00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville nine thirty AM, Orlando ninety seven nine FM, eight

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: ten AM. All right, so here's what we're gonna do.

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Football basically ended on Sunday. Yes, I know there is

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: spring football. I don't acknowledge it. Maybe we'll talk about

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: that at some point during the program. I sort of

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: doubt it, but we are going to spend the brunt

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: of the first hour of this show talking about the

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: NFL and football specifically, and then and I didn't do

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: this intentionally, but when I actually put the skeleton of

42
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: this program together, when I go and I look at

43
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: the second and third hour, it's just almost like I

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: did just sort of pivot. The second hour, We're going

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: to spend a good bit of time talk about the NBA.

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: We're going to talk a little bit about Tiger Woods,

47
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: about Caitlin Clark, a couple of other things that are

48
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: happening in the sports media landscape, and then in the

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: third hour some more NBA. I do have one other

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: NFL topic that I want to hit on, and I

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: got a couple of other things that I could potentially

52
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: go to if the mood strikes me. But I do

53
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: think that before we can move on to anything else,

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: we do need to look back to the Super Bowl,

55
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: and we do need to talk about Patrick Mahomes. If

56
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: you have listened to me on the Saturday Evening Show

57
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: with Aaron Torres, then you've heard me say repeatedly, especially

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: in the last couple of months, it's his league. You

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: know exactly who I'm talking about, And that right there

60
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: tells you all you need to know as to whether

61
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: or not my statement is right. We all know it's

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes League. If you didn't know, all you have

63
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: to do is look to the fact that midway through

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: this NFL season, I feel like many people that watch sports,

65
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: cover sports, maybe even inside the NFL, we're kind of

66
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that they had completely eliminated Kansas City

67
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: from their minds, but I think they were beginning to

68
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: lose faith. They were saying, hey, you know what, this

69
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: is probably not gonna be the year for them. I mean,

70
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: they won it last year. It's probably gonna be somebody

71
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: else this year. They just don't look quite right. And

72
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: they weren't wrong. I mean I was one of them.

73
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: They weren't wrong to think that. At the time Christmas

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Day they got beat by the Raiders and we were

75
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: all kind of stunned, and it was just okay, well,

76
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: this is a microcosm of this season. It's just not right.

77
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can just look at it and you realize

78
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 1: it's kind of broken, and there's no reason to think

79
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: that that opinion wasn't right at the time. If you

80
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: listen to Andy Reid, if you listen to the Chiefs

81
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: after they defeated the San Francisco forty nine ers on

82
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: Sunday Night. Reid in particular said he actually was texting

83
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: back and forth with his friend Antonio Pierce, the new

84
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: Raiders head coach, and he thanked him for basically helping

85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: kick his team in the butt and wake him up

86
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: because that was a turning point. Mahomes said the exact

87
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: same thing. After the game. That's when they realized, look,

88
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna do something this year. It's going to have

89
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: to change right now, and it did. It was almost

90
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: like they threw a switch and they were completely different.

91
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: Now we've seen this before, great teams or teams that

92
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: are just superstar laden, or there's just somebody that is

93
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: on another level. Sometimes it's not that they're bored, it's

94
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: just that there's a different gear that they don't show.

95
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: In the postseason, they'll just turn it on pretty consistently,

96
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: but in the regular season it's almost like you have

97
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: to bring it out of them. It doesn't mean that

98
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: they weren't great then, it just means there's a different

99
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: level to them. And that's what you see with Patrick

100
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes in January pretty regularly. At this point in time,

101
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: it seems like pure lunacy to pick against Kansas City

102
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: in a playoffs. I did it against Baltimore. I said,

103
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: you know what, I think Baltimore's gonna get him the

104
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: year they got him at home. Look at what that

105
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: defense is doing right now under McDonald. Lamar's dialed in.

106
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: And then they went out and the Chiefs beat him down.

107
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: Spagnolo's defense what he called that day and the way

108
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: that they executed flummixed the Ravens to a degree that

109
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: they went away from who they were and what they

110
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: had done all year long. And Mahomes and the offense

111
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: did just enough against a talented Baltimore defense and beat him.

112
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: And it's just enough that makes Patrick Mahomes so special,

113
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: so unique, and so worth leading this show six days

114
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: after the super Bowl again already we already know what

115
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: happened and we all saw it, but it's still relevant

116
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: to talk about because Mahomes is that special. You just

117
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: can't pick against the guy. It will never happen again,

118
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: I promise you. In the playoffs if the Chiefs are involved,

119
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: as long as Mahomes is a quarterback and Andy Reid

120
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: as a coach during this kind of run, I'm just

121
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna pick him It's just I'm not even gonna worry

122
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: about what it looks like from the outside looking in.

123
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick him because I think that my chances

124
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: are better that way than the opposite. It was the

125
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: same thing with Brady. You pick against Brady at your

126
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: own peril when you do the same thing with Patrick Mahomes.

127
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is going to find a way to beat

128
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: you if you give him any room. And sometimes even

129
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: when it doesn't look like you've given him any room,

130
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: he's still gonna find a way to come beat you.

131
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: But what I wrote down, I just wrote down one

132
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: line for this particular segment as kind of my jump

133
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: off point, and it says this Mahomes is competing against

134
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: nobody active at quarterback in the NFL. Now, this has

135
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: been talked about throughout the week. I'm sure I haven't

136
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: listened to a lot of programs this week, but I'm

137
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: sure this has come up. The Mahomes Brady thing is

138
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: going to come up continuously. It's not as much about

139
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: that comparison to me as it is about we need

140
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: to stop the Mahomes versus insert quarterback here that's currently playing,

141
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: because none of it is relevant, right now, none of

142
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: these guys can compete in that debate and in that

143
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: discussion in a way that makes it worth our time.

144
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Allen Man, they have had some great games

145
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: and Allen has lost them. All that have mattered. Mahomes

146
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: and Lamar, well, Lamar took a step back because of

147
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: what happened in the AFC Championship game this year. Mahomes

148
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: and Herbert, they're in the same division. They've had a

149
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: couple of wars, but it doesn't matter at this stage.

150
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: Herbert's accomplished precisely nothing in the playoffs, and the Chargers

151
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: have been a disappointment until further notice. He's not part

152
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: of this discussion either. The list goes on and on,

153
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: whoever you want to name. Mahomes Hays beating them, He

154
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: beat Jalen Hurts, He's beating Dak Prescott. He's beating them

155
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: all and he's gonna continue to. Eventually somebody will beat

156
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: him because eventually time does win. But is there any

157
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: reason to think that there's a slowdown coming? He is,

158
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: he is right now. His comparison, his competition is history.

159
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: It's is he gonna get to Brady? They aren't the same.

160
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: I heard Colin Cowhard say it wasn't the same debate

161
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: as Jordan Lebron. It's really not, but it does have

162
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: kind of the feel of that's about the only thing

163
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: that's left. Like Lebron still had other people that were

164
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: currently playing that he had to deal with them, by

165
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: the way. I know, I didn't mention Joe Burrow, and

166
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: that's oh, Joe Burrow beat him right then, Joe Burrow

167
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: and went on and lost a Super Bowl that that

168
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: team almost did win. Like, this is no slight against Burrow.

169
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: My problem with Joe Burrow right now is simply that

170
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: he gets hurt a lot. We have said that about quarterbacks.

171
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: I think we need to say that about Joe Burrow.

172
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's missed significant time in his NFL career due

173
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: to injuries. Here's the best comparison that I can make

174
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: between Patrick Mahomes and Lebron James, if you want to

175
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: look at the two of them as sort of contemporary

176
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: against a Jordan, who was, of course way further back

177
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: than Brady was. I mean, Brady and Mahomes played against

178
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: one another. But the best example that I can give

179
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: you are the best kind of comparison Lebron was insanely

180
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: healthy for years and years and years in his career.

181
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: As physically as he played and as hard as he

182
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: was played against the offensively, he didn't miss many games.

183
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: He didn't deal with a lot of injuries. Now that's

184
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: changed in the last few years, but he's getting older.

185
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: That's going to happen to anybody. He was almost it

186
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: was almost unthinkable how healthy he was, considering style and

187
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: all the things that I just mentioned those factors. Mahomes

188
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: did miss some time, but he hadn't missed much. I mean,

189
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: you go back and you think about how many significant injuries,

190
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: significant stretches of time that Patrick Mahomes has missed in

191
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: his career at this point, and it's not a whole lot.

192
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: That's important when you're chasing history, and that is important

193
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: when you're looking at comparisons with other guys. I mean,

194
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: look at tiger Woods right now. We'll get to him

195
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: later on, but tiger Wood's having to pull out of

196
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: another event, this time with an illness, but he had

197
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: backspasms yesterday. Not being able to go out there and

198
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: break records stops you from being able to break records.

199
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: Not being able to play stops you from being in

200
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: the mix of greatest of all time talk. But Mahomes

201
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: is playing a lot of football, and he's winning a

202
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: lot of games, and he's winning a ton of them

203
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: in front of record setting audiences in the playoffs and

204
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. The one team that got him

205
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: was Brady's team. But it wasn't Brady's offense that beat

206
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. It was the defense that had a perfect

207
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: scheme that night, and I wondered whether or not either

208
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore or San Francisco was going to be able to

209
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: do that to him. Baltimore certainly did not. It looked

210
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: as if the forty nine ers might have had a

211
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: shot at it the way they played the first half

212
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: of that game, but he adjusted. He started pulling him

213
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: down and running it. A couple of times. You heard

214
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa say after the game they weren't prepared. The

215
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: defense wasn't prepared for him to run on back to

216
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: back plays, which was kind of an indictment on Steve Wilks.

217
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: It was kind of an indictment on the defense in

218
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: general and Bosa himself because he was responsible for at

219
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: least one of those plays, if not both of them.

220
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: But Mahomes just found a way because that's what he did.

221
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: That's what he does, it's what he consistently does. There's

222
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: nobody that is playing quarterback right now that is in

223
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: his league. Nobody. There's a lot of young guys that

224
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: have a bright future. There are some of the guys

225
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: that I mentioned in the list a couple of minutes

226
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: ago that I really like and I think are excellent

227
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and can win super Bowls and are going to

228
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: be Hall of famers. They're not Mahomes league either, because

229
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: they've never done anything past the regular season. They have

230
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: you can say it's just a team, or it was

231
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: a defense here, or it was a miskick there, or whatever.

232
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me how fortunate the greatest of all

233
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: time always is on last second shots in the NBA,

234
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: on kicks that don't get missed in the NFL, or

235
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: special teams that do their job, or the lack there's

236
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: a and over on the other side. It never happens

237
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: to the good teams, never happens to those quarterbacks to

238
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: end up legends. Like all of that kind of stuff.

239
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: It's almost as if it's not coincidental that good football

240
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: is played around really talented people. That's just something I

241
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: want you to consider as we move forward. So that's

242
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: topic one. Mahomes is competing against nobody that is actively

243
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: playing quarterback in this league. As great as a lot

244
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: of these guys are, this is still his league and

245
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: we are watching something otherworldly in the National Football League

246
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: right now. When we come back, I want to do

247
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: two lists for you. One, five teams that today and

248
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: we know that can change with the draft and free

249
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: agency and all sorts of things that we're going to

250
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: see between now and the start of the season. But

251
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: five teams that today have my interest for next season,

252
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: and that doesn't include either of the teams that played

253
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I'm gonna do that list. And then I

254
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: want to do five that have hit their expiration date

255
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: to me, ones that I don't believe in a championship window,

256
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: whatever like that, but teams that I'm just kind of

257
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: out on going forward. I just don't trust it. So

258
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: we'll do that when we come back. This is the

259

273
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back Jason Martin here on Fox Sports Radio. Some

274
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: of you it's late Friday night, some of you it's

275
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: early Saturday morning. Either way, appreciate you making time for

276
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: us and for Bernie week as a Super Bowl. Then

277
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: I read an article from Jeff Passing at ESPN basically saying,

278
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's gonna be shocked if this Vegas A's

279
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: thing falls through and they don't end up leaving or

280
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: don't end up in Vegas. I was just like, h

281
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: knowing Bernie, that's probably why he's out. He's probably speaking

282
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: to one of three or four dozen moles to try

283
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: and get the scoop. I bet he'll have something for

284
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: you next week. Love Bernie to death. Hopefully he is

285
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: enjoying his weekend off. We're in the tiraq dot com studios.

286
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: We talked about Mahomes in the first segment, and I

287
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: hope I mean, I wasn't trying to slight any of

288
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks in the league. I'm just saying Mahomes

289
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: on a different level. And at this point, it just

290
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: makes no sense to pick against him. When we get

291
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: to January, if he loses, like, okay, fine, I'll accept that.

292
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: More often than not, I'm probably gonna be right at

293
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: some point. It's not even blip trend. It's just like,

294
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: oh no, this is just kind of the thing that happens.

295
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: He wins. Yeah, he lost to Burrow. Outside that, how

296
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: many times are getting beaten in the AFC in the playoffs?

297
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: How often does that happen? Pretty much? Never right outside

298
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: of that crazy night against the Bucks. I mean times

299
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: he lost to the super Bowl pretty much never right.

300
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: And here's what's weird about it. So in the first

301
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: game against to San Francisco forty nine ers, I would

302
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: argue for the first three quarters he didn't play very

303
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: well at all, and in the fourth quarter. He did

304
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: everything he needed to do or win. Was the most

305
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: impressive performance anybody's ever seen. No, it wasn't a great

306
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: game by the Chiefs. It wasn't a great game period,

307
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: but they still won a super Bowl without their best

308
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: stuff because Mahomes made a couple of throws that Jimmy

309
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: G simply couldn't under pressure, a big win to Tyreek

310
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: Hill on the immediate drive after Jimmy G missed em

311
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: Manuel Sanders down the middle of the field. This is

312
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: late in the game. If Sanders and Sanders was wide open,

313
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: if Jimmy G finds him on that pass, he probably

314
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown. Who knows whether or not Kyle Shanahan

315
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: is sitting here with a super Bowl or not. And

316
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: then on Sunday against Brock Parties San Francisco forty nine ers,

317
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: Mahomes again, first half, can't do a whole lot. Third

318
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: quarter started to wake up. Fourth quarter in overtime virtuo.

