People think that it's 452 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: a baseball town because the Yankees are good usually and 453 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: they've had the championship success at least in the last 454 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: generation or whatnot. Yes, less than they used to, but 455 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: you get the idea, last thirty forty years the Yankees 456 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: and the Yankees is the biggest brand in the sport. 457 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: But when the Knicks are good, it takes over that 458 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: city and they're doing street signs and going banana Land 459 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: because they made the Conference finals, and I. 460 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 2: Have been blown away. 461 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: Look, obviously, one of the weirdest finishes to a game 462 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: that we've ever seen in Game. 463 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 3: One, unbelievable, right, But. 464 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,959 Speaker 1: For the Knicks to get to the Conference finals and 465 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: arrive there with the Chips falling the way they have, 466 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: no Celtics, no Calves, holy crap. For you to lose 467 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: both of those games, I just I've never seen New 468 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: York look smaller than they did this week. 469 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: It looks like a small town. They're like, our guys 470 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: made the conference finals. 471 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: Whoa, And it's like, wow, you celebrated way too early. 472 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 4: It was an egregious celebration. It was too much. It 473 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 4: was way too much still to be done. And it 474 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 4: just it made it feel like, now, you got to remember, 475 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 4: the players weren't celebrating like that. Correct, these are the fans, 476 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 4: of course. But what it does is it shifts a 477 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 4: level of expectation. Because they were talking about all of 478 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: a sudden that they were winning the championship, We're going 479 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 4: to the finals, that was immediate, and not talking about 480 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 4: the conference finals. They were talking about their going to 481 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 4: the NBA Finals for the first time in you know, 482 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 4: however long And it just it made people stop realizing 483 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 4: there's work to be done, a lot of work to 484 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 4: be done. And all the Pacers did was just feed 485 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 4: off that. They just fed off of it. I mean, 486 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 4: this is what the I think the Pacers lost one 487 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 4: game on the road so far. 488 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: I mean, let's see the Pacers right where they they 489 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: went up too oh in Cleveland and then they closed 490 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: out in Cleveland and then they only lost one game 491 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: in the Bucks series completely, so yes. 492 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: You are, you are correct. They I mean they've only 493 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 2: they've only lost two games. 494 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 3: Period, one of them on the road, one of them 495 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 3: at home. 496 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: And it was in this situation where they had gone 497 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: up too oh on Cleveland, and then they went to 498 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: Indiana and Cleveland blew them out and for a moment 499 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, okay, Cleveland's about their again, and then 500 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: they were not. And and the Knicks are I mean 501 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: this game right now, we're watching it, it's late first 502 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: quarter and the Knicks are up by a couple but 503 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, dude. 504 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 4: They're I'm gonna say that. 505 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: They're they're They're in They're in a tremendous amount of trial. 506 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 4: I'm going to say this, And it may not be 507 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 4: very favorable to New York fans and all of that. 508 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 4: The New York Knicks are not winning this series. 509 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: No. 510 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 4: And the reason I say that it look anything is possible. 511 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 4: But the reason I'm saying that is psychologically, when you're 512 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 4: playing the way they played in Game one, I mean, 513 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 4: it was a masterful thing. It was beautiful. With two 514 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 4: minutes left, being up by twelve points at home, the 515 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 4: impossible had to happen for you to lose. The impossible happened. 516 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 4: And then following the impossible, you come in the next 517 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 4: game and you have to resubmit your submit yourself as 518 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 4: the New York Knicks, the home favorite, this is our floor. 519 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 4: You guys got away with a fluke that didn't happen. 520 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 4: They were severely outplayed. Coach Thibodeau was completely out coached. 521 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 4: His rotations, his substitutions awful, just gosh awful. And so 522 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 4: me watching them now go on the road and have 523 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 4: to win two games, like they have to win the 524 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 4: next two games and then come back to New York 525 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 4: and win that game to even get themselves back in 526 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 4: this series. And I don't think number one, I don't 527 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 4: think they're deep enough to do it. And number two, 528 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 4: I don't think TIBs can coach them in a way 529 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 4: to do it. 530 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 3: I don't. 531 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 4: And Carl Anthony Towns is he out this game or 532 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 4: is he in there? 533 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 9: Is he? 534 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's in there, but he didn't start though, Yeah 535 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 4: he didn't start. 536 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: Well, maybe I'm mistaken. 537 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 4: Then No, he's in there now. But I mean it's 538 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 4: the whole first the beginning of the first act. I 539 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 4: don't did he start the game. I didn't see him 540 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 4: out there at the start. 541 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: He listed as a starter, right, Okay, yeah, he's listed 542 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 2: as a starter. 543 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 4: But I just don't think he knows what to do 544 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 4: with his rotation don't. And it's bothering me, Like I'm looking, 545 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, what do you do? 546 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: Okay? 547 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 2: More more to say on this. 548 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: There's really only I mean, I think you're right, there's 549 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: only there's one reason why the Knicks are gonna not 550 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: win this series, and it's because they don't have Steve 551 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: de Seger and we do Steve. 552 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 4: Steve, what was your what was your answering machine message? 553 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 3: At home?

It was the voice of chick her 556 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 10: and the Laker. 557 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 4: Oh really, yeah, I leave you a message? 558 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 10: It is he He at one point was selling an 559 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 10: answering machine that you could copy into your machine. 560 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 3: That's amazing. 561 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 10: I said, your friend is not home. And then he 562 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 10: had a couple of chicken phrases that he would use 563 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 10: on the air. 564 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 4: And then the beat how did you do that? 565 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 10: We interviewed whoever it was that was selling it, and 566 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 10: and that's how I got one. 567 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 4: Well, the part is you still have that. 568 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 7: You could almost definitely now get like an AI version 569 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 7: of that, like almost definitely exactly. 570 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure we could have that by the end 571 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: of the Well. 572 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 5: Didn't they have Ai l Michaels doing the Olympic highlights? Yeah, NBC, Well, 573 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 5: the Knicks could use an AI great team to come 574 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 5: back in this series. 575 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 10: Probably ain't happening. We're late first quarter and the Knicks 576 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 10: are tied at Indiana twenty six. So all this is 577 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 10: Game three of the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals. Karl Anthony 578 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 10: Towns is so far scoreless in this game. He does 579 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 10: have five rebounds, but each team shooting about thirty nine 580 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 10: percent from the floor. Pacers took the first two of 581 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 10: the best of seven on the road in the w 582 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 10: NBA four games all finals home wins for Phoenix, Seattle, 583 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 10: and LA which beat Chicago ninety seventy eight. Atlanta won 584 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 10: its game easily seventy nine to fifty five over Connecticut, 585 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 10: which is zero to four in the NHL playoffs. Today, 586 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 10: Edmonton went up two games to one in the West 587 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 10: Final with a six to one victory over Dallas. That 588 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 10: game was two to one late in the first period. 589 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 10: USA Hockey took the World championship in overtime, beating Switzerland 590 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 10: won nothing in the final. Alex Polo won the Indy 591 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 10: five hundred, the first driver from Spain to take it. 592 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 10: Below has won five of the six races so far 593 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 10: this season. Fox has all the IndyCar races this season. 594 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 10: This is the guy who won the IndyCar season title 595 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,239 Speaker 10: three times in the last four years.

