00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: I hate doing this.

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 3: I don't want to quote someone unless I know exactly

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 3: like who it is and what the quote is. But hey,

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 3: it's sports radio. We're just having fun, so I can

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 3: be honest with you. I think I think. Yes, good

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 3: evening everybody, and hello to Ephraim.

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: Salaam.

9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 3: We'll we'll, we'll, we'll do the casualties here in just

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 3: a second.

11
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: But like I want to, I want to make sure

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: I get this right.

13
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: I only am ninety nine point nine percent sure it

14
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: was Maya Angelou, right, Ephraim, who said, basically, once somebody

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 3: tells you who they are, believe them.

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: I think it was Maya Angelou. Does that sound familiar

17
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: to you?

18
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: It does sound familiar. Okay, all right, don't argue them,

19
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: thank you. Let's go with that premise. But first, hello,

20
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 3: good evening.

21
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: Hey, how are you? I'm so good?

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 3: When three weeks from today is a football Sunday, it

23
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: is I don't know, three weeks from yeah, twenty one days. Oh,

24
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: you're gonna watch some good You watch the Broncos, I'll

00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: watch the Niners. In the Saints, he can play some

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 3: football here in the second brock Perdy, your god.

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my good.

28
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: Anyway, once someone tells you who they are, believe them.

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: Believe them.

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: But we don't do that in the NFL. We don't

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: do that with quarterbacks. I'll tell you why I'm talking

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: about that in a second. Let's get into it. We're

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com studios tyre dot com.

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: We'll hope you get there.

Speaker 3: On match selection, fast free shipping, free road AzID protection,

36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: over ten thousand recommended installers, tyreck dot com the way.

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: Tire buying should be.

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: Now, it's August football, and there's nothing more irrational, uh,

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: in the sports world than August football, where we go

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: crazy over preseason performances, practice, interceptions, rumors, innuendo, holdouts, blah

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: blah blah, and then September comes and we go, yeah,

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: forgot that August even happened.

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying that anything was gospel yesterday.

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: But talk to me, my man, about the quarterback position,

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: because I feel like, if you're an NFL team and

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: you needed to address the quarterback position, there's one.

47
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: Of two ways to do that.

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,559
Speaker 3: You either, if there's a really good established free agent available,

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: go all in kirk Cousins Atlanta, or at least give

50
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: yourself the chance at something fresh and new by putting

51
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: all your resources into the draft.

52
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: Hey look, Atlanta did.

53
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: Both, But like, go get something that you either know

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: is good or could be good. Don't sign someone who

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: has not been good with the idea in mind that

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: will make them good. They'll be good here. They're not

57
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: good elsewhere, but they'll be good here. Has that ever? Like,

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: I spent all day not all day, I'm lying, but

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: a good portion of today trying to think of an

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: example of somebody and I don't just me know they

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: were kind of wobbly as a rookie and then they popped,

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: But like somebody.

63
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 2: Who performed poorly.

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: And then went somewhere else and popped and was really good.

65
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: Can you think of any examples of that at the

66
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: quarterback position?

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: I don't want to say. The first thing that came

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: to mind when you said that was number one, Brett

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: Favre okay, right, number two? Well, most people just equate

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: Brett fav with green Bay. Green Bay, yes, but was

71
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: in Atlanta first?

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.

73
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 4: And the next thing, I sort of kind of would

74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: beat Drew Brees, although so and you know this because

75
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: you you know San Diego.

76
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: Yep, you know it.

77
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: Drew Brees was okay, it was good, it was good.

78
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 4: He was okay, he was good. He wasn't what we

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 4: found him to be. No, that's accurate, right, And so

80
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 4: he goes to the Saints, hooks up with Sean Payton

81
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 4: and becomes that guy. Only it just it only took

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: Tom Brady playing twenty years to beat Drew Brees's records.

83
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: How about that.

84
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: Most people don't even see they don't even know that

85
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: and see that, But it took Tom Brady twenty years

86
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: to beat Drew Brees's passing records, touchdowns, all of those things.

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: I feel like your examples are good. But also the

88
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 3: quarterbacks you picked like they weren't performing poorly, they got better.

89
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: I think we can come up with examples of people

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: who got better, But I I am. This conversation is

91
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: inspired by Russell Wilson and Justin Fields at a Steelers

92
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: offense that looks like it's in trouble and instead instead

93
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: of spending the year like they did last year and

94
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: going we don't have any quarterbacks this year, they can go, no,

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: now we've got two. Now they can't play either. But

96
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: it's okay because you know, you know who they are, right,

97
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: you know who they are. One of them used to

98
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: be able to play, and the other one is like

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: this confusing.

100
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: We think maybe he can play.

101
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 3: He plays fantasy football really well, but ah, you know,

102
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: like the Bears only gave up on him because that

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: generational talent was sitting there at number one overall. I

104
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: don't know, man, and I don't mean to come out

105
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: that hard guns of blazing because of some preseason action.

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: Well no, that's fine, but but come on, man, Like

107
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: the Raiders, the Raiders and the Steelers decided not as

108
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah you punted.

109
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's basically. That's basically. They decided that they were

110
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 4: not going to address the issues that us, the world

111
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: and everybody else knew that they had, and they were

112
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: going to use band aids to try to figure it out.

113
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 4: This is an interesting topic because when I was watching

114
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 4: that Steeler game, of course I'm pulling for Russell. I

115
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: know him, uh, and so I was like, okay, Russ,

116
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: this is your opportunity. The thing I saw was number one.

117
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on on the offensive line,

118
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: but it's got to get better. That's the first thing.

119
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: Number two, he holds the ball too long. Yep, it's

120
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 4: way too long. He did it in Denver, he did it,

121
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 4: and you know he was he got in Seattle. He

122
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 4: had a really good offensive line, and so you can

123
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: get away withholding the ball too long. Oh oh, By

124
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: the way, he had some old receivers out there in

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 4: DK and and you know the bevy of receivers that

126
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: they had out there. And he wasn't a declining player, right,

127
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: he was on the upswing. Yes, he's going the other way.

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: And so to me, it seems like everything has to

129
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: be perfect for him to be effective, and nothing's ever

130
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: going to be perfect, especially at a new team, new system,

131
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: knew everything. So watching him struggle, watching him hold the

132
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 4: ball too much, his mobility isn't what it used to be, right,

133
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: he used to He never was a real big mobile guy,

134
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: but he was always able to get out of trouble,

135
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: eyes down the field, make the play, extend the play,

136
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: I should say, uh, being off script, that's not the

137
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: case anymore.

138
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: It was tough to watch, but.

139
00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 4: There's some there's some hope there, right, there's some hope

140
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: that their defense is going to be so good that

141
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: they'll keep them in low scoring games. Right, that's gonna help,

142
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: because let's be honest, Russell Wilson made his name with

143
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: a defense that kept them in all of the games

144
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: for the first four or five years of his career.

145
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 4: Like his defense, those games, you didn't have to do much,

146
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: although they will put up numbers, and you at Marshawn

147
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: Lynch and that you can control the ground and the

148
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: time and all of those things. When that start to

149
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 4: fall apart is when we start to hear let Russ

150
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 4: cook and let me do this, and it never quite

151
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: got back to where it was. So that leads me

152
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: to believe, Okay, this is who he is. This doesn't

153
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 4: bode well for Pittsburgh or any other team that is

154
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 4: going to require his services. Didn't work in Denver, all oh.

155
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 4: I didn't like the approach that Sean Payton took with

156
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson. There was a lack of respect there and

157
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: I'm not cool with that. Even though I also know

158
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 4: Sean coach Payton. He was at San Diego State when

159
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: I was at San Diego State. So when I when

160
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: when when Justin Fields came into the game, I will

161
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: say this, although it wasn't like, oh man, what I

162
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: will say is, oh, this is more exciting.

163
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh this is more exciting.

164
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 4: Now he can't throw receivers open, or he struggles with

165
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: those timing balls. He overthrew a wide open tight end

166
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: in the end zone. But what he's able to do

167
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: in terms of extending plays with his legs, that's exciting.

168
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 2: Right.

169
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: That made me sit up and be like, oh, okay,

170
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: he's going to extend the drive right his third and twelve,

171
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 4: Oh pocket breaks down or no one is open there,

172
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 4: he goes, he's out and he up first down. I

173
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: enjoyed that aspect of it. But in terms of we

174
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: have our guy as a starting quarterback that can the

175
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: the only division and hit in football where no team

176
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 4: was under five hundred. That's never happened before, but it

177
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: happened last year in that division. So that's the toughest

178
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 4: division in football. So that in the probably the NFC North.

179
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: So it's one of those situations where that's these two guys.

180
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 4: If you can combine, you can combine their abilities together,

181
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: then we may have something you can't. And so I

182
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 4: look for them to struggle a little bit. I like

183
00:10:52,080 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: the excitement of most of justin fields but you know,

184
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: do you trust us? Can you trust Russ? And we'll

185
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: see it didn't. I wasn't excited. I wasn't blown away

186
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 4: either way. But you know, it's funny how they didn't

187
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 4: really address the situation.

188
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: Now.

189
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: Of course they think they did because they got two

190
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 4: guys in uh, one who most likely will find his

191
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 4: way into the Hall of Fame at some point and

192
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 4: one who showed promise at the end of the season

193
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: last year. So they figured, Okay, we've addressed it. But

194
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: I don't think they did in my opinion.

195
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they addressed it, it's just that you know,

196
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: they didn't.

197
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: They addressed it, but they didn't answer the points.

198
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 3: No, no, like they punted and the Raiders is an't

199
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: even bigger head scratched.

200
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like coming home and being like, hey, coming

201
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 4: home late and your wife's like, where were you? And

202
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 4: you were like, I was out you right? You addressed it,

203
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 4: but you didn't. I mean you answered, you didn't address it.

204
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 4: You answered it, but you didn't address it. Where were you?

205
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: I was out right? Right?

206
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 3: Is dinner ready? Make yourself dinner? There there's an answer.

207
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 3: The issues are not addressed.

208
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: I get it.

209
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: And that's to me where you don't want to end up.

210
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: And maybe they all did it in such a way

211
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: that they are just kicking the can down the road

212
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: and they can wiggle right out of this again next year.

213
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: And maybe they just didn't feel like they could get

214
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: into the other available options. So I understand that, but

215
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: if I were a fan of those teams, I would

216
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: feel a lot of trepidation about where this sits as

217
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: you start the season. And both the teams were talking

218
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 3: about have huge name receivers who are not going to

219
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 3: be silent if things are frustrating again in DeVante Adams

220
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: and George Pickens, who might have been the two most

221
00:12:53,679 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: angry receivers in the NFL last year not named AJ Brown. Anyway,

222
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: there's that side to it. And then there's a third team.

223
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: There's a third team that addressed their quarterback position by

224
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: not addressing their quarterback position, and yesterday that became the

225
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 3: most confusing.

226
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: One of them all.

227
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: And we'll tell you exactly which team we're talking about

228
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: here in a moment. We do want to send out

Speaker 3: This is all happening in the tie rag dot com

261
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: studios along with e from Salam. I'm Mark Willard. Our

262

Speaker 3: third member of our team. Stephen de Seger will be

263
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: along shortly. So if the Steelers and Raiders didn't address

264
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: their quarterback situation appropriately, then he from what did the

265
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: New York Giants do? I am very very concerned just

266
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: as a human being to see what is going to

267
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: happen with young Malik Neighbors. I'm a huge fan. I

268
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: think he's phenomenal. I think he can't miss. I also

269
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: think he's a gamer, and he's intense, and he right

270
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: now is set up for a Garrett Wilson type season.

271
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: And what I mean by that if you watch Garrett

272
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: Wilson last year, he had like a billion targets and

273
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 3: then maybe got a thousand year I have to look

274
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: at the numbers. But playing with Zach Wilson and a

275
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: parade of I'm not even sure I can remember as

276
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: the Jets quarterbacks last year, it was very, very frustrating.

277
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: And so I wonder what's going to happen here, because

278
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: now that I've watched Hard Knocks and you watch the

279
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: Giants literally on HBO call teams at the top of

280
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: the draft and be like, we would like the first pick,

281
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: or the second pick, or the or the third pick.

282
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: We'd like to do that. We'd like to go get

283
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: a quarterback. And those teams were all like, we kind

284
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: of want to get a quarterback too, and the Giants

285
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: sort of in this blase where we're like, well, that's fine,

286
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: We'll stick with Daniel Jones. But by no stretch was

287
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: that a big auta boy.

288
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: That was not a huge sign of support.

289
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: And he comes out and looks like he did yesterday,

290
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: one of the more embarrassing pick six as I've ever seen.

291
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, unbelievable, like, uh, what did the Giants do? Like?