319
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: So like you're watching Mozart put together a symphony. It

320
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. And there's just nobody else that does stuff

321
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: like that in that scenario quite like him. Nobody all

322
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: the comebacks that he's had with all his greatness. The

323
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: thing that's most impressive to me is he's never beaten.

324
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he doesn't lose, but you can never like

325
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: you can never take your eyes off the game and

326
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: assume it's over. If Patrick Mahomes is playing and his

327
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: team is down, if they're up, yeah, a lot of

328
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: times you can assume it's over if they're ahead. But

329
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: the fact that you even when they're down a few touchdowns,

330
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: you're just waiting for the comeback. It's similar to the

331
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: way you feel about Golden State back during the real

332
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: apex of their run. They could be down fifteen in

333
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: a third quarter and you're just waiting for that twenty

334
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: to three run or thirty to three run and then

335
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: them run away with it in the fourth quarter. And

336
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about in November. I'm talking about in May.

337
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: In June, no lead was safe because it was just different.

338
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing with Mahomes. So I got

339
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: two lists outside now of the two Super Bowl teams,

340
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: because of course they're going to be interesting to see

341
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: how they follow up what they did. Cas is gonna

342
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: be going for a three peat. San Francisco is going

343
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: to be looking to avenge what happened and kind of

344
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: break the idea of the team that got that close

345
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: not falling apart. The next year, we saw the Eagles

346
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: kind of fall apart after me believe they were going

347
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: to be right back. Usually that's the case, you think

348
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: that team's coming back. I'm not so sure. We'll see.

349
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: But I got five teams right now, and again caveat,

350
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: I understand a lot of things are and certainly are

351
00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: going to change. They are for sure going to have changed,

352
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be for everybody. But there are five

353
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: teams that I have that I'm really interested in for

354
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: next season. As of today, as we start to put

355
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: a bow on this NFL season, shift gears to other

356
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: sports and other topics. Of course, the NFL is still

357
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: going to be a topic, because we've got the Draft,

358
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: we've got the Combine, we've got free agency, we've got

359
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: all sorts of things. But here's the five teams. And

360
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: I wrote them down, and I don't know that this

361
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: was the order, but this is the order. I'm going

362
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: to speak them because it's clear that they were on

363
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: my mind. Like as I wrote them down, there were

364
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: a couple that I had to think about and some

365
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: that came immediately to me, And I guess I'm just

366
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: gonna go from front of mine down And maybe that

367
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: means that number one is the most interesting, But I mean,

368
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: when you're thinking of thirty two teams, it is possible

369
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: that you overlook the most important one along the way.

370
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: But we'll do these, and then we're going to do

371
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: five teams that hit their expiration day, teams that I'm

372
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: just kind of out on going forward. Maybe they're gonna

373
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: make some big moves, but it just feels like it's

374
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: time to move on here, and just kind of this

375
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: team is who they Who they are doesn't mean that

376
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: it is impossible to see them winning. It's just teams.

377
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna believe in teams that might have had

378
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a run, but it just seems

379
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: like they're gonna come up short like so many teams did.

380
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: In the Jordan era, so many teams did. In the

381
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Patriots era, so many teams did, and you know, whatever

382
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: dynasty you want to mention a lot of great teams

383
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: that couldn't quite get over the hump because they just

384
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: happened to be playing at the wrong time. But before

385
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: we do both those lists. We might only do one

386
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: here in just a minute, and we'll do the second

387
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: one to any hour. But before we do that, I

388
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: want to get an update. So let's go out to

389
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: LA Let's talk to Kevin Figures and see what's happening

390
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: in the world of sports.

391
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 4: keV all Right, Jason Well with the NBA at the

Speaker 5: The Basketball Hall of Fame did announce its list of

394
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 5: fourteen finalists on Friday. The inductees will be announced during

395
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 5: the final four. Multiple time All Star and Finals MVP

00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 5: Chauncey Billups one of the headliners on the list, along

Speaker 5: with Vince Carter, former Showtime Laker Michael Cooper, and former

398

Speaker 5: University of Wisconsin head coach bo Ryan. Ben Mathren of

399

Speaker 5: the hometown Indiana Pacers won the MVP of the Rising

400
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 5: Stars competition on Friday night, and golf's second round at

401
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 5: the Genesis Open, tournament host Tiger Woods withdrew from the

402
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 5: tournament less than halfway through his round after he fell ill.

403
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 5: Jordan Speith was disqualified from the tournament after logging the

404
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,239
Speaker 5: incorrect score on his scorecard. Patrick Cantlay shot a six

405
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 5: under sixty five for the round and has a five

406
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: stroke lead. In college basketball, San Diego State picked up

407
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 5: their twentieth win of the season. They defeated New Mexico

408
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,560

430
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: and for Bernie Frato here from the tire rack dot

431
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: Com Studios. Five NFL teams that have my interest today

432
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: for next season. And again I wrote them in an

433
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: order just kind of how they came to me. It

434
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: wasn't that I went one to five and ranked them,

435
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: but I actually think that's kind of the best way

436
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: to rank them. I didn't think about ranking them, but

437
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't you think if it was first thing that popped

438
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: into my mind, that's likely to be near the top

439
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: of any list if I had to think about it,

440
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: then how interested am I really? Compared to a team

441
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: that I didn't have to think about? And it was like, oh, well, instantly,

442
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: it's this team, So we're going to start right here.

443
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: In Houston, Texans, c J. Stroud just completed the best

444
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: rookie season we've ever seen from a quarterback in the NFL.

445
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Just stellar will Anderson, unreal rookie defensive year. Dimiko Ryans

446
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: was outstanding. He was everything that they wanted in Houston

447
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: and then some he looked beyond ready for the part.

448
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: They drafted well, and then they got a lot out

449
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: of guys that you hadn't really heard from. But it

450
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: all kind of centers around Stroud and I do think

451
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: there's a culture with Ryan's adult in a room, but

452
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: there's an intensity there, there's a professionalism there. Everything that

453
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: you want, they've got. The question and what really has

454
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: me interested is how do you follow this up? What's

455
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: the sophomore gonna look like? A lot of times that

456
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: first album is great, but then there's that sophomore slump.

457
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: A lot of times that first movie is good, then

458
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: they try to do too much in the second one

459
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: and it's not so good, and then they back off

460
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: a bit and get back to what worked in the

461
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: first one. And if there is a third film, it's

462
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: often much better than the second. So what is this

463
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: going to look like? Is this gonna be a great

464
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: second record or is this gonna be a little bit forgettable.

465
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that, but I tend

466
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: to believe the positive side. There's gonna be tape out

467
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: there on CJ shidd you know that, right Like in

468
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: the second year, everybody now has a bunch more film

469
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: but they already had a film on CJ. Stroud, And

470
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: what the film says is CJ. Stroud gets the ball

471
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: out of his hands incredibly fast. And I don't mean

472
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: he stabs the ball in his out of his hands

473
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: in a second. I mean his release is lightning quick.

474
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: And for it to be that fast, his accuracy is

475
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: off the charts. I have heard a lot of former

476
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks talk about how tight the spirals are on all

477
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: of his throws. I was watching in the Super Bowl

478
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: Brock Party, and I've said some good things about Perty,

479
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: and we'll talk some about Perty, I think before we're

480
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: done today. But a lot of those looked like looked

481
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: like wounded ducks in the Super Bowl. They weren't exactly

482
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: the prettiest passage you've ever seen. Now that doesn't matter

483
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: as long as they're being caught by the right guys,

484
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: the ones that are wearing your uniform. It doesn't matter

485
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: how pretty it is. That said. C J. Stroud throws

486
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: an absolutely gorgeous football. And if the tape just says

487
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: he's super accurate, and he gets the ball out of

488
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: his hands really fast, like when he starts to wind up,

489
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: it's gone. That's just tape that reveals he's really good.

490
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: There are some guys that defy the tape where there's

491
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: some guys where it's not a gimmick, it's just natural

492
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: skill and there's only so much you can do to

493
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: defend it. Stroud is not like indefensible, but Stroud's really good.

494
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: He can run when he has to, but his ability

495
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: to throw the football and scan the field pretty impressive

496
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: as a rookie. What's he going to do in year two?

497
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: I am fascinated to see the Texans and I like

498
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: their chances. Number two LA Chargers. It's not really just

499
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: about harball, but that's certainly a lot of it. But

500
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: it is time as much as Justin Herbert is spoken of,

501
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: and I don't disagree. I do tend to think we're

502
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: in danger of overrated territory simply because we haven't seen

503
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: the results in the win loss column. But then I

504
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: kind of backtrack off myself and remember win loss is

505
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: a terrible way to rate a quarterback. Most of Herbert's

506
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: success came in spite of head coaches and schemes that

507
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: didn't work. I still believe fully in Justin Herbert is

508
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: hardball going to be the guy to unlock him. I

509
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: don't know, but that was the higher that I thought

510
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: they should have made. It was the higher that many

511
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: of us predicted they would make, because even though it

512
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: was not what they have done in the past historically,

513
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: that's not the Chargers organization to go spend money like that.

514
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: Felt like that was going to happen here, and they

515
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: actually did. I like the move. I think it will work.

516
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: We'll see if Harrball's kind of become a little bit

517
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: easier in terms of I mean, you don't want him

518
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: to lose his edge exactly, because I think a lot

519
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: of that is what makes him great. But at the

520
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: same time, he wears on people. Talk to people that

521
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: played for him before in San Francisco and they even said,

522
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, he boy, he can get after a while

523
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: that welcome Matt. You might want to pick that one up,

524
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: not let him in the house anymore. He can be difficult.

525
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that plays. That's different than what

526
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers have experienced thus far. But no doubt they're

527
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: one of the most fascinating teams entering next year, and

528
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: this one's irrespective of what they're going to do in

529
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: free agency, and because the Harball factor with Justin Herbert.

530
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: That's the critical thing here. Number three Green Bay Packers,

531
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: youngest team in the league. I was blown away by

532
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: how effective they were. I was. I was skeptical about

533
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. I certainly wasn't out on him. I wanted

534
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: to give him a chance to do something before I

535
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: believed in either the hype or the anti hype. I

536
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of let him tell me and show me on

537
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: the field what kind of football player he was at

538
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: this level? Was he ready for this moment? Were they

539
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: blowing smoke before the season or were they blowing smoke

540
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: the year before? Who was Jordan Love? Well? What we

541
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: saw was he's pretty good. Matt Lafleur I was dead

542
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: wrong about when I said I was shocked that they

543
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: gave him that gig as head coach in Green Bay

544
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: years ago because I had seen him here where I

545
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: do the show here in Nashville. You know, I covered

546
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: the Titans for years and I saw his season as

547
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and it was not very good. But he's

548
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: a good head coach and he is a great offensive

549
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: play caller. And you look at those weapons, the way

550
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: they came on for Jordan Love down the stretch. They

551
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: can still run the ball. Defense a little bit shaky.

552
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: If they can kind of fix that, that's a team that,

553
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Packers Lions is going to be a war.

554
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: I know I'm not talking about Minnesota right here, and

555
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: they're not completely out of the mix either. There's a

556
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: lot of talent on that team, but there's also some

557
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 1: question marks. Detroit and Green Bay is going to be

558
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: really fun to watch next year in that division because

559
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: both of them should be very good. Number four Cleveland

560
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: Browns Miles Garrett basically said, we had the best talent

561
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: in the league. We could have won it all That

562
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: defense was stellar, and Kevin Stefanski ends up winning the

563
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, which is a little bit surprising,

564
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: but he certainly may have deserved it considering what he

565
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: dealt with. The reason they're fascinating is this, do they

566
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,719
Speaker 1: have a quarterback? This isn't about Flacco, and it's not

567
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: about Thompson, Robinson or anybody else. This is about Sean Watson.

568
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Can he still play? Does anybody know the answer to

569
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: that question? I guess I'm not willing to go so

570
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: far as to say no, but I'm getting close. Seems

571
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: that the time off did not do him any favors.

572
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: It took him a while to shake some of that

573
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: rust off, and just when it felt like he was

574
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: coming off of one of his better games, then he

575
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: was out for the season. I don't know that that's

576
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: ever well. I know it's not ever going to be

577
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: the payoff on the investment that they made, because that

578
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: was an insane investment and just hard to even fathom.

579
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: But I don't know that he's very good in twenty

580
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: twenty four. But because of what's around him on that team,

581
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get chubbed back and that's gonna be

582
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: a big deal. But because of what he's what's around him,

583
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: and because of that defense, like they should be good.

584
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: They should be really good. They should be you know,

585
00:33:54,520 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: certainly AFC contenders, But if if Watson is anything like

586
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: what we've seen thus far, I don't think they're going

587
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: to be able to get there. And number five quickly

588
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: is Philadelphia. I'm on record, I said it before the season.

589
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: I was not as high on Philadelphia as other people

590
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: because I think that this was a scenario where Shane

591
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: Steiking and Gannon, who I think did better in Arizona.

592
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: Anybody thought he was going to do in year one,

593
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: but Stiking was really what stirred the drink in Philly

594
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: more so than Sirianni. You let your oc go and

595
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: then whatever you did offensively last year did not work.

596
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: And then you bring in Matt Patricia, which is I

597
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: don't even have words. Stiking goes and overperforms with the Colts.

598
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: Looks the part you're seeing articles written now about him

599
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: now being super aggressive and just the way he goes

600
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: about things and mature beyond his years and all this.

