Speaker 1: The Pacers one twenty six to one ten JB. Jaylen
Speaker 1: Brown drops forty points as the Celtics taker two nothing
Speaker 1: lead and Tyrese Haliburton exited the game was being reported
Speaker 1: as a sore hamstring. Remember he did miss time in
Speaker 1: the regular season. I think he missed at least ten
Speaker 1: games with that sore ham string. If he is not
Speaker 1: able to return, it was already going to be a
Speaker 1: daunting task even with him in the lineup. With him
Speaker 1: out of the lineup, I don't see how they stand
Speaker 1: much of a chance. But hey, that's why we play
Speaker 1: the game. But the Celtics aren't controlling this series. They
Speaker 1: hold Servant home after a very tough Game one victory,
Speaker 1: they come out and they cruise one twenty six to one.
Speaker 4: Ten.
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown has forty points. I think Jason Tatum had
Speaker 1: twenty three points. Dereck Wright had twenty three points as
Speaker 1: they take or to nothing lead. Oo, what'd you take.
Speaker 2: From the game?
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, for one, the Pacers they were down
Speaker 5: two to the Knicks, they were down to o two
Speaker 5: to the Knicks, and they were able to prevail and
Speaker 5: come back. Obviously, Halliburton being injured is not going to
Speaker 5: make it easy. Like you did say, it is a
Speaker 5: daunting task even with him available. Pascal Siakam had a
Speaker 5: phenomenal game. The supporting cast did what they could. But
Speaker 5: I think the Celtics are a little bit too much,
Speaker 5: a little bit too much for the Pacers. I'm hoping
Speaker 5: Halliburton can get back. A hamstring injury is something you
Speaker 5: don't play with. That's something that you do not play with.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if he'll be able to make it
Speaker 5: back to this series, but even if he is, the
Speaker 5: way it's looking and the way it's headed, it's looking
Speaker 5: like a gentleman's sweep. I hope the Pacers can steal
Speaker 5: a game and make it an interesting series. But as
Speaker 5: far as what I've seen so far from the Celtics,
Speaker 5: looks like they're going to be in the finals.
Speaker 1: This is why you win the game you're supposed to
Speaker 1: win in The Pacers supposed to win Game one, but
Speaker 1: they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And look,
Speaker 1: I understand that. Look all Boston did was whole servant home.
Speaker 1: But there's the difference between Boston and the Knicks. The
Speaker 1: Knicks were already down two guys. They're already down Jeorceh Ramda.
Speaker 1: They went down Mitchell Robinson and remember og Annoby want
Speaker 1: their best wing defender, one of their best wing defender,
Speaker 1: and the score. He goes down, Bogdanovinch, he goes down.
Speaker 1: There ain't nobody down but Porzingos they still got JT,
Speaker 1: they still got JB, they still have Derrick White.
Speaker 5: And you know what's funny, they're in control of the
Speaker 5: series right now. Porzingis was supposed to come back Game four,
Speaker 5: there's really no need for Borzenis to come back. They
Speaker 5: might as well just let him rest and heal all
Speaker 5: the way up to one hundred percent until they get
Speaker 5: to the finals. There's no need even risk it.
Speaker 4: There's no point.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing on Yoe, Let's try to make
Speaker 1: this a quick series. Let's go take care of our business.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and make this thing affoord nothing sweet. Let
Speaker 1: them guy battle it out in the West. And so
Speaker 1: now we'll get seven, eight, nine, ten days a rest.
Speaker 1: So Presingers is fully healthy because he unlocks this entire offense,
Speaker 1: because he's.
Speaker 2: Able to what he's able to do.
Speaker 1: He has a post game, he unlocks JB, he unlocks JT,
Speaker 1: and so yes, he would be a much needed asset,
Speaker 1: and he gives them size because without him in the lineup. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you're going against Minnesota, You're definitely gonna
Speaker 1: need Prezingers because you go seven to Rudy Gobert, you
Speaker 1: go seven, butt Cat, you go six. Ten, six eleven Nazrid,
Speaker 1: So you're gonna definitely need him. And even if you
Speaker 1: go even if you face the Mavericks, you go probably
Speaker 1: six to eleven. Lively, you probably go six nine six
Speaker 1: ten Gafford, so PJ.
Speaker 2: Washington.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna need somebody to battle those guys on
Speaker 1: the board. So you're definitely gonna need Presingers because he's
Speaker 1: your he's your best rim protector, and he's a guy
Speaker 1: can also score your twenty points if need too.
Speaker 5: Another thing, if it is a gentleman's sweep, do you
Speaker 5: think it affects momentum the chemistry of the team if
Speaker 5: they have that many days off before they play in
Speaker 5: the finals.
Speaker 4: I'd rather have I know, I know, I know how
Speaker 4: it works for football.
Speaker 5: You know, when you're off and you have a bye
Speaker 5: week and you come back, sometimes you're a little sluggish.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you're little sluggish and it takes time to get
Speaker 5: that momentum going. As opposed that they have right now
Speaker 5: is take is having a four old sweep? Will it
Speaker 5: do the Celtics more harm than good?
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. A gentleman sweep is five to one.
Speaker 1: I mean, for one, a sweep is four Oh, so
Speaker 1: they're boring headed towards a regular sweep or they're listing Lively.
Speaker 1: They say Lively seven to one. So you're definitely gonna
Speaker 1: need Presingers because Presingers goes seven to three. You do
Speaker 1: have Al Horford, but Al was about sixteen. But you
Speaker 1: need as many guy as you possibly can to battle
Speaker 1: on the glass. Right. But here's the thing, Oh Joe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'd probably like to like get maybe like two or
Speaker 1: three days of rest, but considering that prezingers, you need
Speaker 1: him to be at his best. You want to make
Speaker 1: him as healthy as you possibly can. The last thing
Speaker 1: you want to have happened, you bring it back. He
Speaker 1: reinjureds that calf in Game one, and now he's going
Speaker 1: for the rest of the series. I believe if we
Speaker 1: give him what he gonna probably be off somewhere between
Speaker 1: two weeks in seventeen days. I think that's probably that'll
Speaker 1: probably be a good enough opportunity for that calf to
Speaker 1: healed up, heal up, and to keep him healthy. But
Speaker 1: the Celtics did a great job tonight. And now I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to start in the controversy, but I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm breaking news. Jaylen Brown has been the best
Speaker 1: player for the Celtics in these playoffs. Yeah, as simple
Speaker 1: as that. Yeah, JB had a great game Game one,
Speaker 1: and we understand that, but he has not been terribly
Speaker 1: efficient in the process of getting the numbers that he's getting.
