1 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: What is up straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Streight 3 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: Fire for Monday, July twenty ninth. The Olympics are underway. 4 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: I actually checked out the Olympics over the weekend a 5 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: little more than I thought I would. Now my daughter 6 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 2: and her friends are all like, oh, Dad, do we 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: have peacock? And I was like, yeah, we have peacock. 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: I watched bell Air. That's all I know about peacock, 9 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: really bell Air, and maybe there's one other show on peacock. 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 2: But so he called a peacock and you can like 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: cycle through everything. I really only care about the basketball, 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: but I did check out some volleyball men's basketball. Sorry 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: to the ladies, No Kitlyn Clark. I'm just not that interested. 14 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 2: And there actually is a Kitlin Clark angle, but I'm 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: gonna hold off on it because there's other good stuff today. 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: A lot of fun NFL news buried in a Friday 17 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: news dump while Rob g was on his way to Vegas. 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: Friday news dump of quarterback contracts. I'll get into my 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: theory later, but I think we have to start, obviously 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: with the Uns men's team going against Serbia and basically 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: smashing him, winning by twenty six points. It was not 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 2: close in the second half, and I mean there's a 23 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: lot of angles to take with this one. I think 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: this is one of those games where it was like, 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: obviously Lebron was tremendous with twenty one to nine and seven. 26 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 2: He was excellent. I mean, flying all over the place. 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 2: I love the knocking the ball off the rim. You 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: could do that in FOBA play, and you know it 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: takes a high IQ guy who spent his entire career 30 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: in the NBA to oh, that's why I can knock 31 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: this off. And Lebron just knocked one off the rim. 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: Very cool stuff. And I am starting to see a 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: bit of a tied turning on the whole Lebron thing. 34 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: What he's doing at thirty nine, he basically looks like 35 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: the so far the best player in the Olympics. Now 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: we have gone up against Giannas or Wemby and both 37 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: had monster games over the weekend. Although Yanni's lost, Lebron's 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: just playing at another level. It is incredible, and folks, 39 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: he's gotta love this. Remember twenty seven minutes, that's all 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: he's gotta do, and it's not like he's got to 41 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: run the offense. Everything goes through him. That ain't the 42 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: show when Lebron's in there. Oh look, i've got all 43 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 2: NBA Devin Booker, all NBA's Steph Curry. Oh, let me 44 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 2: kick it over here to you know, Kevin Durant, who's back. 45 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: And Kevin Durant should be the biggest story out of 46 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: this game. But of course, you know what, the haters, 47 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: they're gona they're gonna find a negative story in a 48 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: twenty six point blowout when the US look tremendous, and 49 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: they're gonna they're gonna latch onto that. So I am 50 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: going to be positive to start the pod not only Lebron, 51 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: but the return of Kevin Durant. And you guys remember 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: last week, I think it was after the Germany game, 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: we opened the pod basically asking did to see us 54 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: need Kevin Durant, Like, I mean, listen, they're they're narrowly 55 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: beating Germany. They're not bigs. We can't waste a roster spot. 56 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: What's up with KD? Then he played in the scrimmage, 57 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: did not do any of the exhibitions, comes out and 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: I wrote out in my notes, So Serbia gets off 59 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: to a good start once again, say starting Joel and 60 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: bid and I think it beats a bigger story than 61 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, but we'll do both. D Us has another 62 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: clunky star just out of the gate. Not great. They're 63 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: down nineteen to fourteen, and all of a sudden, Kevin 64 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: Durant goes to the scorers table and checks in. Then 65 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: Serbia makes a free throw. It's twenty to fourteen Serbia 66 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: and two less than two and a half left in 67 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: the first quarter. Okay, twenty to fourteen Serbia winning KAD 68 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: first touch splash from deep. It was like a Derek 69 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: White drive. Yeah, Derek White's playing a lot, playing well defensively. 70 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: Derek White drives and then he kicks it to Ant 71 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: in the corner and then just the rote beautiful ball 72 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: rotation to KD splash and it's like, oh boy, here 73 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: we go, just a beautiful touching, like that's the KD. 74 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: I know that's the greatest scorer in USA basketball history, 75 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: that's him. And then Kevin Durant later, as the quarter's 76 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: widing down, he has a three to I think extend 77 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: the lead to UH three. It was a quick nine 78 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: to nothing burst with Katie hitting two threes, then on 79 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: the at the buzzer to end the first half, he 80 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: hits another one. I mean, Durant was just flame throwing everything. 