1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 2: I think, as the phrase goes, it's about that time, 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: but I want to focus in on the about it's 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: about that time. But let's go ahead and to find that. 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 2: We got a lot of stuff to play with tonight. 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: You heard Brianna just bring up Trey Lance. There's some 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: stuff we want to talk about there. Lebron, James and Jokich. 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: The meeting, what did it mean? Steph Curry? The preseason 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 2: is underway. Plus I need to weave my way to 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: figure out, especially from a man, a husband and a 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 2: father I respect, how to handle family and football in 12 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: the fall. So we're gonna get to all of that. 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: Glad you're all with us tonight. Ephraim, how are we doing? 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: I'm doing great man, How you doing? Good? To have 15 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 3: you back? 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 4: Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Yeah. 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: I had a little, a little weekend away to do 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: a graduation party for the family. 19 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 4: Multiple grads okay this year in. 20 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: The greater family, and so off they go to who 21 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: knows what and whatever's next. But how to celebrate that 22 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: and now, thank you for holding it down. We'll get 23 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: back at it tonight, of course, of course, of course, 24 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 2: so yeah, what is preseason football? Like, what do we 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: actually get out of this? 26 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 5: Look, a lot of people they feel how they feel 27 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 5: about preseason. For the players, that's how you make a 28 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 5: football team. So you know, having preseason games is essentially 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 5: how you make the team. And I say that because 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 5: that's how I became a starter my rookie year. It 31 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 5: came down to the final, fourth and final preseason game. 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 5: We don't even have four anymore unless you're playing in 33 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame game, but the fourth and final 34 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 5: preseason game for me, it was up to the then 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 5: starter and me, and we both played one half, two quarters, 36 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 5: and whoever played the best was starting Opening weekend and 37 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 5: that was in the very last preseason game. And so 38 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 5: for me, I look at preseason as a gauge to 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 5: see if the talented players you've drafted are the talented 40 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 5: undrafted free agents can actually play football at the highest level. 41 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 5: And I know the speed isn't the same, but there's 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 5: something to be said to go out and have an understanding, 43 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 5: whether you're playing offense or defense, have an understanding of 44 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 5: all of the things you've been putting in since you've 45 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 5: been drafted, since OTAs, since mini camp and now can 46 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 5: you recall those things in seconds? That's what preseason is 47 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 5: for me. 48 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. So that I get. That's why 49 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: there will always be preseason. That's why players will play 50 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: in the preseason. My next question, though, is to further 51 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: it's the majority, if not all, of the people listening to. 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: Us, what can they take from the preseason? 53 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: Yes, and I'm not saying like it's there to entertain us, 54 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: or what I mean is we just watched all the teams. 55 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 4: Now, all the teams have played at least once. 56 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: What opinion can we form, if any, based on what 57 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 2: we just watched. 58 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 5: You can see if you're if you have a team 59 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 5: that has a new head coach, all right, new offensive, 60 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 5: new defensive court, new personnel, new quarterback. Okay, you can 61 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 5: make an assessment barring they've played all of those things. 62 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 5: You know, the players have played, you know, new draft picks, 63 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 5: no Jackson Dart, all of those type of things should do. 64 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 5: Or you can tell if things are going well, and 65 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 5: that's exciting. If things are going well, if you can 66 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 5: come out and you can move the ball, you can 67 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 5: stop someone on defense, it lowers your anxiety level as 68 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 5: a fan going into the season. What you don't want 69 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 5: is to see players come out turn the ball over, uh, 70 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 5: you know, not get first downs, not score touchdowns, look 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 5: like they don't understand a lot of penalties. Those are 72 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 5: the warning signs. And then you can play it off like, oh, 73 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 5: it's just the first preseason, preseason game. We'll see how 74 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 5: it goes as we go along. All that's fine and good, okay, 75 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 5: But when it goes good for you, oh wow, it's 76 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 5: no feeling. 77 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 3: You're going You're going. We're going to the super Bowl. 78 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,119 Speaker 4: Of course, of course. 79 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: And in fact, without even playing this weekend, there was 80 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 2: already one quarterback who told another team, Hey, we're about 81 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: to see you in the in the championship game, and 82 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: we'll get we'll get to that. But obviously I think 83 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: Shador Sanders is the number one thing people are talking 84 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: about over the weekend. But before we do that, you know, 85 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: maybe this is an even more specific way for me 86 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: to ask it. When I see the Washington Commanders lose 87 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: by thirty, and I see the Green Bay Packers lose 88 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: by twenty, and I see the San Francisco forty nine 89 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: ers lose by twenty one, and I see teams that 90 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: we firmly believe are going to be good. I don't 91 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: know about great, but good, productive competitive teams come this season. 92 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: Am I supposed to? Because here's the word that always 93 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: comes up. Are you concerned? Is there anything that can 94 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: happen in any of these games that a fan should take. 95 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 4: To bed with him or her at night with? I'm concerned. 96 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 2: I'm concerned with what I'm seeing on the field, even 97 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: though it doesn't count. It's not against necessarily at least 98 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: formed real teams. It's also not a fully formed real 99 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: team surrounding you. And in fact, the mythical you in 100 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: this person is probably also not a major member of 101 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 2: the team that we're talking about. So what about that 102 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 2: the good team that got blown out this weekend? 103 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: Number one question is we're starters playing? 104 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: Okay? How many studs? Which starters? 105 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 3: Well, let's start with the quarterback first. 106 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So if JN. 107 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 4: Daniels did not. 108 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 5: Play, So if the quarterback is playing, then the starting 109 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 5: offensive line is playing. Okay, the starting receivers are playing, 110 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 5: and everyone else. They will not put a starting quarterback 111 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 5: out there with some guys. So if you had a 112 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 5: team that ran into a brick wall the first preseason 113 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 5: game and none of your offensive starters were playing, you're fine. 114 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 5: You don't have anything to worry about. 115 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 3: Now. 116 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 5: If you did have your offensive starter uh starters playing, 117 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 5: and the brief time they were playing, you didn't manage 118 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 5: to move the ball score any points are look efficient, 119 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 5: then final score was standing. You don't worry about that. 120 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 5: Because there's a lot of guys in preseas, especially the 121 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 5: first preseason game, that won't be in the NFL in 122 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 5: three weeks literally will be doing something else with their lives. 123 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 5: So there's about there's a couple thousand of those guys 124 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 5: that won't be playing, So you have to keep that 125 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 5: in context. Now, if your starters were playing the period 126 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 5: of time they were playing, if they didn't look well, 127 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 5: then yes, be concerned. 128 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: Jordan Love one to five seven yards quarterback rating of 129 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: thirty nine point six no points. 130 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 5: That's concerning, okay, because they weren't going against the guy 131 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 5: guys on defense. And if your offensive line is giving 132 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 5: up sacks on your starting quarterback in the preseason game, 133 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 5: that's a problem because it's only gonna get harder. That's 134 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 5: a problem. So most for those fans who are listening 135 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 5: who don't know if your starters are playing, if you're 136 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 5: starting quarterback, and I'll just say starting quarterback is playing. 137 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 5: And when I say that, that means the starting offense. 138 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 5: If they're playing, then they've scripted one drive. You guys 139 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 5: got one drive first preseason game. You got one drive. 140 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 5: Let's see what you can do and in that drive 141 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 5: our player, friendly team, friendly offense, friendly plays. If you 142 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 5: can't execute that, there's something bigger on the horizon. There's 143 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:15,359 Speaker 5: something that needs to be adjusted. Short passes, run game typically, 144 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 5: play action passes. Those are the typical things that you 145 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 5: want to see because the last thing you want is 146 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 5: you're starting quarterback getting touched at all. So there's not 147 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 5: a lot of drop back seven step drops. Even if 148 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 5: it's third and long, we're not going to drop back 149 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 5: and hold on to the ball and do anything like that. 150 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 5: So if you give it up a second, your offensive 151 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 5: line has been beaten, you know, fast, then there's something 152 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 5: there's a level of concern that's warranted. 153 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: I got another team I want to ask you about, 154 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 2: because especially this time of year, everybody's gearing up for 155 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: their fantasy drafts. I have my first one next Saturday, 156 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: so when I talk to you next week, I will 157 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: have experience I will have experience in a twenty twenty 158 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: five fantasy drop. But because everybody is thinking about those, 159 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: we are only as always looking at what one side 160 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: of the ball, the offensive side of the football. But 161 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 2: a lot of these teams, these coaches, they have philosophies 162 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: come this time of year. If you're Sean McVeigh, you 163 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: bubble wrap, everybody will see you in September. But let's 164 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: look at Zach Taylor and the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow 165 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: came out get a little tune up. He had all 166 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: of his starters, Chase Brown, Jamar Chase, all the chases. 167 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: They were all out there. They go hot knife through Butter, 168 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: they score a touchdown. Nice tune up, right, what does 169 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: he do next? Get out there again? They go out 170 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: there and they do it again, and they go hot 171 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 2: knife through Butter and in fact Burrow hits Jamar Chase 172 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: for a touchdown catch. Nice job. There's fourteen points for 173 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: the Bengals. Meantime, I'm assuming that that means that the 174 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 2: Bengals starting defense is also out there for a tune up. 175 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 5: Well, not necessarily, not necessarily necessarily. 176 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: Well, some of their starters, of course, are still in contract. Squabble, 177 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: so some of them are not even available with this hour. 178 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 2: But Tanner McKee goes out there as the quote unquote 179 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 2: starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, and he puts up 180 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: in twenty five pass attempts at quarterback rating up one 181 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five. The Eagles have twenty four points 182 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: at halftime, and I said, well, you know what, there's 183 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 2: one team in the NFL that looks regular season ready, 184 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 2: and that is the Cincinnati Bengals because they look exactly. 185 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 4: Like they did when we last saw them. 186 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 5: Well, what we talked about when we talked about the 187 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 5: dispute and Trey Anderson not being signed and Joe Burrow 188 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 5: coming to his aide saying, we need to sign our guys. 189 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 5: We've already established a Cincinnati is going to have to 190 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 5: and going to try to outscore everyone. They took care 191 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 5: of the offensive side of the ball. Joe Burrows making 192 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 5: a lot of money. Higgins and Chase are making a 193 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 5: bunch of money. That's where the money is. Cincinnati's a 194 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 5: cheap organization. Historically, they not just gonna go Will and 195 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 5: Nelly with the checkbook. So the checkbook has some checks, 196 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 5: if some really big checks have been written and cashed, 197 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 5: leaving a deficit on the defensive side of the ball. Now, 198 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 5: although they did come to terms with their first round 199 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 5: edge rusher, it still doesn't bode well for them in 200 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 5: the regular season. They're going to have to score thirty 201 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 5: four to thirty five points a game to have a shot. 202 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 5: And it's evident, like you just said, a backup quarterback 203 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 5: came in hot knife through butter. They're doing anything they want, 204 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,479 Speaker 5: but that's how this team is constructed. 205 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: This year. 206 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 5: They'll win all in on offense. And that's why Joe 207 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 5: Burrow came out for two series, because they need they 208 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 5: cannot afford. They cannot afford the slow start that Joe 209 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 5: Burrow has experienced his entirety of his pro career. 210 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. 211 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 5: Every single year, it's a fact they start behind the 212 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 5: eight ball and they cannot do that this year. And 213 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 5: so they're going to get as much work as they 214 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 5: need offensively so they can be clicking on all cylinders. 215 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 2: What I hear you say is that basically there are 216 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: little things here and there that you can take team 217 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: wise in the preseason, but much more of it is 218 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: based on certain individuals either tuning up or trying to 219 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: make a team. I got two individuals, both of them 220 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 2: play quarterback. Neither one of them are starters, but both 221 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 2: of them play quarterback, and they may have just had 222 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: an effect on the league with stuff that they did 223 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: over this past weekend. I want to get to both 224 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: of those players. We'll do that coming up next. Really, 225 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: glad you're with us tonight.

