00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: your day. Nick right in an hour Lakers on a heater,

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: I told you all summer in August. Do you remember

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: I said, I have a source inside the building in

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: Philadelphia that I trust implicit. Someday, if I write another book,

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: I'll put an I'll put in the source on this.

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: It'll be a good laugh for all of us. And

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: he said Jalen Hurts, tough to coach, not well liked, stubborn,

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: and Howie Roseman is very aware of it. Well, what

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: do you know? People are talking, Jeremy Fowler ESPN. It's

20
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: finally coming out. The truth always does, I think, largely

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: because there are butts on the line going into the season,

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: including the head coach Nick Seriani. According to Fowler and

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: multiple sources quote, Jalen has pushed back on changes that

24
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: would diversify the scheme, including when it comes to him

25
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: coming under center. More he showed a reluctance to let

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: it rip, particularly against own coverage. He diverts from the

27
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: game plan. He changes play calls to what many feel

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: is an excessive degree. This is exactly what I was told.

29
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: And when does the truth come out when people think

30
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: their jobs are in trouble, when people get replaced, when

31
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: people are somewhere get blamed for something and they're out

32
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: of town, they moved to another job, then they'll talk.

33
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: So and this is a reporter that I trust. So

34
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: this is what I was told, is that it's starting

35
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: to feel very Russell Wilson in Seattle, where the quarterback

36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: who has critics is getting all the credit and the

37
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: rosters stacked, and when they do infrequently lose, the roster

38
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: gets the blame and the quarterback doesn't. If you go

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: back two seasons, Saquon Barkley carried the team, the offensive

40
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: line was stacked, and the defensive line was setting records,

41
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: but it was Jalen Hirsch getting the Tush Push Super

42
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP, even though we now know over the last

43
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: two years off bys the Eagles want to throw less.

44
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: So Barkley didn't get enough love. The D line and

45
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: O line were dominating. But who got two hundred and

46
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: fifty five million, Who's getting the commercials, who's getting the

47
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: magazine covers. It feels very Russell Wilson in Seattle and

48
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: GM Howie Roseman very reluctant. If you notice the trade,

49
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: AJ Brown, I've been saying this for two years. I

50
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: don't get it. Now I do. AJ Brown. The general

51
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: managers like, that's not the issue. So the truth comes out.

52
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: We're going into a season where if Nick, I mean

53
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: last year, he was coming off a Super Bowl win,

54
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's job was not in jeopardy. But in Philadelphia

55
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: they move off quarterbacks, and they move off head coaches

56
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: that win trophies, that get to Super Bowls. So this

57
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: is really really interesting. And the Eagles, despite a completely

58
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: stacked offensive roster, were below the Saints last year offensively

59
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: yards per game twenty fourth three and outs next to

60
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: last in the league. Dent tied for twenty seven. You

61
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: can't do that with that old line, aj Brown, Sakwan Barkley,

62
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Devonte Smith. I mean, what is it about this thing

63
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: about Jalen Hurts where he's always being protected? Look at

64
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: those numbers. That's worse than the Saints who are starting

65
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. And never forget remember Derek Gunn, the

66
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Eagle reporter, in November went on Seth Joyner, the Former

67
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: Eagle Show. He was way ahead of this. A month later.

68
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: Excuse me, several months later I started hearing things. Then

69
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: in August I really heard stuff. But here was here

70
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: was you know, in August, I heard it in November.

71
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: I'll get my month straight. Here is Derek Gunn, the

72
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Eagles reporter, on Herts.

73
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 3: Those things that dissected on film during practice, those things

74
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 3: that talked about among the quarterback coach, the offensive coordinated

75
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: a head coach. It has been instantly discussed all season long.

76
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: Yet when they transition to a field on a football game,

77
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: he plays his game, not the game the coaches want

78
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: him to play. And you look at a lot of quarterbacks,

79
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: they're gonna sling it, They're gonna try to throw it

80
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: through an eye of a needle. Sometimes you just have

81
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: to take that chance. That's not his game. That's why

82
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: he stands back there. A lot of times he's patting

83
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: the ball, patting the ball, and it throws the time

84
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: into the office off. The rhythm is thrown off. I

85
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: don't think that this one they can't get him.

86
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: Out of there. You go, that's there a gunn that's

87
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: the article. So it really does have a Russell Wilson

88
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Seattle Field where you've got a very talented guy, probably

89
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: a better runner than to sit in the pocket guy

90
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: and getting a lot of credit, getting commercials, getting a

91
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: big contract, getting the love, and when they lose, it's

92
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: not really his fault. Truth always comes out. And I

93
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: think this year Philadelphia has always been hyper aggressive on

94
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: moves with quarterbacks and coaches, and I think enough guys

95
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: have gotten fired, coordinators have gotten run out. They're talking now.

96
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: And never forget this. In pro sports, there's so much money.

