59
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: then after that we got Dodgers at.

60
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: Yankee Stadium tonight.

61
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: Now, this is the first time, you guys, the Dodgers

62
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: have traveled to the Bronx and played the Yankees since

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen.

64
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: So this is like a big deal for a lot

65
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: of reasons.

66
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 4: Okay, the history behind this, I mean, your teams in general.

67
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: Some of the biggest history in baseball.

68
00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: That's fun.

69
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: But practice looked and felt like October baseball yesterday. These

70
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: are two of the best teams in baseball. These are

71
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: the two teams that I have meeting in the World Series. Now,

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: I got a lot of backlash for this pay with

73
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: blag oh Fox would love it we have the World

74
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: Series like it's it would be the most beautiful thing

75
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: that could happen in baseball if these two the big

76
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: like two of the biggest franchises in the game, could

77
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: actually get there. But also like they they have the

78
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: talent they had, like both these teams, both of.

79
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 5: The top most expensive rosters in the league.

80
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: It's insane.

81
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: Hopefully Won Soto is back soon for the Yankees because

82
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: he got injured as day to day right now. Yesterday

83
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers took Game one, epic epic pitching dual scoreless into

84
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: the eleventh inning. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the biggest star, like

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: biggest start of his major league career.

86
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: He showed up.

87
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: He delivered seven scoreless innings, his vela was up by

88
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: two miles per hour, and all of his pitches.

89
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: Like there's been a lot of talk is was he

90
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: worth his contract?

91
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: Because he got the biggest pitching contract in MLB history.

92
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: He won three MVPs and three cy youngs in Japan

93
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: like their version of that. Yes, and I think last

94
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: night everyone got a glance of when he's on the

95
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: biggest stage in the biggest moment.

96
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: He's not only gonna.

97
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: Show up, his pitches are gonna get faster, He's gonna

98
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: have more command, He's gonna be better. It ended up

99
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: being tay Oscar Hernandez, the eleventh inning hero with the

100
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: go ahead double.

101
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: He leaves the Dodgers with forty one RBI.

102
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: He was another huge pickup for the Dodgers' offseason that

103
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: not doesn't get as much attention obviously with like sho Heyo, Tani,

104
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass, now Yamamoto, like all these other big names

105
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers got. But if you miss last night,

106
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: don't miss tonight Game two on Fox coming up in

Speaker 3: It's gonna be epics.

00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: This is kind of a golden weekend for sports in

121

Speaker 2: Okay, Well, speaking of history, we got some more history last.

132
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 5: Night being made in real time.

133
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark has become the fastest player in the WNBA

134
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: history to record two hundred plus points and fifty pluss assist.

135
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: And she's doing this, you guys, on the worst team

136
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: in the league with one of the hardest schedules right

137
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: out of the gates that we have ever seen. But

138
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: let me just start by saying, I love how much

139
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: national attention the w NBA has been getting.

140
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 3: I mean, women's basketball has never been.

141
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: Hotter than right Discourse like this, sold out arenas, smashing records,

142
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: multimillion dollar deals. They are being talked about on the

143
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: a blocks of National Sports.

144
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: TV and for anybody that's not familiar. It's the most important, it's.

145
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: The topic, the most important thing you're talking about during

146
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: the day before this year, I cannot remember a time

147
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: where the w NBA was taking over that position in

148
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: that conversation multiple times throughout the week. And you know what,

149
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 2: there's no denying that. A huge part of this reason

150
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: is Caitlin Clark and the hype from her college career

151
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: and her record breaking career last season, the women's March

152
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: Madness Final having more viewers outshining than men's March Masteres.

153
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: Most watched college basketball game ever ever, regardless of men's

154
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: or women's.

155
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so, okay, you guys, we knew there was

156
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: going to be a lot of attention on the WNBA

157
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: really for the first time. This is what we're seeing, right,

158
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: There's a whole new level of viewers, there's a whole

159
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: new level of opinions, and it's been wild because there

160
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: has been a lot of conversation surrounding Caitlin Clark, but

161
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: a lot of different ways. Yeah that it can go, right,

162
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: But let me just start by saying, did anybody think

163
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: it was going to be easy right out of the gates,

164
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: Because it's not no matter what sport you're going into

165
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: from college to the professional level, there's going to be

166
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: a learning curve. There's going to be a target on

167
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 2: your back. If you are the number one overall pick

168
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: and the reason that people are tuning in and watching

169
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: this sport, vets are going to go for you.

170
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: That's just how sports work across the board.

171
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if we were going to compare this to

172
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: another rookie right now with a ton of hype coming in.

173
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: A new league, Let's look at Caleb Williams and the Bears.

174
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: He's getting picked apart at practice, he's making National.

175
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 5: Mods practice, which is and shorts practice.

176
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: Now, now he's gonna get it behind the scenes, like

177
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: hard knocks is coming in and he is going to

178
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: like there is no hiding for Caleb Williams. So this

179
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: is something that is normal for any top rookie heading

180
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: into a new professional league. Right There's going to be

181
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: a learning curve. People are gonna come after you.

182
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have like the the discourse right now is like,

183
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: we'll do players have it out for Kaitlyn Clark right.

184
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I will say there's been a couple of situations

185
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: where Kaitlyn has been targeted. Kennedy Carter on Chicago took

186
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: a took a cheap shot, knocked her down. That that

187
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: clip right there made the a block that was talked

188
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: about on CNN, on the Today Show, on every sports

189
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: show possible, it was Nash Old News. People are talking

190
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: and caring about women's sports, and can we just take

191
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: a moment to appreciate that, Yeah, is that right there?

192
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 3: Is really cool?

193
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: It's cool and there, but there also needs to be

194
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 4: some nuance to these discussions that I've I've found completely

195
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 4: lacking in this discourse, Like what because all right, there

196
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: was a cheap shot on Kendy cart Like, of course

197
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 4: players are after Caitlin Clark. This is what happens for

198
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: all the reasons you just said, It happens in every sport.

199
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 4: But then you have this cheap shot from Kennedy Carter,

200
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 4: which again happens in every sport when you've got a

201
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: target on your back. Yet the entire league is now

202
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: having to atone for one cheap shot. Like when when

203
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: else does one cheap shot speak for the entire league

204
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: or whatever? Now like now you're having this whole discourse

205
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: about like everybody's jealous and this and that and the

206
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: other jealousy is part of it. That's absolutely true, But

207
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 4: how about kind of you know, the resentment against like

208
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: I don't know, shoe companies, networks, people that weren't paying

209
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 4: attention before Kaitlyn.

210
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 3: They weren't even paying they weren't getting.

211
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: Million dollar deals exactly, So like a flying private on charters,

212
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark is the reason this is happening, But like, we.

213
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 5: Need to open it up to not just jealousy of

214
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 5: Kaitlyn Clark.

215
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: This is something that is a deep seated resentment from

216
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: people that have been putting out a good product, athletes

217
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: that have been putting out a good product for years.

218
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: And so it's not just jealousy towards Kaitlyn Clark. It's

219
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: resentment to the networks, to the shoe companies, to everybody

220
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 4: that was not paying attention.

221
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: But instead of having that outlook, why can't you you

222
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: switch it to like, Okay, this is our shot, this

223
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: is our opportunity. People are paying attention now, doesn't matter

224
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: how we got there. Okay, Kaitlyn Clark is the chosen one.

225
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: She's the one that moved the needle, right, She's the

226
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: one that got our private plane She's the one that's

227
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: bringing the million dollar deal. She's the reason that we're

228
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: selling out arenas and having to go to bigger arenas.

229
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: She's the reason that our games are on national TV

230
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: right now, whether you want to admit it or not.

231
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: As a player, and you are as great as you

232
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: are and you have been putting out this great product

233
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: for as long as you have, she is the reason

234
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: that this is moving and that it's also.

235
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: You need to also include. Then again, this is more

236
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 4: of the nu ones. You need to include. The entire

237
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 4: picture of what that is is Caitlin Clark who she

238
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: is without Angel Reese in college.

239
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: There's a yin and a yang here. Every great story

240
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 5: includes a.

241
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: Villain, includes a hero, all of that kind of stuff,

242
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: and that is what drums up drummed up attention from

243
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: two years ago. That carried into this last season where

244
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: the LSU rematch with Iowa was one of the most

245
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 4: watched before the National Championship because of this narrative, because

246
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: of the storyline, because of this all encompassing situation that is,

247
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: it's working side by side with each other, You're propelling

248
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark because there is this adversity, there is this opposition.

249
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 4: There is a storyline to actually follow that has multiple levels,

250
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: and so I think we need to include the bigger

251
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 4: picture when we're talking about this. And that was what

252
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 4: Angel Reese was talking about in her comments, and if

253
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: you listen to the full quote, she.

254
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: Makes mention, I think I think we have it. Do

255
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: we have, guys? The full one, the Angel race and

256
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: I play that, okay, and just play that.

257
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 7: It all started from the National Championship game. And I've

258
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 7: been dealing with this for two years now and understanding like, yeah,

259
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 7: negative things have probably been said about me, but honestly,

260
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 7: I'll take that because look where women's basketball is. People

261
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 7: are talking about women's basketball. You never would think that

262
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 7: we talking about women's basketball. People are pulling up to games.

263
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 7: We got celebrities coming to games, sold out arenas, like

264
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 7: just because of one single game, and just looking at that, like, I'll.

