1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up 2 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam? It's me Jason McIntyre here on Straight 3 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: Fire or Monday August six. It's getting close, folks, getting 4 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: close to football. A lot of football over the weekend, 5 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: little preseason action. Who doesn't love preseason action? It got 6 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: me so many texts about, hey, j when is the 7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: fantasy football league starting? Because I'm in multiple fantasy leagues, 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: and of course people want another draft when preseason games 9 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: are happening. I had some people texting me about wagers day. 10 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: Are we Are you betting on any preseason any you're 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: getting down anywhere? I was like, no, no, why, I 12 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: don't recommend that. But by the way, I do recommend 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: the New York Jets. I I told my buddy to 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: take the Jets against the Giants. I didn't lay it myself. 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: Jets obviously where a good pick. They covered. The Giants 16 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: are just playing all kinds of rookies. But I'm not 17 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: allowed to talk about the you know, the more abundant 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: New York Jets this early in the podcast. I will say, um, 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: it was a fun weekend for me, although I will 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: just say a quick travel note had to fly Southwest 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: Airlines for the first time in a long time. Not 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: a fan at all. It's just too willy nilly with 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: the like you could sit anywhere and like that just 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: led to some uncomfortable situations on the flight, not for me, 25 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: for other people. And I'm just like, I know, I 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm just not not a huge fan of Southwest. I 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: do know other people swear by it. My brother swears 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: by it. Um, but I will not be flying across 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: country with Southwest again. You can take that to the bank. Also, 30 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: the multiple delays, which I hate more than anything onto 31 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: what actually matters. And by the way, there is going 32 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: to be an NFL nugget later in the show that 33 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna love. I don't think anybody even 34 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: noticed this that happened over the weekend, but NFL ruled 35 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: the roost and you know the I guess the big 36 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: headline from the first weekend of preseason was it was 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: a bad weekend for veteran quarterbacks. Everywhere you turn a 38 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: vet quarterback was looking over his shoulder like, damn, I 39 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: might not win this job. I mean, Andy Dalton is 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: the big one. Justin fields was was pretty good. Um. 41 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: I think Teddy Bridgewater thought that the job was gonna 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: be his. And I'm telling you, guys, I like Drew Lock. 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: I picked him Friday on Cowherd Show. I said, he's 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: gonna win the job. Things are lining up from my broncos. 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: They're not gonna win the super Bowl like I bet on, 46 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: but Drew lock is gonna win that job in Denver. 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: He's the guy for that offense. I mean, they have 48 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: some guys. They got some burners on the outside, and 49 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: Drew Locks got the big arm. He looked good. You 50 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: could go back to Thursday. Mac Jones looked pretty good. 51 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean the Patriots fans, I think he've a standing ovation. 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: They were so thrilled. Um. And then the one that 53 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: was a little tougher was Trey Lance had like an 54 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: awesome ad yard pass that everybody on social media shared. 55 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean he had enough time to complete like his 56 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: MBA in the pocket. You know he's only twenty one 57 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: years old. I mean he's just back sitting back there 58 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: easy to make the make the read ad R touchdown 59 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: pass and everybody got excited. I'm just I don't think 60 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: Trey Land starts Week one. I would be stunned if 61 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: he started Week one the others, it's probably gonna be Fields. 62 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Drew Lock. Increasingly, I think 63 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Mac Jones. We talked about some of 64 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: these with Albert Brewer last week on the pod. Also, 65 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: by the way, couple um pretty good guests. We have 66 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: lined up this week, pretty good slate of guys. And 67 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: to go back to last week for a sec um. 68 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson made his debut over the weekend. My guy 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: the Mormon Mahomes, and if you remember, a guy by 70 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: the name of Shaun King who quarterbacked in the NFL, 71 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: came on this here podcast and said that the Mormon 72 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: Mahomes would be a bust. And Kellen Mond, Kellen Mond, 73 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: and Kyle Trash. Kyle