Mariota was kind of boring mahomes Is. 272 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: Mahomes there's a whole new just a different animal, and 273 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: then there's Cousins, and you're like, Okay, you know it's 274 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: kind of quirky and campy and cheeky at times, but 275 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: like good player, and you're going through major injury and 276 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: changing of teams and so I get the drama there. 277 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: But I would not have had on my bingo card 278 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: when I left the last season of Quarterbacks that we 279 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: would be coming back for more Cousins. But that's what 280 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: we got. But he's on my mind this weekend again 281 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 2: because in watching where at least I'm at in the Dock, 282 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: we're not even to the spot yet where Pennix kind 283 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: of takes over the job. 284 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 4: So we're still like, you know, we're a year. 285 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 3: Ago, yes, right, but now go all bad in a second? 286 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 4: Correct? But yesterday was it? Yesterday? 287 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: Or the day before, it doesn't matter, whatever, you get 288 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: the point. Preseason game this weekend, Lions play the Falcons 289 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 2: Easton Stick, who should be a baseball player but isn't. 290 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: Easton Stick went fifteen to eighteen for one hundred and 291 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: forty nine yards and a touchdown. 292 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 4: Yes, a preseason football game. But two things. 293 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: One, there's still no sign of Kirk Cousins, and now 294 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: people are thinking, hey. 295 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 4: Why don't you just let this do it? Be the backup? 296 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: And are we now getting to the point where you're 297 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: going to see teams struggle at quarterback and renew Kirk 298 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 2: Cousins trade talks makes a lot of sense to me. 299 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think he'll be hot. 300 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 5: If anything happens to a projected starter right off the back, 301 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 5: I think he's first in line. He would have to be, 302 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 5: especially for a contending team. Now, if a team who 303 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 5: was not contending and they are reserved to trying to 304 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 5: get one of the quarterbacks and a pretty crowded, pretty 305 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 5: pretty well stocked quarterback class next year, then you hold pat. 306 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 5: But if you're a contending team, in god forbid, something 307 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 5: happens to your starter, then Kirk Cousins is the first option. 308 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 5: The first phone call is Atlanta Falcons. 309 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 3: That's easy. 310 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm looking around at the board and I 311 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: know what you're saying. You're saying, Okay, someone's got to 312 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 2: get hurt, and that's probably the case, yes, But I'm 313 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: also looking around just going are there any like candidates already? 314 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 2: I mean, look, Matt Stafford's supposed to start practicing tomorrow. 315 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 2: What if he does and everything's cool, then okay, there's 316 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: that the Indianapolis Colts Anthony Richardson. Apparently it's not serious. 317 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: I also don't even think he's gonna win the job anyway. 318 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: I don't know that you would call them a contender either. 319 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 5: No, And I think that's one of those teams that 320 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 5: would holpat between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. I think 321 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 5: they're content to whatever happens happens and position themselves to 322 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 5: find their quarterback this coming up draft. 323 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: Okay, that's all. 324 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 5: That's a perfect example of one of those teams I'm 325 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 5: talking about. 326 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 4: Yep, I get it. 327 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 2: I get it, And that makes all the sense in 328 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 2: the world from the team perspective. There is a little 329 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: piece of me, and I know no one wants to 330 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: feel sorry for him. He's made bajillions of dollars in hell, 331 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 2: Netflix has profiled him twice. So everything's fine. But I 332 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: do feel a little bit bad for Kirk, like he 333 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 2: should be able to play some football. 334 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he has. He's he's had a tremendous career. 335 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: It's a tremendous career. 336 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: But it got over. 337 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 3: Ye oh no, no, no, it's not over. 338 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 5: And he'll get an opportunity to trust me, the way 339 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 5: the league goes, you know of a team that's competing, well, well, 340 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 5: you know that's just the nature of the beast. So 341 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 5: all he has to do is continue to get paid. Well, 342 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 5: let Michael Pennix do what he's gonna do. God forbid, 343 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 5: something happens to him. And I remember that Michael Pennis 344 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 5: has a bit of an injury history, an injury history, 345 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 5: which is why he was in college so long. But 346 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 5: you know he's had two, you know, call him potential 347 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 5: career ending injuries in college. 348 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 3: And so. 349 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 5: They're gonna hold off to see what happens. Is what 350 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 5: you don't want to do is trade them now and 351 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 5: then you need them in week three. That's not you know, 352 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 5: that's what you don't want to do. That's fair and 353 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 5: so they're they're in no rush. He's not gonna play 354 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 5: in the preseason because you don't want him to get 355 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 5: hurt in the preseason. And so if you're going to 356 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 5: pay him, you're gonna need You're gonna want him available 357 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 5: if you need it. And I think I think they've 358 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 5: made the choice. We're gonna pay the money. We want 359 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 5: to move forward with Michael Pennocks, and that's just what 360 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 5: it's gonna be. Now, Why Michael Pennicks didn't start or 361 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 5: play a series, and like, I don't understand that, why 362 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 5: Caleb Williams didn't play a season with the new head 363 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 5: coach in the first. 364 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 3: Like I don't, I don't, I don't. 365 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 5: I'm not quite sure what these There's only three preseason 366 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 5: games now, so you got two more opportunities, and more 367 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 5: than likely you wouldn't want them to play the week 368 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 5: before the regular season, right, So you take one and 369 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 5: two right, One to knock the rust off, to to 370 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 5: implement things you want to see during the regular season, 371 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 5: and three you evaluate the rest of your team. 372 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 3: In my mind, that's the way to do that. It 373 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: used to be. 374 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 5: When I was playing, the starters played a series in 375 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 5: the first preseason game. Second preseason game, they came out 376 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,479 Speaker 5: and played, you know, a couple series, not quite a 377 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 5: full half. The third preseason game was we're playing the 378 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 5: first half and if that goes well, you're done. If not, 379 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 5: we'll come out and play in the first drive in 380 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 5: the third quarter and then hand it off and we'll 381 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 5: be done to opening day. And the fourth preseason game 382 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 5: was strictly for those decisions and roster spots that they 383 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 5: were trying to figure out, right, That's how it was 384 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 5: a ramp up situation. Now, I mean it's gotten to 385 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 5: the point where starters don't play at all, and then 386 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 5: starters aren't playing like, I don't know. With Ben Johnson, 387 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 5: I'm like, Caleb, I want to see you right now, 388 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 5: no doubt, no doubt, let's listen to let's run it. Yeah, 389 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 5: and you're talking about a very very young player. Yeah, 390 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 5: I need him to get those reps in a game 391 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 5: simulated type of situation in the new offense. 392 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 2: There was another backup quarterback who made some more waves 393 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 2: today that could have a little bit of a trickle 394 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 2: down effect. In fact, there's a tweet from Lewis Riddick 395 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 2: about this quarterback that I want to read to you. 396 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: Coming up next, I think Trey's name will come up 397 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 2: as Brianna speaks. She mentioned him last time. She'll probably 398 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 2: do it again. But there's only one way to find out. 399 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 2: Let's go to Brionna Murou right now, our backup quarterback. 400 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 2: There you go. 401 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 8: That's a very nice thank you guys. Yes, Week one 402 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 8: of the NFL preseason is in the books. The Chargers 403 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 8: defeated My Saints twenty seven to thirteen. Chargers quarterback Trey 404 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 8: Lance seven to fourteen fifty five passing yards through the air, 405 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 8: along with forty eight yet rushing yards and one rushing 406 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 8: touchdown on the Saints quarterback kind of like carousel. 407 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck looked. 408 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 8: Probably the better out of all three of them, Shuck, 409 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 8: which I was not expecting. I'm a Spencer Rattler girl, 410 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 8: so I don't know. But Tyler Shuck fifteen of twenty two, 411 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 8: one touchdown, one interception, Spener Ratler seven to eleven fifty 412 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 8: three yards, and Jake Hayner probably smiled and posed when 413 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,239 Speaker 8: he went five for eight before forty one yards with 414 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 8: an interception. Titans running back Tajy Spears was diagnosed with 415 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 8: a right high ankle sprain. He'll be out a few weeks, 416 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 8: and like you guys mentioned, Matthew Stafford is set to 417 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 8: return to practice on Monday. In Major League Baseball, Cal 418 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 8: Rawly hit his forty fifth home run of the season 419 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 8: as the Mariners defeated the Rays six to three for 420 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 8: their seventh straight win. The Brewers walked it off against 421 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 8: the Mets seven and six for their ninth straight straight win. 422 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 8: Justin Berliander became the tenth picture pitcher in MLB history 423 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 8: with thirty five hundred strikeouts. Just really didn't make a difference. 424 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 8: That's the National shutout the Giants eight to zero, the 425 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 8: Blue Jays score late and beat the Dodgers of five 426 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 8: to four, and the Astros beat the Yankee seven to one. 427 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 8: The Yankees have lost seven of their last nine. All right, guys, 428 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 8: back to you, Bra, I. 429 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: Do have a quest too.

But I'd like to read 474 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 2: this to you, Trey. As you heard Breonna just say, 475 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: seven of fourteen for fifty five yards. 476 00:26:59,040 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 4: Whipty do? 477 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: But also he ran the ball really well, seven carries 478 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 2: forty eight yards a touchdown. All right, here's what I 479 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: want to ask you talk to me, brother, because it 480 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 2: felt to me like shots fired. Trey goes out does 481 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: what he does for the Chargers. It's their second preseason game. 482 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 2: He did some good some bad in the first one 483 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame game. Also, but Lewis Riddick, 484 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 2: who I really respect, by the way, broadcaster, evaluator, all 485 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 2: of it, Lewis tweeted earlier today, Trey Lance is with 486 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 2: the right program, right coach, right qb room, no bs, 487 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: no agendas. He has a chance to see what he 488 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: can actually now become. 489 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 4: Happy af for him. Hashtag bolt up from m is 490 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 4: somebody taking a shot at somebody here. 491 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: Because it feels like somebody's taking a shot at somebody here. 492 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 5: Well, I think there's a there's a subliminal in there. 493 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 4: But talk to me, But I talk to me. 494 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 5: Look, Trey Lance is probably one of the most polarizing 495 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 5: quarterbacks that hasn't played quarterback. 496 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 2: Good lord for sure. 497 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 5: Because he does enough for you to be like, oh, 498 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 5: it's something there. He's young enough for you to be like, 499 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 5: he still has time, but he really hasn't gotten an 500 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 5: opportunity to really showcase it right Like. And when I 501 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 5: say opportunity, I mean, if you're going to be a 502 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 5: starting quarterback, give me a season now. His health has 503 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 5: had a lot to do with that. Sure, I don't 504 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,719 Speaker 5: think if he was healthy and at the Niners. He 505 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 5: would have been prepared to play well because he just 506 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 5: hadn't had the reps. Natural talent is one thing, but 507 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 5: natural talent when there's a jet playing aim that you 508 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 5: is something different. The game is too fast. Seventeen games 509 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 5: at Division Division two or you know whatever. 510 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 4: Gosh yeah, South Dakota State, I mean. 511 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 3: Whatever it is. 512 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's not enough. It's not enough to be 513 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 5: prepared to start in the NFL at quarterback. And so 514 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 5: you know, Rock Party was the last pick in the draft, 515 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 5: but he played a ton of college football. He had 516 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 5: a bunch of starts, through a bunch of passes, seen 517 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 5: a bunch of different defenses, played in high level bowl games. 