601
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure he shouldn't be the coach in

602
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Philadelphia last year, you know what I'm saying. And they

603
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: keep Siriani and after it kind of went south and

604
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: you had aj Brown this weirdness late in the year

605
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: and what's doing Hurt's gonna be and all of that

606
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: really interesting. So those are the five teams Texans, Chargers, Packers,

607
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: Brown's Eagles. When we come back, how about five teams

608
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: that I believe have hit their expiration date? Five that

609
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much out on going forward. Wouldn't be blown

610
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: away or shocked or there's no possible way they could win,

611
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to predict it. I kind of

612
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: feel like we know who these teams are. I'll tell

613
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: you who they are coming up next, live from the

614
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,840

Speaker 1: Welcome back in We're live tyrack dot Com Studios. I'm

621
00:35:54,560 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: Jason Martin. This is Foxsports Radio. Thrilled to have you

622
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: with us here on this late Friday early Saturday, depending

623
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: on where you are in the country. So we did.

624
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: We talked NFL pretty much this whole hour, and I

625
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: said it wasn't really intentional, but when I went and

626
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: looked at what I put together for this program, and

627
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: I'm in for Bernie fred I want to let you

628
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: know he'll be back next week, just kind of taking

629
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of time off and deservedly so. Man

630
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: works incredibly hard and he is really good at what

631
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: he does, as I'm sure you all know, and happy

632
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: to call him a friend as well as a brother

633
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: and the Lord. We started off talking about the Super

634
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: Bowl pretty much, about Mahomes being incredible. This is not

635
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: a thing that they should pay me to say, but

636
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate them doing it anyway. Then we did five

637
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: teams of interest today, like five teams I have interest

638
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: in right now for next season in the NFL. I

639
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: gave you a list Texans, Chargers, Packers, Browns, Eagles. I

640
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: also throw an honorable mention and give you the Jets.

641
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: What are they going to do in year two with

642
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? And this might have to be the year

643
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: for Sala or he might not survive it. Detroit because

644
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: they had all the hype and they lived up to it.

645
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: Now what do they do after the hype and after

646
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: the success, but also after the way that they lost

647
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: to San Francisco and somehow found a way not to

648
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: make it to Super Bowl when they absolutely should have

649
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: been there. And then the Ravens can't do better than

650
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: number one seed in the conference. But what do you

651
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: do to follow up the way it ended? So those

652
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: would be my honorable mentions. Now five that I believe

653
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: have hit their expiration date. These are five teams in

654
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: the past few years you have seen some level of

655
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: success from them, but they're just teams I flat out

656
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: do not believe in going forward. Now they could prove

657
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I'm going to be skeptical. I won't

658
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: be cynical, but I'll be skeptical about them again. I'm

659
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: just gonna give you the order that I wrote them

660
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: down in Bill's Number one. I've just seen them not

661
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: quite get it done in the playoffs one too many times.

662
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: I love Josh Allen to death. I believe in Josh Allen.

663
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: There's something wrong there, and if they're gonna bring McDermott

664
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: back again, I don't see anything changing. And it's not

665
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: because I think McDermott's a bad coach. I just think

666
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: maybe you've hit your ceiling there. Diggs looks like that

667
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: might not be a happy marriage anymore. It just seems

668
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: like whatever that time frame was for them, when it

669
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: looked like they could be a team, maybe they could

670
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: be the team that really stepped up against the Chiefs.

671
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: Well they kind of were, but they kept getting beaten

672
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: in the big games. Number two Dallas Cowboys. I just

673
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: they are now in James Harden territory for me, and

674
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: what that means if you're unfamiliar with me, is I've

675
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: said for years James Harden is a guy who I

676
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: will believe it when I see it. I will never

677
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: preduce that a James Harden team, a team he plays for,

678
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: will win a championship ever, because I've just seen failure

679
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: too much in key crucial moments. If he does it,

680
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: then maybe I'll predict he could do it again. But

681
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: until that happens, I don't care what the Clippers do.

682
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pick the Clippers. It's just not going

683
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: to happen. I'm kind of that way with the Cowboys.

684
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: They got me this past year. I bought in again

685
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: and I felt like a fool again. It won't happen

686
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: a third time. Dolphins number three, there's just something that's

687
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: incomplete there. They paid a good bit of money, they

688
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: got better on defense, and now they've lost Bradley Chubb.

689
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they even lose it for next year because of

690
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: what happened playing him in that last game. I don't

691
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do at quarterback. There's rumors of

692
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, maybe there's a rumors of somebody else instead

693
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: of two. I don't know that that's the problem. They

694
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: are a team that dominates bad football teams, but I

695
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: just don't trust him against good ones, not in the playoffs.

696
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: Number four the Vikings bad Division. They seem to be

697
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: on the backside justin. Jefferson says he doesn't want to

698
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: commit long term until they know what they're going to do.

699
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: A quarterback that should scare you to death. And then

700
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: number five is the Jaguars. Just don't there something incomplete again?

701
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: And Trevor, I think we know what he is and

702
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: I don't think it's quite the ceiling that we thought

703
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: it was. So there's your five Bill's Cowboys, Dolphins, Giants, Jags.

704
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: When we come back, Caitlyn Clark broke a record, super impressive,

705
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: great story. Let us keep it in perspective, though, seriously,

706
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: we're doing her a disservice if we do anything else.

707
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: That's next. Fox Sports Radio, Welcome in. I'm Jason Martin.

708
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Radio. Glad to have you with us.

709
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: We're live in THEENTIREAG dot com studios. Of course, so

710
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: I said that we we were going to kind of

711
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: gradually turn the page. We talked NFL the entire first hour.

712
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: I got a couple more topics before the end of

713
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: the show. So there's never really an offseason anymore. When

714
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: it comes to pro football, they don't allow it quite frankly,

715
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: but I do want to shift gears and talk about

716
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: some other things that are happening in a world of sports.

717
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: By the way, you can find me on x at

718
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: JMR Radio if you'd like in for Bernie for Iuto.

719
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: Bernie's taking a weekend off. Appreciate him so much, Appreciate

720
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 1: filling in his chair and just everything that he's about.

721
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: Just a great human being. I want to talk about

722
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: greatness and I want to talk about perspective because sometimes

723
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: on that second one, that second one often gets lost,

724
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: and I think we need to be real careful because

725
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that it actually helps if you get

726
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 1: it wrong. Caitlin Clark, nothing but kudos and props and

727
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: whatever word you want to use for what she's done,

728
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: for what she's meant, for how she's carried herself, for

729
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: what she's done for that state, for that university, breaking

730
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: the record of course of Kelsey Plumb and did it

731
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: on Peacock, which upsets some people, but that's the way

732
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: the cookie crumbled these days. I'm not going to give

733
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: you the stats. I'm not going to give you the numbers.

734
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you any of that, because honestly,

735
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: you can look it up. And I don't think that

736
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: you're not going to remember what I tell you anyway

737
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: if you don't have it in your head, and I'd

738
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: have to look it up. But I don't know it

739
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: right off hand either, I have in front of me.

740
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: But she broke the scoring record for women's college basketball,

741
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: had forty nine against Michigan, and it was just a

742
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,479
Speaker 1: matter of time. I mean, we've now for the last

743
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: at least two years. We know what she's about, we

744
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: know how special she is. We talked about greatness open

745
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: the show. We talked about Patrick Mahomes. So let's do

746
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: the exact same thing here with Caitlyn Clark, but in

747
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: a different way, because we can't just talk about greatness.

748
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: It seems like without trying to slot it into some

749
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: kind of comparison or history that it has no business

750
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: being in. And this some people are gonna listen to

751
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: this and they're gonna take it like I'm saying something

752
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: negative about her, and I'm not. Matter of fact, I

753
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: think I'm doing her properly, like treating this properly. I

754
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: read comments and even an article that talked about this

755
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark record, and then said on to Pete Marrivich, No,

756
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: maybe by the number, but no, this is the kind

757
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: of thing that we have to stop doing. Caitlyn Clark's

758
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: record stands on its own in women's college basketball, and

759
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 1: that should be enough. We don't need to go further

760
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: and try to justify it anywhere else because it doesn't

761
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: belong there. This is the same thing as Vandivier. I

762
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: think it is Vandivier right, that broke the coaching record

763
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: most wins, broke coach K's record. I read that article

764
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: over and over again. No again, no, I no, by

765
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 1: the number. Okay, It's a different sport. There's a different

766
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: level of competition, and I'm not even necessarily talking about

767
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: the quality of the best teams. I'm talking about the depth.

768
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: Women's college basketball just doesn't have the depth. There were

769
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: like five good programs for thirty years. Now. We've seen

770
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: some more in recent years. LSU has been a recent

771
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: success story. Certainly South Carolina under Don Staley has been

772
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: a success story recently because of Caitlyn Clark. You've seen

773
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: what IOWA has been able to do. I mean, there's

774
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: some other stories here, notre Dame. But I mean for

775
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: a while it was you know, Yukon, and it was Tennessee,

776
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: and for a little while it was Louisiana Tech. That

777
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: was way back in the day. And then you'll have

778
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, a Duke will be good one year, maybe

779
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: a nanc State will be good. But it's not a

780
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: deep sport. Baylor I had mentioned Baylor I should have been.

781
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: Stanford certainly is very good, but you're not looking at

782
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: it's just not the same, And to treat it like

783
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 1: it's the same actually undercuts the accomplishment itself because it's

784
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: not going to stand up to scrutiny. Don't put that

785
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: in the same classification as coach k Don't put Caitlin

786
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: Clark's record and immediately say, well, she's going after Marivich next,

787
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: But no, she's not. She's really really not, especially considering

788
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: the three point line. But if it were just that,

789
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'd be leading this way. But that

790
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: wasn't the most ridiculous thing that I read over the

791
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours about this record. No, what I read,

792
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: and this wasn't from one person. This was from several people.

793
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: Now these are not journalists, okay, but this sentiment being

794
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: out there at all, I feel like needs to be

795
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: pushed back against because it's important to actually live in reality.

796
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: I know some people don't like doing that these days.

797
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: I think that it's important to stay with our feet

798
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: on the ground and actually, let's agree to some things

799
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: that are objectively true. When I see comments, especially from educators,

800
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: and in this case, there was an educator that say,

801
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: I think an NBA team should draft her, I almost

802
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: bought my homes and started the show with it. That's

803
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: how preposterous that is. And again I saw this in

804
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: repeated places. Do you think an NBA team should consider her?

805
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 1: What do you think she could do in the NBA?

806
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: It's clear that women are the same as men in sports.

807
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: Just look at Caitlyn Clark, like I'm reading, these are

808
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: things that I saw. I actually went and looked around.

809
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: I was just reading the article, and there was a

810
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: really good article when the Athletic about Caitlyn Clark and

811
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: about the record. I was really enjoying it, but just

812
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: looking for a couple of seconds at responses or other

813
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: editorials and all this kind of stuff. I just saw

814
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 1: some insane stuff in the NBA. If she could get

815
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: shots off she would make some of them. But the

816
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: first part of that sentence is I she would not

817
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: do very well, and by very well, I mean not

818
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: well at all. This is not about her talent. It's

819
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: about genetics. Again, Let's agree on what's real. Let's objectively

820
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: discuss things that are true. Let's not live in our truth,

821
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: because that's not a thing's Let's live in the truth.

822
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: Men and women created differently, strength, speed, agility, all of

823
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: these things genetically proven men superior to women. Women are

824
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: superior to men in other ways. Sports is not one

825
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: of them. Not when it comes to sports like this. Now,

826
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: can a female bowler bowl the same as a male bowler?

827
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: Although I I haven't seen that happen professionally, I'm sure

828
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: it has. I would imagine yes, the answer would be

829
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: yes there because that's a different that's a different classification.

830
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: But you're talking about a game. Who is Caitlin Clark

831
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: going to get a shot off against? In the NBA?

832
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: Who is she going to get a shot off against?

833
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: In college basketball? I'm serious when I say this. Who

834
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: is she going to get a shot off against? In

835
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: even decent level high school or AAU ball who Who's

836
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 1: she going to defend. You can't answer because the answer

837
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: is nothing. I mean, she's great going to her left right.

838
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: She I read that in the article. She comes across

839
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: the timeline. She loves to pull up for a transition three,

840
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: especially if you force her to her left. She takes

841
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: one step to her left, and it's money more times

842
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: than not, because she's just outstanding. How's she getting that

843
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: off in the NBA? How's she getting that off in

844
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: college basketball against men? I'm looking at this genetically, folks.

845
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this from things that we can agree upon.

846
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: There is objective reality, there is objective truth. You read

847
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: the same thing over and over again. You read it

848
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: about Serena. Oh, Serena could take down. What do you

849
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: think Serena would do against Federer? She might get Golden

850
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: said it quite frankly. Maybe there'd be an unforced err

851
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: or something like that from Federer, but that'd be about it.

852
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean, she played against some dude that was smoking

853
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: on the court and he destroyed her. US women's national team.

854
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: I bet they could beat them men. Now, I bet

855
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: they couldn't see its how they lost to a high

856
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: school team in Texas. Talking about soccer here, it's just different,

857
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: like this is not it's not a slight on them,

858
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: it's just it's different. So we need to stop going

859
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: here because it actually is disrespectful to the accomplishment in itself.

860
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 1: It should be enough, and it should be You shouldn't

861
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: have to then say, well, what you gonna What would

862
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: she do against the men? Well, she wouldn't do very well,

863
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: but that's not important. What's important is the accomplishment and

864
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: the achievement that she has executed against her own. What

865
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: she's done against other women is worthy of stand up

866
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: and cheer and never forget her kind of stuff. One

867
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: thing I do agree with. I do think she is

868
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: the most recognizable college basketball player right now in the country.

