00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: show last night.

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: You were up watching what in Melbourne? At what time?

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: And how late were you.

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,600

00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: For?

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: Well? Well, local local qualifying started at eleven my time,

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: so eleven Central times, so it started at midnight Eastern. Okay,

27
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: but you know, obviously it's just like Australian Open, it's

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: just you know, the other side of the world. But

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 4: I wanted to just I wanted to see it live

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: because I knew this morning was going to be a

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 4: little bit busy and distracted. So even super tired, I

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: stayed up and watched that, uh first qualifying of the season.

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 4: And now the race is on and it is in

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 4: front of me. I was going to turn it off

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 4: and try to watch it later, but I'm at least

36
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: going to watch the start here as we do the show.

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: It is sporting related again, it is it is, It

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: is what it is, but it is I am super

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: excited about it. So you know how it is. You

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 4: get you get kind of caught up in the mix

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: of the sports and the hobbies that you love. Then

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: you end up talking about him for a living, and

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: then sometimes you have some other ones that you just

44
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: kind of watch on the side and enjoy.

45
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: No, I get it.

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you this sport that I usually

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 2: watch and enjoy that I don't know. It's a ton

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: of national buzz except for this time of the year.

49
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Is of course college basketball. Let's go ahead and start

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: their final Saturday of the regular season. Technically Sunday is

51
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: the final day of the regular season. Interesting game between

52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: Michigan and Michigan State in the Big Ten. By the way,

53
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: as we're coming on, we have, by technicality, our second

54
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: automatic bid, really our first, but sort of our second.

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: Tennessee State first year head coach Nolan Smith. Jmark, do

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: you re John Shire's teammate at Duke I remember, yeah,

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: he's the head coach at Tennessee State. First year head coach.

58
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: They win the Ohio Valley in year one under Nolan Smith. Now,

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: technically Long Island actually clinched a bid today because they're

60
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: in one of those weird leagues that they allow teams

61
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: into the conference tournament that aren't eligible for the NCAA Tournament.

62
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 2: So they're playing they haven't played their conference championship game yet,

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: but the team that they're playing isn't eligible for the

64
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: NCAA Tournament. So the second bid has officially been clinched.

65
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: Nolan Smith, the Tennessee State, I want to say, Jaguars,

66
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: maybe Panthers. They're headed to the NCAA Tournament. Jim mar

67
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: let me just ask you the Tigers, I knew it

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: was a big cat. Listen, their logo is blue, and

69
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: it makes it a little confusing. You know, it could

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: be it wasn't a lion because there was no Maine,

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: so I couldn't tell if it was a jaguar or

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: a cheetah. But it is the Tennessee State Tigers. Everyone

73
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: knows Tennessee is known for the tigers running around in

74
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: the wild there. But real quick, kylege hoops, I mean

75
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: it's here. We're gonna have a bracket in our hands

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: a little over a week from now. Are you excite?

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: Have you been able to watch what are your takes

78
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: on what is basically the final day of the regular

79
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: season here?

80
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I did. I got to watch some

81
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: of it. I didn't get to watch everything all day long.

82
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna be honest. Yeah, Like, based on what

83
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 4: I was able to sort of watch as it was

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: going along, most things were pretty chalky and weren't even

85
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: all that close. I don't necessarily expect the Arizona Colorado

86
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: was gonna change that. But you know, like Duke was

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: what like a nineteen point favorite, so I guess they

88
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: didn't cover. So if you're one of those gambling types

89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 4: that might have been more interesting, but after the injury,

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: you know, Carolina just felt like they were super deflated

91
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: even entering that game. But you just you can watch

92
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: some of these games and you can look at some

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: of these teams and you could see who's peaking and

94
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 4: who seems to be playing their best basketball and coming around,

95
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 4: and then you can really kind of distinguish that, Yeah,

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 4: there's gonna be some teams from big conferences that are

97
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: gonna get into this tournament have absolutely no shot to

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: do anything because they're just either flawed or they're just

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 4: flat out not interesting, like there's not anything dynamic about

100
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: what they're doing on the floor. So I mean, maybe

101
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 4: they're gonna catch some people off guard in the conference tournament,

102
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 4: but I think we still have a pretty We're gonna

103
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 4: have a big field of teams that I just am

104
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 4: not gonna know how to parse between. And the biggest

105
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 4: reason is because they're all kind of meh, if that

106
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 4: makes any sense, Like not that they're bad, but that

107
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: there's nothing particularly stand out about them. So it's gonna

108
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: come down to, well, this guy's got sighs, So maybe

109
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: that's gonna be a good matchup everything's gonna be about

110
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: matchups outside of the just elite of the elite.

111
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: I will tell you this as somebody who watches a

112
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: little bit closer. You know, if you remember last year,

113
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: we had the crazy Chalky bracket. I don't remember every

114
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: detail off the top of my head. Obviously we had

115
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: four number one seeds at the final four. If I

116
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: remember correctly, I'm pretty sure sure that every number one seed,

117
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: three of the four number two seeds. The only one

118
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: that didn't make it was Saint John's which lost to

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 2: which lost to Arkansas. So three of the four two seeds,

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: I believe all four three seeds and three four seeds

121
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: all made it. So basically it was crazy Chalky. The

122
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: biggest quote unquote underdog was John Calperiot Arkansas.

123
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: What I will.

124
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: Say I think this year, I do think that top four,

125
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: and I think Florida has now officially established itself as

126
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: the fourth best team in college basket, not not even

127
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: the fourth best team, but they're gonna get the fourth

128
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: number one seed barring like a wild, wild wild loss

129
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: in the SEC Tournament.

130
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: Dan did all he could, though, let me let.

131
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: Me say this. You know what's crazy?

132
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: So boy, well, couple things, so you know, I know

133
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: we are, of course, the both Yukon Show of Record

134
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: and the Yukon Women's Basketball Show of Record here at

135
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. People think I'll never say anything negative

136
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: about Yukon and Dan Hurley. First of all, Dan Hurley's

137
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: behavior completely unacceptable today. I think the Biggie should suspend

138
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: him for the Big East Tournament opener. You can't do that.

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: You can't put your face in another man's face like that.

140
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: I'll also say this, jmart so one, that loss was

141
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: consequential because I think it did eliminate Yukon from a

142
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: shot at that fourth number one seed. And I will

143
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: just tell you this is I don't know what the

144
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: conversation is, and it's not a national talking point whatever

145
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: Yukon has probably had. I've been watching Yukon basketball for

146
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: thirty years. The first year I remember, really like remembering

147
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: Yukon basketball was ninety five ninety six. It was Ray

148
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: Allen's last year. They got a number one seed. They

149
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: lost in sweet sixteen. I actually think this is probably

150
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: the most unfulfilling Yukon basketball season that I have ever watched.

151
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not I'm a historian, but not enough

152
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: of a historian of every team to know this. I

153
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: don't know if there's ever been a twenty seven and

154
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: four team in a power conference that has been like

155
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: less fun to watch. I'll just try to be quick

156
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: on this and I'll throw it back to you. They

157
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: were really good early and they deserve credit for that.

158
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: They beat BYU and by he was a full strength.

159
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: They won at Kansas, which is crazy. Shockingly, Darren Peterson

160
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: did not play in that game. They did beat Florida

161
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: that was basically when Florida was starting to figure things out.

162
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: But they play in the lousy Big East. The Big

163
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: East will be a three bid league unless there's a bid.

164
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: Steeler lost to They took two really bad losses, creating

165
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: at home and today to Marquette. Marquette, for people who

166
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: don't know, improved to twelve and nineteen with the win.

167
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not quite the Marquette team that it was

168
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: a handful of years ago.

169
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: No, and to put a bow on it, there have

170
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 2: been a lot of games that they easily could have

171
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: lost that they just won because the other competition is bad.

172
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 3: I'll be quick on this, but they had a two.

173
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: Point win at Georgetown, a six point win over a

174
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: Providence team that's fired their coach, a separate overtime win

175
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: over Providence. They did beat Butler by they beat Georgetown

176
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: by four in the game in the return game, and

177
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 2: so I bring it up. It's been a weirdly unfulfilling

178
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: season for Yukon for people who are trying to figure

179
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: out what their bracket looks. Like, I know, there's always

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: a belief, you know, you don't bet against the two

181
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: time champion and a guy who's whatever. This Yukon team

182
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: ain't it, And like I said, Dan Hurley, I think,

183
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: really I think the league should step in and suspend it.

184
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: I don't think Yukon can. I don't know they can,

185
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: but I don't think they will. But I think they

186
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: should suspend them.

187
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: Yukon.

188
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: That was a very consequential result. They are not getting

189
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: that fourth number one seed, and like I said, I

190
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: think three are really wrapped up here Arizona Duke and

191
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: Michigan Florida and the driver's seat for the fourth number one.

192
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Do you think that

193
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: Hurley's behavior today just indicates it's just been a frustrating

194
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: sea or maybe even a frustrating last couple of years

195
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: for him after where they were riding and just kind

196
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: of it just it has not come quite as easily,

197
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 4: has it, And it just seems like maybe that's just

198
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 4: worn on him as the season goes along, because even

199
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 4: for him, this was way over the line.

200
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: So yes, and so to answer your question, yes, last

201
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: year was a disaster, but you could kind of write

202
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: it off to injuries and this and that. This year,

203
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: So Jmart like, we're getting nerdy yukon now, but if

204
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: there's ever time to do it, it's now.

205
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been.

206
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: It's been.

207
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 2: It's been a weird year because here was the thing,

208
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: J Mart is that the team kept winning. Okay, so

209
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: they lost to Saint John's, they lost to Arizona early,

210
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 2: which obviously no shame in that loss at all. They

211
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: didn't lose until they lost in November, and then they

212
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: didn't lose again until February sixth to Saint John's. They

213
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: had an eighteen game win streak. But like I said,

214
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: I told you the scores. There two wins over a

215
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: Providence team, which isn't good that just fire their coach.

216
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 2: Georgetown's terrible, you barely beat them twice. So it's been

217
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: this weird year where during that win streak, and I

218
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: don't even think he was doing it in a negative way.

219
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: I think he was trying to defend his players where

220
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: there was a couple times where you know, he kind

221
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: of would go to the podium and say, you know,

222
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: like he I'm paraphrasing, but basically, Yukon fans were winning,

223
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: we're twenty one and one, we're nineteen and one, we're

224
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: twenty two and two, like, appreciate this.

225
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: It isn't easy. And then there was one game.

226
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 2: Where the fans didn't really show up and he kind

227
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: of called out the fans after the game, and then

228
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: they ended up losing literally the next game to Creton

229
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: at home, which was until today one of the worst losses.

230
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 3: And so it's been this weird thing where.

231
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: I think even he knew, like I can't figure out

232
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: why I can't get more out of this team, but

233
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: he was trying to defend the team.

234
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: And then he had to admit that they weren't quite right.

235
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: And then they destroy Royd Saint John's in the second game,

236
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: so maybe everything's all right, and then they went right

237
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: back to who they were. So yes, to answer your question,

238
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: I think he's been very frustrated and I think he

239
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: just again last year you could write off to injuries,

240
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: you misevaluate a guy, or to this year, the talent

241
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: is there, but he just can't quite figure out how

242
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: to get that talent where it needs to be.

243
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, well he still knows what he's doing. But yeah,

244
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's it's got to be frustrating

245
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 4: for somebody that is just used to being able to

246
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 4: maximize potential, and maybe this potential was just lower. Maybe

247
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: this ceiling is just a little bit lower than he

248
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 4: even anticipated going into this season. But if you take

249
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 4: a longer view, if you take like a thirty thousand

250
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: foot view of everything that's happening in college hoops right now,

251
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: I can ask you this question. But the tournament is

252
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 4: always good, like the NCAA tournament, it's always a great event. Now,

253
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: some games are going to be better than others, and

254
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: some years are gonna be better than others. But on

255
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 4: the scale of what you expect going into this year,

256
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 4: what kind of tournament are we shaping up to have

257
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 4: in terms of I don't know, you could take it

258
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 4: from a different from different perspectives, like it may is

259
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: it gonna be as chalky as last year. I don't know,

260
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: But in terms of just overall drama and interest level

261
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 4: maybe from some of these middle of the pack teams

262
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 4: or anything like that, I'm not as I'm not as

263
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: gung ho on it this year as I kind of

264
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: felt about it last year.

265
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what I would say, and this was the

266
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: point that I was gonna make, and I got derailed

267
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 2: ranting about Yukon, So shout out to our listeners and

268
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: on our Hertford affiliate who probably enjoyed the hell out

269
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: of that rant. No, what I was gonna say is

270
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: I do think that top four is really, really, really good,

271
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: and by the way Arizona is playing right now, I

272
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: think they'll win it when it's stunned me if they

273
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: lost on the road, final game, whatever, bring it up,

274
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: because I think the two three four lines are not

275
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: nearly as strong as last year, and so I think

276
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 2: pretty much everybody except for that those top four are

277
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: going to be susceptible. I mean, you look at you know,

278
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: Yukon just has taken two terrible losses. Iowa State will

279
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: you know, will probably be a two to three seed,

280
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: has lost two of their last three and three of

281
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: their last five. Now, admittedly not all of them are

282
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: bad losses. They lost to Arizona the other day, but

283
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: got destroyed by Texas Tech at home. Even Houston, like Houston,

284
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: you know, weird because like, offensively, they're probably maybe even

285
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: better than they were last year when they played for

286
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: a championship, but you could just tell they're younger. They

287
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: don't have those dudes like defensively that just make your

288
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: life hell. So the only point I guess I'm trying

289
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: to make is that is that I think those one seeds,

290
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough to knock them out early. But

291
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: I could see that seven versus two on a Sunday night,

292
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: you know whoever that two seed is, Houston, Yukon, whatever,

293
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: And then I think that opens up to you know,

294
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: what do you want out of your tournament? I think

295
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: there will be a balance of more upsets this year,

296
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: but the really good teams I do think are going

297
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: to separate themselves once that tournament starts.

298
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, again, the tournament's gonna be good. I'm I'm

299
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 4: I'm a little bit more interested in just watching the

300
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 4: conference tournaments. Yeah next week, I'm kind of keen on

301
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 4: those just to see how some of these that are

302
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: you know, second and third tier teams, who's gonna try

303
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: to make a run and who's gonna kind of coalesce

304
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 4: and get on that like hot streak that like NC

305
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: State got on a couple of years ago or something

306
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: like that. Maybe not even win the tournament, but a

307
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: team that's in the mix that solidifies its spot in

308
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 4: the tournament, but maybe find something, you know, I think

309
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 4: a couple of these tournaments ought to be pretty interesting.

