Speaker 1: doo doo, doo doo doo. So the way I look

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: at it with with sports radio is, let's not over

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: complicate it. Hey, it's two stories today and only two

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: that matter. We addressed the first one, which is unbelievable

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: come back by the Pacers and when what happens down

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City all those things, and we'll get to

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: some of that too in in hour two. But the

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: other thing is Aaron Rodgers is a Pittsburgh Steeler. He's

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh Steeler. That happened yesterday, And I do think

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: it's funny that Aaron Rodgers was kind of shown up

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: by the President Elon Musk going at it yesterday, you're like, hey, hey,

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I signed, I'm going to Pittsburgh. Not official, but released,

24
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: and everybody knows what's going to happen. But because Elon

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: is tweeting about Potis and then Potus is apparently giving

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: back the tesla that he got that he received on

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: the White House lawn, that's amazing theater and it out

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: shown Aaron Rodgers back into the Nation Football League. But

29
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: I just I don't know how anyone thinks this is

30
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: not a great thing outside of for Mason Rudolf, and

31
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: even Mason Rudolf, you're sitting there going like, yeah, this sucks,

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: but you would have to think that Mason and the

33
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Steelers knew a long time ago. And oh yeah, by

34
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the way, there's no definite that Aaron Rodgers plays every

35
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: game or that Aaron Rodgers finishes the season because he

36
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: has had health issues and he is older. But outside

37
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: of Mason Rudolf, who wouldn't be crazy excited about this?

38
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: Not because it makes the Steelers great it makes the

39
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: Steelers really interesting. And you can say whatever you want

40
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: to say about Rogers. You don't like his appearances on McAfee,

41
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: you don't like his defiance on that in vaccines or

42
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: some of the things he says. You're entitled to your opinion.

43
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: You're entitled in your opinion about how good he was,

44
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: how good he is now. You are entitled to that.

45
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: What you're not entitled to do is say, yeah, I'd

46
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: prefer to see Mason Rudolph play to Aaron Rodgers play again.

47
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Mason's a friend of mine, literally hung out text whatever.

48
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: He's good dude, And I told him and I tell everybody, like,

49
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: I want to see Aaron Rodgers play. It's one of

50
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks to ever play football, and he's trying

51
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: to defy so many of the odds. Age still off

52
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: of injury. The Jets get that off me. I mean,

53
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: took Sam darvald a couple of years to get that

54
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: Jets muck off him. Geno Smith, he had to get

55
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: that Jets off him, Like I got Jets on me?

56
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Is that Jets on your shirt? I got Jets? Oh? Oh?

57
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Having Jets on your resume as a quarterback outside probably

58
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: of Brett Favre. It's kind of like stepping in dog poopy,

59
00:03:50,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: like poop again, you ever have the like like and

60
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: you have just like a little speck on your shoes.

61
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: You're like checking your shoes like I'm good, I'm good,

62
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: and then there's this little tiny in the crevice of

63
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: your shoe. You're like, oh god, that's what it is.

64
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: Then you hose it down and you're like, I'm good.

65
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: That's the Jets you got. I gotta get that Jets

66
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: off me. Todd Bowles took him a couple of years

67
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: to get the Jets off him working with the Buccaneers.

68
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: Now he's their head coach, right, So I just again,

69
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: you don't have to like Aaron Rodgers. Dan Byer doesn't

70
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers. I know he doesn't. It's not personal.

71
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: He's just never been a Rogers guy. He's never one

72
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: of these just he just kind of Dan. Is it

73
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: fair to say you were over Aaron Rodgers a good

74
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: while ago?

75
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: Yes, that's fair, okay, fair nothing nothing personal, but no, yeah,

76
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 2: there's just as hard to be extra.

77
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: There's always something extra.

78
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, with Aaron it's it's a lot like

79
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: the West Side of Los Angeles. It's a lot like

80
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: midtown Manhattan, right where it's not bad, but god, it's

81
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot. It's just a lot, seemingly unnecessarily, so unnecessarily,

82
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: and that's Aaron Rodgers, Like, look, dude, it's quarterback. This

83
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: is not that harder. Gate get a lot of money,

84
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: try to win games, work with your guys, be the representative,

85
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: essentially the mayor of the city. Do it again, do

86
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: it again, do it again and again, and it just

87
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: got increasingly difficult, or at least outward appearances, it's just

88
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: a difficult. I think I thought Mark Murphy had the

89
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: best way to express how most people view Aaron Rodgers.

90
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: Do you remember what he said by her?

91
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: I can't remember the exact word, but so I'm going

92
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: to say no, because there were a couple in my mind,

93
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: but I can't remember the exactly I think he said.

94
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: He's a complicated fellow.