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown has been their most consistent player throughout these playoffs.
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at games in the
Speaker 1: first round series, the second round series, and now this one,
Speaker 1: well an opportunity to advance, Jalen Brown has been their
Speaker 1: best player. I'm not saying he is their best player,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying he's played the best.
Speaker 5: Okay, I was getting ready, I was getting ready to
Speaker 5: ask you. So I have a question about the maths.
Speaker 5: I don't mean to switch topics like this, but between
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and Jason Tatum the better player,
Speaker 5: he's just not shooting as efficient and Jaylen Brown is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think who's the better of the two? Well,
Speaker 1: I think me personally, I think Jason Tatum is the
Speaker 1: better of the two. But two things can be true.
Speaker 1: One can be the better player, but the other can
Speaker 1: be playing better. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: That's confusing to give me, give me, give give it
Speaker 5: to me in football analogy. Use use use football, use
Speaker 5: football term the football players, and I'll get a better understanding.
Speaker 1: Someone can might be the best receiver, but he didn't
Speaker 1: play better in that game. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Okay, now not now you make Now you make a
Speaker 4: sense to me.
Speaker 2: That's and so that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Sometimes a guy can be the best player, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he played the best. I believe Jason Tatum
Speaker 1: is the best player on the Celtics, but j but
Speaker 1: Jaln Brown has been playing.
Speaker 4: That term in the series, in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: In the playoffs, Jason Tatum was a first team All
Speaker 1: NBA selection JB. Although I think he should have made
Speaker 1: one of those three teams, he was not. So that's
Speaker 1: just that's that's my thought press process of it. It's
Speaker 1: not it's really not that uh. And like I said,
Speaker 1: I think and I like what the Celtics did is
Speaker 1: that they tried to.
Speaker 2: Get the ball to JB.
Speaker 1: J T Lake to try to get him going. You see,
Speaker 1: he got a couple of and ones, but he still
Speaker 1: shot nine to twenty from the floor.
Speaker 2: M hm. And so he he he's a better player.
Speaker 1: He's a more efficient player than what he's shown John,
Speaker 1: And and look, I'm good with it if we can
Speaker 1: get by with Jason Tatum not playing his A game
Speaker 1: and get to the NBA Finals. But we know in
Speaker 1: the finals, we're gonna need to be on him to
Speaker 1: be on his best behavior in order for us to
Speaker 1: be one of the teams, either the mav or the Timberwolf.
Speaker 1: Because the thing that the difference is between the two
Speaker 1: teams Kyrie and Luca, they can go get your sixty
Speaker 1: to seventy between the two of them, and then you
Speaker 1: get PJ chipping in, and you get Tim Hardaway.
Speaker 2: He live to do. You never know what you're gonna
Speaker 2: get from him. And plus now you go and and Cat.
Speaker 1: They also even Jade McDaniels has been playing really well
Speaker 1: as of late. So they're gonna need they're gonna need
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum to build his best behavior.
Speaker 5: And so yeah, go ahead going into the next game,
Speaker 5: the third game, I mean from a coaching standpoint, a
Speaker 5: coach's decision. I'm not I'm not saying I'm a coach
Speaker 5: or I'm not really familiar with the game of basketball
Speaker 5: to that extent, But if I was a coach going
Speaker 5: as the Game three, I would have the entire offense
Speaker 5: run through Jason Tatum just to get him going, just
Speaker 5: to get that confidence. And I mean it should already
Speaker 5: be there obviously for just to get him going so
Speaker 5: a numbers can be where they should be.
Speaker 4: Or does it not work like that?
Speaker 1: Because I don't want to mess up everybody else, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna run my offense. He's gonna still get the same opportunity.
Speaker 1: He's still getting the opportunity. The thing is, O Joe
Speaker 1: is to make a mis league. The ball goes in
Speaker 1: or doesn't, and more time than not for Jason Tatum
Speaker 1: this year, the ball is going in more times than not.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, he's struggling shooting the ball, especially from
Speaker 1: the perimeter. Now that's not to say he can't get
Speaker 1: it going, because when you're a great player, it could
Speaker 1: just flip like that and the next thing you know,
Speaker 1: he run a streak of thirty point games off with
Speaker 1: an and being an efficient at an efficient clip.
Speaker 2: But right now, I don't change up anything. This is
Speaker 2: what we do. We run. Look, they're very good ISO players.
Speaker 2: That's what they do. They can ISO jab can go
Speaker 2: one on one back, you down shoot over the top
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 1: We know what JT is. He's another guy. But they
Speaker 1: shoot you three a lot ojo. They swing the ball,
Speaker 1: they shoot the three big al get threes up. Derek
Speaker 1: White gets threes up.
Speaker 2: So do JT. So to JB.
Speaker 1: Preacher to come in off the bench. Howser comes in gunning.
Speaker 1: So that's what they are. Their team that likes to
Speaker 1: get up a lot of threes. Hopefully they make a
Speaker 1: lot of threes, put a lot of pressure on you,
Speaker 1: and when the threes a go, they can shoot you
Speaker 1: out the building. But when they don't, they continually take
Speaker 1: them and the team can blow them out of the building.
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's an earth shadowing news. But
Speaker 1: the Celtics look really good last tonight in a one
Speaker 1: twenty six one t Jalen Brown dropped forty points if
Speaker 1: the Celtics taking a two zero league. Now it's time
Speaker 1: for our first say with the night. It's called a.
Speaker 2: News cap news cave. JB.
Speaker 1: Bicker Staff is out as the Cleveland Cavaliers head coach,
Speaker 1: despite the franchise's first birth in the Eastern Conference semifinals
Speaker 1: in six seasons.
Speaker 2: Basically since Lebron left.
Speaker 1: The Calves dismissed their head coach JB. Bickerstaff this morning.
Speaker 1: Bicker Staff won ninety nine regular season games in the
Speaker 1: past two seasons, but the franchise hopes to land a
Speaker 1: coach that will take them take Cleveland even deeper into
Speaker 1: the Eastern co Conference. You look at his ten year
Speaker 1: od Lenny Wilkins has the most. He has three hundred
Speaker 1: and sixteen wins in seven seasons. Mike Brown has three
Speaker 1: hundred and five wins in six season. Bill Fitch, excuse me,
Speaker 1: had three hundred and four wins in nine seasons, Mike
Speaker 1: Purtello two forty eight and six, and JB. Vickers Staff
Speaker 1: had one hundred and seventy victories in five seasons.
