Oh you're let's jump right into it tonight. 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.680 The Pacers one twenty six to one ten JB. Jaylen 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.880 Brown drops forty points as the Celtics taker two nothing 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:25.800 lead and Tyrese Haliburton exited the game was being reported 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.840 as a sore hamstring. Remember he did miss time in 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.520 the regular season. I think he missed at least ten 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.960 games with that sore ham string. If he is not 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.160 able to return, it was already going to be a 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.120 daunting task even with him in the lineup. With him 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.119 out of the lineup, I don't see how they stand 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.080 much of a chance. But hey, that's why we play 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.800 the game. But the Celtics aren't controlling this series. They 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.120 hold Servant home after a very tough Game one victory, 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.640 they come out and they cruise one twenty six to one. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:53.920 Ten. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.920 Jalen Brown has forty points. I think Jason Tatum had 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.520 twenty three points. Dereck Wright had twenty three points as 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.080 they take or to nothing lead. Oo, what'd you take. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:03.479 From the game? 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.960 I mean, listen, for one, the Pacers they were down 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.560 two to the Knicks, they were down to o two 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.280 to the Knicks, and they were able to prevail and 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.680 come back. Obviously, Halliburton being injured is not going to 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.440 make it easy. Like you did say, it is a 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.440 daunting task even with him available. Pascal Siakam had a 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.840 phenomenal game. The supporting cast did what they could. But 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.280 I think the Celtics are a little bit too much, 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.640 a little bit too much for the Pacers. I'm hoping 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.160 Halliburton can get back. A hamstring injury is something you 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.760 don't play with. That's something that you do not play with. 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.280 I'm not sure if he'll be able to make it 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.720 back to this series, but even if he is, the 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.120 way it's looking and the way it's headed, it's looking 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.720 like a gentleman's sweep. I hope the Pacers can steal 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.000 a game and make it an interesting series. But as 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.080 far as what I've seen so far from the Celtics, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:56.680 looks like they're going to be in the finals. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.840 This is why you win the game you're supposed to 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.600 win in The Pacers supposed to win Game one, but 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.719 they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And look, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.960 I understand that. Look all Boston did was whole servant home. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.640 But there's the difference between Boston and the Knicks. The 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.360 Knicks were already down two guys. They're already down Jeorceh Ramda. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.200 They went down Mitchell Robinson and remember og Annoby want 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.640 their best wing defender, one of their best wing defender, 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:29.080 and the score. He goes down, Bogdanovinch, he goes down. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.799 There ain't nobody down but Porzingos they still got JT, 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.880 they still got JB, they still have Derrick White. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.120 And you know what's funny, they're in control of the 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.719 series right now. Porzingis was supposed to come back Game four, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.080 there's really no need for Borzenis to come back. They 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.080 might as well just let him rest and heal all 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.000 the way up to one hundred percent until they get 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.160 to the finals. There's no need even risk it. 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:50.880 There's no point. 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.120 Well, here's the thing on Yoe, Let's try to make 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.240 this a quick series. Let's go take care of our business. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.000 Go ahead and make this thing affoord nothing sweet. Let 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.080 them guy battle it out in the West. And so 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.920 now we'll get seven, eight, nine, ten days a rest. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.840 So Presingers is fully healthy because he unlocks this entire offense, 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:07.640 because he's. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.000 Able to what he's able to do. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.840 He has a post game, he unlocks JB, he unlocks JT, 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.000 and so yes, he would be a much needed asset, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.600 and he gives them size because without him in the lineup. Yeah, 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.640 I mean, look, you're going against Minnesota, You're definitely gonna 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.560 need Prezingers because you go seven to Rudy Gobert, you 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.520 go seven, butt Cat, you go six. Ten, six eleven Nazrid, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.160 So you're gonna definitely need him. And even if you 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.640 go even if you face the Mavericks, you go probably 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.320 six to eleven. Lively, you probably go six nine six 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.000 ten Gafford, so PJ. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:43.760 Washington. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.200 So you're gonna need somebody to battle those guys on 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.000 the board. So you're definitely gonna need Presingers because he's 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:53.160 your he's your best rim protector, and he's a guy 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.200 can also score your twenty points if need too. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.240 Another thing, if it is a gentleman's sweep, do you 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.200 think it affects momentum the chemistry of the team if 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.080 they have that many days off before they play in 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:04.560 the finals. 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.040 I'd rather have I know, I know, I know how 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:08.920 it works for football. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:10.200 You know, when you're off and you have a bye 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.040 week and you come back, sometimes you're a little sluggish. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.840 Sometimes you're little sluggish and it takes time to get 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.640 that momentum going. As opposed that they have right now 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.000 is take is having a four old sweep? Will it 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.600 do the Celtics more harm than good? 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.360 Well, here's the thing. A gentleman sweep is five to one. 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.640 I mean, for one, a sweep is four Oh, so 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.240 they're boring headed towards a regular sweep or they're listing Lively. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.520 They say Lively seven to one. So you're definitely gonna 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:40.079 need Presingers because Presingers goes seven to three. You do 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.360 have Al Horford, but Al was about sixteen. But you 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.200 need as many guy as you possibly can to battle 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.760 on the glass. Right. But here's the thing, Oh Joe, Yeah, 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.040 you'd probably like to like get maybe like two or 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.319 three days of rest, but considering that prezingers, you need 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.720 him to be at his best. You want to make 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.760 him as healthy as you possibly can. The last thing 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.120 you want to have happened, you bring it back. He 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.160 reinjureds that calf in Game one, and now he's going 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.240 for the rest of the series. I believe if we 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.000 give him what he gonna probably be off somewhere between 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:16.800 two weeks in seventeen days. I think that's probably that'll 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.520 probably be a good enough opportunity for that calf to 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.199 healed up, heal up, and to keep him healthy. But 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.400 the Celtics did a great job tonight. And now I'm 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.160 not trying to start in the controversy, but I don't 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.240 think I'm breaking news. Jaylen Brown has been the best 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.679 player for the Celtics in these playoffs. Yeah, as simple 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.760 as that. Yeah, JB had a great game Game one, 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.640 and we understand that, but he has not been terribly 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.000 efficient in the process of getting the numbers that he's getting. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.720 Jalen Brown has been their most consistent player throughout these playoffs. 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.199 If you go back and look at games in the 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.199 first round series, the second round series, and now this one, 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.880 well an opportunity to advance, Jalen Brown has been their 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.640 best player. I'm not saying he is their best player, 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.400 but I'm saying he's played the best. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.640 Okay, I was getting ready, I was getting ready to 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.480 ask you. So I have a question about the maths. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.640 I don't mean to switch topics like this, but between 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.600 Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and Jason Tatum the better player, 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.360 he's just not shooting as efficient and Jaylen Brown is. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.800 Yeah, I think who's the better of the two? Well, 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.559 I think me personally, I think Jason Tatum is the 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.400 better of the two. But two things can be true. 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.880 One can be the better player, but the other can 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.840 be playing better. You see what I'm saying. 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.559 That's confusing to give me, give me, give give it 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.120 to me in football analogy. Use use use football, use 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.640 football term the football players, and I'll get a better understanding. 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.320 Someone can might be the best receiver, but he didn't 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.080 play better in that game. You see what I'm saying. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.000 Okay, now not now you make Now you make a 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:48.439 sense to me. 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:50.400 That's and so that's what I'm saying. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.719 Sometimes a guy can be the best player, but that 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.360 doesn't mean he played the best. I believe Jason Tatum 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.520 is the best player on the Celtics, but j but 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.040 Jaln Brown has been playing. 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.680 That term in the series, in the playoffs. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.679 In the playoffs, Jason Tatum was a first team All 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.760 NBA selection JB. Although I think he should have made 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:17.240 one of those three teams, he was not. So that's 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.400 just that's that's my thought press process of it. It's 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:26.960 not it's really not that uh. And like I said, 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.040 I think and I like what the Celtics did is 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:29.600 that they tried to. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:30.400 Get the ball to JB. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.040 J T Lake to try to get him going. You see, 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.000 he got a couple of and ones, but he still 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.400 shot nine to twenty from the floor. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:42.520 M hm. And so he he he's a better player. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.040 He's a more efficient player than what he's shown John, 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.559 And and look, I'm good with it if we can 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.280 get by with Jason Tatum not playing his A game 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.880 and get to the NBA Finals. But we know in 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.040 the finals, we're gonna need to be on him to 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.559 be on his best behavior in order for us to 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.079 be one of the teams, either the mav or the Timberwolf. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.880 Because the thing that the difference is between the two 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:10.600 teams Kyrie and Luca, they can go get your sixty 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.760 to seventy between the two of them, and then you 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.079 get PJ chipping in, and you get Tim Hardaway. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.640 He live to do. You never know what you're gonna 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.680 get from him. And plus now you go and and Cat. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.360 They also even Jade McDaniels has been playing really well 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.720 as of late. So they're gonna need they're gonna need 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.800 Jason Tatum to build his best behavior. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.960 And so yeah, go ahead going into the next game, 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.240 the third game, I mean from a coaching standpoint, a 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.960 coach's decision. I'm not I'm not saying I'm a coach 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.280 or I'm not really familiar with the game of basketball 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.360 to that extent, But if I was a coach going 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.240 as the Game three, I would have the entire offense 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.079 run through Jason Tatum just to get him going, just 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.160 to get that confidence. And I mean it should already 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.000 be there obviously for just to get him going so 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.679 a numbers can be where they should be. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:01.959 Or does it not work like that? 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.360 Because I don't want to mess up everybody else, I'm 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.679 gonna run my offense. He's gonna still get the same opportunity. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.120 He's still getting the opportunity. The thing is, O Joe 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:11.920 is to make a mis league. The ball goes in 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.520 or doesn't, and more time than not for Jason Tatum 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.439 this year, the ball is going in more times than not. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.280 For whatever reason, he's struggling shooting the ball, especially from 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.439 the perimeter. Now that's not to say he can't get 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.439 it going, because when you're a great player, it could 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.400 just flip like that and the next thing you know, 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.439 he run a streak of thirty point games off with 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.320 an and being an efficient at an efficient clip. 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.079 But right now, I don't change up anything. This is 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.960 what we do. We run. Look, they're very good ISO players. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.480 That's what they do. They can ISO jab can go 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.640 one on one back, you down shoot over the top 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:44.880 of you. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.360 We know what JT is. He's another guy. But they 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.679 shoot you three a lot ojo. They swing the ball, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.200 they shoot the three big al get threes up. Derek 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.160 White gets threes up. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.600 So do JT. So to JB. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.040 Preacher to come in off the bench. Howser comes in gunning. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.240 So that's what they are. Their team that likes to 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.160 get up a lot of threes. Hopefully they make a 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:03.800 lot of threes, put a lot of pressure on you, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.319 and when the threes a go, they can shoot you 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.880 out the building. But when they don't, they continually take 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.840 them and the team can blow them out of the building. 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.000 So I don't think that's an earth shadowing news. But 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.000 the Celtics look really good last tonight in a one 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.200 twenty six one t Jalen Brown dropped forty points if 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.880 the Celtics taking a two zero league. Now it's time 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.840 for our first say with the night. It's called a. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:35.440 News cap news cave. JB. 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.160 Bicker Staff is out as the Cleveland Cavaliers head coach, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.760 despite the franchise's first birth in the Eastern Conference semifinals 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:43.640 in six seasons. 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:45.520 Basically since Lebron left. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.120 The Calves dismissed their head coach JB. Bickerstaff this morning. 