310
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: The one thing I will say is that I do

311
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: think the SEC it's hard for me to see anybody

312
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: beating Florida because and I was telling somebody this, is

313
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: that not only is Florida, by the way, like statistically

314
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: is insane. Like I saw something about like their point

315
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: March they were coming into today, they were on a

316
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: ten game winning streak where they were winning by an

317
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: average of twenty three points per game. And so I

318
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: say it because Florida is the one where not only

319
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: are they the best team, but also like they're also

320
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: just a very bad matchup for a lot of the

321
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: teams that are good.

322
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: But what I will say is I don't think.

323
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: Duke is infallible in the ACC I could see a

324
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: couple teams knocking them off. Unfortunately, North Carolina has some injuries.

325
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: Otherwise I think they maybe were in contention today, but

326
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: I could see Duke knocking them off. Obviously, Arizona will

327
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: be the number one seed in the Big Twelve, but

328
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: in a league with Houston even Kansas. I don't know

329
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: if you saw our buddy Derek. Did you see that

330
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: Derek Peterson quote today?

331
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: No? I missed the quote. What he said.

332
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: He was joking. He had a great game.

333
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: It was obviously their last home game, and so since

334
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: I've watched him on these airwaves for a month straight,

335
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 2: he went to the podium and you know, he said,

336
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: I love this school. I love the da da da

337
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: da dah bridy. Maybe you can even find this quick

338
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: sound bite. We'll play it coming out of the break,

339
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: but he said, I love the school, I love this

340
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: I love that. And then Melvin Counsel, who is like

341
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: kind of like basically he's become the star. When Darren

342
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 2: Peterson decides to sit games out, you know, he starts

343
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: doing the one more year, one more year, and Darren

344
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: Pearson goes, yeah, maybe I'll come back to Kansas next year.

345
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 3: Who knows.

346
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: So it was a pretty funny. It was a pretty

347
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 2: funny SoundBite. But but yeah, sort.

348
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: Of doubt that.

349
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I sort of doubt it too.

350
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, even like a listen, if Kansas can actually

351
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: lock in and figure out, okay, is this guy playing

352
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: or not, like they're a team that can win the

353
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: Big twelve.

354
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 4: So, by the way, if he starts playing and we

355
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 4: don't have any more issues, all of what's happened up

356
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: to this point becomes a blip, Like we're not really

357
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 4: gonna talk about this long term. It's gonna be one

358
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: weird thing that that happened for a short time. He'll

359
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 4: be asked about in a few interviews as a pro

360
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: or something like that on somebody's podcast. But like, if

361
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 4: he goes on and he performs, and that team makes

362
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 4: a deep run in a tournament with behind him, everything's

363
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 4: gonna be fine for him. Like, our whole issue was

364
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: that it was radio silence at a time when everybody

365
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 4: else was writing his narrative for him, maybe within complete information,

366
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: and that just didn't make any sense from a public

367
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: relations standpoint.

368
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: That was my only issue.

369
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: And I want to be clear on this, since you know,

370
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: we had a couple of rants here over the last

371
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: couple of Saturdays. I never would advocate for someone to

372
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: play through injuries.

373
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 4: No, especially a.

374
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: Dude who, you know, if things go well, could be

375
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: worth half a billion dollars when it's all said and done,

376
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: Like this isn't the scrappy sixth man on Oregon State here,

377
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: like he's got a bright future ahead of him. All

378
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: I was saying, and all you were saying for the

379
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks was hey, like you don't want

380
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: people talking about us, give us some clarification. The good

381
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: news is he has played actual quite a bit here

382
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: over these last couple of weeks. And this was Darren

383
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: Peterson after the game today last time.

384
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 4: I'm probably gonna do this episode.

385
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 5: So I love Kansas, I love everything about being here.

386
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Maybe one more year I might run it back.

387
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: That was Darren Peterson after the game.

388
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: You heard everybody else just kind of chuckling like, yeah.

389
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: I Kansas fans, I would not put down your season

390
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 3: ticket deposits expecting to see Darren Peterson.

391
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: Honestly. I mean, let's be real, if he came back,

392
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: it'd be one of the dumbest decisions ever. Like, if

393
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 4: he's going top one, top two in the NBA draft.

394
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 4: Go ahead and go, my friend, go go enjoy your life.

395
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: One hundred and so I will say, as somebody who

396
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: has obviously been critical of him on these airwaves in

397
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: other places, I'm happy that he got that moment. You know,

398
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: there was Kansas played somebody I guess it was Iowa Statement.

399
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: They played somebody on Big Monday a few weeks ago,

400
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: and any.

401
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was Iowa State.

402
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he got that moment where like basically it

403
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: was actually the Houston game. They played Houston Big Monday

404
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, and he got that moment where

405
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: he was just one of the guys and got to

406
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: run off. So I I you know, I hope he

407
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 2: stays healthy. Whatever was the issue, I hope is behind him.

408
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: Kansas gets the win today and Big twelve is just

409
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: about done except for the late game. Here Texas Tech

Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live. Yes, we are live from the

430

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio studios, eleven twenty nine Eastern time. We

431
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: got four games on with Arizona number two in the country,

432
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: tied at fourteen at Colorado. Actually Colorado's up seventeen and fourteen.

433
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: Excuse me, Washington and Oregon has just started on FS one.

434
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: Of course, UCLA beating USC and the crosstown rivalry. Right

435
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: before we got on air, we have BYU trailing Texas

436
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: Tech at the half and jmart don't know who you

437
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 2: have in your Summit League tournament bracket. But right now

438
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: in the second semi final, Saint Thomas is up thirty

439
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: four to twenty eight on North Dakota. The winner tomorrow

440
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: night will get North Dakota State the Bison who won

441
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 2: earlier in the day against Omaha, and the winner there

442
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: it gets an auto bids.

443
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: So there you go.

444
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 2: Well see if Miami of Ohio gets an auto bid.

445
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 2: But they did finish the regular season thirty one to

446
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: zero on Friday nights, So Jamar, I'll be honest, So

447
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm a little on the weeds in college hoops. And

448
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: you know, you kind of saw this comment as it

449
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: went from you know, really you know, interesting story to

450
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: like really cool story, to then the pushback on the

451
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: really cool story. Because of course, Miami of Ohio is undefeated.

452
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: They finished the regular season last night, Friday night, with

453
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: an overtime win over Ohio University.

454
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: But there's obviously been a lot of pushback.

455
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: They play in a small league, they have a very

456
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: low strength of schedule, They played zero Power Conference teams. Now,

457
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: it is worth noting Travis Steele has said in multiple

458
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 2: interviews that they basically called every essentially every single Power

459
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: Conference team and they all declined to play Miami of Ohio,

460
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 2: and of course the reason being that they knew Miami

461
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: of Ohio was going to be returning a lot of

462
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: their talent. Blah blah blah blah blah, this and that,

463
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: and there's no I.

464
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 4: Mean that you win it, and they're like, all right,

465
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 4: you beat Miami of Ohio.

466
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: Exactly.

467
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 4: It's it's a hard case to make for the big

468
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 4: for the big guy to want to play the little

469
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 4: guy because there's so much to lose and very little

470
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 4: to gain.

471
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 2: Yes, one hundred and so it's this weird situation where

472
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 2: they're now thirty one and oh they finished twenty and

473
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: ohero in their league. They played zero Power Conference teams.

474
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: Resume isn't very good. But do you think there's any

475
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: And by the way, I should also reference because this

476
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: was part of the talking point Auburn, which lost tonight,

477
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: is now sixteen and fifteen. Why it's important former head

478
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: coach Bruce pearl Is on TV. He has a very

479
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: prominent voice, said that teams like Alburn should get the

480
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: benefit of doubt for playing tough schedules. Of course, his

481
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: son took over for him at Auburn and Alburn is

482
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 2: kind of a unique case because they do have literally

483
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 2: the number one strength of schedule in America. Where are

484
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: you at on this story? Has it captivated you? Are

485
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: you worried at all about Miami of Ohio being left out?

486
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: What do you think? As the RedHawks improved to thirty

487
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: one and oh with the win on Friday Night?

488
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 4: So thirty one and Oho feels like to me in

489
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 4: a field as big as the NCAA tournament put him in.

490
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 4: This is not college football, where the numbers are so

491
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 4: much different and the just the percentages of teams that

492
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 4: actually get a shot in the college football playoff is

493
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 4: so much smaller. In this case, I think you can

494
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 4: find a way, and quite frankly, you can find a

495
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 4: way at the expense of a middling big conference team

496
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 4: that did very little to distinguish themselves if they played

497
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 4: a tough schedule, but they're one game over five hundred, Like,

498
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 4: do I think Miami of Ohio is going to get

499
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 4: into the tournament and make a deep run? No? But

500
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 4: what more could they do then go undefeated? And to

501
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: to coach Steele's point, if they did all that they

502
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 4: could do in terms of trying to improve their schedule,

503
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: trying to get some games like that. What more at

504
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: that point, like if you hold them out, then what

505
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 4: exactly are you saying? It's just like, well, they never

506
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 4: had a chance to begin with. They shouldn't have even tried,

507
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: Like they shouldn't have even attempted to play because no

508
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 4: one was going to add them to the schedule, and

509
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 4: then you were going to say, well, your schedule's not

510
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 4: good enough, like thirty one to zero. Now I will say, look,

511
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 4: escaping that game in overtime against not a particularly good team.

512
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 4: On the other side, that doesn't help your case. But

513
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: I feel like this the NCAA tournament in the early going,

514
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: in the first weekend, maybe even into the sweet sixteen,

515
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 4: is so much about the stories. It's about the storylines,

516
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: and it's hard to believe that a thirty one to

517
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 4: oh team wouldn't be exciting just to see what they

518
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 4: could do against the teams that would not play them

519
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: during the regular season. So, you know, I am less

520
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 4: about the little guy in college football generally, just because

521
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 4: I do think there is a difference in the kind

522
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: of games that are played by some of these other conferences.

523
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 4: In this case, when you've won thirty one games and

524
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 4: that's all you've played. I think it would be a

525
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 4: shame if they were left out.

526
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, So a couple things.

527
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: One and admittedly this is just one bracket, but I'm

528
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: looking at it right now. Joe Lenardi, who obviously is

529
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: kind of the industry standard. He has four teams from

530
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: the SEC either in the last actually he has Auburn

531
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: in the last four in Okay, there you go. They

532
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: they're now sixteen and fifteen. This bracket is obviously a

533
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: little bit outdated. He has SMU, who is of course

534
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: now in the ACC. They finished their regular season nineteen

535
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: and twelve, eight and ten in the league, and oh,

536
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: by the way, lost four straight to end the regular season.

537
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: What I would say is a couple things is one,

538
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: you're absolutely so, you're right on You're right on a

539
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: lot of stuff, Jamart obviously, But yes, the two specific

540
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: things that you said that stood out to me was

541
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: one is that the field is bigger. And I think

542
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 2: you and I disagree a little bit on the college

543
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: football playoff, if the G five should get one bid, whatever,

544
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 2: It doesn't change the fact though that in college football

545
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: it does feel like you're potentially leaving out good teams

546
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: from a twelve team field that could make a run,

547
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: most notably this year, Notre Dame, respectful to Auburn, which

548
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 2: is sixteen to fifteen again, and some of these other

549
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 2: teams that are right on the bubble, they're not making

550
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: a run. And even if they hypothetically can make a run,

551
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 2: they have had their chances throughout the season, and so

552
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: to me, I'm with you, they've had more than enough opportunities.

553
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: Part of the NCAA tournament, as you said, is the storylines.

554
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: And let me just say one other thing, which there's

555
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: no real tangible way to kind of prove this, but

556
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: this is my biggest issue with forcing in all these

557
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: teams that are really struggling, and you know, middling I

558
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: think is the word you used, and it's one hundred

559
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: percent correct. You know who's the last team? You know,

560
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: who are the last people that want to watch Auburn

561
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: basketball right now? Auburn fans, they know they're not good,

562
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: they know they're not good. I won't name the name

563
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: of the person because he works at Fox Sports, but

564
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: but you might know him, you might not. It's no,

565
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: it's nobody's super important. But I remember a few years ago,

566
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: I'll just say he's he was a fan of the

567
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: University of Texas and Texas Undershaka Smart had like a

568
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: three four year run where every year they were on

569
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: the bubble and every year they were whatever. And I

570
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: remember texting time and I just said, dude, so you

571
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 2: you know, like you think you're gonna make it.

572
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm so tired of watching this team. I

573
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: hope we don't make it. And that's all Burn fans, right.

574
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: I know you're not on social media anymore, Jmart, do

575
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: a quick Google search Allburn basketball.

576
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: All it is is either people like us in the

577
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: media saying don't put them in or Auburn fans being like,

578
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: I hate this team. End the season. Put me out

579
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: of my misery. So we got to get to the SEGA.

580
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: But really quick, any final thoughts on just yeah, anything

581
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: college hoops And we got two more hours. But but

582
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: obviously this has been a huge talking point and curious

583
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: for anything else you have to add.

584
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 4: There, No, I mean, not necessarily. I think that's I

585
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 4: think that's funny and I think it's probably more true

586
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: than a lot of fan bases would want to admit that, Like,

587
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: when you're watching a team, even if you love them

588
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 4: to death. Like your bias can only go so far

589
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 4: when it relates to what you believe is possible. So

590
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 4: it's like just put us in. It's no like I

591
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: don't want to see us go get drubbed by twenty

592
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 4: five against nobody, or I don't want to go play

593
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 4: boring basketball and just be done on Thursday or Friday

594
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: when we start the tournament. The same way, I feel

595
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 4: that way in a lot of sports. Its just like

596
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 4: when my team is not it. It's not like I

597
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: want them to lose, but it's just like, man, do

598
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 4: we even need the torture that goes along with this

599
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 4: or can we just turn the page and look to

600
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 4: next season?

601
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll just be really quick because we got

602
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: to get to disagre.