869
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: And that does include men. I mean, I know, you

870
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: know Zach ed or somebody like that, but no, it's

871
00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. And she is outrating NBA games. And I

872
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: am going to be more interested at least to see

873
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: the box scores in the WNBA if she's in there,

874
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: to see how she does. She's box office respective to

875
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: and she's and that's what you gotta have. I mean,

876
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: you've got to have somebody that you can market. It's

877
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: not gonna be a bad it's gonna be a good

878
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: thing for the WNBA. Even the Diana Tarassi's or whoever

879
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: it is has come out to Breonna Stewart's. There've been

880
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: a lot of great players that have come out and

881
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 1: gone into the WNBA that have had stellar college careers,

882
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: but I think Kaitlin Clark is one people are going

883
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: to follow. There's just something she's got that it factor

884
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: about her, and can't that be enough. That's why I

885
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: said I wanted to talk about greatness and I wanted

886
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: to talk about perspective. You can't lose perspective here because

887
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: it destroys your credibility, but it also really undercuts the

888
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: achievement that's happened here. When you immediately start saying trying

889
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,959
Speaker 1: to compare it to a men's record, Well, first off,

890
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the pushback because facts are facts, reality

891
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: is reality. But you're also then just it's almost as

892
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: if the accomplishment that she just had really wasn't all

893
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: that impressive in the first place. So no, yeah, it

894
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: is as long as you actually respect it in its

895
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: own lane. You don't have to worry about what the

896
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: Ferrari's doing any other lane. We need to start doing that,

897
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: and I say we meaning anybody that believes otherwise. Most

898
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: of you, I have to imagine, are just kind of

899
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: nodding your head and saying, well, yeah, I mean this

900
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: is obvious, you would think so. But there are people

901
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: that are paid a lot for a living that I

902
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: remember writing articles about how Serena Williams was going to

903
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: take down or would take down the top men's players,

904
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: and they asked, and I think Serena commented on it

905
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: and said, those people have no idea what they're talking about.

906
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 1: She had perspective. Caitlin Clark's not the one out here

907
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 1: talking about going to the NBA as a public service.

908
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: I am hoping to convince you of the exact same thing.

909
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: Don't be the one speculating on what you think Caitlin

910
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: Clark could do in the NBA and maybe a team

911
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 1: should consider her in the second round. I mean, look

912
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: at this, I mean, anybody can if you can shoot

913
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: like that, there's a space. No, no, no, just no.

914
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: When we come back, man, we talked a lot a

915
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: lot of greatness on this show. We talked about Mahomes.

916
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: We just talked about Caitlin Clark. I know that sounded negative,

917
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: but it's not supposed to. I just want her accomplishment

918
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: to stand on its own and that to be enough.

919
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: We don't always have to compare it to something else,

920
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: especially in this case when it's just completely irrelevant compared

921
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: to the other things. Let's stand up and cheer Caitlin

922
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: Clark for what she already accomplished, as opposed to trying

923
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: to talk about things that are hypothetical and not based

924
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: in reality. When we come back, another thing that is

925
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: based in reality is the greatness of one Tiger Woods.

926
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: But has it come to an end? We are, by

951
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods withdrew from the Genesis Invitational, which he hosts

952
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: at Riviera in La He withdrew from the Genesis Invitational

953
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: because they only have flu like symptoms, according to I

954
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: think his doctor on Thursday night and had a little

955
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: bit of a fever early Friday, got worse, got dizzy

956
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: on the course and ended up having to pull out.

957
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't really want to talk about that because that

958
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: can happen to anybody. I was sick last week. My

959
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: white's a little under the weather right now. A lot

960
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: of you are. As a matter of fact, it's you know,

961
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: a lot of flu out there, some COVID out there,

962
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,439
Speaker 1: there's RSV with some of the kids out there. There's

963
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: a lot going on. It's that kind of year. It's

964
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: that time of year. So I don't really talk about

965
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: the illness. I hope he's going to be feeling better soon.

966
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the other thing. And the

967
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: other thing is what happened on Thursday and what at

968
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: least some reports say was also going on on Friday

969
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: based on their observations. Even though his friend said in

970
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: the statement, he's the one, by the way, Rob mcnamary's

971
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: his friend. He is a part of Tiger's you know,

972
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: Larger Ventures program and all that that he was. He's

973
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: the one that said he was battling flu symptoms Thursday

974
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: night and then it was worse Friday morning, and he

975
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: was being seen by some doctors. But he said, he

976
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: said that this was okay. He said that Tiger Wood's back,

977
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: which he was having spasms on Thursday in the first round,

978
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: he said it's fine. His back was fine. Now some

979
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: reports say that was not the case based on observation.

980
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: Like watching him, he didn't seem to be fine. His

981
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: back didn't seem to be fine. Now he probably I

982
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't imagine it would have looked fine if he was

983
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: dealing with the flu to the point he was dizzy.

984
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: He probably looked off anyway. But he had to withdraw again. Okay,

985
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: last time we saw him about a year ago, withdrew again.

986
00:59:55,760 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Health issues. Tiger Wood's not getting you young. Tiger Woods

987
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: has had knee issues, shoulder issues, back issues, neck issues.

988
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: I believe he's forty eight years old, still got his

989
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: fifteen majors, and I think it is fair at this stage. Unfortunately,

990
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: because you know, we've been talking greatness on the show

991
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes Caitlin Clark, we'll talk about NBA All Stars in

992
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: the third hour of the program, talking a lot of greatness.

993
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Doesn't get much greater than Tiger Woods. It supports period

994
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: in terms of his dominant run. But folks, I think

995
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: we're done here. It's not the illness again. The illness

996
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: can happen to anybody. It's the backspasms again and and

997
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: being won over and just hoping to make the cut,

998
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: and it's just I think, I think we're done. Doesn't

999
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: mean he could never play golf again, and it's still

1000
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: kind of miraculous that he can based on the accident

1001
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: that he had. But this feels over. Eventually, it's going

1002
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: to be over for everybody and eventually their career comes

1003
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: to an end. This one, you know, it had people's attention.

1004
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: He was going to be back on a course. Wanted

1005
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: to see it. Even his fellow golfers wanted to see.

1006
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: I saw Gary Woodland that was in the group with

1007
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: him saying, yeah, this stinks. It's better when he's out

1008
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: there and he didn't look right at all starting the

1009
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: starting the round. He's still trying, man, he's still attempting

1010
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: to come back. He's still trying to play golf. He

1011
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: loves golf, that's o. And this is why we have

1012
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: seen so many times throughout history athletes that just have

1013
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: not been able to hang them up when we can

1014
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: all see watching it that it's kind of over. The

1015
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: athletes the last one to know, or maybe not the

1016
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: last one to know that might actually not be right.

1017
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: The athlete's the last one to admit it. But we

1018
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: all have eyes. We all watch this, we all see it.

1019
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: I think the Tiger Woods things over. He wasn't playing

1020
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: great before this in this tournament, and there was something

1021
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: about it. He had the flu, right, So it's not

1022
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: this is not totally fair of me, But this shot

1023
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: that I have seen, this still photo of him in

1024
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: the cart being given back with his head down and

1025
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: his head in his hands, there was something about that

1026
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: photo that I could not look away from, and it

1027
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: just kind of felt like I was looking at a

1028
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: eulogy of a career in that photo. And again, it's

1029
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: a flu It's a flu photo, right, Like if he's

1030
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: dealing with a legit illness that was that serious, then

1031
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he had just broken his leg at

1032
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: age forty in the NFL and he was being carved

1033
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: off and we were never gonna see him again. But

1034
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: it still had that sense, like the the imagery of it.

1035
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Just from just describing it to you, I'm seeing I'm

1036
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: thinking that I'm thinking about it again, and the only

1037
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: conclusion I can draw just from it without context is man,

1038
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: he's done. Not in the tournament, He's just done his greatness.

1039
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: It just it felt like it just vanished right there now.

1040
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: He's going to attempt to come back again, I'm sure,

1041
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: but he's dealing with backspasms again. I mean, is it

1042
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,439
Speaker 1: gonna get better than this? At this point? I don't

1043
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: even think it's I don't think it's appropriate to talk

1044
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: about that. I hope it's not over. I want to

1045
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: continue to watch him play golf as long as he

1046
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: wants to play golf. I'm not suggesting he needs to quit.

1047
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of looking at it and saying it

1048
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: feels like a rap, and to echo Gary Woodland, yeah

1049
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: that stinks. That's not good for the game of golf.

1050
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: It's not good for sports, not good for entertainment. It's

1051
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: just not good for us wanting to see something that good.

1052
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: And it was, you know, we were seeing history, and

1053
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: we saw a lot of history throughout his career. But man,

1054
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: you consider and that crazy comeback and the fact that

1055
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: he ended up winning that tournament a few years ago,

1056
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: and just that the scene there and the redemption in

1057
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: that moment, and just you couldn't have scripted it any

1058
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: better than it played out for him in that tournament.

1059
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: But you go back to two thousand and nine, losing

1060
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: to Wayi Yang in that Major and then, of course

1061
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: what happened on Thanksgiving night that year, and it's life

1062
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: since that point in time, and it's just this is

1063
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: why I don't believe in a championship window. I'll talk

1064
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: more about that as a matter of fact when we

1065
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: come on the other side. Let's go back out to

1066
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: LA Let's grab Kevin Figures, and let's check in on

1067
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:27,439
Speaker 1: the latest.

1068
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 5: What's up, okayfig All right, Jason, We'll start with some

1069
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 5: news out of the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs picking up

1070
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 5: the contract option for star defensive tackle Chris Jones, giving

1071
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 5: them the ability to franchise tag him this offseason. He

1072
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 5: held out the entire twenty three offseason, set out the

1073
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 5: season opener against Detroit before agreeing to an incentive laiden deal.

1074
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 4: The Raiders.

1075
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 5: Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been suspended for two games for

1076
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 5: violating the league's performance and dancing drug policy. Multiple reports

1077
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 5: state that Vegas will release Garoppolo, whose suspension would allow

1078
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 5: them to avoid the eleven and a half million dollars

1079
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 5: that would be guaranteed to him for twenty TI twenty

1080
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 5: four and golf. As you were talking about, Jason, Patrick Cantley,

1081
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:04,919
Speaker 5: By the way, a five stroke lead through the first

1082
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 5: two rounds of the Genesis Invitation. Oh, but the tournament host,

1083
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 5: Tiger Woods did withdraw from the competition due to an illness,

1084
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 5: while Jordan Speith was as qualified for writing the incorrect

1085
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 5: score on his scorecard.

1086
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 4: College basketball San.

1087
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 5: Diego State with the victory over New Mexico State eighty

1088
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 5: one to seventy to move within a half game of

1089
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 5: Utah State for top billing in the Mountain West and

1090
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 5: the NBA All Start Friday and Pacers Guarden Ben Mather

1091
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 5: and winning the MVP honors for the Rising Stars competition

1092
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 5: for Team Jalen Rose.

1093
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 4: Back to Jason Martin.

1094
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Appreciated k Fig. Yeah, the two most interesting stories in

1095
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: the Genesis Invitation were both unfortunate Tiger Woods having to

1096
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: withdraw and Jordan Speed being dqed. Takes a little bit

1097
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: of the staying out of the weekend in terms of

1098
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: a couple of big names that you wanted to watch

1099
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: in that tournament. But good on Patrick Cantley, he was

1100
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: just playing outstanding golf lately. We are in the tire

1101
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Rack dot Com studios. I am Jason Martin. This is

1102
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, so I want to talk a little

1103
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: bit more about what I was saying about about championship windows.

1104
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: I have said for a while now, I don't believe

1105
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: in championship windows. You hear that we're right in the

1106
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: middle of this championship window for this team, are we, though?

1107
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: Like I mean seriously, because things change on a dime,

1108
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: and things change based on out of control circumstances and

1109
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: some that are in control, right, Like, sometimes things happen

1110
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: that you cause yourself, and sometimes things happen that you

1111
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: weren't necessarily expecting, or your body breaks down, right, and

1112
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: that's the other that you injury is another thing. And

1113
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: the example, and I always go to the same example,

1114
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: and you might roll your eyes if you've listened to

1115
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: me long enough, because I keep going to it. But

1116
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: it's just the best one I can come up with. Folks,

1117
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: The Orlando Magic were supposed to be a dynasty when

1118
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: they had Shack and then they drafted Anthony Hardaway. Well,

1119
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: they drafted Chris Webber and traded his rights because they

1120
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 1: wanted Penny Hardaway, because Shaq wanted Penny hard Away. They

1121
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 1: were supposed to be the next Bulls. They were gonna

1122
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: be that team. Penny and Shack and Nick Anderson and

1123
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: just the way that team was built at that point

1124
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: in time. But it was it was led by those

1125
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: two guys. I could name other ones, but there's supposed

1126
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: to be a dynasty. Even when they got to the

1127
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,639
Speaker 1: NBA Finals and they got swept by the Rockets because

1128
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: Nick Anderson just talked about miss four free throws in

1129
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: a row, Kenny Smith hit a big three centate to overtime.

1130
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: The Rockets end up winning that game and then sweeping

1131
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: the series. All but they'll be right back. Of course,

1132
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: they're going to be back, just like the Eagles are

1133
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: gonna be back in the Super Bowl this year, and

1134
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: just like I'm sure the forty nine ers are supposedly

1135
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: going to be back next year. A championship window is

1136
01:08:53,920 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: so dependent on things that we cannot foresee that. To me,

1137
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 1: it's just folly not to look at it in the

1138
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: moment and just say no, the championship window was always

1139
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 1: right now, because I can't guarantee anything passed right now.

