00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: on the grill, Mozzi. We are ready to go for

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 3: the fourth And.

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 4: Before we get these burgers and hot dogs, you're treating

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: to some pizza, which you know is my favorite.

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 5: Yes, so thank you for that.

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: The reason be true story. I wanted to make sure

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: that my stomach muscles were ready for what I'm about

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 3: to eat after the show today, any of you, I

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: did not, Yes, I did not want to go in

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: on an empty stomach. When we've got burgers, dogs and

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: ribs corn on the cob ready to go, I'm like

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: I'm not going there on an empty stomach, then I

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: won't be able to enjoy it more. We're going to

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: allow the pizza that's on its way that I made

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: Ryan Berschinger get again, and he's going to bring us

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 3: this delicious goodness.

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, this is how we're gonna kick off the day.

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 5: I was wondering, I.

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 4: Wonder how many people at their own barbecues have their

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: own many hot dog eating contests.

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 5: I feel like that's something guys would do. How many

33
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 5: can you eat? How many can you eat? And then

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 5: they end up just passed out.

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: There's the timing aspect of it, and Joey Chestnut regains

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: his belt today, but it's the in the ten minutes

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: of it. Honestly, it's I feel it's similar to the

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: old pretzel gag, when like how fast could you eat

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: six pretzels that.

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 5: Like crunchy pretzels? Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, oh.

41
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: Yes, yes yes, and you think like, oh, let me

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: down them, and then like it's all, you know, clogged

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: up in your mouth and you just have this dough

44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: you're trying to chew and it takes it forever. I

45
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: feel like it's the same thing with hot dogs. Not exactly.

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 3: But the point is is if you rush like after three,

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 3: I think you're done.

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: Absolutely, no, absolutely, and then you know I'm super weird.

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 5: I don't put anything on my hot dog.

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: I don't either, I'm playing Jane.

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 5: Nothing like, don't give me anything.

52
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: And they're like, what like maybe like sometimes I'll have

53
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 4: like a veggie sausage and I can put like onions

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: and peppers.

55
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 5: But that's not a hot dog. That's like something else, correct,

56
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 5: you know, just a hot dog. I just want the

57
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 5: dog and the hot.

58
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: Are they veggie dogs?

59
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 6: Now?

60
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

61
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 5: And you wouldn't even notice. You wouldn't even notice if

62
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 5: I handed you a veggie dog.

63
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: I was sam to hot dogs, did not take veggie dogs.

64
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: Isaac Clown's Cron's been giving you the thumbs down.

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: He really has been.

66
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: Oh what is our pizza here? I know this is not?

67
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 3: Is it here? There is all right there? It is

68
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: the za is here?

69
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 7: Perfect?

70
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 5: Also?

71
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: Am I talking with my hands a lot? I know

72
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: I do, but you were just mocking me, like.

73
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 5: I'm not mocking you. I was just using my hand.

74
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: Oh I thought you were doing it.

75
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 4: No, those hands, look at I always use my hands too,

76
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: So no, that was that was just me.

77
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 5: That's just me being animated on this Sport of July.

78
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: I'll use my hands to signal this.

79
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 8: I've watch twenty twenty five. I'm watch twenty twenty five.

80
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: The latest from the Lebron James watch in twenty twenty five.

81
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: There's a lot. There's a lot going on. It started

82
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: out with Lebron James posting on Instagram his new passion

83
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: and I honestly want to read into everything and make

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: fun of everything and be like, my goodness, Lebron, how

85
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: good you? But Lebron was playing golf and I am

86
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: here for it. I loved it until I turn the

87
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: sound on of this Instagram story and listen. Not safe

88
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: for kids. Yes, if you're driving around and you want

89
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: to hear it, and you're gonna listen to Lebron James

90
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: play golf on ig by all means just do it.

91
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: Don't do it around where kids are. Yeah, yes, don't

92
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: want to. We can't play it on a national network. Lebron, though,

93
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: hits a shot in his second video of four all

94
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: te shots by the way, which is gutsy. Because people

95
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: will critique your swing, they will make comments about it.

96
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: It's easier to make like an eight foot putt and

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: be like, great putt, Yeah, way to go, dog, good shot.

98
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: He's just off the tee. But the great thing about

99
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: recording shots off the tee, most of the time, you

100
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: really don't have any idea where they go, except when

101
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: Lebron James. If you're driving down a fairway that's at

102
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: twelve o'clock on a clock, he hits a t shot

103
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: and it's he looks right to three o'clock like it

104
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: is right of right, it is so right it is left.