81 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: Makes his first seven shots twenty one points, and as 82 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: soon as he checked in, they went from down twenty 83 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: to fourteen to a thirteen to nothing run and they 84 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: led twenty seven to twenty. Kevin Durant totally changed his game. 85 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: People can talk about Lebron who was tremendous. People can 86 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: say Drew Holliday was freaking excellent. The US made eighteen threes, 87 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: they shot fifty six percent from three. We're not losing 88 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: to anybody. We're beating everybody by double digits. If we're 89 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: making eighteen threes or shooting over fifty percent from three, 90 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: that's it. That's a wrap. This ain't her heart. This 91 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: is not rocket science, folks. Okay, Booker four threes, Steph three, 92 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 2: Drew Holiday three, KD five for five, Anthony Edwards two, like, 93 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: this is unstoppable when you're shooting it like that, Yane losing. Okay, 94 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: it was a tremendous performance. Obviously, Katie didn't do much 95 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: in the second half, twenty three points in seventeen minutes 96 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: and Listen, I'm not gonna knock him. You play seventeen minutes, 97 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: you don't get any assists, no steals, no blocks. But 98 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: he did get two rebounds. He's not out there just 99 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: getting cardio, okay. But they eased him in and it 100 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: was a great start for Katie, very promising. Now the 101 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: rough news is when you insert one of the great 102 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: scorers in the history of basketball, who is the greatest 103 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: international basketball player in US history. That's Kevin Durant. And 104 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: that's not listen, that's not hyperbole. He is the leading 105 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: scorer in USA basketball history. He is unbelievable. In FIBA basketball, 106 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 2: he cannot be Like, you can match up with guards 107 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: and bigs, Okay, you can't match up with Kevin Durant. 108 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 2: You're not gonna find any international players who are on 109 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: his level. Well not yet. Let's see if Wemby guards him. 110 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: But I digress. So who falls out of the rotation 111 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: to get Katie in it? Because it was clear from 112 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: Steve Kerr that he likes not maybe not so much 113 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: the hockey changes here, which he didn't totally do like 114 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 2: he did in the exhibitions, but it was more of 115 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: a two in, two out kind of deal, and one 116 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: big loser, if you will, was Joel Embiid. Now we 117 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: could see this coming in the exhibitions. We talked about 118 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 2: a lot. It's not that he's not built for international basketball, 119 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 2: but this is like his first experience with it, and 120 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: it's clearly a steep learning curve. This is not the NBA. 121 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: It is a physical brand of basketball. They don't want 122 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: to hear you complaining. You guys know who complains Joel 123 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: embie They don't want to hear it like throwing your 124 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: arms up and being like what the hell? That's like 125 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: an instant warning and then they'll tee up or they'll 126 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: just tea up. And sadly, that's like Embiid's looking looking 127 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: for all these calls and it's like, bro, international basketball 128 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: is a contact sport, like they're getting after you. And 129 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: it was physical. Embiid didn't handle it, I thought particularly well, 130 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: and so he didn't play a lot. Eleven minutes. Now, 131 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: the beneficiary, obviously, bam Adebayo was excellent at both ends. 132 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis continues to excel, but the biggest beneficiary obviously 133 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant. So who's the big loser? And this is 134 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: what everybody focused on yesterday. I didn't even think it 135 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: was really worthy of discussion. I asked Rob G what 136 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: is his thoughts oh to Jason Tatum, and I'm like, 137 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 2: I don't think this is as big of a story 138 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: as people want to say. I can be wrong. I'm 139 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: sure it's gonna click. A lot of people gonna are 140 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: gonna talk about it. But why because, as JJ Reddick 141 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: astutely pointed out, engagement farming is a thing. Why would 142 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: I talk about a twenty six point USA victory when 143 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: I can bash Jason Tatum and further my point that 144 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: he's not a superstar in the NBA First Team All 145 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: NBA the last three years. He's not a superstar. He 146 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: was on the bench and got it, did not play 147 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: coach's decision. How is he good? And that's what people 148 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: are doing online and it just annoyed the hell out 149 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: of me, and I like an idiot. I got in 150 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 2: like a little pissing contest with some people and then 151 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: I was like, what am I doing? This is Sunday. 152 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: I'm going to the beach. I got to lock in 153 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: because I got my playoff semi final game last night. 