603
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: This is what I was saying about you Connor earlier,

604
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: is that you can look at a win loss record

605
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: and it's obviously not the same. But twenty seven and

606
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 2: four two really bad losses down the stretch. Everyone who

607
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: watches this team every game knows, you know what, we

608
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: know what a championship team looks like, and this probably

609
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: ain't it. And I know that Auburn fans feel the

610
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: same way. I'm sure a lot of teams on the bubble.

611
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: Their fans feel the same way. Miami fans, don't I think,

612
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: by the way, for what it's worth thirty one to oh,

613
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: I don't think the Committe's leaving him out, even if

614
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: they lose in the conference tournament. Fox Sports Radio er

615

616
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Still a lot to discuss,

617
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: but there's also a lot we've missed. Let's get it over.

618
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: It's the news desk first time this evening. Steve de Sega,

619
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: what is Treday?

620
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 4: Hello.

00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 2: j Mart, Listen, it's to me more background when I'm

Speaker 2: We'll see how it goes when we get deeper into

705
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 2: the tournament. But I love the World Baseball class Again,

706
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: maybe it's just the you know, the Americana and the

707
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: playing for the name, you know, the red, white and

708
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: blue whatever. I've been really into it. And I'll tell

709
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: you this. Last night, you know, the wife was not

710
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 2: really around, and I caught a replay at one of

711
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: the Japan games and it was like the stadium was awesome.

712
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico had a walk off tonight in Puerto Rico.

713
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: It's a really fun event. You know, we're not going

714
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 2: to break down bullpens and depth charts, but I really

715
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: enjoy myself. If you had a chance to watch any.

716
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 4: Yet a little bit not as much as like I

717
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 4: was really excited about it. And it's just I don't

718
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 4: know if it's just my brain hasn't fully turned on

719
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: yet when it comes to it, but it's like it's

720
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 4: sort of happening. And I will say this, like if

721
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 4: you are, if you're not like active on social media,

722
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 4: a lot of things can slip past if you're not

723
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 4: really paying close attention. And so I've kind of watched

724
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 4: a lot of it through highlights, but I was able

725
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 4: to see some of both nights of both of the

726
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 4: last night and tonight, and you're right, like the atmosphere

727
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 4: is fantastic, and I don't know exactly there's not much

728
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 4: more that they could do. It's still gonna be a

729
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 4: great way to just sort of give a bit of

730
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 4: an extra boost to the upcoming MLB season. I think

731
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 4: it's gonna get better and better as we go along.

732
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 4: But you are, you're already seeing like what it looks

733
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 4: like when guys care in international competition. You know, you

734
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 4: had the big judge performance yesterday and just it has

735
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 4: been it's already been fun. I just don't know that

736
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 4: I'm like one hundred percent there yet, Like I part

737
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 4: of me is there, and I just I'm waiting for

738
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: the rest of me to catch up.

739
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 2: No, I totally get it. I mean, listen, there's a

740
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: lot going on in the world of sports. We have

741
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 2: NBA going on. We obviously we reference off the top

742
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: some f one has started and so I get it.

743
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: I will say this too, like, and it's probably just

744
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: coming off the patriotism of the US winning gold and

745
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 2: men's ice hockey, but like, I do think there is

746
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: something too, like like you know, what's the coolest part

747
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: jmart Is you know, we spend a lot of time

748
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: and maybe too much being negative about you know, how

749
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 2: much do these athletes actually care? Load management? Is Darren

750
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 2: Peterson opting out. It's like when these guys put on

751
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 2: the red, white and blue, whether it's hockey even the NBA,

752
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 2: Like those guys like you could tell they really care.

753
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: And I guess it would have been two you know,

754
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: two summers ago in twenty twenty four when it was

755
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: Steph and Lebron and then of course this World Baseball Classic,

756
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 2: Like you can tell there is something a little bit extra.

757
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: You know, you go back to the last World Baseball

758
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: Classic show Heyo tanis striking out Mike Trout to end

759
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 2: the event. I just think there's something to that patriotism,

760
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 2: at least from the USA perspective.

761
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: Red white and blue. It pops off the TV, I guess,

762
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 3: is what.

763
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 4: I would say. Oh, yeah it does. Yeah, it just

764
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 4: it's a cool environment and it's I think I it also,

765
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 4: I would say it doesn't hurt to come off the

766
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 4: tail end of the Winter Olympics. Yep, like we were

767
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 4: already kind of in the international mindset and for us

768
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 4: here in the United States, we're wrapped in the flag

769
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 4: a little bit more than usual because of what happened

770
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 4: with the hockey team to end everything. So to go

771
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 4: from that straight into oh we've got more international competition.

772
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 4: Oh it's baseball, Like you can get down with that,

773
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 4: you really can. And of course Japan embracing the game

774
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 4: and having so many stars in their own right just

775
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 4: adds a little bit more to it. The one thing

776
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 4: that's always fun about the World Baseball Classic is when

777
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 4: you realize, oh, he's from that country. Yeah. That seems

778
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 4: to happen more often than I would like to admit.

779
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: A few times you'll see like like Ozzy Albi's is

780
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 4: out there for the Netherlands. You're like, oh, oh yeah,

781
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 4: I forgot about that. It's just it just totally throws

782
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 4: you off.

783
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: Well I think there he plays for probably from a

784
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 2: Ruba or something like that, right, But anyway, noah, you

785
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: get I get the point.

786
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 3: No, it's it's really cool.

787
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 2: I think the other thing too, like for me is

788
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 2: that it also just gets me into baseball, which coming

789
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 2: up here very quick. But to quote the great Arnie Spaniard,

Speaker 2: to the wrong I mean, I think I'll go to

805
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 2: the right airport. But am I gonna You know, my

806

Speaker 2: phone usually just changes automatically, but sometimes, you know what

807
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: if it doesn't. Got a lot on my mind, Jamarin

Speaker 2: We'll get we'll skip an hour this week this year, right,

00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: I think we do we.

811
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 3: Push forward into spring forward.

812
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you spring forward and fall back, so we.

813
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 2: Get one less hour. Bernie Fratto, which that's no good.

814
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: But other than that, uh yeah, so we lose an

815
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,279

816
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: get up early anyway to go to the airport. All right, anyway,

817
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 2: but it is midnight Eastern. Uh it is also again

818
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 2: still Saturday in the Central Mountain and Pacific time zones.

819
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 2: Let's uh, let's go ahead and talk about a busy

820
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: week in the NFL Jmark. We talked a lot of

821
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 2: college hoops to lead the show. And it's funny because

822
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: right as we're talking about this, right now, Brendan Brody

823
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: tweeted in one minute ago, it appears the Raiders have

824
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 2: finally accepted the rebuild they've needed for twenty five years.

825
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: They aren't going to be better than they weren't twenty

826
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 2: five and twenty six, even with Mendoza, because all he

827
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 2: would all we he would have around him are gent

828
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 2: Bowers and Miller.

829
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: Say, what's about that? It's about the guys in front

830
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 4: of him, Like if they don't have an offensive line,

831
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter who's back there. Like as good as

832
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 4: Mendoza could possibly be, their O line was a travesty

833
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 4: last year. That's like one of their number one or

834
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 4: maybe it is their number one issue past the QB.

835
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: Well, even let me finish the tweet. He said, we

836
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 2: have seven other holes on offense. I would assume five

837
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: of them are on the O line.

838
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 4: I would have to think, so yes, I will say this.

839
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: We'll talk Kyler Murray later, Mike Kyler Murray takes from

840
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: like seven years ago or aging. Well, I will also say, my,

841
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: why are you drafting Ashton Genty with the fourth pick

842
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 2: when you have a million problems?

843
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 4: Take?

844
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 3: I think has aged pretty well. You don't both. I

845
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: think we were both on that.

846
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 4: One's like, there's nothing against Genty, but that's not you

847
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 4: don't have the luxury to draft Ashton Genty when you

848
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 4: have all these other necessities that that you have not

849
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 4: taken care of.

850
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 2: Bingo, I will We'll save those takes for another day.

851
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: All I will say is, and I said this at

852
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: the time, is that if you're drafting a running back

853
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: in the top ten, it has to be And I

854
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: know we criticized Jerry Jones for a lot, but like

855
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 2: the Zeke Elliott was a perfect example of that year

856
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 2: was the year that they had been good.

857
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 3: Then Tony Romo gets hurt.

858
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: They randomly get a top five pick in in an

859
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 2: era when they were consistently making the playoffs. That's when

860
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 2: you take a running back number top five overall, not

861
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: when you're the freaking Raiders and you've been terrible for

862
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 2: a quarter century. So Brendan Brody's tweet takes us perfectly

863
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: to the news of Friday. Let's rip through some of

864
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 2: the news. We'll get to some of the bigger picture

865
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 2: conversations in a minute. But first of all, Max Crosby

866
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 2: is officially a Baltimore Raven you know, this on again,

867
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 2: off again thing, of course ended yesterday.

868
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: He was traded to Baltimore.

869
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: The Ravens send over a couple picks, including a couple

870
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 2: first rounders.

871
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, i'sten.

872
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 2: Everyone has heard everyone's takes here on Fox Sports Radio

873
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 2: over the last twenty four hours. But listen, I mean

874
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: it is what it is, right, two first round picks

875
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 2: for the Raiders.

876
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: They need to.

877
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: Get just a lot of talent in that building, including

878
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 2: at the quarterback position, so they will get They will

879
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: get the fourteenth pick in this year's draft and a

880
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: first round pick I believe next year, and of course

881
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: they have the number one overall pick, which we assume

882
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: will be Fernando Mendoza. Any quick thoughts on the Max

883
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 2: Crosby move and what will rip through all these but

884
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: quick thoughts on Max Crosby to the Baltimore Rams.

885
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 4: I mean, Baltimore is swinging hard. They're definitely going into

886
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 4: getting a What's amazing to me, I didn't realize Max

887
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 4: Crosby was only twenty eight. It felt like he had

888
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 4: been in the league longer. But I mean, he's still

889
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 4: He's got a lot of football left in And one

890
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 4: thing that I found amazing and I think it's just

891
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 4: your saying the right things, but Max Crosby said, I

892
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 4: feel like I'll let you all down. I saw the

893
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 4: Raiders fans and I'm like, bro, you could not possibly

894
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 4: have done more for that organization than you did. And

895
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 4: I feel like ultimately he probably knows that, but he's

896
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 4: just he's just one of those kind of competitors, which

897
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 4: speaks a lot to him. But like, there's nothing true

898
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 4: about that statement whatsoever. If there is anybody that wore

899
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 4: that uniform that has not let any Raiders fans down,

900
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 4: it is Max Crosby. Uh. He is an unbelievable player.

901
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: An unbelievable player, and yeah, no, it's one of those

902
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: things like and we saw this with Miles Garrett, and

903
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 2: I understand, like, you know, Miles Garrett's little bit different

904
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: because he just got that huge contract and obviously Max

905
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: Crosby's while taken care of. But it's like at a

906
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 2: certain point, like I think we're past j mart of Like, listen,

907
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: we're not talking like James Harden here in terms of

908
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: guys that are leaving franchises, Like, we know you left

909
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: everything on the field. And I think the other thing

910
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: that's obvious is with these football players, like your shelf

911
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 2: life is just so limited, and we're never gonna blame

912
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: you for you hit your late twenties. You might only

913
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 2: have two or three good years of your prime left.

914
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 2: And so listen, if you want to be Miles Garrett

915
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 2: and stay in Cleveland, that's fine, but no one is

916
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: ever gonna blame you for wanting to leave a team

917
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: that is obviously not okay.

918
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 4: So so I was just thinking about this in the moments,

919
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 4: Like the cool thing here is we now get to

920
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 4: watch Max Crosby play real games, like games that really matter,

921
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 4: and his talent's still gonna jump off the page the

922
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 4: same way. But he's gonna be on a team that's

923
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 4: gonna be relevant no matter what. No offense to Raiders

924
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 4: fans out there, but you know who you are and

925
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 4: you know who you're not. But Max Crosby is not

926
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 4: gonna be the next Mike Trout. Yep. And it's another

927
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 4: example like you can't hear it. It's great that Mike

928
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 4: Trout wanted to be where he was, and you make

929
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 4: whatever decision that you want to make, but man, I

930
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 4: would have liked to have seen Mike Trout in his

931
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:02,439
Speaker 4: prime play in playoff series relevancy and really been able

932
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 4: to show what he was doing. And that's just the case.

933
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 4: It's like sports are better when top flight athletes get

934
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 4: a chance to compete on the biggest stage. It's cool

935
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 4: to have an awesome player in a smaller market, but

936
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 4: it's not about the size of the market. It's about

937
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 4: the franchise and how it's run. If your franchise is

938
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 4: run like trash and has been run like trash for

939
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 4: a long time, then at that point you start to

940
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 4: feel sorry for that athlete. But eventually it's gonna be

941
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 4: up to him to make a move. And this is

942
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 4: not necessarily. I mean, this is not Crosby making this

943
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 4: choice or whatever. He wanted to try to find a way.

944
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 4: I think at least that's what he was saying. But

945
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun to watch him play for a

946
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 4: team that, at least some will probably overrate and think

947
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 4: have a chance to win a Super Bowl next year.

948
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 4: We did it last year. I don't think either one

949
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 4: of us is gonna do it this year. But I mean,

950
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 4: Max Crosby's a stud and he's gonna be great for them,

951
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 4: and Jesse mentor the defensive wizard that he is, is

952
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 4: gonna bring somebody in there that's gonna make his defense

953
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 4: have some extra teeth to it. Although, and I know

954
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 4: we can talk about it in longer form, the defense

955
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 4: was I mean, their defense wasn't good last year, but

956
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 4: the reason that they were where they were is because

957
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 4: their offense and their quarterback was not right.

958
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 2: Yes, we'll talk about them in just a minute. I

959
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 2: actually want to talk McDuffie here in half a second.

960
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 3: Do you have anything to.

961
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 2: Add on Dj Moore going to the Buffalo Bills. I mean,

962
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 2: we know, listen, star wide receiver, Josh Allen, offensive head coach.

963
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't really have much to say other than the obvious,

964
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 2: but I don't want to not give you the floor

965
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: if you have some big takes here.

966
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, DJ Moore's last moment with the Bears

967
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 4: is one that all Bears fans would like to forget.

968
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 4: The miscommunication where he just didn't make a play for

969
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 4: the football that led to that interception from Caleb into playoffs.

