

1143
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: All right, well, speaking of players or quarterbacks still in

1144
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: play in the draft for a team the New York Giants.

1145
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: All right, so you got Winston, you got Russell Wilson.

1146
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: That's a dynamic duo. Should turn fast. So my question is, now,

1147
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: what are the plans for the Giants with the third

1148
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft?

1149
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 3: You know, I know everyone Steve had Schudeur Sanders and

1150
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 3: my mock that I did for my company inside the Birds.

1151
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 3: I did a visual audio mock draft and Russell Wilson

1152
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 3: does not affect it at all, has no impact on anything.

1153
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 3: The draft has been and always will be about the future.

1154
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 3: It's not about the season. It's about what you're trying

1155
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 3: to accomplish in future seasons. So you know, we need

1156
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 3: to understand that. And Winstan and Roger I mean, Winston

1157
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 3: and Russell Wilson are one year solutions. That's it. And

1158
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 3: we fully expect Russell Wilson to be the starter. So

1159
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 3: right now, I go shout Sanders, but let me put

1160
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 3: an asterisk on that. I'm not so sure that Shuder

1161
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 3: Sanders is the second best quarterback in this draft. There

1162
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 3: are a couple of Jackson darts, a lot of guys

1163
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 3: got a lot of steam. He should go somewhere in

1164
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 3: the second half of the first round. No, I'm not

1165
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 3: buying top ten. But Chyler shall or however he said, Shug,

1166
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly that he's a He's a guy

1167
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 3: who's going to be twenty six years old this fall.

1168
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 3: He's really really well liked Steve. We're going to hear

1169
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 3: a lot more about him as we get closer. You

1170
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 3: we're under four weeks to the draft. He had a

1171
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 3: really good senior ball week. You know, he's transferred from

1172
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 3: a couple of schools. That's why he's older. He has

1173
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 3: some injuries. But this kid could really throw the football,

1174
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 3: and I know a lot of coaches that I've talked

1175
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 3: to really like this player. He's out of Louisville, by

1176
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 3: the way.

1177
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 2: So hypothetically speaking, Kim Ward, as we know, crushes his

1178
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: pro day. Everybody's expecting the Tennessee Titans to take him.

1179
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 2: The Browns are sitting in it too. You know, I

1180
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 2: think the Browns are in a situation where they could

1181
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 2: take Sanders or and we see it time and time again.

1182
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 2: Adam right, like, it.

1183
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 3: Won't be Sanders. I would be I would any I

1184
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 3: feel frey confident in that one.

1185
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, like, there's a team out there that

1186
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure we've seen it, like we're an owner or

1187
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 2: a general manager or coach falls in love with a player.

1188
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: Can you see that happening with Sanders, that the team

1189
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 2: falls in love with it in trades up to two?

1190
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 3: No, he's not. See That's why I was saying earlier.

1191
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 3: He's not the quarterback quite that I thought he was.

1192
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 3: When I started working on this in early January. You know,

1193
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 3: I had some good stuff, and as I got through it,

1194
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know what, he's not as well liked

1195
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 3: by NFL people, not off the field. I'm just talking

1196
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 3: about as a quarterback. It's not as his tape is

1197
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 3: not as good as I thought it was. Like we're

1198
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 3: talking about the game tape, which is everything, Grady's game tape.

1199
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 2: Those two do you hunter?

1200
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 3: I would say, Abdul Carter because this is what the

1201
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 3: late great Gil Brandt told me. You know, the former

1202
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 3: Cowboys personnel man, you know from the sixties seventies, and eighties.

1203
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 3: Gil told me that it's real simple. When you put

1204
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 3: together your value board, it's quarterback, it's offensive left tackle,

1205
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 3: it's it's pass rusher, anita, then cornerback, pass rush. I

1206
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 3: know they've got Garrett, but Carter. You take Carter, and

1207
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:00,439
Speaker 3: they actually, by the way, they have pretty a depth

1208
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 3: at DN or edge rush you know, as it were,

1209
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 3: But you just take the you take the edge rusher

1210
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 3: over it. Now, I want to say one thing here.

1211
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 3: He's got two injury concerns. The shoulder, i'm told, is

1212
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 3: not really a concern. It's minor. But he's got the

1213
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 3: stretch reaction, which is a precursor potentially to a broken foot.

1214
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 3: A stretch reaction, by the way, when you have this injury,

1215
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 3: as I've I've covered this thing now for almost twenty years,

1216
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 3: you've stretched parts of your foot. You stretched the ligaments,

1217
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 3: so that that's a problem. That that's why I was

1218
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 3: discovered in the scans of the draft at the combine.