265
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: Take that role.

266
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 7: I'll take the bad guy role, and I'll continue to

267
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 7: take that on and be that for my teammates. And

268
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 7: if I want to be that, and I know I'll

269
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 7: go down to history.

270
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: I'll look back at twenty.

271
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 7: Years and be like, yeah, the reason why we're watching

272
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 7: women's basketball is.

273
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: Not just because of one person. It's because of me too,

274
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: and I want you to realize that, and she's not lying.

275
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: But but again it's all as you mentioned, it's all

276
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: part of the story. But a lot of people are

277
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: also tuning into the game that Caitlyn Clark plays. It's

278
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 2: very similar to a Steph Curry. She's probably the closest

279
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: player man or woman who has emulated Steph's game with

280
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: these incredible clutch three point shots like that is her game.

281
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: That is why people are tuning in for her and

282
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: for that, And.

283
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: I also I'm not mad. I love the fact that

284
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: Angel Reeves has leaned in to this villain role.

285
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of become a part of her persona and

286
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: her persona within the league. We saw when her teammate

287
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: knocked down Caitlyn Clark, she's the first one to jump

288
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: off the bench. I think that rubbed people a little

289
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: bit the wrong way, But again, it just plays into

290
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: this narrative where you want storylines like this, You need villains,

291
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: you need heroes. It's giving us something to It's great

292
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 2: for us, it's giving us something to talk about.

293
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 4: I just want to caution too, against though, taking this

294
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 4: villain role too far. Yeah, because we have villains in

295
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: sports all across the leagues, especially men's leagues, where you

296
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: don't have to take it too far. It's it's on

297
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 4: the court, it's a it's a persona. It is the

298
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 4: villain role that she is playing. It does not mean

299
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 4: that she's a dirty person. It does not mean that

300
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 4: she is a bad person. It does not mean it

301
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: does not define again going back to it does.

302
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 5: Not define the league either.

303
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 4: And I think that's a very uniquely women's like women

304
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 4: in sports even I think, like you and I even

305
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: deal with the fact that hey, listen, if one of

306
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: us makes a mistake, the rest of us have to

307
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: atone for it. Oh yeah, that is that is the

308
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: experience of women in sports across what second, I didn't

309
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: say that, it's like, does it matter?

310
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't more a woman in sports? So you probably think

311
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: the same thing too.

312
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: It's like, and it comes across in the in the blanket,

313
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 4: in the blanket statements of like, well, women belong to kitchen,

314
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 4: women to belong in sports. It's like, how does one

315
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: of us speak for all of us? And I think

316
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: that that's another thing that's going that again needs to

317
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 4: be talked about within This discourse of the W is

318
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: that these players are all their individual people. They are

319
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: not indicative of the league necessarily as a whole. This

320
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 4: entire storyline is not indicative of the league as a whole.

321
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: There are little rivalries and other situations all across the W.

322
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 4: The W has been a physical league, if anybody has

323
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 4: been paying attention. So I need I want a caution.

324
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: That's when I talk about nuance. I need to see

325
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: the way this discourse is going about the W going

326
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 4: in the same way it does about rivalries in the NBA,

327
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: rivalries in the NFL, in the major men's sports, where

328
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: we don't define the entire league based on the interaction

329
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: between these two players or this person or whatever, like

330
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 4: Draymond Green does not speak for the WN or does

331
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 4: not speak for the NBA, you know, or like even

332
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 4: the biggest stars. You think about Lebron who is the

333
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: face of the NBA still, but we still talk about

334
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: you know, Luka Doncic or Nikola Jokic or any of

335
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: these other guys that are up and comers and all

336
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: that other stuff. You need to allow these women the

337
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: same benefit of having individualized personnel and understand that there

338
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: are levels there.

339
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: Is, but there's also it's pretty. It's pretty fifty to fifty.

340
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: Like you've heard women within the w BA players coaches

341
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: come out and support Kaitlyn Clark and understand the situation.

342
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: Then we've also seen the other side, and it's everybody's

343
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: entitled to their opinion, but there also needs to be

344
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: some sort of awareness that, like the reason all of

345
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: this is happening, she is a big part of that

346
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: and all that matters, or people are tuning in. You're

347
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: getting these big deals, you're getting national deals, you're selling

348
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: out arenas, and people care most importantly in a completely

349
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: overloaded entertainment sports industry, people care right now and about

350
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: women's pastor.

351
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 4: I also want to shout out Kaitlyn Clark for because

352
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 4: this woman has to be on now all the time.

353
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: She has to say the right thing.

354
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: She gets it all the time.

355
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 5: She does.

356
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm saying, is she gets it. I'm like,

357
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 4: but this girl has to be tired, man like I am.

358
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 4: Just it's all part of it, It's all part of it,

359
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: but she is. She is absolutely saying the right things

360
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: at all times. She's saying the right thing.

361
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: We could all play basketball and it is what it is.

362
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: But like I said, the conversations are gonna happen. It's

363
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: good for wins basketball at the same time, but I

364
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: think it's hard for people to remember that I just

365
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: love playing basketball.

366
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: This is my job.

367
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 2: This is what I'm here for. I'm not here for

368
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: the other stuff. That's not what my teammates are here

369
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: for either. And that goes for the rest of the

370
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: teams in the league as well.

371
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: Right, And you constantly have to keep saying that. I'm like, oh,

372
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 4: this woman has to be hired.

373
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 3: But lot, But it's a lot.

374
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 4: I commend her for again saying all of the right

375
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 4: things and doing all the right things. Like she's also

376
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 4: actionable doing all the right things. It's not just saying

377
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 4: the right things, it's also about backing that up with

378
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 4: your actions, and she does that as well.

379
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: She does It's a lot. All right.

380
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break here, but when

381
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: we come back. Was the MAVs loss a bad game

382
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: or a bad sign? You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

398
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: with Carmen Vitally. We are broadcasting live from the Tire

399
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: dot Com Studios in Los Angeles. We just went on

400
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: a nice old heater about the WNBA and Caitlin Clark

401
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: and all that jazz.

402
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 4: No, it's I mean, is it is pretty incredible that

403
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, seemingly like all of the major

404
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: shows are talking about it. We're getting to talk about it.

405
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 4: It's great.

406
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 2: But now let's talk about the NBA Finals, because you guys,

407
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I knew Boston was going to win Game one,

408
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: Like I had that like just that feeling, you know,

409
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: coming home A lot of time in between getting Porzingis back,

410
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: I did not think it was going to be this

411
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: lopsided and as much of a beatdown that it was

412
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: on the map. Now, I was at this super red

413
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: dive bar in LA called Tiny's, and I feel like

414
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: I looked away for like I was at Tiny's.

415
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: I looked away for like.

416
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: Five minutes, and all of a sudden, I hear all

417
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: the Lakers fans chanting f Boston. I'm like, What's what's happening?

418
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: And I look up and it's a twenty point lead.

419
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: Like the narrative heading into this series was Celtics had

420
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: such an easy path to the finals. Did they get

421
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: challenged enough? The West is like a better like just

422
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: better competition. Are they going to be ready? And this

423
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 2: felt like an fu statement game for Boston just coming

424
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: in and like shutting down all the doubt about Jason

425
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 2: Tatum Brown.

426
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: Porzingis absolutely went off. You went crazy like off, I

427
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 3: mean listen.

428
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: Coming out of the East is clearly paying off for

429
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 4: Boston right now because they they played watch just fourteen

430
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: games and for the most part, like dominated their entire run.

431
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 5: So honestly like it.

432
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 4: It shows obviously both teams got a break, but there's

433
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: a lot less tread on the Boston Celtics right now,

434
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 4: and just in general. I mean, we knew at the

435
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: beginning of the season that the Boston Celtics were probably

436
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: coming out of the East, and they did know they.

437
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: Were the best team in the regular season, and it

438
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: was like, this is their year. If they don't win

439
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: it this year when they have all of the pieces,

440
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: can they do it. Obviously, porzingis going down in the

441
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: first round against the Heat that was like a huge

442
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: we thought might be a huge hit, ended up not

443
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: being as bad as everyone thought.

444
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: It was.

445
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 4: Back now killing it.

446
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 3: He didn't miss it, beat, did not miss it.

447
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: Beat twenty point six rebounds, three blocks, Like he just

448
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: he felt like the other thing you have to remember

449
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: is like even okay, say you get injured, you're out,

450
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: it takes a moment to usually get back into game shape.

451
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: He like, he did not look.

452
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: Like he missed a beat at all, Like picked up

453
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: right where he left off. But look at the other

454
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 2: side here, because this was an embarrassing loss. Embarrassing loss

455
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: for Dallas. I mean they completely shut down the MAVs.

456
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: Luca was the MAVs.

457
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 4: That was it.

458
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: He had thirty points. He only had one his.

459
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 5: Hit anything from three nothing.

460
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: But the next highest scores PJ. Washington had fourteen points,

461
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: Kyrie had twelve. Like what I'm gonna be honest, here

462
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 2: my worry meter for the MAVs.

463
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: Beacon.

464
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 4: I mean watching high after watching watching that game, like

465
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: look at the eye test. It was it was ugly

466
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: for a majority of the game. I mean, passing was atrocious.

