Jmax joining, 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you I saw a headline in the 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: Athletic this morning. I just smiled and laughed. The headline 13 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: in the Athletic. Three seasons ago, college basketball had no juice, 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: no household names. And now it's better than ever, and 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: we have the nil to think here here. It's what 16 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: I've been preaching college sports. It's different now. I think 17 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: it's better. You may argue it's not, but what it 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: really is, it's different. And I'm watching this tournament there's 19 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: like seven freshmen that are it's college basketball now is 20 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: such a global sport. Because the nil money you can 21 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: go buy twenty kids, thirty kids from Europe because our 22 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: economy is so much bigger than Europe. 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 3: So we're this sport. 24 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: I mean, Rick Patino told us a month ago there's 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: no valor in complaining, adapt or die. And there's three 26 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: big winners in the nil transfer portal era. 27 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 3: Number one is the Big Ten. 28 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of money at the Michigans and Michigan States, 29 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: and those are big schools with rich graduates. There are 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: six of the final sixteen teams, six of sixteen or 31 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: Big ten. They've got three straight football national champion in 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: Chips and six quarterbacks next year that may go in 33 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: the first round. 34 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 3: Big ten is rolling. 35 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: The second big winner is the older coaches, Rick Barnes, 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: Calvin Sampson, Patino, you. 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: Know Tom Izzo. 38 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: Why because it used to be college basketball you had 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: to pound the pavement. You're going to six AAU tournaments 40 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: over the course a day and a half. You're going 41 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: to high school. Now it's administrative. 42 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: Now you write a check. 43 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: So Patino and Izzo, you can be in your late 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: sixties or seventies. A lot of great older coaches and 45 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: elder statesmen. They're big winners here too. So why Belichick 46 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: would never have worked in college football? Ten years ago. 47 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's going to but he has a 48 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: chance to work now in college sports. And the third 49 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: winner the players I never bought into the G League. 50 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: Name one NBA star that comes from the G league. 51 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: College basketball has got better facilities, better exposure, you know, 52 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: better coaching, better travel, better development. 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm watching Michigan. 54 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: Their front line looks like an NBA front line. So 55 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: I've been preaching this now for several months and years. 56 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Is that when ratings are through the roof, this is 57 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: the most watched college basketball season in a decade. When 58 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: the ratings are up and the revenue is up. My 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: eyes don't lie. You can't tell me the sport's broken. 60 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: It is different now. You know, players are less loyal, 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: not less passionate. They still love the Spartans, they still 62 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: love the Wolverines, they still love Alabama Tennessee. But they're 63 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: a little less loyal. And that's not a terrible thing. 64 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: If coaches can skip town, soaken players. Players are going 65 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: to go where they have the best opportunities. And you 66 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: know everybody told me about the NIL, Well, they're rich, 67 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: will get richer. I just watch Iowa. This one shocked me. 68 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: Beat Florida less. Yes, yesterday, Iowa was middle of the 69 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: pack in the Big Ten. 70 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: They beat the defending champions. 71 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you remember, but the Indiana Hoosiers, 72 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: a basketball school, just won the football national championship. 73 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: So I want to hear about the rich get richer. 74 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: Indiana could have never won a national championship in football. 75 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: With the old way, paying kids through the churches, paying 76 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: kids at the car lot, putting money in the glove compartment, 77 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,239 Speaker 1: Indiana couldn't compete. They can now. They just wont a nanny. 78 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: And I'm watching you know it is Iowa a big 79 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: money school. I mean there's some rich farmers. But I'm 80 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: watching Iowa last night. They're beating Florida. That was to me. 81 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: Forget high point high points, well coached, they got good 82 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: high points. 83 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: Good Iowa beat Florida. 84 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: Wow. So you know, you gotta be careful with all 85 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: the social media platforms listening to the very loud fringes. 86 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: The ratings Foxes ratings for college basketball are up thirty 87 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: eight percent this year. The quality of play is this 88 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: is going to be the best draft, the best NBA draft. 89 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even remember the one where 90 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: you have twelve guys at the top that can all 91 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: play immediately in the NBA. 92 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 3: That kid from Arkansas, Darius Acuff. 