1219
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 3: I'm still looking into this one to see if not

1220
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 3: only the Browns but other teams are concerned. But I'd

1221
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 3: be very as long as it needed to move this

1222
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 3: along here, as long as Carter's medicals check out. I

1223
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 3: fully expect him to go number two.

1224
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: And inneed, I got to sneak in one last question here.

1225
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Sure are the Cowboys going to give Michael Parsons two

1226
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract?

1227
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 3: Well, they're gonna. He's gonna get a new deal. It's

1228
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 3: the question is one. Is he going to get it out?

1229
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 3: It's impossible to note and see if you and I've

1230
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:05,919
Speaker 3: known each other for a long time, how many times

1231
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 3: we said that they wait to the lest min they

1232
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 3: wind up paying when they want to. I know, it's absurd.

1233
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones is not learned. I don't buy the stuff

1234
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 3: that he doesn't want to win and all this it's

1235
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 3: about show and all that. I get why people say that.

1236
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 3: But the one area Jerry's got to do a better

1237
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 3: job is signing a guy when the you know, the

1238
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 3: iron strikes. And now he's waited so long, he's going

1239
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 3: to have to pay over forty million a season. That's

1240
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 3: just the way it is.

1241
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifty two and a half sacks and sixty three

1242
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: career games.

1243
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 3: Phenomenal football player. And you know what's crazy is that

1244
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 3: he he started his career as an inside backer for

1245
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 3: Penn State and they weren't totally sure how to use him.

1246
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 3: But late in his career with Penn State, he became

1247
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 3: an edge rusher. And I give Dan Quinn, the now

1248
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 3: Washington head coach, who was his first defense coordinator, and

1249
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 3: he said, no, he's not an inside backer. He's an

1250
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 3: edge rusher. That was a great decision.

1251
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: Great stuff as always, And you know we've been saying

1252
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: for three weeks, now, is this the week that we're

1253
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna see Aaron Rodgers sign.

1254
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 3: We'll just I don't make that prediction, my man. No, No,

1255
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 3: here's why, because it's real simple. They're on his timeline,

1256
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 3: the Steelers. Let's let's talk about them. He's a very

1257
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 3: mercurial guy to see, as you know, he's just a

1258
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 3: different guy. And I didn't feel despite those rumors about, oh,

1259
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: he could sign this week, I'm not sure what that

1260
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 3: even means. Yeah, I mean he could. He could wake

1261
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 3: up tomorrow and sid he's not gonna play football.

1262
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: So I could have, would have should have. We've heard

Speaker 2: There you go.

1361
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm very very partial Ducks. But today I need Florida

1362
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: and Duke. Okay, so the one seats and it's not

1363
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,600
Speaker 1: going to be easy, because I agree with you, Alabama

1364
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:02,560
Speaker 1: is going to be Really I can't believe Duke is

1365
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: what seven and a half point favorite in that game?

1366
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: Is that right?

1367
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 2: Yep? Alabama's getting seven and.

1368
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 3: A half Yep?

1369
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: That is amazing to me after what Alabama did against BYU.

1370
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: But I really, my my focus is tomorrow's games because

1371
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: this is where I need upsets. So I am I

1372
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:28,640
Speaker 1: have in my bracket Tennessee and Michigan State, meaning the

1373
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 1: two seeds knocking out the one seeds Houston and Auburn, respectively.

1374
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: Let's start with that Tennessee Houston game. Eyeball test tells

1375
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: me right now, even though Houston is a slight favorite

1376
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: in this game, Tennessee's been playing better basketball than what

1377
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: I've seen from Houston so far in this tournament.

1378
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 2: So just meriting in this for a minute. The last

1379
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 2: time Houston lost a game the Kansas City Chiefs were

1380
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 2: still Super Bowl champions, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been

1381
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,720
Speaker 2: it's been that long. Thirty three and four. They went

1382
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 2: ten and zero on the road, which is really really impressive.

1383
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 2: Right now, that line is two and a half, I

1384
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 2: would lay it. I do believe Houston's defense wins championships,

1385
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,600
Speaker 2: and not just in the NFL, obviously in college basketball

1386
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 2: as well. They just they're so damn good, right, And

1387
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 2: I do believe this is going to be a rock fight.

1388
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 2: If you want to play the under at one, twenty

1389
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 2: three and a half not going to be bad at you.

1390
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 2: Tennessee is excellent difference defensively as well, Ken Palm number

1391
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 2: three nationally, Houston number one nationally. Houston, as we know,

1392
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 2: holding opponents to fifty eight points per game. So if

1393
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 2: you want to play the under that, you know, again

1394
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 2: solid play. But for me, Houston minus two and a half.

1395
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 2: I think Houston gets the deal done here.

