1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,240

Speaker 1: every single year, single year.

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: What shit, I'm so mad at you. Why would you?

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I know why you would.

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: Try and piss me off this way before three hours

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,040

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: You are not a man of the people. I am

28
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: a man of the people, and I'm here to tell

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: you if you're not an elitist, you're not rich, and

30
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: you're not an old white dude. You just don't care

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: about golf. Like we cram this down everybody's throats every year,

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: like this is truly some special, incredible thing that everybody

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: across the world is flocking to watch. And I just

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: don't see it. I just I don't understand it. I

35
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: don't understand like I don't want to watch my best

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: friends play golf. Nonetheless, these guys, I don't want to

37
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: stand around and waste all day watching him hit it.

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: It's just nothing about the broadcast is exciting. Nothing about

39
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: the golfer's personalities ever really clicks out on all of it,

40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: out on all of it.

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: Speaking of being elitist, I was complaining today on social

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: media about how did people exist before heated steering wheels

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: and vehicles when it was fifty one degrees in Sunday

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: in Nashville, Tennessee. I don't know how. It's beyond me.

45
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have survived at.

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: A different time. I woke up to snow on the ground,

47
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: so I had to use In Connecticut, I had to

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: use my heated steering. I don't know how people live

49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: without that. I agree with you like heating steering. Heated

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: steering wheels are a necessity. The Masters is just it's

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: just a bunch of unrelatable rich people were hitting the

52
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: little ball around. I just can't get in.

53
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: It is the highest level of professional sports when it

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: comes to the game of golf. You will not be

55
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 3: dismissive of that. After the day of the golf that

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: we just witnessed. You said it yourself eighteen holes away,

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: Rory McElroy from Golfing Immortality.

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: I came in here excited.

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: To talk about golf today, and you're going to take

60
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: it away from me because you want to make it.

61
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: Some debate about does the Masters excite enough people are

62
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: not nonsense. If you want if you care about competitiveness,

63
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: if you care about storylines, if you care about drama

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: and all the other things that attract us to sports.

65
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how much the purse is at the

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: end of the golf round or how much you know,

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: how much Peter Malar these people are dressed in, which

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 3: is very elitist.

69
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: As a bray, I had no free shout outs.

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: I think that you have to appreciate, have to as

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: I were it today, have to appreciate everything that happens

72
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: in the Masters. And how dare you come in here

73
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: and say anything about the broadcast with Jim nance on

74
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: and I won't hear it. I won't have it. I

75
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: won't stand for it. Shaye, Please tell me you're on

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: my side. I can't deal with this man. I'm a

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: big time on your side. When you got people like

78
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves last night saying go watch the Masters, I mean,

79
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: we should have expected this fits as a theater kid,

80
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: you know, we should have known this was going to

81
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: happen like wild athletes enjoy what we enjoy. Fits is

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: Unfortunately he was never an athlete, so I get where

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: he's coming from.

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: But me, that could.

85
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Look unless unless Buck is competing in a Pillsbury Doughboy competition.

86
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: There's no athlete happening over there either. Okay, Like I'm

87
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: just saying, like I'm not looking at at buck over

88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: you're saying he's gonna dunk on anybody. Although you know

89
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: you have gotten quite ripped. I have to give you

90
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: credit for that. Look here, here's the reality somebody a week. Yeah,

91
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: that's fair. I would take that on. So a good

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: friend of ours years ago said to me, well, here's

93
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: the problem. You just haven't experienced Augusta. Once you go

94
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: to Augusta, you'll get that feel. And it was funny

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: because at the time I was doing morning radio in Nashville,

96
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: and so my co host was like, if you just

97
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: go to Augusta, you'll understand it. Just get there once.

98
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: And I said, sure, maybe you're right. And then we

99
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: went to commercial and I look down and my phone

100
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: is blowing up, and I'm like, why is my phone?

101
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: What did I you say that all of my friends

102
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: listening in Nashville have decided to text me God early

103
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: in the morning because the masters are going on, only

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: to open up my phone and discover that the Van

105
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: Parry did, in fact twice go to Augusta. We played

106
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: concerts on the eighteenth Hole twice at Augusta. Both times

107
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: I was offered the time the chance to play around

108
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: a golf at Augusta, and both times I passed on

109
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: that because I don't play golf and I have no

110
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: interest in it. In fact, our production manager at the time,

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: still a good friend, reminded me that it's the place

112
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: I went around complaining that the locker rooms seem kind

113
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: of old, and he's right, the locker rooms did seem

114
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: kind of old, Like I just like all of the magistry,

115
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Like look, history just doesn't hit me that way. It

116
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: never has. When the band played Wrigley and Fenway and

117
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: everybody's like, like, Fenway's a dump. I say what you

118
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: want to say, family is a dump. I don't care.

119
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: Like I like new, shiny, fancy things. So when I

120
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: come into to the Masters and everybody says, oh, it's

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: about the Ambie, It's not like I read the menu

122
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: like everybody else. That doesn't sound like good food to me,

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: Like nothing about that sounded like a great ciders suck.

124
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: That's like I will acknowledge that we need to do

125
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: better Scheffler, like I'm all for the Tomahawks takes or whatever.

126
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: I don't think individually, we should be trying to take

127
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: those down. That's that's more of a group outing type

128
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 3: of situation. We could do better than cheeseburger sliders. That's

129
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: the only thing that you've been right about this entire segment.

130
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: This is the card you have, Stepimento. Cheese sandwiches are affordable.

131
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: It's not worth my time.

132
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: You may as well take a green jacket off of

133
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 3: Tiger Woods, stomp around on it, and then spit on

134
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: it afterwards. For what you've started this segment with, how

135
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: how could you go to Augusta twice? I have no

136
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: interest in anything.

137
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: He also offered to play, and that's where I'm like,

138
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 4: you really declined to play at the most history, Well.

139
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: That's cowardice. It's nothing to do.

140
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 3: He can't like golf, which is why he doesn't want

141
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: to embarrass himself in Augusta.

142
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: Okay, first and foremost, my idea of playing golf is

143
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: taking a bunch of edibles and driving the cart from

144
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: my buddies. Now, having said that, I deferred because everybody

145
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: else got so excited about it, Like everybody else was

146
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: so pumped. So I deferred to guys on the road

147
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: that love playing golf. I was like, Hey, you love

148
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: the game of golf. I don't work here. This will

149
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: mean something to you. You should play. In fact, the

150
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: crew guys remember distinctly that you know, I passed on

151
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: my rounded Augusta. They got to play as a result.

152
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: So look, I made a positive memory for somebody else. You'

153
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: self it from you know what's like?

154
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: I'm just we should ship you off to the live tour.

155
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: I don't want you anywhere near Augusta. I don't want

156
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,320

00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: Of all of it, and you can shove it. I can't.

163
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: I cannot tolerate this.

00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: of the draft, live right here on Fox Sports Radio,

Speaker 1: brought to you by ship Station.

176
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: Before you go back into just disparaging the greatest weekend

177
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: in all of golf, the Joe Douglas element of the

178
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Draft night coverage has me wildly intrigued

179
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: because of stuff that we're going to talk about later.

180
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: Because obviously there's golf going on in the world, it's

181
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: still draft season. We got a lot of quarterback controversy.

182
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: I was waiting for Aaron Rodgers to be announced, Pat

183
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: McAfee's big night out in Pittsburgh. Instead I got Jelly

184
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: Rolling Snoop Dogg and everybody else in between. Like I know,

185
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: there's a lot of different things about draft coverage that

186
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: are interesting, but having Joe Douglas on the Fox Sports

187
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: Radio broadcast is great. That's I'm looking forward to hearing

188
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 3: a part of that.

189
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: Because the Draft, I'm like the Masters, is actually interesting.

190
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: Think about it like a weekend where nothing will actually happen,

191
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: no wins will occur. We will just look at paper

192
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: and decide from underwear whether or not we think teams

193
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: have gotten better or worse. Will be far more interesting

194
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: than the single greatest thing that golf can do. And

195
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: the numbers are going to show it, Like, look, I

196
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: get it. People to watch the Masters. I guess there

197
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: are a ton of rich white people out there, so

198
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: people still watch the Masters, but we all know that

199
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: more people are going to watch the first round of

200
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: the Draft. Like, so if it's this great, remarkable, oh

201
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: my god experience on the sports calendar, I would think

202
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: it would at least outrate you know, unproven guys getting

203
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: to the league that are probably going to be out

204
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: within three years.

205
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, Shay, I hate that.

206
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: As soon as so Fitzy tweeted out that he and

207
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: I were going to be on Fox Sports Radio tonight

208
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: and talking about of rioting different topics, and I tweeted

209
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: a picture of Nico Iamaliava, the Tennessee quarterback who we

210
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: will also get to later on foraying into the wildest

211
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: story in college football that I've heard, probably since we

212
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: got the nil and transfer portal situation and everything that's

213
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: come since. And one of the responses under the tweet

214
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: about guess who we're talking about tonight with a picture

215
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: of Nico is somebody tweeting me and it just says

216
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: sounds like golf with a throwing up emoji.

217
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: I hate that he's right. I hate that he's right.

218
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it.

219
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: I want to talk about Rory and the Shambo on Sunday.

220
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: I want to talk about history versus recency. I want

221
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 3: to talk about LIV golf versus the PGI I want it.

222
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 4: It's important, man, it is. I agree it.

223
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: To people.

224
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: Look, I'm in on LIV Golf versus the PGA because

225
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: there's some drama behind that, like and if they could

226
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: get like if you could get the Bravo people to

227
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: shoot a show on it, maybe I'd be more into it.

228
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: Like give me more of that drama.

229
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: Like there's a Netflix show called Full Swing all about this.

230
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: They're interviewing golfers as they're going through this.

231
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 4: You're just not watching it on Maybe you need to

232
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: watch Full Swing. That's like a lot of people get

233
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: in a golf through it. Maybe that's what you need

234
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: to do.

235
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: This is okay. So it's like, hey, guys, I don't

236
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: like this at all, but I should watch a TV

237
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: show about it. Everywhere. I don't understand this.

238
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: It's different. It's it's it's like it's reality TV basicly

239
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 4: not golf.

240
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: Not only are you disrespectful to sports history, you you

241
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: lack intellectual curiosity, and I'm very disappointed about that. This

242
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: entire if, this entire Formula one phenomenon that overtook the

243
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: United States of America was helped in part by drive

244
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: to survive off Netflix. Like if that's how you got

245
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: to get into different sports, I don't begrudge you that

246
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: plenty of people eat that Hard Knocks crap alive, even

247
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: though it's just JJ Watt at five point thirty in

248
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: the morning flip an a tire for you know, like.

249
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: Six weeks in a row.

250
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: It gets I get that people have different entrances into

251
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: different kind of sports and that football is always going

252
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: to be king. I understand that, but that doesn't mean

253
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: that on the one day that we have such great golf,

254
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: that we have to dismiss it by saying, to talk

255
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 3: about Shador Sanders draft stock falling, which we're gonna.

256
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: Get to later on the show.

257
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing, you're not wrong by. Whatever

258
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: gets you into sport is fine. Can we also acknowledge

259
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: that it felt like that drive or survived thing lasted

260
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: for a second and everybody was like, oh, F one

261
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: f one, f one f one, and now like people

262
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: talking about, like as a Vegas kid that has watched

263
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: the F one races in Vegas be far less popular

264
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: than anyone that presumed like it was the entry point.

265
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: But it didn't keep you there. I'm telling you, you

266
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: know what, I'd say, I'm going to give the Golf

267
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: Show a chance, but I'm not. We've we've really postponed

268
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: the good news, the big news, the massive sports news

269
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: long enough. So he's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz. When

270
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: we come back, college football has changed forever. It's staggering.

271
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: Buck is in the middle of the change as it's

272
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: happening down in Tennessee. There is shocking news that is

273
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: absolutely changing the way the sport is going to be

274
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: managed forever. We'll talk about it when we come back.

275
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz. It's fucking fix fits

276
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

277
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,479
Speaker 2: Well, there's nothing sweet about.

278
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: What's going on in the state of Tennessee right now.

279
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Fox Sports Saturday. He's Jason Fitz'm Buck Rising.

280
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: We are with you for the next few hours.

281
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: It is a mess.

282
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: The world of college athletics, not just college football, has

283
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: been totally upended. And there had to be one player

284
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: and one university that went through this for the first

285
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: time before actual change was enacted. And it just so

286
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 3: happens that it's the University of Tennessee and Nico Iamaliava,

287
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 3: the quarterback who helped guide them to a ten win

288
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: season and a College Football Playoff appearance despite getting blown

289
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: out by Ohio State, a major step for a program

290
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: that's trying to use the name, image and likeness and

291
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 3: transfer portal perfect Storm to bring it back to its

292
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 3: old glory, a fan base that is national and rabid

293
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: and desperate for success. And the day before the spring game,

294
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: their quarterback decides to not show up to practice and

295
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: reports start to float out about contract or nil pay

296
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: renegotiations between the player and the university and finally, for

297
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: the first university that had to go through this, Jason

298
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: fitz Tennessee put their foot down and they are parting

299
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: ways with Nico.

300
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: I Amaliaba.

301
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: We in the span of three days have had the

302
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: first college football hold in and the first program, the

303
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: first power for major college football program say no, we

304
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: will not bend to your demands. As far as the

305
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: craziness that the marketplace has now yielded, where Carson Beck,

306
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: an underperforming Georgia quarterback, transfers to Miami and gets four

307
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: million dollars a year.

308
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of important elements. And for anyone

309
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't know, Buck is sitting in Nashville. I've been

310
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: in Nashville for a long time. We have a lot

311
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: of familiarity with the the Balls program, the Balls fan base,

312
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: for sure, and I think it's important here to sort

313
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: of look at what's been created, right Like if you're

314
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: Nico and the transfer portal for anyone again that doesn't know,

315
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: reopens next week where people can come in and transfer

316
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: from school to school to school. That's why there's some

317
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: conversation about spring games, like do you really want to

318
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: showcase your best talent in the spring game and take

319
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: the chance that they're gonna then be plucked in play

320
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,479
Speaker 1: somewhere else. All of these conversations, so the timing wasn't accidental.

321
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't just about the spring game. It's also about

322
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: Nico knowing that, hey, if you're not going to meet

323
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: my demand, somebody else will. But I guess I would

324
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: say Buck, like, the wild wild West is here, and

325
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: we knew it was here, but this is just the

326
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: latest greatest example. We think of it in terms that

327
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: we can understand. So we think about, well, the wild

328
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: West is here in transfer portal, and we think about it, well,

329
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: the wild West is here in the way that these

330
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: rosters are being subbed in and out all the time.

331
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: But frankly, when you don't have a salary cap, you

332
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: don't have a salary floor, you just got a bunch

333
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: of boosters, you don't have a union that anybody's a

334
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: part of. When you simply have open free market to everybody,

335
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: what are you going to end up with a quarterback that,

336
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: according to some reports, was set to make what two

337
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: point four million dollars this year and wants four He

338
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: wants one point six million dollars more. I mean, Nico

339
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: may never play in the NFL for all we know.

340
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Milton obviously came out of the Tennessee

341
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: program and it is a backup in the NFL. Right,

342
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: So if you have a chance to turn around, if

343
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: you think somebody in the market will pay you one

344
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: point four million dollars more per year in this environment,

345
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: why not take a chance on it. Like, I know

346
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: fans don't want to hear that, but my god, Like

347
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: this is just the modern currency that we have. You

348
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: have the quarterback of a team that thinks he's got

349
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: their backs up against the wall and he wants to

350
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: get more money. I just I don't know why we're

351
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: shocked this happened, man, I just don't know why everybody

352
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: feels like this is some huge gut punch that we

353
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: couldn't have anticipated.