518 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 5: All of those things matter. If you recognize quarterbacks who've 519 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 5: been in college longer, come out a little early, a 520 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 5: little older, fair well when they come into the NFL 521 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 5: because they've the reps are real. 522 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: The reps are real. 523 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 5: And being able to handle the game flow and the 524 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 5: play calling and getting up to the line and getting 525 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 5: you in the best position and things like that, that 526 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 5: all that matters. And the more reps you have at 527 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 5: it at a high college level and in the NFL, 528 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 5: the better you become. Now, if you can't become good 529 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 5: after all of that, then it's time to go through 530 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 5: something else. 531 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 3: And you get that. 532 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 5: And Trey Lance, I say, he's polarizing because we don't know, well, we. 533 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 3: Don't know if he's had enough time. 534 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 5: We don't know if you know, he looks good this 535 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 5: day and okay the next day. 536 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: And I'd like to talk about that because you're you're 537 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: absolutely right, and he for sure, he's very polarizing. It 538 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: is reverse draftism, if you will. We've talked so much 539 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: about draftism. In other words, no one will believe Brock 540 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 2: Purdy in the face of him very consistently being good. 541 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 4: And the reverse of that is, no one will. 542 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 2: Believe that Trey Lance stinks, even though there is now 543 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: years of evidence of him not being able to get 544 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: into a football field. 545 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 4: Is that his responsibility is that the teams. 546 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: We can have that debate, but I'm focused on one 547 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 2: part of this tweet, and this is where I'd like 548 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 2: to go next, because it's done. It's one thing if 549 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: you're like, oh, Tray's with the right program and the 550 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: right coach, the right QBS in the room with him. 551 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: I like this for Trey, but then he says, no 552 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 2: BS no agendas. Oh, I would like to talk about 553 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: bs and agendas and where those may or may not 554 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 2: have taken place to this point in his which has 555 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: been spent only with the forty nine Ers and the 556 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. So uh, let's check that up coming up 557 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 2: next with Ephram Salam. 558 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 4: I'm Mark Willard on Fox Sports Radio. 559 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 560 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 2: Okay, this is live in the Fox Sports Radio studios. 561 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 2: Pick it right back up where we were. We're talking 562 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 2: about Trey Lance, of all people who had forty eight 563 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 2: yards in a tuddy on the ground as a quarterback 564 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 2: for the Chargers today in their second preseason game. Lewis Riddick, rightes, 565 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 2: Trey Lance is with the right program, right coach, right 566 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 2: qb room, no bs, no agendas, got a chance to 567 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: see what he can actually now become happy af for him. Okay, 568 00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: you want to take your first crack Kahan. Okay, so 569 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan, so. 570 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 3: This is my whole thing. 571 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 5: Let's not make it like Kyle Shanahan and the forty 572 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 5: nine Ers didn't give Trey Lance an opportunity. 573 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 4: Thank you, agreed. 574 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 5: Now, they moved up to draft him because they thought 575 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 5: they had something. Now, whether that's something is realized or not, 576 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 5: we're not sure. But the reason Brock Parties started or 577 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 5: had to play was because Trey Lance was hurt. 578 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 3: Correct, I don't. 579 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 5: It's not like Trey Lance had played five, six, seven, 580 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 5: eight games and they decided let's put the other guy in. 581 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 2: No, it was week two and now now you will. 582 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 2: I promise you. If anybody in the bay is listening 583 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 2: on ninety five to seven the game right now, I'm 584 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 2: telling you you can be people getting screaming at the radio. 585 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 2: Kyle got him hurt by running quarterback power. 586 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 4: You don't do that to a QB. 587 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: Is that be us? 588 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 4: Is that the BS that Lewis Riddick speaks of. 589 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 5: Well, the one thing I do know about Kyle Shanahan, 590 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 5: he's going to adjust his offense based on the strength 591 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 5: of the quarterback. 592 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 4: Correct. 593 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 5: When he was in Washington with his dad, they altered 594 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 5: the Shanahan offense, which I'm proficient in. I've played in 595 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 5: it the majority of my career. 596 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 3: Yep. 597 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 5: They put a read option in and all kinds of 598 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 5: RPOs based on RG three's ability. And that's from from 599 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 5: a person who it didn't matter. They were not adjusting 600 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 5: the offense. It's it's worked, it's won super Bowls, it's 601 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 5: produced some of the greatest rushing seasons in the history 602 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 5: of the NFL. And to see them all alter it 603 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 5: based on talent and person and personnel was a big thing. 604 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 3: So I'm not faulting Kyle. 605 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 5: Shanahan for trying to maximize Trey Lance's strengths. Opposed to 606 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 5: sit in the pocket, throw the ball. No, we'll put 607 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 5: the read option in, We'll put quarterback power, whatever it 608 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 5: is to make the kid comfortable enough not to look 609 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 5: like a deer in the headlights out there, then okay. 610 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 5: But to say it's his fault that Trey Lance got hurt, Nah, 611 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 5: I don't want to do that because that would be 612 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 5: then you put them out there to get hurt. 613 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you. Don't have this debate 614 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 2: about a billion times already, and so I'm with you. 615 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 2: I'm trying to get to the bottom though, of what 616 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 2: Lewis Riddick says is bs and agendas, and like that's 617 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 2: guess one. I like, we can't be talking about the Cowboys, right, Like, 618 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 2: I mean, they traded a fourth round pick for them 619 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 2: and then they never used him. We never saw him. 620 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 2: There was never any seemingly agenda. The only thing, if 621 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 2: the only agenda I could see for the Cowboys. And 622 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 2: I'm thinking back to something you told me when this 623 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 2: trade happened, which is because I'm like, why would they 624 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 2: do that? 625 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 4: You know, they've got Dak Prescott. 626 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 2: As it turns out, they had Cooper Rush and kept 627 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,479 Speaker 2: Cooper Rush ahead of Trey Lance throughout his time there. 628 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 2: But the spin on that at the time was Jerry 629 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 2: Jones did that deal because Jerry Jones likes it when 630 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones' name is being talked about, right. 631 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 5: But I also so that's some BS cray Lance didn't 632 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 5: get an opportunity to play when Dak Prescott wasn't available, correct, 633 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 5: So maybe that's the agenda or the BS or the 634 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 5: quarterback room he's talking about. 635 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe remember, if we want to really dive into 636 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 2: the controversies here, this is another place I would go. 637 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 2: When Trey Lance was given the Week one starting role, 638 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,479 Speaker 2: this is brock Perty's rookie year. Brock had not even 639 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 2: been heard of at this point. 640 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 3: No one knew who he was except for the people 641 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 3: who gave him the parade. 642 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 2: There you go, Jimmy Garoppolo had already had a press 643 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 2: conference where he told the Bay Area media and I 644 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 2: quote see you, thank you. And then after off season 645 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 2: surgery and being traded nowhere, somehow the forty nine ers 646 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 2: in Garoppolo as he sat off to the side of 647 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 2: practice every day, came to some sort of an agreement 648 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 2: to stay with the team. There was a very healthy 649 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 2: debate at that time in the Bay Area in terms 650 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 2: of what was actually going on there. A lot of 651 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 2: people were like, hey, more quarterbacks, great, Like yeah, your 652 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 2: bolster in your room. I thought to Myselfie from you 653 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 2: don't do that to the number three pick in the 654 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 2: draft when you give him the job. Do not re 655 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 2: sign a guy who's literally two years off of a 656 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 2: Super Bowl appearance and an NFC title appearance with this 657 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 2: same team. You do not grab him, stick him back 658 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 2: in your room and have him look over the shoulder 659 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 2: of the pup who's taken over the role for as 660 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 2: a starter for the first time. That that felt unfair 661 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 2: through my eyes, But I also think that you only 662 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 2: do that if you're not liking what you're seeing in practice. 663 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 2: That was my read on it. Now, do you want 664 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 2: to call is that BS? Is that an agenda and 665 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 2: where do we fit in the whole idea of Dude, 666 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 2: if you were awesome, they were to put you on 667 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 2: the field. Yeah like that right? 668 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 5: I mean, look, if you can go, they're not gonna 669 00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 5: hide the talent, you know. And I'm a I'm hopeful 670 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 5: that he gets a real shot. Like I said, you 671 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 5: need a season to understand who you are as a player, 672 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 5: especially at the quarterback position. You need a season where 673 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 5: you are at the helm. There's no one looking over you, 674 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 5: not looking over your shoulder, there's no one behind you. 675 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 5: There's it's just you. Wins are losses. Hey, it's on you. 676 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 5: And until you get that, we won't know. 677 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 3: We just won't know. 678 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 5: Think about the Sam Donald's and uh uh and. 679 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 3: Mayfield what's the kid? 680 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:44,439 Speaker 4: Uh? 681 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:50,240 Speaker 3: Now? For the Chargers, Zach knows Zach, Zach Wilson. 682 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 2: Oach Wilson. 683 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 5: Like they they were playing, it was like, hey man, 684 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 5: this is what this is what it is, right David. 685 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 5: They had plenty of opportunity to go what Geno Smith. 686 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: Right. 687 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 5: These quarterbacks had ample opportunities to play the good and 688 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 5: the bad for people to assess the next move. Keep them, 689 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 5: leave them, trade them, whatever that is he's never had that. 690 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 5: He's never had that, and it's not gonna get it 691 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 5: now playing behind Justin Herbert, Right. 692 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,399 Speaker 2: That's the other thing, you know, Yeah, probably not gonna 693 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 2: happen now either. Okay, coming up next football this year, 694 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 2: your family's not going anywhere. 695 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 4: How do you deal with that? That's next? 696 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio. 697 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just getting started, just getting started right here 698 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,720 Speaker 2: in these Fox Sports Radio studios. Oh yeah, Steph Curry 699 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 2: and Lebron James names are both gonna come up later 700 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 2: on in the show. 701 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 4: You can count on that. 702 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 2: But I have maybe the most important question of the 703 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 2: year to ask you. You know, we get into all 704 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 2: of this and NBA and Major League Baseball and NFL 705 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 2: and who's doing what out there on the field, and 706 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 2: let's get real. What matters more is what is happening 707 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 2: inside people's homes and football is here. And I feel 708 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 2: like we tiptoe into this every year, and we probably shouldn't, 709 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 2: because when you tiptoe in, that's what causes fights. People 710 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 2: need to know where you stand, be authentic with other people, 711 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 2: let them know what you're thinking and feeling, so that 712 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 2: you can manage their expectations. 713 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,760 Speaker 4: Under promise, over deliver. 714 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 2: In other words, if you're a big football fan, it 715 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 2: is time right now, August tenth, to tell your family 716 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 2: that you're unavailable for the next five months of their lives. 717 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 2: How do you handle this? Data of two and wonderful 718 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 2: husband that you are. 719 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 5: Wife is number one, phenomenal.

She goes, look low stakes, but let's 1046 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 2: just do a fantasy league family only. Look at this 1047 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 2: one family only. There are five kids, not all of 1048 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 2: them are involved. Some of them really don't even know 1049 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 2: the difference between a football and a basketball.

I think if you're building 1151 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 5: a global what they are the NBA is a global brand, 1152 01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 5: and I think there's something to be said about I'm 1153 01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,960 Speaker 5: just gonna throw some names out there, okay, of guys 1154 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 5: who can still play at a high level or that 1155 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 5: are not in the league anymore.

