Speaker 1: got some great weather here. It was like ninety degrees

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: yesterday out here in sunny LA. It felt good, looked

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: good out there, and I knew it was going to

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: be a great night of football that took place. Looks

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: like the same exact thing. It's going to be some

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: nice weather for today and some football being played in

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: the nice weather areas. Looks like it's kind of holding

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: up on the East Coast as well. And well, speaking

28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: of nice weather, you don't have to worry about the

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: nice weather in Las Vegas because well, their stadium is

30
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: indoors and it's very nice. Looks like the Death Star

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: if if you've been there, it's pretty pretty, pretty phenomenal

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: piece of real estate. And that real estate has recently

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: been obtained and acquired by one Antonio Pierce as the

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: leader in the governing arm of the football team of

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. How do you feel about this move?

36
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: They get rid of Josh McDaniels. It's a mid season move.

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: They get rid of the GM Ziggler, It's a mid

38
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: season move. It's a big move for this team, considering

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: that I believe there's still four years left is our

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: correct boat. There's four years left on McDaniel's contract, so

41
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: they're still going to have to pay him out four

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: years worth of working business, but ultimately opens the door

43
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: for this team to have an opportunity to change course.

44
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: Now with that being said, they do not how should

45
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: I put this? They did not They did not appoint

46
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: a coordinators as the starter of the interim head coach.

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: They put a positional coach at the interim position, which

48
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: is something that is rarely heard of or something that

49
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: happens in that manner. What do you think happened here

50
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: and how do you see this going for the last Vegas.

51
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: Raiders, Well, the only option was the defensive coordinator. Offensive

52
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 3: coordinator was fired and so they had one option defensive

53
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: coordinator or Antonio Piers, and they chose to go with AP.

54
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: So when we say AP, we're referring to Antonio Peers.

55
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: I played against AP junior college, played against him in college,

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: played against him in the league, coached with them high

57
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: school football.

58
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Out here. AP is a leader of men. He will.

59
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: Make sure these guys are ready. AP is smart, extremely

60
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: intelligent when it comes to the game of football. He

61
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: he was a good player because he was just smarter

62
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: than everybody else, and so he's going to instill some

63
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: of that in these players. And I'm sure he was

64
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: doing that when he was the position coach, but there's

65
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: only so much you can do when you're a position coach.

66
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: The coordinator wants to run his defense this way. You're

67
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: gonna teach your guys. This is how he wants it

68
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: to be ran, and this is how we're gonna run it.

69
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 3: You have no choice. And so now that he's in charge, Okay,

70
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: I want it this way. Now that I want things

71
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: to be done this way, and that's what will happen.

72
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: And so I believe that you'll see the Raiders play

73
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: better football.

74
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: You'll see guys.

75
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: Just playing understanding of what to expect, where to be.

76
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: Josh McDaniels is a good football coach. He's just not

77
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: a good head coach, but he's a good football coach.

78
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: And so the Raiders have fire John Gruden and Josh

79
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: McDaniels in three years. That's a lot of money they

80
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: owed to these coaches. And so I'm hoping that ap

81
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: can show that he is deserving of consideration when the

82
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: season ends. But if these players can take on his

83
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 3: personality and what he's trying to instill. They're gonna be

84
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 3: fine and we'll see Antonio Peers be a head coach

85
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: here sooner than later. If not with the Raiders, h.

86
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: I I definitely, we definitely have a personal relationship. And

87
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: then just listening to what you had to say, well,

88
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: let's before I get my opinion, let's hear what Antonio

89
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: Peers had to say becoming the new interim head coach

90
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: of the Las Vegas Raiders.

91
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 4: They had opportunities to leave and go to other organizations.

92
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: I decided not to. The short story, the matter of

93
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 4: fact is I grew up in Compton, California. I was

94
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: born a Raider. I was born with the Raiders rolling

95
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: in the coliseum in LA I was rolling with NWA

96
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: Talkers straight out of Compton. Rock and Raider had so

97
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: an opportunity came to work with Josh and Pat Graham

98
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 4: and Dave. I jumped on it. So that's what set

99
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 4: me up for this. I was born this way.