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: But and he popped it up. So because he looked

106
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: straight up in the air, it was an awful shot.

107
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: But whoever was recording goes good bleep. That was like,

108
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: you know, now they're trying to trick us because Lebron

109
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 3: just popped one up off the toe one hundred yards

110
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: to the right, not even close to the fairway, and

111
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: they're trying to convince you that all right now, he

112
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: smoked one, smoked one down the fairway. It did not happen.

113
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: It just it did not Like that's you don't look

114
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: directly right when you hit one down the fairway. So

115
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: even though the guy goes good bleep, it was not.

116
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: He was in the bleep. I guarantee you that, but

117
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: I love that Lebron was was active and out there,

118
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: and I didn't recognize the course. It didn't look like

119
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 3: a southern California course. And that's when it all started.

120
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: Because then, Mancy, as we continue on our day long

121
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: event of not watch twenty twenty five, we'll watch twenty

122
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: twenty five. Lebron James was spotted at the Calves practice

123
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: facility today. The ball Out media gave us the heads

124
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: up that Lebron was there in slippers, no shirt and sweatpants,

125
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 3: which is how I will be showing up to the

126
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: barbecue later today with a player that was at the

127
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: Cavs facility as well. And Lebron then took to the

128
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: tweets because of course Monty it is.

129
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 8: You've not watched twenty twenty five. Not watched twenty.

130
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: Twenty an hour ago, tweeted, I've been here every summer

131
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: since it was built. I live here still and train

132
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: every summer. You'll all are board, Go get a plate

133
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: of food somewhere and enjoy the Fourth of July. So

134
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: he's all over social media on the fourth of July.

135
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: There's the welcome home hat that he wore over the

136
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: last couple of days. There is so much going on

137
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: with Lebron James since the news of him signing his

138
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: extension and what could happen that I just feel that

139
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: none of this, none of this is natural, that there's

140
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: something behind it all. So as much as I want

141
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: him to love golf, it's not natural.

142
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely everything he does is calculated, and I'm loving all

143
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: of this as well. We spoke to our NBA insider

144
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: Mark Medina in the first hour, and he sounds so

145
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 4: confident that Lebron is going to finish his career as

146
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 4: a Laker, and I cannot believe that. I don't think

147
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: he finishes his career as a Laker. I think they're

148
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: figuring out what exactly people are gonna.

149
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: Give up for him.

150
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: There's reports that nobody wants to, you know, deplete the

151
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 4: roster to get Lebron James, and I think he knows that.

152
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: So all of this is just setting up for a

153
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: big move, the decision coming in twenty twenty five. Again,

154
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: the decision fifteen years ago. I think it was the

155
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: first one. Yeah, right, And so he had the information

156
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: that we also got was of this past week of

157
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: Rich Paul saying that he values, you know what, the

158
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 4: winning another championship and knows that the Lakers are moving

159
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: in the direction of the future, but he values wanting

160
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: to win right now. You're not gonna win right now

161
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: with the Lakers. You have a much easier path. As

162
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: we've talked about going back to the East, he has

163
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: to go back to Cleveland.

164
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 5: That's the only logical move here. He can't go anywhere else.

165
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 5: Don't give me the Knicks, don't give me.

166
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: The MAVs are interested. If he buys out with the Lakers.

167
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: They want to take him. No, the only way Lebron

168
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: can kind of salvage the end of his career because

169
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: right now, during our pre show meeting, both said at

170
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: pervles like, I feel like he's been around so long,

171
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: but the end of his career leaves a bit of

172
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 4: a bad taste in your mouth, and it's more of

173
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: that he's a little.

174
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 5: Bit annoying that he's like, oh, Lebron around right, but

175
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: here we are.

176
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: I feel like if he went back to Cleveland and

177
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: then ended his career there, it would be a much

178
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: more positive ending to the Lebron James era.

179
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: I agree. I think that that would be a welcome

180
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: site for him.

181
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 9: Hmm.

182
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: I don't know how many Calves or Calves fans would

183
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: feel it. But again, if this was next year, if

184
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: we fast forwarded to next year, Monzi and the Calves

185
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: fell out in the Eastern Conference semifinals like they did

186
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: this year, I think that they would be more willing

187
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: to accept that. But right now, when Lebron left the

188
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: Cavaliers to go to the Lakers, it wasn't like the

189
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: decision in twenty ten. This was an understanding that both

190
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 3: sides were probably going to part ways anyway. The Calves

191
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: were kind of done with what went on, and Lebron

192
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: wanted something new that we felt was likely to end

193
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 3: up in Los Angeles, and it did. And so now

194
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: the Calves can say we started from the bottom then

195
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: without Lebron, and now we've been able to make moves.