You gotta remember, the league 1164 01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,400 Speaker 5: is very small, so once these new talented players come in, 1165 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 5: the other ones got to go somewhere. You got to 1166 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,800 Speaker 5: go somewhere. They got the G League, and you spend 1167 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 5: your whole career in the G League, and and and 1168 01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:29,280 Speaker 5: and all of that. But for me, I think there 1169 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:36,960 Speaker 5: is a place where you can create a league, and 1170 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 5: it could be a global league. You play games in Japan, 1171 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,480 Speaker 5: you play games in France, you play all over of 1172 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 5: NBA players and some stars who can still play similar 1173 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 5: to the Big Three, but in real basketball, right, and 1174 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 5: then you can put some young up and coming talent 1175 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 5: with those guys and and and kind of get them 1176 01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 5: ready for the league. Because when you look at a 1177 01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 5: Michael Beasley, you look at Atlanta and Stevenson, you look 1178 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 5: at these guys who can still play, but there's nowhere 1179 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 5: for them to play. These guys I'm talking about, these 1180 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,959 Speaker 5: guys are thirty two years old, thirty three years old, 1181 01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 5: they're out of the league. They're done yet they made 1182 01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 5: some money and all of that. Javelle McGee, Dwight Howard, right, 1183 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,720 Speaker 5: these guys can play basketball. So if you were to 1184 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 5: create something where it could work on a global scale, 1185 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,400 Speaker 5: because if you take these stars and these teams abroad, 1186 01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 5: people they're clamoring to see this, they're clamoring to see it. 1187 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,480 Speaker 5: I think there's a space where you can live there. 1188 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 5: But if you were creating a league to rival the NBA, 1189 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:49,560 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know. Now the money is the 1190 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 5: money Now, if you if you were saying what you 1191 01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 5: were saying, would. 1192 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:53,440 Speaker 2: You say. 1193 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 4: A year? 1194 01:07:55,720 --> 01:08:01,440 Speaker 2: I all, like, not necessarily a year, but maybe maybe maybe, 1195 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 2: I mean the structure of it would be tbd. But 1196 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,080 Speaker 2: if the idea is is that you're tapping into this 1197 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:12,680 Speaker 2: Saudi money again, just like golf did. If I don't, 1198 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,040 Speaker 2: I don't know how you feel, it feels limitless. 1199 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, what it is, that's how it feels, don't you. 1200 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,439 Speaker 2: Tiger Woods before he's he's sort of like stopped playing, 1201 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:26,080 Speaker 2: was off. 1202 01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,800 Speaker 5: For a billion dollars. Yeah, turned it down, and then 1203 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:30,920 Speaker 5: six months later they merged with Live. 1204 01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:36,920 Speaker 2: He was like, wa, sorda sorta. I mean they haven't 1205 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 2: really merged. They kind of like. 1206 01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 3: They're in partnership. 1207 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:44,520 Speaker 4: If it's still not playing together. 1208 01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:46,559 Speaker 5: But it'll be. It's that's all being worked out. It's 1209 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,120 Speaker 5: not if you're over there you can't be with us. 1210 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 5: It's not that anymore. And that's what it was. Wow, 1211 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 5: it was if you play live, you can't play in 1212 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 5: this this and that. 1213 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 3: That's not the case anymore. 1214 01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 2: Well, but it's still a hybrid of that. I mean, like, yes, 1215 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,320 Speaker 2: they come together from majors, but you do not have 1216 01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:02,840 Speaker 2: guys that are going back and forth. 1217 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no no, you can play in the majors, 1218 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:06,839 Speaker 5: but they remember they said you couldn't. 1219 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,880 Speaker 2: They were trying with that, right, Yeah, and then there's 1220 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:14,599 Speaker 2: the World Golf Ranking points, there's all this stuff, but yeah, 1221 01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:19,120 Speaker 2: you still you still have a separation of tours. And 1222 01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 2: so when you have your non major tournament, and I'm 1223 01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,680 Speaker 2: not saying that these were huge draws to begin with, 1224 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,200 Speaker 2: but when you have your non major but still big 1225 01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:37,439 Speaker 2: PGA Tour event, like it's completely watered down because a 1226 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 2: good strong handful of the biggest names in golf are 1227 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,840 Speaker 2: not there. And how would you feel if on some 1228 01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,400 Speaker 2: level that would happen in the NBA, Like you came 1229 01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 2: up with a little bit of a twist on the idea, 1230 01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 2: maybe that's how it would go, Maybe it wouldn't. 1231 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,800 Speaker 5: I think that's the way it works, as I think, 1232 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,519 Speaker 5: because I think there's a market there. I think there's 1233 01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 5: a mark for something like that. Because the NBA is 1234 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 5: becoming a true global brand, that's where all the money 1235 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 5: comes from for their they're not they didn't get the 1236 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,120 Speaker 5: broadcasting rights because people watching in the US, I can 1237 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,200 Speaker 5: tell you that it wasn't. 1238 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:16,640 Speaker 2: Right. 1239 01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:17,800 Speaker 3: It's not here. 1240 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:23,439 Speaker 5: Well, but those streaming rights are international, so these, you know, 1241 01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 5: people all over the play. NBA is a big business globally. Now, 1242 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:31,439 Speaker 5: if you can construct a league with professional players NBA 1243 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:36,000 Speaker 5: guys who can now play a certain amount of games 1244 01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:41,360 Speaker 5: in this whatever league you want to call that, and 1245 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 5: that's the league that travels, and that's the league that 1246 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,599 Speaker 5: it's similar to what the Big Three was. Right, ice 1247 01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 5: Cube came up with an idea of these guys can 1248 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:49,840 Speaker 5: still play, Like what's going on? 1249 01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 2: I'm into that. All I'm saying is you and this 1250 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 2: hour have a lot more faith in the business goals 1251 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,680 Speaker 2: maybe of Maverick Carter that I do. 1252 01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:02,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not. 1253 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that he's nefarious or even wrong. But 1254 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:11,559 Speaker 2: if we do look at the way that Maverick and 1255 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 2: Lebron James think, forget any rumor just look at the 1256 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:20,080 Speaker 2: way they think. And there is some backing to their 1257 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,720 Speaker 2: thought process, but their thought process is we're bigger than 1258 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:24,640 Speaker 2: the sport. 1259 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:29,240 Speaker 5: Well, the NBA has created that. Yes, they have the 1260 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,759 Speaker 5: NBA is a player's lead, no. 1261 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,679 Speaker 2: Doubt, and Lebron is the poster for that with player 1262 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:36,799 Speaker 2: empowerment and movement and then. 1263 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:42,800 Speaker 5: Look right magic like, so the NBA is built on that, right. 1264 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 4: But I think Lebron in terms of being a businessman 1265 01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:46,120 Speaker 4: more so. 1266 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,479 Speaker 2: Than those previous absolutely, And I say that even with 1267 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 2: what Jordan ended up doing with the shoes. But if 1268 01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 2: you look like even at the way he's handled this offseason, 1269 01:11:55,960 --> 01:12:00,680 Speaker 2: Luca the Laker, and now we're like submitting letters to 1270 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:06,160 Speaker 2: the public. Oh, Lebron is not terribly happy with the director. 1271 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 2: It's like wow at age forty. And again this isn't 1272 01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 2: a criticism. I get it. Lebron, James and Steph Curry. 1273 01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,639 Speaker 2: If we were in debate class, they've got a pretty 1274 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,320 Speaker 2: good pitch to the idea that we're bigger than you. 1275 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:27,439 Speaker 2: Will we drive your ratings. When the Pacers play the thunder, whoop, 1276 01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:28,759 Speaker 2: there go the ratings. 1277 01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:30,400 Speaker 4: So we're bigger. 1278 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:35,360 Speaker 2: So what's to say that they're not thinking like Phil 1279 01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 2: Mickelson was once upon a time. 1280 01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,559 Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you this, if this was ten years 1281 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 5: ago and Lebron and Steph were Lebron and Steff ten 1282 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:49,679 Speaker 5: years ago, then the NBA would have calls for concern. 1283 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:58,000 Speaker 5: But those two individuals are seemingly close to being on 1284 01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:58,920 Speaker 5: their way done. 1285 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,240 Speaker 4: But who they meet with on a yacht? 1286 01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:02,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, Nicole. 1287 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,799 Speaker 2: That nicolais what's to stop them from going to Wemby 1288 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:11,879 Speaker 2: and Cooper Flag and saying we will pay you double 1289 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 2: per year. 1290 01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:18,000 Speaker 5: Because those guys haven't had their feel of the league yet. 1291 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:20,920 Speaker 3: You understand, like you know a lot. 1292 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,479 Speaker 2: Of DGA tour players who are on the outside or 1293 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:24,360 Speaker 2: the outskirts or. 1294 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 5: Yeah, but those guys coming out, those guys aren't on 1295 01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,120 Speaker 5: the outside, are the outskirts. 1296 01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:29,000 Speaker 3: That's the difference. 1297 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:32,720 Speaker 5: Now, if you go to somebody like a Stan Johnson, Right, 1298 01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:34,800 Speaker 5: if you go to Stan Johnson and be like, hey, 1299 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 5: we want to pay you this much money, You've never 1300 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,719 Speaker 5: made this much on in the NBA and probably never will. 1301 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,839 Speaker 5: Stan Johnson is gone. But if you go to Cooper Flag, 1302 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:48,560 Speaker 5: whose earning potential is a billion dollars in the NBA. 1303 01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 3: What can you offer him two billion? Yeah? 1304 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 5: But how like you get what I'm saying, Like he hasn't, 1305 01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:58,559 Speaker 5: He hasn't gotten his thing. If you go to Wemby, 1306 01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 5: he hasn't. Right, He's going to make whatever he's going 1307 01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,000 Speaker 5: to make. So it doesn't make sense in terms of 1308 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,000 Speaker 5: that because for them, they know the money is there. 1309 01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:12,800 Speaker 5: For the golfers, those golfers who went to Live, they're 1310 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,880 Speaker 5: making more money than they've ever made. 1311 01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 4: Well, but again and the good ones who went, Yeah, 1312 01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:18,840 Speaker 4: what about them? 1313 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,520 Speaker 5: They got a lump sum up front. 1314 01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,920 Speaker 4: Right, and what's to say that wouldn't happen here? 1315 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, but what's the lump sum? Like if you say 1316 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,720 Speaker 5: Cooper Flag, I'll give you. 1317 01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,280 Speaker 2: I have no idea, Jason Tatum, but what if it's 1318 01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:35,040 Speaker 2: what if it's what if it is two hundred million dollars. 1319 01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 3: For one year of basketball? 1320 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 4: No, just love some to come beyond our league? 1321 01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 5: No, because that's not even right, Like, why not two 1322 01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,000 Speaker 5: hundred million to come be in this league? 1323 01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 3: Now? 1324 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:49,240 Speaker 5: The thing that has to happen. And what Live had 1325 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:54,719 Speaker 5: was they already had the broadcasting rights. They had already 1326 01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:58,880 Speaker 5: secured the rights to broadcast. 1327 01:14:58,360 --> 01:14:59,120 Speaker 2: For the league. 1328 01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 3: So now if if. 1329 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:05,800 Speaker 5: You say Lebron Nicola, Steph and the powers that be 1330 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:13,000 Speaker 5: have gone to Apple, are gone to Netflix, right, are 1331 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,720 Speaker 5: gone to who what is an other national one? I 1332 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:21,120 Speaker 5: think Apple, Netflix, Amazon A Video Amazon, Amazon, And they've 1333 01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 5: secured they've secured viewership rights. 1334 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:27,160 Speaker 2: What would stop them? 1335 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. 1336 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,519 Speaker 5: Now, that's a different conversation because everybody who plays in 1337 01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:37,560 Speaker 5: the NBA wants to be seen playing in the NBA. 1338 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:42,160 Speaker 2: Unless you can offer them so much money Dustin Johnson, 1339 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,280 Speaker 2: Brooks Koepka that you don't give a rip if anybody 1340 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:46,120 Speaker 2: sees you anymore. 1341 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,760 Speaker 5: And that's a different thing. Those guys have, Like I said, 1342 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,920 Speaker 5: Dustin Johnson Kepka, they've been playing for how long? 1343 01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 4: Long? Ish long? Ish's old? 1344 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 2: Right? 1345 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,599 Speaker 5: They made more money and lived than they've ever made 1346 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 5: in PGA, and they're making. 1347 01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:01,920 Speaker 2: It faster, right. 1348 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,599 Speaker 3: So basketball is a different animal. 1349 01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:09,160 Speaker 5: It is. It's a completely different animal. And when we're 1350 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,479 Speaker 5: talking about a sport that the majority of people don't watch, 1351 01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 5: when we're talking about golf. Now you have golf fans, 1352 01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 5: you have golf enthusiasts, but on a large scale, when 1353 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,559 Speaker 5: you look at ratings, where does golf land? 1354 01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,000 Speaker 2: Oh lower, much lower? 1355 01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:30,559 Speaker 5: So it's an easier thing to right now when you 1356 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:34,439 Speaker 5: talk about Look, the NFL is showing you right now, 1357 01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,840 Speaker 5: right the NFL number one is an owner driven league. 