00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: a rule and that rule is asy as you know,

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: we push everything aside when Chris mad Dog Russo mispronounces something.

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,360

00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:08,000

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 4: But you have confidence in Peyton getting the most out

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 4: of the.

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 5: Out of the quarterback in this ball game.

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: Here stick stick them in this game on Sunday afternoon

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: against the Patriots.

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 6: What's your take with that game?

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 4: Let me hear.

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: Who was on the receiving end of that question.

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 6: Is that not pronouncing it correctly? Or is that not

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 6: knowing his name?

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: That's just Dog being dog, That's what it is.

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 6: You know. He went with the stickham and then to

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 6: correct himself said.

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 7: No, that sounded right, stick them, Yes, yes, I want

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 7: to play it again.

37
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: I want to play this didham sound again because you

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: can hear Dog waiting for his producer to give him

39
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: the correct pronunciation of the name in his headset. And

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: perhaps Eddie Eddie Erickson did. But I have no idea

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,919
Speaker 2: that that's an hung twister. Hey, you have nothing. First off,

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: you have really coming from you, black up quarterback?

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 6: That was Taylor? Yea clear yes, it was Taylor. In

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 6: the VIP room.

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: I want you to listen to it closely again because

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: you can hear mad Dog kind of trying to kill

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: some time, trying to give his producer some time to

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: give him the correct pronunciation of a name. That's really

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: easy to pronounce go ahead.

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 4: But you have confidence in Peyton getting the most out

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: of the U out of the quarterback in this ball game. Here,

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: sick stick them in this game on Sunday afternoon against

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: the Patriots.

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 6: What's your take with that game?

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 4: Let me hear.

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 6: It's so good?

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: Yes, what's the better name there? In fact, Taylor put

58
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: that on the pole. Jared Stidham or Jared Stickham?

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 6: What's the better name?

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 7: Would be a great cornerback name. I don't know about

61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 7: a quarterback name.

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: So I said this morning, it would be a great

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: wide receiver name. Now that I'm thinking about it, Sticking

64
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: would be a great linebacker name, right, Yeah.

65
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 6: It kids. It's a big hit, like hit stick.

66
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 7: But I think of like sticking somebody, like covering somebody

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 7: and stick to him like glue.

68
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 6: So that's why I think of a cornerback.

69
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: So we'll get back to mad Dog in a second,

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: his former partner Mike Francessa, and I grew up listening

71
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: to these two guys, Mike and the Mad Dog wfa

72
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: N the reason I got into this industry, and I

73
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: love both of them dearly, and I don't think either

74
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: would mind if I were making fun of them and

75
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: if they, if they do mind, I will say this respectfully.

76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 6: I don't care.

77
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: Mike Francessa was on his podcast trying to pronounce a

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: wide receiver's name that I easily pronounced it. Somehow Mike Francessa,

79
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: who was the greatest of all time at this he

80
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: had trouble with this name.

81
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 5: Go ahead, guys, Sam's having a really good year.

82
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Twelve touchdowns, four into septs.

83
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 6: Smith.

84
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 7: You know, it's amazing how many these house state you

85
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 7: know received, It's just in the league and flourished.

86
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 6: But Smith, uh whatever you that is Francessa.

87
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 3: Jackson Smith in Jigba is the name he was going for.

88
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 7: I have said on our podcast Dugats and Company several

89
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 7: times that it is possibly the most surprising thing about you, Stu,

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 7: and that's saying a lot, is that you're able to

91
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 7: just drop that name like it's nothing.

92
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 6: It just rolls off your tongue.

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 7: You can't say the plural or the singular, I'm not

94
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 7: sure of woman, no, no, but you can say Jackson

95
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 7: Smith and Jigba.

96
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I just butchered Eddie Erickson. Right, well, you swallowed

97
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: the crack bat of Yes, it's the E and the e. Right,

98
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: that's the time, right when you're talking a little bit

99
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: too quickly. It's the E and the e. Uh, that

100
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 2: kind of I got caught up on. So let's go

101
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: back to dog here. So again, we we had dog

102
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: first with stick Hum and then we had Mike Francessa

103
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: trying to pronounce He just called him Smith, and he

104
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: would have been better off just calling him.

105
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 7: Say, he would have been better off just going off

106
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 7: on that tangent that he was going off originally about

107
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 7: Ohio state and never revisiting the name.

108
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 5: Jays En was right there for him.

109
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's why I do it. Yes, that's exactly right.

110
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: So Taylor, just quickly here, we're gonna go back to

111
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: Doggie here, who tries to pronounce the same name.

112
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 6: But this is from a year ago, correct?

113
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 5: Correct? I knew at some point dog had to get

114
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 5: tripped up saying this name. So I went back, listened

115
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 5: to all the shows and found a time from last

116
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 5: year when Gino Smith was still the quarterback.

117
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 6: All right, guys, play it.

118
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 4: The Seahawks blocked a forty eight yard field goals four

119
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: minutes left, which would have put the Patch up six.

120
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: That was a big play in this game. Smith played

121
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 4: well and his receivers.

122
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 3: Metcalf court ten.

123
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: Jackson Smith, the good Juba, the kid from Ohio State.