1140
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee the future. I just can't. I can't

1141
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 1: tell you incontrovertibly, I'm supposed to be hosting twenty hours

1142
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: from right now with Arnie Spanier because Torres is gonna

1143
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 1: be out tomorrow, Aaron Toy is gonna be out this weekend,

1144
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: so this would be me and Arnie tomorrow night. I

1145
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: can't tell you beyond a like one hundred percent certainty

1146
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it on that show, because who knows

1147
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 1: what might happen over the next twenty four hours. Now,

1148
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: the very very good likelihood is I will be there,

1149
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: but I can't get there one hundred percent. I can't

1150
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: guarantee it. That's why I don't believe in a championship window.

1151
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you consider the dominance of Tiger Woods, right,

1152
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: consider how many majors he won, and it's just, well,

1153
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: how much further than Jack Nicholas is he going to go?

1154
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: And you and then the deal about how many second

1155
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: places Jack had and all this. But yeah, but I mean,

1156
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: Tiger's gonna get there. Tiger, Tiger's gonna end up doubling

1157
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: him in majors. I mean, look at his age and

1158
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 1: just it's they're having to change golf courses to try

1159
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: and stop him from winning because he's that good having

1160
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 1: a length in the courses, and Tiger prove him and

1161
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:30,839
Speaker 1: all this, and you look at it now and Tiger's

1162
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: probably not gonna get to that record almost surely isn't.

1163
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: And everything stopped in two thousand and nine, and no

1164
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: one could have seen him coming. Could they have seen

1165
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 1: WAYI Yang or somebody getting him in a major? Well,

1166
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: sure that's gonna happen to anybody. Not always gonna make

1167
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: the last second shot, not always gonna find the guy

1168
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 1: in the end zone wide open, or make the crazy throw.

1169
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna step in front of it that you didn't see,

1170
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,640
Speaker 1: or it's just gonna be a little bit off on

1171
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: that three steph and you're gonna lose that game or

1172
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: whatever it's gonna be. Somebody's gonna get you. It's what

1173
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: else happened. It's the life stuff that happened. It's the

1174
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: health stuff that happened that stopped him. Yes, some things

1175
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: that were in his control and some things that weren't.

1176
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he changed his swing repeatedly, but if you

1177
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 1: watched him long enough, you saw the torque that he

1178
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: was putting on his back on a fairly regular basis.

1179
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: And to then find out, yeah, back, neck, knee, all

1180
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff not doing so well as he's

1181
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 1: getting older. Yeah, I mean I'm forty five, and I know,

1182
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 1: if I exercised two three days in a row, I'd

1183
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: better stretch. I used to never stretch. Even now I

1184
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: have to like talk myself into it because it's not

1185
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: the most fun thing in the world. But if I

1186
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: don't do it, then I'm gonna have cramps that night

1187
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: in bed, and then the next day I'm really gonna

1188
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: be stiff. I'm just not the way I was when

1189
01:11:55,920 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: I was twenty five. That's just the way it is

1190
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 1: as he gets older. Certainly there's not a championship window

1191
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: now for Tiger Woods. But I mean, look at all

1192
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 1: these teams in the NFL. You say the same thing again,

1193
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic example I was giving you. They never

1194
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,679
Speaker 1: got back to the finals and shocking it up, leaving

1195
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 1: for the Lakers and Penny Hardaway and a lot of

1196
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 1: that Penny Hardaway got hurt. He was never the same again.

1197
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Credit to him. He changed his game and became a

1198
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: decent kind of mid range jump shooter that played for

1199
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: a couple of other teams. And I mean his career

1200
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 1: lasted longer than maybe it otherwise would have. He adapted

1201
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 1: his game similar to grand Hill. Like Grant Hill was

1202
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,799
Speaker 1: going to be one of the greatest players of all time,

1203
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 1: and Grant Hill's health didn't hold up long term in

1204
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: the NBA and he had to change his game. He

1205
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: and Penny very similar in terms of how they were

1206
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 1: able to stay in the league doing different things than

1207
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 1: what they were brought into the league to do. They

1208
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 1: adapted their game to fit what their body would allow.

1209
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: At the time, the idea of oh, we got three

1210
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: four years with these guys and we to cash went in. Now,

1211
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: you better win it now because you just don't know

1212
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Tiger Woods was supposed to break that

1213
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: record right like it was just a given. It was.

1214
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't a matter of if, it was just when

1215
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 1: and how fast and by how much? And now it's

1216
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 1: not even if it's no, he's not actually gonna break it.

1217
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: And it was how many championships are the Magic gonna win?

1218
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: And the answer ended up being none because they never

1219
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: even got back to the finals again. Next time they know,

1220
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic got to the finals. It was Dwight Howard

1221
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: and it was Jamie Nelson and it was Stan Van

1222
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: Gundy coaching them. Everything changes in a flash. Coming up

1223
01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: next from the tire Rack dot Com stew and I

1224
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about the Sports Megapac deal that they're doing,

1225
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 1: the streaming deal that's coming, and maybe we'll still do

1226
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 1: that by the end of the year. But big announcement

1227
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: in a world of entertainment regarding sports, something we've been

1228
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: waiting for for over a decade. It's on its way back.

1229
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: We will discuss that next. I'm Jason Martin and this

1230
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: is Fox Sports Radio. Wherever you are, welcome back on

Speaker 1: this Saturday morning. I'm Jason Martin. This is Fox Sports Radio.

1232
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: We're live int the ti rack dot Com studios. Thrilled

1233
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: you're here. We got one more hour to go here

1234
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,679
Speaker 1: in for Bernie Fratto. Bernie will be back next week,

1235
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: I think, but taking a weekend off deservedly so. So

1236
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 1: all right, so we're gonna we're staying with sports. We're

1237
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: going in a bit of a different direction because now

1238
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,719
Speaker 1: it's official and this is a this is a bigger

1239
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: deal than there are some of you out here who

1240
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 1: is just gonna say what and then a lot of

1241
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: you are going to understand exactly why I'm doing this.

1242
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: NCAA twenty five is coming this summer. College football is

1243
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: going to be back as far as the video game

1244
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:24,719
Speaker 1: world is concerned, if you did not know, video games

1245
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 1: now in just from a pure revenue standpoint, are bigger

1246
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 1: than movies, music, and television all combined. I don't think

1247
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 1: there are a lot There are a lot of people

1248
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:48,719
Speaker 1: that don't know that, but just the mobile video game

1249
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 1: industry dwarfs a lot of this just on its own.

1250
01:15:54,240 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: We're talking massive business and college football because of likeness

1251
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,640
Speaker 1: issues and the Edo Bandon lawsuit and all that kind

1252
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: of stuff. It went away after NCAA Football fourteen. That's

1253
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 1: how long it's been since there's been a college football

1254
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 1: video game, and it's going to be through EA Sports

1255
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: like it has been forever. And that game, by the way,

1256
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 1: that twenty fourteen game, the last one that came out

1257
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 1: that I think it was Denar Robins Summson. That thing

1258
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:26,640
Speaker 1: still sells for very high rates, especially considering it's not

1259
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: playable on anything. Well, I guess I don't even know

1260
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: if it's playable on a PS five, but I know

1261
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:32,720
Speaker 1: it was on A four because I had it for

1262
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: a time. But I don't want to talk about it

1263
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 1: in terms of us being celebratory, even though it's great.

1264
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: I can't wait and love it to death and really

1265
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: looking forward to it being back. Okay, that's all fine

1266
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: and well, but here's the thing. I'm a little bit

1267
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 1: concerned not about how it's gonna sell. It's gonna sell

1268
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: really well. I'm a little bit concerned because EA Sports

1269
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:06,680
Speaker 1: has not put out a even decently rated Madden installment

1270
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: in about half a decade. It's been a while, and

1271
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: this past year's ad Josh Allen on the front, was

1272
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 1: destroyed critically and by the fans. Like it's still sold

1273
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: like crazy. Again, this isn't about the sales. I think

1274
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: Madden was still like the fourth highest selling video game

1275
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 1: last year. People still buy it every year. But it

1276
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: was not good, and this isn't I understand everything is

1277
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: subjective when you say something like that, but this is

1278
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: about as close to objective as you can get. It

1279
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 1: was a bad video. It is bad. Very few people

1280
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Now this is going to be a bit

1281
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: of a different team, and it's not just going to

1282
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 1: be taking Madden and putting college football uniforms on it,

1283
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,759
Speaker 1: and it's going to have its own sheen and shine

1284
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: and all that it needs to because think about the

1285
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: expectations that have been built up from the NCAA game,

1286
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: which is always my favorite between that and Madden certainly,

1287
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 1: even though I'm a big gamer in general, have been

1288
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: my whole life, but college football over the NFL in

1289
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: the video game world for life. Basically, there have been

1290
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 1: a couple of times when Madden was the better game,

1291
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: but not many. NCAA has a lot of a lot

1292
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: writing on it, like it doesn't need to stink, you

1293
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like it's gonna sell. But if

1294
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: it sells and it's a failure from a fan perspective,

1295
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: if people don't like it, if the online doesn't work well,

1296
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: if it just doesn't have what it had before, there's

1297
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: nothing quite like the anticipation, right, There's nothing quite like

1298
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: the anticipation even for Christmas. Like there's nothing like the

1299
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 1: anticipation before you go see that movie that releases on Friday,

1300
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: that you've been waiting for for a year, that you've

1301
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: been watching the trailers four and all that kind of stuff.

1302
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 1: There's nothing quite like the big game that you've circled

1303
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: on your calendar at the beginning of the season. There's

1304
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: nothing like the anticipy a patient for it, and there's

1305
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: nothing more disappointing than when the hype is not lived

1306
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: up to. I don't know that there is a possibility

1307
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: that this game could live up to the hype because

1308
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: it has been begged for for so long, and there

1309
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: was a time where it was just, well, this is

1310
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: never gonna happen. But then you saw the nil rules

1311
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: change and the revenue sharing situation changed, and that made

1312
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: it possible to bring it back. And so we're gonna

1313
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 1: get it back this summer. But there's a lot writing here.

1314
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna sell no matter what, but how long it sells, right,

1315
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, and Madden still sells when it's bad, So

1316
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 1: it's college football going to sell for a decade. If

1317
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: it's bad for a decade, I don't know there's been

1318
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: a quality drop off because I mean, why would you

1319
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 1: make Madden that much better if it's still gonna sell

1320
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm a little concern just because I

1321
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 1: haven't seen EA do one of these right in a

1322
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: long time. But NCAA usually doesn't miss. I'm super excited

1323
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 1: about it. I know we will be talking about it

1324
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: when we get to the summer. We come back to

1325
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 1: open the third hour of the show All Star Weekend

1326
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: in the NBA. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't even

1327
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: realize it was this weekend, and I think that says

1328
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: a lot. We'll talk about that when we come back.

1329

Speaker 1: I'm Jason Martin, our three next here on Fox Sports Radio,

1333
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,639
Speaker 1: exactly sure what he's doing. Maybe he's traveling, he's doing

1334
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:36,120

1342
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: bit of just random stuff. There were a lot of

1343
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: other things. Caitlyn Clark Tiger Woods, a lot going on.

1345
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,400

Speaker 1: here in the third hour as well, before we even

1347
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: go further though one team I mentioned earlier in the

1348
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm kind of out on these guys going forward. I

1349
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,879
Speaker 1: just don't think there's something incomplete about them in the NFL.

1350
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: One of those teams, unfortunately, was the Jaguars. But I

1351
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: do have some good things to say about Jacksonville as

01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Orlando, big shout outs to you. Our newest

1369
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: Fox Sports radio affiliates just thrilled about that. So I

1370
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 1: gotta admit something. And I was gonna talk about this

1371
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 1: for a lot longer, but actually I'm gonna kind of

1372
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: change this and morph it into something else because I

1373
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 1: had something on it as a backup idea that I

1374
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: actually think needs to be brought to the four here.

1375
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:03,640
Speaker 1: So this is NBA All Star Weekend. He had the

1376
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 1: Rising Stars game as Benedict Matherin of the Pacers that

1377
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: was named MVP. And that game you had Wyn Beganna,

1378
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: you had chet Holm Grin of mya Oklahoma City Thunder.

1379
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,760
Speaker 1: Yet you had to look Pallo Bankaro. Yeah, there's a

1380
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: lot of really talented young players. And he had an

1381
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 1: NBA like we have an embarrassment of riches. It's gonna

1382
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: be fun to watch this league for a long time. Now,

1383
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: I gotta do something that's kind of embarrassing. I gotta

1384
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 1: admit I didn't realize it was All Star Weekend. Had

1385
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 1: no idea until I was going through websites this evening

1386
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: and I saw people talk or I saw an article

1387
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 1: about the Celebrity Games. It's like, oh yeah, when it's

1388
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: not coming up a couple of weeks. I guess, No,

1389
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 1: that was tonight or last night. Didn't even know. I

1390
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 1: guess I've had football so much on the brain and

1391
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 1: we've had to talk about it so much, And then

1392
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 1: you look at other sports, like even the Caitlin Clark thing.

1393
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 1: There have just been a lot more things with attention

1394
01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: than All Star Weekend. Not the d NBA. He's been

1395
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: an afterthought. It hasn't been. There's been interesting stuff this year. Again.

1396
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,839
Speaker 1: I just named some of those young players in season tournament.

1397
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't really my cup of tea, but a lot

1398
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: of folks enjoyed that. I think quality of play has

1399
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 1: been good. There's been no shortage of storylines. You got

1400
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: the Doctor Rivers, deal with the Bucks, you got all

1401
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: those things. I don't really have anything negative to say

1402
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 1: about the NBA. I'm literally just saying I had no idea.

1403
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: It was All Star weekend, and that's probably not good

1404
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 1: for somebody in my role. But here's where I'm gonna

1405
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: do the shift because I realized in this moment that

1406
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: it actually corresponds with something else that I had potentially

1407
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 1: planned to talk about later in this hour, and I'm

1408
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and move that to now. I had

1409
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 1: to admit I just didn't know. But that was not

1410
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: the biggest instance of someone or some entity this week

1411
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:03,520
Speaker 1: having to admit they didn't know something. The San Francisco

1412
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, some of their players admitted they did

1413
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 1: not know the overtime rules on Sunday when it came

1414
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 1: to both teams being able to possess the ball once

1415
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: even if a touchdown was scored. And this was all

1416
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 1: in regards to the fact that forty nine Ers won

1417
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: the toss and chose to take the ball instead of deferring.