95
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: Okay.

96
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was complicated. I didn't think it

97
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: was difficult. I thought it was complicated.

98
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: Right, which is a complicated is such a great word

99
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: because it doesn't actually mean what it's defined as meaning.

100
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: It's not like mediocre like people say mediocre and they

101
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: always mean bad, but mediocre is average? Is average? An

102
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: average by definition is not bad, it's average, it's average.

103
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: How is your dinner mediocre? If you say mediocre, be like, wow,

104
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: what was wrong with it? Like nothing, it was mediocre,

105
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: it was average. But mediocre has a negative connotation, Is

106
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: that fair, Dan?

107
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

108
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think complicated, same thing, like complicated is

109
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: just well, it's complicated. But the truth is it's a

110
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: great code word for he's a pain in the ass,

111
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: right right? How is she like, I want to set

112
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: you up with this girl? Like ash? Tell me better, better,

113
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: ten better? Her dating history? It's complicated? Whoa red flags?

114
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: What's going on with you guys? Right now? Wow? It's complicated?

115
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Complicated? Yes, yes, yes, there is. There has never been

116
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: a healthy relationship that anyone has ever described as complicated. Fair?

117
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: Fair, okay, agreed, second motion carries.

118
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: So the point is that when Mark when Mark Murphy,

119
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: the outgoing president of the Green Bay Packers a couple

120
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: of years ago, said it's a complicated fella, everybody's like,

121
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: got it, He's a pain in the ass, really talented,

122
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: but God, just take the snap, throw the ball, score

123
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: the touchdown, shake the shake the hands, kiss, the baby

124
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: signed the autographs. Not that hard, but it just again

125
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: everything sort of complicated, and again complicated by dictionary definition

126
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: means just that, hey, it's not an easy year. There's

127
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: no one easy word to define somebody super bright, super engaging,

128
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: super charming, super talented. There are people that really, really

129
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: really really like and appreciate him. There are people that don't.

130
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: But again, the complicated by dictionary definition is, hey, it's

131
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: not good. It's not bad. It's just there's there's layers

132
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: to it. Complicated in urban terms, in normal discussion is

133
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: oh YoY, it is complicated, which is it's a lot.

134
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: So again, my challenge is for anybody to reasonably say

135
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: the reason we say, I'm not going to pay attention

136
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: and like, look, this is one of those for the

137
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, I would say that not the last year

138
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: of Ben Roethlisberger, the next to last year of Ben

139
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: Roethsberger was the last year they had competent quarterback play.

140
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: And look, Mason I thought did a good job a

141
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: couple of years ago of getting them to the playoffs.

142
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: That was probably his, you know, his best year. But

143
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: it was really like, hey, let's just let's just do

144
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: the best we can. And maybe that was coordinator. I

145
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: don't know. They've changed coordinators since then. But Ben Roethlisberger

146
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: really probably you go back to twenty eighteen, right, so

147
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: we're talking twenty eighteen, which is seven eight years ago, right,

148
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: he threw for five thousand yards. I mean, he was

149
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: a he was a star. I mean, if you go

150
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty, like he was still they were twelve

151
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: and three, he was thirty three touchdowns, ten interceptions, I'd

152
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: be willing to say twenty ten, twenty twenty, so even

153
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: that is five seasons ago. This was the last time

154
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: they had competent quarterback play.

155
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: Yes, dam yeah.

156
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: And I would even say even before that, like I

157
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: think the five thousand season, and twenty eighteen is the

158
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: one that's probably best. Because his elbow injury forced him

159
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: to miss most of twenty nineteen, he played a game again.

160
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: He only played two games that year, one of itch

161
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: was Week two against the Seahawks. It was also, by

162
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: the way, the infamous game where the pass interference penalty

163
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: kind of where you could call replay on pass interference

164
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: and remember that after the Rams Saints debacle. But Roethlisberger's

165
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 2: elbow kind of was shot in that Week two game

166
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: and didn't return that year. And I don't think that

167
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: he was the same in twenty twenty, even though the numbers,

168
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: you know, are respectable. But yeah, that last season was

169
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: not good.

170
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you probably even could go back to seventeen

171
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: when they're twelve and three, twenty eight, fourteen, four thousand

172
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: yards balanced attack, really really good. Right, So we're talking

173
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: about more than half a decade since the Pittsburgh Steelers

174
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: had had competent quarterback play, probably Hall of Fame quarterback player.

175
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and dougd even just make the point about Kenny Pickett.

176
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: Just when they took Kenny Pickett, which I think was

177
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: around nineteen somewhere in that ballpark, in the first round,

178
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: that's not addressing your quarterback situation.

179
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: It's just it's not.