124
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 4: He cought twelve more and a Seattle team is two

125
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: and oh they get my at me next week without tours,

126
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 4: so they got a good chance to go three and zero.

127
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 6: He should just call the kid from Ohio State. That

128
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 6: was just so everybody understands.

129
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 7: Look, I know I butchered the heck out of that name,

130
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 7: but if you know anything about football, the kid from

131
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 7: Ohio States, that's the one I was pronounced.

132
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 3: So, by the way, those two the greatest to ever

133
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: do this.

134
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 6: Yes, I love them, I do is he.

135
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: I am having a hard time and Chris Sims is

136
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: going to join us, and I know you want to

137
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: play an NBA game with us, and we'll do that

138
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: coming up in the next epic. Because I want to

139
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: do it, I have to start shifting my attention to something.

140
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: And it's not pictures and catchers. It's going to be

141
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: the NBA. Perhaps March Madness, Uh, definitely augusta U. But

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: so I do want to play this game today. Mikey

143
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: has his mid out. Why do you have a glove out?

144
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: A catcher's glove. What are you doing back there p's

145
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: and c's. Yes, uh so I do want to shift

146
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: my focus to the NBA. So we will play this game,

147
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: and I PROMI issue that Taylor will not hijack the

148
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: game with a game that he would rather play.

149
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 6: I don't believe any of it. What do you mean

150
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 6: you don't believe that. I don't believe any of it.

151
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 7: There was one show I was promised we would talk basketball.

152
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 6: We didn't. Then I don't believe we're gonna do it today.

153
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 6: But we'll see.

154
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: All Right, Taylor, you're gonna let him play this game.

155
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm begging you to let him play this game with us.

156
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, we could get to the Freddie perraulta trade.

157
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: After Stevie Cohen finally spending some money, met fans are

158
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: finally happy. I think I have no idea, but I

159
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: maintain that. I know Colin Cowhor disagrees. The Dodgers awful

160
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: for the sport of baseball, just terrible. They're terrible for

161
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: the sport of baseball. It is not good to have

162
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: that much in balance. I know, once you get to

163
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: the postseason, things are random, but that team is guaranteed

164
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: to make it to the postseason every single season, and

165
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: they won the World Series the last two years. It's unfair,

166
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: and they keep adding on players. It's ridiculous, it's absurd,

167
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: and I don't care who the Mets at. They have

168
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: no chance of beating the Dodgers at the best of sevensaries.

169
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 6: But I digress.

170
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 7: This whole front page of No is just Mets editions,

171
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 7: and you're still just killing the Dodgers for adding too

172
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 7: many people.

173
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: I want you to understand something.

174
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: The show sheet that Taylor puts together would be for

175
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: Taylor if he were hosting this show.

176
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 7: I mean that is so true because I circled something

177
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 7: or not to get us off on a tangent here,

178
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 7: but I circled something in here that it just feels

179
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 7: like he just wants us to ask.

180
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 6: What his deal is with this particular subject.

181
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 7: Because it says is it time for the SEC to retire?

182
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 7: It just means more. I don't think that's a very

183
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 7: long conversation. I just think that's Taylor an acc guys saying,

184
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 7: you know what SEC.

185
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 6: Take that you don't deserve that anymore? Am I right?

186
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: Taylor?

187
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad you brought that up because the SEC

188
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 5: was four and ten in ball season this season. Yes,

189
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 5: but two of those four wins were against other SEC teams.

190
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 5: The third was Ole Miss beating two Lane and then

191
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 5: the fourth was Texas beating Michigan and Texas Texas's Johnny

192
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 5: come Lately when it comes to the SEC. So, SEC,

193
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 5: if you're gonna say it just means more, start winning

194
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: when it actually matters. Because three straight years the big ten.

195
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you easy for letting me get that off.

196
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 6: You just check that out the list that one's done.

197
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 7: I'll see if there's a couple more in there that

198
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 7: we should chime in on later of the show.

199
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: So, Izzy, I am having a hard time, which is

200
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: which is rare for me, at least getting excited.

201
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: About Championship Sunday in the NFL.

202
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: Now there's a tinge of sadness that comes with Championship Sunday.

203
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: You're excited for it, you can't wait to watch the games,

204
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: but you also realize we have three football games left

205
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 2: before mikey A pulls out his catcher's glove and starts

206
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: thinking about p's and c's pitchers and catchers reporting the

207
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: spring training.

208
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 6: That glove looks like it's from eighteen hundred. It is.

209
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 8: Just bought it.

210
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: Did you really how much is a glove these days? Yeah?

211
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: They're expensive? Right, Yeah?

212
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 8: I talked I talked him down to about forty dollars

213
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 8: on this one. I just want it easy to know.

214
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 8: This is where my head's at.

215
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I think when we play the NBA game, I

216
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: have that love on the entire time. Please, So I'm

217
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: having a hard time getting myself excited for Championship Sunday

218
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: because the storylines to me just aren't that interesting. And

219
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you're experiencing the same thing. Let me

220
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: elaborate for just a second. Please, Sam Darnold winning his

221
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: first Super Bowl, Like, that's not a big it's not

222
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: a big enough storyline for me. Seattle, great team, fourteen

223
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: and three, they're the one seed, they're a home game

224
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: away from making it to the super Bowl. Apologies to Seattle.