154 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: I don't have time for these morons. You guys can 155 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: go ahead and take shots at Jason Tatum all you want. 156 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: We know he's a great basketball player. So here's clearly 157 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: what happened. It was a matchup dependent game and this 158 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: was not a Tatum game. And Steve Kerr, even talking 159 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: to Windhorse afterwards, said he felt bad about it. But 160 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: I guess Tatum knew before the game. He had said. 161 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: I talked to Tatum. We wanted to, you know, keep 162 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: our rotation, and he was kind of the odd man out. 163 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 2: Now does it look weird that Derek White shows up 164 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: for Kawhi Leonard? Derek White shows up what two weeks ago? 165 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: And I almost feel like he was the first or 166 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: second guy off the bench. Now, Obviously, listen, Drew Holliday 167 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: and Derek White are similar players. I think Holiday is 168 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: a much superior player, obviously, and that's why he starts. 169 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: But you need that one defensive, high IQ guy who's 170 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: gonna block shots if he gets switched onto a big, 171 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: he's got the length to handle it. Holliday and Derek 172 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: White are perfect players for international basketball. And oh, by 173 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: the way, they both play for the Celtics. What does 174 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: it say that the Celtics' best player that's Jason Tatum 175 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 2: did not play. What does it say that the finals 176 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: MVP Jalen Brown ain't even here. What does it say 177 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 2: that Holiday and White are playing a lot and effectively? 178 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: And I'll say nothing. I really don't think this is 179 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: a huge deal. Holiday and White are guards. They specialize 180 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: in defense, and they're long difficult to get around pesky guards. 181 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 2: Tatum and Brown are wings. It just so happens that 182 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 2: the greatest wing on this team also happens to be 183 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: the greatest player in the history of basketball, Lebron James. 184 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 2: And when you can get twenty seven minutes of Lebron 185 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: a night at this level, nobody's turning that down. And 186 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: then what does it say about Kevin Durant, who is 187 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 2: one of the greatest scorers in the history of the sport? 188 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: And yeah, I know he's getting up there in age, 189 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 2: but when he can come in and go five for 190 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: five from three and play seventeen minutes, like, who's not 191 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: taking that? So this is where we are. It's like, oh, well, 192 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: Tatum's not playing, dude, look at the guys in his spot. 193 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: It's Lebron and it's Kevin Durant. And oh, by the way, 194 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: they're not really good. They're going it with a three 195 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 2: guard lineup most of the night. Whether it was Booker, 196 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: Holiday Currie, whether it's Aunt White Currie, whatever it was, 197 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: it was usually three guards and two bigs. The NBA 198 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: is a wing lead league. FEBA basketball not really so 199 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: much a wing. I mean, there's nobody to match up 200 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: with Durant, and essentially Tatum was kind of sort of 201 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: the odd man out. I don't think it's the end 202 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 2: of the world. I think he'll definitely play in other games. 203 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: I think matchups matter at this level and rob them. 204 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 2: So I just don't think it's like an indictment of 205 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: Tatum at all. I thought he handled it well. Haliburton 206 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: did not play, but I just I don't like the 207 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: negative narrative that, well, he didn't play, so he's not good, 208 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: Like this isn't the NBA. Okay, it's just for a 209 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: forty eight minute game. You're sure Tatum would have played 210 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: because you're not having Lebron log thirty five minutes or anything. Right, 211 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: It's a forty minute game and it's really about the 212 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: bigs and the guards. At least this matchup was will 213 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: things change? Hold up? I have their next game, I 214 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 2: think it's against South Sudan on Yes, South Sudan Wednesday 215 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 2: at twelve o'clock. Will that match up be different? I 216 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: would almost be certain it is because South Sudan is 217 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: not a team with biggs. Serbia had bigs. I think 218 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: South Sudan will play wings and guards, and I think 219 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: this will be a much more game reliant upon Tatum. 220 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked if, like Joel Embii didn't play 221 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: against South Sudan and they went with just An Ant 222 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: and bam Adebayo rotating at center. I don't know, we'll 223 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: see Kerr has options and Rob I just I can't 224 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: freak out. I know you've got takes. I'm very excited 225 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: to hear them.

What Steve Kerr is doing in 268 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: this Olympic run here, both including the exhibition and this 269 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: one game that really counts for seeding, is showing that 270 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 3: he is having an extremely difficult time adjusting to the politics. 271 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 3: Because you and I have said on this podcast now 272 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks it is abundantly clear that 273 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 3: Joel Embiid is getting the kind of run that he's 274 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 3: getting because there was some kind of backdoor promise made 275 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 3: that said, hey, if you play for us and not 276 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: for France and not for Cameroon. We will guarantee you 277 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 3: a starting job, no questions asked. That is the only 278 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 3: reason I can fathom as to why Joel Embiid in 279 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: a game that Team USA won by let me get this, 280 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 3: twenty six points was a plus minus of minus eight 281 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: in eleven minutes. And I can promise you he is 282 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: going to start the next game against South Sudan. Steph 283 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 3: Curry your favorite player of all time. You arguably believe 284 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: he's one of the top ten greatest players in NBA history. 