1358 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 5: It's not a players league, and they're cornering the market 1359 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:46,000 Speaker 5: on viewership. Yep, they're they're, they're they're giving you the 1360 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:51,000 Speaker 5: blueprint of how to expand and take over. They have 1361 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:57,040 Speaker 5: every streaming service scrambling now to buy for sure different 1362 01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:01,679 Speaker 5: type of content, sure sports based content to go along 1363 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 5: with the live sports packages that they just purchased for 1364 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:14,679 Speaker 5: billions of dollars. Netflix, Amazon, Apple, and YouTube. They all 1365 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:19,599 Speaker 5: have the NFL. They all have the NFL, right right, 1366 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,680 Speaker 5: So they're showing you, oh no, no, no, this is 1367 01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,519 Speaker 5: how we take over. So I'm saying if players went 1368 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:33,439 Speaker 5: to the streamers the nation, the global streamers and say hey, 1369 01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 5: and I'm not talking about a weekend window. I'm talking 1370 01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 5: about the window where the NBA plays at any given time. 1371 01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,160 Speaker 5: You know, well, in nine games at night. 1372 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 2: Maybe that's next. Maybe it's next. Here we got a pause. 1373 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:51,920 Speaker 2: We can keep going with this. Plus at the top 1374 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,240 Speaker 2: of the hour, an interesting comment from Steph Curry. That's 1375 01:17:55,280 --> 01:18:01,479 Speaker 2: all still ahead. Mark Willity from Salam Fox Sports Radio, Okay, 1376 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,639 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Studios. Mark Worthy from Salam Okay, quick 1377 01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:06,280 Speaker 2: question for you. Top of the album. Get to the 1378 01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:11,759 Speaker 2: Steph Curry stuff. Next hour, we fill in the blank 1379 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:15,679 Speaker 2: the worst run NFL organization is. And then we fill 1380 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:19,240 Speaker 2: in the blank. But this is kind of just stream 1381 01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 2: of consciousness. You know, the internet is buzzing right now. 1382 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 2: You heard Brianna talk about it last hour. Three time 1383 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:31,160 Speaker 2: Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson of the Philadelphia Eagles was 1384 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:35,200 Speaker 2: carted off the practice field tonight, unable to put any 1385 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 2: weight on his leg. Now I don't know the extent 1386 01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:42,800 Speaker 2: of the injury, but that's the news that we've got. 1387 01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 2: And you know, one of their other starting guards from 1388 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 2: last year, Mackay Beckton, left in free agency, and so 1389 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,040 Speaker 2: I'm also hearing and this is good for fantasy football drafters. 1390 01:18:56,880 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 2: There's a lot of people out there kind of predicting 1391 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:04,519 Speaker 2: for Sakuon Barkley this year, some form of what happened 1392 01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:08,280 Speaker 2: to Christi McCaffrey last year. When you lead the league 1393 01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:13,040 Speaker 2: in touches, when you go close to four hundred touches, 1394 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,799 Speaker 2: are you in a bad spot the following year? Yes, 1395 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,960 Speaker 2: And by the way, you went all the way to 1396 01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,679 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. That's true for McCaffrey the year before. 1397 01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:24,160 Speaker 2: It's true for Barkley this year. 1398 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 5: So you say yes, yes, I mean Jamal Anderson in 1399 01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:37,519 Speaker 5: ninety eight for US I had the most carries ever 1400 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:43,200 Speaker 5: and all the way to the Super Bowl at eighteen 1401 01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:46,360 Speaker 5: hundred and forty six yards. I believe it was a 1402 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 5: one man wrecking crew and not throwing this out there 1403 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,439 Speaker 5: wishing this on anybody. The next year, I think week 1404 01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:58,960 Speaker 5: three towards ACL Yep, the body doesn't give back the carries. 1405 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:06,000 Speaker 5: The body doesn't give back the carries, so you can 1406 01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:07,960 Speaker 5: stay in shape and all that, but the body it 1407 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 5: I mean, what about. 1408 01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:14,120 Speaker 2: A bounce back later? Like is McCaffrey in a better 1409 01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:15,840 Speaker 2: spot this year? Oh? 1410 01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely? 1411 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:23,320 Speaker 2: Okay, that's interesting. Everybody hear that for your fantasy drafts? Okay? 1412 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 5: Uh? 1413 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,599 Speaker 2: Will do you hear what Steph Curry had to say? 1414 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,000 Speaker 2: That's next? 1415 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,320 Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio. 1416 01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 2: I get why the word exists, I really do. I'm 1417 01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,719 Speaker 2: not saying we should take it out of the English language, 1418 01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,040 Speaker 2: but it is one of my least favorite words. That 1419 01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:44,720 Speaker 2: word is realistic. I'm really not into the word realistic 1420 01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,960 Speaker 2: because I don't necessarily know if we really know what 1421 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,519 Speaker 2: is and what is not realistic. And by the way, 1422 01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:54,400 Speaker 2: if we only live by what's realistic, aren't we basically 1423 01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:58,240 Speaker 2: xing out the possibility of all the great stuff. If 1424 01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,920 Speaker 2: someone had come to you freshman year San Diego State 1425 01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:07,280 Speaker 2: and said, yeah, rookie starter in the NFL four years 1426 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:08,400 Speaker 2: from now, realistic? 1427 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:15,760 Speaker 3: Not really really? Yes, okay, And there you go. 1428 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:20,639 Speaker 2: Because you ignored the word, you can achieve some damn things. 1429 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,880 Speaker 2: So that's why I really don't love when people and 1430 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:27,640 Speaker 2: we do this in sports a lot that's not realistic. 1431 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:32,559 Speaker 2: And I'm like, you're probably right, but isn't it boring 1432 01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 2: to not try or shouldn't we at least leave open 1433 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,360 Speaker 2: the possibility? And this does come down to something that 1434 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 2: front offices in all sports have to sort away, like 1435 01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 2: should we go after something? 1436 01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 4: Should we not go after something? 1437 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,599 Speaker 2: We just had the trade deadline in baseball, I think 1438 01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 2: a team is looking at their chances and going is 1439 01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:55,880 Speaker 2: this realistic? And I do think sometimes you have to 1440 01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:59,559 Speaker 2: keep open for the possibility of a great run. In 1441 01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,880 Speaker 2: the second and a half, we're broadcasting live Fox Sports 1442 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,080 Speaker 2: Radio Studios. Here's why I bring it up. Check this out, 1443 01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 2: try it on for size. I want your opinion. It'll 1444 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:12,280 Speaker 2: be very helpful to me as a Warrior follower and talker. 1445 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:17,200 Speaker 2: Steph Curry Serious EXEM Radio. Take a listen to what 1446 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 2: he says about a championship still being ahead in his career. 1447 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,760 Speaker 12: I truly believe we can be championship relevant in the 1448 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:27,439 Speaker 12: sense of we're not probably not gonna be the favorite 1449 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:31,679 Speaker 12: in any conversation, but that we have a team that's 1450 01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:36,559 Speaker 12: capable of achieving that level. Again, knowing all that we've 1451 01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 12: been through over the last thirteen years and those four 1452 01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 12: trophies over there, so to add to that would be amazing. 1453 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 12: I think it's realistic to build towards that. I think 1454 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,120 Speaker 12: for me, that's literally the only thing I'm playing for 1455 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:51,320 Speaker 12: at this point. 1456 01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 2: It's literally the only thing I'm playing for at this point. 1457 01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,840 Speaker 4: End quote. So should he still be playing? 1458 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,320 Speaker 3: No? 1459 01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:07,080 Speaker 2: Not there? I mean no, whoa, whoa, that took a turn. 1460 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:08,960 Speaker 2: No what I'm saying, I mean, not there? 1461 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:12,000 Speaker 5: If he because what he said was weird, like the 1462 01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:17,240 Speaker 5: team there. Now, if you woke up tomorrow and Steph 1463 01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 5: Curry was traded to Dallas or Steph Curry was traded 1464 01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 5: to Okay, see for whatever, like, then that's a different conversation. 1465 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 3: Oh wow, but. 1466 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:33,559 Speaker 5: He's talking about there, And so no, because number one, 1467 01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,360 Speaker 5: number one, they're undersized, they don't have any size, and 1468 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:42,920 Speaker 5: the West is just getting bigger and they won't they 1469 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,400 Speaker 5: can shoot, or he can. 1470 01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,360 Speaker 2: Shoot the shoot. I think they need more shooting. 1471 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,280 Speaker 5: They do need more shooting, because without Clay, they lost 1472 01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:54,519 Speaker 5: a bunch of of of of three point field goals. 1473 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 5: Now they'll sporadically get them, but as they're currently constru 1474 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:05,640 Speaker 5: they're not big enough to outduel or out punch or 1475 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 5: out play anybody in the West. 1476 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 3: How many times are the top four teams? 1477 01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 2: Help me with this, because now we're projecting, and that's 1478 01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:15,400 Speaker 2: fair because that's what we do. 1479 01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:16,680 Speaker 3: Of course we have to. 1480 01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:20,280 Speaker 2: But help me with this, because it's the month of August. 1481 01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:24,519 Speaker 2: That means one to three months ago. Three months ago, 1482 01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:32,400 Speaker 2: that team as currently constructed, without an offseason of help, 1483 01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:37,559 Speaker 2: that team sat with a one nothing road lead in 1484 01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:41,400 Speaker 2: the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, and then 1485 01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 2: that man you just heard up walked off the court 1486 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,120 Speaker 2: and didn't come back and they never won another game. 1487 01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,080 Speaker 2: But you could almost start with this, do you think 1488 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 2: that they win that series or have a chance to 1489 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:53,720 Speaker 2: if he doesn't get hurt. 1490 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:55,840 Speaker 5: I think they do have a chance to win that series. 1491 01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:59,479 Speaker 2: Okay, so then if they win that series, well, now 1492 01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:01,040 Speaker 2: you're in the conference finals. 1493 01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:04,519 Speaker 4: Now you're in there in the conference finals. 1494 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 2: Is that not sort of what he's talking about in 1495 01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:09,360 Speaker 2: terms of championship relevance. 1496 01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, but what I'm saying is number one, it was 1497 01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:16,439 Speaker 5: a grind for them to even get there for sure. 1498 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,960 Speaker 4: Part of that a whole doug that before Jimmy Butler 1499 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:20,360 Speaker 4: played for. 1500 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:25,840 Speaker 5: The team though, right right, And so now you have 1501 01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 5: to go through that whole gauntlet again. Now all of 1502 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 5: your stars are aging. For sure, there is no young energy. 1503 01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 5: Would you agree with that? Not no young energy when 1504 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:48,720 Speaker 5: you think about it, like an impactful young energy. 1505 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 2: I mean yet, no, not someone that you rely on 1506 01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,600 Speaker 2: night in and night out to sort of like spark you. 1507 01:25:54,760 --> 01:26:02,080 Speaker 5: Now, so we need steph uh, Jimmy and Draymond to 1508 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:10,240 Speaker 5: be healthy for at least at least at least sixty 1509 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 5: sixty five games. 1510 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I figured you'd say. Yeah, yeah, you do. 1511 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:16,839 Speaker 3: Is that doable? 1512 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:17,960 Speaker 2: It's doable? 1513 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:19,960 Speaker 4: Is it likely? I don't know? 1514 01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,559 Speaker 2: But now here now we're not likely. We've circled right 1515 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 2: back to our word realistic. 1516 01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:29,280 Speaker 5: So that's why I say, no, it's not. I don't 1517 01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,160 Speaker 5: think it's because the West is getting better. They're not 1518 01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,400 Speaker 5: getting weird. It's not the same West as last year. 1519 01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:38,040 Speaker 5: Houston is not the same team. No, but again, Dallas 1520 01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:40,800 Speaker 5: is not the same team. Well we're projecting, yeah, we're 1521 01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:42,880 Speaker 5: what I'm just saying in terms of what teams have 1522 01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,639 Speaker 5: done this offseason in the draft, so and so forth, I. 1523 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 2: Don't know what on earth Dallas has done to scare you. 1524 01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:49,920 Speaker 4: They've gotten a player. 1525 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:50,519 Speaker 3: No, no, they're not. 1526 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:50,840 Speaker 2: They're not. 1527 01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 5: No. 1528 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,000 Speaker 2: I mean they drafted someone that we think is going 1529 01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:55,920 Speaker 2: to be good, but he's never played before. 1530 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 5: San Antonio is not going to be san Antonio. Off 1531 01:26:58,320 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 5: last year, I can promise you. 1532 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,519 Speaker 2: That you wouldn't think you would. 1533 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,639 Speaker 5: So the Lakers won't be the Lakers of last year. 1534 01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,320 Speaker 4: Well, Lakers last year were a fifty one team. They're 1535 01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:07,800 Speaker 4: pretty good. 1536 01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 5: Like I said, they won't be that team. They'll be better. 1537 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:17,360 Speaker 2: Oh, they'll be better. Okay, So maybe this thing of. 1538 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,800 Speaker 5: It's easy to say that coming off and just like 1539 01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,240 Speaker 5: you say, well, go back three months ago and they 1540 01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,960 Speaker 5: were there. But now if you go a year in 1541 01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 5: three months, this not that they were not there, right, 1542 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:33,920 Speaker 5: it's it's a it's a different. 