467
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: MAVs were just twenty five point nine percent from three

468
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 4: seven to twenty seven. Yeah, uh nine assists for everybody

469
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 4: for the whole game. Like just you need to get

470
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: like we need to work together here if the Dallas

471
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: Mavericks like there were there was no confusion, there was.

472
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: It was so like the shooting was just awful, especially

473
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 4: in that first half. I think they they started to

474
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 4: mount to come back in that third quarter. And I

475
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 4: think it's more because I think they got within what eleven, uh,

476
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: I think, but it was more than Celtics. Like the

477
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: Celtics like letting off, letting up a little bit. But

478
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 4: here here's why. Let me let me provide the opposite

479
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: side to this. Like you said, you're worried, and if

480
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 4: you're a MAVs man, you're worried. I don't blame you. Yeah,

481
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 4: but the MAVs did lose the first game in both

482
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 4: the Clippers and.

483
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 3: The Thunder series by this much.

484
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: They lost the first game in the Thunder series by

485
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 4: twenty two points, so even more than this one.

486
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: We feel better, Karment.

487
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 4: But then they came back to win game two in

488
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 4: both of those series. So I am not going to

489
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: panic until until two and the MAVs don't wake up

490
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 4: and don't don't come out and don't win one or

491
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: you know, win game two, then I'm going to start.

492
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 3: Its worst one. But for now, game one or game

493
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: three back in Dallas.

494
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 5: Right for now? Great?

495
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: And I know we just talked about Perzingis with with

496
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 4: the Celtics, but I have to give love to Jalen

497
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 4: Brown right now because this is my This is me

Speaker 5: Because the Celtics had those ten.

502
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: Days off, he goes a lot of guys probably spent

503
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 4: time with their family and stuff like that. But I

00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 4: don't have a family. I'm single, So I've been binge

527
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,240

00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,160

529
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: When I saw this, I was like, am Carmen's done?

530
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: All right? Now let's check them with Brian Fenlan and

531
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: see what's trending.

532
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, Carmen and Alex I might have Harry Potter legos.

533
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 9: I'm not so sure that says about me, but I do.

534
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 9: And so there's that part of it.

535
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 5: We love.

536
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: Yes, I thought my original books, let's go.

537
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, my family and I we would dress up and

538
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: stand in line to wait for the release of every

539
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: Harry Pottery Harry Potter like family. So this is I'm

540
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: not as as big as Krmen. Karmen's next level. This

541
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: is like I'm like that with Star Wars, like I

542
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: have a light up Yoda with his lightsaber.

543
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 4: Underneath four we're old massarts.

544
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 3: Harry Potter.

545
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 9: We love it, Okay, we absolutely love it, no question

546
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 9: about it. And some would say what Kaitlyn Clark can

547
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 9: do with the basketball in her hands is very magic.

548
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 9: Harry Potter like shce I try.

549
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: Thank you all well.

550
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 9: So as you were talking about with Kaitlyn Clark and

551
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 9: all the news around her revolving around not being able

552
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 9: to be with the Olympic team, tem USA women's basketball

553
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 9: saying that she will not be part of the rosters.

554
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 9: So that's a that's a big development there. What else

555
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 9: is going on right now in the world of sports.

556
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 9: We've got one baseball game from London that just wrapped up.

557
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 9: It was a seven to two win for the Phillies

558
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 9: over the Mets with Maryfield had a three run home

559
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 9: run in the fourth in English, part of a sixth

560
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 9: run fourth inning. Right now, there are also ten other

561
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 9: baseball games that are up and running. Most of them

562
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 9: are scoreless through one or two winnings, so we'll get

563
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 9: to those later on in the show. But just to

564
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 9: note Orioles and Raise scoreless in the top of the second.

565
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 9: Another one would be Red Sox and White Sox scoreless

566
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 9: in the top of the second. And then lastly, I

567
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 9: want to throw this at you as well. The Stanley

568
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 9: Cup Final is tonight.

569
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: Game one.

570
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 5: Let's go and the Canadians do it?

571
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: Can they do it?

572
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 9: We're gonna find out what one oiler but they're from Canada.

573
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: The Canadian team.

574
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, finally and it's Oilers and Panthers at eightiestern

575
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 9: iz that we will be following at as well as

576
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 9: we now bounce it back to Alex and Carmen.

577
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian.

578
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday. I'm Alex Curry here

579
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: with Carmen Vitally. We are broadcasting live from the Tirek

580
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: dot Com studios in Los Angeles and at a time

581
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 2: for our first guest. She is the smartest mine in

582
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: sports and on TV, NFL networks, analytics expert and one

583
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: of my favorite people in the whole wide world, Cynthia Freeland.

584
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 10: Hi, guys, how are you.

585
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: Oh better now that you're here?

586
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 4: Yes?

587
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 5: Green answer Alex, It's true.

588
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: It is okay, Cynthia.

589
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson got paid his extension four years, one hundred

590
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: and forty million, officially the highest paid non quarterback in

591
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: the league. How important was this for the Vikings to

592
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: get this done, especially with their rookie quarterback.

593
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 11: I mean I think the rookie quarterback helped deliver this

594
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 11: price tag more Justin Jefferson, because you're paying him for

595
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 11: the opportunity not to go elsewhere where perhaps it would

596
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 11: be a little bit easier to win faster.

597
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 10: So I think he got.

598
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 11: A premium because of the orkie quarterback situation.

599
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: Okay there, I mean this contract, everybody likes to average

600
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 4: it out right, so it's like, oh, it's thirty five

601
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 4: million a year. Well it goes a little bit deeper

602
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: than that. What really got to me or what really

603
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 4: signaled to me? That listens like Justin whoever is Justin

604
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: Jefferson's agent is really did a phenomenal job.

605
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 5: Those guarantees.

606
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 4: One hundred and ten million guarantees blows every other receiver

607
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 4: guarantees out of the water. I think A. J. Brown

608
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 4: was the next one at like eighty something million. So

609
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 4: break this contract down a little bit for me, like

610
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 4: what is the value and how does it kind of

611
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 4: materialize throughout the terms of the years.

612
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, when I look at this and I see

613
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 11: when the guarantees are actually guaranteed, it looks like what

614
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 11: they're trying to do is pay him in the years

615
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 11: when they're able to leverage the rookie quarterback situation.

616
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 10: We have a.

617
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 11: Lower paid quarterback, which is you even said it. He's

618
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 11: the highest non quarterback in terms of payment. But quarterback

619
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 11: pay is just like through the entire roof. When you're

620
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 11: talking about the opportunity to pay him and guarantee the money.

621
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 11: It seems like they're taking advantage of the fact that

622
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 11: right now they're not paying a premium cornerback, because cornerback

623
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 11: is another one.

624
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 10: Sure edge rushers are.

625
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 11: So if you look at the top five, if you

626
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 11: ask any scout, what are the top five most important

627
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 11: decsions quarterback number one, you got a left tackle, you've

628
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 11: got a pass rusher, you've got a cornerback, and you've

629
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 11: got a wide receiver. And they're not really paying those

630
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 11: other premium positions.

631
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 10: So what it looks like they're doing.

632
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 11: Is they're guaranteeing his salary, especially in the years.

633
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 10: When they don't have the other premium positions to pay.

634
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: Interesting.

635
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, Now there's a few other big wide receiver

636
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: names like Brendan Ayuk, Jamar Chase, Ceedee Lamb that are

637
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: still waiting for their deals. Does this help or hurt them?

638
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: And which do you think will happen next?

639
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's funny because you would think of comps in

640
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 11: the marketplace. It's kind of like real estate, right like

641
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 11: if your neighbor sells their house for whatever, it's going

642
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 11: to increase the price of yours, which is probably true

643
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 11: on a non guaranteed level. Will say, some of these

644
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 11: other teams, they've got some interesting things to contend with.

645
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 11: Like let's look at Jamar Chase, specifically Joe.

646
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 10: Burrow's deal.

647
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: Everything.

648
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I mean he won't get the guarantee, Perhaps

649
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 11: he could get the incentive structure that rewards his talents

650
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 11: and abilities. Sure, there could be a really cool incentive structure.

651
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 11: And then remember when you're looking at these deals, voidable

652
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 11: years are ways to pay guys that aren't necessarily going

653
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 11: to you know, the way you can mess with the

654
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 11: cap right, like the way you can sort of structure things.

655
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 10: It really is a creative lesson in finance.

656
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 11: Is part of the shared revenue structure that the NFL

657
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 11: abides by, but it's basically creative accounting.

658
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 10: So the voidable years could be something.

659
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 11: You look at in terms of that. I think Jamar

660
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 11: Chase does get paid, and he's get paid well, I

661
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 11: don't think the guarantees anywhere near what Justin Jefferson is,

662
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 11: but I do think that the potential upside is right

663
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 11: around those same numbers.

664
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 10: So there's that.

665
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 11: Justin Jefferson's situation obviously a little different because when you

666
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 11: have such an unknown at the quarterback position, you're saying,

667
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 11: I'll guarantee this because we have some unknowns, Whereas you

668
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 11: have Joe Burrow, who was a little bit more of

669
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 11: a known right right, And then you have you have

670
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 11: Jamar Chase, who he obviously had the relationship in chemistry

671
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 11: with him since college. So that's kind of how that

672
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 11: structure nets out. I think Brandon and I you it's

673
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 11: interesting he probably is the next one. Maybe see Lamb ceedee,

674
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 11: Lamb gets paid to me, like I don't see the

675
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 11: Cowboys not paying him. I don't know when it to yeah, yeah,

676
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 11: and I don't know when it happens, but it happens

677
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 11: sometime before now in July twentieth, let's call it. Okay,

678
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 11: So you know, don't be if you're a Cowboys fan,

679
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 11: I wouldn't be shocked if nothing happens this next couple

680
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 11: of weeks.