354
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: What you don't have to be shocked by is the

355
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: best pregame show every weekend. To be sure to tune

Speaker 3: MGM every Saturday and Sunday morning right here on Fox

362
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. It is the most

363
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 3: predictable thing in the world, Fitsie, and while I agree

364
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: with you, it makes total sense, even though it will

365
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 3: drive a fan base insane. This is totally new to

366
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 3: college college athletics. There was a world in which you

367
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: wish the fault is really the hands of the nc

368
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: double A. Shocking to nobody that the NCAA continues to

369
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 3: be wildly inept at the sports that they try to

370
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 3: govern and fail to govern successfully. When this legislation passed

371
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: that allowed athletes in the college world to benefit financially

372
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: off their name, image and likeness, somebody had to have

373
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: foreseen a scenario coming down like this. Instead intead of

374
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: just letting us enter what has been now going on

375
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: a five year quote unquote exploratory period where there is

376
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: money being thrown around everywhere. There is backdoor dealings being

377
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: done at the surface now blatant for everybody to see.

378
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: There are bidding wars, there are enticements, there are all

379
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 3: different levels of things that used to be completely in

380
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: totally taboo in the world of college sports, and now

381
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: it's the common marketplace, except there's no guardrails. The idea

382
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 3: that the NCAA would be so inept in not being

383
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 3: able to be proactive in the governance of situations like this.

384
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: Specifically, it was handled.

385
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 3: Poorly by the player and the reason that it's ending

386
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 3: with the program that is Willick, that has handled a

387
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: lot of the name, image and likeness stuff very well

388
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 3: and been on the forefront of a lot of the

389
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: legislation that has allowed the process to move forward in

390
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: a positive direction for both these universities and these student athletes.

391
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: Tennessee decides to put its foot down because Niko yamali

392
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: aavas got a dad on Twitter and he wants to

393
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 3: tweet calling reporters profanity because they are reporting accurate things

394
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 3: while they are actively shopping a quarterback to other college

395
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: football programs. And the reason that Josh Heipel, the coach

396
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: of Tennessee, finds out that his quarterback is being shopped

397
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: is because the Oregon coach, Dan Lanning tells him so. Apparently,

398
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: according to the reporting that's going around on this, USC

399
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: is now not interested in Niko Iamaliaba We're about to

400
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 3: see an entirely different marketplace for a quarterback that, under

401
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 3: normal circumstances would have benefited from taking the leverage that

402
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 3: he has based on the position that he plays, not

403
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 3: necessarily his production because he was pedestrian last year and

404
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: in an SEC that offers a lot of high level

405
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 3: athletes and a lot of high level quarterbacks, he's not

406
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 3: worth a pay raise, but his position is. The value

407
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 3: of his position is just the same way that we

408
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: talk about it in the NFL level. But the NFL

409
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: has the guardrails to prevent against situations like this. They

410
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 3: have a collective bargaining agreement, have unions, they have contracts,

411
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: they have all these different things that would pretend that

412
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: would prevent an outright catastrophe. Is what has taken place

413
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: between Nico Yamalaiava and the University of Tennessee.

414
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: The hardest part of all of this is did somebody

415
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: reach out to him? We don't know in advance. Was

416
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: he getting some four million dollar numbers from places? Right? Like?

417
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: I just covered the final four and I was talking

418
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: to one person that knows a prominent college basketball program well,

419
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: and he said flat out that there was somebody transferring

420
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: from a school that averaged six points a year last

421
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: year six points a game, I should say last year,

422
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: and he was turning down one point five million dollars

423
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: a year for six point He was turning down one

424
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: point five because he thought there was more for him

425
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 1: out there. So, like it just there is so much

426
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: money to be had by some of these guys. Where

427
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: it gets really interesting is trying to figure out, Okay,

428
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: if Nico lands anywhere, then you got to think that

429
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: he's going to be just fine, right, Like he doesn't

430
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: want to take a pake cup, But if he lands

431
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: anywhere that takes care of him, then he's made the

432
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: money he wanted to make. If he doesn't land anywhere, man,

433
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: I just I gotta feel like then he's going to

434
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: hire a team of lawyers and they're going to have

435
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: real conversation about collusion. Like this is for every college

436
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: football I'll say this. I think that there's a very

437
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: real thing that has to happen that solves all of this,

438
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's simple, Well, let's get everybody caught up

439
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: on what's going on. Let's get everybody caught up on

440
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: the scores and the trending right now, and coming up.

441
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: There's a very simple solution that is the inevitable fix

442
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: for college football. We'll do that, but first let's get

443
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: you caught up on the scores and highlights of the world.

444
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 5: Let's start with Major League Baseball. The White Sox were

445
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 5: three and ten, but got a home win over Boston

446
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 5: three to two. Also, it was a three and ten

447
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 5: record for the Atlanta. Braves got a win at Tampa

448
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 5: Bay five to four. At Sacramento the A's and their

449
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 5: home games had been one and six, but did get

450
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 5: a home win against the Mets today three to one,

451
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 5: Yankees eight to four over the Giants. Phillies won four

452
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 5: to one at Saint Louis. Among the four games in progress,

453
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 5: the Angels lead for nothing, Houston bottom of the fifth.

454
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 5: Houston yet to get a hit. The NBA is off

455
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 5: the regular season end Sunday. That includes Clippers at Golden

456
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 5: State Tomorrow. Denver will be at Houston. Anthony Edwards of

457
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 5: Minnesota will be playing Sunday. He'd picked up his eighteenth

458
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 5: technical foul of the season Friday, which would normally mean

459
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 5: a one game suspension for the Sunday finale at has

460
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 5: been rescinded. He will play tomorrow. Minnesota can finish as

461
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 5: high as fourth in the West with a win, but

462
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: as low as eighth with a loss Sunday against Utah.

463
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 5: The NBA Play In Tournament starts Tuesday. Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell

464
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 5: will miss a fourth straight game with a sprained ankle.

481
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason fitz Buckevis Fits on Fox

482
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Saturday night. Look, Buck, everybody has a cute

483
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: solution and the number of people that anytime we talk

484
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: about college football will then tweet in, here's what they

485
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: got to do this. This is so simple and kind

486
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: of like White Lotus. I don't know if you got

487
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: into White Lotus, but everybody had a million conspiracy theories

488
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: and I was the one person that sat there the

489
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: entire time saying, guys, I don't think the show's as

490
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: creative as you are. Like everybody's trying to find a

491
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: million well, oh you know, the mom's actually behind the drugs,

492
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: and like everybody had these stupid conspiracy theories they wasted

493
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: all this time on, and it turns out the show

494
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: was a lot simpler than anybody thought it would spoiler alert, Okay,

495
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: that's life to me. I think most people sit around

496
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: and try to figure out a thousand ways to make

497
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: simple things complicated, and that's what they're doing. With college sports.

498
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: There are very simple facts here. Every single time the

499
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: NCAA gets challenged with any of the amateurism rules in court,

500
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: they lose because it is unconstitutional in every possible way

501
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: to try and throttle back a kid's opportunity to make money.

502
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: It's simply illegal. Like I'm not even talking about what

503
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: people think should happen. It's illegal. And every single time

504
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: it goes to court, the judges sit there and say,

505
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing, which is why the

506
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: only real solution to this, as the NCAA sits in

507
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: the losing end of a two point eight billion dollar

508
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: settlement of a lawsuit about revenue sharing, like, the only

509
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: real solution is unionization of college football players and a

510
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: collective bargaining agreement. And that's that's inevitable because this is

511
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: the great Now you've looked at it and said, oh

512
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: my god, like the movie Ants where they all figure

513
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: out that if they work together they can take people down.

514
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: Nico coming out and saying I want more money, man.

515
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: All that does is that that reminds everybody, wait a minute,

516
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: I can do the same thing. They can't stop me

517
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: from doing that, and that's gonna happen. Over and over

518
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: and over again, and when teams are in a national

519
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: championship window, they're gonna have to make tough decisions about

520
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: how to move on with the player, what to do

521
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: with these players. And as much as everybody says, well,

522
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, just another team's not gonna want them, yeah

523
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: they are. People want to win football games. At the

524
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: end of the day, people want to win football games.

525
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: So as much as this is the moment where people

526
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: come in and say, well you should do you know,

527
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: these limited deals and all of these sort of earnings anything,

528
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: any written agreement that tries to stop a player from

529
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: making as much money as he can that isn't just

530
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: a normal contract has been challenged in court and they've lost.

531
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: So like college football fans, it's simple, you should be

532
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: rooting for just speed this whole process up. Let everybody unionize,

533
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: Let the teams, the college football teams, become their own

534
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: collective group and then start a collective bargaining association that

535
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: gives us a long term work contract, just like every

536
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: other sport has.

537
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 3: FITZI, you're right, but you know damn well that college

538
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: football fans are insane about this because we have now

539
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 3: corporatized college football the last great bastion of sports tradition

540
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: and passion and honor and loyalty and all these different things,

541
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 3: and we've stripped it down to the studs and made

542
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: it about everything else that we do in sports, which is.

543
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: About the money, the idea.

544
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: College football fans are struggling with this, and it is

545
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 3: so because it's not a revolutionary concept. Right again, to

546
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: your point, the solution is simple, but it is not

547
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 3: a simple thought for college football fans to process when

548
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 3: you have taken everything from and turned it on its

549
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: head in the span of four years, which is a

550
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 3: crazy short amount of time, especially every year since the

551
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 3: nil stuff passed in the Supreme Court, it has been

552
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: one giant story after another in the world of collegiate

553
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 3: athletics that has one of the most passionate fan bases

554
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 3: anywhere in sports, completely lost for words and looking at

555
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: their favorite sports and describing them as unrecognizable. I understand

556
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: that we are heading in this direction. It is the

557
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: absolute correct direction to head. You have to protect these

558
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 3: players from themselves to a degree. You have to protect

559
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: players and their families and the people who are giving

560
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 3: giving advice on how to handle these situations. When in

561
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: the case of Nicomalia, Iamaliava and Tennessee. That we're talking

562
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 3: about here tonight is Tennessee parts ways with their quarterback

563
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: that took them to the College Football Playoff last year.

564
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: You have to find ways to make sure that there

565
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: are protections in place for the university, for the programs,

566
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 3: for the programs at a lower level that are getting poached.

567
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: We talked about last weekend when we did this show,

568
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 3: the idea of nil buyouts for programs who are getting

569
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: poached at a lower level to try and equalize or

570
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: stabilize some of the losses that they're taking instead of

571
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: them just being feeder programs for places like Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama,

572
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 3: and otherwise.

573
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: It is such a.

574
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: Difficult thing for college sports fans and college football fans

575
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 3: in particular.

576
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: And no less the sec where it is tribal.

577
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: You know this, I know this. The rest of the

578
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: country knows this. You've got Josh Hipel messaging today after

579
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: the spring game for Tennessee that no one is bigger

580
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 3: than the program. The program has been around for a

581
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: long time. He goes on at some length that's going

582
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: to be around a long time after I'm gone, and

583
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: after they're gone.

584
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I guess, but not.

585
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 3: In the same senses has always been and that is

586
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: a really hard concept for people to come to terms with.

587
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry college football fans, college sports

588
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: fans of which I am one, and I love, like

589
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: it's my favorite sport to cover. I love covering college

590
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: sports in general. But you're not special like this is

591
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: a problem. Look, at some point, every single industry deals,

592
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: especially in the modern climate, with an awakening where you

593
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: wake up when and look, I lived through in the

594
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: music business. I was in the music business living on

595
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: tour buses when streaming started, and everybody sat there and said,

596
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: oh no, now people are still gonna want to buy CDs, right, Like,

597
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fine. I know, for anyone that doesn't

598
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: understand the economics, if you wrote a number one song

599
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: in country music, you know ten years ago you made

600
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: a million dollars for being the songwriter on it. Now,

601
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: if you're right, I've got a friend that just wrote

602
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: a number one song and he made twelve thousand dollars.

603
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: Like we went from a million to twelve thousand. That's

604
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: not made up numbers. Those are real numbers. Look at

605
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: the movie business, like we spent forever saying, oh, movies

606
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: will always do great in the theaters. Now who the

607
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: hell like, who goes to the movies anymore? I mean,

608
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: this is just the natural sort of if you were

609
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: an actor, and you know, a good friend of mine

610
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: was on several TV shows that were successful, and he joked,

611
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, we thought thirty years ago, if you landed

612
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: on a TV show, you thought that person was set

613
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: for life. You thought that person had made everything. And

614
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: now you can be on a hit TV show and

615
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: you're still out here doing uber eats on a weekend

616
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: because you didn't make enough money on your TV show

617
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: to actually make it. You didn't make enough money to sustain.

618
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: The world is changing the way everybody gets paid and

619
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: the way we consume everything. So I would say to

620
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: every college football fan that's sitting here saying boo ooh,

621
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: I would say, Okay, where were you when the music

622
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: business changed and nobody made any money? You said, you know, what,

623
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: deal with it? I want my free music when the

624
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: music When the movie business turned around and went to

625
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: a streaming platform that doesn't allow guys to get paid

626
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: all over the place and actors went on strike, people

627
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: sat here and said, oh man, Prima Donna, actors everywhere

628
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: want to get paid. Why is it now we're sitting

629
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: here in college sports fans are saying, well, not us, dude.

630
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: It happens to everybody right now. So your sport is changing.

631
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Guess what. You can either grow up and go with it,

632
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: or you could just sit there and watch YouTube videos

633
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: of your sport in the eighties and tell everybody how

634
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: great it used to be. Like, you've got to modernize

635
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: with the times or the sport will leave you. And

636
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: the sport's okay leaving you because they got to make

637
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: their money.

638
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you don't have to let it get it

639
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 3: out of control, which is why I like the decision

640
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: by Nico to try and leverage his situation. I think

641
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 3: he handled it terribly. I think his family handled it

642
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 3: terribly around him. I think they put him in an

643
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: untenable situation. I love what Tennessee did too. They put

644
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 3: their foot down.

645
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: I love it.

646
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't they If the NCAA and the powers

647
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 3: that be that have allowed these situations to kind of

648
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 3: turn into total insanity aren't going to legislate and govern

649
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 3: the way that they need to, then Tennessee being the

650
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: first into the breach to put their foot down and

651
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: be like, we're not going to gave this time. We're

652
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: not going to play this game. That sets a different

653
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: kind of a precedent because now in the case, in

654
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: specifically Nico's case, and again, this is why it's going

655
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: to bring about change. It's going to bring about the

656
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: change that ALTI benefits college sports fans from not having

657
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: to go through another situation like this. I mean, every

658
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: six months, they can do this. It doesn't have to be.

659
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 3: It's not even a yearly contract. It's not two year contract.

660
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 3: I mean they could jump into the portal after spring practice.

661
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: You go through a spring practice, you think you have

662
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 3: your roster set. Not so fast, my friend, your quarterback,

663
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: your starting quarterback, is in the transfer portal. So it

664
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: is going to take something like this to bring about

665
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 3: the kind of change that we're talking about. Tennessee is

666
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 3: a particularly polarizing place because it's one of the most

667
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 3: toxic fan bases anywhere in sports, no matter what level

668
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: of sport that you talk about.

669
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 2: They're circling the wagons.

670
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: The university is not backing down in this situation, and

671
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: ultimately fitsy the thing that you worry most about, or

672
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: that people should worry most about, is that the kid

673
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: is the one who's ultimately harmed here. And yeah, maybe

674
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: he did not handle this in the most professional way.

675
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: Maybe he should have gotten back to his coaching staff

676
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 3: before he's decided to not show up for a practice.

677
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: Maybe he shouldn't have let his dad get on Twitter

678
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 3: and called the reporter who had accurate reporting on this

679
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: from the beat, Nakos of on three Sport, the B word,

680
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: the terrible B word. But you know what I'm saying,

681
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: like to go out there and make themselves look like

682
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: fools and kind of drag Nico's name through the mud.

683
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: He may he's gonna make money.

684
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: Somebody's going to offer him the opportunity to play college

685
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: football for a reasonable sum of money, whether or not

686
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 3: he's making as much as he's currently making or was

687
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: making at Tennessee. FITZI is what I'm most curious about,

688
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 3: because he doesn't have to get a raise out of

689
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 3: this just because he's a quarterback. And I think you're

690
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: gonna see universities athletic directors and coaches start to flex

691
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: their muscle a little bit because Tennessee did it First, be.

699
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: the way he handled it. And guess what, I have

700
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: no problem with Tennessee and the way they handled it.