292
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 3: I love Molik Neighbors, but I think i'd I think

293
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: i'd have not drafted Melik neighbors and either try to

294
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 3: move up or hell, take Petix do something.

295
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 4: The problem is, and it maybe not be that much

296
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: of a problem because essentially Atlanta did the same thing.

297
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 4: They committed so much money to Daniel Jones last.

298
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 2: Year by a mistake.

299
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: Once you make a big mistake like that, it continues

300
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: to haunt you. So instead of signing the leader of

301
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 4: the offense and their captain, Saquon Barkley, they franchise tagged

302
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 4: them and made them pay for play for nothing basically,

303
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: and decided they were gonna pay Daniel Jones with forty

304
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 4: five million dollars a year for the next five years,

305
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 4: which was I mean, nothing he had done had warranted that,

306
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 4: in my opinion. So now you're faced a year after

307
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 4: that decision, you're faced with a hefty price that I'm

308
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: sure maybe they were trying to trade them. Nobody's picking

309
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: that price tag up. Nobody's gonna step in that hole.

310
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 4: And so there's a situation where, Okay, do we go

311
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 4: out and just get a young quarterback. We're already paying

312
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 4: a quarterback a lot of money, so at least the

313
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: guy can sit for a year or whatever. The problem

314
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: with that is, if they were to get one of

315
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 4: those young quarterbacks they we thought they were trying to get,

316
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: he would be better than Daniel Jones immediately. And so

317
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: this notion of sitting a young player down and having

318
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: him learn, and what happens when the student becomes the

319
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: teacher and you're paying your backup quarterback forty forty five

320
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 4: million excuse me, forty five million dollars a year. I

321
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: don't think they wanted to be put in that situation.

322
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 4: That's a tough situation to have to explain to the

323
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 4: owner every day. And so they were like, Okay, maybe

324
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 4: we can get some pieces around him, possibly shore up

325
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 4: this offensive line and possibly, you know, create a situation

326
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 4: where Daniel Jones kid maybe tap into that that we

327
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: saw two years ago. But a lot of that will

328
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 4: say Kwon Barkley two years ago, which still made me

329
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: scratch my head and why they would pay the wrong guy,

330
00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 4: especially when you knew how good the quarterback class was

331
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 4: last year, right this year? Excuse me, Yeah, Like when

332
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: you knew that, you've still felt the need to sign

333
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones to a long term deal when you could

334
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: have paid Sa Kwan kept that there, and then you

335
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: could have franchised tagged Daniel Jones if you needed to.

336
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: I just I look around the league, and I feel

337
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 3: for any fan base that looks at their team on

338
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 3: August eighteenth and goes, I don't believe in our quarterback.

339
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: I don't like our quarterback. That's the worst. Like, there

340
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: can be quarterbacks where there might be a split opinion

341
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: out there. I'm sure there are plenty of them, you know,

342
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray, split opinion out there. You know, you can

343
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: look around the league, Trevor Lawrence, split opinion out there,

344
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: But at least you can look at them and go,

345
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: all right, you know, we can function here, we can

346
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 3: do some things. And I watched this in person a

347
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 3: couple of seasons ago with one of the guys we've

348
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: already talked about. It was hilarious. I go to Soldier Field.

349
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: I went to Chicago. This was the year that PERTY

350
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: eventually took over with the forty nine ers, where Trey

351
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 3: Lance started the season as the starter, and the Niners

352
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 3: were in Chicago and it was a sideways rainstorm. Oh

353
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: yeah right, and the Bears ended up winning a slugfest.

354
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 3: But at halftime, yeah, at halftime, nothing much had happened.

355
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: I think the Niners might have been up ten to nothing,

356
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: the Bears had not scored yet. And it stuck with

357
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 3: me because I did what any self respecting fan would

358
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: do at halftime. You go buy something unhealthy for your body.

359
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 3: That's what you do. And so I'm in the line

360
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: for a dog and a beer and I'm listening to

361
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: Bears fans. It's halftime of Week one, and they'd given up.

362
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, They're like, we don't have a quarterback.

363
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: Fields is not the guy. And I heard that.

364
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 3: I heard that throughout the stadium, and even though they

365
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: rallied and won the game, I took that with me

366
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 3: because I was like, man, what a crappy thing to

367
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 3: feel at halftime of Week one. And I'd argue today,

368
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 3: if you're a Giants fan, you're a Raiders fan, or

369
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: a Steelers fan, you're fighting that feeling. And we haven't

370
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: even gotten close to Week one.

371
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 4: Well, when you know that you don't have the guy

372
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 4: on the team, it doesn't matter whether there's Week one, twelve, seventeen, twenty.

373
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 4: You know he's not the guy. The difference is when

374
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 4: you know you have the guy, it's easy to throw

375
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: it to him or toss it to him, right, We

376
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 4: have that guy and that is one Stephen G.

377
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: De Sega.

378
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 6: There is good evening, gentlemen.

379
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 4: U S. Dave Hello, good to hear you both.

380
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 6: And yes we do have two NFL exhibitions and NFL

381
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 6: news to pass along. We are getting close to actual,

382
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 6: real NFL product in September. Not quite there, especially if

383
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 6: you saw some of the games yesterday.

384
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: Oh god, my goodness.

385
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 6: We're getting closer, though, eighteen.

386
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: Days who's counting, not me? Eighteen days, eighteen.

387
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 3: Days actually from exactly right now, eighteen days.

388
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 6: And you know, they've got that odd thing in the

389
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 6: calendar this year where usually the NFL can't have a

390
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 6: Friday game because it would go I mean like there's

391
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 6: an actual lag at this because it would go against

392
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 6: high school football or maybe college football. And well not

393
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 6: this year because the first Friday they're going to have

394
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 6: an NFL game in Brazil. So, you know whatever, we're

395
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 6: getting closer to actual football with the chiefs opener on

396
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 6: a Thursday and then a Friday game with Packers Eagles

397
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 6: in Brazil.

398
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: I said.

399
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 6: NFL exhibitions, two of them tonight, including the one on

400
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 6: Fox TV right now. Brock pretty quarterback in San Francisco

401
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,640

Speaker 6: receiver Rashid Shahed out with a foot injury. At Denver,

405
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 6: the Broncos are starting rookie quarterback Bo Nicks as they

406
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 6: are hosting Green Bay.

407
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 2: Tonight.

408
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 6: Nicks four for four passing twenty six yards about four

409
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 6: minutes to go first quarter. It's a Broncos three to

410
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 6: nothing lead over Green Bay. Will Lutz with a thirty

411
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 6: seven yard field goal. The Raiders nam Gardner Minshew as

412
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 6: their starting quarterback. RAMS QB Matthew Stafford will be ready

413
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 6: for Week one, the team says, although he might miss

414
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 6: some more practice this week with hamstring tightness. RAMS backup

415
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 6: QB Jimmy Garoppolo will be suspended for the first two

416
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 6: games of the regular season due to a ped violation,

417
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 6: so Garoppolo did not play yesterday. Again, they gave the

418
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 6: reps to Stetson Bennett. RAMS wide receiver Pukinakua is due

419

00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 2: X rays were negative.

424
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 6: Remember NFL clubs have to reduce their rosters to fifty

425
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 6: three players by August twenty seventh, after the third preseason game,

426
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 6: and then the waiver claims come by the next day.

427
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 6: In the WNBA, Las Vegas has won at LA eighty

428

Speaker 6: This year, Indiana beat Seattle ninety two to seventy five,

430
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,479

Speaker 6: golf winner in Memphis. This was the first week of

433
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 6: the PGA's playoffs. Xander Schoffley tied for second two strokes

434
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 6: back thanks to a final round sixty three. And then

435
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: there's Tom Kim. You know you have to be in

436
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 6: the top fifty of the FedEx Cup standings after this

437
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 6: weekend to advance to as the playoffs continue next weekend

438
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 6: in Colorado, well, Kim was number forty three poise to advance,

439
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 6: and then his last three holes see cards a sixth

440
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 6: and then another six and then another six. On the

441
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 6: sixteenth hole, a par five, it took him two shots

442
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 6: to get out of a bunker, and then on the

443
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 6: seventeenth took him two chips to get to the green

444
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 6: double bogie, and then on the eighteenth t shot into

445
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 6: the water double bogie. His season is over. As he

446
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 6: put it, this season has just been pause. It's just

447
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 6: been like this. I've played really good golf and then

448
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 6: had some tough finishes. I feel like twenty twenty four

449
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 6: is really kicked me in the behind. Man end quote.

450
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 6: Brooks kept going to live golf event in a playoff

451
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,920

453
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 6: nothing in the sixth on Detroit. No, Aaron Judge is

454
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 6: not playing on a little league field. They've redone a

455

Speaker 6: historic stadium in Williamsport and the little League people are

456
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 6: in attendance. This game is for them tonight. Yeah, I

457
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 6: would love to see Aaron Judge on a little league field.

458
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: Oh, you'll get to see it next year. It's a

459
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: Sacramento ahead.

460
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 6: Go ahead, you're correct.

461
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 4: The A's are moving.

462
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 6: Final note, the Philadelphia seventy six ers will sign Gersha

463
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 6: and Ubisselli from France, who we just saw play in

464
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 6: the Olympics. In fact, he scored twenty points in the

465
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 6: gold medal game against the US. He'll be bought out

466
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 6: from his reel Madrid club where he averaged ten points

467
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 6: a game and play on a one year deal in Philly.

468
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 2: Back to you a good stuff.

469
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: And remember when Brooks Koepka and John Rohm would go

470
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: into a playoff and people cared you remember that or.

471
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 4: That people knew it happened or.

472
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: They knew it happened. There's a great, even better point.

473
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 3: It's an even better point. Goodness, goodness, all right, Steve,

474
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: great stuff, Thank you very much.

475
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.

476
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: Yup tire reck dot Com Studios, Mark Withard and E

477
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: from Salam with you. I'm sitting here watching this and

478
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 3: I know you are too. The Saints and the forty

479
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 3: nine ers, and there's lots of yeah, there's lots of

480
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: zeros and kicking and punting, and that's what a lot

481
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 3: of these preseason games look like. Like a lot of

482
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 3: these final scores are fourteen to thirteen, and I get it,

483
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 3: like there's a lot of people out there with uniforms

484
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 3: that aren't NFL players, So I totally understand.

485
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this one, you go ahead, No, you got finished.

486
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 3: This is interesting that these like the Saints right now,

487
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: are playing their people. They're playing a good portion of

488
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 3: their football team. The forty nine ers are playing Rock Party,

489
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: and the whole forty nine er team other than Brock

490
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: is out. Yes, you haven't heard of anyone else on

491
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: that field, So what's happening why?

492
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on, but it's dangerous. You

493
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 4: can't put your starting quarterback on the field without your

494
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: starting offensive line and skin people. That is a recipe

495
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 4: for disaster, and it's been disastrous. Rock Party's been hit

496
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 4: and knocked down several times. These bad habits. What happens

497
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: is you start developing bad habits. He scrambling out to

498
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 4: the left, pressure comes, he stops, maneuvers and then tries

499
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 4: to throw all the way back across the field to

500
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 4: the right hand side. And it took the tight end

501
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 4: who I don't know who that is, to break up

502
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: the dB or the safety getting an interception, like you

503
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: start doing things overcompensating for the lack of talent around you,

504
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 4: and that's how bad habits happen. Who was he throwing

505
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 4: the ball to.

506
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: The most recent one?

507
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: The guy who fell down on that sort of deep

508
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: out was Trent Taylor, who is a longtime NFL receiver journeyman,

509
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: just not here. No, well, actually so he played for

510
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, like I don't know, seven years ago.

511
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: But no, no.

512
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: No, no, no, like tonight, like you do have a few,

513
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: you have a few starting offensive linemen out there.

514
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: You don't have, however, the one you need. They don't

515
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: have Trent Williams.

516
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: There's no Debo, there's no Christian, There's no George Kittle,

517
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: no Juwan Jennings, no Kyle Yuschek, and of course no

518
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: Brandon Ayuk. And not only do they not have their

519
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: starting running back, they don't have their backup running back either.

520
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 3: And then go to the defense, like, who have you

521
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: heard of on the Niner defense? Do you like Fred Warner,

522
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: Nick Bosa, Sharvarius Ward, Javon Hargrave, Leonard Floyd Diamador, leonor

523
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: Malik Collins. Their pick up on the interior defensive line.

524
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: All those guys, yet none of them, none of them

525
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: are playing. So I don't have like a conceptual issue

526
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: if some of them want to go get a sweat,

527
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 3: going for a series or two, that is somewhat normal

528
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: in preseason game two. But this caught my attention very

529
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: odd that it's like, just Brock, just your quarterback. It's

530
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: been It looks bad, Yes, it looks so bad. I

531
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: was like, wait, is that Brian Perdy.