Speaker 4: I'm confused, Okay, I'm confused. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 5: Your franchise had your first Eastern Conference Eastern Conference simmis
Speaker 5: in six seasons. So this to me, obviously this would
Speaker 5: be the best season that they've had since he's been there.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: Then you got to take injuries into account. The Big
Speaker 5: three Mobley Mitchell Allen only played twenty eight games together. Okay,
Speaker 5: So ownership, GM and those upstairs already know. Okay, if
Speaker 5: we got this far and we had injuries, why not
Speaker 5: running back again? But the same coach who got us
Speaker 5: to this point with the injuries as well? Why bringing
Speaker 5: an entirely different coach? Are you trying to pease someone else?
Speaker 5: Is there a certain player maybe by the name of
Speaker 5: Donovan Mitchell maybe that might not have gotten along with
Speaker 5: the coach. Are you trying to a pease him by
Speaker 5: bringing somebody new? Or are you really saying, you know what,
Speaker 5: let's scratch it, let's bring somebody else in new. And
Speaker 5: that's like I'm not saying I'm trying to use a comparison.
Speaker 5: Excuse me if I'm wrong, But that's like letting Mark
Speaker 5: Jackson go and bringing in mister Kerr to take over
Speaker 5: for a team that already has potential, especially when the
Speaker 5: Big three come back.
Speaker 2: But the question, am I off kilter here?
Speaker 1: You're not off kuilter, But the question is does the
Speaker 1: front office, does management, does ownership?
Speaker 2: Do they believe it's the same thing? You remember Tampa?
Speaker 1: They got Gruden out of, they got Tony dunj out
Speaker 1: of their Gruden comes in, where's the super Bowl? Mark Jackson, Lee,
Speaker 1: Steve Kirk comes in, they win the championship. It's hard
Speaker 1: to argue with the results. When you get the results
Speaker 1: that you wanted.
Speaker 5: You know what, when you have certain teams, right, and
Speaker 5: excuse me, Chad, y'all stay with me when I say this. Now,
Speaker 5: when you have certain teams and you have certain personnel,
Speaker 5: you have a certain set of players. You know, my
Speaker 5: grandma could have coached the goddamn Warriors and they would
Speaker 5: have win. They would have won the goddamn Championship. My
Speaker 5: grandma could have coached the goddamn Buccaneers when Gruden left
Speaker 5: and they would have won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, why didn't the coach went to
Speaker 1: have Kobe and Shaq went at the Lakers? If it's
Speaker 1: that easy, I know I did.
Speaker 5: I didn't say it's easy. I didn't say it's easy.
Speaker 5: But the players that you have makes it that much
Speaker 5: easier to get there. YEA coaches, coach, coaches coaches, but
Speaker 5: the players play, players get coaches fired.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who won with Michael lin Scotti? Who won with
Speaker 1: Shaq and Kobe?
Speaker 2: Phil? So if that easy? So everybody should be able
Speaker 2: to do it, right, Ah, it's not.
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes it's a word here, or it's a scheme there.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to say coach Dungee had those
Speaker 1: same players. I think the only thing he changed was
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Now, if coach Dungeon had had a Brad
Speaker 1: Johnson as a quarterback, could he have won? Maybe it's
Speaker 1: hard to say, because Oho, you know, from year to
Speaker 1: year we've seen teams right there at the NFC Championship
Speaker 1: get right there to the Super Bowl. Look at Philly,
Speaker 1: Philly within the Super Bowl brought down.
Speaker 2: To the same team back.
Speaker 4: M hm.
Speaker 2: You never know, you never know. It's a I think
Speaker 2: it's a gut for ownership.
Speaker 1: It's a gut feel that says, I think we need
Speaker 1: somebody to get us over the hump that can take
Speaker 1: us further than what we've gone.
Speaker 2: And you know, you make the decision.
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue with the decision that the Bus
Speaker 1: family made when they brought Phil in to coach Shaq
Speaker 1: and Kobe. It's hard to argue with the decision that
Speaker 1: they made when coach Gruden replaced coach Dungeon. It's hard
Speaker 1: to argue. And I know, look, I won't mark Jackson
Speaker 1: to get a job back.
Speaker 2: Help. Maybe he should go, he should go interview for
Speaker 2: the Lakers job. But it's hard to argue that.
Speaker 1: In a sist you're span go to State one four
Speaker 1: championships step with a two time league MVP, and one
Speaker 1: of those times he's the only unanimous MVP in NBA history.
Speaker 1: So with that being said, it's kind of hard when
Speaker 1: you get the results that you were hoping for all along.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I just I'm just I hate to say that.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out how to conduct the words
Speaker 5: to make it make sense. But at times coaching does matter.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that coaching does matter. When we have
Speaker 5: certain players that play together as a unit and instructured environment,
Speaker 5: they make a coaching job extremely easy where he doesn't
Speaker 5: have to do much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the biggest thing with coaches is that
Speaker 1: you have to man especially with basketball coaches, you have
Speaker 1: to men egos and your star players. You have to
Speaker 1: be able to however you mesh those, whether it's meditation,
Speaker 1: whether you say it's okay from that.
Speaker 2: But it's a lot it's a lot.
Speaker 1: More difficult to manage egos on an NBA than say,
Speaker 1: because you can have two great players, the likelihood of
Speaker 1: you having the equivalent of Patrick Mahomes at another position
Speaker 1: is not likely. What's the likely you have the equivalent
Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes at another position on the team, even
Speaker 1: if you even on the defensive.
Speaker 2: Side, it's not the same. So even if you say
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald and.
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford are the same there on the opposite side,
Speaker 1: see basketball, were out there.
Speaker 2: At the exact same time. We need to be able
Speaker 2: to communicate.
Speaker 1: We need to whatever our differences are, we need to
Speaker 1: be able to sit that aside while we on the
Speaker 1: court do what we need to do. And then, hey,
Speaker 1: we saw that cartoon when the when the dog trying
Speaker 1: to kill each other. Hey, Sam, how you doing back?
Speaker 1: They punching the clock, see you tomorrow. But when they
Speaker 1: come back on the job, you're chasing each other again.
Speaker 2: And so you think.
Speaker 4: You think players have have calls within the team, that's real. Yes,
Speaker 4: on the same team.
Speaker 5: Yes, oh boy, they show keep that under wraps because
Speaker 5: I ain't really hurting. No, I ain't never heard no
Speaker 5: issues like that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because when you get hold on, when you get
Speaker 1: too when you get two guys buying, well, it's my team, No,
Speaker 1: it's my team. Well I think I deserve I'm tired
Speaker 1: of being in the shadow. I want to move to
Speaker 1: the front.
Speaker 5: You know how you move to the front by your play.