97
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: People protect themselves and their reputations, and when they get

98
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: let go as a coordinator and they get all the blame,

99
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: they start talking. That's the way the game works. Okay,

100
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: So the Lakers won last night clawberd Cleveland fifteen and

101
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: two in March, and I know J McK and I

102
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: talked about this. First of all, it does seem like

103
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers play almost all their games at home, but

104
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into that. Only NBA team

105
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: that played, you know, like seventy four games at home

106
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: and six on the road. Whatever. I'm not going to

107
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: get into that. But they want again, they're red hot

108
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: in March. So let's look at the Western Conference standings

109
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: before we look at the highlights the Western Conference standings. Okay,

110
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: ce Spurs, Lakers, Denver, Minnesota, Houston Sons, Clippers, and you

111
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: know also Rents. Okay, here's the key on this thing.

112
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: Look at the Tea Wolves at five, in the Rockets

113
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: at six, both forty six and twenty nine. You do

114
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: know who the Lakers want to play because the best

115
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: matchup of any of these teams, and you can go

116
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: all the way down to the Warriors, maybe the best

117
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: matchup for the Lakers are the Rockets because the Rockets

118
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: don't have a legitimate scoring threat at guard. I mean,

119
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: Thompson's great, but he's not a refined offensive player. So

120
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: that means Luca and Austin Reeves will not be attacked

121
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: in the series, which leaves Luca and Austin reeves to

122
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: spend their energy on the offensive end. You do not

123
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: want to play Minnesota, who clubbered the Lakers last year. Now,

124
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: LA's played them better this year, but a couple of

125
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: the wins are in October. So Houston is the perfect

126
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: team for the Lakers to play. And you saw it,

127
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, last night. The Lakers do it a remarkable

128
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: job to get into their offense. Why because Lebron, Austin

129
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: and Luca can all do it equally well. They're all

130
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: great ball handlers, they're all play initiators, They're all good

131
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: at creating foul shot opportunities. Lakers are half court offense,

132
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: as good as anybody in the league at getting into

133
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: their offense and scoring clutch points. They've got like three

134
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: point guards, all different dimensions. Lebron size, Austin Reeves, grittiness,

135
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: and Lucas brilliants, especially in scoring. So the Lakers are

136
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: a very unique offensive team. It's well documented their defensive issues.

137
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: Houston has no true point guard. They're terrible in clutch situations,

138
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: third worst in the league. They're third worst in the

139
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: league in one possession games. I think the Lakers may

140
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: be the best team in the league in one possession games.

141
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: Lakers are great in clutch scoring. Rockets are not good

142
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: in clutch scoring. That's all about who's got the ball,

143
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: who's your quarterback. The Lakers have three, the Rockets have none.

144
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: So Houston's a perfect matchup for the Lakers because clutch

145
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: scoring matters in the playoffs. Getting into your offense late

146
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: in possessions is key to the offense. Lakers are masterful

147
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: at it. Meanwhile, the te Wolves are not a good matchup,

148
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: despite the Lakers having won the season series this year,

149
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: because Ant forces Luca and Austin Reeves to spend so

150
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: much of their energy on the defensive end in that series. Plus,

151
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: I think they have the better head coach and Chris Finch,

152
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: so so last night's fine March is amazing. My take

153
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: is this, fifteen and two in March. If they play

154
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: the Rockets, that fifteen to two is gonna feel pure

155
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: and truthful. But if they play Minnesota, that fifteen and

156
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: two in March could feel like fools go like, well,

157
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: well what did I watch? What you're watching is a

158
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: Laker team that has lobsided, brilliant in a half court offense,

159
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: majestic and clutch shooting. Maybe the best team in the league.

160
00:09:51,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: Three pronged at initiating foul opportunities, good looks, a rotation.

161
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean they are just a lobsided team. Their strength

162
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: is the Rockets weakness. The Tea Wolves strength goes right

163
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: at the Lakers weakness stopping great guard scoring s g A,

164
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: s G A. Thank god the Lakers have Luca, because

165
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: if they had to guard him, they didn't be in

166
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: big trouble. Here's JJ Reddick on the win and March.

167
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: It was a confluence of things, starting with health. I

168
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: think it's much easier when you have a consistent stretch

169
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 4: of health to sort of not not buy not even

170
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 4: buy in, but settle in two roles, in minutes and rotations.

171
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: We never found that throughout the season.

172
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: Uh you know we we've this happens all the time.

173
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 5: Uh.

174
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: Great styles make great fights is a term that's often

175
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: used in boxing. But when you have a team that

176
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: is gifted in one area and incredibly lacking in another.

177
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: The Lakers, who they plan that first round this last

178
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: ten days of the NBA season, are going to be fascinating.