532
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: That's not a football team. That's why. Yeah, that's not good.

533
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: Like I and I know that I know where people

534
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: will go because the internet, right, and we'll see what

535
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: he looks like without his supporting cat.

536
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: That's not a football.

537
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: No, most of these guys will be selling insurance or

538
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: staying in shape in two weeks.

539
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: So Brady is at the game, he would look the same.

540
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: That's not He's not with football players people. That's a headscratcher.

541
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 4: That That's the thing most people don't understand is that

542
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 4: they feel like, Okay, you got invited to camp, or

543
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: you are a late round draft pick or whatever that

544
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 4: is that automatically makes you an NFL player. Right, So

545
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 4: whenever you watch reality TV dating show Okay, I'm you know,

546
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 4: I'm in Bachelor Nation. My wife and I we love

547
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: the Bachelor franchise. And you know, uh, all of the

548
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 4: dating shows, Love Island or you know, what is it,

549
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 4: blind love? What is it called? What's what's the.

550
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: Blind? We love it.

551
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 4: We love them all. And on every season somewhat there's

552
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 4: a guy who says I was a professional football player.

553
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 4: And the first thing I immediately do go to the

554
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: Internet because I want to know if he's actually a

555
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 4: real professional football player, NFL player. And then you go

556
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 4: in and then you see the name. You're on Wikipedia.

557
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 4: You see the name, and then you see the asterisk

558
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 4: next to the name in the NFL, which means off

559
00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 4: season are practice squad only, right, so you get you

560
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: get two years of that and then you know Canadian

561
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 4: football or whatever whatever that is. So no, you weren't

562
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 4: NFL player. You weren't a professional in my opinion. And

563
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 4: that's these guys. We're watching. These guys play right now

564
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 4: in the preseason. These are future dating show contestants, good

565
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: looking guys in shape, you know, professional athlete turned trainer,

566
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 4: right trainer, This is what you know, personal trainer. This

567
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 4: is what we're watching right now the guys who will

568
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 4: be playing in two weeks got baseball caps and hot

569
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 4: dogs and some flower seeds on the sideline. And there's

570
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 4: a huge difference between those two guys that it's a

571
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 4: my between the practice squad guy who never made the

572
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 4: active roster than the guy who is vested, which means

573
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 4: three and three. Three years and three games are two

574
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 4: years in three games, which is three total years of

575
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 4: being on the active roster. One of the most difficult

576
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 4: things you can do. No matter how good you feel

577
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 4: you are, how athletic, and how fast you are, you

578
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 4: it's hard to be a professional football player in the

579
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 4: National Football League.

580
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 2: It is.

581
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 4: And so to your point, we're watching a lot of

582
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 4: those guys. Now, a lot of these guys these this

583
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 4: will be the this weekend next week will be the

584
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 4: last time they ever play football in this capacity. Some

585
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 4: of those guys have capped out, are this is a

586
00:34:54,880 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 4: last chance effort, which is another reason as a and

587
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 4: I hated playing I hated playing in the preseason against

588
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 4: those guys. Oh look, bro, I'm just trying to get

589
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 4: to I'm just trying to get to open a day.

590
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 2: Man.

591
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to help you continue your lifelong dream.

592
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 2: And your journey.

593
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 4: I was that guy, my rookie year right, I'm out

594
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,479
Speaker 4: there cut blocking, I'm chasing people down, I'm everything. People

595
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: are like, yo, man, it's just chill out, and I'm like, no,

596
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 4: I'm trying to make the team right. And so I

597
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 4: as you get older, you five six seven years of

598
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 4: starting and you in preseason, I'm like, oh god, this, No,

599
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 4: I don't want to do this.

600
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 3: I love that NFL trash talk in the preseason is hey, bro,

601
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 3: chill like you're going too fast, which leads to a

602
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 3: very interesting, I think broad topic and question about preseason

603
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,640

Speaker 3: of the hour, I want to get back to the Falcons.

612
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: I got new thoughts on old questions. But okay, preseason,

613
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 3: you're you and I are not fans of what the

614
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 3: forty nine ers did tonight that's number one. You talked about,

615
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 3: how okay, if you're a rook maybe a second year player,

616
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 3: you're using this thing to show out a little bit.

617
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: If you're a veteran, you've got no interest in even

618
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 3: being part of these games.

619
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: And we know what fans think. August football blows. It

620
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: just does.

621
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 3: So I sort of have a college football question with

622
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 3: an NFL background. I used to ask or or sort

623
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 3: of state, like when the BCS was going on, I'm like,

624
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 3: you all know this isn't gonna be the way you

625
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 3: do it for much longer.

626
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: You're going to a playoff? What's the hold up? Just

627
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 2: do it?

628
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 3: And I got sort of the same statement about preseason football.

629
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: How much longer are we even going to have this?

630
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 4: And why I see value in the preseason because a

631
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 4: lot of players have made teams because of the preseason.

632
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 4: You're talking to one. I just told you my story. Sure,

633
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 4: so's it's valuable. It really is. Now there's no real

634
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 4: money in preseason for the owners, but the reality of

635
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 4: the situation is it's important to the development of a

636
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 4: team and putting together a team. We know who the

637
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 4: high priced players are. You know you got your quarterback,

638
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 4: left tackle, your edge, rushers, receivers, occasionally a running back,

639
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 4: maybe a center. But teams are built later in rounds,

640
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 4: in on undrafted free agents. That's how you put a

641
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 4: real team together. When you can find value there, that's

642
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 4: how you put your team. You can't find that value

643
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 4: without the preseason because you just got guys running around

644
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 4: at shorts. It's easy to play football in practice. You

645
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 4: can be great in practice. There's no crowd, noise, there's

646
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 4: no anything. So if the question is how much longer

647
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 4: are we gonna have preseason or what's the point of preseason,

648
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: Well it's filling out a fifty fifty four man roster,

649
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 4: fifty three man roster. Because without it, you'll just be real.

650
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 4: I mean, you're guessing, but you you won't be informed.

651
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 4: It won't be an educated guess. It won't be an

652
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 4: informed guess. They'll just be like, all right, well, you

653
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 4: know we think he can play in game situations. I

654
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 4: totally get it, especially for quarterbacks.

655
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: Well, but why it works in college football? Yeah?

656
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 4: Because college football, number one, your roster could be a

657
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 4: thousand people.

658
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: Fair you don't there's no major cutdown in college But

659
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: the NFL could build that in Yeah.

660
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 2: But you don't want.

661
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 4: You don't want ninety nine players on NFL ROS. They're

662
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 4: not trying to add more money, nor to spend more money.

663
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 2: Expand the practice squad.

664
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, like that's not you could do that

665
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 3: where it doesn't like overwhelm the dollars and and they're

666
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 3: printing money.

667
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't want to use the money there.

668
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I listen.

669
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 3: I just to me, I look at this right now,

670
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 3: and it feels like that's the way already gone. Seventeen

671
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 3: regular season games and only three preseason games. Doesn't it

672
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 3: feel like it's gonna be twenty regular season games and

673
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: no preseason game. Someday we can get into more of that.

674
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: I do want to circle back to the Falcons next.

675
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 3: Stay right where you are in Fox Sports Radio. Time

676
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 3: to bring it back, y'all. Bring it back, y'all, bring

677
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: it back, because this was a national debate for at

678
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 3: least a week a number of months ago.

679
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 2: And then it dies down as things do.

680
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: And for me, maybe about yesterday was the time that

681
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 3: I thought it's time to bring this back up because

682
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 3: I don't understand why Michael Pennix Junior is being given

683
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: veteran treatment and there's still no path for him to

684
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 3: get on the field. So let's talk this out. Broadcasting

685
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: live Tyra dot com studios. Tyrack dot com will help

686

688
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 3: Ty rack dot com the way tire buying should be.

689
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 3: All right, This is Kirk Cousins contract, and I'm trying

690
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 3: to figure it out because it's a four year, one

691
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty million dollar deal. But we know a

692
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 3: lot of times in the NFL you gotta click on it,

693
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 3: you gotta go deep because sometimes it's funny money when

694
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: you can get out of it. I love going to

695
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 3: spot track dot com and finding out where's the potential out.

696
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: When can a team wiggle out from underneath all of

697
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 3: this funny money? And for the Falcons with Kirk Cousins,

698
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 3: the answer is after after the twenty twenty six football season.

699
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 3: That's three more football seasons before they can wiggle out.

700
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 3: Yet they confuse everyone by using a top ten pick

701
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: on the man who some believe is the most turnkey

702
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 3: ready of all the young quarterbacks. I don't know if

703
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 3: I buy that, but there have been some who have

704
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: said it. I'm a big fan. I think the Pac

705
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: twelve is going to finally be feeding some quarterbacks this year.

706
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 3: But then you get to the preseason and Aphraim they're

707
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 3: giving him the vet treatment.

708
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: We need to bring this back up. What is going on?

709
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 2: What is the plan at the quarterback position in Atlanta?

710
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 4: Well, the plan is Kirk Cousins and see how it goes.

711
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 4: You got a top ten pick who was a little

712
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 4: bit older than most of the other young quarterbacks coming

713
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 4: into the draft. He's had I believe two A cl injuries,

714
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 4: and so you believe he's the quarterback of the future

715
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 4: for you. But Kirk Cousins is good enough to win

716
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 4: for you now. Yeah, And so the plan is you're

717
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 4: not gonna pay Kirk Cousins all that money for him

718
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 4: to sit on the bench. But they're gonna Michael Pennick.

719
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 4: There's no rush Green Bayden rush with Aaron Rodgers, Green

720
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 4: Bayden rush with Jordan Love. So there's a there's a

721
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 4: situation where they've committed they now they got two quarterbacks.

722
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 4: We know Kirk Cousins is a starter. He's gonna get

723
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 4: your forty five hundred, five thousand yards every year at

724
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 4: Michael Pennick your I do like him. I think he's

725
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 4: a terrific young talent. I think he's gonna be really good.

726
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 4: But look, we just talked in the first hour about

727
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 4: teams that didn't have any and they got a couple.

728
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 4: And so I'd rather have a proven vet and a

729
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 4: young high draft pick rookie than a bunch of guys.

730
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 4: Chicago has a declining star and the guy who hasn't

731
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 4: quite taken that next step after four years. The Raiders haburgh,

732
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 4: go ahead, go ahead, The Raiders have.

733
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: All right, So let's let let's let Davante Adams fill

734
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 2: in that blank. The Raiders have.

735
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 4: They got Gardner Minshew, he's been named the starter. Played

736
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 4: well today in the preseason. He's got a joke of

737
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 4: a quarterback. No, no, he's no, he can play, but.

738
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: He's a franchise quarterbright.

739
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 4: But can he play consistent every week?

740
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: Now?

741
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 4: Being a starting quarterback in this league? As we saw

742
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 4: last year, I think it was how many sixty different

743
00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 4: starting quarterback Who's more than any other time and if history.

744
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 4: We had literally weeks primetime games where backup quarterbacks were

745
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 4: playing against each other. Sunday Night Football Thursday night football.

746
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 4: It just became what it was. So now you're in

747
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 4: a situation where you got a few teams that have

748
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 4: backup quarterbacks as starters. Gardner Minshew started as a backup,

749
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 4: played well in Jacksonville, took everybody by store and by

750
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 4: the mustache, sold a bunch of T shirts and hats

751
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 4: with mustaches on them. But can he be that guy

752
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 4: in Oakland to bring stability to that position, Well, we'll see.

753
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 4: I like Antonio Piers. I don't know if I've ever

754
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 4: cheered for the Raiders to do anything, but I really

755
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 4: like Antonio Piers. I like him as a coach. I

756
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 4: like him as a person. I liked him as a player.

757
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean so the players seem to as well.

758
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 4: They respond to definitely a players coach. He's got an

759
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 4: edge to them that fits right with that Raiders moniker

760
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 4: and on who they want to be. So and he's

761
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 4: going to put the people on the field. He don't

762
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 4: care what you make. He gonna put the people out

763
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 4: there who can who can play. And I like that

764
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 4: aspect from a coach.

765
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 3: As do I circle him back to the Falcons because

766
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 3: I still have questions.

767
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get away from them because I don't

768
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 4: have answers for those days.

769
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: Well, no, you don't need to have answers.