100
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: If you're listening, you can hear the intensity level of

101
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: what's in Antonio Pearce's voice. He handles things in such

102
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: a very nice and direct manner. He's one that has

103
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: you could say, has been being groomed for a moment

104
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: such as this. He coached under HERM Edwards for quite

105
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: some times and looked to be the successor to Arizona

106
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: States program before things got weird, like they're like, what's

107
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: going on with Michigan right now? Things got weird like

108
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: that at Arizona State. The wheels fell off. Everybody knows

109
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: the story how that all ended. But he finds himself

110
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: coaching linebackers at for the Raiders. He did have plenty

111
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: of opportunities to move on and go to different situations,

112
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: he held staff fast in Las Vegas. I think if

113
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: you really want to know the truth of why you

114
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: passed up on coordinators to go to Antonio Pierce's and

115
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, no shade to the offense coordinator, no shade

116
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: to the defense coordinator, but AP's probably the most brilliant,

117
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: brilliant coaching mind, football mind that you have on that

118
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: coaching staff. That's not an insult, that's just what it is.

119
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: That's first and foremost. Secondly, I think the thing that

120
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: separates coaches these days TJ from coaches of the past

121
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: is that coaches of the past ruled with iron fist

122
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: and a lack of really relatability to the players. And

123
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: that was okay because that was the way the culture was.

124
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: That was how things were kind of established. Coaches were coaches.

125
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: They were authoritative figures. It doesn't matter if you like me,

126
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: if you love me, if you hate me, You're going

127
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: to do it how I want you to do. How

128
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: coaches used to say, you do it my way or

129
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: it's the highway. You know, is that and they led

130
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: with that, you know, and it was more or less

131
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: not relationship driven. It was fear driven. A lot of coaches,

132
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: old school coaches led by fear. Their motivation was to

133
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: scare the s out of you to do what it

134
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: is that they wanted you to do and how they

135
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: coached you to do it. You see today the success

136
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: that you have from players and programs these days are

137
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: coaches like Mike Tomlins and Daniel in Miami. And you know,

138
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: even you talk about an old school coach that had

139
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: had it figured out a long time ago. Andy Reid

140
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: has always been a I love my players, a player's

141
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: first type of coach, and you always see the results

142
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: playing out differently with these types of guys. Those guys

143
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: love Antonio Piers in that locker room. I bet you,

144
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: if I were a betting man, I would tell you

145
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: after you saw what was perceivably an emotional breakdown or

146
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: a letdown with the Vonte Adams after that game and

147
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: him saying I didn't want to say what I really

148
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: felt and because it used against me this and that,

149
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: I bet you Mark Davis went to those players, and

150
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: each and every one of those players, from Max Crosby

151
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: to Devonte Adams all said that Antonio Piers should be

152
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: the head coach of this team. We trust him, we

153
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: believe in him. He brings he brings something to the

154
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: table that makes us believe, it makes us feel like

155
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: we can turn this thing around. I would be willing

156
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: to bet that it was the players that led the

157
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: charge on Antonio Peers getting this opportunity.

158
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: And if that's the case, then you already know the

159
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: amount of respect that he's going to receive going into this.

160
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: And listen, real recognize real Ap is a real dude.

161
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: He's gonna tell you, uh what's right, not what you

162
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: want to hear, and you may not like it, but

163
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: you're gonna respect it. There's so many former players that

164
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: want to coach, but you got to start in the basement,

165
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna go teach something that you know

166
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: isn't the correct way, but you got to teach it

167
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: because this is how they want it to be taught.

168
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: This is what they want to do. And that's the

169
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: biggest problem in football is when you come in at

170
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: the basement and this coach wants things done this way

171
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: and you know it isn't the right way, what do

172
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: you do teach something different or being subordinate? And so

173
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: I hope he does well because with the way Demico

174
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: Ryans and the Houston Texas are playing, this now can

175
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: start to open up the door for former players that

176
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: have always wanted to get in coaching but don't want

177
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: to start in the basement.

178
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be interesting to see how this one plays off.