701

702

Speaker 1: in place and say we got it right. But there's

703
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: one thing that could absolutely change the way we view

00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,400

712
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: Coming at your live from the Tirak dot com studios.

713
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: We've been breaking down the breaking news today as Tennessee

714
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: separates from their starting quarterback to the University of Tennessee

715
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: after a contractual dispute. And it's funny because if you

716
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: were listening to earlier, Buck and I both said, look,

717
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: I understand where Nico's coming from. I understand where Tennessee

718
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: is coming from. I frankly, I have no problem with

719
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: either side's actions. I do think in these situations you

720
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: could probably handle it better. I think that's probab a

721
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: fair point. But Buck, if we're talking about just the

722
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: basic principle of I'm a player and I want to

723
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: make more money, I got no problem with that. And

724
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: if I'm a team coming in and saying, you know what,

725
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: no one's bigger than the team, I got no problem

726
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: with that. And I know that today everyone's gonna take sides.

727
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: I would just remind you that there is one outcome

728
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: here that absolutely will change everything. Because it's easy right

729
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: now for Tennessee fans to basically say Scrutinico, like I

730
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: want nothing to do with him, he's a bomb, all

731
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: the things that fans are gonna say. Tennessee turns around

732
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: struggles at the quarterback position this year, wins five games

733
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, has just a just a terrible year.

734
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: And let's just say that Nico does land on his

735
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: feet somewhere else. Let's say that, you know, a school

736
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: we're not thinking of, let's just out of the blue,

737
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: not looking at their depth chart, don't at me. Let's

738
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: just say a school like Notre Dame turns around and

739
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman's like, you know what, we want to bring

740
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: more competition into the room. We'll pay him, we'll come in,

741
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: and then he wins a bunch of games and goes

742
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: to the college football playoff somewhere else. Like it's so

743
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: easy to day for fans to say, you know, screw

744
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: that guy, We've got it right. I don't even care.

745
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: I was just cautioning everybody to maybe wait to talk

746
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: your trash until you see how all of this plays out.

747
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Because if Nico doesn't land anywhere and Tennessee goes on

748
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: in Wincinnati, then great, you were one thousand percent right.

749
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: But boy, if this season goes off the rails, and

750
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, Tennessee boosters are looking around saying,

751
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: we let one point four million dollars, that's the difference

752
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: right now. Reportedly we let one point four million dollars.

753
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: Be the reason our season just got absolutely tinkled away,

754
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: like anybody want that, right, So I just think we

755
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: need to remember that there is an outcome here that

756
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: will staggeringly change everybody's opinion on what's happening today.

757
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 3: Don't you tell me how to fan? I got a

758
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 3: Valls pull over today. On to go Valls, baby, that's

759
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: all we know.

760
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: They don't. If you're not with us, you're.

761
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 3: Against us, as if I went to the University of Tennessee.

762
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, I mean you went to Indiana, so

763
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm.

764
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 3: Fine, But I live in Tennessee, and Indiana until recently

765
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 3: didn't have a football program that I gave a damn about.

766
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 3: I Uz it's so petty down here, Like the internet

767
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: is filled with freezing cold takes material. I have local

768
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 3: news anchors in the Nashville area driving the Chick fil

769
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 3: A just to get up a packet, just to pick

770
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: up a packet of Polynesian sauce and throw it in

771
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 3: the trash. Hashtag vfl eat it, Nico, Like that's the

772
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 3: kind of that's the degree it Also, sauce right way

773
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: also feels a little it feels a little insensitive. You know,

774
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: we're not gonna go to the details on that, but

775
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 3: you understand what I'm saying, Like it's just it's insane

776
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 3: down here. But to your point, it is going to

777
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: make so many people look so bad if he goes

778
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 3: somewhere else and he plays well. And Tennessee who looked

779
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: to be building and was, you know, excited about the

780
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 3: upcoming season, and yeah, there's some turnover on the offensive line,

781
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: and yeah, we've got, you know, some questions to answer

782
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: because we're losing James Pearce to the NFL Draft on defense.

783
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: But we've got the quarterback, we got the five star,

784
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: we've got the thing that's going to take us to

785
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 3: the Promised Land. Yeah, we got blown out by Ohio

786
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 3: State and it wasn't even closer. We took our shirts

787
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 3: off in the pregame and uh and Will Howard called

788
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 3: a bunch of fing clowns with John Gruden here recently

789
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 3: on barstool, like all of these things, right, but you

790
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: had the quarterback until you go to the spring game

791
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: and you find out now he said the transfer portal

792
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 3: because he wants more money. It is one of the

793
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: most impactful things that one of the most impactful stories

794
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 3: we'll ever see in college sports full stop, because it's

795
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 3: the first of its kind, and that's what makes it

796
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 3: so fascinating because there's a million different ways that this

797
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: could go and we're just at the precipice of this.

798
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: This is only the initial shockwave.

799
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm waiting to see what happens when other players

800
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: turn around, because look, when you're declaring for the draft,

801
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: part of what you're deciding, I think in modern football

802
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: times is you going into the NFL. Are you going

803
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: to try and make more out of this? And I

804
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: will remind everybody that as of today, if your NICO,

805
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: you don't know what your NFL future looks like, but

806
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: you know certainly. I mean, look at Dylan Gabriel, like

807
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have an NFL future, but boy did he maximize

808
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: his college football earning potential to make sure that he

809
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: is set for the rest of his life. And that's

810
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: part of this. How it will play for players and

811
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: what it means for teams and all of this. Just

812
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: remember fans of fanatics, players are just looking out for

813
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: their business. One player in the NFL not worried about

814
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: his business, even though he should be. We'll break it

815
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: down next on Fox Sports Radio.

816
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 3: We've all gone through a bad breakup, and a lot

817
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: of times it happens with our favorite sports teams. But

818
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 3: the one thing that you've got to remember, you just

819
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: can't take these things personally. Welcome back to Fox Sports Saturday.

820
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 3: He's Jason fitz I'm Buck Rising.

821
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: Except anyone ever actually take Does anyone ever take that advice?

822
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: Like telling somebody not to take it personally is like telling,

823
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: you know, the woman in your life just to calm down,

824
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: Like that's just the landing odds on that are not good.

825
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 3: Go ahead, It's just you know, it's you got to

826
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: understand it's professional criticism, not personal criticism.

827
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it, baby, Everything's going to be fine.

828
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 3: But that's what's going on with Justin Fields, the Pittsburgh

829
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: Steelers and the love triangle that now involves the New

830
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 3: York Jets their new quarterback, and he was speaking about

831
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 3: how it felt to be spurned by the Steelers in

832
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 3: free agency after they benched him for Russell Wilson. Then

833
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 3: went on to make the postseason but lose five straight games.

834
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 3: Fitzi in Pittsburgh to end their season with Russell Wilson

835
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 3: at the helm after Justin Fields had managed the situation

836
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 3: pretty well.

837
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: Six starts in Pittsburgh.

838
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: Four and two spoke this week for the Jets or

839
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 3: as a Jets quarterback after signing with them in free agency,

840
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: and he you know, it's one of those things that

841
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 3: you just got to keep repeating to yourself.

842
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 2: You've got to manifest it.

843
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 3: You can't take things personal and factively we have Justin

844
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 3: Fields speaking at his press conference earlier this week.

845
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 7: Jason, what if the Jets take a quarterback here, whether

846
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 7: it's seven's second round, whatever, how do you feel about

847
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 7: the possibility of a young guy who might you know,

848
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 7: you might have to mentor or could be like nipping

849
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 7: at your heels.

850
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 4: I don't really like to answer rhetorical questions, but like

851
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 4: I said, I'm willing to teach, but yeah, I don't I'm.

852
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: Not really interested. And you know, rhetorical questions, M I

853
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: think you meant hypothetical questions.

854
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I do think so It's okay. At least things happen.

855
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 3: As as people who speaking of microphones on a regular

856
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: basis and make kind of all kind of on godly mistakes.

857
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 3: I don't think we can criticize them, but I get

858
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 3: you know, I get your point.

859
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not sure. When you are the quarterback of

860
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: the Jets, you have the I don't know, glory of

861
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: not having to answer hypothetical questions like this is part

862
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: of what makes New York different. Like you covered the

863
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: Titans down in Nashville, I've certainly been around that team

864
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: a lot. I've been around some other teams. I've seen

865
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: the way my beloved Raiders are covered. I think we

866
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: can all admit that certain certain media groups are tougher

867
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: than other media groups, right and super to certain media

868
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: groups come with a different level of aggression and hyper attention.

869
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: That's New York. So if you don't want to answer

870
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: hypotheticals or rhetorical questions, New York's probably not the best

871
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: place for you, because I don't think you can tell

872
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: guys not to ask things. But buckle, let's start here.

873
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: It's smart strategy because you and I have done enough

874
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 1: shows getting ready for the draft to be honest about

875
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: the fact that I think there are a lot of

876
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: question marks with the quarterbacks in this year's draft class,

877
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: and so the overwhelming narrative has become the quarterback suck.

878
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right tone. I think the

879
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: right tone for this quarterback class is this quarterback class

880
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: needs time to develop in the right situation. So if

881
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: you tell me that the Jets in the second round

882
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: take a quarterback, I think that's pretty smart. If any

883
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: of the teams that we've talked about, the Giants, the Browns,

884
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Raiders, any of the teams that are

885
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: quarterback thirsty take a quarterback in the second round, that's

886
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: just a smart use of the equity to get somebody

887
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: that you're gonna develop, right, So I think it'd be

888
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: smart for Justin Fields to at least be aware. I mean,

889
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: what he's not. He's had a two year deal, right,

890
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: so there's not a long term commitment to him they

891
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: can't get out of which means the chances are going. Yeah,

892
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: so there's a good chance that somebody's going to be

893
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: brought in, and as a result of being brought in,

894
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to compete.

895
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 3: What was your reaction when the Falcons drafted Michael Pennox

896
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 3: last year with the eighth overall pick.

897
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: Shock and huh. I think everybody was shocked and thought

898
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: it was just the dumbest thing in the world and

899
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: turned out not to be. But I mean they shock.

900
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: Have never been more vindicated than when Kirk Cousins got

901
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 3: injured and then started to struggle and then sat the

902
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 3: bench and they had the ability.

903
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: And I know he's a rookie and he's got some

904
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: more developing to do.

905
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 3: Michael PENNOCKX, although he was regarded by scouts and a

906
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 3: lot of coaches in the NFL as one of the

907
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 3: most pro ready, if not the most pro ready prospect

908
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 3: to come out in last year's classes, because he played

909
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 3: so much football to that point in time, there is

910
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with hedging your bets at the most important

911
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 3: position in sports. And that's I think what justin Fields

912
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 3: and you know here locally, when Malik Willis was drafted

913
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: to sit behind Ryan Tannehill and a whole mentor gate

914
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 3: thing broke out. Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson, There's been

915
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: a million different examples of this, time after time after

916
00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 3: time after time.

917
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: And yes, who are the incumbent.

918
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks and the likely starters in their situation as Fields

919
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: is most likely to be the starter in his situation

920
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 3: based on the compensation that he's receiving. It doesn't mean

921
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 3: that it's forever just because you're there now doesn't mean

922
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 3: that that you get to stop earning it. And I

923
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: think that the competitors understand this at the highest levels,

924
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 3: and if they don't, then they lose their jobs. In

925
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 3: the life cycle of the NFL continues to turn through

926
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 3: that position.

927
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 2: But as an organization, no.

928
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: I almost think that Jets have to draft a quarterback

929
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 3: this year no matter what justin field situation. Justin Field's

930
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: feelings in this circumstance do not matter. It is what

931
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 3: is best for the sustainability and longevity and viability of

932
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 3: your franchise as New York, as Minnesota, as Green Bay.

933
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 3: When they did it to Rogers and when they did

934
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 3: it to farm and all these different things, it is

935
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 3: exactly what New York should do given that. I mean,

936
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 3: they've got a different needs. They need offensive line help,

937
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 3: they need wide receiver help, they need pieces and parts

938
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 3: on defense just to kind of get that unit back

939
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 3: a float after Robert Solo was fired and then it

940
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 3: went just tumbling.

941
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 2: But they have to have a backup plan.

942
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 3: Your backup quarterback is going to play sixty plus of

943
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 3: them almost on an annual basis. Start games now in

944
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 3: the NFL, your backup quarterback is probably going to start

945
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 3: a game, if not multiple, and so to prepare yourself

946
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 3: for whatever situation.

947
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 2: May come up.

948
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 3: If Justin Fields gets out there and he's a seventeen

949
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 3: game starter, great, If Justin Fields gets out there and

950
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 3: he gets hurt, who.

951
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: You're gonna go to?

952
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 3: You're gonna throw another season in New York in the toilet.

953
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure they'd love that. There's so many different reasons

954
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 3: why it makes sense, even though it may not be

955
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 3: in the best interest of the individual player who's speaking

956
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 3: about it. And I think they get that too.

957
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: It's a copy yet league too, right, Like, so you

958
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: see what works somewhere and it opens your mind to

959
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, changing some things. And that's why I've been

960
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 1: saying for almost a day at this point, I don't

961
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: think we should look at the amount of money being

962
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: spent on a starting quarterback as a solo number. I

963
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: think you should look at the position value. Okay, so

964
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: how much money are we spending on the quarterback overall?

965
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: And when you apply that standard to it, and you

966
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 1: look at it and say, well, a second round pick

967
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: is so little money, we add that to what we're

968
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: paying at the position. I don't think it's an accident.

969
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: Book that you know, let's face the Justin Fields has

970
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: a pretty easy contract to get out of. Not much

971
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: that you have to swallow out of that thing. Miss

972
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold has a pretty easy contract to get out of.

973
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: Gino Smith has a pretty easy contract to get out of.

974
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco signed by the Browns. Not really in a

975
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: situation where show you by Flaco love it. I almost

976
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: still have a Flacco jersey.

977
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 4: I know I don't have a Flaco j I was

978
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 4: actually at its first game. Remember when you guys told

979
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 4: me I have to go to the Browns game And

980
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 4: I ended up going to it. And that was Joe

981
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 4: Flacco's first game at they were playing the Rams, and

982
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 4: was that so far? And I saw that beautiful masterpiece

983
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 4: happen unfold in front of me, the touchdown to Ford,

984
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it was. It was beautiful.

985
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: Notice here he said, we had to tell him because

986
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: the fellas Anthony Gargano and I on Saturday Mornings. Shae

987
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: was producing at the time, and Shae lifelong diehard Browns fan.

988
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: The Browns were playing in LA to take on the Rams,

989
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: and Shaye was going to sleep through the King wasn't

00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 4: off at seven am. There was no sleeping. It was

993
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 4: going straight to the to the stadium.

994
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 6: Right.

995
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 2: He's very defensive.

996
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: He was gonna, he said, he was going to crawl

997
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: in bed and watch it in bed. All right? Like,

998
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: can you if you are a die hard fan of

999
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: a team, can you get in your favorite flannel pj's

1000
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: and watch your favorite team while you're taking an app?

1001
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. We simply encourage. And then he said, well,

1002
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: I can't find anybody to go with me, and we're

1003
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: like the.

1004
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: Browns the Masters, the Masters is what he was starting.

1005
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: The Browns rams game into.

1006
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 4: I ended up buying a ticket for my friend just

1007
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 4: so I could go. You see, that's how much of

1008
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 4: a Browns fan I am. He wasn't gonna go watch

1009
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 4: the Browns. You always into it, but you know a

1010
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,720
Speaker 4: little bit, you know, it was the overnight. I was tired.

1011
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 4: I wasn't thinking straight. If I was right now, i'd

1012
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 4: be there.

1013
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 3: That's it's just some some hr person needs to come

1014
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 3: and get after fits for bullying you into buying you

1015
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 3: and your buddy.

1016
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: I take it to a Browns, And it would be

1017
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: ironic as hell if if HR finally came at me

1018
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: somewhere I worked for, you know, bullying Shay on the brea,

1019
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: like if that's the thing. It's not the it's not

1020
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: the fifteen minute hugs that I give a buck rising.

1021
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 3: It's the deeply uncomfortable and it's it's unfortunate because he's

1022
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 3: so much shorter than meche so he just kind of fits, right,

1023
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 3: it's so.