970
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 4: It was a bad moment. It was a flat out

971
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 4: bad moment. But if there is anybody who knows what

972
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 4: DJ Moore can be when he's really dialed in and right,

973
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 4: it's Joe Brady who coached him in Carolina. So you

974
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 4: go back and I have the stats in front of him.

975
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 4: He had two forty seven yards during the two seasons

976
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 4: that Joe Brady was his OC in Carolina. That was

977
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 4: seventh in the NFL over that span. He had seventy

978
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 4: five point eight receiving yards per game that was eleventh

979
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 4: in the league. And he had two hundred and thirty

980
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 4: overall targets, which was eighth in the league. Those are

981
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 4: I think those are, ESPN says, So Joe Brady knows

982
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 4: what he's got in Dj Moore. Now it's five years

983
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 4: down the Road. I don't know if he's the difference

984
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 4: maker or not, but he's off. I mean, he's always

985
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 4: been a very, very good player. He's somebody that you

986
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 4: like to have. If you're Josh Allen, there's no question

987
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 4: about that. You bring him in. You just hope that

988
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 4: that low moment for him at the end of the

989
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 4: Bears which an aberration, and that Brady and him are

990
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 4: gonna get along swimming lead just the way they did

991
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 4: in Carolina.

992
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 2: Let's switch gears to the one that I've referenced a

993
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 2: few times, Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams. So

994
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 2: this one, to me was the most interesting because j Mart,

995
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: you know, listen, let's call space Spade here is we're

996
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 2: in this business and we love talking sports. The only

997
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 2: thing you love more about than talking sports is you

998
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 2: love being right when you talk about sports. Now and listen,

999
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: I've said since, I actually said since before Mahomes got hurt.

1000
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 2: I said, at some point, you have to reset this thing.

1001
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 2: This being the Chiefs. They you and I had so

1002
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 2: many conversations about Takeout fifteen.

1003
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 3: They look old.

1004
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 2: I remember going back to forget the you know, you

1005
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 2: can probably go back to last year. I mean, I

1006
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 2: remember in the lead up to the Super Bowl against

1007
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 2: the Eagles last February saying, like, outside of outside of quarterback,

1008
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 2: I don't trust them at at any spot on the

1009
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 2: field against the Eagles, and then you go into Week

1010
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 2: one they lose to the Chargers in Brazil and it

1011
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 2: never gets better. So I bring it up because I've

1012
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 2: been saying, like, listen, it feels like a transition. I've

1013
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 2: said it a million times. There were two eras of

1014
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: the Tom Brady era. There was the era early on

1015
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 2: when he had Teddy Bruski and all those guys, and

1016
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 2: then the second era was Gronk and it was Randy

1017
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 2: Moss and it was whatever.

1018
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 3: And so I bring it up.

1019
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 2: Because it has felt like they have needed to kind

1020
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 2: of get to the next era because if you watch them,

1021
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 2: they just simply were not as talented as a lot

1022
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: of the best teams in this league. So I bring

1023
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 2: it up because you never want to see a player

1024
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 2: get hurt. You hope Patrick Mahomes gets back to one

1025
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: hundred percent. But I said, this is a great way

1026
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:53,919
Speaker 2: to reset, use your draft picks, get young, and ramp

1027
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,240
Speaker 2: this thing back up. Now we still listen to Mahomes

1028
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 2: still says he wants to play early next year Week one.

1029
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 2: We'll see if that happens. Kelsey hasn't officially retired yet,

1030
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 2: We'll see if that happens. But the Trent McDuffie trade,

1031
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: to me, says that while everyone is going to try

1032
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 2: to win games, I think the Chiefs are acknowledging, like,

1033
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: you know what, we need a hard reset here. We

1034
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 2: need to get young around fifteen as he goes into

1035
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 2: the back half of his career into his thirties. That's

1036
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 2: what that trade said to me. There's obviously Rams implications

1037
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 2: as well. Yes, but that was the interesting thing to

1038
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: me personally about the Trent McDuffie trade.

1039
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 4: So I saw Bill Barnwell, who I respect a lot,

1040
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 4: He mentioned that this fits with what the Rams do

1041
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 4: because they've never cared about late first round picks. So

1042
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 4: for them to move on to then pick up an

1043
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 4: all pro to beef up their defense in their secondary

1044
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 4: a little bit more makes all the sense in the

1045
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 4: world for a team that's contending. I think that what

1046
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 4: is not said in that statement is what is my takeaway,

1047
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 4: which is this reveals to me the hard reset that

1048
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 4: you just said. One hundred percent agree, But I think

1049
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 4: it also reveals that the front office of the Chiefs

1050
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 4: knows this is more than this coming season in terms

1051
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 4: of a rebuild. Sure, I do not think they are

1052
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 4: going to be a contender this season. I think that

1053
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 4: they have realized. I mean, look, they did what they

1054
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 4: had to, but eventually, like so, they're gonna look for

1055
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 4: a running back this year too. I don't know if

1056
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 4: they're gonna do it in free agency or they're gonna

1057
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 4: do something in the draft or both, but they're gonna

1058
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 4: be looking in that direction and some other directions. But eventually,

1059
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 4: you got to have more than Isaiah Pacheco. Eventually, you

1060
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 4: do have to plan for life after Travis Kelse. Eventually

1061
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 4: you have to have some dynamic guys, some leap off

1062
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 4: the page guys on both sides of the ball, and

1063
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 4: even your dynamic receivers in terms of dudes that can

1064
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 4: run the forty really fast, Like there's just nobody that

1065
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 4: scares you really on that roster the way that there

1066
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 4: once was, and as great a coach as Andy Reid

1067
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 4: is and as brilliant as Patrick Mahomes is of eventually

1068
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 4: you just got to have the horses. Like that's just

1069
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 4: the way it is, and right now the Chiefs don't,

1070
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 4: and I don't think that that fixes this year. Like

1071
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 4: I do not think they win the division this year.

1072
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 4: I don't think that they're going to compete. Now we'll see. Look,

1073
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 4: maybe they do some crazy stuff in free agency, but

1074
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 4: I just kind of sense that this is a longer

1075
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 4: term situation, a longer term plan, and so this year

1076
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 4: will be the start of that. And they've been a

1077
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 4: brilliantly run organization for a long time, so I believe

1078
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 4: in their ability to get themselves back where they need to.

1079
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 4: But I think that when you admit, okay, I think

1080
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 4: we've done all we can do here. I'm not saying

1081
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 4: they're tearing it down to the studs, but they are

1082
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 4: clearly doing more than just adding a room onto a house. Like.

1083
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 4: They have to do a lot and more renovation work here,

1084
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 4: and it's not going to be a quick process.

1085
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 3: Do you think Mahomes should play this year?

1086
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 4: I see, I think that's a fair question. I certainly

1087
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 4: do not think that you rush back if you're Patrick Mahomes,

1088
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 4: because you've still got a lot of football left in

1089
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 4: front of you. If you know, going into the season,

1090
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 4: we do not have a roster that can compete. Why

1091
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 4: are you going to do anything other than be as

1092
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 4: cautious as possible before you come back. And look, if

1093
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 4: you guys somehow find yourselves in the mix midway through

1094
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 4: the season and he's ready to come back and fully healthy,

1095
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 4: then that's fine. But here's the thing. If Patrick Mahomes

1096
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 4: wants to play because he's that kind of competitor, the

1097
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 4: more power to him. I'm certainly not saying don't, but

1098
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 4: I am saying that I would err on the side

1099
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 4: of caution because I don't think that the Chiefs are

1100
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 4: going to be I mean, if they're in the playoffs

1101
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 4: at all, I don't think that they're going to be

1102
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 4: particularly formidable. Even if Patrick Mahomes is healthy.

1103
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and he's a competitor and he's gonna want

1104
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 2: to come back, I just want I don't think you

1105
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 2: rush it. And then two, I also think, yeah, I

1106
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 2: just don't think you're By the way, this interesting fact

1107
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 2: that I've decided to look up on the spot. Brady

1108
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 2: obviously missed all but a couple plays of the two

1109
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 2: thousand and eight season that was his age thirty one season.

1110
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes will turn thirty one during the season this year.

1111
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 4: So doesn't feel like he's that old either. Like I

1112
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 4: know I said that about about Crosby, but Patrick Mahomes

1113
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 4: has been in the NFL longer than we think. Like

1114
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 4: I understand that we've perennially just seen him in the

1115
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 4: playoffs and all this, but he's actually I mean, he's

1116
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 4: been playing football in the NFL for a long time.

1117
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 4: Like he is getting older. He's getting older by the year.

1118
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 4: I know that sounds insane, but like, eventually there is

1119
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 4: going to be some kind of a drop off in

1120
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 4: his skill set. We haven't seen it yet, but I

1121
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 4: don't know that you want to put him out there

1122
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 4: to take a few more reps this year when you're

1123
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 4: not going to be competing.

1124
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to that point, yes, I would, because obviously

1125
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 2: quarterback is a position that you can play into your

1126
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 2: late thirties and maybe even your forties. Yeah, if he

1127
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 2: was a wide receiver and he wanted to come back, okay,

1128
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 2: but your quarterback, I would avoid those hits. I would

1129
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 2: not rush back, and I don't think it'll be the

1130
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 2: worst thing for him if, of course he does not

1131
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 2: come back, and if the Chiefs stink, and if they

1132
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 2: can really retool with a lot of picks and including

1133
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 2: the Trent McDuffie pick. Fox Sports Radio eritors Jason Martin,

Speaker 4: Thirty, the year.

1137
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 2: Where he turns thirty one, Lamar and Josh Allen are

1138
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 2: entering the year where they turn thirty. A lot of

1139
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: pressure on them and a lot of pressure on two

1140
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 2: new head coaches. Who has more pressure Joe Brady or

1141
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 2: Jesse Minter will discuss that next er Tords Jason Martin.

1147
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 2: and we'll do it in just a minute. But before

1148
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 2: we do, let's get it over to the news desk.

1149
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 2: Steve de Seger, what is Trendang.

1150
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 7: Mentioned last hour that the Big East has fine Connecticut

1151
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 7: men's basketball coach Dan Hurley twenty five thousand dollars for

1152
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 7: his actions late in the loss at Marquette. Today, he

1153
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 7: was not suspended. The league could not determine if there

1154
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 7: was physical contact with the ref and yes he was

1155
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 7: arguing and then not leaving the courts in a timely manner.

1156
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 7: End quote after he was kicked out. Marquette upset number

1157
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,919
Speaker 7: four Yukon sixty eight sixty two. May I point out

1158
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 7: that Saint John's is the one seed for the Big

1159
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 7: East Tournament next week.

1160
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 2: First ever back to back regular season championships for them.

1161
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 7: That is amazing, because I know they earlier this week

1162
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 7: said hey, first time in forty years, you know, since

1163
00:58:58,960 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 7: Chris Mullet.

1164
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 2: But this yeah, LONGUS win streak ever this year too,

1165
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 2: it's amazing.

1166
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 7: One seed. Saint John's with Rick Patino as coach, has

1167
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 7: its quarterfinal on Thursday. FS one Thursday Nights this next

1168
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 7: week will have a double header of quarterfinals from Madison

1169
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 7: Square Garden Yukon game first, Villanova game after that, and

1170
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 7: it could be Yukon against Marquette because the packet is out,

1171
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 7: and if Marquette wins the day before, it's a rematch

1172
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 7: in the quarterfinal on Thursday. Both FS one and Fox

1173
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 7: will have Big East Tournament games next weekend. The regular

1174
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 7: season for the men ending this weekend. There is a

1175
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 7: game of note right now with number two Arizona, after

1176
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 7: trailing by eleven in the first half, now leading at

1177
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 7: Colorado fifty one forty eight early in the second half.

1178
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,479
Speaker 7: Number ten Texas Tech was up eight at the half

1179
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 7: at BYU, but the Cougars now lead Texas Tech seventy

1180
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 7: two to sixty six about five minutes to go, and

1181
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 7: in a conference tournament semifinal in the Summit LI tonight's

1182
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 7: winner faces North Dakota State in the final. Right now,

1183
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 7: it's tied sixty apiece North Dakota against Saint Thomas of Minnesota.

1184
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 7: Tennessee State won the Ohio Valley Championship game Long Island one.

1185
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 7: To get an NCAA bid, the forty nine Ers gave

1186
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 7: kicker Eddie Pinero a four year contract where ten million

1187
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 7: dollars guaranteed. Dallas placed a restricted tender on kicker Brandon

1188
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 7: Aubrey so it can match any offer apparently worth about

1189
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 7: five point seven million dollars, or would get a second

1190
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 7: rounder if Aubrey leaves. Aubrey has been voted to the

1191
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 7: Pro Bowl in all three of his NFL seasons, and

1192
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 7: he's already made thirty five field goals of fifty yards

1193
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 7: and beyond. The Chargers resigned linebacker Khalil Mack one year

1194
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 7: eighteen million dollars. The Ravens resigned backup quarterback Tyler Huntley.

1195
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 7: Green Bay acquired linebacker Zaire Franklin from the Colts for

1196
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 7: defensive tackle Kobe Wooden, who has one year left on

1197
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 7: his rookie deal. The Colts were one of five teams

1198
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 7: still above the salary cap. The league's free agency period

1199
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 7: begins on Wednesday. Teams have to be under the cap

1200
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 7: by then, and by the way I've seen the cap

1201
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 7: space on the other end of the spectrum, I've never

1202
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,959
Speaker 7: seen a team like the Raiders have this much cap

1203
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 7: space going into the new league year this next week.

1204
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 7: It's almost one hundred and twenty five million dollars worth

1205
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 7: of cap space. I don't think they're gonna do anything

1206
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 7: with it, but and I don't know if it's unprecedented.

1207
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 7: I've never seen such a thing. By comparison, the Chiefs

1208
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 7: have our twenty five million worth of room on the

1209
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 7: salary cap. But the five teams going into the weekend

1210
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 7: that needed to do something, the Vikings they restructured tight

1211
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 7: ends deal, Colts they made a trade Lions Ravens bills

1212
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 7: as well Buffalo is re signing center Connor McGovern four

1213
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 7: years worth over thirty million dollars guaranteed. The Eagles gave

1214
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 7: defensive tackle Jordan Davis a three year extension. We're sixty

1215
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 7: five mill guaranteed, and Rams defensive back Darius Williams retired.