1396
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: All right. So if that game doesn't eliminate me, then

1397
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,759
Speaker 1: I'll be turning my attention to the second game tomorrow,

1398
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: which is Auburn, who was recognized most of the year

1399
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: as the best team in the country and then they

1400
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: stumbled a little bit down the stretch with a couple

1401
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: of tough losses going against tom Izzoa Michigan State, and

1402
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: of course when it comes to Tom Iszoh, he's been

1403
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 1: to the Final four eight times. It's been a while,

1404
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: but he's got a good opportunity to make it nine.

1405
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: Auburn about what about a four and a half point

1406
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: favorite in this game? Anitas, So where do you stand

1407
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: on this Auburn Michigan State matchup?

1408
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, out of all four of these games, this is

1409
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 2: the one to me that's most difficult. And I do

1410
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 2: have in my bracket that is busted. I do have

1411
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 2: Auburn advancing. Again, as you know, I've got all number

1412
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 2: ones heading to the Final four. Auburn is favored by

1413
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 2: four and a half. I just I think I think

1414
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 2: Izzo is found lightning in a bottle, especially considering he's

1415
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 2: coaching a lot of freshmen and they have welcomed the

1416
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 2: big stage. Auburn and you and I talked about it

1417
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 2: last week. Their average age I think comes in around

1418
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty five. The average age player who's

1419
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:10,600
Speaker 2: playing for Auburn is higher than Okac Thunder in the NBA.

1420
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 1: That's a great stat So you're.

1421
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 2: Talking about a Michigan State team that's got a lot

1422
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 2: of young guys who are just like going through puberty,

1423
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 2: going up against Auburn whose average age is more than

1424
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 2: an NBA team. I do believe Auburn wins here, but

1425
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 2: to me, four and a half is a lot like

1426
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,639
Speaker 2: I think this could be a one point game. I'm

1427
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 2: just I'm staying away from it. I do not have

1428
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 2: a play here. At the end of the day, I

1429
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 2: think Auburn wins. So if you want to play Auburn

1430
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 2: on the money line, all the power to you. If

1431
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 2: you want to go into tomorrow and say, Okay, I'm

1432
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 2: going to play Houston and Auburn on the money line

1433
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 2: as a two team parlay, That's probably how I would

1434
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 2: handle Sunday Funday.

1435
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of age, I'm just thinking about this.

1436
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: The four coaches coaching tomorrow, Rick Barnes, Kevin Samson, Tom

1437
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 1: is Oh, Bruce Pearl, I'll put it this way, their

1438
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: average age is older than me. And that's saying something.

1439
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: I think Pearl's the only one younger than me. It's

1440
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: just isn't amazing about these coaches at the collegiate level.

1441
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: But you know, you look at a guy like Izzoe

1442
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: and you talked about all the freshmen, how's he doing

1443
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: it still? I mean seriously, I mean some of his

1444
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: contemporaries have finally just thrown up their hands saying, I

1445
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 1: just don't want to deal this. I mean this transfer

1446
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: portal and the NIL And you know, it's not like

1447
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: it was where I recruit a kid out of high

1448
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: school and I get him for two, three, four years,

1449
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 1: and you know I can build a team around that.

1450
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, I don't have to only

1451
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: have to recruit players to come into my program. I

1452
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: have to recruit players to stay in my program. It's

1453
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: absolutely nuts. But here we got four veteran coaches tomorrow

1454
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: that are still at it and obviously doing it at

1455
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: a very high level.

1456
01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 2: Again, I know we talked about it last week and

1457
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 2: I'm pairing apples to oranges here in regards to the

1458
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 2: college basketball and college football. But I'm really intrigued to

1459
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 2: see what happens with Bill Belichick at U and C,

1460
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 2: because you and C is not a program that has

1461
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,839
Speaker 2: bought into NILS. Now they I want to say, they're nil.

1462
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 2: Pool right, is solid but not competitive in college football.

1463
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 2: So it's Bill Belichick. What what is you and C selling?

1464
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 5: You?

1465
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 2: And C selling is selling Bill Belichick and Michael Lombardi,

1466
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 2: they're selling NFL coaches. So come to you and see

1467
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: be coached and get the experience as if and we're

1468
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 2: going to prepare you for the NFL like no one other.

1469
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 2: But they don't have the dollars. Steve, So I'm really like,

1470
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:57,440
Speaker 2: I find the whole Bill Belichick, you and C situation

1471
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 2: fascinating to me because now we're really gonna see how

1472
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,639
Speaker 2: good of a coach is Bill Belichick because he's not

1473
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 2: going to have the top tier players because UNC does

1474
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 2: not have the money that the other teams have to

1475
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 2: bring in the top players. But is Bill Belichick's coaching

1476
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 2: going to take you in, see over the top and

1477
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 2: get them into the postseason? To me, that's going to

1478
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 2: be one of the biggest storylines heading into next college

1479
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:27,759
Speaker 2: football season.