285 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 3: I'm not gright there, but I think Steph Curry is amazing. 286 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 3: What he's done for basketball is something that should be 287 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 3: commended for years and years and years until my kids 288 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 3: kids kids. 289 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 4: Are done watching basketball. 290 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: But Steph Curry in this Olympic run, outside of one 291 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 3: game against Serbian he's like six for nine for three, 292 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 3: has been mediocre, point blank period. He has not been 293 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: good at all. 294 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: I don't think he's been amazing. Now, he did have 295 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: the No Look three, which is like probably the coolest 296 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: highlight from this game. I'm sure it's everywhere I posted 297 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: on my IG like that was probably the highlight. It 298 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: was Curry. But you're right, Yeah, I would say, I 299 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: don't tell you. I don't know if he's been okay, 300 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: say garbage. 301 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 3: No, he's been mediocre, okay, mediocre throughout this run through 302 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: with the six games, shooting thirty nine percent for three 303 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 3: which is good. Nothing to sneeze. I'm not going to 304 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 3: complain about thirty nine percent. But Steph Curry is the 305 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 3: greatest shooter in NBA history. He is on this team 306 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 3: because he's going to hit open jump shots and he's 307 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: going to get a ton of them no matter who 308 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 3: he's playing against. Because the roster is that loaded. Steph 309 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: Curry should be shooting in the high forties. To be 310 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: quite honest with you, he should be shooting like Carmelo 311 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: Anthony was when he was part of that Redeemed Team 312 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 3: twenty twelve era, when he was arguably one of the 313 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: greatest scorers in Olympic history. If you take away his 314 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 3: six for nine performance against Serbia in the first match, 315 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 3: Steph Curry across the other five games is shooting thirty 316 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 3: one percent while while also being targeted on defense, while 317 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 3: also not providing anything with the rebounding in the assist department. 318 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 3: And yet I can promise you Steph Curry against South 319 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 3: Sudan is going to be guaranteed a starting job. He's 320 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: going to be guaranteed twenty plus minutes. Jason Tatum, while 321 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 3: has been uneven i'll say so far in this run, 322 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 3: has done nothing that would suggest that he should have 323 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 3: his minutes cut. 324 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: Period. 325 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 3: He's not turning the ball like Anthony Anthony Edwards is. 326 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 3: He is not getting you know, picked on relatively the 327 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 3: way Devin Booker is on the defensive end. He is 328 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 3: a much bigger threat offensively than Derrek White and Drew Holliday. 329 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 3: And for whatever reason, Steve Kerr has decided, I'm only 330 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: gonna play two bigs at a time, whether I'm only 331 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 3: gonna play MBD AD and BAM, I'm gonna have Lebron 332 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 3: James at power forward and I'm gonna have KD masquerading 333 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: as a power forward. Other than that, I'm gonna play 334 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 3: three guards no matter what, no matter what the other 335 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 3: guys are doing. That's the way I'm gonna play. That's 336 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: what I decided is gonna work for us, and you 337 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 3: might win because the talent level is so you know, 338 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 3: disparaging between USA and everybody else. Because Lebron and KD 339 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 3: alone can probably win this tournament by themselves. Those two 340 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 3: guys and pick three other dudes can probably do it. 341 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 3: But what Steve Kerr is doing to Jason Tatum is 342 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 3: so wildly disrespectful. I don't understand how he's able to 343 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 3: avoid criticism. 344 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: Oh, everybody loves Steve Kerkr, nobody's gonna come. 345 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 3: I don't get it. I do not understand it. Jason 346 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 3: Tatum is an All NBA player. Jason Tatum is arguably 347 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 3: a top five player in the NBA. Jason Tatum should 348 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 3: have won Finals MVP a couple of weeks ago. Jason 349 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: Tatum is the best player on one of the best 350 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 3: teams that we've seen in the last twenty years, and 351 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 3: you're getting him a DMPCD against Serbia in a game 352 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 3: that you won by twenty six points. Steve Kurt needs 353 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: to be taken to the wood shed verbally for what 354 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 3: he's done in this. 355 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 2: Okay, So here's I guess the counter would be who 356 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: you pull it off the floor and like, what's the 357 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: rotation or lineup? And you could say, well, hell, just 358 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: get Derek White out of their Tatum Guguard Gards. Maybe 359 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 2: by the way, Dwayne Wade had a bit of a 360 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: rough call on this. I didn't know he was like 361 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: an announcer, and initially I was like, wait, is that 362 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: twin Wade? And you know, he mixed in a couple 363 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: of good stories when I was playing, you know, my 364 