180
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: If Kenny Pickett was that sought after, that much of

181
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: a solution, he would have been picked way earlier in

182
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: that draft. So like, even to that point of them

183
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: taking Kenny Pickett first round, I don't think they ever

184
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: then really truly addressed their situation. But it felt like, hey,

185
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: went to pitt that's the right deal. He's still there.

186
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: Look at what he did. Steelers need a quarterback, let's

187
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: make it work. But I don't think that that was

188
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: a really viable solution as a general rule. I don't

189
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: think it's a viable solution that you're addressing your quarterback

190
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: play if you're taking him outside the top fifteen.

191
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: A general rule. Although, like Jordan Love Aaron Rodgers, right,

192
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: I think that was the model they tried to. Hey,

193
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: we got a guy that maybe slipped through the cracks

194
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: and co and Kenny Pickett remember played in the same stadium.

195
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: They felt like they had a better working knowledge of

196
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: him than anybody.

197
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: Else know, which actually makes it worse.

198
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, yes, you should have known.

199
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: There's no surprise.

200
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: You should have known.

201
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: You should have known twentieth you could have filmed every

202
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: practice and it wouldn't have been illegal, And yet you

203
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: you did not, and you still swung and missed. This

218
00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. So I'm a big believer

219
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: in this. Right that ESPN when I worked there and

220
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: even since gets a lot of criticism from people for

221
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: promoting their own stuff Right now, they do so too much.

222
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: I thought the did anybody hear Bayer? Did you hear

223
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: any of that Ringer podcast where or it was actually on?

224
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: It was they posted posted on x as well where

225
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: Rissillo was talking about was talking about inside the NBA

226
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: coming to ESPN and he's like, hey, unless they do

227
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: one of those crossovers where they add men at Kimes

228
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 1: and did so like super super dead pan, do you

229
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: have to hear any of that?

230
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: I just heard about the clip I didn't hear the

231
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: podcast or actually listen to the clip.

232
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: I just heard about it.

233
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Ryan delivers it in a Jason Stewart like,

234
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: very very dry fashion, so you're like, wait, is he serious,

235
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: And what he was saying is he's just making fun

236
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: of the fact that ESPN they just somewhere in I

237
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: think it was building for was the management when I

238
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: was there. I haven't been there in a long time,

239
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: someone building for or some emails like hey, we have

240
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: this new, bright, shiny object, let's find a way to

241
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: get them involved. Right, That's what Charles Barkley wants to avoid, like,

242
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: don't put me on something where I'm destined to fail,

243
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, just because we want to promote that. And

244
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: obviously they love Mina Kimes, So what he was just

245
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: joking about their infatuation for men. To Kimes, she hadn't

246
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: played football, while she can talk about basketball, she hadn't

247
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: played basketball either, So he's just kind of poking the

248
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: bear a little bit, tongue planted firmly in chic. But

249
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: so I do think though that one of the things

250
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: I learned to you, So I don't like that part

251
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: of ESPN having been there is like why are we

252
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: putting this person on? But I do like the idea

253
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: of why do you promote your own stuff? Because if

254
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: you don't think like anybody else's right. If I don't

255
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: promote what Dan said yesterday as absolutely brilliant, Okay, do

256
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: I think anybody else, even on our own network, is

257
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: going to right? Is Colin Coward gonna go well, he's

258
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: on vacation, But is Dan Patrick gonna go? Hey? I

259
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: was listening to Gottlieb Show, and I know Dan does

260
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: listen because he'll text me and listen to show that

261
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: at Buyer he nailed it and replay it. No, And

262
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: that's why you have to if you do something good,

263
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: tell people about it. If something good's coming up, tell

264
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: you about it. And if you don't like that as

265
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: a listener, just understand if we don't tell you, no

266
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: one else is going to. So here's Dan Bayer and

267
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: I talking about last night's game. Before last night's game happened.

268
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: The thing I'm most watching for tonight is what happens

269
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: in the final six minutes of this game, where I

270
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: believe at some point Oklahoma City will have a lead.

271
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: And we saw it in the Bucks series. We saw

272
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: it in the Cavs series, We saw it in the

273
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: Nick series. Do the Pace have that ability to come

274
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: back from a deficit and do what they did so

275
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: the previous three teams? Is Oklahoma City immune to that?

276
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: And it's not that I'm going to tune in at

277
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: the six minute mark of the game, but it's just

278
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: the fact of does this magical run continue for the

279
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: Indiana Pacers.

280
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I mean, you couldn't really get any

281
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: better than that.