1480
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Well and rightfully so he'll be on our microscope. I mean,

1481
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 1: he's made that the situation for himself by doing that

1482
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: all right right now, Texas Tech leading Florida fifty to

1483
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: forty six, thirteen and a half minutes to go in

1484
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: the second half in that game, we'll put a little

1485
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: bow on this one. When we come back. This is

1486

01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 1: shifts seats. That's the way he does it around here,

1491
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: which is it's always brilliant. Mary mac good spins today.

1492

Speaker 1: what she's gonna throw.

1494
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,719
Speaker 2: I was just I was just thinking that. I was like, wow,

01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: completely opposite me, and today it's obviously completely opposite. Not

1498
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 1: that I'm not getting an education, thank you very much.

1499

Speaker 1: of the show. I told you it's gonna get fixed.

1502
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: That's what happens. That's that's what we call producing this show.

1503
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: Great job.

1504
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 3: I think it was.

1505
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 2: I think it was my fault.

1506
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 1: No, it's never your fault.

1507
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 2: No, No, I really.

1508
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: Am right now. Texas Tech leading Florida fifty five to

1509
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: fifty three.

1510
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm nervous. No, I laid the six and a half.

1511
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 2: I'm not nervous. I'm not scared.

1512
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: You get twelve minutes to go. It's a lifetime in bass. Hey,

1513
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 1: I know you brought this up earlier when we were

1514
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: talking to Mark Medina about the stephen A Lebron James thing.

1515
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: I've worked with stephen A. He actually was here at

1516
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio for a time and we did shows

1517
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: together and he was great. You know, he's a very

1518
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: different personality, you know, in person than he is on television, which,

1519
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: by the way, is not uncommon. I always like when

1520
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,759
Speaker 1: people say, gee, you're the same obnoxious person everywhere. It's amazing.

1521
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:32,799
Speaker 1: But anyway, see here, here's why I go against stephen

1522
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 1: A in this thing. Was was Lebron James right to

1523
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: confront him in public? And the answer is no, he wasn't.

1524
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he knows stephen A. Smith obviously, and he

1525
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: could have called him and said, dude, I'm not happy

1526
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: with you. It would never have been public. But stephen

1527
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 1: A is the one that escalated this thing. I mean,

1528
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 1: he could have been asked about it and he could

1529
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: have said, you know whatever, you know, Lebron said to me,

1530
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: is between us, and that could have been the end

1531
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: of it, but then it became a back and forth

1532
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: because you know, it's sort of your instinct, you know,

1533
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: when you're a high profile guy, highest profile guy in

1534
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: a sports network, obviously making more money than anyone else,

1535
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,679
Speaker 1: and you're under immense pressure to get people to talk

1536
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 1: about you. One way to talk about you is to

1537
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,759
Speaker 1: hook your horns to the biggest name in the NBA,

1538
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: who is Lebron James. So my feeling was is that,

1539
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, some people are trying to lay blame at

1540
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,639
Speaker 1: Lebron's feet. He wasn't right to do what he did

1541
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: in the beginning, but everything that's happened since then, to me,

1542
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 1: is right at the feet of Stephen A. Smith.

1543
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,639
Speaker 2: At any point in time since this has all gone down,

1544
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 2: have you for one second taken a step back and

1545
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,759
Speaker 2: said this is all staged?

1546
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: Well, what for?

1547
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 2: Be honest, but for one second, have you ever.

1548
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: Said, you know what I think in the beginning, yes,

1549
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: but at some point it's like, all right, you know,

1550
01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: it's getting old, Like I mean, initially interesting because yeah,

1551
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: you got confronted and then you had a little comeback,

1552
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: and but then then then it's just you know when

1553
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: you talk when you're going on somebody else's show and

1554
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:11,720
Speaker 1: talk about, yeah, you know, I would have taken a

1555
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: swing at the Guys.

1556
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 2: Show though, Steve.

1557
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: I know Pat McAfee, I know.

1558
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 2: Who is the who's a fellow employee, step A Smith.

1559
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: And I mean when he says, yeah, if Lebron had

1560
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: put his hands on me, I would have taken a swing,

1561
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 1: Like really, really would you have?

1562
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 2: He would have got his butt kicks.

1563
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, stephen A would not do that,

1564
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,679
Speaker 1: Like I said, what that's That's That's why I'm throwing

1565
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 1: it out there because again, as someone had interaction with

1566
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: Steven A, did some shows with stephen A, that's not

1567
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: who he is at all. He's just not I mean,

1568
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: that's that's a TV persona thing like you say, playing

1569
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: up to Pat McAfee. Who doesn't he have w W

1570
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:59,759