William Byron in the lead. 598 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 10: Denny Hamlin is second. As for Major League Baseball Sunday 599 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 10: night game at New York, it's the Mets three to 600 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 10: one over the Dodgers. Top of the fifth inning, Shohei 601 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 10: Otani with a leadoff homer is eighteenth of the year. However, 602 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 10: the Mets answered with a two run shot bttom of 603 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 10: the first from Pete Alonzo and in the third Juan 604 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 10: Soto with an RBI on a fielder's choice Dodger infield 605 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 10: with a couple of airs. They have two on, two 606 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 10: out in the fifth, but trailing at New York three 607 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 10: to one. Earlier, the Yankees won at Colorado five to four. 608 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 10: The Rockies record is nine and forty four. 609 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's just happening. 610 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 10: How And then there's the Athletics, who had lost eleven 611 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 10: in a row until a home win over Philadelphia today 612 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 10: five to for the final saved to Mason Miller, his 613 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 10: twelfth to go along with an era of about six. 614 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 10: Miami won three nothing at the Angels San Diego of 615 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 10: five to three winner at Atlanta. The Padres had lost 616 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 10: seven of eight. Padres starting pitcher Michael King is on 617 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 10: the injured list with a bad shoulder. 618 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: Back to you, great stuff, Steve, Yeah, I have a 619 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: feeling there might be more on the Colorado Rockies later 620 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: on in the show. They're a ton of fun. They're 621 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: on pace for the worst record in the history of ever. 622 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: Did you know that? 623 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 3: I'm not even kidding, like the word. 624 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah three just like we don't have to usually as 625 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: a qualifier, you know what I mean. It's kind of 626 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: like that collapse of the Knicks the other night. They're like, 627 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: that was the worst collapse ever. Oh, there you go. 628 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: We don't have to be like since nineteen eighty eight, No, never, 629 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: never before has somebody lost that kind of a lead 630 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: with two forty five to go. Never before has a 631 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: team been on the pace that the Rockies are on, 632 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: or at least that was true the other night. I 633 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: think they won a game over the Yankees, maybe a 634 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: couple of nights ago, so maybe that changed their trajectory. 635 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, dude, they're literally on pace to maybe be 636 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: the worst team of all time. And they're tucked into 637 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: a division that's got four other really good teams. Yes, 638 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: and they haven't even played like the division teams. You 639 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: haven't really played each other much yet, so it's gonna 640 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: get worse. Oh lord, They're gonna get worse. Anyway, We're 641 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: in the Fox Sports radio studios, not done with that 642 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: NIXT thing yet. Can I say this, like, maybe somewhere 643 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 1: in this whole Nick story is a little bit of karma, 644 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: And I'm probably overstepping by saying that I have nothing 645 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: against the Knicks. I have nothing against New York. I 646 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: just kind of have something against Jalen Brunson. And and 647 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: here's what it is. I have my team, you have 648 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: your team. When my team is out, I now select 649 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,959 Speaker 1: who I'm rooting for in the NBA based on who's 650 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: a foul bator and who's not. This is how I 651 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: root in the NBA. Like both conference championships very easy 652 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: for me, Go. 653 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 2: Pacers, Go Wolves. 654 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: Why because the guard on the other two teams is 655 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: a foul beat and a bad one. 656 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: Did say deserve the MVP? 657 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: Sure? They were so good. I don't know how you 658 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: couldn't pick somebody from that team. But watching him play basketball. 659 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 3: It was like jansar. 660 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 2: It's painful. 661 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 4: It's the reason why I as as James was scoring 662 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 4: all those buckets, I just never was a fan. I 663 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 4: can't take the head flop back. I mean, I know 664 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 4: it's part of the game, and I know you're trying 665 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 4: to draw contact and I get all of those things, 666 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 4: but it's just hard to watch. It's a difficult brand 667 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 4: of basketball to buy into. 668 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: Very much so. 669 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 4: And so I I, you know, not James or he's 670 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 4: not getting those calls anymore like they're you know, Shay 671 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 4: is getting them. 672 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: Eventually he won't. 673 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 4: It'll be called what they have the term marginal, marginal contact. 674 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: Or incidental Yep, yeah, it's you know. 675 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 4: It's no, it's marginal contact on the drive. And you know, 676 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 4: I like the way that the playoffs are being officiated. 677 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 4: I like physical basketball. I like you physically dominating your 678 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 4: opponent opposed to getting bailed out. That's just a brand 679 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 4: of basketball. I like, I respect that brand of basketball. 680 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 3: It's up with you. 681 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 4: And maybe because we grew up with answering machines, I 682 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 4: don't know. 683 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, yeah, Like I was an ewalk for Halloween 684 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: one time, and so that's the way I feel about 685 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: basketball too. Maybe that's why I don't know, But yeah, 686 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: like I look at certain players. 687 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: Here's the other thing. Though. 688 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: You say it's part of the game, and it's true, 689 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: but I'm like, not everybody. I don't feel Anthony Edwards 690 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: does this. 691 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:33,719 Speaker 3: No, no, he doesn't. 692 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't feel he does this. I don't feel like 693 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton does this. Jalen Brunson the other day, I 694 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: don't know, did you see this slow mo video where 695 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: he literally grabs the arm of an opponent and slaps 696 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: his own face with the other person's arm. 697 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, what what are you. 698 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: Doing out there? What is your goal? When you have 699 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: the ball in your hand? What's going through your mind? 700 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: Are you trying to score or are you trying to 701 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: make the official think something? 702 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 2: Happened. It literally looks like that. 703 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: The entire approach to the game is to end up 704 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: on the ground and and make the official think that 705 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: something happened, and I don't see that. 706 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 3: Watch. 707 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, every player is not like that, and so that's 708 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: how I'm doing it. Man. 709 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 2: I'm picking and choosing based on that. 710 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 3: Now, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm okay with that. Look. 711 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 4: I was really pulling for New York. I thought it 712 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 4: would be great for the city. I like Brunton, I 713 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 4: like what, you know what he's had to go through 714 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 4: the fact that Dallas gave him up, and you know, 715 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 4: he wasn't a mark. He's made himself who he is. 716 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 4: I respect that. But they are not showing up, man, 717 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 4: They're not showing up. They are absent to the party, 718 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 4: and it's it's it's hard to watch. 719 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: Yep, yep. Well, they're in a must win situation that 720 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: that will unfold during our show tonight, so we will 721 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: be uh, we'll be all over it and and take 722 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: you the rest of the way. There is one thing 723 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: I would like to come after that. His kind of 724 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: pacers related a small thing, but I'd like to do it, 725 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: and then we'll get to the touchport stuff at the 726 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: top of the hour. Glad you're with us tonight with 727 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 1: it from Salama Mark Willard. This is Fox Sports Radio. 728 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: You're listening no Fox Sports Radio Radio. All right, We're 729 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 1: in the Fox Sports Radio studios. That's it from Salama 730 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: Mark Willard. Good time already tonight and nowhere near done. 731 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: So I want to run this by you. 732 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: Reggie Miller was in the building, so it was super 733 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: cool and he was paying homage and I get it. 734 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: They were down by fourteen with two forty five to go. 735 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: This is a never forget kind of a comeback, and 736 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: it happened in Madison Square Garden. And you know me, 737 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: I already established this off the top of the show. 738 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: I don't like telling athletes act like you've been there before, 739 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: because I've never been there before. I'd probably set my 740 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: butt on fire and run laps around Statue. 741 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 2: Of Liberty if I did something like that. 742 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: So I'm not like, celebrate, players celebrate, have a good time. 743 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: This is life. So I'm cool with all of that. 744 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: But the choke thing is interesting to me because it 745 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: feels very much like in college basketball when Duke or 746 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: North Carolina or somebody like that would come to town 747 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: and you upset them and your crowd starts chanting overrated, 748 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,280 Speaker 1: because I thought to myself, well, you're denigrating your own accomplishment. 749 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: If I'm Tyrese Halliburton, I want to focus on dude, 750 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: I just came back on you. Not you choked. Doesn't 751 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: that I mean, this is not a major thing, just 752 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: kind of a weird thing. I don't underst dance celebrations 753 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: that are pointed at whoever I just beat actually sucks 754 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 1: or underperformed. 755 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 2: It takes away from what you just did, doesn't it. 756 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: No, Okay, So that's one way to answer it. 757 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 4: So I loved it. And here's why I loved it. 758 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 4: It's the moment, it's the place, it's all of those things. 759 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 4: The two people who were involved in the original choke, yes, 760 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:40,439 Speaker 4: were in the building, Spike Lee and Reggie Miller right yep, 761 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 4: in a similar situation to where the Knicks had the 762 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 4: lead and Reggie Miller scored nine points in like eight seconds, right, 763 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 4: they choked it away. And so the fact that Halliburton 764 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 4: understood the history of that which most young players don't 765 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 4: even they barely watch basketball. 766 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 2: Right right, No, that's fair. I like that aspect of. 767 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 4: The two teams are the same and the most sacred 768 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 4: place you can play basketball, the Mecca is what they 769 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 4: call it. In Madison Square Garden, Spike Lee is sitting 770 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 4: in the same seats and Reggie is announcing the game. 771 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 4: That is when you do it, when you do something 772 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 4: so unheard of, so unfathomable, without fathom to quote, was 773 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 4: it a mega mind. 774 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 2: Yes, without fathom. 775 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 4: When you do that and have the wherewithal to steal, 776 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 4: come back, win the game, or tie the game up. 777 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 4: At the point and point out to the Knicks fans 778 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 4: point out to the Knicks players, Reggie and Spike they 779 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 4: choked it. They choked it away because they choked it away. 780 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 3: They did they smoked it. 781 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 2: Of course, No, and I get all that, I get 782 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 2: all there. 783 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: This is even maybe a little bit less about that 784 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: particular moment than the concept in general. 785 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 2: I just was like, dude, you know, focus on like 786 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 2: pop up what you did. 787 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 3: No, they created the meme, the side by side meme. 788 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 4: Now I feel you, like again, that is huge. That 789 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 4: is what sport is. That is that is why I 790 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 4: believe the New York Knicks are in trouble, because Indiana 791 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 4: is not phased that crowd was insane at the Garden. 792 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 4: It was insane because for all intense purposes, the Knicks 793 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 4: were killing Yeah, and then they choked it away. I mean, 794 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 4: and now they'll have to live with that, that vision forever. 795 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 3: And I love that fair enough. 796 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I could point out he missed the shot, Doug, 797 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: I get it. 798 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 2: That's the other thing, dude, you got lucky. 799 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: You got lucky. But I get where you're coming from to. 800 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: I do want to get into the touch push. That 801 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: was big this week. It'll be big here next Sports Radio.