225
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: I just don't care about that team enough, Okay, I

226
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: really do. Then you have you know, you have Denver

227
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: with Jared Stickham corner back, and maybe there's a storyline

228
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: there with Sean Payton winning his second Super Bowl, which

229
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: puts him in an entirely different category when you're talking

230
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: about the greatest coaches of all time, especially if you

231
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: win one with your backup quarterback Jared Stickham.

232
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 6: So you have that storyline.

233
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 7: People sitting at home saying, wow, I really want to

234
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 7: coach to win number two.

235
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: Right Sean and that coach in particular, Sean Payton.

236
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: And then you have Matthew Stafford, who was going for

237
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: his second Super Bowl since leaving Detroit, and Stafford that

238
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: would put him in a different category of quarterbacks in

239
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: terms of how we kind of look back at these things.

240
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: And a guy with two Super Bowl rings. And I

241
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: guess a lot of people are probably rooting for the

242
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: veteran Matthew Stafford because he seems like a good guy,

243
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: very popular guy, and I think people are rooting for

244
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: him to pull it off. And then you have the

245
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: Patriots and can they kind of turn it around this

246
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: quickly and be the most dominant team in the NFL again?

247
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 6: Last the last Patriots Super Bowl win? What year was that?

248
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: Taylor would know and he'll look it up.

249
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 6: Well, he's a new new Patriots fan, so I don't

250
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 6: know if he knows right off a long six years. Yes, Patriots,

251
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 6: Oh my.

252
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: No, they've done a remarkable job.

253
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: They have a Gibbob Kraft, credit, got the right coach

254
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: in there, they got the right quarterback in there, and

255
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: they have a really good shot because they're taking on

256
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: Jared Stickham in the AFC Championship Game, so they have

257
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: a good shot of advances.

258
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 6: Thank you, Thank you, guys.

259
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: But I really just I really just have none of

260
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: the storylines that I just kind of laid out for you.

261
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: They mean nothing to me, and I'm not certain they

262
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: mean anything to anyone nationally unless you live in one

263
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: of those four markets, you know.

264
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 7: And it's funny because normally the NFL just transcends all

265
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 7: there's always enough there.

266
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 6: There seems to be, and you.

267
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 7: Know, most people would say, I don't need storylines to

268
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 7: show me good football, and I think that's not true,

269
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 7: especially when it comes to, you know, the biggest game

270
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 7: of the year that you have two weeks of build

271
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 7: up for.

272
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 6: So it's yeah, I think you can cheer.

273
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 7: For the best Super Bowl possibility, which would probably be

274
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 7: Rams Patriots, and that's what you're pulling for. And I

275
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 7: think the Rams and the way their offense runs. I

276
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 7: think Gunakua just as a football player, is just phenomenal

277
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 7: to watch because it feels like any the ball anywhere

278
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 7: in his vicinity, he can always get there. So there's

279
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 7: enough entertainment to where it's like, all right, I'm good

280
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 7: for these two games, but in comparison to most conference

281
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 7: championship weekends, it feels a little empty.

282
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: It does, by the way, if Sean Payton did win,

283
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: Like of the coaches who have won this is interesting,

284
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: of the coaches who have won multiple Super Bowls who

285
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: have done it with the worst quarterbacks, because I would say,

286
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: like Drew Brees great obviously, Jared Stickham not so great.

287
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 2: And if he wins this one, that's that's fairly impressive

288
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: winning two games, the AFC Championship Game and the Super

289
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: Bowl with your backup quarterback. If people are comparing it

290
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: to Jeff Hostetler, it is not that is not the

291
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 2: same situation.

292
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 7: I would like Jared'stidham to survive a quarter before we

293
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 7: start talking about him winning two games and one of

294
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 7: them being the Super Bowl.

295
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 6: Let's just see how he survives a quarter.

296
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: But I'm just wondering of the coaches, I think it's

297
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: Parcels now that I'm thinking about it. Els won one. Now,

298
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 2: Phil Simms was a good quarterback. A lot of people

299
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: feel like he should be in the Hall of Fame.

300
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: Chris Sims, his son will join us later on the show.

301
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: But Parcels won with Phil Simms and Jeff Hostetler. M

302
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: now Hostetler Sims got hurt.

303
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 7: I think twelve games into that season, Hostetler had four

304
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 7: games to ramp up get ready for the playoffs, and

305
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 7: then took that team to the Super Bowl.

306
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: They beat the Buffalo Bills in that Super Bowl. And

307
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to think of the coaches who have

308
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: won Super Bowls with the worst quarterbacks, of the coaches

309
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: who have won multiple Super Bowls, because I think if

310
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: we just said one super Bowl would be Trent dilferd.

311
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 8: Right, Belichick, one with a backup Tom Brady. Ye, that

312
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 8: first year it was Drew Bledsoe.

313
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, But he didn't win with anyone else.

314
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: That's the problem, you know, it was just Brady.

315
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

316
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm just having a hard time getting myself excited for

317
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: uh and it seems weird.

318
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 6: It's such a weird feeling.

319
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: It's Championship Sunday, and I can't get myself excited because

320
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: I don't care about Seattle and zan Donald, Yes, so.