93 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: Wow, it's like if Russell Westbrook was a great shooter too. 94 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: You get all this athleticism. He didn't want to play 95 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: a lick of defense. But I'm telling the kid is 96 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: so special offensively. So Rick Patino say, is that guy 97 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: a great coach? They beat Kansas? His team can't shoot 98 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: and they beat Kansas. He talked about this couple of 99 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: weeks ago, about all the changes in college sports. I 100 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: think I can adjust to just about anything because you 101 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: have to adjust today. 102 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 3: You see it all the time. 103 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: All the sports change. The coaches that don't want to 104 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: change get out, and I wasn't ready to get up. Okay, 105 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: now let's shift to the NBA. So before I left 106 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: on Vaca, Lebron was a distraction. Luca couldn't stop complaining 107 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: to the refs and even Laker fans were ripping him. 108 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: Lakers were a bad defensive team and they couldn't beat 109 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: any good teams. 110 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: They just beat up on the Sacramentos. 111 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: I go on a week vacation, I come back, They're 112 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: in a nine game heater Lucas the MVP, Lebron's now 113 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: playing the best defense in probably half a decade for 114 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: him in setting screens, and JJ Reddick may get votes 115 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: for Coach of the Year. Laker fans have called Fox 116 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: Sports and asked that I go back on vacation. I 117 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: don't even know what I'm watching. They're on a nine 118 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: game here. First of all, Lebron listens to his critics. 119 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: He always has, and I don't think it's a bad quality. 120 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: But Lebron is playing screen setting, moving, off ball intensity leader. 121 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: I mean we said Lebron's individually great, I'm not sure 122 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: he's a third wheel on any team. Lebron's been sensational the. 123 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: Last nine ten games. 124 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's kind of Lebron's moved into his Harrison Ford role, 125 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: which he's more supporting actor than leading man. But he's 126 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: still good on the screen. Number two is Luca has 127 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: stopped barking as much as officials and now is taunting 128 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: and mocking fans and opposing players. 129 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: I like that, Luca. 130 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: The other thing is JJ Reddick deserves a ton of credit. 131 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: He's an offensive guy. He can be a little snarky 132 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: at times. I like that, But I'm in the media. 133 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: I like the funny soundbites. I think JJS done a 134 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: very good job. I think is in the NBA is 135 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: a tight rope. When you deal with stars in the NBA, 136 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: you gotta pander a little, you gotta kiss some butt. 137 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: I mean Steve Kerr. 138 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: Steve Kerr is always support his players, and Steve Kerr 139 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: is a very opinionaive guy. There is a tight rope 140 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: you have to play as an NBA head coach. NFL 141 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: coaches have all the power. NBA coaches don't. The players do. 142 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: So JJ's messaging early in his career was a little 143 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: harsh and a little critical, and it's not his messaging. 144 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: He has softened it. It's hard to get because the 145 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: Lakers are not a great defensive team, but they're playing 146 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: very good defensive basketball. So to get superstars in the 147 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: NBA like a Lebron and a Luca to collaboratively play 148 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: about as well defensively as they can at this spot 149 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: in their career is a real effort by JJ Reddick. 150 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: He softened his messaging. He's got everybody buying in. They're 151 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: all golfing on days off. They're buying in. It's its 152 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: collaboration now. Again, it is a regular season NBA winning streak. 153 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: You know how the NBA playoffs go. It's the only 154 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: professional league in America that's officiated frintly in the postseason. Okay, 155 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: the whistles, you don't get them. Austin Reeves won't get 156 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: to the free throw on line. And you play the 157 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: same team six seven times, so they hunt you down 158 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: if you're a weak defender, and the Lakers have several 159 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: of them. 160 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: So it is a regular season win streak. 161 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you, JJ Reddick, they're taking better shots. 162 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: Lebron's moving off ball, diving for balls, playing real defense. 163 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton, who's always been a little up and down 164 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: and inconsistent and mercurial and moody, he's playing. He seems 165 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: to be. You know, there's a connective tissue with DeAndre Ayton. 166 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: Portland couldn't do it, Phoenix couldn't do it, and maybe 167 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't last forever. But all in all, I mean, 168 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: what are the I mean you look around, You're like, 169 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: is it is more of an offensive league today than 170 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: seven years ago? Like the NFL, they've moved into offense. 