We'll see where 809 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: it goes. Scott Foster is in the middle of a 810 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: review which should trigger everybody in America. But whatever, we'll 811 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: let that be. Whatever the heck that's going to be. 812 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: I was fascinated by this this became such a triggering 813 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: kind of a debate. 814 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 2: Even amongst the owners. 815 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: This week owners meetings, the Philadelphia Eagles take the tush 816 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: Push as their own, and they come in and created 817 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: an NFL filibuster and talked and had a presentation and 818 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: brought Jason Kelcey in and had all kinds of different 819 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: angles that they threw out there for over an hour, 820 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: to the point where forty nine Ers owner Jed York said, 821 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: do you guys have any other bleep that you need 822 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: to say before we can finally go vote? And Lourie 823 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 1: with the Eagles just kept drawing out and drawing out, 824 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: mainly because they thought that we're gonna lose twenty four 825 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: votes needed to make it illegal. They only got twenty two. 826 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: The tush Push stays Ephraim, I'm not like offended by it. 827 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: We've watched it for a few years now, so like 828 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm able to watch football with it and not be 829 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: offended by it. This is not a passionate place for me, 830 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: But if you asked me to vote, I'd have voted 831 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: to ban it because it's not football. I grew up 832 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: with football where you're not allowed to pick up other 833 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: players and carry them places and shove them through lines 834 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: and throw them over lines and all of these things. 835 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: And I get that the rule changed to a certain degree. 836 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: And maybe this is a little bit too subjective of 837 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: a thing to say, but that's how I feel. I 838 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: just don't feel like that's football. So I'd have banned it. 839 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 4: What do you think I wouldn't have banned it. It's 840 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 4: something that everyone can do, everyone has the personnel to 841 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 4: do it. And so you're at a situation where, I mean, 842 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 4: most teams don't have mobile quarterbacks, right, So would you 843 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 4: when when when Michael Vick was doing what he was doing, 844 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,439 Speaker 4: or Randall Cunningham was doing what he was doing, would 845 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 4: you say, oh, well, the quarterback is only allowed to 846 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 4: scramble so so many yards because it's not fair. 847 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 3: Everybody can't do that. 848 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: No, my premise is not because everybody can't do it. 849 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 5: No. 850 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is, why would you ban it 851 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 4: because like one, only one team does it? 852 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 2: Well, no, that's not true. 853 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 4: The Bills do it, yeah, but they don't do it 854 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 4: with the level of success. 855 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't do it as well. 856 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 4: Right, so everyone and that and that lends to my point. 857 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 4: Everyone has an opportunity to do it. Now, if you 858 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,479 Speaker 4: suck at it, then you just suck at it, right, 859 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 4: So you don't ban the Well can't do it, so 860 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 4: we don't want it. Well, that that's not fair. Did 861 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 4: they ban three pointers because Stephen Clay was hitting all 862 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 4: the three pointers? Well? 863 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 3: Actually would know you've changed the game. 864 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: There is precedent actually with this. I mean they have 865 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: moved the three point line around. They did Tiger Proof Augusta, 866 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 1: like there are. There are things that sports do when 867 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,439 Speaker 1: certain things are at least felt to be either against 868 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 1: the game itself or slanted too far in one direction 869 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: or one team. 870 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 2: I mean, they changed the rules for shock in the NBA. 871 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, But what I'm saying is if it's a football 872 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 4: game and it's eleven people. Now, the thing that I 873 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 4: would amended in the touch push and the rules for 874 00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 4: the touch push, Okay, is what you said. I've all said. 875 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 4: I wouldn't ban the play, But what I would do 876 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 4: is I would change the parameters in terms of you 877 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 4: cannot pick up an opponent our player from behind and 878 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 4: advance him forward without his feet being on the ground. 879 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 4: That creates an unfair advantage. That's what I would have done. Right, 880 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 4: I can two people can't pick my quarterback up from 881 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 4: behind the line of scrimmage and bodies surf him over 882 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 4: the top of the defense. 883 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 1: Well, now we might be splitting hairs because I would 884 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: argue that that then then you are for banning the play. 885 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,479 Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's the play. 886 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 4: It's not because if you watch clips of them doing it, 887 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 4: it doesn't happen every time. 888 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 2: No, but I think it's almost kind of by accident. 889 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 3: Right, and so you accident. 890 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you make them hyper focused on not being penalized. Right, 891 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 4: So now they have to think about something as they 892 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 4: do it. That's how you slow it down. You don't 893 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 4: just turn it off. No, you make them say, okay, 894 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 4: we have to practice it a different way. We can't have, 895 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 4: you know, a leverage issue, unfair leverage. So now you 896 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 4: it's different conversation. And if it does happen, if they 897 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,279 Speaker 4: do do it, they get penalized for it. Now it's 898 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 4: fourth and five or fourth and six. That's how you 899 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 4: do that. You don't take the playout. You make sure 900 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 4: that they don't crowds our bodies, serve an opponent over 901 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 4: the top of defenders. Yeah, remember how they change the 902 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 4: field goal block. You can now you can no longer 903 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 4: leverage play. 904 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's it. 905 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 2: No, I'm fine with that. 906 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 1: I like you know you you and I can meet 907 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,479 Speaker 1: in the middle on that absolutely, But that because that's 908 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:50,359 Speaker 1: that's literally the part of what what I'm talking about 909 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,240 Speaker 1: with the touch push. 910 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 2: That to me makes it Hey, quick pause, dude, the 911 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:55,360 Speaker 2: knicks are done. 912 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I told you it's the next are done. 913 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,399 Speaker 2: Then are down by twenty the blood. Yeah, the knicks 914 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 2: are done. 915 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 4: They have no it's no pop, it's no gusta. 916 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 3: It is over man. 917 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, And we can get back to that in a sec. 918 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: But I like, that's the part of the play that 919 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm talking about when I say that's not football. 920 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 4: That I agree with that, I agree with that, well, 921 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 4: I'm not. 922 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: Like, to me, it's very different than you're like, oh, 923 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham or Michael Vick comes into this league and 924 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: you're like, that's a special talent that is doing things 925 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: within the rules of football that we've never seen before. Well, hey, fantastic, fantastic. 926 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm all for somebody brand new coming into the sport 927 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 1: and taking it to a different level. Some of the 928 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: names we've already brought up today Steph Curry Tiger Woods. 929 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 2: They don't. 930 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 1: They've done things like that for their sport, And I 931 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: don't know as a fan how you cannot love that. 932 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 1: What I don't like is that too often this thing 933 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 1: turns into not football all. And it's hard to make 934 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: that point because people are like, well then wait, hold on, 935 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: what's football? And and and we can answer that a 936 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 1: bunch of different ways. But in this particular case, I 937 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: think it's the reverse of a Michael Vick or Randall Cunningham. 938 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: This is a skillless play. And you may disagree with that, 939 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: because somewhere in the whole pantheon of offensive linemen, Jason 940 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: Kelsey and whoever the Eagles have, they they seem to 941 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: be really good at it and and and maybe others aren't. 942 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 2: So maybe I'm missing something. 943 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: But when I'm looking at the quarterback, when I'm watching 944 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, I'm seeing no ability. I'm seeing somebody hop 945 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 1: into somebody else's car and get taken for a ride. 946 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 4: Well, well that's what I'm saying. To be fair, he 947 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 4: does squad over six hundred pounds. You couldn't find another 948 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 4: quarterback in the league that does that. 949 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,959 Speaker 1: Very fair, And so how much of the chish push 950 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: do you think is the QB? 951 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 4: Well, I think they're different variations of it, that's the 952 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 4: whole point of it. They neither. None of them look 953 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 4: the same. And some the two people behind the tied 954 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 4: end and the running back are literally physically picking up 955 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 4: the quarterback and taking him over the opponents, and some 956 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 4: of them he gets down low and you can see 957 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 4: his feet driving through and they just push him from behind. 958 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 4: If you want to police it, then you change the variation. 959 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 4: That's how you do that. 960 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, i'd go back. 961 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 1: I never really understood why that rule got changed in 962 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:47,240 Speaker 1: the first place. Where you can start shoving running backs 963 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: and quarterbacks across goal lines. I mean, but we see 964 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 1: it all the time and your career that was against 965 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: the rules rules. 966 00:48:55,120 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, you could not pull our aid the ball carrier, like. 967 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: I just think I think that its anti skill is 968 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: what that is. It's like a play kind of stops 969 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 1: and a running back's got enough leverage to not fall down, 970 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the big guys meet 971 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: around the running back and we turn this into rugby. 972 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,800 Speaker 2: And that's not football to me. It's a difference. 973 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 4: You get a scrumb but you also have to be 974 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 4: able to stop it. How do you stop it? 975 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 1: Well, how about this, If I'm a ref, explain to 976 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,839 Speaker 1: me how the heck I'm supposed to realistically be able 977 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 1: to blow a whistle because quote, forward progress has been stopped. 978 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 2: But now all of a sudden, this group. 979 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 1: Comes together and the running back is in the middle 980 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 1: of it, and at times you watch it kind of 981 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:56,320 Speaker 1: pause for a good one, two, three count, and then 982 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 1: the offensive players sort of gain almost like a to 983 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,760 Speaker 1: ugg of war leverage, and you start falling forward. 984 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, wait a minute. 985 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 1: If there were no offensive linemen there, you would have 986 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 1: if that guy had fumbled, you would have said, no, 987 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,400 Speaker 1: forward progress has already been stopped. 988 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a blurry line to me. 989 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:14,759 Speaker 1: Man. 990 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:19,320 Speaker 4: I think the league approached it in a manner that 991 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,399 Speaker 4: wasn't conducive to what was actually going on. They kind 992 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 4: of had this narrative that it was unsafe. There's no 993 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,240 Speaker 4: data to prove that, and so you lost that argument 994 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 4: right off the bat. There's no data to prove it's 995 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 4: not safe. There hasn't been a rash of injuries like 996 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,439 Speaker 4: the horse collar tackle. 997 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:38,759 Speaker 3: Or you know, things like that. 998 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 4: Right, hitting the quarterback below the knees, so there is 999 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 4: no data to support it's unsafe. And because they started 1000 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:54,359 Speaker 4: this whole brew haha with it's not a safe play. Now, 1001 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 4: you put yourself in a box to be proven otherwise. 1002 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 4: And I think that lend lent to the fact that 1003 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 4: it's not it's not banned because the information that you 1004 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 4: started with isn't true. 1005 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 2: Right, No, that's a good point. That's a good point. 1006 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 2: They attacked this from the wrong. 1007 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,359 Speaker 3: The wrong completely the wrong place. 1008 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,719 Speaker 1: Well, I think they thought, oh, that's the that's the 1009 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 1: buzzword that'll get everybody. 1010 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 4: Gone injury of course, safety, of course. 1011 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 2: Because it's it's not unsafe. It's actually one of the 1012 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 2: safer plays. 1013 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 1: I can see. 1014 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:27,719 Speaker 2: They stuck a bubble. 1015 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: Around the quarterback and and everybody like nobody's coming in 1016 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,400 Speaker 1: with a hopeful head of steam with a hit. 1017 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 2: It's not unsafe. I just think it's not football. 1018 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 4: Now, there's a way you can combat this. Now, this 1019 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,319 Speaker 4: is a little devious. I'm gonna put this out on 1020 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 4: the air and maybe we'll see it, and maybe we 1021 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:48,839 Speaker 4: won't see it. If you really want to make it 1022 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,399 Speaker 4: seem like it's unsafe. After every time they do it. 1023 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 4: You tell one of your defensive linemen stay doun, stay down. 1024 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 4: You do that three four weeks in a row. This 1025 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 4: is a different conversation. That's I'm just gonna throw that 1026 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 4: out there like that. 1027 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 1: Well, if I'm the Washington commanders, then that's what I'm doing. So, 1028 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, right, because we gotta, we gotta. We got 1029 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: a tough division getting built over. 1030 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 3: There every single time, right, every single time. 1031 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,759 Speaker 2: That's that's that's interesting way to do it. 1032 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 4: That's you know, that's you know, my people think, you know, 1033 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:32,240 Speaker 4: thank god, I used my mind for good. But that's 1034 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 4: what that that is how if there is no if 1035 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 4: there is no evidence, then you have to create evidence. 1036 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 1: So we go from the touch bush is h is unsafe, 1037 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 1: which it's not, and then all within the same week 1038 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,800 Speaker 1: we get something else that is accepted by the NFL 1039 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 1: owners that I do think is unsafe, and so uh 1040 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that coming up next with it from 1041 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: Salama Mark Willard. 1042 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,320 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio. 1043 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 1: Live right now in the Fox Sports Radio studios. 1044 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,720 Speaker 4: I see you, Mary, Okay, leave a message.