321
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 7: Much so that I spent that entire time wondering if

322
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 7: it was tinge of sadness or twinge of sadness. And

323
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 7: it is tinge of sadness technically. But if you look

324
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 7: at the definition, they both work.

325
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah they do.

326
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 6: How about that you don't look up the quarterbacks? I didn't.

327
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 6: I didn't. I looked at the show sheet. Taylor wasn't

328
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 6: in there. Yes, information not there. Thank your contribution. What

329
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 6: do you got, Taylor?

330
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 5: Stud What if you look at it from the angle

331
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 5: of right now, Matthew Stafford in the club of the

332
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame, Matthew Stafford's probably fifteenth twentieth in line.

333
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 5: His stats are a little underwhelming in comparison to other

334
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Yes, but if Stafford is able

335
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 5: to win a second Super Bowl, I think he goes

336
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 5: to the front of the line.

337
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 6: So what do you Why is he in line?

338
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 7: By the way, he's not in line. He already has

339
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 7: the bracelet, He's guaranteed it. He's about to win MVP

340
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 7: at age thirty seven.

341
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: No, so I think what Taylor's trying to say, if

342
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: I can correct you, here is Matthew staff and is

343
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: he is right, Stafford's already in the Hall of Fame,

344
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: but he's in a different room. He's in the room

345
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: of people with one ring. Okay, so you're saying, what

346
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: happens to him if he wins a second ring? He

347
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: goes to a very special room, Taylor. He does, like

348
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: to use your analogy or however you laid it out

349
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: for us. He is technically if he was waiting to

350
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: get into this lame club in Canton called the Pro

351
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame. And I got to tell you,

352
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: if you've never been to Canton, Wow, there's the Pro

353
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame surrounded by strip clubs. It's a

354
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: weird place, it really is. But what Taylor is saying

355
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: is how much would this move Matthew Stafford up? And

356
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: it would move him up drastically in my opinion, because

357
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: now you're talking about a quarterback that has multiple Super

358
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: Bowl championships. He's going to be a first ballot.

359
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 7: Hall of Famer and he's going to go into a

360
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 7: very special room if he does have two rings.

361
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 6: Now with Taylor, is that what you meant? Kida?

362
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 5: Yeah? And also Ricardo here in the VIP room with me.

363
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 5: He pitched that maybe Joe Gibbs winning with Rippin and

364
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 5: Thighsman should be in consideration.

365
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 6: That's a good one. And Campbell it was Doug Williams.

366
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 5: Williams, Doug Williams, Yeah.

367
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: Who's Campbell? I'man Jason Campbell.

368
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 6: Who's Ricardo? Put it on the Paul Taylor, Who's Ricardo? Yes?

369
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 6: Or no? Oh?

00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 7: tire Rack player of the Day. Taylor clearly chose this.

380
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 7: It's courtesy of the Knicks Radio Network.

381
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 9: Bruntson crossover, dribblab for Robinson, who slams it down.

382
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 6: I'm such a fan of how often we're starting to

383
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 6: see this play.

384
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 9: Crowd rises to its feet Wolf straight on three pointer

385
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 9: is good.

386
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 6: It's one twenty to sixty six.

387
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 9: It will not be the lowest scoring fourth quarter by

388
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 9: a Knick's opponent, but it will be the largest margin

389
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 9: of victory in the history of the New York Knicks

390
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,720

391
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 9: sixty six.

392
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 6: Is that Monica mcnutt's voice I heard there?

393
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, listen, that's how you do a get right game.

394
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: By the way, a tail of the players only meeting work.

395
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 6: How about that?

396
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, some conflicting reports there. Because Josh Hart

397
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 5: was asked about it after the gaming, he goes, I

398
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 5: don't know where you guys got that. We didn't have

399
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 5: a meeting. We might have just talked in the locker room.

400
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 6: What the heck do you think of meetings? Right? A

401
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 6: talk where the coaches there.

402
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: But when does a talk go from a talk to

403
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 5: a meeting?

404
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 3: When Jalen Brunson says it's a meeting, that's it, I mean,

405
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: it worked.

406
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: Who cares?

407
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 2: They blew him out? All right, Dan, stay here for

408
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: a second. Because you're a professional, you pronounce everything right.

409
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 6: Is it?

410
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 7: Robert or Robert the guy the trade? Are you answer

411
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 7: that question, Well, do we know the player's first name?

412
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 6: Luise? Okay, so that's maybe a hint. Yes.

413
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 2: Now, Taylor this morning said Luis Robert, and he was

414
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: corrected by Salacata on our podcast. He said it is

415
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: Luise Robert Jr. And I am going to Dan Byer.

416
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: Whatever he says, it sticks. Dan, I've said, Robert.

417
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 5: Really, that's devastating.

418
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 6: I've heard nothing but Robert. I'll tell you what.

419
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 10: For a guy for years, I couldn't remember if it

420
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 10: was Devers or Divers, you know, with Raphael Devers, but Robert,

421
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 10: I've stuck with Robert. I've been on the side of

422
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 10: Robert for the last season or so.

423
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question, Dan, because I

424
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: used to do updates, I'm wondering, is there a name

425
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: that you're terrified of? Is you see it on the update?