1024
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 1: Much what do you make it sound like? You're six four? Okay?

1025
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: What are you like? Six one? What are you like?

1026
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 2: You're six to buddy?

1027
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 3: And that hair generously makes you like five seven, five eight.

1028
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: Five nine and a quarter? Thank you? All right?

1029
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 3: No, I used to be if you are using fractions,

1030
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 3: nobody believes your height.

1031
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 2: Let me tell you that right now.

1032
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: No, no, no.

1033
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 3: Using fractions to justify yourself.

1034
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 2: My friend, you are five eight, sir.

1035
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: This is where you haven't gotten old yet, because I

1036
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: was five nine and a half and then I went

1037
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: in one day and I was five nine and a

1038
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: quarter and that's when I realized I'm now at the

1039
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: age where I'm shrinking. Okay, so now it becomes more

1040
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: important than ever that I actually back up with the

1041
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm sneaking. I am I'm taller than

1042
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: people give me credit for. I'm just a small free

1043
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: youman be.

1044
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 2: Were you wear shoes with a lot of patter. I'm

1045
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 2: wise to your game.

1046
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: Sound like I'm coming up to you or something.

1047
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, old and shrinking and it doesn't like the

1048
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: masters come down ladies, the.

1049
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Okay. So I'm just saying that if

1050
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: you to get us back to somehow quarterback in the

1051
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: unif speaking of old Joe Flacco, uh Now, I think

1052
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: that there is this moment for justin fields where he

1053
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: may not want to answer these questions. But all of

1054
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: the teams that are picking at the top of the

1055
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: draft this year, at the top of the first round,

1056
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: have somebody in the room that has had respect or

1057
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: gained respect for their way of approaching the quarterback position.

1058
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: In fact, I'd make the argument that almost every quarterback

1059
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: needy team this year has somebody you can say, okay,

1060
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: like whether or not I believe in Brian Callahan, and

1061
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: he's simply he's He got his job in part because

1062
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: of his work with Burrow Right and Brian Dabele got

1063
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 1: his job because of his work with Josh Allen. Right,

1064
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: we can understand that Stefanski is presumed to be one

1065
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: of the smarter offensive minds in the NFL. Everybody loves

1066
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: him for a reason, right, Like Pete Carroll has done

1067
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: it multiple times.

1068
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: He's a two time Coach of the Year and not

1069
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 2: so dispressive.

1070
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: Right, No, No, that's why I said like that. That

1071
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: was just doing that with throwing the accolades out quite disrespectful. Well,

1072
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: so even if you get down to Kellen Moore, like

1073
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is supposed to be a quarterback whisperer, So

1074
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, you go up and down the list and

1075
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 1: I see a lot of teams that have at least

1076
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: hired somebody that they presume can develop a quarterback. So

1077
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: it becomes more intelligent than ever to me that these

1078
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: teams are going to look at that position and they're

1079
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: going to figure out how to draft it. By the way,

1080
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: you should figure out how to stream this show and

Speaker 1: top of your screen. We just mentioned a bunch of

1092
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: teams that need a quarterback, but one of the teams

1093
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: that needs a quarterback the most might actually be stuck

1094
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: on Draft night and it could change the way their

1095
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: entire franchise looks for the next five years. We'll tell

1096
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: you about it next. He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz.

1097
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: It's Bucking Fits. On a Fox Sports Saturday. He's Buck Rising.

1098
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 1: I'm Jason Fitz. It's Bucking Fits. Coming into live from

1099
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 1: the tyrack dot Com studios. In honor of the piano

1100
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: and the masters. I feel like we should speak with

1101
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: the level of I don't know properties that I don't

1102
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: usually have a proper even a word. I don't even know.

1103
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 3: I don't know that you made fun of Jim Nance

1104
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: on the broadcast. Then you couldn't even get through thirty

1105
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 3: seconds of your own master's impression.

1106
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: Terrible job by you.

1107
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: No, I'm not. Look, there's a reason I don't do impressions,

1108
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: and there's a reason I don't watch and golf like

1109
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: the sport art puts me to sleep. I don't need

1110
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: Nance helping me along the way like it's great. I

1111
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: need the soothing voice of Jim Nantz to make sure

1112
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: that it turns into a couch nap for an hour.

1113
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 3: Leave Jim Nance out of this. He did nothing to you.

1114
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 3: If you have an issue with golf.

1115
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 2: Fine you leave Jim alone.

1116
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying like that. It doesn't help, Okay,

1117
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I don't need the sweet suit like give

1118
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: me Axel Rose like Prime Axl Rose commentating on it

1119
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe then I'm in on it, like I

1120
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: don't know. Or give me drunk history. If you turn

1121
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: drunk history into the way that they actually commentated on

1122
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: the Masters, now I'm in. Okay. Get a bunch of

1123
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: people like so caned that they can barely sit up

1124
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: there and let them do that thing, then I'm in.

1125
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: All right, that's called the way management open. Where are you?

1126
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 2: Where have you been my entire life? What are you

1127
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 2: talking about?

1128
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Look, I'm I'm not watching the waste management open

1129
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: like there is.

1130
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 4: You got no idea what he's talking about. Sixteen I

1131
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 4: had people throwing beers. Someone ripped their chair out of

1132
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 4: the stadium. Put it on there. You just don't know.

1133
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: I know.

1134
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,439
Speaker 2: We had somebody peeing the creek at the Masters this year.

1135
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 4: That happens literally, alumni or wait's still going there?

1136
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the waste management Like okay, shoot, you're describing some like, Look,

1137
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch some you know, rich white kid

1138
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: and like rip a chair out and throw it at

1139
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: somebody Like I.

1140
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 3: Just again, see he's not only is he shrinking and

1141
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 3: uh and uh and a short king, he's also old.

1142
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 3: So he's out of his element. We've exposed him a

1143
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 3: little bit here, Shay. We have to get him back

1144
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,959
Speaker 3: on the right track. We have to talk quarterback controversy.

1145
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 3: We've got to get him back going in his.

1146
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: Thank you on behalf of my people on, behalf of

1147
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: my middle aged people. Look, there's the Travelers. Happens right

1148
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: down the road for me too. I never go to

1149
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: that either. Okay, So now that I'm done reminding everybody

1150
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: how useless the golf is, let's get something people actually

1151
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: care about known as football. Okay, so there is a

1152
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: real chance in my mind that one of the most

1153
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: storied and well run franchises in NFL history is absolutely screwed.

1154
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: And I just keep thinking about if you are the

1155
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, who mind you are not picking at a

1156
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: spot in the NFL draft where there's an easy path

1157
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: to a quarterback. Certainly they could take a developmental quarterback

1158
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: and let him sit for a bit and mentor them

1159
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: and hope that they can coach them up. Like that

1160
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: might be their approach. But remember a few years ago

1161
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: in the draft when all of a sudden it was

1162
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: just man, they needed one, and Kenny Pickett was sitting there.

1163
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: So they're like, all right, we need a quarterback and

1164
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: he needs to be drafted, So I guess we'll do

1165
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: this thing. How did that work out? Right? Like, I

1166
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: feel like the Steelers are in the same situation all

1167
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: over again, because we are, as a collective society, just

1168
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: presuming that Aaron Rodgers is gonna decide that he's ready

1169
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: to play for Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's gonna decide that they want

1170
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and it's all gonna be komba yah. But man,

1171
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, Buck, Like, how do we know anything

1172
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: about what Aaron Rodgers is gonna do? Like what do

1173
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: we do if Aaron Rodgers decides to go back in

1174
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: the darkness and doesn't want to play, or if he

1175
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play by Tomlin's rules, or he doesn't

1176
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: want to show up at OTA's and all of these

1177
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: things that we've seen, Like what if he wants to

1178
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: go on a trip to Egypt, like all of these

1179
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: things that we keep talking about with Aaron Rodgers? What

1180
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: if he decides that that's the path he wants to

1181
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: be in. And now the Steelers are sitting here saying,

1182
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: wait a minute, like we knew there was gonna be

1183
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: a game of musical chairs right now. If the beautiful

1184
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: piano has stopped playing, the Steelers have nothing at the quarterback.

1185
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 2: Position, and you know what hurts them even more.

1186
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure you saw the news that was dumped into

1187
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 3: the Friday Ether that Derek Carr somehow has a shoulder

1188
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 3: injury that could require surgery that could keep him out

1189
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 3: of playing for the twenty twenty five season, which FITZI.

1190
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 3: If you're familiar with the NFL draft order, the Saints

1191
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 3: are currently picking ninth, if Shador Sanders makes any kind

1192
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 3: of fall, or Jackson Darter or even Jalen Milroe, who

1193
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if we've talked about, is attending the

1194
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 3: NFL Draft, which is a crazy thing to me.

1195
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 2: We could see.

1196
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a world in which four first

1197
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I really don't think there's a world in

1198
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 3: which four.

1199
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 2: First round quarterbacks go.

1200
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 3: But the fact that he's going to the draft makes

1201
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 3: it very very interesting.

1202
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 2: All that to say, though, for the.

1203
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 3: Steelers' purposes picking at what twenty one at this point

1204
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 3: in time, if Chador falls out of the top five

1205
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 3: six players, makes it past the Raiders at six, who

1206
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 3: just signed Geno to a two year contract extension, and

1207
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 3: New Orleans needs the quarterback situation because Car can't.

1208
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 2: Go, what are the Steelers gonna do?

1209
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: So look, the more I keep hearing now, everybody I

1210
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: talk to you says that there's a real love for

1211
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: like Kellam Moore, the new head coach of the Saints,

1212
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: likes Jackson Dart a lot. I just I wouldn't be

1213
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: surprised if it's Jackson Dart at nine. And I know

1214
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 1: people will say, you can't do it, You can't do well.

1215
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole plan in my mind has been

1216
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: you bring along slowly while Derek Carr does what Derek

1217
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: Carr is gonna do. He's gonna win you enough games

1218
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: to at least keep you somewhat relevant, right like this

1219
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: injury news is You're right, incredibly impactful. And by the way,

1220
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: I was asked this week for Yahoo, my other gig,

1221
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: I was asked what my bold prediction was for the

1222
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. I think four quarterbacks are going in the

1223
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: first round because realistically, if you look at it, Okay,

1224
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: so we know cam Ward's going one to Titan to

1225
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: the Titans. I believe the Saints are going to take

1226
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback at nine. The question is, is that Jackson

1227
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: dart or is that shod Or Sanders. Then you're gonna

1228
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: get into this middle section of the draft. Is somebody

1229
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: there going to Are the Rams going to take a

1230
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: shot on a quarterback? Are the Colts going to go

1231
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: back and take another swing at the quarterback position. Are

1232
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers simply gonna wait and see if Shaduur is

1233
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: there for them and take him at twenty one? Well,

1234
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: now this is where it gets interesting because I agree

1235
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: with everybody the Jalen Milroe is not ready to start

1236
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But the first pick in the second

1237
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: round belongs to Cleveland, right, so Cleveland is gonna have

1238
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: all night to sit there and look at the quarterback

1239
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: that they may want to take if they don't take

1240
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback at two, and I don't believe they will.

1241
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, everybody else the Giants.

1242
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: Let's say the Giants didn't take a quarterback, right, like,

1243
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: go up and down the list of everyone that may

1244
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: have passed on Shadur because they're picking at the top

1245
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: of the second round. Now, all of a sudden, you're

1246
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: in a Lamar Jackson situation. Do you trade up to

1247
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: the bottom of the second in the first round to

1248
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: get ahead of the Browns? Make sure you get Jalen Milroe.

1249
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: By doing so, you get the fifth year on him.

1250
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: And I think everybody would acknowledge from an athletics trade standpoint,

1251
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: he's incredible, but he's not a very good quarterback right now, Okay,

1252
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: but this isn't Anthony Richardson where you're throwing him on

1253
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: the field like you're gonna spend two years developing him.

1254
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: So do you take a Jordan Love approach with Jayleen Milroe.

1255
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: I honestly think the fact that he's going through the

1256
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: draft means somebody in his camp believes that there's going

1257
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: to be a trade up for him. He goes at

1258
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: the bottom of the first round. Four quarterbacks go in

1259
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: the first round.

1260
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 2: You can't calm the quarterback chaos.

1261
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 3: But which you can calm is the chaos with the

00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 3: round of the draft, live right here on Fox Sports Radio,

1273
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 3: brought to you by Shipstation. I think your point is

1274
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 3: well taken, and for me, you know, we can have

1275
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 3: a conversation about this later. I don't want to derail

1276
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 3: the conversation that we're currently having because I know we're

1277
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 3: going to get an update here soon. But in the

1278
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 3: right circumstance, like so many of these quarterbacks in the

1279
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 3: draft are circumstantial that their success is so circumstantial, and

1280
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: that's the that's the case every year, based on geography,

1281
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 3: based on how good a team these kids are actually

1282
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 3: going to. Usually the worst teams in the draft, the

1283
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 3: worst teams in football are picking at the top of

1284
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 3: the draft. Those quarterbacks have a very very slim chance

1285
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 3: for success. And so in a couple of these situations,

1286
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 3: in the right circumstance, I think Melroe could be the

1287
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 3: next version of Jalen Hurts.

1288
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 2: But he's got to end up in the right spot.

1289
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: You just said something wildly important. We'll continue to break

1290
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: it down, but first you're right, we do need to

1291
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: eet an update, Steve, to see you tell us what's

1292
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: going on.

1293
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 2: Well, the NBA is off tonight.

1294
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 5: The regular season ends Sunday, and Minnesota star Anthony Edwards

1295
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 5: will be playing tomorrow. We thought he would be serving

1296
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 5: a one game suspension for the Sunday finale, where that

1297
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 5: tech he was given last night has been rescinded. It

1298
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 5: would have been his eighteenth technical foul of the season.

1299
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 5: The NBA play In Tournament starts Tuesday. Anthony Davis and

1300
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,400

01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 5: be sitting starters at Portland. Boston's Jalen Brown and Jason

1302
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 5: Tatum will be out. Donovan Mitchell of Cleveland will miss

1303
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,960

01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,040

1305
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 5: three to two winner against Buffalo. Currently, Chicago has just

1306
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 5: taken a four to three lead on Winnipeg about five

1307
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 5: minutes to go. Montreal still scoreless in the third at Toronto,

1308

01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 5: a third round sixty six. Scottie Scheffler fell to a

1311
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 5: tie for sixth place, seven shots back. The Tennessee Vaults

1312
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 5: moved on from starting quarterback Nico Iamalayava after he skipped

1313
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 5: practice in an NIL holdout. The transfer portal opens on Wednesday.

1314
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,760

01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:54,040

1338
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: Back to you, he's Buck Rising on Jason fitzbuckin fits

1339
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: on a Fox Sports Saturday, coming at you Live from

1340
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: the tai iraq dot com studios. Situation matters, Like, I

1341
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: think this is what we have to remember, is that

1342
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: your favorite team has to pick the right player, and

1343
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: then your favorite team in the draft, in what two

1344
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: weeks has to then develop the right player. And how

1345
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: often have I said, Buck, like, when you draft a quarterback,

1346
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: I think you have an obligation as an organization to

1347
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: basically I don't all the way down to the janitor,

1348
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: every single person in that building has to have one

1349
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: goal in mind. It's developing a quarterback. And that's why, Like, look,

1350
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: if you're telling me that should door goes second overall

1351
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, it's an abject disaster in my mind. If

1352
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: you're telling me that should or goes later in the

1353
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: draft and whatever of these quarterbacks, should they end up

1354
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: with the Rams where they don't have to start for

1355
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: their rookie year and they can learn and they can

1356
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,919
Speaker 1: learn from McVeigh while they sit back and they watch

1357
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Stafford be the type of quarterback that you can figure

1358
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: out a lot from watching. That kid is going to

1359
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: end up being more successful. And it doesn't mean that

1360
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: that kid's a better quarterback. It just means systems matter,

1361
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: where you land matters. It's why I don't love any

1362
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks to come on the field and immediately

1363
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: turn around a franchise. I love a bunch of these

1364
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks if it's a Jordan Love situation and we're three

1365
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: years in. The thing is like the hard thing for

1366
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: all of us as fans to admit is that when

1367
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: you look in the mirror, more often than not, your

1368
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: favorite team is not likely to be Washington with all

1369
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: new ownership, all new front office, all new everybody that

1370
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 1: supports Jayden Daniels, or Houston with oh my god, we

1371
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: finally hit the lottery. We got the right coach and

1372
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: we got the right quarterbacks. Somehow it all worked out.