171 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: The rules favor the offense, and right now they're the 172 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: second third best offensive team in the league game winning streak. 173 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: Luke could be MVP. Reddick could be coach of the Year. 174 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: Lebron's plan. I mean for him to play defense like this, 175 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: off ball screening. I mean, he's doing it all and 176 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: here is here is a little snark stur jj Reddick recently. 177 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 4: It's not just the fact that he responds to a 178 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 4: rough play or trash talking. It's that he can he 179 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: can channel it, and he can channel it while still 180 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 4: doing all the other things that needs to be done. 181 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 4: He's playing as well as anybody in the NBA right now, 182 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 4: and I think that's you know, it's probably not being 183 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 4: talked about it enough, but I'm going to talk about it. 184 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: He's talking about Luca there, So listen. If you want 185 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: me to go back to the Caribbean, I will. I mean, 186 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's it is March. But college basketball. I 187 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: sat and watched it all week and I thought it 188 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: was fantastic. Now you like a zone, I think to 189 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: win it all. I had Michigan beating Florida. I was shocked. 190 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: And it's not a knock on. I mean, Florida was 191 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: a kind of a flawed team in the back court, 192 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit, but I tell you that was 193 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: a The Big Ten is on fire. I mean, Ucla 194 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: in the first half until the very end of the 195 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: first half led you Conn. 196 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 3: I thought, are they gonna get? 197 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: Are they gonna get forty five percent of the Sweet sixteen? 198 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you, I just thought, I think 199 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: the tournament so far has been so much fun. 200 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, excellent tournament. 201 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 6: Colin though that Lakers ran, I don't know that I'm 202 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 6: mentally prepared for a World Cup that starts in Los 203 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 6: Angeles and the Lakers in the finals in June. Like, 204 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 6: I don't know how I'm gonna handle this. No kids 205 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 6: get out of school. 206 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 5: It's gonna be chaos out here in Los Angeles. 207 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 6: Maybe you'll maybe you'll come back over here and hang 208 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 6: out and keep that nice tan going. I don't think 209 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 6: the Chicago Sun's going to help you for the next 210 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 6: four months. 211 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: Well it is. 212 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: It is basketball season. 213 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: So be sure to catch live editions of The Herd 214 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: Weekdays and Noon Easter not a Empacific on Fox Sports 215 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 2: Radio FS one and the iHeartRadio app Hi. 216 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 7: This is Jay. 217 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 8: I'm the producer of the Paula and Toni Fusco Show. 218 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 8: Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to 219 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 8: the show. I'm here to ask you please, don't listen 220 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 8: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who 221 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 8: have the dumbest takes on sports imaginable. Don't listen to 222 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 8: the show so it can get cancel. 223 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 3: What the hell are you doing in our studio? Get him? 224 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 4: Ignore that fool. 225 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 6: Listen to the Paula and Tony Fusco Show on the 226 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 6: iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. 227 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: He's still moving, Colin Wright, Colin Wrong, plenty of both, 228 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: top of our number two. So talent alone in pro 229 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: sports absolutely has a ceiling. So the Seattle Seahawks let 230 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: four starters go, four starters from the Super Bowl team 231 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: let him go. And yet they paid ja Jackson, Smith 232 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: and Jigba early a year before they had to. And 233 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: they just set a new NFL wide receiver contract record. 234 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: So why did they pay him early? And why did 235 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: they let four guys go. Let's just concentrate on JSN 236 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: because a lot of young players are productive, but teams 237 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: don't sign him a year early. Why did they do 238 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: it with JSN? No drama, no big ego? He is 239 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: what every CEO is seeking. He is what every GM 240 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: is seeking. He gets along with teammates, quarterbacks, coaches, coordinators. 241 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: He never steps in it. 242 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so many young athletes get terrible advice JSN, huge talent, 243 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: no drama. It's like Amaran Saint Brown. You don't have 244 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: to worry about him. You don't have to babysit him. 245 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: He's a grownup. Puka Naku, by the way, is great, 246 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: but he has stepped in it multiple times with the Rams. 247 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: The Rams are going to take a wide receiver. I 248 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: believe early in this draft justin Casey steps in it again. 249 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: What you want to be? And I love Puka and 250 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: so do the Rams. Maybe he should stream last. Okay, 251 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: this is why Steph Curry is a multi decade building 252 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: foundational block. Ego and drama always punctures talent. So you 253 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: want to be Steph Curry JSN amor on Saint Brown. 