681
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: They get the couple big names that they got to

682
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: figure out, including.

683
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 11: Dak exactly so, right, and they pay their people, they

684
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 11: really do. So it's just it's just a matter of when,

685
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 11: not if they usually take.

686
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 5: A while to do it, but they'll pay.

687
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 10: You exactly exactly like it. It's not it's not good.

688
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 10: I don't think it.

689
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 11: You know, if I were you know, I worked for

690
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 11: the NFL, I never know what that G word that

691
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 11: happens in Las Vegas happens. But if I were a

692
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 11: G person, I would say, it's probably not Ceedee Lamb.

693
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 11: That's next gambling.

694
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, what's the G word?

695
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 4: Doesn't know anything about that. She's never done it before.

696
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 4: She's like, she's the NFL.

697
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what you should, what the odds are,

698
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: and what you can do. But she doesn't do any

699
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: of that.

700
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 10: No, I have no idea.

701
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 3: What if you were a better a person.

702
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 10: If I were, if I.

703
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 11: Were able to do that, I would say, it's probably

704
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 11: not Ceedee Lamb that gets paid next.

705
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 10: I would say they. I mean, I think he does

706
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 10: get paid before the season starts. It probably won't be next.

707
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 10: I think I might be next.

708
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: To Yeah, they have like they just like extended McCaffrey.

709
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: They have, so that's why I thinks, Okay, yeah.

710
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 11: The extension for McCaffrey, I believe creates the opportunity for

711
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 11: that creative accounting that we talked about to be a

712
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 11: way to open up because you know, the stuff that

713
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 11: we aren't privy to as outsiders is what counts.

714
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 10: For what in each year. That's where these creative.

715
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 11: Accounting method like, that's where these teams that are really smart,

716
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 11: like the Niners, they're very very good at figuring out. Okay,

717
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 11: so if we extend Christia, we give him nineteen a

718
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 11: year for two years, but it really counts as like

719
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 11: four years, which means we'rel no.

720
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 10: Right, like voidable.

721
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 11: Like Yeah, this is where being very very smart with

722
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 11: how you structure all your deals pays off, and it's

723
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 11: so confusing to outsiders that we might not get it right.

724
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 10: So you know it.

725
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 11: And that's where I think, like I believe because we

726
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 11: saw the movement with CMC, yeah, that we'll see the

727
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 11: brand and AYU connect.

728
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 3: Okay.

729
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 4: When we're talking though about these wide receiver contracts in particular,

730
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 4: I mean we're seeing these wide receivers kind of float

731
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 4: to face of the franchise status. I mean that's who

732
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson is now he's a face of the franchise quarterback.

733
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 4: And so we're seeing them being paid accordingly. But so

734
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 4: for those guys. Where does where is the ceiling of

735
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: this bubble? When is it going to burst? Like do

736
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 4: we think that Ceede. Lamb's contract is going to supersede

737
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson's at least by average value, or do we

738
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 4: think that there's kind of a reckoning coming where we're like,

739
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 4: all right, we can't afford to pay these guys forty million,

740
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: like we we have to. It has to level off

741
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 4: at some point.

742
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 11: I think I think we've seen this this ceiling. And

743
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 11: you know, one of the reasons that I think that

744
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 11: is because we saw the Vikings. They do things a

745
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 11: little bit differently. Remember they gave Kirk Cousins a really

746
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 11: guarantee contract, right, but they also were doing guarantees before

747
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 11: before guarantees were a thing, right, Like they guarantee Kirk

748
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 11: Cousins and no one else guaranteed their quarterbacks after that.

749
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 11: So their structure is a little bit different, right, But

750
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 11: I would say that when you're looking at kind of

751
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 11: also the way contracts are structured.

752
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 10: You know, Dak Prescott.

753
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 11: Does need to get paid like that, they can't. They can't,

754
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 11: and so does Mike Carsons, and so you know, they've

755
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 11: got a lot of those key positions with five positions

756
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 11: we talked about that are the most expensive ones.

757
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 10: Sure, they've got a lot of those.

758
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 11: So the truth is is while the average value may

759
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 11: look different, Yeah, it's just a matter of I think

760
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 11: we've seen sort of the ceiling of it. I think

761
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 11: that justin Jefferson contract to me is the ceiling. Well,

762
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 11: you know, again, we have to look at the way

763
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 11: things work together with structure, incentives, et cetera.

764
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 10: But in terms of guaranteed, I don't think anyone.

765
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 11: Else is getting them, and I know no way.

766
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 10: Yeah they can't, they can't.

767
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 3: They can't. Yeah, Cynthia, I love how smart you are.

Speaker 2: At first, he talked about how much he loved Double Doore,

804
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: and then he like took a moment to really think

805
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: about it and then explain why he identified with Hermione

806
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: so much. And Carmen, I know if you guys were

Speaker 2: listening to us earlier.

808
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 4: Carmen.

809
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 2: A fun fact about Carmen falls asleep to listening to

810
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: Harry Potter book on tape all the time.

811
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 4: It's a comfort thing because it's so higher because I've

812
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 4: read all the books and I've watched all the movies

813
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 4: so many times.

814
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

815
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's it's it's fun.

816
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: Great, it's fun.

817
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 4: We love Okay, I have another two. Okay, you do

818
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: lean into your identity.

819
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: Okay.

820
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: So the Minnesota Vikings unveiled their Winter Warrior all white uniforms.

821
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 4: All they are dubbed the coldest uniforms in the NFL.

822
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 5: And here's the thing.

823
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 4: So many teams, I feel like, try to have these

824
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 4: all white, all black kids. Yeah, and I think that

825
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 4: Minnesota is one of the very cues that can actually

826
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 4: get away with it because white snow, cold ice, that's

827
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 4: all part of their identity. They have fake snow that

828
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 4: falls every pregame in the stadium like this is Minnesota.

829
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I really enjoy.

830
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 4: Fans have been advocating for an all white helmet in

831
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: Minnesota for a very long time, so they finally got

832
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 4: that and then it is all white and it does.

833
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 4: It looks so cool. All the players are so psychs

834
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 4: and Jefferson look so badass. It was amazing. Yeah, do

835
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 4: lean into your identity, but like, don't do it if

836
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 4: you don't have any reason to be all white or

837
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 4: all black.

838
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,239

941
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: a completely stacked team. But there's one name that people

942
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: are talking about that did not make that list, and

943
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 2: it's Caitlin Clark. And this is where it gets tricky,

944
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: right because yes, she is the biggest.

945
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 3: Probably nationally known name right now in women's basketball.

946
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 2: As a rookie, she's breaking rookie records, she would be

947
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 2: the draw and probably break more viewing records. But is

948
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: considered one of the best twelve players in the country

949
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: right now. Probably not no, but and this is where

950
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 2: I think there was a missed opportunity. She would get

951
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 2: all of the eyeballs, she would get all of the

952
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: people watching women's basketball in the Olympics and what pays

953
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 2: for the Olympics revenue generated from broadcasting partners TV deals.

954
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: People would tune in to watch Caitlin Clark. Whether you

955
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: want to admit it or not, Yes, she might not

956
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: be one of the best twelve players, but if she

957
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 2: was on this roster, you better believe the entire country

958
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: would be watching every single one of these games.

959
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 6: And I think it's a missed opportunity. She is the

960
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 6: TV gold Here's the thing. The country should be watching

961
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 6: these women anyway. And this is going to be the

962
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 6: first major test to see if this Kaitlyn Clark effect

963
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 6: carries over because she doesn't deserve one of those twelve

964
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 6: roster spots based on merit alone.

965
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 5: She doesn't.

966
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 4: This is a team that has lost just three games

967
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 4: in international competition since nineteen eighty four. This is probably

968
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 4: the most dominant national team we have in this country.

969
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 5: And the fact that now all of.

970
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 4: A sudden, we're just talking about it because Kaitlyn Clark

971
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 4: isn't on it. Guess what the biggest snub of this

972
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 4: team was probably a rique a Goombaalle of the Dallas Wings.

973
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 4: So this is a woman that took Notre Dame to

974
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 4: the final four, into the national Championship and now has

975
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 4: continued that run within the WNBA, and she wasn't on

976
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 4: the team. This is a really hard roster to make

977
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 4: and it should be. So this is entirely based on arion.

978
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 4: I get what you're saying that that eyeballs matter, but

979
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 4: this is the Olympics. This is competition. This is a

980
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 4: legacy that the US is trying to uphold in competition.

981
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 4: If you don't take the best twelve players every single time,

982
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 4: then you're not really trying to win. And that is

983
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 4: exactly where the Team USA is coming from, and I

984
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 4: completely agree with it. Caitlin Clark's time will come four

985
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 4: years from now in the next Olympics. If she continues

986
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 4: the trajectory she started within the first couple of months

987
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,479
Speaker 4: of the WNBA, she should absolutely be on that roster again.

988
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 4: Should she do that, but she needs to do it first.

989
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 4: Is this like this is if we want equality for

990
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 4: women's sports, we need to take it as seriously as

991
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 4: the men's sports.