179
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: They are a perfect matchup to beat the Rockets. Yet

180
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the Tea Wolves could give them huge, huge problems. All right,

181
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: Jay Mac, I know you have four years been a

182
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts advocate, devoted Jalen Hurts fan. What do you

183
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: make of the story that is coming out? I talked

184
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: about it in August, November, Derek Gunn. Now Here we

185
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: are in March, where again when multiple coordinators take the

186
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: hit for Jalen Hurts. And I'm not in any way

187
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: saying they're a source, but you know how the game works.

188
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: I remember years ago I broke a story in Portland

189
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: about Bob Whitzit being let go the GM, and the

190
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: way I broke it was a former Blazer employee that

191
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: wits it fired, right, Like that's the way to break stories.

192
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: So whenever you see a team making multiple changes in

193
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: multiple years, if you want to, if you want to

194
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: find a source, go talk to people who are gonna

195
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: protect their I mean, these are great jobs, their seven

196
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: figure jobs. They're gonna protect their reputation, they're gonna protect

197
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: their career. And there's been a lot of movement in

198
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and people are obviously talking to Jeremy Fowler.

199
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, clearly it's not a great story. Calling doesn't look

200
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 6: amazing for Jalen Hurts. It is interesting. This is the

201
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 6: second quarterback we've seen in the last four months who

202
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: a lot of negative stuff has come out about. Remember

203
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 6: the Lamar Jackson story in the Baltimore Sun.

204
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: Both next thing, you know, local reporters local or maybe

205
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't the son, but uh ended up.

206
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 6: Hardball gets fired. We'll see what happens. I'm a I'm

207
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 6: a Jalen Hurt truther, and I got you all hot

208
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 6: and bothered before the show when I said there would

209
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 6: be a robust market for Jalen Hurts should the Eagles

210
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 6: want to move off of them. I just jotted down

211
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 6: thirteen teams who could be interested at the end of

212
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 6: this season.

213
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: But can't. You can't count UFL teams and I know

214
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: you clem to seven teams in that league.

215
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 6: Wow, wow, you are anti Hertz anti party.

216
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 7: I do like this little little game we got going on.

217
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 6: I like the underdog, You like the elites, You love

218
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 6: the favorites, the big guys.

219
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So new technology is cool and it can

220
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: be scary. People are talking about job displacement with AI.

221
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: This ABS system in baseball on several fronts is utterly fascinating.

222
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: And last night another regrettable moment by a singular umpire

223
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: that is next in the hurt.

224
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,760

236
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: Well, I almost feel bad for our radio audience for

237
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: the next couple of minutes because you almost have to

238
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: see this to believe it. New technology is both cool

239
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: and scary. It creates new efficiencies, it speeds up our life,

240
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: and it's scary. There's job displacement, so baseball creates the

241
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: ABS system. I think it's great. Most people do. One

242
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: umpire in particular, has been exposed C B. Buckner. He

243
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: had a terrible weekend in the Red Red Sox series

244
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: multiple times he got corrected. It's bat and I don't

245
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: mean to pick on him, but he butchered a call

246
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: so badly last night in the Brewers game. And you

247
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: will see this that both managers started laughing, and that

248
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, managers don't laugh much, especially when their team

249
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: gets screwed. Let's play what happened in Milwaukee last night.

250
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: It is hard to unsee. Just watch.

251
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: Bowers.

252
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 8: Oh, I did love with Williamson throw.

253
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 10: It's the first it's wide, it's backed up by four

254
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 10: as that should be a vasive for ballaries.

255
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 8: Runner did not touch first base and then put out.

256
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 10: So the call from Cebe Buckner is that Jake Bowers

257
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 10: missed first base and then was tagged out, not that

258
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 10: he made a move to second base right and was

259
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 10: tagged he had that he flat out missed the bag.

260
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 11: And I think that is the horrendous call. Where is

261
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 11: Cebe Buckner looking?

262
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: He's not even looking at it.

263
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: Why would he even say that C. B.

264
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 8: Buckner was not even looking at the play.

265
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what C. B.

266
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 12: Buckner's looking at there.

267
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.

268
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 8: Well, I'm really excited for him to have the plate tomorrow.

269
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Everybody laughing at that call. I've never seen anything like

270
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: that in my life. Here is, here is Jake Bowers

271
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: should be furious. Here he is after the game.

272
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 7: You guys are trying to get me in trouble.

273
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: Man. I don't know, I don't know what happens.

274
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 13: I'm just thankful, thankful to get on base.

275
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: Okay that I'm not trying to pick on him, but

276
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: that professional sports is the best of the best. If

277
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: players can be demoted and managers fired, ce B Buckner

278
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: can not be a major leagumpire. By the way, there's

279
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: an online database that every day in the baseball season

280
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: grades umpires. In the last five years, CEB Buckner has

281
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: been the worst in the sport. It's not fair to

282
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: the players, it's not fair to the managers, it's not

283
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: fair to the fans. And by the way, that database

284
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: no longer just lives on the world Wide Web, some

285
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: obscure domain. It's all of us every night are seeing it.