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 2: time with Lebron. I never took a chart like some 365 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: of the stuff was okay, but when it was just 366 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 2: straight up on the commentary of the game, he was 367 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: not great. I did not think he had a good 368 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 2: game at all. And all these Celtics fans are upset 369 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: he apparently he Waite claims that, oh, Derek White doesn't 370 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 2: have much of a vertical jump. You know, I way 371 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 2: bigger vertical than him. Apparently he said that in the 372 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: game and then they looked it up and like Derek 373 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: White actually at the combine had a better higher vertical 374 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: than Tway Wade, which is kind of comical. And listen 375 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: why it's a good player. But like, I don't think 376 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 2: you can just say, hey, we're gonna go big here 377 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: and go with Tatum at the two or not go 378 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: with the three guard. Look, I you know it's interesting 379 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: to hear go excuse me going after Kerr for this. 380 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: He is universally liked. Everybody likes his staff of Spolstra. 381 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: And by the way, if anything was this pitched by 382 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 2: Spolstra as a way to further potentially drive division. 383 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 4: There we go, who are in the East? 384 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Jayleen Brown already put up posted a 385 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 2: monocle or whatever it is eyeglass emoji when he was 386 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: passed over for White, and then it was like, whoa, what's. 387 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 4: He's still hill? Still he was tweeting about him on Sunday. 388 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: WHOA not great? And now now it's like, whoa, wait 389 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: a minute, Jason Tatum not even playing at all, and 390 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: White slogging bigger minutes and hollow and then and now 391 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 2: we've gone like ten minutes on what really is a 392 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: nothing burger in a USA? Easy win? Like, I don't know, 393 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: maybe this is the first did not play coach's decision 394 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: of Tatum's life. You know that he didn't get that 395 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 2: at college one year. You know he didn't get that 396 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: in the I mean he was playing as a rookie, 397 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: and you know he didn't get that in high school. 398 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: His mixtape is insane and I can only be a 399 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 2: little sinister. I don't know if it's on Kurt's spostal. 400 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: I mean, Mark feuin't pitching this idea, but it is 401 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: Spoolster's pitching it. And listen, the defense worked. They body 402 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: bag Serbia is never close in the second half. It 403 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 2: is interesting though that embiid continues to start. You can't 404 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: pull Lebron out now that Durant's flame throwing, Like, what 405 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: do you do to the rotation? I don't know. I mean, 406 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 2: if you remember rob during the exhibition, we thought, like 407 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards after a few games, was maybe their second 408 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: best player, right right, I was Lebron a d and Ant, 409 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: And now it's like, wow, well Durant's gonna play like this. 410 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 2: It's tough to see them losing a game, right, Like 411 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: maybe they're a little gassed up and feeling themselves for 412 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: smashing Yokic that they take South u Dan lightly, but 413 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: they only beat South su Dan by like was it 414 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 2: one or two in the last week? Yeah, one point 415 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 2: in the last week. So there's not gonna be any 416 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: letdown here, right, I mean I can't imagine. 417 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think that they're gonna be fine. 418 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 3: Like I said, if if Kevin Durant is healthy, and 419 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 3: he looked very healthy on Sunday. If KD and Lebron 420 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: are healthy, they are the two biggest mismatches in this turn. Like, 421 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 3: there's nobody else across any of these other rosters that 422 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 3: can match their size and skill between those two guys, 423 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 3: just giant wings. If you want them to play bully 424 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 3: ball like Lebron, he can. If you want to play 425 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 3: at three point game KD, he can. They can defend 426 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 3: across four or five positions. They're gonna be just fine. 427 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 3: But Team USA, if that was the case, then we 428 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 3: would just send like the Boston Celtics and say we 429 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 3: don't need to send our best players if all we 430 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: want to do is win. It's supposed to be an 431 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 3: honor to say, hey, these are the ten to twelve 432 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 3: best guys we have. We are going to send a 433 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 3: message to the rest of the country or the rest 434 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 3: of the world. And what Steve Kerr is doing is 435 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 3: he's so locked into his ways and he's so locked 436 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 3: into the politicking that he's doing for Joellenbi specifically Steph 437 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 3: Curry to a much lesser extent that he's you know, 438 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: disrespecting one of the great players who should be arguably 439 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 3: your first or second best player in the next Olympics. 440 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 3: Jason Tatum. If I'm Jason Tatum, I'm gonna yood like 441 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 3: this around. There's no way I'm coming back in twenty 442 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 3: twenty eight. 443 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: No, Well, Kurr is not going to be the guy 444 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 2: in twenty eight. I don't know who. It won't be Curry. 