We lived in the greatest era of music. 1066 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 2: So it's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good. But then again, everybody. 1067 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 3: Thinks that, right, Yeah, but it's the truth. Though. 1068 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:24,280 Speaker 1: Well, I will say this, having three chitling's running around 1069 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:24,720 Speaker 1: the house. 1070 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 2: They do know all of our music. 1071 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:34,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, way more than we knew our parents' music. 1072 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, because we our parents' music doesn't it didn't resonate 1073 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 4: with us. You gotta remember they grew up in hip 1074 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:45,799 Speaker 4: hop yep. Right, so in for instance, in ninety three, 1075 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 4: right high school ninety three senior year. 1076 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 3: I'm listening to. 1077 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: You know, I mean just yeah, because because you said 1078 00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 1: ninety three, my mind immediately went to Pete Roy. 1079 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,479 Speaker 2: I can see L's moved right. 1080 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,319 Speaker 4: I'm listening to this were from Yeah, you know what 1081 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:09,360 Speaker 4: I mean? Like that's just that is relevant right now? 1082 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 4: Like that's relevant hip hop. Hell, it is because those 1083 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 4: guys are still making music now. Prior to that, it 1084 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,280 Speaker 4: was jazz. It was blues that didn't speak to disco, 1085 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:26,040 Speaker 4: that didn't speak to our generation. The hip hop came 1086 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:30,000 Speaker 4: into late mid to late seventies, and so we were 1087 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,760 Speaker 4: alive and we grew up on our parents weren't listening 1088 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,799 Speaker 4: to hip hop. It was the young My brother was 1089 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 4: listening to hip hop. He was twelve years older than me. 1090 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,439 Speaker 4: He was a DJ. So I got exposed to all 1091 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 4: of the hip hop and the sampling and all of that, 1092 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 4: and so I just became a hip hop hit. I 1093 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 4: fell in love with it. That's why we're still relevant. 1094 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,920 Speaker 4: That's why we don't seem old, because we're playing the songs, 1095 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 4: we're dancing. 1096 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 3: We know the music. 1097 00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:02,279 Speaker 4: We you know, we we can recognize Genius and Kendrick right, 1098 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 4: we can un a J. Cole and some of the 1099 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,760 Speaker 4: artists that are out today, we can recognize that opposed 1100 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,560 Speaker 4: to our parents going, what are y'all listening to that 1101 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 4: bibbity bop?

Yeah, the the wop bamboo. 1105 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 4: But that's the difference. That's why we we seem cooler. 1106 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 4: That's why because it was, it's relevant for us. We 1107 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 4: know what hip hop is because we grew up on 1108 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 4: hip hop. 1109 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,960 Speaker 1: What's the first concert that they took you to?

I 1299 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 4: think like there are several high schools that have girls 1300 01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:13,160 Speaker 4: varsity flag football, and those young ladies are dynamic. So 1301 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 4: what do you do after you finish playing in high school? 1302 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:20,280 Speaker 3: Where do you go? 1303 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,120 Speaker 4: We saw a lot of this with softball as well, 1304 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:29,840 Speaker 4: right remember they introduced softball into the Olympics and subsequently 1305 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 4: took it away, took it back away. The US was 1306 01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,680 Speaker 4: of course, was dominant US in Japan where they were 1307 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:41,440 Speaker 4: dominant and softball, but it gave those dynamic college players 1308 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,480 Speaker 4: and high school oh players a place to strive for 1309 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 4: to go be on it. Soccer as well, there was 1310 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:51,560 Speaker 4: no women's soccer league. This is the beginning of ushering 1311 01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,440 Speaker 4: in other leagues. So in four or five, six, seven 1312 01:07:55,560 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 4: years now there is a viable place to you can 1313 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:06,080 Speaker 4: go play professional sports outside of the you know, the 1314 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 4: scope of the NFL. Everybody can't play in the NFL 1315 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,000 Speaker 4: and women can't play there. That may change at some point, 1316 01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 4: but as of right now, I think it's dynamic. I 1317 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 4: think there's a lot of young ladies out there who 1318 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 4: love football, who want to play football. They've tried to 1319 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,600 Speaker 4: create all these I remember the Lingerie Football League and 1320 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,519 Speaker 4: all of this you know stuff, but flag football, you know, 1321 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 4: seven on seven is a real thing. There're seven on 1322 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 4: seven leagues to travel around. Guys get rated, These young 1323 01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 4: high school kids get rated at these seven on seven tournaments. 1324 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 4: They're no tackling, there's no offensive line, there's no any 1325 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,519 Speaker 4: of that. And I think it's a big part of 1326 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,879 Speaker 4: the sport and I think it should be highlighted. 1327 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:52,160 Speaker 1: Let me rephrase my question, because I agree with everything 1328 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:58,040 Speaker 1: you just said. Why are we going to allow NFL players. 1329 01:08:59,080 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 2: Part of this? 1330 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 3: Tell you why why? 1331 01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,640 Speaker 4: Because we ran into that bus saw in basketball not 1332 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,320 Speaker 4: allowing our best of the best to go play great, 1333 01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:08,720 Speaker 4: and then someone stepped. 1334 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:09,080 Speaker 3: On our throats. 1335 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,320 Speaker 2: So then you just answered the question, which is ego, oh, of. 1336 01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:16,920 Speaker 4: Course, it's an Olympics, right, the Olympics. That hell, hello, 1337 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:18,919 Speaker 4: Well we're the best in the world. 1338 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:19,680 Speaker 2: Right right. 1339 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 1: However, and I might be in the minority on this fact. 1340 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,280 Speaker 1: I know that I was. When I did a whole 1341 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:32,040 Speaker 1: show on this months ago, prior to Steph Curry being 1342 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,920 Speaker 1: a part of Team USA last summer, I was like, 1343 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 1: no thanks, no thanks.

Yes, all it 1356 01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 4: takes is one a cl one Achilles and it goes 1357 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,600 Speaker 4: away forever. One Robert Edwards, Yep, I was there.