179
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: I think we had this discussion during the course of

180
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: the week, which, by the way, if you want to

181
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: hear us every single day during the course of the week,

182
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: you can hear us at up on Game our podcast.

183
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: We give you content every day. We discussed this and

184
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: I believe the the number we came up with that

185
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: would be a winning number for Antonio Pearce and the

186
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders would be four to five games. Win

187
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: four to five games. You're in and you move forward

188
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: and see what happens in terms of how you built

189
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: in shape.

190
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: If they do that, they do that. They cooking with

191
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: grease speaking like the Raiders aren't. The defense is playing well.

192
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: They just need some production from the offensive side of

193
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: the ball, and they gonna start the rookie Ain't O'Connell

194
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: out of Purdue.

195
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: Not very mobile, but he can throw the football. And so.

196
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: This new offensive coordinator, who I believe was the quarterback coach,

197
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: he should have a rapport with him. He should have

198
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: spent a ton of time with him, considering he's a rookie,

199
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: so you know what he likes, what he doesn't like,

200
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: what he does well, what he doesn't do well, and

201
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: so that cohesiveness should be there. And so is it

202
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: fitting though ap wins the Super Bowl with the Giants,

203
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 3: in his first game as a head coach in the

204
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: National Football League will come against the New York Giants,

205
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: and so things tend to come full circle for him.

206
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure to be mixed emotions first head coaching game,

207
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: but it's going against the team that he won that

208
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: Super Bowl with, a team that he has a lot

209
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: of respect for. But I'm rooting for him. I hope

210
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: he does well the Raiders. If the Raiders, I got

211
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: a lot of friends that the Raider fans, right, yes

212
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: we did. It's so what's up shuts up to about?

213
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: And so the Raiders, man, they'll be losing games, and

214
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: they fansy, they loyal to the end.

215
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna get them next week. They're losing, We're gonna

216
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: get him next week.

217
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 3: And so with Ap now as a head coach, it's

218
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: a renewed energy that they have all been in the

219
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: middle of the season. It's a renewed energy. And so

220
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: if he can get this w tomorrow, man, the Raider

221
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: fans and Raider Nation, they will be so optimistic about

222
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 3: what's to come in the future. Imagine him getting his

223
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: first win against his old team that he won a

224
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 3: Super Bowl with in the New York Giants. So me

225
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: and Ap been connected for a long time too. We

226
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 3: go back to college. We played against each other. We

227
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: were teammates in Washington, then we were teammates in New

228
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: York City. He was actually the reason why I chose

229
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: New York over the Green Bay Packers for the end

230
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: of my career. I wish them all the best. I

231
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:29,760

286
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: had a spirited debate yesterday, super super spirited. I think

287
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: it may continue on into this show today. So without

288
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: further ado, let's bring in our guy NBA analysts. And

289
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: we haven't got a hold of him yet. Okay, we're

290
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,680

292
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: What you got, Tej? You see that Montesa Sweat just

293
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: so bears, Yes, how I feel about that ninety million

294
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: base No, four years, one hundred million, basically twenty five

295
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: million a year.

296
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 3: Hopefully he can turn into the player that his athletic talent.

297
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: Man Sweat's been a g in in Washington. Man.

298
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he doesn't put up sack numbers like when

299
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: you pay a defensive end that type of number you

300
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: need sacks.

301
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: I won't disagree with you there, But Montas Sweat be

302
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: balling for for the Washington command He was balling for

303
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. Man, that dude's a difference maker. I

304
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: got I gotta say that. I mean, not dude. He's

305
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: been a consistent difference maker for them.

306
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: But do you do you want your defensive ends to

307
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: sack the quarterback?

308
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: I want them to wreck plays. That's my main focus.

309
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: Is the first and foremost thing I want you to do,

310
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: which may not always show in the stat lines of

311
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: tackles for loss or sacks. I want you to be

312
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: so disruptive that even if it's other players that are

313
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: benefiting from that and getting sacks and getting tackles for losses,

314
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: it's still on film that you are a disruptive player.

315
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Montes is what developed and

316
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: established in Washington.