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.320 Bicker Staff won ninety nine regular season games in the 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.000 past two seasons, but the franchise hopes to land a 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.360 coach that will take them take Cleveland even deeper into 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.560 the Eastern co Conference. You look at his ten year 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.720 od Lenny Wilkins has the most. He has three hundred 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.040 and sixteen wins in seven seasons. Mike Brown has three 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.720 hundred and five wins in six season. Bill Fitch, excuse me, 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.480 had three hundred and four wins in nine seasons, Mike 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.440 Purtello two forty eight and six, and JB. Vickers Staff 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.280 had one hundred and seventy victories in five seasons. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.720 I'm confused, Okay, I'm confused. Okay, Okay. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.720 Your franchise had your first Eastern Conference Eastern Conference simmis 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.440 in six seasons. So this to me, obviously this would 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.560 be the best season that they've had since he's been there. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:45.840 Yep. 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.440 Then you got to take injuries into account. The Big 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.680 three Mobley Mitchell Allen only played twenty eight games together. Okay, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:58.840 So ownership, GM and those upstairs already know. Okay, if 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.600 we got this far and we had injuries, why not 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.760 running back again? But the same coach who got us 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.120 to this point with the injuries as well? Why bringing 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.680 an entirely different coach? Are you trying to pease someone else? 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.120 Is there a certain player maybe by the name of 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.040 Donovan Mitchell maybe that might not have gotten along with 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.960 the coach. Are you trying to a pease him by 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.640 bringing somebody new? Or are you really saying, you know what, 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.560 let's scratch it, let's bring somebody else in new. And 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.920 that's like I'm not saying I'm trying to use a comparison. 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.480 Excuse me if I'm wrong, But that's like letting Mark 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.640 Jackson go and bringing in mister Kerr to take over 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.000 for a team that already has potential, especially when the 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:38.880 Big three come back. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.200 But the question, am I off kilter here? 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.520 You're not off kuilter, But the question is does the 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:45.880 front office, does management, does ownership? 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.560 Do they believe it's the same thing? You remember Tampa? 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.040 They got Gruden out of, they got Tony dunj out 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.240 of their Gruden comes in, where's the super Bowl? Mark Jackson, Lee, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.840 Steve Kirk comes in, they win the championship. It's hard 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.960 to argue with the results. When you get the results 0:16:59.040 --> 0:16:59.640 that you wanted. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.240 You know what, when you have certain teams, right, and 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.960 excuse me, Chad, y'all stay with me when I say this. Now, 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.200 when you have certain teams and you have certain personnel, 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.600 you have a certain set of players. You know, my 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.000 grandma could have coached the goddamn Warriors and they would 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.800 have win. They would have won the goddamn Championship. My 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.960 grandma could have coached the goddamn Buccaneers when Gruden left 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:25.600 and they would have won the Super Bowl. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.280 If that's the case, why didn't the coach went to 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.560 have Kobe and Shaq went at the Lakers? If it's 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.760 that easy, I know I did. 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.720 I didn't say it's easy. I didn't say it's easy. 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.520 But the players that you have makes it that much 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.000 easier to get there. YEA coaches, coach, coaches coaches, but 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.560 the players play, players get coaches fired. 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:51.840 Yeah, who won with Michael lin Scotti? Who won with 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:52.639 Shaq and Kobe? 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.720 Phil? So if that easy? So everybody should be able 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:00.240 to do it, right, Ah, it's not. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.520 Sometimes sometimes it's a word here, or it's a scheme there. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.720 I mean, it's hard to say coach Dungee had those 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.680 same players. I think the only thing he changed was 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.920 the quarterback. Now, if coach Dungeon had had a Brad 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.400 Johnson as a quarterback, could he have won? Maybe it's 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.240 hard to say, because Oho, you know, from year to 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.919 year we've seen teams right there at the NFC Championship 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.480 get right there to the Super Bowl. Look at Philly, 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.240 Philly within the Super Bowl brought down. 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:29.080 To the same team back. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:30.159 M hm. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.840 You never know, you never know. It's a I think 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.000 it's a gut for ownership. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.920 It's a gut feel that says, I think we need 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.240 somebody to get us over the hump that can take 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:44.720 us further than what we've gone. 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.480 And you know, you make the decision. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.200 It's hard to argue with the decision that the Bus 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.160 family made when they brought Phil in to coach Shaq 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.639 and Kobe. It's hard to argue with the decision that 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.360 they made when coach Gruden replaced coach Dungeon. It's hard 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.399 to argue. And I know, look, I won't mark Jackson 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:03.200 to get a job back. 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.320 Help. Maybe he should go, he should go interview for 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.000 the Lakers job. But it's hard to argue that. 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.679 In a sist you're span go to State one four 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.879 championships step with a two time league MVP, and one 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:17.639 of those times he's the only unanimous MVP in NBA history. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.440 So with that being said, it's kind of hard when 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.879 you get the results that you were hoping for all along. 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.600 Yeah, but I just I'm just I hate to say that. 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:30.880 I'm trying to figure out how to conduct the words 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:35.520 to make it make sense. But at times coaching does matter. 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.480 I'm not saying that coaching does matter. When we have 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.400 certain players that play together as a unit and instructured environment, 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.080 they make a coaching job extremely easy where he doesn't 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:46.680 have to do much. 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.840 Yeah, I think the biggest thing with coaches is that 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.040 you have to man especially with basketball coaches, you have 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.680 to men egos and your star players. You have to 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.400 be able to however you mesh those, whether it's meditation, 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.399 whether you say it's okay from that. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:02.760 But it's a lot it's a lot. 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:07.040 More difficult to manage egos on an NBA than say, 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.800 because you can have two great players, the likelihood of 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.639 you having the equivalent of Patrick Mahomes at another position 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.119 is not likely. What's the likely you have the equivalent 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:22.360 of Patrick Mahomes at another position on the team, even 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.120 if you even on the defensive. 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:25.960 Side, it's not the same. So even if you say 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:28.240 Aaron Donald and. 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.520 Matthew Stafford are the same there on the opposite side, 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.679 see basketball, were out there. 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:39.960 At the exact same time. We need to be able 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:40.639 to communicate. 