770
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 3: But let me like, let me throw this at you

771
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 3: in a way where I realize a lot can happen

772
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 3: between now and then. And so maybe the answer is, ah,

773
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 3: don't worry about that, cross that bridge when we come

774
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 3: to it. But I would argue, like when you use

775
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 3: the examples, the two examples with the Green Bay Packers,

776
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers had time under Farv, Jordan Love had time

777
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 3: under Aaron Rodgers, and now here comes Jordan Love and

778
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 3: people are excited about him, I would argue that while

779
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 3: you should be excited, I think what you saw last

780
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 3: year was real. I'm in on Jordan Love. That's not

781
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 3: a normal business strategy that makes sense. And what I

782
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 3: mean by that is this, I don't think normally you

783
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 3: want to hand out the highest contract in the entire

784
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 3: league to a person who looked good for eleven games.

785
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 3: I don't think that's a good It's probably gonna work here,

786
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 3: but I don't think that's in the You know, when

787
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers did it, it was a little bit before

788
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 3: the way that I get that the quarterbacks were just

789
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 3: as important then, But the financial structure of a quarterback

790
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 3: taking up a third of your cap and all that stuff,

791
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that.

792
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 2: I want to see.

793
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 3: More from my first round quarterback than eleven, twelve, thirteen,

794
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:21,720
Speaker 3: fourteen football games before its extension time. And it feels

795
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 3: like the Falcons potentially just signed up for that on purpose.

796
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that makes sense. I think they did.

797
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 4: When there's been a void at that position for so

798
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 4: long and you find yourself in a position to address

799
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 4: that issue, sometimes you can get a little crazy.

800
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes you go a little overboard.

801
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 4: I think this is one of those situations, what they

802
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 4: did to Kirk Cousins thing, and then Michael Pennix was

803
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 4: there and available for him, So now they're like, Okay,

804
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 4: well this kid could be the one for twelve years,

805
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 4: Kurt can be the one for two?

806
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: What do you do? Right?

807
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 4: I mean, what do you do?

808
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 3: But even okay, let me follow your premise. One of

809
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 3: the first things that goes into my mind, and maybe

810
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 3: it shouldn't because you're talking football and I'm talking finances. Right,

811
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 3: If Kirk Cousins plays two, then that means in twenty

812
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 3: twenty six you will be spending fifty seven million dollars

813
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 3: on a backup.

814
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 4: I think I think the market for Kirk Cousins if

815
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 4: he does play and they going to the you know

816
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 4: the right, if they're going to the playoffs, right like,

817
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 4: the market will be there. So you're you're crossing your

818
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 4: fingers and you're hoping.

819
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 3: Thirty eight it'll be thirty eight years old. I mean,

820
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 3: he's coming off of a major injury.

821
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 4: And I think that's the big And I would love

822
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 4: to see the words the verbiage in the contract. Is

823
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 4: there a way to get out due to injury?

824
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: Right? Like?

825
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 4: So if you can't perform, like say he comes back

826
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 4: and it just can't it can't happen. Yeah, right, what

827
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 4: what that looks like? Of course insurance kicks in and so.

828
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm I'm looking at as many notes on

829
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 3: the contract as I can right now. And there's one

830
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: that just popped up that's relevant. Guess what he's got

831
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 3: in this contract? Full no trade class.

832
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 2: Oh, the wife's family is from Georgia.

833
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 3: I think that he wants the curtain to fall in

834
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 3: his career in Atlanta. Now, if they're tell him he's

835
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 3: not going to play football, maybe he would, okay something.

836
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: But the ball would be in his court for something

837
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: like that.

838
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 4: Hmm, rich men in football, Yeah, nobody's made more money

839
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 4: than Kirk Cousins.

840
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 2: Good lord, I'm going to click on career earnings. What

841
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: do you think it is? Go ahead, take it to

842
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 2: be I would say up up to the minute, not

843
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 2: not what has been right.

844
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 4: I would say probably around three fifty.

845
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 2: Maybe, oh, actually not that high. It's going to be.

846
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 3: It's going it's going to be more than that to

847
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 3: the minute, has been paid to pocket two hundred and

848
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 3: thirty one million. However, this Falcons coming, got honey coming,

849
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 3: The Falcons contract will take it. No, he got almost

850
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 3: another two hundred Okay, yeah, the Falcons contract will, assuming

851
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 3: it's played out, will take it to four hundred eleven.

852
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 2: You like that? I love that. I love that. Yes,

853
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 2: for and he's won what one playoff game?

Speaker 4: Nah, I don't.

888
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:47,959

Speaker 4: Okay, how do you feel I would like to enjoy

890
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 4: my summer.

891
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 3: Well, it's only two days long now, that's it, and

892
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,959
Speaker 3: that's everybody's fault.

893
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 4: No.

894
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 3: I just try to remind my kids when they made

895
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 3: up all these new weeks off throughout the year. When

896
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 3: everyone's like, yay ski week, I'm like, have a seat.

897
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 2: I want to tell you about ski week, E week.

898
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 2: I want you to enjoy your ski week.

899
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 3: And promise me right now that on August twentieth, when

900
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 3: you're sitting in a classroom, you'll remember ski week. Because

901
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 3: I didn't have Ski week. What I had was called

902
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 3: labor Day. It was still summer. But y'all want to

903
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 3: take every day off in your winter break is four

904
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 3: weeks long. Okay, that's right, that's exactly right.

905
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 2: Get your butts back in the classroom anyway.

906
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, glad you're with us, And sorry for those of

907
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 3: you whose summer is already over and you don't want

908
00:55:55,040 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 3: it to be. Some of us need a break. But anyway, anyway, hey,

909
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 3: what do you what do you think of Caleb Williams

910
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 3: and Jayden Daniels.

911
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 2: What do you think?

912
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, the talent is there. I think they

913
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 4: have the tools to be successful, but you won't. I won't.

914
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 4: You won't be able to know until they're actually out

915
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 4: there playing. So it's a situation where from what I've seen,

916
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 4: they look okay from what I've seen, and so as

917
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 4: fast as preseason is, it's still extremely.

918
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 2: Slow.

919
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 4: When it comes to regular season. It just doesn't move

920
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 4: at the same speed at all. And so it's it's

921
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 4: all I look for in the preseason, especially for quarterbacks.

922
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 4: Can't get the ball out on time? Can you read

923
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 4: what simple defenses that are happening?

924
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 2: And can you.

925
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 4: Anticipate and throw receivers open? That's it. I know that

926
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 4: seems like a lot, but it's not. It's really can

927
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 4: you can you manage the game? Can you do you?

928
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 4: Does it feel overwhelmed? You feel overwhelmed? And I tell

929
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 4: you what, watching bow Knicks this game, it doesn't seem

930
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 4: like it's overwhelming.

931
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 2: He watching.

932
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 4: Williams like he seems Caleb like he seems like he's

933
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 4: just out there having fun.

934
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 2: Yep.

935
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 4: And Jalen he he or Jaden he's he's fast, he's fast,

936
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 4: he's having fun, he's playing at a different speed. He's

937
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 4: playing faster than the preseason would suggest. So all of

938
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 4: these things are positive. Those are all positive, and that's

939
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 4: all you can ever ask for. You won't know for

940
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 4: real and till this thing turns on when guys are

941
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 4: on the active roster and now they trying to pay

942
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 4: for private school.

943
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I'm with you. I also look at it

944
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 3: for what football is. This is a team sport, and

945
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 3: so we can look at Caleb Williams. You know, he

946
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 3: does he does some things physically on a football field

947
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 3: with accuracy that do make you think of Patrick Mahomes.

948
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 2: They just do.

949
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 3: And I don't want to compare them to Patrick Mahomes

950
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 3: because that's stupid and it's unfair. But there are certain

951
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 3: movements that where you're like, oh goodness, Like you're throwing

952
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: off a one foot go in the wrong direction and

953
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 3: you're nailing a forty five yard pass play in stride

954
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 3: down the field to a rookie receiver, My goodness, you know.

955
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 3: So there's plenty to be excited about. What I think

956
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 3: is happening simultaneously though, and this is normal because they

957
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 3: were the top two picks in the draft.

958
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 2: They're playing for teams that are not going to win

959
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 2: more games than they.

960
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 3: Lose this year, my opinion, I think that both of

961
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 3: those teams will have a bigger number on the right

962
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,919
Speaker 3: than they have on the left. And so what I

963
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 3: really think we're going to see from Caleb Williams and

964
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels this year as far as the fan experience

965
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 3: is you are going to see two absolute stars in

966
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 3: fantasy football, but you're not going to see that yet

967
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 3: in real football. I don't foresee, and I didn't last year,

968
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 3: so certainly could be wrong. I don't think either of

969
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 3: these guys are going to have a CJ. Stroud year

970
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 3: and suddenly lead their team to the playoffs. But good

971
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 3: miss me. The raw physical skills they are pretty alluring.

972
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: They're pretty good. Yeah, we well c J.

973
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 4: Stroud what he did, what Andrew Luck was able to

974
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 4: do what you know, RG three to an extent, was

975
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 4: able to do their rookie year coming in blazing the

976
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:19,479
Speaker 4: world on fire, Cam Newton. When these guys came into

977
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 4: the league and you instantly were like, oh, he's different.

978
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 2: Oh, he's that's different. And even.

979
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 4: You know Dak Prescott, yeah right, like so.

980
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:41,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dak's a poster for for preseason football meaning something. Yes,

981
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because usually we can blow

982
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 3: this stuff off and we got a ton of examples

983
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 3: of it.

984
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: But that game that Dak had.

985
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 3: In the preseason, everybody was like Los Angeles, yeah, twenty

986
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 3: to twenty of something like. It was crazy and Tony

987
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 3: Romo was hurt and everybody was like, what the hell

988
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 3: was that?

989
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 2: Is that real? And whether you're a Dack fan now

990
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 2: or not, the answer was yes, yes it was.

991
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 3: This is a very very viable starting quarterback in the NFL.

992
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, And in to his credit, Russell Wilson, he was

993
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 4: supposed to be the backup fifth round draft pick, and

994
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 4: he went into they had paid uh, what's his name,

995
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 4: Matt Flynn. Matt Flynn paid him all that money, uh

996
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 4: ten million dollars, you know, off of one game in

997
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 4: Green Bay. Well, he has seven touchdowns, got a bunch

998
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 4: of money. And Pete Carroll, to his credit, was like, no, yeah,

999
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 4: I should see this other guy. And you know he

1000
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 4: came in and instantly him starting turned into wins, turned

1001
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 4: into playoffs. And so on and so forth. So it's possible.

1002
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 4: It's possible to see Caleb Williams in this situation to

1003
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 4: where he does have a c. J. Strout type of

1004
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 4: year based on what the Bears have done around him.

1005
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 4: Not only did they get the quarterback right, but they

1006
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 4: also got the pieces around the quarterback right.

1007
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 2: The receiving core is suddenly very oh my goodness.

1008
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 3: We'll see how it plays out, but it looks very exciting.

1009
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 4: You know what else looks exciting? As I look through

1010
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 4: this window here, I don't know if he can see

1011
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 4: into my eyes, but when we get around, you know,

1012
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 4: the halfway mark in each hour, as we're on, I

1013
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 4: can just see a gleam of joy just sparkle through

1014
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 4: the glasses of our very own Stephen de Seger.

1015
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 6: Good evening once again, gentlemen. And may I say I

1016
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,919
Speaker 6: love that we played the Bill Belichick no days off

1017
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 6: sound like the segment that was a man leading fans

1018
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 6: in that chat at the Patriot Super Bowl Parade, fans

1019
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 6: who had all taken the day off. As for the

1020
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 6: NFL exhibitions on Fox TV, it's now the Saints seven

1021
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,720

1022
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 6: in the first half of play. Jake Moody field goals

1023

01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 6: scoring Brock Party did start two of six, passing eleven yards.

1025
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 6: Taysom Hill had a one yard touchdown run for the

1026
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 6: Saints TD Derek Carr started seven of nine, passing just

1027
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 6: forty seven yards. It is halftime at Denver. In tonight's

Speaker 6: backups have under seventy yards of total offense in the

1030
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 6: first half. Denver has over one seventy. Tim Patrick a

Speaker 6: two yard touchdown reception from rookie Bownicks, who started and

1032

1038
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 6: miss multiple weeks after yesterday's hamstring injury. Minnesota is signing

1039
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 6: free agent defensive back Stefan Gilmour Hideki Matsuyama was the

1040
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 6: golf winner in Memphis, despite blowing a five shot lead

1041
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 6: in a span of four holes. This was the first

1042
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 6: week of the PGA's playoffs WNBA, with four games Chicago

1043

1045
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,960

Speaker 6: Only about fifty laps of the two hundred were run

1049
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 6: today in Nascars four hundred at Daytona is this Saturday

1050
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 6: night to Major League Baseball. Detroit is technically the home

1051
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 6: team in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the Little League Classic going on.