286
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: National television, regional television. It's not personal. But listen, people

287
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: aged quickly, people get out of step. People are inefficient.

288
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: But this weekend, Cebe Buckner had twenty six missed calls.

289
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: Six because of the ABS system. Thank god we're overturned.

290
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: That's still twenty missed calls in Saturday's game, not the

291
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: weekend series in Saturday's game. You know what there's got

292
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: to be I mean, listen, some jobs go away. I

293
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: mean Ai reportedly the Houston Astros are thinking of replacing

294
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: the guy who bangs the garbage cans. AI is going

295
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: to eliminate that job. So I mean, some jobs just

296
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: go away. But this is just this is when the

297
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: managers and the players are laughing, like that's that's sad.

298
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: Let's make a move. Baseball. Jmack with the.

299
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: News, No, no turn, this is the headline news.

300
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, any anytime you know the names, like readily know

301
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 6: the names of officials and referees. Not great, Colin, not

302
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 6: great in any sport. All right, let's start with the NBA.

303
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 6: Also not great. My knicks, Colin. They lost to the

304
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 6: Rockets last night, third straight loss. It wasn't particularly close.

305
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 6: Something's going on. I was hoping this was just like

306
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 6: a late season funk that they're in, but there could

307
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: be bigger issues. They were down fourteen to one from

308
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 6: the jump. Yeah, got back in the game, but then

309
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 6: you know it wasn't close to the end. Here's Josh

310
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 6: Hart calling out the team afterwards.

311
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 12: I just think we're not we're not going in our direction.

312
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 12: We're not trying to upwards, you know. So we got

313
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 12: to figure it out. You know, it was three tough ones.

314
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 12: We got another one tomorrow. You know, that's a must

315
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 12: one for us. That effort, the attention to detail, the

316
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 12: discipline was was was pretty embarrassing. So we got to

317
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 12: figure it out. Make sure we're all locked in, you know, mentally,

318
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 12: to get in to where we want to go.

319
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Listen, they're not j mac. I think you're onto something.

320
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: They're not just losing. They've lost three straight by double figures.

321
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: And for Josh Hart, who's a smart kid, you know,

322
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: he Josh is. He's not a guy that's gonna pull punches.

323
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: He is a you know, this team's got some really,

324
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: this is a high IQ team. You got Villanova guys everywhere,

325
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: you got a veteran coach. For Josh Hart to come

326
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: out and say that there is something wrong on the plane,

327
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: in the room, camaraderie, chemistry, there is something right. The

328
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: Knicks have too much talent to be getting hammered like this.

329
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 6: So the easy guy to knock. Here is Karl Anthony Towns.

330
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 6: He doesn't fit, and then there's the Yannis stuff. I

331
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 6: do want to go a place I don't think guys

332
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 6: you think I'll go.

333
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 7: I love Jalen Brunson.

334
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 6: I'm a huge fan of Jalen bruns He was extraordinary

335
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 6: last year.

336
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: Colin.

337
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, his numbers are a bit down this year, and

338
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 6: you watch the way people are defending him.

339
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 7: He's not cooking everyone like he was last year. Last

340
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 7: year he was dominant. I don't know.

341
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 6: I'm not saying the book is out on hurt Gudsend

342
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 6: and how to slow him down. But he does feel like, hey,

343
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 6: we don't care about the other guys go get yours.

344
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 7: We're not letting Brunson. And you know that whole knock.

345
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 6: He's a small guard, and sometimes small guards can't win championship.

346
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 7: I just wonder they're not going to move off him.

347
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 6: He's not the problem, but it feels like he was

348
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 6: their best thing going well and he's been shut down.

349
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, he's still great. Let's he's still great. Let's

350
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: say this. Would you and I both agree that because

351
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: of his size and he is incredibly ball centric, that

352
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: he will age quickly that he will and you can

353
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: attack him. So teams attack him. He needs the ball,

354
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: and that has always been a problem in this league

355
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: with high usage rate. You know, the last person to

356
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: be a top high usage rate guy and win a

357
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: title was mj He was number one in usage. Right,

358
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: it was like late eighties or something. What was it,

359
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: What year was it not?

360
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 6: Eight?

361
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan ninety eight. So my my take here is

362
00:21:53,359 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: that this is why the roster needs some reconstruction. This

363
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: is why, by the way, if Jalen Brunson had Yannis

364
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: behind him, well, so what if you pick on him.

365
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 1: If you pick on him, now you get exposed. If

366
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: you pick on Jalen Brunson, now you will be productive

367
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: on the offensive end because they don't have a defensive

368
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: stopper because they need Carl Anthony out there for most

369
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: of the game because he's their second score. Right, But

370
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: if you had Yannis behind him, so what, go ahead

371
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: and cook Jalen Brunson. They got a rim protector. Teams

372
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: would attack the Knicks differently. So he gets attacked in

373
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: the pick and roll, he gets attacked. Now you're gonna

374
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: play the Knicks differently. If Yannis was on the court.