282
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: Dan, Well, thank you, and and I appreciate you pointing

283
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: it out because it was not meant to be a

284
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: hot take it all. You just asked, what are you

285
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: going to watch tonight? Like what is the point? Where

286
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: does it come down to? And that's what it came

287
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: down to. And not only I mean the Bucks game

288
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: is tricky because it was Game five and it closed

289
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: out the series, but the other comebacks in the Cavs

290
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: series and the Knicks series were ones that I just

291
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: felt changed the entire direction or tilted the series into

292
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: the Pacers favor. And that's why last night was I

293
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: had so much gravity and it was heavy because Oklahoma

294
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: City was the overwhelming favorite. But if the Pacers do

295
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: it again, then things switch, and twenty four hours later,

296
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: here we are. I thought your points afterwards, which we

297
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: didn't include in the clip, were also interesting on how

298
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: the Pacers planned for this stuff so for us to

299
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 2: think it's it's a lucky sort of deal, it isn't.

300
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: And I've argued that I thought other teams would usually

301
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: throw in the towel if they had older players, because

302
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: they would be like, oh, we're down by double digits

303
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 2: a minute ago, let's save everybody. That's kind of been

304
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: my point when they had their earlier comebacks. But that's

305
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: not how Indiana does things. And what do you know,

306
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: they're up one zero in the NBA Finals.

307
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: No. I mean interesting that I've actually most of our

308
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: games last year against the bigger opponents, the by games

309
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: guarantee games. One was a close game anyway, but the

310
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: other Ohio State, Oakland State, Providence, like we did the

311
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: same thing. We played hard the whole time. And guys,

312
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: because you have to train people to do that, you

313
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: can't ever wait. Once you waved the white flag, you're

314
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: waving the white flag for the year, I believe. But

315
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: it's also the other parts we talked about is the

316
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: three point shooting and how they just kind of specifically

317
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: target trying to get threes when they have, but good

318
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: smart threes, not just chuck up threes late.

319

325
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: domin I form NFL GM with the Tampay Buccaneers and

326
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: he joins us a weekly as talking about Hey, I

327
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: do want to ask again? And I talked about this

328
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: on somebody else's podcast earlier. It's like sports guys are

329
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: sports guys, right, if you've been in high level sports,

330
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: there's generally respect that's carried. I take it you watched

331
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals last night. I did, what'd you think

332
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: of the Pacers comeback?

333
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 5: I thought it was amazing. I mean it's a team

334
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 5: that every thought. Okay, see he was going to sweep

335
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 5: the series. And that's why you play the game and

336
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 5: you get to watch all the way to the end. Uh,

337
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 5: you know, I love it. I love it an upset

338
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 5: or an underdog. Certainly in that situation when we went

339
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl, we were the underdog, so I'm always

340
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 5: kind of rooting that way.

341
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's it, it's it's it's it's a great point.

342
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: And I also love the just the idea that it's

343
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: never over, like stop, it's just not over. I hate

344
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: the white flag, even when the white flag should should,

345
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: in fact be be waived. We find out this week

346
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. Okay,

347
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: what are what are your expectations as a guy who's

348
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: been in around this league for over a quarter century.

349
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of what we talked about, right, Doug.

350
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 5: I think we both thought, if he's going to show up,

351
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 5: he's got a sign before the you know, the veteran

352
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 5: mini camp, and he does exactly that, And I think

353
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 5: that's all I had to do. This guy's played so

354
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 5: much football. You know, Steelers fans can uh. I think

355
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: they should actually rejoice. I know Aaron Rodgers in the

356
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 5: last couple of years has not created much of a

357
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 5: happy spot for anybody, including himself, But I just think

358
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 5: it's going to be a good fit for him in Pittsburgh.

359
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 5: Mike Tomlin and just his demeanor I think is going

360
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 5: to be a good fit for Aaron Rodgers and the

361
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 5: way he handles things. And I think what you're gonna

362
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 5: expect is a guy that's gonna be ready to go

363
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: Week one of the regular season without a doubt. He's

364
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 5: going to get through the you know this veteran mini camp.

365
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 5: He'll have to playbook for a month, he can work

366
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 5: with the coaches on the side if he needs to,

367
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 5: and he'll be ready to go. I don't think there's

368
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 5: going to be any hiccup here in terms of Aaron

369
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 5: Rodgers being the starting quarterback Week one for the Pittsburgh Steelers,

370
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 5: and I think he will continue to streak for the

371
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 5: Steelers to win you know, tenor or at least be

372
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 5: five hundred, and certainly gives the Steelers in the division

373
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 5: that's brutal, I still a chance to very much compete.

374
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so what does it do to that division?