1216
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 7: Joey Logano are on the poll for Sunday's NASCAR race

1217
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 7: in Phoenix. Joseph Newgarden won the Indy Car event there

1218
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 7: in Phoenix. Rory McElroy today withdrew from the golf tournament

1219
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 7: in Orlando due to backspasms. They had some rain today

1220
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 7: at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. So the third round, well,

1221
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 7: it's late, third round, not yet done, but Daniel Berger's

1222
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 7: lead is down to two strokes. He was up by five.

1223
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 7: US women's soccer has posted eight straight shutouts now they

1224
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,439
Speaker 7: scored late to win one nothing in New Jersey today

1225
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 7: against Columbia. They take the annual She Believes Tournament, going

1226
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 7: three to zero. This past week they had also shut

1227
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 7: out Canada and Argentina, and a Major League Soccer Miami

1228
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 7: played in Baltimore at the Ravens Stadium with Messi in town.

1229
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 7: D C United's game was there Messi scored a goal

1230

1246
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 2: stick with the NFL mention in the last segment. Several

1247
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 2: trades of note, but the ones that are especially interesting

1248
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 2: to me are the ones that kind of signify that

1249
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 2: teams that we already knew were all in are absolutely

1250
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: all in. And I think specifically, we all know the situation.

1251
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Buffalo and Baltimore. They've been listen, we all know the deal.

1252
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 2: They've both been right on the cusp for years. You

1253
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 2: and I had so many segments during September and October

1254
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: and November, and more so Buffalo than Baltimore because they

1255
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 2: dealt with a lot of injuries.

1256
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 3: But if this isn't the year, when will it be?

1257
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't the year. Both made coaching changes, and

1258
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 2: I want to touch on this. Dj Moore traded to

1259
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. We also have Max Crosby traded to

1260
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams with new head coaches, both

1261
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 2: teams all in my question to you, who has more

1262
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 2: pressure on them as a first year head coach? Is

1263
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 2: it Jesse Minter in Baltimore or Joe Brady in Buffalo.

1264
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 4: I think it's Joe Brady, and I think that is

1265
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 4: because I don't know. I think it's a fair debate,

1266
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 4: but I think that a coach that is known for

1267
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 4: his offense on a team with Josh Allen as quarterback,

1268
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 4: it's going to be more on him. And I also

1269
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 4: think there is something to be said for the fact

1270
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 4: that Sean mcda irmitt the time that they let him

1271
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 4: go was coming off of a game and a coaching

1272
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 4: performance that really didn't seem to indicate that that game

1273
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 4: should have cost him his job cumulatively. If you looked

1274
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 4: last couple of years before that, Yeah, you could have

1275
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 4: made that argument. But I think that Joe Brady has

1276
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 4: more pressure because Josh Allen right now is the better

1277
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 4: player when you look at him and Lamar Jackson. So

1278
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 4: if you're making that argument, I think that jesse mentor

1279
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 4: also don't think jesse Mincher's name is quite as big. Yeah,

1280
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 4: I think that's part of it too. We know who

1281
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 4: Joe Brady is. He was the bell of the ball

1282
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 4: for LSU, and of course we saw some of what

1283
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 4: he was able to do with the offense in Carolina

1284
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 4: and things of that nature. So I think that his

1285
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 4: name and his star as a name adds a little

1286
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 4: bit more to it as well. Jesse Minter is not

1287
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 4: a big time name just for a regular football fan,

1288
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 4: like he's certainly well known if you're up on the

1289
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 4: NFL and certainly even if you want high end college

1290
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 4: football in the last couple of years of hardball up there.

1291
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 4: But looking at everything, I think in totality, I think

1292
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 4: that the bigger star of the two is Joe Brady,

1293
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 4: So I think that more is gonna fall on him

1294
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 4: than on Mentor, especially when you look at the quarterbacks

1295
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 4: and kind of I would say the opposite direction that

1296
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 4: they have been trending over the last season.

1297
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you this, do you think there's

1298
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 2: something too more pressure being on Joe Brady? Because well, really,

1299
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 2: I think there's two reasons and one you may have

1300
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 2: hinted at. But let's just get to it. You know,

1301
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, I know the playoff game was terrible.

1302
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 3: I get it.

1303
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 2: He was awesome for seventeen weeks during the regular season,

1304
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 2: and so inherently I think there's less pressure on Jesse

1305
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 2: Mintter because the starting point with Lamar Jackson isn't there.

1306
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 2: Lamar is coming off an injury plague season, and and

1307
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 2: I line up this that the other thing. But I

1308
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 2: was gonna ask you, do you think what Joe Brady

1309
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 2: having been in the building, you know, clearly they felt

1310
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 2: like they had to move on from you know, from

1311
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 2: from Sean McDermott. Do you think there's something too like

1312
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 2: more pressure on him just because like he's kind of

1313
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 2: just an extension of what they've already been doing where

1314
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 2: mintor whether it's fair or not, like new coach new staff.

1315
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 2: Everybody's new. I don't know. I don't I don't know

1316
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 2: if that's a relevant point or not.

1317
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 4: Right, No, I think that it is. I think that

1318
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 4: for the most part, at this point, the argument is

1319
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 4: not in Baltimore, well, who's going to actually unlock Lamar

1320
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 4: Jackson and give him a chance to win a Super Bowl?

1321
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 4: Like I think that John Harball was still seen as

1322
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 4: a coach that could do that, But whoever's in Buffalo, Like,

1323
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 4: I think the argument is always who's the coach that's

1324
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 4: gonna get Josh Allen to the super Bowl?

1325
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 3: Sure?

1326
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 4: Fair or not? I think that's the That's the way

1327
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 4: that Matt I'd live would play out, like if you

1328
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 4: were trying to finish that sentence. And then on the

1329
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 4: other side, I don't think the question is, well, what

1330
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 4: coach is going to get Lamar to the super Bowl?

1331
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 4: Because generally in the playoffs throughout his career, Lamar has

1332
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,799
Speaker 4: not been very good, and he's coming off a season

1333
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 4: where he just by his own standards, he was definitely

1334
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 4: not what he needed to be and there were even

1335
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,719
Speaker 4: some question marks about what he was doing in practice

1336
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 4: and how dialed in he was, and it was just

1337
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 4: the whole situation in Baltimore was ugly, so they needed

1338
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 4: more of a fresh start. But I think that you

1339
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 4: get more runway then if you're jesse mentor coming into

1340
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 4: that spot than somebody that And this is kind of

1341
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 4: what you were saying, somebody's coming in against a you know,

1342
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 4: MVP level player last year in Josh Allen that people

1343
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 4: were saying people on our airwaves to get paid a

1344
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 4: whole lot of money to say this said might be

1345
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,799
Speaker 4: the most talented player to ever play the quarterback position

1346
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 4: in the history of the NFL. So I think that

1347
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 4: right there, you're going to have more on you because

1348
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 4: somebody has to let you and put you in a

1349
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 4: position to do that. And I do think the front

1350
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 4: office is part of that, which is why you know,

1351
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 4: keeping being and elevating him and getting rid of McDermott

1352
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 4: is I think that was the thing that raised most

1353
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 4: of our eyebrows. It wasn't just that you got rid

1354
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 4: of McDermott, it's that you promoted the guy that put

1355
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 4: the team together, which I don't know that that was

1356
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 4: a particularly well done job of the last handful of years.

1357
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 3: No, I agree with that one hundred percent.

1358
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 2: And yeah, I just do think it's a broader, interesting

1359
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 2: conversation about who the pressure's on, where the pressure is,

1360
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 2: and I do think with Baltimore there is more pressure

1361
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,759
Speaker 2: on the quarterback himself. By the way, total hard pivot

1362
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 2: really quickly. We do have a very interesting game in

1363
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 2: the Summit semi finals. I know, probably not a needle

1364
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 2: movie for most of the national people here, but winner

1365
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 2: plays for the conference championship game in an automatic bit

1366
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,440
Speaker 2: it is tied with twenty two seconds.

1367
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:04,799
Speaker 3: I'll keep you updated.

1368
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,759
Speaker 2: We'll keep you updated between North Dakota and Saint Thomas

1369
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 2: of Minnesota. The winner gets North Dakota State tomorrow night.

1370
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 2: Back to the NFL. Yeah, I I you know, I

1371
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 2: don't know that there's a ton else to add. I mean,

1372
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 2: ask Mary, where's the music go? We're still talking NFL.

1373
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 4: Well he did. It was funny because it came just

1374
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 4: as you said, I don't know if there's a ton

1375
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 4: else to add, and then the music space.

1376
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mary, guess we're going to break No.

1377
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, I do think it is

1378
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 2: an interesting thing about and this is the point that

1379
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 2: you made to me off air, but that basically it

1380
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:44,759
Speaker 2: feels like the pressure is more on the coach in Baltimore. Yes,

1381
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 2: the pressure is more on the quarterback Buffalo.

1382
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 4: Flip way, Yeah, yeah, it's more. The pressure is more

1383
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 4: on the coach in Buffalo and the quarterback in Baltimore.

1384
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 3: Yes. By the way, now now I am going to

1385
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 3: do the hard pivot.

1386
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 2: You know who the pressure is on, sort of some

1387
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,759
Speaker 2: dude from North Dakota who just got fouled with point

1388
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 2: one seconds left. So Saint Thomas of Minnesota had the ball,

1389
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 2: turned it over with eleven seconds left, they had the

1390
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 2: ball fast break. North Dakota gets fouled and it was

1391
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 2: a foul. By the way, it wasn't one of those like,

1392
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 2: oh my god, we're gonna have a controversy over the

1393
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 2: file calls. But with point one seconds left, North Dakota

1394
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 2: is going to head to the file line with a

1395
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 2: chance to head to their conference championship game. But yes,

1396
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 2: to your point, to the point of this segment, I

1397
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 2: think there's more pressure on the quarterback in Baltimore with

1398
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, more pressure on the coach in Buffalo. But

1399
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 2: I will say there is clearly it goes without saying

1400
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:54,759
Speaker 2: plenty of pressure on Josh Allen as well. Fox Sports

1405
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 2: A faul than I thought, but we'll get you the

1406
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 2: conclusion of this North Dakota Saint Thomas game, although we

1407
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: can probably just do it right now because North Dakota

1408
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 2: is at the fall line. He made the first one

1409
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 2: and it looks like we have an all North Dakota

1410
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 2: final in the Summit League zero point one seconds left.

1411
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:29,880

Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody, Fox Sports Radio er towards Jason Martin.

1419
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live. I've from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

1420
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 2: North Dakota State does hold on for a win. It's

1421
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,640
Speaker 2: like a little bit of a serious injury in the

1422
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 2: BYU Texas Tech game kadem boop Hope. He's okay, real

1423
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 2: quick to say before we get to you, I just

1424
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 2: want to share one thing I just saw on social

1425
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 2: media because obviously not a topic that we've talked about

1426
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 2: college basketball related today, but there is this continue talk

1427
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 2: about expanding the NCAA tournament. We did talk a little

1428
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 2: bit about Miami Ohio versus Auburn. Are you did you

1429
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 2: see the stat that I'm going to reference, because no.

1430
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 7: But I think the whole Auburn Miami Ohio discussion is

1431
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,480
Speaker 7: just completely rihiculous.

1432
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 3: All right, so we thank you.

1433
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 2: What I'll say is this so Jeff Borzella, who works

1434
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 2: for ESPN. He said of ESPN Joe Lonardi's last seven

1435
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 2: at large teams and first five teams out of the

1436
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 2: field nine were in action today Missouri, Texas, SMU, Indiana,

1437
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 2: New Mexico, Auburn, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati col They went ohen

1438
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 2: oh my, so frikes for the expansionists. And by the way,

1439
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 2: Miami Ohio obviously one didn't play today, but they don't

1440
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 2: fall in that because right now they're in as the

1441
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 2: automatic qualifier.

1442
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 7: So nobody wants slot sixty eight at the moment.

1443
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 2: Yes eventually, and the notion that we should house somehow,

1444
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 2: we should somehow be leaving out thirty one to Ohero

1445
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 2: teams for that, for that not good Disaga.

1446
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 3: The floor is yours, my friend.

1447
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,680
Speaker 7: Arizona's back in the lead, second ranked, but they're only

1448
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 7: leading sixty six to sixty four at Colorado with nine

1449
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 7: minutes to go, and Byu has come back to take

1450
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 7: the lead with under thirty seconds left against tenth ranked

1451
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 7: Texas techs seventy eight seventy six. We do have more

1452
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 7: college hoops to discuss. There is a game in the

1453
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 7: World Baseball Classic going on right now. They've just started

1454
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 7: extra innings with South Korea tied four to four with

1455
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:56,679
Speaker 7: Taiwan on FS two. South Korea gave up the league,

1456
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 7: giving up two in the top of the eighth, got

1457
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 7: the tying run in the bottom of the eighth when

1458
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 7: Dodger second basement Has Song Kim walked and wound up

1459
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 7: scoring on a double. Kim played against Japan early this

1460
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 7: morning our time in Tokyo and at the Tokyo Dome.

1461
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,560
Speaker 7: That was another forty two thousand rowdy fans there, including

1462
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 7: a surprising amount of Korean fans by the way, but

1463
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 7: Japan won again eight six Seya Suzukia. The Cubs hit

1464
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,759
Speaker 7: two homers, the Dodger Shoheo Tani two hits, two walks,

1465
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 7: including a solo homer, three run scored, and Boston's Masatake

1466
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 7: Yoshida had a homer and three RBIs today. Kim, the

1467
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 7: Korean second baseman the Dodger, had a two run homer

1468
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 7: today in the fourth, but he struck out three times,

1469
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 7: including with bases loaded to in the top of the

1470
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 7: eighth against Japan. And we did talk World Baseball Classic earlier.

1471
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 7: We'll get to the US in a moment, but there's

1472
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 7: just a stunning thing with Luis araaz Is, a guy

1473
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 7: who's with the Padres last year Giants now. A very

1474
01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 7: good hitter, to say the least career batting average three seven.

1475
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:04,759
Speaker 7: Recently in his career with three different major league teams,

1476
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,799
Speaker 7: he won a batting title three years in a row.

1477
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 7: He is not at all a power hitter. The most

1478
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 7: home runs he's ever hit in a major league season

1479
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,639
Speaker 7: is ten. Good hitter, not at all good power hitter,

1480
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 7: and yet two home runs for Venezuela tonight in their

1481
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 7: win against Israel eleven three. Jason, this is another one

1482
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,520
Speaker 7: of those major league players. Oh, he's from Venezuela.