1052
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 6: It is still The Yankees won nothing over the Tigers

1053
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 6: and the game is bottom of the ninth inning. The

1054
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 6: yankees one run came on a wild pitch in the

1055
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 6: six from Tarrek scoop All, the All Star who otherwise

1056
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 6: would have thrown six scoreless innings. The Yankee starter Marcus Stroman,

1057
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 6: with six scoreless Atlanta, a three to one winner at

1058
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 6: the Angels. Charlie Morton the victory. The Angels offense went

1059
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 6: three for twenty nine with fourteen strikeouts San Francisco in

1060
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 6: ten innings. A four to two victory at Oakland with

1061
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 6: two homers in the tenth starting pitcher Blake Snell no decision.

1062
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 6: He had ten strikeouts in seven innings. Colorado beat San

1063
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 6: Diego three to two. The Padres now three games behind

1064
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 6: the first place Dodgers in the NL West. Arizona four back.

1065
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 6: Arizona lost in twelve innings, eight to seven at Tampa Bay.

1066
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 6: Ray's closer, Pete Fairbanks will likely go on the injured

1067
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 6: list with a lad strain. The Dodger victory today was

1068
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 6: two to one at Saint Louis against Sonny Gray, who

1069
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 6: pitched five innings. Shoe Otani with his thirty ninth homer

1070
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 6: of the season the win to Clayton Kershaw six scoreless innings.

1071
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 6: His ERA is two point six y three this year.

1072
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 6: He's only had one bad start since coming back from

1073
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 6: the serious offseason shoulder surgery, and the Dodgers might actually

1074
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 6: have a closer now with all the bullpen problems recently,

1075
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 6: they had acquired from the White Sox. No less Michael

1076
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 6: Kopek with his one hundred mile an hour fastball. He

1077
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 6: has eleven saves overall, two as a Dodger. His era

1078
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 6: is still zero. I saw a stat that he's faced

1079
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 6: about thirty batters as a Dodger and allowed one hit. Meanwhile,

1080
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 6: his own team, the White Sox, well, they got shot

1081
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 6: out at Houston two nothing. The Chicago White Sox offense

1082
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 6: three for twenty nine thirteen strikeouts. For those not following

1083
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 6: along at home, the White Sox have a record of

1084
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 6: thirty and ninety five this year. We still have plenty

1085
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 6: more than a week left in August, and they have

1086
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 6: ninety five losses this season. The all time record for

1087
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 6: a worst season in Major League history is one hundred

1088
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 6: and twenty losses. By the way, we can update the

1089
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 6: forty nine ers. Backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs with a one

1090
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 6: yard touchdown run extra point makes it thirteen to seven

1091
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 6: Niners over the Saints again. Halftime at Denver, seventeen to nothing,

1092
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 6: Broncos lead the Packers. We'll have a bit of a

1093
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 6: golf update an hour from now.

1094
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 2: Back to you. Well, don't we always that's the rule

1095
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 2: on this show.

1096
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 6: Well, not for long, because you know the playoffs are

1097
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 6: coming to a close.

1098
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 3: I know, I know, but I figure, knowing you and

1099
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 3: the way that you are able to chase down information,

1100
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 3: we'll still have something into the off season. You'll be

1101
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 3: able to tell us what's happening in brooks Kepka's personal

1102
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 3: life or something like that.

1103
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 6: You know, quarterback salaries are going up, but not that much.

1104
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 6: Brooks Kopka will still be making more money on weekends

1105
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 6: than any NFL quarterback.

1106
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 2: We know, it's absurd.

1107
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 3: It's just I mean, it's incredible, right, Jordan Love fifty

1108
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 3: five million a year, but he's looking up at live golf.

1109
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: It is.

1110
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay. By the way, Steve, you should comment on

1111
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 3: this the closer.

1112
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 2: You were just bringing up with the Dodgers Michael Kopek.

1113
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 3: And you said, give me again. He's given up like

1114
01:07:56,120 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 3: what one hit or something like that, one thirty batters. Yeah, okay,

1115
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's wonderful, but I feel like stats like

1116
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 3: that are starting to pile up all over baseball. If

1117
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 3: you just take a view from ten thousand feet of

1118
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:20,759
Speaker 3: any baseball game these days, everybody strikes out all the time.

1119
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed.

1120
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 6: There are way too many strikeouts, and part of the

1121
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,839
Speaker 6: problem is people are not ashamed of strikeout in baseball

1122
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 6: these days. We need to bring more shame back to

1123
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 6: that stat. It's not a good thing. It doesn't help

1124
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 6: your team in the least, but people don't seem to care.

1125
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 6: This isn't just the strikeouts, it's nobody's getting on base against.

1126
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:41,879
Speaker 3: Him, right, right, right, I'm actually looking at team stats

1127
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 3: right now. The Seattle Mariners have struck out the most

1128
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 3: this year of any baseball team, one thousand, two hundred

1129
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:52,879
Speaker 3: and seventy five times.

1130
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 6: Wow, that's that's you know, your team batting average If

1131
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 6: it's about two fifty, that's that's about average. The Mariners

1132
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 6: team batting average is two fifteen fifteen and have a

1133
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 6: chance at the playoffs. Still correct me if I'm wrong.

1134
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 2: I mean, who doesn't but the White so I know

1135
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 2: the answers to the White Sox. I know the answers

1136
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 2: the White Sox.

1137
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 3: But anyway, Okay, Steve, great stuff, Thank thank you very much. Yeah, ephrom,

1138
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 3: I know that you'll in tyreck dot com studios. You

1139
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 3: and I have had some sort of difficult baseball conversations

1140
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 3: this summer.

1141
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 2: I know where you sit on it.

1142
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 3: I know your sons have have, or at least one

1143
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 3: of them, right, declared himself done.

1144
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah is that right? Yeah, yeah, he's done. And I

1145
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 2: don't know if.

1146
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 3: This has anything to do with it, but yeah, gosh,

1147
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 3: I love the sport and uh big fan and watch

1148
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 3: throughout the summer all the time. And more and more teams,

1149
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 3: not all of them, but more and more teams are

1150
01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 3: just becoming a very difficult whah. And there are times

1151
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 3: when I'll look at a pitcher's duel, which used to

1152
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 3: be a cool thing, and I'll be like, this is

1153
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 3: not a pitcher's duel. It's just that nobody can hit. Like, yes,

1154
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 3: the pitcher gets some credit. You got to throw the

1155
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 3: ball in there and do the stuff. But a lot

1156
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 3: of this is just everybody's throwing one hundred miles an hour.

1157
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 3: Everybody's swinging from the shoes and and so everybody's striking out.

1158
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 3: And I can't tell you how many games there's still

1159
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 3: not nothing in the fifth inning.

1160
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 7: It's constant. Yes, it's tough watch. It's tough watch, right

1161
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:44,759
Speaker 7: it is. Baseball is just too slow for my guys.

1162
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 7: My ten year old he was just like, I just can't.

1163
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 4: A whole game in that run, right, Like, it's just

1164
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 4: it's you know, he's a basketball guy, so he's up

1165
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 4: and down, up and down, up and down, up and down.

1166
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 4: It's instant. It's les, oh, right, if you not running,

1167
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 4: you don't belong on the court. And so, you know,

1168
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 4: their kids right around the age eleven twelve, if you're

1169
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 4: going to play baseball, then you gotta love it because

1170
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 4: baseball changes at you know, thirteen years old. You no

1171
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 4: longer little league, so you gotta right like it's now

1172
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 4: you gotta go play. And the kids who are playing

1173
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 4: are for real. It's no, hey we got this kid

1174
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 4: on he's just trying to figure it out. No, these

1175
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 4: kids are locked in. They have pitching, hitting coaches, they

1176
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 4: on travel teams everything. At thirteen years old, they're out

1177
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 4: there trying to get to the league or to college

1178
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 4: or somewhere. And so it's a little bit different. He's

1179
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 4: at that age ten now, but he's played up with

1180
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 4: the ten eleven year olds and so he was just like,

1181
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 4: I'm done like that one. Like they won the nine

1182
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 4: you Championship last year, which was great. He loved it.

1183
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 4: He had a huge part in that coming in and pitching,

1184
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 4: and you know he just he wants more excitement.

1185
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 2: Don't we all? Don't we all? All? Don't don't we all?

1186
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 2: Hey got a uh, let's do some basketball? I got.

1187
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 3: I got a couple of hoops things to throw at you,

1188
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 3: including a change that has been made to the NBA

1189
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 3: season that I think a lot of NBA fans don't

1190
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 3: even know about. So we can hop into that. Coming

1191
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 3: up next with me from Salama Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio.

1192
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 3: All right, we're in the tyreq dot com Studios eight

1193
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 3: from Salam and Mark Willard.

1194
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 2: How's everybody doing out there? So? He from? What was your.

1195
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 3: Review of the of the in season Tournament last year

1196
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 3: in the NBA?

1197
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 4: I loved it?

1198
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 2: You did? I did? You're not being real with me, right,

1199
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 2: I am? I I loved it. Did you like it

1200
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 2: because the Lakers made it to the end? Or like that?

1201
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 4: We saw a different level of basketball normally we don't

1202
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 4: see at this time of year like those. I mean,

1203
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 4: guys were playing playing for real, like when those games

1204
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 4: were on, and if you turn them on and just

1205
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 4: watch them, it wasn't just a regular game on a

1206
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 4: Wednesday in November, Okay? And I liked that aspect of it.

1207
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 4: I enjoyed the fact that these guys were out here

1208
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 4: competing guys. No, no guys who were starters set out

1209
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 4: any of those games. So I loved that different energy

1210
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 4: that it brought at a time where we normally no

1211
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 4: one really even cares. Now, I could do it without

1212
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 4: some of those floors that they had. Some of those floors.

1213
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 4: You couldn't even watch the game on. It was just

1214
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 4: too much.

1215
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 2: But I did.

1216
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 4: I did enjoy. I did enjoy the extra uh oh

1217
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,560
Speaker 4: they put to the challenge.

1218
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:10,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, we see this one a little differently.

1219
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 3: I think you're in the minority here and I and

1220
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 3: I don't mean because like if if you loved it,

1221
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 3: that's that awesome.

1222
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 2: Uh do you know that they changed the name of

1223
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 2: it this year?

1224
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 4: Did you know that it's the it's the Something Cup? Now,

1225
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 4: what is it? The uh? What is it?

1226
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 3: The Something Cup? Actually should be what it's called, That's exactly.

1227
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 3: I can't believe you just stumbled into what the name

1228
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 3: of this clam bake should be the Something Cup. It's

1229
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 3: actually just called the NBA Cup. And so the n

1230
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,680
Speaker 3: season tournament is now the NBA Cup. And when the

1231
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 3: schedule came out last week. It is one of the

1232
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 3: first things that the NBA markets. They're like, here's the

1233
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 3: you know, the special games. And what I know I

1234
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 3: noticed they did this year and maybe I'm giving just

1235
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 3: a small sample, but I noticed it's not just opponent based,

1236
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 3: like let's have some good playing good, but they're looking

1237
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 3: for the drama games. In other words, a very obvious

1238
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 3: one for the Golden State Warriors was the Dallas Mavericks.

1239
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 3: Klay Thompson will play against the Golden State Warriors, and

1240
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 3: that's an NBA Cup game, So that makes a lot

1241
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 3: of sense because you're going to bring a lot of

1242
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 3: people to the yard for that one.

1243
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 7: Anyway, I have questions, I have questions.

1244
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: I have.

1245
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 3: Well, I have a statement and a question. My question

1246
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 3: is I am still having trouble with what the fan

1247
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 3: is being offered here. What is the fan being offered here?

1248
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 4: A better brand of basketball earlier? That's all.

1249
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 3: Is it fair for me to even say, like I

1250
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 3: almost feel kind of offended.

1251
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 2: Is too strong of a word, but you get.

1252
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 3: Where I'm going here, get a little bit of a

1253
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 3: turnoff to the average American NBA fan that what's driving

1254
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 3: this extra oomph, as you call it, is the fact

1255
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:41,480
Speaker 3: that NBA players are suddenly able to access even more dollars.

1256
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 3: So if you're Steph Curry and you're making fifty nine

1257
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 3: million dollars a year, we're not gonna We're not gonna

1258
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:53,720
Speaker 3: avoid load management for that. But if you dump the

1259
01:16:53,800 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 3: opportunity for even more, now, we're gonna play hard. And congratulations, fan,

1260
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 3: we're gonna play. We might even play hard. You might

1261
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 3: not even be able to see us because we could

1262
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 3: blend into the cool floors cool that they're gonna build

1263
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 3: for this. Like the whole thing to me is dripping

1264
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 3: with sarcasm. And I'm not against the concept. I just

1265
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 3: want there to be more for the fan. This seems

1266
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 3: like an indirect way to do it. And the statement

1267
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 3: that I want to throw out with the question is

1268
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 3: changing the name and gussing up the NBA Cup games,

1269
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 3: making them like already dramatic games sort of to me

1270
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 3: like somewhere tucked in there is an admission that what

1271
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,759
Speaker 3: happened last year wasn't good enough.