254 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: I'll give Justin Jefferson credit. He hasn't had the best 255 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: quarterback plan the last year. No complaints shows up highly productive. 256 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson's numbers should be thirty percent better than they 257 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: are now. In uncomplain, he's never had his Joe Burrow 258 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: So this is a time example of Seattle had to 259 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: make big decisions and where do they set the record 260 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: with JSN. You think it's just talent, there's not just talent. 261 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: No babysitting him, no drama. He cares about the right stuff. 262 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: He carries himself like a professional. Sorry, it matters, see 263 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. He just lasted. That's what everybody's looking for. 264 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: I could name ten guys in this league play wide 265 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: receiver who have as much talent as JSN. But he 266 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: is the model of what every GM is looking for 267 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: from a position wide receiver. And there's probably reasons why 268 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: it tends to be attract very dramatic personalities. I'm not 269 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: exactly sure why, but it does. But he is just 270 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: absolutely a foundational piece. Good for him, earned every penny 271 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: of it. I love to say she guys get paid 272 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: earlier than later. Way to go, John Snyder on the 273 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: Seahawks and JSN. 274 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 3: J Mack with the news. 275 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: No news, this is the head line news. 276 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: All right. 277 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 6: Con Let's start with the big upset yesterday in March Madness, 278 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 6: Iowa taking down Mighty Florida in a major stunner, unbelievable game, 279 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 6: great finish, Colin and Bennett Sturtz, my guy, the point guard, 280 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 6: was the hero. 281 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: Sped up the. 282 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 6: Court, hit Alvarro full Garris in the corner, who buries 283 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 6: the three and they hold on for the win. I 284 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 6: looked up some stats on full Garris. He was in 285 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 6: a major funk. He was three for his last nineteen 286 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 6: from deep Colin. He couldn't make anything, and then with 287 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 6: the game on the line, buries it. You know, I 288 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 6: live for this March badness stuff. Huge upset, had it 289 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 6: in a couple of my brackets, and I think I 290 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 6: was going to be live to take down Nebraska Colin 291 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 6: in their next meeting. You know, those two teams hate 292 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 6: each other. They play obviously in conference play they split 293 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 6: the season series. How about this stat, Colin So Florida 294 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 6: was the number two team in the country in offensive rebounding. 295 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,959 Speaker 6: Iowa ten offensive rebounds, Florida nine. You know, offensive rebounds 296 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 6: are all heart and hustle and effort and try hard. 297 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 5: Just a great game. 298 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 6: I guess your thoughts on Florida and the first number 299 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 6: one going down. 300 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: Well, I had Florida playing Michigan in the National Championship 301 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: and the Wolverines winning it all. I still feel Michigan's 302 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: gonna win it, and I thought I thought one of 303 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: the teams that could match up with them is Florida. 304 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: Florida had been playing very well. I think the big 305 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: winner in that is Michigan. I think Michigan. That's one 306 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: of those teams that I didn't know. There's a couple 307 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: of teams that match up pretty well with Michigan. 308 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 3: Not great. 309 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody matches up with them really, really well. 310 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: But Florida is one of the ones you thought could 311 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: be competitive, and they're out of the way. So I'll 312 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: tell you the Vandy Nebraska game was one for the age. 313 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 5: That next hour. Yeah, that was a lot of hate 314 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 5: going around over the weekend. 315 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: College. 316 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 6: Oh, the tournament's boring. Look at all these twenty thirty 317 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 6: forty point games. I don't know, did you find it 318 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 6: like a snoozer of a weekend? I mean, obviously there 319 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 6: were a couple buzzer beaters yesterday. 320 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I I'm really upfront about this. 321 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: I don't root for High Point. I root for the Caliparis. 322 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: I root for the Michigans. I root for the Dukes 323 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: and the Danny Hurleys and my Zags. 324 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 3: Went down. 325 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: I like the big brands, the recognizable coaches, and I 326 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: like the teams that have the most NBA bodies. So 327 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: it's the same way in college football, It's like I 328 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: like watching the big brands. 