196
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: We've had draft picks, we've got Donovan Mitchell, we've got

197
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: these pieces. We had the best record in the East

198
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: this year, and maybe if they were healthy, they could

199
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: have put more for them, an competition or resistance to

200
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: the Indiana Pacers, maybe win that series. Who knows, But

201
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: that's I think what you're saying is a Cavs fan

202
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: right now. But if you were to lose next year,

203
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 3: then you say, Okay, we need to shake something up

204
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: because this isn't working. We need something different, and I

205
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: think would be open to Lebron. I think that all

206
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: of this. I think Lebron plays for the Lakers next season.

207
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: I don't think he plays for them. I think he's

208
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna play two or three more years.

209
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: So it's the Lakers one season and then after that

210
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: it's his new team. But all of this stuff to

211
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 3: your point of how what Rich Paul is saying, the

212
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: words that they use the Lakers building for the future

213
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily mean that Lebron wants to go and win championships.

214
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: What it also means is, hey, if I stay in LA,

215
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: it's not my fault because they didn't. They are looking

216
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: for the future. But I'm still here even though my

217
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: goal is for the championship, and I want you fans

218
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: to know that I'm all about titles. They are the

219
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: ones that made the decision to try to go young,

220
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: and it takes all of the pressure off of him.

221
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: So everything that is done with a welcome home hat

222
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: to playing golf and what I believe is probably suburban

223
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: Akron somewhere at a golf course to all of that

224
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: happening to showing up at the Cavs facility, all of it,

225
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: All of it is contrived from what happened last Sunday.

226
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: And I've just looked on Twitter just to scan during

227
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: the break and how many tweets Lebron is tweeted about

228
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: the same amount in the first four days of July

229
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: then he did all of June. Oh yeah, so's there's

230
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: a reason why that this is happening. Is now he

231
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,479
Speaker 3: is out there and he's a part of the conversation

232
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,359
Speaker 3: because he wants to be a part of the conversation

233
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: and he knows what's at stake.

234
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily agree with you on the sense that

235
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 4: him saying that the Lakers are trying to plan for

236
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: the future and that takes pressure or blame off of

237
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: him in case it doesn't go well.

238
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 5: I actually don't think that. I think regardless of what.

239
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, he's gonna get blamed with the Lakers.

240
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 5: With the Lakers.

241
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: Agreed, yes, but Lebron's messaging, they're trying to say, we

242
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: will always think that like it's it's probably a burden

243
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: of Lebron. But I think that they're What they're trying

244
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: to say is I know you're gonna blame Lebron, but

245
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: don't because look at what they're doing, Look at how

246
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: they're doing it. It's spin mansie. They're just trying to

247
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: that's I know time.

248
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 5: I'm dizzy. I know I thought rings didn't matter, but

249
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: now they do matter. I'm dickey.

250
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: They matter to Lebron, they don't matter to the Lakers.

251
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: That's what I think they're trying to say, the Lakers

252
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: this year. And I truly believe that the Lakers were

253
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 3: the ones to say to Lebron, we we are going

254
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: to be going this this way. We're not going to

255
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: give you a one on one contract that he had

256
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: wanted that I feel that he probably would have wanted.

257
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: And when they said that we don't want you here

258
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: for the long term, his only option was to, I

259
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: feel opt in. I know he's got I always worth

260
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: the billion dollars, but you just, you know, turn fifty

261
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 3: two million dollars down. You just don't. Maybe you put

262
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: the pressure on them to make a move, and if

263
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 3: you end up staying in LA and get all your

264
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: affairs sorted and then leave after that on your own terms.

265
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: I just I don't think that. I don't think he

266
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: gets the money. He doesn't get the money that he

267
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: gets fifty two million dollars if he just opts out

268
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: and becomes a free agent, and the teams that he

269
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: would want to go to weren't ready to bring him

270
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: on board for the price egg that he would likely cost.

271
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 5: I hear what you're saying that he didn't have many options.

272
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 4: But at the same time, it does feel like maybe

273
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 4: there is right now who's gonna blink first, the Lakers

274
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: or Lebron Because this new ownership of the Lakers has

275
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 4: no ties to Lebron. There's no loyalty here that's going

276
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 4: to be broken, And I part of me wants to

277
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: think that Genie Buss and the Bus family were like,

278
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: this is the only way to get rid of Lebron,

279
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: and like cut this tie that we kind of got

280
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 4: ourselves into by selling the team, and now we can

281
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: say we're not making the decisions.