1373
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: More likely than not, your favorite team is going to

1374
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: be like the Jacks, all right. Your favorite team is

1375
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: on the same level of suck as Jacksonville is, and

1376
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback they're gonna draft is not as talented as

1377
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. So if the Jacksonville Jaguars managed to just

1378
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: absolutely you know what, all over the career of the

1379
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: can't miss Trevor Lawrence, your favorite team's probably gonna do

1380
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: the same thing to all of these quarterbacks if they

1381
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: step on the field in the first couple of years.

1382
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: It's a systemic problem with organizations more than it is

1383
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: with the players. And that's why I hate that we

1384
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: keep saying these quarterbacks suck. I think these quarterbacks are

1385
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: not as surefire as some of the quarterbacks we've seen.

1386
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: They just need to be in a situation where they're

1387
01:04:57,960 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 1: nurtured a little bit, and I think most bad team

1388
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: don't know how to nurture.

1389
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, not every team is hiring Urban

1390
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 3: Meyer to be jack Trevor Lawrence's first year NFL coach.

1391
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: You know what, Well, but is it any better to

1392
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: get okay?

1393
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 3: So if you're the Giants, let's make sure that we

1394
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 3: clarify that that was a particularly uniquely awful situation that

1395
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence was dropped into.

1396
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 2: Jacksonville did that to him.

1397
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 3: But you know, there were some mitigating circumstances that the

1398
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 3: maid that may have derailed Lawrence from catching faster than

1399
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 3: he that he has. Listen, make no mistake, he's the

1400
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 3: most underperforming UH player I think in professional football relative

1401
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 3: to expectation.

1402
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 2: It's it's been tough.

1403
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 3: For Trevor Lawrence, but you know, I just wanted to

1404
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 3: make sure that we had that qualifier for Trevor's sake.

1405
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Hear me out on this though, if you had to,

1406
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: like right now, and I didn't even ask fans, Giants fans. Okay,

1407
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: there's two ways this goes. Dave Bull drafts a quarterback

1408
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: and develops that quarterback and it turns into such a

1409
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: beautiful relationship that all of a sudden, the fortunes of

1410
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: the franchise change, or or Dable drafts quarterback and we

1411
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: get two thirds of the way through the season, the

1412
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: roster sucks, the team's not very good. They fire the

1413
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 1: coach and then the GM, and then a new GM

1414
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: is gonna come in and bring in a new coach

1415
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: that we'll bringing in a new offensive system that may

1416
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: or may not work, depending on how things are going,

1417
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: because coaching cycles aren't very exact. And then all of

1418
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, you've got in his second year, let's say

1419
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: schadur In this situation is learning his second offense. Now,

1420
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: if the coach isn't great, coach gets a couple of

1421
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: years and then all of a sudden, by the time

1422
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: you hit year four, things haven't really materialized. For Shador,

1423
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: he's on his third set of signal callers of the

1424
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: course of his rookie contract, and he's perceived a bus

1425
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: like you are in Tennessee. What's more likely for a

1426
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: team that one year keeps the coach and the next

1427
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: year keeps the GM. What is more likely cam Ward

1428
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: comes in and saves the Tennessee Titans, which is a glorious,

1429
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: glorious thought, or cam Ward struggles. Callahan gets fired because

1430
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: he wasn't the pick of the current administration that is

1431
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: now running at the new GM. The new GM then

1432
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: gets a stab at another coach. Again, these coaching cycles

1433
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: are very inexact in the hiring, so that coach doesn't

1434
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: work out, he gets fired, Then the GM gets fired,

1435
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: and a new GM gets brought and who brings in

1436
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: a different coach, And cam Ward's in his fourth year

1437
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: to learn in his third offense, and we say Camboard

1438
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: sucks like that's that's real for these like the worst

1439
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: teams are not bad like some of these players. Don't

1440
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: fall apart because the players suck. They fall apart because

1441
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: the entire organization from the very top, I'm looking at you,

1442
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Amy Adams Trunk all the way to the very bottom

1443
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: just don't know what the hell they're doing when it

1444
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: comes to giving any continuity of development.

1445
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 3: I love that you said that with me on the air,

1446
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 3: except it was you saying it, not me, because inevitably,

1447
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 3: I've gotten a million different calls about my criticisms of

1448
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 3: the Titans front office and specifically ownership structure in the

1449
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 3: last three years because it's been a mess. They've been

1450
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 3: one of the worst organizations in football. They're trying to

1451
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 3: rectify that. Whether or not they do doesn't matter because

1452
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 3: to your point, Washington had a total reset at all

1453
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 3: the most important places for that thing to get up

1454
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 3: off the ground. That is such a uniquely, that's such

1455
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 3: a singular situation that happened for them. And you know,

1456
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels is obviously a success, and they constructed the

1457
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 3: roster around him right. But to your point, the success

1458
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 3: rate for these quarterbacks, like we've talked about this in

1459
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 3: some former fashion before, Fitzie one hundred and thirty six

1460
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 3: quarterbacks have been selected in the first round. Sixty two

1461
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 3: of them have won a playoff game. It's forty five percent.

1462
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 3: It's just a hair over forty five percent. And that

1463
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,600
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily make them a success, right just winning a

1464
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 3: playoff game, But it's even rare enough for those guys

1465
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 3: to do that for how often the NFL. I don't

1466
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,719
Speaker 3: want to say the quarterbacks crash out, but the NFL

1467
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 3: crashes them out. And maybe that's just a product of

1468
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 3: how we've created it. But I mean to kind of

1469
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 3: bring back a topic from the first hour with the

1470
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,959
Speaker 3: way the college football is now trending. In the nicoyam

1471
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 3: Aliava situation at Tennessee, you're paying X amount of money

1472
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 3: for a player to produce. You're going to put him

1473
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,440
Speaker 3: out there before he's ready just because.

1474
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: Of the cost. Which is why smart minds around the

1475
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: NFL continue tell us that quarterbacks are tougher and tougher

1476
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,640
Speaker 1: to evaluate at times like because there is not a

1477
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: ton of development like you, there is an advantage in

1478
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,759
Speaker 1: my mind to guys that have been playing like Camwoard

1479
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: has the advantage of having played a lot of college football.

1480
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: So look, I love a kid now that's played a

1481
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: lot of college football, because at least you could turn around, Look,

1482
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: Shaure has played a lot of college football. Give me

1483
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: somebody that you have a ton of tape on because

1484
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: you have a better idea of who they are. But

1485
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: development is not necessarily something anybody at any level is coaching.

1486
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: And for Titans fans that will say I'm a hater,

1487
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: like I'm sitting here with enough Raiders memorabilia around me,

1488
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: Like I am a lifelong time I've got a Raiders tattoo.

1489
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: I've never hidden my love of the Raiders. Like the

1490
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: fact is I've watched the Raiders missed at the quarterback

1491
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: position for most of my life. Like, for whatever you

1492
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: want to say about Derek Carr, I am forty eight.

1493
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: For whatever you want to say about Derek Carr, he

1494
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: is the second best Raiders quarterback I've seen in my

1495
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: life that I can remember. Like that is I've I've

1496
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 1: seen eleven winning seasons in the last forty years. Right,

1497
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: So at some point we could sit here all day

1498
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: and say, oh my god, if the Raiders pick a

1499
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 1: quarterback and he doesn't work out with the kid's a bum. No,

1500
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: Like at some point, Mark Davis just isn't very good

1501
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: at this right. So when you start saying, well, Pete

1502
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Carroll's old and all these things, I don't care. I

1503
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: just want an adult in the room that's been part

1504
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: of something successful for once, where I can say, Okay,

1505
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Mark's gonna screw it up, but maybe maybe

1506
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and Tom Brady won't screw it up, Like

1507
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: maybe there's just enough lit maybe he's finally gotten it right.

1508
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: But that's the most realistic thing any of us. Like

1509
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 1: Shay's a Browns fan. All Shay's hoping is that the

1510
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: Browns don't blow it. But realistically, I don't think they're

1511
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna blow it on Draft Day. They're gonna blow it

1512
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,719
Speaker 1: for the three years after Draft Day when they don't

1513
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 1: do anything to make the most of the people they

1514
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: actually brought in the room.

1515
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, Shade a wonder, Shane, no wonder.

1516
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:01,719
Speaker 2: He's shrinking. Did you hear that number? It's just weighing

1517
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 2: on him. Forty eight? Oh my god, that that dragged

1518
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 2: me down.

1519
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: A little bit. I gotta do the math. Actually, I'm

1520
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: not forty eight yet. I'll turn forty eight this year.

1521
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: I always forget, you know, when.

1522
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 2: Three quarters or whatever it is.

1523
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the funny thing is what Buck isn't telling you

1524
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: is that if we walked into a bar, I get

1525
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: carted before Buck Wit, he looks like the old man

1526
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 1: in the room, like I'm a sneaky vampire. It's fine.

1527
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 2: I got both talks for that, baby. Don't worry about

1528
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 2: it working.

1529
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't.

1530
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm around here, all right. Don't worry about us over here.

1531
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: You know how many times I get asked what my

1532
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: what my like regimen is? My regimen is? I barely

1533
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: wash my face like I don't do any of the

1534
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,240

1557
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 3: a tough scene out here, fits. I mean, and I

1558
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 3: was like this before and now now, I mean, it's

1559
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 3: it's it's a hopeless cost. But I almost feel like

1560
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 3: I want to ask Shay or Mary Mack back there

1561
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:56,559
Speaker 3: to give me the give me the the the little

1562
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 3: pretentious piano tinkle in the background whilst whilst you ask

1563
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 3: me elitist in questions.

1564
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 2: I think that would be a nice touch shake that he's.

1565
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: Gonna have that So you know, I started my fitness

1566
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: journey last year on May seventeenth, and I remember the

1567
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: day very specifically. I have not had alcohol since that

1568
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: point and humble brag. And I lost at one point

1569
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 1: a little over forty pounds, and not that I was

1570
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: a big guy to begin with, but I lost forty

1571
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: pounds and since then have put on twelve pounds of muscle.

1572
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 2: Like.

1573
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: So there's been a whole thing with the trainer, Nashville

1574
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: Trainer that has been absolutely incredible for me. Puts everything

1575
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 1: in an app so I know what to eat. I know,

1576
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: you know what to work out and so like the sets,

1577
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 1: the reps, everything, and then you know, I check in

1578
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: every week and everything. So I chart my macros. I

1579
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: keeping in touch with my macros. Right, so tells me

1580
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: what I can eat and what I can't eat every day.

1581
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 1: So I have I have a sweet tooth, but I

1582
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: can't have cake, right, And this is my great dilemma

1583
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: because as you well know, I don't understand moderation. So

1584
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm the type of person that's either completely off the

1585
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: wagon or completely on it. I'm the type of person

1586
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't need a drink or I've got friends tell

1587
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: me I should go to rehab. There's very little middle

1588
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: ground for me, right, So dark o, K dark? Well,

1589
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's just being I remember one year for

1590
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: New Year's I was like, I'm giving up alcohol and

1591
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:14,560
Speaker 1: some of my friends were like, ah, that's such a

1592
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 1: good idea, and I was like, oh my god, I

1593
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: didn't know.

1594
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 3: Right.

1595
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: So look, I've parted my way through some years. But

1596
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I love cake. I can't have cake,

1597
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 1: and I have struggled to figure out what I can

1598
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: have and I have now found a.

1599
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 2: Look at that the elitist quarter. I like this.

1600
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 1: I've found an elitist dessert of sorts that I particularly

1601
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: enjoy and I needed to get your take on it,

1602
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: because you are the type of elitist that will suffer

1603
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: through the wine presentation at a dinner table. To be honest, like,

1604
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't order wine because it's lost to me. Like

1605
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: a three dollars bottle of wine is about the tops

1606
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: for me. Somebody once told me I should treat myself

1607
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 1: to a nice bottle of wine. I called them the

1608
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: next day. I was like, I got one. There was

1609
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: like eighteen dollars and they laughed at me. Okay, so

1610
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: pa knew.

1611
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 3: God as soon as I heard your master's analysis plays

1612
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 3: as a we didn't already know this.

1613
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 2: We can sniff your kind out, just like we sniff

1614
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 2: the wine.

1615
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,639
Speaker 1: So my obsession at this point if I can get

1616
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: them the cotton candy ones, but if I can't grapes, okay,

1617
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You take the grapes, you wash

1618
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:15,799
Speaker 1: the grapes, you put the grapes in a little container,

1619
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: and you freeze the grapes. All right, So I find

1620
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: myself eating a portion controlled number of frozen grapes at

1621
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: the end of the night, and I feel so fancy

1622
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: because my whole life growing up is like, oh, the

1623
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 1: concept of frozen grapes, but also they're really delicious, So like,

1624
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 1: where are you, as the elitist on frozen grapes as

1625
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: a sweet treat at the end of the night.

1626
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 3: It sounds like something you would give a toddler's that

1627
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 3: does that does not sound like that to shut up

1628
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 3: a screaming baby up, you'd be like, all right, I'll

1629
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 3: give him some frozen grapes.

1630
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:45,799
Speaker 2: Maybe he's teething.

1631
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: Royalty back in the day got like like the women

1632
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: would feed the royalty the frozen grapes while they fan

1633
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,600
Speaker 1: them with the big banana les. No, no, no, no no.

1634
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 3: When you tell me frozen grapes, I think something that

1635
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 3: come in a wholesale bag that you're just pulling out

1636
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 3: of a pull it out of the frazer at night

1637
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 3: and shoveling a couple in your face and then calling

1638
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 3: it today.

1639
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 2: That does not fit the That does not fit the

1640
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 2: elitist vibe.

1641
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 3: You're fresh grapes, they heat, they had the seeds in

1642
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 3: them and everything like, these are actual grapes, not these

1643
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 3: mutated things that they sell you in the supermarkets. And

1644
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:21,520
Speaker 3: somebody is feeding you said grapes, then it classifies.

1645
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: Did you just throw shade at normal like at seedless grapes?

1646
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: Is being mutated? What are we talking about? Oh my god? Like,

1647
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: have you not had the cotton candy grapes? They taste

1648
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 1: just like cotton candy, but they are grapes.

1649
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Did you want the elitist opinion? I've given

1650
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 3: you the elitist opinion. If you don't like the way

1651
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 3: that I that I consume grapes, that it means that

1652
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 3: you're not of the not of the same caliber, not

1653
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 3: of the same quality, not of the same class.

1654
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 1: Did you. Okay, so you have a problem with jet

1655
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: left No, no, no, I want to, I want to.

1656
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, I just I want to be clear here.

1657
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 1: Did you know that Brussels sprouts? People think Brussels sprouts

1658
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 1: taste different than they used to. They do taste different

1659
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: than the used to because food scientists in Brussels figured

1660
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: out that people in the around the world weren't eating

1661
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: Brussels sprouts. So back in the late nineties, food scientists engineered.

1662
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,799
Speaker 1: They took all of the things that are different Brussels

1663
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: sprouts to make them taste better. So when people are like,

1664
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,560
Speaker 1: why didn't Brussels sprouts taste like this when I was

1665
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: a kid, it's because scientists in Brussels figured out how

1666
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 1: to make Brussels sprouts taste better. So, now, are you

1667
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: anti eating Brussels sprouts because they've been genetically mutated for you?

1668
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 2: No, I'm anti chemical You freeight get real Brussels sproutes.

1669
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you? Stop it?