1272
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's the admission of that. I think

1273
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 4: they're trying to figure out, well, guess what, I think

1274
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 4: there was enough there there worked for them to even

1275
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 4: go back to the table. Now, if it was just

1276
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 4: a cluster or a dumpster fire, like you're projecting it was,

1277
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 4: then we would probably be scrapping the whole thing. But

1278
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 4: I think there was enough there. I think uh, the owners,

1279
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 4: I think fans, I think networks were pleasantly surprised at

1280
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 4: how great that was. Everybody got to go to Vegas

1281
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 4: and you know, partake in the festivities and and things

1282
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 4: like that. So I think there's a there was enough

1283
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 4: there to where they went back to the table it

1284
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, how do we make it better? How

1285
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 4: can we do it bigger? What can we do to

1286
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:55,759
Speaker 4: add more excitement to it? And I think that's where

1287
01:18:55,600 --> 01:19:00,080
Speaker 4: the schedule and the and the games uh have have

1288
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 4: entered into the equation.

1289
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a dumpster fire at all.

1290
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 3: I just this is the question I had before it started,

1291
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 3: and the question remains. I just want to know what's

1292
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 3: in it for us, you know what I mean? And

1293
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 3: I like, I'm not you know me, I'm not jealous.

1294
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 3: I'm just not a jealous person. Like it's great, you

1295
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 3: want you make sixty million, Fine, make sixty five million.

1296
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:28,839
Speaker 2: I don't care. That's awesome, good for good.

1297
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 3: For the NBA players, But like the way that this

1298
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 3: is packaged, to me, it's way too indirect of a

1299
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 3: connection to the fan. That's all like you like, you've

1300
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 3: got to pay them more so that they'll play at

1301
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 3: a different levels that we get to enjoy.

1302
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 2: And even that is sort of a well, it's not

1303
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:54,799
Speaker 2: even about subjective money.

1304
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 4: It's not even about the money, because the money helps

1305
01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 4: the guys, everybody, not Lebron, everybody not lets Steph on

1306
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,160
Speaker 4: on that team, right, he got sure guys making a

1307
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 4: bunch of money and everybody else trying to eat. So

1308
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 4: those for those guys, it makes sense. For player nine

1309
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 4: through thirteen, it was huge. It's more than some of

1310
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 4: their salaries in terms of that, you know, it's the

1311
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 4: hell of a bonus.

1312
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I feel that part of it.

1313
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 3: All Right, we'll stay on the basketball front. Because Caitlin

1314
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 3: Clark did something amazing today. That's next. Remember earlier we

1315
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 3: were talking about some of the young qbs. Could they

1316
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 3: pop statistically, could they look good physically?

1317
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 2: But could they win?

1318
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 3: That's kind of usually the last thing, the last brick

1319
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,799
Speaker 3: on the wall. If you're going to be a great player,

1320
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 3: and one clearly great player who's not been playing for

1321
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 3: a very long time, is starting to put the last

1322
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 3: brick on the wall. We're broadcasting live from the tireck

1326
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 3: The way tire buying should be hell of a weekend

1327
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 3: for one. Caitlin Clarkey from Sure twenty three points nine

1328
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 3: more assists to set the rookie mark for assists in

1329
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 3: a season.

1330
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 2: Who yeah, but guess what else have you noticed? They win?

1331
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:28,759
Speaker 3: Yep, they're winning games winning, They have won a couple

1332
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 3: in a row. They have moved into the seven seed.

1333
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 3: They are going to be a playoff team in the WNBA.

1334
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 3: And that's coming from a team and I know eight

1335
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 3: teams make the playoffs and there's only twelve teams. If

1336
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 3: you want to make a take a shot at that,

1337
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 3: make fun of it, do whatever you want with your opinions.

1338
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,720
Speaker 3: But Indiana ended up with the number one overall pick,

1339
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 3: and they came out of the gate and it looked

1340
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 3: like Caitlin was running around with all kinds of talent,

1341
01:21:56,240 --> 01:22:00,679
Speaker 3: but not much around her and all of a sudden,

1342
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 3: her game is taking the last translation, which is not

1343
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 3: just stats, not the highlights winning basketball games. And they

1344
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 3: took on the seventeen and nine Seattle Storm today and

1345
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 3: blew them out the gym.

1346
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 4: So remember when there was a big hollabaloo about.

1347
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 2: I do very mad. We're very mad. Let's yell we're mad.

1348
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 4: It was a big hallabaloo about Kaitlin Clark not making

1349
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 4: the Olympic team. Yes, and I said, it's the best

1350
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 4: thing is going to happen to her this year, the

1351
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 4: best thing for her.

1352
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:47,640
Speaker 2: The reasoning is, first.

1353
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 4: Of all, she came off of historic college season, historic,

1354
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:58,600
Speaker 4: a lot of hype. She you know, she lived up

1355
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 4: to the hype everything right into the draft. I mean

1356
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 4: literally after nan caa tournament, right into the draft, right

1357
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 4: into the w NBA season, and the Indiana Fever played

1358
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 4: eleven games before any other team played seven. So there

1359
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 4: were they were on TV every other day, back to

1360
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 4: back day, sometimes traveling the whole nine yards no practice time.

1361
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 4: She had to have been exhausted. I remember she had

1362
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 4: a you know, a one for ten game. It just

1363
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 4: was wearing on her yep. And I said, shame on

1364
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 4: the WNBA for riding her the way they were. Obviously

1365
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 4: she was, you know, the Golden Goose, I should say,

1366
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 4: And they were going to give people what they wanted.

1367
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 4: They wanted to see her play, and arenas were selling

1368
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 4: out when they were on the road. And yeah, but

1369
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:02,000
Speaker 4: they didn't do the Indiana Fever. Are her any favors

1370
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:07,640
Speaker 4: by stacking the schedule like they did so? Olympics is

1371
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 4: coming up now. Of course, she made the All Star Team.

1372
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 4: Angel Rees made the All Star Team. Thought it was

1373
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 4: dope watching them play in the All Star I would

1374
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 4: watch the WNBA All Star Weekend a hundred times before

1375
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 4: I would watch the NBA All Star Weekend. It's just

1376
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 4: that much better in my opinion. And what we got

1377
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 4: to see was we got to see, you know, her

1378
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 4: play with other really great players. And the best part

1379
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,639
Speaker 4: of it was she got a month off. She got

1380
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 4: a month off to rest, to train, to work on

1381
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 4: her game. And I said, it's the best thing that's

1382
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 4: happened to her, because she's gonna come back on fire.

1383
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 4: She's gonna come back hungry, ready to go. What has

1384
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 4: she done her two games back? I believe she was

1385
01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 4: twenty nine and twenty nine and thirteen would twenty nine

1386
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 4: and ten, would would five rebounds?

1387
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty nine and ten five rebounds, correct.

1388
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 4: And then she just had what twenty three and.

1389
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,480
Speaker 2: What twenty three point three and nine sists?

1390
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 3: Yep, nine assists and obviously broke the uh, the single

1391
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 3: season mark. Oh.

1392
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,880
Speaker 4: The best part of that is they're two and oh.

1393
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're two and oh well, and really rides your

1394
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 3: point by the way this just saw it interrupt. But

1395
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 3: to add to the point that you're making, I just

1396
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 3: counted up the number of games they played in the

1397
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 3: number of days when they started the season. Made that

1398
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 3: point that the league wanted to really just feature them. Yeah,

1399
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 3: they played eleven games in nineteen days and they came

1400
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 3: out two and nine.

1401
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 2: Yep.

1402
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 3: And then they got a five day break. Okay, and

1403
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 3: obviously the Olympics are involved in this as well, but

1404
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 3: you can do the math. They were two and nine

1405
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 3: in those first nineteen days of the WNBA season and

1406
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 3: since then they are eleven and six.

1407
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 4: It means something, right, So people think athletes are just

1408
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 4: you know, you hit the switch and play like all

1409
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 4: of that rest practice. You're a rookie in the league

1410
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 4: playing against the best players in the world on a

1411
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 4: brand new team, and there you have no practice. You

1412
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 4: have no practice, and when you do have a practice

1413
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 4: it's you know, it's a walkthrough or it's film session

1414
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 4: because you're so tired because you're playing every other day.

1415
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 4: All of that matters. Right after the eleven gain, they

1416
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 4: got five days off, they come back, they start winning

1417
01:26:56,040 --> 01:27:00,600
Speaker 4: some games, they start playing together, Olympics come, they go

1418
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 4: away for a month. She's got plenty of time to

1419
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 4: get herself reacclimated, training, eating right, working out, rest and

1420
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 4: she comes back and she's on fire. This is why

1421
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 4: I made the statement a month and a half ago

1422
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 4: that her being left off this team was the best

1423
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 4: thing that could happen for because if she wasn't and

1424
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 4: she had to fly, she had to do all the

1425
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 4: friendlies and fly over to Paris and play against all

1426
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 4: of the countries and the six games and all of that,

1427
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 4: and then come back and jump right back into the

1428
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 4: WNBA season.

1429
01:27:39,640 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 2: What chance would you give the fever. Yeah, so.

1430
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:51,799
Speaker 4: It was tough for the first nineteen days of the season.

1431
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 4: Imagine if it was NonStop NCAA Basketball Draft, WNBA Basketball

1432
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 4: All Star Olympics, come back, finish the season, playoffs, what right?

1433
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 3: And I'd argue, Actually, there's a piece that you're leaving

1434
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 3: out of this, which is the emotional toll. Oh go,

1435
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 3: Because while all of this was happening, which would be

1436
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 3: hard on any athlete, and whatever point anybody who is

1437
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 3: listening right now wanted to make about the Caitlin Clark situation,

1438
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 3: whether you wanted to talk about, you know, the old guard,

1439
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,680
Speaker 3: whether you wanted to talk about the race aspect, anything

1440
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 3: that it was involved in the conversation. The one thing

1441
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 3: you couldn't really do is blame Caitlyn. Caitlyn did nothing wrong.

1442
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 3: She's just playing basketball, and I think largely handled herself

1443
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 3: in an incredible way through all of this, knowing that

1444
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 3: controversies were swirling around her that honestly, in the end

1445
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 3: had nothing to do with her and really had nothing

1446
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:57,880
Speaker 3: to do with anything other than the fact that people

1447
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 3: just like to get all hot and bothered these days,

1448
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 3: and so this was a perfect opportunity to do it.

1449
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 3: I've never really seen what the hell is the controversy about.

1450
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 3: It's a girl and she's good at basketball, and here

1451
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 3: she is and we all want to watch and other

1452
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 3: than that, it was like, really it was a controversy

1453
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 3: that was built around her, it was. It was a

1454
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 3: controversy building, right. It was on things that were being

1455
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 3: said about her and to her, and and the way

1456
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 3: games were being played all of that, and she dealt

1457
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 3: with that. But you go like, I'm sure it was exhausting.

1458
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:42,640
Speaker 3: It's got to be exhausting.

1459
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:45,560
Speaker 4: Well was it exhausting for us?

1460
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 2: For sure?

1461
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 4: Could imagine for her?

1462
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, yeah, it's pretty impressive.

1463
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:56,640
Speaker 3: And and and if you do want to dive into

1464
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 3: sort of the silliness that came out of it, that

1465
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 3: I that the league was shoving her down and a

1466
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 3: lot of people were like, this is unfair, and others

1467
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 3: were like, this is.

1468
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 2: What you do to rookies.

1469
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 3: You just don't normally see it because rookies don't come

1470
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:12,240
Speaker 3: in with this kind of attention.

1471
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 2: I can see both sides on that.

1472
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 3: For me, the larger point has been made, which is

1473
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 3: Caitlyn already I know it's been what twenty eight games,

1474
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 3: she's paid the dues, she has shown what she can do.

1475
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 3: She looks the part. She has changed the league for

1476
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 3: the better. First and foremost, forget wins, losses or any

1477
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 3: of that, but everybody in that league is now going

1478
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 3: to be richer because of Caitlyn Clark and very much

1479
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 3: like I've said to you a bunch of times about

1480
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 3: Lebron James, one of the most important and impressive things

1481
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:57,080
Speaker 3: that I see happen in sports is when someone or

1482
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 3: something lives up to unbel believable hype. Lebron to me

1483
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 3: is exhibit A always and and and Caitlyn did it.