Speaker 5: Do your play put you in front. You ain't got
Speaker 5: to do nothing else. There's no reason they're arguing with
Speaker 5: the person next to you.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 5: If you want to be the man, if it's your team,
Speaker 5: being in your team, it means it's when you show
Speaker 5: up night in, the night out.
Speaker 4: That's how you make it your team.
Speaker 5: How efficient you are, how good you are to your position,
Speaker 5: how easy and how better you make your teammates around you.
Speaker 2: It's well documented that shacking Kobe beefed.
Speaker 1: There's a reason why mister Buss got rially moved on
Speaker 1: from Shack and moved Kobe to the four. That's documented.
Speaker 1: I'm not breaking news. I'm not interrupting anybody's normally scheduled programming.
Speaker 2: You know that you've heard it.
Speaker 4: You know it.
Speaker 2: I know you didn't want to say it, but it
Speaker 2: is what it is.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 2: And that's why.
Speaker 1: That's why, Because that's why Kareem and Kareem and Magic
Speaker 1: made it. Magic say Cap what you want. It was
Speaker 1: never a situation where I'm the best, so I need
Speaker 1: to be the front. No what you want, Cap, We
Speaker 1: can win more together when we can't apart.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, how can nobody have had that conversation
Speaker 4: with Kobe and Shack during that time? How many more?
Speaker 5: How many I'm curious how many more championships will they
Speaker 5: have have if Kobe and Shack stay together?
Speaker 1: Read it all depends. Everything is contingent on Shack and
Speaker 1: how serious he was gonna take it. His body is
Speaker 1: starting to take had started to break down a little bit.
Speaker 1: He had started a miss game during the season. That
Speaker 1: urt Kobe. You See, here's the thing. When you ain't
Speaker 1: great player, mediocrity and people not working as hard as you,
Speaker 1: it'll annoy you. And if you're mediocre and you're not
Speaker 1: working hard, greatness annoys you. Right, So there's two things
Speaker 1: that play here. That's why people are like, everybody couldn't
Speaker 1: play with Mike for Jordan, No, No, because Mike had
Speaker 1: a level. Mike had a standard. It's like Tom, You played.
Speaker 4: With Tom, you know how demanding he was, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So imagine so he's demanding of fifty three. Imagine what
Speaker 1: it's like when it's twelve and y'all confine, y'all fly
Speaker 1: on the same little small play that's not a small plane,
Speaker 1: but it's a nice side flank. But you fly on
Speaker 1: this plane all the time. You sit there in meetings
Speaker 1: together all the time. You're right there on the bench
Speaker 1: together all the time. You know, when we are on
Speaker 1: the sideline on Joe defense on one bench, offense on
Speaker 1: the other beach offense standing on one side, defense standing
Speaker 1: on the other side. So and you know, you got
Speaker 1: wide receivers, got a meeting room, got a meeting room.
Speaker 1: Linebackers got a meeting room. D line old life quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: wide receivers were right there.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 5: And I know people in the chat like talking about,
Speaker 5: oh yeah Q Kobe and Kobe and Shack feuded. But
Speaker 5: as long as I played in the NFL, and I
Speaker 5: thinking about the team in general, I'm I'm I'm picturing
Speaker 5: my locker room year and the year out, and I'm
Speaker 5: trying to figure out. I can't think of it one instance. Now,
Speaker 5: maybe it's happening on other teams, maybe it's happened when
Speaker 5: you were playing, But everybody got along. There were no issues,
Speaker 5: especially personal issues. Everything was left at the door. It
Speaker 5: was it was left on the outside. So I'm like, god, damn,
Speaker 5: but what is that to argue about because I think
Speaker 5: about the game of basketball, it's only five motherfuckers on
Speaker 5: the court. And if it's five on the court, I'm
Speaker 5: sure that's everybody got the same end goal. Everybody had
Speaker 5: the same end goal. So how you can beef and
Speaker 5: but heads when everybody had the same.
Speaker 2: Way Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. But he is, so
Speaker 2: he is.
Speaker 4: That's that's personal.
Speaker 2: That's personal. That's ego.
Speaker 4: Jerry is allowing ego to get in the way.
Speaker 2: That's ego with both.
Speaker 1: I'm willing to break this thing up to be number one,
Speaker 1: Tom and Coach Belichick.
Speaker 4: Why that's tough. It is, that's tough. That's that's that
Speaker 4: that listen.
Speaker 5: That's making it a lot more complicated than it should
Speaker 5: be when the end goal should be the end goal
Speaker 5: at at the end of the day, at the end
Speaker 5: of the day, Listen, we're gonna set our difference to
Speaker 5: the side, whatever it may be. If you have any
Speaker 5: issues with me, let's talk about it, communicate. But at
Speaker 5: the end of the day, that trophy, at the end
Speaker 5: of the day is we'll be playing.
Speaker 2: For That's it.
Speaker 1: It ain't that simple because because more time than not,
Speaker 1: people would whether whether would rather lose their way than
Speaker 1: win someone else's. That's why coaches say, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna go down, I'm gonna go down doing
Speaker 1: it my weight. When players says, if I'm gonna fail,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna they're doing it my way.
Speaker 2: You did things your way.
Speaker 1: Nobody could tell you, Oh Joe, I need you to
Speaker 1: eat regular, I need you to eat this, this kind
Speaker 1: of nutritional food. You did it your way, right, So
Speaker 1: why would it be different for anybody else?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but see that's that's that's a little different. I
Speaker 5: knew it worked for my k I knew it worked
Speaker 5: for my body work for them.
Speaker 4: I I don't like that comparison by nutrition. In my diety.
Speaker 2: It happens, man, it happened, and.
Speaker 1: Takes a specially Listen, you know what I wish this
Speaker 1: Kyrie that's playing alongside Luca had he been that and
Speaker 1: he grown, We grow, we mature. He's so at peace,
Speaker 1: he got kids, now, he has a wife. Now that
Speaker 1: Kyrie with Lebron and Cleveland, Oh they can win multiple championships.
Speaker 1: Oh they win two three, absolutely, absolutely unquestioned. Because the
Speaker 1: thing was he didn't want to be second. He didn't
Speaker 1: want to be below Lebron.
Speaker 4: Wait, they had the same thing too.
Speaker 2: The man traded him. They got he got traded after
Speaker 2: they went to the NBA Finals. Oh, Jo, come on that.
Speaker 4: I thought that was a money issue. To get this money.
Speaker 4: It was time for him to get paid.
Speaker 1: They could pay him more in Cleveland than they could
Speaker 1: in Boston because he was there. They can offer the
Speaker 1: fifth year. The team that you're with can always pay
Speaker 1: you more money than if you get traded because they
Speaker 1: can give you something another team can't, which is the
Speaker 1: fifth year.