Trask was awful over the weekend. Again, 74 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: it's preseason week one, nobody's reading any into anything, really, 75 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: he and he slams Zack Wilson, and all the Jets 76 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: fans that followed me really went after him. I felt 77 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: a little bad for Mr King. He was just getting 78 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: obliterated for like three days on social media. And Zack Wilson, 79 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: by the way, look pretty good six of nine sixty 80 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: three yards. I think a couple of scoring drives, maybe 81 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: just one um and what what impressed me was like 82 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: a third down and he's back in the pocket. He 83 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: didn't have the happy feet these he's some young quarterbacks have. 84 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: He looked poised back there. Does look a little small, 85 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: especially when you have the statuesque Trevor Lawrence, who I 86 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: thought looked all right. Uh, jacks did not look particularly good. Um, 87 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: But I I would say my biggest takeaway was that 88 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: Justin Fields looked really really impressive, Like Justin Fields when 89 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: he was on the field, you know, Andy Dalton started 90 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: and then came over and told Justin Fields you ready, 91 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: you know you going to in? Justin Fields got all excited. 92 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: It was pretty cool moment and Fields had some composure. Uh. 93 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: And that's really what you're looking for, not that the 94 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: moment is too big, that you're going through the progressions, 95 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: you're not forcing anything. Justin Fields we know it can 96 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: tuck and run and he's gonna have to behind that 97 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: offensive line, which is very very bad. And if it's 98 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: a bonus for Justin Fields, Like Andy Dalton is not 99 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: as mobile as he was back in his Bengals days. 100 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: He got killed last year behind the Cowboys offensive line. 101 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Justin Fields had a rushing touchdown against the Dolphins and 102 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go in on toa but I will 103 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: have a word on the Dolphins at a moment. And 104 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: Fields just looked like he had total command of things 105 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: like Okay, I'm gonna talk and run, Okay, I'm gonna 106 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: throw it on the run. I'm doing this, that and 107 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: the other Like, Justin Fields was impressive. Man. I think 108 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: he made a push to be the Day one starter. 109 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: I don't particularly think highly of the Bears this year. 110 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: I think there'll be a notch below five Hunter, but 111 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: I like Justin Fields. And the other guy was really 112 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: impressed with was Drew Lock, who really got a raw 113 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: deal last year. Now, if you read my Fox Sports column, 114 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: uh my off season blueprint last year, I said Drew 115 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: Lock would struggle. He's gonna face tough defenses. Oh and 116 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: by the way, there was COVID and oh, by the way, 117 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: the Courtland Suttland got the best receiver got hurt in 118 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: Week one, like Drew Lock had no chance last year 119 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: and then he got hurt this year. Offensive line improved 120 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: offensive line last year was a disaster. Courtland Sutton healthy. 121 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: They add kJ Hamdler, who, by the way, caught a 122 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: bomb from Drew Lock over the weekend. Uh Noah, fans 123 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: are really good tight end, Like everything's lining up for 124 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: Drew Lock. Like you're gonna have to defend this team 125 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: at all three levels, Like true Lock can uncork a 126 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: sixty yr bomb, Judy Hamdler, Uh Sutton, they can all 127 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: run and fan underneath. Like this team is good, even 128 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: Tim Patrick who showed well last year, um when everybody 129 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: else was hurt. Like I like this Broncos team. I 130 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: don't obviously not. They're not winning the a f C West, 131 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: but it and this is a weird thing. And I'm 132 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: sure Rob g will check me on this, but like, 133 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, I didn't come away from preseason week 134 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: one really down on any teams, like everybody's like, oh, 135 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: I can see this being a thing. I can see 136 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: these guys being good. Oh, Like it's optimism reigns for 137 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: all thirty two teams and you just don't get that 138 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: in any other sport. In Major League Baseball, hell, two 139 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: thirds of the league has doesn't spend any money on salary. 