1484
01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 3: She did it, insane hype, lived up to it. I

1485
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 3: think that's about That's that's really hard to do.

1486
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.

1487
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 4: And I think the just the the rookie class this year,

1488
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 4: more people are are paying attention to it because these

1489
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 4: are the players that we started to watch two years

1490
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 4: ago in college. We started to watch them and get

1491
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 4: galvanized by you know, the NCAA tournament and and and

1492
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 4: Caitlyn and Angel Reese, the whole South Carolina squad, uh,

1493
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 4: you know, Boston, all of all of this for the

1494
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 4: last two years has been magnified like never before in

1495
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:05,480
Speaker 4: women's basketball, and so there was a level of expectation

1496
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 4: coming in, not just on Angel Reese's part, but we

1497
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 4: can't I'd be remissed if I didn't talk about another

1498
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 4: rookie record that was broken in terms of consecutive double

1499
01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:22,639
Speaker 4: doubles coming into the into the the WNBA by Angel Reee,

1500
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 4: both of them. The thing I loved about the All

1501
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 4: Star Game they both made the All Star Team and

1502
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 4: they played on the same team with each other. So

1503
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 4: after all of that rivalry being on the same team

1504
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 4: and setting the screen and coming you know, diving and

1505
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:42,200
Speaker 4: Caitlin finding Angel Reas and like, so much hatred had

1506
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 4: been spewed out on these women's behalfs, not by them,

1507
01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:54,799
Speaker 4: by other people using both of these ladies, these young women.

1508
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 4: It just was great seeing them play on the same

1509
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 4: team together. They're both having funning out. I'm gonna know

1510
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 4: rookie seasons, Kaitlin Clark leading the way, but it's elevating

1511
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 4: the viewership and the interest in the WNBA. And I

1512
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:19,720
Speaker 4: would ask this question to you, can it survive for

1513
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 4: the rest of the season because we had a stop down,

1514
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 4: we had the Olympics. There was nothing really going on

1515
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:32,640
Speaker 4: when the w and by design that's why the WNBA

1516
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:35,960
Speaker 4: plays when they play in the summer, because there's everything

1517
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:43,080
Speaker 4: else is done except for baseball. But it's you know, baseball.

1518
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:47,920
Speaker 4: And so now that football is around the corner, not

1519
01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 4: only the NFL, but college football, which we know is

1520
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 4: has a stronghold in this country.

1521
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 2: Football.

1522
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 4: Can the viewership and interest excitement in the w n

1523
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 4: b A.

1524
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 2: Can it?

1525
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:10,439
Speaker 4: Can it last? Can it survive? Are you asking because

1526
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 4: this season this season because they they stopped they normally

1527
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:15,679
Speaker 4: don't stop the middle for a month?

1528
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:16,559
Speaker 2: Correct? Yeah?

1529
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 4: No, And I kind of pushed it back a little bit.

1530
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:19,360
Speaker 2: Correct.

1531
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 3: And I think I said this to you a number

1532
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:24,880
Speaker 3: of weeks ago when this was happening, like my, my,

1533
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 3: my answers.

1534
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 4: No.

1535
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 3: And that's not because it's the w n b A

1536
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:33,760
Speaker 3: or because it's women. I don't think anything survives when

1537
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:34,799
Speaker 3: it goes to the NBA.

1538
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 2: Does survive? Correct? Yeah?

1539
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 3: Nothing survives against the NFL. That's why you watch fotball, right,

1540
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:45,360
Speaker 3: That's why you watch leagues start moving their playoff games

1541
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 3: around simply to avoid the NFL. You could have World

1542
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 3: Series Game seven and Thursday night football between the Titans

1543
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:58,800
Speaker 3: and Jazz, and MLB is terrified. They're terrified of that.

1544
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 3: So they're like, if we do it on a Friday

1545
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 3: instead of a Thursday. Yeah, so no, No, I like

1546
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:15,360
Speaker 3: the Fever play. They host Atlanta at one o'clock on Sunday, September.

1547
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:17,639
Speaker 2: Eighth, no shot, not, I mean.

1548
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 3: Watching watching one o'clock on September eighth.

1549
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 2: What are you doing at one o'clock on September A.

1550
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:29,000
Speaker 4: Nobody's watching, yo, nobody. I'm serious.

1551
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

1552
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:34,240
Speaker 4: So it's all fun and it's all great, and I

1553
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 4: love what's happening. The stop down for the Olympics is

1554
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:39,280
Speaker 4: really gonna.

1555
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 2: Pushna, it's gonna.

1556
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 4: It's gonna really and I don't want that to be.

1557
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 4: And and I'm sure the power is to be understanding.

1558
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 4: That's not an indication of.

1559
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 2: Oh, correct, that's gonna be this year.

1560
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know we won't get that for another four years, right, So.

1561
01:35:56,600 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 3: And by the way, in four years, start your season earlier. Yeah,

1562
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 3: I'm not even kidding.

1563
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:03,320
Speaker 2: Yes, season earlier. Yeah.

1564
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:09,760
Speaker 4: I would suggest them come back in the playoffs. Yeah,

1565
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,720
Speaker 4: I would suggest them come back and be in the playoffs.

1566
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:13,360
Speaker 2: Agreed.

1567
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 3: Agreed, I'll be messing around on Sundays in September.

1568
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 4: I like, yeah, yeah, it's gonna be a tough sale. Man.

1569
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:22,439
Speaker 2: It will be no eyes on that game.

1570
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 4: And I say no, not meaning no one will be watching,

1571
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 4: but not enough to make a mark or resonate on

1572
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:32,440
Speaker 4: the ratings.

1573
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:37,840

1599
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 3: I already heard some people throwing out there, kind of

1600
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 3: going into the weekend. Hey, I know, Caleb Williams is

1601
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 3: gonna play Caleb Caleb, Caleb usc generational talent number one overall,

1602
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:13,320
Speaker 3: and Jayden Daniels obviously with the Heisman Chase and LSU

1603
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 3: and all of this just very very high profile stuff.

1604
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:21,600
Speaker 3: And then you weave your way through the rest of

1605
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks. There's Drake May, who poor guy. I don't

1606
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 3: know if he's gonna be any good or not, but

1607
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 3: it really feels like there's just nothing around him in

1608
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:33,519
Speaker 3: a total rebuild with New England, Pennix is gonna sit.

1609
01:38:35,200 --> 01:38:38,360
Speaker 3: And then tucked into the end of this is Bonix.

1610
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,559
Speaker 3: And there were a lot I heard people who are like,

1611
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 3: that's actually the guy. Well, we'll see, but certainly didn't

1612
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:54,200
Speaker 3: do anything today to knock people off of their high horse.

1613
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 2: Eight of nine eighty yards in a touch.

1614
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 4: He just looked comfortable. He looked like he had a

1615
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:07,680
Speaker 4: firm grasp of the offense, and it didn't look like

1616
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 4: he was worried about anything. And to me, that says

1617
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:14,559
Speaker 4: a lot. To me, that says a lot. Now, O

1618
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 4: can he keep that same energy, same focus when games matter,

1619
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:22,120
Speaker 4: when everybody on the roster and everybody in the game

1620
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 4: are you know, professionals and trying to pay for private

1621
01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 4: school and feed kids and so on and so forth.

1622
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 4: It's different when it becomes a job. Now, a lot

1623
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 4: of these kids been paid a lot of money in college,

1624
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 4: but it still wasn't a job. Still had to go

1625
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 4: to school. There's no school, man, this is it. This

1626
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:51,160
Speaker 4: is your career. And so just with that element of it,

1627
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:57,839
Speaker 4: he looked like the Denver Broncos have solved their quarterback problem.

1628
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:03,479
Speaker 4: So far, way to go, long way ago, but so far. Yeah,

1629
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 4: this is a great first step.

1630
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:10,640
Speaker 3: And I know you said earlier, Look, you know, preseasons, preseason.

1631
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 2: We're not going to know till we know.

1632
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:14,760
Speaker 3: And and and sure that's fine, we get all that.

1633
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,679
Speaker 3: We compared to c J. Stroud, could a CJ. Stroud

1634
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 3: type year be out there? Even that's rare, Although I

1635
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 3: do wonder you know when we watched some of the

1636
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:32,559
Speaker 3: great rookies or young quarterbacks of the past. I even

1637
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 3: think not too long ago, you know, Peyton Manning led

1638
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 3: the league in interceptions when when he was a rookie, Like,

1639
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 3: we don't see guys at the quarterback position look that

1640
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 3: under control like CJ Stroud did last time.

1641
01:40:49,479 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 2: We don't see that.

1642
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:54,759
Speaker 3: And so I want to say this without taking anything

1643
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:58,719
Speaker 3: away from CJ, because he's fantastic, but there's also, God,

1644
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 3: there's got to be something then about the changes to

1645
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 3: the game that sort of at minimum opened the door

1646
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 3: to a quarterback looking like that as a rookie. Most

1647
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 3: still don't, So he gets all the credit in the world.

1648
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:18,360
Speaker 3: But the fact that we're playing two hand touch back

1649
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:22,240
Speaker 3: there now and it's so much more of a passing game.

1650
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:24,599
Speaker 2: I'll just put it this way.

1651
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 3: I think CJ's special, but I do think we're going

1652
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:29,799
Speaker 3: to see more cjs as a rookie.

1653
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:33,559
Speaker 4: Well, I hope so. But the great thing about CJ,

1654
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 4: and people said it, and I've talked to Demko about him.

1655
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 2: And you couldn't speed him up. Yep, you couldn't speed

1656
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:41,760
Speaker 2: him up.

1657
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 4: And that was the thing, like, you couldn't ever put

1658
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:50,439
Speaker 4: him in a position where he was going to make

1659
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 4: a mistake. He was so calm and cool, no matter

1660
01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 4: what the situation was. Freak your freakishly, so that that

1661
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 4: became the thing, like, hey, can anybody under bledz late

1662
01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 4: in the game gotta come back? It didn't matter. He

1663
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 4: was just like, uh, okay, I got it. And he

1664
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:23,120
Speaker 4: took some guys no one had ever heard of, and

1665
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 4: you know, the tank Dell's and like all of a sudden,

1666
01:42:29,040 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 4: it was like whoa, now they got a true running back,

1667
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 4: they got extraversy, Like oh my goodness, mm hmm. So

1668
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:48,800
Speaker 4: now it's scary because now the expectation And I had

1669
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 4: an opportunity to talk to uh, you know Cale McNair,

1670
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 4: the owner, and you know his wife and and everybody

1671
01:42:56,200 --> 01:43:02,560

1673
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:14,120
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, it's wild because now the expectations are scary. Sure,

1674
01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 4: And I said, no, no, no, that's why you want to

1675
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 4: be You want to be that because if you want

1676
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 4: to change the coach, this will be the first time

1677
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 4: in Texan's history where expectations are different and you have

1678
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 4: a young brilliant coach, a young brilliant quarterback to build

1679
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 4: and to change the perception of the entire franchise. Got

1680
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 4: the best team in Texas right now. And I said, yes, scary,

1681
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:54,120
Speaker 4: but this as an owner, this is exactly where you

1682
01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:54,519

Speaker 6: dollars for the first of the three PGA playoff events.

1755
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:53,240
Speaker 6: Of course, every live golf event has a person of

1756
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 6: twenty million dollars. But okay, the money's getting close. Brooks

1757

1759
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:06,160
Speaker 6: a final round sixty three, and you know how golf is,

1760
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,479
Speaker 6: Your putt lips out and you lose by one, that

1761
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 6: type of thing. So John ram still takes home two

1762
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 6: and a quarter million dollars, but that literal one playoff

1763
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:20,760
Speaker 6: hole costs him one point seven five million dollars. That's

1764
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 6: how much money is at stake here. So four mil

1765
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 6: to the winner, Brooks Kepka. And don't forget his four

1766
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:29,599
Speaker 6: man squad won the weekend team title with their scores,

1767
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 6: so he splits another three mil.

1768
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 2: With his buddies. It's just silly.

1769
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:37,639
Speaker 6: Three point six million Tomatsuyama for being the winner on

1770
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 6: the PGA Tour in Memphis. So how were the other

1771
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:43,440
Speaker 6: golfers remunerated?

1772
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:43,600
Speaker 4: Is?