Speaker 5: Hey, but I got I got a holler at Kyrie.
Speaker 5: He should have stayed no, no, But but he had
Speaker 5: to grow. He had to grow into this Kyrie. He
Speaker 5: had to mature into this Kyrie. Everybody grows and mature
Speaker 5: at different levels. There's some people you see there, like
Speaker 5: Kobe Cope was seventeen, automatically knew what he wanted and
Speaker 5: he took chart of that path.
Speaker 1: Some guys that take a little longer. Sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: you have to go out there and you bump your
Speaker 1: own head before you realize. I had a really good situation,
Speaker 1: And Kyrie's like, you know what, I had a really
Speaker 1: good situation. He's like, I got a great situation. Now
Speaker 1: I'm nothing to fumble this one. But that's Kyrie that's
Speaker 1: played right alongside Luca. He was sensational. Go back and
Speaker 1: look at him in the finals when they won in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Go back and look at when they lost
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. Look at his numbers. Yep, people like surprise.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised he's been doing this. Yeah, he's as
Speaker 1: skilled as we have. He's skilled beyond skill. He can
Speaker 1: shoot the three, he got the mid range, his handles,
Speaker 1: either hand can pat the Rocky has it on the string.
Speaker 1: You Finally he's gonna make ninety percent of his shots.
Speaker 1: But he had to grow into this man that we
Speaker 1: see today. Charles bark Charles Barker said the morales sucks
Speaker 1: as inside the NBA remains in limbo for t and
Speaker 1: Tuck is displeased with the situation, and he inside the
Speaker 1: NBA teammates find themselves in sweating whether or not the
Speaker 1: NBA will keep Turner Brothers Discovery parent company TNT as
Speaker 1: a partner, as it's down to the y media wized negotiations.
Speaker 1: These people I work with, they screw this thing up. Clearly,
Speaker 1: we don't have zero idea, what's going to happen? And
Speaker 1: I don't feel good. I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 5: I mean it shouldn't listen. Uh, this is a no
Speaker 5: brainer to me. I enjoy watching TNT. I enjoy Shack.
Speaker 5: I enjoy the banter between Shaq, Charles Kenny and Ernie.
Speaker 4: I enjoy it. That's golden with This is reminiscent for me.
Speaker 2: Chat. Y'all stay with me.
Speaker 5: When you watch Martin and you see the cast of Martin, Pam, Gina, Cole,
Speaker 5: Martin and Tommy Yees that you can't replace that. I
Speaker 5: don't care who you substitute and who you put in.
Speaker 5: You can't substitute the chemistry that they have Nightcap. There
Speaker 5: is no chem street like Uncleanocho. You can't substitute that.
Speaker 5: You can have others that have a Nightcap.
Speaker 2: You can.
Speaker 5: You can take me out and put somebody else. You could,
Speaker 5: you could, You could take you out and put somebody else.
Speaker 5: It just won't make sense, it won't fit. I don't
Speaker 5: understand what's going over at tn T.
Speaker 4: It's a great show.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, don't Joe, what did
Speaker 2: what did Martin? Them? Come on? They came on Fox? Right?
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I'm not Let's just say we're gonna say I think
Speaker 2: it came on Fox.
Speaker 1: But let's just say, for the sake of argument, that
Speaker 1: came on Fox, and CB asked offered them more money
Speaker 1: Martin's production company more money to produce the show.
Speaker 2: Is he staying or going?
Speaker 4: Okay? Okay, he's going, Okay, Okay, now I understanding.
Speaker 1: Okay, if y'all want to stay to get there, say Chuck.
Speaker 1: If y'all want to stay together, stay together. But y'all
Speaker 1: ain't gonna have no basketball. Did you see what NBC paid,
Speaker 1: You see what ESPN is about to pay. It's about dollars. Now,
Speaker 1: if if if NBC wants to bring that on, if
Speaker 1: somebody else wants to take that on, Okay, I'm breaking it.
Speaker 4: Up, Okay, then okay, okay, that that that makes sense.
Speaker 5: So if NBC, whatever it is is going to is
Speaker 5: going to buy the rights, then I'm sure the whole
Speaker 5: group would be going. It would only make sense because
Speaker 5: you're not going to be able to replicate or replace.
Speaker 2: It, replicate it. That's NBC's call.
Speaker 4: But the higher up to NBC would would it would
Speaker 4: make sense like common sense? If if it's about business
Speaker 4: at the end of the day. And at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, it's all about dollars. It's all about dollars.
Speaker 4: You want to make a splash, you keep the golden nugget,
Speaker 4: you keep it together.
Speaker 2: That's the cash cow.
Speaker 1: No, the cash cow is the programming, which is the
Speaker 1: NBA games. That's the cash cow. There's a reason why
Speaker 1: it wasn't included in that package. Let's not forget Listen
Speaker 1: O Joe. So let me ask you a question. Do
Speaker 1: people turn in to watch the game to hear Troy
Speaker 1: and Joe Buck. Do they turn in to watch Romo
Speaker 1: and Nance or they turn in to watch Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: go against Joe Burrow And you could call the game
Speaker 1: and they still me And you can call the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboy game and they still gonna do thirty million, right,
Speaker 1: So and I get it.
Speaker 2: I love it. I think that's that's one of the
Speaker 2: best studio.
Speaker 1: Shows that's ever been put together because they play so
Speaker 1: well off of each other. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses,
Speaker 1: and everybody can play to the strength and stay away
Speaker 1: from the weaknesses.
Speaker 2: Chunk picks on, Chuck picks on, Shot Shot picks on.
Speaker 1: Chuck, and Kenny is in between, and the greatest traffic
Speaker 1: car that's ever been created. Kenny is Ernie excuse me,
Speaker 1: Ernie Johnson. So this works great together. I'm not saying they.
Speaker 2: I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I agree with you that somebody should take this show,
Speaker 1: and whoever has the right. I don't think it'll be ESPN,
Speaker 1: but NBC or Amazon or whomever else have the right,
Speaker 1: that should be the studio show.
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny when I think about it, is
Speaker 5: people are gonna tune in to watch the game, regardless,
Speaker 5: that was the package. People are gonna tune in and
Speaker 5: watch the game regardless. But you know what else they're
Speaker 5: gonna tune in the watch. They're gonna tune in the
Speaker 5: watch Chuck. Yes, oh, they definitely. They definitely tune in
Speaker 5: to watch that. Matter of fact, when it's halftime, people
Speaker 5: won't even get up from they god damn se just
Speaker 5: to see what the boys finna talk about. Because you
Speaker 5: never know what you're gonna get. That's what I like
Speaker 5: about it. That's what I like about Washington TNT show.