282
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 5: When you're talking about it's them, it's them.

283
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 4: There is no loyalty here, no reason for them to

284
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 4: be like, yes, Lebron, whatever you want.

285
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 5: Just like Genie Bus and Rap Polinka have been doing.

286
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 5: They don't have to do that.

287
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 4: And I am wondering if there is a bit of

288
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: a standoff here, a bit of who's going to blink first,

289
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: happening behind closed doors, and that's why he's doing all

290
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: of this.

291
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: Did you hear how I characterize the Lakers and Lebron's relationship.

292
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've because we haven't crossed paths.

293
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: I've called it a marriage built on convenience. There's marriages

294
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: that are that are that are made with the you know,

295
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: the partners are madly in love with each other, and

296
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: there are others that this works. This works for what

297
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: I want to do in life, and at some point,

298
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: when one side is getting too much or the other

299
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: side's being short changed, that's when it breaks off. And

300
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: that's what I think happened here. I don't know if

301
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: it was use the sale of the Lakers. I do

302
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: think it's the acquisition of Luka Danci changed everything, like

303
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: it changed on how the Lakers are going to chart

304
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: their future, and Lebron was not a part of that.

305
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: I think that if they don't acquire Luca, that Lebron

306
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: does get his one in one contract and then ends

307
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: up retiring as a Laker ultimately. But I do think

308
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: that they're they're not on the same page now. And

309
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: if you're seeing all of this in the first five

310
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: days since he's decided to opt in, what's it going

311
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: to be like for eighty two games in the season.

312
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: And that's what I to that point of. Even though

313
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: I think Lebron stays, I do wonder if you're Rob

314
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: Polinka and you're now saying, well, we can't have this

315
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: for all of next year. We can't have this three

316
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: ring circus moving on. It'd just be an absolutely toxic year.

317
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: And then to your point, I don't know if new

318
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: ownership would want to It would be different if it

319
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: was maybe the Bus family, but I don't know if

320
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: new ownership would put up with that.

321
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 4: I would love if he does, like if he starts

322
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: the season off with the Lakers and then he gets

323
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: like traded because of this environment, that how is DeAndre

324
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 4: Ayton going to handle this? He hasn't been able to

325
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 4: handle the lights in Phoenix, in Portland. Now he's coming

326
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 4: to the Lakers. There's pressure on DeAndre Ayton to do something.

327
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: Even though I don't like the way he has handled

328
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: himself in the NBA, to be honest, like, I.

329
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 5: Think he thinks he's better than he is.

330
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 4: But he's gonna go and play with Luca, which is

331
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: gonna be a great, you know, lobbing duo.

332
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: I can see that already.

333
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: But I do think there can be issues in the

334
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: locker room, and I can I just can't wait for

335
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 4: Lebron to be in a press conference and be like, well,

336
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 4: you know, things are real toxic in there.

337
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: If DeAndre Ayton was of value, I think we would

338
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 3: have heard a lot more teams. Absolutely absolutely, And so

339
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: now this is and I mean, didn't work out in Portland,

340
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: didn't work out in Phoenix. I don't know how it's

341
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: going to be different with LA. I think it's completely

342
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: that story is so overblown and so because everybody's injured

343
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: and the free agency period hasn't been like it was

344
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: what eight years ago when Kevin Durant ended up leaving

345
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors. Today was the anniversary of that,

346
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: I believe Bo said earlier. Because of that, like we

347
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 3: kind of we want something big to happen and it

348
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: hasn't necessarily, so we blow out of proportion. The DeAndre

349
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 3: Ayt and staff Oh, I'm.

350
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 4: With you, Like I don't get it. I understand that

351
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 4: they had no other options and this.

352
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 5: Is what you had to do. Like that's really what

353
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 5: it is. This is another marriage of convenience. I love that.

354
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 4: By the way, that was a perfect description. This seems

355
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 4: to be right now. This is convenient for us to

356
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: sign you on for a one year deal and.

357
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: Throughout, and I honestly think it's been convenience for his

358
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 3: entire time for the previous seven years. Oh yeah, it's

359
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: worked for both parties. It gave the Lakers a superstar,

360
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: and it gave Lebron a landing spot. He wanted to

361
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 3: go to La, wanted to be Hollywood, had his kids

362
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: in school. Now Bryce is going off to college. Browny's

363
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: obviously in the NBA. That all worked out, But now

364
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: it's a time for maybe a different part of his life.