She didn't know, 1370 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 2: well you knew what they said anyway. 1371 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 1: Point is you weren't born for new edition either, but 1372 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 1: you could sing, mister telephone man, it's all good. 1373 01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:19,439 Speaker 2: Bottom line is this player they were what you tell 1374 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 2: what it was. 1375 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,040 Speaker 4: It was a Hawaii yes, and they had these fun 1376 01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,439 Speaker 4: games that we can do, and they were you know, 1377 01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,439 Speaker 4: they were playing on the beach on the beach. Yes, 1378 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:34,439 Speaker 4: So we're playing football on the beach. And he tore 1379 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 4: his leg up, man, and that was it was over. 1380 01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,679 Speaker 4: He never really played again never. So that's all I'm saying. 1381 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:45,559 Speaker 3: And I know eradicated that whole part of that was gone. 1382 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,080 Speaker 1: Yep. And so I know it sounds like Captain Fuddy Duddy, 1383 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:53,040 Speaker 1: But my goodness, if if my favorite running back heads 1384 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 1: off to play flag in the Olympics, I am no, 1385 01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,840 Speaker 1: thank you, no, thank you. 1386 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,600 Speaker 4: Well, I know Tarrek Hills want some. I mean just 1387 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,240 Speaker 4: think about it. Just this in the quarterback right, like, 1388 01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:08,080 Speaker 4: who's the quarterback? 1389 01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 5: Is it? 1390 01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes? 1391 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:10,479 Speaker 4: Is it. 1392 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:13,519 Speaker 3: You know, Josh Allen? 1393 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:14,280 Speaker 5: Is it? 1394 01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 3: Like the world is in trouble. 1395 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,000 Speaker 1: Well, I know exactly who it is. I know exactly 1396 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:24,679 Speaker 1: who it is, and I will tell you coming up next. 1397 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Mark Willardy from Slum this is Fox Sports Radio. 1398 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,200 Speaker 3: I was gonna say that better be the edited version. 1399 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:38,000 Speaker 2: Of course it is heart skipping Beefer set. You're like, okay, okay, okay. 1400 01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,000 Speaker 4: I had to check myself because I was just about 1401 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 4: to jump right on into it, like I'm driving in 1402 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:42,880 Speaker 4: the car. 1403 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:43,280 Speaker 9: Right. 1404 01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,920 Speaker 1: You better do the edited version too, right. Oh man, 1405 01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:47,439 Speaker 1: Now you're. 1406 01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,479 Speaker 3: Trying to set me up right there. That was the 1407 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,400 Speaker 3: set up right there. Promise I see what's happening. 1408 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 1: She'll do what she did off the top of the show. 1409 01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:58,360 Speaker 1: Just turn you off. It's okay, it's all good. We're 1410 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 1: in the Fox Sports Radio studios. Mark Willardy from Salam 1411 01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 1: coming up at the top of the hour. Something we 1412 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:08,719 Speaker 1: want to address about the departure the end of the road. 1413 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 1: Shout out boys to men of ESPN's around the horn. 1414 01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:15,320 Speaker 1: More on that coming up around the bend. 1415 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,680 Speaker 2: But I can tell you who the quarterback will be 1416 01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:24,719 Speaker 2: for Team USA's flag football team. That's easy. That's Dak Prescott. 1417 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:29,880 Speaker 2: What he isn't one who makes the most money, so 1418 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:33,879 Speaker 2: he must he must be the best quarterback in America. 1419 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 4: Right. 1420 01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:36,040 Speaker 3: No, it doesn't work like that. 1421 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know it doesn't. So like it's been fun. 1422 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:43,240 Speaker 1: The debate raged on here in the Bay Area and 1423 01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:47,360 Speaker 1: well beyond for the better part of the last year 1424 01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:52,920 Speaker 1: and a half. And the final answer came in nine 1425 01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 1: days ago. You and I did not get a chance 1426 01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,280 Speaker 1: to talk about it last week and we were off, 1427 01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 1: But the final answer came in, and Brock Purdy is 1428 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:07,840 Speaker 1: going to be the seventh highest paid quarterback in the NFL. Yes, 1429 01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:08,439 Speaker 1: there's all. 1430 01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,799 Speaker 2: Sorts of intricacies, the guarantees, the YadA YadA whatever. 1431 01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 3: Perfect, The average. 1432 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 1: Deal is fifty three million per year in New Years. 1433 01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:21,599 Speaker 2: When you add in what he's going to make this year, 1434 01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:26,320 Speaker 2: it's more down around forty five forty six. But I'm 1435 01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:32,080 Speaker 2: with you, perfect, And additionally, I was really excited to 1436 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 2: see the way Purty handled it because apparently reports are 1437 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:41,400 Speaker 2: they walked in and started their ask at sixty five million, 1438 01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:43,639 Speaker 2: which is absurd, But why not ask? 1439 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,720 Speaker 1: I do think he's better than Dak Prescott, So if 1440 01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:52,120 Speaker 1: Dak's going to make sixty why wouldn't you ask? But Okay, 1441 01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,880 Speaker 1: it ends up at fifty three. And rather than doing 1442 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,720 Speaker 1: what forty nine er players have been doing for the 1443 01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:03,000 Speaker 1: last few summers and cratering the entire offseason with major 1444 01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,240 Speaker 1: negotiations and holdouts, and the forty nine ers did themselves 1445 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:09,120 Speaker 1: no favors either with the way they handled it. Brock 1446 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:13,559 Speaker 1: instead took yet another step in his leadership. I thought 1447 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,639 Speaker 1: and and took this deal, which feels very. 1448 01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,280 Speaker 4: Very fair to me. I agree with that. You know, 1449 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:28,960 Speaker 4: the guarantee money is what one one. Yeah that, yes, absolutely, 1450 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,840 Speaker 4: And now you can now continue to put pieces or 1451 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 4: keep pieces around him. Look, he was severely underpaid for 1452 01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 4: what he's done. Now, all the arguments of people like 1453 01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 4: you can't pay him, he's not worth it, that those 1454 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 4: are obscene arguments. Obscene arguments because you keep paying Dak 1455 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 4: Prescott with nothing to show for it, nothing to any 1456 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,840 Speaker 4: other quarterback. The fact that Brock Purdy was the last 1457 01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,840 Speaker 4: pick in the draft is the only reason people had 1458 01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,120 Speaker 4: a problem with him. I said it before, I said it. 1459 01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:06,880 Speaker 4: During his time his rise playing, we were every night 1460 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 4: his rookie year he got a chance to play. We 1461 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 4: were there talking about what he was doing and what 1462 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,680 Speaker 4: he was accomplishing all the way to the NFC Championship game, 1463 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:17,439 Speaker 4: where unfortunately he got injured. 1464 01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 3: I'm still a firm believer. 1465 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:21,439 Speaker 4: I think they would have beat Philadelphia in that game 1466 01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,040 Speaker 4: and he would have went to his first Super Bowl 1467 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 4: as a rookie, followed it up the next year with 1468 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:31,639 Speaker 4: a Super Bowl. So you know, when you look at it, if, 1469 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,679 Speaker 4: like I said before, if he was a first round 1470 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:39,280 Speaker 4: draft pick, if Brock Purty, and I'll even take it 1471 01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:43,639 Speaker 4: a step further, if Brock Purdy was the first pick 1472 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:48,480 Speaker 4: in the draft that year and he accomplished what he accomplished, 1473 01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,080 Speaker 4: we would be heaping praise on him. It might have 1474 01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 4: gotten seventy million, We would be heaping praise on him. 1475 01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:01,120 Speaker 4: You literally, he's everything you want in the first round 1476 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:03,840 Speaker 4: draft pick. He is the face of the front, the 1477 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,559 Speaker 4: whole nine yards. But because they're waiting for the other 1478 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,760 Speaker 4: shoe to drive, Oh, it's the coaches. I'll tell you what, 1479 01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:15,760 Speaker 4: if you have any first round draft pick quarterback who's successful, 1480 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 4: it has to do with the coach and the roster. 1481 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:22,000 Speaker 3: Of course it has to do with It has to 1482 01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:23,200 Speaker 3: do with the coach and the roster. 1483 01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 2: Of course it does. 1484 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:28,720 Speaker 4: So this notion of oh, well it's Shanahan. Uh no, 1485 01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:34,320 Speaker 4: it's not Shanahan. It's Shanahan, as well as his ability 1486 01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:38,599 Speaker 4: to I mean, what happened to Trey Lance Shanahan? 1487 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 1: Was it with Trey Lance right right, And why didn't 1488 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,759 Speaker 1: anybody blink when Trevor Lawrence got more than Rock Purty. 1489 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:50,440 Speaker 4: We still wait on Trevor Lawrence to preat dividends. 1490 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not right, not sure exactly what Jacksonville has there, 1491 01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,000 Speaker 1: and I'm not putting that all on Trevor Lawrence's feet, 1492 01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:00,760 Speaker 1: but I think you're you're over A point is that 1493 01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:02,879 Speaker 1: your surroundings always matter. 1494 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 4: Always, no matter who you are. I don't care when 1495 01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 4: you were drafted or what, it always matters. And to 1496 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:12,640 Speaker 4: penalize somebody because they're well coached and they have a 1497 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,000 Speaker 4: good roster, it seemed ridiculous to me. 1498 01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:19,960 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep. Absolutely, he left ego at the door. 1499 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:20,920 Speaker 3: Yep. 1500 01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:22,960 Speaker 1: He left ego at the door, which you don't you 1501 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 1: don't see everybody do, because he easily could have been 1502 01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 1: I'm not taking less than Trevor Lawrence and TUA. 1503 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:28,439 Speaker 2: Why would I do that. 1504 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:30,840 Speaker 4: He wants to win and that's what you want out 1505 01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 4: of your quarterback. Ax Tom Brady, Yep, no question about it. 1506 01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:38,000 Speaker 4: Did his entire career all right? Much more on Matt. 1507 01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 4: We'll get to the around the horn situation as we 1508 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 4: continue Sports Radio Okay, down the stretch we come with 1509 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,519 Speaker 4: Knicks Pacers. They're starting the fourth quarter pacers up ten. 1510 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:55,360 Speaker 1: Down the stretch we come as well, broadcasting live from 1511 01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:58,960 Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio studios. And still a lot to 1512 01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:02,280 Speaker 1: get to a day where we have tried to spend 1513 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:06,080 Speaker 1: as much time as possible with old blending with young 1514 01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,040 Speaker 1: the best that we possibly can. And I feel that 1515 01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 1: a little bit with this thing that I want to 1516 01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 1: get into next. First of all, whenever it's something is 1517 01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 1: successful in our business, I like that it doesn't matter 1518 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,879 Speaker 1: if I worked for it or not. It's a wonderful 1519 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:26,559 Speaker 1: thing in our business when something is successful, because our business, 1520 01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 1: like so many others, it kind of feels, especially in 1521 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 1: the last five years, like it's almost under attack. So 1522 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:36,160 Speaker 1: I want to salute everybody who was ever involved in 1523 01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:37,920 Speaker 1: ESPN's Around the Horn. 1524 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 2: This became. 