992
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 5: You're not just gonna put a guy on there.

993
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 3: We clen't it on the Dream Team. There's been guys

994
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 3: that have been put on teams because.

995
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 4: They're also yes, but they're not they warranted that big name,

996
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 4: like they were that player already.

997
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 5: So you have to you have to do.

998
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 4: This based on mayor, especially, like I said, when this

999
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 4: team is so dominant and is known the world over

1000
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 4: for being one of the best basketball teams in the

1001
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 4: world in the globe, but we need to take pride

1002
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 4: in that as a country and watch anyway, So watch

1003
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 4: watch the Olympics.

1004
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 5: Guys, watch watch women's basketball in the Olympics in particular.

1005
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 3: Very curious to see how it's gonna go down.

1006
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 2: Not having nationally the biggest name in the sport right now,

1007
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 2: not a part of it. But well, we'll be able

1008
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 2: to talk about that plenty more in the weeks to come.

1009
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: Let's get to some NFL because most mandatory mini camps

1010
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 2: have started, So we're gonna do a little NFL Mini

1011
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 2: camp round up.

1012
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 3: Sure, right, because we saw a lot of things. Guys

1013
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 3: got paid, Guys.

1014
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: Are holding out first look at who put on weight,

1015
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 2: who lost weight, thoughts on new systems. So let's start

1016
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:17,479
Speaker 2: with people getting paid, and it's your boy boy, Justin

1017
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: Jefferson and the Viking is us signed a four year,

1018
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty million dollar contract extension, including one

1019
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: hundred and ten million dollar garan.

1020
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 5: Teed, which is the key part of this contract.

1021
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:31,959
Speaker 3: Heed, he's the highest paid.

1022
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 4: People get caught up in average contract value, which again

1023
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 4: he's is even by average contract value, he is still

1024
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 4: the highest paid non quarterback. But what is important here

1025
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 4: is those guarantees. And we talked to Cynthia Freeland about

1026
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 4: it and she was dead on in the fact that

1027
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 4: these guarantees are towards the beginning of the contract because

1028
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings are taking advantage of not having to

1029
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 4: pay a quarterback right now.

1030
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,439
Speaker 2: But she also said the reason that he got this

1031
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 2: kind of contract was because they have a rookie. The

1032
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: reason and the way she kind of phrased it was

1033
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: like the number that he got and the guarantee.

1034
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 5: He's the face of the franchise.

1035
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 2: Because you're playing with a rookie, a rookie quarterback, there's

1036
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 2: no guarantee it's going to be as great as it

1037
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 2: is right out of the gates. There could have been

1038
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: another team that came in paid a more that you

1039
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: could win sooner paid a little less to make it happen.

1040
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 2: But what the Vikings did is like.

1041
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 4: Hey, stay here, help our quarterback.

1042
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: We even our guy. This is why you're gonna get

1043
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: this number and one hundred.

1044
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 3: And ten million guarantees.

1045
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,439
Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to see from any other

1046
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: like free agent on the market.

1047
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 4: That's the other component of this though, is that they

1048
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 4: are betting that Justin Jefferson is going to have the

1049
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 4: impact on this offense. He's going to have the impact

1050
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 4: on this rookie quarterback, that he is going to be

1051
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 4: the guy.

1052
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 5: To help develop J. J. McCarthy. And they're right.

1053
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,479
Speaker 4: I mean, having Justin Jefferson as a rookie is going

1054
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 4: to help your development tremendously.

1055
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 5: Having T J.

1056
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 4: Hawkinson, having Aaron Jones in the backfield, having Jordan Addison

1057
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 4: in the second year. I mean, this is a stacked offense,

1058
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 4: but it all starts with Justin Jefferson and he is

1059
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 4: the face of that franchise.

1060
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 2: Now, what I love is he said when he was

1061
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: talking about the deal, this is the deal I've been

1062
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: waiting for since I was a little kid. And I

1063
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: mean true, what we've seen from the outside, you've been

1064
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 2: on the inside covering this team worth every penny.

1065
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 4: It's not even close. This was an absolute no brainer. Honestly,

1066
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 4: the Vikings were very transparent about all of this because

1067
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 4: there was interest in trying to trade for Justin Jefferson.

1068
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 4: There were teams that were inquiring about his availability, and

1069
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 4: every single time Quaisy Doopa Ben said, their general manager

1070
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 4: was like, huh, yeah, we're not moving him. Kevin O'Connell,

1071
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 4: We're not moving him. There's literally zero chance of us

1072
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 4: moving him. And it's true because you have a homegrown talent.

1073
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 4: And I talked about this actually in an article for

1074
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 4: Fox sports dot Com, where you also need to set

1075
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 4: the precedent for your talent so that you were rewarding

1076
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 4: your homegrown guys. This is Justin Jefferson who you drafted.

1077
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 4: This is a guy who you developed. This is a

1078
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 4: guy rare two years ago who was the Offensive Player

1079
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 4: of the Year. He has got the best chance, I

1080
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 4: think of anybody to be NFL MVP, which only usually

1081
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 4: goes to quarterbacks. Okay, so if he continues again on

1082
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 4: this trajectory, he is going to hit Randy Moss's career

1083
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 4: numbers by his ninth season.

1084
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 5: It took Randy Moss.

1085
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 4: Sixteen years ago if he continues on this trajectory.

1086
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 3: So you had to you had to keep.

1087
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 4: Him around, and you had to send the message to

1088
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 4: current and future players that hey, if we if we

1089
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 4: believe in you in the beginning, we're gonna believe in

1090
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 4: you for that second contract too. Yeah, And that's what

1091
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 4: they did, And honestly, I think the Minnesota Vikings made

1092
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 4: the exact right choice. Again, having a rookie quarterback and

1093
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 4: having the flexibility with your cap also helped incredibly. But

1094
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 4: this is a guy that you hold on to. This

1095
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 4: is the guy that you build your franchise around. And

1096
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 4: that's what they're doing. Yeah, that's what Minnesota's doing.

1097
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 2: So now this is kind of the first domino in

1098
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 2: wide receivers looking to get paid. So what does it

1099
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 2: mean for the other guys holding out?

1100
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 4: Right?

1101
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 2: Because you had Ceedee Lamb and the Cowboys hold now

1102
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 2: Brandon and I you forty nine holding now Jamar Chase.

1103
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 2: They just had OTA's mandatory mini campus next week, so

1104
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 2: I'm guessing he might hold out probably as well.

1105
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 3: But the question is like who's who's.

1106
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 2: Gonna get paid and who's gonna get paid first? And

1107
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 2: when you look at let's start with Ceedee Lamb and

1108
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. They're kind of in a tough spot because

1109
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 2: they've got they've got three big names at very important

1110
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: positions that need to get paid. You got Ceedee Lamb,

1111
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 2: who's your number one weapon, Dak Prescott, who's in the

1112
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 2: last year of his contract. So if they don't get

1113
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 2: a new deal done the end of the season, he's

1114
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 2: a free agent. He can test the market. I mean,

1115
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 2: I think Jerry has finally come out and said no, no, no,

1116
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna pay Dak. But again, you don't know.

1117
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 2: He also said like we're going on to doesn't have

1118
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 2: to agree to exactly. Micah Parsons he there was already

1119
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 2: a report not straight from his mouth that if he's

1120
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 2: not gonna like, if he doesn't end up with the Cowboys,

1121
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 2: he would go back and play home play for Mike

1122
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 2: Calmin and the Steelers at home.

1123
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 3: So there's like little little like well.

1124
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 4: When you consider also like there was a little bit

1125
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 4: of a jab from Michael Parsons at their new defensive coordinator,

1126
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 4: Mike Zimmer. He's like, Zim does it a little bit differently.

1127
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 4: There's going to have to be a compromise there. There's

1128
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 4: only he's never had a Micah Parsons Like, this is

1129
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 4: all from Michael Parson's mouth, by the way. Uh, there's

1130
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 4: that's going to be an interesting development. I mean I

1131
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 4: do think that again, the Cowboys are going to extend

1132
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 4: him and he would be.

1133
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 3: He would be a god. That would be such a

1134
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 3: fail if you don't.

1135
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 4: Oh, I think the Cowboys are absolutely going to do it.

1136
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 3: You have to, you have to.

1137
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 4: That's a defensive cornerstone player. Also, like, as a defensive player,

1138
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 4: you cannot play for a bigger brand than the Dallas Cowboys.

1139
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 4: But that's it's going to be a drastic, drastically different

1140
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 4: looking defense with Mike Zimmer because of the way that

1141
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 4: Mike Zimmer runs the ship versus how who Dan Quinn was.

1142
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 4: Dan Quinn is like a player's coach. He's like he

1143
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 4: is so cool man like, he's just he's just a

1144
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 4: good guy like and not to say that Mike Zimmer isn't,

1145
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 4: but Mike Zimmer is much old school different. So we're

1146
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 4: gonna see how that.

1147
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 3: So Yeah, that so who going to get paid here?

1148
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 5: That's in the wide receiver market.

1149
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's ceedee lamb situation. But then, okay, so we

1150
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,479
Speaker 2: also talked about Brandon Nayuk forty nine ers.

1151
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers have a lot of weapons.

1152
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 2: I didn't look at it this way, but when we

1153
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 2: were talking to Cynthia Freeland, I was like, but they

1154
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 2: just extended Christian McCaffrey.