375
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think the hard thing in the division is

376
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be where maybe two teams

377
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 5: can come out of there because they're going to beat

378
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 5: each other up, and then you sit around and look

379
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 5: at you know, the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills,

380
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 5: and certainly you know South with the Chargers and the

381
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 5: Chiefs and where Denver is, and so I think what's

382
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 5: going to happen in the central is. I think it's

383
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 5: going to be too hard to get three teams out

384
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 5: of there. I think it's going to be luckily two teams,

385
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 5: max that are going to make it through. But I

386
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 5: do think two teams will come out of there. But

387
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 5: it's you know, since they certainly feels like a team

388
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 5: should be good. Pittsburgh. You know, Baltimore is going to

389
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: be good, and it's whether Pittsburgh can get to that magic.

390
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 5: I think eleven wins because I think that's what's going

391
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 5: to take in the AFC this year.

392
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: Stug Ot Leave show here on Fox Sports Radio. Mark

393
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: Dominic is our guest of course, all things football is.

394
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: He's a guy who's worked in NFL front offices, scouting

395
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: you name, and of course been the been the gentlem

396
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I did read an

397
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: article where hey there's some heat on Todd Bowles.

398
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 5: Why that's a hard one, you know, I think there's

399
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 5: I feel like there's always heat on Todd Bowles and

400
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 5: he's been able to, you know, pivot around it and

401
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 5: work through it. And you know, in the last couple

402
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 5: of years, I mean, the Bucks have made the playoffs

403
00:21:59,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 5: now what four straight?

404
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's why it's surprising to me when I read that.

405
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 5: Why you know, to Todd's a nice and everybody likes

406
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 5: Todd Bowles. Todd Bowles may not be the most dynamic leader,

407
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 5: might not be the most triumphant kind of guy, but

408
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 5: the Glaziers have a brand around Tony Dungee and they

409
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 5: know a smart guy when they see one, And you know,

410
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 5: I think of that way. I think it's like, you know,

411
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 5: Todd Bowles might not be the John Gruden when I

412
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 5: was a John. He's going to be a little bit

413
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 5: more mild and not as boisterous. But I don't think

414
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 5: the Glaziers they're not quick to move and change when

415
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 5: you've got four years of success. And I don't expect

416
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: any heat on Todd Bulls. They could go seven and

417
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 5: ten and I think Todd Bowles is completely safe. I

418
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 5: don't see it change there for at least two years,

419
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 5: if it's even at all.

420
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: Mark Dominik's our guest here on the Doug Gottlieb Show

421
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Frank ragnow retires tires. You've been

422
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: having to rebuild rosters forever. How big a loss is

423
00:22:54,400 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: that for the Lions in in addition to the coordinator

424
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: losses than any other personnel they've lost the offseason.

425
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you're you're you're kind of when your

426
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 5: captain's on your team walks away, and that's fine, that's

427
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 5: his prerogative. I think there's a couple of things. They

428
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 5: signed Tristan Coloone who has been a very good journeyman

429
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 5: offensive lineman who continues to get you know, he goes

430
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 5: to Baltimore the draft Trevor with limb Debaum and he's,

431
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 5: you know, moved out to the Jets, and they draft

432
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: Joe Tittman. This guy's I think he's gonna have a

433
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 5: chance to be the starting center there and I think

434
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 5: he's got enough experience where I think they'll be okay

435
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 5: if not. I think it's big news for Christian Mahogany,

436
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 5: a player that Detroit Lions fans probably know who is

437
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 5: that most fans don't. That's a he's a guard that

438
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 5: came in from Boston College last year and absolutely played

439
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 5: spectacular down the stretch for them, and so I think

440
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 5: they got would sign interest in Cologne having Christian Mahogany

441
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: being the guy that I think can step up. Yes,

442
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: it hurts, but I don't think it's just shattering. I

443
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 5: think the coordinator loss is more significant anytime every time,

444
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: and you know that's a hard thing to replace. But

445
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 5: you know, I think the Frank Rag now, I think

446
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 5: it's okay. I think they can overcome it, and I

447
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: don't think it's can be impact in their offense.

448
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: Okay, got leave show Fox Sports Trader that that's Mark Dominic.

449
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: He's joining us here on the show as he does

450
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: every week. I was, I was looking at this and

451
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: I was I was just kind of interested by it

452
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: that Richardson's hurt. Anthony Richardson's hurt with his shoulder, and look,

453
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: his performance hasn't been good enough. And you can say, well,

454
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: maybe it's because he's been banged up, but it's hard

455
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: for him to even get the off season work in

456
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: because he's been hurting. Some of these off seasons they

457
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: bring in Daniel Jones, give me your sense of going

458
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: on in Indie in terms of their planning for this season. Yeah.

459
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 5: I mean they've got to find out what richards can do,

460
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 5: and if Richardson can't stay healthy for another season, they

461
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 5: know they've got to make a change. But it's Richardson's job.