1773
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 6: For example, those who were down around fiftieth place. In

1774
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,080
Speaker 6: the PGA event, it was a tie for forty six

1775
01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 6: got you about fifty five thousand dollars. The live golf event,

1776
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:57,000
Speaker 6: the tie for forty seventh got you over one hundred

1777
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:01,200
Speaker 6: and twenty thousand dollars over double so a veteran like

1778
01:49:01,320 --> 01:49:04,799
Speaker 6: Lee Westwood took home one hundred and twenty one thousand

1779
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,479
Speaker 6: and five hundred to be exact. This weekend, Phil Mickelson

1780
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 6: finished fiftieth out of fifty four golfers and get sixty

1781
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 6: thousand dollars for three days of golf. Last ad is

1782
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 6: about Matsuyama, who recently at the Olympic Tournament won the

1783
01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 6: bronze medal. He did not have his regular caddy, He

1784
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:27,000
Speaker 6: had a fill in this week. He could only work

1785
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:32,599
Speaker 6: with his coach over the phone this week. But with

1786
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 6: all of that he wins this and goes from number

1787
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:38,360
Speaker 6: eight to number three in the FedEx Cup. The problem was,

1788
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:40,840
Speaker 6: you see, after the Paris Olympics, the three of those

1789
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:43,880
Speaker 6: guys were out at dinner in London. On their way home,

1790
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 6: someone stole their bag when they weren't looking. The thief

1791
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 6: got Matsuyama's wallet bad. The thief also got the passport

1792
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,840
Speaker 6: of the caddy and the passport of the coach, So

1793
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 6: those two had to return to Japan and work on

1794
01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:04,799
Speaker 6: getting expedited replaced. Matsuyama still wins the tournaments back to you.

1795
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:08,679
Speaker 3: So there's no like, uh, now, what if he had

1796
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:14,240
Speaker 3: been in in live golf and something like that had happened?

1797
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:17,559
Speaker 6: Uh, And I'm sure the Saudi government would have somehow

1798
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,280
Speaker 6: expedited a passport or travel documents.

1799
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:22,880
Speaker 3: Yes, I feel like our journey would have been a

1800
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:24,639
Speaker 3: little bit higher, a.

1801
01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 6: Phone call and sent a plane some sort of secret

1802
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:30,679
Speaker 6: check cut from the Saudi public fund.

1803
01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:33,400
Speaker 2: I think that thief would already be in trouble, That's

1804
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:36,639
Speaker 2: what I think, especially if he was a journalist.

1805
01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 6: Just for the record, the truth parents.

1806
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 3: Shots shots fired us, right, yeah, okay, there it is

1807
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:50,439
Speaker 3: you never you never disappoint Steve.

1808
01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:53,080
Speaker 2: No, he did never never disappointe.

1809
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:59,040
Speaker 3: See yeah, there it is Steve de Seger, everybody who

1810
01:50:59,080 --> 01:51:03,000
Speaker 3: always has a little something extra for us. So we're

1811
01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:06,240
Speaker 3: live in the tire iraq dot com studios.

1812
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:10,760
Speaker 2: You know. He was also talking about John Rahm that.

1813
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:14,880
Speaker 3: One little oh the ball the revolution lost one point

1814
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 3: seventy five million dollars and I know that, Like I've

1815
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:21,559
Speaker 3: known enough rich people to know that even if you

1816
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:24,759
Speaker 3: have a billion, Like when someone goes out, what's a million,

1817
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:27,960
Speaker 3: it's like, it's a million, like that, that's a that's

1818
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 3: a million dollars. But does that still ring true? Even

1819
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 3: on on the Live Tour, we don't even know. We

1820
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 3: don't know what they got to go.

1821
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 2: I don't know. Man, the whole thing feels like.

1822
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:49,080
Speaker 3: It's completely devoid of drama on things like that.

1823
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 2: It does.

1824
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,960
Speaker 3: It almost feels like the Senior Tour, but it's not

1825
01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 3: the Senior Tour. Where's the sweat from the brow, the

1826
01:51:57,160 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 3: pressure that I need this for legacy, all of that,

1827
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:05,559
Speaker 3: Like that's what I'm still missing from Live Golf.

1828
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:08,920
Speaker 2: Oh well they're not missing it.

1829
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:13,840
Speaker 3: No, I'm not criticizing them. I just like that's why

1830
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:17,920
Speaker 3: no one's watching. Yeah, I get there's no there's no

1831
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 3: what right, what happens next? Someone wins the US Open.

1832
01:52:23,080 --> 01:52:27,080
Speaker 3: You're like, okay, that's life changing. The year that Xander

1833
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:32,479
Speaker 3: Shoffley has had. All right, something happens next, Whatever happens

1837
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:48,360
Speaker 4: do that's great for an obscene amount of money.

1838
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:52,599
Speaker 3: Right, So again, No, I'm just saying, if it's an

1839
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:56,599
Speaker 3: entertainment entity, we're supposed to want to.

1840
01:52:56,520 --> 01:52:59,879
Speaker 4: Watch, Yeah, but I don't know if they're they're depending

1841
01:52:59,880 --> 01:53:03,719
Speaker 4: on our watching to fund the money, like I don't,

1842
01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:06,639
Speaker 4: I don't know they care about us watching.

Speaker 2: Well, like somebody interesting.

1845
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:14,800
Speaker 3: what is the sustainability of live golf?

1846
01:53:15,040 --> 01:53:17,599
Speaker 2: First of if nobody, if nobody ever cares.

1847
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:21,800
Speaker 4: The money isn't based on viewership.

1848
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:23,920
Speaker 2: But what are they doing it for that?

1849
01:53:24,040 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 3: You can't tell me they're doing it because they just

1850
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:27,360
Speaker 3: want to spend money.

1851
01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:29,840
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the.

1852
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:35,760
Speaker 4: End you're talking about that level of money right where

1853
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:38,880

1857
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 4: watching those horse races.

1858
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:59,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, somebody's gotta want ROI No, nobody

1859
01:53:59,120 --> 01:53:59,960
Speaker 3: wants ROI.

1860
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:05,639
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think so, okay, well, then they're doing.

1861
01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:15,080
Speaker 4: Great because I mean, I mean the money just keeps coming.

1862
01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, no, I get it.

1863
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 4: Like it's not going anywhere. So they got to spend

1864
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:28,759
Speaker 4: it on something. Yeah, it's been something. I heard a story.

1865
01:54:28,760 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 4: I went to do buy a couple of years ago,

1866
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:35,160
Speaker 4: and I heard a story about one of the you know,

1867
01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 4: the the royal families over there, and they fly in

1868
01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:47,840
Speaker 4: seven forty seven and the prince flew in his own

1869
01:54:47,880 --> 01:54:49,880
Speaker 4: seven voice, and they never flew together, just in case

1870
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 4: something happened on the plane. And the the dad, the

1871
01:54:57,520 --> 01:55:01,800
Speaker 4: sheikh had, he loved land cruiser toy, the land cruisers,

1872
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 4: so anywhere he went, they took their own land cruisers.

1873
01:55:07,880 --> 01:55:09,960
Speaker 4: They had them. They had to had to took the hold.

1874
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:13,080
Speaker 4: They took their own land cruisers. And then when they

1875
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:15,120
Speaker 4: were coming back, they just left them there and just

1876
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 4: gifted them to people.

1877
01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:20,360
Speaker 2: Right, So.

1878
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:28,680
Speaker 4: What one of the what I heard another story one

1879
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:31,200
Speaker 4: of the one of the people in the royal fan,

1880
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:36,160
Speaker 4: one of the princes took a you know, million dollars

1881
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 4: ferrari or something like that and dipped it into a

1882
01:55:39,080 --> 01:55:42,160
Speaker 4: vat of twenty four carried gold.

1883
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 2: Huh.

1884
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 3: Also a good question. What all right, So when you

1885
01:55:51,800 --> 01:55:53,120
Speaker 3: maybe that's what it's about.

1886
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 4: When you're sitting on that that percentage of the world's

1887
01:55:56,960 --> 01:56:04,360
Speaker 4: oil reserves and the world runs on oil. The money's not,

1888
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:08,680
Speaker 4: like I'm saying, it's not going to stop coming. Whether

1889
01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:12,760
Speaker 4: people watch the live golf tournaments or not. But if

1890
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 4: you're entertained by them, if you're entertained by some of

1891
01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:21,760
Speaker 4: the best golfers in the world coming and playing in

1892
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:26,840
Speaker 4: this tournament that you've put together, and then yeah, this

1893
01:56:27,040 --> 01:56:27,800
Speaker 4: is pretty cool.

1894
01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough. You don't think it's gonna

1895
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:36,760
Speaker 2: be a football game in Dubai. Of course there is you.

1896
01:56:38,200 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 3: They might they might all be there, right, I don't know,

1897
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:46,040
Speaker 3: So just think, just think to that level. Yep, I

1898
01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:49,400
Speaker 3: got you, I got you. We're in the Tyrack dot

1899
01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:52,360
Speaker 3: com studios. It's been the biggest story in the NFL

1900
01:56:52,480 --> 01:56:55,640
Speaker 3: for the last two weeks and for some reason, uh,

1901
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 3: the script writers are having a hard time with the

1902
01:56:57,720 --> 01:57:00,760
Speaker 3: last chapter. So before we get here, I got to

1903
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 3: ask you about it. We'll do that coming up next.

1904
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:06,480
Speaker 3: Mark Withity from salam Fox Sports Radio. All Right, we're

1905
01:57:06,520 --> 01:57:09,560
Speaker 3: sitting here in the Tirak dot com studios with just

1906
01:57:09,640 --> 01:57:12,280
Speaker 3: a few minutes left before plankt span you hop in

1907
01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:16,840
Speaker 3: here Mark withity from Salam. We almost made it, man,

1908
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:19,200
Speaker 3: we almost made it a full three hours without me

1909
01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:21,040
Speaker 3: asking you about Brandon Ayuk.

1910
01:57:23,240 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 2: But dude, now, what what? What? On Earth?

1911
01:57:28,680 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 3: And I've I've reached the point where whatever is being

1912
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 3: said on Twitter, I don't I don't really believe it.

1913
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:39,280
Speaker 3: So I don't think that every team's average annual value

1914
01:57:39,360 --> 01:57:43,320
Speaker 3: for Brandon has all been perfectly reported correctly and all

1915
01:57:43,320 --> 01:57:46,080
Speaker 3: that stuff. But bottom line is this, I do believe

1916
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:48,440
Speaker 3: the reports that the forty nine ers have up their offer.

1917
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:52,640
Speaker 3: I do believe the reports that trades have been agreed

1918
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,600
Speaker 3: to with the Browns, Patriots and Steelers. And I know

1919
01:57:55,680 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 3: that Brandon has reacted to all that by a not

1920
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 3: signing with the Niners, but b also not accepting any

1921
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:06,200
Speaker 3: trade and showing up to practice the last few days

1922
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 3: in sneakers. But like watching closely by the end zone.

1923
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:16,680
Speaker 3: What what's going on? There's a game three weeks from tomorrow,

1924
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:20,880
Speaker 3: what's his play? What's he doing? I don't understand.

1925
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 4: I mean, sometimes, look, he's a grown man. He's a

1926
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 4: grown man, and obviously he's made some decisions in his

1927
01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:32,840
Speaker 4: life about how he's going to handle things. And look,

1928
01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:35,080
Speaker 4: I tell my kids. I tell my nephews this really

1929
01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 4: because they are adults now, early twenties. I said, hey, man,

1930
01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:53,200
Speaker 4: adult decisions come with adopt consequences. So remember that if

1931
01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:56,840
Speaker 4: you want to decide to do something based on how

1932
01:58:56,880 --> 01:59:01,879
Speaker 4: you feel, and I'm grown, and then they come consequences whatever,

1933
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 4: they're not kid consequences. They are adult consequences. So he

1934
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 4: can continue to do this and I'm gonna get what

1935
01:59:09,880 --> 01:59:13,000
Speaker 4: I want and get okay, all right, But guess what,

1936
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:16,360
Speaker 4: whether he decides to be trade, whatever happens, the forty

1937
01:59:16,440 --> 01:59:18,760
Speaker 4: nine Ers are going to play a game in the

1938
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:23,160
Speaker 4: regular season in two weeks with or without him. So

1939
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:27,919
Speaker 4: will the Cincinnati Bengals, solo the Stealers. So will every

1940
01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:32,480
Speaker 4: other team. Chris Carter told us this at our rookie

1941
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:35,800
Speaker 4: symposum in ninety eight. Look right at Peyton Manning, and

1942
01:59:35,800 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 4: he said, Peyton Manning, the NFL does not need you

1943
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:42,160
Speaker 4: to play a game. It will keep going without you,

1944
01:59:42,520 --> 01:59:45,400
Speaker 4: Brandon Nayuk. They will play without.

1945
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:48,280
Speaker 3: You, they certainly will. And Fox Sports Radio will go

1946
01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:50,320
Speaker 3: on without us. That's true too.

1947
01:59:50,360 --> 01:59:50,720
Speaker 2: Ephan