445 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 2: It can't continue to keep him. Hmm. Interesting? Would Tatum 446 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: be so turned off that he doesn't return? 447 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: I doubt Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk 448 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at 449 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: Foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search 450 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: FSR to listen live. 451 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: I do want to quickly wrap up with an NFL 452 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: news dump that happened Friday. A lot of people probably 453 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 2: didn't see it, and listen. If you're haggling with your 454 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 2: quarterback for months on a contract and you're waiting for 455 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 2: the right time to leak it because maybe you don't 456 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: want to get you don't want to be like leading 457 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 2: the news cycle. What do you do? Oh? You wait 458 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: for the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris and then boom 459 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: there it is Friday, late afternoon. Jordan Love signs a 460 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 2: massive contract with the Packers. Oh, and also too well, 461 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: also got his massive deal from the Dolphins. Both got 462 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 2: four year deals, and everybody didn't dig into the numbers. 463 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: And guess what here we are Monday morning, and have 464 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 2: you guys seen anybody really dig into the numbers? Oh? Interesting, Yeah, 465 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 2: hasn't happened yet. I wonder if that's by design anyways. Um, 466 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: the big talking point here, which I'm sure and listen, 467 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: agents can steer this thing. They can. They'll leak the 468 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: news to the news breakers and then they can I mean, 469 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: they've been working on these nuggets because they know the contract. 470 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 2: Then they can leak stuff that they know is going 471 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: to catch on and go viral. So what went viral 472 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 2: on the TUA contract, Not what percentage of the cap 473 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 2: he's making, not how it stacks up compared to some 474 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 2: of the other guys, but Dan Marino's career earnings fifty 475 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 2: one dollars and TUA is gonna destroy that in like 476 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 2: a year. And Dan Marino is an all time great. 477 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's funny, that's crazy. But now we don't 478 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 2: have any any details on the contract. Are these other 479 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 2: guys signed deals and it's like, oh, we've got They 480 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 2: go with a fine tooth comb and it's like, hmm okay. 481 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: The best thing I was able to unearth on Tua 482 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: was it as basically the same as the Jared Goff 483 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 2: contract with the Detroit Lions. I don't remember much Pearl 484 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 2: clutching over Jared Goff inking his long term deal with 485 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 2: the Lions. Right, it was like, that's a good contract. 486 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: Jared Goff is solid. I don't think anybody thinks Jared 487 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: Goff is the guy to put the lie like Lions 488 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: over the top. Obviously he makes them good, but I 489 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 2: don't know, rob is Jared Goff a top ten quarterback 490 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 2: in the league? Like maybe he's like fringe. It's right 491 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: in that too range, probably nine to fifteen, which is 492 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 2: why I think is reasonable. There's a lot of guys 493 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 2: in there. It's like Tua, Dak Goff. Oh. I don't 494 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 2: know what you do with Jordan Love, but his contract, 495 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 2: as far as I could tell, is slightly bigger than 496 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence's, which is telling because I got a buddy 497 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 2: who's a Packers fan and I actually played volleyball with 498 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 2: him over the weekend and his first comment to me is, Jay, 499 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: why the hell did we give Jordan Love so much money? 500 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 2: When he basically was good for half a season, and 501 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: I go, I don't happen to answer. It just doesn't 502 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: make sense. But here's the option. What do you do alternatively? 503 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: It's not like, oh, we'll give him like ten million 504 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 2: dollars less than Kyler Murray. Like that's not gonna fly. 505 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 2: Just that's not how it works. It's not the business. 506 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: And so I do think if you're looking for a 507 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 2: large takeaway macro zoom out. You now have twelve quarterbacks 508 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 2: in the league making forty five million dollars more per year. 509 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 2: Oh well, only twelve, but there's thirty two teams. Yeah, 510 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 2: so twelve guys are in that forty five million dollars class. 511 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 2: Then you have a handful of rookies. And then you've 512 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 2: got like your geno Smith Daniel Jones is under forty five, 513 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: and you've got like your mid tier dudes. Who else 514 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: is mid tier guy? Rob? I'm trying to think here, 515 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 2: it's you look at like teams without like Kirk Cousins. 516 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: I don't think he's in the forty five million dollar camp. 517 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: I think he's closer to forty. Yeah, and you and 518 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: then you've got the young quarterbacks, the CJ Strouds, the 519 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson's Jayden Daniels, and essentially we're getting close to 520 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 2: that point I talked about last week where it's like, Okay, 521 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: these these numbers are getting astronomical. Rob Dolphins, let's say 522 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: they missed the playoffs at nine to eight or eight 523 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 2: nine whatever. You want to say, Well, how do we 524 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: get a little bit better? Well, we can't. We're hamstrung 525 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 2: now because we just gave to a lot of money 526 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 2: forty five million a year. He's over that, like it's 527 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: tough to build your team. We've seen the Bengals have 528 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: to lose guys because Burrow got paid. We've seen the 529 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills they started to cut loose dudes too because 530 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: Josh Allen got his money. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs 531 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 2: they've had to lose guys. I mean, they're still winning 532 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 2: super Bowls, they've got Reading Mahomes, but once you give 533 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 2: that quarterback money, it's not a great look. And I 534 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 2: guess Rob, I'll close by saying, I know there's one 535 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: guy left who hasn't gotten paid and is Dak Prescott, 536 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: and it's increasingly looking to me like he ain't gonna 537 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: get it from Dallas, And then the discussion becomes, well, 538 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 2: is there a big market for DAK And we went 539 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 2: through this a little bit last week, But I don't know, Man, 540 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 2: start looking at some college football tape. Carson Back Quinn, 541 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: you er should do her. Jalen Milroe Alabama? Is he 542 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 2: on the come up? Drew a layer Penn State? 543 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: Like, I. 544 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 2: Just cannot get over Brock Purdy on the cheap for 545 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 2: the Niners. I mean, can Riley Leonard remember the kid 546 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: who was on dupe? Can he with one more year 547 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: of college all of a sudden become accurate? And then 548 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: I just need somebody to play the role of Brock Perdy. 549 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: Don't make mistakes, quick reads, process as fast as you can, 550 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 2: and that's how we'll win. And I and I I 551 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 2: just I feel like I don't know. I don't think 552 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: Tua gets to the playoffs this year. Jordan Love will 553 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: be interesting because the Packers have some talent, but the 554 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: division's a lot harder. Rob Just for my liking, I 555 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: would kind of sort of like it both missed the playoffs. 556 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 3: Oh hater man, what you got against Tua and Jordan Love? 557 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: Well, I just it's more interesting if it is. 558 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 3: More interesting because especially if the Dolphins don't make it, 559 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 3: then that's ups the odds that my Raiders might get 560 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 3: in at you know, nine and eight or something like that, 561 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 3: and probably not. But still, uh, I'm very happy for two, 562 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: you know, to a guy, and this has been well documented. 563 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 3: Last season, twa led the NFL passing yards while ranking 564 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 3: in the top five in completions, touchdowns, first downs. Like, 565 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: you say what you want about the talent around him 566 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 3: and the system or whatever, but you need someone who 567 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 3: can orchestrate that system and execute at a high level. 568 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 3: He does it just as well as anybody. The Jordan 569 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 3: Love situation is fascinating to me because, as your buddy 570 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 3: alluded to, Jordan Love, up through what was it Week nine, 571 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 3: there was legitimate concern as to whether or not he 572 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 3: would even be their starting quarterback in twenty twenty four. 573 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 3: Nine games into last season, Jordan Love had thrown for 574 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 3: two thousand and nine yards, fourteen touchdowns, ten picks, passer 575 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 3: rating of eighty point five, and a fifty eight point 576 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: seven completion percentage. 577 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 2: That's midway through the in an era. 578 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 3: Of football where it's easier to throw the ball than 579 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 3: in any other time in history. And then all of 580 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 3: a sudden from games ten through the end of the postseason, 581 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 3: so we ended up paying what nineteen games he completes 582 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 3: seventy percent of his passes, one hundred and twelve point 583 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 3: seven passer rating, two one hundred and fifty yards in 584 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 3: eighteen to one touchdown in interception ratio. So he basically 585 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 3: goes from I don't know Jacoby Brissett to Aaron Rodgers 586 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 3: peak Aaron Rodgers in the span of like two weeks. 587 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: He just flipped the switch and he just becomes incredible. 588 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 3: Right in the playoff game, he only misses on five 589 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 3: passes though, for two seventy two three touchdowns and a 590 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 3: damn near perfect passer rating. He was incredible. So I'm 591 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 3: happy he got paid. I always want to see guys 592 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 3: get paid. I'm glad that he used his leverage by 593 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 3: holding out, because when guys have leverage and they don't 594 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 3: use it, that's the biggest problem to me in football. 595 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm gonna be really hypocritical here. 596 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 3: I would not have paid him that money if I 597 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 3: was the Green Bay Packers, if I was Brian Gudukuz, 598 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: I would have want to see it for one more 599 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 3: season before I paid him. 600 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 4: I would have much more comfortable. 