462
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 5: I don't think Chris Ballard's going to pull the plug

463
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 5: on Anthony Richardson, even if mister Ersay was the one

464
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 5: who really wanted Richardson worse than anybody. I think Chris

465
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 5: Ballard's had a lot of opportunity here with quarterbacks. I

466
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 5: mean he's basically have a new starter almost every year

467
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 5: he's been That's a hard thing to do and keep

468
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 5: your job. Chris is doing that because he's a good evaluator.

469
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 5: But this is the Euro I think it's a fisher

470
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 5: cut bait for Anthony Richardson and possibly the front office.

471
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 5: So I think it's Richardson's job, and I think you're right, Doug.

472
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 5: I mean, and this is something people were worried about

473
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 5: when he's coming out, is can you stay healthy? Can

474
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 5: he stay on the field? And his body is just

475
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 5: not letting him do that because it's a hard game,

476
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 5: and so this is a very frustrating time. They're thankful

477
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 5: to have Daniel Jones. Maybe that's why Daniel Jones chose

478
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 5: the Colts over stain in like a Minnesota because he

479
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 5: thought he could get to the field sooner because of

480
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 5: the injury history. And that's probably the reason why Daniel

481
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 5: Jones is on that roster.

482
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably is. If you look at the internet, Shador

483
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: Sanders is killing it in this min in the the

484
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: mini camp. What's the reality of what you hear is

485
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: going on in Cleveland?

486
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I have a feeling Shador is playing well.

487
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 5: You know again, I think so far, it feels like

488
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 5: for the most part, he's handling everything you can the

489
00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 5: right way since the post draft slide or drop or whatever.

490
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 5: And I think that's been good news. And certainly Dion's

491
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: been a lot quieter and a little more humbled up.

492
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: And I think it's all what they need to do.

493
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 5: They just need to pen their ears back and go

494
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 5: to work. And I think he's been doing that. I've

495
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 5: said all along. I think he's better than Gabriel. I

496
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 5: think he's going to be a better quarterback. I think

497
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 5: he was, you know, higher rated quarterback in most teams boards.

498
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 5: You know, can he beat out Joe Flacco? I don't

499
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 5: think he will. Week one. I think Joe Flacko will

500
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 5: hold the job just because of the experience and it's

501
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 5: a you know, an important year obviously for Cleveland. But

502
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 5: I think if Joe Flacco's slips, I think Schador can

503
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 5: find his way to the field very quickly, even I

504
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 5: think faster than maybe Kenny Pickett can, just because of

505
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 5: the fact that if he continues to flash in minicamp,

506
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 5: he's got to carry that over once they put the

507
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 5: real pads on. So it's hard. You know, when you

508
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 5: see a young guy flashing midiamp, especially quarterback, you take

509
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 5: that with a grain of salt, Doug because you realize

510
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 5: it's right now, it's sugarcoated. It's it's not real. You

511
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 5: can't touch the quarterback. They know that, so they can

512
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 5: sit back there and pick people apart and not be worried.

513
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 5: It's a little as you can imagine, it's a lot

514
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: different when we get to the preseason and things really fly.

515
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: So it sounds good. We'll have to wait and see.

516
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think about salabing back in San Francisco.

517
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: Some of the personnel is different. He's bringing back some

518
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: personnel that he coached in New York. Does that work right?

519
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: Where you bring a guy back who had been there

520
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: previously in that position after being a head coach.

521
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 5: I think it works fantastic and I think it's a

522
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 5: huge hire for Sanrancisco and they're very fortunate to get

523
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 5: Robert solid back. He's extremely bright, he knows what he's doing.

524
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 5: He's been there, he's worked with the staff before, so

525
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 5: they know him. You know, it's a gentleman. So it's

526
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 5: very fluid, very smooth, and I think it's a great

527
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 5: sign for the forty nine ers who are going to

528
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 5: need help this year a little bit more because of,

529
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 5: you know, some of the decisions they had to make

530
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 5: to be able to get Brock pretty under a contract.

531
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 5: So from the defensive standpoint, you are very thankful if

532
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 5: you're John Lynch and Coach Sanahan to be able to

533
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 5: have a Robert Sahl available back right into where he

534
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 5: used to be. I love it.

535
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: Okay, last thing, Derek Carr has kind of taking a

536
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: victory lap over. Hey, you know, could have held out

537
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: on this thing, could a rehabbed turned back in my

538
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: signing bonus, what's the reality to the the kind of

539
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: victory lap over not taking every last dime that he

540
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: feels like he could have taken from the Saints.