140 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: They got no chance none. The NBA is expanding. I mean, 141 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: how many half the over half the league gets into 142 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Uh. The NBA, everybody opens the season, can 143 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: we get to the playoffs? The NFL is legitimately the 144 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: one league where every year you feel like somebody can 145 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. You can't build a case for 146 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: me that in the NBA the Houston Rockets can make 147 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs, or even like the Pelicans. I mean there's 148 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: like at least a third of the league has no 149 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: shot at the playoffs in the NBA. In the NFL, 150 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: in all honesty, you can build a legit case that, Wow, Jacksonville, 151 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: they can make the playoffs. Listen, I could build one 152 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: from my Jets. I'm gonna spare you that the Jets 153 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: can make the playoffs. But the optimism around these quarterbacks, 154 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: listen Mac Jones on Thursday, look pretty damn good. That's 155 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: probably the biggest quarterback controversy will have. And I do 156 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: need to add Jordan's love in his UH debut as 157 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: a packer, not bad. I mean he didn't look like, 158 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, he didn't vomit all over himself in the pocket. 159 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: He didn't look like a total nube who had no 160 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: clue what he was doing. I came away almost impressed 161 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: with everybody and the name I'll I'll leave you with. 162 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: And when the injury to Carson Wentz happened, I said, 163 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they trade for anybody. Jacob Eeson looked 164 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Now it was only against the Panthers. 165 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: He had nice touch on his deep ball, but again 166 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: he didn't look flustered like. It's not like the speed 167 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: was too much for Remember, jacob Eeson was a big 168 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: time high school recruit, massive, like five star guy. Everybody 169 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: wanted him, and then it just never really took shape 170 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: for him. Uh. He went Georgia, then Washington, fell in 171 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: the draft a little bit. But he's got the arm 172 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: and looks the part in the pocket. He's one of 173 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: these six five kids with the cannon on howitzer on 174 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: his shoulder, and I thought he looked good. Listen, I 175 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: don't particularly love the Colts in the first five weeks. 176 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: The schedules daunting, the offensive line is banged up, But 177 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't think they go out and trade for anybody. Um, 178 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: rob G, was there a quarterback that impressed you over 179 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: the weekend? New World? Um? You know, I was mostly 180 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: focused on the rookie quarterbacks, you know, because I wanted 181 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: to see what I hadn't seen yet. I've seen Drew Lock, 182 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: I've seen J. D. Bradge writers. I wasn't too interested 183 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: in that. I will say the one who I was 184 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: least impressed with, even though it happened later last week, 185 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: not really over the weekend, was Mac Jones, And interestingly enough, 186 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: he's the one that I'm most confident in getting the 187 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: starting gig relatively early. Like I know, Zach Bilson is 188 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: going to be the starter because no, no, no, no, 189 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: like you know za Zack Wilson's gonna be starting because 190 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: they have nobody else. But I think that mattnegge In 191 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: in Chicago's gonna be a little stubborn. He's gonna stick 192 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: with Addie Dalton at least a week or two longer 193 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: than he should. You know, Trevor Lawrence is obviously gonna 194 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: be starting because they have nobody else. I don't think 195 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: any that competition know that that car quarterback compet Titian 196 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: is by the way, what's his name? Urban Meyer is 197 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: not by the way, is not saying who's getting the 198 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: job week one. I mean, we all agree it's got 199 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: to be Trevor Lawrence, but he has not Yeah, it's weird. 200 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: He'll give a he'll give a spot on the roster 201 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: earlier Tim Tebow who will get too shortly, but he 202 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: won't name QB One, got it right, right, That's that's 203 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: the college coach, you know, mindset. Well, you know we're 204 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: competing every day. No you're not. You're not competing. You 205 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: know that there's there's salary cap implications as to why 206 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: you are going to start Trevor Lawrence. But you know, 207 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: really between Fields Jones and and Trey Lance, Like I said, 208 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: the one I was least impressed was with Mac Jones. 209 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: I didn't think that he really did a whole lot 210 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: that made me excited about his his play. But Cam 211 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: Newton just is not Cam Newton anymore. And you could 212 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: tell immediately that if he doesn't have that explosive ability 213 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: to run the ball, I don't trust him as a passer. 