1155
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 3: He got a two year, thirty eight million dollar extension.

1156
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 2: Doesn't that hurt him because you also have like a

1157
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel's George Kittle. They drafted a rookie wide receiver

1158
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 2: in the first round like this, it's gonna hurt Ayuk.

1159
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 2: And her perspective is like, no creative accounting. Extending Christian

1160
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 2: McCaffrey actually gives Brandon Ayuk hope that they're going to

1161
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 2: figure out how.

1162
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 3: To sign him.

1163
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 4: And here's the thing, Like Deebo Samuel is not Deebo

1164
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 4: Samuel without Brandon Ayuk. And that's the thing. Brandon Ayuk

1165
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 4: is more of the number one receiver than Deebo Samuel is.

1166
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 4: And this is this is the nature of it. I'm

1167
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 4: actually especially holding out if I'm Brandon Ayuk because the.

1168
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 3: Forty nine ers Oline coach, Yeah, just.

1169
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 4: Came out this week and said to give the money

1170
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 4: to the guys that touched the ball and score touchdowns.

1171
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 4: His literal quote was, this is my personal opinion if

1172
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 4: they ask me investing guys that touched the ball and

1173
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 4: score touchdowns, and then there's a range of guys second, third,

1174
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 4: fourth round, fifth round, even that we can find starting

1175
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 4: offensive linemen in So like, if I'm Brandon Nyuk, I'm

1176
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 4: doing the Leo DiCaprio like eh, eh, like pointing theme,

1177
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 4: I'm doing like that. See see even our online coach

1178
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 4: says to pay me. Yeah, so right now, I honestly

1179
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 4: he Ayuk also like tremendously is tremendously valued within that offense.

1180
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,280
Speaker 4: He has the third best receiving EPA per play behind

1181
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb and Tyreek Hill.

1182
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 5: In the league.

1183
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 4: Oh wow, so that's expected points added per play two

1184
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 4: of the top three guys, which is like, it's an

1185
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 4: advanced metric that is really used to quantify value. Yeah,

1186
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 4: within an offense, and Brandon Nyuk is up there again

1187
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 4: with Ceedee Lamb and Tyre Kill. It makes Lamb's case

1188
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 4: too though. Who also see Lamb has the second best

1189
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 4: catch rate in the league, but more than that, has

1190
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 4: the second best catch rate over expectation in the league,

1191
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 4: which means he is catching ten percent more passes than

1192
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 4: he's supposed to.

1193
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1194
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 4: So these when you're talking about guys that you're gonna pay,

1195
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 4: you're talking about guys that elevate your team, that elevate

1196
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 4: the guys around them, that make things easier on the quarterback.

1197
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 4: That is the definition of who Brandon and I, you

1198
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 4: and seelamb are. Okay, So I'm absolutely for the holdout.

1199
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 4: I mean, these guys are being paid like quarterbacks because

1200
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 4: they have a similar impact. Yeah, and so that's the

1201
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 4: biggest argument for this kind of money. Yeah, I just

1202
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 4: I yeah, it's it's it's gonna be. I love to

1203
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 4: talking to Cynthia about.

1204
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 3: None of the bubble.

1205
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 2: Well, she's also a finance person, Like she worked in

1206
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 2: the NFL's front office as a finance person before she

1207
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 2: was on TV talking about analytics, being the analytics expert

1208
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 2: for NFL Network. So like this is what she does, right,

1209
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 2: She helps like teams figure out their contracts and what

1210
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 2: you can and what you can't. So this whole creative

1211
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 2: accounting thing was like, oh, well.

1212
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Voidiers, Yeah, Voydiers are the creative accounting. But there

1213
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 4: is a catch with Voidiers in that you are leveraging

1214
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 4: some of your future capital even if that player is

1215
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 4: not on the team anymore. That is the hard part

1216
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 4: about voideers. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

1217
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 4: There's always a caveat. So there is creative accounting to

1218
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,280
Speaker 4: allow for you to do those things in the present,

1219
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 4: and you can restructure later, so you can restructure those

1220
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 4: void years later, especially if you think you're going to

1221
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:11,959
Speaker 4: extend that player again.

1222
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 5: That just gets all rolled into one.

1223
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 4: But there is the risk you run the risk of

1224
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 4: when you tack on those void years of leveraging the

1225
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 4: future and having to pay a player that's no longer

1226
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 4: on your team.

1227
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 2: I'm so curious because obviously we saw something I've never

1228
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 2: seen before in baseball this year with Shoheo Tani, the

1229
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 2: biggest sports contract we've seen in North American sports history,

1230
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: deferring majority.

1231
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 3: Of his money.

1232
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 5: Right.

1233
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 3: Is that something you can do in the NFL?

1234
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 4: No, Okay, okay, I mean there are contracts that are

1235
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 4: set up where they're backloaded or frontloaded. You can do that,

1236
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 4: but nothing to the extent that we've seen like shohe

1237
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 4: Atani and the baseball.

1238
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 2: That was my first like, oh, this is creative accounting.

1239
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 2: This makes sense.

1240
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 5: That's very crazy.

1241
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 2: That feels like creative accounting. All right, we're gonna take

1242
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: a quick break here, but when we come back, we're

1243
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: pulling back the curtain In Chicago. Guys, you're listening to

Speaker 3: Curry, Alex Underscore Curry.

1261
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 2: I still can't believe I didn't get the full like

1262
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 2: I was early to like all these social media That's

1263
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 2: what I got.

1264
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 3: I didn't get. I didn't get like the full I

1265
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 3: had to get the underscore.

1266
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 4: I know I should have done my actual name, but

1267
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 4: I modeled it after Dick by tew Oh. In fact,

1268
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 4: back in twenty twelve, that's when I got my Twitter.

1269
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 3: So in spo.

1270
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 2: All right, guys, it's official. The Bears are gonna be

1271
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 2: on hardknots. I mean, sports are my reality TV, and

1272
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 2: this is the best of both worlds because we're getting

1273
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,439
Speaker 2: like sports docuserie drama, but you care about it because

1274
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 2: it's also our job to cover it. So you're getting

1275
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: like a very rare behind the curtain look of what

1276
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 2: goes down in training camp making the team leading up

1277
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 2: to probably one of the most anticipated season's debuts for

1278
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 2: the number one overall pick Caleb Williams like I'm gonna say,

1279
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna then I'm gonna hand the floor to you, Karmen,

1280
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: because this is your this is your team, baby. I

1281
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 2: think the Bears are lucky that Caleb Williams is so

1282
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: used to the spotlight being here in La in Hollywood,

1283
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 2: playing for USC nil player already making millions already getting

1284
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 2: so much negative I guess stories and just everything put

1285
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 2: out about him critique wise. He went through some adversity

1286
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: last year at USC and I think that helped shape him,

1287
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 2: and I think this is going to show the world

1288
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 2: how great of a person and player he's going to be.

1289
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 4: So the NFL loves this because so there are qualifications

1290
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 4: that you have to meet in order to be on

1291
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 4: Hard Knocks. Okay, it's not every team is eligible every year.

1292
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 4: You can't have a first year head coach, you can't

1293
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 4: have made the playoffs the year before. There are different

1294
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 4: I think there's like one or two other things that

1295
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 4: you have to the criteria you have to meet in

1296
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 4: order to be on Hard Knocks. This year, the Bears

1297
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 4: met all of the criteria and so as soon as

1298
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 4: that was kind of you thought about that, and then

1299
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 4: they got the number one overall pick, and then it

1300
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 4: was Caleb Williams and now there's like it was just

1301
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 4: like a foregone conclusion. It's happening that this was going

1302
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 4: to be the case, and it's true. I actually went

1303
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 4: through Hard Knocks with the Bucks.

1304
00:59:55,960 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and it was very do you say, do

1305
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 2: you get are they showing everything that's actually going down.

1306
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 4: So there are situations where so they install the cameras,

1307
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 4: like in the meeting rooms and stuff, and they try

1308
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 4: to keep them out of the way. They're usually up

1309
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 4: in the corner.

1310
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 3: They let you know, like, hey, they're filming.

1311
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 4: You just always have to assume that they are okay,

1312
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 4: to the point where coaches would tell me that in

1313
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 4: meeting rooms if there was something that they definitely didn't

1314
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 4: want on camera, Yeah, you look up at the camera

1315
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 4: and you just put it like the slice across your

1316
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 4: throat and be like cut, like do not show.

1317
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 3: Wait okay.

1318
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 2: So my college roommate was on Laguna Beach and they

1319
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 2: would tell me they would just throw up the middle

1320
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 2: finger right they were tying over their face and it's like, well,

1321
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 2: they're not gonna be able to use this anyway, and

1322
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 2: that was their kind of like, well, I don't want

1323
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 2: this to be used.

1324
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 4: Have The HBO Hard Knocks crew does respect coaches saying that,

1325
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 4: and most of the time at least this is how

1326
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 4: it works with the Buccaneers, the GM and the head

1327
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 4: coach both had veto rights to the footage, so they

1328
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 4: would like HBO would show them the footage of the

1329
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 4: upcoming episode, and they would either say, yeah, this is

1330
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 4: all fine, or no, no, we can't have that in there.