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.440 We need to whatever our differences are, we need to 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.480 be able to sit that aside while we on the 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.280 court do what we need to do. And then, hey, 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.160 we saw that cartoon when the when the dog trying 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.080 to kill each other. Hey, Sam, how you doing back? 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.000 They punching the clock, see you tomorrow. But when they 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.240 come back on the job, you're chasing each other again. 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:02.520 And so you think. 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:08.560 You think players have have calls within the team, that's real. Yes, 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:12.000 on the same team. 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:16.520 Yes, oh boy, they show keep that under wraps because 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:18.119 I ain't really hurting. No, I ain't never heard no 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:18.840 issues like that. 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:20.480 Oh yeah, of course it is. 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:23.680 Yeah, because when you get hold on, when you get 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:27.639 too when you get two guys buying, well, it's my team, No, 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.320 it's my team. Well I think I deserve I'm tired 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:31.720 of being in the shadow. I want to move to 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:32.160 the front. 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:34.440 You know how you move to the front by your play. 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:36.159 Do your play put you in front. You ain't got 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.159 to do nothing else. There's no reason they're arguing with 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:39.000 the person next to you. 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:39.280 Bro. 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:41.160 If you want to be the man, if it's your team, 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:43.720 being in your team, it means it's when you show 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:45.320 up night in, the night out. 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:46.560 That's how you make it your team. 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.119 How efficient you are, how good you are to your position, 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.080 how easy and how better you make your teammates around you. 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.560 It's well documented that shacking Kobe beefed. 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.200 There's a reason why mister Buss got rially moved on 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.520 from Shack and moved Kobe to the four. That's documented. 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.400 I'm not breaking news. I'm not interrupting anybody's normally scheduled programming. 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:07.159 You know that you've heard it. 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:07.639 You know it. 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:09.080 I know you didn't want to say it, but it 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:09.800 is what it is. 0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:12.480 Hmm. 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:15.560 And that's why. 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:20.119 That's why, Because that's why Kareem and Kareem and Magic 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.680 made it. Magic say Cap what you want. It was 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:25.840 never a situation where I'm the best, so I need 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.960 to be the front. No what you want, Cap, We 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:30.919 can win more together when we can't apart. 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.040 Well, I mean, how can nobody have had that conversation 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.439 with Kobe and Shack during that time? How many more? 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:40.280 How many I'm curious how many more championships will they 0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.760 have have if Kobe and Shack stay together? 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:46.879 Read it all depends. Everything is contingent on Shack and 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.560 how serious he was gonna take it. His body is 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:51.679 starting to take had started to break down a little bit. 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:53.840 He had started a miss game during the season. That 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:57.440 urt Kobe. You See, here's the thing. When you ain't 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:02.680 great player, mediocrity and people not working as hard as you, 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:05.480 it'll annoy you. And if you're mediocre and you're not 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:09.639 working hard, greatness annoys you. Right, So there's two things 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.480 that play here. That's why people are like, everybody couldn't 0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:18.560 play with Mike for Jordan, No, No, because Mike had 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:22.800 a level. Mike had a standard. It's like Tom, You played. 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:26.320 With Tom, you know how demanding he was, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:26.880 yeah yeah. 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:30.399 So imagine so he's demanding of fifty three. Imagine what 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:34.960 it's like when it's twelve and y'all confine, y'all fly 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.520 on the same little small play that's not a small plane, 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.680 but it's a nice side flank. But you fly on 0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.439 this plane all the time. You sit there in meetings 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.040 together all the time. You're right there on the bench 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:47.800 together all the time. You know, when we are on 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.960 the sideline on Joe defense on one bench, offense on 0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.920 the other beach offense standing on one side, defense standing 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:59.199 on the other side. So and you know, you got 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.840 wide receivers, got a meeting room, got a meeting room. 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:05.200 Linebackers got a meeting room. D line old life quarterbacks, 0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.360 wide receivers were right there. 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:08.640 That's crazy. 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:09.520 That's crazy. 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:11.560 And I know people in the chat like talking about, 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:14.080 oh yeah Q Kobe and Kobe and Shack feuded. But 0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:16.280 as long as I played in the NFL, and I 0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.240 thinking about the team in general, I'm I'm I'm picturing 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:21.200 my locker room year and the year out, and I'm 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:23.399 trying to figure out. I can't think of it one instance. Now, 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:25.600 maybe it's happening on other teams, maybe it's happened when 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:28.560 you were playing, But everybody got along. There were no issues, 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:30.960 especially personal issues. Everything was left at the door. It 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.680 was it was left on the outside. So I'm like, god, damn, 0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:35.520 but what is that to argue about because I think 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.080 about the game of basketball, it's only five motherfuckers on 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.360 the court. And if it's five on the court, I'm 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:43.239 sure that's everybody got the same end goal. Everybody had 0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:45.359 the same end goal. So how you can beef and 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.040 but heads when everybody had the same. 0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:51.200 Way Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. But he is, so 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:52.200 he is. 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:53.880 That's that's personal. 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:58.920 That's personal. That's ego. 0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:01.120 Jerry is allowing ego to get in the way. 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:02.800 That's ego with both. 0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:08.560 I'm willing to break this thing up to be number one, 0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:11.399 Tom and Coach Belichick. 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:21.040 Why that's tough. It is, that's tough. That's that's that 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:21.640 that listen. 0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.119 That's making it a lot more complicated than it should 0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:25.600 be when the end goal should be the end goal 0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:29.080 at at the end of the day, at the end 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:30.680 of the day, Listen, we're gonna set our difference to 0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:34.040 the side, whatever it may be. If you have any 0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:36.800 issues with me, let's talk about it, communicate. But at 0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:39.879 the end of the day, that trophy, at the end 0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:41.040 of the day is we'll be playing. 0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:41.760 For That's it. 0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:45.000 It ain't that simple because because more time than not, 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:50.080 people would whether whether would rather lose their way than 0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:53.920 win someone else's. That's why coaches say, I'm gonna do it. 