317
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 3: I will say that. So yeah, but let's do this.

318
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: Let's just his fifth season, has never had double digit sacks.

319
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: I mean, hopefully this year can be the year. He

320
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 3: already has six and a half sacks, so hopefully this may.

321
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 7: Be the year.

322
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: But well, he got rewarded for it. He didn't go

323
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: to the greatest of organizations. It's not like he took

324
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: a step up. Now, your boy, Chase Young, that's a

325
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: hell of a step up. Even though this San Francisco

326
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: team is suffering and kind of struggling right now to

327
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: kind of figure things out. But let's just have the

328
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 1: conversation in the basketball arena instead of the football arena.

329
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: But shouts out to montes Uh Sweat for getting that

330
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: new contract with with the Chicago Bears. Maybe they're going

331
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: in the right direction. But who's going in the right

332
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: direction this early in the season for the NBA? Who's

333
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: going to win this playing tournament? I mean, no one

334
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: better to talk about it than our guy from Some

Speaker 7: Well, you know, we saw the game the other night.

349
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 7: Kawhi Leonard came out like a cyboard. You know, he

350
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 7: was hot in the first quarter. But you know that

351
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 7: the La Clippers have dominated the Lakers the last like

352
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 7: leven matchup, So that was a big win for the Lakers.

353
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 7: Lebron looking like year like he's in year three, year four,

354
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,240

00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 7: Carter and those guys were at that age thirty eight,

359
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 7: thirty nine. They didn't look like this, and those guys

360
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 7: were super athletes as well. But it's been amazing. Anthony

361
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 7: Davis is playing like the defensive Player of the Year

362
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 7: and the MVP candidate right now. We've never seen that

363
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 7: from a guy where he can win both awards. I

364
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,640

Speaker 3: It's different this end season tournament for me is it's

369
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,760

00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 3: the court. I mean, and they're telling you it's different

371
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 3: by the court. The court, the court is telling you

372
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: like this, it looked like it was like what like

00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 3: a cartoon land or like.

374
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 7: You you know what I said, guys, It looked like

375
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 7: space jam. But it also looked like when I first

376
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 7: turned to it last night on the on the TV

377
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 7: in four K, it looked like they were playing basketball

378
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 7: in the middle of the ocean and Turk and kkos like,

379
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 7: it looked like it.

380
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: Was in the middle of the ocean, clear water there.

381
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you, Let me ask you

382
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: all this, would the Las Vegas Aces be able to

00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: play their way into uh winning the play in tournament?

384
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 7: Hey look, hey, Lay Travis, Clay, Travis, whatever your name is, man,

385
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 7: come on, knock it off, man, like, give more respect

386
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 7: to the ladies. Man, the ladies. We got some real

387
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 7: hoops out there. Shut out to to the Vegas Ages.

388
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 7: I know some of the ladies on the team, Alisha

389
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 7: Clark sixth Women of the Year, Sidney coach, and shout

00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 7: out to those ladies man, back to back, back to back.

391
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 7: It's hard to do, all.

392
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: Right, let me put this in context. So we could

393
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: have this conversation because we've had spirited conversations if you

394
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: want to hear the spirited conversations which had explicitives in

395
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: it and everything it was. It was a real vibe

396
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: like it was a real trash talk debate session that

397
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: took place on Up on Game. You could check that

398
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: out the latest edition on on the podcast wherever it

399
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: is you get your podcast. So Clay, Tom Clay, Travis

400
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: Clay of out Kick had some very very interesting words

401
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: to say about how relevant and how good w NBA

402
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: players are and basically said, nobody cares about the WNBA

403
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: and that team of hitch choice, a championship team in

404
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: high school of his choice, would be able to beat

405
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Aces in a game up and up,

406
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: which the Las Vegas Ace has won the WNBA Championship.

407
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: That became an opinionated conversation. You guys fall on you

408
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: and TJ fall on the side of the women's team

409
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: would win if they were to play.

410
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: Tell me why, personally, No, go ahead, cuffs, you got it,

411
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: go ahead, go ahead, man.