375
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: That's why I think Yannis fits here. Brunson you got

376
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: about could I argue you got three great years of

377
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: Brunson left based on his style, two or three really

378
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: good years. That's what Yannis has.

379
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 7: It's a tough one. Listen. I think the Knicks are

380
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 7: going to be fine. I'm not selling them.

381
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 6: I do believe, yes, I mean I picked them to

382
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 6: go to the finals before the season. I think it's

383
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 6: still possible. I just don't know that.

384
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 7: I don't know what's going on here Colin.

385
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 6: Now, they have played three playoff teams and they've lost

386
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 6: them all. But you see a team like the Lakers

387
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 6: doing the opposite, beating a.

388
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 7: Bunch of playoff teams. So I don't know. It just

389
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 7: does not a great.

390
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 6: Feeling in New York right now. Karl Anthony Towns on

391
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 6: the trade block. Well, we'll see what happens. Fun off

392
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 6: season ahead. Let's move to the NFL, Colin, where Jim

393
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 6: Harbaugh and the Chargers. They brought in Mike McDaniel is

394
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 6: their OC. I think you and I agreed this is

395
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 6: probably the best coordinator high or higher.

396
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 7: Yeah.

397
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 6: So the pairing of interesting personalities, shall we say, mixed

398
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 6: for a fun combo. Harball is recognizing the benefits of

399
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 6: having him on staff already.

400
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 14: Awesome, awesome with the capital A really been doing a

401
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 14: lot of listening, a lot of learning, a lot of

402
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 14: a lot of leaning into how he sees football because it's, uh,

403
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 14: it's really brilliant and it's a and it is what

404
00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 14: I really thought. It was just a perfect combination Mike

405
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 14: McDaniel and Justin Herbert.

406
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: Now, I think, you know, this is what I love

407
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: about Harwall. He's really grown so much as a guy

408
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: and a coach. I mean, he's always had a certain

409
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: dogma and belief, but I mean for a guy like

410
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: him to bring in Mike McDaniel, he's like, yeah, I'm

411
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: just sitting learning from him. I'm a sponge. I'm soaking

412
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: it up. And the other thing about Harba, there's no

413
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: ego here. He loves Justin Herbert. When they lose Jim,

414
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: Harbaugh feels guilty that he didn't get his superman in

415
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: the right spot because Jim's got the money, the legacy,

416
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: the national championship. Only thing missing is a super Bowl.

417
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: And so you can sense with Harper sometimes you get

418
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: the coach and the quarterback who's taking credit it's not

419
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: always perfect. You know that Andy Reid. Andy Reid is

420
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: very secure in his resume and legacy. He wants what's

421
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: best for Patrick Mahomes. That's why this hire is great.

422
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of head coaches that may

423
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: would have been intimidated by Mike McDaniel's intellect and unique

424
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: and creative offensive vision. Harball's like, bring it on. I

425
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: think this is going to be an absolutely a plus

426
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: plus season for the Charge.

427
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 7: Totally, Colin.

428
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 6: You know us guys, we think we know everything. We

429
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 6: can fix everything, solve everything. That's what guys do. But

430
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 6: the smartest guys realize their weaknesses. And I would guess

431
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 6: Harball said, damn, we couldn't move the football in the

432
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 6: playoffs this year or last year. I mean Herbert at

433
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 6: five picks last year against the Texans. We didn't do

434
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 6: Jack Squat.

435
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 7: Against the Patriots. I'm not touching the offense.

436
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 6: I'm bringing in an offensive mind who's going to fix

437
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 6: our offense.

438
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 7: And it sounds like that's the game plan. Hey McDaniel,

439
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 7: this is your show.

440
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 6: Run your stuff, figure it out. I'm not going to meddle.

441
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 6: That's what smart guys do. I think this is just

442
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 6: a home run higher.

443
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 7: I'm with you.

444
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 6: I think Chargers are one of the best teams in

445
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 6: the NFC heading into this season. Let's go to the

446
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 6: final story, Colin. That's Jesse Minter in Baltimore. Very interesting

447
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 6: timeline setup. Voluntary OTAs are approaching on April sixth, Will

448
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson be there? Lamar has skipped a lot of

449
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 6: voluntary work in the past. Here's Jesse Minterer on what

450
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 6: is going to happen next week.

451
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 5: Lamar is really excited about what we have going on.

452
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 5: I think he's excited about opportunities in the off season program.

453
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 5: And again, we'll see on April sixth, you know, see

454
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 5: who all walks.

455
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 8: In the door and.

456
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: What's that?

457
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 12: Look?