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.360 If I'm gonna go down, I'm gonna go down doing 0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.440 it my weight. When players says, if I'm gonna fail, 0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:01.160 I'm gonna they're doing it my way. 0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:03.120 You did things your way. 0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:05.560 Nobody could tell you, Oh Joe, I need you to 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:07.840 eat regular, I need you to eat this, this kind 0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:11.320 of nutritional food. You did it your way, right, So 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:13.080 why would it be different for anybody else? 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:16.639 Yeah, but see that's that's that's a little different. I 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.440 knew it worked for my k I knew it worked 0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:20.520 for my body work for them. 0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:30.720 I I don't like that comparison by nutrition. In my diety. 0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:35.159 It happens, man, it happened, and. 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:40.560 Takes a specially Listen, you know what I wish this 0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:45.520 Kyrie that's playing alongside Luca had he been that and 0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:50.040 he grown, We grow, we mature. He's so at peace, 0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:53.320 he got kids, now, he has a wife. Now that 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:57.440 Kyrie with Lebron and Cleveland, Oh they can win multiple championships. 0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:04.879 Oh they win two three, absolutely, absolutely unquestioned. Because the 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.000 thing was he didn't want to be second. He didn't 0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:09.639 want to be below Lebron. 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:12.400 Wait, they had the same thing too. 0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:16.080 The man traded him. They got he got traded after 0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.159 they went to the NBA Finals. Oh, Jo, come on that. 0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:21.920 I thought that was a money issue. To get this money. 0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:23.120 It was time for him to get paid. 0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:25.240 They could pay him more in Cleveland than they could 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:27.560 in Boston because he was there. They can offer the 0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:31.640 fifth year. The team that you're with can always pay 0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:34.600 you more money than if you get traded because they 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:37.080 can give you something another team can't, which is the 0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:37.760 fifth year. 0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:42.840 Hey, but I got I got a holler at Kyrie. 0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.120 He should have stayed no, no, But but he had 0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:48.879 to grow. He had to grow into this Kyrie. He 0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:52.600 had to mature into this Kyrie. Everybody grows and mature 0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:55.879 at different levels. There's some people you see there, like 0:27:56.000 --> 0:28:00.639 Kobe Cope was seventeen, automatically knew what he wanted and 0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:02.000 he took chart of that path. 0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:05.760 Some guys that take a little longer. Sometimes you know, 0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:07.359 you have to go out there and you bump your 0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:10.520 own head before you realize. I had a really good situation, 0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:13.080 And Kyrie's like, you know what, I had a really 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:15.800 good situation. He's like, I got a great situation. Now 0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:19.600 I'm nothing to fumble this one. But that's Kyrie that's 0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:24.879 played right alongside Luca. He was sensational. Go back and 0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:26.920 look at him in the finals when they won in 0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:29.400 twenty sixteen. Go back and look at when they lost 0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:33.680 in twenty seventeen. Look at his numbers. Yep, people like surprise. 0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:38.360 I'm not surprised he's been doing this. Yeah, he's as 0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.920 skilled as we have. He's skilled beyond skill. He can 0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:44.560 shoot the three, he got the mid range, his handles, 0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.240 either hand can pat the Rocky has it on the string. 0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:49.600 You Finally he's gonna make ninety percent of his shots. 0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:51.880 But he had to grow into this man that we 0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:57.000 see today. Charles bark Charles Barker said the morales sucks 0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:59.240 as inside the NBA remains in limbo for t and 0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:03.360 Tuck is displeased with the situation, and he inside the 0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:06.880 NBA teammates find themselves in sweating whether or not the 0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:10.640 NBA will keep Turner Brothers Discovery parent company TNT as 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.840 a partner, as it's down to the y media wized negotiations. 0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:16.920 These people I work with, they screw this thing up. Clearly, 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.840 we don't have zero idea, what's going to happen? And 0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.040 I don't feel good. I'm not going to lie. 0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.880 I mean it shouldn't listen. Uh, this is a no 0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:32.520 brainer to me. I enjoy watching TNT. I enjoy Shack. 0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:35.160 I enjoy the banter between Shaq, Charles Kenny and Ernie. 0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:39.360 I enjoy it. That's golden with This is reminiscent for me. 0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:40.800 Chat. Y'all stay with me. 0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:47.480 When you watch Martin and you see the cast of Martin, Pam, Gina, Cole, 0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:52.000 Martin and Tommy Yees that you can't replace that. I 0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.200 don't care who you substitute and who you put in. 0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:59.360 You can't substitute the chemistry that they have Nightcap. There 0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.840 is no chem street like Uncleanocho. You can't substitute that. 0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:05.240 You can have others that have a Nightcap. 0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:05.800 You can. 0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:07.920 You can take me out and put somebody else. You could, 0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:09.640 you could, You could take you out and put somebody else. 0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:13.960 It just won't make sense, it won't fit. I don't 0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:15.560 understand what's going over at tn T. 0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:17.600 It's a great show. 0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:20.240 Let me ask you a question, don't Joe, what did 0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.760 what did Martin? Them? Come on? They came on Fox? Right? 0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:25.000 You know, I'm not sure. 0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:26.840 I'm not Let's just say we're gonna say I think 0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:27.600 it came on Fox. 0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.200 But let's just say, for the sake of argument, that 0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:32.880 came on Fox, and CB asked offered them more money 0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.600 Martin's production company more money to produce the show. 0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:36.880 Is he staying or going? 0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:43.200 Okay? Okay, he's going, Okay, Okay, now I understanding. 0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:46.200 Okay, if y'all want to stay to get there, say Chuck. 0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:49.280 If y'all want to stay together, stay together. But y'all 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:55.160 ain't gonna have no basketball. Did you see what NBC paid, 0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:59.560 You see what ESPN is about to pay. It's about dollars. Now, 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:03.640 if if if NBC wants to bring that on, if 0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:08.080 somebody else wants to take that on, Okay, I'm breaking it. 0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:11.400 Up, Okay, then okay, okay, that that that makes sense. 0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:13.680 So if NBC, whatever it is is going to is 0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:16.880 going to buy the rights, then I'm sure the whole 0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:19.520 group would be going. It would only make sense because 0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.280 you're not going to be able to replicate or replace. 0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:24.960 It, replicate it. That's NBC's call. 0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:30.560 But the higher up to NBC would would it would 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:34.680 make sense like common sense? If if it's about business 0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:36.040 at the end of the day. And at the end 0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:38.200 of the day, it's all about dollars. It's all about dollars. 0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:42.600 You want to make a splash, you keep the golden nugget, 0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:44.040 you keep it together. 