1483
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 4: Ye.

1484
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 7: Turns out he had a multi homer game at the

1485
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 7: last World Baseball Classic. Also this little infielder three years ago.

1486
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 7: Both of those tournament games occurred in Miami, and the

1487
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 7: great Baseball researcher Sarah Langs points out, in his entire

1488
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 7: major and minor league career, he only has one multi

1489
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 7: homer game, two with his national team, one as a professional,

1490
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 7: and it turns out all three of those events took

1491
01:16:56,280 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 7: place in the same stadium in Miami. The Netherlands won

1492
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 7: on a three run homer in the bottom of the

1493
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 7: ninth by Ozzi Alby's of the Atlanta Braves, four to three.

1494
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 7: Against Nicaragua. He had all four RBIs, including being hit

1495
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 7: by pitch with bases loaded in the third. Nicarago fourteen

1496
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 7: men left on base. Attendance twenty nine thousand in Houston

1497
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 7: today for Italy shutting out Brazil eight nothing. Brazil had

1498
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 7: lost its opener to the Americans last night, fifteen to five.

1499
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 7: If you didn't see it, let's just say they ran

1500
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 7: out of pitching. Brazil's staff wound up walking seventeen. Aaron

1501
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 7: Judge last night hit a first inning homer. The Giant's

1502
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 7: best pitcher, Logan Webb, got the win on Friday, four

1503
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 7: innings of work. Pirates pitcher Paul Skens goes for the

1504
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 7: US against Mexico Monday night on Fox TV. Tuesday's game

1505
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 7: is US against Italy and we assume a quarterfinal for

1506
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 7: the Americans next weekend. Tonight in Houston, team USA was

1507
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 7: trailing Great Britain won nothing in the fifth. Trace Thompson,

1508
01:17:55,960 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 7: yes brother of Clay Thompson, an incredible catch over the

1509
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 7: right field wall to rob Will Smith of a home

1510
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 7: run and keep it a shutout. Halfway through the game,

1511
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 7: Trek Scouoble, the Detroit Superstar pitcher in his one start

1512
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 7: for the US in this tournament, allowed a home run

1513
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 7: on the first pitch of the night. The rest of

1514
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 7: the evening, though, Great Britain went two for twenty eight

1515
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 7: at the plate with seventeen strikeouts and no walks, and Schooble,

1516
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,560
Speaker 7: to say the least, settled down three innings, five strikeouts,

1517
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 7: no walks. The win to Clay Holmes, who came on

1518
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 7: after him three innings, scoreless, six strikeouts, nine to one.

1519
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 7: US beats Great Britain Kyle Schwarber a two run homer.

1523
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 7: Hyung Jin, were you the former Dodger would do to

1524
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 7: pitch this game that South Korea's got going right now

1525
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 7: Against Taiwan, Reu went three innings with three strikeouts and

1563
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle follows us, and it has been a busy

1564
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 2: two hours here. We've talked a lot of college hoops,

1565
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 2: we talked a busy weekend.

1566
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

1567
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 2: Want to switch gears and get to an interesting development

1568
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Now, I'm gonna let Brandon Deutsch set

1569
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 2: this sound up here in half a second because he

1570
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 2: sent it along Russell Westbrook with the Sacramento Kings. He

1571
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 2: is obviously at the tail end of his career. I

1572
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 2: assume was brought to Sacramento to kind of help develop

1573
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 2: some of these young guys. Was not happy with some

1574
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 2: stuff in the media, and so rather than me setting

1575
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 2: up this sound, Brandon Brandon Deutsch producer.

1576
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:40,879
Speaker 3: Brandon follows the NBA.

1577
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 2: Way closer than I do, and I don't want to

1578
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 2: speak for j mart but I think so as well

1579
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:46,879
Speaker 2: give us a little context as to what we're about.

1580
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 3: To listen to.

1581
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 8: So the Kings had a historic losing streak. You probably

1582
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 8: you guys probably know about that. They've they're the worst

1583
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 8: team in the NBA this year, and there were some

1584
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 8: critical writing pieces from journalists that cover the team. Beat

1585
01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 8: reporters right, the team's the worst in the NBA, probably

1586
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 8: the worst team they've ever covered. And Russell Westbrook was

1587
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 8: very sick and tired of hearing the I guess the

1588
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 8: about his younger teammates because he is a leader. They

1589
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 8: said some words about young guys getting second chances and stuff,

1590
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 8: and he was jaying at the reporters in something you

1591
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 8: rarely ever see. So Mary, we can play that one.

1592
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 4: I'll always be talking.

1593
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 5: Oh it's very interesting, nobody.

1594
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 4: I don't.

1595
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 5: No, you guys have a lot of opinions about how

1596
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 5: we do what we're doing. What you got, Yeah, you

1597
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 5: make a lot of statements and broad statements that you

1598
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 5: have no contexts. So what do you get your context from?

1599
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 5: Are you in practice anywhere around the building? No, I

1600
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 5: haven't seen that practice. So the false context of and

1601
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 5: actually do you know me? No, you don't know me.

1602
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 5: You don't know me. You don't know me, but you

1603
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 5: make a lot of comments as though you do know me.

1604
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 2: That was Russell Westbrook after the game. And this was

1605
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 2: actually J Martin. I know you saw it because Brandon

1606
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 2: sent it to both of us. It was about a

1607
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 2: five minute clip. Now, I don't know if you have

1608
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 2: anything to really add about this itself, but what I

1609
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 2: will say is this, you and I have spent a

1610
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 2: lot of time kind of talking about really this year.

1611
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,640
Speaker 2: It just feels like the lebron era kind of just

1612
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 2: needs to be over. Like we lived it. It was

1613
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 2: awesome in the mid twenty tens, but it's like.

1614
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 4: It been there, done that got ta Yeah.

1615
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 2: Exactly, And I will say the same Russell Westbrook will

1616
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 2: be thirty eight in November, and listen, it was unbelievable.

1617
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:46,759
Speaker 3: We had the Okac years.

1618
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 2: You know, I thought he came out of the Durant

1619
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 2: thing looking good, wins the MVP with the triple double.

1620
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:59,879
Speaker 2: I'm kind of over Russell Westbrook. And before we even

1621
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 2: talk Westbrook, what we thought we would do, yeah, is

1622
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 2: give you our mount rushmore of old NBA dudes that

1623
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 2: we are just so ready to get out of the league.

1624
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:17,839
Speaker 2: Right they had their moment in the sun. They're still here.

1625
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 2: As J mart just said, We've been there, done that,

1626
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 2: got the T shirt, got the phone fit. It's time

1627
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 2: to go, and so we'll get to our Mount Rushmore

1628
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 2: in a second. Before we get to it, Jmart, do

1629
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 2: you have anything specific about Westbrook or should we just

1630
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:34,759
Speaker 2: jump right into the Mount Rushmore?

1631
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 4: No, I mean your sentiment is right. It's just like, yes,

1632
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:44,840
Speaker 4: there have been some tough articles written by the Sacramento

1633
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 4: media about an absolutely embarrassing basketball team. What exactly are

1634
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 4: they supposed to do? Just not write anything because they're

1635
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 4: certainly not going to write anything pleasant. I mean the

1636
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 4: team is all time bad. Like what, that's the problem.

1637
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 4: It's don't get thin skinned because they have to write

1638
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 4: the truth, like that's their job. Even if Russell Westbrook

1639
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 4: has been playing well, what exactly are you accomplishing in

1640
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,600
Speaker 4: that moment. I'm not saying that he has. I'm just

1641
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 4: saying that just belies like he's been Cantacris this whole career. Dude,

1642
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 4: I'm in an Oklahoma City Thunder fan. I'll be the

1643
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 4: first to tell you it's just the way it is.

1644
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:23,679
Speaker 4: That's how he's wired. And that's one of the reasons

1645
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 4: why he was so great for so long is because

1646
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 4: he played with almost five chips on his shoulders, it

1647
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 4: seemed like, but at times he could be his own

1648
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 4: worst enemy. And here, it's like when you are at

1649
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 4: this stage of your career and this is the decision

1650
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 4: that you have made. You're playing in Sacramento, and now

1651
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 4: you're gonna start talking like no, like at this point,

1652
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,360
Speaker 4: no one wants to hear anything that you have to say,

1653
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 4: Like now it's time just to shut up. Now it's

1654
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,400
Speaker 4: time to either just play basketball because you enjoy it,

1655
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 4: or want to make a little bit more money before

1656
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 4: you leave, or just go ahead and recede into the

1657
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 4: rest of your life. You've got enough money to go

1658
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 4: do whatever it is that you want to do. But

1659
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 4: this ain't it.

1660
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,600
Speaker 2: Chief well, and I will say this as well, is

1661
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 2: that there was a part of it that we didn't hear. Again,

1662
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:09,759
Speaker 2: it was a five minute piece of sound, so Brandon,

1663
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 2: thank you for cutting that into a manageable forty seconds.

1664
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 2: That definitely packed the punch of what we were looking for.

1665
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 3: But there was a moment.

1666
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 2: In it where he said something about you know you

1667
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 2: are you in our film session?

1668
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 3: Are you in our building?

1669
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,759
Speaker 2: And it's like, dude, first of all, obviously no media

1670
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 2: member is, and two, here is the other thing is

1671
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 2: that the media has never been given less than they

1672
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 2: are now. And this isn't gonna be like an old

1673
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 2: school big Jay.

1674
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:41,600
Speaker 3: I missed the days when they were flying on the

1675
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,799
Speaker 3: plane with the team and smoking cigarettes in the hotel lobby.

1676
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 4: But like.

1677
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 3: We all work in the media, you can't.

1678
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 2: You've never been able to get less from these athletes

1679
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,919
Speaker 2: than you do now. And listen, I understand the world changes,

1680
01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 2: athletes have more ways to get their message out than ever.

1681
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 2: But that was kind of just a silly thing to

1682
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 2: say as well. So anyway, we're beating around the bush. Yeah,

1683
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 2: let's get to our Mount Rushmore of old dudes that

1684
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 2: just need to go. I'll go first, j Mart he

1685
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 2: is the George Washington of this Mount Rushmore exactly. Well,

1686
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 2: by the way, yes it.

1687
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 3: Is the chosen one.

1688
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 2: I'm slapping dust in the air here was I hope

1689
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 2: he disappears into a cloud of chalk dust here very soon.

1690
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 3: It's Lebron James.

1691
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 2: Listen, you tolerated him because he got you to the

1692
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 2: finals in his prime every single year.

1693
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 3: But all this crap. The Lakers thing has largely been

1694
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 3: a dud. I know they won the.

1695
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:50,639
Speaker 2: Bubble Championship, but hand picking the coach, making them draft

1696
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:53,639
Speaker 2: your son, and I just go back to j Mart

1697
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 2: a topic that I vividly remember us discussing last summer,

1698
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:03,280
Speaker 2: which was signs the fifty four million dollar extension, and

1699
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 2: within minutes Rich Paul makes the statement of yeah, we

1700
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:10,719
Speaker 2: really hope that they can build a championship team around Lebron.

1701
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,639
Speaker 2: You don't get to sign the fifty four million dollar

1702
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 2: extension as a soon to be forty one year old

1703
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 2: and then complain about the roster around you. It's not

1704
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen anymore, Lebron. It's time to go. He is

1705
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:29,760
Speaker 2: the George Washington put him on the mount rushmore of

1706
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 2: old guys that just need to be out of the

1707
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 2: NBA at this point.

1708
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 4: So I don't know which one I would say this

1709
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 4: gentleman is. I'll say Jefferson just for the sake of argument.

1710
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 4: It's time for Jmond Green to get out the lead.

1711
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's time for Jmond Green to honestly, don't

1712
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 4: care what he goes and does. He's gonna keep doing

1713
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 4: his podcast. He's probably gonna end up with a job

1714
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 4: of the Turner guys or whatever. I've had enough. They're

1715
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 4: not winning championships in Golden State anymore. He hasn't been,

1716
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,640
Speaker 4: in my opinion, an asset to Steph Curry in the

1717
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,600
Speaker 4: last three or four years. He's still annoying on the

1718
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 4: floor with his antics, but he's also not backing it

1719
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 4: up and helping you out on the score sheet the

1720
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 4: same way that he used to. And I don't mean

1721
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 4: as an offensive player, he's never really been that, but

1722
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 4: just generally speaking, his negatives outweighs pros and he has

1723
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 4: one of the biggest mouths in the league for no

1724
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 4: apparent reason now. And the thing that's always bothered me

1725
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 4: about Draymond Green is that if Draymond Green had been

1726
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 4: drafted by the Orlando Magic originally, he never would have

1727
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 4: had a platform to speak, He never would have had

1728
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 4: a championship to lean on, he never would have even

1729
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,920
Speaker 4: been talked about for the Hall of Fame. And he

1730
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 4: will get in now, there is no question in my mind.

1731
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 4: But he's gonna get in because of what was around

1732
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 4: him more than anything else. Because despite how talented he

1733
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 4: could be as a defender, as a rebounder, as a

1734
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 4: physical force, all of those kinds of things, none of

1735
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:59,639
Speaker 4: that would have mattered if they didn't have the Splash

1736
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,799
Speaker 4: Brothers out there, if they didn't have Andreyagoidala out there,

1737
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 4: if they didn't have those guys coming off the bench

1738
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 4: like Sean Livingston making big time shots. Draymond Green is

1739
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 4: one of the most fortunate players I have ever seen

1740
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 4: in the National Basketball Association. He's going to carry that

1741
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 4: to the Hall of Fame. And he still can't shut

1742
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:17,719
Speaker 4: his mouth.

1743
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 2: Draymond Green thirty six years old. He'll actually he just

1744
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 2: turned thirty six, averaging a robust eight points and five

1745
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 2: rebounds per game. This season's good stuff.

1746
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 4: Man.

1747
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors did fall on Saturday nights to the

1748
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:35,680
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder. All right, So you called Draymond the

1749
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:39,720
Speaker 2: Thomas Jefferson of our Mount Rushmore For people just joining us,

1750
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 2: we use some Westbrooks sound to talk about our Mount

1751
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 2: Rushmore of old guys that just needs to need to

1752
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 2: leave the NBA. So I googled Mount Rushmore.

1753
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need to make sure, yes.

1754
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,040
Speaker 3: According to NPS dot Gov.