214 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: So I think, by default, I think that he's going 215 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: to be the one who's in these quote unquote competitions 216 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna be uh Jone is gonna be the one 217 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: who starts out of that group. Yeah, I don't even 218 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: know if Belichick wants to run the ball, given his 219 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: offseason moves of two tight ends Jonny Smith and Hunter 220 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: Henry adding Nelson aglare former Raider. Um like they're good. 221 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna open it up. I listen. 222 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: I'm not a huge believer in mac Jones as a prospect, 223 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: but with uh McDaniels and Belichick, like, those are two 224 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: guys who kind of sort of no football like any 225 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: quarterback you get. It's like Kyle Shanahan, he got Trey Lance. 226 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not a huge believer, but guess what's 227 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: gonna make anybody look good? Like that's what he does. Um, 228 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: rob G. I will say I could tell you over 229 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: the weekend Jerry Jones was muttering F bombs at one point. 230 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: You want to know what point that was? Sure? When 231 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: Patrick Certain of the Broncos gotta pick six. That was 232 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: the guy, by all accounts, that Jerry Jones really wanted. 233 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: They circled the quarterback. They needed a quarterback badly. Patrick 234 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: Certain was his guy, you gotta pick six. In his 235 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: preseason and debut um against the Minnesota Vikings, Patrick's I'm 236 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: telling you, guys, just keep an eye on the Broncos. 237 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm putting that out there I know they're 238 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: in your division with the Raiders. Everybody loves Justin Herbert 239 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefs or super Bowl bound probably for the seventeenth 240 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: year in a row. Like I'm just saying, this Broncos 241 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: defense is gonna be a problem. That would be a 242 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: team I'm looking to bet on early and often. Fox 243 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 244 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot 245 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app search f 246 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: s R to listen live. All right, Rob, we need 247 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: to quickly talk about Tim Tebow because he had an 248 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: UM I was trying to think of like a big 249 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: word to impress you guys for Tim Tebow's debut, like 250 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: inauspicious or terrible. Uh, Tim Tebow, it just was not 251 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: a good opener for him. And listen, I've been keeping 252 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: up for Tebow, no bones about it. I am rooting 253 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: for him. I think he'll make the cut this week. 254 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: I think there's cuts on Tuesday. Um, Tebow had one 255 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: whift block that was like not great. Uh, it wasn't ideal, 256 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: And on the very next play he really got just 257 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: ragdalled by a defensive lineman and gave up a sack. Uh. 258 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: Dropping the Sorry, not a sack. They dropped the running 259 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: back two yards behind the line of scrimmage on like 260 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: third down. It was just like, can this guy block anybody? Like? 261 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: Can can Tebow really be a blocking tight end? I 262 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't know the one past that was thrown his 263 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: way Tavon Austin. Remember that guy drafted in the top 264 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: ten by the Cowboys or no, maybe it was a Rams. 265 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: I think it was a Ram. Sorry, the Rams drafted 266 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: in the top ten. Uh. Tavon Austin stepped in front 267 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: of the past for Tebow and snagged it. Um. So, 268 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: not a great debut from Tebow. I still think listen, 269 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: we talked about it. Relationships matter. You know what you're 270 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: getting in Tebow. He he didn't have a good, good opener. 271 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: He has a play tight ended his life. He's thirty three, 272 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: cut the mans some slack, you know, Urban Meyer will 273 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: he'll be better. Tim Tebow's a worker unless he decides, 274 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: hey man, this is just not something I can handle. 275 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: This is above my pay grade. I'm done as a 276 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: pro athlete. That maybe WAPs it up. But I think 277 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: Tebow gets another shot, and um, I think he'll be better. Rob. 278 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: Do you have any deep thoughts on Tebow or not really, 279 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: you just want to take a dump on him like 280 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: everyone else. I'm not gonna take a dump on him, 281 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: but let me just say that if urban Meyer decides 282 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: that he's gonna roll Tim Tebow out there, I'm sure 283 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: he watches the film better than than even as casual 284 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: fans and casual media members do. He has to know 285 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: that he would lose members in the locker room if 286 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: he keeps Tim Tebow on the roster. By all accounts 287 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: from everyone the roster, I mean, it sounds like he's starting. No. 288 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: By all accounts from everybody who covers the team is 289 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: in around the area, Tim Tebow is a fish out 290 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: of water. Like I know, when they released that unofficial 291 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: depth chart, he was listed as as fourth and that 292 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: was the headline, Oh, Tim Tebow fourth string on the 293 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: depth chart until you talk to people who are around 294 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: the team to say, actually, it's Tebow or this guy 295 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: or this guy, so you can technically say that he's sixth. 