329 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: So this doesn't bother me at all. 330 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: We've had justin keep your eye in Illinois, by the way, yep, 331 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: I mean all these Big ten teams they beat up 332 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: on each other and you, I mean Iowa was the 333 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: middle of the pack Big ten team. 334 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 335 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it's like, if you just told me 336 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: before the tournament the biggest upset, Florida's going down, pick 337 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: the team like Iowa. So when you say there's no upset, 338 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: there's not as many, but there's plenty. 339 00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 9: Yeah. 340 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 6: And you mentioned this NBA draft at the outset, Colin, 341 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 6: we're looking at like four of the top eight picks 342 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 6: are probably gonna be playing, maybe five of the top 343 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 6: nine are. We're gonna be playing Thursday and Friday. Like 344 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 6: that's what you want, right, I get it, high points 345 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 6: of fun story, but you want the ballers and the superstars. 346 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 6: So I'm aut totally on board with this. All right, 347 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 6: Let's move on to the NBA and Nicola Jokic not 348 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 6: the triple double yesterday. 349 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 5: It's crazy. 350 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 6: It was just thirty fifth triple double of the season, 351 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 6: and afterward the big story wasn't necessarily beating up the Blazers, 352 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 6: but it's what Jokich said on the. 353 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 5: Team's YouTube channel about leadership. I think you're gonna like this. 354 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 7: Either is something like you sometimes you need to be 355 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 7: a bad guy, and I think that's something that I 356 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 7: cannot be. Uh and uh when I think when I 357 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 7: when I started, when I get over that border or 358 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 7: not to see next step is that they're gonna be 359 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 7: like you need sometimes you need to be a bad guy. Yeah, 360 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 7: I think that's my next step. 361 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 5: Hmm. 362 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 6: You're well versed in being the bad guy as a leader. 363 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 6: H Are you surprise he's that a guy like Joki 364 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 6: is just admitting, Hey, I can't do that. That's I 365 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 6: don't have that in my. 366 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: Bad in basketball. I'm not sure what's leadership. Like Lebron's 367 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: obviously been around forever. He can provide wisdom and IQ 368 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: and EQ, but not everybody's. I asked Jimmy Johnson that 369 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: years ago. I'm like, he said, Troy Aikman was a 370 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: great leader, and I said, what what is it, he goes, 371 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: I don't I can't necessarily define it. He was just 372 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: a great leader. And I don't think you have to 373 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: be a bad guy to be a leader. Sometimes you 374 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: have to deliver bad news as a leader. You don't 375 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 1: have to be a bad guy. I don't believe that. 376 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: But sometimes you have to say stuff that is like 377 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: to a friend, it's harsh. It's harsh, But I don't 378 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: think that makes you a bad guy. Sometimes you just 379 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: have bad news to deliver. 380 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 5: And that's the problem. Like, if you've got to deliver 381 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 5: bad news, people perceive you as a bad guy. Lebron 382 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 5: has this knock. 383 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 6: Oh he's he's harsh. To look at how we treated 384 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 6: Mario Chalmers. Mario Thomers is eating for life because Lebron 385 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 6: had him a couple of titles in Miami. You know, 386 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 6: like sometimes you got to be Kobe Bryant was a 387 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 6: harsh leader. Michael Jordan punched out teammates. He's considered one 388 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 6: of the great leaders in NBA history. Like, I don't 389 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 6: see why it's like a knock to be a harsh leader, 390 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 6: you know. 391 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 3: No, I don't think it is that. 392 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: There's plenty of business books written on leadership, and you 393 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: know it is taking stands and you have to fight 394 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: the gail headwinds, Gaiale force headwinds. 395 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: That's just the reality of all leaders. 396 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, Colin. Final story is to the NFL. 397 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 6: Obviously, you were on vacation last week working on that 398 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 6: tan when a Max Crosby deal got slipped on its head. 399 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 6: He's headed back to the Raiders. Interestingly, a recent podcast, 400 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 6: Aaron Donald was talking about the Crosby disaster and I'm 401 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 6: surprised by this. 402 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 10: Take take a listen, how we failed through, it didn't 403 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 10: fall through, and now I'm back back of your household again. 404 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 3: This is for me. 405 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 10: I feel uncomfortable now. I don't know how I feel, 406 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 10: like what I want to be there. Would I want 407 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 10: to stay there, I'd be like, I'll kind of be 408 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 10: more trying to figure something else to trying to go elsewhere, 409 00:21:59,480 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 10: somewhere else. 410 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 6: That's just me. 411 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 10: I don't know how Max feel, but me personally, I 412 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 10: don't know if I'll be comfortable in that building. 413 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: You know, I get both well, I get both sides. 