412
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 7: I just think the ladies need more respect because if

413
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 7: you take Aja Wilson and those aces, Kelsey Plumb, Chelsea Grave,

414
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 7: you take those ladies to a rural town in Wisconsin

415
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 7: somewhere and you play against a high school state championship

416
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 7: boys team, those ladies are gonna annihilate those boys. They

417
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 7: they like I always say about little shoulders, they shoulder

418
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 7: is not gonna be big enough. Like they're gonna get

419
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 7: punished out there, physicality wise and IQ wise.

420
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: That's the biggest thing. It's in between the ears. What

421
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: these ladies know about the game of basketball, the work ethic.

422
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 3: This is the job for them. It's a hobby for

423
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: a lot of high school kids until it becomes a

424
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: job like these ladies is what they Yeah, breathing sleep

425
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: is basketball. They don't have to go to school. They

426
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: gonna train and they get better at basketball. And so

427
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: I'm rolling with the ladies in this. Now, there are

428
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: some really good high school players, some really good high

429
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 3: school teams. Yeah, they may be more athletic, but the

430
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 3: IQ and the understanding of the game of basketball, you

431
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: can't take that for granted that that's where they're advantage

432
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: will be. And so I'm rolling with the ladies on this.

433
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 3: If this game was to ever take place, Clay Travis

434
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: may be surprised.

435
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: So I was just looking up Mount Verdi, all right,

436
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: and that's a that's an elite basketball program in Florida,

437
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: all right, y'all like to throw out like like things

438
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: that kind of make skew kind of what Clay said. Now,

439
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: while I'm I mean, I'm not a Klay Travis, you know,

440
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: apologist or even a fan. I respect what he does.

441
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: But when I stopped and thought about it and I

442
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: ran it through my mind, I found it to be

443
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: very very a very very intriguing conversation because while I'll

444
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: agree with you, Cuffs, if it's just a regular rural

445
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin state chance, does it matter who it is, man,

446
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: It does matter. It does matter. It certainly matters, because

447
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: if you're going to one of the elite of most

448
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: elite programs, which that would be the only program that

449
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: I would say this argument makes it matter is because

450
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: of private school, private school politics, and private school power.

451
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: If you have unlimited resources that are governing that school,

452
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: the IMGs, the Mount Verdiy Academies, there's a few more

453
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: out there that you know are really really elite programs

454
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: that are driven by a lot of dollars coming from

455
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: apparel companies like footwear companies and other businesses that benefit

456
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: from the high level of play that these schools have

457
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: in producing their prospects and players. You're going to have

458
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: NBA prospects playing on your team. They're going to be

459
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: littered all throughout your team. If all things given, you

460
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: have a state championship caliber team that Clay chooses, and

461
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: it's like one of those teams like that. There's a

462
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: team out of Missouri called, I want to say Link Links,

463
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: the Links team. It's a private school team out of Missouri.

464
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: They're the number one rated team in the country right now,

465
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: and I believe they won the championship last year, but

466
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: or maybe they were the national champions les doesn't matter.

467
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Here's the reason why I think it matters.

468
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: The reason why I think it matters is because the tallest,

469
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: the tallest girl, the tallest woman on on this team.

470
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: Who Why do you think the hype matters? Heype matters?

471
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: Because it's like it's like asking why does heype matter

472
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: with an offensive linement or with a quarterback. While you

473
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: may have exceptions to the rule, you'll have a couple

474
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: exceptions if you're if you're talking about talent level, skill level,

475
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: and ability to do things on the basketball court, I

476
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: think heype matters. I think it does matter if a

477
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: six four six fourth center or six to four power

478
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: forward is going up against a six nine six '

479
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: ten six eleven center or six nine six air work.

480
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: That matters everybody.

481
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: Everybody always says the same thing in any sport, it's

482
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 3: more mental than physical. And we can all agree that

483
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 3: the ladies have a mental advantage, but you want to

484
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: go to the height that's a.

485
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: Physical That's my first My first point of introduced is,

486
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 1: first of all, it's going to be all physical attributes

487
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: that are going to be the difference in between and

488
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: the reasoning why at w NBA team would so lose.