458
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 6: What do you mean he's like, Lamar is excited about

459
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 6: the offseason. He's about it. We'll see if he walks

460
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 6: in the door. Like again, maybe I've never done OTAs.

461
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 6: I don't know, but Tom, I can't envision a scenario

462
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 6: where it's voluntary. You you could be there or not,

463
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 6: and your coach doesn't know if your star player, franchise player, most.

464
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 7: Expensive player is even going to be there. Yeah, don't

465
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 7: Is there not something weird about that?

466
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Listen. Lamar's not always hasn't Lamar missed an ota before.

467
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily his thing.

468
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 7: I don't know, not his thing.

469
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the most.

470
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 6: He's the highest bid player on the team, he's the leader,

471
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 6: he's the franchise guy.

472
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 7: I know it's not his thing.

473
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: It's supposed to bother me. It just doesn't.

474
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 6: Okay, what about Aaron Rodgers when he skipped the.

475
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 7: Jets, Remember he just got to the Jets. Well he

476
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 7: skipped it to go to Egypt.

477
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: Yes, well that felt different because Aaron was way out

478
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: of his prime. That they had a number one receiver

479
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: who was a kid, You had an entirely different environment.

480
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: I thought at that time, you probably need new you know,

481
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: you had knew everything with the Jets. I'm like, bro,

482
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: I'd show up to that one. Lamar Jackson is the

483
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: franchise the team knows him. They're not going to change

484
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: the offense radically.

485
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 6: Wait wait, wait wait wait, they got a new head coach,

486
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 6: they got a new OC.

487
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 7: Like, what do you mean that this is totally They

488
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 7: missed the playoffs?

489
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 6: Like your leader and you just don't show up one

490
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 6: day where you're looking around. Whe's coward a voluntary show.

491
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 7: He may not show up today.

492
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: What really, you know what, that's not a bad suggestion

493
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: out of the football season voluntary shows. I just you know,

494
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: I just called the guys upstairs. You know, guys, I'm

495
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: in Egypt. May I A'll catch it next week, Okay.

496
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: Jmack with the news.

497
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: Well that's the news, and thanks for stopping by the line.

498
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: News.

499
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: We have a developing situation. Turkey qualified for our group

500
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: last night. They're pretty good. So our group just got

501
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: tougher in the World Cup and Italy lost last night.

502
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: Uh third straight World Cup. Italy not involved. There is

503
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: no amount of Kiante and Bolonaise that will heal those wounds.

504
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: But the bigger problem is we lost the eighth straight

505
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: friendly to a European team. We lost to Portugal. We

506
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: are currently sixteenth in the FIFA rankings and not that good.

507
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: Mauricio Pochettino is our coach. There are those that say

508
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: he is distracted. There are rumors in the soccer world

509
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: that other clubs are very interested in him and Christian

510
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: Polisic and Maurcio may not see eye to eye. We

511
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: also have another issue. Polisic is in a major slump.

512
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: I looked it up this morning, for both club and country.

513
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: He hasn't scored this calendar year. So you know, I

514
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: know a lot of the soccer purists. We've got more depth.

515
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: If he's not scoring, we're not good. He is easily

516
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: our most dangerous, lethal, skilled soccer player, and there is

517
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: a gap between Polisic and everybody else. We don't have

518
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: anybody that skilled and creative ball on foot. He is it?

519
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: So he is in a major slump. He's still young.

520
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: What is he twenty seven? Is it a series of

521
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: nagging injuries and small injuries he's had, but club and

522
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: country ac Milan Team USA he's not even getting assists.

523
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: So is it the new system? Is it the coach?

524
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: Is it nagging injuries? And we have not really we

525
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: failed to identify our top goalie. That's always been a

526
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 1: strength for Team USA. Even when we were average, we

527
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: were good in the net. We're not, so I don't

528
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: know if it's injuries. Eight straight lost to a European team,

529
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: lost too nothing, can't score, So to me, we're pretty

530
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: close to panic time. We have two more friendlies coming up,

531
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: Turkeys now in our group. May thirty First, we are

532
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: playing Senegal. It matters. Here's the coach, still upbeat after

533
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: the eighth straight, eight straight loss to European team.

534
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 15: Today, I think we compete really well, like was a

535
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 15: in version first half from twenty minute to fifteen minute.

536
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 15: On the second half and in details, in small details,

537
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 15: I think we lose the game. I am more positive

538
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 15: now than before because seeing the team compete, we have

539
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 15: no far away it's only details that we need to improve.

540
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: So first club team ac Milan Pulisic has one assist

541
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: since September and for both the club and the country

542
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: hasn't scored this calendar year. And I know we've got

543
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, It's like you can say what

544
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: you want about a team has depth, a team has

545
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: Pulistic is our guy. It's just different. He's by far

546
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: and aware, our most creative playmaker. That doesn't put me

547
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: in a great mood or Cebe Buckner. I mean today

548
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: is just the stories we have. We have an umpire

549
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: that needs to be demoted. I mean, it's really really bad.