541
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 5: I think if you've ever met Derek Carr and you

542
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: get a chance to spend time around him, I have,

543
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 5: he's a special person, like he's a great guy, and

544
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 5: it just goes right in line. I mean, it's huge

545
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 5: for the Saints. It's huge for the organization, you know,

546
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 5: you know, because they're a team that was obviously just

547
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 5: dramatic cap problems and still, you know, technically are I

548
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 5: think he should take a victory lap, and yet you know,

549
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 5: it's a lot of money, but he understands he's made

550
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 5: over two hundred million dollars in his career. He's going

551
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 5: to be just fine. And you know, I appreciate it.

552
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: Now.

553
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 5: Again, most people aren't going to do that. Most people

554
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 5: don't do that. It's his prerogative. But that does go

555
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 5: in line with the character of the guy that I've

556
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 5: always met. And I wouldn't never tell a player to

557
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: walk away from money. I think it's just that's his

558
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 5: own personal You fellows, you can't play, it can't earn,

559
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 5: it doesn't isn't owde It good for him, Again, huge

560
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 5: for the Saints, but that does fall in line with

561
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 5: the character of the guy that I've met.

562
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why, and that's why you sign guys like that.

563
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: You even give those guys a little bit more money

564
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: because you feel like you're going to get the most

565
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: out of those guys. Hey, Mark a great, have a

589
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: to think we have any business to clean up here. Nope,

590
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: let's get to the press. The press, Dan Byer, tell

591

Speaker 1: me everything that you can going on in sports.

592
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'll try, Doug. It's a Friday, it's summertime. We're

593
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: down to the NBA finals. They get a couple of

594
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: days off. Stanley Cup final is tonight. There's other news

595
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: in hockey that we'll touch on, but we start in tennis,

596
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: where the match is just completed at the French Open.

597
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: Top seed Yonixon, a winner over six seed Novak Djokovic

598
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: in straight sets to advance to the French Open final.

599
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: For Djokovic, trying to get Grand Slam title number twenty five,

600
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: which would be the most of any man or woman,

601
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: falls two rounds short. In fact, Doug, the stat that

602
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: was put up on the broadcast on TNT stated that

603
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: Djokovic had not been beaten in a Grand Slam event

604
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: in straight sets since Wimbledon of twenty ten, but today

605
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,240

608
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: Djokovic done? Put him out the past year? Why not

609
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: just eliminate him from competition?

610
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: I'll say this, It's funny when we look back at

611
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: the greatest and you and I have talked about the

612
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: trio of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, and ultimately aw Djokovic

613
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: may be considered the best because he played in this

614
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: era with Nadal and Federer, where when Federer came on,

615
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: Federer was the first win. I started racking up titles

616
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: Nadal and Djokovic about the same age. But now it's

617
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: a guy like Yannick Sinner, who's a multi time Grand

618
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: Slam Award winner looking for his first title in Paris

619
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: that could be standing in the way. He and Alkaaz

620
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: could be the ones to prevent Djokovic from that. So

621
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: everything that comes full circle.

622
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: Well, I hear you on Federer, I would say Djokovic

623
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: also had a lot of success as the other two

624
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: aged out right and Nadal had success the middle mostly

625
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: most of it was at Rolin Garrows, but also suffered

626
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: more injuries than the other two. So it's a really

627
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: you know what this discussion is.

628
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: It's complicated by the way, speaking of upsets, complete upset

629
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: that Sam did not bump back, speaking of bumper music

630
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: with Avril Levine's complicated. When you brought up the Aaron

631
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: Rodgers story and we were coming back from the four

632
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 2: to twenty eastern one twenty Pacific time break, that was

633
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: quite the upset you went, I think with the outfield

634
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: instead instead of complicated by Avril Levine.

635
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 3: Is that correct? Sam?

636
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 6: I can confirm that Sam did ponder using complicated because

637
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 6: he sang it loudly to himself at one point when

638
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 6: when Aaron U and when when the topic came up,

639
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 6: So it was under consideration for bump back. I will

640
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 6: give him credit there. But yes, he did bounce bounce

641
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 6: back with the outfield instead.

642
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 3: I did.

643
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 7: I went with a song off my wall. I just thought,

644
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 7: I don't know how Doug would react to some Avril

645
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 7: VN on the air, so I I took it. I

646
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 7: took the safe path.

647
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 4: When have you ever.

648
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: Thought of me when playing bumper music all the time.

649
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 2: You did not realize like Sam is when if you

650
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: if you give a nod to his bumper music makes

651
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: his day.

652
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: I understand, But like in terms of stuff, I don't like.

653
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that that you actually cared about stuff.

654
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 7: I don't like w W d W What would Doug

655
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 7: w W d D What would Doug do there? You

656
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 7: go wwds? What would Doug say about that? I don't

657
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 7: think you would have taken kindly to Avrilvin www.