1418
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,599
Speaker 1: And if you actually go back and listen, we did

1419
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 1: the show, We did the postgame Super Bowl show on

1420
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 1: Sunday night. It was me and Aaron Torres, who's my

1421
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 1: usual partner on Saturday nights, And when we first discussed

1422
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: it after the fact, I understood why Stanan did it,

1423
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 1: and I said, I don't understand the logic. Why are

1424
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 1: all these people saying you shouldn't taken the ball? Well,

1425
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:56,839
Speaker 1: let me admit something else to you. I had forgotten

1426
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 1: that the overtime rules changed between the regular season and

1427
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and forgot about the idea that a touchdown

1428
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: didn't end the game, that both teams got at least

1429
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:12,680
Speaker 1: one possession. And here's the reason why I'm mentioning that

1430
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: to you, because again, the forty nine ers didn't know it,

1431
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 1: But there were a lot of people in sports, big

1432
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: names like dudes that make eight figures, that were just

1433
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: this is humiliating for the forty nine ers not to

1434
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: know the overtime rules, every one of them, or the

1435
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 1: vast majority of them. I'm just gonna say it out right.

1436
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 1: I believe they were exactly like me. We kind of

1437
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: overlooked it, right, Like, I remember the rule change, I

1438
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: remember all of that, but for whatever reason, it did

1439
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 1: not connect with me immediately in the moment. Then once

1440
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 1: it did, then I listened to Kyle Shanahan's excuse when

1441
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 1: he said, well, you know, this is something we had

1442
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 1: talked about with the analytics. We wanted the ball third

1443
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 1: because at that point in time, you go score a touchdown,

1444
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:15,839
Speaker 1: the game's over. And I just said, well, that sounds

1445
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: great in theory, but what if there is no third

1446
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 1: and guess what there wasn't you kicked a field goal,

1447
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:26,759
Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown. It was over So that felt

1448
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:31,280
Speaker 1: like it was overthought. But I had originally thought that

1449
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe he was going to come out and say, well,

1450
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: I understand why you would want to do that, but

1451
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 1: in my case, my defense, actually both defenses look gassed

1452
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: big time in the fourth quarter, and so I wanted

1453
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: to allow my team defensively to have a bit of

1454
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: a breather before they had to go out there and

1455
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 1: deal with Patrick Mahomes on that offense again. So I

1456
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,640
Speaker 1: felt like we were probably better equipped to put the

1457
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: offense out there and put their defense out there because

1458
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: they were a little tired too. Maybe we could take

1459
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: advantage of that while also giving our guys a chance

1460
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 1: to breathe. I kind of that was what I had speculated,

1461
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:09,560
Speaker 1: maybe he was gonna say, And then he said the

1462
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:14,639
Speaker 1: thing about wanting the ball third, which is a little

1463
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:20,639
Speaker 1: walky to say the least. But there was a lot Again,

1464
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: there were just a lot of people in the media

1465
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,679
Speaker 1: that talked about how could they not know the overtime rules.

1466
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: I'll bet you most of those people did not know

1467
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: the overtime rules that suggested that that was something that

1468
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 1: slipped through the cracks with me too, And I was

1469
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: listening to Tony Romo on the broadcast saying, this is

1470
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 1: why you want the ball second because you always have

1471
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: the extra down, And that made sense to me even

1472
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: without the rules, just like right, you would want a

1473
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 1: second if you could have it, because then you know

1474
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:56,680
Speaker 1: you have four downs to get a first down every

1475
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: time because you're not gonna punt the ball. You already

1476
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: know if somebody has scored points, right, if they got

1477
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 1: the field goal, as the forty nine ers ended up doing, well,

1478
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: we got to kick a field goal, so we're not

1479
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: going to punt it on fourth down because the ball

1480
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 1: game's over. So we are playing four downs for ten

1481
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 1: yards as opposed to three in a punt. I mean,

1482
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 1: there are actually a couple of rules in that overtime

1483
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 1: that were new. Another rule I didn't know that. I

1484
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 1: think nobody really dogged them on this because nobody knew this,

1485
01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 1: and in real time I think we all thought, what

1486
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 1: are they doing. I'm sure a few people knew this rule,

1487
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,480
Speaker 1: but then Romo actually had to explain it on the broadcast,

1488
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 1: which was, why are you not taking time outs in

1489
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,719
Speaker 1: the last forty five seconds of the game or forty

1490
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 1: five seconds of this overtime period. Kansas City, you're cutting

1491
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:48,960
Speaker 1: this thing closed. So this thing gets to zero, you

1492
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: lose if you don't score. Of course, they score three

1493
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 1: seconds left, but not really, because that's the equivalent of

1494
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:58,679
Speaker 1: a quarter, not the end of the game. The overtime

1495
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: period was not fifteen minutes. Whoever's ahead at the end

1496
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 1: of fifteen minutes wins. It is based on drives. It's

1497
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,800
Speaker 1: based on they scored, so they have an opportunity to

1498
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 1: match regardless of how long that takes. What they were

1499
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 1: going to do was switch ends and keep going until

1500
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 1: that drive ended one way or the other. But that

1501
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 1: was something I don't think. I think five percent of

1502
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 1: people watch him maybe knew that, but very few and

1503
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 1: probably a lot of people on the field. A lot

1504
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 1: of players had to be told that because they were

1505
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 1: probably a little baffled at it about it as well.

1506
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: But the handwringing about the Kyle Shanahan thing. Should he

1507
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 1: have known the rule? Yeah, he should definitely have known

1508
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:41,000
Speaker 1: the rule, and I guess maybe he did, But the

1509
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,280
Speaker 1: fact that his players didn't, that's pretty poor communication. And

1510
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 1: I think it was actually made worse by the fact

1511
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 1: that the chiefs said, oh yeah, we practiced about that.

1512
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: We practiced that circumstance, and you know, we were all

1513
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 1: on the same page of what you do in that case,

1514
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 1: and da da da da dah. There was a disorganization

1515
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:03,559
Speaker 1: at that moment. That because it's Kyle Shanahan, because he

1516
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 1: of the twenty eight to three fame, and he of

1517
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 1: the came from ahead to lose to Patrick Mahomes now

1518
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 1: twice in a Super Bowl fame, I don't know how

1519
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 1: much of the benefit of the doubt he gets here,

1520
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: especially when after the fact he you know, within twenty

1521
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:24,480
Speaker 1: four to forty eight hours, they fire Steve Wilkes, defensive coordinator,

1522
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 1: and it looks like it's escapegoating. What's interesting about that

1523
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 1: is I had watched throughout the playoffs how forty nine

1524
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:40,719
Speaker 1: Ers fans were speaking about their own team amidst these games.

1525
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:43,439
Speaker 1: Usually I try to avoid comment sections, but I was

1526
01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 1: watching some of the real time chat that was going

1527
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 1: on on a couple of the most major sports websites

1528
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 1: just to see what was being said. And I would

1529
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 1: check it just here and there during all these games,

1530
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 1: just to get a sampling of what some people had

1531
01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 1: to say, and some of it's obviously you throw it out.

1532
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: But I did not see anything more negative the entire

1533
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 1: time than the forty nine Ers fans in totality, like

1534
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: there were very few positive things being said about them,

1535
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 1: even when they were winning. It was all about the Lions,

1536
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:15,000
Speaker 1: or it was all about the Packers, and it was

1537
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: a lot of it was Steve Wilks needs to be

1538
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 1: fired before the end of this game. I think forty

1539
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 1: nine Ers fans are fine with this happening. If you

1540
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 1: read Tim Kawakamedi's article, he says it was just a

1541
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 1: bad fit because there was a scheme that they wanted

1542
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:32,000
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes to come in and run, that he had

1543
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:35,599
Speaker 1: to assimilate to as opposed to Steve Wilks doing Steve

1544
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 1: Wilkes things. Steve Wilkes still very talented, but it just

1545
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 1: wasn't and he wasn't kind of the vocal guy that

1546
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:46,600
Speaker 1: Salah was or that Demico Ryans was. So there was

1547
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 1: just a bad It was just a bad mixture. It

1548
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 1: does look like the looks like he got scapegoated here.

1549
01:32:56,640 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 1: But what's the talk now about Kyle Shanahan you want

1550
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:03,800
Speaker 1: to talk about things I don't know right or things

1551
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: that I have to admit to admitted that I had

1552
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 1: forgotten or didn't realize it was All Star weekend this weekend.

1553
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:18,440
Speaker 1: I had overlooked that the rule change in the playoffs.

1554
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:23,600
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about that switch, which which did make the

1555
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 1: idea of getting not up taking the ball first very

1556
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: questionable at best. And now I'm just gonna admit, I

1557
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 1: do not know how you should feel about Kyle Shanahan

1558
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:43,720
Speaker 1: right now. I understand what he is offensively, but I mean,

1559
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 1: they got to win a super Bowl at some point

1560
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:50,240
Speaker 1: for his greatness to be solidified the way that it

1561
01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 1: is talked about in football circles about what a genius

1562
01:33:53,360 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: he is and this and that. I don't know. I

1563
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:04,599
Speaker 1: don't know what his future looks like five years from now.

1564
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he should be out of there now,

1565
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:07,600
Speaker 1: not at all. I think he's a great coach. I

1566
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 1: just is he a guy that's destined to win the

1567
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 1: big one? Or is he a guy that kind of

1568
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: does some weird stuff when you get that deep. And

1569
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:18,879
Speaker 1: we've seen that now happen multiple times, and that's starting

1570
01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:24,719
Speaker 1: to look more and more like the norm. Is that fair.

1571
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 1: That's something else I don't know. I do think I

1572
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:34,799
Speaker 1: know something about the forty nine ers, however, not involving

1573
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:37,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, and I want to talk a little bit

1574
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 1: about that when we come back, and that's Brock Party.

1575
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:47,960
Speaker 1: I think I know what Brock Party is and I

1576
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:52,799
Speaker 1: know what he's not. And I saw what one former

1577
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback had to say about him in the wake

1578
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,240
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl loss, and it made me want

1579
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:02,880
Speaker 1: to talk about him here on this program because yet again,

1580
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: the extremes on both sides turn out to both be

1581
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:13,599
Speaker 1: immensely wrong. This is not news. This is the way

1582
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:17,560
Speaker 1: it generally is, the highs and lows. I want to

1583
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 1: talk about that as it relates to Brock Party coming

1584
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:23,640
Speaker 1: off the Super Bowl loss and how he should be

1585
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:27,400
Speaker 1: evaluated going forward. So we'll do that. Next it is

1586
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. I'm Jason Martin. We are on Theentirerack

1591
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:50,639
Speaker 1: You can hear me usually Saturday nights with Aaron Torres.

1592

Speaker 1: This week Aaron's out, so it'll be Arnie Spaniard with

1593

Speaker 1: me and you can hear me Monday morning actually in

1595
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:00,720
Speaker 1: will be with Brian No that morning. Looking forward to

1596
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:04,320
Speaker 1: a couple of extra ones, including this one this weekend.

1597
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: It's fun blessing. So I said, you know, I admitted

1598
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:10,680
Speaker 1: to some things I didn't know before the break right.

1599
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:13,479
Speaker 1: I had forgotten that the All Star Game was this weekend,

1600
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:17,720
Speaker 1: that it was all start winging in the NBA. I

1601
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 1: actually goofed on the overtime rules in the NFL for

1602
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the way that they changed into playoffs.

1603
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure about Kyle Shannon, and I had

1604
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:30,759
Speaker 1: to admit I'm not really sure about him going forward,

1605
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:34,599
Speaker 1: like what that's going to be. But there is something

1606
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,120
Speaker 1: I do think I know about the forty nine ers,

1607
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:39,960
Speaker 1: and that's about their quarterback. And of course that's been

1608
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:42,559
Speaker 1: the talk, and it was going to be the talk

1609
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 1: winter lose a lot of it. It's going to be

1610
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,639
Speaker 1: about the quarterback anyway, but in this case, there's always

1611
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 1: going to be more about this guy in particular, and

1612
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 1: the reason why is because of where he was drafted,

1613
01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:55,720
Speaker 1: because he was mister irrelevant. He's constantly going to have

1614
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: to prove himself, and whenever something goes wrong, it's going

1615
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 1: to be a reason to go for a lot of people.

1616
01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 1: I just want to give you his record. He's twenty

1617
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:14,680
Speaker 1: five and twenty. I'm sorry, he's seventeen and four. He's

1618
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:16,800
Speaker 1: played in twenty five games, started twenty one of them.

1619
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 1: That's where I got that first set of numbers, four

1620
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:21,839
Speaker 1: out of had a wrong spot in my apology. Seventeen

1621
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:24,680
Speaker 1: and four first career. Okay, he's five to oho and

1622
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. This is regular season, of course, and

1623
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 1: then twelve and four this past year, so I think

1624
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:38,639
Speaker 1: he missed one game. So that's not even the postseason stuff.

1625
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:43,360
Speaker 1: That's just just as just as his stuff in the

1626
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: regular season. Okay. He threw for forty two hundred and

1627
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 1: eighty yards last year, thirty one touchdowns, eleven interceptions year before,

1628
01:37:54,120 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns, four picks. His completion percentage is sixty eight

1629
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:05,799
Speaker 1: point seven, so over two thirds of his passes throws.