550
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: Can I just show that one? That is one of

551
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: the craziest things I've ever seen. I'm trying to think.

552
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean again, there's bang bang plays at first. I'm

553
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: not saying umpiring is easy. I know. Watch this. Jack

554
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: Bower's foot stamps the bag, he lands on the bag,

555
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: and the umpire says he missed it. And you can

556
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: see having the players in good spirits. Just play the

557
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: sound of it one more time for the audience.

558
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 11: Bowers, oh love, Williamson throws at first, it's wide, it's

559
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 11: backed up by fortas.

560
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 8: That should be a bas at for ballots. Leonard did

561
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 8: not touch.

562
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: First base and then put out.

563
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 10: So the call from Cebe Buckner is that Jake Bowers

564
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 10: missed first base and then was tagged out, not that

565
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 10: he made a move.

566
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: To second base right and was tagged out.

567
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 11: That he flat out missed the bag. And I think

568
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 11: that is the horrendous call. Where is Cebe Butner looking?

569
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: He's not even looking at it.

570
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Why would he even say.

571
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 8: That ce B Buckner was not even looking at the play.

572
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what c. B.

573
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 12: Buckner's looking at.

574
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: Dare That's ridiculous.

575
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 8: Well, I'm really excited for him to have the plate tomorrow.

576
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: Everybody laughing at that call.

577
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 14: Yeah, that that is I mean that.

578
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: Major League baseball is the best of the best and

579
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: there's never been more talent. So the ABS system is

580
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: has illustrated lots of things. How good these batters are

581
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: on the fly sensing the parameters of the plate. But

582
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: this has been a bad weekend and you don't want

583
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: it to get sad, and maybe we're there, but it's

584
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: just it's not working right now. Okay, I've got it.

585
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: Did you see what o'tani did last night? I mean

586
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: it is he's back to pitching, starting pitcher and going

587
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: to the plate, and it's just unbelievable. There's never been

588
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: anything like this.

589
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 2: Next the Heard, be sure to catch live editions of

590
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 2: The Herd weekdays and newon Easter. Not a Empacific.

591
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 6: The College Basketball Crown is back, a premiere postseason tournament

592
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 6: during major conference teams. The Crown Quarterfinals tip off tonight

593
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 6: with Oklahoma, Colorado and Baylor versus Minnesota right here on

594
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 6: FS one.

595
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. So you know I'm not I'm

596
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: not a big romantic with sports. Like athletes are better,

597
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: coaching is better. The analytics baseball and basketball are so global.

598
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: I know everybody loves the thirty for thirties on the

599
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: Knicks Pacers series. It was ugly basketball it was a

600
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: free throw shooting contest, and it's just bad. What we're

601
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: watching with Otani is unbelievable. He is the greatest baseball

602
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: player of all time. It is not close. We can

603
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: officially bury the Babe Ruth mythology Babe on his sixth

604
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: cigarette of the day, as he would swat home runs

605
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: off roofers and sandwich makers. We'll show some Babe video.

606
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: We have to speed it up circling the bases or

607
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: it would take four minutes, and only baseball does this.

608
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: Bill Russell has eleven titles. We don't think he's Kareem

609
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: or Lebron James or MJ. Hugh McIlhaney and Red Grange

610
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: were great running backs. We don't say Barry Sanders couldn't

611
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 1: hang with these guys. Last night, O Tawny six scoreless innings,

612
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: gets on bas as a batter. He's now for the

613
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: first time in a couple of years, he is now

614
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: a full time go both way pitcher and hit her

615
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: and he's absolutely remarkable. There's something, though, in baseball. It's

616
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: almost a silly, childlike romanticism, where you know, we want

617
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: to talk about the good old days, and you know,

618
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: I think it's disrespectful. I think the quality of baseball

619
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: players now the sport is so global, it's unbelievable. If

620
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: Otawi was pitching back during Babe Ruth's day, I've got

621
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: a feeling he would throw a no hitter every outing.

622
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: I know, the soda jerk from Woolwurst would give him trouble,

623
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: and maybe the part time milkman would draw a walk.

624
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: The chimney sweeper would take him to a full count.

625
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with a guy who has now

626
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: been an MVP three straight seasons. Think about this, going

627
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: back to last season. This is unbelievable. He has the

628
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 1: longest streak of scoreless innings as a pitcher twenty two

629
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: and two thirds, and he's reached base in thirty six

630
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: straight games. Both of those are the longest active streak.

631
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: We can just bury the whole Baby Ruth thing like

632
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: it was fun. There's a candy bar Babe Ruth, the

633
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: greeny footage he called a home run. I get it.

634
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: This is the greatest baseball player by a long shot ever.

635
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, think of how great Clayton Kershaw and Freddie Freeman.