1755
01:30:56,200 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 2: Theodore Roosevelt born in eighteen fifty eight died in nineteen nineteen.

1756
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 2: Roosevelt provided leadership when America experienced extreme growth as it

1757
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 2: entered the twentieth century.

1758
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:09,599
Speaker 4: You know who you're going.

1759
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 2: You know who never provided leadership ever?

1760
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 3: The beard? Ye, James Harden. I am so over this guy.

1761
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 1: He is.

1762
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm surprised.

1763
01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 4: You didn't make him Lincoln because of the beard.

1764
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 3: That's true.

1765
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 2: I probably should have thought it out more, but I

1766
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: saw Jefferson or Theodore Roosevelt was known for his leadership,

1767
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:35,799
Speaker 2: and I just felt like it was the perfect segue

1768
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 2: to just dog James Harden.

1769
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 3: Listen, he won an MVP. He was a great scorer

1770
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 3: in his prime.

1771
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 2: He has never, at any moment in his time, contributed

1772
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 2: to the highest level of winning. I know they've won

1773
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 2: a lot of regular season games when he was in

1774
01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:01,679
Speaker 2: Houston and Philadelphia. I don't want to call him a loser,

1775
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:05,640
Speaker 2: because by definition he isn't, but he's kind of a

1776
01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:09,760
Speaker 2: loser everywhere he goes. He never gets along with anybody.

1777
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 2: Couldn't get along with Katie in Brooklyn. You know, he

1778
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 2: had the situation in Houston where remember remember during COVID

1779
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:21,680
Speaker 2: when there were strict rules and he was trying to

1780
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 2: get traded, so he was breaking the COVID guidelines to

1781
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:29,600
Speaker 2: get traded out of Houston. Goes to Brooklyn, is unhappy.

1782
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:33,679
Speaker 2: There goes to Philadelphia, calls Darryl Morey the worst human

1783
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:36,680
Speaker 2: being in the world or whatever. Then he always so

1784
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 2: happy in Los Angeles, it's his hometown. Clippers are red hot,

1785
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 2: playing better than anybody. In twenty twenty six, demands a

1786
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 2: trade to Cleveland. Get this guy out of And by

1787
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:51,720
Speaker 2: the way, how many Game sevens have you and I

1788
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 2: been out?

1789
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:52,759
Speaker 3: I listen?

1790
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Arnie Spanner and I were on air for the

1791
01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:58,679
Speaker 2: famous Game seven where he went like two for twenty two.

1792
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:01,840
Speaker 2: You and I were on for the Game seven last

1793
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 2: year where I think he went two for thirteen through

1794
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 2: Doc rivers under the bus one year when he went

1795
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:08,559
Speaker 2: two for whatever.

1796
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 3: Get him on, get him out of the league. I'm

1797
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 3: just I'm done with this guy. I'm just done with him.

1798
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:13,800
Speaker 3: I'm just done with him.

1799
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 4: What do you want me to say?

1800
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sorry. I just read it for like

1801
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 3: eight minutes. I just he annoys me.

1802
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 4: So I'm torn. I've got a thirty five year old

1803
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 4: and I've got a twenty six year old for.

1804
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 3: Your last spot. Yes, wow, twenty six year old. Oh,

1805
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:34,360
Speaker 3: I guess you know who I'm talking about.

1806
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's probably two guesses, but I don't know that

1807
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 4: they're the same age. Saying that sad because like you

1808
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 4: usually would go with the elder statesman here, but I'm

1809
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 4: gonna go with John Morant. Okay, he's twenty six, his

1810
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 4: skills have diminished, that he's gotten no better at anything,

1811
01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:58,320
Speaker 4: and he's become cancerous.

1812
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 3: I hope you don't have your address. He might actually

1813
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 3: just show up to your house tonight.

1814
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 4: Look, man, I was a huge fan of him coming

1815
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:07,400
Speaker 4: out of college. I said he would have a better

1816
01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 4: pro career than Zion, who also could have gone with here,

1817
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:14,280
Speaker 4: by the way, But just everything that he's done has

1818
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 4: submarined him, and like whatever cham takes a chance on him.

1819
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 4: Do we feel like the maturity's there? Do we feel

1820
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 4: like he's finally going to grow up? Do we feel

1821
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,599
Speaker 4: like he's got the right people around him that are

1822
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,320
Speaker 4: not just yes men that are enabling bad behavior or

1823
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 4: even bad attitude, and just trying to truly help him

1824
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:34,599
Speaker 4: and love on him in the right way. I can't

1825
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 4: say that I believe in that, So I'm going to

1826
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 4: let him eke out a spot here just in that

1827
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 4: I feel like for the betterment of his own life,

1828
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 4: he might need to get out of the league.

1829
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:47,519
Speaker 2: So, first of all, when he said twenty six, I

1830
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 2: did think you were gonna go with my birthday buddy,

1831
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 2: Zion Williamson yep, who has the same birthdate as me,

1832
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 2: many years apart. He also made his summer league debut

1833
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,040
Speaker 2: where he got his first NBA injury on the night

1834
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,120
Speaker 2: of my wedding, so that that's a fun memory that

1835
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 2: I have of his debut and my wedding. But yeah,

1836
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 2: I'm glad you didn't go with Zion because I wasn't

1837
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 2: ready for that. I will say this, I will put

1838
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 2: Westbrook as my fourth guy.

1839
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 4: And I forgot because we already talked about it. I

1840
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:17,759
Speaker 4: didn't realize that he wasn't actually on the list.

1841
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 3: Well, he probably was.

1842
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,640
Speaker 2: You can you can put job Morant back in the

1843
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 2: league again, for your own safety.

1844
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 3: I think it might be good that you just do that.

1845
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 4: But actually, you know what, I'll remove him and go

1846
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 4: with the other guy that I was gonna go with,

1847
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:32,559
Speaker 4: and it still wasn't Westbrook, and this would make it

1848
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:36,759
Speaker 4: more of an age thing. Sure, Paul George. Paul George

1849
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 4: is a role player right now, But Paul George wants

1850
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:42,599
Speaker 4: to be a podcaster. Yes, even at this stage, it's

1851
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 4: a horrible contract that he that that they've got him

1852
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 4: with in Philadelphia. And by the way, what's a uh,

1853
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 4: what's a trend here? Harden, Paul George, Russell Westbrook. That's

1854
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,599
Speaker 4: three of them, at least I can't remember. Now he's

1855
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 4: a fourth. Oh yeah, it was uh Draymond my guy.

1856
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 4: What's the common thread between the other three guys? Outside

1857
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:09,240
Speaker 4: of Draymond?

1858
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 2: They were both Clippers, they were both mem they were

1859
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 2: all they were members of the Thunder at some point

1860
01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 2: they were all Thunder players to that's where I thought

1861
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 2: you were going to then Oh my goodness, No, I

1862
01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 2: was thinking about the Clippers.

1863
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will tell you, yes, you're right. I'll be quick.

1864
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:26,599
Speaker 2: So I will put Westbrook as my fourth guy, even

1865
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 2: though he was really the first guy. Listen, we loved

1866
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 2: the passion, but the passion now just is like anger.

1867
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this.

1868
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 2: It's not a perfect analogy because like his team is

1869
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 2: playing pretty well now. But ironically, because Russell Westbrook went

1870
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 2: to UCLA, it's almost like the Mick Cronin of like

1871
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 2: the the Angry Press conferences are kind of fun when

1872
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 2: you're like twenty eight and five and you're a one seed.

1873
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:58,600
Speaker 2: When you're on the bubble and getting your brains beat in,

1874
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 2: it's not cute to go to press conferences and be

1875
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:04,720
Speaker 2: like whining about everything. And that was where we got

1876
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 2: with Mick Cronin for a while a get into his

1877
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,599
Speaker 2: team's credit. They're actually playing pretty well down the stretch.

1878
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 2: But it's the same with Westbrook, Like it's cute to

1879
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:16,080
Speaker 2: barkt the media and do whatever when you're averaging a

1880
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:17,840
Speaker 2: triple double and you can say what you want. But

1881
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 2: now you're just kind of the old guy. Your team stinks, Westbrook.

1882
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:25,519
Speaker 2: We appreciate everything that you did for us once upon

1883
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:26,640
Speaker 2: a time, but it's time to go.

1884
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 3: So a lot of old guys need to get out

1885
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 3: of the league.

1886
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,479
Speaker 2: My Mount Rushmore of old guys that just need to

1887
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 2: be gone. Lebron, James Hard, Draymond and Russell Westbrook.

1888
01:37:40,560 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 4: Has Ben Simons still in the league.

1889
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:45,839
Speaker 3: He's not. Isn't he trying to get into like professional fishing?

1890
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 3: I saw, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thing. Oh, it's

1891
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:49,599
Speaker 3: a thing.

1892
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:50,519
Speaker 4: Good for him.

1893
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 2: So if we do our professional fishing mount Rushmore of

1894
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 2: guys that annoy us.

1895
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 3: I think Ben Simmons is.

1896
01:37:56,479 --> 01:38:00,240
Speaker 4: Gonn You know what's stunning. Kyrie Irving because of how

1897
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:02,760
Speaker 4: he played in Dallas has played himself right off the

1898
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 4: Mount Rushmore.

1899
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that as we were discussing, like,

1900
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 2: I think Anthony Davis is honorable mention, but I don't

1901
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 2: really have the anger for him because he just keeps

1902
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:15,759
Speaker 2: getting hurt tray.

1903
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 4: He doesn't say or do anything annoying. He's just not reliable.

1904
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 2: Yes, remember when it was like a semi controversy that

1905
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley called him street clothes and like people got

1906
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:28,719
Speaker 2: mad for like a day and then it was like.

1907
01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's kind of the truth.

1908
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:32,360
Speaker 4: Yes, all right.

1909
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Eric Toords Jason Martin broadcasting live from

1910
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios. That was a fun little

1911
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 2: segment we had, was all right, well come back, we

1912
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 2: just talked about washed up old NBA players there.

1913
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:48,200
Speaker 4: Dwight too, you know.

1914
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 3: Embiid was one that I was thinking about.

1915
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:54,880
Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, well, I mean Embiide is not at least

1916
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 4: Embiid's not a thousand years old. But Dwight Howard is

1917
01:38:59,400 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 4: still in the lead.

1918
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 3: Right, No, No, he's not.

1919
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 4: He's not. I thought I saw him on the sidelines

1920
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 4: of something else. They're like, here's blah blah blah player

1921
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 4: Dwight Howard. And I thought that, and I thought he

1922
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 4: was out of the league. I hope he is out

1923
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:16,759
Speaker 4: of the league. He should be out of the league,

1924
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:20,280
Speaker 4: all right. They're calling him former NBA legend now in articles.

1925
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying, so, okay, I don't know how to say

1926
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 2: it delicately, but he had a very unfortunate unique Yeah,

1927
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:30,479
Speaker 2: sexual assault allegation.

1928
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:32,639
Speaker 4: That yeah, kind of derailed everything.

1929
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 2: Do you really you know, I don't know that you're

1930
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 2: rushing to bring that guy back into the locker room

1931
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 2: in a situation like that. So Dwight Howard out of

1932
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 2: the league. But yeah, that is our mount Rushmore.

1933
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:47,839
Speaker 4: And I used to be known for talking about people

1934
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,719
Speaker 4: and not realize and saying they were dead when they weren't.

1935
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 4: You were, I was just accident. I did it like

1936
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 4: three four times. It would just be somebody I was

1937
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 4: sure was dead that was not sure, and it turned

1938
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 4: into a thing. So now I'm going in the opposite direction.

1939
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 4: Now I'm basically keeping people in the NBA that are

1940
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 4: already out of it and saying this person should be

1941
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:08,560
Speaker 4: out of the NBA. And it's like, oh yeah, no,

1942
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:11,439
Speaker 4: time actually beat me to it. It actually happened already.

1943
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 3: Well, there you go.

1944
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 2: He's no longer eligible for the Mount Rushmore because he

1945
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 2: stinks and just doesn't play in the NBA. So Fox

Speaker 7: and come back to win the game. One of those

2042

Speaker 2: if you missed an hour or two.

2054
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 3: We talked a little bit about the Max Crosby trade.

2055
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about the UH, talked a

2056
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 2: little bit about the h DJ Moore trade, and of

2057
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:39,040
Speaker 2: course Trent mcduffee becoming a Los Angeles Ram very quickly.

2058
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 2: One guy who is looking for a home right now.

2059
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:49,360
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray no longer a member of the Arizona Cardinals.

2060
01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:53,599
Speaker 3: He is a free agent. He was released, a lot

2061
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:56,200
Speaker 3: of injuries. All of that. I bring it up.

2062
01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 2: Albert Breer is reporting that there is interest from the

2063
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 2: Colts and the Vikings. But I really thought about it

2064
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:06,679
Speaker 2: this week, and you know, I saw some stuff where

2065
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 2: basically the Oakland Athletics or whatever they are now, the

2066
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:16,080
Speaker 2: Sacramento Athletics, Vegas Athletics, whatever, said that, you know, Kyler

2067
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:18,960
Speaker 2: Murray's always welcome to come back to baseball. Of course,

2068
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:21,600
Speaker 2: they drafted him in the first round out of Oklahoma.

2069
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:25,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what Kyler Murray wants to do with

2070
01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 2: the rest of his career, and I certainly think he

2071
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 2: will be playing in the NFL in twenty twenty six.

2072
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:34,840
Speaker 3: I really think there's a world where if he's so.

2073
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 2: Inclined and if he's interested a year from now, we're

2074
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:42,679
Speaker 2: not talking about a potential NFL team, but potentially could

2075
01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:44,559
Speaker 2: he be in spring training at this time next year.

2076
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:46,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it's crazy now. I don't think it's

2077
01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:50,800
Speaker 2: like eighty twenty that he's playing baseball next year. But

2078
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:53,040
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a zero percent chance that this

2079
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 2: time next year, Kyler Murray is out of the NFL

2080
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 2: giving baseball shot.

2081
01:47:57,720 --> 01:48:00,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's a really interesting take. I

2082
01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 4: hadn't even really thought of it until you mentioned it

2083
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 4: earlier when we were chatting, And there's definitely some logic

2084
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:10,120
Speaker 4: behind it. The only thing that I would say, not

2085
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:13,000
Speaker 4: to refute it, but just to kind of like scratch

2086
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:14,759
Speaker 4: my head and say, I don't know how that would

2087
01:48:14,760 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 4: work out is the thing that he was knocked for

2088
01:48:17,439 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 4: was not being dialed in for seventeen weeks, like having

2089
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 4: trouble and having to stay off a call of duty.