296 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: He's sixth string, not fourth string. And by the way 297 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: that he's performing, apparently he is not very good. You 298 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: know he he you mentioned, he's a thirty three year 299 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: old guy who's not in the best shape that of 300 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: his career that he's been. You know, usually at this 301 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: age they're on the back end of their career in 302 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: the NFL, and he's playing a position he's never played before, 303 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: So you'd be hard pressed to expect that he's gonna 304 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: be better, Like he's gonna have this untapped potential that 305 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: the other guys might have. I don't see it well. 306 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: I mean you you probably don't remember trying out for 307 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: sports as a young guy, um, but I certainly do. 308 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: Because I didn't make um, you know, the basketball team 309 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: as a freshman and I was just crest fall. I 310 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: legitimately went and talking thinking why don't I have a 311 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: shot here? Like, sure I might. I didn't play club 312 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: or at AU or anything like that. Was just like 313 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: a guy who played in rec leads and I was 314 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: not dominant by any way, shape or form. Um. But 315 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: I thought like I had a chance. And then you 316 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: go in and you're nervous as hell because the coaches 317 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: are watching and you're like you're you're doing the layoup 318 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: line at the beginning just to warm up, and you miss. 319 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: If you just happen to roll a layup off, You're like, oh, shoot, 320 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. But like I know, this isn't Tim 321 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: Tebow's first rodeo. But you have to wonder if playing 322 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville in front of a large contingent of Tebow 323 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: fans and friends, like maybe he was a little nervous. 324 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna cut the guy some slack. I do 325 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: like to give people slack. Rob G does not, like 326 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: That's just how he operates. Um, So I'm gonna give 327 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Tebows the slack, and I hope he is better in 328 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: UH in week two because he certainly needs to be. Um, 329 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: we know the guy they drafted from Ohio States making 330 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: the roster, but I'll tell you this, I don't know 331 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: about any of the other dudes being locks. Um new system, 332 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: new quarterback. Uh, anything's possible, all right, Rob, We've got 333 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: a pivot quickly to the NBA to wrap up here. 334 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: Excuse me, because of what happened quietly for the l 335 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: A Clippers on Sunday night. Um wod reported it and 336 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: it didn't get a lot of hubbub because a lot 337 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about NFL and preseason and um, I didn't 338 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: see a lot of traction on social media about this deal. 339 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: But the Clippers traded Rondo, Pat Bev and Daniel Oturu 340 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: who you don't know, for Eric bled So who is 341 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: now having I believe, his second tour of duty with 342 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: the paper clips. Now, why is this significant, you say, Jason, 343 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: Come on, this is maybe a starter in Pat Beev? Uh? Well, 344 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: remember last year they needed to make a move for 345 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: leadership because their fourth quarter struggles were very well documented. 346 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: They needed leadership in clutch time, so they went out 347 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: and got thirty seven year old Gen Rondo. Well, didn't 348 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: really play a ton of Rondo in the playoffs. How 349 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: about Pat Beev, you're starting point guard. Well, he's a 350 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: more interesting case because it's less about him being the 351 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: starting point guard and more about being what he represented. 