365
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: And whether that's back in Cleveland where he's playing golf

366
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 3: or wherever, we shall see. But these signs are of

367
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 3: no coincidence. All planned here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey,

400

Speaker 3: Clone Crowns at the news desk Iowa. Sam our technical

401

Speaker 3: producer and Bo Benson is our executive producer. Isaac have

402
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: an update of what happened not only at the hot

403
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: dog eating contest, but what went down at Wimbledon today

404
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 3: and in Major League Baseball game already in the books,

405
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 3: a couple of games in the books as well on

406
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: this fourth of July. It is the balance, the delicate balance, Manzi,

407
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: of do you have day baseball because it's fourth of July,

408
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: or do you have night baseball so you can have

409
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: fireworks at the ballpark at fourth of July?

410
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: You have it all a little bit of everything, you

411
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. I think there's perks to having

412
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 4: an early game and then you can go home and

413
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: enjoy Fourth of July. At watch your on fireworks exactly exactly,

414
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 4: and then there's a perk of you, Oh, maybe you're

415
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: doing the barbecue thing right now, like in Los Angeles,

416
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 4: and then you're gonna go.

417
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 5: To the game. That's that's what's cool about it.

418
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: I think that the options depending on where you're at,

419
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 4: but that you can have it in.

420
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 5: The morning, in the afternoon, at night.

421
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 3: I mean, great, well, they're putting on quite a show

422
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: in New York.

423
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 5: Yeah they are.

424
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: Yankees have just taken a lead the Alien.

425
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: Yes, Jason Dominge is another homer. He homewred in the

426
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 4: first inning, so he's got in another one.

427
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna go as the wing is,

428
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: as you would, Yeah, there you go, there it is.

429
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: And the j I thought I was going to be like,

430
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 3: just yes, there it is. But five to three Yankees

431
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: up on the Mets. But Isaaco give us an update

432
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: again in about eight minutes or so of what is

433
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: happening throughout Major League Baseball and so much more. I

434
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 3: said earlier that if I were to watch fireworks from

435
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: a ballpark, it would be from PNC Park in Pittsburgh,

436
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: one of the great venues, and not only in baseball,

437
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 3: but in all of sports. Just down the block in Pittsburgh,

438
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers gave their general manager Omar Khan a

439
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: three year extension. He had been the GM with the

440
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: team since twenty twenty two, but he's now been with

441
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: the franchise for twenty five years, again keeping with the

442
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 3: family tradition of the Pittsburgh Steelers. But at what point

443
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 3: do you have to break from that and be the

444
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL winning championships? Because it hasn't happened.

445
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: It hasn't happened in a while. It's been a long time.

446
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: Super Bowl forty three the last time. It's now going

447
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 3: on seventeen seasons in the NFL that we haven't seen

448
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers win a Super Bowl, and they gave

449
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: Omar Khan a three year contract extension this week, Mancy

450
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: one that just has both you and me scratching our heads.

451
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, just like huh okay, because this whole off season

452
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: right now for the Steelers. You and I sat here

453
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 4: with Aaron Rodgers talking about it. How Aaron doesn't all

454
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 4: of a sudden help you win the division.

455
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 5: It keeps you afloat.

456
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 4: They've made some moves and you know, we'll see what

457
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: happens if they.

458
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 5: Make more moves. But it just seemed when I heard.

459
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 4: About this signing, I was like, oh, so you're cool

460
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 4: with just going through the motions here, You're okay with this,

461
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: which is what's shocking. Why now, why did you extend

462
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 4: him now? Don't you want to see what happens this

463
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 4: season before you maybe give him an extension?

464
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 3: You would think you would think you would.

465
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 4: Think, so you're just going, huh, okay, like you're cool

466
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: with just staying above five hundred.

467
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: Making all of those moves is one thing. Yeah, having

468
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: them work out to your point is an What is

469
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 3: also a completely other step is if it fails. You

470
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: obviously haven't shown the ability to really evaluate talent because

471
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: you've went in a way all in. You're all in

472
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: on Aaron Rodgers. You just swung a trade with the

473
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: Dolphins to bring in Jalen Ramsey again and John Ousmith.

474
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 3: You swung the deal with DK Metcalf and Jennison George

475
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: Pickens out because you felt that was better, and you

476
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 3: gave DK Metcalf a new contract. What you've also done

477
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: is now you've said, if that doesn't work out. Not

478
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: only did that not work. Now you have to rebuild

479
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: this team from scratch. And in their statement, the Steelers said,

480
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: we like, we love what Omar Khan has done, and

481
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: I'm paraphrasing being aggressive in free agency, building through the

482
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: draft over the last three years, and there have been

483
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 3: some good picks. They've tried to replay their offensive line.