1543 01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 4: So they got better even as they know. 1544 01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,519 Speaker 5: What I'm saying. If you fast forward a year, Oh 1545 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,320 Speaker 5: and well, I don't know what's gonna happen, Like, no 1546 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,800 Speaker 5: one knows what's gonna happen. But what I'm saying is 1547 01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 5: in order for as they're currently constructed, and order for 1548 01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:52,520 Speaker 5: them to have a shot realistically at winning another championship. 1549 01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:59,439 Speaker 3: I mean, do you know what's funny. 1550 01:27:58,200 --> 01:27:59,959 Speaker 4: When we say as currently constructed? 1551 01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 2: And I'm quite confident that when basketball rolls around again, 1552 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:05,200 Speaker 2: they won't be constructed. 1553 01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:07,439 Speaker 3: It'll be different. It'll be a different team. 1554 01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:08,719 Speaker 4: They'll probably be even older. 1555 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:12,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's not supposed Supposedly, Al Horford. 1556 01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,200 Speaker 3: Is going to be honest and not what you want. 1557 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:16,400 Speaker 2: That's what they want. 1558 01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 5: That's not what you need right now. It's a good player, 1559 01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,080 Speaker 5: you don't need that well, Al Horford. But he's forty. 1560 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:24,000 Speaker 5: He about to be forty. 1561 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 2: Lebron James is forty, Al Horford, you're not asking him 1562 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:31,320 Speaker 2: to do that, Lebron James. 1563 01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:31,760 Speaker 4: No, he's not. 1564 01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:33,800 Speaker 2: But you're also not asking him to do nearly as 1565 01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 2: much or even play nearly as much. 1566 01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:39,280 Speaker 5: What I'm telling you is it's tall, the gauntlet you 1567 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:42,640 Speaker 5: have to go through, with the eighty two games and 1568 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:48,040 Speaker 5: the rigors of it, it doesn't bode well for getting older. 1569 01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:49,439 Speaker 2: I agree with you. 1570 01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:51,120 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. 1571 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:54,599 Speaker 5: But now if they, if Al Horford included, if they 1572 01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:59,479 Speaker 5: can all play sixty five games together, they'll be in 1573 01:28:59,520 --> 01:28:59,920 Speaker 5: the mix. 1574 01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:04,840 Speaker 2: But I guess the question becomes, even if I agree 1575 01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:10,479 Speaker 2: with your premise, are you basically suggesting that either he 1576 01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:17,040 Speaker 2: and or the Warriors should not be approaching things the 1577 01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:17,920 Speaker 2: way that they are. 1578 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:19,400 Speaker 3: That's the only outlook you can have. 1579 01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,920 Speaker 5: You can't and Steph Curry is as storied as he is, 1580 01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:24,400 Speaker 5: he can't go into the thing. 1581 01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:28,000 Speaker 3: And be like, uh, I don't know, man, maybe play. 1582 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,240 Speaker 4: In Yeah, No, who's got the energy for that? 1583 01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,320 Speaker 5: And he wouldn't suggest sometations are high. 1584 01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,960 Speaker 2: And you wouldn't suggest some sort of youth twist or 1585 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 2: movement from the Warriors, would you? 1586 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:39,400 Speaker 3: No? 1587 01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:42,000 Speaker 5: I mean he had the pieces in place. They botched it. 1588 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:46,559 Speaker 5: I mean severely, which part the youth movement the guys 1589 01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:49,280 Speaker 5: who was supposed to be coming in to help and 1590 01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:50,200 Speaker 5: push the team. 1591 01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,640 Speaker 4: Right, But they botched it by who they picked or 1592 01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:53,519 Speaker 4: by how they used. 1593 01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:56,840 Speaker 5: It, how they developed them and used them right, Like 1594 01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 5: Jordan Poole. If it wasn't for Jordan Poole, they don't 1595 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:04,240 Speaker 5: win the championship because what he was doing was unbelievable. 1596 01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:07,480 Speaker 5: They mismanaged it all and let it get all crazy. 1597 01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,160 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if they mismanaged it. He got 1598 01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:10,520 Speaker 2: punched in the face, baymate. 1599 01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 5: But that's what I'm saying. They saw this brute. Come on, man, 1600 01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,000 Speaker 5: what it just didn't happened that day? 1601 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,800 Speaker 2: No it didn't. But that's why. And this is where 1602 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:23,640 Speaker 2: I I this. I hesitate very much so because what 1603 01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 2: what ends up happening is people start accusing talkers of. 1604 01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:28,919 Speaker 4: Like victim shaming. 1605 01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:33,639 Speaker 2: But I I know, I know for a fact that 1606 01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 2: there were some dynamics at play. Of course, there were 1607 01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:42,280 Speaker 2: some dynamics the whole season inted off season. There were 1608 01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:45,880 Speaker 2: some dynamics in play based on money, based on behavior, 1609 01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:50,479 Speaker 2: based on old guys, young guys, and it and its 1610 01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:53,680 Speaker 2: spilled over one day and Draymond lost his bananas and 1611 01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:55,120 Speaker 2: then here here we end up. 1612 01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:58,519 Speaker 4: But so how would you suggest that the team do something? 1613 01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:03,639 Speaker 5: So this is what it is, right, Okay, So they 1614 01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:08,599 Speaker 5: brought Kaminga and Jordan Poole in to give that youthful spark. 1615 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,720 Speaker 5: I would just mention it correct, And they did exactly that. 1616 01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:16,040 Speaker 5: They They everything they needed from the young guys coming 1617 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:19,439 Speaker 5: in they got from those two and it led all 1618 01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 5: the way to a championship. But he was just coming in. 1619 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,920 Speaker 5: He was athletic, play some defense, get a rebound, dunk 1620 01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:28,639 Speaker 5: on somebody. 1621 01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:30,920 Speaker 3: That's what you needed at the time. He was a kid. 1622 01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:33,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, he would dunk right the defense and rebounding thing. 1623 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:35,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, But what I'm saying is, ok the kid had 1624 01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,479 Speaker 5: been playing basketball really for like four years. 1625 01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:41,760 Speaker 4: No criticism of him. 1626 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:46,320 Speaker 5: So you have to develop that. Okay, as a team, 1627 01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 5: you have to develop that. What if the player won't 1628 01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:51,320 Speaker 5: what do you mean, what if the player want? What 1629 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:54,120 Speaker 5: if the player is being asked and developed? No, No, you 1630 01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:56,240 Speaker 5: have to develop you know, you have to develop him, 1631 01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:59,599 Speaker 5: like you have a whole staff to develop players. But 1632 01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:02,920 Speaker 5: this is what I know for a fact. What happens 1633 01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:09,679 Speaker 5: on a veteran led team. There's less development because your 1634 01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:14,160 Speaker 5: culture is set. It's there. So you don't have the 1635 01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:19,200 Speaker 5: attention to those young guys that you're going to really need. 1636 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:20,000 Speaker 2: No doubt. 1637 01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:24,240 Speaker 5: And so what happens So let me and so what 1638 01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:30,240 Speaker 5: happens is you get to the mountaintop, you win with 1639 01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:34,719 Speaker 5: the old guys, so you feel like, oh, we still 1640 01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:39,280 Speaker 5: got it, we can still do this. I said after 1641 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:42,519 Speaker 5: that championship. They need to break this thing up a 1642 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:46,479 Speaker 5: little bit and usher in the new guys and put 1643 01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:50,439 Speaker 5: them in more prominent roles to help them develop. They said, no, 1644 01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:53,760 Speaker 5: we want to run it back, and the Wills fell 1645 01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:57,599 Speaker 5: off that thing, right, the Wills fell off. 1646 01:32:58,080 --> 01:32:59,840 Speaker 2: Well, they wanted all those young guys. 1647 01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:00,680 Speaker 3: They paid. 1648 01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:02,840 Speaker 5: They paid Draymond what they paid them. 1649 01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:04,479 Speaker 4: They also paid Jordan Poole. 1650 01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:07,479 Speaker 5: They paid Jordan Poole, and they didn't want the money 1651 01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:10,600 Speaker 5: that they offer him. Well, that wasn't about money. But 1652 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:15,360 Speaker 5: what I'm saying is you gotta be like, let them go, 1653 01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,160 Speaker 5: like the Jordan Poole thing. 1654 01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:20,240 Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that the Warriors doing what you were 1655 01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:22,040 Speaker 2: saying to do. They did let Clay go. 1656 01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's they one year too late. Fair, that's 1657 01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,000 Speaker 5: what I was saying. I was saying, No, you got 1658 01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,599 Speaker 5: the young guys who've shown a flash, and that's exactly 1659 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:36,479 Speaker 5: what you want, a young player coming in and helping 1660 01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:40,080 Speaker 5: you get to the mountaintop and then you kind of 1661 01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:40,880 Speaker 5: ignore them. 1662 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:42,360 Speaker 4: That's fair. That's fair. 1663 01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:43,240 Speaker 3: That's what I mean. 1664 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:44,080 Speaker 2: That's fair. 1665 01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:46,800 Speaker 5: They have a different team right now, but there'll be 1666 01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:49,400 Speaker 5: a kaminga would be a different player. Jordan Poole, if 1667 01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:51,880 Speaker 5: kept in check, would be a different player for them. 1668 01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:56,000 Speaker 5: Maybe maybe it's it's all about the culture. Those three 1669 01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:58,920 Speaker 5: guys were locked in and they weren't letting anybody get 1670 01:33:58,960 --> 01:33:59,160 Speaker 5: in that. 1671 01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:04,679 Speaker 2: But you acknowledge the power and the weight of that, 1672 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 2: what those three had achieved, and absolutely difficult it is 1673 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:14,200 Speaker 2: for an organization to rage against that. 1674 01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,280 Speaker 5: Why do you think what's them call it? What's his name? 1675 01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,160 Speaker 5: Who he left GM? What's his name? By Myers? 1676 01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:19,280 Speaker 10: Oh? 1677 01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:19,880 Speaker 2: By Myers? 1678 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:24,240 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he saw he I'm almost positive he was 1679 01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 5: in there saying, hey, guys, we need to do this, 1680 01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,160 Speaker 5: and they were like, no. 1681 01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:32,200 Speaker 2: How much time did he spend with his family? When 1682 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:33,679 Speaker 2: he left to spend time with his family? 1683 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:37,000 Speaker 5: Right exactly. And so all I'm saying is he saw 1684 01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:40,880 Speaker 5: the writing on the wall. That's a real thing. You 1685 01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:46,600 Speaker 5: would leave something that was cooking and building up for 1686 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:49,960 Speaker 5: more of a run. He saw, and I'm sure he 1687 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,160 Speaker 5: was against the direction they end up going. So he 1688 01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,120 Speaker 5: was like, look, I appreciate you, guys. I'm gonna step 1689 01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:59,720 Speaker 5: over here and do something else. And we saw what 1690 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:03,400 Speaker 5: inspired after that. That's what I mean by those guys 1691 01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:05,479 Speaker 5: would have been and the team would have been a 1692 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:09,880 Speaker 5: different team right now. Now they're just old. Now they're 1693 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,080 Speaker 5: just old. They're undersized and they're older. 1694 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:15,080 Speaker 4: We'll still good. 1695 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:18,080 Speaker 5: No, I'm not saying they're not good at all. Still 1696 01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:21,400 Speaker 5: got the greatest shooter of ever on the team, and 1697 01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:23,639 Speaker 5: that dude can get hot. But can he get hot 1698 01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:28,599 Speaker 5: sixty five times? Can Jimmy Butler play in the regular 1699 01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:32,880 Speaker 5: season like he does in the playoffs, which he hasn't done. 1700 01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:37,040 Speaker 5: Can Draymond Green not be ejected or not cause you 1701 01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:37,839 Speaker 5: to lose games? 1702 01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:39,720 Speaker 2: Well, he did better without last year. 1703 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,200 Speaker 5: But just all I'm saying is when you have a 1704 01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:47,439 Speaker 5: body of work, now we can start making assumptions and 1705 01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:52,719 Speaker 5: projecting based on your body of work. If Jimmy Butler 1706 01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 5: played every game like he does in the playoffs, this 1707 01:35:55,920 --> 01:36:00,080 Speaker 5: would be a different conversation. That's not the case, and 1708 01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:04,000 Speaker 5: it has been, it hasn't been. Can Steph Curry stay 1709 01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:05,600 Speaker 5: healthy for sixty five games? 1710 01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1711 01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:10,920 Speaker 5: At his age? Yeah, I mean running nine miles a game. 1712 01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:11,720 Speaker 2: He did last year? 1713 01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:14,559 Speaker 3: Did he stay healthy the whole year? How many games? 1714 01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:15,920 Speaker 4: You said sixty five? 1715 01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:16,920 Speaker 2: How many the whole year? 1716 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,960 Speaker 3: How many? How many play I don't know, I'll look. 1717 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:21,840 Speaker 2: It up, look at it. Let's look it up. I will, 1718 01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:23,840 Speaker 2: I will, I think he played sixty five. 1719 01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:26,000 Speaker 5: Well, we'll see after coming back at the end of 1720 01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:27,440 Speaker 5: the after the break. 1721 01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:30,320 Speaker 4: Stay with three. Steph Curry played seventy games last year. 1722 01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:32,439 Speaker 3: That's perfect. Can he get seventy in this year? 1723 01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:38,519 Speaker 4: Of course he can? No, We mean no, right, all right? 1724 01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:39,840 Speaker 4: Fill in the blank. 1725 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:46,960 Speaker 2: Worst run currently worst run organization in the NFL is 1726 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,360 Speaker 2: we'll do that next Mark whether he from Slam Fox 1727 01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:55,840 Speaker 2: Sports Radio.