1525 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:46,639 Speaker 1: A staple in our industry. But it's an interesting one, 1526 01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,519 Speaker 1: and I have to admit there's a little bit of 1527 01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 1: feelings caught up in this one, especially when Tim cawlishaw 1528 01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,200 Speaker 1: who I don't know and I think does a really 1529 01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 1: nice job, apparently made a comment about how ESPN is 1530 01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:12,160 Speaker 1: shifting away from hiring those who are considered media people 1531 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 1: and instead hiring well e from people like yourself former athletes. 1532 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:23,719 Speaker 2: Now I have no comment on that. That's great. 1533 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean, if you've got an athlete who has lived 1534 01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:32,000 Speaker 1: this and can do a wonderful job of storytelling more 1535 01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 1: so than someone who hasn't lived it, well I would 1536 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:38,040 Speaker 1: pick that too. But here's where this one gets me. 1537 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:41,600 Speaker 1: And you may not have even known that this was 1538 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,400 Speaker 1: a dynamic when I started in this business and. 1539 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:53,320 Speaker 2: For a number of years after that, newspaper writers just 1540 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 2: newspaper writers. They were the one seed in the press box, 1541 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 2: if you will. They were the intelligent ones. They were 1542 01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,760 Speaker 2: the ones who had the real story. They were the 1543 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 2: ones who had an air about them. 1544 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:21,600 Speaker 1: And if you were in the broadcast profession, you were shoetcum, 1545 01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 1: you were shostkum. 1546 01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:28,920 Speaker 2: If I could tell you, and. 1547 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 1: This is as a pop just trying to find my 1548 01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,200 Speaker 1: way out there, if I could tell you how many 1549 01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:41,240 Speaker 1: times a newspaper person made me feel small, if I 1550 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,160 Speaker 1: had a dollar for each one of those times, I 1551 01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:47,760 Speaker 1: could tell you stories of when my radio network would 1552 01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 1: send me to cover a major event, and in fact, 1553 01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,200 Speaker 1: one of the times was. 1554 01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,800 Speaker 2: We went to the Big Apple for basketball. 1555 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't the Knicks, It wasn't the next it was 1556 01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:06,320 Speaker 1: the New Jersey Nets Jason Kidds Nets hosting the Los 1557 01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers in what was an unbelievably quick sweep. But 1558 01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,560 Speaker 1: do you want to know where the seats were that 1559 01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 1: the electronic media received for the NBA Finals. Yes, I 1560 01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,840 Speaker 1: still have pieces of the roof of the building in 1561 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 1: my hair from where they put me. And that's the 1562 01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:32,360 Speaker 1: way it worked back then. You had to deal with 1563 01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:36,920 Speaker 1: that if you were electronic media. Oh you were just 1564 01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:43,280 Speaker 1: these loud mouth, non intelligent, not knowing the real story 1565 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:49,760 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, pitilance of a problem in the media world. 1566 01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:55,000 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, then the world started 1567 01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,799 Speaker 1: to change, and attention spans got shorter, and digital media 1568 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 1: started to flow, and all of the sudden, here was 1569 01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 1: poof around the horn. And it was a daily reminder 1570 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,800 Speaker 1: for those in the electronic media that it was four boxes, 1571 01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,759 Speaker 1: and in each box was someone who thumbed their nose 1572 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:20,080 Speaker 1: at the electronic media for years who was now a 1573 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:24,759 Speaker 1: member of the electronic media. And it was really annoying. 1574 01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 1: I got to admit that it was really annoying watching 1575 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,160 Speaker 1: and these are I don't even know them, So it's 1576 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 1: not personal, but there were so many of them newspaper 1577 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 1: writers who had spent years just looking down on the 1578 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,760 Speaker 1: electronic media, and all of a sudden they went, uh, 1579 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:47,799 Speaker 1: you know what, if I want to keep getting a paycheck, 1580 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,640 Speaker 1: get up, gets some makeup on. 1581 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 2: They gets some makeup on. 1582 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,080 Speaker 1: And so for for me, just a little bit e 1583 01:23:56,680 --> 01:24:00,479 Speaker 1: that show will always kind of represent that there's a 1584 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:02,320 Speaker 1: little bit of how you like us now, a. 1585 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,200 Speaker 2: Little bit tucked into that show. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 1586 01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:10,559 Speaker 1: So it's interesting that the newspaper people who are now 1587 01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:14,559 Speaker 1: losing their job, oh, they're hiring a bunch of ex 1588 01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:18,240 Speaker 1: athletes right right, the same way they used to hire 1589 01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of ex newspaper writers. 1590 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,720 Speaker 2: So anyway, just something that kind of popped to my 1591 01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:26,400 Speaker 2: head this week. 1592 01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:33,400 Speaker 3: So are you doing your are the Simpsons Land? 1593 01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:33,640 Speaker 4: No? 1594 01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 1: No, not at all. First of all, I would never 1595 01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,080 Speaker 1: do that to somebody who's kind of losing a job. 1596 01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:40,680 Speaker 1: And second of all, this is not like all these 1597 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,680 Speaker 1: people got fired. Like the show is just going whatever. 1598 01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 1: It's run its course, and it's an iconic show and 1599 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:48,800 Speaker 1: it will be forever remembered. And I actually think a 1600 01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:50,640 Speaker 1: bunch of the I know some of the people on there, 1601 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 1: and they've done a wonderful, wonderful job. 1602 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 4: But nobody's watching because and I'll give you some probably 1603 01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:59,519 Speaker 4: a little bit of insight onto why this has changed. 1604 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,880 Speaker 4: Because so many athletes now are their own verticals. They're 1605 01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,360 Speaker 4: going to tell you the story on their own platforms. 1606 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 4: They're going to be able to be heard and seen. 1607 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,920 Speaker 4: And so companies are like, Okay, well don't do it there, 1608 01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:15,840 Speaker 4: or you can do it there, but do it here 1609 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,759 Speaker 4: as well. So bring those viewers to our show. Well, 1610 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,760 Speaker 4: you know, we'll create a show around you and you 1611 01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 4: can bring all of this stuff. It's the same thing 1612 01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:29,320 Speaker 4: they did with with the Pat McAfee show, right like 1613 01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:33,080 Speaker 4: that was a podcast, a raunchy in your face podcast 1614 01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:35,640 Speaker 4: to turn into a what a radio show to turn 1615 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 4: into a podcast which turned into a mega deal over 1616 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 4: at ESPN, you know, one of the only shows you 1617 01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 4: can cuss on ESPN, which blew my mind. But that's 1618 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,080 Speaker 4: in the paperwork. We're not gonna change who we are. 1619 01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,479 Speaker 4: Our viewers want us a certain way, so we're gonna 1620 01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,479 Speaker 4: keep giving it to them a certain way. And because 1621 01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 4: you bring that amount of viewers, then bosses are okay 1622 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 4: with it. It happens. That's how that's how things change, 1623 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:06,280 Speaker 4: no doubt. And so that's you know, I don't know 1624 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,600 Speaker 4: how many people were still watching Around the Horn. I 1625 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 4: was a fan of Around the Horn. I thought it 1626 01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:15,599 Speaker 4: was good insight. But yeah, people want to hear from athletes, 1627 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:19,800 Speaker 4: you know, not solely, but you know Draymond Green who's 1628 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:26,320 Speaker 4: currently playing, you know, Michael Parsons, like all these guys 1629 01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:30,840 Speaker 4: who are now taking control of their voice and their abilities, 1630 01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:36,679 Speaker 4: uh to speak directly to fans. Yeah, if you either 1631 01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:40,360 Speaker 4: get on or get off. In terms of networks, that's 1632 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,880 Speaker 4: what that's what's happening. Everything is is sports based in 1633 01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 4: terms of viewerships, and being able to capture an audience 1634 01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,080 Speaker 4: like that is big business right now. The mandate for 1635 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,439 Speaker 4: sports based programming. 1636 01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:57,160 Speaker 3: Is huge. 1637 01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:03,600 Speaker 4: And that goes for talk, that goes for scripted unscripted 1638 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,960 Speaker 4: for sure. And so you might as well be in 1639 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:11,720 Speaker 4: the athlete business if you can find great athletes who 1640 01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 4: who really take this serious and and and want to like, 1641 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,680 Speaker 4: I've been doing this for twenty five years. Literally, I've 1642 01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:23,920 Speaker 4: been in this space for twenty five years. I started 1643 01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:26,679 Speaker 4: at a time where there was nowhere for an offensive 1644 01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:31,600 Speaker 4: lineman to be heard seen anything like this is this 1645 01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 4: is real life. And I'm not tooting my own horn. 1646 01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:35,720 Speaker 4: I'm letting you know. 1647 01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:38,600 Speaker 1: I I was. 1648 01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:43,120 Speaker 4: I had to pave a way that didn't exist, and 1649 01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:44,760 Speaker 4: so I enjoy it. 1650 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:45,320 Speaker 3: I love it. 1651 01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,600 Speaker 4: That's why I still do it. I didn't have to 1652 01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:51,640 Speaker 4: do it. I enjoyed doing it. I knew when I 1653 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,080 Speaker 4: was done playing, I was going to really jump into 1654 01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 4: it full full time, and it's been a blessing. It's 1655 01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 4: it's been really great for myself, my family to be 1656 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,559 Speaker 4: able to work consistently that long, even when the world 1657 01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:07,639 Speaker 4: turned off the pandemic, I didn't miss a day all 1658 01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:10,600 Speaker 4: of those things. The writers strike, well, you know my 1659 01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:13,360 Speaker 4: other profession.