489
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 3: You don't think top and you don't think the IQ team.

490
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: You don't believe the IQ will come into play then

491
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 3: that's what I believe.

492
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: The IQ would would be the reason why it's a

493
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: close game. I don't believe the IQ would be the

494
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: reason why they win. I think, in one.

495
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 7: Money, my money on Candas Parker. I think I put

496
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 7: my money on Candas Parker.

497
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: Bros.

498
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: Asia Wilson gonna punish them boys down low. Man, She's

499
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 3: gonna punish him.

500
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 7: I got I just don't.

501
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: Maybe I have a very hard time comprehending you know

502
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: how that would play out with dudes that can jump

503
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: out of the gym, that can shoot the lights out,

504
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: and they're in the same high school. Like, we're not

505
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: talking a state championship team that has one player that

506
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: can dominate the entire game and take them to a

507
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: state title. I'm talking about an elite program that has

508
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: Division one players at every position, that has at least

509
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: one or two guys that are going to play in

510
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: the NBA. Within keep in mind the next year or two,

511
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: they'll put one year in college and then they'll go

512
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: to the pros. You're talking about guys that are ready

513
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: to go to the pros right now that are in

514
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: high school. I don't see them being able to beat

515
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't see the WNBA players as professional women's basketball players.

516
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: Being able to beat the most elite teams maybe two

517
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: or three in the country that are high school teams

518
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: make me sound crazy, like I just don't see it.

519
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 7: I know where they can beat. I know who mant

520
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 7: verd and those great high school teams probably can be

521
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 7: right now. They probably can beat the Memphis Grizzlies right now,

522
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 7: You stupid Memphis Grizzy looking sad man?

523
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: Why is that? It's because they don't got jah? What's

524
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: what's the problem yet?

525
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 7: Job John Moran, y'all? Like, look, John Moran, he hasn't

526
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 7: played a game this season, but he's an MVP candidate

527
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 7: right now without playing any games. He suspended twenty five games.

528
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 7: He suspended the first twenty five games. Marcus Smart is

529
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 7: on the court crying last night. He is not used

530
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 7: to losing the O and six. The JIGG is hovering

531
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 7: on Memphis man. So John Moranda MVP right now?

532
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, man, Memphis has not won a game.

533
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 3: If they if when John Moran comes back, if they

534
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: start winning, Oh my god, he means that much to

535
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 3: the team. Like John Moran is a phenomenal talent, but wow, did.

536
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: He mean this much? Or or or cuffs.

537
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: What's Dylan Brook's really just underrated for his defense and

538
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: what he brought to the team.

539
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,640

00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 7: there to those young Houston Rockets. But Jabari Smith Jalen Green, like,

544

594
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 8: passionate take on the Eagles Cowboys rival ring. It turned

595
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 8: out that Peter is a police officer and was calling

596
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,680

Speaker 8: listen to this.

598
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,800

00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: to hate the Cowboys.

600
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,840

Speaker 1: the division. This could be the home why or not?

606
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,160

607
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,680

646
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: me tell you something that's a pretty tremendous development if

647
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: you're a business person in a brand, to be able

648
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: to connect your brand to the NBA. What was your

649
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: first opinion, then, what was your first take when you

650
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: heard this news that Skims And in fact, I heard

651
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: that Skims is on one of the courts. Now I

652
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: don't know which court it is in the NBA, but

653
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: I hear Skims is actually on the court, the actual court,

654
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: and that's being branded and so so it's there. What's

655
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: your take on this, DJ?

656
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: I don't really have a take really, but I was

657
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 3: watching the game. It was game one and I don't

658
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 3: recall which game it was. It was like the first

659
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: day of the games of the season for the NBA,

660
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 3: and I saw Skims on the court and I was like, wait,

661
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 3: I didn't know what Skims.

662
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: Was Lakers and Bucks, Lakers and Bucks, and so I

663
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: didn't know what Skims was it.

664
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 3: So my wife sits down and she starts watching the

665
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: game and she was like, what a Skim's doing on

666
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: the court?

667
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what's that?