658
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: It would have made sense with the complicated I like

659
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: when you that mean shows you're paying attention.

660
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: Is the fake radio station that you use when you're

661
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: breaking in to get your w's. So so you don't

662
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 2: say ww you got to say wwwwww. All right, So

663
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 2: the French Open was on TNT. Doug, You're going to

664
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: see more college football on TNT because ESPN is going

665
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: to sub license some of their college football playoffs semi

666
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: final games to the network in twenty twenty six, twenty

667
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: twenty seven, and twenty twenty eight.

668
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting, right, Like TNT actually doing more

669
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: sports now they're not doing the one sports show that

670
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: everybody knew them for Yes, it's the weirdest thing.

671
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 3: Correct.

672
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: No more NBA. No, we're inside the NBA. Lots of

673
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: other sports. None of it haven't do with the NBA.

674
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: They still have the show, but they SUBLICNSE that back

675
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: to ESPN.

676
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: In a perfect segue, because tonight on TNT you could

677
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: see Game two of the Stanley Cup Final between the

678
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. Is Iowa, Sam and I

679
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: can continue our quest for hoping that a Canadian team

680
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 2: wins the Stanley Cup. Right now, Edmonton, so far, so good,

681
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: up one game to none.

682
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Right, Yes, did they stand aside that

683
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: by each that's the more the French side, that's not that, yeah.

684
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 3: Berda, that's ways away.

685
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah they did.

00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 4: They still say ozer olser it's more in.

687
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 2: My neck of the woods up in the maybe maybe

688
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: that part of yeah, the up and up in Canada.

689
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 3: By the way, one of the things that state.

690
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 4: By the way, one of the.

691
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: Things I loved about watching the Oilers win the other

692
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: night is we're getting close to the summer solstice. We're

693
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 2: just about two weeks or so away, so the days

694
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: are getting really long. It was nine to fifty local

695
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: time in Edmonton when the oilers won and it was

696
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: still daylight.

697
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 4: Yes, right outside, people walk on the shirt off.

698
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: Like now the sun may not have been up at

699
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: that point, it was twilight. It was significant, like you

700
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: could get by if you didn't have your your your

701
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 2: lights on, Like if you were driving and someone didn't

702
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: have their lights on, you'd be like, Okay, I see that.

703
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 2: You know, five more minutes later, maybe a flashier lights

704
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: to turn them on, but yeah, still daylight at nine

705
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: point fifty in Edmonton.

706
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 7: The other night parts of North America and Alaska. You

707
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 7: go farther north, you go, you tend to get like

708
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 7: really long, really long days.

709
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's that.

710
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: There's an island again, I got I got caught in

711
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: some it was either TikTok or Instagram reels thing whether

712
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: there's an island in northern Norway where it's daylight all

713
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: summer and then so there's like like time stops and

714
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: then dark all winter, and it's crazy.

715
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 2: There's there's I've seen stuff on Norway towns as well

716
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 2: that are kind of in between the fjords, so the

717
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: sun in the winter doesn't rise up, so they have

718
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: mirrors that reflect the sun into the town in the

719
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: winter months. True story, to help it give at least

720
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: some light when there wouldn't be a lot in those

721
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 2: winter months.

722
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 3: Wow.

723
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: ESPN reports that Texas Tech pitcher Najari Kennedy signed another

724
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 2: nil deal to stay with the Red Raiders. She played

725
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: two seasons at Stanford, then got a lot of cash

726
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 2: to play at Texas Tech. Kennedy's going to get another

727
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: million dollars at least to play for the Red Raiders.

728
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: According to ESPN, Texas Tech tonight faces Texas and the

729
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: Winner take all Game three of the Women's College World Series.

730
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: I wish I could tell you you don't have to

731
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: follow the money to follow who's a good team, but

732
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: you have to follow the money to find out who's

733
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: a good team.

734
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: With Texas Tech and finally Doug, the Knicks are expecting

735
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: to make a formal request to interview Mavericks head coach

736
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd for their coaching vacancy.

737
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: Hmm. And remember he was a Nick when he last

738
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: played in the NBA. Then he was the Nets head

739
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: coach that next year. And that, my friends, is the

740
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: press bag.

741
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 4: Get out there and pressed.

742
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 3: That was the press.

743
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: Okay, let's prep you a little bit for Sunday because

744

00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday. But the thunder are an eleven

746
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:20,960

Speaker 1: take Indiana.

752
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, even in the other comebacks, they haven't been blown

753
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: out in those other games.

754
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think they'll be a blowout at some

755
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: point in the series. I don't think it's Sunday. Enjoy

756