No, no, no, 1666 01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,920 Speaker 1: that's too bad. Yeah, I mean the offensive linemen are uh, 1667 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 1: people are like oh waity yeah, I mean I'm thinking 1668 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:46,680 Speaker 1: my mind's bouncing around Andrew Whitworth and Jason Kelsey. 1669 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:49,880 Speaker 4: When I tell you there were I had a show, 1670 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:54,800 Speaker 4: a TV and a radio show in Denver when offensive 1671 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,080 Speaker 4: linemen weren't even talking to the media. 1672 01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,960 Speaker 1: Schlareth boy speaking of Denver Sis. 1673 01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 3: Right, yep, I was the only one with the show. 1674 01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 4: And so because when I when I got to Denver, 1675 01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:11,640 Speaker 4: I already had you know, I had been doing the 1676 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:13,559 Speaker 4: show in Atlanta and I was like, no, I'm gonna 1677 01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:15,200 Speaker 4: keep it going. And they were like, well, you're gonna 1678 01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:16,840 Speaker 4: get fined. And I was like, well, I guess I'm 1679 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:21,160 Speaker 4: getting fined, you know, And you know, I just kept 1680 01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:24,920 Speaker 4: it going. But that's that's where I was coming from, right, 1681 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:26,920 Speaker 4: how important it was for me. 1682 01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:31,639 Speaker 1: Well, and and I've always found and I'm not saying 1683 01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:33,760 Speaker 1: this because I am talking to you right now, I've 1684 01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:38,160 Speaker 1: I find it to absolutely be true as somebody who 1685 01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, did a show in San Diego for years 1686 01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:46,880 Speaker 1: with our our comrade Schornberger. Yeah, and uh and at 1687 01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,800 Speaker 1: that time Nick Hardwick was doing a show on our 1688 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: station as well. And then there's you and you and 1689 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 1: I have had a number of runs here together at 1690 01:29:56,240 --> 01:30:00,360 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and others. I kind of like, I 1691 01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:05,679 Speaker 1: don't want to paint with a broad brush, but offensive Lineman. Yeah, 1692 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:16,200 Speaker 1: like that that position lends itself to intelligence personality, right, 1693 01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:22,080 Speaker 1: and and like obviously you guys have I mean NFL players, 1694 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,519 Speaker 1: so you have plenty of confidence, but like there's this 1695 01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:30,160 Speaker 1: sort of engaging, refreshing lack of ego with what's going on. 1696 01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 2: I mean, think about what you do for a living. 1697 01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 1: It's just like protect other people and get no credit 1698 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:40,920 Speaker 1: for it whatsoever. Zero even though you the group, the 1699 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:43,360 Speaker 1: five of you, that's what makes an NFL team go 1700 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:46,160 Speaker 1: period period. 1701 01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:47,879 Speaker 4: Mahomes. 1702 01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:50,280 Speaker 1: Yes, you have a good five there, you're good. You 1703 01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,760 Speaker 1: have a bad five there, you suck. I don't care 1704 01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:54,960 Speaker 1: what you've got going on with the rest of your team. 1705 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,559 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a bullpen in baseball. Nobody knows 1706 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,679 Speaker 1: who those guys are. But if they're really good, you're good. 1707 01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:06,800 Speaker 1: You're good. If you have a bad bullpen, I mean people, 1708 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:08,920 Speaker 1: if you want to know, I know that they're reigning 1709 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:10,880 Speaker 1: champs now, but if you want to know why all 1710 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,760 Speaker 1: those division championships for the Dodgers for a ten year 1711 01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:18,200 Speaker 1: period never won a World Series for so long, bullpen 1712 01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:22,120 Speaker 1: the best lineup, they had, the best starting rotation. 1713 01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:25,479 Speaker 2: The bullpen was not very good. Same thing with an 1714 01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:26,280 Speaker 2: offensive line. 1715 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:30,960 Speaker 1: So anyway, Yeah, I'm glad that you were part of 1716 01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 1: the group that paved the way. 1717 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just something I was passionate about him. 1718 01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:39,080 Speaker 4: Look, I was doing shows for like, it's twenty five 1719 01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:42,000 Speaker 4: dollars gift certificates to like Tommy Bahama, Swear to god. 1720 01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:44,120 Speaker 2: I still am Wait a minute, that's not what you get. 1721 01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:50,400 Speaker 4: No, but that was literally it was no money. I 1722 01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:52,360 Speaker 4: was told, hey, we want you to be on the show, 1723 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 4: but we can't pay you. Yeah, I listen, this is real. 1724 01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:58,439 Speaker 4: Remember a show called Best Damn Sports Show? Of course, 1725 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,519 Speaker 4: so I hosted the Best Damn Sports Show the last 1726 01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:04,280 Speaker 4: six months. It was on the air from January to 1727 01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:06,719 Speaker 4: June for no money. 1728 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:08,840 Speaker 1: Oh god, for six months or. 1729 01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:13,800 Speaker 3: Six months for no money. Now now I know they 1730 01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:14,320 Speaker 3: were lying. 1731 01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:18,439 Speaker 1: Yeah they do that, right, they do that. 1732 01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:22,240 Speaker 4: But I was playing, I was in the NFL. I 1733 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:24,880 Speaker 4: was I was like, look, I knew what that would 1734 01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:30,599 Speaker 4: give to me. I knew the experience on a national 1735 01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:34,000 Speaker 4: stage like that, not just talking about football. I knew 1736 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,960 Speaker 4: what that would be. And the funny thing is one 1737 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:43,320 Speaker 4: of the like the PA's on that during that run, 1738 01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:46,320 Speaker 4: ended up being an exec over at Fox Sports one 1739 01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:48,920 Speaker 4: when they launched and he was like, Yo, you know 1740 01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:50,840 Speaker 4: would be great for this show. I from Salamsa. I 1741 01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:53,360 Speaker 4: called in, I interviewed and met with everybody, and that 1742 01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:58,400 Speaker 4: got me the FS one gig. So I was always 1743 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:04,360 Speaker 4: thinking beyond, Like it wasn't about the money then, it 1744 01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:08,520 Speaker 4: was about the exposure and the platform that was nonexistent 1745 01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:12,000 Speaker 4: for someone who was in the quarterback, running back, defensive end. 1746 01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:16,640 Speaker 4: You know who wasn't who didn't wasn't flashy and all 1747 01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:19,439 Speaker 4: of that. I just came with a different energy and 1748 01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:25,320 Speaker 4: so I'm I applaud athletes who come in and in 1749 01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:30,040 Speaker 4: very few it's very difficult for athletes to be able 1750 01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 4: to talk all sports. Now, I've always prided myself I 1751 01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:37,639 Speaker 4: didn't take a job at ESPN when I was offered 1752 01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:39,160 Speaker 4: when I retired because I didn't want to just be 1753 01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:42,840 Speaker 4: on NFL Live and then and then I didn't want 1754 01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:46,240 Speaker 4: to move to Bristol Pristolle, Connecticut for four days out 1755 01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:50,000 Speaker 4: of the four week. Those two things. But what it 1756 01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 4: did was it didn't allow them to put me in 1757 01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 4: the box. And I took the Fox job because I 1758 01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 4: was like, hey, look man, I want to talk basketball. 1759 01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:58,200 Speaker 4: And you remember that Gary Payton was on that show 1760 01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:04,840 Speaker 4: with me, Andy Roddick, Gabe Kapler, and Donovan McNab. So 1761 01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:07,800 Speaker 4: we talked all sports all the time, went to the 1762 01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:11,040 Speaker 4: you know, covered the NBA All Star Game with Gary. 1763 01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:16,000 Speaker 4: It was that type of energy and that let a 1764 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:19,080 Speaker 4: lot of people know that I could talk about all sports. 1765 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:23,240 Speaker 4: And so now in our show, like a lot of 1766 01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:28,960 Speaker 4: guys take off after football season, their shows go away 1767 01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:31,880 Speaker 4: after after football season, and then they come back in 1768 01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:32,240 Speaker 4: the fall. 1769 01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:34,840 Speaker 2: You notice that, of course you're still here. 1770 01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:39,360 Speaker 4: Well yeah, yeah, I probably myself and been a year 1771 01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:40,280 Speaker 4: round type of guy. 1772 01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:44,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like Shapiro doesn't it doesn't call me.

I've been able to experience the game like 1783 01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,240 Speaker 4: most people can't. So that's not a stretch for me 1784 01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:15,160 Speaker 4: to break down a game or talk about the nuances 1785 01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:17,280 Speaker 4: of football and all of that. You know, I like 1786 01:35:17,360 --> 01:35:19,320 Speaker 4: to push myself. That's a comfort for me.