352 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: He was the last piece from that tough dog Clippers 353 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: team that featured lou Will Montrez, Harrold Pat Beev. Those 354 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: that those were basically right, rob Gi, Those three were 355 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: like the leading trio, correct. They They were the ones 356 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: who pushed the Durant Curry Warriors to six games when 357 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: nobody thought it was possible. It was like who lou Will, 358 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: Harold and everybody loved the idea of Paul George and 359 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard joining those guys, and he never panned out. 360 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: It was basically divided locker room. You had the diva's 361 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: Kauai and Paul George, and then you had the guys 362 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: who grinded their ass off to get where they are. 363 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: Harold's undersized, lou Will's a one trick pony. Pat Bev 364 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: is just basically they're on defense because he can't really 365 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: do much else. Like, those guys fought for everything they 366 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: got in the NBA, and they were like the heart 367 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: of the Clippers, and the Clippers decided to trade their 368 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: heart for Kawhi Leonard, who hasn't really done anything in 369 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: two years. I mean the bubble collapse. We know that 370 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: was epic. And then you if you guys want to 371 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: give him a pass because he was injured with the 372 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: a c L and missed the uh Western Conference finals, 373 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: that's fine. Um, I get that, but overall I just 374 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: haven't seen it. And now I wonder, what are you 375 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: doing with Eric Bledsoe to me this weeks of oh well, 376 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: we're not gonna have Kauai this year, Paul George is 377 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: gonna need help. He's got Reggie Jackson. Let's get him 378 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: some more offensive help in the form of Eric Bledsoe, 379 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: who has like one of the worst shots of actions 380 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: of any point guard in the league. You have Luke Canardo, 381 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: you gave sixty four million dollars too, and I'm not 382 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: even sure where he factors in the rotation. Rob Listen, 383 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's bettable at this point, but 384 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: Clippers to miss the playoffs to me would be, oh 385 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: my gosh, that would be delicious. Wow. Okay, I don't 386 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: even think I would go that far. Do you think 387 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: there're a lot to make the playoffs top eight or 388 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: play PLI guess play in with the play in that 389 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: they've expanded to it. I mean they still have Paul George. 390 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: They still have you know, one of the more Paul George. 391 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: They still got, you know, Reggie Jackson, Mr. What is it? Mr? 392 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: June they call whatever he is now because he's so 393 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: good name. I'm sorry. Fox Sports Radio has the best 394 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our 395 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com and within the 396 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app search f s R to listen live. 397 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: This was being spun after the trade went down, and 398 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, like you was it. It It didn't get a 399 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: ton of buzz on social media. But what buzz it 400 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: did get was this is gonna save the Clippers, like 401 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,239 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars from against the luxury text. This was 402 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: a financial move, and I disagree. I think you hit 403 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: on it right at the top that I think this 404 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: was a a locker room decision. I think this was 405 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: the last of that street Lights over Spotlights Clipper team, 406 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: the Montrez lou Will Pat Bev you know iteration of 407 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: that team being kicked out the door in favor of 408 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: the load management practice. When I want to play, when 409 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: I want to this is just a job to me. 410 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard era and and I know that this is 411 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: gonna sound harsh because Kauai didn't say anything. You know, 412 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: he's very mute, so it's hard for people to really 413 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: have a negative feeling or negative thought about Kauai because 414 00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't actually say anything. But Kawhi Leonard has snake 415 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: tendencies and if you haven't been paying attention the last 416 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: few years, then that's your fault. Go back to San Antonio, 417 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: you had Tony Parker and Manu Genobli to Hall of 418 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: Fame players who were part of the Duncan era. Basically 419 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: say that, Yeah, you know, he could play on his 420 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: on his leg. He's just choosing not to. Tony Parker said, 421 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: I had a quad injury that was worse than his 422 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: and I came back. So I don't know what the 423 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: problem is. So there's that you have the people in 424 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Toronto who it is all gets glossed over because they 425 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: end up winning the championship. But there were people there 426 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: who were mythed that he was missing games without any 427 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: real explanation. They didn't understand why he was