426
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: You know you have to put it down there. Yeah,

427
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: mentioned that name and you're terrified of it.

428
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 10: Two huge names. And this may date me a little bit.

429
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 10: I didn't call their scores, but Jerry Rice with the

430
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 10: double RS like it was like it would be Jerry Weiss,

431
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 10: like that's what it would come out with. Arnold Palmer

432
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 10: with the double l's right, and then always messing up

433
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 10: Russell Westbrook with Russell Wilson, Kevin Garnett, Kevin Durant.

434
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 6: Those are the ones.

435
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: But you hate when the tennis majors are going on

436
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 3: right like that.

437
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 10: That's not That's why you only say Novak Djokovic advanced

438
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 10: to the third round. That's the easiest way to get

439
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 10: through it.

440
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 6: Or the joker. Yes, yes, that's even better. Taylor.

441
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 7: How shocked are you that Stu Gatz used to do

442
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 7: updates when he can't do the most basic of names

443
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 7: his own friends' names.

444
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, at this point nothing really surprises me with Steve

445
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 5: Gotts in his background and just a tile loose end

446
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 5: Bard up Ricardo back here. Yeah, he said he's Cuban

447
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 5: and it's Robert.

448
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 6: Thank you. Wow.

449
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 7: I know there's never been a Hispanic person in the

450
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 7: history of time named Lewis Robert.

451
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 6: It doesn't make any sense, I know.

452
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 3: But Dan Buyer says it's Robert.

453
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 10: If he was l o U I s, would you

454
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 10: be more apt to think that it was Robert.

455
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 6: Yes, such a great point by you.

456
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 7: If it was spelled the true well, I should say

457
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 7: the traditional way. But l O U I S. Yes,

458
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 7: Luis Robert would make sad Lewis Robert.

459
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: Yes, that is exactly what's going on here.

460
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: So who do we go with?

461
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: I'm confused. I'm not certain who's righting.

462
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 6: Do we go with the Cuban or the American.

463
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We'll get to

464
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: your calls in a second. Is he wants to play

465
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: an NBA game? By the way, my agent texted me

466
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: and he said that, uh, Tom Flores one two would

467
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: Jim Plunket. It's not bad my agent, Lou, Thank you, Lou,

468
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Is he wants to play an NBA game.

469
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: So I walked outside for a second during the break.

470
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: I came back in and what I found is he

471
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: doing was muttering under his breath about the Offensive Player

472
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 2: of the Year award.

473
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 11: I feel like I'm sabotaging my own game here, But

474
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 11: I looked at it right, and it's just brought back

475
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 11: anger that I woke up with today when I saw

476
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 11: the NFL MVP finalist and the Offensive Player of the

477
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 11: Year finalists, and it's.

478
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 6: Like, what are those awards?

479
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 7: So the MVP's, you know, the finalists are include Drake,

480
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 7: may include obviously Matthew Stafford and all the other quarterbacks,

481
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 7: and then Christian McCaffrey, and then there's.

482
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 6: Offensive Player of the Year.

483
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 7: And Drake May is an Offensive Player of the Year,

484
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 7: but none of the other quarterbacks are an Offensive Player

485
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 7: of the Year.

486
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 6: So what remind me? What side of the ball do

487
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 6: quarterbacks play? Offense?

488
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 7: So how are you the Offensive Player of the Year

489
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 7: and not the MVP, or if you are the MVP,

490
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 7: I'm sorry. If you're not the MVP, like Drake May

491
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 7: probably won't be, he'll be second. How is he even

492
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 7: a candidate for Offensive Player of the What do you mean?

493
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 6: It makes no sense?

494
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 8: Uh huh because best player that doesn't play quarterback is

495
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 8: too long.

496
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 7: But he's a quarterback and he's on the Offensive Player

497
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 7: of the Year list and he's not the best quarterback

498
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 7: on the MVP list.

499
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 6: So what does that mean?

500
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 7: Does Matthew Stafford do something to make him the MVP

501
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 7: that does not involve offense? Because somehow Drake May already

502
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 7: just based on the nominations, is a better offensive player

503
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 7: than Matthew Stafford, But somehow Matthew Stafford is going to

504
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 7: be the MVP.

505
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, look what does it means? Hey guys? Look,

506
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 6: who cares about football?

507
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 4: Now?

508
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 6: I don't care about football.

509
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 7: I care about things that make sense, and that makes

510
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 7: no sense.

511
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 5: This was also in my show Prep too, So this

512
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 5: is the pot calling the kettle black right now because

513
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 5: he went to a topic straight off my topic. List

514
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 5: your thoughts, Taylor, just give all the awards to Drake May.

515
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 6: I mean, it's stupid, but why do you care so

516
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 6: much about this stuff? I don't care about it. It's

517
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 6: just like saying running back of the Year versus rusher

518
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 6: of the year. It's this.

519
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 5: It should be the same thing.

520
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 7: So if you want to exclude quarterbacks from Offensive Player

521
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 7: of the Year, I'm fine with that. But don't include

522
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 7: the second place dude from the MVP quarterback group into

523
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 7: the Offensive Player of the Year group.

524
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 6: It makes no sense.

525
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 2: I promise we'll get to is he's NBA game. He's

526
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: unhinged right now. Let's go to Lenny and Fort Wayne.