1630
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 1: For his average first careers two hundred and twenty six

1631
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 1: yards a game, but that includes kind of the short

1632
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:14,600
Speaker 1: sample size and when they were really protecting him. In

1633
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 1: year one, he had one fifty two. Last year in

1634
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 1: those five games he had, he averaged about two sixty

1635
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 1: seven and a half this year. Quarterback rating for his

1636
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 1: careers one to eleven point four, it was one thirteen

1637
01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 1: this year, one o seven year past qbrs a right

1638
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 1: around seventy somewhere in there if you were to average it,

1639
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 1: but it was seventy two point eight this year. He

1640
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:40,599
Speaker 1: was an MVP candidate for some deep into the season,

1641
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:49,800
Speaker 1: and he's thrown in his twenty one regular season games,

1642
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 1: he's thrown for fifty six hundred yards and forty four touchdowns.

1643
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:01,760
Speaker 1: So I watched them in the super Bowl and I

1644
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: watched them in the playoffs, and there's investment on both sides. Right,

1645
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:12,719
Speaker 1: There's some that really want to defend him, and there's

1646
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:18,479
Speaker 1: some that really want to crush him, more so than

1647
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 1: any mister irrelevant in history. And I don't think we'll

1648
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 1: ever see it again. So what is Brock party? That

1649
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: was going to be a question no matter how the

1650
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ended, But it was just gonna be what's

1651
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 1: the narrative about Brock party going forward, and I think

1652
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:41,680
Speaker 1: that it's run the gamut. But a lot of it

1653
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 1: has been if the forty nine ers had a quarterback,

1654
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 1: they'd be the Super Bowl champions right now. We saw

1655
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:55,120
Speaker 1: the limitations all of that. I think it was Robert

1656
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:57,320
Speaker 1: Griffin third came out and basically said he was the

1657
01:39:57,320 --> 01:39:59,839
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league this year by the numbers.

1658
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 1: People need to accept that. NFL fans, NFL players need

1659
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 1: to understand how great he is. Da da. I think

1660
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:09,880
Speaker 1: that's that's generally that's sort of a paraphrase, but it's

1661
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 1: kind of that's in effect what he said. I like

1662
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:22,639
Speaker 1: RG three. I think that's a little bit much as

1663
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 1: do I think he should be out of the league

1664
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 1: and he can't be a starting quarterback in this league

1665
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 1: and look at this, you got to get better at

1666
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco, And I think that's wrong too. I think

1667
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:34,439
Speaker 1: they're both wrong. And this is usually how it works,

1668
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 1: especially in something that is sports, and it's much more

1669
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 1: opinionated in terms of it's more subjective, like you can't

1670
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:46,080
Speaker 1: just necessarily based stuff on facts. You have to look

1671
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 1: at ypothetical, So you have to look at what's happened

1672
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 1: in the past, but it doesn't necessarily dictate what happens

1673
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:53,760
Speaker 1: in the future. A lot of things can affect it

1674
01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: that are out of the quarterbacks control. When you look

1675
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 1: at win loss, it's a bad metric of how good

1676
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:01,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback actually is. Seventeen and four in this case

1677
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 1: would help him out, But is he really the quarterback

1678
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:06,960
Speaker 1: of the seventeen and fourteen? Are you what your stats

1679
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 1: say you are? Are you what your record says you

1680
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 1: are as a quarterback? No? I don't think so. Stats,

1681
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:15,679
Speaker 1: I think tell a little bit of a different story.

1682
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: So what is brock perty Rock party is eyed. That's

1683
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 1: what he is. He's He's alright, leaning towards pretty good.

1684
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a few clunkers, He's gonna have a

1685
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 1: few where he really plays well, and most of the

1686
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 1: time he's gonna be kind of middle of the road.

1687
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 1: He falls in that category with a lot of guys

1688
01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 1: who are not elite, not even close, but they're also

1689
01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 1: not bottom feeders. He is a solid NFL quarterback. You

1690
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:54,880
Speaker 1: can win a lot of games with him. You can

1691
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:56,840
Speaker 1: come close to winning a Super Bowl with him. I

1692
01:41:56,840 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 1: mean it was over time. Do you score a touchdown

1693
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:05,240
Speaker 1: in overtime with a better quarterback, maybe, but maybe you're

1694
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 1: not an overtime anyway. I mean, there was a miskick

1695
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:11,280
Speaker 1: in the game. There were special teams miscues where Party

1696
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 1: was standing on the sidelines. Had nothing to do with those.

1697
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 1: But there were also some bad throws. There were some

1698
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 1: wobbly throws. There was probably one more that should have

1699
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:21,920
Speaker 1: been picked off in the game. There were some overthrows.

1700
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 1: There were some mistakes made. Now there were mistakes made

1701
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 1: by every quarterback. But Party definitely is not immune to

1702
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 1: sub par play. But the reason that the forty nine

1703
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 1: Ers lost Super Bowl wasn't brock Purty. It was I mean,

1704
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:43,879
Speaker 1: if you want to look at it from an offensive standpoint,

1705
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 1: it was probably going away from Christian McCaffrey in the

1706
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:49,200
Speaker 1: second half, even though he didn't rush for If you

1707
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:51,400
Speaker 1: look at him statistically in the first half, it wasn't

1708
01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 1: all that good. I just think with that guy, you

1709
01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 1: keep handing to the ball, good things are eventually going

1710
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 1: to start happening, especially if you can find a way

1711
01:42:57,320 --> 01:42:59,560
Speaker 1: to get him the ball passing and running. If you

1712
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:02,679
Speaker 1: can get him in the flats, maybe on a screen

1713
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,519
Speaker 1: or two and a handoff, eventually he's gonna bust one.

1714
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of those guys. And they went

1715
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 1: away from him and they started throwing it too much,

1716
01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: And I don't think that was probably the best way,

1717
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:17,520
Speaker 1: because it actually lengthened the game. It gave Mahomes more possessions.

1718
01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 1: It made the possession shorter for the San Francisco offense

1719
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:26,760
Speaker 1: because it kept stopping the clock tired out at their

1720
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 1: defense maybe a little bit sooner. I just think it

1721
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:32,559
Speaker 1: was a bad strategy by somebody that understands offense really

1722
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:35,559
Speaker 1: well but sometimes gets in his own way. In Kyle Shanahan.

1723
01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: But brock perty Is, he's all right, He's fine. He's

1724
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: a fine quarterback. That's what he is. If you're a

1725
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers fan, is that good enough? That I

1726
01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to because it's dependent upon the fan.

1727
01:43:56,439 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 1: But if you had what you had this past year,

1728
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: this is probably the best look that you'll ever have

1729
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 1: at it. The NFC was down and it's getting better,

1730
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 1: and it's getting a little bit deeper after being shallow

1731
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:12,479
Speaker 1: for the last few years. Even in your own division,

1732
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot harder to get back

1733
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 1: there because the rams are common. They might be old

1734
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,599
Speaker 1: in a couple spots, but they're not done in those spots.

1735
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 1: They're veteran and leaders in those spots, but they are

1736
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 1: young in some other spots, and they're very good in

1737
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:28,040
Speaker 1: those spots. You look at Green Bay, you look at Detroit.

1738
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 1: Where's Caleb William's going to land If he's in Chicago,

1739
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 1: is not going to turn that thing around pretty quickly.

1740
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:38,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff here Philadelphia. Are they going

1741
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,720
Speaker 1: to be retooled this year and ready to fire? Maybe?

1742
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:47,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not going to get easier. It's brock Purty

1743
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:50,680
Speaker 1: good enough to be your quarterback. I don't know the

1744
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 1: answer to that. I'm a little skeptical about it. But

1745
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:56,920
Speaker 1: at the same time, I just I want to reel

1746
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 1: against the quick move to either bury the guy or

1747
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 1: put him on a pedestal. He's neither. He's not the

1748
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:12,160
Speaker 1: gold medalist, but he's also not the undertaker. Like he's

1749
01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 1: not somebody has to rise from the dead. He's also

1750
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 1: not somebody that's going to be standing on the top

1751
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 1: of the metal stand. Most likely, he is pretty good.

1752
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:25,120
Speaker 1: He and his coach get along well, and he usually

1753
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:28,120
Speaker 1: executes what his coach asked him to do. But there

1754
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 1: are limitations, and he is helped by the talent around him,

1755
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 1: but so is just about every good quarterback. So again,

1756
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 1: it's more about the rush to judgment that I wanted

1757
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 1: to comment on here because we knew this was going

1758
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 1: to happen, win or lose, and because he lost, it

1759
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 1: was all about, well, if only they would have had

1760
01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:49,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Well, you know, he didn't fumble the punt,

1761
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 1: he didn't miss the kicks. He might not have finished

1762
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,479
Speaker 1: a few drives. They should have had a bigger lead

1763
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:59,320
Speaker 1: at halftime than they did, considering how much better they

1764
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 1: played than the Chiefs. It appeared in the first half

1765
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:05,760
Speaker 1: of that game. He left the door just open enough

1766
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:08,320
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes isn't gonna slam it shut in your face.

1767
01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: But it did take overtime and an incredible performance in

1768
01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and that ot in order to do that.

1769
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:18,880
Speaker 1: Plus it took a great defensive effort from Spagnola's crew,

1770
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:25,719
Speaker 1: but they did get the job done. All right, we'll talk.

1771
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the All Star Game, We'll talk a

1772
01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:29,479
Speaker 1: little NBA here on the other side. Let's go to

1773
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:31,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Figures one more time and catch up on the

1774
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:32,760
Speaker 1: latest Sky Figure All right.

1776
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:38,559

1777
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 5: six holes on Friday after falling ill his second round

1778
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:45,439
Speaker 5: withdrawal reportedly not related to his ongoing back issues. He

1779
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 5: admittedly had a back issue at times in the first

1780
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 5: round on Thursday. Meanwhile, Jordan Speif was disqualified from the

1781
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:55,680
Speaker 5: tournament after he wrote down the incorrect score on his scorecard.

1782
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:58,800
Speaker 5: He did take four responsibility for it and apologized on

1783
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:02,519
Speaker 5: a post on x AKA Twitter. Patrick Canley, by the way,

1784
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:05,000
Speaker 5: leads the tournament by five strokes after shooting six under

1785
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:05,639

1797
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:39,879
Speaker 1: Martin, appreciated k fig It's never a Kevin Figures performance

1798
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 1: without the word Mollywop coming in. So I appreciate that

1799
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:44,640
Speaker 1: we are live in the Tirak dot com studios. I'm

1800
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:47,479
Speaker 1: Jason Martin, as you just heard in for Bernie Frado.

1801
01:47:47,760 --> 01:47:50,320
Speaker 1: Glad to be here. A couple more segments to go,

1802
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 1: so we have talked a good bit now of NFL.

1803
01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:56,439
Speaker 1: I do want to shift gears talk a loymba here.

1804
01:47:57,200 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 1: I'll finish up the show talking about comments from Victor

1805
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: whym Binyana after the Rising Stars game, which I think

1806
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 1: are they're refreshing, They're interesting. He is not. He is

1807
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 1: a confident young man and deserves to be so considering

1808
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:12,400
Speaker 1: the way he's played the first half of the season.

1809
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:15,160
Speaker 1: I think he's averaging twenty and ten and he's coming

1810
01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:16,639
Speaker 1: in the last two games for the All Star Game,

1811
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:18,839
Speaker 1: I think he had twenty seven and twenty six. He's insane.

1812
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna be fun to watch for a long time.

1813
01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:25,680
Speaker 1: But all right, so it's All Star weekend. But the

1814
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:27,439
Speaker 1: big story this week was about the Warriors and the

1815
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:29,639
Speaker 1: Lakers and the thing that didn't happen, which is Lebron

1816
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:33,960
Speaker 1: James joining Steph Curry in Golden State, and a phone

1817
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,560
Speaker 1: call that was made by Joe Lacob and the Warriors

1818
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 1: two Genie Buss and Bus basically said yeah, call Rich

1819
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:43,800
Speaker 1: Baul and talk to him. And the call and the

1820
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:47,360
Speaker 1: way it was described was Lacob calls up Bus and

1821
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:52,280
Speaker 1: basically says, so, how happy is Lebron? You know, we

1822
01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 1: saw that post on X with that emoji and when

1823
01:48:56,840 --> 01:49:02,280
Speaker 1: he was asked about his future, he's kind of wishy

1824
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:06,760
Speaker 1: washy and all that kind of stuff, and so we're

1825
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 1: right at the trade deadline. Reportedly the Warriors made that

1826
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 1: phone call, you know, Rich Paul shut it down really

1827
01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:15,960
Speaker 1: fast and he is not interested in leaving the Lakers,

1828
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:18,759
Speaker 1: and that was kind of it. But this thing blew

1829
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:23,800
Speaker 1: up this week, and I mean, we could talk about

1830
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:25,960
Speaker 1: what that would have looked like and what the Warriors

1831
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 1: would have probably had to give up to have gotten

1832
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Lebron James, and whether or not that would have been

1833
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 1: worth it, because they probably would have had to wager

1834
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:35,439
Speaker 1: whatever they believed their next step to be in the future.