1670
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: Well, okay, there aren't chemicals on Okay, look, I can't,

1671
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: I can't. All right, I'm just gonna go eat some

Speaker 3: in the room. They've got Jamis Winston throwing crab legs

1686
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 3: to fans at a sport fishing competition this weekend. Fitzy,

1687
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw that on Instagram. You've

1688
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 3: got Russell Wilson who's struggling mightily, not just to play

1689
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 3: the quarterback position, but also to come up with his

1690
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 3: newest catchphrase. Giants Nation, Let's ride doesn't quite fit. And

1691
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,440
Speaker 3: then there's Brian day Ball and Joe Shane, the embattled

1692
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 3: head coach and general manager of the New York Giants,

1693
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 3: who currently own the third overall pick in the NFL draft,

1694
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:47,640
Speaker 3: and there will be options at three to draft a

1695
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:51,440
Speaker 3: quarterback if they're really going to throw all available resources

1696
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 3: at the position. But you had mentioned before we started

1697
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 3: talking about frozen grapes and frozen snacks and sweet treats

1698
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 3: and things of the like in this economy where you're

1699
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 3: just trying to get a sweet treat for a reasonable cost.

1700
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 3: I understand it. I respect it. Even if you're a

1701
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 3: sweet treat choices, you know you could do better. You

1702
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 3: said the Giants fans have a reason to freak out

1703
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 3: or need to be freaking out at this point in time.

1704
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 3: I think there's a great many reasons that they're probably

1705
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 3: not freaking out but just apathetic about this whole situation.

1706
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 3: Because what one reason anywhere in the world do New

1707
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 3: York Giants fans have to be excited about their football

1708
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 3: team in twenty twenty five.

1709
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: So there isn't any one reason. And to your point, like,

1710
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 1: let's be clear here, if the Giants decided they were

1711
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 1: going to do a autograph signing in Times Square for

1712
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Giants fans, and they trot out Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston,

1713
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 1: some fans will be there sure, right If they trot

1714
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: out Shador Sanders in a month, the place will be packed, right,

1715
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: like you get sizzle with the quarterback. But the Giants

1716
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: as an organization went to social media and with the

1717
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: post to make your case, and they ask the fans

1718
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: who would you take if they're both available? Would you

1719
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: take shaduur or Abdul Carter? And I just keep looking

1720
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: at that thinking, Okay, it feels less like they're asking

1721
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: for fans opinions and more like they're asking for fans

1722
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: o painting. It's like, hey, guys, what do I do here?

1723
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: Like what do you guys want? And how often do

1724
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: we see that? Sometimes? You know, things get leaked because

1725
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: they're just trying to get a little bit of a

1726
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: pulse of the market. Like I think Shadoor is going

1727
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: to be there at three, I do. I don't think

1728
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns are going to take him. In a

1729
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: beautiful world, I think what the Giants should be hoping for,

1730
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: what the Raiders should be hoping for, what the Saints

1731
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: should be helping for, is that Cleveland reaches for Shaduur too,

1732
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: so that the whole conversation ends for all of us

1733
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: that are hoping you consume our draft content. We want

1734
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: to do it a fall so that you pay more

1735
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: attention to it, if we're being honest. But I think

1736
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:50,839
Speaker 1: at some point, if you're the Giants, look if quarterbacks

1737
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: go one or two, Abdul Carter, who they put in this?

1738
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: Would you rather sort of conversation a dual Carter, by

1739
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 1: many estimations, is the best player available in Maybe you

1740
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 1: prefer Travis Hunter, maybe you prefer Mason Graham, maybe you

1741
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 1: prefer Ashton Genty. I list those because those are pretty

1742
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:11,800
Speaker 1: clearly consensus. Those are the four best players in this

1743
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 1: year's draft, right, So if there's a reach at one

1744
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: and two, then teams three, four, five, and six, they're

1745
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 1: all gonna be better for it. But it gets really

1746
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: complicated for the Giants if shaduer is there, because look,

1747
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a great place to draft Shador Sanders.

1748
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Shador Sanders is a franchise saver. But

1749
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: I also don't think the Giants have any sort of

1750
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: a real option here. Like I don't think they got

1751
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: themselves a quarterback room. They can win them any games

1752
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: or excite anybody like. Nothing's gonna keep Dabo's job out

1753
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: of that. So I don't know what they do, but

1754
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 1: it just feels like when you're fishing for this stuff

1755
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: with fans, it just it felt weird to me.

1756
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 3: It made me laugh so hard to see Shay send

1757
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 3: this to our group text earlier today, because it's just

1758
01:21:57,479 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 3: it's one of the more ridiculous things I've ever seen

1759
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 3: a team do on their own website about their own

1760
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 3: draft upcoming. When you should like the idea of playing hypothetical,

1761
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 3: we're going to play would you rather at the end

1762
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 3: of this hour. As a matter of fact, the Giants

1763
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 3: are out here playing would you rather? With your draft

1764
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 3: pick on a regular basis on their team website, and

1765
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 3: it just it screams to me, Hey, guys, we're trying

1766
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 3: to get you involved, We're trying to keep you engaged,

1767
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 3: We're trying to keep your attention. Please don't give up

1768
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 3: on us. I promise it's going to be okay. Would

1769
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 3: you rather have Shador Sanders or abdl Carter? No, FITZI.

1770
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 3: They do have a choice. The choice is to pass.

1771
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 3: The choices to pass. Do not overdraft that quarterback if

1772
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 3: you're not equipped to handle him. And it's not you know,

1773
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 3: to your point, it's not saving Joe Shane's job or

1774
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 3: Brian da Ball's job to draft Shadoor Sanders because in

1775
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,600
Speaker 3: all likelihood Shaeddor Sanders is probably not going to be

1776
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 3: ready to play right away until dad gets on social

1777
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 3: media and starts lobbying for when Russell Wilson looks a

1778
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,679
Speaker 3: bit inadequate at is an advanced advanced age and maybe

1779
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 3: they go to Jamis in that kind of situation and

1780
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,600
Speaker 3: Jamis throws a couple of turnover and you're dealing with

1781
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 3: one of the more accurate quarterbacks in college football, even

1782
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:04,599
Speaker 3: if a lot of his passes came behind the line

1783
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:06,640
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, as we know is the case with the

1784
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 3: Colorado offense and Shador Sanders. So you have that extra

1785
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,640
Speaker 3: element of that that makes it particularly combustive in the

1786
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 3: New York market, which just adds fuel to the flame.

1787
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 3: And yes, that would give fans a reason to be excited.

1788
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:21,920
Speaker 3: But I guess if you're a Giants fan, I would

1789
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 3: ask you this question, are you just looking for something

1790
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 3: to excite you about your football team or are you

1791
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 3: looking to get better? Because if you are looking for

1792
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 3: the excitement of shador Sanders and the likely circus that

1793
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 3: comes to town and all the media that will come

1794
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 3: with it, and on the intrigue and all the interest,

1795
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 3: and will Deon Sanders be your next coach? You can

1796
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 3: get that if you draft Shadoor Sanders with a third

1797
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 3: overall pick. But are you actually improving your football team?

1798
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 2: To me, the answer is no.

1799
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 3: They have needs everywhere that it needs a wide receiver,

1800
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 3: they could use an extra pass rusher. They have so

1801
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:58,520
Speaker 3: many problems with that football team that addressing that specific

1802
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 3: pick with thatific quarterback, we'll not get them any closer

1803
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 3: to what they desire, which is a more competitive football

1804
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 3: team in a highly competitive division that features the defending

1805
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 3: Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, who are

1806
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 3: probably a little bit vulnerable but still have a competitive

1807
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 3: enough roster, certainly more competitive than the New York Giants,

1808
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 3: and then the Darling Washington Commanders, who are all of

1809
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,639
Speaker 3: a sudden turning the entire fate of their franchise around

1810
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 3: by going to the NFC Championship game. Should Door Sanders

1811
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 3: does not help them get any better in their division

1812
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 3: and trying to be more meaningfully competitive this year.

1813
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 2: You pass.

1814
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: The hard part about that, though, Buck, is if we're

1815
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 1: being honest, quarterbacks provide hope, right. And so I know

1816
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: I've said this before, but to me, quarterbacks are like ozempic.

1817
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 1: Like you can lose weight going to the gym every

1818
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 1: day and eating the right things and working really hard

1819
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 1: for a long time, and it's a slow grind and

1820
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: it's a long process, and when you come out of

1821
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 1: it on the other side, you're proud of what you did.

1822
01:24:58,040 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: You did it the right way, and it's really sustainable.

1823
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: You can do that. I've lived that. You can also

1824
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: take ozempic and immediately get much better, faster, much faster results, right,

1825
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,560
Speaker 1: And so everybody wants fast results in this society. And

1826
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 1: what's difficult. A great friend of mine told me years ago,

1827
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:19,719
Speaker 1: if you really want an assessment of your favorite team's roster,

1828
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: ask yourself, how many of our players right now starting

1829
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: would start on a high level playoff team, high level

1830
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: playoff team. And if you're the giant, you're looking around,

1831
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: you're saying, what's the answer to that? Three you know,

1832
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, if you're looking at

1833
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 1: it and say we have three or four players that

1834
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: would start on a high level football team well out

1835
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: of twenty two, so you need eighteen players. Now, a

1836
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 1: home run of an offseason a Hall of Fame, Oh

1837
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe we just did that in

1838
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 1: one off season might net you five high level starters.

1839
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: That's all home run Hall of Fame level offseason five starters.

1840
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: If you need eighteen new guys on your roster, you're

1841
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: talking about at least three years before you get to

1842
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: a super Bowl level team. Of doing it right every

1843
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 1: single time and having three straight years of Hall of

1844
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: Fame offseason, it's like fans don't want to live through

1845
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: that because they know it's not likely. So all of

1846
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,679
Speaker 1: a sudden, what you're just grasping its straws as fans,

1847
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: we want our teams to have a quarterback, because it's

1848
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: grasping its straws of like, maybe at least we can't

1849
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: get fifty three right, but if we get one right,

1850
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:23,600
Speaker 1: we won't suck. And if we won't suck, then I

1851
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 1: don't have to run away from sports coverage on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

1852
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: because all people are gonna do is make fun of

1853
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 1: my favorite team like that's why teams overdraft the quarterback

1854
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:35,680
Speaker 1: position is because getting one right is almost impossible, but

1855
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 1: getting fifty three right is even tougher. It feels impossible

1856
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 1: for teams to suck sure.

1857
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the allure of the ever you know,

1858
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 3: the ever intriguing, ever enticing franchise quarterback, the thing that's

1859
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 3: the savior of your football team. To your point, it's

1860
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,759
Speaker 3: an easy thing for fans to wrap their heads around,

1861
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 3: and you can accomplish a guy who can meaningfully elevate

1862
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 3: your football team. But if the football team is crap

1863
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 3: around him or significantly lesser than how far are you

1864
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 3: actually going to go? How close are you actually going

1865
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 3: to get to what you desire? As most clearly illustrated

1866
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 3: by this most recent Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes is the

1867
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 3: best quarterback I've ever seen in my life. Not the

1868
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 3: greatest winner, that's Tom Brady. I'm not here to do

1869
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 3: a sports talk radio debate to that effect. But Patrick

1870
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 3: Mahomes is the most talented quarterback I've ever seen in

1871
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 3: my football consuming life, and he got run by an

1872
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 3: entirely better football team than him that has a solid quarterback,

1873
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 3: but not the best quarterback Jalen Hurts is a winner,

1874
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,719
Speaker 3: a proven winner at every level of football that he's played.

1875
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 3: To his credit, he's wired correctly for it. But he's

1876
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 3: not the most talented player in the world. He's not

1877
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 3: the most skilled player in the world. But he plays

1878
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 3: on an infinitely better football team than Patrick Mahomes does.

1879
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 3: And there's no perfect way to get this right. If

1880
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 3: there was, NFL teams would be a hell of a

1881
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,760
Speaker 3: lot better at it. But the hope and the hope

1882
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 3: trafficking is not a it's not a solution, it's just delusion.

1883
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 3: The Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow is one of these players.

1884
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:07,640
Speaker 3: They have one of these fire breathing dragons at quarterback

1885
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 3: that everybody in the league would sell their soul for,

1886
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 3: and they have a defense that can't stop a nosebleed.

1887
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter. They don't make the playoffs.

1888
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:17,760
Speaker 3: Like you can have one of these franchise changing save

1889
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 3: your type of figures and it's still not be enough.

1890
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 2: Because football is it's the ultimate team sport.

1891
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 3: You hear that cliche all the time, and it is

1892
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 3: more articulated or better articulated each and every year. The

1893
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 3: more that you see these guys who just can't do

1894
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 3: it by themselves too. It's too difficult. The degree of

1895
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 3: difficulty is way too much.

1896
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: And I would echo those sentiments and only say that

1897
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: that's true for every single position, like Miles Garrett Max

1898
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: Crosby are two of the best players in the entire NFL,

1899
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 1: and how many games do they win? Right, And so

1900
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 1: it's just it's not any it's not one thing. It's

1901
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: all the things, and all the things have to happen

1902
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 1: right at once for a team to actually go from

1903
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: being terrible to being pretty good. And then people get

1904
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: frustrated that all they've done is gone from terrible to

1905
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: pretty good because now you got to go from pretty

1906
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 1: good to great, and then you get to great and

1907
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, but we can't beat the Chiefs. Like

1908
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 1: it's this never ending insane process where like when you

1909
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: wake up at the end of all of it, you

1910
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 1: have to have a roster capable of competing with the Chiefs.

1911
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 1: You have to have a coach capable of beating Andy Reid,

1912
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 1: you have to have a team capable of beating the

1913
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: Eagles defensive line. Like it's just it's so many different pieces.

1914
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: It's total chaos. Calm the chaos with the shipping software

Speaker 1: share Shay reminded us today, the NBA playoffs are right

1930
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 1: around the corner, and we're trying to figure out what

1931
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 1: are the best matchups and what we should be hyped about.

1932
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 1: We'll get you caught up on it when you come back.

1933
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: It's Buck and Fits on a Fox Sports Saturday on

1934
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:34,560
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. While we're sitting here watching the Masters

1935
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 1: some of us, and we're focused on the NFL Draft

1936
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: all of us. There is something coming right around the corner.

1937
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 1: And tomorrow's a big day for because the NBA playoffs

1938
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 1: are actually finally here. The question is what should we

1939
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 1: be excited about? And I think to be fair on

1940
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:58,960
Speaker 1: Bucking Fits on a Fox Sports Saturday, Buck Rising Jason

1941
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:02,200
Speaker 1: Fitz coming into Live the Tiraq dot Com studios. To

1942
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 1: be fair, I'm just gonna be honest, Buck, like this

1943
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 1: the way we always do everything on the show. We're

1944
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 1: real with people. We're transparent, right, So this won't be transparent.

1945
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:15,600
Speaker 1: The amount of basketball NBA basketball I have watched this

1946
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: year is less than substantial. And I'm being polite here

1947
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: because frankly, I make my living whether it's on Fox

1948
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Sports Radio or Yahoo Sports for me, I make my

1949
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 1: living mostly covering the NFL, college football and college basketball

1950
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:32,960
Speaker 1: for y'all. Like that's the majority of my responsibilities. So

1951
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:36,240
Speaker 1: I even was, I've been fully transparent a million times

1952
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 1: on the Fellas on Saturday mornings that you know in October,

1953
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm not watching a college basketball game. I'm just not,

1954
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 1: Like I don't have the equity to give a damn. Well,

1955
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 1: I sit here and Shape points out to us our

1956
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 1: producer stordinary that the playoffs are. You know, Tomorrow's the

1957
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 1: last day, seeding is on the line, and I'm sitting

1958
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:57,880
Speaker 1: there thinking, Man, I don't know how to make a

1959
01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 1: regular season matter because I don't think a lot of

1960
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:03,679
Speaker 1: people have truly given a damn? Am I wrong? Like Buck,

1961
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 1: have you been locked into this NBA season in a

1962
01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 1: way that makes you feel like connected to what we're

1963
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 1: about to get in the playoffs, Because I think the

1964
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:11,600
Speaker 1: playoffs can be very good. But I'm just trying to

1965
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:13,519
Speaker 1: figure out how connected we been.

1966
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 3: All Right, So I'm I'm the anomala here because I

1967
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 3: love basketball. I mean, it's it's by a mile. I'm

1968
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:24,639
Speaker 3: I'm an NFL reporter. I do local talk talk radio

1969
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:25,680
Speaker 3: here in Nashville.