601 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 3: Waiting a year and paying him sixty two million dollars 602 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 3: a season then to pay him now off of eight 603 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 3: games of really high level play. But he's paying fifty five. 604 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 3: I don't think he would either, But that's just me again, 605 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 3: total great conversation by myself, but I just I would 606 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 3: feel real sketchy paying him off of eight great games. 607 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 2: So essentially, in nut cutting time, I like that phrase, Bro, 608 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 2: he showed up right. I mean it was, hey, Bro, 609 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 2: you were garbage for half a season. Do you want 610 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 2: to get paid? Do you want me a starting quarterback 611 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 2: in this league? You got to deliver, and he delivered. 612 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: It was I don't know if the switch flipped or 613 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 2: there was a change in the offense. It's still really 614 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: unclear what changed, but that's it was a radical transformation. Yeah, 615 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 2: so quarterbacks are almost done campus year. We did have 616 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 2: an injury at camp, the money badger. Remember that kicker? Yeah, 617 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 2: out for the season for the Lions. Not great. He 618 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 2: was with the Chargers I think last year or somewhere, 619 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 2: but he's with the Lion. Listen, kickers matter. Kickers are 620 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: no joke. Now, you got plenty of time bring in 621 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 2: soccer players, bring in anybody who was. 622 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: It was it. 623 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 2: The Cowboys brought in a soccer player and he was amazing. 624 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: Last year somebody had a soccer player as a kicker. Oh, 625 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 2: I don't remember, and the guy was incredible. But also 626 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: quick note, I am not a huge like training camp guy. 627 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if I've talked about this role, but like, 628 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 2: as a kid, we never went to like Washington Redskins 629 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: training camp. It was just not a thing. But then 630 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 2: I told you, like, we didn't have a ton of 631 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 2: money growed up, and my parents weren't like huge into sports. 632 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 2: Obviously they supported me being into sports, but it's not like, oh, hey, Sunday, 633 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 2: you want to go to a Redskins game. It was 634 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 2: like we I don't think I went to one Redskins 635 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 2: game in my life. I don't think growing up. But 636 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 2: because the Chargers are now here in the South Bay 637 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 2: with their new facility, and you know I work at Fox, 638 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 2: I said, hey, do we have a contact with the Chargers? 639 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 2: Can I like get some access and bring my kids? 640 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 2: They were like sure, So we went, and I'm just 641 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 2: saying it was a pretty incredible experience. Like I'm it 642 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: was like up close, you know. You know, we get 643 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,719 Speaker 2: there early and my kids are kind of nerdy, like, oh, 644 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 2: let's go front row, let's see what's up. And like JK. Dobbins, 645 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 2: Gus the bus come over and they're like, oh hey, 646 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 2: and I'm like, these guys are freaking I mean, Gus 647 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 2: Edwards is like a massive human being. And it was 648 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 2: awesome because at the end of practice, literally everybody came 649 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,959 Speaker 2: to give autographs. Harball was the first guy out comes 650 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 2: right over, and you know we had good positioning and stuff, 651 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 2: so you know, Herbert Harbaugh, Bosa, all the big dogs 652 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 2: came right over. Not because they's not anything to do 653 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 2: with me, but like the area we were in, I 654 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 2: did see Ian Rappaport and Hushman Zada. It was a 655 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 2: pretty damn good time. I gotta say Chargers put on 656 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 2: a good show. The new facility like literally six minutes 657 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 2: from seven minutes from my house, which is nice. And 658 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. I got the kids' Chargers gear. You know, 659 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 2: maybe we'll go to a game this season. We got that. 660 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 2: Like the calendar of games, I circled the Chiefs game. 661 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: I said, guys, we might have to try to get 662 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: tickets to this and I'll just say this. Remember last 663 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 2: year I had asked a buddy who knows Stafford and 664 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 2: the Rams, who are you what are you hearing any 665 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 2: any like fantasy stuff? And they gave me Puka Nuku's name. Now, Rob, 666 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 2: I think I said it on this podcast almost certain, Okay, 667 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 2: talking to people at Jargers over and over Lad McConkie, 668 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 2: and I'm watching the drills. He's running with the ones, 669 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 2: the rookie from Georgia. The guy's got juice, great hands. 670 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: I'm surprised how good he is this quickly. I don't 671 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 2: think he's going to be facing number ones. And we 672 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 2: know Quintin Jammer is kind of hit and miss not 673 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 2: not Quentin to Jammer, sorry Coquin' to Johnston, the big 674 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,479 Speaker 2: kid from TCU. But I'll just put out there now, 675 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 2: if you're doing fantasy, go ahead and take a flyer 676 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 2: on Lad McConkie. Maybe not early rounds, you know, but 677 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 2: just put the I usually in my notes pad on 678 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 2: my phone. I have a list of fantasy guys when 679 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 2: I hear something, read something, somebody tells me something, and 680 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 2: Ladd McConkie is damn near the top of my list. Anyways, 681 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 2: that's it for today. Will talk to you tomorrow, see 682 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 2: you then