doing it, 428 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: and this has been reported several times. Okay, then you 429 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: go to the Clippers recruitment. We find out that apparently 430 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook hit him up about joining forces. And what 431 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: does Kawhi Leonard do. I'm gonna tell Paul George, Hey, 432 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: you know that your girls trying to talk to me 433 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: in the d m s. Why don't you come or 434 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: why don't you come hang out with me instead? Okay? 435 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: He does at then he gets to the Clippers, or 436 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: excuse me, he's negotiating with the Clippers after they have 437 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: the Paul George into and we find out that Uncle 438 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: Dennis on behalf of Kawhi Leonard is asking for an 439 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: owner shake of the team, ownership, stake of the team. 440 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: He's asking for access to a private jet, He's asking 441 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: for a cut of merchandise sales. All these things widely reported. 442 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: Get finally signs with the Clippers. He's on the team. 443 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: You think you've already cowed out to this guy enough, 444 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: you don't gotta worry about it anymore. Nope, we find 445 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: out the whole reason why the Clippers were attractive to 446 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: begin with, because of Pat Bev, Lou Will and and Montras. 447 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: Harrold Kauai is like, Nah, I'm not feeling that. I 448 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: ain't trying to play hard every night. I ain't trying to, 449 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, give the fans of money's worth. I'm gonna 450 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: manage my knee, which apparently people can't decide whether and 451 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: he's really hurt or not. And I'm gonna play what 452 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: I want to. I'm gonna practice when I want to. 453 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna live in San Diego, and if I'm late 454 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: for a team flight, you guys can wait for me. 455 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: It's gonna be weird beat to be able to bash 456 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: him next year. I mean, I guess when I say 457 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: the Clippers are probably not a playoff team, rob they 458 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: have zero room for error, like none. So if their core, 459 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: if their core right now is Paul George, Reggie Jackson 460 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: and Eric Bledsoe and Luke Kennard and whatever Morris twin, 461 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: they have to try to get to forty two wins. Okay, 462 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: that's probably doable. But Rob, that is assuming that there's 463 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: like no injuries, because if Paul George has to miss 464 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: ten games, what are they winning three of those? Maybe? Maybe, 465 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: Like I just there is there's certainly a path to 466 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: where the Clippers are not in the playoffs next year. 467 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: And oh, I don't know. Well, the Warriors are gonna 468 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: be better. We know that, um, Memphis is gonna be 469 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: good once again. We know the Lakers are way better. 470 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: I think the Sacramento Kings had a pretty good draft. Man, 471 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: they were close last year. Stop stop, they were they 472 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: were getting close. They got a couple of things to 473 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: stored out. Um, Minnesota Timberwolves had like all the injuries, 474 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns, your guy former Laker Dentel Russell, Like, 475 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: I think there's certainly a scenario where the Clippers are 476 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: not in the playoffs. Um yeah, hey, can I give 477 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: a quick Rob G shout out before we wrap up 478 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: the pot. I saw a movie on my flight back, 479 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: uh back West. It's called Boogie. Have you heard of it? 480 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: I thought you would stayed Las Vegas. No, I have 481 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: not heard it. Stop it. I don't know if it's 482 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: a it's a Netflix movie or it was in theaters. 483 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 1: It's basically, um the story. Uh, it's came out one 484 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: it's um. A guy by the name of Eddie Huang 485 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: made his directorial debut. UH. An Asian kid in New 486 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: York City trying to be like a basketball star and um, 487 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: you know he's going up against this black guy who 488 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: runs the city. And I guess the black guy is 489 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: Pop Smoke, UM, who passed away. I guess I'm not 490 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: all that familiar with him. What happened to him? Right? 491 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: You know? I know that he died. I don't know 492 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: the details, but I do know the name Pop Smoke 493 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: and he died. There was a I remember this. He 494 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: was renting a house in uh in the Hollywood Hills, 495 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: and some people came in and jacked him.

And there's obviously 498 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: an attractive girl, but there's some good storylines. I think 499 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: you would dig it if you like sports at all. 500 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: It's all a quick movie.