636
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: What if Clayton Kershaw could hit three twenty or Freddie

637
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: Freeman gave you eight scoreless innings two nights ago. So

638
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean it is just I mean, listen, they did

639
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: a movie about Babe Ruth and he's a heck of

640
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: an actor, but John Goodman played the part, not John

641
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: Ham John Goodman. Okay, so come on, let's stop romanicizing sports.

642
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: Let whenever I hear oh J. Mack has agreed with

643
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: me on the NBA. If I have to hear about

644
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties and nineties NBA, you had four

645
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: guys on the floor in some of these eras that

646
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: couldn't shoot. If you have a guy now that can't

647
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: shoot in the NBA, one guy, a power forward can't shoot,

648
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: nobody guards him. It's a huge disadvantage. You go to

649
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: those Knicks teams, John Starks was their jump shooter. Go

650
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: look at his field goal percentage from twenty feet. I mean,

651
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: he was a streaking shooter. But when I think of

652
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: John Starks, I think of a small guy with hops

653
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: who dumped at the iron. I think of an aggressive, aggressive,

654
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: attacking guy who could finish at the rim. I don't

655
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: think of a guy that was smooth from the outside

656
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: hitting threes. So here's Max Munsey on you know, Otawny

657
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: doing it again last night.

658
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 13: If he's if he's able to do it the whole year,

659
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 13: that's just a huge boostby pitching staff, which we already

660
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 13: feel really good about. And you know, I expect nothing

661
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 13: short of almost say on atas him. He's gotten pressure already,

662
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 13: but it doesn't seem to face them at all.

663
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: Think about this, Babe, Ruth was in a singularly domestic sport.

664
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: This sport now has the best players in the world.

665
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: I mean, we all watched the World Baseball Classic. You're

666
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: watching Venezuela, you're watching Italy. There is so much talent

667
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,479
Speaker 1: in baseball. If you've learned anything from the first hour,

668
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: it's umpire have to be up to snuff. The players

669
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: are too great, the games mean too much, there's too

670
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: much revenue. You got to get the right umpires in.

671
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, I can feel bad for people and let's

672
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: let's just stop looking in the rear view mirror with baseball,

673
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: because what you're watching with O Tawny, he's the world's

674
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: greatest athlete. Sorry, I mean, I bet if you threw

675
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: that guy a five wood and a three iron, he'd

676
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: be a scratch golfer. I mean, honestly, it's just insane

677
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: how good he is. He's literally got the longest scoreless

678
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: inning streak and the longest reach base streak either one.

679
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: You'd be like, oh my god, thirty six games he's

680
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: reached base the regular season, I would imagine going back

681
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: to that's just going back to last season regular season.

682
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: It's just unbelievable. I know, J Mack, you like to

683
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: go back in Jet's lore and talk about Joe Namath.

684
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love.

685
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 6: I love nothing more than Joe Namath talk. By the way,

686
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 6: that damn that was one of your best rants. That

687
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 6: was Honestly, did you have that script in Are you

688
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 6: reading of a prompter that was like clean?

689
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: I will admit sandwich makers is a line that I've

690
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: been given before. I no, it's just I've said this forever.

691
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: I am much more of a windshield than a rear

692
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: view mirror sportscaster is. And I think there and I

693
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: understand baseball the lore and the tradition, but you know,

694
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: whenever I hear a talk show host doing baseball talk

695
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: and having to revert back to guys that played in

696
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties and I'm not diminishing how great

697
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: Stan Musual and Bob Gibson, carl Ya Strams.

698
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 7: You great in their era.

699
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I grew up in the seventies. I love Johnny Bench,

700
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: Joe Morgan, I love Joe Morgan, George Foster, Tony Perez,

701
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: those were all my favorite. My Johnny Bench was my

702
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: favorite athlete growing up, but it was Joe Morgan, Pete Rose.

703
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 6: But you realize the modern players vastly are better than

704
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 6: they they were.

705
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 7: It's not even close.

706
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 6: And that's what I do with the NBA, and all

707
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 6: these guys get angry at me. I'm like, guys, you know,

708
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 6: Reggie Miller was an awesome player in the nineties. Reggie

709
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 6: Miller can hold a candle.

710
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 14: Right now.

711
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: If Reggie Miller played on the Warriors in his peak,

712
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: he would have been their fourth best shooter. He could

713
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: not catch and shoot like Clay and he couldn't shoot

714
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: like Kevin durant enstate he would have been their fourth

715
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: best shooter.

716
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 6: People think we're haters because of that. That's just reality.

717
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 6: Everything gets better with time, guys, everything Literally.

718
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: I've never seen a center like Jokic until Wemby. I mean,

719
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: it's incredible. Like Wemby. Wemby's becoming otawny. We may be

720
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: looking with wemby By next year. Is it the greatest

721
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: basketball player ever?

722
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 7: Whoof