1970
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 1: But I thought you were going to say something else there.

1971
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 1: We just started talk sh No.

1972
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 3: Well, I'm also one of those on a local basis,

1973
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 3: But I think that I love basketball more than any

1974
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:39,600
Speaker 3: other sports, so I pay closer attention to it. I

1975
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,320
Speaker 3: will watch college basketball games in October when I'm on

1976
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 3: the road covering the Tennessee Titans as is part of

1977
01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 3: my job, I will pay attention to what's going on

1978
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 3: with the Memphis Grizzlies, even though I know in Nashville, Tennessee,

1979
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:51,960
Speaker 3: we're not going to talk about the Memphis Grizzlies because

1980
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,640
Speaker 3: Nashville doesn't care about the NBA and Memphis doesn't care

1981
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 3: about the NFL or the NHL that we have here

1982
01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 3: in Nashville. Like, that's just not gonna be on the

1983
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 3: Doc and Jaws here in Tennessee. So it makes an

1984
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 3: easier topic or an easier subject matter to pay attention to.

1985
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 2: Also, with the nature of fired coaches here lately in.

1986
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 3: The NBA, Mike bloone going on with the Denver Nuggets,

1987
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,280
Speaker 3: you obviously have Taylor Jenkins being fired by the Grizzlies

1988
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 3: and the slide that they've been on there. So again, Fitz,

1989
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 3: you are speaking for the vast majority of people because

1990
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 3: the NBA has created a product in which you don't

1991
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:26,960
Speaker 3: have to follow, You don't have to watch their games

1992
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 3: to follow their sport, which is crazy.

1993
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:32,599
Speaker 2: I mean it's crazy, but it's true.

1994
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 3: You can have access to all of the statistics, you

1995
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 3: can know all of the individual players accolades, you can

1996
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 3: see highlights all over social media.

1997
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 2: You can watch full games on YouTube if.

1998
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,759
Speaker 3: You want to, but you can follow the NBA without

1999
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 3: actually watching the sport, which is the problem that Adam

2000
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 3: Silver is currently trying to solve so much, to the

2001
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 3: point where I know, speaking of Fox Sports Radio, he

2002
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:57,040
Speaker 3: I believe it. Recently an interview with Dan Patrick. Adam

2003
01:33:57,080 --> 01:34:00,479
Speaker 3: Silver was on Dan Patrick's show talking about the idea of,

2004
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,560
Speaker 3: you know, potentially altering things about the way that the

2005
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 3: games are formatted, and even kind of hinted at the

2006
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:09,760
Speaker 3: idea of a truncated schedule, which we've all been begging for.

2007
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 3: In the NBA and the MLB, where the inventory is

2008
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:16,479
Speaker 3: just and the NHL, the inventory is just too great

2009
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 3: to really captivate an audience for the entire duration of

2010
01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 3: a regular season.

2011
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 2: They've tried things like the nd season tournament that just

2012
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:25,080
Speaker 2: don't matter.

2013
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,160
Speaker 3: The All Star Games are a disaster across the board

2014
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 3: except for Major League Baseball. So I mean save shortening

2015
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:35,759
Speaker 3: games or shortening seasons FITZI, which the leagues are always

2016
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:37,320
Speaker 3: going to be loath to do because then it takes

2017
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:40,320
Speaker 3: away inventory and takes away television dollars. And the reason

2018
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 3: that this whole thing exists I don't know how you

2019
01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 3: make the NBA's regular season more compelling.

2020
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 2: All I'll tell you is I will watch. I will

2021
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:49,520
Speaker 2: watch probably.

2022
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:54,679
Speaker 3: Twenty five full NBA games a season, and I feel

2023
01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 3: like that's more than the average person would.

2024
01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:00,360
Speaker 1: That's way more than that. Now, we were all locked

2025
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:03,240
Speaker 1: in a couple of nights ago because Luca versus the MAVs,

2026
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 1: Like that's the sort of like there we go. Now

2027
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 1: you're giving me sex, like you're giving me just straight

2028
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,600
Speaker 1: sizzle on this. I want this Like this, this is

2029
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: bacon when you wake up in the morning and you're

2030
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 1: suddenly excited for breakfast, right Like, nobody wakes up every

2031
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 1: day excited for breakfast until you smell bacon, and then

2032
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: you're excited for it. Luca and going back against the

2033
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 1: MAVs excited. So, Shay a question, should we be rooting

2034
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: at this point for a Lakers MAVs playoff series or

2035
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 1: is that just gonna get too Like now I've had

2036
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 1: bacon every day and suddenly it's not gonna be as

2037
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:33,040
Speaker 1: enticing to me.

2038
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 4: So as a Laker fan, I'd root for that because

2039
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:38,599
Speaker 4: we own them at this point and obviously, but I mean,

2040
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 4: if you're really gonna root for something right now, and

2041
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 4: it's something that could obviously happen. It's always Warriors Lakers,

2042
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:45,679
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. There's nothing that would beat

2043
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:49,360
Speaker 4: Warriors Lakers from a media standpoint, a fan standpoint, a

2044
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:52,160
Speaker 4: players standpoint. It's just something that we're so used to

2045
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:55,679
Speaker 4: with the Steph Curry versus Lebron headline, and it's something

2046
01:35:55,760 --> 01:36:00,080
Speaker 4: that's honestly imagine if because last show Steve harm And

2047
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:02,640
Speaker 4: said this absurd thing about how Lebron won't be a

2048
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,600
Speaker 4: Laker next year whether he retires or what. I know,

2049
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:10,240
Speaker 4: it's it's it's absurd, But I could definitely see Lebron

2050
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,760
Speaker 4: retiring after he gets the ring. That's the only way.

2051
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 4: That's the only way I see that. But imagine it.

2052
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:20,200
Speaker 4: He beats Steph Curry, he moves on, takes down yo kitsch,

2053
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 4: goes on, takes down Okay, see whoever it might may be,

2054
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 4: and then beats the Celtics and gets that ring. That's

2055
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:29,759
Speaker 4: what I want to see, like legit as a Lakers exactly,

2056
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 4: like from that bias, that's what I want to see.

2057
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,800
Speaker 4: I don't care about like MAVs Lakers at all, to

2058
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 4: be honest, I mean, like, of course I like seeing

2059
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:41,240
Speaker 4: a d which we shut him down felt amazing. But

2060
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 4: it's in the end, it's like Lucas said it.

2061
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 1: You could see the joy on.

2062
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 2: For God's sake.

2063
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the exact opposite. When we when we

2064
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 1: were talking to Shae earlier about the Browns, you saw

2065
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, shrinking Shay and it was just like it

2066
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 1: was sad and it was he just wanted to reach

2067
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:01,600
Speaker 1: out and get my And now you've just got like

2068
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: the joy, joy, joy Joe down in your heart. I

2069
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 1: can feel it.

2070
01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 2: It's very Chesty's very sure. You talk about when you.

2071
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 1: Were a gospel choire to come into the background with

2072
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:14,600
Speaker 1: the over and over again like this this is, this is,

2073
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 1: this is electric for you.

2074
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 3: So say do you want then, because you know, obviously

2075
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:22,879
Speaker 3: we'll have the final, the final round of games tomorrow

2076
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 3: in the regular season and playoff seating is determined in

2077
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 3: the East, and we're just waiting for a couple of

2078
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:29,439
Speaker 3: results in the West to kind of figure out, of course,

2079
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 3: how all these chips are going to fall. You got

2080
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 3: the Clippers and the Warriors tomorrow. Clippers, I think would

2081
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 3: be the fourth of the fifth seed in the West,

2082
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:39,840
Speaker 3: depending on what happens with Denver. The best Shaye, You'll

2083
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong on this. The best the

2084
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 3: Warriors can do right now is the sixth seed, which

2085
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 3: would mean that they would get the Los Angeles Lakers

2086
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:48,679
Speaker 3: in the first round.

2087
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:50,919
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's for the Lakers. It's between the Timberwolves

2088
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 4: and the Warriors right now. So it depends if the

2089
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 4: Warriors win tomorrow and the and the Timberwolves win, I'm

2090
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 4: pretty sure it would be Warriors. Warriors lose, Timberwolves win,

2091
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:03,240
Speaker 4: we would get the Timberwolves. And then of course it's

2092
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 4: it's it's a weird situation because as a as an

2093
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 4: NBA fan, I want to see Lakers Warriors, But as

2094
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 4: a Laker fan, I think I necessary. I do want

2095
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:13,679
Speaker 4: to see Timberwolves, just because in terms of how young

2096
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 4: they are in the playoffs. And then on top of

2097
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 4: and is just when you when you think about someone

2098
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 4: that well, Steve de Sega said it earlier, he should

2099
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 4: have been sitting out last game because of that tea.

2100
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 4: If he gets teed up, I mean, we're they're gonna

2101
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 4: be playing without.

2102
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 2: Oh you're talking about Anthony Edwards.

2103
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:31,920
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards.

2104
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: You're excited like that's what you're You're a Lakers fan

2105
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:38,360
Speaker 1: that feels very confident about your team's ability to hoist

2106
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:41,800
Speaker 1: the Larry Op. Of course, yet yet you're like, I

2107
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:45,839
Speaker 1: Meanitwars gets teed up, We're gonna have a much easier pat.

2108
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 4: They're playing without their best player. Anyone would be happy

2109
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 4: you can.

2110
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 3: The alternative is Curry, Jimmy Butler and whatever Draymond is

2111
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 3: his career.

2112
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 4: In terms of matching up against teams, I think we

2113
01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 4: match up against the Lakers matchup against the Timberwolves a

2114
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 4: little bit better than they do. It's the Warriors, especially

2115
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:02,960
Speaker 4: because the Warriors have that quick place to play, which

2116
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 4: is something that we've been pretty not that great against. Again,

2117
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 4: we're smaller now and it would be a little bit

2118
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:11,280
Speaker 4: easier to go up against the Warriors. We haven't really

2119
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 4: seen the Warriors with Jimmy Butler, so it's something that's

2120
01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 4: kind of an unknown to me and the Lakers. But

2121
01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 4: in the end, I really do think that as just

2122
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 4: an NBA fan, I would like to see that Warriors

2123
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:24,280
Speaker 4: Lakers matchup.

2124
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, Warriors Lakers would be absolutely

2125
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: electric for just a conversation around the sport, right, which

2126
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:34,920
Speaker 1: is what you need, you need the momentum I think

2127
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:38,400
Speaker 1: coming into the playoffs of that opportunity and the farther

2128
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 1: the Lakers go, not just because of Lebron but also

2129
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: because of Luke. I think the better you mentioned Steve

2130
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 1: de Sager. Let's get Steve to get us an updates.

2131
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:47,760
Speaker 1: Of course, continue this conversation about what could happen for

2132
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs and what should have everybody excited after

2133
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 1: we find out what's going on.

2134
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 5: Right now Baseball and just a moment. NBA is off tonight.

2135
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 5: Regular season ends Sunday. That will include Clippers at Golden State,

2136
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,479

Speaker 1: the air, Buck Rising, Jason Fitz and producer Shait coming

2190
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:45,280
Speaker 1: in and giving us NBA thoughts as we get ready

2191
01:42:45,320 --> 01:42:47,120
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. Can I just tell y'all, like, I

2192
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 1: hate the fact that we constantly, as a society, we

2193
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: take a young team and decide that they're not going

2194
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 1: to do anything in the playoffs because they're not playoff tested.

2195
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 1: I just like, look, I don't know how to separate

2196
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 1: these two, but if you want to give me meaning

2197
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: to the regular season, don't spend the whole regular season

2198
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 1: telling me why Oklahoma City is not going to do

2199
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 1: anything in the playoffs because they're young or whatever. Like,

2200
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:11,599
Speaker 1: I just I hate this part of the way. And look,

2201
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:14,120
Speaker 1: I get that there's truth to it, but I just

2202
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:16,960
Speaker 1: it drives me crazy that we sit through this just

2203
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: marathon of a city a season and then shay the

2204
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,040
Speaker 1: whole time we sit there and say, yeah, but none

2205
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 1: of this will mean anything when we get to the

2206
01:43:23,560 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 1: playoffs and what the hell was the point?

2207
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 4: Okay, So first off, I think, okay, they they've they've

2208
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:31,720
Speaker 4: gotten too much media coverage. Of course, they have seven

2209
01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 4: sixty seven wins, so they should be getting that much coverage.

2210
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 4: But in the end, I'm a firm believer Yokic should

2211
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 4: win of MVP over SGA. On top of that, that's

2212
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:41,719
Speaker 4: not what we're talking about though, We're staying in the West.

2213
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:45,639
Speaker 4: And I really do think that because when you say young,

2214
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:49,320
Speaker 4: like they're like we saw some teams in the NCAA

2215
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:52,760
Speaker 4: tournament that were older than the thunder, which is an

2216
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:57,080
Speaker 4: insane stat, an insane stat, and just seeing that makes

2217
01:43:57,120 --> 01:44:00,680
Speaker 4: me believe. Yes, I mean, I'm older than most of

2218
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 4: their players, which is like absurd, Like you look at

2219
01:44:03,320 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 4: me and you're like, look at this young kid. Imagine

2220
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 4: me in a playoff game against Luka Doncic and Lebron James.

2221
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:12,000
Speaker 4: I'm I'm folding, I'm collapsing. It doesn't matter. It's like

2222
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 4: it's such a big deal. And like, don't get me wrong,

2223
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:17,479
Speaker 4: they have great chemistry, their their postgame interviews are amazing.

2224
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 4: I love everything about them, But I don't think this

2225
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 4: is the ear for them. If anything, I think next year,

2226
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 4: one hundred percent, they are going to be dangerous, so dangerous,

2227
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:30,519
Speaker 4: they'll see what they have to do. Like when it's

2228
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:33,160
Speaker 4: it's a five, it's it's a series, it's it's something

2229
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:35,559
Speaker 4: that they don't know and haven't seen before. And these

2230
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:40,160
Speaker 4: these NBA series are something that's so crazy, draining on

2231
01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 4: the body. And yes they have young legs, but it's

2232
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 4: all mental in the end, when you get there, it's

2233
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 4: we can go back to the masters right now, like

2234
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 4: it's all mental. Going behind it feels a lot better.

2235
01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 4: But when you're ahead and you have all of this

2236
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 4: media coverage on you and everything, I think it's just

2237
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:54,640
Speaker 4: gonna get to them. I could bite my words. Who

2238
01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:57,840
Speaker 4: knows they could be winning the championship this year easily.

2239
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 4: I won't be able to tell you that. But in

2240
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 4: the end, I really do think that they are too young,

2241
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 4: especially when I'm saying that the Timberwolves are young. This

2242
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 4: is they're actually young. There's nothing else to say on it.

2243
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:12,920
Speaker 4: And Buck, if you want to add on to that,

2244
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:15,080
Speaker 4: I think you want to say something here, but it's

2245
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:17,439
Speaker 4: I just don't see it. I really don't.

2246
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 3: Well, I just I'm laughing back here because you, Shay,

2247
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:24,960
Speaker 3: a Liakers fan, are telling Oklahoma City Thunder fans that

2248
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 3: their team is getting too much coverage, and I find

2249
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:27,839
Speaker 3: that delightful.

2250
01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:34,680
Speaker 2: There was zero self awareness.

2251
01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 1: No, I'll take that.

2252
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:39,320
Speaker 4: You're right, You're right, right.

2253
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, No, because like I like what you

2254
01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:45,040
Speaker 2: said about it being mental. This is something it's like

2255
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 2: I and I don't think it.

2256
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,160
Speaker 3: As far as I know, anybody on the show is

2257
01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:51,960
Speaker 3: a parent as of right now, to the best of

2258
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:56,360
Speaker 3: our knowledge. But I imagine it's like having kids for

2259
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:58,880
Speaker 3: the first time when you go through the playoffs in

2260
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:01,080
Speaker 3: this kind of a situation for the first time, and

2261
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 3: there's no manual for how to do it the right way.

2262
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:05,720
Speaker 3: You've got a coach who's probably seen some things and

2263
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 3: been through some things at this point in his career.