484
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: I don't think they've necessarily gotten Their injuries have been

485
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 3: a problem, but I wouldn't say what has happened over

486
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: the last three years is warranted enough even before you

487
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 3: made all of these deals. And at what point if

488
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 3: you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I think their fan base

489
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 3: is to the point, I just don't think that they

490
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: are as an organization of just realizing that again, nine

491
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: and eight doesn't cut it, and it's better to be

492
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: four and thirteen than to be nine and eight in

493
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: the NFL, because then you can turn things around. My

494
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 3: point is Jacksonville has gone through. Jacksonville was a bad

495
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: franchise for a long time. Then they almost made a

496
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 3: Super Bowl with Jalen Ramsey on their team almost a

497
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 3: decade ago. Then they fell off, then they built up again,

498
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 3: and then they fell off again. They've been through two

499
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: roller coaster cycles, Monzi. In the period of time that

500
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers have just stayed in their nine to

501
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 3: eight boats sailing along. It doesn't make any sense.

502
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 5: It doesn't. But they don't think four and thirteen is better.

503
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 5: That's what this says. They don't think that. They don't.

504
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 5: You're right that, and I think we.

505
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 4: Just keep seeing that move by move that it's like, yeah,

506
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: you're you're good. Nobody's saying you're making the moves to

507
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 4: try and and stay afloat. But yes, like this, this

508
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 4: is okay with you, This is what you guys are

509
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 4: good with it, Okay, all right.

510
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find the equivalent of rewarding someone for

511
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: doing something when you don't have the results, and I'm

512
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: having just a very difficult time this thing. If this

513
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 3: thing blows up in the face of the of the

514
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers like it kind of did with the New

515
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: York Jets, Joe Douglas lost his job. Joe Douglas doesn't

516
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 3: work for the New York Jets anymore as their general

517
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: manager because they blew it up. Now you can say, well,

518
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 3: Jets ownership is different than the Steelers' ownership. No, doubt

519
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 3: about it, but still at least the Jets ownership, for

520
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: as crazy as it may be, realizes that you at

521
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 3: a job to do, it didn't get done. We need

522
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: to make a change, And the Pittsburgh Steelers are saying

523
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 3: you're hours before we even know if the job is

524
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: done or not. The job of getting Aaron Rodgers Manzi

525
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: was not that difficult, considering you only had about one

526
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: or two options, right, So what GM stuff does that do?

527
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 3: You traded away a young wide receiver because you maybe

528
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 3: didn't like his attitude, so you brought it in an

529
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: older one and then signed him to a deal that

530
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: is worth way much more money than you were paying

531
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: the younger one. How does that make sense?

532
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 5: None of this has been making You brought.

533
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: In another tight end who works with who's worked with

534
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: your offensive coordinator previously? Is John Us Smith and Arthur

535
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: Smith had a relationship dating back to the Titans. But

536
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: one of the Steelers I guess position of strengths was

537
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: tight end when you had Pat Fryermouth. I understand the

538
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 3: two tight ends are valuable in the National Football League.

539
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 3: I am not sold on the valuable the value of

540
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: a corner in the NFL. So acquiring Jalen Ramsey. I

541
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: understand Jamar chases in your division, but who else is

542
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: in that division? I mean Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson.

543
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: I'm move more worried about what Lamar and Derrick Henry

544
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 3: and they do than worrying about what Rashad Bateman's doing

545
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: or what the Cleveland Browns. Who's going to throw the

546
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: football to Jerry Judy. I don't need a lockdown all

547
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: pro cornerback. So none of that necessarily makes sense in

548
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: just in what the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing for this year,

549
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: and yet you reward your general manager. Mike Florio wrote

550
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 3: it as much as well that the Steelers are just basically,

551
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 3: you know, they're ready for mediocrity, right, They're just that's

552
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: what they're content with. And it's if I'm a Steelers fan,

553
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 3: I'd be very frustrated to hear this, not because it's

554
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: anything against Omar Khan, but because just of what it symbolizes.

555
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just you don't see this a lot.

556
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 4: You either teams are going all in or their punting

557
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 4: so that they can prepare for the future. You don't

558
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 4: see a lot of teams just stay afloat stay there. Yes,

559
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 4: like they're they're competitive, right, and then they it's it's

560
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 4: the NFL. They had a lot of them, a great

561
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 4: fan base, so they're they're successful, you know in the

562
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: grand scheme of things, but you're not winning. You're not

563
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 4: winning when it matters correct.