Speaker 5: You never know what you're gonna get. The feeling of
Speaker 5: the unknown and unexpected is why people watch and you
Speaker 5: can't get that anywhere else unless you're watching us.
Speaker 1: Look, unlook, Charles Barkley, everybody that gets in this space,
Speaker 1: like in the media, especially now, that looks like you
Speaker 1: and I, we ordaint to Charles Barkley because he's not
Speaker 1: journalistically trained. He didn't go to try to get this annunciation.
Speaker 1: He mispronounced words and he plays along with it.
Speaker 2: So we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Charles Barkley. Yeah. Look, look,
Speaker 2: the show is amazing.
Speaker 1: They're the reason why that studio show wins Emmy after Emmy.
Speaker 1: There's a reason why Chuck wins Emmy after Emmy. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the NBA sold the
Speaker 1: rights to basketball. They don't sell the right to the
Speaker 1: studio shows. They sold the rights to.
Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, and I got I got you that.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 4: I just listen.
Speaker 5: I'm saying, I'm picturing myself in a position of power,
Speaker 5: as in a position of power to make that call. Obviously,
Speaker 5: maybe the person that it has the money that's sitting
Speaker 5: up top might not have the same view as I do,
Speaker 5: but it just to me, it just makes sense. Some
Speaker 5: things don't some things do Some things Ray Charles could
Speaker 5: even see and breaking them up. If there's a package
Speaker 5: where you just bought howvery much it was the show
Speaker 5: NBA Games on your platform, guess who might have come
Speaker 5: with me them?
Speaker 4: God damn folk.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I understand. I understand what you get once
Speaker 5: they're on that TV.
Speaker 1: Oh, their studio show is unbelievable, and everybody tries to
Speaker 1: replicate it. But it's hard to replicate something that has
Speaker 1: that kind of chemistry. They've got such a big lead
Speaker 1: on everybody else. That's what makes them so great. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like what PTI did with Tony and Mike
Speaker 1: Welbond because there were colleagues at the Washington Post. They
Speaker 1: know each other, they play well off each other, and
Speaker 1: there's a reason why they've been going twenty plus years
Speaker 1: and it seems like just yesterday. It's hard to replicate chemistry.
Speaker 1: It's hard, yeah, and so you either have it or
Speaker 1: you don't. Some people can can can instantaneous, and some
Speaker 1: people it might take you a year or two to
Speaker 1: like fill somebody out. Now, obviously they had a better
Speaker 1: opportunity because they worked together.
Speaker 2: You know, we're working at the Washington Post.
Speaker 1: I mean people are like, well, you know, how well
Speaker 1: did you know what Joe, I said, I knew of it,
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I interviewed him one time.
Speaker 1: I said, but we brought across each other. But it's
Speaker 1: not like we have the relationship that we have now, right,
Speaker 1: I said. But the thing that when I wanted to
Speaker 1: put something together, I said, I need somebody that doesn't
Speaker 1: take himself too serious, understands the game.
Speaker 2: But we're gonna have to in order for the show
Speaker 2: to grow. We just can't talk football. I knew we
Speaker 2: were gonna have to tell some stories.
Speaker 1: I just didn't know how we're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: get to the stories, to be able to tell, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's stuff that happened in the locker room, and you
Speaker 1: can say, well, an, I remember this time when I
Speaker 1: was in the locker room and this happened, and I
Speaker 1: can say that, But we talk about so much more
Speaker 1: than just sports, and so I'm gonna need somebody that
Speaker 1: that can not can not take himself ferious, that can
Speaker 1: take a joke, that can joke, and he understands that
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this is entertainment.
Speaker 2: That's what this is. This is entertainment.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to be as knowledgeable as an informative
Speaker 1: as we possibly can.
Speaker 5: And I'm getting better better with my knowledge on basketball.
Speaker 5: I'm getting better, but I'm getting there. And here, hey, listen,
Speaker 5: they oh, they've been killing me today on Twitter. By boy,
Speaker 5: they've been killing me on to day on Twitter about
Speaker 5: the w NBA stuff. So, I mean, you and Gil
Speaker 5: had a conversation and brought up some stuff that I
Speaker 5: wasn't knowledge about.
Speaker 1: Bird and magic. Let let bird and magice. Let Caitlin
Speaker 1: Clark and Andreelies. Let them get so of the club,
Speaker 1: Let them get Look whatever you might think, Look whatever
Speaker 1: you might think.
Speaker 2: Of this new crop.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, more people started talking
Speaker 1: about the w NBA this year than at any point
Speaker 1: in time in the history of the w NBA. They're
Speaker 1: thinking about ESPN is thinking about doing possibly doing a
Speaker 1: studio show w NBA today, just like the NBA today,
Speaker 1: just like NFL line. So whatever you think of these
Speaker 1: young ladies, I'm just gonna sit back and I get it.
Speaker 2: It's hard. It's just nature. That's kind of what happened.
Speaker 1: You remember, Ohoe, when they went to a pay scale
Speaker 1: for the rookies because the bets got so upset that
Speaker 1: guys coming in that had never thrown an NFL football
Speaker 1: except on their pro date, was making just as much money.
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford became the highest player in the NFL as
Speaker 1: a rookie. Yeah, and the players like okay, which played
Speaker 1: right into the played right into the hands of the
Speaker 1: owners because guess what they said. You know what, guys,
Speaker 1: We thank you guys, because this will give us an
Speaker 1: opportunity to keep more veteran players because we don't have
Speaker 1: to play these rookies this large sum of money. We
Speaker 1: put them on the pay scale. Blah blah blah. What
Speaker 1: day they did to the band? So Joe telling people
Speaker 1: at home what they did to the bands?
Speaker 2: Cut them? Yeah, cut them? Yeah, yeah, they moved on
Speaker 2: without them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all bo band because they told you, oh, this
Speaker 1: is gonna allow us to keep more bets on the team.
Speaker 1: Where you go with hold on? You tell me the occupation?
Speaker 1: How were the occupations? You know that you say, you know,
Speaker 1: the most you can make is this amount of.
Speaker 4: Money, right, Ain't too many of them now? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I get, but I'm saying, had you had they said, okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep veterans, and you know, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: God us in his tenth year, because sometimes you need
Speaker 1: veteran presence in the locker room, right.
Speaker 2: Everything.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just can't quantify the importance of a voice.
Speaker 1: Everything can't be measured in play, right, Like what you
Speaker 1: deep provided for the heat, you couldn't quantify it, right.
Speaker 1: But he kept the locker room, he kept the heat culture.