1835
01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:37,520
Speaker 1: You would have had to get rid of a Kamenga

1836
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:39,800
Speaker 1: or one of the guys that's kind of part of

1837
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,479
Speaker 1: the or maybe both the guys or a couple of

1838
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:46,599
Speaker 1: guys that are part of the next corps. As we're

1839
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 1: seeing the end of Klay Thompson's career pretty close, Draymond

1840
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:53,479
Speaker 1: Green pretty close to the end. But I think he

1841
01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:57,880
Speaker 1: actually had given his blessing to this potential idea. Steph

1842
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 1: still got a little bit of time left, certainly, so,

1843
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean it would have been fascinating and would have

1844
01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 1: would have broken X and there have been a lot

1845
01:50:04,520 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 1: of it would have made something very interesting, certainly. I

1846
01:50:10,120 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: actually think that that what kind of struck me about it, though,

1847
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:16,479
Speaker 1: was how it was all this is incredible that this was,

1848
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:21,120
Speaker 1: that this phone call was made. Call me naive, but

1849
01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:24,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It didn't catch me that much off guard,

1850
01:50:24,160 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 1: not that this that it was Warriors, Lakers or whatever,

1851
01:50:27,560 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 1: but that any executive would call another one and inquire

1852
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 1: about a superstar they might I mean just be told no,

1853
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 1: like is it that bad? It was just like, wow,

1854
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:40,479
Speaker 1: this is such a unique circumstance that he placed this

1855
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 1: call to a Genie buss. It's just I mean, was

1856
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:47,799
Speaker 1: this gonna happen? No? I think that it was probably

1857
01:50:47,840 --> 01:50:51,439
Speaker 1: a big time long shot. But is there something wrong

1858
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:53,759
Speaker 1: which is placed in a call just to make sure

1859
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 1: you never know. Maybe they're gonna hang up on you,

1860
01:50:57,160 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 1: maybe they're gonna laugh at you, maybe they're gonna say, sure,

1861
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 1: give a six nonumber one picks. I mean, you know,

1862
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 1: you never know. But I mean think about Deshaun Watson, right,

1863
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:10,679
Speaker 1: somebody with a whole lot more backage than Lebron James,

1864
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 1: of course, but Deshaun Watson when he got that fully

1865
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 1: guaranteed deal, I mean, he didn't get that without his

1866
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:26,080
Speaker 1: representation asking for it. He wasn't gonna go to Cleveland

1867
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:28,720
Speaker 1: and they were like, how about we fully guarantee you

1868
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 1: a record setting contract. They're gonna pay me that, all right,

1869
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:33,519
Speaker 1: I'll go.

1870
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 4: You never know.

1871
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:40,680
Speaker 1: Unless you ask. Maybe they had a reason, Maybe there

1872
01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 1: was some tip off, and they did think they had

1873
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 1: reason to think. Maybe he was unhappy. The Lakers are

1874
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 1: kind of struggling. They it just didn't look like it

1875
01:51:50,600 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 1: was getting particularly it was getting better. Lebron seemed a

1876
01:51:55,080 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 1: little bit frustrated, a little impatient. Maybe may there was

1877
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:02,519
Speaker 1: something that could be done here. I don't know. I

1878
01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 1: just think it was it was baffling to me that

1879
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:09,960
Speaker 1: everybody was shocked. I just assume that everybody is wheeling

1880
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 1: and dealing behind the scenes all the time. It just

1881
01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:18,599
Speaker 1: it feels like there are so many almost deals that

1882
01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:24,680
Speaker 1: happen with megastars that would just leave our jaws on

1883
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:27,360
Speaker 1: the floor if we knew how many things almost happen

1884
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 1: that we'll never hear anything about that. There'll never be

1885
01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:32,599
Speaker 1: a leak about, There'll never be an article about called

1886
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:36,040
Speaker 1: laughed off. This one blew it off, this thing got

1887
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 1: fifty percent done, and they pulled back on it. There's

1888
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:41,360
Speaker 1: probably a lot of things that we never hear about.

1889
01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:44,600
Speaker 1: I think it was just because it was this guy specifically.

1890
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 1: But and again, maybe it is. Maybe it is really

1891
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 1: unprecedented and rare, and my philosophy on this is just wrong.

1892
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:56,559
Speaker 1: I'm willing to say that that's possible. But this just

1893
01:52:56,600 --> 01:52:58,920
Speaker 1: struck me as not really that big of a deal,

1894
01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:01,000
Speaker 1: not because it wouldn't been a big deal had the

1895
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 1: move been made, but that it just doesn't strike me

1896
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:06,880
Speaker 1: as a big deal that one team would call another

1897
01:53:06,920 --> 01:53:10,759
Speaker 1: one inquiring about a SuperStar's availability, like is this guy happy?

1898
01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:12,760
Speaker 1: You think you might want to change the scenery or

1899
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:15,840
Speaker 1: you guys happy with him all that. Now Lebron's a

1900
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 1: different animal, just because Lebron is such a marketing tool

1901
01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 1: and he's so important to the organization and you know,

1902
01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:30,040
Speaker 1: it's exposure and the brand and all that kind of stuff. Like, yeah,

1903
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:33,799
Speaker 1: that's it's an insane thing to place that call, I guess,

1904
01:53:33,920 --> 01:53:38,960
Speaker 1: but not really. I mean it's not. It just didn't

1905
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 1: seem as seismic as it was made out to be

1906
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 1: in so many of the pieces on this that I read.

1907
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 1: It was like this bombshell. I think that's what Zachloe

1908
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 1: called at ESPN. I think Zachlo is excellent at what

1909
01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:53,000
Speaker 1: he does. I did not think this is a bombshell

1910
01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:56,839
Speaker 1: piece of information. Just because it's like, oh, okay, somebody

1911
01:53:57,200 --> 01:53:59,320
Speaker 1: tried to see whether or not Lebron James was gettable,

1912
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:04,200
Speaker 1: found out and moved on with business. That just seems

1913
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 1: like that's enough, right, Like I don't know that. You know,

1914
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:14,120
Speaker 1: we need to get for klempt on this and ask

1915
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:17,160
Speaker 1: people to talk amongst themselves because we are, you know,

1916
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:20,639
Speaker 1: spent emotionally by a phone call being placed by one

1917
01:54:20,680 --> 01:54:23,759
Speaker 1: executive one team to another about another team about a

1918
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 1: possible transaction that just seemed more like business to me,

1919
01:54:27,200 --> 01:54:31,040
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. One guy that's very impressive on

1920
01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 1: the floor and just with his confidence in himself is

1921
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:37,800
Speaker 1: Victor Winbinyana, who did say in an interview over the

1922
01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:41,760
Speaker 1: last few weeks, I could be the best and I

1923
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:43,720
Speaker 1: did not. I wasn't able to watch the clips, so

1924
01:54:43,760 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that meant ever or in the

1925
01:54:45,640 --> 01:54:50,920
Speaker 1: current NBA. But he's doing some special stuff already and

1926
01:54:50,960 --> 01:54:54,080
Speaker 1: we have a long career to watch barring, you know,

1927
01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: something unforeseen or something really really unfortunate. But after the

1928
01:54:59,400 --> 01:55:03,960
Speaker 1: Rising Star game, he was asked a question about the

1929
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 1: rebuild in San Antonio. His comments are refreshing and they

1930
01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:13,840
Speaker 1: should make Spurs fans really excited about the future. I'll

1931
01:55:13,840 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 1: tell you about those when we come back. I'm Jason

1932
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:18,920
Speaker 1: Martin and this is Fox Sports Radio final segment of

1933
01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:21,800
Speaker 1: the programs. I'm Jason Martin. This is a Jason Martin

1934
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:24,040
Speaker 1: show here on Fox Sports Radio live from the Tyraq

1935
01:55:24,120 --> 01:55:28,320
Speaker 1: dot Com studios. In for Bernie Fratto. He's out this weekend.

1936
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:32,240
Speaker 1: Wish him the best. Look forward to hearing him back

1937
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:36,960
Speaker 1: next week. I'm on ex at JMAR Radio if you

1938
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:41,320
Speaker 1: want to find me there. So Victor Wimbinana has been

1939
01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:45,160
Speaker 1: as advertised, he's young, He's only gonna get better, and

1940
01:55:45,200 --> 01:55:47,840
Speaker 1: he's already just he's a highlight reel waiting to happen.

1941
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:52,800
Speaker 1: Every night he's in the Rising Stars Game. It's a

1942
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:56,840
Speaker 1: it's all Star weekend, of course, and so you you

1943
01:55:56,920 --> 01:55:58,560
Speaker 1: got to see kind of the young guns of the

1944
01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:03,000
Speaker 1: league on Friday, and leagues in pretty good hands from

1945
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:06,879
Speaker 1: a talent standpoint, really is and that's good to see.

1946
01:56:07,320 --> 01:56:08,840
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some depth. There's gonna be a lot

1947
01:56:08,880 --> 01:56:11,080
Speaker 1: of good players in a lot of cities across the country,

1948
01:56:11,120 --> 01:56:13,400
Speaker 1: which is gonna make a lot more teams viable and

1949
01:56:13,520 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 1: marketable and fun to watch. Wemby is something unique. Of course,

1950
01:56:19,640 --> 01:56:21,880
Speaker 1: he's also very confident talked about how he could be

1951
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:25,120
Speaker 1: the best. Again, I'm not sure if that meant ever

1952
01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:27,839
Speaker 1: in context or if it just meant in the current NBA.

1953
01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:30,400
Speaker 1: Either way, that's a that's a pretty confident thing to

1954
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:35,080
Speaker 1: say halfway through your first season. But so he was

1955
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:38,120
Speaker 1: asked about the he was asked after the Rising Stars Game.

1956
01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:42,440
Speaker 1: He was asked about the Spurs and the process they're in.

1957
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:46,600
Speaker 1: Had made the playoffs since twenty eighteen. Of course, they

1958
01:56:47,080 --> 01:56:50,000
Speaker 1: draft him number one. But they're in a rebuilding phase.

1959
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:53,280
Speaker 1: This is gonna take some time. He's gonna take some

1960
01:56:53,320 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 1: good moves, and it's gonna take some growth and some

1961
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:59,040
Speaker 1: guys just getting a little bit older. And you know,

1962
01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 1: you got Popovich, but you got to be patient. And

1963
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 1: that's what Wenby was asked. He was asked about patience,

1964
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:10,400
Speaker 1: and here's what he said. He said, this is a quote.

1965
01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:14,600
Speaker 1: He said, I'm not skipping steps, meaning you know, steps

1966
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 1: of progress, steps of patients, all that he goes. I'm

1967
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:20,879
Speaker 1: not skipping steps. I've been told never to skip steps

1968
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:24,760
Speaker 1: my whole life, but it didn't stop me from running

1969
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 1: up the stayers. Of course, it's and by it he

1970
01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:34,080
Speaker 1: means the build here and the growth and the success.

1971
01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:35,800
Speaker 1: It's something I want to be a part of in

1972
01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:40,360
Speaker 1: the future. For now, I'm just a student of this league.

1973
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't really know how everything works, but I want

1974
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:46,680
Speaker 1: to be highly involved with this in the future. Unquote.

1975
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:50,160
Speaker 1: So what he's saying here is, first off, he's still

1976
01:57:50,200 --> 01:57:52,880
Speaker 1: young and he's still learning, but he wants to be

1977
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 1: involved in this rebuild means he will to be part

1978
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:56,040
Speaker 1: of it. I think that probably means I want to

1979
01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:57,760
Speaker 1: be part of the decision making process. I want to

1980
01:57:57,760 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 1: be part of the mentoring process. I want to help

1981
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:04,160
Speaker 1: whoever comes in here. I want them to build this team.

1982
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:06,880
Speaker 1: He did say it. He kind of wants to build

1983
01:58:07,520 --> 01:58:10,880
Speaker 1: around him, which, of course they will be anyway. But

1984
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 1: I love I love that idea. I've been told never

1985
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:16,120
Speaker 1: to skip steps my whole life, but it didn't stop

1986
01:58:16,160 --> 01:58:19,200
Speaker 1: me from running up the stairs. So, yeah, he understands

1987
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:21,840
Speaker 1: there are steps to this, but he's gonna try and

1988
01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 1: shoot through them as fast as possible. It's not gonna

1989
01:58:25,160 --> 01:58:27,360
Speaker 1: be a ten year process. In his mind, he's saying,

1990
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 1: he's saying, I am not gonna wait around. We're not

1991
01:58:31,400 --> 01:58:33,800
Speaker 1: just gonna sit on our laurels here. We're gonna try

1992
01:58:33,800 --> 01:58:35,920
Speaker 1: to get better every single night. I'm gonna try to

1993
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:37,880
Speaker 1: get better every single night, and I'm gonna try to

1994
01:58:37,880 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 1: make sure my teammates are better every single night. That

1995
01:58:41,520 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 1: is a that's a good perspective to have, man like,

1996
01:58:45,200 --> 01:58:48,360
Speaker 1: And if you're a Spurs fan, anybody would want to

1997
01:58:48,400 --> 01:58:50,400
Speaker 1: hear that from their star. Anybody want to hear that

1998
01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:55,200
Speaker 1: from somebody that young who's just like, yeah, man, there's

1999
01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 1: a bright future here. I'm really excited about what I'm

2000
01:58:57,760 --> 01:58:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do as I get older and

2001
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 1: start to learn a little bit more about this league.

2002
01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm still a baby here. It's gonna be fun to

2003
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:08,480
Speaker 1: watch be here for the ride. That's marketable, man like,

2004
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:12,040
Speaker 1: that's a great quote. I've been told never to skip

2005
01:59:12,080 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 1: steps my whole life, but it didn't stop me from

2006
01:59:14,400 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 1: running up the stairs and aim into that. Put that

2007
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:21,040
Speaker 1: on a T shirt. Shack like that one right there.

2008
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 1: If the Spurs don't put that in their shop, there's

2009
01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:28,480
Speaker 1: something wrong unless it's somebody else's quote. As long as

2010
01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:32,560
Speaker 1: it's Wemby's quote, you got to give him that. That

2011
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:36,160
Speaker 1: is tremendous stuff from him, and you need more of

2012
01:59:36,200 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. That is a winning mentality if

2013
01:59:39,560 --> 01:59:42,320
Speaker 1: ever I have heard one. It's been fun being in

2014
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:46,000
Speaker 1: here for Bernie Frado tonight. Wasn't able to bring the

2015
01:59:46,040 --> 01:59:49,520
Speaker 1: gambling stuff that's not really my thing, but he'll be

2016
01:59:49,560 --> 01:59:51,640
Speaker 1: back next week. You can hear me with Arnie Spanier