414 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: I listen. I you know, I always think about this 415 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: like it's jet fuel, you know, like if you're an 416 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: actor and you know, you were not. 417 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 3: The first choice. 418 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: They wanted to pick Denzel, but Denzel had another role, 419 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: and you're an actor and you're like the third choice 420 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: for a role. Well, it's it's employment and it's a 421 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: great opportunity. And when you're a pro athlete, you're a 422 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: little like an actor. You've got kind of a shelf 423 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: life of being in your peak. And so to me, like, 424 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: if somebody wants me, I'm not even sure I care 425 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: if an hour ago they didn't want me, like I 426 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: would bring in the chip on the shoulder, like I'll 427 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: show you that your consideration to move me was a mistake. 428 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: But I you know, that falls differently for different personality. 429 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: So I could see Max Crosby standing the hell with it, 430 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: I don't care. And I also get Aaron Donald being like, no, 431 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: you turn your back on me, Like, loyalty matters to 432 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: a lot of pro athletes, you know, I mean it does. 433 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: I mean being a pro athlete and a great one 434 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: is a big sacrifice, and you want to feel like 435 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: everybody's got your back. Unfortunately, in life, even in your 436 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: own family, sometimes not everybody has your back. So I 437 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: get Aaron Donald's too. 438 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 6: Well, the only problem that Donald didn't address, was that 439 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 6: Crosby's the one who asked for the trade. 440 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 5: Crosby's like, get me out of here. 441 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 6: I want to contend, right, So then the Raiders obliged. 442 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 5: Him, shipped him, and now he's back. 443 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't it just felt weird, like Crosby 444 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 6: has Raiders stuff tattooed on his body. He's a Raider 445 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 6: for life. Maybe you know, not to sound all hokey, 446 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 6: but maybe this was meant to be. He had to 447 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 6: ask out, they had to say no, it's not gonna 448 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 6: happen because they don't want you. 449 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 5: And now you come back, and I don't know, maybe 450 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 5: they win a. 451 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 6: Super Bowl with Max Crosby. Wouldn't that be a story. 452 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not gonna happen. 453 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 5: Well, wait a minute, Wait a minute, we see some 454 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 5: quick turnarounds, Colin. 455 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 6: I mean the Patriots won four games. The next year 456 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 6: we're in the Super Bowl. 457 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: Well, Patriots have better ownership than the Raiders, and the 458 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: Patriots had a you know, we knew that Drake May 459 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: was good going into year two. We think Fernando Mendoz 460 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: is going to be good. So we know, I mean 461 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: England New England winning games in January is never going 462 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 1: to shock me the rest of my life. They got 463 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: too good a stewardship and leadership in the building. 464 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 6: Well, just regarding the Raiders last week, I was crunching 465 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 6: the numbers. I think the Raiders could probably win as 466 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 6: many games as the Ravens next year. Colin, when you 467 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 6: look at the rosters the opponents, I'm bullish on the Raiders. 468 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 5: Is that a crazy take of mine? 469 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: No, because I think I don't understand the over under 470 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: on the Ravens right now. It's way too high. It's 471 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: the best under bet on the board to me. 472 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 6: Totally agree. 473 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: J Mack with the news, Well that's the news, and 474 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: thanks for stopping by the lie So Saint John's Rick 475 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: Patino is an unbelievable coach. What is this the fourth 476 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: team he's gotten this sweet sixteen. The number one draft 477 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: pick in a loaded draft is going to be Darren Peterson, 478 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: we presume from Kansas. And it's been a weird year. 479 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: It's kind of a Ben Simmons vibe. Does he love 480 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: the game? And you know, I mean, I'm watching Cohen 481 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: car for Michigan State, I'm watching Darius Acuff for Arkansas. 482 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: I'm watching Excellenenborg for Michigan. You can just see the passion. 483 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean, these are good players. They care so deeply. 484 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: The head coaches are intense. They're barking at each other, 485 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: they're barking at officials. 486 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: I mean, March is intense. 487 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: Basketball. With Darren Peterson, I mean, he's super talented, and 488 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: I guess you got to take him number one. There's 489 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: some durability issues. Cooper Flag has talked about this dup 490 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: to the NBA. It's like they play a lot of basketball. 491 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: In the NBA. 492 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: You got three times as many games. In the NBA, 493 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: you got the longer game clock. It's a much more 494 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: physical sport.