527
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 12: Lenny, go ahead, Hi, this is a Lenny from Fort Wayne.

528
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 6: We established that is.

529
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 12: I want to say that the twenty five Hoosiers are

530
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 12: so special because they won every game and they won

531
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 12: all the playoff games. Thanks, I'll hang up in Leonard.

532
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 6: That's a great call Lenny. Who was that?

533
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 7: Way to go Leonard, Just just to recap, the Hoogiahs

534
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 7: are so special because they won every game, Yes, and

535
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 7: they won every playoff.

536
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 3: Taylor, do we have to get Benny from Fort Lauderdale?

537
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 3: Do you we have to get that call? Right?

538
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 6: Because that was that was Lenny Lenny. It's a totally

00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 6: different Oh yeah, but I love that so much. God,

Speaker 2: with the listeners, laugh with the callers, and uh.

00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,959

Speaker 12: Got how do you protounce that wide receiver's day from

00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 6: I'm not answering that. Ques. Come on, Mikey, you want

561
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 6: to take that question, go ahead. I don't think Mikey

562
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 6: can say his name as well as you can.

563
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: No, I'm good Jackson, Jackson Smith and Jigba Okay, it's

564
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: that I could say that name.

565
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 6: And guys, please get the Eddie ericson.

566
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: Sads here for the front the first segment, because I

567
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: too mispronounced words.

568
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 6: I do it often.

569
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: I'm probably the greatest to ever do it. Here's me

570
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: trying to say my friend's name who I know. It's

571
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: an easy name to say, and I've known him for

572
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: fifteen years. Head said, and perhaps Eddie editor, Wow, I

573
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 2: et a roadblock that hurt my throat one more time?

574
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: You literally, perhaps Eddie edit, I choked on the eight,

575
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 2: the second eight. It sounds like you ate a roadblock

576
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: in the middle of that. I told you yesterday we're

577
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 2: not professional except for Izzy. I mean that's about it.

578
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: I mean I desperately want to play your NBA game.

579
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 2: I'm not certain you left us enough time here in.

580
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 6: The It's my fault. I was strictly going by Taylor

581
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 6: show sheet.

582
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: Here do you want to play the NBA game? I

583
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: am happy to play your game. Go ahead, take it away.

584
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 6: He let's do well, do we have enough time here?

585
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 3: Should we just be doing We have plenty of times?

586
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 6: Okay, well, it's not really a game necessarily, right, But.

587
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 7: If you think about sort of when trade activity is

588
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 7: most likely in the NBA, it's when teams feel like

589
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 7: the championship is up for grabs. Sometimes it could happen

590
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 7: in an off season where you look forward and you

591
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 7: look ahead and say, man, there really isn't that many

592
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 7: great teams. Let me see if I can make a

593
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 7: big move, have a big three, whatever, see if we

594
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 7: can win a championship.

595
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 6: Or it could happen in the middle of the season.

596
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 7: I'm trying not to look at Mikey as he taps

597
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 7: his catcher's mitt, trying to distract me at all costs.

598
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 7: You know, when you look at approaching the trade deadline

599
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 7: and there's some people available and you think, wow, I

600
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 7: could really elevate ourselves and become the champion this year.

601
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 6: And so.

602
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 7: You say all that to look around and say, does

603
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 7: this feel like a season where the championship is up

604
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 7: for grabs, and so the game I just want to

605
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 7: play with you. It's a very simple game. I think

606
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 7: even you would be all over this game. Does this

607
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 7: team feel like.

608
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 6: An NBA champion? All right, all right, it's a fun game, Taylor.

609
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 6: Easy for you. Mikey, you can pat that Mitt all

610
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 6: you want. I think you can play this game as well.

611
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 7: No, I love this game. That's one of the building

612
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 7: blocks of sports radio. Yes, we'll start with this. This

613
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 7: is a very easy answer here. They won it last year.

614
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 7: Do the OKAC Thunder feel like an NBA champion?

615
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 6: Yes, of course. Okay, we're at one.

616
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 7: Okay, the San Antonio Spurs with a young Victor Wembinyama

617
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 7: who you probably don't know.

618
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 6: This still on somewhat of a minute's restriction. Twenty eight

619
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 6: to thirty minutes.

620
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 7: Did the San Antonio Spurs in twenty twenty six feel

621
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 7: like an NBA champion?

622
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 3: Umm, I'm gonna say yes, Mikey.

623
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 8: What do you think the Bear had us bet them

624
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 8: to beat the Knicks in the finals.

625
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna have to say yes, yes, Taylor, Yes, yeah, Okay.

626
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 7: Having watched them play a good amount, I don't think

627
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 7: they feel like an NBA champion. I feel like Victor

628
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 7: Weinbinyama can give it to you certain nights, but four

629
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 7: out of seven in the playoffs, when teams are committed

630
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 7: to defending him, and it's not just a one off

631
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 7: of eighty two, I don't think they're ready yet. They

632
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 7: do not feel as a veteran NBA person, They don't

633
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 7: feel personally like an NBA champion.

634
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 6: But I'll give you those two. Okay, let's go to

635
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: the top of the East. Okay, the Detroit Pistons, who

636
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure you've spent a little bit of time watching.