564
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 3: And that's in the playoffs and that's in the super

565
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: Bowl and that team. We have no idea. If it works,

566
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: if everything lines up, then you know what you do.

567
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: I know Omar Khan would have been a free agent

568
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 3: after this season and this price tag would have gone up.

569
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the other part of this is unfortunately, maybe

570
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: you're trying to be cheap. I don't know. That could

571
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: be could be loyal it could be loyalty, but it

572
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: could be cheapness as well that we're just gonna give

573
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: him or we just feel comfortable in that way. But

574
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: to me, it's just it's so crazy. These are big moves,

575
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: like they are all in for the season, and I

576
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: think that Omar Khan if it doesn't work out, also

577
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: has the capability to fix things if it doesn't go

578
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: well this year. Yeah, it could make the Pittsburgh Steelers

579
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: look foolish. I've looked foolish plenty. Do we have anything

580
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: from Lebron James right now? Anything happening in twenty twenty five?

581
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 8: As a watch twenty twenty five. I'm watched twenty twenty five.

582
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: He's put up some golf videos lately. He likes the

583
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: golf when I do late afternoon, early evening. But right now,

584
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: four thirty six in the Cleveland area, you could maybe

585
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: be teeing off right about now if you wanted to.

586
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: But no word yet from Lebron James. We are on

587
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: the watch twenty twenty five. She's Monte milagial So I'm

Speaker 7: Well, this afternoon, our hero addressed a picture that showed

594
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 7: him at the Cleveland Cavaliers practice facility today. Lebron commented

595
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 7: on Twitter slash x I live here, still in train

596
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,760

599
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 7: mind if I do anyway. In Major League Baseball, the

600
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 7: Chicago Cubs have been a franchise record eight home runs today.

601

Speaker 7: got twenty three. At City Field, the Yankees have a

00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 7: seventy and a half hot dogs in ten minutes. Here

619
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 7: is the chew by chew call of his final bites.

620
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 10: We're not gonna get to the record, but seventy bit

621
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 10: would be in a remarkable feat. Watch him here in

622
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 10: the last seconds. Joey's gonna get it in such meat

623
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 10: eating too. The etiquette is just exempl something to aspire to.

624
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 7: Wow, aspire and unfortunately I did not aspire to that

625
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 7: etiquette when I just devoured the free pizza that Dan

626
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 7: so graciously.

627
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: I know that was the analyst at the end, But

628
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: was that Jeremy Shapp doing play by play?

629
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 7: I don't know, but it sounded like him.

630
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 9: You're right, it was, Yeah, he was there on scene side.

631
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 7: It was actually Jeremy Shaft.

632
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, from I'm pretty sure that was jam.

633
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 7: Jeremy shaping from outside the lines to Wow.

634
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm not no, I am not saying that.

635
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm saying, how well versed is Jeremy Shapp to be

636
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 3: able to do outside the lines and then in turn

637
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: do play by play of a hot dog eating content.

638
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 5: It is impressive.

639
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 7: Well that analyst had some great insight there.

640
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 3: I had a buddy of mine years ago take over

641
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: a volleyball job or an announcing job for volleyball, and

642
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: I said, Tom, I said, listen, I go, I gotta

643
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: be honest, I don't know what's good or bad, so like,

644
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 3: so just take it and run with it, because there's

645
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 3: no level of there's no Vin Scully, there's you know,

646
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: there's not a Merril Reese or like there's there's no

647
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: level to it. And he's done a great job with

648
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 3: it and it's still there doing it and it's one

649
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: of the best that there is. So maybe the hot

650
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 3: dog eating content is a bit of the same, but

651
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 3: good for Jeremy Shap to be well rounded.

652
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 9: All I know is when you're handing an assignment, you

653
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 9: take it and you run with it. You two pride. Absolutely.

654
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 3: I'm just curious what what does the analyst do at

655
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: other jobs, right, because he's probably does some eating stuff. Sure,

656
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 3: because you do need to know what's happening within the sport.

657
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 3: It's easier for Jeremy Shap to kind of jump in

658
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: and tell you what's happening, but you need an analyst

659
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: there to tell you why. Joey Chestnut and the other

660
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,560

676

Speaker 3: Me and Brian Finley always loved Corgi's.

677
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: Corki's are just so esthetical people aesthetically adorable. There's something

678
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 4: about those little short legs, the big butt just moving around.

679
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: They're expensive.

680
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 9: They are expensive, correct, Yeah, full what do you call

681
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 9: them thoroughbreds?

682
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: Sor right?