0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:46.720 That's the cash cow. 0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:50.040 No, the cash cow is the programming, which is the 0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:54.040 NBA games. That's the cash cow. There's a reason why 0:31:54.120 --> 0:32:06.640 it wasn't included in that package. Let's not forget Listen 0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:10.000 O Joe. So let me ask you a question. Do 0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:12.560 people turn in to watch the game to hear Troy 0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:15.080 and Joe Buck. Do they turn in to watch Romo 0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:17.680 and Nance or they turn in to watch Patrick Mahomes 0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:21.760 go against Joe Burrow And you could call the game 0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:24.560 and they still me And you can call the Dallas 0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:28.080 Cowboy game and they still gonna do thirty million, right, 0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:29.440 So and I get it. 0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:31.560 I love it. I think that's that's one of the 0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:33.200 best studio. 0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.640 Shows that's ever been put together because they play so 0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:40.160 well off of each other. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses, 0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:42.960 and everybody can play to the strength and stay away 0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:43.720 from the weaknesses. 0:32:44.240 --> 0:32:47.600 Chunk picks on, Chuck picks on, Shot Shot picks on. 0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:53.160 Chuck, and Kenny is in between, and the greatest traffic 0:32:53.240 --> 0:32:56.360 car that's ever been created. Kenny is Ernie excuse me, 0:32:56.520 --> 0:33:00.800 Ernie Johnson. So this works great together. I'm not saying they. 0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:02.240 I agree with you. 0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:06.280 I agree with you that somebody should take this show, 0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:09.520 and whoever has the right. I don't think it'll be ESPN, 0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:12.800 but NBC or Amazon or whomever else have the right, 0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:14.600 that should be the studio show. 0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:18.520 You know, it's funny when I think about it, is 0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:21.800 people are gonna tune in to watch the game, regardless, 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:24.760 that was the package. People are gonna tune in and 0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:26.760 watch the game regardless. But you know what else they're 0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:29.600 gonna tune in the watch. They're gonna tune in the 0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:34.640 watch Chuck. Yes, oh, they definitely. They definitely tune in 0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:37.000 to watch that. Matter of fact, when it's halftime, people 0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:38.800 won't even get up from they god damn se just 0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:40.520 to see what the boys finna talk about. Because you 0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:42.560 never know what you're gonna get. That's what I like 0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:44.760 about it. That's what I like about Washington TNT show. 0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:47.480 You never know what you're gonna get. The feeling of 0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:50.880 the unknown and unexpected is why people watch and you 0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:54.480 can't get that anywhere else unless you're watching us. 0:33:55.480 --> 0:34:00.920 Look, unlook, Charles Barkley, everybody that gets in this space, 0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:03.400 like in the media, especially now, that looks like you 0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:06.960 and I, we ordaint to Charles Barkley because he's not 0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:11.360 journalistically trained. He didn't go to try to get this annunciation. 0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:14.840 He mispronounced words and he plays along with it. 0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:23.080 So we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Charles Barkley. Yeah. Look, look, 0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:24.880 the show is amazing. 0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:29.160 They're the reason why that studio show wins Emmy after Emmy. 0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:33.239 There's a reason why Chuck wins Emmy after Emmy. But 0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:37.360 at the end of the day, the NBA sold the 0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:41.279 rights to basketball. They don't sell the right to the 0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:44.840 studio shows. They sold the rights to. 0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:50.120 Yes, Yeah, and I got I got you that. 0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:50.399 Man. 0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:51.319 I just listen. 0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:55.280 I'm saying, I'm picturing myself in a position of power, 0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:58.840 as in a position of power to make that call. Obviously, 0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.000 maybe the person that it has the money that's sitting 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.960 up top might not have the same view as I do, 0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:07.320 but it just to me, it just makes sense. Some 0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:11.160 things don't some things do Some things Ray Charles could 0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:14.160 even see and breaking them up. If there's a package 0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:17.239 where you just bought howvery much it was the show 0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:19.960 NBA Games on your platform, guess who might have come 0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:21.080 with me them? 0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:21.799 God damn folk. 0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:25.439 Yeah, because I understand. I understand what you get once 0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:26.200 they're on that TV. 0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:31.360 Oh, their studio show is unbelievable, and everybody tries to 0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:35.120 replicate it. But it's hard to replicate something that has 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.919 that kind of chemistry. They've got such a big lead 0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:41.000 on everybody else. That's what makes them so great. It's 0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:44.040 kind of like what PTI did with Tony and Mike 0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:48.160 Welbond because there were colleagues at the Washington Post. They 0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:50.600 know each other, they play well off each other, and 0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:53.279 there's a reason why they've been going twenty plus years 0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:58.400 and it seems like just yesterday. It's hard to replicate chemistry. 0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:02.279 It's hard, yeah, and so you either have it or 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:06.080 you don't. Some people can can can instantaneous, and some 0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:08.000 people it might take you a year or two to 0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:10.960 like fill somebody out. Now, obviously they had a better 0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:12.600 opportunity because they worked together. 0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:14.760 You know, we're working at the Washington Post. 0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:16.640 I mean people are like, well, you know, how well 0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:18.160 did you know what Joe, I said, I knew of it, 0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:20.560 and I said, you know, I interviewed him one time. 0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:23.600 I said, but we brought across each other. But it's 0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:26.920 not like we have the relationship that we have now, right, 0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:29.680 I said. But the thing that when I wanted to 0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:33.080 put something together, I said, I need somebody that doesn't 0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:35.879 take himself too serious, understands the game. 0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:38.120 But we're gonna have to in order for the show 0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:41.520 to grow. We just can't talk football. I knew we 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:43.200 were gonna have to tell some stories. 0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:45.160 I just didn't know how we're gonna be able to 0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.520 get to the stories, to be able to tell, Yeah, 0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:49.279 there's stuff that happened in the locker room, and you 0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:51.759 can say, well, an, I remember this time when I 0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:53.560 was in the locker room and this happened, and I 0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:56.600 can say that, But we talk about so much more 0:36:56.920 --> 0:37:00.560 than just sports, and so I'm gonna need somebody that 0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:03.799 that can not can not take himself ferious, that can 0:37:03.840 --> 0:37:06.560 take a joke, that can joke, and he understands that 0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:08.200 at the end of the day, this is entertainment. 0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:10.840 That's what this is. This is entertainment. 0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:14.719 We're gonna try to be as knowledgeable as an informative 0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:15.839 as we possibly can. 0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:19.360 And I'm getting better better with my knowledge on basketball. 