637
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: I have Jalen Duran on my fantasy team, so I'm

638
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: not saying I watched them. I've looked at box scores.

639
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 6: Do they feel like an NBA champion?

640
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 5: Now?

641
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: Do the Pistons feel like an NBA champion? One seed

642
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 2: in the East. I have to talk this out. Thirty

643
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: two and ten one four straight, No, Jason Tatum. Do

644
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: they feel like an NBA champion or a team that

645
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: can make it to the NBA five champion that would

646
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: have been a better game.

647
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 6: Just champion. Do the Pistons feel like a champion? I'm

648
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 6: gonna say no, no, Jason Tatum. Just to be clear,

649
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 6: Jayson Tatum does not play for the Pistons.

650
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 5: Right, Jason Tatum. They don't have Jason Tatum.

651
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: Yes, the Celtics don't have Jason. Well, I'm at the Celtics.

652
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: I almost called you, but you know what, I almost

653
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: called you. By the way, Jason Tatum is not I

654
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: have to talk these things out. Let me do it

655
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: my way, okay, But I.

656
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 7: Just want you to know it's not can they win

657
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 7: an NBA title this year? That's a different game.

658
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: But part of winning one is getting there, and so

659
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: I have to convince myself they can get there before

660
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: I tell you they could win it.

661
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 7: Do they feel like an NBA champion doesn't really matter

662
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 7: about anybody else?

663
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 6: Are we going to do this for twenty seven other teams?

664
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 6: I mean, this is why I told you we didn't

665
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 6: have time.

666
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna say no on the Pistons. All right,

667
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say no, well, hold on, Mikey, yes or

668
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: no on the Pistons.

669
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 3: I agree, No, yeah, Taylor, No, the Pistons don't.

670
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, and let's just go to your other team, Okay,

671
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 7: The Celtics Celtics. Yes, we already established know Jason Tatum.

672
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 7: Although he looks pretty good when he's practicing and stuff.

673
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 7: I'm not sure where he's at right now, but he's

674
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 7: gonna be back.

675
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 6: Okay. The Celtics, do they feel like an NBA champ?

676
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 6: Not to me, No, Taylor.

677
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 5: I could buy into this team because of Jayalen Brown.

678
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 5: He could buy into it, so I would say a

679
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 5: different game.

680
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 6: It's a yes or no game, can you right?

681
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 5: I do have a feeling that they could.

682
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 6: So that's what that was, just the top two teams

683
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 6: in each company.

684
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: Hold on, we left out Mikey A. Mikey A and

685
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: he's shaking his head and discussed at Taylor.

686
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 5: I think, No, it's the Celtics.

687
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 8: They always feel like a champion.

688
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 5: It's one of those.

689
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 6: Teams like, yeah, you could convince me this is a

690
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 6: this is a championship team. But what what fact thats

691
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 6: do give us?

692
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 4: Though?

693
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 7: No, Jason Tata, right, So this team needed Jason Tatum

694
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 7: to win a championship and now they don't have them.

695
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 7: And even if he comes back, will you be the same?

696
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 7: But I don't believe they feel like an NBA champion.

697
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 7: The point being if you look around the league and

698
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 7: any team that I didn't name right there now, this

699
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 7: is without Denver, without Jokis. If they had Jokis, they

700
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 7: could feel like an NBA.

701
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 6: Champion, they would feel like an NBA championship.

702
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 7: But all of these teams that, even the ones that

703
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 7: we did mention, could look to themselves and say, we

704
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 7: can solidify ourselves as an NBA champion, faith championship favorite

705
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 7: with one move. And I feel like you look around,

706
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 7: I think eventually people are going to maybe say, okay,

707
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 7: maybe we'll give up a little bit for John Morant,

708
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 7: right as opposed to just trying to give away scraps

709
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 7: for him. You look at what's happening in Milwaukee now,

710
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 7: and maybe we'll play sound of a Janni Santatakupo saying,

711
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 7: is all his teammates are playing selfishly a little later,

712
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 7: but that move while he's not demanding a trade publicly.

713
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 7: According to Brian Winhorse, anyway, the hour by hour we

714
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 7: get closer and closer to.

715
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 6: Him making a move.

716
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 7: It feels like because of that whole concept of hey,

717
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 7: this this championship remains up for grabs no matter how

718
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 7: much we think, okay, so should be a favorite. I

719
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 7: think you're going to start to see a lot of

720
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 7: activity and people really pushing for the for the Yiannis

721
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 7: trade to happen, and even for John Morant trade.

722
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: Why did you try out one more team on me

723
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: and Taylor?

724
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 6: Just one more team? Just ask us, ask us the team. Okay,

725
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 6: do the New York Knicks feel like an NBA ship?

726
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 6: Hell yeah?

727
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 5: Add to that Cup championship.

728
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first team ever to win the Cup and

729
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: the NBA Championship in the same season.

730
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 6: That it's so crazy.

731
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 7: Even in Milwaukee, they're they're trying to convince themselves that

732
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 7: they're buyers. Like you talk to you know whatever, the

733
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 7: Beat writers or people over there, it's like, no, we

734
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 7: have Giannis, we add one more piece, we do this,

735
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 7: we can win a championship this year. And it's just

736
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 7: I think it's going to set up for some crazy discussions.