683
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 5: But they are so aesthetically like, stink and cute.

684
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 3: They are little hot dogs. Yes the sausages really are

685
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 3: They're not wi dogs. No, those are theductions. No there,

686
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: I think they They remind me of e Walks a

687
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: little bit orgies.

688
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I get that.

689
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 8: Uh huh.

690
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 3: How about that movie reference for me as well? Job,

00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 3: you're hanging out with us as well. Happy for that.

694
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 3: Bo was also coined the phrase.

695
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 8: I've watch co Watch twenty twenty five.

696
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: Then he updated Lebron James news we will bring you

697
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 3: here on Fox Sports Radio again. He went to play

698
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 3: golf not suitable for children, the language on it, but

699
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 3: he hit a shot that was so far right that

700
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 3: and his buddy goes good bleep, and I just like, no, no,

701
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 3: it's not. You're still probably three hundred and fifty yards

702
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 3: away from the hole, and you're probably behind a pine

703
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 3: tree that's one hundred yards off the tea box in

704
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: the rough on the right. Lebron looked again, if you're

705
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: looking at noon twelve o'clock. He looked at three o'clock

706
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 3: to see where his ball went, and his buddy's like,

707
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 3: good shot. That's what you could do with golf shots.

708
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 3: Unless you're on the green and you don't see the

709
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: ball going the hole, you could pretend that it went

710
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 3: down the fairway.

711
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 5: But what did you think of the swing itself?

712
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: So I remember Lebron when he was younger and he

713
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 3: tried to a baseball bat. It was the worst thing

714
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: I've ever seen. Yes, this is better. This is not good.

715
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: This is not good.

716
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I was gonna say it apposed to

717
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 4: look like he was trying to swing really really hard.

718
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 4: But when you see some of these great golfers when

719
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 4: they hit a ball deep, it doesn't even look like

720
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 4: they're trying correct.

721
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 5: It's effortless. He looks like he's trying to hit it

722
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 5: really hard.

723
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, And like when you're at the update desk,

724
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,479
Speaker 3: or when Isaac low and Crown's at the update desk,

725
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: it's effortless. Speaking of Isaac, he brings us the press,

726
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: the press.

727
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 4: You play golf, No, No, I mean I I go

728
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 4: to top golf, and I've gone to the range, just

729
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 4: a general range a few times.

730
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 5: And I've told you hitting.

731
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 4: That stupid little golf ball is one of the most

732
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 4: satisfying feelings.

733
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 5: It is, it really is.

734
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 3: That's what hooks. It's hard, Isaac. Do you play it

735
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: at all?

736
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 7: I actually did when I was a kid, if you

737
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 7: count going to the putting grain. But the last time

738
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 7: I went to golf, my wife was out of town

739
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 7: in like twenty thirteen, and I went to the driving

740
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 7: range at a local course here. And what I didn't

741
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 7: realize was I had aged quite a bit and I

742
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 7: was like sore for three days afterwards because you're doing

743
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 7: the same motion over and over and over again. But

744
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 7: at the same time, I didn't have a crew of

745
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 7: hype men with me like Lebron apparently did he hits

746
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 7: the ball five hundred yards of the ro oh yeah, man,

747
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,959
Speaker 7: great stuff, man, Yeah, I want to get hype men

748
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 7: like Lebron has.

749
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: He has good bleep.

750
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

751
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 3: And by the way, if that would have been down

752
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 3: the down the fairway and ended up in a bunker,

753
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 3: that isn't good bleep, Like you're in the bunker, so

754
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: at least wait a little bit, like you can tell.

755
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 3: But the guy the cameraman just wasn't following it was

756
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 3: such a farce. That's what makes it so difficult to

757
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: believe anything that he says. He's even got the people.

758
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 5: Right, like you didn't. Why did you? Why did you

759
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 5: have sound in that video? You didn't need this out

760
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 5: of getting the high as so much.

761
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 3: See, there were four videos, you know, there were like

762
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 3: eighteen taken. Yeah, so how that one made the final cut,

763
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

764
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 7: So that was probably the best t shot he at

765
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 7: all day, and it was still two hundred and fifty

766
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 7: miles to the right. But that's our top story on

767
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 7: the press. The Ohio Cleveland related exploits of Lebron James

768
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 7: not only at the golf course, but this afternoon a

769
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 7: picture on social media emerged of him at the Cavaliers

770
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 7: practice facility, leading NBA Twitter and social media go to

771
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 7: go nuts, and Lebron actually had to take to social

772
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 7: media himself to comment and say, cool it, everybody, I'm

773