But we are not done yet. 1737 01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:30,000 Speaker 2: How would you like to fill that in? Worst run 1738 01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:31,600 Speaker 2: team in the NFL right now? Is? 1739 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:40,480 Speaker 5: Oh? Probably the Cowboys. 1740 01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:49,840 Speaker 2: That's why I asked, Like, that's crazy to say. It's 1741 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:54,360 Speaker 2: also the most expensive team in all of sport. So 1742 01:37:55,920 --> 01:38:00,720 Speaker 2: and it's not like they're well it's not and they're 1743 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:05,639 Speaker 2: not a perennial doormat. But I don't know if we're 1744 01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:08,880 Speaker 2: being prisoner of the moment. I'm so confused, So let 1745 01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:12,559 Speaker 2: me let me like, okay, yeah, no, go ahead. I'm 1746 01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,680 Speaker 2: so confused. And with Michael Parsons, I don't get it. 1747 01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:23,400 Speaker 5: We're all confused. But because the brand is so valuable, 1748 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:31,960 Speaker 5: it can survive in eptness. And that's the problem. No 1749 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:36,639 Speaker 5: matter what Jerry does or doesn't do, the brand doesn't 1750 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:41,280 Speaker 5: get diminished. So you can be as reckless or as 1751 01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:47,559 Speaker 5: as wild as you want your businessman number one, and 1752 01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:52,160 Speaker 5: the business is booming. He's been running the franchise like 1753 01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:57,760 Speaker 5: that for decades, stirring the pot. As long as they're 1754 01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:01,280 Speaker 5: talking about the cowboys out, I don't care what they're saying. 1755 01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:09,439 Speaker 5: And so when you're focused on that aspect and not ball, 1756 01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:15,639 Speaker 5: then you get here. What what an NFC Championship game? 1757 01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:20,920 Speaker 5: Since with thirty years, yeah you get here. But the 1758 01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:25,800 Speaker 5: most valuable brand in all of sport with no real 1759 01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:32,680 Speaker 5: success in thirty years, So it lends to being a 1760 01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:42,040 Speaker 5: dysfunctional franchise. Now, other dysfunctional franchises aren't valued as high, 1761 01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:45,680 Speaker 5: so they're really in there trying to fix the pieces. 1762 01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:49,880 Speaker 5: But when it comes to the Cowboys, the Cowboys will 1763 01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:53,160 Speaker 5: be the Cowboys. As Jerry will say, it will always 1764 01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:57,000 Speaker 5: be America's team, even though Americans have fall in love 1765 01:39:57,040 --> 01:40:03,680 Speaker 5: with others. But that lens to not really focusing on 1766 01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:07,120 Speaker 5: the things that you need to do to crew put 1767 01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:08,960 Speaker 5: a championship team together. 1768 01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:10,120 Speaker 3: And that's evident. 1769 01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:15,120 Speaker 2: So you right now think that the Dallas Cowboys are 1770 01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:17,880 Speaker 2: more poorly run than the Cleveland Browns? 1771 01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,080 Speaker 3: Yes, yep, I do. 1772 01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:25,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, honestly, those are probably your top two 1773 01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:30,559 Speaker 2: responses when when we threw that out there, Ville, I guess, yeah, sure, okay, 1774 01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,559 Speaker 2: that's fair like. But but that's why I threw it 1775 01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:35,719 Speaker 2: out there because I know that those are the names 1776 01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:40,360 Speaker 2: that come to the forefront and Cleveland has been what 1777 01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:41,559 Speaker 2: it has been for so long. 1778 01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:46,920 Speaker 5: And at least they're trying, but they're trying. 1779 01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:49,720 Speaker 2: Five quarterbacks and we can talk about Shador. I mean, 1780 01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:52,679 Speaker 2: that was that was a nice night, uh for for him? 1781 01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:55,000 Speaker 3: What'd you think about that? We haven't had a chance. 1782 01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:59,120 Speaker 4: I mean it's not like I'm look, I'm not a scout. 1783 01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:03,160 Speaker 2: So you know what I want to see from somebody 1784 01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:07,840 Speaker 2: in the preseason going against Carolina Panther backups is not 1785 01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:11,520 Speaker 2: even just stats or whatever. It's sort of just comfortability 1786 01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:15,280 Speaker 2: on an NFL field. Does he look the part, does 1787 01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:17,479 Speaker 2: he carry himself a certain way? Does he handle pressure 1788 01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:20,880 Speaker 2: a certain way? And I thought largely it was a 1789 01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:24,360 Speaker 2: pretty good performance from Shdor Sanders fine for what is 1790 01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,360 Speaker 2: now a fifth round draft pick in his first preseason game. 1791 01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,160 Speaker 2: I'm not big and I'm never going to be big 1792 01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:35,640 Speaker 2: on any draft pick. Like you've still never played in 1793 01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,200 Speaker 2: the NFL, and you're going to go into the locker 1794 01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:41,160 Speaker 2: room after the game and get mad at a reporter 1795 01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:42,800 Speaker 2: or a host. 1796 01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:44,880 Speaker 4: Because they don't say nice things about you. 1797 01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:49,760 Speaker 2: Look. Look, you can have whatever opinion you want about that. 1798 01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:55,680 Speaker 2: I would love for a quarterback on my. 1799 01:41:55,760 --> 01:42:02,120 Speaker 4: Team to have some really thick skin, really thick skin. 1800 01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:04,320 Speaker 2: And it's not even just quarterback, it's kind of any 1801 01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:10,839 Speaker 2: position for that matter, your professional athlete. And so Shador 1802 01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:12,720 Speaker 2: look good on the football field, I'd like for him 1803 01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:16,479 Speaker 2: to cut his rabbit ears off. That's what I think 1804 01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:17,679 Speaker 2: right now makes sense. 1805 01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:22,320 Speaker 3: Would you think I thought he'd handled himself well? Now? 1806 01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:25,280 Speaker 5: I don't necessarily like the entrance to your own with 1807 01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:26,960 Speaker 5: your own music playing and all of that. 1808 01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:28,479 Speaker 3: I think. 1809 01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:31,680 Speaker 5: The game is a little bit more serious than that, 1810 01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:34,000 Speaker 5: and he will find out that how serious it is. 1811 01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:38,160 Speaker 5: This is not college, this is not in il money, 1812 01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:45,679 Speaker 5: and there's a responsibility that you should relish and being 1813 01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:50,120 Speaker 5: the face of a franchise or have the opportunity to 1814 01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:52,519 Speaker 5: be the starting quarterback in the league. And it has 1815 01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:54,720 Speaker 5: nothing to do with rap music. It has nothing to 1816 01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:56,920 Speaker 5: do with your swag or any of that. It has 1817 01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,960 Speaker 5: everything to do with leadership and winning period, nothing else. 1818 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:01,559 Speaker 2: Mm hm. 1819 01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:07,320 Speaker 5: So you can, you can have the boombox and you 1820 01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:11,200 Speaker 5: can all of that. That's cool, yeah, okay, But to 1821 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:15,599 Speaker 5: me it just sends the wrong message, right because God 1822 01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:20,240 Speaker 5: forbid you go out there and it don't go your way. 1823 01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:24,559 Speaker 5: We must remember there's a lot of work to be 1824 01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:27,960 Speaker 5: done by this young man. Is he talented? 1825 01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:28,519 Speaker 3: Of course? 1826 01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:33,639 Speaker 5: Can he pull it off? We don't know, We don't. 1827 01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:38,160 Speaker 5: I do not have the answer to that. I don't 1828 01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:39,360 Speaker 5: not if. 1829 01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:41,519 Speaker 2: You're not if you're talking about you Door Sanders, right, 1830 01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:43,560 Speaker 2: but if you're talking about Steve. 1831 01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:46,719 Speaker 5: To say, you're pulled off.

Yes, we're 1887 01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:27,880 Speaker 9: toward the end of the seasons. The live golf season 1888 01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:30,679 Speaker 9: was well. They had to stop in Chicago, which apparently 1889 01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:33,400 Speaker 9: is the only city to have hosted live golf for 1890 01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:36,680 Speaker 9: its first four seasons. Effect As I was reading up 1891 01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:40,200 Speaker 9: on this weekend's tournament, one writer put it, and the 1892 01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:43,200 Speaker 9: customary twenty million dollar perst is on the light. It's 1893 01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:46,559 Speaker 9: like ho hum. They're offering twenty million dollars total for 1894 01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:49,519 Speaker 9: three days of golf, and the usual winning check of 1895 01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:54,080 Speaker 9: four million dollars offered today. And it goes to Dean Burmaster, 1896 01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:57,120 Speaker 9: who defeated two other golfers in the first toll of 1897 01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:59,840 Speaker 9: a playoff. One of those two others was John R. 1898 01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:03,559 Speaker 9: Burmester's a thirty six year old from South Africa. And 1899 01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,000 Speaker 9: by the way, right after he won in a playoff, 1900 01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:09,479 Speaker 9: his team won in a playoff, so he splits some 1901 01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:13,240 Speaker 9: of the team cash as well. He gets four million 1902 01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:16,360 Speaker 9: dollars as the winner. John Rahm and the guy he 1903 01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:20,600 Speaker 9: tied with about one point eight million dollars each. But 1904 01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:23,519 Speaker 9: on the PGA Tour they have started the playoffs and 1905 01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,240 Speaker 9: today it took three extra holes to get a winner. 1906 01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:30,240 Speaker 9: In Memphis, it's Justin Rose who beat out in a 1907 01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:33,840 Speaker 9: playoff the US Open champion JJ spawn. Rose had made 1908 01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:36,880 Speaker 9: four birdies on his last five holes in regulation. He's 1909 01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:40,920 Speaker 9: now won twelve times on the PGA Tour. The customary purse, 1910 01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:43,439 Speaker 9: you know, it's like live golf usually has the twenty 1911 01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,880 Speaker 9: mil perse. That's how much the purse was today or 1912 01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:49,760 Speaker 9: this weekend, I should say, for the PGA Tour, the 1913 01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:53,679 Speaker 9: winners check was three point six million dollars for Justin Rose. 1914 01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:57,120 Speaker 9: By the way, Scotty Scheffler tied for third with Tommy Fleetwood. 1915 01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:00,360 Speaker 9: They each get about one point one million. But I 1916 01:48:00,479 --> 01:48:04,120 Speaker 9: must mention here it was decided in a playoff and 1917 01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:06,479 Speaker 9: the third hole of one. On top of that, the 1918 01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:10,599 Speaker 9: difference between winning or not winning the playoff was one 1919 01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:14,400 Speaker 9: and a half million dollars. That's not the check for you, 1920 01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:19,679 Speaker 9: that's the difference in the checks. Well, we got first round, 1921 01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:22,799 Speaker 9: let's say, of the playoffs this weekend. We've got golf 1922 01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:26,800 Speaker 9: in Maryland, BMW Championship next weekend, and then the PGA's 1923 01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:30,360 Speaker 9: Tour Championship in Atlanta, so we are nearing the end 1924 01:48:30,439 --> 01:48:31,040 Speaker 9: of the season. 1925 01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:33,160 Speaker 4: Back to you, great stuff, Steve. 1926 01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:36,040 Speaker 2: I get nervous if I have like twenty dollars or 1927 01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:38,320 Speaker 2: just like a hat at the pro shop on the 1928 01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:42,240 Speaker 2: line when I'm playing with buddies. One point five million 1929 01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:44,360 Speaker 2: dollars basically on the line. 1930 01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:46,639 Speaker 9: On a third hole of a playoff, on a third hole. 1931 01:48:47,520 --> 01:48:51,360 Speaker 2: Wow.

But 1944 01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:28,880 Speaker 2: will Power, that's I've never heard of a better name 1945 01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:29,439 Speaker 2: in sports. 1946 01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:32,040 Speaker 9: We could come up with a few, but that's going 1947 01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:33,040 Speaker 9: to be on the list somewhere. 1948 01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:35,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, middle name should be freaking. 1949 01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:39,479 Speaker 2: That's actually a great point, which almost rhymes with steven, 1950 01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:42,400 Speaker 2: so we could probably just do it.