2090
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 4: And we all remember how this played out for a

2091
01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 4: couple of years, and from all indications, he had tried

2092
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:35,759
Speaker 4: a lot harder. Right, Baseball is a long, long season, sure,

2093
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:40,479
Speaker 4: and so he would then be taking what was a

2094
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 4: much shorter timeframe and extending it out. Now, is he

2095
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:46,720
Speaker 4: likely to stay healthier there? Yes? And we already knew

2096
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 4: how talented he was a baseball as well. Maybe he

2097
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,320
Speaker 4: at that point is just like you know what, I'm

2098
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:56,799
Speaker 4: getting tired of getting knocked on my rear at my size.

2099
01:48:57,240 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll just go do this. I can see it

2100
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,040
Speaker 4: from that perconcive. I just don't know how much better

2101
01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:05,559
Speaker 4: it would go if he doesn't want to commit to

2102
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:10,639
Speaker 4: you know, April through at least September with one hundred

2103
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 4: and sixty two game. I mean, that's a lot for

2104
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 4: somebody that's used to doing so much less than that

2105
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:20,400
Speaker 4: and has been knocked kind of for his diligence and

2106
01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 4: accountability when it comes to those things, at least in

2107
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 4: the past. That would be my only concern about it

2108
01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:29,639
Speaker 4: from the outside looking in. But I would say from

2109
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:33,160
Speaker 4: our perspective, I'd like to see it because it would

2110
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:36,160
Speaker 4: be a The curiosity factor would be off the charts

2111
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 4: to see what that could look like.

2112
01:49:38,040 --> 01:49:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to be clear, he is going to get

2113
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:43,759
Speaker 2: this year. I just I don't know that there's anything

2114
01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 2: long term. And I mean you even look at those options,

2115
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 2: you know, the Viking The Vikings are so.

2116
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:51,519
Speaker 3: Weird because like.

2117
01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:57,879
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, they're clearly looking for They're

2118
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:00,920
Speaker 2: they're saying they want to create competition for JJ McCarthy.

2119
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:04,519
Speaker 2: They clearly don't believe in him, but them, the Colts whatever,

2120
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:07,200
Speaker 2: like it's just I don't know, and it's just I'll

2121
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:10,439
Speaker 2: say this is like it's funny. There's you know, there's

2122
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 2: kind of a saying in our business that like there's

2123
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 2: no wrong takes it.

2124
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:15,880
Speaker 3: Sometimes it just takes a while.

2125
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 2: And it's like I remember having these debates with Arnie

2126
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 2: Spaniard when all this stuff popped up, cause you know,

2127
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 2: and I think it's easy to forget this now, but

2128
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 2: like people forget this. I think j mart is that

2129
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 2: going into Kyler Murray's essentially his only season playing football

2130
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,559
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma, like it was understood, oh, he's doing this

2131
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:38,479
Speaker 2: to kind of, you know, fulfill the lifelong dream play

2132
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 2: major college football. He had transferred Oklahoma, but it was

2133
01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 2: understood like, oh, he's been drafted by the A's and

2134
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 2: this is his last year of football and he's going

2135
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,679
Speaker 2: to baseball. And then he was of course so good

2136
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:51,320
Speaker 2: that he ended up being the number one pick in

2137
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:53,840
Speaker 2: the draft. But like the plan all along was to

2138
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 2: play one more year of football and then go to baseball.

2139
01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 2: And so I just bring it up because one he's

2140
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 2: already sort of exceeded the expectations when he was in college.

2141
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,600
Speaker 2: But two, I just go back to when he was

2142
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:10,599
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma. I just didn't know how he was going

2143
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:12,719
Speaker 2: to be able to hold up, frankly, even as long

2144
01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:16,600
Speaker 2: as he has playing playing in the NFL, and I

2145
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 2: just think, you know, the injuries are starting to pile up.

2146
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:22,599
Speaker 2: He's now twenty eight years old, so maybe that's something

2147
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:24,800
Speaker 2: that would be working against him to try to make

2148
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:27,120
Speaker 2: a run at baseball, as he's just much, you know,

2149
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 2: kind of advanced in his career. But I just I

2150
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:33,560
Speaker 2: just don't see the like I'm saying a lot of

2151
01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:35,439
Speaker 2: words here, saw shut up and throw it back to you,

2152
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 2: But like, I don't see the world where he goes

2153
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:41,679
Speaker 2: somewhere else this year and is so awesome that it's like, oh, yeah,

2154
01:51:41,680 --> 01:51:44,559
Speaker 2: he's clearly the answer for them for the next four.

2155
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:45,280
Speaker 3: Years, you know what I mean?

2156
01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:48,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I agree with you. I mean, I didn't

2157
01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:51,439
Speaker 4: think the market would be that big for him because

2158
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:56,479
Speaker 4: I mean, look, Jacoby Brissette basically took his job. Yeah,

2159
01:51:57,080 --> 01:52:00,599
Speaker 4: and we're talking about Jacoby Brissett here, not Josh Allen.

2160
01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:03,840
Speaker 4: Look nothing against what we saw Jacobe do last year.

2161
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 4: I mean, and he's been good for a long time

2162
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:07,519
Speaker 4: in terms of being able to step in on a

2163
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:10,960
Speaker 4: limited basis. But this was obviously the most sustained we've

2164
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 4: seen him play really really well, and he did a

2165
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:17,280
Speaker 4: great job. But like Kyler, Murray is not the answer

2166
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 4: for anybody, and I think that they all know that

2167
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:22,840
Speaker 4: your point about Minnesota notwithstanding, I mean, they're looking for

2168
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 4: anything other than JJ McCarthy. It seems the boy what

2169
01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:28,799
Speaker 4: a rough life for them right now, watching Sam Donald

2170
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,639
Speaker 4: go win a super Bowl while they're sitting there. They

2171
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:34,040
Speaker 4: aren't sure they have a quarterback at all, and so

2172
01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:35,720
Speaker 4: you're looking at that, and then the Colts are just

2173
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:38,840
Speaker 4: trying to find somebody to maybe get them back to

2174
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones. I don't even know at this point, but

2175
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 4: I also heard that, you know, the Vikings were looking

2176
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,559
Speaker 4: at Anthony Richardson and like, so there's all these other

2177
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:52,120
Speaker 4: names just the it's not even really the baggage. It's

2178
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:54,680
Speaker 4: just he gets hurt a lot. He's got a lot

2179
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:56,640
Speaker 4: of highs and lows. He makes some plays that just

2180
01:52:56,720 --> 01:53:02,160
Speaker 4: absolutely make you almost do jumping jacks. They're just absolutely

2181
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 4: outrageously exciting. It's like nobody can make those plays. And

2182
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,320
Speaker 4: he has done that a few times in his career.

2183
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:09,559
Speaker 4: So he's got that in him, but then he's got

2184
01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:12,599
Speaker 4: a lot of turnovers in him. He can have a

2185
01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:15,439
Speaker 4: you know, subpar attitude from Tom to Tom when things

2186
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:20,040
Speaker 4: aren't going well. Especially so there's not like you use

2187
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 4: the word robust to describe something else earlier. There's not

2188
01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:27,040
Speaker 4: like a robust like teams are not beating down the

2189
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:30,400
Speaker 4: door to find Kyler Murray. There might be somebody out

2190
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:32,760
Speaker 4: there that thinks they can be the one that fixes him.

2191
01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:35,000
Speaker 4: They're the one that can really get through to him

2192
01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:39,120
Speaker 4: and maximize his talent. But I agree, I think that

2193
01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 4: even if he does not go play baseball, I'd be

2194
01:53:42,160 --> 01:53:46,800
Speaker 4: surprised if Kyler Murray is in the league in four years.

2195
01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:49,080
Speaker 4: I think you said four three, four years. I think

2196
01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:52,800
Speaker 4: it's very likely he's not any NFL. And regardless if

2197
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:54,599
Speaker 4: he ever went and played baseball or not.

2198
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:56,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we got to get to break But one

2199
01:53:56,560 --> 01:53:59,120
Speaker 2: thing I would say, you use the name Sam Darnold

2200
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:01,800
Speaker 2: for obvious reasons, and it references the Vikings like I

2201
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:05,400
Speaker 2: don't think it is Kyler Murray goes to the Vikings

2202
01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:09,200
Speaker 2: next year and then gets a completely new lease on life.

2203
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:11,679
Speaker 4: This is not the Geno Smith and Seattle thing either

2204
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:12,880
Speaker 4: bingo so.

01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:26,120
Speaker 3: in Atlanta.

2225
01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:29,560
Speaker 4: Oh no, I had to do it.

2226
01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:32,280
Speaker 3: Gotta talk about it, Jay mart.

2227
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:41,320
Speaker 2: Last Monday, the Atlanta Hawks stole a bit from the

2228
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:41,960
Speaker 2: odd couple.

2229
01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Rob Parker.

2230
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:53,200
Speaker 2: Created Magic City Monday, like eight years ago or whatever.

2231
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 2: J Mark, I know you're a religious man. I know

2232
01:55:57,080 --> 01:55:59,440
Speaker 2: you probably I would assume, have never been to a

2233
01:55:59,440 --> 01:56:01,720
Speaker 2: strip club, Like in a serious way.

2234
01:56:02,600 --> 01:56:05,960
Speaker 3: Was it outrageous to you?

2235
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 2: Was it just kind of like roll your eyes? Was

2236
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:10,120
Speaker 2: it embarrassing?

2237
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 4: Like?

2238
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 2: And I'm being serious, and I hope it doesn't come

2239
01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:17,440
Speaker 2: off as I'm being sarcastic. I know that this isn't

2240
01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:19,960
Speaker 2: something you approve of. I'm just kind of curious to

2241
01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:23,480
Speaker 2: what the scale you would say of the Atlanta Hawks

2242
01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:27,000
Speaker 2: promoting a strip club at their game last Monday.

2243
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:37,400
Speaker 4: Look, man, are are all the Atlanta Hawks fans you

2244
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:40,520
Speaker 4: know twenty plus years old?

2245
01:56:41,760 --> 01:56:45,040
Speaker 3: No, No, that's that's my that would be my issue too,

2246
01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 3: But keep going.

2247
01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:49,800
Speaker 4: That's I mean, that's that's really it, right, Like obviously, yes,

2248
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:55,480
Speaker 4: from my from my standpoint, there's definitely a big concern there.

2249
01:56:57,320 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 4: But without even getting into that side of it, just

2250
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:05,400
Speaker 4: the sheer idea that the NBA is supposed to be

2251
01:57:05,440 --> 01:57:10,200
Speaker 4: a family product, yes, would tell me this is not

2252
01:57:10,440 --> 01:57:14,720
Speaker 4: a good look. It's just a bad idea. Like I know,

2253
01:57:14,880 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 4: and I even saw the comments or the articles like

2254
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:20,160
Speaker 4: Killer Mike and some of these people have come out

2255
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:22,880
Speaker 4: and told people to shut up about this, and you know,

2256
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 4: you don't understand and all this, like no, no, look,

2257
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 4: it's a strip club and you've got kids in the crowd,

2258
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:32,080
Speaker 4: and those are conversations that parents should not be forced

2259
01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 4: to have with their children. They should not have to

2260
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 4: address what that is if their kid asks them what

2261
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:38,920
Speaker 4: it is? Now, could you lie? Yes? Should you ever

2262
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:40,800
Speaker 4: lie to your lie to your kid? I hope not.

2263
01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 4: I hope you can find a way around that. But

2264
01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:46,440
Speaker 4: like I just kind of look at it. It's it's

2265
01:57:46,480 --> 01:57:49,040
Speaker 4: not really an eye roll. I don't think that's quite enough.

2266
01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 4: It's really just a oh, that's kind of my response,

2267
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 4: just like, Okay, that's gross. It's not something that I'm

2268
01:57:56,800 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 4: going to go write five thousand words on or any

2269
01:58:00,280 --> 01:58:03,280
Speaker 4: like that, because I understand that honestly, the less you

2270
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:05,440
Speaker 4: talk about it, it's not going to get that much play.

2271
01:58:05,640 --> 01:58:10,000
Speaker 4: Like it's not it's not it's not big enough to

2272
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:12,640
Speaker 4: carry the day, especially with what's going on globally and

2273
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:16,560
Speaker 4: everything else. So in the grand scheme of things, it's

2274
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 4: not the end of the world. But it's just another

2275
01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:20,920
Speaker 4: one of those deals in culture where it's like, is

2276
01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:25,040
Speaker 4: there any dignity left for children? Social media and everything

2277
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:28,400
Speaker 4: has stripped so much innocence away because they can't avoid it.

2278
01:58:28,440 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 4: And now let's go to an NBA game. Oh, they're

2279
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 4: honoring a strip club tonight. It's just to me, that's

2280
01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:35,240
Speaker 4: kind of disgusting.

2281
01:58:36,040 --> 01:58:38,880
Speaker 2: So I don't really have like a ton to add

2282
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 2: all I will say when I first heard it, you know, one,

2283
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:43,520
Speaker 2: I obviously no sarcasm. Did think of the odd couple

2284
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 2: because you know, Rob Parker, you know, has kind of

2285
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:47,680
Speaker 2: made that one of his bits, and I love Rob

2286
01:58:47,720 --> 01:58:52,480
Speaker 2: and you know he's hysterical, and I really had no

2287
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:54,720
Speaker 2: real problem with it. And then I did think, like,

2288
01:58:54,920 --> 01:59:01,560
Speaker 2: if you were the NBA and you are hemorrhaging fans literally, I.

2289
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:05,280
Speaker 3: You're now putting parents in.

2290
01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:08,120
Speaker 2: A situation where they just say, even if I wanted

2291
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:09,400
Speaker 2: to go to that game, forget the fact that the

2292
01:59:09,400 --> 01:59:11,240
Speaker 2: Hawks stink and you're probably not bringing your kids on

2293
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 2: a Monday night anyway during the school year, but like,

2294
01:59:14,920 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 2: it's just one more reason not to show up to

2295
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 2: the arena. And I guess the counter would be, well,

2296
01:59:20,280 --> 01:59:23,200
Speaker 2: maybe you'll bring in, you know, some percentage of a

2297
01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:26,720