737
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 6: At the very least.

738
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 3: All Right, we have found the Benny and Fort Lauderdale call.

752
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: the Benny in Fort Lauderdale call. If you heard Lenny

753
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: in Fort Wayne call in last segment related what he

754
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: was years ago, many many years ago doing the show

755
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: with Dan. I think we were local doing the show locally.

756
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: We weren't national yet. We had a gentleman call in.

757
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: His name was Benny from Fort Lauderdale.

758
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 6: Here it is Benny in Fort Lauderdale. You're on seven ninety.

759
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 5: Hi, this is Benny for Fort Lauderdale.

760
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 6: We've established that. I want to say that the.

761
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 7: Seventy two Dolphins are so special because they won every game,

762
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 7: and then they won all the playoff games.

763
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 5: That's a pretty good call.

764
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 6: Who is this?

765
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 2: That was Mark Hockman or executive producer at the time,

766
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: I forgot the line I could have dropped now those

767
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: afternoons on WQAM here in Miami. That was hot coming

768
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: over the top at the end there. And Hawk will

769
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 2: be spending some time with us as we move forward

770
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: year on nine to forty Fox Sports Radio. He's just

771
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: not aware of it yet. How'd you feel about your

772
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: NBA game?

773
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 7: There?

774
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 4: Is?

775
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: You love it?

776
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 6: You're larger? Well, no, I did, because you were.

777
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 7: Trying to make a larger point. This is an odd

778
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 7: season where you can only really see one or two

779
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 7: teams winning an NBA championship.

780
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 3: That's odd for the NBA.

781
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 6: Usually there's two or three now or at their two least.

782
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 7: The team that's got the big lead in the conference

783
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 7: you're somewhat afraid of. And it's just you know, you

784
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 7: you think about how NBA playoff series are one, and

785
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 7: it's you've got to have a formula to be able

786
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 7: to overcome a team that is locked in to defend

787
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 7: you four out of seven times. And you look at

788
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 7: the Detroit Pistons and yeah, they have KD. Cunningham, but

789
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 7: how often you know, I've watched a lot of kid,

790
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 7: even before he broke through and finally became the All

791
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 7: Star and he's seen a lot of help, He's seen

792
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 7: a lot of defenders, but has he seen, you know,

793
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 7: the full bag of a really good coach and a

794
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 7: really good defensive team for three straight series? And if

795
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 7: that is something that you know he's off, will do

796
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 7: they have a secondary option where when things slow down, man, Mikey,

797
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 7: when things slow down, is giving the ball to Tobias

798
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 7: Harris in the mid post? Really something you feel great about,

799
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 7: you know, to take you through four basketball series.

800
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 6: So to me, it just feels like if.

801
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 7: I'm a GM been there for a while, I'm like,

802
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 7: this is the year I can turn my sixth seed

803
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 7: into a championship contender.

804
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 2: For the radio audience and that's all of you, Mikey.

805
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: The reason you heard, the reason you heard is he

806
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: make that sound about Mikey right in the middle of

807
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 2: his sentence. Is because Mikey, while he's trying to talk basketball,

808
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: not only has a catcher's mid on, but now he

809
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 2: has a mask.

810
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 6: What are you doing, I'm not doing anything?

811
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 5: Well, was that a Mikey drop?

812
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: That's Mikey saying he wasn't doing anything when all he

813
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: was doing was making sounds to distract us.

814
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 7: Now, Apparently that's become his thing, trying to distract whoever

815
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 7: speaking at the moment, I'm not doing anything.

816
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 6: It worked on you.

817
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: The problem with the NBA is that one team that

818
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: we can all see winning the NBA title, that we

819
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: can all feel it, and the most likely winner is

820
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: in a market that no one cares about. I say

821
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 2: that respectfully to Oklahoma City, but no one cares about

822
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 2: you except for the people living in Oklahoma City, Okay.

823
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: And that he and their superstars boring. That's a problem

824
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 3: for the NBA, y.

825
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 6: All that can be true.

826
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 7: I also not think. I also know it's very difficult

827
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 7: to repeat. As NBA champion said, no matter how set

828
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 7: up they are, they still had a lot of things

829
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 7: go in their favor. They had a handful of Game

830
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 7: sevens over the last couple of years. Had you know,

831
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 7: in Game seven for the championship where the best player

832
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 7: on the opposing team went down.

833
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 6: And so I'm going to tell you right now.

834
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna put too much on it, but I'm

835
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 7: pretty sure they're not going to win the NBA Championship

836
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 7: this year.

837
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 5: Just for context, Stu's most boring player in the last

838
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 5: game in their win scored forty points. He was sixteen

839
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 5: of nineteen from the field, and he had a double dump.

840
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 6: How many dunks?

841
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: How many dunks? Seriously, I mean how many mid range

842
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 2: jumpers was that? Honestly, he's a mid range jumper.

843
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 6: That's what he does.

844
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 2: That's his go to move is taking mid range jumpers. Okay,

845
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: I mean, do me a favor. If you're gonna be

846
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: the best player in the game, give me a windmill

847
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: dunk once in a while.

848
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 6: How does that sound like?

849
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan greatest of all time?