Speaker 1: He made sure everybody understood why they were there and
Speaker 1: what they needed to do while they were there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so that's that's the thing that I'm just saying, Look,
Speaker 1: just be happy the mere fact that we're talking about
Speaker 1: the w NBA as much as we do. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: weren't gonna be talking. We weren't talking about no w NBA.
Speaker 1: Nobody was talking about w NBA.
Speaker 5: Listen, I mean listen. They were getting on me. They
Speaker 5: were cussing me out, and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa
Speaker 5: whoa time out, time out, time out?
Speaker 2: On Tuesday?
Speaker 4: Was it Tuesday Tuesday or Thursday?
Speaker 2: Thursday? Was my first game?
Speaker 5: That was my first experience, and it was awesome. Yes,
Speaker 5: so I chimed in on my personal experience. You and
Speaker 5: Gil are a little bit more knowledgeable about the w
Speaker 5: NBA and how the long it's been around and how
Speaker 5: the logistics of it works. I don't know that, so
Speaker 5: I didn't chime in. So somebody they were coming at
Speaker 5: me on Twitter saying, well, I'm complicit because I didn't
Speaker 5: engage in a conversation. I knew nothing about I didn't
Speaker 5: know anything about it. All I can talk about is,
Speaker 5: holy shit, mis Renee Montgomery invited me to a game
Speaker 5: in the adminsphere was awesome as opposed to what I've
Speaker 5: always heard on Twitter. I said, y'all lied to me
Speaker 5: on Twitter and told me the w NBA wasn't good
Speaker 5: and it wasn't exciting, and it was the opposite of
Speaker 5: what I experienced. That was it, And now now what's
Speaker 5: gonna happen now is I'm making my way. I'm going
Speaker 5: to Indiana game, which is not too far from Cincinnati.
Speaker 5: I'm going to a Chicago game. I'm gonna make my
Speaker 5: way to Vegas. I'm gonna start buying jerseys and wearing jerseys.
Speaker 5: So while I'm learning and getting better at learning, not
Speaker 5: just the NBA. Now, I'm finna actually integrate WNBA into
Speaker 5: it too. So we're gonna have w NBA nightcap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and we talk about it. We talk
Speaker 1: about Caitlin Clark. We talk about angelies. We've talked about
Speaker 1: Cameron Brink and Rikilla Jackson and Cardoza just came back.
Speaker 2: I think she just came back. You're dealing with a
Speaker 2: Shoda injury.
Speaker 1: But no matter what they think, people are talking more
Speaker 1: about the w NBA this year than they have of
Speaker 1: at any other point in.
Speaker 2: Time in the w n b a history. It's facts.
Speaker 1: Now. If you don't want to give this, you this
Speaker 1: young class, uh Clark and Reeves and these young girls.
Speaker 1: If y'all don't want to give them, okay, fine, but
Speaker 1: the windfall is going to come, and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a large part because of those young ladies.
Speaker 2: And that's all.
Speaker 1: I don't care where the money coming from. I don't, right,
Speaker 1: I mean in the NFL. You do you think, uh
Speaker 1: you think Borough cares like man man? These games gonna
Speaker 1: be streamed on Netflix, these games on Amazon.
Speaker 2: It's straight the streaming platforms.
Speaker 4: All I know.
Speaker 1: Direct the positive here. I get that alert, go y.
Speaker 1: Not what I care about the reasons.
Speaker 2: Unimportant to me.
Speaker 5: It matter and listen you you've been You've been to
Speaker 5: w NBA game before. I have not listen the Atlanta
Speaker 5: Dream the Atlanta Dream and that atmosphere that had an opportunity.
Speaker 4: Listen, they said they set a precedent.
Speaker 5: So now when I travel and go to the other
Speaker 5: days w n B a game, I'm expecting the atmosphere
Speaker 5: to be like it was in Atlanta, because that ship
Speaker 5: was amazing. Not only that, the game was good. I
Speaker 5: don't want to pronounce her name wrong. She played for
Speaker 5: the Dallas Wings. But a comparison to me, man, she
Speaker 5: was out that she was at that bitch looking like
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving. She was I don't know how to pronounce
Speaker 5: her last name in the right way. Yeap, Oh my goodness. Listen,
Speaker 5: but they got a young one. They got a is
Speaker 5: it Lisa See I'm bound.
Speaker 2: For the Dream? Great miss Great ms Gray was nice.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 5: Miss Aria Powells was nice. They got she played the five.
Speaker 5: I I can't remember what number you wore. She played
Speaker 5: the fire for the Dream. Oh my goodness, man out
Speaker 5: there looking like a chem Elijah one down in the block,
Speaker 5: Hey calling for the man stop playing. Then the crowd
Speaker 5: O j.
Speaker 2: O joe. See this is where you need to get
Speaker 2: messed up at. That's Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Go to a go to a Falcons game, it's crunk,
Speaker 1: just like that you go to you go to a
Speaker 1: w NBA game in Atlanta, it's trunk, just like that,
Speaker 1: go to the go to the soccer game, it is crump.
Speaker 2: Just like everybody gonna be crunk. Then you know how
Speaker 2: they do it in the a You.
Speaker 1: Okay, because who in the stand what they look like
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, and so you got to have it crunk
Speaker 1: that that thing with.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones wasn't happy about the Giants considering drafted a
Speaker 1: quarterback in round one. When asked about the club looking
Speaker 1: at the potential replacement, Johnes said, I mean it wasn't
Speaker 1: fired up about it. His injury history and the on
Speaker 1: field struggles for much of his five year career led
Speaker 1: the Giant, who picked number six over on the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four draft, to take deep dives into rookie quarterbacks
Speaker 1: coming out. At the end of the day, they drafted
Speaker 1: play making wide receivers from elite neighbors. The reality is
Speaker 1: is that he's entering the make up break season despite
Speaker 1: just signing a four year, one hundred and sixty million
Speaker 1: dollar contract extension last offseason.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and that's exactly what it is. It's a
Speaker 5: make of the break a year. They paid to that
Speaker 5: money they lets say kwan walk. So now the onus
Speaker 5: of the team is on you. How far the team
Speaker 5: goes is on you. I'm not saying you're Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 5: but you're going to have to be very Patrick mahomish
Speaker 5: this year. So when the pieces are missing and allowing
Speaker 5: other people to walk, you have to pick up You
Speaker 5: got to pick up that offensively.
Speaker 4: You have to pick it up. As a quarterback, yeah,
Speaker 4: you have to.
Speaker 5: And if they did bring a quarter back in, listen,
Speaker 5: Drew Locke gonna push you for that job.