0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:22.239 I'm getting better, but I'm getting there. And here, hey, listen, 0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:25.799 they oh, they've been killing me today on Twitter. By boy, 0:37:25.800 --> 0:37:27.480 they've been killing me on to day on Twitter about 0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:30.719 the w NBA stuff. So, I mean, you and Gil 0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:33.520 had a conversation and brought up some stuff that I 0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:34.680 wasn't knowledge about. 0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:37.680 Bird and magic. Let let bird and magice. Let Caitlin 0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:39.839 Clark and Andreelies. Let them get so of the club, 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:43.720 Let them get Look whatever you might think, Look whatever 0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:44.880 you might think. 0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:46.000 Of this new crop. 0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:49.720 At the end of the day, more people started talking 0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:52.879 about the w NBA this year than at any point 0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:56.120 in time in the history of the w NBA. They're 0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:59.080 thinking about ESPN is thinking about doing possibly doing a 0:37:59.160 --> 0:38:03.120 studio show w NBA today, just like the NBA today, 0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:06.399 just like NFL line. So whatever you think of these 0:38:06.480 --> 0:38:09.200 young ladies, I'm just gonna sit back and I get it. 0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:12.440 It's hard. It's just nature. That's kind of what happened. 0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:14.920 You remember, Ohoe, when they went to a pay scale 0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:18.200 for the rookies because the bets got so upset that 0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:21.080 guys coming in that had never thrown an NFL football 0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:25.439 except on their pro date, was making just as much money. 0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:28.839 Sam Bradford became the highest player in the NFL as 0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:32.720 a rookie. Yeah, and the players like okay, which played 0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:35.320 right into the played right into the hands of the 0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:38.120 owners because guess what they said. You know what, guys, 0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:41.080 We thank you guys, because this will give us an 0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:43.840 opportunity to keep more veteran players because we don't have 0:38:43.920 --> 0:38:46.440 to play these rookies this large sum of money. We 0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.600 put them on the pay scale. Blah blah blah. What 0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:51.479 day they did to the band? So Joe telling people 0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:52.560 at home what they did to the bands? 0:38:53.640 --> 0:38:57.320 Cut them? Yeah, cut them? Yeah, yeah, they moved on 0:38:57.480 --> 0:38:58.000 without them. 0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:01.400 Yeah, y'all bo band because they told you, oh, this 0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:03.480 is gonna allow us to keep more bets on the team. 0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:06.880 Where you go with hold on? You tell me the occupation? 0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:09.960 How were the occupations? You know that you say, you know, 0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:13.520 the most you can make is this amount of. 0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:19.879 Money, right, Ain't too many of them now? Yeah? 0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:23.359 And I get, but I'm saying, had you had they said, okay, 0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:26.880 we're gonna keep veterans, and you know, oh, you know, 0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.839 God us in his tenth year, because sometimes you need 0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:32.560 veteran presence in the locker room, right. 0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:34.960 Everything. 0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:39.040 Sometimes you just can't quantify the importance of a voice. 0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:43.160 Everything can't be measured in play, right, Like what you 0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:48.239 deep provided for the heat, you couldn't quantify it, right. 0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.800 But he kept the locker room, he kept the heat culture. 0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:55.640 He made sure everybody understood why they were there and 0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:58.719 what they needed to do while they were there. Yeah, 0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.640 and so that's that's the thing that I'm just saying, Look, 0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:05.439 just be happy the mere fact that we're talking about 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:08.440 the w NBA as much as we do. Yeah, we 0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:10.680 weren't gonna be talking. We weren't talking about no w NBA. 0:40:10.800 --> 0:40:12.360 Nobody was talking about w NBA. 0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.279 Listen, I mean listen. They were getting on me. They 0:40:16.360 --> 0:40:18.080 were cussing me out, and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa 0:40:18.080 --> 0:40:19.640 whoa time out, time out, time out? 0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:22.000 On Tuesday? 0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:23.440 Was it Tuesday Tuesday or Thursday? 0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:25.600 Thursday? Was my first game? 0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:29.480 That was my first experience, and it was awesome. Yes, 0:40:30.200 --> 0:40:34.400 so I chimed in on my personal experience. You and 0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:38.360 Gil are a little bit more knowledgeable about the w 0:40:38.680 --> 0:40:41.520 NBA and how the long it's been around and how 0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:43.960 the logistics of it works. I don't know that, so 0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:47.319 I didn't chime in. So somebody they were coming at 0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:50.759 me on Twitter saying, well, I'm complicit because I didn't 0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:54.120 engage in a conversation. I knew nothing about I didn't 0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:56.279 know anything about it. All I can talk about is, 0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:59.839 holy shit, mis Renee Montgomery invited me to a game 0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:02.359 in the adminsphere was awesome as opposed to what I've 0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:04.759 always heard on Twitter. I said, y'all lied to me 0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:07.879 on Twitter and told me the w NBA wasn't good 0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:10.320 and it wasn't exciting, and it was the opposite of 0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:14.640 what I experienced. That was it, And now now what's 0:41:14.680 --> 0:41:17.560 gonna happen now is I'm making my way. I'm going 0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.440 to Indiana game, which is not too far from Cincinnati. 0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:23.360 I'm going to a Chicago game. I'm gonna make my 0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.560 way to Vegas. I'm gonna start buying jerseys and wearing jerseys. 0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:29.680 So while I'm learning and getting better at learning, not 0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:33.799 just the NBA. Now, I'm finna actually integrate WNBA into 0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:37.000 it too. So we're gonna have w NBA nightcap. 0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:39.600 Yeah, I mean, and we talk about it. We talk 0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:42.799 about Caitlin Clark. We talk about angelies. We've talked about 0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:47.799 Cameron Brink and Rikilla Jackson and Cardoza just came back. 0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:49.239 I think she just came back. You're dealing with a 0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:49.960 Shoda injury. 0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:56.520 But no matter what they think, people are talking more 0:41:56.560 --> 0:42:00.080 about the w NBA this year than they have of 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:01.319 at any other point in. 0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:05.480 Time in the w n b a history.

That's Atlanta. 0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:21.720 Go to a go to a Falcons game, it's crunk, 0:44:22.000 --> 0:44:24.200 just like that you go to you go to a 0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:26.880 w NBA game in Atlanta, it's trunk, just like that, 0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:30.000 go to the go to the soccer game, it is crump. 0:44:30.239 --> 0:44:33.319 Just like everybody gonna be crunk. Then you know how 0:44:33.360 --> 0:44:35.440 they do it in the a You. 0:44:35.520 --> 0:44:38.719 Okay, because who in the stand what they look like 0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:43.560 exactly exactly, and so you got to have it crunk 0:44:46.239 --> 0:44:48.840 that that thing with. 0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:50.200 Oh yeah. 0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:54.680 Daniel Jones wasn't happy about the Giants considering drafted a 0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:57.160 quarterback in round one. When asked about the club looking 0:44:57.200 --> 0:45:00.319 at the potential replacement, Johnes said, I mean it wasn't 0:45:00.360 --> 0:45:03.320 fired up about it. His injury history and the on 0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:06.120 field struggles for much of his five year career led 0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:08.399 the Giant, who picked number six over on the twenty 0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:11.480 twenty four draft, to take deep dives into rookie quarterbacks 0:45:11.560 --> 0:45:13.960 coming out. At the end of the day, they drafted 0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:17.440 play making wide receivers from elite neighbors. The reality is 0:45:17.960 --> 0:45:20.200 is that he's entering the make up break season despite 0:45:20.320 --> 0:45:22.600 just signing a four year, one hundred and sixty million 0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:25.080 dollar contract extension last offseason. 