Tampa Bay with its 1956 01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:54,759 Speaker 10: fifth straight victory thirteen nothing over Toronto at the Yakes 1957 01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:57,360 Speaker 10: won at Colorado five to four rain delay in the 1958 01:43:57,400 --> 01:44:00,320 Speaker 10: fifth inning of about an hour forty five. They Yanks 1959 01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:03,760 Speaker 10: have won thirteen of their last seventeen. In other words, 1960 01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,200 Speaker 10: the Yankees easily have more wins in the last three 1961 01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:08,400 Speaker 10: weeks than the Rockies have the whole season so far 1962 01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:12,519 Speaker 10: in two months, because Colorado's record is nine and forty four, 1963 01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:15,639 Speaker 10: the Rockies had runners at first and second, one out 1964 01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:18,800 Speaker 10: bottom of the ninth and left them. So Colorado had 1965 01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:21,599 Speaker 10: started this season with a six and twenty five record, 1966 01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:25,280 Speaker 10: which is a bad enough. They're three and nineteen since then, 1967 01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:28,120 Speaker 10: so even worse. They'll be facing the Mets the next 1968 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:32,400 Speaker 10: couple of weekends. Today's starter and loser, Antonio Senzateela is 1969 01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,760 Speaker 10: one and nine with an ERA of six point five zero. 1970 01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:40,519 Speaker 10: The Rockies in series this season, well, they haven't won 1971 01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:43,600 Speaker 10: a single series yet. They are zero to seventeen in 1972 01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:47,080 Speaker 10: series the first two months of this campaign, and they 1973 01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:49,519 Speaker 10: do have the worst major league record through fifty three 1974 01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:52,120 Speaker 10: games of a season since nineteen oh one. 1975 01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:57,000 Speaker 1: Bank to you, okay, but not ever since nineteen oh one. 1976 01:44:57,160 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 10: Is pretty much injuries. 1977 01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:00,360 Speaker 2: Okay, okay. 1978 01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:02,040 Speaker 1: I thought you were going to start telling us all 1979 01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:03,479 Speaker 1: about the team in nineteen oh one. 1980 01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:07,519 Speaker 10: The American League didn't exist in nineteen oh one, So 1981 01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:09,679 Speaker 10: that's the bulk of baseball history. 1982 01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:14,960 Speaker 1: Minor detail. Awesome stuff. Steve as as always, thank you, sir. 1983 01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:19,880 Speaker 1: We are live in the Fox Sports Radio studios. Yeah, 1984 01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:24,000 Speaker 1: the Knicks are ahead, Ephraim, the Knicks are ahead. 1985 01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:25,680 Speaker 3: Can they pull it off? 1986 01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:29,560 Speaker 2: Well, they have to, they have to obviously. 1987 01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:34,519 Speaker 1: They cannot go down three to nothing, and I don't 1988 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:38,280 Speaker 1: even really think winning this game is going to save 1989 01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:41,960 Speaker 1: them at all, but I give them some credit. And 1990 01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:44,679 Speaker 1: it's another reminder we see this a lot. A twenty 1991 01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:47,320 Speaker 1: point lead in the second quarter is just not what 1992 01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 1: it used to be. The way these teams shoot three 1993 01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:54,160 Speaker 1: pointers now a twenty point lead in the second quarter. 1994 01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:56,559 Speaker 1: It feels like almost always they go away. 1995 01:45:57,479 --> 01:45:59,719 Speaker 3: It really does. Yeah, I mean with the three ball, 1996 01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:02,240 Speaker 3: you know, it's. 1997 01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,000 Speaker 4: I always tell like when I'm coaching, I tell my 1998 01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:10,960 Speaker 4: team if we're down, very rare but down, always tell 1999 01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:15,920 Speaker 4: them three stops, three scores, Three stops, three scores. That 2000 01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:18,439 Speaker 4: a chance to twelve point swing. If you're shooting threes 2001 01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:22,960 Speaker 4: right right, Well, if it's it's an eighteen point swing, 2002 01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:24,800 Speaker 4: are a twelve point swing? 2003 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:25,080 Speaker 3: Right? 2004 01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:28,519 Speaker 4: If you score three times, that's six points from the 2005 01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:31,720 Speaker 4: two point area, and if you stop them, that six 2006 01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:35,160 Speaker 4: points right. So that's that's my formula for getting back 2007 01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:38,200 Speaker 4: in the game. So now a team can really focus 2008 01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:41,200 Speaker 4: on a singular thing like let's get three stops and 2009 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:44,320 Speaker 4: three scores, and if you get a stop and then 2010 01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:46,800 Speaker 4: don't score, you got start it over again, right, like 2011 01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:49,320 Speaker 4: three in a row, three stops, three scores. You can 2012 01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:51,080 Speaker 4: no matter how much you're down by, you can. 2013 01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:51,519 Speaker 3: Get into it. 2014 01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:53,800 Speaker 4: You can get back into a game because what that 2015 01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:58,240 Speaker 4: does is it changes momentum as well. That's a psychology 2016 01:46:58,320 --> 01:46:59,080 Speaker 4: behind the sport. 2017 01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:02,800 Speaker 1: I hear you man, no, and I'm looking at these 2018 01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:05,320 Speaker 1: and it's coming down the stretch here. We will keep 2019 01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:09,360 Speaker 1: you posted on this one yep, two point game. Lots 2020 01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:12,920 Speaker 1: going on. Woh the physicality is good like this this 2021 01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:15,040 Speaker 1: series too, being so surprising. 2022 01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:16,840 Speaker 2: I said this to you a few weeks ago. I'm like, 2023 01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:18,240 Speaker 2: Boston and Cleveland is like. 2024 01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:22,439 Speaker 1: Definitely the Eastern Conference finals, and neither of them ended 2025 01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:26,040 Speaker 1: up getting here, and so we do have a little randomness. 2026 01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:26,280 Speaker 12: You know. 2027 01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:29,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota I think is definitely one of the best teams 2028 01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:31,760 Speaker 1: in the West, but they were the six seed. Oklahoma 2029 01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,759 Speaker 1: City is the only team that's here that's like super 2030 01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:38,880 Speaker 1: duper supposed to be here. So I think a fair 2031 01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:42,280 Speaker 1: moment to ask if I asked you who is the 2032 01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:46,680 Speaker 1: most underrated player in the NBA, how would you answer that? 2033 01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:56,240 Speaker 3: Oof? The most underrated player and is he playing right now? Hmm. 2034 01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:58,599 Speaker 3: I'm just going through. 2035 01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:06,040 Speaker 4: My file indecks of NBA games in NBA players and 2036 01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:10,360 Speaker 4: a half to go by the way year. I think, 2037 01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:14,559 Speaker 4: coming off the year he had last year, people were 2038 01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:18,800 Speaker 4: expecting more during the regular season from Halliburton. Uh, but 2039 01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,800 Speaker 4: he showed up this playoffs. I mean his ability to 2040 01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:29,320 Speaker 4: score Brunton with a tough runner in the lane. I'll 2041 01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:38,559 Speaker 4: tell you this, bruntson to me is an MVP candidate, 2042 01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:43,760 Speaker 4: and I don't think he gets the love because of 2043 01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:48,960 Speaker 4: his stature. I mean he's a small guard, but when 2044 01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,240 Speaker 4: you look what he does for his team, for the 2045 01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:54,960 Speaker 4: Knicks and have them where they are now, people talk 2046 01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:59,320 Speaker 4: about him, but not enough. They really don't. I mean, 2047 01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:02,000 Speaker 4: he goes as their team goes. I remember when the 2048 01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:04,599 Speaker 4: Lakers went up to Madison Square Garden and played against him, 2049 01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,120 Speaker 4: and it was going back and forth. We couldn't stop 2050 01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:08,840 Speaker 4: him and he hurt his ankle. 2051 01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:13,000 Speaker 1: Yep, I watched that was a great game, won that game. 2052 01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:15,320 Speaker 3: Yep. He heard his ankle had to come ah and 2053 01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,479 Speaker 3: he was out for about five games after that. 2054 01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:19,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of weeks at least. 2055 01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:24,040 Speaker 4: And So for me, what Brunton means to this team 2056 01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:30,679 Speaker 4: and what he would mean on any team, I would 2057 01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,560 Speaker 4: I would pick him. But Halliburton to me is the 2058 01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:39,439 Speaker 4: most underrated because he was voted the most overrated If 2059 01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:40,160 Speaker 4: that makes sense. 2060 01:49:40,720 --> 01:49:43,439 Speaker 1: It does. People may not know what you're kind of 2061 01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:45,960 Speaker 1: referring to, but yeah, I think it was the Athletic 2062 01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:50,760 Speaker 1: that put together an interview of some anonymous players, and 2063 01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:55,120 Speaker 1: his name came up the most as the most overrated player. 2064 01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:58,320 Speaker 2: Which is really funny to release that before these playoffs. 2065 01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:02,000 Speaker 1: Because scorching Earth, right, I mean, unbelievable. Nobody saw this 2066 01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:06,760 Speaker 1: coming and just miraculous comebacks and miraculous shots and you know, 2067 01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:09,360 Speaker 1: his dad holding up a towel in front of Giannis. 2068 01:50:09,439 --> 01:50:14,200 Speaker 1: I mean, like just a wild run of attention that 2069 01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:17,400 Speaker 1: has taken place for this one player. I wonder about 2070 01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:20,640 Speaker 1: one of his teammates too, in it was huge in 2071 01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:23,320 Speaker 1: game two. That's another name that I would think needs 2072 01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:24,560 Speaker 1: to come up in the conversation. 2073 01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:29,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, because you know, the bottom line is SKAM has 2074 01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:35,200 Speaker 4: championship experience. They've won championship right with Toronto, and I 2075 01:50:35,320 --> 01:50:39,519 Speaker 4: think that's it's it's on display. He completely took over 2076 01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:43,880 Speaker 4: Game two, like from this outset, and he kept the 2077 01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:48,479 Speaker 4: knicks of of of kilter and they couldn't ever recover 2078 01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:48,880 Speaker 4: from that. 2079 01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:49,400 Speaker 2: You know. 2080 01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:55,599 Speaker 4: But I will say I love Josh Hart. I loved 2081 01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:57,920 Speaker 4: him when he was a young puppet the Lakers, but 2082 01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:02,439 Speaker 4: what he does to this team is unreal. Another player 2083 01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:05,400 Speaker 4: I think is underrated is Alex Caruso. 2084 01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2085 01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:14,160 Speaker 4: When you watch Alex Caruso guard the Joker, I mean, 2086 01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:23,160 Speaker 4: and then Julius Randall and then Anthony Edwards and it's 2087 01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:25,680 Speaker 4: just like, oh my goodness. And then hit that three 2088 01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:28,120 Speaker 4: over there, those three in d guys. I love those guys. 2089 01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:31,000 Speaker 4: They're selfless, they go for the rebounds that they're all hustled. 2090 01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:34,479 Speaker 4: And so I think he's another underrated player. He just 2091 01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:36,360 Speaker 4: happened to be an ex Lakers. Well boy, we can 2092 01:51:36,439 --> 01:51:36,800 Speaker 4: pick them. 2093 01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:42,599 Speaker 1: Pick him yep, yep, let him go a yeah, nicks 2094 01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:46,640 Speaker 1: her up by four with about twenty seconds left to go. 2095 01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:49,160 Speaker 3: We'll have that nine point seven seconds. 2096 01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:49,880 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep. 2097 01:51:49,960 --> 01:51:52,519 Speaker 1: There it is now, and then we'll have the exciting 2098 01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:55,360 Speaker 1: conclusion of that here in a second. Plus is one 2099 01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:58,040 Speaker 1: more quarterback that we need to talk about, and we 2100 01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:00,599 Speaker 1: will do that coming up next with you from Salama, 2101 01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:05,400 Speaker 1: Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio.