In other words, 1958 01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:15,280 Speaker 2: the NFL sort of standard that I think you're representing 1959 01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:19,240 Speaker 2: with your point is going to ask for him to 1960 01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:24,800 Speaker 2: not do stuff like this, but he is and and 1961 01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:27,800 Speaker 2: he defiantly will I don't really have an issue with it. 1962 01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,000 Speaker 2: I love authenticity. If that's who you are be you. 1963 01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:33,240 Speaker 2: But it's no different than now, I'm gonna forget his name. 1964 01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:35,120 Speaker 2: Who's my guy in the NBA draft who went to 1965 01:50:35,240 --> 01:50:37,759 Speaker 2: Utah fifth overall but he wanted to go to Washington. 1966 01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:39,559 Speaker 3: Oh? 1967 01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:45,320 Speaker 2: Who's my guy? He's Bailey? Thank you? Like I think 1968 01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:48,320 Speaker 2: you show up in a locker room with a couple 1969 01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:50,600 Speaker 2: of strikes against you already. When you do stuff like that, 1970 01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:54,920 Speaker 2: if you can handle it, great, be it two strike hitter. 1971 01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:59,800 Speaker 2: But I wouldn't do it. But I think that that's 1972 01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:04,679 Speaker 2: that's kind of the net result in today's day and age. 1973 01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:09,240 Speaker 5: The only problem with doing things like that is you 1974 01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:16,719 Speaker 5: don't give yourself any leeway. You don't give yourself any 1975 01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:20,800 Speaker 5: room to grow into being a player. When you come 1976 01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:24,559 Speaker 5: in like you've been doing it for ten years and 1977 01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:30,280 Speaker 5: you're all pro, that's a cliff that you will step 1978 01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:35,000 Speaker 5: off of. There's a cliff, there are spikes at the 1979 01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:37,960 Speaker 5: bottom of that. And so when you come in like that, 1980 01:51:38,760 --> 01:51:44,280 Speaker 5: you don't give yourself any room to make a mistake, right, 1981 01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:47,439 Speaker 5: to have a bad game. That's a lot of pressure 1982 01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:49,840 Speaker 5: to put on yourself. Now you can say, well, I've 1983 01:51:49,840 --> 01:51:51,599 Speaker 5: done it in high school, I've done it in college, 1984 01:51:51,640 --> 01:51:54,519 Speaker 5: I've done it in YadA, YadA, YadA. This ain't that. 1985 01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:02,599 Speaker 5: They're grown men out there feeding their families and so 1986 01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:05,720 Speaker 5: on and so forth who don't have the stomach for 1987 01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:11,240 Speaker 5: the shenanigans. Because my tenth year in the league, if 1988 01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:15,639 Speaker 5: someone comes into the locker room like that, I'm throwing 1989 01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,000 Speaker 5: the speaker. 1990 01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:17,240 Speaker 1: In the pool. 1991 01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:21,559 Speaker 5: I am, I hear you, and the locker room's going 1992 01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:26,960 Speaker 5: back me yep, Because as an offensive lineman and the 1993 01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:31,599 Speaker 5: guy responsible for protecting you, brother, this ain't no game. 1994 01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:33,120 Speaker 2: This is real. 1995 01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:36,920 Speaker 5: Now. If Shadura goes on to you gotta remember this 1996 01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:38,240 Speaker 5: is the four string quarterback. 1997 01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:41,800 Speaker 3: Maybe right, I'm not caring about. 1998 01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:45,559 Speaker 5: A guy coming in and he's the projected starter and 1999 01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,320 Speaker 5: there's so much work he needs to do to even 2000 01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:56,640 Speaker 5: see the field. It was a great first step, so 2001 01:52:56,800 --> 01:53:00,240 Speaker 5: many more to go. And what you do, I don't 2002 01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:02,960 Speaker 5: want to do is take ten steps forward five steps back. 2003 01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:11,920 Speaker 5: And when you continue to put yourself above the process 2004 01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:16,000 Speaker 5: and the team, you make yourself an easy target. And 2005 01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:20,519 Speaker 5: I'm a suaduor Sanders fan, I'm a Dion Sanders fans. 2006 01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:25,040 Speaker 5: I think he has the ability to really be good 2007 01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:28,559 Speaker 5: in this league. How good is up to him. But 2008 01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:34,160 Speaker 5: I also know the mindset of being a leader and 2009 01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:39,080 Speaker 5: a captain in that locker room. I know what that 2010 01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:45,360 Speaker 5: takes and I know what that looks like. And if 2011 01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:54,320 Speaker 5: your rap single are your song, is your intro, then 2012 01:53:54,840 --> 01:54:01,040 Speaker 5: are you focused on what's really going on? These are 2013 01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:04,760 Speaker 5: just real questions and I'm not piling on this. And 2014 01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:07,080 Speaker 5: you can say there was a lot of tweets like 2015 01:54:07,439 --> 01:54:11,200 Speaker 5: what now, right, you know, like I'm like. 2016 01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:12,280 Speaker 2: What now? 2017 01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:14,280 Speaker 4: Week two of the preseason, that's what now? 2018 01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:19,720 Speaker 5: But it came came from people outside of football, you 2019 01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:21,240 Speaker 5: know what I mean, like Lebron. 2020 01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:23,439 Speaker 3: But Lebron was like yeah, King. 2021 01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:25,680 Speaker 2: And yeah there was a little now, a little bit 2022 01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:27,799 Speaker 2: of victory lapping from Dion himself. 2023 01:54:28,360 --> 01:54:31,479 Speaker 5: But that's a dad. Do you think that's a father? Okay, no, 2024 01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:35,480 Speaker 5: you know this as a dad, you're like, uh, sometimes 2025 01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:36,400 Speaker 5: you get caught up in. 2026 01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:38,040 Speaker 2: It, no doubt, no doubt. 2027 01:54:39,120 --> 01:54:42,760 Speaker 5: But Dion does also know. And Dion came into the 2028 01:54:42,800 --> 01:54:45,760 Speaker 5: league a little different. Dion came in like that. But 2029 01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:48,840 Speaker 5: what's that for sure? You know, you show up to 2030 01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:53,080 Speaker 5: the combine, you run one forty, and you leave. I 2031 01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:57,080 Speaker 5: mean that's you know, that's how you weren't drafted in 2032 01:54:57,120 --> 01:54:58,920 Speaker 5: the fifth round, right, right, right right. 2033 01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:01,520 Speaker 3: You weren't a back when you were drafted. You you 2034 01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:03,280 Speaker 3: were drafted to be the guy. 2035 01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:08,880 Speaker 5: In baseball as well, So yeah, you can't be Dion 2036 01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:18,520 Speaker 5: Sanders with that. Case in point, what's his name receiver 2037 01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:25,280 Speaker 5: Pittsburgh went crazy? Antonio Brown sixth round draft pick. Antonio 2038 01:55:25,280 --> 01:55:29,400 Speaker 5: Brown was who he was no matter what drafted in 2039 01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,480 Speaker 5: the sixth round. Had to put that thing in the bottle, 2040 01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:34,840 Speaker 5: had to put they had to show up, go to work, 2041 01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:38,800 Speaker 5: get the deal he got. Then he became who he became. 2042 01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:44,760 Speaker 5: That's the real That's that's what it is. You got 2043 01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:48,120 Speaker 5: to lead the league in receiving for three years in 2044 01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:52,600 Speaker 5: a row, get a huge bag, and then you know, 2045 01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:56,200 Speaker 5: take a hot air balloon to training camp, drive a 2046 01:55:56,240 --> 01:56:00,360 Speaker 5: tank to training camp. Right, That's that's how that happens. 2047 01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:03,880 Speaker 5: You don't drive a tank to training camp as a 2048 01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:06,120 Speaker 5: fifth round draft pick and it's your first training camp. 2049 01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:09,160 Speaker 4: I got what more for you on the Browns. 2050 01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:12,160 Speaker 2: We're in the Fox Sports radio studios and coming up next, 2051 01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:16,000 Speaker 2: you still did say he's a fourth string quarterback even 2052 01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:17,600 Speaker 2: though a bunch of them are hurt. 2053 01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:18,920 Speaker 4: He played a bunch of the game. 2054 01:56:20,160 --> 01:56:22,920 Speaker 2: Who do you think is going to start at quarterback 2055 01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:24,880 Speaker 2: week one for the Browns will do that next on 2056 01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:33,200 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. These are the Fox Sports Radio studios. 2057 01:56:33,320 --> 01:56:36,080 Speaker 2: Plank and span your standing by just a few minutes 2058 01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:42,160 Speaker 2: to go. If you go to the depth chart online, 2059 01:56:43,840 --> 01:56:49,600 Speaker 2: the Browns will list Joe Flacco as QB one, Kenny 2060 01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:56,840 Speaker 2: Pickett as QB two, Dylan Gabriel as QB three, and 2061 01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:01,960 Speaker 2: Shade or Sanders's QB four. That's right. Go ahead and 2062 01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:05,520 Speaker 2: translate that for me in terms of what actually is 2063 01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:07,800 Speaker 2: in the minds of the Browns coaching staff and what 2064 01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:09,600 Speaker 2: will actually happen week one. 2065 01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:12,360 Speaker 5: Well, actually happen is Joe Flacco will play a little 2066 01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:16,080 Speaker 5: bit in one preseason game, probably the next one. He 2067 01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:19,760 Speaker 5: will be the starter opening week, and there's going to 2068 01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:27,040 Speaker 5: be a race or competition between Shaduur and Kenny Pickett 2069 01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:32,080 Speaker 5: to see who is going to be the backup quarterback 2070 01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:35,280 Speaker 5: that dresses out on opening day. 2071 01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:37,920 Speaker 2: You will predict that Dylan Gabriel will not even make 2072 01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:43,400 Speaker 2: the Browns maybe or maybe finds his way to all. 2073 01:57:42,720 --> 01:57:48,560 Speaker 5: Right, he'll be the practice squad. Okay, I mean, and 2074 01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:50,400 Speaker 5: I don't know how severe his injury is. 2075 01:57:51,240 --> 01:57:53,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're all dealing with stuff yeah. 2076 01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:57,080 Speaker 5: So don't'll that'll you know, skew things one way or 2077 01:57:57,120 --> 01:58:02,320 Speaker 5: the other. But based on if it all was healthy, 2078 01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:06,040 Speaker 5: that's what I would think. That Dylan Gabriel be a backup? 2079 01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:12,800 Speaker 5: Can he Pickett may be on another team, Shardure would be, Well, 2080 01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:17,200 Speaker 5: it's it's the competition they're they're competing, sure, but Dylan 2081 01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:18,800 Speaker 5: Gabriel will be on the team, whether it be on 2082 01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:22,080 Speaker 5: the practice squad or or whatever. It's a little different 2083 01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:24,280 Speaker 5: for quarterbacks when it comes to that. 2084 01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:27,200 Speaker 2: Do you see a window that Shadoor is actually the 2085 01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:28,880 Speaker 2: backup quarterback for week one? 2086 01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:32,400 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, there's a window there. 2087 01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:35,760 Speaker 5: Will he walk through the window. That's that's up to him. 2088 01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:36,920 Speaker 4: Who's starting Week five? 2089 01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:39,720 Speaker 3: Who do they play week five? 2090 01:58:40,120 --> 01:58:44,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. Just you know it matters five five weeks. 2091 01:58:44,040 --> 01:58:45,920 Speaker 2: I know you want your soft landing spot, right and 2092 01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:46,800 Speaker 2: I have a soft landing. 2093 01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:49,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're the Browns, so there are no soft landing. 2094 01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:50,160 Speaker 3: Well there are. 2095 01:58:50,360 --> 01:58:54,480 Speaker 2: You do week five your home against Minnesota, but it's 2096 01:58:54,520 --> 01:58:56,360 Speaker 2: actually not home. It's an overseas game. 2097 01:58:56,480 --> 01:58:57,440 Speaker 3: No, you don't want to do that. 2098 01:58:57,640 --> 01:58:59,560 Speaker 4: You play at six thirty in the morning Pacific time. 2099 01:58:59,640 --> 01:59:01,640 Speaker 3: Now, now you gotta le Joe flag take that one. 2100 01:59:01,760 --> 01:59:05,200 Speaker 2: That's too much, okay at Pittsburgh week six, home to 2101 01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:09,400 Speaker 2: Miami week seven, that one, that one, Yep, that's your door. 2102 01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:10,160 Speaker 3: That's your door. 2103 01:59:11,400 --> 01:59:18,120 Speaker 5: Okay, if he does what he's supposed to do. And 2104 01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:20,040 Speaker 5: the reason I say that, I mean, look, they love him. 2105 01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:24,520 Speaker 5: There there aren't many places you can go buy a 2106 01:59:24,640 --> 01:59:31,120 Speaker 5: rookie fifth round draft pick jersey. They're selling them in 2107 01:59:31,560 --> 01:59:37,920 Speaker 5: the chip store.