1331
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 4: All this other stuff you have to blur out all

1332
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 4: of the whiteboards and all that stuff. So it's not

1333
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 4: to give anything away. It is, however, pretty invasive, even

1334
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 4: though they try to make it not invasive.

1335
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 3: I mean, how do you not like you're on a

1336
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 3: reality TV show. Basically that is where it is. That

1337
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 3: is where though.

1338
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 4: The experience that Kayler Williams already has with the cameras,

1339
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 4: with the cameras, with this like the entertainment side of

1340
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 4: this industry, because this is the entertainment industry after all,

1341
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 4: it is uh that's going to pay off.

1342
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 11: M M.

1343
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 4: I'm sure the coaches in the and the front office

1344
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 4: are not super thrilled, but I do think that it

1345
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 4: will give us a glimpse into this culture that Ryan

1346
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 4: Poles and Matti Ebraflus have both built because they are

1347
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 4: huge culture guys. They're huge character guys. That comes out

1348
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 4: in the draft picks they've made, in the free agent

1349
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 4: acquisitions they've signed, in the way that they've handled things,

1350
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 4: even from like a coaching standpoint where they let go

1351
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 4: of their running backs coach because of an HR violation.

1352
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 4: They like, there are things that they've done proactively to

1353
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 4: keep this culture intact. And I think now we're gonna

1354
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 4: get to see that on it on Hard Knocks. And

1355
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 4: I'm excited for that because all eyes were already going

1356
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 4: to be on the Chicago Bears. I have so many

1357
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 4: people that tell me, like, oh, I'm not a Bears fan,

1358
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 4: but I'm absolutely gonna be watching them this year. Like this,

1359
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 4: it looks like they can't fail.

1360
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 5: Now. There is kind of a Hard Knocks curse that

1361
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 5: goes around.

1362
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: Believe wasn't it wasn't it Rogers and the Jets last year?

1363
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 2: There was and he made it for snaps. Let's not

1364
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 2: put that out there right right, So I think that

1365
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 2: moment I.

1366
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 5: Just didn't even but I do think that.

1367
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Bucks went five and eleven after

1368
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 4: the Hard Knocks year, and I believe that was the

1369
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 4: Dirk Hutters last year. Not great, but that being said,

1370
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, if you handle your

1371
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 4: business and all that other stuff, it should be kind

1372
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 4: of business as usual. So I'm I'm excited to see it.

1373
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 4: It's gonna be nice to.

1374
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 3: Get of excitement one to ten.

1375
01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 4: It's probably like seven honestly, because the Bears also don't

1376
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 4: really they're one of the traditional teams. They're the original team,

1377
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 4: so they know they don't really have to give a

1378
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 4: ton of access in order to keep people interested because

1379
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 4: they still have a sitting list.

1380
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 3: But you have to give access for this show.

1381
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 5: Well yeah, So that's what I'm saying, is like, we

1382
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 5: don't normally get this outside of something like this.

1383
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so now you're finally gonna get to go a

1384
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 4: little bit more behind the curtain and you're gonna have

1385
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 4: to get a little bit more access because of the

1386
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 4: nature of the show. And that's exciting because again, otherwise

1387
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 4: the Bears aren't really inside of us to do it.

1388
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 2: Otherwise, I'm excited. It's gonna be great. But now let's

1389
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 2: check him with Brian Fendlan and see what's trending.

1390
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 9: Yes, and what we have right now is some news

1391
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 9: involving golf where twenty twenty three Masters Champion John Rahm

1392
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 9: he has withdrawn today from the second round of the

1393
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 9: live golf event in Houston, and they're calling it a

1394
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 9: left foot infection, dealing with a cut on his foot

1395
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 9: and he was grimacing in pain as he was trying

1396
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 9: to hit golf balls during the round and deal with that. Now,

1397
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 9: this puts his stat is for next week's US Open,

1398
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 9: and Jeopardy and Rom is going to answer questions about

1399
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 9: that in what they're now saying is going to be

1400
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 9: a pre tournament news conference this coming Tuesday at ten

1401
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 9: thirty am Eastern time, with the US Open at Pinehurst

1402
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 9: Resort in North Carolina coming up this next week. Meanwhile,

1403
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 9: on the PGA Tour, we have and wanted to also

1404
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 9: mention that the live event right now, it's a three

1405
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 9: way tie including Paul Casey, and he is still on

1406
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 9: the course set ten under through fifteen holes. But to

1407
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 9: the PGA Tour we go and their third round of

1408
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 9: action is ongoing right now, and Scotty Scheffler, world number one,

1409
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 9: he has been the leader. He actually put up a

1410
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 9: seven on the ninth hole, so that's very relatable for

1411
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 9: the common folk to put up a triple bogie on

1412
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 9: a hole. But Scotty Scheffler now has retaken the lead.

1413
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 9: He's two under for the day, eleven under in total,

1414
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 9: and that is good for a four shot lead. This

1415
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 9: is third round the Memorial Tournament, which continues to be

1416
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 9: in progress. Caitlin Clark and she's not going to be

1417
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 9: on Team USA women's basketball roster for the Summer Olympics.

1418
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 3: That was a decision that was made.

1419
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 9: And lastly, we touch on baseball really quickly, where Phillies

1420
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 9: have a seven to two win that they pulled off

1421
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 9: today against the Mets. This was in London with Maryfield

1422
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,479
Speaker 9: had a three run home run in the fourth inning,

1423
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 9: is part of a four make it six run fourth inning. Notably,

1424
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 9: in other games that are going on right now, the

1425
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 9: Royals have a five to three lead against the Mariners.

1426
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 3: That just finished up the fifth.

1427
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 9: Also, the Orioles have scored first one nothing against the

1428
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 9: Race that's in the bottom of the fifth. The Rays

1429
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 9: have only one hit to show for Twins and Pirates.

1430
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 9: They are scoreless into the sixth inning. And lastly, the

1431
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 9: Braves won the Nationals four national scoring the four first

1432
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 9: runs of this game and it's bottom of the fifth

1433
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 9: there from Washington. With that, let's get it back to

1434
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 9: Carmen and Alex.

1435

Speaker 2: Thank you, Brian. You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday. I'm

Speaker 2: covering all things LA sports, Lakers, Sparks. Please welcome our

1440
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 2: little ray of sunshine, Nikki kay.

1441
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 14: Oh, ladies, Hello, Hello, What a fabulous day in LA

1442
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 14: and especially to be a fan of all things purple

1443
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 14: and gold.

1444
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 2: I know all things. What a game last night. You

1445
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 2: looked like you were having fun. But let's start in

1446
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 2: the w NBA. First of all, I love that, like

1447
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 2: everybody is talking about it, national news networks, morning shows,

1448
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 2: top of sports talk radio shows. But there's been a

1449
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 2: lot of discussion about players targeting Kaitlyn Clark and a

1450
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 2: lot of this was following the hard foul by Kennedy

1451
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,439
Speaker 2: Carter on Caitlin Clark. Now, you were covering Caitlyn's first

1452
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 2: win when she was here in LA playing the Sparks.

1453
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 2: What's been kind of the view and the reaction from

1454
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 2: the players in the locker room?

1455
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 13: Listen, I think experience with the Sparks firsthand, and just

1456
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 13: kind of hearing the discourse around the league right now.

1457
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 13: It's the physicality of the league is something that is.

1458
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 14: Acknowledged on all levels, and yes, some players, some rookies,

1459
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 14: especially with the Sparks, Cameron Brink and Rakia Jackson have.

1460
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 13: Spoken to me, you know, this is a next step up.

1461
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 14: Right, especially from college basketball. Lesia Clarendon, who's a twelve year.

1462
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 13: Vet in the W has talked about just how physical

1463
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 13: the game is at this point in time and whether

1464
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 13: that's evolution of where the state of the game is

1465
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 13: at for women's basketball. That's one thing, but also then

1466
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 13: the discourse when you look at it heightened around Caitlin

1467
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 13: is another. It's causing a lot of attention, right, So

1468
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 13: I think, first of all, the physicality is a beautiful thing.

1469
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 13: I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary. I

1470
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 13: spoke with a Rey, who's the leading scorer in the.

1471
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 14: W yesterday, and I was like, how are you feeling,

1472
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 14: you know, in terms of your game, and she's like,

1473
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 14: this is where it's been for.

1474
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 13: The past six years. And frankly, now people are starting

1475
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 13: to talk about it and take notice. So I don't

1476
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 13: I think because of the spotlight on Caitlin Clark because

1477
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 13: she's a rookie, because she's getting like the treatment. Think

1478
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 13: about what Lonzo Ball got when he first stepped into

1479
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 13: the NBA. I think even Magic Johnson talked about it, right,

1480
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 13: It's like, hey, welcome to the big league's young fella,

1481
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 13: young athlete. Here you are, and how are you going

1482
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,799
Speaker 13: to respond? So I think I don't think she's getting

1483
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 13: any anything special.

1484
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 14: In terms of targeting going to speak.

1485
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, And honestly, you mentioned Rique a goomba walle league's

1486
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,759
Speaker 4: leading scorer and she didn't make the Olympic team. Everybody's

1487
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,839
Speaker 4: talking about how Caitlyn Clark was left off the Olympic

1488
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 4: roster and I'm like, well what about Arique?

1489
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 3: Right?