0:45:25.640 --> 0:45:29.480 Oh yeah, and that's exactly what it is. It's a 0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:31.360 make of the break a year. They paid to that 0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:35.320 money they lets say kwan walk. So now the onus 0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:38.640 of the team is on you. How far the team 0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:42.480 goes is on you. I'm not saying you're Patrick Mahomes, 0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.360 but you're going to have to be very Patrick mahomish 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:48.760 this year. So when the pieces are missing and allowing 0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:53.360 other people to walk, you have to pick up You 0:45:53.480 --> 0:45:54.880 got to pick up that offensively. 0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:57.239 You have to pick it up. As a quarterback, yeah, 0:45:57.520 --> 0:45:57.960 you have to. 0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:00.879 And if they did bring a quarter back in, listen, 0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:02.600 Drew Locke gonna push you for that job. 0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:03.600 Now he should. 0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:06.359 Drew Locke is going to push you for that job. 0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:08.080 I don't care if they paid your three hundred million, 0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:09.920 because if you get to get if you if you 0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:12.160 start off on four or you start off on five, 0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:12.839 guests who. 0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:15.440 Finished check into the ball game? Yeah, luck guess who 0:46:15.480 --> 0:46:17.920 finish check into the ball game? Okay, and they get 0:46:17.960 --> 0:46:20.520 they get you got you got Malague, Neighbors, You got 0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:21.000 to use it. 0:46:21.840 --> 0:46:22.520 You got to use it. 0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:25.080 You bet you You're better using the best way you can. 0:46:25.320 --> 0:46:28.120 And I'm hoping mylie Neighbors comes in like a Jamar 0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:30.360 Chase or like a Justin Jefferson, where there is no 0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:33.479 learning curve. He hits the ground running right away because 0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:36.120 of it, because of the atmosphere he comes from, because 0:46:36.120 --> 0:46:38.479 of the environment he comes from. He should be ready 0:46:38.520 --> 0:46:40.239 to play. He should be ready to play right and 0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:41.279 it should be nothing to him. 0:46:42.800 --> 0:46:44.719 Look at the quarterbacks at each other about with throwing 0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:45.200 to those. 0:46:45.120 --> 0:46:49.680 Guys, jayde Dames, No Joe Burrow. 0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:56.600 Joe Burrow and first c first Cousins with throwing to 0:46:57.800 --> 0:46:59.800 with throwing to Justin Jefferson in Minnesota. 0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:02.560 Oh that's right, that's right. Oh shit, Okay, I see 0:47:02.600 --> 0:47:04.160 what you're saying. Hey, but wait a minute. 0:47:05.120 --> 0:47:07.200 If there is a weakness in Daniel Jones, you know 0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:11.080 a superstar receiver can hide those weaknesses if you if 0:47:11.120 --> 0:47:14.160 you're that guy, you know that who thought he was that? 0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:17.239 If Malik Neighbors is what I think he is and 0:47:17.320 --> 0:47:21.120 what I've seen, he can hide those weaknesses. 0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:24.000 Well, he gonna have to play better. Oh, Joe, hes 0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:25.399 gonna have to play better than what I seen. 0:47:26.760 --> 0:47:29.680 Myleaku Neighbor was way Why to call that bet off 0:47:29.960 --> 0:47:34.320 because he's like, hold on, they ain't driving no quarterback man. 0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:36.799 I got Danny Nicholas throwing to me. Man, I'm out 0:47:36.840 --> 0:47:37.600 of the bed in the NFL. 0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:40.279 You know, I don't won't know it, hey, but listen 0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:44.360 from a receiver standpoint, I'm thinking about my mentality, mylik 0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:46.200 neighbors mentality is probably the same way. 0:47:47.760 --> 0:47:48.480 Just get the ball, and. 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:51.720 Who would your quarterback before Carson? 0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:55.759 John Kittnam and I went crazy with John Kittennam what 0:47:56.239 --> 0:47:58.640 I went. I went dummy with Kidnap, you know, And 0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:01.600 I ain't care. Listen, the Sisters of the North could 0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:03.879 have been my quarterback. I'm finna get jiggy, I'm finna 0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:05.960 be open. Just put the ball and just put the 0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:07.680 ball in the vicinity. Just put it in the area. 0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:08.600 Bepen. 0:48:08.719 --> 0:48:11.600 Have you watched him play? Who you watched Danny? You 0:48:11.600 --> 0:48:13.200 watched him play Daniel Jones play? 0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:14.239 Yeah? 0:48:14.400 --> 0:48:16.960 Yeah, he's a good dual threat quarterback. He's a good 0:48:17.040 --> 0:48:17.880 dude threat quarterback. 0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:20.040 I mean, you say, put it in your vicinity? You know, 0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:24.880 uh uh Noork is in the vicinity of the medalans. 0:48:25.320 --> 0:48:27.000 It's in jerk. You know what I'm saying. You say, 0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:31.920 put it in thecinity. Lord Manhattan is in the vicinity, right, Yeah, you. 0:48:32.080 --> 0:48:33.400 Know you know what I mean. Listen. 0:48:33.640 --> 0:48:38.000 I think when when certain quarterbacks that aren't elite, yeah, 0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:44.520 and you get special talent, elite talent receiver that have 0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:47.960 that factor, they raise your level of play and they 0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:49.480 make you look better than what you actually are. 0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:51.840 And I think that's what Malik Neighbors can be for 0:48:51.960 --> 0:48:52.560 Daniel Jones. 0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:54.520 Well, hopefully Dolphins ave lied it a little better. 0:48:55.000 --> 0:48:57.239 But the thing is that really helps young quarter They're 0:48:57.320 --> 0:48:59.560 only a handful of quarterbacks that's come into the league. 0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:02.040 It didn't have a running game, a running back that 0:49:02.080 --> 0:49:04.160 could take some of that pressure off you, pressure off 0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:04.440 of me. 0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:04.839 Yeah. 0:49:05.480 --> 0:49:08.959 Now, I mean we'll see. I think they signed they 0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:10.839 signed a running back. I don't I forget who they 0:49:10.920 --> 0:49:13.920 signed in free agency. So it's gonna be very interesting 0:49:13.960 --> 0:49:16.560 to see how this thing works out. You know, I 0:49:16.680 --> 0:49:19.160 know the Giants fan of getting very very frustrated with 0:49:19.280 --> 0:49:20.200 the quarterback play. 0:49:21.320 --> 0:49:23.400 And you know they had Eli and Eli. 0:49:23.520 --> 0:49:27.680 You know they Eli Eli was perfect for New York 0:49:28.160 --> 0:49:30.880 because nothing bothered him. It might have been bothered him 0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:33.000 all along, It might have drove him crazy, but you 0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:36.600 couldn't tell. You never know. He didn't show no emotions 0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:38.920 on the field, didn't show any motion on the sideline. Now, 0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:42.360 he he might have got home and yelled into his pillow. 0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:45.720 But all I've said is that when he's on the field, 0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:48.759 and then Daniel Jones is just is. I'm not saying 0:49:48.800 --> 0:49:52.360 that bothers him, but I just like, Look, I understand 0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:56.319 quarterbacks is like, but I love competition. They signed Devin 0:49:56.400 --> 0:50:01.160 Singletary okay in free agency, but you know, for the quarterback, 0:50:01.239 --> 0:50:03.479 you know, and people like with sure to make the play. Look, 0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:05.680 if he can't beat me out for the job, I 0:50:05.680 --> 0:50:08.600 don't give it. Damn how good he is. Yeah, if 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:10.440 the guy can't beat the quarterback out for the job, 0:50:10.520 --> 0:50:11.120 he doesn't get to. 0:50:11.120 --> 0:50:14.759 Play, right. I like it. 0:50:14.840 --> 0:50:18.480 And listen, listen quarterbacks that get upset about players being drafted. 0:50:19.800 --> 0:50:22.160 I don't know. I enjoy competition. 0:50:22.920 --> 0:50:24.680 Now, if you're in your if you if you're in 0:50:24.760 --> 0:50:27.440 your thirties and your thirty something and they bringing somebody young, 0:50:27.480 --> 0:50:29.719 you already know how the business works. They're trying to 0:50:29.880 --> 0:50:31.719 they're trying to work your way out. They're gonna they're 0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:33.920 gonna work you out. It happens, though, it happens to everybody. 0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:37.520 But if I'm young, I'm you know, twenty twenty three, 0:50:37.560 --> 0:50:40.640 and you talk about drafting somebody. Oh that's fine, come on, yeah, 0:50:41.000 --> 0:50:42.040 bring bring that, bring. 0:50:41.960 --> 0:50:42.319 That in here. 0:50:42.360 --> 0:50:44.560 That's only gonna raise my level of play and make 0:50:44.680 --> 0:50:45.040 me work. 0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:47.200 It was like your college yo, yo. You know they're 0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:49.040 bringing the receivers every year. I say, well, he must 0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:51.200 be gonna play the ads because he ain't gonna never play. 0:50:51.480 --> 0:50:53.520 He ain't gonna ever see the fielding. See unless we 0:50:53.600 --> 0:50:58.520 got big, he ain't coming to here. Yeah, so hey, 0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:00.480 they draft ted, won't you. 0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:01.520 He could. 0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:03.799 He couldn't beat me out, not get hurt. I'm gonna 0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:05.480 make sure he's ready to play if I got hurt. 0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:07.920 But as far as coming in and beating me out 0:51:08.000 --> 0:51:11.040 for the job, oh no, that could never happen. 0:51:12.680 --> 0:51:13.839 Not on his best day. 0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:15.760 The volume