2264
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:11,759
Speaker 3: You're playing for an organization that has been there before,

2265
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:15,040
Speaker 3: but you haven't as a part of that organization, not

2266
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 3: to that scale yet. Right The Oklahoma City Thunder are

2267
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 3: one of the best organizations in professional basketball.

2268
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:24,439
Speaker 2: They continue to prove this.

2269
01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 3: I mean for the better part of fifteen years, it

2270
01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 3: feels like at this point, constantly in the mix and

2271
01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 3: constantly regenerating their roster with youth and talent and finding

2272
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:39,040
Speaker 3: ways to stay meaningfully competitive. But the level of pressure

2273
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:42,880
Speaker 3: that you will experience that they've already experienced to a degree,

2274
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 3: but not even remotely close to what the scrutiny will

2275
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 3: become in the playoffs when you're the team that people

2276
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:53,640
Speaker 3: are hunting, When you're the team you're not, You're not

2277
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:57,679
Speaker 3: the nothing to lose, happy go lucky five seed coming

2278
01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:00,559
Speaker 3: in here to wreck some people's wreck and people stuff right,

2279
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:04,040
Speaker 3: you're the top dog and you're being looked at that

2280
01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:08,360
Speaker 3: way even though you don't have the requisite resume necessarily

2281
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:10,800
Speaker 3: to stand on.

2282
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:13,680
Speaker 2: You don't have you don't have laurels to rest on yet.

2283
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 3: You've accomplished things in the regular season, but you haven't

2284
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:19,760
Speaker 3: won in a meaningful way in the postseason. There's no

2285
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 3: way to recreate that experience, and so I think that

2286
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 3: your analysis is fair. I agree with you, Fitzi about

2287
01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:30,160
Speaker 3: hating the thing in sports. Well, just because we haven't

2288
01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 3: seen them do it yet doesn't mean that they can

2289
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:36,320
Speaker 3: do it right. It's the lowest form of analysis, and

2290
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:42,480
Speaker 3: it's a plague across sports, but there are some intangible

2291
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 3: qualities of what it is to go through a situation

2292
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,559
Speaker 3: like this for the first time. That absolutely wears on teams.

2293
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,200
Speaker 3: I mean, look at look at the Warriors at the

2294
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:54,839
Speaker 3: height of their winning with Draymond Green and Kevin Durant

2295
01:47:55,120 --> 01:47:57,920
Speaker 3: and Steph Curry at the time, and how taxing even

2296
01:47:58,000 --> 01:47:59,760
Speaker 3: that became to the point where that broke up that

2297
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:01,920
Speaker 3: that team should have stayed together for as long as

2298
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,040
Speaker 3: humanly possible, and it just wore them down because they couldn't.

2299
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:08,280
Speaker 3: The winning is excellent, but it's very rarely is it fun.

2300
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:11,080
Speaker 3: And you have to find ways to balance all of

2301
01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 3: those different things. I know, I know fans don't want

2302
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:15,120
Speaker 3: to hear that all that's what the money's for. What

2303
01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:16,880
Speaker 3: do you mean you're not having fun doing all this winning.

2304
01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 3: We've heard that Dwayne Wade and Dwayn Wade and Lebron

2305
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 3: James talk about the heatles that way, the Big Three

2306
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:25,840
Speaker 3: and how taxing that was, and pat Riley and the

2307
01:48:26,200 --> 01:48:29,040
Speaker 3: whole the whole situation. How many different things you cannot

2308
01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 3: be prepared for that will harden you. That kind of

2309
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,160
Speaker 3: take away from the joy of winning. Whereas you know,

2310
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:36,600
Speaker 3: if you have no expectations on you, you can just

2311
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 3: go in there and try to make a mess.

2312
01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 1: If we're sitting here talking about a team that won

2313
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 1: fifty seven games, fifty seven and twenty five right now,

2314
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:47,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about a team that's won that many games,

2315
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:49,960
Speaker 1: and we're saying that, yeah, but it doesn't really matter

2316
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 1: because they don't have what it takes to win in

2317
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:55,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs, then your system is broken. That's the biggest

2318
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:57,599
Speaker 1: thing to me is that if you're if we're sitting

2319
01:48:57,640 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 1: here constantly saying how do we make NBA games more

2320
01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 1: meaningful than the regular season, don't don't expect me to

2321
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 1: sit here and watch a team win almost sixty games

2322
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:11,600
Speaker 1: if that is all irrelevant once we get to playoff basketball, Like,

2323
01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:14,799
Speaker 1: that's just it. I understand, and I agree with everything

2324
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 1: you guys are saying. It just like the analysis we

2325
01:49:17,439 --> 01:49:20,439
Speaker 1: say all the time. I'm a hockey fan and I've

2326
01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 1: covered that sport at a pretty good level, and the

2327
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:24,080
Speaker 1: number of times we say, yeah, well you get a

2328
01:49:24,120 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 1: hot goaltender and you'll win the Stanley Cup. Okay, if

2329
01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:28,559
Speaker 1: it's that simple, then what do we like then why

2330
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:30,880
Speaker 1: watch any of it? Like, if it's as simple as

2331
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: only the teams with experience will find a way to prevail,

2332
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: And what's the point in the entire regular season. I

2333
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:39,880
Speaker 1: don't disagree with the analysis. I don't disagree that it

2334
01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:42,960
Speaker 1: is a factor. I just think that it's all indicators.

2335
01:49:43,320 --> 01:49:46,160
Speaker 1: Those are all indicators that the system is broken. If

2336
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: that's where we find that, that's where we are with

2337
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:52,000
Speaker 1: the team as good as Oklahoma City, it's that's there's

2338
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 1: got to be a better way, you know.

2339
01:49:57,240 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 3: It is a fascinating thing to kind of to on

2340
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:02,719
Speaker 3: a little bit, right, the idea of it being broken

2341
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:05,000
Speaker 3: if they if you don't feel like your regular season

2342
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 3: is testing these teams the way that it should. I

2343
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,640
Speaker 3: don't know what the solution to that is necessarily, but

2344
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 3: it kind of brings us back to the point that

2345
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:17,240
Speaker 3: we were making in the first hour about the amount

2346
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:19,639
Speaker 3: of inventory with these games and how seriously that's being

2347
01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 3: taken and the degree of load management that all of

2348
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:24,680
Speaker 3: this is being approached with that that that really that

2349
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 3: really makes that formula so difficult to kind of determine.

2350
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 2: I wish I had a better answer for Adam Silver.

2351
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 3: Adam Silver is a much more intelligent human being than

2352
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:34,280
Speaker 3: I am, so I'm sure he's been stewing on this

2353
01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 3: for quite some time.

2354
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 2: But it's it's a fascinating point.

2355
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 1: That you make.

2356
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:38,519
Speaker 2: Fits.

2357
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:41,200
Speaker 3: I don't know how they solve that problem, but it's

2358
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 3: a it's a legitimate problem. It allows you to poke

2359
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:48,560
Speaker 3: in product at their at their entire setup, right, It allows.

2360
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,720
Speaker 2: You to just have that thought in your mind, the

2361
01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 2: idea of, well, what if they.

2362
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:54,240
Speaker 3: Get in the postseason, they don't do anything because their

2363
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:56,599
Speaker 3: regular season really isn't applicable to what they're about to face.

2364
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:58,840
Speaker 3: When all of these teams who are just you know,

2365
01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:01,920
Speaker 3: smart about the regular season and surviving and making sure

2366
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:04,599
Speaker 3: that they have as much of their health as humanly possible,

2367
01:51:04,920 --> 01:51:07,720
Speaker 3: if they come in here and just dismantle an Oklahoma

2368
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 3: City team that's that's been pedal to the metal the

2369
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 3: entire way through, but then they face a different degree

2370
01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:15,880
Speaker 3: of difficulty than they have to this point, and it's

2371
01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:18,120
Speaker 3: all for not I don't know how you fix that.

2372
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 1: All right, So I guess the question we're having philosophically

2373
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 1: is would you rather have a team that comes in

2374
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:27,200
Speaker 1: through the entire season and DOMINATEQ win the championship or

2375
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,880
Speaker 1: would you rather have a team like the Lakers come together?

2376
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:32,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of would you rather the greatest game in all

2377
01:51:32,920 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio history comes at You Next, He's

2378

Speaker 1: the board.

2383
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 3: Could you sound less enthus behind an incredible song that

2384
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:00,400
Speaker 3: Mary Mack picked out first?

2385
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:03,760
Speaker 1: This is amazing. This is my version of enthused. I

2386
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:06,559
Speaker 1: have resting disinterested face. My friends tell me that all

2387
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:09,240
Speaker 1: the time, like some people have resting you know what, face,

2388
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:12,799
Speaker 1: I have resting disinterested face, Like I'm never that impressed

2389
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:14,240
Speaker 1: or unimpressed by anything.

2390
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:17,679
Speaker 3: I'm just back here, bopping around. I'm trying to vibe

2391
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:19,560
Speaker 3: and then you just come in on monotone like that.

2392
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:22,720
Speaker 3: You're rocking back and forth like an insane person in

2393
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:25,840
Speaker 3: one of those in one of those jackets. Flackjacket not

2394
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 3: flack jackets, you know what I mean.

2395
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: Look, I was I'm old enough that I did the

2396
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 1: hibbity this song, so like I'm just saying, like I

2397
01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:36,679
Speaker 1: just I was reminiscing the hibbitty dibity.

2398
01:52:37,120 --> 01:52:38,839
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a real thing.

2399
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:44,000
Speaker 1: The hibbitydibity. Oh it was real real, Oh, I can't

2400
01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:46,880
Speaker 1: change the topic off of the hibbitydibity.

2401
01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm so scared of what you just dragged us into.

2402
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:53,439
Speaker 1: Well, you know, love making, Buck, That's what I dragged

2403
01:52:53,479 --> 01:52:54,280
Speaker 1: us into. Love making.

2404
01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:59,439
Speaker 2: On that note, if this is the first time, you

2405
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:00,120
Speaker 2: don't even.

2406
01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:06,479
Speaker 1: Well that, there's a reason. Okay, So it is time

2407
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:09,800
Speaker 1: for America's favorite game show. We like to end every

2408
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:12,760
Speaker 1: one of our times together hanging out with with a

2409
01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:14,160
Speaker 1: little bit of fun, with a little bit of action,

2410
01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:15,760
Speaker 1: with a little bit of would you rather? But we're

2411
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna do this the right way. So we get a

2412
01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:18,799
Speaker 1: little bit of game show music going in the background,

2413
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 1: and then we all collectively say the phrase to introduce

2414
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:25,479
Speaker 1: the game. Gentlemen, we didn't do this very well last time.

2415
01:53:25,520 --> 01:53:26,920
Speaker 1: We're going to do it great this time. We're just

2416
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:29,120
Speaker 1: going to say it together. Are you ready? Shape you

2417
01:53:29,200 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 1: feel this? Okay, here we go. It's time for wood.

2418
01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:41,920
Speaker 1: Would I ump the gun? I jumped the gun three

2419
01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:42,599
Speaker 1: different places.

2420
01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:46,800
Speaker 4: You were looking at each other too, now, American, it

2421
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:55,760
Speaker 4: is premature, okay, one way, So that was the joke

2422
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:59,720
Speaker 4: I appreciate just for the people that didn't understand it.

2423
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:03,559
Speaker 1: So we're going to the other way people who don't

2424
01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 1: understand it.

2425
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:10,360
Speaker 4: Would you rather, Yeah, would you rather have spaghetti for

2426
01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:14,720
Speaker 4: hair or sweat maple syrup? Fits will start with you.

2427
01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:17,920
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather have spaghetti for hair, because, like,

2428
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:20,080
Speaker 1: you could do some cool styling with that thing. I

2429
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:22,160
Speaker 1: think like, if you got the right you know, freeze

2430
01:54:22,200 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 1: blast pray, you could really get weird. Like some days

2431
01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:26,560
Speaker 1: you could make it sort of curly, some days you

2432
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:28,599
Speaker 1: can make it a straight mohawk, And like a spaghetti

2433
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:31,880
Speaker 1: mohawk sounds kind of awesome to me. So I'm in plus, like,

2434
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 1: if we get stranded on a desert island, then buck

2435
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:35,560
Speaker 1: could eat my head.

2436
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:41,680
Speaker 3: Well, you you are the You are the human version

2437
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 3: of a stranded on an island, and you would be

2438
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:45,760
Speaker 3: like the equivalent of a frozen grape. I don't know

2439
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:47,560
Speaker 3: if that's satisfying anybody.

2440
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:49,640
Speaker 1: Okay at this point that but I could puck out

2441
01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:51,480
Speaker 1: one of the pieces and we could Lady in the trampet,

2442
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, what would you rather do?

2443
01:54:53,320 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 3: Well, clearly we're working on our intimacy on the show.

2444
01:54:56,520 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 3: I would prefer to sweat maple syrup. It would smell

2445
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 3: infinite better than what people smell like when they sweat.

2446
01:55:02,640 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 3: Now having spaghetti for hair just I don't like the

2447
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:07,080
Speaker 3: idea of it being damp. I don't like the idea

2448
01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 3: of stuff running off the side.

2449
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 1: Of my head.

2450
01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:11,800
Speaker 3: If we're dealing with a tomato sauce here, I don't know,

2451
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:15,000
Speaker 3: is it just is it just raw spaghetti like noodles,

2452
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:16,040
Speaker 3: or is there like meatball?

2453
01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:16,160
Speaker 7: Like?

2454
01:55:16,240 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 1: What?

2455
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:18,440
Speaker 3: What's what's the entire thing? There's too much that goes

2456
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 3: involved with that. I'd rather just sweat the maple syrup.

2457
01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:24,520
Speaker 4: Easy sticky though it's weird.

2458
01:55:24,920 --> 01:55:27,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I'm I'm sticky when I'm sweaty.

2459
01:55:27,440 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 4: Anyway makes sense.

2460
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:31,560
Speaker 2: I'm not always sticky. What are you talking about?

2461
01:55:33,240 --> 01:55:33,680
Speaker 1: Go ahead?

2462
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 2: Would you have our jobs?

2463
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 4: This is a dangerous I might just delete this from

2464
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:43,400
Speaker 4: the podcast on I Was Perfect. Would you rather be

2465
01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:48,000
Speaker 4: tackled by Miles Garrett or have to run a marathon

2466
01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 4: in some rainbow flip flopsle garrot?

2467
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'd rather I would rather just take the

2468
01:55:55,560 --> 01:55:58,760
Speaker 3: twenty seconds and you know, potential life altering pain that

2469
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:01,360
Speaker 3: would come with being hit for force by Miles Garrett

2470
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 3: marathon And I'm not a runner, like I'm just you know,

2471
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 3: not not built for it. Not interested in it through

2472
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,040
Speaker 3: a block run every once in a while, a marathon

2473
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:12,800
Speaker 3: like hell in flip flops. I would rather you take

2474
01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:15,560
Speaker 3: a drill bit to my temple. Absolutely not give me

2475
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:18,560
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett in the instant. Maybe I'll just spontaneously combust

2476
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:20,440
Speaker 3: and a little he will hit me so hard that

2477
01:56:20,520 --> 01:56:22,840
Speaker 3: I won't even feel it when I crumple into a

2478
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:23,640
Speaker 3: thousand pieces.

2479
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't even like walking in flip flops, by the way,

2480
01:56:27,160 --> 01:56:29,320
Speaker 1: so like I'm going to bank that. When Miles Garrett

2481
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:32,160
Speaker 1: is running after me, he hears me screeched like a

2482
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:35,040
Speaker 1: small infant child, and then he pulls up a little

2483
01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:36,720
Speaker 1: bit on me, like that's what like when I'm like

2484
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 1: h as it's happening, and then arms waving in the

2485
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 1: air like I'm Kermit the frog, Miles is gonna feel

2486
01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 1: bad for me, and he's gonna be like, I can't

2487
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 1: take this guy down that hard. I can't do it.

2488
01:56:46,200 --> 01:56:48,000
Speaker 1: That's been it. Thank you so much for hanging out

2489
01:56:48,080 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 1: with Buck and fitz. He's Buck Rising on Jason fitz

2490
01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:53,320
Speaker 1: Keeping on Fox Sports Saturday all weekend long