1490
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 13: Right? The Olympic roster and the conversation surrounding it is

1491
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 13: interesting today on so many levels, right, because you want

1492
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 13: to celebrate the talent that is tried and true, but

1493
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 13: you also need to recognize as a sport as a moment,

1494
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 13: like what is happening right now, and the conversation around

1495
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 13: Caitlin Clarks is so electric, it's so magnetic.

1496
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 14: She is arguably the biggest name. I mean, you can

1497
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 14: make an argument for her being the biggest name in

1498
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 14: basketball period not, you know, and to leave her off

1499
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 14: a roster where that could only continue the.

1500
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 13: You know, the sport throw the sport right, grow the

1501
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 13: sport is just such an interesting decision.

1502
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 14: I don't know if I would have made that decision.

1503
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 13: And some reports are saying that there are concerns about

1504
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 13: her fans being disappointed in her minutes.

1505
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 14: But it's like, you know, at some point, the disport

1506
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 14: is what drives is what drives viewership. So you want

1507
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 14: to go Sorry, a truck is passing by me right now,

1508
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 14: but no, so you want to you want to create

1509
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 14: that fuel.

1510
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 13: And I just I don't know, I don't know if

1511
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 13: I can stand by Team USA's decision to leave Caitlin Clark.

1512
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 13: And yes, obviously there's with any with any national team decision,

1513
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 13: names like.

1514
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 14: Marique are going to be left off.

1515
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 13: Off the cut, and so it is once again a

1516
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 13: talking point that's headlining our conversation on a Saturday in June.

1517
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 3: Exactly. I igere with me.

1518
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 2: I think it was a missed opportunity by Team USA.

1519
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 2: Carmen thinks it was the right call because he's not

1520
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 2: one of the best twelve.

1521
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 3: Players in the league right now.

1522
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like having Kaitlin Clark the most popular, biggest

1523
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 2: name that's completely changed the dynamic and just the viewership

1524
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 2: and the level of women's basketball is just such a

1525
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 2: miss opportunity.

1526
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 3: It's such a missed opportunity.

1527
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 13: Carman as a competitor what you're saying, But I do,

1528
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 13: I do tend to say the math is not mathing sometimes,

1529
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 13: you know the I'm with I think as I've.

1530
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 14: Moled through the you know, the little tidbits.

1531
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 13: We've gotten in that decision process, I just think did

1532
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 13: not have Caitlin Clark represented on the biggest stage of

1533
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 13: sport and on the biggest stage for Team USA for

1534
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 13: women's basketball, Like, like Alex is saying, a missed opportunity.

1535
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 2: I mean, we even have Camon Brink who made the

1536
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,440
Speaker 2: three on three teams, So show me out there representing

1537
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 2: team You'll say, there's just so many opportunities to somehow

1538
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 2: get her involved involved.

1539
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 4: Well, and I'm still talking about it because she's not involved,

1540
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 4: So I mean missed accomplished. Maybe I don't know.

1541
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 13: For this is in the midst of the NBA Finals

1542
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 13: and we are talking about sports Team USA women's basketball team,

1543
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 13: right like that.

1544
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:54,440
Speaker 14: That's incredible, it's remarkable.

1545
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 13: But like this discourse could have only continued throughout the summer,

1546
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 13: whether it's you know, it's criticizing how.

1547
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 14: Many minutes Caitlin's getting.

1548
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 13: A war fans critical of her action in games. At

1549
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 13: least we're talking about it and tuning in.

1550
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 14: All right.

1551
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of Karon Brink, though it seemed like Jimmy

1552
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:12,520
Speaker 4: G Bucket.

1553
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 3: Shooting a shot we're shooting is not.

1554
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,640
Speaker 4: Edgarvern Brink. I thought that was hysterical. Mickey, were you

1555
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 4: there for any of that? Did you see that?

1556
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 13: Got last night? I got worried.

1557
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 14: Hey, Jimmy is supposedly.

1558
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 13: At the game, and I've been you know, I was

1559
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:31,719
Speaker 13: president at Sparks Games last year and the NBA athletes

1560
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:33,759
Speaker 13: show up. And that's one thing I do love about

1561
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 13: the w is that the guys who play, you know,

1562
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:41,680
Speaker 13: as their counterparts, that they respect the competition and the

1563
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 13: level of athleticism. So first and foremost, I think though

1564
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 13: Jimmy knows what he's doing, it's been been courtside at

1565
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 13: the game in LA. I also know that Cam has

1566
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 13: been shown in the social media video before where she

1567
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 13: basically rapaboff Jimmy as her favorite player in all aspects.

1568
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 13: I have to say he He and Steph Curry are

1569
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 13: like two of my favorite players, so you know, just

1570
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,440
Speaker 13: for his I think he calls him his side conquest,

1571
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 13: his personality and randomness that he does outside of the game,

1572
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 13: and then when he shows up as playoffs Jimmy, it's

1573
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 13: like he is a character through and through. But I think,

1574
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 13: you know, Frankly, I was.

1575
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 14: Chatting with him courtside and I couldn't even hear.

1576
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:29,640
Speaker 13: The answers he was giving me in an in game interview,

1577
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 13: and it's like he went out of his way to

1578
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 13: talk about how much he loves LA teams and how

1579
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 13: much he could see twenty two in purple and goals.

1580
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 3: Love that I saw that.

1581
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 13: I know He's like, I'm just gonna say Cam is

1582
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 13: twenty two, but guess guess who also is number twenty two?

1583
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 13: And guess I was also trying to find some leverage

1584
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 13: as an NBA, you know player this off season, so

1585
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 13: he was It was.

1586
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,719
Speaker 4: So Jimmy, But he give Jimmy whatever he wants, protect

1587
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 4: him at all costs.

1588
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 13: Honestly, he's a walking meme, a walking treat. I appreciate

1589
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 13: him so much.

1590
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 3: I love it.

1591
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 2: But let's talk about the Lakers, right because it seemed

1592
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 2: like JJ Redick was in line to become the next

1593
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 2: Lakers coach, but then out of the blue, we got

1594
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 2: Yukon's Stan Hurley emerging as a front runner. He was

1595
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 2: out here I think it was yesterday or the day

1596
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 2: before meeting with the Lakers. What are you hearing about

1597
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 2: the Lakers head coaching search and who's going to be

1598
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:29,919
Speaker 2: the best.

1599
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 13: Fit well as it pertains to those two candidates. I mean,

1600
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 13: it was really interesting with the JJ Reddick discourse.

1601
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:37,680
Speaker 10: That was popping up.

1602
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 13: Right, He's obviously got a high io. He is a great,

1603
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 13: you know personality when it comes to talking about the game.

1604
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 13: And he's also Lebron James podcast host.

1605
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 3: Though it's right how that works, buddy.

1606
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 13: But specifically the WOJ bomb dropping about Danny Hurley being

1607
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 13: a serious candidate. Honestly, I started smiling because as a

1608
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 13: huge fan of college basketball and knowing what he's built

1609
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,679
Speaker 13: that Yukon program to be and the buy in he's

1610
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 13: gotten from his players has just been so fun and

1611
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 13: it's a reminder. Well I say this on one hand,

1612
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 13: it's a reminder for some foremost what collegiate athletics can be, right,

1613
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 13: but that can also be that can also be a

1614
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 13: knock against him when you think about how can he

1615
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 13: finesse and interact with star level you know athletes in

1616
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 13: the NBA like would they buy.

1617
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 3: In to a Latairs and a billionaire and.

1618
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 13: Lebron a loud, hard nosed personality like Danny Hurley. Now

1619
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 13: part of you have to think, like, Okay, the IQ

1620
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 13: of Danny Hurley, He's got to know what he's stepping into.

1621
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 13: It's not coaching seventeen eighteen, nineteen.

1622
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 14: Year olds up anymore.

1623
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:59,520
Speaker 13: Now you're dealing, like you said, with the most established

1624
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 13: stars in the game. So I think what I like

1625
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 13: about what this signifies from the Lakers franchise in terms

1626
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 13: of their interest in him, it's that not only when

1627
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 13: they talk about a long term you know, mega mega

1628
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 13: money deal being floated his way. It's looking past the

1629
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:22,799
Speaker 13: era of Lebron James and looking to build something new

1630
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 13: with mofully, Like you know, you think about the evolution

1631
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,600
Speaker 13: of Brad Stevens. So maybe he's that next mind is

1632
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 13: what they're hoping. And I like the forward thoughts from

1633
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 13: the franchise, and I also love Danny Hurley, so I

1634
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 13: can't knock that, knock that effort at least.

1635
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just hope it wasn't like a ploy to

1636
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 2: try to get more money from Yukon. Who knows it's

1637
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 2: gonna be a fun thing to watch just unfold over

1638
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,160

01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 5: Excuse me talking to right now, Boles.

1687
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I haven't seen anything since I was a child,

1688
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 6: A literal child, when I thought the B and NBA

1689
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:45,839
Speaker 6: stood for bulls.

1690
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 5: That's how like.

1691
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 4: Oh when I was Yes, when I was growing up,

1692
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 4: I did because they were in the Championship every year

1693
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 4: when I was growing up, and I wasn't like aware

1694
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 4: enough yet to really understand how the NBA worked.

1695
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 3: So I was like, I thought the really shack era

1696
01:18:58,240 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 3: was me growing up.

1697
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 2: I am actually wearing a vintage Kobe shirt where you're

1698
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 2: sitting holding like thinking about life, holding the Larry O'Brien championsstential.

1699
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.