He also, with Darren Peterson, 497 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, he kind of plays for himself. He doesn't 498 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: despite how often he has the ball in his hands, 499 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: he doesn't average many assists a game, under two assists 500 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: a game. 501 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: He is kind of six', five a little bit of a. 502 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: TWEEENER i know he's, talented But i'm watching this draft 503 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: And i'm watching the kid At.

FLOOR i. DON'T i don't know what to 507 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 3: make of. 508 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: Him people have said he doesn't get the lift that 509 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: he did early in the. 510 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 3: SEASON i can see. 511 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: That BUT i got to tell you there's a there's 512 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: a ten to fifteen Percent Ben simmons vibe and AND 513 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: i really worry about durability BECAUSE i, mean And i'm 514 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: not saying he's Been.

Player he may be kind of a. 519 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: Loner he doesn't necessarily elevate others in no. Assists that 520 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: was a Big kawhi issue for years and. Years kawhi 521 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: would give you thirty nine minutes and one. Assists lebron 522 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: like plays eight minutes and gives you four Like it's 523 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: just some players elevate. Others some players are sort of 524 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: silo players. THERE i, mean if you Watch, kansas when 525 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: he's on the, floor he's got the, ball and then 526 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: when he's not on the. Floor it's a totally different 527 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: offense and a totally different, feel so it's a different. 528 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: Thing he's remarkably, talented but this is not the draft 529 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: to have durability issues and passion issues. 530 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 3: Because there's so many great. 531 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: Players here's Here's bill self At kansas saying all the 532 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: right stuff on Coaching.

Liberal they'd 614 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: like their coaches to have a, filter be a little MORE. 615 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: Pc he's A midwest guy off The patina staffs At Louisville. 616 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 3: Like he's just an outspoken. 617 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: Guy it's why it's such a great guest on our, 618 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: show and he's not gonna he's not gonna filter. 619 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 3: It he's not. 620 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: Wrong So, UCLA i THINK i can speak to. This 621 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: SO ucla is a weird. Contradiction so it's, located for 622 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: the uninitiated here In Holmby hills in Bel. Air it's the, 623 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: rich one of the richest neighborhoods in the richest or 624 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: second richest city In. AMERICA i, mean The california economy 625 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: is like fourth or fifth biggest in the world if 626 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: it was a if it was a. 627 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 3: Country so it's in this very rich. 628 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: Place YET ucla is essentially in THE nil world broke 629 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: because it's more of an international university that competes now 630 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: in The Big, ten which lives for. Sports in in 631 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: Most big ten OR sec, universities the university is the 632 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: crown jewel of the. Neighborhood ucla and Bell air feels 633 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: like a zoning, issue stealing prime real. Estate the baseball 634 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: stadiums off, campus the football stadium's forty five minutes, away 635 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: not enough, space and in THE nil, world they are. 636 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: Broke so a prime example of this is a Die, 637 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: mara who is The Big ten Defensive player of The 638 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: year For. 639 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 3: Michigan he was a brewin last year and they couldn't keep. 640 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: Him and IF ucla had A Die mara on the 641 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: floor last, night they could have likely won the game 642 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: because they have great guard. Play so a public school 643 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: within their own, Conference michigan stole a guy that becomes their, 644 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: best The Big ten's best defensive. 645 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 3: Player so you know he's not. WRONG usc is. 646 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: Private, hey can anybody can give money TO Usc it's 647 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: none of your. BUSINESS ucla is. Public all the coaches' 648 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: salaries get. Published that's WHY ucla can't keep football. Coaches 649 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: Chip kelly, Said i'd rather be an assistant At Ohio 650 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: state than a head coach AT. 651 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 3: Ucla that is. 652 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: Weird it's one thing For Jeff hafley to go From 653 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: Boston college to The Green Bay. Packers it's another let 654 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: to go from a head football coach The Big ten 655 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: to a coordinator in the same. Conference but that's the 656 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: reality OF. Ucla So Mick cronin doesn't have a. Filter 657 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: he's being brutally. Honest UCLA's got a thousand wealthy.