668
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: And so she explained it to me, and I was like,

669
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: oh wow, she must be a sponsor because she was like,

670
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: that's Kim Kardashian stuff, and I was like, they must

671
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: be a sponsor. And so when you see anything on

672
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 3: the court, automatically you know it's a sponsor. And to

673
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: be on the court, she is paying the NBA big bread.

674
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: And she's going to be making big bread because forgetting

675
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: that I didn't know what SKIMS was.

676
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: Now I do, and so so many people that see

677
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 3: that skims on the court, they are going to know

678
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 3: what it is if they didn't know, if they were

679
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 3: in the dark like I was. And so anytime you

680
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:37,479
Speaker 3: can attach your product with the NFL the NBA, your

681
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 3: product is going to grow. So I expect their product

682
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: to grow and grow at a fast rate. Many when

683
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: I tell you they just do great business man, they're smart.

684
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: You got to give them their credit. They're smart women.

685
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 3: And to be partnered with the NBA is a great

686
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: decision on her behalf and obviously financially on the NBA,

687
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's a great decision on there beaf as well.

688
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting the phenomenon of the phenomenon of

689
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: influencers that are outside the realm and the parameters of

690
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: sports becoming the biggest drivers of sports. We saw it

691
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: start to take place in boxing. You know, you saw

692
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: how the brothers what what what's their names? Why am

693
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: I blanking on their names right now? The two brothers

694
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: is Charlot No, no, no, they're not even boxers. They're

695
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: they're they're influencers. The two influencers that was Bobby, Yeah,

696
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: the Paul brothers, right, huh oh, Jake Paul and right,

697
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: you're right, right, logan them, Jake. They they they created

698
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: a different view and a different vantage point of how

699
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: we view boxing because at first we was just like, man,

700
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: this is a joke that a die. These these fights

701
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: are fixed. And regardless of if they were or if

702
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: they weren't, them dudes opened up entirely different uh market

703
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: and clientele and fan base to the sport. And it

704
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: was like, huh, if the Paul brothers could get out here, fight,

705
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: do well and bring and I'm talking millions, millions upon

706
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: millions of people who probably did not take the time

707
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: to pay attention to what was going on in the

708
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: sport of boxing, now all of a sudden are paying

709
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: attention to boxing because of the Paul Brothers. Now fast forward,

710
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: It's like, huh, the NFL ain't going to just let

711
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: boxing get get that type of movements. So they do

712
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: their own version of it, and they bring in Taylor

713
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Taylor Smith. Wait, wait, hold on, it is it Taylor Smith.

714
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: Wait wait, Taylor Swift. They bring in Swift, and now

715
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: you have opened up the NFL to the Swifties. And

716
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: that's millions upon millions of fans that wouldn't have been

717
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: watching NFL game, wouldn't have known any of the player's names,

718
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: but now are aware of the NFL and actually Mike

719
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: like watching the games or the things that are associated

720
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: with the game. And now you're looking at the you know,

721
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: the ratings go up, You're looking at the sales of

722
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: jerseys going up, the profile of Travis Kelsey's gone all

723
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 1: the way up, and lo and behold, the NBA gets

724
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: involved by involving Kim Kardashian TJ. I mean, I think

725
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty brilliant marketing on their behalf, because well, the

726
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: blueprint has already been set by the Paul Brothers and

727
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: then now it's been taken to a whole nother level

728
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: by Taylor Swift. Yeah. Man, it's.

729
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 3: If you can, but you got to understand it's somewhat

730
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 3: different because the Skims they are paying the NBA, the

731
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 3: Paul Brothers are being Hey, don't be don't.

732
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: Be surprised at Taylor Swift's people ain't paying for what

733
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: they got going on.

734
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 3: Hey, man, need these relationships are beneficial to both sides. Yea,

735
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: they market her album, she comes to the games and

736
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 3: brings them more publicity.

737
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: We're talking Taylor.

738
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 3: Swift and so it's a mutual beneficial relationship for both sides.

739
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, what to see the Skims thing? Like I said, man,

740
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 3: I had no idea, no idea what it was.

741
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: Now you do. And if you have an idea of

742
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,000