Speaker 2: Now he should.
Speaker 4: Drew Locke is going to push you for that job.
Speaker 5: I don't care if they paid your three hundred million,
Speaker 5: because if you get to get if you if you
Speaker 5: start off on four or you start off on five,
Speaker 5: guests who.
Speaker 4: Finished check into the ball game? Yeah, luck guess who
Speaker 4: finish check into the ball game? Okay, and they get
Speaker 4: they get you got you got Malague, Neighbors, You got
Speaker 4: to use it.
Speaker 2: You got to use it.
Speaker 4: You bet you You're better using the best way you can.
Speaker 5: And I'm hoping mylie Neighbors comes in like a Jamar
Speaker 5: Chase or like a Justin Jefferson, where there is no
Speaker 5: learning curve. He hits the ground running right away because
Speaker 5: of it, because of the atmosphere he comes from, because
Speaker 5: of the environment he comes from. He should be ready
Speaker 5: to play. He should be ready to play right and
Speaker 5: it should be nothing to him.
Speaker 2: Look at the quarterbacks at each other about with throwing
Speaker 2: to those.
Speaker 4: Guys, jayde Dames, No Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and first c first Cousins with throwing to
Speaker 1: with throwing to Justin Jefferson in Minnesota.
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, that's right. Oh shit, Okay, I see
Speaker 4: what you're saying. Hey, but wait a minute.
Speaker 5: If there is a weakness in Daniel Jones, you know
Speaker 5: a superstar receiver can hide those weaknesses if you if
Speaker 5: you're that guy, you know that who thought he was that?
Speaker 5: If Malik Neighbors is what I think he is and
Speaker 5: what I've seen, he can hide those weaknesses.
Speaker 2: Well, he gonna have to play better. Oh, Joe, hes
Speaker 2: gonna have to play better than what I seen.
Speaker 1: Myleaku Neighbor was way Why to call that bet off
Speaker 1: because he's like, hold on, they ain't driving no quarterback man.
Speaker 2: I got Danny Nicholas throwing to me. Man, I'm out
Speaker 2: of the bed in the NFL.
Speaker 5: You know, I don't won't know it, hey, but listen
Speaker 5: from a receiver standpoint, I'm thinking about my mentality, mylik
Speaker 5: neighbors mentality is probably the same way.
Speaker 4: Just get the ball, and.
Speaker 2: Who would your quarterback before Carson?
Speaker 5: John Kittnam and I went crazy with John Kittennam what
Speaker 5: I went. I went dummy with Kidnap, you know, And
Speaker 5: I ain't care. Listen, the Sisters of the North could
Speaker 5: have been my quarterback. I'm finna get jiggy, I'm finna
Speaker 5: be open. Just put the ball and just put the
Speaker 5: ball in the vicinity. Just put it in the area.
Speaker 2: Bepen.
Speaker 1: Have you watched him play? Who you watched Danny? You
Speaker 1: watched him play Daniel Jones play?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a good dual threat quarterback. He's a good
Speaker 4: dude threat quarterback.
Speaker 2: I mean, you say, put it in your vicinity? You know,
Speaker 2: uh uh Noork is in the vicinity of the medalans.
Speaker 2: It's in jerk. You know what I'm saying. You say,
Speaker 2: put it in thecinity. Lord Manhattan is in the vicinity, right, Yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Know you know what I mean. Listen.
Speaker 5: I think when when certain quarterbacks that aren't elite, yeah,
Speaker 5: and you get special talent, elite talent receiver that have
Speaker 5: that factor, they raise your level of play and they
Speaker 5: make you look better than what you actually are.
Speaker 4: And I think that's what Malik Neighbors can be for
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully Dolphins ave lied it a little better.
Speaker 1: But the thing is that really helps young quarter They're
Speaker 1: only a handful of quarterbacks that's come into the league.
Speaker 1: It didn't have a running game, a running back that
Speaker 1: could take some of that pressure off you, pressure off
Speaker 1: of me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, I mean we'll see. I think they signed they
Speaker 1: signed a running back. I don't I forget who they
Speaker 1: signed in free agency. So it's gonna be very interesting
Speaker 1: to see how this thing works out. You know, I
Speaker 1: know the Giants fan of getting very very frustrated with
Speaker 1: the quarterback play.
Speaker 2: And you know they had Eli and Eli.
Speaker 1: You know they Eli Eli was perfect for New York
Speaker 1: because nothing bothered him. It might have been bothered him
Speaker 1: all along, It might have drove him crazy, but you
Speaker 1: couldn't tell. You never know. He didn't show no emotions
Speaker 1: on the field, didn't show any motion on the sideline. Now,
Speaker 1: he he might have got home and yelled into his pillow.
Speaker 1: But all I've said is that when he's on the field,
Speaker 1: and then Daniel Jones is just is. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that bothers him, but I just like, Look, I understand
Speaker 1: quarterbacks is like, but I love competition. They signed Devin
Speaker 1: Singletary okay in free agency, but you know, for the quarterback,
Speaker 1: you know, and people like with sure to make the play. Look,
Speaker 1: if he can't beat me out for the job, I
Speaker 1: don't give it. Damn how good he is. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: the guy can't beat the quarterback out for the job,
Speaker 1: he doesn't get to.
Speaker 2: Play, right. I like it.
Speaker 5: And listen, listen quarterbacks that get upset about players being drafted.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I enjoy competition.
Speaker 5: Now, if you're in your if you if you're in
Speaker 5: your thirties and your thirty something and they bringing somebody young,
Speaker 5: you already know how the business works. They're trying to
Speaker 5: they're trying to work your way out. They're gonna they're
Speaker 5: gonna work you out. It happens, though, it happens to everybody.
Speaker 5: But if I'm young, I'm you know, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 5: and you talk about drafting somebody. Oh that's fine, come on, yeah,
Speaker 5: bring bring that, bring.
Speaker 2: That in here.
Speaker 4: That's only gonna raise my level of play and make
Speaker 4: me work.
Speaker 1: It was like your college yo, yo. You know they're
Speaker 1: bringing the receivers every year. I say, well, he must
Speaker 1: be gonna play the ads because he ain't gonna never play.
Speaker 1: He ain't gonna ever see the fielding. See unless we
Speaker 1: got big, he ain't coming to here. Yeah, so hey,
Speaker 1: they draft ted, won't you.
Speaker 2: He could.
Speaker 1: He couldn't beat me out, not get hurt. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make sure he's ready to play if I got hurt.
Speaker 1: But as far as coming in and beating me out
Speaker 1: for the job, oh no, that could never happen.
Speaker 2: Not on his best day.
Speaker 4: The volume
